ok i have access to 3 galaxy s phones and my jig isnt working on any of them,so im asuming there is something wrong with the jig.

i have got 3 100ohm resistors wired together and i have soldered them to the far right pin on the front of the usb and on to pin 5 on the back of the usb,is this wrong?

Hi guys,

I've just installed Darky's 9.5 Extreme (Dark core kernel, no lag fix). I have some question (if you have time and you are in the mood to answer maybe silly questions :D ):

- the phone doesn't seem to be faster than with 2.2.1 (JPY) previously installed. I have 170+ apps installed

- I've installed the ROM using CWM. As I understood initially it wiped all existing system data, except for installed applications.

- the phone lags sometime. Shouldn't this be the fastest rom ever? :D

- when I have the browser open and browse 10 minutes the home launcher restarts (Zeam, Xperia Arc, GO Launcher EX, TWLauncher).

- I cannot select text anymore in the browser

- the touchscreen responsiveness seems to be degraded. And mostly it impacts the browser.

Should I do something more to get a smoother experience? Your answers will be much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actuary:
I installed the v9.5 and according to me it is no where near as stable or as smooth as the v8.0...

I went back to 8.0 in half a day..

I would suggest you try that too if you don't have the need to be on the latest rom..

About the issues you pointed out I can add to that lost of bugs and issues but it is what it is..

It's not the device but the rom..

Have only ever flashed darky's rom so all I can say is v8.0 is the best for stable no nonsense usage..

If there is anything specific you would like to ask please do so..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludovicianul:
If I wan't to make a clean install of 9.5 what should I do? Go into Darky's Rom Configurator and select Wipe the device? Is this enough? And after that reapply the ROM using CWM?

What i was trying to put across was that for some reason the majority of problems on this forum are headed Darky rom lesson in itself i would have thought .

Nothing against the guy but help for his users does not seem to exist within his own pages .

Why so many post with problems i dont know but their is a user choice try another developers rom .

Hello

I want to downgrade my LG Optimus One P500 ver. 2.2.1 to ver. 2.2 using the KDZ_FW_UPD and V10A_00.kdz

But when I open the software, I see this error:

"The program can't start because LGMobileDL.dll is missing from your computer"

There is a DLL file included with the software named "EnablerDLL.dll"

I copied this file to C:\Windows and renamed it to LGMobile.dll

Now when I open the software, I get this error:

"The procedure entry point_A123 could not be located in the dynamic link libraray LGMobileDL.dll"

I tried it on different computers. Still not working

Can anyone please help?

Thank you

2g/3g bar widget freeze the radio generating fc's, and battery status never goes to 100%.

Anyone has the same problems in nexus s?
[Nexus S General] legojj:
I couldn't go to 100% since RC2..2g/3g bar widget seems to work ok for me...
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
battery % is a safety issue so your battery doesn't over charge and explode. If you insist on having a 100% charge, when it says charged but is only at 95% (or more commonly 97%) unplug the phone and plug it back in and google trickle charging to get a good idea of why this happens. 2g/3g toggle has been an issue for lots of people since early on but most are reporting that it is working fine for them now. May be time for a good total wipe and fresh install. I found that not using titanium backup for my apps has improved the performance of my phone pretty signifigantly. Just be sure to backup all your saved game data and reinstall all your apps the old fashioned way.
[Nexus S General] glmrckr:
You're sort of right about the charging issue, technically the phone STOPS charging at a certain percentage. The issue with trickle charging is that it doesn't stop charging. The issue is that the phone should charge to 100% then stop and start up again (for example on the Evo it drops down to 90% before kicking back in) however the Nexus S after 2.3.3 charges only to 97-ish%. This is not how it is supposed to happen though I've not seen anyone who was adequately able to explain why it was screwed up in the newest update.
[Nexus S General] flaviowbr:
Is possible than i have % or charger discalibrated? If yes, have any solution to recalibrate it?

I will try make a new fresh install to solve the 2g/3g widget bar error.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
I have noticed unlimited reboots with RC4. :( Back to RC2
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
I have always experienced 97% charge even fresh out of the box and have read many reports of others with the same experience.

Only thing I can think is to let your phone charge all the way down till it shuts off and then charge it back to full while turned off. This has helped me in the past.

Have you tried a fresh install after a total wipe? I am getting GREAT performance and stability out of RC4.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
I think I'm gonna try that tonight, worth a shot. I'm just gonna 'wipe data and cache' like CWM asks. Just reinstalling all the apps is a *****.
[Nexus S General] glmrckr:
That's what I use Titanium Backup for! It makes all that stuff so easy :)
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
I have TB, never really figured out how to use it... How do you make a backup? haha noob q I know..
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
I recommend only backing up user apps + data, as backing up system data sometimes will give you problems. Once in TB click you setting menu and sellect batch. Now click the option that says backup user apps +data and confirm. Now when you wipe your data in CWM and do a fresh install just install TB from the market and use the same batch menu but instead of backing up user apps + data use the restore user apps + data option.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
So check this out: Titanium Backup was giving me trouble. Maybe six or seven apps into the backup, it would freeze, and then reboot (RC2, RC3, AND RC4). After a few reboots, the phone turned back on and said that the SD Card was unreadable and that it had errors, I rebooted it with a few swift battery pulls and all is good. In closing: I successfully backed everything up.

Now, I still kept getting reboots on RC2, 3, and 4. I could not think of why, and then it dawned on me, that it's probably the kernel I installed for BLN and 1.4GHz overclock. I installed h14-blnV4-vs6-cm7.zip.... Could this be the reason I am getting reboots? Because in SetCPU I changed it from 1400MHz to 1000MHz ondemand and I haven't yet come across a reboot. So, it could be the kernel and not CM7, RIGHT??

And if that's the case, is there a better kernel out there? or should I just be careful when overclocking?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] Bajo76:
Same problem here, it totaly kills the radio. Reboot doesnt help only reflash helps.

Tested on fresh install (wiped everything before) without custom kernel, even without any app installed.

[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Normally you would bump charge by having your phone off, charging, etc. Well with the CWM bug that some of us have you simply cant. You dont get the LED light when the phone is off due to the fact that it boots into CWM. Well I found a way that seems to work.

Plug your phone in while its on, charge to full. Have your HTC battery widget up and running also because this will show you the voltage of the battery. Once you hit 100% simply reboot. You will notice your battery will be significantly lower than 100% (mine was dropping to 93%). Charge to full again and repeat. Do this until you see your reboot number at 99% or so after your phone fully loads. You will also notice your voltage of your battery is up by around 200 points....

After you do this open your mobile terminal and get root permission by typing "su" enter (without quotes). Navigate to /data/system/ and type "rm batterystats.bin". Enjoy :)

Hope this helps :)
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I read about this somewhere else, but its good to have this available as a post for people who want to get a good extra hour or more out of their phone.
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
I wonder how often this will need to be done?
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Generally whenever you switch roms.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
BTW after doing this, I only lose about 2% power per hour idle. Before id lose close to 10% easily. The reason for this is because your OS isnt calibrated correctly so it misreads the actual power level.
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
Thank you thats makes sense, I thought I was doing something wrong because ever since I rooted I started having this problem....
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
I remember my battery would drop to 93% on my phone when i rebooted it like this. I just tried it and it dropped to 99%. this must mean i have a good battery :) thanks for this tip now i dont have to have my phone off to bump charge and miss messages and such
[Thunderbolt General] Aerogriff:
Good info. I'm gonna try this as soon as I get my phone charged all the way.
[Thunderbolt General] Aerogriff:
When I type in /data/system it tells me permission denied. Any idea why?
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
Thanks for the info!! I have been trying to squeeze every bit of life I can out of my battery. Cant wait to get home to try this out now.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
In terminal type "su" ... if you arent getting a # as your prompt you arent rooted or failed to give your terminal root permissions when the prompt came up on your screen.

From there you would type this:

cd /data/system/

rm batterystats.bin
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Would it be possible to just gscript the whole command into one script? No having to type out the whole command.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
I guess but why? Its literally 5 seconds of typing and you can do it through ADB or a terminal app, and you only do it once after all the bumping.
[Thunderbolt General] coder_t2:
I don't know if other people tried this. But when I would shut down my phone, and it would go into CWM when it got plugged in. I would unplug it. Boot it up. Shut down again, and give it a few extra seconds to make sure it was completely shut off. Then plug in. And it would charge fine.
[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
Thanks for posting, I was cooking up a similar method in my head, but would have skipped the power off/reboot part.

Is the deletion of batterystats.bin really necessary? I know that it's thrown around all over the web about how it helps battery life, but I've never seen anyone post a definitive guide to what this file is for. I'm not sure how to open it for myself in a human readable-format, but with a text editor, it looks like it's simply a log of what processes were running for how long. How does wiping your usage history (stats) improve battery life?

I'd love to be better educated about batterystats.bin, but it seems to me that it's more a placebo effect and urban myth that it does what we're told it does. I've asked on numerous forums but no one can ever answer. Maybe someone here knows... :confused:

Is that the same as going into clockwork then into advanced and wiping battery status?
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Terminal emulator in market which allows you to type in commands to the device.
[Thunderbolt General] psychomaniac189:
yes, also you can do *#*#info#*#* in your dialpad and click battery info to see your battery stats
[Thunderbolt General] Darkreignn:
Well I've tried almost everything to fix this battery problem and nothing has worked. Just woke up for work and did a restart. Battery was at 42% , after restart its at 32%. So don't know what's going on. Love the phone really hating these battery issues on having.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Do this method after being charged to full. It may take a while to keep bumping it, but it works :).
[Thunderbolt General] samdroidx:
thank you

Thank you OP! This took me a few hours but really did the trick! I kept getting stuck at 99% so I'd let it sit there for a bit and reboot and charge again til it hit 100% and it worked out great after I was consistently getting 99% on my reboots. Battery life is way better all around now. Doesn't seem to drop as much on reboots for me, either. Hopefully if I just flash on a full charge from now on like I should have to begin with I won't have to do this again :D
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
You guys know that if you turn on fast boot mode you can charge it while it's off right? Works for me

Hello my name is Michael and I'm new to the forums and I have a question. Knowing that the inspire is just a American version of the desire hd, can you put desire hd roms on the inspire? I've tried it once and read a post on a blog that you would have to flash a a special inspire kernel, but when i did that after the htc boot screen it went black. Is there anything that I'm missing or is it just that not all desire hd roms will work with the inspire?

B&H possibly not having supply was what concerned me. When they list their pre-order option I immediately signed up. But the next day when the release from Motorola came out, they didn't list B&H selling the Xoom. That scared me. When I saw Amazon on there.. with free shipping and 'cancel anytime' and we won't charge you until it ships.. I decided to cancel my B&H order and go with Amazon. I'm sorry you still don't have it. My thoughts would be to cancel your order and go through Amazon or somewhere else. B&H cancelled my order the next day after requesting (I cancelled it that night).. so really next business day. They are good about that. I believe other places have it in stock. These are too much fun to be waiting for someone to get in their own stock!
