Here is the new beta firmware of BADA 2.0. Have you tested it ?
thanks for the info buddy. gonna test it.
===according to bada-os.inf o (via Google Translate): ===
"So the changes that I noticed compared to XPKH1/KH2:
Several visual changes (such as when you first start there is no "blue screen" - just the icon informs about the configuration, the browser strips are gray, the colors changed in the dialer and calculator to the dark, changed the appearance of the bar when changing volume)
When entering the individual applications are "the transition animations"
When turned off, screen rotation:
Videos are played in a horizontal position
Camera settings are in a horizontal position
It is possible to record movies in HD on the memory card (although in the case of my phone / memory card if the phone catches a few seconds "zwiechy" - in previous versions required a restart)
[Unconfirmed] It seems to me that the work will navigate Route 66 (although I do not know on what basis is the activation - at any rate, you can browse maps and routing works without a license purchased)
The notification settings now appear in the applications from Samsung Apps (do not know if an application uses it and I'm not sure if that was not previously)"
===another info===
Accounts samsung functioning
FW is the most stable release so far.
Samsung apps fast
Some graphical changes (keypad with color Bada 1.2) etc. ..
===some other guy says (unconfirmed)===
Phone will crash if connect to KIES via wifi!
Thanks, stathismes.
This is very useful info for those willing to test this new firmware.
still very unstable. it reboots very often. cant install widgets from sasmung apps. but anyway, its faster.
"zwiechy" - means freezes (plural), this is noun from verb "zawieszać", eng. freeze. It's just polish computer jargon.

Yes, widgets cannot be installed.
Apart from the widgets problem, this version of the bada 2.0 firmwares seems to be the best. No random crashes like the previous versions.
Samsung Accounts is now ok. Over 90% of apps are working.
Install from kies and on mobile is ok. But when you install from mobile, do nothing until installation is over. Otherwise, phone may restart by itself.
SHP works excellently.
Facebook, Twitter, Google WAC, all work fine without crashes nor delay.
Signing in to any apps now is swift without problems.
Though Route 66 license still does not sync automatically.
For one day of use, no crash so far. For this, I am keeping this firmware on my phone till the official release (I uninstalled each of the previous bada 2.0 firmwares after 2 or 3 hours of use).
it reboots almost every 5 minutes when i'm on browser. i cant use it. i prefer kh1.

do you set the debug level to low? how about hard reset?take note, we need a hard reset after flashing
KH3: random crashes during writing sms or listening to the music. IMO less stable version. I'll wait for the final one.

Hey, how about spoofing apps in this S8500XPKH3 version? Do you guyz think it will be possible? This is the only thing that keeps me from updating now. Not because im a little dirty man (though i may be ) but because Samsung Apps gives me an error when trying to link my visa card.
So any ideas about spoofing?
spoofing didnt work with updated 1.2 much less bada 2
the later 1.2 versions disabled the old way of spoofing.
(the earliest 1.2 versions can spoof)
theres a new method that can be used on the later 1.2 versions which fools kies into downloading paid apps but expect samsung to close that loophole soon enough.
even the new method doesnt work on bada 2 so i guess samsung just has to
fix kies for bada 1.2 newest versions.
i think spoofing is the reason commercial developers are veering away from bada
like furry legends, vampire rush, hero of sparta 2 arent in the samsung apps market anymore.
In many countries, there isnt even an option to buy paid
apps at their respective samsung stores.
samsung is so slow opening the paid apps market in those countries
its one reason why spoofing became a widespread practice.
samsung is partly to blame why spoofing became endemic.
the delays for the paid apps option would push even law abiding citizens
to look for illegal alternatives.

For example google any game-app for android just add androids app extension "apk", just like with iPhone extension "ipa". Even more Android almost allowed it by adding support for unknown source app instalation.
90% of aplication unfortunaly means that sigic maps doesn't work. :/
Or meaby it's just mine problem?
Bada 2 looks great form me it is much faster than Android OS i've seen, for exammple on galaxy S , do not mention devices with worse CPU :/ ( galaxy S has 1 GHZ processing Unit )

You can't compare the user base of Bada to that of iOS or even Android... orders of magnitude more users in, in general, much richer countries than that of Bada (no offense towards poor countries, of course).
BTW, XPKH3 for Wave II is also out: http://hotfile.com/dl/127455538/1e3f8b5/S8530XPKH3.rar.html
Just downloading and flashing - want to see whether the official 2.0 SDK works with it (with beta 2, it didn't).

Is sounding good, once out I think I'll unroot and just stick with this as all I rooted for was A2SD!
a list of changes - http://gizmodo.com/5543323/
Good they've included the official Twitter app - hope HTC stop using bloody Peep!!
Jammy sods ! All get a free htc evo i want!
Its meant to be out for N1 today!!
or is that not true as I read it on a site that reported the announcement.
if its out today then hopefully someone can start to work on the port to Desire!!
If it's out I'd imagine HTC are already working on it - as a prefered partner I assume they'd have it by now...

well HTC are slow at updates so would like a ported N1 rom for now till 2.2 with sense is out.
If it's already loaded on the Evo 4g they al got for free :-(, doesn't that mean its already ported to htc sense UI??? Shouldn't it be able to work on our desires as well???
With very little, if no, work yes...I'd imagine!
damnit, flash 10.1 public beta is available, but will only download for android 2.2 devices

Market filters:
When a user searches or browses in Android Market, the results are filtered, and some applications might not be visible. For example, if an application requires a trackball (as specified in the manifest file), then Android Market will not show the app on any device that does not have a trackball.
The manifest file and the device's hardware and features are only part of how applications are filtered — filtering also depends on the country and carrier, the presence or absence of a SIM card, and other factors.
Changes to the Android Market filters are independent of changes to the Android platform itself. This document will be updated periodically to reflect any changes that occur.

Does anyone have any idea what the market filters are checking against?
That's not really a good reason to do anything, let alone not using 2.2

Not being able to get apps? Did you read the link? Doubtful. Uh sure. Have fun with vanilla 2.2 and 0.0 apps.
I'm sorry, did you read your own link? If you had scrolled down, it shows several examples of what can be filtered. The filters are implemented by the application developer themselves, and if they don't, they still show up in the market.
Besides, filtering by the application has been in Android since 2.0. Any application that deems a device incapable of running it (for example, a lack of a light sensor) can stop itself from running.
some kind of filter (the ones I've heard of so far are incompatible screen resolution, unverified builds, and protected apps) is already being applied to 2.1 in the AOSP build. I couldnt see Yelp, the Android Community and TMZ apps for whatever reason

Oh yeah, how suspicious. French people couldn't possibly prefer apps in French and people with that new Dell pad thing probably still want SMS and contact apps.
Yeah
so you are saying not upgrade to 2.2 because marketplace will filter apps for our phone, but stick with 2.1 because it doesn't?
well genius, why don't you go and install http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.yelp.android on your phone and let us know how that 'no filtering' works out for you.
When I was running my Vougue we ran into this problem as well, its not a big deal at all. from what I remember it was checking about the build.prob and screen size that is setup in your startup. what I used to do was set my phone to my the specs for the G1, then install the apps after adjusting the density to fit everything on screen and then reboot using factory startup. it worked pretty well for most of the apps since many only blocked off whatever border the developer had.
heres the problem though but with the pace we are going it wont come up for a while, once we decide we have a rom stable enough to flash we lost the abilty to change the settings since WM is copletely gone and no haret was used. I switched over to the Touch Pro and we had the exact same problem which was solved in the EXACT way but we were not flashed still(TP2 still has a LOOOONG way to go sad to say), kept the touch pro 2 for only a few weeks before they replaced my Sprint Line TP with a Touch pro 2 due to all the TP1 problems and i'm still saddened by the slow progress. I am a developer myself and even an avid budsmoker and was still able to help out. now Refer has done a great job but from my understanding he is just doing most changes to the Android Filesystem, theirs a couple other guys working on the kernels which would be were all the hardware problems are going to be fixed from. no matter what build we use something in the kernel is either not right, or we dont have the driver in place for Android itself and since we have few Hardware level developers working on these things it seems to be low progress.
Please post your first impressions of the JPH firmware. A changelog and bugs encountered would also be helpful.
Thanks!

I'd be curious to know whether the thing that occurred with JPC on sim locked phones is still happening with this firmware - the product code changing and the phone asking for a network code. I really don't want to root my phone and go through the file copying again - I like it nice and stock-y.

If you pinch-zoom in the applications menu this is now smooth =)
edit:
That was only true until I installed apps and had 5 pages of apps
First impressions best 2.2 out there at the moment. No lag, very responsive mind you not downloaded many apps at the moment. No market missing apps.
I find 2.2 is hardly as exciting as what people make it out to be.

JPH After 3 Hours Review:
Zero issues so far for me. I'm using the APK lagfix. Everything is nice and snappy (with and without the lagfix, although the lagfix seems to makes it better).
GPS seems to get an accurate lock very quickly indoors. (Started up maps, it found the nearest cellphone tower instantly with a 1km radius or something, then found my location perfectly after ~6 seconds. Going to street view once it had my location took my directly outside my house. Not the best GPS test ever, but it worked as well as any other GPS I've ever seen for that simple task.)
Compass seems to be as flaky as ever. This might be a hardware problem with my phone though, since the compass has always been flaky.
Blacks in videos seem as good as ever, and it played a few video files I gave it without issues.
Google market worked without issue, and wifi/hsdpa worked well. No issues with sdcards or anything like that either.
Internet browser is the best I've seen it, with flashing loading and playing smoothly without affecting speed on the rest of the page. Full page engadget with flash ads along the top and right side scrolled very smoothly after loading fully.
Games work the same that they've always worked (zero change, there aren't any games out that tax the GPU yet.)
I'll post a further review after using it for 24 hours or so.
Sorry to disturb your happyness and the overall enthusiasm
But.
Similar to JPC there is still an great Problem or Bug.
As JPC, JPH also dont sync tasks and appointments that are created with another app than the built in stock calendar
This is (for me, and for everyone who want to use the Galaxy seriously for Buisiness and Task planning) an absolutely bad behaviour.
I use Jorte and at first Quick Addroid for adding and editing Tasks. Because the Stock Calendar is to poor in Functionality and not very comfortable.
So if i add an Task with e.g. Quick Addroid, it appears in Device in all installed Calendar apps but is not synced with Google.
If i then edit and save it in Stock Calendar, then it will be synced.
Maybe, it belongs to changes in the code in Froyo, that ar not compatible with not samsung apps. Maybe the programmers have to fix it in their Software.
But also maybe that it is an Bug and Samsung have to fix this.

To be honest, I doubt this is a dealbreaker for 99% of people.
I think it would be classed as a 'minor annoyance'! As far as I know, syncing (google integration in general) has changed a bit in 2.2, so it's probably the app that has to be updated. I could be way off here though.
Scrolling trough the Touchwiz icons in the menu is very sluggish here. Eclair was way smoother. Is just me?

Nope, it isn't just you. I've done factory reset and it's the same.

Maybe you´r right.
But this is my experience and my oppinion.
So far, so bad.
If this is (and i think so, as you) an problem of the apps, that ar not compatible with Froyo, then i hope they fix it asap.
For me is the proper sync of all Data and tasks absolutely mandatory. And so i have to downgrade (once again) to JM8
Very bad.
Much more because i really appreciate and like the new Functions in Froyo.

Is WiFi Router working for you? I just get on H icon in notification bar upload arrow highlighted, download arrow stays gray all the time and theres no connection on PC. On USB tethering i get few pings nicely and then connection is broken for few seconds. I have to try this with other FW, maybe it's my provider fault but maybe you have simmilar problem?
Well...then , not worth upgrading from JM8 , i guess
Uhhh, theres also problem with compass and calibration. Every phone restart they are changing to default which is bad and compass after reboot always shows that theres wrong magnetic field and it shows wrong directions.

Never had good experiences with Samsung products and support... they only want to sell, get OUR money, and then tell their customers to screw themselves.
I know we all just got our eLocity A7 this week. Lets put our heads together and list apps that work, apps that don't and work arounds.
I will be adding a list later today. I have about 70 apps downloaded to try out.

Slingplayer Mobile for Android (but sometimes you have to launch it several times)
Doesn't Work:
SIRUIS-XM Online: Hangs on update after initial sign in.
I'm hoping both Sirius and Sling work on improving their apps for android tablets. Sling isn't bad but they should offer a higher resolution player like they do for the iPad. Having HDMI out and using Sling could be a killer app for for the A7.
I've got Yahoo messanger video call working great, just DL'd the messenger app from the market (using Dexters Mod), and then searched for the yahoo video plugin apk.
I also HAD an Archos A70 and had similar issues with the webcams being upside down, may be something in the froyo software.

I have had my Elocity A7 for 3 days now and only one conclusion, Android 2.2 and all of the software is junk. I have found that after the posted updates, more of the apps crash the system than work. The only tablet that I have seen stable with working apps is the Samsung Galaxy. Android will never gain marketshare with abundance of negative press from people like me.

Did you apply Dexter's ROM? I had the ViewSonic G Tablet prior to purchasing the A7 and nearly all the apps I tried worked fine. As for the A7 some work and some don't but for the money, I can't complain. Like it or not, Android is here to stay and will only continue to get bigger
Update to my post on page 1.
Works:
- Latest Skype now works with ElocityMod v1.1.
Not Work:
- Navigon Mobile Navigator won't run (FCs).
- Google Navigation dosen't work.
Even with an external BT GPS device that works with Google Maps it Says, "GPS is disabled". You click "ok" and it takes you to location & Security Settings, I assume to emable GPS, but there is no option to enable GPS as the A7 has no built in GPS. Note Google Navigation does work on my Viewsonic g tablet.
First I thought why people hate on this os, I can deal with it, I love stock android but I have also used miui in the past so color os should be fine, but thinking that was a big mistake.
It doesn't support basic android 9 pie features like swipping right to clear banner notifications, a screen on time chart (leave alone digital wellbeing), dark mode of atleast some sort (all flashy white colours, cannot even take the amoled's advantage) and many more. Even a redmi phone with android 6 or 7 with miui 10 has all android 9 features and here's color os lacking even at the basics.
And even its own features are incompliant. You can only create dual apps for select 2-3 apps, unlike in miui where you could clone any app. Also what is this thing with the call menu when you receive a call, its of 2 kinds, one in which you have to swipe up/down to take/end a call and other being you just have to click the call pick/end button. They need to show their customisation skills there, wow.
And though the phone supports L1 liscence and has a hdr capable display it still doesn't support hdr content on netflix or amazon prime. Their answer to that is an osie vision effect feature in settings>display>osie vision effect, which btw to use you have to also enable smart slidebar(in convinience aid) and then go the supported app>pull out smart slidebar and then enable osie effect. All this then only to see that it says 'not supported in current app'.
Now the main reason for my frustration being not able to download files when the phone is locked. I put anything on download, may it be a video in youtube app or a file in chrome or any download manager app, it downloads only till 1-2 mins after the phone is locked. I come after an hour or so and the download is stuck there. How can one not be frustrated then.
So conclusion is to hell with color os, just waiting for a stable custom rom(pixel experience rom for that matter).

Yeah I know few development for this os in the process. For sot I use actiondash. Substratum works mostly on stock android so no use trying them. And yes about the background downloading I tried locking the apps, turning off battery optimizations for them but didn't try turning off sleep mode, will do. Thanks.

Damn, I was thinking of buying this but didnt know the stock ROM was so bad, is it stable at least? snappy?

I guess so too. Because they don't have much time to deeply modify the OS.
I'm facing a weird issue on my Realme X. After updating an app on Play Store, I don't see "app updated" confirmation on notification panel. I need to open Play store to check if the app is updated or not. My play store version is 17.8.14. All other notification working like when an update is available, when I install a new app etc. Only I don't get notification confirmation after updating an existing app.

Clear data of play store & play services, reboot and let those update itself, then update your apps. Also check for if any specific notification is disabled for play store.

This doesn't help. I know all these workarounds and tried already. I have created a post on Google Community and it seems like most people are facing this bug starting from 17.8.14 update. And after 17.9.17 update, it's even worse. There is no notification from Play Store whatsoever (no notification when an update is available, when an update is completed, when a new app is installed successfully). Google has screwed the notification function on Play Store.
