Thanks to Sdobron from the thread I had started, it looks like the My Account/My Device app may be the culprit. You can try killing the tasks/services and see if it helps. I personally just disabled both apps like I disabled all of the other bloatware, rebooted, and it seems to have fixed the problem so far (for the last hour anyway). Now I get only Wifi icon, not both Wifi and 4G, and the GPRS services is "Disconnected" as it should be when Wifi is on.

Hmmm did you disable any apps, and if so, which? Is your Wifi sleep policy set to "Never"?

Hi everyone

I've got a few questions about flashing an Android phone. I've tried going through KIES but unfortunately they don't have any updates for the below mentioned model.

I've got an GT-I5800XXXMST (Belgium telecom model) that I want to flash using Odin. I want to use the following image: I5800XWJPE.tar

1. Do I need to remove the sbl.bin, boot.bin and logo.png to play it safe? In that in that case I always retain the ability to flash

2. Do I need to edit the OPS file and remove the above mentioned entries?

3. Which OPS file should/can I use? Are they all the same for the I5800? (apollo_0531.ops)

4. Which version of ODIN do I need to use? I currently have I5800_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.252.exe

5. Do I need to backup my EMEI?

6. Simple and plain backup tool for upping my current os?

7. Any tips?

Many thanks all,

Tempert
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
1) Yes removing boot.bin and sbl.bin would be safe.

2) No need to edit ops or anything.

3) Ops is same for all ROMS(i.e. apollo_0531.ops).

4) The ODIN version that you have mentioned is the correct version. Use that.

5) Yes. Backing up IMEI would be good. For tutorial click here.

6) Use titanium backup to backup apps.
[Galaxy 3 General] Bubble-be:
1. yes, but you can download romfiles without those files in the forums

2. no, you just remove them from the tar archive

3. all the same

4. that's the one

5. better be safe, but I haven't had a problem with it

6. Alexgalaxy's backup script

7. read and search the forum
[Galaxy 3 General] rickslick:
Go for jpn or jpm . Yes you have to remove the files to avoid hardbrick. Dont worry its been done by dharamg3

use this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125387

After downloading from the above thread thread

Just use apollo_0531.ops for flashing using the odin that you have

Yes it is recommended to backup your IMEI

Use this thread for backup and restore of IMEI

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888193

The IMEI is stored in a partition called efs

And root your phone before you backup
[Galaxy 3 General] tempert:
Many thanks all!!

Verry clear answers :)
[Galaxy 3 General] tempert:
Running 2.2 happily :)

Yesss!
[Galaxy 3 General] Bubble-be:
Any luck with the backup of your original firmware ? ;) Could you share the factoryfs.rfs ?
[Galaxy 3 General] tempert:
I have tried to backup my phone with that Alexscript. Although It gave some errors about not finding some directories...

Will the factoryfs.rfs contain personal data?
[Galaxy 3 General] Bubble-be:
No, it's your system partition; personal info is stored in the data partition. You have root and your sdcard is big enough for the backup (500MB free should do it) ?

But if you have already flashed another rom, there's obviously no need. I thought about having an original "Orange" rom for when I need to use warranty on my phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] tempert:
It's a Mobistar rom. I think I have it but the .tar file was only 200Mb big if I remember correctly. I will try an upload it if I have the time.
[Galaxy 3 General] Bubble-be:
Hmm, yeah, I meant Mobistar obviously. :o

Sounds about right. You can zip it again to save a lot of space.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Qfire001:
So I go to check my order status at BB to see if it shipped late yesterday or last night and it says "Status - Back Ordered".

WTF!!!

Maybe I should just tell Sammy to go pound sand! I already have some concerns about them and their promises.:(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markp99:
My order now says "Being fulfilled. Usually ships in 1-2 days."

Dang it - I was hoping to cancel and run down to BB store and look for stock.

Oh well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Qfire001:
I guess that's the good news, I can run down to the store and check. Or at least call first thing this am.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
lucky i have one close to my job that has them available. taking an early lunch to pick it up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
I pre-ordered mine earlier this past weekend. BestBuy claimed they weren't going to ship them until today. So I canceled my order. Went online last night & purchased it for in store pickup. Got an Email about 30 minutes ago saying that my order is ready for pickup. Can't wait to the store opens so I can go grab it!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Qfire001:
Just looked and tried to do that and all stores within 50 miles of me here in SE FL say unavailable. I already cancelled my order also, oh well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] addisonhammer:
Turns out, if you just call up Customer support and ask nicely, they'll transfer your order to an in-store pickup location, and get priority over people who just ordered it last night/this morning.

Now thats customer service.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markp99:
Best Buy email just arrived = Shipped! Yay!

UPS does not list a delivery date at their tracking site yet - Boo!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] OneStepAhead:
Looks like our store in Madison only received 16gb models.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Qfire001:
Interesting enough, when I call the local stores they have the 16G White version. Guess Samsung made lots of those.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericlmccormick:
Once the status says "Processing" customer service can't do anything. I tried this morning to have them transfer my order to a local store.

Good news is that I just got a confirmation e-mail that it just shipped, but now I have to wait for it to arrive instead of grabbing it from the store.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Qfire001:
Thanks to substandard customer service, BB has lost my business. I called another store who also did not have the 32G version in stock but did notify me that they are showing the warehouse has units available if I wanted to do a store pickup. So I asked how could they have it in the warehouse and I get a back ordered status? The store customer service rep stated I should call the 888 number to find out. I did that and was abruptly told that the .com warehouse was different and they are obviously out of stock. So I tried to rationalize with her that why would BB take preorders and then not allocate units that they obviously have available. She states that "Sir I just told you that the .com uses a different warehouse". So I (with some sarcasm at this point) ask her if it is the same company. Well at no time did she offer to find one locally or go ahead and have one shipped to my local store and when

I

finally asked her if she could do that for me, I said never mind if I have to ask you to do that for me then I will just purchase from another business who values customer service. I assure you that at no time was I rude and only got sarcastic at the end of the conversation.

c'est la vie
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SR45:
For me....Only Best Buy stores that have them are way too far away. Local ones don't have them and unknown when either, so its the luck of the draw as to where Samsung ships to and how many to even bother driving for one just to be disappointed in selling out.

I would just a rather order online instead
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tdiman:
I couldn't find any BB stores in the state of Massachusetts that had the 32gb version, so I went online.

Circuit City claims to have an order today/ship today policy on the 32gb version. I went ahead a tried it - we'll see. I did it from their website, not from Amazon, and had to call them to ask them to process the order now.

I didn't know circuit city even existed anymore.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Berner:
Bummer about the horror stories. Not to make you feel bad, but I strolled into my local Best Buy about 15 minutes after opening today. No pre-order, no deposit, no nothing. Walked out with the 32GB Grey ... and they didn't charge me sales tax! That's a 9.75% (~$60) bonus!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Qfire001:
Good to hear someone had a good experience. I don't feel bad just a little jealous I guess. I'm actually thinking about just getting the Iconia instead. I have had the xoom and transformer but returned them both. The xoom for a charging issue and I just never liked the feel of the transformer, maybe just a little to wide and I have larger than avg hands.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] goalweiser:
I suffered from the same back-order issue. I pre-ordered one for my wife when I first got the e-mail from Samsung on 6/6/2011. Now you would think with my last name being at the beginning of the alphabet and my order being placed so early that I would be a shoe-in to receive one.

WRONG! I didn't receive an e-mail or anything. I'm a Silver Rewards member because of my continued customer loyalty...yet you can't even let me know what's going on before hand so I can order elsewhere.

I called 3 stores, checked online, did a online chat with Best Buy employee Brenda, and then talked to 4 different people through customer support. I heard different answers each time but the same result. "It shows as back-ordered but that it will ship in 1-2 business days." From the stores I heard "We haven't received our shipments yet but the ones we're getting are for pre-orders." The last statement was obviously a lie because ship-to-store has not been an option for any of the local 10 Best Buy stores.

How does any of this make sense? Yes I could come up with some patchwork logic to calm myself but at the end of the day, it's horrible customer service. I was respectful to each person I talked to. I didn't even complain. I went online to cancel my order and then called back to make sure it was done.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iamsupreme:
I'll keep it real simple. Worked for Best Buy for roughly 2 1/2 years during my younger days. During high school and then when I was in college in Tucson.

I hate Best Buy. From their "non-commission" approach they have the sales associates present shoppers with to their TERRIBLE phone customer service, the place is nothing but horrible experiences. I have a Rewards Silver account with them as well. I've spent way too much money to care to calculate with them and they continue to suck. I've shifted my purchasing from Best Buy to Amazon and am now a Prime Member with them (have been for over a year).

To stay on point with the OP, I went to Best Buy on Camelback in Phoenix this morning to see if they had any in stock. The PCHO (PC / Home Office) and Mobile Phone in store reps both told me they didn't get any in nor did the rest of the state of AZ. The only way I could get a Galaxy Tab was through Best Buy.com. This was after roaming around both departments for 10-15 minutes waiting for a sales rep to approach me (or even see one that I could approach for help). All immediately after the store had opened. Non-knowledgable, unwilling to help anyone sales reps and terrible supervisor / management that could give two craps less about your experience and care about nothing other than you buying a Geek Squad extended service plans and taking advantage of their financing offers.

I'm not buying a Galaxy Tab at all now nor am I, for any reason, shopping at Best Buy any longer (not like it's a huge deal... their stores have been dwindling in the number of shoppers for the past two years).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Qfire001:
At first thought it's nice to see that I am not alone, but it really is kinda of sad. I do hear lots of great things about Amazon and have purchased a couple of times through them, but i am still a little weary about online purchases. Not really rational since Amazon does in all regards appear to be very safe and easy even with respect to returns. So who knows maybe it is Amazon here I come!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iamsupreme:
Prime Membership is totally worth it if you shop on Amazon frequently. I do ALL of my Christmas shopping each year with them, never any hiccups. As a Prime member, you get FREE Two Day shipping on almost everything you buy along with no tax. It destroys whatever Best Buy offers these days. On new videogame releases, they are not only typically $5-10 cheaper, there is no tax and it arrives on the same day of release at my front door.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
In quiet environments I find it great, but if the environment becomes a bit noisy I find it too low...

The ringtones seem to be able to play with much higher volume than in-call conversations...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
Well coming from an Xperia X10 its fantastic!!! The xperia was absolutely dire, even in a quite environment it was impossible to hear people. So the SGS2 is a breath of fresh air, haven't tried it in a really noisy area but out in reception here at work its fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
I don't understand it, when I'm in the car (which is a pretty noisy environment) the GPS navigation voice is very high through the speaker, but if someone calls in, his voice is not nearly as high through this same speaker as it was for navigation, how come ? (and yes, during call I'm using the volume rocker to give max volume).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Nope, it's not very high. I've to hold the device very tight in my ear to get the other callers voice, it's always set on max btw.

The best in call volume I used were in the phones like, BB 9000, X1, Wave, E71 etc, I9100 is no where near them, but not as bad as SE W,K or T series phones.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
On maximum volume it's more than high enough in my view, no issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unamrakerag:
Its not high enough, when I am traveling in local trains I am hardly able to hear anything, That's why I will keep my head phones around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzyahmed:
i too have come from using an xperia x10 which had appalling in call volume. but the galaxy s2 call volume is great and sounds good for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
My SGS 2 is incredibly loud on full volume on calls, louder than my HTC Desire which is very loud indeed, but I find the clarity of the calls a little off as they have a little bit too much bass and I struggle to understand people 100% of the time.

Volume though, at least on mine, is very high, just right when outside and its noisy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da13:
on max volume mine is quite loud.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
...and that's why Nokia 1200 is still a hot cake device in India.

Anyway, I changed my view. It's the more or less same earpiece volume exists in all GS II, it just depends in what condition you are in, in Local train in India or in Local train in UK/US. It's the outside noise what matters. I too find it high when I am in home or in car. I don't think there is any problem with the earpiece volume.

Regards.

My friend gave me yesterday this phone and said that he blocked his phone because he had forgotten screen lock´s pattern. He has no gmail account and he wasn´t using market, email or similar stuff. Now the phone is stucked on screen where you should put your gmail account if you want to unlock it again. So I think that´s only way how to do it is to flash new firmware and I don´t know how.
[GT540 Optimus General] Danzano:
Why not force boot to recovery and wipe or restore?
[GT540 Optimus General] stevicc:
do you mean CW recovery? no there is no recovery
[GT540 Optimus General] ChriisM:
I guessing that it is stock?

Ok so what you going to do is this.

A HARD reset.

This will erase Everything thats on the phone. So that means no market apps or accounts. It will be completly stock

Directions:

Turn on your phone, then when at lock screen or other, press this combination

Press Volume up + Home + Search key for 5secs

Either flashing Downgrade image and then Stock partition table or using a RUU.

I was wondering if the inner back plate can be purchased anywhere, as my camera lens cover is pretty scratched up and I want it replaced.

Could not find anything on google or ebay search.
[LG Optimus 2x] Optimus2XPrime:
WARNING: Internal SD content will be erased

To begin with go here and download the ROM of your country/region

Secondly download smartflash and drivers from here and install them

Now run SmartFlashTool_P990.exe

Turn the phone off,remove the battery and connect the phone to pc via usb while holding down the vol.down button.

Now you should be able to see the software upgrade screen, and COM port of smartflash will change automatically.

Now in smart flash select "ROM Copy D/L"

Make sure that "Normal Mode" is checked and "Erase Cal" is NOT checked

In AP Bin click browser and select the (BIN) file

In CP Bin click browser and select the (FLS) file

Click start, sit back and wait :)

I'll try to remember next time that I return to stock rom record it and upload it :)

Hello,

Sorry for my english.

Yesterday, i want to flash the new 606 baseband on my LG O2X.

I use smartflash but i was wrong in using this program.

I have cheked the box "Erase CP" and now my O2X does'nt find the network. My phone send "carte incorrect" or "No network".

My SIM work in another phone and another SIM work in my phone.

I try to flash all the other baseband like 208, 318 or 405 but each time the problem is the same, i have no network.

I don't know what to do.

Thank you.
