[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolturnip:
Hi

I just updated from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 (with bootloaders) and when I unlock my phone the background stays black and all i can see is the Launcher pro icons at the bottom of the screen. I've tried hard / soft resets, factory resets etc and it still happens.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Cheers

I dont know why, but you should

Flash 2.2 stock rom with bootloaders w/ Odin

Then flash this

Hi Guys

We've just got this phone fom the carphone warehouse, believe it's unlocked etc and believed that froyo 2.2 was out.

Kies, latest version doesn't seem to think so!

where are we going wrong?

cheers, B
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
I'm pretty sure it's out for Orange, however if I was you I would just flash one without a bootloader.
[Galaxy 3 General] BuboBriff:
Hi dilzo, ah ok thanks, how disappointing :\ - at the risk of everyone jumping down a (relatively) noob's neck (quite technical though but never flashed phones outside of manufacturers processes!) - any advice on where to start? :)
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Firstly download any of these European firmwares they're completely safe so it won't damage your phone.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063940

I recommend XWJPF.

Once you've downloaded your firmware at the bottem of the first post you should see "flashing tools" download it and when you're done go to this thread and follow the steps

Is it just mines or does it take like 4 to 5 hours to charge the battery on this phone... Even either a rapid charger
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bragOS:
My first charge also took a long time. Probably close to 4 hours. Hopefully, this doesnt persist.

Chika Da China Da Chinese Chicken?

Every phone thread I have looked through states the same thing about all phones like ours.

New phones, wiped batt stats or newly flashed custom roms.

It takes a few cycles for the phone to create near perfect battery stats. It's not so much that it isn't actually charged in an hour or two. We are all looking at "statistics" produced by the software.

We all know how inaccurate software can be at times right Bill G? :D:D:D:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lafastfords:
Ok but how do u explain battery loss when the device is plugged in and in use...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slappyjoker:
Chika Da China Da Chinese Chicken?

Check the output of the charger.

So many variables. Wall direct plug charger charges quicker than a USB plug. USB plug charges better than a car charger. Check the 'ma' output and see if its like 500 or so. If so then you are basically charging at an equal or slower rate than the use of the same power.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Papi4baby:
Glad to see i was not the only one.

I had a similar problem. I swap it out 4 days into the original and the new one is day and night difference. Either something hardware wise was messed up or the battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] krantiredeyes:
What should be the battery life according to the specs? If I use internet radio all the time, the phone stays for around 7-8 hours. Is that a good battery or a faulty one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Yes battery drains when using it while charging, so
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lafastfords:
So you are ok when u are at 95%, then plug your car charger in, use it for the gps and music, drive for a hour then when u unplug it your at 60%... ????
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Yes I notice that too, what it did was when driving, using the navigation and playing music at the same time I turn off the display, so it can still charge.

The problem imo is the built-in usb on my toyota Venza is just outputing 5v and 500mAp or less, so I remember I bought a usb car charger on ebay that output 1amp so now even I turned on the screen while navigating and playing music on my phone, it's now charging. And I dont even use the original ac charger 700mAp, I use a 1Amp generic $2 usb charger which I bought from ebay on way back last year now I can charge my phone for over 2hr compare to almost 4hrs. Hope it helps you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
To be honest, the infuse does have quite a large battery, though maybe not as large as an atrix, but the charger is very low power. And I also don't really consider 4 hours a long charge time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ap3604:
Wall-chargers that have the data cable plug into it are notoriously slow for me.

The best/fastest ones I've ever had were the HTC Nexus One dedicated wall-charger (no data cable plug-in... just a straight wall charger) and the Apple iPhone charger.

Might just be that the Wall charger is slow as hell. Try one of the two above and see if its still slow at charging.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lafastfords:
Yea i have the same... 1amp car charger... I work at radioshack and we have a 2.5amp car charger so ima try that one
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cmjkxa:
Is that even safe to use on the phone? Serious question.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SuperDeform:
Not.jus the infuse but some other phones i use
[Samsung Infuse 4G] phxblue:
Ive owned the Nexus S, Vibrant, Epic 4G, Fascinate, And now the Infuse. All have charged slower than molasses regardless the charger ive used. Its always been my understanding that this was a Samsung software/hardware design for some odd reason. Hopefully ive been wrong and theres a way around it cuz it drives me bonkers. Forget ever charging it on your computer if you dont have several hours to spare.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrisyou:
This is my biggest complaint. My older truck doesn't have a cigarette lighter, but I do have a Kenwood deck with a USB port. The deck doesn't provide enough juice to charge the infuse while using GPS. I still love the phone though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Can you follow up it the 2.5 anp is.better?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Buy an extra battery on ebay, 2 pcs and it comes with it's own charger too,$12 only 1500mAp tho
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
believe it or not, if you want a very small but powerful charger, buy an iphone 4 charger.

I'm having some issues installing Phiremod, and I was hoping someone could help.

I followed the instructions and made a CWM bootable SD. Booted in to CWM, and then cleared/formated the appropriate directories. Then chose the ZIP from SD and installed . Come sback with Install from sdcard complete. However, now when I try to boot it gets to the Blue Android man with a blue circle going around and around, and just hangs there. I've let it go about half an hour. Also, I tried to go back into cwm and re-do the install, and now when I try to format /Data I get an error. Thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
Has anyone else had issues with waking up the phone?

Every so often when I hit the power button to wake the phone, the screen turns on but looks super glitchy for a second or so, then shows the normal unlock screen.

When I unlock the phone, it instantly turns the screen black. The phone is still "on" as I can push icons, etc. If i push home the phone still vibrates but the screen will not "re-awake" unless I push the power off and on again. This has been happening quite a bit and is annoying to say the least. I also seem to be having in phone calls with the light sensor as the screen goes black just as I am about to push push buttons while I am in a call.

Is this just me or are others affected by this. I didn't see this issue discussed within all the other reboot/glitches threads.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Mine is a little lagy when unlocking and occasionally I get a weird squiggly looking screen for a moment, then it is fine.

I assumed it was because I have a SetCPU profile set to 216 with a priority of 100 when the screen is off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RevenG:
Mine when I unlock it it stays on the lock screen. The phone is still "unlocked", but it shows the lock screen and it doesn't change no matter how many times I lock and unlock. It is very annoying. I got it on CM7, Bionix, and the GB leak. I went back to stock 2.2.2 just because of this reason. Anyone know what it could be?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I just went back to 2.2.2 for that and many other reasons.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smnc:
Hi,

Alright, so as evidenced:

Here,

here

and here,

there seems to be some interest in porting Android to the Venue Pro.

So, let me be the first to put my money where my mouth is. I'm hoping others will join me.

Here's what the bounty is for:

A fully working version of Android 2.2 (minimum), preferably CyanogenMod 7/Gingerbread.

Either fully replacing the stock WP7 or a dual-boot with both is fine with me.

It needs to have all hardware working, including the slide-out keyboard.

Considering that the hardware is supposedly very similar to the Dell Venue (non-Pro), it should be do-able.

I'm putting up $150 cash (already in my PayPal account) plus an additional $50 towards a Dell Venue Pro or Dell Venue (non-Pro) should the dev(s) require it.

*Update*

Thanks for everyone throwing your support behind this! Hopefully we can get a dev involved, with over $300 on the table.

*Update 2*

Holy crap! I never thought we would be creeping up to $600

Sorry I've been away, but I'm back now.

So, I have talked to a couple devs informally and I have been informed that if we want this to happen, the simplest way would be to find QDL mode on the phone. For those of you who don't know, QDL mode is a hardware write mode that lets software on your PC completely modify the Flash ROM on the phone. It is veryvsimilar to the nvflash mode on Tegra2 devices. It's supposedly universal to all modern Qualcomm Snapdragon based devices, like our Venue Pros, unless Microsoft Somehow disabled it.

I have been unable to find a way on my Venue Pro, but it may be possible.

Basically it should be some combination of buttons while powering on the phone, or possibly a button combination while plugging in the phone to USB connected to a PC while the phone is powered off.

If it works, the phone would show up in device manager on your PC as "unknown device" or "qualcomm modem" depending on weather you have the QDL drivers installed.

If it shows up as "Dell Venue Pro", then you're not in QDL mode.

If anyone can get their phone to boot in any kind if non-standard mode, please let me know.

*UPDATE 3*

The leak of the service manual is a huge step, but now we have to eagerly await the release of the service tools.

With the service tools it should be possible to load anything we want on to the DVP.

Total updated too. A nice round $700.

*UPDATE 4* Wow, over $800!

I own HTC Desire Z wich is great, but wow, the DVP is stunning! I love the way it looks and feels in the hand, and shockingly the keyboard is the best I've seen, even better than Desire Z's one. (shock)

There's nothing like it on the market, but WM7 is a deal breaker. That's why if someone ports Android on DVP, I sell my Desire Z in a heartbeat and go buy a Venue Pro!

I would add $30 to see a fully functional and stable 2.3 ROM (preferably CyanogenMod 7/Gingerbread) on Dell Venue Pro. I don't care for deal-boot - all a need is Android!

So please, someone, do it!

I'm putting up another $50 to see a fully functional Android version on the Venue Pro.

I ordered this phone, unlocked it and plugged it into the USB jack to find out it wouldn't sync to outlook and doesn't even have tasks. What's up wiht that???

I'm dropping Windows, but don't want to drop the Venue Pro. It's a greatly functional phone (hardware), but needs some software at the same level.

Please, somebody, anybody who knows what they're doing, look into creating an Android version (recent) for the Venue Pro.

If someone runs with it, I'm in $40. You can pick up unlocked DVP's new for $300 or less. Most likely switching to tmob soon provided they get 4g at my house in the near future. I can't even break 512kb down. Odd. The only "phones" that are appealing are the Droid 3 coming to Bell and the DVP. Need a good keyboard and the 4g Slide just isn't it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] theadamt:
4g on DVP?

So is the DVP capable of 4g on T-MO? I thought it was just able to get Edge on T-MO.:confused:

---------

Also, regardless, put me down for $30 if this gets done. I would love to get a DVP w/ some Android goodness. I have a Vibrant to the max, which I love, but I've been craving a nice phone w/ a keyboard and the DVP looks beautiful.:cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dbpaddler:
Don't know and didn't mean to infer it did. I use a hot spot at home quite a bit and will be playing with multiple phones incuding the mt4gs. So crap coverage at home in an area known for good coverage is one of my selfish dealbreakers in moving the account.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] savagecabage:
yes please

i wouldnt say no to donating a bit of money for this!

i have been thinking of getting a wp7, mainly for the zune side of it, but the only problem then would be that most of the time id end up bringing my android with me as well since there is a load of things i need on that.

but this would be a good compromise, at least if i really needed to do some android stuff i could just boot into it.

whats about the internal storage on the dell venue pro?

will android be running on the sd card if its dual boot or will both wp7 and android have to fit on the 1GB internal space?

i think im a bit spoiled with the milestone 2 with 8gb internal, its nice being able to install stuff all you want and not worry about it filling up

anyway count me in if it happens $40!

I cant believe not one developer has even stated "were working on it" or if its too tough to do then tell us why it cant be done. I just feel like after all this money was offered no one has the decency to respond to this request after so long. I think it should be easy with a Dell Venue to work off of and a lot of money has been offered.

anyone thought of replacing the motherboard with the regular venue motherboard? should be as simple as that, then building the hardware keyboard support form there should be doable. i know i can do the hardware side, but the software side is out of my power. cost of both new is $269+$314=$583.
