i had the same problem today, you can still write sms to your friends via contacts, then then the person and then write sms.

Btw there was an update today, perhaps it'll fix it, i am just downloading it right now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin654:
Okay, Well I never had this problem until I tried flashing one of the Z roms, Which had some Apps2SD partition problem which was fixed about 3 hours later. I tried flashing it, Got stuck in a boot loop, Restored an old backup and ever since then I get this error. I tried formatiing MULTIPLE times, I've tried some SD card formatter program, No luck. I have NO problems reading/writing to/from the SD card, Phone is fine with it aswell. If I unmount the card through the settings, Then remount, The error goes away. It's annoying. And something must be wrong. Any clues?

If it helps at all, It was this rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983182
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithos der Held:
Sounds like it could be an issue with the rom since the message is going away. Maybe try flashing a new rom or an even older backup?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin654:
That's the thing, I've moved on to new roms since then, and its still happening. Only time it goes away is when I unmount and remount. No idea what's going on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin654:
Alright, I found a solution. I flashed uber z, and took out the SD card. And what I read said wipe internal phone memory. So I did and no more error! Yay me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Hello,

I read most of the guide but couldn't find certain answers there nor by search, but apologies if I missed them elsewhere.

1) I'm happy with my SGS, I always used stock ROMs and am now on 2.2.1. I'd like to get root access and leave the rest as it is, however.

Is there any way to get root access with the stock 2.2.1 ROM without switching to a completely different ROM (as said, I like the stock ROM and don't feel like changing the layout, features and all that come with a new ROM)?

I saw that superoneclick thread but apparently it didn't work for everyone and questions are usually not answered there if people run into trouble so I didn't dare that yet.

2) Still a bit confused about the 2 modes. Do I need recovery mode to work? Or will download mode do to flash (if I have to) and rescue/fix my phone if something goes wrong?

My 3 combo button never worked so I bought a JIG dongle on ebay which gets my phone into download mode at least, but I still have no recovery mode yet that's why I'm asking.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazieye:
There's an app called Quick Boot which will allow you to get into recovery mode but you need to have phone rooted.

Note though that Froyo uses 3e and I've tried to use update zips, wont take without going down to 2e recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Warning etc I take no resposibility if you break something etc :)

First of all fix your 3 button for recovery, there should be some guides around here.

1. Try that superoneclick you posted the link to. If it wont work it wont work... But it will.

2. Recovery you need only if you want to tinker with the rom a little more and to do nice stuffs like backup. Or for a recovery :)

Oh and I am on stock rom + custom kernel + another modem and happy with it.

First I was rooted and the rest was as it is :) and I rooted with the super one click root :) . Dont forget USB debugging on. Once you root though I think wont be long till you start customizing a little :D . Good start is a nice good custom kernel :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamalsid:
If you want to stick with stock you could try these stock roms which come pre-rooted, zip-aligned and deodexed (making them smoother and allowing the application of themes).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948790

To fix the three button combo have a read of this thread. The OP of this one is really helpful if you're not sure what to do. I had to do this and it was the most nerve racking thing i've done to my phone as if this screws up you'll be sending it for repair.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Thanks a lot to all of you for your answers!

Had my first successful flash today (3 button combo mode) and will now take a more in depth look at rooting etc. :)

So far, I feel more comfortable to try a rooted stock kernel maybe instead of superoneclick.

However, if I had to unroot for any reason, how can I do that if I flashed the kernel?

The way I understood about ROMs and Kernels is that ROMs already contain kernels. So flashing a stock ROM would get me back to a stock kernel and the phone would be unrooted again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
you can also just flash a kernel and root such as cfroot or speedmod..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamalsid:
To un-root you can just flash a stock ROM (look in the general section to find them).

If you like stock ROMS then like the person above stated you can just flash a pure stock ROM then flash a new kernel (i.e. speedmod, voodoo etc.).

Good to hear the 3-button flash worked for you, now it is very difficult to brick your phone as you should always have the 3-button download mode which enables flashing with Odin.

Just be careful when picking a stock ROM, especially if its new, to check if it includes a new bootloader!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Thanks all again! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
and good on you for being sensible enough to get a jig.....best fiver I spent in ages. Every time I flashed back to an early stock it trashed my bootloader.

no worries about flashing now
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluephantom3:
Mate if you just want a simple to apply root access I would just use Z4root... its not used so much anymore but it works well and can be installed by just installing the app(can't be obtained from android market, internet only)..

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

otherwise you can just use Odin to flash CF-Root ( I do this all the time on stock firmware and works perfectly every time).

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Exactly my thought. :D

I used z4root on 2.2 but afaik z4root no longer works with 2.2.1.

I did flash the CF Kernel now and quite happy with it so far. :D

By the way, is it a bad idea trying to flash with Odin if the phone is connected via a USB hub instead of connecting it to the direct usb port? Each flashing failed on the 1st attempt (worked on the 2nd), no matter what I flashed so far. Some searching here indicates a hub is not recommended.

If that's the case, why is that not mentioned in all those read-me-first guides (or maybe I missed it somewhere)? :( Not every first-flash user will have a JIG at hand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamalsid:
You're right you should have the USB cable plugged into a USB port on the motherboard (not a port in your pc case or a hub) for the least chance of flash failure.

Not sure why though tbh, I think it may have something to do with the Samsung USB drivers that get installed with Kies being a bit flaky.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Anyone that wants a quick browser should check out the new Opera Mobile.

It runs absolutely fantastic on the Epic, it now supports flash and a lot more HTML5 than the previous version.

A few tests/benchmarks (using Syndicate @ 1.2ghz, desktop is a Core 2 Quad@3.2ghz):

- Opera: 234

Opera may not have better scores in all tests, but it "feels" much smoother with less lag (especially when scrolling/zooming).

One of the major enhancements with Opera compared to other browsers (other than Firefox) is how it displays images.. It shows animations in gifs and will show the full size image for nearly any size image with no compression (i tried 12mp photos with no problems) all other browsers I tried other than Firefox (which was slow in comparison) would show a low res preview even if you zoom in.

It is about time someone released a proper browser for Android that feels nice and smooth while scrolling on nearly any site, and that supports most of the web standards. :)
[Epic 4G General] jakmai:

[Epic 4G General] jakmai:
I can say, this thing feels good! Like the iPhone browser, the graphics is very GPU accelerated! hehe i know that phrase been used a lot lately, but now we have it! :p

Does this new Opera support Flash Player? I tried watching shows online and they wouldn't load with Opera 10.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Yes, as I mentioned in the original post.

However, text and interacting with Flash seems to be a bit broken.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Sorry, I'm tired, didn't notice it.

I'll give it a go because Opera was by far the fastest mobile browser when I had it. Since it supports flash, no reason to say no now. :)

Dang its fast! The only thing that bothers me is it continues to load even after the page clearly is showing everything. But that doesn't slow it down! I'm having way better results than Dolphin HD!

I'm on wi-fi at home, and Opera is much slower than any of my other browsers (firefox, dolphin, and stock). And I'm loading a generic web page, nothing fancy. www.drudgereport.com - maybe it performs better than the others on 3g?

So far Dolphin has been my favorite browser, but I have issues with it not text wrapping when I zoom in. Opera does have very good zoom. Not to mention perfect options in the settings menu.

Thanks for the heads up on this browser, I will give it a legit shot. I have been looking for a single winning browser for me so I can clear all the others off my phone.

[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
Yes, Opera Mobile 11 is pretty darn good.

Beware that there's an issue with fonts on (Froyo) Epics whereby Opera isn't able to use the sans serif font, which most websites use, and instead falls back to a serif font.

Details are here, but the fix is to either move /system/fonts/DroidSans_Subset.ttf to /system/fonts.no, or just remove it entirely. That particular font is neither useful nor necessary, and for some inexplicable reason comes with only some Galaxy S stock ROMs.

[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
While I agree that xScope has some nice features (I especially like the Pure Black theme) and does seem to load more complicated sites faster, the scrolling and zooming is no where near Opera.

Try any site with flash playing on xScope and then try Opera while doing the same thing. Even try the Epic 4G General category on both, and you will see that Opera is much smoother.

Hopefully they work out the issues with some larger sites with a lot of images.

It means that if you use non of your rom space, in essence you have space for up to 5gb of ram, instead of 1. But as you download more and more apps, and the rom size diminishes, so does the 5gbs. It will always have 1gb, but can have up to 5gbs.

I would get the iMac over the iPad but I'd get a MacBook Pro over the iMac. I just got a MBP, it's my first Mac and it's pretty frickin' amazing. I will never buy a Windows machine again. The Xoom can't hold a candle to the iPad 2 and a hackintosh won't be as nice as owning the real thing.
