Hi guys.

I'm not a complete newbie here but I have a huge fear when messing with bootloaders.

I'm on JVH now and I think its time to give Cyanogen a try, so I just want to know a safe way to go back to Froyo bootloaders. Can you give me some help?

Thank you very much!

Can anyone using the KC1 modem or on Rogers/Bell post if they are able to view MMS messages and what modem they are using.

I get a "download" button, but when I click it it gives me an error saying it can't download it.

If I use the GO SMS app the image shows up perfectly when an MMS is received--but I would like to avoid having this app installed if possible.

Hi guys, about 4 days ago, i start having problems with my ringtone, i was on stock jvh with supercurio kernel, everything was working fine, very smooth and responsive, but suddenly i noticed that the ringtone volume goes down by itself, i mean when i restart the phone it boots up without a ringtone, and when i dont use the phone for about 1 hr, and then i receive a call there is no ringtone, i press the volume key up and and i noticed that the volume bar it's all the way down.

At first i thought was a problem with supercurio kernel, because i have it a clean JVH install with a SD format and wipe this and wipe that..=), but then i tried with Cyanogen7 and is the same thing.. I am in Cyanogen right now.

Does anyone here as been through this issues?

Note: this only happens with ringtone calls, notifications and alerts works fine!!

@atinm good FAQ, for what it's worth there is a link with full details and screenshots on installing the Google USB driver for Nexus here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

It is not that obvious where the driver is in the SDK Manager, and this page gives full instructions on installing the driver for various versions of Windows, although they get the downloaded path wrong, it is <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\ , not <sdk>\google-usb_driver\.

I can't believe it but it worked. I needed to go to system32/drivers and then delete some drivers from there. While uninistalling the drivers, there was the option to delete them as well. Remove all the possible drivers AND reboot like 3 times. Then put the phone to download mode and that's it. I didn't ask Windows to install any drivers...and VOLA! Odin picked up my phone with that much waited yellow COM port notification. One of the happiest sight for me for some time :)

Exactly. If you are already running cm7 then you have no need to mess with your bootloaders. Enjoy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
We get asked that alot. Applying a lagfix to cm7 is very VERY important.

Some people prefer ext4 but I really like boysenberry, which is both fast and heart healthy.

Just open the back of your phone and using a cold chisel remove the motherboard. Apply a generous helping of lagfix (about two tablespoons) between the screen and motherboard then replace the motherboard and secure it with duct tape and old tongue depressors.

Your phone will now be much improved...and taste fantastic with peanut butter.

(Actually you have no need for lagfixes of any kind, and trying to apply one will kill your phone....you are on cm7 now. This is not your father's Galaxy. Live the dream.)

noobish question........................sorry!!

Hi

I have been running CM7 for a few days now and am loving what the devs have done, simply awsome work. This morning I have suddenly started getting random reboots after installing juicedefender ultimate and configuring it to my liking.

My question is how can I check if it is juicedefender that is causing the reboots? I know I can disable it and see if everything runs fine but I am wandering if the reboots are captured in some logs somewhere (logcat for example).

I have had a look at my logcat file using alogcat from the market but its just all giberish to me.

Can someone advise me if there is a way to log the reboots and what may be causing them?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Have you registered any google/gmail accounts yet? All your Android Market activity is tied and registered to your Google account so it sounds like it could be missing.

moving apps to sd isn't going to help either i'm afraid, also formatting /datadata will only causing you lose everything (e.g lockscreen, power menu, etc)

the only way is uninstall some apps you don't really need.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
It shouldn't be flashing a nightly, but the update.initial.zip. did you download the wrong file?

If so, go into download mode and use odin to flash a froyo ROM, get the right file and put it in the internal SD card. Then install cm7 again.

Or if you have the right file it needs to be in the same directory as the kernel zip...if it isnt you will need to go back to froyo to move it.

FasterFix does nothing else than changing the ntp server to europe.pool.ntp.org so you could just open /data/system/GPS.conf and replace north-america with an ntp server near you. Also you could try angrygps, there is a link somewhere in this thread i think. It is an apk file and just needs to be placed in /system/apps/ it wont be visible in launcher but improve fix time and gps reception. I can get a fix on my couch using it where i did not see one bird before.
