Not average usage, still...

Thursday charged to 88%

Flashed #77 (before it drained 20% to flash a new nightly)

Saturday flashed #80

Hours on the phone solving user PC problems

wifi to load Skype and update several apps

BT to move screens to PC

Test 3g with Skype and browser

etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I don't use BT so can't vouch for any...I would just download a few free ones that say they connect to a GPS mouse and try them out. Nothing to lose at this point.

Need advice

Hi,

I've said goodbye to my relatives and closest friends so I think I'm prepared to plunge into CM7 :)

As I have a company phone, I was delaying this action but I think now is the moment. And this urge to install CM7 is also motivated by what I think is an hardware problem with the SGS USB connector. Suddendly I can't connect to my laptop. I've following some advises on driver installation (Win7 and WinXP), and even made a factory reset, but without any success connecting the SGS to the laptop using USB ("USB not recognized"). And because I think this problem won't be accepted under guarantee, I might as well "improve" the SGS. This means: go to CM7!

The present configuration of the SGS is:

(note: I've prior applied the Voodoo LagFix after upgraded to Froyo on Kies):

- ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK

- Radio: I900XXJPP

- Kernel: 2.6.32.9 speedmod-k13e

- ROM: FROYO.XWJPF

So, all that I can do must not use the USB so I think ODIN is out. And the only options to "upgrade" is (I think) using CMW and/or ROM Manager.

My wish list is to install CM7 and as I've read so many positive reviews about Radio JVR I also would like to install it.

But my biggest concern is the Bootloader. At this moment my knowledge tells me that the only way to install a new Bootloader is with ODIN and via USB. But I can't do that. And I'm afraid of having that latest nightlies with FROYO bootloader because the SOD.

So, I'll appreciate very much some advises of the next steps and what you recommend me to install (and how)? I think I need to upgrade the CMW but I'm not sure.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
you are right, you could well get troubles using froyo bootloaders, did you already try if the phone is found by odin when in download mode?

2G - 3G problem?

Hello !

It seems that I have a problem with nighly #80 (GB bootloaders):

Yesterday I turned the wifi on and stay connected to my home network.

This morning when I left home I got disconnected from wifi, but I only got a "G" connection, when I was used to get a "3G" or "H" one.

After playing with the "2G only" parameter (which seemed to be buggy, it got greyed at a moment and I couldn't access it anymore) and rebooting the phone (and playing again with the parameter!), I got my 3G/H connection back.

This is the 2nd time I have this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevinre:
You can always try to download the Samsung Nexus S drivers. Maybe that will get your phone connected again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
Yes I've tried and it didn't recognized. As I'm doing some experiments, I'll try again to connect with ODIN in DL, but I'm not counting to much on that ;-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
I've tried either with latest KIES and also just installing the Nexus drivers from this topic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961956&highlight=driver

I'll keep trying get again the usb connection (with little hope) but I think my recent vacations have not done much good on the SGS (been dropped, used intensively by my children and ... got some beer from a glass spilled down :o ...)

Why is the market still FC'ing with the new gapps?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Hmmm.. did you try another USB cable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oaia:
is not a problem with nighly #80, it was happened to me several times in the past with froyo bootloaders, like SOD is happening randomly, so there is currently no cure for it !!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zatta:
Personally I wouldn't flash cm7 before getting your phone connected to odin, not because of the bootloader (froyo bootloader is just fine) but because there is no going back to Samsung roms without it.

Tapatalked u see
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
That is also my rational thinking about what to do (or not to do).

But as I'm thinking also that I will not be able to solve this problem under guarantee ... I was hoping for some last resort to upgrade the SGS to CM7 ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oaia:
have you tried heimdall: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/

Download it, unzip it, and then install drivers: Put your SGS into download mode and connect it to your computer, run Drivers\zadig.exe, tick "List all devices" from "options" menu and select “Samsung USB Composite” or "Gadget Serial" and click the "Install Driver" button
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
Nice try, thanks.

I've followed your instructions but at the end I don't have a "Samsung USB Composite". I have an "Unknown Device". Nevertheless I've tried the "Install Driver" button but it returns an error - "FAILED (Resource already exists)" :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RoeeKa:
Guys I just flashed the new gapps, but now market (new one) always FC's after a few seconds.

If you are running a different kernel do not post bugs,glitches or unsupported features.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J_Force:
Just wanted to report the following. Soft buttons light up one time for a sec, then there is the CyanogenMod bootscreen and then the unlockscreen. No ask for pin. Can't see what happened.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] malomity:
Well I've been using cm7 since nightly #12 I think, and I've never had this before... But I was using glitch kernel lately (can't remember when I installed it, maybe with nightly #60 or before), so I can't know for sure if this problem came with #80 (I'm using stock kernel with this one), or was here before but corrected by Glitch kernel.

Or maybe it has always been there and I've been really lucky ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] triple666:
Sorry i thougth that i´m in the wrong thread.

But i couldnt find the bln settings with the original kernel too before i flash neo !

Another Qu. : Is there a way to add sounds for the alarm ? I try to copy a few sounds to system/media/.... but i got an error ( .... read only) ! -> solved !!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
because there is no bln nor led notifications in stock cm7...

Installed build 80 on top of JVQ. Did a bunch of factory restes, cleared everything I could from CWM, formatted SD card. Two stressing issues:

- got FC with media process, pretty random. Very annoying

- during a phone call, when I answered, I couldn't hear anything, needed to end call and redial. Also sound quality during call seems low quality compared with stock rom.

Switched back to stock.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RoeeKa:
Nope, didn't work either.

Did anyone here flash the new gapps with market working successfully?

I want to know whether I should try a full wipe or it's just the gapps file being corrupt.

Guys how can I display contact numbers from simcard?

In Display Options setting, there is only one choice and that is my google email address. I even tried to import from simcard yet the phone cant read contact numbers from it. :confused::confused::confused:

I know my simcard works because I can receive calls and text messages from it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
try redownloading gapps, check md5sum, reflash gapps. see if that works.

edit: unninstall market first, then flash gapps.

Hello, I have a simple but maybe stupid question...

When I receive text messages, they are always with GMT time, I looked in the options and checked GMT operator thing, nothing changed..

Any ideas? maybe try that sms app "Handsent" or smthg?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
The problem is that it is an "Unknown Device" (I'm using Win7 64 Pro) and I can't "update driver" using your pack. Somehow I managed to ruin the physical connector just for data comm (I still can power the SGS).

If I manage to upgrade to CM7 I'll probably live with that ... but at this moment I'm more or less stucked at the froyo stock rom ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] blazevxi:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
this might be obvious, but have you changed usb ports? on the pc? and a long shot, maybe another operating system? i still use xp on my windows machine, probably will still use it even after it becomes unsupported.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Einride:
Yes, I flashed gapps-gb-20110729-signed yesterday on #80.

First flashed #80 in recovery, then the gbapps package directly after.

Then wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache and fix permissions (as always after a nightly update). Reboot and then Manage applications -> Market -> Clear Data.

Works just fine here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RoeeKa:
Damn, seems like its a problem here then.

MD5 is fine.

Tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, and reflashing gapps. Still no goodie >_>

How do I uninstall the market? (No uninstall from manage apps) I want to uninstall and then try to reflash before I do a full wipe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oaia:
just reflash the old gapps !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Anyone having weird random issues with build #80?

When installing updates from the market it downloading anything my phone goes bananas beeping (notification tone) and wont stop.

I'm getting fc with the market, android process and launcher pro will fc if I try use it while sd scanner is working after a reboot.

And just now, my contacts disappeared from Rocket Dial that I'm using .

Phone has become really unstable the last 24 hours. I'm using neo 15 kernel. Maybe its that.

I have fixed permissions (although it crashed twice in the process but worked the third time). I've cleared dalvik cache too.

Any advice on what to do?

Edit....happens on stock kernel too.

hello guys,

where is new gapps? they are for cyanogen?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No, none of that sounds good...not good at all.

Sounds like a bad flash...reflash Nightly 80 using the Responsible Pedestrian method I wrote up in the nightly wiki how-to section. Link to the wiki is in my signature.

If you don't mind replacing apps, a factory default may help as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Everyone having serious trouble with the market should uninstall the Market app from titanium backup then go to settings, applications, manage applications and clear data in Google services framework. Then install the gapps zip from June (not the July one) using recovery. AFTER the new gapps is installed, THEN clear cache and davlik and fix permissions.

If that fails to fix it, the only other option is to nuke the bastard from orbit by factory resetting and then reflashing the nightly and reinstalling gapps.

N yeah the 720p is still an issue did you try dice player? for me that improves it ALOT,and i get better 720p.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
i wasnt talking about the playback, this is mostly due to the lack of hardware acceleration, i could live without that,

i was talking about 720p video RECORDING :)

about the brightness steppings >

sample interval 1s

threshold is set to disabled
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Yeah I'm kind of trying to avoid a factory reset but I might have no choice. I was fine in #77 but its only been happening since updating to #80.

Ive done a reflash of #80 through cwm without doing anything else but its still the same.

I'm liking cm7 too much to go back to stock rom.

When I get a chance later tonight in work ill see what else I can do. Cheers bud ;)

Plenty ...for one thing going to miui means returning to a closed source system, waiting for a single dev to produce occasional updates. Also the miui style is not to everyone's taste, though likely that can be themed away.

However I have heard good things about the ROM, so try it and see how you like it.

Battery drain e-mail client

Found a solution to avoid battery drain due to the e-mail client.

- Disable auto sync and especially background data

- Use manual updates of e-mail accounts

Is it possible to separate the functionality of the background data check box and the auto sync check box?

If u have problems with email app, try k9 mail, its lots better than stock and its open source.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
The problem with excess drain due to the email client seems to be when there is no internet connection and you have imap/exchange accounts. I had this problem when setting the phone to airplane mode overnight.

Last week, I also thought I had solved the issue in exactly the same way as you did. But three days ago, I had huge email-caused drain again with auto-sync/background data disabled when in airplane mode. So I quit using this approach.

But on the positive side: I don't use airplane mode anymore to save juice overnight after flashing GB bootloaders: with a 3-4% drain over 10 hours at night with wifi on drain has become acceptable (in contrast to 15+% when on froyo bootloaders).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Not as far as I know....and all pending commits are merged when they are ready to be merged.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
That is sop...all mobile providers are identified by two numbers, a mobile country code and a mobile network code. These numbers are combined into a single 5 or 6 digit number and your phone reads it and parses it to a network name.

The problem here is just that these phones aren't parsing the number. Perhaps a file listing them is missing. It doesn't affect service, it is just a pain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
