[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Read up on everything beforehand. Updating to OEM 2.2 before trying a custom ROM will cause 3e verification errors. Flashing a Gingerbread ROM will cause bootloader issues if you decide to go back a to a 2.2 based ROM. GB ROMs are also very specific as far as installation steps. Know what you're doing and plan to do before you do it. It isn't hard until you brick your phone.

As Miami_Son said, read through the different rom threads and also watch the videos that are posted.

Learn to flash 2.2 or 2.2.1 roms through Clockworkmod first.

Good luck and happy flashing.
[Epic 4G General] Sensorly:
Hi EPIC-lovers,

I've reversed-engineered some private APIs on the EPIC 4G to get access to the 4G technical information.

So if you want to know what your signal strength is and what tower your are connected to, check out our app "Sensorly", it's in the market. You can allow the app to upload coverage information and help build real coverage maps of all the carriers in the US... and yes, we have a wimax map.

I would have loved to add a screenshot here, but I haven't posted enough in this forum (you can get one at : wwwDOTsensorlyDOTcom/static/wimax.png)

We display

Network Access Provider Id

Network Service Provider Id

BSSID

CINR

RSSI

We're always looking for more users :)

PS: I've tried hard to get to the same information on the EVO and haven't come up with a solution yet ! Will post in that forum if I do.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Very cool - any plans on publishing source for the app?

Here's that screenshot:

EDIT: This could be very useful to users of the Indulge on MetroPCS, with LTE... feel free to PM me if you'd like some inroads there.

EDIT2: You can allow the app to upload information. Folks, this dev gets it right - and if Sprint had the same intentions with Carrier IQ, they'd have done the same thing.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
And other good news...the new version now works with the Epic to report EVDO areas. YAY! Kudos to the developer for letting me bug him for while on this :)

Only thing the Epic sometimes goes to zero signal for a bit even though you are in a good signal area. But that's the radios fault for reporting that.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Pretty cool. It is like Waze for cell coverage. What is the turn around time from sending data to seeing the coverage map updated?
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I think when I checked it was a couple of hours. Just make sure you have it set to send up while on cell.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Not a bad turn around time at all.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Nice work!
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Just gave it a thorough try driving home from work on 4G with GPS running.. Thing collected and sent over 1400 messages in 12 miles. :eek: That's some good data collection and also good way to warm up the phone.. 40 degree battery when I got home.

Only bug I've found so far is I choose to send over wifi only and it still sent messages anyway while I was on 4G.. Other than that.. Ran smoothly
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
Cool, thanks!

They just installed a 4G tower less than a mile from my house so I've been sensorly-driving and updating, it appears I'm the only one though (my reports showed up about an hour later, no one else has added any). I'm hoping they up the power on the site; I can only connect in a few wide open areas, though sensorly is picking up the wimax data for several miles.
[Epic 4G General] sneerpeer:
Good stuff, works great
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Not sure if this thing actually works right. I sent a lot of messages from work yesterday while connected to 4G. 24hrs later, at work again, and it is still showing the same exact coverage and that my location is a no 4G forecast.
[Epic 4G General] Sensorly:
Some answers

Hi everyone, thanks for giving it a try...

The turn around time is at most within a couple hours. At maximum zoom level, it's probably within the hour and off-peak hours, within a couple minutes...

I don't see any backlog on the server handling that map so if data hasn't appeared, please email me the phone id (it's anonymous : created at install time) through the settings screen and explain the issue.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] bjl95mustang:
Works good Thanks
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:

[Epic 4G General] Schuby:
Amazing application.

No 4G in my area, but I'm glad I can find where it starts to show a signal!
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
So the big question is...when do we start see signal strength on 4g on the map instead of the just unavailable or available.

Very cool I saw the signal of the 4g and other data with it when I just passed through a 4g area. Excellent work!!!!

[Touch HD General] djalexnl:
Hi guys,

Im running blackstone new V rom for a while now. I recently returned to a backup cause of a crash of the phone. Now i restored all my stuff perfectly but one question still remains for me. When i call a person or when a person calls me in de call list all entries are now double. So every call i make of have taken is places double in the call list.

I know i have seen this problem before but cant remember how to fix it. Maybe somebody can help me remember.

Gr Alexander
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
what backup software did you use?

a full backup suite like spb backup, resco backup...

or a backup solution for pim data only like pimbackup or ms myphone?

i don't know how important your past call logs are to you, but every solution that comes to mind includes deleting them.

- you could simply delete the logs and see if new entries are created twice as well then. OR

- after you have restored your backup, create a new backup not including your call logs, hard reset (or delete pim data, depending on your backup type) and restore the new backup, which does not include call logs.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liebs1973:
Im sorry if this is covered somewhere else.

I have a Telstra NEXT G (Australian) version of Galaxy s GT-i9000

I did something stupid ........mainly because Im too much of a noob to be messing with things.

I upgraded to Darky V9.5 (after previous successful downloads of earlier versions) however I THEN messed around with an app I had downloaded from the market earlier of which I forget the name, I think it was something like ODIN or OLA or similar. Its some kind of lagfix and it changes file system or boot structure of something I have no idea about and should not have used. I selected the option for install Tools V1 and following that I have been unable to boot the phone. It is stuck on the Galaxy S Splash screen and I have no way of entering recovery mode.

I managed to get to a screen with a big yellow triangle and the Android robot working on construction - I then held the power button for a few seconds hoping for a proper reboot, but it simply returned to the Splash screen mentioned above.

I have never used programs lile ODIN - can someone talk me through steps tp fix this.

Many thanks !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msolus:
I'm pretty sure you've messed up your filesystem in an attempt to convert it to ext4.

The correct way to apply a lagfix is usually through recovery mode (vol up+home+power while turning on) unless the kernel has a specific app for it.

If you can get into download mode then you can reflash through Odin, though you'll have to find a modem that supports Telstra's 850mhz Next-G network.

I've always disabled ext4 before flashing in Odin, so I'm not really sure how to proceed here. I'm pretty certain you'll need to flash a PDA,PHONE and CSC with a pit and repartition turned on.. but I would check with a more knowledgeable member.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfangex5:
Well, msolus is quite right. You clearly made a mistake in converting the system to ext4. I suggest that you install a stock froyo firmware just in case you still want to stick with darky's rom which now currently has the v10RC6 running gingerbread which in my opinion is quite buggy.

So here it is my solution.

First, you enter download mode by using the three-button combo. Vol. down+home button+power.

Second, you need to get the files here :

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-rom-v3-0-full-installation-guide-w-video/

Then, in case you'll get confused by the instructions there, I suggest you continue reading this.

NOTE: Make sure you have the samsung usb drivers installed before you proceed :D It's in the link :)

Okay, so you're in download mode then open the EzOdin. you'll see the ADDED message somewhere there. then tick the repartition button :) (

MAKE SURE YOU CHECKED REPARTITION!!

:D )

click PDA and search for the PDA file you downloaded. the same thing applies to the CSC and PHONE :D ( The files are already named so maybe you can figure that out already ) :D

after those, press start.

wait for reboot and you're good to go :D you have just revived your phone. lol :)

I suggest you try using cm7 rom :) it's quite better than darky's in my opinion :D cheers!

The program was called OCLF for rayana or something short for (One click lag fix).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
OCLF

stay away from OCLF now that you are using roms like darky... search and read about ext2 lagfixes(OCLF) and ext4 lagfixes.. just download your stock 2.2 rom from samfirmware.com and you tube some videos/search xda to help you flash.

basics are.. go into download mode, triangle with digging guy... open odin, plug phone in, select pit and pda file and flash... some particular phones based on region have modem requirements, do some searching and reading

cheers

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustyJoe:
Hi,

I've had a problem with the phone out of the box: when the phone is connected to the charger (non Samsung charger) or the USB in the computer, the touch screen bearly responds. I try to use the phone but it's like the touch panel does not respond, or sometimes it responds and some time it doesn't. Once I disconnect the charger, it goes back to being fully functional.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix this? Is there an app in the market to test whether there is a problem?

Gosh, I hope this is not a HW problem..:confused:

Some of the HTC Evo 4G phones had a similar issue when it was launched last year. HTC was able to fix it with a software update. But I don't know if your phone ihas the same underlying cause. If it is easy for you to return, you may want to try that rather than waiting for a fix.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowppl:
I have a Galaxy S1 and had a similar problem. I bought a non samsung usb cable to charge my phone and it caused it to be unresponsive while connected. As soon as I disconnected it, the phone returned to normal. I bought some samsung data cables from ebay and never had the problem since.

A friend of mine had a Blackberry (i think), and used my samsung cable to try to charge his phone in my car. It never worked.....or atleast his phone never said it was charging.

My guess is the cables may have the same connector, but the wiring my be different.

I could be completely wrong though, but this is the experience I had with the original galaxy s

Thank you for your help
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio22:
I would go back to stock first. I believe your problem lies in the bootloaders. There are two bootloaders in the beginning and if you don't have the gingerbread ones installed, you won't install gingerbread properly.

I would use DesignGears One Click Odin to go back to stock and load the Froyo drivers. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989. Make sure you open up Odin first before plugging in your phone, then hit the Start button.

Once that is done, you can try again, but read about getting the GB bootloaders installed properly before you try to flash a GB ROM. Any of the GB ROM instructions should get you there. Just make sure you know all the steps before you try it again.

Good Luck!!

Going on official froyo will get you the signature failed error (which you need the 3e recovery fix if you ever want to flash a custom ROM).

So, basically, if you want more than 2.2 official release. We suggest you don't update. If you're perfectly fine staying on 2.2 Froyo, then there's no problem lol

As for Kies, you shouldn't have any problem using Kies mini. Other than that, there is a 2.2 flash around here. I'm sure you'll find it doing a little search :)
