[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markmq:
My problem is pretty clear in the title. Dropped my phone a couple weeks ago and my volume down bummper got stuck. Now when I reboot my phone it thinks I'm holding down the volume down bumper which brings me to the HBOOT screen. Problem is once I'm there I can't get anywhere else because it doesn't respond to volume up or the power button because I assume that it takes only one key press at a time. So this is my issue I'm wondering if I bring it in to t-mobile to get it replaced will they jump on me because they know its not the stock radio? Will they notice the S-Off, or will they care less and send me the new phone? Is there a way to just call it in instead of actually dealing with the t-mobile store? :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
That's a tricky one. You could attempt to take a small needle or something and pry the volume button in to place, but that could damage it further. You COULD try putting the PD15IMG.zip on your sd card, then boot up and see if you can get through the setup. As far as i know, you only need the power button for it. then you could try returning it. If that won't work, try doing it through adb/fastboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Issue with PD15IMG.ZIP is that I'm pretty sure you have to press vol up to accept the update :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
Can you file a warranty claim? It's obviously a hardware issue, so unless you can fix that button yourself, I don't see what else you can do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepyfu:
You could try deleting the key 114 entry in all the key layout under /system/usr/keylayout, i think its in 3 different .kl files.

Edit* so you cant boot into normal right? Prob need to fastboot adb push the kl files into the system.

I have this weird behaviour, that some app-icons in folder (not widgets) from apps i have moved to sd via settings (not app2sd) disappear after reboot. I have to kill the "Home" task and then they reappear. The apps also still listed as "installed" under settings->applications. Does anyone can confirm this or is my device buggy?

I allready tested different sds to make sure that the sd is not corrupt.

Cheers

[Xperia Play General] blickmanic:
i dont have this problem, try restoring/reflashing
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
Icons are missing is always market cache. Go to settings/applications/mange applications/all tab/market. Then delete cache. then reboot. Always works. sometimes needs a couple times though.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
ya i just had the same thing happen to me the apps werent uninstalled or anything they were jus removed from the homescreens. kinda bizzare:)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Happends to me too, so i got rid of se home and downloaded launcher pro plus, hasent happend since :)
[Xperia Play General] covux:
That doesnt work for me. Some icons still not visible in drawer. I can see that after some time, several icons are added but not all. I have to kill the Home task and then all icons are visible. Maybe I try also lauchner pro. I also contacted SE support and they said i should send the phone to repair.. i think its a softwarebug. i really like the phone and dont want to sent it away for a couple of weeks. I also debugged the phone via adb logcat to check if there is maybe a fatal error accessing the sd, but i saw nothing unusual so maybe the se home app is buggy.
[Xperia Play General] covux:
hm launcherpro kinda solved the prob. all app icons are generated in the drawer after reboot, but now apps ive placed in home-folders loosing their icons. it seems that mounting the sdcard after reboot takes too long and apps depending on sd having probs. hope its not a faulty hardware. ill do another test with class10 sd

Cheers

Okay I followed roxx instructions but my tethering still does not work at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeast614:
What exactlywere the instructions?...CM7 has tethering built in...just go to settings>wireless and networks>tether and set it up...only takes a min

Sent from my nightly EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Did you follow them exactly?

In post 8 of the thread I uploaded a zip file of the .bin file, cuz some people had trouble changing the extension from the OP.

Do you need the link to the thread?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Thanks son, you're a genius *tear*.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Funny part is it did start working for my laptop but wouldn't work for my DS like it was last week. The built in CM method worked for the DS though. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you're on an older DS, and you have the tether encrypted, you'll have to take it off, because it won't recognize it; if you remove and detection, it should find it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
It's a DS lite so it won't even support my new router. Instead of running to plug in the old one I just decided to use my phone for those special moments lol.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Killer2k8:
Hello, i need some help if anyone knowing how to disable or hide the hold button on the Phone.apk, i tried for hours and i did not succed, i want this because my proximity sensor is not working, and nearly always i end up hitting that button :(

It is the Phone.apk from FroyoMod, i attached to the thread.

If anyone would help me , i would really appreciate it..

Thank you!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Pda23:
I am looking for a dummies solution that I cannot find anywhere. I have tried to install some apk files, that end up giving me a "Application not installed". I have googled a little, but I cannot seem to find a solution. I have noticed that some apk files say signed and they will install. In certain situations I cannot find a signed version of the apk that I am looking for.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jose makalolot:
It would also be helpful what apks you are referring to.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jonny68:
perhaps the apk in question is corrupt?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Galactus:
yeah that would be useful. I know if its a system based apk your trying to move you usually have to replace it in the system folder. it could just be buggy. I once had to freeze the default music app to install miui music.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Pda23:
Opps (I did say dummy) - In Futureshocks Miui rom, he does not have Miui Back-Up installed (Odd I think), so I got a Miui Back-Up apk from another extracted Miui Rom and tried to load it, but got the dreaded "Application not installed". I saw some posts about Root Explorer, Mounting, Permissions but I could not understand the jargon. Is there a simpler way. Tks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
why not post the apk? let peeps take a look. (saying from an extracted rom - very vague, lots of reasons why things may not work.) also links to the specific things you are talking about help.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jose makalolot:
I guess its a system apk for miui so it's not possible to install it individually. Try building your own and include that apk.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Pda23:
Yes that is correct, but I read a post that mention there is a way of changing the permission as follows (My comment are in CAPS)

1.Paste the apk into /system/app

2.hit the mount r/w button - I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS

3.long press the apk, select change permissions - WHEN I LONG PRESS IN ROOT EXPLORER I DO NOT SEE PERMISSIONS AS AN OPTION

4.check read and write on the "user" row, read on the "group" row, and read on the "others" row - WHAT WOULD I CHANGE THIS TO FOR BACK-UP TO WORK

5.hit ok, and reboot

6.enjoy

Does this make sense to anyone.

Apk attached.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] kam333:
Hey

for point 2. look for grey button top right labelled: Mount R/O or Mount R/W

if the btn display is Mount R/W then you are in read only mode & vice versa

and point 3. if the cant see the "PERMISSIONS" option try scrolling down.

as for changing permissions, do this when you have the apk in place.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jose makalolot:
My comment is after your all caps. I believe you are using root explorer.

1.Paste the apk into /system/app

2.hit the mount r/w button - I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS -you can see this on the topmost part below the notification bar. Make sure r/w is on the left side not inside the button. If it is inside the button then click it to mount.

3.long press the apk, select change permissions - WHEN I LONG PRESS IN ROOT EXPLORER I DO NOT SEE PERMISSIONS AS AN OPTION -you can see permissions options when you long press the apk.

4.check read and write on the "user" row, read on the "group" row, and read on the "others" row - WHAT WOULD I CHANGE THIS TO FOR BACK-UP TO WORK -if you read it well, then it's clear that user must have checks on read and write while group and othera only needs read check. This is in the permissions options.

5.hit ok, and reboot

6.enjoy

Does this make sense to anyone.

-of course it makes sense if you just follow that simple instruction you posted.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Pda23:
In a previous rom (Futureshocks) that grey box showing Mount never appeared, hence why I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. On my lastest rom tryout, it shows up....... Now in the meantime when I press permissions I get a message "Warning, apk cannot be changed because the file is system read only". Am I back to square one...............
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Pda23:
Scratch that, I noticed what I was doing wrong, got permissions open and checked the appropiate boxes. Now I try to install and I get a "Parse error" "There is a problem parasing the package" - Damm this is difficult, any ideas................

I tried to flash Redemption ROM 2.4 and Redemptive REVOlution 2.3, but they both freeze my recovery (AmonRa) and I have to pull the battery. When I boot my phone gets stuck at the splash screen. How can I flash these ROMs? I downloaded over 3 times.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
Are you installing with rom manager? Full wipes?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrogamer348:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZINXYX:
Hi,

I am on Steve's 1.61 and whether I make or receive calls it always force closes and says no similar card. After a while everything becomes normal again. Has anyone been experiencing this and how did you resolve it please ?

Many thanks for your help.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhalder:
If you're using a screen density other than stock (160), the phone app will crash... it sucks, and there's no solution right now, Steve said he was working on CM6 again for the Streak 5, I'm sure it would be more stable when that gets fully ported.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown123456:
I'm having this very same issue with StreakDroid 1.9 and my lcd density is 160. I never changed it. There has to be more people with this similar issue.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] channer:
Just got a text from bell telling me I could update my phone through Samsung Kies. I'm running Darky's Stable 9.5 right now, do I have to flash stock rom before going for gingerbread?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pharaohdk:
most likely unless you use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959806 to trick kies into thinking you got a stock one for your refion etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FuryriderX:
I just got this message too, but i highly doubt its gingerbread. Anyone actually find out what the update is?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
I got the same message. Can anyone confirm that it is for Gingerbread?

Hehe, is anyone left using a stock rom? Lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xtoad:
Same....

Need some confirmation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darrenweiner:
I just received the same text from Bell.

There is a new version of keis to install. Once installed it's showing I have the latest firmware at KC1.

Not sure what this is all about. Hopefully a prelude to gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stevenca:
same here , hoping someone here can post what this does for them , im not on stock and not really wanting to find out the hard way what it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] channer:
bell.ca/galaxyupdate

So from reading the information, there is no word on exactly what is being upgraded other than software. From speculation, wouldn't that mean it has to be 2.3 at least.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJNutty:
I just got the same text message so I plugged into Kies. It says this is the latest firmware. I upgraded my Kies last night and I am still on stock firmware (KC1). So the wait continues I guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJNutty:
I called Samsung support and was told that they were being flooded by calls over this today and that the notification was for the KC1 update. I've been running KC1 for about a month now... Bell Mobilty Canada slack much?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DeHann:
Are you serious?! That makes me so sad.

*sigh*

What a letdown...

Either way, thanks for the confirmation. Now we all know the reason the text was sent out from Bell. Our only hope now is that they (Bell) is trying to push everyone to update their phones to the latest firmware in preparation for Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markccq:
KC1 compared to JL2?

Need some advice here. I'm still on JL2 (rooted). Thinking about upgrading to KC1, but I hear that doing so wipes out the root, and it's very difficult to root it again on 2.2.1. I also read that some people find the GPS performance went down with KC1.

So what are the actual advantages of upgrading to KC1? Or am I better off just holding out for Gingerbread?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Furry Atom:
You're misinformed. Rooting 2.2.1 is just as easy as 2.2. But it doesn't matter because KC1 is still 2.2, not 2.2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markccq:
KC1 any good?

So what are the advantages of KC1 over JL2?

Can I still apply oneclickroot on KC1 to root it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dpvu:
Honestly, if you are 100% happy with JL2 I don't think KC1 would be worth upgrading to. Wait for Gingerbread or flash JVK/JVB yourself. I believe there are some fixes in regards to how roaming is handled but there's nothing you would actually notice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BioHazard2000:
The new update is just a modem upgrade that gives support for using this device overseas. It does wipe out root but superoneclick 1.9.1 reroots it easily.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bobloblawsum:
i assumed it was for KC1 since i never got any notice from them when it first came out. The KC1 modem apparently uses a fair bit more battery and it supposed to improve using your phone in the US.

JS8 with the JL2 modem has been the best to me so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pj66:
If this is the case I won't bother to update to KC1, JL2 works just fine with my rooted ROM :).

Does anyone know if Bell is even testing Gingerbread?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] windraker:
htc just released ginger for desire hd and incredible... saw it on engagdet... ffs samsung get off you butt and give the galaxy s a true gingerbread update

Sent from my GT-I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mk_ln:
I thought it was bell that is slow with the updates. Doesn't bell add their extra stuff for the i9000m specifically? Whatever the case though, someone's definitely dropping the ball on the updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Furry Atom:
Oh hi uninformed user spouting nonsense.

Samsung has already released gingerbread. It's up to Bell to send out the rom to our phones. Stop blaming samsung, you're just as bad as those idiots in the US who think samsung held back 2.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] windraker:
ha. bell doesnt do it since our rom is made for more than one carrier in canada including virgin. its all in one file. they only supply their own apks. other than that samsung has full control

bell can't tell samsung when and what they can release.

Sent from my GT-I9000M.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgsshedden:
kc1 does improve (fix) connectivity issues when traveling in the States and all round I have found it to be a better modem than JL2 in normal usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
I'm hoping Bell's text message notification campaign is to get everyone updated to KC1, which will make their eventual rollout to Gingerbread that much easier.....

But I'm not holding my breath.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
It took about two months from international Froyo release to Bell release. At best Gingerbread will go about the same.

The question is do they even have a proper i9000 release of Gingerbread to work with yet? The previously released int'l update was pulled. Bell may have to wait for the 'proper' release, as they should instead of rushing to work with a 'faulty' version (especially since they will not be quick to do another, if ever). Assuming the proper international release is out this month or next, we are probably looking at August timeframe.

Really in the end waiting for Gingerbread release is not the end of the world. Gingerbread is not earth-shattering compared to Froyo, and 2.2 and then 2.3 within a year of the phone release isn't too bad. Also it could be worse: we could be with AT&T who didn't release 2.2 until the end of February.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
not for me kc1 would not connect reliably to my microcell when at home while jl2 does.. so the net effect was it constantly trying to pull in the weak network and sucking my battery up like nobodys busisness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Encrypted1024:
Yeah, for me it is a WAY better modem. I get far better signal strength in my area with the new update. I was noticing poor signal at my house for a couple months with JL2, now I have good signal at my house again.

Other than that I have seen no difference.
[Xperia Play General] blickmanic:
hey guys, i was REALLY surprised when i found out it doesnt take photos via the R button, its is in the PERFECT place, in portrait fair enough (you might accidentally hit it with your palm), but in landscape, its a must have!!

does anyone know how to re-map the software button to a hardware button?

ps: LOVING the phone
[Xperia Play General] Deblow:
That would be very nice indeed.

Could even use the l trigger for the focus reset or some other thing like the flash
[Xperia Play General] blickmanic:
we could use it for pre-focus, at the moment if you hold in the capture button it resets the focus :]
[Xperia Play General] watever:
use X to take photos. not what you wanted but it works :D
[Xperia Play General] blickmanic:
we could still use l/r for zoom in/out? :D
[Xperia Play General] b4d5h0t:
Totally agree with RB for taking photos, someone must beable to work abit of magic and create a keymapping app... id love to use LB as a back button when surfing too. when your holding the phone in your palm LB is in a nice place to be a back button.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
the R button works for taking pictures when your in the service menu punch this into dialpad *#*#7378423#*#* if it works in there there must be some kind of way to do it:)
[Xperia Play General] Aightu:
Does this work?
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
ya man try it out it wont mess anything up on the phone or anything its just a test is all, and i say it again if the "R" button works for taking pics in there there MUST be some way to map that key to the camera(maybe with an unlocked bootloader in the not so distant future):)
[Xperia Play General] blickmanic:
i can confirm this works, i would love to have this on my play :D

infact, im gonna try and get a camera app from the market and try and make it as native as possible, ill post you guys with updates.

(market apps allow you to re-map buttons)

Seems unlikely to be JL2 since KC1 has been out for a while.

same message came across my phone , wonder what improvements are there ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grashoper:
Yep, It's just KC1. Jeez, Bell is some slack notifying people whaaaa.... Doesn't surprise me tho that's for sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grashoper:
If you got the Update a couple months back, there is nothing new. Bell is just slack as hell notifying their customers that their is an update is all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zero|fade:
I re-installed Kies to see what that text was all about. And after installing was notified that I didn't download the latest version... right... ok, update, and...

Yeah, no new firmware.

By the way, I know GPS issues are all over the place, but anyone here go from working great with the last firmware to hardly usable with KC1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TorontoR:
bull$hit waste of time message from Bell, wasted time getting Kies updated to find out its nothing... damn.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Furry Atom:
It all depends on when you got the phone. I think it was oct 2010 where Samsung updated the gps inside the SGS to a properly functioning one. My gps is fine on KC1.

Hey,

i flashed a new Radio on my DHD , after that the new MIUI... but now i cant see any SIM Contacts, he cant find and import any... but Contacts r on the Sim... checked it with other mobilephones...

i flashed another ROM, but still the same..

before i flashed the Radio, my SIM Contacts where showed nomrally on a RUU...

so ? Should i reflash to a stock T-mobile Radio? anyone got this?

greetz
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
It's more likely to do with ROM than Radio.

I've not used MIUI ROM but there should be a setting somewhere to say to show SIM contact or Google or phone or both.

When you do I recommend you sync them with your google account then you won't have to worry about this.

Hey... It doesnt find any SIM Contacs, told me the SIM is empty, but it isnt... I dunno IF its the rom, i Tried 3 Roms yesterday miui a Custom miui and the cyanogen Mod...

i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Are you using Windoze?

If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.
