try a media player like vlc or mplayer. they tend to be able to play anything you throw at them.

i think it's quite interesting how some goods have an ethical dimension and others don't. an example would be coffee. if you go into a shop to buy coffee you often see fair trade brands which...

the sgsII is a pretty expensive piece of kit. i'd be tempted to do something more useful with the money, like go on a holiday or provide for a source of water in a couple of third world villages. or...

you could dual-boot ubuntu and use dvd::rip. i've been using it at work since my laptop with an optical drive blew up on me :( now i can watch my dvds again :)

actually i haven't asked for as sgs II, though my boss offered, and samsung appears to have supported the galaxy s a lot better than many assumed would be the case. i was certainly very happy to get...

hi everybody!

well, i broke my sgs. not badly, it's just the usb port doesn't work anymore. it may have been some cat hairs, or it may have got sweaty while i was out jogging.

my boss, in all...

so i managed to break my sgs by doing something rather stupid. actually i'm quite proud of myself that it lasted as long as it did. so it's now been sent back to samsung to get replaced (huzzah...

as far as i know a lot of people have this problem with froyo on the galaxy s. i get it on the default browser and on Firefox . it will probably only get fixed in gingerbread, but at least that seems...

if you're going to be using Linux , ati graphics cards have better native support , though the closed source driver isn't as good as nvidia's.

are there any decent games for Linux nowadays by the...

i sort of like the new S2. it looks good and has good specs.i'm worried about any lock-down samsung may do, and i've heard bad things about nvidia when it comes to non-standard specs and only...

hi :)

from what i've gathered, most people spend a couple of weeks trying to find ways to do everything they want to with the phone without touching kies. people don't seem to like the software...

i don't think game development for android will be a problem much longer. the thing is, games take a long time to develop and android had about 3 percent of the market a year back. now that android...

i imagine skype uses the internal dictionary, so you can probably write something short in sl4a to edit it, or see what's available on the marketplace. for cam talk phone to anything else, one...

i just managed to install heimdall from source like this:

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0.dev # you probably only need one of these libusb-dev things, but i...

Hi everybody! i'm thinking of putting together a guide for those of us who don't use windows to explain how to flash custom firmwares and roms on to the galaxy s.

as far as i've been able to...

mm, well if he hasn't got a 32 bit package to download, you could try downloading the source and compiling it yourself. i could give it a go monday evening and tell you what the dependencies are.

The wrong architecture? I'm not sure what you mean. I thought heimdall could be compiled on pretty much any device.

hi everybody.

in case anyone's missed it, the cyanogen team have released the first developer version of gingerbread for the samsung galaxy s.

(here used to be a link to the announcement on xda...

It does sound interesting, but i'm not sure about motorola. if i'm informed correctly, motorola has a habit of locking the operating system so you can't update it yourself or use custom roms. i think...

there's a software called heimdall you can use to update firmware on the galaxy s from linux and os x. try searching the xda forums for more information.

i think phones should just go up to 1920x1080 and be done with the resolution race. not that you get much benefit over what we have now, but maybe the carriers would go on to advertise phones based...

I dunno. The phone looks interesting enough i suppose, if rather like the sony erricson arc. I'll be in the market for a new phone too at the start of april and i'm really not sure what to get. The...

thank you :)

Hi! Can you send hin a pm for me too? I can't post new threads or even reply to some either :(

i updated to the newest froyo firmware using heimdall a couple of weeks ago and things are much improved. i think it really is now the phone samsung said it was when they sold it to me.

plus...
