[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Damn it looks like you have no cache. Try re-odining and if that doesn't help then you will have to do what chadster suggested and grab the pit for flashing kd1. BEFORE YOU DO THAT THOUGH HAVE YOU TRIED MOUNTING THE CACHE AND REBOOTING.(REMEMBER MOUNT MEANS UNMOUNT AND VICE VERSA)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zenofsong:
Cache will not mount period. Ill try the gb pit. Where can I grab the kd1 pit?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
If you look in the sgs4g bible there is a .pit there but you might want to pm a more knowledgeable person than me(like dsexton702 or mad_fitter)because I haven't had to use a pit. Just pm them and tell them your situation and I'm sure they will help you. Hope you get things going again and sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zenofsong:
You have been a great help actually.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Well then I'm glad I could be of assistance :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zenofsong:
All issues resolved.

solution:

Odin gb package (all four files)

Odin Kd1

wiped system, cache, formated system cache data, dalvik wipe, battery stats wipe

flashed blackice

backup

ext4converter

restore blackice backup

Booted up properly!

Special thanks to chadster
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
No problem.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Thanks for helping him out I though it was the issue I was having but even though I was receiving the cache error I could still mount/unmount cache. What weird is its gone( the error) and my cache is back to rfs while my system and data are ext4. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
it seems that your cache partition did not convert since you are having that error mounting cache. I suggest to do the steps he just did and then convert to ext4. I know that eventhough you're getting an error you can still go to recovery. but the problem is it will not format or clear the cache partition. so the only fix is to odin the pit. make sure that the pit matches the rom you a you're flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Couldn't I just leave the cache rfs and the system/data be ext4? I mean I'm not expericing any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] imjwoo:
I am having the same issue. Can I ask where you got all four files? Is it self explainatory by the file name which one goes in the pit, pda, phone and bootloader? If not would you mind elaborating?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I saw the same thing on my phone. I see that all 3 are ext4 in voodoo control and everything works fine...unless I am experiencing problems and I don't know it. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Hey guyz..here is a guide to extract max juice from quadrant.

1)Enable Stagefright (replace build.prop with mine)

2)install a task manager

3)Download terminal emulator from market(or use adb)

4)type this :

su

mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /data/data/com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant.ui.advanced

5)it gives better scores than oclf and all changes are lost on reboot!

6)if anyone has installed lagfix,plz see this and try if u get score higher than 3427.

7)also try chainfire to increase 3d

8)run a custom benchmark ,in coridor,select off volumetric shadows.

NOTEIf u hav quadrant free version,then replace advanced with standard

Warning:Stagefright hampers ur phones media capabilties.this tweak is just for funs sake.the code is lost at reboot.

and btw,i have a pathetic class2 8 gb micro sd card as internal memory:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Does this work with lag fix installed?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
yes,but have to see by how much the scores inflate.would u like to try?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I'll try it.. Is it safe? And if something gies wrong can it be fixed by reflashing?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
nothing can go wrong,its a simple hack,just transfers quadrant folder to ram.all changes except lagfix and stagefright will b lost upon reboot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I'll try it now.. Report to u later..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
One question.. What is stagefright? Is it the same as root explorer? Is it used to change the build.prop.?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I get it now... Just simply replace build.prop to enable it..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] SiL3nTKiLL:
good guide! will use this tommorow
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
It says mount:no such file or directory
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Nvm.. Just change andvanced to standard..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Here's my result.. When using antutu benchmark i always got a constant score of 2100+ but when i used quadrant benchmark my score before the fix is 1600-1800+ but after the fix i simultaneously scored 2100+ 2300+ 2400+.. Thanks for the fix.. May i know what was the tweak being done? The stagefright something? What is it for?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
My quadrant score in Qadrant Standard before ranges from 1500-1800 but now it ranges from 2100-2500.. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
If anyone want to add the stagefright tweak then do this in your build.prop just replace false with true like this

media.stagefright.enable-player=false => true

media.stagefright.enable-meta=false => true

media.stagefright.enable-scan=false => true

media.stagefright.enable-http=false => true

media.stagefright.enable-record=false => true
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Stagefright is for what exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Changed back to my original build.pro.. It seems that when i apply this it crashes my video recording capabilities.. After converting back my camera didn't crash anymore..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
well of course.....stagefright hampers ur media capabilities
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I changed back to my original build.prop.. Do i need to do anything else to change it back to original?

Like mounting or something?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
no dude just the one
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Thanks bro.. Glad to be one of your test dummies.. Haha.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
After i replaced the build.prop with my original the youtube crashed.. I mean when i try to play a video it f**ked up the video playing capabilities.. Do u know how to fix this.?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Nvm.. Fixed it.. I just removed the battery..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Same thing happened again.. Pls help!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
omg...this shouldnt b happening....did u do smthing else?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
None.. What was the use of

Su

Mount -t tmpfs etc..

The one you mentioned earlier.. Maybe that contribuyed to the problem..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
i dont think so,my fone is working perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
How can i undo that mount?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
it undoes itself when u reboot the phone
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Hmmm.. What was the use of that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
it moves the com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant.ui.advanced in/data/data to ram,so increases I/O
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
How can i fix this.. Pls help me :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
No.idea buddy...did u do everything correctly....wat r the current issues
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Yes i did.. When i play videos it plays ok.. Then somtimes when i get to hq videos and put it to landscape the video playback is ruined.. When i try to open my camera it is just the same as when.i play hq or normal videos..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cakdavid:
Is this modification improve the performance of our i9003?

Or just increase the benchmark score?

thanks dude!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
Benchmark just

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
good trick buy useless cause quadrant doesn't mean real world performance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
I would suggest you add the warning on OP regarding the loss of media capabilities. Many ppl are not aware of stage fright here, so it would help noobs to decide whether they should try something like this or not. Please also mention that this is just for fun sake and does not add any real world performance to the user interface blahh.. blahh... Just a suggestion to avoid unnecessary questions..:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
Stagefright is the new media framework for android, but as good as it sounds Google did it just as nice as MS' media foundation, so it can screw up your device media playback/recording capability. Still I have seen Samsung enabled stagefright for the Tab in http streaming only, it fares well there. I haven't check my XXKPE phone build.prop as I haven't rooted it to see what these settings are at, someone can do that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] quan815:
this way is only increase the quadrant(fake data) or really can change the performance of GSL??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
as i said..no real increase in performance
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] H4CK3R.:
thanks you much!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
There's really no use for this unless you want to boast a high benchmark.. But performance wise, nada..

Hi guys. I need to find an A+ alarm clock for my T-Mo myTouch 4G. There are many different alarm clocks, but I can't find what I want.

I need an alarm clock that is able to follow my phone's notification style (and FREE). Meaning, if my phone's ringer is ON, I want for the alarm to make audible alert; if I have it set on to "vibrate" - make vibrate alerts, same thing when my phone's ringer is silenced. I need to set up 2 everyday of the week "On" alarm and 2 I want to turn on/off myself.

I really have no clue how I would install, if you provide me a link rather than a title to search for in the "market".

If you will, please give me instructions if you are going to suggest a file rather than a title. I VERY THANK YOU!!!

My phone doesnot go past google logo.

Need the stock recovery and system image

I am thinking once i get them i should be able to run using FAstboot commands

without even unlocking(as fast boot oem unlock also not working for me) boot loader..somebody please confirm...
[Nexus S General] justsahid:
I tried fastboot update update.zip with Official 2.3.3 ROM but i get following error

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

My phone is not rooted neither the boot loader is unlocked( I have failed to unlock it with Fastboot OEM unlock)
[Nexus S General] jottosson:
First thing first... connect your phone and type "adb devices". Does your serial nr show up? Turn off your phone and boot into bootloader (hold vol up + power). Type "fastboot devices", does your serial nr show up? If not, adb and/or fastboot isn't recognizing your connection and device. If it does, you SHOULD be able to type "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock your bootloader.

Tip: you can view your bootlooader state on the device display when inside the loader. It says "State: LOCKED" or "State: UNLOCKED" respectively.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RestlessDroid:
Today when trying to call my wife the phone app kept force closing. I flashed a backup then went so far as a complete wipe. Issue stayed the same. Then I tried calling other people and everything worked fine. I was completely at a loss. I came home changed from mr2 to mr2.5 and the issue stayed. I started playing with other things and figured out that the Twitter account being linked was the cause. I am running DasBamf 2.0.5 with the mr2 radio. Anyone else see this issue?

So I've had my tf for over a month now, no problems what-so-ever.

Today I let my Tablet and Dock completely die by accident, and they just refuse to charge. The dock wont charge alone, or with the tablet hooked in, and vise versa.

I'm guessing it's the charger as neither of them will take a charge. Is there a way to test it? How could I go about testing it with a multi-meter? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] husker91:
Anyone know what could be going on?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
That's a known issue. Search the forum for charger faults. It's pretty well documented I think. Also, look for the model number thread - someone mentioned that if you have such and such model number, there is a known issue, and you should contact Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrunchyDoodle:
How long did you leave them charging? Did the charger get warm at all? How do you know it's not charging? Did you make sure the electrical outlet you were using was good? Was this the charger and just the ASUS supplied cable?

Bye. :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] husker91:
Thanks for the reply, I actually just tried it again, cleaned contacts, jiggled the usb coord, and its charging again! I wonder if it will get so dead it won't accept a charge or something... It was thoroughly drained.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
When it stops charging some people have reported that it fixes itself if you unplug it and plug it back in.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dreamtheater39:
i had the same issue...but it was a loose contact with the charging adapter and i had to just pull it out and push it in till i heard a distinct click!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Haven't tried this as I don't want to let battery go to zero, but it is possible that charger is not happy charging a battery totally drained. If you have a powered USB port on a PC ( note not all are powered) or 5V 500 mA charger from ipod try charging for several hours just to add enough to battery to allow ASUS charger to start. LiPo Batteries do not like being totally discharged.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
With the My Touch 4g I'm sure you MT4G users will remember the good screen/bad screen issue. Where one lcd panel was made by sony, and the other was made by sharp. The Sharp lcd screen would wash out more on an angle than the sony. I have read some people speculate that the sensation might have the same "issue"

It has been confirmed that the Sensation has two different LCD panels. One made by Acer (AUO) and one made by sharp. The sensation does not have a good screen bad screen issue. Some people prefer the acer screen and others prefer the sharp. I have had both and they both are really beautiful displays. You can only really tell the difference if they are side by side.

To find out which panel you have:

Use terminal emulator (free from the market) and run the command dmesg (root is not needed obviously)

it will output a bunch of stuff.. look for this line and report it: (if you can't find it you can long press on the output in terminal emulator copy all and then paste it into an email and send it to yourself)

just look for the line (the numbers might not be the same) [ 9178.895111] Panel Type = PANEL_ID_PYD_??????

Mine is sharp so my line is Panel Type = PANEL_ID_PYD_SHARP

If you have searched and can't find reboot and try again.

Pics I took of the two side by side:

[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
Hee hee. It's not that you look at the phone and go, MY HEAVENS, LOOK AT THOSE LINES!! Quelle horreur! But I can see them without taking a photo, you can notice it best on the grey keyboard background, if you turn it landscape. If you're not looking for it, or if you're not sensitive to it, it's not noticeable.If I didn't have both, and someone didn't point it out, I wouldn't have been upset. I'm not a pixelophile. :)

I don't think there's anything wrong with the AUO screen, I like the vibrancy and the contrast better on that one. Still haven't fully decided which to keep. I'll probably keep the sharp just because it's unbranded.

ETA: New complication though, I just noticed that side by side, my tmobile phone is faster. No matter what I press, the AUO screen phone pops up the application faster. I think that's an internal issue, not the screen, but still. Even with the SHARP screen phone freshly rebooted, the other is a split second faster on everything.

Mine is a Sharp too.

Dont see any of the banding, tinting issues. But it does wash out a little at angles. For an LCD its not too bad, but coming from a SGS and compared to my mums Legend, you can tell its not AMOLED.

Happy with blacks, sharpness and colour tho. Much more natural than the SGS, not over contrast, and there is no backlight bleed at all, which im very happy with.
