fast google search revealed two fixes for bt:

- hard reset - *2767*3855# - this will wipe your phone stats but most probably will fix both wifi and bt

- http://blog.pfuender.net/?p=61 - this will fix bt alone

also note that adb logcat c:\logcat.txt will log everything till you stop it or phone shuts off so produce wifi bug let it do its reboot or whatever and then ctr+c
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cash_13:
- hard reset - *2767*3855# - this will wipe your phone stats but most probably will fix both wifi and bt

Tried these already before and after I put the new software on and have just tried again no difference at all problems still exactly the same...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
so pick option #2 and report
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cash_13:
It wont connect to my pc to run catlog.

I had to download via 3G and run it on the phone from there so I can not use Ctrl+C unless you know how to bring up a window with in the samsung.

I only got the log by sending it via 3G as an email....to my desktop then copy and pasting to a notepad doc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
why cant connect to pc ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SKeijmel:
Mine works fine and the one of a friend of mine works fine too wifi and bt on xxjvp

Dont know just finishing my chores around the house and will get onto it!

as an additional after moving file mentioned in article you might want to do 'fix permissions' in cwm recovery

I am also having the same issue:

E/BluetoothEventLoop.cpp( 469): get_adapter_path: D-Bus error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown (The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files)

However, my wifi does work. I have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S I9000M. The XXJVP modem didn't work for me (no HSDPA), so I flashed the UGJK3 modem and my connection was back. I followed the instructions on blog.pfuender.net/?p=61, blog "Android/Milestone bluetooth not working", but my '/data/misc/bluetoothd/' directory is empty, thus cannot perform the following step:

‘mv /data/misc/bluetoothd/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/sdp /data/misc/bluetoothd/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/sdp.bak <ENTER>’

I will continue to research this issue. I only realized it this morning as an app I am working on requires Bluetooth, and logcat went nuts with error logs (shown above). I will also keep this thread updated with whatever I find.

Cheers,

vinpa.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
huh that was htc desire fix =)

lulz understand this - bt should be working out of the box and is working on stock - i can also confirm that it works on cfroot as i use it flawlesly

if you got bt not working now

think about what else can be not workign that you do not notice

...

imho best way is to make a PROPER system install

basicly youre misising bt deamon or a start link for it = broken system

i am out of this thread, consider yourselfs helped (install stock+cfroot)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vinpa:
Got it working...

I first made a backup with CWM, then flashed PIT512, CODE_I9000XXJVP..., GT-I9000-CSC..., and my original modem.bin.

After it rebooted, I skipped through the setup and rebooted once more into Download mode, flashed CF-Root and then restored. Bluetooth is now functional.

Cheers,

vinpa.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] moondoggeh:
hi, i have updated to 2.3.4 jvp from js3 telenor

all is fine, battery usage is much much better, no laggs, and no FC/FR..

i have turned on the bluetooth once set the name, and turned it off....

after i rooted and brought backups back,i cant use BT anymore. it just stands and turning on for a min or two, and than goes to TURNED OFF state...

any help? any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cash_13:
Just got a text to say my phone is ready for collection.....

Bet it's not repaired properly and it has to go away again for the same faults..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cash_13:
I got the phone back about an hour ago from Redhill and the woman came out of the back room with the phone with we cant repair the phone as its water damaged......Huh!!!!!!

How do you work that one out its never been in or near any water to cause any damage!

So they are saying it cant be repaired under warrenty.........

Did it occure to anyone to give me a call while it was in bits at the repair centre as I am so desperate to get my phone up and running again I could authorise a repair if needed or at least put some money to it to resolve this once and for all!!!

But hey no lets just clip it back together again and send it back with some ###### and bull story about it being moisture damage!

As my wife says I looked after it so well it obviously sweated to death in its leather case...

They sent back a letter and a rather grainy picture of supposedly my phone to prove the damage....

The letter stating in a very patronising way captioned

MORE ABOUT LIQUID/MOISTURE DAMAGE!

It then went on to tell me that if you dare to use the phone in any weather hot cold humid or dry it can be damaged in 1 day or over many months before it becomes apparent!!! its an open excuse for not repairing and taking responsibilty for the phone and its defects....Vodafone have known about this issue for months now and this is arrogant beyond contempt to make such a feable excuse to get out of their contracual obligations.

I put it to Vodfone that if they had arranged for a repair when this problem first happend that the damage ( if it is such inside ) could have been adverted and I dont see that I should bare the brunt of the cost because of a lack of communication in their departments about getting my bag sent to send it off...The photo shows what appears to be a dark area on the edge of a chip which to my eyes looks like a short of some sort possibly by "o I dont know perhaps a diode that has been getting to hot where it has been trying to restrict or pass current at the wrong value causing over heating and therefore somthing not working properley....hey its just a guess as I say but perhaps the wifi I have been moaning about for many months.....

1) So I not have only lost a phone!

2) I have lost the use of a work tool! for my business!

3) lost at least three months phone and data use!

4) Customers that could normally contact me could not loss of trade!

5) Stuck with a phone that I can not upgrade until November. minimum!

It would be interesting to see what the web team have to say about this or if anyone can help in anyway or do I just pack up sticks and leave once and for all!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexbrickwedde:
Hi,

today i used my SGS2 for comparing my cars instrument with gps-speed. While driving with cruise control i got 122,4 km/h (this is around 75mi/h). This value was very stable, after a minute or so there was 118,x for some seconds and then 122,4 again. No values in between :confused:. That looks very strange to me, anyone experienced the same effect? (using Lightning ROM 1.3, with both "GPS Test" and "Maps (-)")

...Alex
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaaresl:
Speeds as low-res steps

I'm having the same experience with mine and this behavior appeared suddenly. It doesn't matter what speed I'm going in or what app I'm using for measuring speed, they all show speeds in clearly divided steps with low granularity. In Locus Pro, the speed chart shows clear steps in recorded speed (I cannot post screenshot yet due to rookie status)

Both SpeedView and Ulysse Speedometer have the same behavior, though the jumps differ a bit. If I remember correctly some of the steps in Ulysse was (in km/h): 76, 80, 83, 86, 90, 94. Nothing between these.

Browsing through the recorded tracks in Locus I can point to the date this behavior started, but I have no idea what I did that day, unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexbrickwedde:
yesterday i've used runtastic, it works like expected, while the other two mentioned earlier still fail...

...Alex
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byggeren:
Hi,

This is also something I've noticed. Using GPS Test I've found the "resolution" of the reported speed from the GPS to be 1 m/s, which is equal to 3.6 km/h. This explains why some applications seem to have steps of 3-4 km/h on the speed rating.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaaresl:
Fixed somewhere between ke2 and kf3

I upgraded my phone to from ke2 to kf3 today and this issue seems to be fixed now. Otherwise, see this thread for a similar discussion.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vilasman:
I have a flyer. I am not going to use the people, the reader or the movie panels in the caroseul. Is there anyway to change what apps are in this windows?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LowFire82:
Press and hold the widget itself and once it is highlighted, you'll notice the screen change slightly, move it to the trash can in the lower right corner
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
My Flyer is still boxed, so I can't verify, but who is this:

- Go to one of the panels

- Long press on a panel

- Move down ("Remove") to the right side

- Panel is removed

- Again long press, add what you wan't

Or:

- Press home

- In the overview long press on an panel

- move to the place you wan't

HTC death grip on the WiFi connection,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2UKRE2_FSw
[HTC Sensation] ARC X12:
There is a problem with the link.
[HTC Sensation] dantes1:
i have sent the video to HTC, i'm waiting for their answer for this issue,
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
I've only noticed this when holding in in an awkward position to purposefully test for this "issue". Its like when people were complaining about the "loose hinge" on the G2, you don't notice it in daily use unless you're looking for it
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
Ohnoes another "Death Grip" thread... Can't really see how using theese grips is nice usage of the phone. Looks weird but that's my opinion. Don't seek out the problems if you usually avoid them...
[HTC Sensation] dantes1:
the test was conducted when I had full signal, next to the router, how about when you have one bar of WiFi signal? we should get instructions from HTC how to hold a phone in the landscape mode.

How to hold the phone in landscape mode? with two fingers?
[HTC Sensation] dantes1:
link fixed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEP3vP520i4
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
If I'm near my router, and I grip the entire phone with both hands as tightly as I can, the wifi strength does not change.

Obviously there is some sort of antenna fault at work here, I can only cause attenuation if the signal is weakened (like a few concrete walls inbetween the phone and router, or a great distance away). This is all very confusing to say the least.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
lol, everyone should stop squeezing the like a tit
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
I tried the exact same grip in this video the most my WiFi would drop is 1 bar if that. So idk I can't replicate the death grip
[HTC Sensation] Dwin-d:
Same problem in the exact same position with mine while I am in my appartment.

Full signal but when I use my phone in landscape mode (the way he holds the phone in the video is exactly how I hold it everyday) I loose signal and I can't browse.
[HTC Sensation] dantes1:
we should try at half signal to see , holding in normal position in landscape mode.

let me know how it's yours in this case
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
I can one up all you chaps, I have hands free death grip. WiFi almost never works at all, which is fun sitting here at work with a weak 2g (edge) signal.
[HTC Sensation] theebest:
Omg people it is not a problem All phone have this death grip in a way some more than others like the iphone. Geez people Every time a new phone comes out everyone tries they're hardest to find a problem and then blow it way out of proportion like the g2 hinge problem.. *sigh* sorry about the short rant its just like man really most of the phones problems are PICNIC.. k now.. now.. now I'm done :)
[HTC Sensation] _kansei_:
Why would someone venture into the Sensation subforum and read a thread about death grip just to rant about threads like these? It's the weekend, don't you have something better to do with your time?
[HTC Sensation] downwiththebanksters:
This stuff is good so that consumers can make an informed choice about purchasing expensive and complicated devices. I keep wanting to buy this phone, so I am glad I can find what my potential experience may be. I thank the community for all their efforts.
[HTC Sensation] dvhttn:
Just to make everyone feel better, my DHD also loses some wifi signal if I hold it near the top, left-hand corner (in portrait mode). However, until I started to see lots of threads about the issue on the Sensation (planning to get one) and actually started to look for an issue, it hadn't affected me one bit (in 8 months of having the phone).

Dave
[HTC Sensation] dantes1:
i'm not trying to find the problems, you should go online in the landscape mode and then you ca talk, I have a G2 and love it by the way! Show me one phone that it's dropping the signal from full bars to none!

I expect a fully functional phone for $600,
[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
I went online on wifi in landskape mode holding the phone with 1 hand on each side. No visual drop on either wifi or phone signal. If i pack the whole back side with 2 hands the wifi drops 1 bar and i'm about 2.5meters below the router with a concrete floor in the way. So i don't really see your problem. If your phone drops from full to zero by holding it in landscape mode u must have a faulty device. Send it back for a fix or possible get a new one.
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
Same here. I think some of them have an actual wifi fault which exaggerates the death grip problem.
[HTC Sensation] Riel:
the issue is really here.

It's not really death grip, it's just wifi in landscape.

I had a desire and was always browsing in bed, in landscape.

With sensation, signal just gets lost totally.

(And that is from 4 bars to death).

I like the phone but this worries me.
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
Yeah.. it's ....odd. I lose 2-3 bars when I place the phone into landscape (holding with just the tips of my fingers on the sides). Sometimes I'll lose signal completely. Usually the signal will come back up some after a few seconds. it comes right back up if i move the phone back to portrait.
[HTC Sensation] Luckyspawn69:
I just have to say I don't think this "death grip" is a hardware issue .... I think it is a software issue. I had a g2 and flashed cyanogen ... Worst WiFi reception ever. Went for a more stock based Rom and bingo! Also I noticed if you turn off mobile networks from the task bar and turn on WiFi, you will have superb WiFi...

On the sensation of course. Lol
[HTC Sensation] sittyb123:
Same here in landscape my WiFi drops ...but in portraits it is back. I hope there is a fix for this soon. I just got this phone yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] ozym:
Just tried this. Putting my sensation in landscape mode has absolutely no effect on wifi signal strength or performance.

I am unable to reproduce this alleged "death grip" behaviour for either wifi or cell signal.

Even if I grasp the phone with both hands completely covering as much of the case as I can, I can at best only produce a drop of 1 bar, i.e. less than walking across the room or turning around in my chair.

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[HTC Sensation] rc50won:
I can reproduce this behavior when I get far enough from my router. So what? I left an iPhone 4 for the Sensation. I could cause the same issue with the I4.

Answer?

These are nothing more than two way radios that require antennas. On this phone they are on the inside of the back case. Your skin acts as a conductor which changes the resonance of the antennas causing them not to work on the frequencies they were designed for.

Anyone who buys one of these expensive phones and doesn't put in in a case is just asking for trouble anyways. Put your phone in a case or a rubber skin and this becomes a non issue.

Come on people. Please use some common sense.

[Verizon Droid Charge] codelinx:
I recently came across an issue with the Samsung Droid Charge with the video recording feature where the audio is delayed across randomly throughout the video where it doesnt sync up properly on the highest video resolution. Has anyone had problems with this feature?

*** the audio syncs fine when the person talking or audio source is talking about average speed, but if you talk fast the audio will lag behind the actual video visuals.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tnap1979:
ok, so i bought a brand new sgh-t959p fascinate 4g all out, no contract, a few days ago, waited to get home, as i was in another city,

wanted to root and unlock it, as i am on chatr not telus,

got root, tried unlock methods, nothing worked, so i figured id try to flash to a stock firmware incase rooting did something, not that i figured it did, but just to be safe, id go back to brand new firmware,

well now my phone is stuck in a boot loop at the fascinate 4g telus logo, vibrates a few times then reboots and does it again,

im unclear as to where to look or what to do to unbrick this $600 paperweight...

any help, and you guys would be my angels.. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
did u get CWM?? if not you gotta odin flash it buddy ....and for unlock search ... there is fairly easy way to unlock it .. if not shoot me PM ill help you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tnap1979:
ive sent a pm wizardslovak
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tnap1979:
well im still stuck with this piece of crap not flashing or doing anything,

i cant seem to find a compatible CWM for odin, cant seem to get any roms to flash in odin, they keep failing,

btw for all to know, this is a telus samsung sgh-t959p fascinate 4g

im about ready to give up and take a loss of $600, i hope someone has some info, the phone isnt even 5 days old and already seems to be garbage
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Sorry to tell you man but your out of luck as far as I know. This section is for the SGH-T959V not SGH-T959P. I know the phones look the same externally.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tnap1979:
its all good,

i took the phone back to bestbuy, got it swapped out for a HTC Desire HD

ive only had the DHD for maybe 7 hours, and its already unlocked, rooted, and coredroid desire hd 6.8 installed,

everything working perfectly, very happy with this phone,

mods can close this thread now if u wish, as i dont need it anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rryanosman:

[Acer Iconia A500] Gammelgustav:
The first time I´ve inserted my ext-sd in the slot I didn´t realised the little bigger (maybe 1.5cm) slot between the micro-sd slot.

There is a little sticker from ACER: "Warranty void if seal broken"

What the hell is under this sticker???

Anybody know without removing this and broke his warranty (why it is broken coz of this little slot??? is there the key for the nuclear bomb? :rolleyes:)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
That's just the slot for the SIM card on the A501 model. Universal case, y'know.

Don't put anything in there, it's just an empty socket. Your SIM will fall into the case if you try.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gammelgustav:
yes I thought so too...but its too small for a sim i think...or do you maenm a microsim?

BTW: why is my warranty void if I´m just curious what is this?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I thought they stopped using the big SIMs years ago? I've not seen one in 5+ years...

As for the sticker, you invalidate your warranty because.. you removed the sticker! :p

I guess it's because you could stick things in there and damage the tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] disruptorx:
i hope some one would find a aftermarket SIM module that can be soldered into the tab in the future..

[Acer Iconia A500] imonfire1358:
Probably works like the mattress police, you take the tag off your mattress and they invade your home and arrest you... You remove the sticker, you void the warranty and the Acer police invade your home and arrest you....

Except the mattress tags say specifically "To be removed by Consumer only"
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Universal Case

it's for the 501 model with wifi/3G

and there is no hardware hidden supporting the 3G feature on the 500 model

- do not open

- do not remove

- do not try

unless you got

soldering skills

mini-pcie slot

sim slot

etc... Waste of time... better buy a 3G model or just tether with a 3G phone easy less risky and pay only 1 fee :D

us warranty law

In the us opening this device will not void the warranty.but if you damage something by doing so will.and there is no reason to open this nothing serviceable or upgradeable inside.
