[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbycarver:
Hi , I have installed wildpuzzle Rom 2.2 sence after coming from cm7 and now my phone memory is extremely low it only has 4.7 mb left , I can't even install an app off the market anymore. Before I flashed I did do a full wipe etc and I'm still stuck with this problem. Any ideas on what to do ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio1475:
How many apps do you have? Try uninstalling some of them, then install this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result and clean cache. Also see which apps are too big.

Hi,

My new defy consumes about 3% battery every hour, My defy is rooted on stock eclair, also no wifi, no gps, no data connection and calls set to 2G. I also use setvsel with config 20@300, 30@600 and 40@800. I have used OS monitor and battery monitor but did not find any unusual activity.

i have observed that the phone doesnt drain battery much when i'm using it and only when the phone is idle it is draining my battery. Do you think my sim may be the culprit as its unable to suspend the sim when the phone is in Deep sleep mode? anybody else have faced this issue? :confused:
[Defy General] shopcity:
Does not sound too good..... Maybe try a clean sweep
[Defy General] vikrambharadwaj:
Well.. i tried factory reset.. reflashed the rom.. still same issue.. but I have not yet flashing a custom rom..

Maybe recalibrating the battery helps: Link
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 77lupin77:
hi guys...

i just got some question here and i hope anyone can help me please...

so i just update my firmware a couple of days ago to overcome 2.0 BETA2 (GINGERBREAD BASE) by alterbridge and i found out that some of my favorite features and apps in froyo doesn't work here.... so i wanted to flash back to overcome 1.6.X and just wait for more stable overcome 2.0 probably with some OC/UV kernel...

so here's the problem.... out of curiosity i just run the bootloader patch in my tab and found out that i now have a signed bootloader(PBL and SBL)..

question.... do i need to patch my tab to have unsigned bootloader to be able to flash back to overcome 1.6.X??? or is it still safe for me to flash back directly to aovercome 1.6.x without patching the bootloader??? thanks in advanced to those who will respond to this inquiry of mine..........:):):):)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shoeb180:
Hi, I am using Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 for couple of weeks. 2 days ago I found a problem that showed me "Insert sim card". I gave my set a master reset and then the set was ok. But I got the same problem today. I tried the same way. This time master reset is not working.

My IMEI is 354949040415515. PDA:I9003DXKB1, CSC:I9003OLBKB1. Firmware version:2.2.1, .

If someone knows about it. Please help me. I will be grate full to you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I think you have problem with contacts of your sim card. Try to clean them. Also you can try to show your phone to the service. I don't think this is problem with your firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
First advice is never post your IMEI no. in public thread.

As IMEI is intact there should not be any network related issue due to non registration of your device at centre of your network service provider. I feel it could be hardware issue with the SIM card slot. But not necessarily hardware, it could be even problem with your SIM itself. If its used for longtime. first test with another SIM card, may be from a friend or a family member and make sure its not a sim problem. Then if you some how you think it could be related to Firmware you have DXKB2 FW available for flashing as single PDA file. You can upgrade by flashing it from the I9003 firmware thread of Krrazyy or from Samfirmware.com. If that does not solve your problem, take it to service centre for hardware repair. All the best.:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shoeb180:
I didn't get your point bro...how it can be related to contacts?? Thanx for the help anyway. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shoeb180:
Hey, I flashed with DXKB2 last night and my phone acted ok for couple of hours. Then the problem has started again. Another thing is, now it doesn't show my IMEI in setting option or after pressing *#06#......even after pressing *#1234#, it shows me the PDA and CSC, but it shows "Phone : Unknown". Is it a network related issue? If yes, wht to do now. Thanx for the previous comment.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] JJEgan:
Not network you wiped your phones IMEI with the flash .

You backed up your EFS folder then just restore it .

NO apart from why not you need to find the EFS restore thread that may help .

jje
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I mean electric contacts of your sim card. Try to clean them by alcohol. I'm not talking about sim records of phone numbers :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shoeb180:
Thanx buddy.......Another thing I want to inform you my phone shows "Baseband Version : Unknown". I showed it to the customer care and they said that the problem is with Baseband version. They also said that it's a software related issue. But my problem is it showed the IMEI and Baseband Version for 2 hours after my flashing. Then it started again. What type of flashing is going to help me?

Another thing, Can u please tell me or give me a link about restoring the EFS folder? I searched it in google.. but no result! :(

In addition I am using it from Bangladesh. As far as I know it is not officially launched here. Do I need any unlocking process? If yes, how can I do that??

N.B: Even kies is unable to connect my phone right now!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rastogilokesh:
I have the same problem

Hi, I have exactly the same problem on my Galaxy SL i9003. Did you finally manage to solve it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
to restore imei you need to have backup of your working imei efs folder.i see you have your imei number written here not sure if it is possible to mode efs folder to fit you phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shoeb180:
It's been a long time. I was frustrated and stopped trying of repairing my phone. Now I see some light. Some people are talking about efs restore. I samsung captivate, a developer showed the way to repair imei and product code without even using pc.

Is it possible in I9003?

And hey, can u please tell me now whether I can mode my efs with that IMEI.

Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] simmer14:
this could be a hardware related issue also !

may be the pin where the sim card is inserted went inside or was bent..

or else insert any other sim card and see if ur phone works or not..

3rd this could be a corrupted sim card problem.. my sim card got corrupted and no matter in which handset i put my card in the phon won't boot ! btw it was a BSNL sim card..

-SiMmER
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shoeb180:
Thanx for ur post SiMmER. But I don't think it's about any hardware related issue because I have tried all the way possible to make my phone working.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] frankbel:
If you made a backup of your efs folder, then via CWM it is possible to restore it. If such a backup does not exists, then things are really complicated. maybe you can use the backup of some other EFS from a different i9003, and try to modify the IMEI with yours that can be taken from outside the box. I don't know if you can do the last procedure but some expert maybe can!

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I had a similar issue with another phone and sim card, similar to the contact issue. why not take out your sim and put it on a flat surface to see if it's still flat as it should be? if it got hot and became slightly warped, you'll have to bend it back (CAREFULLY!!!) so that the contacts are in contact again ;)

if this is the case, you have to get a new one at your service provider so it doesn't keep happening...

And see if u inserted sim card d wrong way.. It happened to me..

Sent from my GT-I9003
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] boloko:
I got this problem too.

It suddenly happened to me when using stock room (xxkb1, if i'm not wrong), and in that time i never flashed anything in the phone, so probably not a software issue.

I tried rebooting billion times, put another sim card, cleaning the contacts, factory resets, prayers and nothing worked. But the weird fact is that sometimes it starts working out of nowhere for 2 or 3 hours and then it stops. It confuses me, because it means it's not hardware too. So then i tried updating to xxkpe and xxkph and the problem still remains.

My sim card is not bent, its not inserted in wrong way, the sim cards work in others phones, shows "Insert sim card" when i try going into network settings, doesn't show my IMEI in setting option or after pressing *#06#......even after pressing *#1234#, it shows me the PDA and CSC, but it shows "Phone : Unknown" (like OP), and i didn't backup the EFS. Everything else in the phone works great..

Could you guys help me out? I live in small city in Brazil and bought the i9003 in Paraguay, there are no samsung customer care or similar nearby.

You have a gingerbread bootloader installed?

Any active lagfixes?

I had a similar issue after moving from cm7 back to stock-rom. This worked for me:

* flash only the .pit (no pda) with repartition ticked.

* go to downloadmode again and flash the rest (without repartition ticked).
[LG Optimus 2x] utp:
Hi all, I did a search under this forum and do not actually found any info.

Actually, many older Android phone/device do come with USB Host (OTG) function, hardware or software, with hacks or officials,

Mod/Hacks:

MOTO droid, N1, ZTE Blade, etc

Officials support:

Samsung GS2, MOTO Xoom, MOTO Atrix4G, EEETransformer, Many CN crappy Android Tablet.

I tried using a OTG Cable with a USB thumbdrive on LGP9xx but no luck, browsing thru the system I found that there are USBDisk DIRs on / or /mnt/USBDisk, there are no define on vold.fstab at all on LG, not like the MOTO Xoom..

dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci

So my wild guess is it was not turned on kernel level?

As far as I can tell, there is USBHost OTG support on Tegra2, seen post related to that on that, I understand that hardware might not be wired (that's what we gonna check), anyone any info/hints/directions/ideas about this on the LGP9xx?

It would just be great if we can use OTG on LG99x...

thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
It needs to be turned on via menuconfig. I could do a quick compile later, if you want. The downside is, that a enabled USBHost disables the slave mode. So no mass storage (Or you implement something like holding back while booting up etc to enable usb host)
[LG Optimus 2x] utp:
Wow, that's a quick and straight to the point reply!!!!!

I think I can live without a slave mode, most of my files are copied to the phone by samba, dropbox or ftp.... :)

just wonder what trick did SGS2 or others uses, I know many of the devices which support OTG has 2 diff USB port, 1 for host and 1 for slave, but I "think" got that working too in 1 port, wonder is it the same as our case here that needs special reboot or so? (SGS2 is not available here yet...so I have never tried it instead of watching in on the youtube VID online...)

Anyway, THANKS! waiting for your releases. thumbs up to all DEVs!!!!!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Benee:
Don't know. One part maybe only with other hardware drivers. The reboot solution would be best for us (but needs some work). So the easy enable via menuconfig would be enough. Anyway I started to working on this, but I don't know if my otg cable isn't working (slave function was disabled but host didn't worked). So I wanted to test it anyway. What do you need? only mass storage?

The compile could take a while (working on fixing cust toolchain build)
[LG Optimus 2x] utp:
I am aiming on USB thumb drive, keyboard and mouse..thx..
[LG Optimus 2x] Kag:
Honeycomb 3.1 has USB Host support.

Hopefully someone can pull it out and use it somehow.

Since there's no source it might not be easy.

Or you can just wait for Ice cream Sandwich(Q4 2011), i'm guessing there will be Host support.
[LG Optimus 2x] PykaTux:
Any news on development?
[LG Optimus 2x] dusitmon123:
i think the usb port of phone has no more power to use the flashdrive.
[LG Optimus 2x] martan1981:
So is this a dead project? Or is there any hope left?
[LG Optimus 2x] utp:
Not being picky or challenging to admin, I originally post this thread under development, which is should be more related since I am not asking generally how to "use" USB Host but related to kernel/drivers development....

I think this thread in general would not actually get much development attention at all...

Anyway, nope, no news, I understand hacks/dev is not a piece of cake, thanks for everyone who is working on the topic here!!!!!!!

and since CM distro do not support USB host at all, then I would suggest there may not be enough attention or momentum at all on this...
[LG Optimus 2x] utp:
I may not agree, I did use a O2Graphite with a USB host cable with a USB jostick, and keyboard+mouse on many CN made crappy Tablets, they just works...

Many USB devices do not drain that much power, especially some Flashdrives... :)

[EVO 4G General] cordell12:
Read the title, do you feel the same way? Are you tired of paying the extra $10 and getting nothing in return? I really dont even care that 4g is not in my area, what does kill me is the reduction in my 3g speeds :mad: Up untill 2 or 3 months ago I was pulling 1MB average for downloads, a few weeks before the new PRL's came out this was reduced to .3 MB's. So after a month of this CRAP I did the Verizon PRL trick, I now get 1.4 MB's or so down :) I was happy as can be again, untill yesterday I read a thread by member jorpe who is getting his service cut off via sprint for roaming to much, thread located HERE. jorpe was NOT using the Verizon hack, he was just roaming quite a bit and watch movies while doing it. I personally tend to stay under 5 gigs per month on all 3 of my phones combined! Do I have anything to worry about here? I have been with sprint for over 10 years, am gold, can call and get what I need from them with no hassle (replacement phones). I do NOT want to lose my account over this PRL thing. But I feel like I am entitled to this speed supplied by the verizon PRL. After all "Its MY data and I want it NOW".

Thoughts???

With BOTH of the sprint PRL's thew speed starts fast then drops way down in the middle of test, then ramps back up at the end, thus appearing to be fast. The average person looks at the download when it starts, its good speed, set the phone down and speed drops. Then one picks it up again to see how far along download is, speed has picked up again (towards end), user thinks download speed has been fast the whole time :eek: Its a conspiracy I tell you!!!

test @ 5:25 am on 60677 PRL sprints before 00015

test @ 5:14 am on 00015 PRL sprints latest

test @ 5:03 am on 00001 PRL verizon hack

edit...i think i will alternate PRL's, do the verizon hack for a month, then do the faster of the 2 sprints for a month. I know I am going to get yelled at by people saying the PRL makes no difference in my download speeds, but I beg to differ, I have ran plenty of tests right here from my own phone. basic math tells me there IS a difference :)

so i have 720P HD movies which are 2GB and up in file size that i put in my tab.. yes it plays smoothly but there is no audio... how could i fix it??? is there a file limit in size when it comes to videos in Galaxy Tab? i already tried different video player like mplayer, moboplayer, and soul video player but still i cant have it work,,,, what can i do for this???

by the way.. my tab is running on Overcome 2.0 beta2 by alterbridge...

i also experience this back when my tab is in overcome 1.x.x firmwares...

thank you guys...

Hello, I have a question I hope you can help me with...

I've got a nexus S 2.3 and Ive just deleted a very important text msg thread, have I lost﻿ it forever or is there anyway that I can recover it??

If I can recover it can you please tell me what I should do as I ve never done anything ike this before. Many thanks, concerned android user.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
Never tried anything like this before, so just some ideas as a general outline:

The first thing you should do is a complete image of the phone before the data can be overwritten (if it isn't already).

There is no convenient way to undelete that I know of.

I would search for the sms database file and try some sqlite tools on it. Look if there are entries that are marked as deleted or something.

If that doesn't bring anything up, I would use a good (hex-)editor to extract the strings from the file and see, if the data is somehow still there.

Anyway it will probably mean a lot of work, depending on how many sms you have stored and the best you should hope for is that you can manually reconstruct the thread in a text file or on a piece of paper.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray7110:
Hello cgi,

thanks for the reply with advice!!

what is a complete image? how do i do this?

how do i search the sms database?

where do i get hex editor from?

do i need to back up any data before trying to recover anything?

many thanks,

Ray
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
An image is a complete copy of the data on the phone. The easiest way to do that is to use a custom recovery system like clockworkmod recovery. If you have a custom ROM installed, chances are, that you already have it.

First: Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

Second: Which version of Android exactly is one your phone?

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can install a recovery image that will let you backup the data partition where your sms database should reside.

If your bootloader is locked but your Android version is 2.3.3 or lower, you can use an exploit that let's install a different recovery image.

If your bootloader is locked and your Android version 2.3.4 (and your phone is not rooted), then AFAIK you are out of luck.

I don't know in which files your sms are being stored, but it should not be that hard to find out.

There are a lot out there. I use okteta from the KDE project, but you can use whichever you want. You could use notepad, too, i guess, but that won't make things any easier.

That's the image I was talking about. You would first copy all the data on your computer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray7110:
CGIi,

Many many thanks for taking the time to reply to my question!!

I dont think there is much chance of recovering this thread, my friend has about half of the 900 texts in the thread which makes it slighty easier to swalow.

once again the importance of backing things up is key to keeping the pics, files, texts you want to keep. I'l try to do this even more in the future, I'm so sick of losing data from old mobiles, PC'S etc, I'm gonna back up everything from now on!!

Many thanks again, RAY

Is it possible and what i need ?

I'm green in this case ;)

Thx in advance. sorry for my eng ;)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
If you read around a little bit, you would come to know you cant.

Anyway, I'll still tell you - No, you cannot install CM7 on official 2.2.1 with Hboot 1.01. You will have to find someone with an XTC Clip hardware box, get your phone S-OFF using that, and only then root and install Custom ROMs like CM7.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichAP:
Since I've replied to about 4 threads already with the same answer, I figured I would post this here and maybe have it made a sticky.

If you have recently flashed a new non AT&T Rom (Euro,Gingerbread, Overcome, CM7, etc..) you Galaxy Tab will not have the correct APN setting for your monthly data sim from AT&T.

The fix:

Go to Settings

Wireless & Network

Mobile Networks

Access Point names and make sure you have one called Broadband (assuming you are on the ATT monthly data only plan)

If you dont, create a new APN:

Name: Broadband

APN: Broadband

Just leave the other options as is, save it & select it.

I think by default it comes up with the ATT wap.cingular APN which doesnt work with the Tab Data plan.
