[Galaxy S I9000 General] mikeypoo88:
I hate to post a thread like this, but after searching and basically pulling my hair out, I've decided it was time.

Anyway, as title suggests I have an I9000m with the 2.2 UGJL2 *Typo in title, sorry!!*

Heres the problem with the phone...

Its a bell phone, unrooted or modified. Its running 2.2 JL2. When used with an bell SIM it will dial out and receive, receive texts, send them. However it won't receive picture messages, well it receives but just says downloading (and the plan does have it)

It also won't connect to the mobile network. If I manually set APN it does, but then its ability to call out is brutal for some reason. Also I threw my virgin mobile sim in it, set apn and it would go onto the internet no problem, but calling and text suffered big time.

It also seems to lag huge all the time, it'll freeze, you hit the center button and it just takes screen shots.

Its a refurb phone if that helps. Its actually my gfs phone, I picked her up a HTC incredible S... she says if we can fix the old one she kinda wants the samsung back.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried a factory reset to see if that fixes the problems? That would be the best starting point.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mikeypoo88:
Been done twice. Also have had two new sim cards installed aswell. I figured before I tried rooting it would be best to consult you guys. Is it possible that there's a hardware issue?

Thanks

Mike
[Galaxy S I9000 General] radeon_x:
Based on your description it doesn't sound like a hardware issue, but no way to know for sure.

I think your next best bet would be to try reflashing JL2 (or KC1 even) using Odin; as long as you can get to download mode via the 3 button combo. If you're still having problems after that then probably it is hardware.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mikeypoo88:
Got er fixed. After I put the phone down and enjoyed a beer for a bit, I went back and basically wiped the phone clean, I think I did it 3 times in a row, using both the 3 button download mode one, and two different ones than can be accessed via the dialer. After doing that I retryed the APN settings again and ALAS it finally worked correctly. Its now connecting to the HSDPA and is also downloading MMS messages like it should. Its also yet to lag again. I'm assuming it was an app that was causing that aswell.

Regardless, the misses is happy, I might keep the Incredible S (currently have the HTC legend, lovely phone, but it does feel under powered compared to the I9000 and the Incredible S)

Sometimes I think a guy has gotta step back and relax for a minute lol!!

Thanks again

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhineramirez:
I recently installed Tesla Coil 1.7 and am having no problems with it whatsoever. The ROM is amazing.

However, I am having some interface issues that I am getting extremely frustrated with and cannot seem to fix no matter what I do.

The Wallpaper that comes with Tesla Coil (the android holding lightning) keeps disappearing and my old original wallpaper seems to keep popping up.

I have tried everything from deleting previous back-ups through ROM manager and as well as uninstalling apps but to no avail, I seem to have the same problem.

I have flashed the ROM 3x now and cannot seem to shake the issue.

Does anyone have any ideas/feedback?

I have even deleted the original picture off of my SD card but it keeps popping back up for some unknown reason.

P.S:

Until I connect to the Market, I don't have the problem, the wallpaper stays. When I connect to the Market and all my old apps start downloading the wallpaper changes.

I made a back up in recovery with nandroid but I deleted it in ROM Manager.

Thanks for the help.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateskates:
I'm led to believe that you can't flash any kernel with any ROM. Is this true, or can I flash any Vibrant kernel with any ROM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
Yes its true. You can flash any rom/kernel combo of the same os such as froyo/froyo or gingerbread/gingerbread with the exception of MIUI and CM7 kernel which will only work for those roms.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateskates:
So say for example, if I were to flash the Platypus kernel while on MIUI 1.5.27, it wouldn't be a problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
as long as the kernel is labeled with CM7/MIUI in the title, then it's safe to flash to a CM7/Miui rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateskates:
OK thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nateskates:
How would I flash a kernel in recovery? Do I rename the kernel to "update.zip" or just leave it as is and "install zip from sdcard"?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laylovj:
clockwork recovery?

if so then it doesn't really matter
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Name will be irrelevant when you flash from recovery. As you stated, just go to Install from Zip, then Choose Zip file, then pick it out. No specific name is required. "update.zip" is only required when you are trying to initially flash CWM Recovery onto your phone. Otherwise, files for ROMs, Kernels, Modems, etc. can have whatever name as long as they are a .zip file.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickbird144:
I recently cracked my screen and I noticed looking around there are different ribbons for screens. Does this go by hardware number or just the manufactures mood that day?

I've seen some relatively low ones that sold on eBay with from great rated sellers. And have done my homework on the process and looks fairly easy since I've done a few iPhone screens. Thanks for any help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
The most sure-fire way to tell would be to take the phone apart and see which type of cable you have.

Edit: I did some googling hoping to at least find out if maybe the wide ribbon vs narrow ribbon was an epson/novatek differentiation, but came up empty. It may well be a batch-by-batch sort of thing. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
I have taken a few of these apart and there is no way of knowing unless you take the board apart. I have seen xa, xb, and c boards all with wide and skinny cables. Take it apartand make sure you take out the sd card first and just look under the serial number sticker and look at the ribbon on the bottom of the board and thats it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickbird144:
Thanks to the both of you. Will be pulling my phone apart shortly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cares:

[Xoom General] Kippui:
1. I'm assuming the best way to get to 3.1 with a custom kernel is to unlock and flash recovery as soon as I get it then use the update.zip method by BRD.

2. Does Hulu work for free through flash?

3. Does the grooveshark app work?
[Xoom General] chbennett:
1) that would work (and is probably the best idea in the face of the unknown boot loader patch), but you could always just go the OTA route. (if it doesn't already have 3.1 on it, I don't know if it ships with it/activates with it now)

2) Hulu works on and off if you get/make a modified version of flash and fix your user agent to state Desktop. there are quite a few threads about this.

3) Grooveshark looks like a no go for me. But I encourage you to try it when you get your Xoom.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
ok thanks

I think I might go grab myself a 32gb microsd card for it for 64gb of space.

Grooveshark not working is a huge bummer and I hope they update it for tablets because I only use GS for internal music.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dyskmaster:
Well, something very odd just happened to my samsung focus (at&t) when I rebooted it. After the samsung screen shows, a pure red screen shows up for about 2 seconds and then it goes black. when I push the power button (or hold it) it simply goes back to the red screen again! Naturally, I thought to battery pull which simply put it back onto the samsung screen only to then go back to the red screen again.

I then thought 'maybe this is some sort of glitched state that it is in (it does seem to be stable in this state of redness, the capacitive buttons seem to give haptic feedback when pressed and the power button turns the screen off and on) so I decided to battery pull again and then connect it to my pc to see if it would detect that the phone was in this special "mode". after the battery pull, the phone booted back as normal??? It had about 89% power according to the battery percentage app when I rebooted??

it is fine now, but WTF was that anyway??:confused::confused:

EDIT: ok, now it gets weirder, I got it to go into this state and quickly connected my usb cable to the computer and... zune pops up and it goes to that screen with the phone wanting to sync, but the phone being grayed out?? when I dragged a picture to my device, IT STARTED TO SYNC WITH DEVICE! It didn't even get an error and, after a successful reboot to the actual phone, THE PICTURE WAS ON MY DEVICE??? oh, and btw, it boots insainly fast when it is in redscreen mode...

i am now seriously confused beyond all hope:confused::eek:

Has happened to me 3 or 4 times in the last month, ever since I changed the values to fix the banding on my Samsung Focus.

Now that you mention it. I have the same RSOD problem with my Omnia 7 after the 32 colour bit hack. In my case it will happen after I have switch the phone off for the night and switch it back on in the morning. It's fine when the phone is switched off and on again.
