[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 90180360:
Hello everyone. Just picked up a second-hand SGS - best phone I ever had!

Anyway, so far I'm still on stock 2.2.1. What I'm looking for is a ROM that supports both TV-Out (3.5mm to RCA) and the Wiimote / Classic Controller / Datel Wireless Retro Controller.

Together, they'd make the SGS the perfect retro gaming console.

I know CM7 supports the Wiimote, but not TV-Out. I know most other ROMs support TV-Out, but not the Wiimote.

So is there any possibility to have both yet?

If not, would it be hard to do?

Maybe copy the Bluetooth implementation over from the Nexus?

Or any chance that the TV-Out will work on CM7?

I hope those are legitimate questions. Looking forward to your input.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flexoduss:
I did a lot of searching on the web and cm7 is the only way i know off.

I would kill for tv output and wiimote support both in a rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iajanus:
Does anyone know if Darky's ROM (preferably the newest one) would rectify the problem with the BT that stops Wiimotes from working?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flexoduss:
any progress?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malomity:
I've not tested it, but I think the tv-out is working on cm7, maybe not completely nor perfectly but you should look for more informations in the CM7 Q&A thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbusch:
I follow the CM7 development forum closely (as well as using the ROM). TV-OUT is not yet implemented.

I *suspect* that it is being worked on but there are no ETA's.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malomity:
Well I follow the CM7 development forum closely too, and I think I've read some time ago that the tv-out was working, but there is no settings yet (like there is nothing in the menus about it).

But maybe my memory is not as good as it used to be, as I can't find the post in the thread. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mothatt:
All roms sans CM7, MIUI (based on CM7) and the sense port use samsungs bluetooth stack, which is incompatible with the wiimote. Yes, this includes your beloved Darky ROM. CM7 has basic TV-out support but it isn't fully supported yet. Your best bet is to wait it out for CM7 to support it. I can't wait for wiimote + TV-Out either xD
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malomity:
That's what I thought but I couldn't find the source of the info anymore. Maybe you can help me to find where I've read that ?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caniwi:
Hi all. After the 2.3.3 (build GRI40) update but not immediately after (a few days later), my Nexus One keeps restarting in a loop of about 5-6 seconds. Once it crashes, it goes the the 'X' splash screen for about 7 seconds, then to the home screen for 5-6 seconds and repeats indefinitely.

I have managed to work out that it is directly related to the wifi. When I do a hard reset and don't turn wifi on, then it works fine without crashing, including mobile network connection. However, as soon as the wifi is tuned on, it goes into the restart loop. I've tried many factory resets and it is reproducible whenever wifi is on.

Does it sound like a hardware or software problem? Anyone else experienced similar? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] haksam:
After reading up on many many posts on different battery life reports and different setups, I decided to play around with my HD 2 again and tried a different approach. You see, in common real world situations, a phone in GSM mode always, always save more battery than in 3G during standby. So all this while when my phone is on pure GSM the battery lasts only 10 hours even on standby, I decided to go against all laws and switch on 3G even though my spare SIM has no data plan...

so as of now after more than 12 hours on standby, the battery bar is still full... I am quite amazed/shocked that the battery eating bug is really caused by GSM mode, here is my setup,

3G on (reception is 3 bars, this is true 3G reception in my area, not roaming)

Data on (but sim has no data plan)

Phone on standby so display is hardly on

Phone is stationary and will not be moving around for my tests

I will report again after 48 hours of stationary tests

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermayhm:
I did a pretty thorough search and wasnt able to come up with anything.

I have been having problems with my GPS actually working since the CM7 releases...is this happening to anyone else?

I never get an very close/accurate location in google maps and navigation never works because it gets stuck saying that it is searching for GPS signal...

anyone have any pointers or advise/

thanks in advance..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you didn't see all of the talk about GPS issues/fixes all over the forum, then you didn't do a very thorough search.

Look at the official CM7 thread for the fix. It's in the second post.

EDIT: Here are the exact directions.

1 - Backup CM7 & flash a Sense ROM.

2 - Go to the Market and download the app: MSL Reader

3 - Use this app to get your MSL #

4 - Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX# (##4772579#)

5 - Enter the MSL Number from above

6 - Your phone will automatically reboot in 10 seconds

7 - After you're rebooted back into the Sense rom open maps/navigation and get a lock on your gps. Leave it for a few minutes and make sure it fully locks.

8 - Restore from your nandroid backup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Use Nightly 29 (latest). GPS issues are supposed to be all fixed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christovski:
Not exactly.

I had GPS working last night, but this morning my nightly (16) suddenly had it stop working and I couldn't get it back after trying a reboot, Wifi aided fix, or even flashing to the newest (29).

Had to use the Sense ##GPSCLRX# hack to get it back.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaKillaCJ:
Im usin CM7 RC2 and wanna kno if I can use the 512 MBs of Ext4 and/or 256 mb Swap from my SDCard. It was already formatted that way because of my old phone (Moto Cliq 2.1 Android).

Im not sure but it looks like the A2SD feature thats being used is sendin the apps on my Fat32.

Does the default CM7 kernel allow this. Really tho im usin pershoot latest kernel.

What im askin basicly, is it as simple as runnin a script or commands in terminal/adb?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
The one you're currently using that's putting apps on the FAT partition is Froyo a2sd. You need Darktremor's a2ext (a2sd). It's in the development thread. Yes, the current format you have will still work but make sure you wipe them first. Also, 256MB is a bit big for this phone, I'd use 64MB and you really won't even need that. You're best bet would be to use compcache with the G2 - I believed cyanogen still retains the fix he put in with the G1 to speed up compcache and actually make it faster than linux swap. Don't quote me on that though.
[Vibrant General] niik000:
Hay, my name's Nick, been reading the posts for a while, decided to join. Iv'e been wanting to root my T-mobile vibrant so i can get a more streamlined ROM will less features to make the ones i use go smoother and faster and get the full potential out of the device. I rooted it no problem with one click root, installed clockwork rom manager, and titanium backup, installed clockwork recovery (i love the clockwork orange icons by the way) put the latest "insanity 0.6.7.zip" in the root of the internal SD, and hit the "install rom" option on the rom manager and selected the .zip, and it made my phone go into the standard recovery mode, no option to install any .zip files. So i opened the rom manager and manually put it into CWM recovery so i could manually install the rom. It looked like it was going to work, but then it sent my phone back to the recovery screen with white text that said "install update.zip" so i did what it said, and it sent my phone into a boot loop. I can get into recovery mode, but when ever i try to recover my backup or access any files it says "no files found, operation canceled" or something like that. It also fails to mount via USB. I can get it to go to download mode but have not tried odin yet, because im on a mac (working on getting bootcamp working now to run windows)

Odin seems like my only option now right? anyone have any idea ware I went wrong? it must have been the incorrect update.zip file right?
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
I dont think u flashed a vibrant rom

Just mount your internal sd from clockwork and copy over a vibrant rom, and flash
[Vibrant General] niik000:
have any idea why it wont let me mount my sd card? that makes me worried it wont connect to a Pc in download mode but i haven't had the opportunity to try that yet.
[Vibrant General] jRi0T68:
I'd download your rom of choice, there are a ton that are perfect fit first timers. Trigger and Bionix-V seem very stable. Pop your external sd into your computer, copy the .zip for the rom, go into recovery, select install from zip and flash your rom.

Odin is last resort. I'm not familiar with insanity, but maybe it was a bad download?
[Vibrant General] niik000:
when it booted up it went to my normal "vibrant" screen, then to an unfamiliar "galaxy s 19000" screen. Im assuming there is a difference between galaxy s and vibrant right?
[Vibrant General] niik000:
tried that, when i try to to install zip from sdcard it says "no files found"

i assume it's looking for files on the internal and not the external right? so i tried mounting the external sd card from the mounts and storage menu, and i got an error message that said "E:INFO is WRONError mounting SDEXT !"
[Vibrant General] jRi0T68:
In recovery, do you see any folders when you click install from zip, or is that when you get an error message?

If you see folders, can you navigate to external_sd?
[Vibrant General] niik000:
i click "install zip from SD" and it brings me to a menu with the options to apply sdcard.update.zip or choose zip from sd card, and when try ether one of those options it says "No Files Found"

I have a rom in a zip on the root of my external now, just cant get to it.

Too bad i cant help trying to fix things that aren't broken
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
not your external sd, zip should be on your internal sd

since you can get into recovery you can try using adb to push the zip from your computer to the phone

install android sdk and drivers for vibrant then using command prompt navigate to the following directory in the android-sdk folder

\platform-tools\

then execute the following command again in cmd prompt

adb push <dir for zip> /sdcard

if that doesnt work then odin will be your only choice and you must be in download mode to do that
[Vibrant General] amandadam:
If you can access xda from your phone,download a vibrant rom from there.

Once it's downloaded,it will be in the root of your internal sd,under download.You can then flash it in cwm,or when the download is complete,click on it and choose Rom Manager to open it,and you can flash it from there.

Here's a link to Bionix 1.3.1,on xda.

[Vibrant General] niik000:
do i need an update.zip? or just the bionix-v-1.3.1.zip? or am i supposed to rename the bionix zip to update.zip?
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
Never rename rom zips to update.zip leave it at bionix.zip and flash through clockwork mod recovery.

now i cant figure out how to get any of the ADB commands to work, i have ADB running and it put a list of commands in he terminal but when i try any of those commands it says "command not found"

i tried

"adb devices" (c-bash: adb: command not found)

"./adb devices" (directory not found)

and "devices" (-bash: devices: command not found

)

am i doing something wrong?
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
first you have to be in the android sdk directory and second you must run the sdk manager process and download the rest of the sdk, the bit that you download from the website does not include the full android sdk, you will also need to have java runtime environment 5 or later installed on your pc.

also if you are running adb in linux you need to sudo or su adb commands

in linux you will need to restart the adb daemon

su

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb devices

hope this helps
[Vibrant General] niik000:
i ran the SDK and AVd manager and installed the rest of the SDK packages, then found the ADB file and drug it into the terminal, that gave me the list of commands. I plugged in the phone and tried "adb devices" and it said "command not found" tried quitting and restarting terminal a few times and still nothing
[Vibrant General] niik000:
when i enter "su" it asks for a password, but it will not let me type anything. Iv'e never really worked with commands like this but im interested in learning, thats kind of why i decided to mess with the phone
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
thats a security feature within linux it wont show what you are typing but rest assured its registering keystrokes, and you dont drag and drop to terminal

assuming the androidsdk is in your home directory you would type

cd /home/username/android-sdk/platform-tools

then ./adb devices (this is just a check to make sure your phone is being recognized)
[Vibrant General] niik000:
i type

/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools

and it tells me

/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools: is a directory

then i type ./adb devices

and it says

-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory

im getting really confused, it seems like im making a really simple mistake i just cant figure out what im doing wrong
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
ok so you are doing this from mac then? i apologize as i have no experience messing with android using a mac, id imagine itd be much like linux although terminal commands may be different. If i were you id google using adb commands in mac os and see what you can find, personally i use windows normally and am only just learning how to work linux
[Vibrant General] niik000:
figured it out! i was just missing "cd" from the beginning of the directory. about to try pushing the file
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
glad to hear ya figured it out, good luck hopefully this works for you
[Vibrant General] niik000:
tried to push the file and got this:

failed to copy '/Users/<my username>Desktop/bionix-v-1.3.1.zip' to '/sdcard': Is a directory

im starting to think there could be something wrong with the internal SD card?
[Vibrant General] niik000:
think it would be a bad idea to format the Sd card? or would that make me loose clockwork recovery?
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
If you can boot the phone then yea I would do it then try downloading a rom online to your internal sd then reboot to recovery and flash I assumed you weren't able to boot the phone, honestly the easiest way I know how is heimdall or odin I have no experience with heimdall, but if you can find a windows computer then odin is your best shot

Okay first of all, let me start by saying this is my first post and I AM a noob, so be patient.

Okay, my problem is that I can't root my Sprint Samsung Intercept. I've tried SuperOneClick, Z4Root, Universal Androot, and some other one. NOTHING has worked. The SuperOneClick somewhat worked, it installed SuperUser but when I downloaded apps that require a root, they said my device isn't rooted.

I'm with Sprint and running 2.2.1.

Pease help because this is driving me crazy!!
[Intercept General] boredcharles:
i dont know how this stuff works either but my brother has that phone. it could be your usb isn't reading. or rather, your computer isn't recognizing the device. google samsung intercept usb and you'll see a lot of issues. this may not be your problem but its better to tell you just in case. so far for his cell phone, because he wants to tether it to his computer, so far nothing works. not downloading the right drivers. loading without debugging. mounting the sd card. thats one big solution that hasn't worked. i have high hopes for this other fix, to load samsung pc studio. New_PC_Studio_1.4.0.IL2_4.exe is the file. you can google and find it.

this site has some info. if it works and i remember to, ill repost and let you know.

hope this helps. if not then good luck. and heck if anyone else knows why exactly it does this and a real fix other than the whole disable usb debugger issue. then let me know. i even thought about trying to load the sdk for android to see if that would create some sort of connection with the phone and computer. thanks and take care

I did everything the videos and forums said to do. When I did that I got a different kernal but I couldn't get any service, my phone would restart every 2-5 minutes, and it would randomly vibrate.

I heard on the news tonight that AT&T said that the T-Mobile users would have to get new phones to be able to use the 3G. Yes report said 3G.
