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

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).

85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.

Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.

Here are some details of my phone:

Firmware version

2 2

Baseband version

I9000DXJPA

Kernel version

2 6 32 9

root (at) SE-S604 #1

Build number

FROYO DXJPA

If I check out the status, it usually says this:

Network

Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)

Mobile network type

UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)

Service state

Out of service

Mobile network state

Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)

I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.

I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?

Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.

I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?

I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Ryan

You can always try flashing a different MODEM (Radio) .. :) And you might as well upgrade to a 2.2.1 firmware, if not GB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryac:
hmm.. do you know where I can learn how to flash my phone to a different (and more appropriate!) modem? also where to find an update to the firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
Just search in these forums. It's all there. You can easily flash a new radio package using ODIN. :) Better yet, try one of the custom ROMs from the I9000 Android Development section. :)

Did you do a battery pull and see if it goes to download mode?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
IS this possible ? I know I know why would I want to.... Personally its the whole sh1t @ss media setup android has. Dont get me started on browsers.

I thought I read winmo has some kind of indentifier? Is this true? IF not are there any 8mp wp7 phones ?

Let the flamming begin my skin is made of asbestos! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twism50:
I'd be interested in trying this out too. There was a project to create on on another Android Device, I just can't remember which one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
My grandparents always had this saying: **** in one hand and wish in the other. See which fills up faster.

I still to this day have no clue what that means but I feel like it applies here.

:p Just funning. This would be something I'd want too but I believe it's near impossible without a companion device on that OS a la HD2/EVO/HD7. That's why the HD2 can dual-boot all those OSes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
The closest your gonna get for now is the Launcher 7 app. Its free from the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dameon87:
Unfortunately (Or fortunately imo), this is likely never going to happen. It's just not possible with the extra security that MS has employed, and it would in all honesty be a waste of time. There isn't anything WM7 can do that Android can't. (AFAIK.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psn1819:
Yea it would be definitely unique for them to make that possible...sort of like how they're trying to port android to the HD7...this could be a sort of new age HD2 LOL...you know without Wm of course
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Ive also read security is tough. they went the extra mile and there are a few hardware signatures.

I would be interested in seeing this happen for an N1 or G2x simply out of curiousity because i dont see myself ever leaving android let alone to buy a windows phone. a port would allow me to try it out for a while ( i think i know 1 person that has a WP7 ) lol

Id be curious to see how well it integrates to the PC and XBOX 360. ever since the windows smartphone became an Idea they killed the ability to see my android on the xbox which is a shame.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Windows mobile 7 can multitask WAY better than Android. Try streaming audio or video in one window then open another and surf while trying to listen to the streaming audio/video in the first browser window that was active. On Android the audio/video streaming will cease, on Windows 7 you can browse on the newly opened window while the audio/video streaming from the first window will still be active and playing in the background for you to listen to.

Also, with all my reading and researching on other android forums and devices, it seems Android as an operating system is a huge battery drainer even when you're not activley using the handset/device. Windows mobile 7 won't have a horrible battery drain like Android when just on standby. My assumption on this is that google really wants to "listen" in on you, after all they are part of this "big brother" movement.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Riiight. because everyone that has developed roms and code for android just ignores that and lets google "listen in" :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Someone seems a little paranoid :P Also: http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/android-rim-apple-comscore.png

P.S. Sorry to continue the off topic-ness...as far as your question goes OP, I doubt that it will ever happen because it would be hard to accomplish in the first place (due to security and compatibility with hardware) and I'm not sure that a lot of developers would be interested in undertaking this project.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Agreed, I can't imagine any devs putting in the HUGE effort it would take to port WP7 to this device given the lack of demand for such a port (most people who want WP7 buy a phone with WP7). That said, it would be a great technical accomplishment and just plain cool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
my whole thing is (and heres where I debunk the whole android is superior myth)

is im a media guy: internet music videos etc. And im sorry but android SUCKS and FAILS massively with that. and of course theres the whole stupid file management thing(why is there not a native file explorer like windows?).

and then the biggest android fail: web browsing.

it just sucks on android. I mean its awful. WHy is the native browser so... crappy? I feel its bs that i have to "get an app for that" when it seems to me it should be part of the native OS. I know...its a phone. But whotf uses "mobile version" websites? what is this symbian? And why has no one made an ap for the ua debug ? I want to open my browser and go to ANY website I want in FULL desktop view. JUST LIKE WINDOWS. WITHOUT having to type in "aboutdebug" go to settings etc... really getting old

Skyfires ok...but... some websites(like my bank ) dont work. ANd pay for video??? sigh. at least they have a UA psuedo ap at the top.

and again poor media structure...No music or video looping...the list goes on.

MAybe you guys have suggestions. I also HATE that all my media shows up in gallery. grrr ...gallery blows. I dont want to "hide" my files I just want to seperate them and not have them all open up in "gallery".

SO yes windows phones DO have some advanteges over android. Too bad windows phones suck at everything else.

MS kills me when they advertise wp7 has "thousands" of apps. its like when some loacl band compares them selves to a bigger badn" we have hundreds of fans"...k.

back to my rant ....WHy does android have the UA set this anyways its totally fkn (insert deragatory tasteless term here for all you pc bishes). :mad:

I dont mind the off topic comments :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
Please don't use gay as a derogatory term or put down. It's tasteless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
I love Android...and completely disagree with all (almost all) of your points...but you are entitled to your opinion. I have to wonder though why you would go on an Android forum and rant against Android...seems a little trollish. Sure WP7 has some advantages over Android (not sure what they are)...peas have some advantages over carrots...but they aren't the same thing and if I want peas I don't eat carrots (and then complain about the carrots). Maybe you should sell your g2x (assuming you have one) and get a WP7 phone. Not trying to be an ass. Just don't understand where you're coming from.

But like I said, a WP7 port would be cool from a technical standpoint.

AND...

+1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
yeah ok "storm" ... I changed it so you dont cry to mommy that i hurt your feelings but fyi I didnt type "gay".... can we get back to topic now? ill try n watch my p's n q's. Funny how every one can say the f word and all kind of swearing on this forum, but the minute i use the word gay someone has to whine about it. WHy dont you look up the original context of the term ghey and how its NOT a deragatory term. SOme people got to much time on their hands. Man up will ya?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
for the file explorer there are plenty of free great apps.

for the browser Its not as great as my desktop but i use it often and don't have any issues. the mobile version of websites is becoming more common and when the web admin does a good job the mobile specific version is laid out better. for example sun-trust mobile. I don't even miss having an app the mobile site is so well laid out

when I need a desktop version in CM7 i just select "change user agent" under settings. if you don't like that there is always Firefox which isnt perfect but i love the syncing favs/passwords with desktop.

I will however agree with the lack of "pizzaz and wow" with media. and i REALLY agree with you on the featureless gallery and not being able to better organize it.

Just remember the whole point in android isn't to have everything set up just the way YOU like it right away. not everyone likes the same thing. the beauty in android is if you don't like it you can easily change it.

think of it this way.. the Iphone is a great phone for many people. but if you don't like the way something works or don't like Itunes you are pretty much S.O.L

once you get everything set and dialed in you wont ever want to part with your android and most other phone users are jealous

that being said.. again i really do agree with you and there needs to be some work done with the way the phone deals with media and storage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
Funny how now im a troll because I have some gripes with android. Do you work for google and dont like me pointing out flaws? IM just saying these are things that android lacks... and I love my g2x too much to give it up.lol. Not trolling, not trying to offend any one with the way I talk. But I am still right about this as you have yet to prove me wrong or give me advice on how to work around it. and I dont hate android, its awesome and I love everything thats being done with it so why not make it better and have better media software for it? :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
I had a mt4g then went to the hd7 in high hopes for the wp7 and enjoyed it for a few days simply because of Netflix and simplicity... but. I came running back to android on the g2x after 2 terrible hd7 handsets... it had a few nice features but in no way stands up against what we can mold our android to be.

As for the browser wp7 was amazingly smooth...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
Maybe u would enjoy the zune launcher
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
hah.. lets not get started on ZUNE. I still love my old Zune 130 because i prefer the hardware buttons during work. if it wasn't for that and storage.my G2X might replace it.

the zune software is better than it was but it still isn't great and I still don't understand why a MICROSOFT zune cant natively sync with MICROSOFT media player.

anyway back on topic haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
hmmm looks interesting. Just looked in market THeres no actual zune launcher ap(maybe i worded it wrong) but I did find something called wp7 launcher maybe ill check that out.

For the record Let me again re-iterate: I am not a troll and would never direct any coarse language that I use toward anyone as a personal attack. I digress...as usual.

but I ask again: why has no one made an ua ap. I personally NEVER use mobile view, this is not 2002 ! IM surprised no one has made an ap that you click once and it sets all your browsers to desktop mode so you dont have to go through all of the steps to get there. AM I still on my own topic....

/rant /again>
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
I'm sure that when you used the word you totally meant that Android was very happy. Would you use the 'n' word to elaborate on the state of Android as well? It's nothing about manning up and all about having respect for a group of people. I don't have any problem with anything you said but that, dude. Don't get offended. I tried to say it as nicely as I could.

Back on topic:

The stock android browser is absolute ****. I personally prefer either Dolphin or Firefox. As far as things showing up in Gallery, you can try Pandora. It sucks because I deleted the program and it took all my hidden items with it but I don't know if that was my fault or the programs. Also, Fede's music app does a really good impersonation of the Zune app if you're into that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Im sure one of the reasons is slowly but surely admins are realizing people want easy access to all the features but on the smaller screen of mobile devices. again i would much rather have a well designed mobile site than a desktop only on a small screen. maybe that isnt the case for every site but anything with lots of links and date can become a pain on a small screen. if the mobile site is designed well it should be as good or better than the desktop version
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
Launcher 7 is the launcher replacement and Fede's music app would work for the Zune music app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
My bad...I though you were complaining because Android isn't WP7...nuance is hard to follow in print. And sometimes I miss the point. So, yes, you are right Google could learn a few things from Microsoft. Especially when it comes to media handling...why is there no option to use folder structure? I shouldn't have to hide ringtones or use an alternate App to play music...folder structure is just a common sense option.

[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
lol nice.

just to be helpful, here's a quote from a post of mine.

ok, here goes.

first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them

sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:

myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.

mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.

koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...

aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.

cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic

miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.

deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7

savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.

salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.

ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.

a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.

virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.

virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.

so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
