[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irBenn:
Hi,

I've had my SGS for 3 months roughly. In that time I've had varying connectivity via the usb cable to the pc. The reason I post here is I've scouted around forums including this one for about a month trying various things and.. well with no success.

On my Home PC which is Windows 7 64 bit Home premium, I get Unknown device. With or with out the drivers installed so it's connecting but not recognising the device, I've tried re-installing the drivers numerous times, tried cleaning the usb cable, various USB ports (front and back) with no luck. I've cleaned the registrys relating to Samsung drivers and I've tried to tweak the .inf files all with no prevail. I've tried everything apart from a re-format (Which I am trying to avoid but is looking likely).

On my Work PC, Windows 7 Professional 32bit, I get perfect connectivity in Mass Storage, Kies, Media and Debugging mode, but again I get 'Device not recognised' when I plug it in download mode, Basically I can't flash it :( again I've tried everything I can think of to try and get it to realise it's the same device in download mode but with no prevail (Formatting the pc is not an option here)

Similarly I have a Machine running Windows Vista 32 bit at home and I get the same results as my Work PC.

I really want to get a Custom ROM and Gingerbread on my SGS (Can't upgrade through kies because, well it's kies and its not recognising that I am on froyo and thinks I am up to date).

If anyone has any tips or ideas I would really appreciate the help :)

i am also having the same problem i am using windows xp sp3 32 bit.i tried several methods windows not recognizing the galaxy s in download mode.

Any method to solve this problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beias:
Same here but I don't get a connection anywhere. I tried it on 3 different PC's with 2 different USB-cables, with drivers and without. All I get is unknown device in any mode (download, mass storage, kies, media).

Meanwhile I did a factory reset on my phone but it's still not working.

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irBenn:
Okay, so now I've tested it on two fellow work colleagues computers running XP, again same results as my work pc and my vista rig, connects fine for mass storage and Kies but not recognising the device in download mode, its not returning any details about the device, not manufacturer id, no hardware id..

I am going to try see if I can get a connection in Ubuntu tonight, I'll post my results, failing that I might take a look inside to see if there is any damage near the micro usb port on my phone.

If I find out how to fix it I'll be sure to post it

I know it sounds simple but a guy recently took of back cover, 6 screws, and had a check on the pins, gave them a very careful tweak and bingo, also another found crack in soldering, just something to check, hope it helps :)

Yesterday I went to a friend cuz his dad repairs watches so he has these ultra tight magnifying glasses. He had a look at the USB-port and saw that everything has been oxidated. And since the USB-port isn't just screwed or connected (else I could easily replace it) I'll send it to the responsible reapir shop. Hope they can handle it :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oprlms:
Don't try to play with the internal of the phone. Everybody know that this issue is known by more people. It depends mostly on your firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beias:
just to give you a little feedback cuz i think some are interested:

As said I've send my Galaxy S to the repair shop and they told me that there's a water damage which might be cuz I've been walking trough the rain and have been wet all over.

If there's a water damage Samsung does not give a guarantee for that. Also the repair shop told me that there's only one way to repair it which would be to replace everything inside.. and for that money I prefer to buy a new phone so I just ordered the Nexus S.

Does anyone know what I can do with my "old" damaged Galaxy S?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sap7e:
You can sell your 'old' and 'broken' galaxyS, add the money for the Nexus and invest them in a Galaxy S2.

And if someone still has problems with their usb connection they could try reinstalling the latest drives from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961956

Hello, I just completely scrubbed the phone and started over with SimpleMod.

The problem is that I don't remember what app gave me the ability to set this value. It is dead useful in the car when using the navigator or playing music connected to the radio via USB.

Does anybody know how to enable this ability?

Ive just flashed juwe's 5.0 and now there is no baseband version meaning i cant make or recieve calls or anything like that. What do i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
You've flashed correctly and done all the steps described in the flashing manual? If you had Froyo before: did you flash a Gingerbread-firmware including bootloader?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeraj15:
I was on gingerbread jvp so I assumed I already had the gingerbread bootloaders, correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Well, if you update from Froyo to Ginger via Odin you have to flash a Ginger-vresion including the bootloaders (here on XDA there are mostyl versions WITH and version WITHOUT bootloader available, and you need one WITH bl.). ;)

You could try to flash a modem seperatly with Odin, but normally everything should work with Juwe's 5.0.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeraj15:
But i wasnt on froyo, i was on gingerbread so i must of already had gingerbread bootloaders? Anyway if i didnt have the bootloaders why did it still boot me into juwe 5.0?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Hm, ok. Were you able to make calls with your previous Ginger-ROM?

If I was you I'd flash stock-Ginger again and - if the telephone-function works - flash Juwe's 5.0.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeraj15:
Yes I was able to make calls.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simone201:
Just flash a modem!

U can pick the JVP one from my rom addons
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simone201:
Modems are UNIVERSAL for ALL roms! ;)

Flash directly with no probs
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Not correct, there are seperatly modems for CM7 for example. But for Samsung-based ROMs you are right. ;)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] palmerx:
So far, so good. Only problem was the calendar but the hotfix worked like a charm.

My only comment is that I still have the CRT animation. Is it because I installed it over CM6 v5.0?

Hey everyone, so I think this would be the right forum for this specific question. I used these steps:

http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

So I'm not sure if the AOSP questions go here. Anyway, I just had a question. How do you know when the AOSP is done compiling? I had a few errors along the way that I fixed but I didn't see any "success, build complete" or anything. Just sort of stopped. Any specific lines that determine a successful build?

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narcoustic:
I've been really happy with the battery life of the s2, however every now and again the phone randomly reboots and I lose as much as 10%+ battery instantaneously.

In one instance I lost about 80% or so as soon as I took it off charge!! I'm not sure what is causing this but would be grateful if anyone knows a solution or is having the same problem.

There's a few screen shots below to highlight the problem.

[Desire General] cevacu2005:
i have htc desire, and just installed Cool Aces v7.It's a great ROM but i was having a hard time managing apps for free space so i decided to install data2sd.

-I partitioned sd card with ROM manager.

-reflashed ROM

-imediatly without rebooting i installed A2SDkillerV11.zip

-the next step was to reboot but here is were my phone got stuck at the boot logo.

any ideas?
[Desire General] zeyarwynntun:
Try partitioning using G-parted in stead of Rom-Manager
[Desire General] Lothaen:
how long did you leave it?

I read that data2sd can take up to 20 mins to sort itself out in some cases
[Desire General] cevacu2005:
probably not 20 mins.i will try that.10x for the tip
[Desire General] Lothaen:
hehe - its exactly what problem I ran into when I tried a data2... rom - only waited about 5-10 mins then flashed RUU/another rom... I should have waited longer to be honest as it probably would have worked :)

be interesting to know if it works or not!
[Desire General] cevacu2005:
i will keep you posted.i ran into another problem now.my sd card doesn't mont.i have to fix that now and after i can try again
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i had similar problem which ended up being a corrupt SD card - sent it back and bought a new one...

tried running the hkw2test thing on it?
[Desire General] cevacu2005:
looks like the problem is a bit more serious now.u i try to wipe my data and cache i get this error Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists) so i am pretty sure i messed up my internal partion.i looked it up and i found a very interesting post that tells you what to do in this case.but my problem is now that i am supossed to use adb shell to fix it but when i try to push the files i get this error: /sbin/sh:adb not found

i fixed this problem and now i am back to the original problem.the one i opened this topic for.i reflashed the rom and data2sd.now i am wainting for it to boot.it's been 10 mins now and still nothing.i will leave it for another 20 maybe i get lucky
[Desire General] PlayPetepp:
Did you boot the rom after applying a2sdkiller? You should boot it up, run initial setup wizard skipping everything until it goes to the homescreen, then untick fastboot in settings>power, reboot to recovery and only then apply data2sd script. After installation of data2sd reboot and use the newly set up rom in any way u like with unlimited storage.

Hi,

I'm looking for a tester for lightflow with the desire z / g2.

They need to have root access and ideally be familiar with being able to run adb commands.

I'm trying to get the app to be able to control the jogball light when you get a notification. I've a few ideas, but without a phone to test them on it's hard to know if I will have any luck.

PM me if interested.
[Galaxy S II General] Lupusoff:
I have updated google maps to the latest update yesterday and now google maps has 2 processes constantly running/sitting in memory and power consumption went up a lot. Battery usage also shows now that google maps is using quite a bit of power, which never happened before. Has anyone noticed the same thing or is it just me?
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
have you logged into Lattitude?
[Galaxy S II General] Lupusoff:
Nope, I never use Latitude. Just checked and it is off.

Actually I have just uninstalled the update and was able to kill maps process and it didn't come back. Then installed it back and now, even if I kill google maps in the running apps manager, it immediately comes back
[Galaxy S II General] troed:
Well, THAT happened/happens on mine from the very first beginning even with no maps-update after unboxing and I received one of the first batches of SGS II in Europe.

But since I do not have a batt drain prob (even with heavy use my SGS II lasts minimum 24 hrs) I did not mind maps consuming SOME power ................

.......... and BTW I wouldn´t know how to stop maps-proc since I am (still) not rooted...............
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Mine stops eating battery if I disable "use wireless network" under "Location and security". But of course it takes longer to locate me since it needs to get a GPS fix each time I use Maps.
[Galaxy S II General] CarpathianUK:
That was the pair of tips I used to get the use I needed with no background process killing my battery. don't update the app for now until I hear the issue is sorted and only use the GPS, not wireless network, to navigate. The latter part is fine as the GPS lock is so fast anyway - usually about a second or two to be down to about 60ft or less.

The extra bonus is that if I'm out with only a 3G connection then dropping the wireless part under "location and security" also stops the wireless services from kicking in on the back of the maps system trying to use it for location. I can be using my phone all day and not have "wi-fi sharing" pop up and start gobbling up %'s even by the end of the day.
[Galaxy S II General] Touranaga:
I got same issue - Maps process starts randomly and stays up for long time last time I saw it it was 125h consuming up to 14% of battery :/ quite annoying if you kill the process it pops up back again right away...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
That Latitude stuff is horrible for battery.

[Galaxy S II General] Jiggity Janx:
Possibly the cache map tiles in advance (forget the exact title) in the maps menu is checked and is downloading even when you don't have maps open?
[Galaxy S II General] ankitkidd05:
Just disable "use wirelrss network" in settings...it should do the trick...seems like it updates your location continuously when you set that feature on....you can always turn it back on when you actually have to use maps....

My problem is that the battery used by gps nd google maps is enormous.... :-(

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Ok, so I have downloaded a couple of ROM ... CM, NSCollab, Oxygen, Infinity, Liquid and 2 more.

Would it be possible for me to for example to open the rom zip file and add a couple of ringtones to the particular folder that contains ring tones? Can I also take out/delete the ones I don't like?

The second part ... taking out apps I don't need or adding some? How about that? Not safe for a novice like me? Or is it easy?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yes its literally just as easy as you said. you can do exactly that, remove apks from the ROM, remove or add ringtones, then flash your own custom ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, simple answer. or you can flash the rom, then add/remove what you like. whichever is easiest for you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Hey ... thanks for those replies!

Simms22, the reason I wanted to modify the zip file is that when I manually copied the ringtones to the right folder in my phone, I ended up with a lot of duplicates ... a duplicate for each ringtone that I had earlier. This inspite of the fact that I had said overwrite.

Thanks again :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Ok! So, I took the Oxygen Rom as base ... tried deleting a couple of ringtones ... no luck ... it just would not.

I then tried adding a ring tone and no luck there either :(

Do you think it would be ok if I extracted the whole thing, deleted, added and played with it before zipping it all up it would be fine?

Do you think there would be signing issues?

Thanks again for any help :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenix:
If you aren't already, try using Winrar (assuming your in windows) to add/delete ringtones..

Otherwise, you should be able to extract it, make the changes and zip it back up.. In CWM, you can toggle signature verification on/off. Turn it off n' flash..
