So I upgraded to 2.2 (ka6) via kies mini, and after the upgrade my Avatar wont play! Nothing happens when I hit the Avatar icon. Using Video Player Avatar shows 00:00 (time) and when I press it it says: avatar.dcf locked. do you want to unlock it now? After pressing yes, nothing happens.

same,
I think they forgot about the avator already =]

Its not just avatar some previously downloaded ringtones from tmobile won't work either. I thought it might be different with the leaked KA7 but its not.

Guess Samsung should have taken another 6 months to get Avatar and the ringtones working.

I can confirm that my avatar and ring tones work correctly. Yes, I am on Ka7. Did you guys remove the sd card that contains avatar? What exactly does avatar say when you click on it?

This happened to me when I installed JI6, and I didn't really care. Today after the upgrade, Avatar started working again! Warning during the upgrade said that the DRM would be stripped, and I am guessing that is what happened.

If you are coming from 2.1 the mount point for the external SD card changed in 2.2. This might explain why the Avatar launcher does not work (it is looking in the wrong place for the movie). I have also heard of possible DRM issues.
This makes me wonder - does the Launcher for Sims 3 still work? You can not direct launch the game like you can the movie. Then again the game is stored on the internal SD, so it should not matter.

This just shows one more reason why DRM is dumb and pointless now this is more work for some one someware to do (samy software eng). I payed to see Avater I got the Blu Ray and if I want it on my phone I'll just go to the places on the interweb "They" complan about and "they" will say I'm stelling somthing. But the reason I go there is cuz of this kinda bs with drm files.
DRM=headache
But hay atlest you guys got you Froyo ;-) as for me and my not so Epic epic :-(

If Avatar is not working then download the 3 avatar files to the root of the sd card and then create a folder called "Movie"and drop the files in there. Do not name it anything else other than"Movie" or it will not work at all.

i also used kies and avatar IS working ....
seems like everithing is running smoothly for me

On too avatar extended version already. Rmvd short cut via titan back up. Looovin it.

Did all that, and still does not work! Avatar shows 00:00 -(running time) like it does not exists. Same Avatar file works perfect on me 2.0 Vibrant.

How did you get the avatar extended version on there? I cant even root the 2.2 ka7 version with z4, let alone use Titanium! Thinking of just going back to stock by Odin! ka6/Ka7 seems like more trouble than they are worth! Hard to root, and cant tether, plus lost Avatar - which my kids loved to watch!

Look to get avatar to work all you have to do is reset the data for the drm protected content. Go to applications in the setting and delete the drm data. Reset a couple times and it should work. I got this from the T-Mobile forums btw.

To get Avatar to work all you need to do is go into manage applications find drm protected content storage and clear the data. Reboot the phone a couple of times and it will work again.. That so far has worked for most people

No Tuch Wiz 4 - 2.3.3 update coming next month

i had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that there is no tuchwiz 4 for galaxy s and update is expected in april ( In europe)
Same funcations as I9000XWJV1 with bug fix

Damn, again a "had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that" thread. Again a waste of time ;s

Well i believe we will get 2.3 final when there ready and not a moment before
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

too bad, would really love touch wizz 4.0
i don't like the icons in touchwizz 3.0, they are to big

as tw 4 is the only real benefit of the s2 i 'd really wonder if samsung was so stupid to give it to the galaxy s users.
i'd probably fire the responsible manager as sammy marketing chief if that actually happens as user i hope for tw4 of course, cant be worse than tw3 or cm as it is atm.

I would like to try TouchWiz 4. The YouTube videos of the SGS2 seems to be very nice. TouchWiz 3 was great, but has some problems, like the homescreen is left and not in the middle.

We wont get tw4 as we are only single prossesor and that will be reason and all these mates at samsung stories starting to get boaring only fact is beta out and final will be realesed when they decide to .be content with what we have amd thats the number 1 mobile on planet that initself should suffice but we want gingerbread are we ever going to be satisfied i dout it

That's a fact. However, I'm sure TW4 will be ported by someone someday. Hopefully.

For that you could try gtg465x's modded touchwiz 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523. It has middle homescreen, adds alphabetical order of app drawer and a nice 5 columns fixed apps on the bottom. You only need a rooted device and works on stock ROMs

Are people realy taking this kinda post seriously?

Can we have an "Anti-Thanks" or "Kick" button, please?

Well i do also know around 100 people at the nordic samsung support and they have no clue when 2.3 will be out but as they say seeing that 2.2.1 did just get released again i wont expect it before the nexus s are on 2.4 lool... or like this... around summer time.

WHAT THE... hell! And what about far superior hardware? Does this not count at all?

bah..tw3 or 4 are slowly and heavy ,,realy i prefer cyanogenmod..

I hear that the 2.3 will come out before Milestone 2.2.
p.s. I just a angry mob just switch from MS to I9000

Still no Gingerbread/beard so I guess we'll just have to wait until end of March/beginning of April which is just around the corner. =)

A guy at work told me that his cousin's wife works at Samsung somwhere. She said that 2.3 will in fact have touchwiz 5.

Flash 10.2 update is out!!!

Hello Xoomers! I just noticed an update for Adobe Flash player 10.2! The marketplace states that the update takes advantage of multi-core processors and includes other performance improvements. Checking it out now.

I think it's been out for weeks now

you should be able to run anything in flash now i.e. facebook games and other things like that

that was "beta".

I did a clean install after flashing my Xoom last night. I installed Flash 10.2.157.10 then and just now I got a notice that Flash 10.2.157.51 is out.
So its a new update...

a lot of mention of "Android 3" in the update description. I guess they mean Honeycomb 3.0

I just got my Xoom today, Android market report the Flash as 10.2.156.12.
Hopefully this will change soon. Im located in the UK.
The update does show up on my Galaxy Tab running 2.2
Update:
the newer version is now available for the XOOM. but flash in Opera mobile browser don't work any more.

Android 3 = Honeycomb 3.0. What's wrong with calling it Android 3? We call all other phones with Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 etc.. We're on 3 right now lol.

I'm only seeing the beta app for honeycomb. Not anything new.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Definitely a difference. Amazon Prime videos weren't working before and are working now. Some Flash games had updated recently and broken and are working now and with better performance.

Great, I can download 10.2.157 on my thunderbolt, but it doesn't show up on my xoom

well the best features from this update
wont be available until google updates honeycomb apparently.

people whose update isn't showing up..
restart your xoom, then immediately go to the market
then hit my apps and your update should show up in the left

i got the update today,it says the hardware accelerated flash was for 3.1 only, but it runs flash way smoother now then before, also flash doesnt drain the battery as much as it did before

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up OP!

this updated a big improvment if you let your gf play fb games on the xoom
all the popular fb games work perfectly now

Yep. Hate to get all pedantic but it's either Android 3/3.0 OR Honeycomb. The number is a version of Android OS, Honeycomb is just the codename for it.

plus our software is listed as 3.0.1
so maybe it was a typo by them saying 3.0.1 lol
if motorola updates the xoom software, i wonder if the google version will even change

I hope someone patches this new version quickly with the hulu fix!

Android Market 3.1.3 on Wildfire---When disaster strikes :=)

Hello Everybody,
today my Android Market on Cm7.1 has updated and now im running Market Version 3.1.3 and i have to say....what a disaster. Its laggy and slow....it takes so much time to load all the little app-icons and when you try to get back from your "my apps" dialog to the starting screen.....it takes years.
Maybe this Market isn't the right one for the wildfire...anyone experienced the same???
Is it possible get the old market back? Or do you have any other solution for this?

Have you tried pressing menu/settings/applications/manage applications find the market and then click uninstall updates, that works for me but this new update runs perfect for me so I'm keeping it.
There is a different way if uninstalling the update doesn't work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231358
EDIT: It did run perfect for me when i was on DK Custom Rom {2.2.1 sense} However i just switched to cm7 nightly and it lagged real bad so i had to switch back to the old version no problem for me though i like performance now more than cosmetics.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App

Yeah the market is running flawlessly for me too...
I don't understand why does it take years with you to lead! Weird :/

Hmm, when it isn't slow for you, maybe its temporariy because of the present distribution of the update?
For example, when im in an App-Menue (i mean i have clicked on one specific app in some of the lists) and then click on the go back arrow at the upper left with the market-icon nearby... it takes about 8-10 seconds to get back to the main-menue...isn't that too long??

Mine is snappy, only the animations lag a bit, but images appear in maximum 2 seconds.
I don`t know why people complain about this new market, it`s not as bad as most people say it is.

New Market runs perfectly on my defy and my friend's wildfire....

Laggy,slow,takes more data, i never loved the new market, switched to my old descent market,,
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

same as me.. before installed new market then it laggs at times and slow to open. reverted back to previous market..

The market update came to my phone as well a couple of days ago and it ran smooth for the most part.
I ended up uninstalling the update though because of the additional 12 Mb of data added, and a bit of lag plus I prefer the 2.3.6 one.

I've tried this on my HTC Sensation and HTC HD2 but it's just too slow to be usable. Does anyone have a solution or at least an explanation?

ive tried this too with an htc sensation and yeah its somehow slow there too.
@az5k
as told before in this thread, the best solution is to deinstall the update of the market in your app-management-menue, the old market is lovely compared to the new one for me.

On my old wildfire on cm7.1 it was laggy but usable. On sensation its brilliantly fast

thank for the support !!!

Fix the market, without a PC.
There is a simple solution for this.
1) Download an app from the market called "App Quarantine"
2) Find the Market in your "All Apps" (Settings>>Manage Applications>>All>>Market)
3) Click to uninstall the updates
4) Open App Quarantine, and go to the third tab along the top. Uncheck the box that says "Hide system services"
5) Go to the first tab, find "Market Updater", check the box next to it, press menu and hit lock apps!
There, you still have the files for later and it wont update anymore...
And, it isn't just CM7 with the issue. SenseOnFire ROM has the same problem. Unless it is a kernel issue? Not sure...
By the way. App Quarantine is free.
Just sayin'

Wow. Yet another d-bag move from sprint/HTC

After installing the latest OTA, (I'm 100% stock no root, don't hate,) i had to go back into the ##3282# menu and zero out the proxy values. No problem, I've been used to having to redo this after updates/rom flashes ever since my EvoOG. However, this time around, as soon as i did the mod, my Youtube videos stopped loading! I would IMMEDIATELY get a server error and tap to retry message. I went and restored the stock proxy values, and sure enough, the videos now work like a charm every time. Thanks Sprint/HTC, if you spent as much time getting us Jellybean as you do making our lives difficult, maybe your inboxes wouldnt be flooded with complaints =] i wish you and your devs uncontrollable diarrhea while stuck in traffic tonight.
