To use that Samsung tool, you need to activate Download Mode, which isn't possible with Bootloader ver. 4.10.1.9 (and some other versions).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenEnvy:
Do any of the 2.3 based modems support 850mhz for 3g?

I've tried JVH and JVO, but neither seem grab an 850mhz signal. I've gone into secret codes and added 850 to the combi bands, but the phone never grabs 850.

This leaves me sitting on edge while at home, with weak signal. On 2.2 based roms I have no problem with the various modems that support 850mhz for 3g.

This is on a Bell i9000m.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
Flash JL2, set 850 as the only one, then flash JPD then you'll be able to flash anyone you'd want.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenEnvy:
those will work ok on a gingerbread based rom? They were released with froyo roms, just want to make sure I am not going to kill anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
The modem files are firmware agnostic....they can be used with either froyo or gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenEnvy:
Thanks guys.

Did as directed:

Flashed JL2, set it to 850 only, rebooted, flashed jpd, rebooted, flashed jq1, set it back to auto and added 850 to combi.

Seems to be working!

[Wildfire General] nizzon:
I have a new Wildfire (the one without optical joystick) and no matter what I do I cant change signal for email.

I have made folders named notifications, ringtones etc, I have put them directly in the root, in /audio/, in /media/audio/, and even made folder named /sdcard/media/audio/. Nothing works.

They show up on the phone, i can play them, but when I choose them they still dont play when I get an email. :confused:

Its a stock rom with newest Android.

Help.

I think the sound doesn't play when you receive an email. At least my Wildfire doesn't play it. Only the LED flashes green

[HD2 General] Jimmmycrackcorn:
I'm running the stock ROM, nothing other than Cookies 1.8.5....live in the US, Central Standard time zone.

My phone keeps switching itself to Pacific a few times a day. Anyone know how I can stop it from switching every time I switch it back?
[HD2 General] ricky06181993:
Border?

Is it possible that you live right on the border of two time zones and your phone is connecting to a tower in another time zone. if so just change your settings and manually set your time instead of automatically from the network.
[HD2 General] IvoBoss:
or to set the correct time zone to save the settings and turn off/turn on your phone
[HD2 General] Jimmmycrackcorn:
No, I'm right in the middle of the Central Standard time zone...and it keep setting itself to Pacific (two zones away).

I'll try setting it correctly in the "all settings area" and shutting her down for a bit....but I doubt that will fix it as I've tried restarting Sense and the phone itself after said change attempts and it's not worked either.
[HD2 General] Jimmmycrackcorn:
The

ONLY

thing I can think that might be causing this is since it seems to happen at work more than elsewhere, and my work is based in Glendale Wisconsin, that the system automatically sees Glendale, and assumes it's Arizona instead of Wisconsin.

Seems illogical...but it's the only reason I can think of why this might be happening.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dirty_johnny:
first, some facts:

1 - people (devs) are working on these projects in their free time - they are not paid

2 - they do not have to share their work with anyone

3 - all code on this site is optional - you do not have to download or use it

4 - to really get the code working the devs need testers and feedback

5 - testing and feedback requires time and effort

There is a distinction between a tester and a user. A tester will generally start from a known baseline, add whatever specific changes a dev wants and then run that code. If the code breaks, they will try to repeat that problem. While repeating it they will activate logging software and meticulously record the steps leading to the break. If it breaks again during the repeat they then file a bug report (with log outputs) to the dev's thread. The dev can then look and see what went wrong and try to improve the code. There is a specific process associated with doing all this and it does require a certain type of knowledge.

A user generally just wants usable and well working code. They either don't have the training or desire to test or develop. The 'stable' code is included in the major releases. This is not perfect code, only code that has fairly well defined issues. At release these issues are generally identified. Users have jobs too. Their job is to provide motivational support to keep the developers interested. They are the fanbase.

Think of the developers as a music group or a director or a writer. The testers are their focus groups, editors, and producers that provide direct, detailed, and actionable feedback. The Users are the fans, enjoying the art, movie, book, code whatever. If a user didn't like a band, movie, or book - or the people who generated these things, they should not read, watch or listen to said item. In other words, the developer is putting something out there for enjoyment to the Users - not for feedback from the users unless they specifically ask for it. If this was a concert, book signing, movie theater - all the people making trouble would be escorted out by security.

In the commercial world the devs and testers are paid with money by the users. In the volunteer / free world the only currency is your appreciation. In other words, if a user chooses to download and use code, they should express their undying gratitude, or delete said code and move on with their lives. Users repeatedly having a certain issue or outright attacking a volunteer dev or tester is unwelcome and unwarranted. These type of actions create negative feelings and decrease the likelihood of any additional work being done on this project. There's a saying that goes along with this. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
This problem has been reported before, search google for error unrevoked gives you.

Make sure you UNINSTALLED htc sync.

Make sure you untick "disable security" in unrevoked before running it. (file-disable security or smth like that)

Run unrevoked

If that doesn't work, factory reset you phone, and follow instructions above again.

One last solution I've seen was to use unrevoked 3.2xx (google is your friend), BUT it's been reported that 3.2xx is not very stable, and there is high risk of bricking your device. You've been warned.

But again, people reported that this was how they managed to root.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fantasysage:
So I just got a refurb tab from AT&T for 200 bucks. It works fine but I want to root it and install some cfw but it is comically locked down. The allow untrusted sources button just isn't there, usb debugging is greyed out, and that Kies software wont recognize the phone no matter what I do.

Also, the 3g is really spotty on it, but that is besides the point.

Any idea what I can do here? I want to install the Overcome rom but it is hard to start if I can't get past steps 1, 2 and 3 due to the nature of my Tab! This will be my first time playing around with rooting an android device fwiw. I own an IDEOS which I use for my phone and that was my first android device a month or so ago.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredshoes:
I got this tab as well and have been able to root and flash Overcome GB without any problems.

For the Kies software, you should download and install it first before plugging it in. Once its installed, you can plug it in and the drivers should be installed. At first, Kies won't recognize it, so you might have to restart your computer for the drivers to work. Once the drivers are installed, you should be able to use SuperOneClick to root then follow the overcome instructions to flash.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fantasysage:
How about the bootloader? It says to check if it is locked down but I can run the apk in my tab. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodredshoes:
You should root the tab first and use SuperOneClick to do the non-market apps fix. If the root and non-market app fix is successful, reboot your tab and it should allow apps from unknown sources. From there, you should be able to download and run the bootloader checker apk then follow the overcome instructions to flash.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fantasysage:
So I got it flashed and set up. Works great. But not my 3g that was kind of off and on just won't work at all!

[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Just thought I would share pictures of what I did. I have like 10 different colors of jelly cases I use and only one of them went with the red accents on the phone. So I sanded down the camera ring to remove the red anodizing and then polished it to a mirror finish. And I painted the red plastic under the kickstands a gloss black. Looks good with my white and black back now, and looks tons better with all my cases.

CLICK ON THE PICTURE FOR TONS OF PICTURES LOL

I think it should have came like this in the first place, not everyone is a fan of red.... and if you live in Chicago you might get shot for sporting a black and red phone lololol.

Things you will need

800-2000 grit sandpapers

masking tape

Olfa razor knife

Krylon Fusion Black Gloss spray paint - Must be this brand if you want it to be permanent

Headlight polishing kit from an autoparts store (not what i used, but close enough it would work exactly the same, not everyone has a polishing kit laying around like I do)

What to do

Take battery cover and battery off phone

Pry camera ring off with your fingernails, it comes off ridiculously easy

Tape off entire phone for work on the kickstand area

Use multiple layers of straight tape around the ends of the kickstand recess, rather than trying to bend or curve the tape.

Rough up the kickstand recess with 800grit to make sure the paint has something to better adhere to

Spray light coats until you are satisfied, 8 minutes between coats, 2 hrs after final coat

Cut around recess very exactly and carefully with a very sharp blade like an Olfa to make sure the paint doesn't peel when removing the tape.

Take all the tape off of the phone

After 24 hrs you may lower your kickstand, until then keep it up. the paint will feel dry way before then, but you WILL DENT IT by lowering the kickstand and keeping it down.

After the 24 hours tape off the entire phone again including the freshly painted area

Sand the kickstand and camera ring with 1500-2000grit

Make sure all of the pink and weird color under it is gone from the camera ring and all of the brushed lines are gone from the kickstand

Polish with just the foam pad and water from the headlight lens polishing kit.

It will look like glass

Polish any tiny scratches out by hand with a microfiber and some sort of polishing compound. I used novus heavy scratch remover as it is very gently and made for hard acrylics, some of which are harder than his aluminum for sure.

Ask me any questions, it is late and I might have left some stuff out lol.

[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Just a joke about the black and red prominance of vice lords - a street gang in bad Chicago neighborhoods. I don't know how popular vicelords are now days. It might have been a 90s thing.

Thanks for the comments everyone, the camera ring is VERY soft aluminum so removing the anodizing is very easy and polishing took less than five minutes. I used 800 grit to remove the anodizing, but it had been used before and it worked more in the range of 1000 to 1200 and then just a foam polishing pad on a high speed drill and a little water for first Polish and microfiber by hand with a little acrylic Polish for final mirroring.

The part under the kickstands, I took the battery cover off and taped off the entire phone with masking tape paying special attention to the edges around the kickstands area. Then sprayed with krylon fusion gloss black. Make sure you put multiple layers of tape on the entire phone so spray dust doest get in any crevices. Use automotive masking tape for around the kickstands recess so it makes a clean edge when you remove it. Sand cut the paint with an olfa razor before peeling it off or it might peel the paint where you want it to stick.

Yea...I did it a few hours ago. Its my pic...and painting the kick stand area doesn't affect it at all. Feels the same.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
It will feel different and will be sticky for like a day make sure to keep your kickstand up for 24hrs after painting to make sure you dont dent the paint. it will feel completely dry, but will dent very easily for a day,

glad I could inspire you sam LOL. Sand that ring a little more and then buff it like crazy. I ended up polishing my kickstand too.

And I got moar pics up in the original post.
[EVO 4G General] JGW310:
nice job. it looks good... how long did this entire process take?
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
I got it done in about an hour one night, and then the next night took me about 15 minutes. The hour was for the painting, multiple coats. Polishing only took 15.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, if you wear out the adhesive under the camera ring tiny droplets of any silicone adhesive will work fine, just make sure you don't put too much so it doesn't seep out. And if it does, since it is silicone adhesive you can just rub it and ball it up to get rid of it.
[EVO 4G General] JGW310:
would using a blow drier dry the paint faster so i wouldnt have to wait 24 hrs??? and what do you mean by the "kickstand recess"???

nail polish :)

i (read: my gf) sanded the trim to get it rough and then used dark red polish on mine. it turned out pretty well, though it was more of a quick job at the time and i wasnt going for perfection. after about 8 months it started chipping (also, i dropped it) so i sanded another trim down fully. i agree that the reds too bright. ill probably have her repaint it again, or might try some spray paint. i had tried that first (walmart had a good red, plastic paint) but didnt prep the surface so it didnt stick. im thinking that with sanding itd be good

[Continuum General] TraMaI:
I posted all of this in the 2.2 thread, but I feel it's enough of it's own cause to not get buried in 8 pages of a thread. I think this needs to be up where everyone can see it without looking

A recent press release from Samsung says that the Samsung Galaxy S phones are getting Gingerbread (Android 2.3) in mid-May. I'm not sure about you guys but I was excited that we could be getting 2.3 right out instead of waiting for 2.2 and then 2.3, so I decided to go to their chat support and ask about it. Here's the chat log:

There are 3 big things to this.

1) We won't get 2.3 until we get at least 2.2, so the press release does not cover the continuum.

2) They've MADE THE UPDATE TO 2.2 FOR THE CONTINUUM BUT HAVE NOT RELEASED IT. I don't know about you guys, but that is absolutely INFURIATING to me.

3) There is a way to let our voices be heard. It worked for the Fascinate users. Call them at that number in the last bold part.

Samsung Customer Care at 1-888-987-4357, Mon-Fri: 7 AM - 9 PM (CST), Sat: 9 AM - 6 PM (CST) to check if any help in this regard and to file a request for update

We ALL need to do this. All of us need to chip in and call them and file to get this update released. It's ridiculous that the update is there, they just aren't releasing it. DO NOT LET THEM FORGET THAT WE SPENT OUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT AND THEY NEED TO SUPPORT IT. Call the line, ask about the update, tell them you're dissatisfied, angry whatever but get that report filed and let's get that update OUT!!!
[Continuum General] Weudel:
Yes, the update is made but not released. That's been established before now. That means rubert the current roadblock is Verizon's testing and scheduling the OTA. At this point, there isn't much that Samsung can do. The pressure needs to be applied to Verizon.
