[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanpen:
after unlocking, rooting with gfree and debranding i can put a nextel sim and the banner on top of the screen reads Nextel. i went to contacts and it has selection for Iden contacts. has anyone else tried this cuz i am curious if this phone can actually use a nextel sim. I know even though its a sim card that iden and gsm are totally different but it has nextel on the top of the screen and goes to iden contacts, because my nextel has been cut off years ago i cant try a test call. Can someone, anyone verify this on their g2 if a nextel or maybe boost sim is in reach to use. i am very curious.

You stopped using nextel years ago right? What does it matter? You planning on going back? Why
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanpen:
Just was curious because that would make this phone worth a lot of money on ebay. Would sell it high, buy another G2 for a good low price , root, unlock, debrand, and repeat the process over and over again. Would even replace the spring again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fpssiz:
OK my Epic with Viper 5.0 will not flash Rodderick's Genocide Kernel. I was able to zip install on CW 2. whatever, with viper running and saw a huge difference in batt life over just the rom.Now that I have switched to EXT4 and CW 3.0 I get install aborted over and over. Could this be because the rom already has the kernel built in the rom and installed in or am I doing or missing something in the wrong?

My main reason for asking this is back when I was on RFS I did not have a problem with flashing any kernel and getting at the very least with heavy use a good day and a half of up time on the batt. Now its 3/4 if not less with heavy use on my current config.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dr0maz:
It almost sounds like the zip u downloaded is not for CWM 3.x. But I know for a fact I installed Genocide using CWM 3.x so it should exist. Have you tried redownloading it? Maybe its messed up.?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fpssiz:
I have tired another dl but still the same result. What gives. I guess its the matter of it the rom comes with the kernel that could be causing the issue too right?

I saw on XDA that the Netherlands didn't have a android 2.2 update.

I asked Samsung Netherlands, they confirmed and also said it wasn't sure there ever will be one...

Yesterday is decided to flash my phone with a europe-version. The cyanogenmodversion came in a loop, so i searched further...

hotfile (downloadsite) gave an error (said i was downloading, but the download broke so after that i couldn't download via this site (samfrmware uses it).

googled for the same file (I5500XWJPJ), found it but after the dowload the package contained... I5500NEEJP3 (which is originally for Sweden).

I flashed my phone anyway and... strangely it worked perfect!!

rooted it with UniversalAndroot and after that had a perfect working rooted phone!

Amazing discovery: my phone has Dutch language, swipe is also in Dutch!

How can this be? And why don't they release this version as working 2.2 via KIES?

Hello!

Is there a "complete idiots" guide to updating the Galaxy 5? I am a total newbie in regards to this stuff. I live in the USA.

I just bought this phone to use while travlling overseas in a few weeks. It is unlocked, and I was able to download Kies from the Australian samsung website.

Phone connects, but it says "This is the latest Firmware"

PDA:JK3/Phone:jk3/csc:jk3 (TPH).

sellout sms: off

Pcode: gt-i5500cwatph (Portigal)

mode: test

How do I get it download the 2.2 update?

Did I do something wrong?

Do I have to configure Kies somehow to think it is not in the USA?

I have yet to pick a country store in Kies.

Also, when I gointo Kies options, there is place to "download firmware automatically", I have checked the box, but there is not any phone listed in the area where the phone should be, even with the phone connected.

I have not put in a SIM card yet, but put in a micro SD card.

Does anyone know what the "...CWATPH " Stands for?

All the other phone codes start with " YK"

See my post above ...

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] X301:
While Im Portuguese I Dont live in Portugal so I have no idea... BUT

TPH is for Portugal I have no idea what the other letters stand for.

My phone now upgraded to official froyo via KIES says Product code is GT-I5500YKACPW so my educated guess is that perhaps its related to your Firmware version?

This all depends where you purchased the phone for instance if you bought it unlocked you didn't buy it from a Vodafone store nor a TMN store nor a Optimus store... This is because by rule of thumb These are network providers and They 99% of the time don't sell unlocked mobiles... Same here in UK where I live.

Those extra characters could be all attached to the special identifier firmware for this company... Or date year time of manufacture.

In UK you have companies that sell phones unlocked but always with a network sim as part of the deal, for instance mine was bought in Car phone warehouse with a orange network sim (though i use it on O2.

Another company that sells phones like that in UK is Phones4U I haven't a clew what their identifier would be like, only you know where and who you purchased the mobile from.... Hopefully from legal proper retailer....

My phone retailer code is CPW your is TPH I haven't been to Portugal in 6 years so idk who that is.

Also your KIES Upgrades phones hopefully by their codes not what country they are connecting from, if this is not a case try a proxy.

Its quite possible that whoever company sold you the phone has not released the froyo officially. It took CPW = car phone warehouse 6+ months after all other networks had released froyo officially.

You can:

A) make a backup of your current firmware

B) Flash froyo using a 3rd party tool

C) try to email the company who sold you the phone and find out.

But always backup your original firmware.... whatever you do.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] sksahai:
I think I may have figured it out. On a few samsung devices and tablets, the "cwa" is followed by the phrase "chic white".

So I think that the cwa stands for the white casing on the phone ( which is mine).

I got the phone from a local no name dealer, and the box was a bit beat up. I verified that the phone worked, but I just assumed it would be upgradeable to 2.2. I don't know the history of this phone or where it came from, the "cwa" shows up on a bunch f russian websites, which I can't read.

It would be nice to upgrade it, but I don't want to risk ruining the phone.

I can't even figure out how toback up the firmware. I am a total newbie at this kind of thing.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] X301:
Well google and read a lot, google also does webtranslators so you can translate whole websites, Im also a noob...

As far as I know these mobiles only made in two colors yet the codes for black vary so I thinks its a firmware identifier, but again idk they certanly dont follow any case colors.

I just looked at this post

that above links explain how to flash but not how to back up...

I5500XWJPJ

I5500XWJPL

I5508ZCKP2

I5500XWJP9

I5500LUYJP2

I5500XWJJ6

I5500XWJH4

I5500XWJI1

I5500XWJI2

and then looked at this thread we are in as well

If there is a firmware able backup tool I have no idea, but only backup if you going to flash with a non official rom. Heck in your case does it even matter? The phone was purchased in Portugal and your in USA are you going to fly to Portugal for warranty reasons? Just postage you can go buy a new one...

Im pretty sure thers shops that you can go and give someone a few dollars to fix your phone for you if you bugger it up.

Within a day or two the complete ROM library will be back online, so, please, be patient!

I do not plan to make more updates to this firmware list as Samsung itself seems to have stopped updating the Galaxy Europa device. There are five or more months without a single update of the device from KIES, no matter that the phone is still being sold by mobile operators.

Hi chillvisio, I updated my wife galaxy 5 I5500B with the JP9/JP6/JP9 rom ... the phone was unlocked (from Fastshop store) without any operator trash, so I used this rom that seems to be the retail one ... now the phone is waking up from time to time when it is in standby ... the screen turns on and off without any user intervention ... this seems to be a bug but I didn't found any possible solution ... the battery consumption increased a lot and I suspect that this bug that is generating this problem. Do you have any idea how to fix it ?

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] chillvisio:
Olá, daniel_ar,

feel free to try some other ROM, for example the I5500L ARO version (UYJPO). Brazilian version is pre-loaded with some 'extra' apps and some of them may have battery draining issues. I am using the UYJPO version flashed with Brazilian baseband over it and rooted with SuperOneClick and have no battery draining issues. The I5500L version also feature Português do Brasil translation ;-)

P.S. How about the battery draining issues, I've also noticed that some very useful applications like AdFree and LBE Privacy Guard are also draining battery. If you still have battery draining issues after reinstalling with UYJPO version you may reset phone to factory settings and start installing your additional apps one after another with some 6-7 hours gaps between them and test which one is draining your battery.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] codumon:
I have a need for tracking my vehicles remotely in case of theft. I have tried Lojack which failed miserably because after the thief deactivates the unit there is no way to recover the vehicle. There is a buffer time between finding the vehicle stolen and being able to activate Lojack of about 3 hours, which is plenty enough time to search the vehicle and deactivate the unit. The best solution is something that records the location of the vehicle to a remote server. The location log can be viewed even after the unit on the vehicle is deactivated which should show the location of the chop shop, garage, etc.

The most reliable and user-friendly product available is a cell phone using Google Latitude wired into the vehicle’s constant 12V+ using a car charger. Google Latitude Location History must be enabled so all past logged locations are viewable with a timestamp on a map.

Some downsides to Google Latitude are:

Location update intervals not configurable

Android OS has many unneeded features that waste battery

Android phones last 8 hours max when GPS tracking set to update every 10 minutes and with sync disabled and never turning on the screen (based on my tests with various Android phones after fully charging the batteries)

Proposed Solution:

Strip the Android OS down to bare minimum (linux kernel, no GUI, only cellular and GPS support) with configurable location update frequency that updates to Google Latitude. This would be a dedicated tracking device not usable as a normal phone, but should extend battery life.

Questions I have:

How many people would be interested in testing/using this customized OS?

Do people with experience customizing Android think this is worthwhile?

Is anything like this already being worked on?

Would anyone be willing to help me when I need an experienced guide?

I’m not interested in charging money and will release the source code.

Update:

Latify for Android updates the phone's current location using the Google Latitude API and lets you set the update interval and can auto-start when the phone is turned on. Latify makes a dedicated tracking OS less important but I'm still curious what the community thinks of the idea.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias666:
Hey,

Ive just bought a acer Iconia a500 recently, every thing seemed ok until recently. Owned it about a week or so.

Basically my router (netgear wnr2000) is in my room upstairs, if im in that room everything is fine browsing etc.

However the minute I move away from that room the signal strength drops down, which is normal. But if i go downstairs to the living room, the connection is unusable, then it drops out takes a few mins to reconnect etc.

I've never had any problems before with any wireless devices ive got in that room, the xbox is in there currently and plays on Live fine etc. Ive got 3 laptops, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S, 2 iPod touches etc so I dont believe its a router issue.

Ive had a play round with the router settings just incase, put on unused channels etc

Anyone else had any similar experiences? Anyone found any fixes?

Thank

yes take it back. Mine did this out of the box on the living room i dint had any wifi i had to be near the router in my room to have any internet. Just to be sure of things get wifi eye or something like that from the market and watch the signal if it goes un and down like crazy its the A500 :mad:
