You are half right. Many sites do strip the metadata. Sorry, but in post 23 I linked to an image from photobucket that a chap posted in the photo thread and then linked to the google map location that the embedded exif data shows. Check for yourself if you don't believe me.

You are right about facebook, but in flickr the stripping of metadata is optional.

[Nook Color General] pastorchip:
Hopefully there is hope for me. I've recently discovered the wonderful world of rooting and rooted my nook successfully. After root I loaded ROM Manager and started the process of backing up with the clockworkmod. (I'm very new to rooting so I'm not sure exactly where I went wrong). Somewhere in the process I got stuck in a menu loop in clockwork. I trolled the forums and attempted several things including CRW removal and Nook complete restore. I'm not sure I attempted them correctly as I was still in the CRW menu screen. Now, my nook will not even turn on plugged in or otherwise. Any help (and please make it detailed step by step) would be greatly appreciated. I'll keep my eye close to this thread throughout the evening. Thank you in advance for helping out a new rooter.

I had the same issue and this worked for me. next time you flash CWR be sure you do a normal reboot B4 doing a reboot to recovery. just flash this...

CWR-removal-rootsafe I cant attach the URL but google it and it will come up in the second choice. let me know...

Thanks jarussillo. I found the file you refereed to and have it on my computer. Please give me a step by step on how to flash it without being able to see anything on my screen. I don't have any backup, all I have is a formatted sd card. Do I put the unzipped file on the card, or do I unzip the files and drop those on the card? Thanks for being willing to help.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
You will need to burn a CWR SD card, then drop the zip file into the root of the sd card, then Boot off the SD card, (You might have to hold the power button down for 20secs before you will see it boot) then Flash the Zip file from CWR.

Also read this thread. FULLY read it.

AWESOME! That article looks like exactly what I needed. I knew it was out there somewhere, I just couldn't find it. THANKS!!!! I'll update (hopefully with success) when I'm done.
[Nook Color General] pastorchip:
Well, no success tonight. I downloaded all the stuff mentioned in the previous article, but the rootpack & the clockwork don't download in a zipped folder (like I even observed in a youtube video). They download as a GZ file. I'm not sure what to do with that because I can't decompress it and send it into the disk imager. What am I missing here? I'll check back in the am, thanks.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
http://www.7-zip.org/

this can decompress pretty much anything, Plus its free and open source
[Nook Color General] Vettesfan:
If I remember right that gz file needs to be unpacked so you can get the img file and then write the img with windisk32 to the SD that has cwr on it. But I may be mistaken pretty new to this stuff to
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
What operating system are you using?

Be aware that in the rooting/CWM/ROM world you basically have ROMs and installable zips, you need to be aware of how to handle each.

If windows, you should be using winRAR to unzip image files for flashing to microSD. If the compressed file contains files and folders its most likely an installabe zip thats to be copied to a microSD AS IS and installed using clockwork recovery. If the compressed fiile has an .img file in it, its a ROM and must be burned to a microSD (effectively erasing said microSD) and then inserted into the nook while its off.

For ROMs as described above, uncompress the .img files to your hdd and then use win32disk imager to burn the .img to the microSD using a usb adapter.
[Nook Color General] Yoy0YO:
pretty much burn CWR onto a uSD card then put a rom onto the uSD card in the .zip format.

put in the uSD card, plug into PC, hold the on button for a while then you'll hear the PC do the "usb device connected" noise, keep holding that power button until it powers on

most problems can be solved by writing any recent CWR onto a uSD card, the great news is that the nook color's boot priority is straight to the uSD which means any problem on the emmc isn't too big as it'll boot to uSD first
[Nook Color General] pastorchip:
good morning all. I'm gonna get this figured out today, I feel it! Muzzy, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.
[Nook Color General] pastorchip:
Ok, here's where I'm at. I see the endroad (meaning I understand the steps needed for recovery) and have all the tools I need except for a proper CWR file, which seems to be the most important part. The file I downloaded from http://legacyschool.us.to/nookdev/clockwork/0.7/ (took me about half an hour) does not give me a folder with extractable files as seen in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B31y_lyHIA (jump to 45 secs.). Instead it gives me a single gz file that is not compressed. It's not runnable through win 32 diskimager. Putting that file on an sd card and trying to boot my nook with it has no effect.

Edit: Ok, WinZip to the rescue. I was able to extract the file with WinZip and have it cooking in the disk imager now! WOOHOO!

Edit 2: All seems to be installing correctly, fingers crossed...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentbob59:
I was looking through the system dump, and i found in the system/media/audio/ui folder there are two sound files for dock and undock.

My question is are these default 2.3 (gingerbread) files or dose it mean sony are going to release some kind of dock for the arc :confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
There is a dock for the Play, it's either a shared part of the firmware or SE plans to release a dock for the Arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentbob59:
Oh ok thanks for the info, hopefully there will be a dock for this phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thklinge:
Could be from Android. There are dock and undock sounds on the Nexus One with my original "Google Desktop Dock". It's nice, it uses the friction-less contacts on the bottom. No "insert micro usb"-nonsense.

A dock for the Arc would be possible, a horizontal one that connects to the USB. Probably not from SE, but a third party producer will have one out in no time.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
I'm not sure there will be a dock you can just drop the Arc into - the design really doesn't lend itself to being docked.

For example when I use the Arc in landscape mode, I do so with the buttons on the right - and I'd imagine most right-handed people do so as well.

A dock would have the buttons on the left, so 'the wrong way' as it were.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thklinge:
Yeah, but not a deal-breaker. On the N1, I set it up to automatically launch the clock when you connect the charger. It shows the clock with todays weather and goes into a very dim simple clock after a while. Perfect for having on the nightstand. It works in all directions so "the wrong way landscape" won't be that much of an issue.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggedy:
im hoping theres a dock soon, even a third party one with no special features. Its something ive been missing since I dumped my desire
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimche:
There are some third party docks on ebay but I bought one before for my x10 and they have no design and just a dock which I found it really crappy.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thklinge:
Yeah, the ones on Ebay now are more holders with a chargecable attached:

Let's hope some better designs come out later.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggedy:
im surprised manufacturers havent jumped on it. It would be a similar design as the play but without the 3.5mm stero jack
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcOnFire:
Uhhh... the micro USB port for charging is on the top right side of the phone and the dock holds the bottom. That means the dock only serves the purpose to hold the phone, but not charing it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thklinge:
Yeah, as I said: It's a holder with a charge-cable attached. You put the phone in the dock, then take the curly-wire and connect to you phone for charging.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I'm not sure if that's possible (well I'm sure maybe it is, but no idea how). Every time I've ever changed to any font, it changes everything. Everything. I've always used the stock browser, and that always changes with the font change. I have never tried a different browser, like dolphin HD or Miren, but maybe you could try one of those and see if it retains the original font or if it also changes.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Use Firefox Mobile for your browser. It uses its own fonts.

That was one of the things I hated about it, actually. If I set a font for the system, that's the font I want to have everywhere. Obviously, some people disagree. For you, there is Firefox.

1) Wiping poo poo data and system poopee, with the cache, do get rid of all the bowel movements that your phone has acquired.

2) NO, your Rom wont be deleted in where you've placed in your SD card. HOWEVER, you should create a custom folder in your INTERNAL ORGANS OF YOUR SD CARD and save all your personal files, such as the custom roms, and such. NO FREAKING GUARANTEE that it wont be DELETED or POOPED OUT.

Guys

I have a wierd problem with the usb connections in Froyo 2.2 version. Each time I try to connect my galaxy to computer, I am seeing 2 different drives on my computer but they are inaccessible. So I went to the USB connection from the homescreen roll out and then clicked "connect to usb" button. Normally, after clicking that button, I should get a pop up window to ask if I a want to mount the sdcard or not. Unfortunately, I am not getting that dialogbox and I am not able to mount the sdcards at all. Instead, I am having only the option to turn off usb. By doing this, my camera starting working perfectly. But if I restart my mobile for any reason, then both the internal and external card memories and camera are getting inaccessible.

Although I have inserted a 16gb of external memory card, because of these issues I am not able to access that as well. The mount SD card menu and is not working at all. Any help to resolve the above isssu is highly appreciated.

I am currently on Factory rom with following specifications.

Baseband Version I9000DXJPB,

Firware Version - 2.2;

Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 root-at-SE-S604 #1;

Build Number : FROYO.DXJPE

Although this is a basic problem that most of the galaxy owners must be experiencing it I couldnt find the right anwer anywhere on the net.

So Droidbraines out there - please help me.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jim5055:
I have had an I9000 for some time but missed the Telstra 850MHz 3G service so finally bought an I9000M (Bell variant) locally in Australia.

This thread is for others that might buy this phone in Australia. ie as delivered is does not work as stated in the advertising.

As the I9000M arrived it had:

PDA: I9000UGJL2​

PHONE: I9000XXJPK​

CSC: I9000BMCJL2​

Build 2010.12​

I did not really want to make any changes as this phone variant is renowned for internal SD card corruption and I wanted the phone to be in a condition to return it if I broke it after I stress tested the internal SDcard.

But . . as delivered is did not run 850MHz (as it was advertised it would) and GPS was pretty non functional. ie I was no better off compared to the I9000 I have.

So after research I found that the JPK PHONE firmware is pretty bad and using Odin I flashed the JL2 PHONE (aka modem firmware) and got immediate access to 850MHz.

At this stage the phone has not been rooted and if it dies I can still return it.

But now GPS is still horrible - lucky to get 2 satellites outside.

After research I found the JM9 GPS firmware update.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831725&highlight=Eclair+JM9+is+very+good

But this was a ClockWorkMod image - so I needed CWM - sigh - ie a kernel update is now required. OK I found the lightest touch kernel update I could - aka voodoo added to a JL2 kernel that provided CWM as well - flashed this using ODIN. (I did not do this until I also obtained the native JL2 kernel that I could flash to return the phone to stock).

Using CWM I backed up the phone then installed the Eclair JM9 GPS firmware update and I now have 7 satellites inside and approx 5 second lock outside. I have not made any other changes ie gps.conf is still set for north America for example.

So I am very happy. Buying the I9000M was worth it.

Other observations: Native JL2 is pretty fast - activation of voodoo lag fix only made a slight improvement - barely noticeable - in fact I will run with no lag fix I think.

To do: not a lot. I will look at Darkys ROM (running at present on the I9000) as at present video payback is not seemless on the I9000M - a tad jerky and with Darky's v8.0 ROM on the I9000 the playback is very smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] duntz:
Have you tried seeARMS version of jl2? I like it a lot. You can also try flashing the jk4 modem to see if it helps your gps problems. That has worked for some people.

Edit: if you haven't read anywhere else, the bootloader from jl2 is supposed to fix the sd card corruption issue. This doesn't get deleted when flashing other roms either.
