[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonKid:
Hey all,

I have a wierd problem - and was wondering if you can help. I have tried searching the forums for a solution - but could not find one (maybe I didn;t look hard enough) - so apologies...

My Galaxy S (GT-I9000) has the following spec:

Firmware - 2.1-Update1

BaseBand - i9000XXJF3

Kernal - 2.6.29 root SE-S602 #2

Build - Eclair

Over time have had the usual problem os on-going lag etc etc. But recently I started having the problem where the built in Media player and You Tube application refused to recognise and play any media. Trying to play DivX file comes back with error message: "Sorry this video cannot be played" - and the same for You Tube. The only solution is to restart the phone.

I tried to connect it to KIES to upgrade but it wouldn't have it - so after speaking to T-Mobile tech(?) ended up doing a factory reset. Now when trying to connect onto KIES - the connection is made but thats it. No indication of upgraded firmware etc etc. This I tried on several computers at work and the same result. Than when I tried on my own computer at home - it came back with the following message:

"This version of the device cannot be updated"

T-mobile have advised its a Samsung problem and have refused to help any further - and Samsung have not replied at all.

Any ideas guys?

Also - will installing Darkys ROM be a good move? Will it retain the TouchWiz UI or will that be blitzed?

Many Thanks guys

~LK~
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
well kies will only update the firmware you currently have...

example, if your phone is t mobile firmware, then tmobile will have to release a updated version, with their add-ons included, so i dont think its a samsung problem as we are almost upto 2.3.3 never mind 2.2 lol.

if you really want to up date your firmware you are going to have to do this 'unofficially' using www.samfirmware.com - to get the latest firmware release.

if you want to go custom, be sure to read up properly and know the ins and outs incase you have troubles,

the choice of which rom to go for is entirely down to you, we cannot say 'this rom is better than that rom'

so whatever you decide to do, be sure to read the instructions that come with it exactly as they are shown :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonKid:
Hi azzledazzle

I have spoken to t-mobile, and they inform me that they are shipping out 2.2 - and soon to be 2.3. Where the phone is not communicating with KIES or KIES not reporting any new firmware or KIES not updating IS a problem for SAMSUNG and not them. So you see I'm kinda stuck.

I can get the latest Samsung firmware from samfirmware.com but to be honest the long winded procedure of using ODIN etc kinda scares me. I knwo for many this is a simply process, but I don;t want to get it wrong.

Just one question - whats the advantage of having custom over original?

Thanks

~LK~
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
kies works for a lot of us, so i dont know whats happening where you are :confused:

anyway ODIN is relatively simple, providing you follow instrctions, in total there is only about 10 steps and you have nice new firmware :D

anyway there are many advantages over custom rom / original roms/

custom roms give you more speed, many more features, allow you to customise every feature of the phone and get rid of 'network branded' stuff.

you can also install funky fresh themes and completely revolutionise your device :D

but there are also downsides, Its possible to brick the phone (this can be fixed 99% of time), you lose your warranty, (this can be replaced by going back to stock) and i cant think of anymore lol

there are more positives than negatives, but it lies down to you..

not every android user runs a custom rom ya know lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonKid:
Hahah - so Custom wins :)

I'm in London - just down south of you...so not sure why KIES is saying that this device cannot be updated???

If I put a custom rom onto the device - would I be able to upgrade it to offical Gingerbread(when it comes out) with ease - or will it pose a problem?

~LK~
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
no, kies will not detect a custom rom

but however you can flash back to a stock rom and then it will find it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Kies requires two critical components to be in place to update .

One is a later version of the firmware to have been uploaded by the phone provider . In your case TMobile they have uploaded 2.2 or 2.2.1 you can proceed .

TMobile in your post say shipping out does that actually mean its on the servers .

Two Kies requires the correct identification of product code hardware id etc to locate the new TMobile firmware if thats not correct it fails .That usually apply to custom/stock roms .

If you have an untouched TMobile phone and cannot update its nothing to do with Samsung Kies and TMobile are your update path not Samsung .

Hi

Just been on the phone to T-mob...and GAWD my ears burning...but anyway - their "THIRD LINE" support person told me that they do updates OTA, and if my phone is not getting it than there must be somethign wrong with the handset. He has advised me to either visit a local Samsung repair centre to have the phone flashed with the latest firmware or T-mob can do a handset swap...

lets see what the repair centre say - and how long it'll take.

Guys - rather than taking it to teh Repair centre - is flashing a new firmware something I can do? Is it easy?

Many Thanks for all your help.

~LK~
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
it is somewhat easy providing you take your time and read the instructions 2 - 3 times.

flashing your new firmware will take less than 30mins to download the required software / firmware - read the instructions and flash... it will take longer than this to send it to samsung.

BUT and this is a big BUT (like my gf's ;) ) if you feel confused or scared... DO NOT DO IT, the chances of getting it wrong under pressure is high and if you dont know how to fix a brick, your doomed.

if in doubt..... do nout

Make sure you try b4 posting because the ones I have on first glance appear to work, but in you go into WiFi settings you will see the phone continually reconnecting and getting an ip

[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
I don't need a WiFi fix... the WiFi is fine with the stock spa suppliant. Only the modified ones cause this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
As before, can you logcat the issue?
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
ok will do that later today.
[Galaxy S II General] phillamg:
I'm having the same problem, although it worked fine before the firmware updates (did KE1 then KE2 shortly after as it just hit!)...
[Galaxy S II General] phillamg:
Hmm, I went out to connect to an Open network and it worked, coming back trying to connect to my WPA2 network it now connects properly. Maybe it was a different issue for me but might be worth trying making the network open and seeing if it connects, then re-enable the security...
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
defaeats the purpose... no way i am going to leave an open network at home. mine only has minimal security simple wep
[Galaxy S II General] phillamg:
Slightly mis-understood me... After I updated my framework-res.apk file I had the same problem again today. I forgot my home network settings, changed it to completely open, connected and then as soon as it worked I turned off wifi, re-enabled the security and re-connected again but with security enabled. Only took 1 min as an open network.
[Galaxy S II General] gbrandwood:
Can somebody please provide a link to the supplicant file that allows SGS2 to see ad-hoc networks, and the instructions of how to install it? I would be very grateful. Need to get my AR-DRONE working. It is just sitting there looking at me... grrrr :mad: :)
[Galaxy S II General] gbrandwood:
Okay - found a supplicant file, rooted phone, installed file (replaced original with Root Explorer - is this the right way?), rebooted. Can now see ad-hoc - great! But cannot connect. Sometimes it connects, gets an IP then disconnects. Major fail!
[Galaxy S II General] gbrandwood:
Until such time that this is sorted out by someone much more clever than me, I have managed to use Shellware's guide to create an SGS2 guide which I posted here. That will keep me content - for now :-)
[Galaxy S II General] fireedo:
Still no luck with ad-hoc WiFi.....any progress
[Galaxy S II General] gbrandwood:
Yes! I used the file in this thread and it actually works how you would like it to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058319

Again, I wish I found this myself - but the author of the AR.Pro (Shellware) pointed it out to me in the ARDrone-Flyers forum. Dang - I needn't have bothered with the guide! :rolleyes:

It does indeed work - and allows me to not only see the adhoc network of the ARDrone and hold a lock on to it, but it also lets me connect to my normal WPA2 secured network. Great. I'll stick with it for a while and see how it goes.

From my limited use of it so far with my drone, I've noticed the Wi-Fi signal strength indicator (in AR.Pro) does go up and down quite a lot - even in the small places I have tested. When I compare this to the behaviour after following my guide, the hotspot approach with the original wpasupplicant seems to hold a better signal. But this observation is purely made on the signal bar indicator in AR.Pro. I haven't had good enough weather for me to try it outside to really test the range yet.
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
someone said Ke7 fixed this issue
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
nope tried it and it doesnt
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
Well, I have KE7 and created a Wifi hotspot with my SGS1. I was able to connect to it and browse the net fine; all my phone's files are stock as well.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
a wifi hotspot is not the same as adhoc support.. adhoc is the abiility for the phone to see and connect to adhoc networks.. when you put the modified file on the phone wifi no longer works.

please research what you are talking about b4 posting.
[Galaxy S II General] wergio:
partially working for me too (italian stock KE7), used wpa_supplicant from link in post #18

ad hoc connection created in Windows 7, with internet sharing (from PC to phone without access point)

but WPA-PSK is NOT working

only open and WEP are OK
[Galaxy S II General] danielherrero:
For me open and WEP only works 2 or 3 seconds. Then disconnects :(
[Galaxy S II General] jojo2peter:
i guess you wanna use your wifi dongle on your pc as an access point.

Ad-Hoc didnt work for me, cos it's an android problem.

Try the tool "Connectify", works fine for me. But i needed to try more than one wifi dongle, because the first weren't able to be used as AcessPoint
[Galaxy S II General] wergio:
the android problem with ad hoc is solved by using a new wpa_supplicant executable (root needed), is working for me!

Connectify is fantastic but a lot of "old" wi-fi adapter is not supported and ad hoc is the only possibile choice in this case
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
A wifi hotspot IS adhoc. I can connect to it with my SGS2. What's the problem?

Please research English grammar before posting...
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
geeze.. nooo a wifi hotspot is infrastructure mode not adhoc.
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
I sit corrected... my S1 has created a hoc network in the past and I have it in the list of saved wireless networks, which is what had me confuzzled. Apologies.

[Galaxy S II General] darz:
This one worked for me too.

The first time: Set directory R/W, copied file, change permissions to rwxr-x-r-x, set directory back to R/O, reboot = FAIL

Second time: Disable wifi, Set directory R/W, copied file, set directory back to R/O, reboot = SUCCESS!

So disabling wifi might be the key.

But I haven't tried encryption as I don't need it (just want to fly my ardrone!!)

[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Bzeek should run on Windows xp SP2 or later versions of windows... I can't test it on xp though, but I found that this wpa_supplicant doesn't work on bmarko's MIUI rom, so anyone has a wpa_supplicant forad-hoc on MIUI?
[Galaxy S II General] endor43:
Hello,

This wpa_supplicant for adhoc was one of the first things that i needed to get working on my GSII, I have used stock, various cognition, infusion, tk etc., and this wpa_supplicant has worked every time.

Instructions

Download wpa_supplicant

cd to where it is on your computer

#adb shell
#su
#chmod 777 /system
#chmod 777 /system/bin
#chmod 777 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
#exit
#exit

#adb push wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant

#adb shell
#su
#chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
#chmod 755 /system/bin
#chmod 755 /system
#exit
#exit

It should "just work" now after turning wifi off and on, but you can reboot your phone if you want.

This has worked for me without fail every time.

I hope it helps (and works for you)!

Got here looking for a solution to this. I can get the phone to connect to the ad hoc network, the computer sees it too, with IP address via DHCP both same on the computer and phone. So it seems they're now connected but the thing is, when I open the browser, it waits for a while and then it says the browser failed to communicate. I've tried the market and email, same thing no internet connection.
