General :: Galaxy S Line Going To Crap?
Jan 6, 2012
When the Galaxy S line first started in 2010 with the Fascinate, it was THE phone to have because of its really cool features at the time. Then they got creative with the ticker display on the Continuum and other phones. All the phones had the nice, shiny but plasticy look but I'm okay with it. But it seems like now that Samsung is making just blah phones and slapping the word Galaxy S on it and calling it a day. The Galaxy SII is pretty nice but some phones like the Samsung Illusion don't even have a flash camera anymore. I really hope Samsung and Verizon puts their thinking caps back on and really start hurling more phones like the Galaxy Nexus out onto the sales floor.

Have just got a Galaxy S and this is my first experience with Android.
a. How do I set the host name for my phone?
b. How do I start a command line shell?

I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S on 8th October 2010 in Bangalore, India. two weeks later my screen developed a bright white line on the bottom. ( see pic attached ) I have not dropped or mishandled the phone in any way. I took it to the nearest samsung service centre... they told me that the display needs to be replaced ... They say that the phone display is out of stock and they dont know by when it will be available.
I feel really cheated ... after purchasing such an expensive phone one never expects it to malfunction in less than 2 weeks. And samsungs customer care reps very conveniently replied that they dont know when it will be in stock and to keep in touch via calls. So much for buying an amazing phone.

Recently I have been having issues with viewing my email messages in the Yahoo Mail App. When I open some messages all is see is line after line of code instead of the message text. It doesn't seem to matter what the source email is (gmail, hotmail, etc). Some emails are ok some are not. Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes?

I have a text file in my res/raw directory. I want to read the file line by line, but FileReader and BufferedReader fail, because of Android's security restriction. How else can I do it?

Please try again." then a big button saying force close to push. I keep pushing and it keeps coming back up and I cant do a single thing about it?

I have just received my D2-G this evening. I upgraded from my HTC Droid Eris and man is it an upgrade! I used appbrain to move all of my apps and stuff and the D2-G is fast as heck compared to the Eris. My only problem is that I am getting overwhelmed by all of the CRAP that comes on the phone. I know it has more to offer than my previous but GEEZE is moto and vzw trying to kill me with all of this stuff on the phone? So, I have checked out the posts over the past couple of days on the D2 and I am guessing that there isn't much difference between the D2 and the D2-G aside from the obvious. Now I am just wanting to simplify the phone and get it down to the goods and avoid the bads. I was hoping out the gate to be able to watch netflix on the phone but that doesn't seem to be the case at all (I travel a lot and I also sit and wait a lot). So, maybe someone can point me in the right direction to explain all that this new beast can do and what I need not worry about (as a simple guy who isn't trying to OC the phone and take over the world).

Verizon was bad enough but at least I knew going in that I would have My Verizon. I am getting real sick of UNREMOVEABLE crap ware or features, some just showing up on my phone. One day it's Kindle, now it's Places. I keep waking up to new junk or built in ahem...features that I don't want and can't remove. Let see - this is what I can't remove so far: Amazon MP3 - Don't play music on phone, don't need it Yeah I know I can root but I don't want to be an Android guru. I just want to use the phone to make calls and use the Apps that I want vs what Google or Verizon thinks is the greatest thing since milk. Jeez - people complain about Jobs having to much control with Apple, this isn't that much different. I feel better but I hope Google and Verizon can YOU HEAR ME NOW. Let us remove this useless junk.

I am sitting here looking at some pictures I took with my Droid then uploaded them to Facebook and Twitter and they don't look good at all. Its like the colors are all faded looking. I have shot some nice looking pictures with my phone before but for some reason here lately they look horrible! Anybody else notice this with their phone when your uploading to a website? I do have photoshop mobile so maybe I should try and edit them first before I upload a picture next time.

I am so disgusted with all of the Facebook apps and widgets. I'm also sick and tired of constantly being brought back to one FB app or another when I'm trying to just use the browser. Is there a way to disable all of the FB crap altogether and just use the browser?

What is the name of the App that kills the Sprint crap from launching when you boot up your phone. Tired of the Sprint Nascar and Football Apps launching.
I tried doing a search on the forums and a google search but couldn't remember the key words, author or name.

The X10 seems like an ok phone but I have a few issues..
1. In call volume is unacceptable
2. Wifi is useless
3. Most of the apps are largely crap
I've had the X10 for a few months and overall i'm disappointed. As far as I'm concerned apple have the content/apps on lockdown and all the droid apps i have seem vastly inferior.Will the 2.1 update improve my experience or should i cut my losses and pay for an upgrade to the iphone or comparable droid handset?

I returned my first captivate due to annoying buzzing from the ear speaker during calls. I figured the speaker was blown. On my second one the sound was much less apparent but it was still kind of there. Its been about a week now and I believe it is now just as bad as the first one I had. Are these speakers really blown or just really crappy quality?

So we all know that the x10 has crap volume, but i have a question, mainly for powerkiter because he was the one who stated that with root his volume went up. How do you increase the volume? i would like to reap these rewards too.

I was rooted and and had lagfix on my fascinate. Then I decided to download the new update from verizon today. After the update the update screen kept on popping up even after I already installed it. Then I found out that my apps that require root like autokiller and setcpu did not work anymore even though I still hade the superuser app. So I rooted my phone again restarted it and the apps worked again then I decided I wanted to do the clockworkmod installation thing so I could make my phone flashable, the instructions recommended that i remove lag fix so I took my phone plugged it into the pc and went to my ryan lagfix folder whatever on my desktop and clicked on the unlagfixme.bat thing and at the end it had some errors or something even mentioning the Innopath Activecare in it which was for some reason probably why it didnt work. So I decided to try it again and it didnt work. Then I rebooted the phone and I saw the samsung logo and then black screen!

How do install a *.apk from adb command line?
First I tried to cp the *.apk from /sdcard/backups/apps to /system/app (after rw mounting the file system of course)
I did successfully move it to /system/app but the *apk was not "installed"
then I rm it and tried:
install /sdcard/backups/appa/<package>.apk /system/app
and it copied the *apk to /system/app but still was not "installed"
I also tried:
install /system/app/<package>*apk but got the error dialog:
Code:
BusyBox v1.19.0.git.adrynalyne (2010-12-21 22:03:30 MST) multi-call binary.
Usage: install [-cdDsp] [-o USER] [-g GRP] [-m MODE] [SOURCE]... DEST
Copy files and set attributes
Options:
-cJust copy (default)
-dCreate directories
-DCreate leading target directories
-sStrip symbol table
-pPreserve date
-o USERSet ownership
-g GRPSet group ownership
-m MODESet permissions
My goal is to figure out how to use adb command line and also I want to install an app as if it were a pre-installed app. For example pre-installed apps don't show up as a removable app and stay installed after a factory reset.

I have a green line (Vertically) about a 1/3 of the way from center to the right. I got my phone when I woke up this morning and unplugged it. I then went back to sleep for 30 minutes, when I awoke I turned on my phone. For a few seconds it was fine but after about 30-40 seconds the line appeared with a flickering gesture, then a consistent line.
information :
When I take a screen shot it is not there.
I factory reset my phone still no resolve.
It shows up on boot up.
I haven't dropped my phone, even once.
it is a GSM unlock so I cannot return it to the manufacturer.
I do a lot on my phone including gaming, social networking, and watching tv shows/ movies.

I'm testing out Lightning Launcher on my SGS4 and so far, I really like what I see -- especially the ability to "pin" icons in a certain location.
But I've noticed that some icons (not all) have a line above them for some reason. At first, I wanted to get rid of all the lines. But then I realized that I'd like to show them on some icons -- but I want to control which ones.
I want to pin two rows of icons to create sort of a 2-row dock. And I'd like to have a line above the top row.
how to control this line?

I don't really know where to put this topic but anyways my problem is that i need to edit a line in a file.
So i think of something like this
su
Cd /data/data/foldernameofapp/
Edit "file.dat"
Edit line 4 "text here 2"
i want it to edit like this "text here 3"
Change only the number. or replace the hole line with a new line where i only changed the number. btw the best is if the script can change a line and not find text and change. Because the number in the text i want to change can vary from different numbers.
P.S i can use root explorer and open the file with a text editor and change it, this works but takes forever P.S.S i got root

I have had an EKEN T02 tablet for one year now. For almost one month every time I switch it on there is a straight line running through my screen.
Sometimes it is green and thinner and sometimes it is grey and thick. As my screen keeps working it gradually fades away but it never disappears.
