[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cipzter:
I just bought my Samsung galaxy S i9000 and the only problem i have is with the WI-fi,it works fine until i reset the router(just power on and off), then it starts doing obtaining "IP adress from..." and it wont connect ever again .The only option in this case is to reset the phone to factory setting and this is frustrating.

I noticed that if i turn off the wi-fi on the phone first and after that reset the router and then turn on again the wi-fi on the phone works.The problem is sometimes i forget turning it off from the phone or if a power cut happens it will do the same thing until reseted to the factory settings again and of course i lose all the applications.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Try to change the wi-fi name to something smaller.Also if you use password for the wi-fi try to deactivate it to see if it is the same problem.I feel that it has something to do with the decreption used in the router...maybe i m wrong..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cipzter:
I will try the password removal to see if the problem persists.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cipzter:
Nop, it doesn't work either way, i called a neighbor to come by with his nokia N8 and it seems to work fine for him.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cipzter:
By the way my IP changes every time if i power on and off the router i think the problem might come from there since it says "obtaining Ip adress from...", but then again for nokia N8 works just fine, and i even renamed and reseted the router to different settings and still doesn't work so my guess is that the phone has a problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
Your router changes IP every time you restart it? Can you explain a little...are you being re-issued a dynamic IP from your ISP thats refreshes when you reset your router? Otherwise I would think even after resetting your router it would default to 192.168.1.0 or .0.0.

Either way it sounds like a DHCP problem...where the router is not properly issuing an IP address to the phone, or your phone has cached old settings and isn't being able to pick up an IP after your router changes IP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cipzter:
Yea Kops the Ip is dynamic and refreshes every time i reset the router

This is probably the case, any way i can clear the cache?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schmich:
I've had similar-ish problems when running a custom rom so last resort would be re flashing
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
I would look into seeing if your router is capable of NAT (as most routers are). This would enable a private network in the 192.168.x.x range, and might solve the issue of it not picking up the new IP if the issue is with caching the old one. As far as clearing any cache related to wifi, I'm not exactly sure where that would be found. You could try going into your Settings > Wireless & Network > Wifi settings and forgetting the network. Doing this and letting it re-discover it may help.

May I ask why you are resetting your router? I see no need for it to happen very often. Also, just let me clarify....if you successfully join the wifi, and leave the wifi range...when you return, will it connect again? Does the non-connection only happen after resetting the router?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raditz:
Have you tried to use static IP for your phone instead?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
This might be worth a shot if you could get NAT working, to eliminate the "obtaining IP address" from the DHCP... but if the IP is constantly refreshing and changing, I'm not sure it would do any good.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bqd37340:
So I came home last night, not thinking clearly and went into CWM to restore my phone because I didn't like the ROM i had installed...woke up today with it going only into the Samsung Recovery menu, saying :

-- bootmode=7 from cmdline...

-- Movi_check Start..!!

checksum confirmation need_checksum[0]

Not need checksum confirmation

--Movi_check already executed!!...

--movi_checking done!...

# MANUAL MODE #

When I pull the battery and retry, it happens again...

So I guess my question is, is there anything that can be done, or do I have to take the phone back? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

If you used odin to root i would use that. I bicked my phone 4 or 5 times but just used odin and it in a weird way programmed my phone perfectly. odin was definetly my root savior as well as my phone savior
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Don't take your phone back? You broke it. Your the reason OEMS are locking down phones. Just buy a new one and don't root it if you can't restore it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] senormoll:
It's not like he dunked it in the pool. The OEMs have the tools and firmware needed to completely start the phone over fresh. I mean I agree with your point in principle, but it's not like he's handing back an unusable phone. It'll just be sold as recertified for $50 less.

to the OP, I would be very surprised if Odin doesn't fix your problem. Very few phones get actually "bricked" nowadays. Stop by the #charge channel on andirc and someone can likely help you. First, though, try this tutorial to flash the stock ED1 ROM

Today between 10am and 1pm PST Newegg will have an ADATA 32GB Class 4 microSD for sale for $49.99 (Normally $64.99).

Try this link.

That is directly from the e-mail I got this morning so it may not work for everyone. If not just go to newegg.com and click on the shell shocker deal.

Before anyone asks: I do not work for Newegg nor ADATA, I just got this in an e-mail and know a lot of people want 32GB cards but don't want slow Class 2.

Also, I have not used this card personally so I can't rate it but there are ratings on Newegg you can read.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiia:
Just on XDA: KingdomSense 3.0 booted on Droid Incredible. It's still very early alpha but it works.

I was wondering if this would be possible on SGS2 someday? Is SGS2 too far from any Sense phone hardware-wise that it could evern run Sense 3.0 smoothly?

I've seen videos of Sense 3 running on Sensation but it looks as laggy as 2.1 on Desire. Since SGS2 is more powerful would it be possible for Sense to run better on it than on an original HTC device?

Should we start a bounty on this once we have CM7?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluePlanetMan:
Hey All,

Here is my funky story. I bought a GT-P1000N from Amazon Unlocked for development. Not realizing this would be a unit that was supposed to be sold in Brazil and not the USA, I started flashing away. All was well until.... it went dark. Unable to revive the unit, I took it to a cool little place here in Toronto called M-Tech and the guy used a Riff box to revive it. He was able to reflash the original Stock rom onto it.

PDA:P1000NUBJM2

Phone: Unknown

CSC: P1000NUUBJM2

All attempts to flash various Modems have failed using either Odin or Heimdall. Using either one, flashing the modem.bin will appear to PASS, and the tablet will reboot, but *#1234# is still reporting above.

Additionally, and oddly, I tried to flash Humbros's rom, starting with the Kernel zImage using Odin, this too seemed to Flash PASS, and upon restarting, Kernel reports the same original Kernel as before, not the new one.

Kernel: 2.6.32.9 root@SEI-27 #1

Build number: FROYO.UBJM2

Any ideas how I can get a new modem.bin to flash at least?

Also, why is the Kernel flash not taking?

Thanks,

BluePlanetMan
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrixcore:
I once did something like that to my p1000l with odin. The solution was to flash only the modem.bin with odin in phone section

Btw kernel wont stick if you flash it in phone section in odin, it needs to be in pda section.

Try flashing a whole rom w/repartition in odin if the above doesn't work
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluePlanetMan:
Ok,

I flashed Roto JME V4, and all looked ok, but I have NO touch screen. So, went back into download mode and reflashed P1000NUBJM2 which seems to be the only rom that will work and give me a touch screen.

Attempts to flash a kernel (of the ones I tried) have failed, Odin flashes, says Pass, but Kernel stays the same as before. Also same results for Modem.bin I have tried several different ones, but Baseband is still showing as "Unknown"... I am stumped as to why this would be??? I wish I could have gotten into the settings when Roto was flashed just to see what the Kernel and Baseband looked like, but I had not control to look at it.

Hello lads and lasses!!

Ive had a desire hd for about 6 weeks now and love it!! I was trying to put some pics from my phone to the pc, so removed the memory card, used the memory card adapter i have and plugged it into the pc!!

When it loads there are loads of folders (half of which i dont no what they do) but to find pics taken on the desire hd i have to hit 'DCIM' then thumbnails!!

Couple of things, 1 being that there not in the order that i took them, there totally randomized!! This is the same if i go to view photos that were taken before i had the desire hd!! Ive set the settings in the viewer to sort by date taken but it changes nothing!! Makes finding pics very hard!!

Also, on my old sony ericcson w995, i could view pics on my phone by going into the camera album, then scanning thro month by month!! Makes it very easy to find pics that are 2 years old for instance!! Is there a way this can be set up on the desire hd??

[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
If you think about it, the only known bricks, at least to our knowledge, was in the beginning - and only a handful at that. My theory is that some type of "over the air" event occurred to affect thousands of phones running on the GB radio waves. But, it missed a few. Those few were the phones that "bricked".

If you were one of the unlucky recipients of a bricked phone, maybe you shouldn't feel so unlucky. What if the only phones that were incapable of receiving that information were the phones that destroyed themselves internally. Incapable of swallowing that signal that thousands of other phones ingested like flavorful but tainted cherry cool-aid.

We are now the ones who are controlled. You are free to be who you are. We are the blind followers of an over-the-airwaves cult. You are not part of the manipulated and slain. You see us, with our Thunderbolts pressed against our heads, swaying from side to side, forced to absorb those waves that only the subconscious mind can comprehend.

You stop. You think about it. You go home now. You're confused that you are not part of the masses. You may fee left out. But you are relieved in a way. Your breathing is deeper and more relaxed. You feel good now. You continue on with your normal life...

Hi can I ask a very noob question?

I don't have clear wether the kernel and the firmware are the same thing or not.

I have an S2 Vodafone branded

I was on KE2 and I put the KE7 Kernel following the newest guide here and I am now on:

Baseband BUKE1

Kernel XWKE7

Build number ends in BUKE1.

My question is: Have I updated correctly? Sorry if the question is really basic but I started having some doubts I might still have the phone "half-flashed" so a middle way between KE2 and KE7.

My goal was to get rid of the Vodafone apps and be able to update the kernel (or firmware). I restarted the phone but apart from the yellow sign (which I don't mind for now) the phone still has the same apps as before, so the Vodafone stuff is still there.

Any suggestion guys?

Thank you!

You need to remove them yourself.

Download Titanium Backup from the market and use that.

You can freeze apps, then if you still don't want them it can be uninstalled.

If you want to use it again, you can defrost the app.

Not sure since I haven't even checked out serendipity III but when you say you used Odin to flash the bootloaders I am presuming you flashed gingerbread bootloaders? If so and the flashed the 3 button fix you might be screwed. From what I have read is IF you have the gingerbread bootloaders and flash the 3 button fix you are adding part of the gingerbread bootloader and part of the secondary bootloader and is why you may be bricked for good now. Try to Odin back to stock so it flashes the eclair/froyo bootloaders and hopefully wipes out the gingerbread bootloaders. FIRST LOOK IN THE CONTINUUM THREAD OP FOR SAFE WAY TO RETURN BACK TO STOCK BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. Good luck man.
