My samsung drivers are no good and finding them is almost impossible with all the spam sites. I dont get how I have adb but nothing else. How many freakin sets of drivers can it take.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
So when your phone plugged into the pc with modem on and go to device manager, samsung modem isnt under modems? Windows update found my driver for samsung modem diagnostics....wierd

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Its there but it's got the yellow triangle. Windows can't find the drivers and the ones I installed are no longer supported. I just noticed odin doesn't find my phone now either
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
What pc system you usin?

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Windows 7
[Nexus S General] zikronix:
theres a website somewhere where you can download them to
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
If you got Windows 7 64 bit you'll have a hard time getting Samsung drivers to work. Try Windows 7 32 bit.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
http://db.tt/JV8PfWT

these are the drivers for our phone. when manually pointing your pc to the driver, only point as far as x64 or x86 directories and no further. Your pc will find the correct one it needs.

Just unzip to somewhere on your pc you can remember so you know where to point it to
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I have those installed already.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Ok. Sorry

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Dont be. I just reinstalled them right before you posted hoping that was the problem but they are different drivers
[Nexus S General] ehac1680:
Is your pc amd64? If so give this a shot... http://forum.androidcentral.com/480181-post1.html
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
It is and Ill check that out right now :)* Im pretty sure those are the same drivers snandlal posted up^^ there
[Nexus S General] forumx2:
Is there a way to change your PRL using a mac?
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
I wish someone or a team would create a radio control app of some sort. I think that would be really helpful. Sprintmenu.apk is a good example of this. But our app could be more access to more controls

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] zikronix:
does anyone remember the site (was also posted in the evo forum) where you can actually download the prls

found it

https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=eabe29f3770d8d15&id=EABE29F3770D8D15!678

also reports of 01120 are out which I attached
[Nexus S General] smalltownbird:
When I see that a new prl is out I Google the prl number and eventually find a post somewhere where someone pulled it from their phone. You have to search but they are out there
[Nexus S General] teshxx:
how do you make a flashable from .prl ? is 01120 safe to flash on crespo4g ?
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Is it possible to flash a new prl through recovery? Or fastboot?
[Nexus S General] dgaf98:
Hey I don't know if you got it working or not, but I too have win 7 64bit. If you download PDA net. It will install all the drivers u need. Worked great for me.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Thank you :) I will give that a try after work.
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Still a no-go unfortunately. Re-installed Samsung drivers when it asked during PDANet installation. I still don't get a new COM port for modem and QPST doesn't see the phone. Win7 x64. :mad:
[Nexus S General] Leukay:
Try downloading that one click root script that someone wrote in the dev section. I couldn't get the correct drivers installed for the life for me, but the ones he included in one click root worked perfectly
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
This will work i promise. I have x64 windows 7. I had trouble at first but i wasnt doing it right. You have to choose the "let me pick" option. Your phone needs to be in modem mode with ! Showing next to it under "modems" in device manager. For qpst, delete all other ports showing and create your port showed in properties of samsung diagnostic modem. I will do a step by step for you guys when i get home so i can tell u exactly what windows says as far as drivers installing manually. You can only point to the directory "x64" and no further.

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Damn. That makes perfect sense. Just like you have to be in bootloader to install the fastboot drivers. Should have thought about that lol. Thanks for pointing that out. Will be looking for your step by step.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
well since i found a dead pixel last night ill just wait until i get my replacement
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
http://db.tt/JV8PfWT is the link for drivers.zip

1. Download this and extract "drivers" to c:\

2. Go to your dialer on the phone and type *#*#8778#*#*

3. The phone utility will come up. Under "USB" select MODEM

4. Go to your Device Manager on your pc and click on "Modems" and then right-click "SAMSUNG Mobile Modem" or "unknown device" and select "Update Driver Software".

5. It will ask you how you want to search for driver software, select "browse my computer for driver software"

6. Next it will ask you to browse for driver software, browse to c:\drivers (what you unzipped earlier)

7. After getting to c:\drivers you will see 3 folders: google-usb_driver, x86, & x64.............click on x64 if you have a 64bit system..................click on x86 if you have a 32bit system

8. Click OK

9. Now click NEXT and it will give you a warning but go ahead and let it install anyways.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Awesome thanks bud :)
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Thanks snandlal! I'll give this a shot when I get back home. The issue I've been having is that my phone won't show up anywhere in Device Manager except for Android Phone. I'll uninstall the drivers I have in there now and start from scratch though. Hoping this will work.

Thanks again.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
snandlal, I knew I had tried that way. It doesnt work for me. A window pops up and tells me to dl the drivers for my phone from samsung, it dl's them and installs, but I still get the yellow triangle. Its really odd because I use to be able to odin my phone and cant now.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Dangit! Another USB port?

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Is there a way to keep Win7 from installing drivers automatically? As soon as I plug my phone in, it automatically installs Nexus S drivers...from where I have no idea.

Regardless, I don't get a modem or new port in Device Manager. Just a new entry for Android ADB Interface under an Android Phone section.

***EDIT - I somehow got it to not install the driver automatically. Followed snandlal's steps exactly. Everything went great, but still nothing except Android ADB Interface in Device Manager :( Won't pick it up as a modem for some odd reason.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
my phone doesnt show up under modems when i put it in modem mode and plug it in. its under other devices

Im about to lose it lol. I cant believe it wont work for me
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Yep - exactly what mine does if it doesn't install the drivers automatically.

I am too. I really want to try a few other PRLs and see if it helps with my signal. If anyone else has any ideas, throw them out please. I'll try anything at this point.
[Nexus S General] eagercrow:
I'm in the same boat as you guys, I can't get my phone to show up as a modem, or anything other than the adb device (cant remember exactly what its called, don't have cable with me.)
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Eager...are you on Win7 64bit?
[Nexus S General] pierre1321:
Did most of these steps in 1 click root. Does this basically allow QPST to read your phone port so you can change the prl. If not then what are step to change. Just switched from Evo 4g, just had to change those to 0 and 0.0.0.0, but told that NS4G bypasses these ports so Evo hack won't work on NS4G.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
none of any of this is working for me. once i click on the drivers it says windows could not install the drivers and it seems like today i have nearly 0 reception what so ever. sprint now has a ticket open. hopefully theyll just push the prl to me
[Nexus S General] pierre1321:
Did steps, only thing that shows under modem is laptop modem.phone shows up as Samsung CDMA under other devices.
[Nexus S General] cadams14:
Still non-working for updating prl

I tried both on a 64 bit Windows 7 and a 32 bit Windows Vista. Neither worked. I tried to up the drivers and made sure USB debugging was turned off. I cant seem to get the phone to show up under QSPT configuration with the serial and nor adding ports listed in the device manager. I would like to extract the prl I have and upload which is prl 60679. I never seem to have this many issues with the EPIC for prl updates except for USB debugging on and re-installing the drivers. I did the instructions word for word and even reverted back to PRL instructions from the EPIC. None worked. If someone has insight or word for word with what they did, and what used, and if it was stock rooted, stock, odexed, or what ever made it work I will try. Had phone since 06/14. My phone is ODEXED rooted GRJ22.:(
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
anyone near the Chicago/Joliet area wanna get treated to a fine meal of your choice?

then update the PRL on this damn thing for me
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Lol. Great idea...
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
im gonna give that rom of yours a whirl.

apparently theres been an outage/ open ticket in my area since the 12th........the day i bought my phone.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Take the 3 files in /drivers-->x64-->modem and copy/paste them on your pc in \windows\win32\drivers

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Nothing new after copying the files. Any other ideas snandlal?
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
While in *#*#8778#*#* and usb has modem checked,usb debugging and usb storage should not be showing. Is your phone showing in device manager as anything?

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Hmm. Yes, usb debugging and storage are showing while I'm in 8778 (Have the entire status bar). Phone shows up under Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface only. Nothing under Modems and no new Ports.

USB Debugging shouldn't be turned off for this, correct? Thanks again!
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Correct debugging should be on. But when plugged into pc, niether icons(debugging & usb storage)should be visible. If u can see them while in 8778, then your phone is not in the right mode. Try another kernel

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Not all kernels will put the phone in, we'll call it, "modem mode" if you all having problems would try stock kernel...might be it

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
OK - making progress! It seems it probably was the kernel. Now in device manager I get a SAMSUNG CDMA Technologies entry with the yellow ! but when I try to update drivers using what you posted previously (pointing to x64 folder), it doesn't find a driver. Any clues?
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
That is exactly what I get no matter what kernel I'm using
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
same thing for me
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Uninstall, delete data, reboot pc, let me choose, have disk, point to it

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Idk fellas
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Thanks anyway snandlal - and for taking the time to try to help us out...much appreciated. I'll keep jacking with it for a few hours tonight and see if I can get it working with some other Samsung drivers.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
this is not about the NS4G, but it is about signal strength. Just check it out, and grab that app he used...

http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d/360306-signal-strength-analysis-evo-3d-evo-4g.html
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
GOT IT!!! First off - thanks to snandlal for getting me on the right track with the kernel - must be stock apparently.

OK, figured it out when I was trying some x64 Galaxy S drivers. I can now connect to my phone in QPST. I haven't gotten any further than that yet. Have to leave and head to daughter's softball game. Let me know if this helps anyone.

I create a step by step (with screen shots and a link to the drivers I used) of how I got it to work. It's a PDF.

INSTRUCTION DOWNLOAD LINK

DRIVER DOWNLOAD LINK
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
the link for the drivers is dead :/
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
These two kernels from Opensoju also allow modem mode

glad you got it
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Just worked for me mikey...

Search Google for Samsung Galaxy S USB drivers x64. I believe its the first link. Have to hit download and then next page another link on the right.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
all i get is a bunch of spam sites man. not really sure which of the million links it is
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Lol. Yeah, it's a cluttered site. I'll post the driver package directly when I get home and can upload it.

Sorry for the confusion :)
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
No worries man. Thank you for figuring it out
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Try this. Uploaded from my phone so hope it worked.

***EDIT - See Post 62 in this thread for download link to Galaxy S x64 drivers***
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
OK. finally got the drivers installed. when i go to write the new prl. the write to phone button is greyed out. any ideas guys?
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
mikey - where are you downloading your PRLs? I found a site yesterday and can't find it again. Which PRL are you trying to go to? I'll try it here in a sec if I can find the PRL site I'm looking for and update you on how it went.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Here is 2 prls. the 00001 is a hybrid and the other is one of sprints most recent. i have the ports#'s and it allows me to add them in qpst but it says no phone is connected
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Had this problem at first as well. I uninstalled QPST and reinstalled it and everything worked fine. Might try that?

I'll let you know what I get here when I try to flash this. ***EDIT - dang - I already have 01115. I was looking for 01119 or 01120.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
lol, i just reinstalled and it still does it
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
Man - I don't know. It was kind of finicky at first. Once I finally got it to see my phone, it saw it every time after that. Mine was COM8 (it was the one that was added after driver installation). It would only show up in the list in QPST if I UN-checked the Show Only USB/QC Diagnostic Ports under the Add Ports tab in Configuration. I actually think I may have had to add that port, reboot QPST and let it sit for a minute. It seems like it took a bit to actually recognize the phone after I was in 8778 with Modem set.

I just successfully updated to 01119 and don't see any immediate increase in signal or speed.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
as stated in another thread.............

a fine meal at the place of your choice to make this **** happen....

i follow what instructions i can understand but thats it and that aint sayin much
[Nexus S General] oubravs2b:
hellcat - did you see my post #62 in this thread? I have some instructions and new drivers that may help. Hopefully I'm clear enough in the instructions - let me know if you need help. I'm going to be out most of the weekend, but should be available a bit tonight.
[Nexus S General] pierre1321:
Edit: must be tired, obviosly zip is called x64. I need a x86 zip. Any ideas?

Followed step exactly, as per the PDF file post #62. Go to Samsung 64 folder the USB folder, what after that. Those 4 or 5 files not in a folder don't show up, all folders show though. Do i need to rename the file? Using windows XP Home, used 1 click root, on stock. Do i need to do this on Windows 7 or....
[Nexus S General] cadams14:
I tried for a long time to update my prl. With no success until today. I did it with Window 7 64 bit.

**in QPST if I UN-checked the Show Only USB/QC Diagnostic Ports under the Add Ports tab in Configuration.

I am encountering issues on my wifi network when accessing webpages and other content (though particularly webpages). I have tried using the stock browser as well as alternatives (Dolphin HD).

This is a relatively recent issue and I had not encountered problems with my home network at all previously. Any help or suggestions at all would be appreciated. I'm sure i'm not providing all needed information so if you have anything else you need to know, just ask.

P.S: No other device has trouble utilizing the network.

Not sure if this is the same problem or not.

My WIFI shows as being connected even when it is not connected. Thus, it appears that I am connected but data is in fact NOT working.

I tested this by choosing an encrypted wifi connection in my neighborhood and entering a random password. To my suprise IT CONNECTED! Nope, not really. it just showed like it was connected, it really showed that I had connected to my neighbors encrypted WIFI- but when I opened the browser to navigate I got nothing. Fooled me.

Any ideas? Running SFR 1.2 with Genocide and EC05 baseband.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Probably more of a general Android question, but thought I'd give it a go here. On way to work shortly, so apologies for my lack of proper search.

Once upon a time on my SGS, someone showed me where these icons are located - I'm sure I'll find them again, but I guess I'll have to do some kind of text realignment, which is probably out of my depth.

I just want my contacts to show as a list - no icons, no photos.

Stock KE2, rooted via CWM, have Root Explorer.

Many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction - will do further research when I get to work.

Might not be what you want but you could replace the image with a blank one in the framework or twframework file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex200:
No. Pictures(res\drawable-hdpi-finger\contacts_default_image_small_01 - 05.png) are in Contact.apk file. When I remove'em from it - empty spaces remain there - so it's not expand Contacts lines to that space... So we need to encrease table row size...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikai_yang:
Well, the contacts db is located here:

/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db

I don't know how you plan to decipher this file. It's neither xml nor plist (like iphone).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
I just checked go contacts ex and it can do what you want via a setting. Works very well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarobun:
The contacts2.db is a sqlite database file. You'll need the sqlite3 executable to view it's contents (eg. sqlite3 contacts2.db).

Don't think it'll do what the OP wants as it contains contact details and not the layout of the contact list. Think you'll need to decompile the apk and edit one of the drawable/*.xml files.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Haven't really looked at this but a guess would be it's one of the .XMLs in res/laout in the Contact.apk where you can edit out the imageview for the photo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarobun:
Yep, looks like it's in res/layout/favorite_contact_list_item.xml

I tried GO launcher. Wasn't a fan of it. Anyway on ICS these picture icons are even more of a pain! Why do you need a picture of yourself next to every text you send in the thread!?!? And why do you need a picture of the person you are texting next to their text. Have a picture of the person on the list of threads fine.... but not in the thread itself thats stupid and takes up to much screen space.

Who wrote that into ICS? Not an improvement!

Has anymore found a way to change it in ICS?

A little bit slow to be honest but at least it works
