Guys...I have a quick question...well maybe 2...

(1) so my phone is having the same problem. Working one minute, then not the next and I can't get the phone to boot up at all. Is there any other way I could get it to boot...through USB to the PC, anything?

(2) So I got it into download mode, and it completed. Did that download everything from the phone to my pc? If so, where is that data and how will I get it back to my new phone?

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I haven't dove into things like this with the Samsung yet. Thanks!!!
[Epic 4G General] Beezer80:
Once you're in download mode use Odin for a fresh install.
[Epic 4G General] {Karnak}:
rockypr, If you haven't already remedied your issue, there is one thing you could try. The same thing happened to my phone, where it wouldn't even display the charging icon.

Remove your battery from your device, and hold down your power button as if to turn the device on (For about 3 seconds). I depressed the power button twice for 3 or so seconds, and replaced the battery. I then was able to get the phone into download mode, and used Odin to reflash the OS. Chances are, your image is corrupted as well, possibly the reason you're here in the first place.

What this does is purge the power from any capacitors in your phone, so that all volatile (meaning erased after shutdown, not malicious) memory is "erased".

Let me know if it works, if not, you may have a faulty battery, or the USB port on the mainboard may be damaged/defective.
[Epic 4G General] system155:
i had the same problem with my phone i got it to turn on by plug it in but it wouldn't do any thing off the battery and i try anther battery with no avail but one day it froze up and i unplug the charger and it started working but still isn't the same i would say to just get it back to stock ec05 and go turn it in and get a new one b/c if u get to work its never going to be the dam

Hi Guys, bought a sandisk 16 GB Card, i am trying to format the various partitions so far:

1. Using Clockwork it creates an unrecognised partition after FAT Partition

2. Tried Ubuntu - will format whole card in either FAT or EXT 2/3/4 but will not create an ext after the FAT Partition (again unknown partition format after FAT)

3. Tried minitool partition manager - Can fortmat whole card in either fat or EXT. Cannot create an EXT after FAT - Unknown partition format

4. Tried ADB, will create primary partition 1 but not an ext partition after

Card id new and i believe genuine

any help greatly appreciated

Otherwise flash amonra-recovery, create an ext2-partiton and upgrade this to an ext3-partition with this recovery.

Have you tried Rom Manager? I used that to partition my 16GB sandisk
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
I used Ubuntu and it worked fine. Did you unmount the partitions in Ubuntu ?

Did you format the partition after you've created it ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamadant:
Hi, thanks for the replies, yes i unmounted in ubuntu but i seem to only be able to create one (working) ext partition but it has to be the full card, or multiple Fat partitions. When i create an ext after the FAT32 partition all partition managers & ubuntu see the second partition as 'other' and it is full.

When creating an ext with ubuntu it indicates 'cannot mount invalid argument'.

I have not tried using AMON as i was unsure if it was dependent upon GSM or CDMA type phones and also any issues with Amoled or SLED (my desire is SLED).

Tried Rom Manager an it does not even attempt to create a partition, indicates complete but nothing when i view partitions with either partition managers or ubuntu.

Lastly, tried via ADB but again it threw an error when creating the second EXT Partition, it creates a partition of sorts but again unknown and full.

In all cases, i cannot format the ext partition with any tools i know - ubuntu, partition manager, Esaus, ADB

Never had this issue with my 8gb Nokia card

Many thanks for your help though guys & girls
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi,

i read you try to do this with adb.. did you try the folowing cmd?

Step 1: Connect your phone to your computer via USB. Reboot into recovery mode.

Command: adb shell reboot recovery (this will reboot your phone into Cyanogen’s recovery image. Or power on phone when holding home button)
Command: adb shell (type this after your phone has booted and on the recovery screen. it should take you to a # prompt)

Step 2: Open parted to partition your SD card.

Command: parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 (opens parted and mounts your SD card)

Step 3: Check the size and partitions of your SD card. The print command will display this info. You can see the size of my SD card is 7969 MB (8 GB). I have 1 partition which is fat32. If your SD card is blank and no partitions are listed, you can skip to Step 5.

Command: print (displays SD card information)

Step 4: Remove all existing partitions. If you have multiple partitions, remove each one at a time.

Command: rm 1 (deletes partition number 1)
Command: rm 2 (if needed. keep going till all partitions are removed)
Command: print (check when you are done to make sure all partitions are removed)

more info howTO parted there

hope this help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
The procedure should be this:

Insert SD, unmount. Create FAT, leave 1024, format FAT, format remaining as ext3/4.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamadant:
Many thanks, tried this procedure again with the error message SEGV_MAPPER (Address not mapped to object) Aborted when i try to create EXT 2

Lost now
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi,

i look up the reason of that error, seems to be a bug from some lib.c inherited by parted but those are mention around 2006 amazing...

i know that the tut mentin ext2 as ext partition but why didn't try ext3 before doing this u can check out what does your actually partition says with

# fdisk -lu /dev/block/mmcblk0

give back the report plz ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iryon:
I suggest Amon-RA recovery.

It's very simple and fast

p.s: i don't suggest using Rom Manager, too much trouble
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamadant:
Hi Thanks for your help, i tried to partition ext 2, 3 & 4 but get the same issue regardless of partition type. I believe that the card may be a fake as all the transferring from phone to usb card reader has started to make the branding 'rub off'.

Therefore, i have sent it back and will hopefully get a refund or replacement.

many thanks for your time & efforts

Hey!

I was on Froyomod, then I installed Ho!No! for a day, wiped everything, installed the Nandroid of the Arabic APAC version posted by Sileshn. I tried connecting my SD to my mac, but it couldnt, so I uninstalled task manager and it worked.

PROBLEM IS: However, one problem remains. ASTRO, TWEETDECK and WHATSAPP do not want to be moved to SD.

I tried deleting certain data from my sd and test, and my just have to format the entire SD. Any tips? These apps have to be moved due to the space they take!

Also, can I format an EXT partition on my SD card without having a memory card reader? Can I do it using the card while it is connecting to my phone?

Help!? Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
You will not be able to format the ext partition through your phone, as it does not have any customization options for formatting. You would need to use a memory card reader. You connected it to your Mac? Can't get a friend to loan you a memory card reader and use bootcamp or something for the partitioning tools for Sileshn's Ext tutorial? :p

Hey there taygutta, glad you could save these apps just in case.

Perhaps you could create a new post titled "Stock Sprint Apps [date]"

and put up ALL of the Sprint apps for everyone's perusal. There is a post of Sprint apps, however it is outdated, Nov 2010.

I'd like ALL of the Sprint apps (up to date) cuz some of my customers want a specific Sprint app on their rooted phones with AOSP.

I'll give you a thanks if you could manage to do this!

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mawardi:
I have a Galaxy S. It's a great phone. But now I want to move for dual-core phone or any other phone superior. One thing that got me stuck, is native 3G video calling. What phones are currently supporting this huge feature other than Galaxy S? I wanted Nexus S, to experience pure Android but it bumped me up to know there was no support for this feature. So someone please give me an idea or any news when Android will support this? My Symbian had it since 2006. That's a shame for Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
The problem with native UMTS video calls is that it is being abandoned by everybody, not only Android.

The carriers are to blame. My carrier, for example, charge $5/month to enable the feature. Result: nobody uses it, so the standard is dying.

Also one other major problem was that you couldn't call a PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mawardi:
I'm sorry to hear that. My network provider video call rate is same with voice call. And also I got to use my phone number. And no software needed. It works on all phones that have 3G and front facing camera. That is a huge advantage than typical data calling.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mawardi:
Well, the solution is just having another phone to be a sidekick for video call. Android has so many things to improve before it can be called ultimate OS. For now, it just keeps me getting back and back to good old Symbian.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ryo9502:
heres an idea, use appadmin or mybackup pro to backup your sgs dialer apk then try to install it to other phones that doesnt support native 3g video call like dell streak or sensation. it might work ;p

Flash whatever recovery you need from here. You can flash CWM from your amon-ra. Read the thread.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PhxkinMassacre:
Oh my God!!! Whatever you do don't flash the clockwork from inside amon!!!!!!!!! You will **** everything up
[Optimus One, P500, V General] PhxkinMassacre:
Easy way is to just download the free rom manager app and flash it from there. First option in the app. Or put the PC36100.zip from the clockwork mod thread on the root or your SD. Then power down your phone and hold volume down+power button and it will get you into the bootloader it will scan automaticly foe the file and it will ask you to update. Hit yes and then it will ask you to reboot. Hit yyes and you will have clockwork mod
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
the best way is to flash the cw file from amonra recovery if u get prob just toggle signature and it will flash fine
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
You can flash cwm over amonra. The above quoted thread contains flashable zips of the recoveries. This is the best method to switch recoveries. I have changed it 2 or 3 times and have faced no problem. The zips are unsigned so you will have to disable signature verification before flashing. Using rom manager has caused bricking in many users.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ViTAMiNCHEG:
There are 2 safe methods to flash ClockworkMod:

1) using adb method and flash .img file

2) download from the market Rom Manager, install, open it and choose "Flash ClockworkMod recovery", it will auto download cwm and flash it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] GolfnWrx:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ViTAMiNCHEG:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] GolfnWrx:

Why is it that when I'm on wifi, my battery last longer vs while I'm on 3G?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
Wifi uses less power, it's a different frequency, as you're much closer to the wifi device than you would be the 3G cell mast.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sZenpai:
plus, 3G need to find signal, when you in a place where 3G signal is weak, it will drain more battery
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roboMr.Burns:
Use it when you need it...

After serval Test while I was in school and at home I found out:

Edge with Datasync on is the worst! Battery drains in 4 to 5h

Hspda/Hsupa with a good connection is way better. Batterylife 7h

If you just turn if off it saves a lot of energy! Up to 36h

So what I am doing now: I turn the Mobile Network off when I see that little E in the top right corner because the connection is so slow anyway..

Specs of my Phone:

HTC Desire HD with RCMix3D KINGDOM v1.1

1370mAh Battery
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
For actual data transfer, it depends on how often and how much is being sent.

3G transfers faster, so if you're just going after 1 thing, it can be less draining than 2G, assuming full signal strength on both, because it's in use for less time.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxhaxorz:
Yes radio and signal strength affect the battery. Some radios work better than others in certain areas thus giving a better signal. If you are right next to a tower your phone will last a while. The phone always tries to get a better signal thus causing drainage.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackangel104:
Thanks dudes, good info
[Fascinate General] yutsoku:
I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this issue or not.

Okay, if I wipe my phone and install google music 3.0.1.339 it works fine over 3g until I shut down the app.

Once I shut down the app and turn it back on to stream from my google music beta it gets a FC as soon as I start to stream.

I turn on Wifi, I stream fine.

I turn off wifi before the song fully downloads and continue streaming from 3g, works fine.

I switch songs, staying on 3g, fails again.

So every time I try streaming on Wifi, it works fine. If I start on wifi switch to 3g, works fine. However if I don't use any wifi it fails, unless I wipe my phone.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I've turned off Cache music in the options and all that good stuff. Is it a 2.2 issue or is it a app error? Anyone have any information on this? I've searched the forums but haven't really found a resolution on this issue. :\

[Fascinate General] jpunk489:
If you have an ad blocker then disable it. Such as JRummy's Droid Overclock app, or Liberty Customizer, or apps like AdFree... If you enable ads again this should fix streaming issue, also the sirus app issue. This issue also happens in pandora occasionally.
[Fascinate General] jselden:
Well i fixed my issue really quick today. as for not being able to even see any music was because i keep my account syncs turned off. Once i synced it all my music came up.

Now I am having the same problem. Music plays great over 3g, but randomly it will stop syncing all music and not sync again until i reboot my phone. Then works fine over 3g again for awhile.

Wow. That actually was my issue. :p I remember checking there awhile ago, but I didn't see a sync music option. Now today, I see it. Thanks! :D
[Fascinate General] Tkun:
Thought I'd bump this with a solution I found for OP's problem. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and find the Music app. Clear its data, resync music, and everything should be okay. It worked for me at least.

EDIT: Ahh, I should've tried closing the app and reopening before posting this, because it now force closes again when listening to music on 3G. :(

Got the beta, installed the exe on wintel os, all worked fine after fixing 2 problems - sounds like maybe one you had.

1. kept getting a force close from android device. I had Rom Toolkit and the ad blocker added. Once I removed that - no more force closes.

2. tried to upload a root level folder with way to many files let alone songs from the computer (not android). Removed it, then tried to upload things and kept getting "to many songs" or something like that. Had to put back that folder and let it upload everything. Once it was finished, I deleted it all and re-uploaded just the folders with songs I wanted. Fixed.

cyanogen mod 7

nessy #hypnoss

with any of these is stable (at least for me) and u can play emulators, gameloft hd and any other games with good performance
