CS Showcase should have originally came with DJ20 radio.. I too made the mistake of flashing a Fascinate radio trying to get my TXTs to work with Evil Fascinate rom "awesome ROM BTW". Well I got TXTs working and lost data. Afterwards I have flashed all the Showcase ROMS, even the one with EB11 which supposedly works with the Showcase and data is STILL broke. So something gets changed flashing to a fascinate/mesmarize radio and back. If I knew what to look for I'd open up CDMA workshop and change it back. Anyone have any ideas? I will also add that after flashing to EB11, *228 gives me a programming failure everytime I try.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Both of you are running radios not built for cell south. Go to irc and get help. And stop flashing odin files not for your phone if you don't know what you're doing. Roms don't include a radio, so flashing them isn't going to fix your problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
Not to mention, if you have cell south then you have a showcase, not a mesmerize. Hopefully that'll help you in the future. They are different, even if just slightly.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Black6spdZ:
This isn't my first goat roping.. I've been flashing phones since the early Nokia days. I'll tell you what there isn't though, I list of radios and what hardware/carrier they are good for. I have a T-Mobile HD2 and soon a G2X and at least in the HD2 thread they warn which radios are ONLY for the T-Mobile variant.. in a RADIO Sticky thread. Can you blame me.. EVERY one of these phones whether a Fascinate, Mesmerize.. or in this case a Showcase "branded as a Galaxy S" all have the hardware model number of SCH-i500! I only found the Mesmerize threads warning of problems AFTER I had convinced myself that the phone in my hand was a Fascinate after searching the model number on google, and the first stop was XDA Fascinate forums. I think XDA needs to invest in grouping the phones better as the list on the main page is growing out of control.. would also help in the confusion and problems such as what I have encountered.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
It's not xda's fault you assumed that everything for a fascinate would work for a showcase. A little research would have yielded the obvious answer that no, they are not all the same. Why else would there be separate forums for them? And separate versions of roms for the mes/showcase? Because they are different. And the radios are not universal, which is why you no longer have data. Again, go to the mes irc and they can get you back on track with a showcase flash.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Black6spdZ:
What I am getting at is that ALL of these SCH-i500 model phones shouldn't have their own main thread.. mesmerize, fascinate, galaxy s, showcase, etc etc.. just because carrier X has given them a unique branding name.. hell, I didnt even know this phone was a "Showcase", it says Galaxy S on the back of the cover.. if you look here under galaxy S it has a model of i9000! If the hardware is in fact identical, the main thread should be devoted to it.. such as HTCs code names. Yes.. assumptions are bad but I did do a good bit of research.. it was only until I F'd up and had to search for the problem I was having that even more searching revealed that the phone I had wasn't a fascinate. Now the problem at hand.. the phone isn't bricked, its just the radio flash has changed something.. and even flashing back to a compatible radio didn't change this certain thing back. If it could be changed it should be able to be changed back.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
All galaxy s phones are not the same, which is exactly why they have separate forums. You have not flashed a radio that is compatible for your phone because, as I said, roms do NOT include the radio. There is not a standalone radio flash available for the showcase. Your only option to get this fixed is to go to the mes irc chat and get what you need there.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Black6spdZ:
I've been to the mesmerized IRC channel and I have d/l the EB11 Showcase rom which in fact included the radio. It did not fix the data issue. Are you trying to say all SCH-I500 model phones are not the same hardware apart from differing software? Do they have different ram or flash ammounts? From everything I've seen they are identical: 1 GHz Hummingbird Cortex A8, 384 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM... difference ROM/software. As I've said before.. somehow flashing the fascinate radio "EC01" has changed some internal register and flashing back to the EB11 SC radio will not change the appropriate register back. I've seen much harder problems fixed by people of the XDA forum.. just not enough users with SC phones to warrant an investigation by the people who would know how to correct this particular problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
The hardware is probably identical except the actual wireless transceiver that is built for each carriers network. In some cases, you can use a different radio (the software that operates the transceiver) and it will work. But the problem with any software not written expressly for your device is not the device itself, rather the problem is that the software does not contain the proper id, settings, and configuration for your carrier. That is why everything on xda always carries with it the "at your own risk" disclaimer.

That being said, most of the folks in the irc are experienced devs, who would probably be glad to try and help you remedy the pickle you're in, if you asked nicely. If you go in there with a "this is your fault, fix it" sort of attitude, then you may be **** out of luck.

Do you have to brown nose them? No. But it couldn't hurt. They put up with a lot of **** here, and fortunately they keep providing us new and exciting software to experiment with. For free.

That's my two bits. Do what you will.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Black6spdZ:
I have all the respect in the world for the development.. they make our phones more than just a communicating device but a fun gadget and hobby for some. I'm well aware of the risks for this hobby.. I've had my share of mistakes believe me. Its more a gripe about xda-dev forum than this device.. back when there were only a dozen phones on here it was hard to mistake them apart.. I bought an O2 xda II s because there wasn't a GSM phone like it at the time.. now we have literalle a hundred different model phones and now different branding of the same phone on different carriers.. organization here is critical.. almost overwhelming. My first search gave me a result.. but not exactly the correct information. Cellular south is not large enough to have their own device threads.. I've known that for a long time. The only info I had was it was called a galaxy s and had a model of sch-i500. My search of galaxy s landed a model of i9000.. I knew that was not correct so I figured CS just slapped the name galaxy s on another device.. marketing blah. My next search of the model landed the fascinate device which looked identical so I figured I had it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] WolfStar:
Edited the OP
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
Well, now that we have berated you enough (Lol) lets see if we can help you remedy the situation. So calls and texts work, but no data. Is there a data icon? 3g or 1x?

If you can gain access to the hidden menu you may be able to learn a bit more about whats causing this. At one point my phone (for whatever reason) was stuck in 1x only. I opened the hiddenmenu and changed it to force evdo (3g) waited till it changed to 3g mode, and then switched it back to hybrid.

Sometimes tinkering makes a world of difference. Im not really sure what else to tell you from here... I'm no dev by any means.

Btw, some of the info in the hiddenmenu is generic. For example, I have uscc yet even on a stock rom some of the messaging configurations have crap related to vzw (verizon wireless). If you screw something up, a fresh reflash of the Odin package should set the hiddenmenu options back to default again.

Hopefully someone with more experience than me, who knows all about radios and the like, will step in and direct you further. ;)

Edit: Btw, wolfstar, I'm sorry dude I didn't mean to hijack your thread. My dumb ass didn't pay close enough attention to realize that there's two people in this thread with similar problems...
[Samsung Mesmerize] WolfStar:
Not a problem, lol. I did get my problem fixed though. I'm not gonna lie, I have NO idea how, but I did.

To answer your question, no, I did not have 3G or 1x by my signal. Just the signal bar.

To answer how I fixed it, I wish I could tell you guys. I went to the IRC and someone pointed me to a stock ROM which I flashed, and it didn't work. That was an EB11 rom I do believe. Then I did some searching and apparently I found out that no one really has the full stock EB11 rom because the modem would never get fully flashed, and I was like, maybe that's my problem because I went from EC10, which was not supported for my device but for some reason still gave me signal to call people and what have you, to EB11. Well I was like, since there is no EB11 I'll go to the one below which is DJ20. When I did, it didn't work. I was so disappointed. Turned out the DJ20 rom didn't have the modem in it at all, because I check my About Phone menu and I still had EB11 for the baseband. Well I did the *228 just for the giggles, (NOTE: I have been doing the *228 every time I flashed a rom when trying to fix my issue, just to see if maybe it will fix something.) and let my phone reboot. When it turned back on, still no data. This was my last straw, because I had honestly run out of every option I had left. I set it down to think what else there could be to do, picked it back up and unlocked it and BAM, 3G. I have no idea how, or why, but somewhere in what I did it fixed it. Maybe when I went back down to DJ20 and did *228 it downloaded what little bit I was missing in the transition from DJ20 to EB11. It's my only hypothesis.

Thank you guys for all the help. I know you guys didn't have the answers but at least you tried.

ALSO. I did go through my settings with each flash, to make sure they were correct, and they were all on. So I know that my data was on in each flash.

I hope that maybe someone can use this little bit of info one day to either AVOID this or FIX it. Goodluck!
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
Glad you got it fixed! :) yeah I remember reading something about cell south demanding its packages removed or something? Apparently they are uberstingy. Anyway, good job and thanks for posting it here for others.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Black6spdZ:
crap.. I could have sworn I too flashed back to a dj20 rom but maybe not. The roms contain APN settings correct? would anything BUT an original Showcase rom in theory not work? It doesnt make sense because even after flashing to the EB11 Showcase rom my data still did not work.. its almost like there is some NVRAM that stores APN settings that must be set by an original flash. Wolf,after you flashed EB11 did *228 give you a failure every time you tried it?
[Samsung Mesmerize] WolfStar:
No, every time I did *228 it was always successful and it would reboot my phone, but even after it rebooted it was still the same. Check your About Phone and see if you have the EB11 Baseband, if you, try what I did and get the DJ20 ROM and do the *228.

I can gladly say that I still have 3G/1x with no problems.

Hi I am running CM7 on my captivate and it is the MOST AMAZING ROM, except when i press "shut down" it shuts down then turns on automatically, please any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
if the phone is plugged in either by usb or a wall outlet then the phone will stay on. However, if you simply just cannot get the phone to turn off.. hmm that is something entirely different. These are just some simple little ideas im sure you've tried already:p

Try the reboot command.. try battery pulls and seeing if it works.. boot into recovery and wipe cache/davik.. :o

[HTC Desire S] scotty7910:
Hi I was wondering if anyone here could help with cwm for my s-off desire s.I know there is a tutorial of sorts in the dev section but the info is fragmented and I cant seem to make it work.

Firstly I use the gingerbreak apk,which gives a message like "not sure what happened either the exploit didnt work or the reboot didnt,please reboot and see if you have superuser.So I reboot and see the superuser app which has gingerbreak listed in it (with green in use apn type dot).This means I have root?:confused:

So then I downloaded the PG88IMG file from lbcs cwm thread.In this thread it says to rename this file to PG88IMG.zip I have done this and put it on the sd card using the disk drive mode usb.Havent touched it just put the zip in sd folder below the other folders 4 of (android,android secure,tmp,adobe,lost dir).After this I turn fastboot off.Have already formatted sd.Then turn phone off and enter bootloader/recovery mode.Pressing the power button makes four lines pop up saying things like pg88img.zip not present or correct etc.This is in hboot and fastboot enabled.Can anyone see where I am going wrong?I have tried the pg88img packed unpacked as a folder and even the disc image within while following all the steps I can see.My phone is definetely s-off and I cant see the problem.Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] scotty7910:
:o I have clockwork mod installed successfully on my s off desire s.Will maybe write my experiences down so as peoples like me who dont speak fluent linus adb etc can understand.:D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
As I didn't use ginger break myself I can't comment on it's use

the green dot in superuser means you if you have achieved root

you can always then download rom manager application from the market this will give you the option to flash an slightly older version of CWM which works fine

Help me - i am in a quandry.....

On my phone i am a devoted miren browser user. I have not integrated lastpass or xmarks from my PCs to my phone.

With the TF i now want/need to. I actually like the stock browser - especially the quick controls which are ingenious. But lastpass does not integrate with the stock browser, though i can use chrome sync to sync bookmarks.

So i installed and startsd using dolphin browser as it integrates lastpass and xmarks nicely (more so the forer). But since the last dolphin upxate and 3.1update dolphk now runs lie a dog - ie i am always waiting for it to render etc...

I tried firefox mobile but it sucked (FCed).

So although dolphin integrates lastpass and xmarks its a poor browser. I dont want to use the lastpass browser.

Any other ideas?

http://www.ecrater.com/p/11468929/energizer-energi-to-go-portable-cell

This is awesome! I just bought it yesterday at Walgreens here in Hawaii, for $30, because we're having thunderstorms and I'm worried we'll have a blackout. I was kinda hesitant but read good reviews.

I also bought a 4 pack Energizer rechargeable AA nimh batteries at 2300mah per battery with charger for $20. Again I was worried it wouldn't work since the lithium batteries that came with it were 1.5v while the rechargeable ones are 1.2v, and I read a user said it wouldn't work, but to my surprise they work!

I woke up this morn to the fully charged energizer batteries, my phone was also fully charged, and I went out to test it without bringing along my charger. Going to the beach and catching the bus I listened to music and watch videos with 4G on and when it got to 50% I put in the rechargeable AAs into the Energi to go plugged it into my phone and after about an hour and a half it was up to 97%, used phone again till it got down 50% then juiced it up again and went to swim.

Got back from swimming it was full, while waiting for the bus to go back I was watching vids and surfing the net all the way home, got home and with the same 2 AA rechargeables I plugged it in again and after my nap I saw that the energi to go charger stopped blinking and the phone was at 99%. So about 2 full charges on the 2 aa rechargeables, and I still had the other two rechargeables and the original lithium ones ready to go.

These are great for the time being and a keeper for Black outs, I'm still gonna get the Mugen 4500 mah extended though, but I feel safe now with this Energizer Energi to go portable cell phone charger. Go get it.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXTENDED-HIGH...831?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27b96b6d47

This doesnt make your Desire too fat like the 3000mAh and got significantly better times than the battery you chose because the stock battery also got 1400mAh, would be "just" a extension about 400 mAh...

Disadvantage: you can't use your stock protection case (if u do) because theres also a new case for that bigger battery

I am using this battery http://www.dealextreme.com/p/replac...-battery-with-charger-for-htc-desire-g7-45427 of course its not 1600, it is about 1300-1400 mah but for now it last for me same as original battery which is almost 1 year old now, so not so bad to use it as spare battery when you out of juice.also you get wall charger-while one batery charging you can use your phone with another one,but don't recommend to charge it in desire-you know its made in china :) but for me it works ok, i am totally happy with it.so if you decided to buy not original battery,then buy and wall charger(or buy that from DX), because you dont want to explode your desire. do you? :) goog luck. regards

Yeah I bought that Chinese 1800amh battery too and it's terrible! I calibrated it and as you do with new batteries and it simply doesn't hold a charge. The stock battery lasts much longer when properly calibrated! I don't even think it's 1800amh. I'd suggest getting the Mugen Power battery. I got one for my old HTC Legend and it lasted ages!!! It was more expensive like between E30 - 40 but well worth it! They have a 1600amh one for the Desire, if you want a good battery that lasts, I'd strongly recommend it. ;)
