[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] site1ca:
So I've been on Darky's 10.1 EE for a couple of days now and everything looks fine. However, I do have one concern: I can't enable WCDMA 850 MHz band any more. I had already read that sometimes this band doesn't work with Darky so I guess this is somewhat expected. By dialing *#0011#, I know for a fact that before Darky, my phone was using WCDMA 850 MHz (band 5, I believe?) and now it's using WCDMA 1900 Band 2.

What I've tried:

1) Dial *#2263#

2) Explicitly pick only WCDMA 850 MHz band

3) Reboot.

Doesn't work.

I've also tried going into "Combi bands" in the menu and enabling WCDMA 850 MHz there, but doesn't work.

So two questions for the wise:

1) Do I really need WCDMA 850? I seem to be doing OK on 1900... So, do I need it? What are the pros/cons?

2) I've read that I can flash the modem.bin from JL2 or KC1 Bell firmwares (my baseband right now is JVO) to get back my 850 band. Is this safe to do with my current set-up:

Firmware: 2.3.3

Baseband version: I9000XXJVO

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813

ficeto@vpn #Dark_Core_2.4

Build number: DarkyROM JVH v10.1

And, would the process be to simply get the modem.bin, put it in a tar file, specify this tar file in the PHONE area of Odin and flash?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Heuser1:
so i transferred my music from my laptop to my tab, but while looking at my music on the tab it all of a sudden exits and asks me to either force close or report. Anyone have any idea why this could be happening? I thought all was good once i got the files to tranfer, but then this happened...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
could you try reproducing the issue with logcat running?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Heuser1:
Sure, would you mind explaining how to do that though? Not wuite sure what logcat is... Appreciate all the help! Hope to get this squared away.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
yeah, I figured I would have to do that but I hate writing out instructions just to find out that the person already knows everything I had to say.

I'll write this assuming you're using windows.. hopefully that's not a mistake

this may be a lot more work than you're willing to do and it may not give any useful results. you're certainly more than welcome to try it though.

for a much easier, but less helpful method, skip to the end.

first, install the adb driver. there is a link floating around somewhere to just the driver, but I can't find it so you're probably better off just installing samsung kies. this will install the drivers for you.

http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL

then, you'll need to download the android sdk.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

download it, open the sdk manager and then let it install it's stuff. all you really need is "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision X." I believe the most recent revision is 5, but it doesn't really matter.

now, open a command prompt. in windows 7, you can just hit start and then type cmd. in xp or vista I believe if you have to use start->run or windows key + r, then type cmd and click run.

from here, change directory to the platform tools folder of your sdk. most likely something like this

cd C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\

though it will depend on where you installed your sdk

now go into settings->applications->development and check "usb debugging" on your tablet. after that is done, connect it to your computer with usb and type

adb devices

if something shows up, your device is recognized. otherwise.. ask for help, I guess

finally, type

adb logcat -c
adb logcat

and then try to reproduce the error. this will give you tons of information about what's going on in the system. hopefully, it will give you some idea why it is crashing.

Note: the "-c" will clear all previous logs

now, for the short version.

In the android market, download "Android Terminal Emulator"

attempt to reproduce the error then open the terminal emulator and type

logcat &

this will show you all logs since the last reboot, assuming you haven't cleared them with "logcat -c." It might be a good idea to use "logcat -c" before you start trying to reproduce the error.

hope that helps,

Sam
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Heuser1:
First of all cant thank you enough for trying to help out. So i went with the second option as to limit my chances of having to ask more questions...yeah about that. With option 2 i could not run the "logcat -c" and after reproducing the error and running "logcat &" i get a permission error... Ideas? Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
hard to say, man.. what does the error say exactly?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akaria:
Hey there,

do any of you experience a strange electricity like sensation when touching the surface of the keyboard dock while it is charging and the transformer is docked? Especially directly to the left of the touchpad and on that middle part just above the keyboard keys. I want to know if I just have a thinly insulated one and should return it or if that is a general thing.

It's very noticable when sliding the finger over the surface lightly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
If you get it while charging plug the charger into the socket upside down, this should fix it.

While it's on USB no idea how to get rid of it but USB's current output isn't strong enough to do anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] akaria:
What the heck.. putting the charger in upside down did fix it!

Thank you very much! And why does that work?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] triumph_st:
I too feel the strange electricity feel when I move my fingers over the dock case while recharging. When I pull out the charger, the feeling is gone.

This is not normal!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] duclicsic:
Seriously, this is a combination of personal confirmation bias and a weird texture on the keyboard. You will notice you only feel if when your hand is actually moving across the surface, never just touching it. The dock case is made of plastic, so while it's possible for it to hold a static charge induced through friction it will NOT conduct any current from the power supply or battery. After some use this texture clearly wears in a little and the sensation stops.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] triumph_st:
Then why goes the feeling away when I unplug the charger and is there again when I replug the charger?

The feel is always there, only it is greater when sliding over ther surfaces or edges.

Seriously, there is an electric feel.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
Rather than reply, you should look up 'Confirmation Bias'

sassafras
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpmbnsf:
No, the sensation wil not stop if the surface were to "wear down", it has nothing to do with the texture of the device. The only way it will stop is by flipping the transformer around.

That said you will not get any type of shock from this (unless its realy defective).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] duclicsic:
I will believe it when someone gets a multimeter on there and confirms there is a potential between the case and ground, but since the case is an insulator I have serious doubts this will ever happen.

You realise that you're suggesting that a current is flowing from the power supply of your transformer, through the plastic case, into your hands and back to ground? That or you're feeling an electric field throgh the plastic, which must be on the order of several kilovolts to produce such a sensation..

Basically the concept that you are feeling an electrical phenomenon is not at all credible.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leonpr:
Ha I noticed this today only since getting to Spain and having to use the Euro plug which you can plug in 'upside down'.

I've never felt it in the UK and all morning I've been thinking "man thats wierd" - I log onto XDA and the 1st post I see relates to it... just turned over my adapater and its gone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
If you don't know anything about what you are claiming to understand, don't post. There ae several long threads on this earlier and the issue is real and has been verified. It is leakage from the wall charger and has been measured and verified using an osciliscope (which has no feeling) . With the plug in one direction there is about 5V AC while with the plug in the other orientation, there is about 60VAC. Sorry for being abrupt, but you claim in wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pokey9000:
If you haven't noticed, the bezel of the Transformer and the body of the keyboard dock are metal or metallized.

Please search before you talk trash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wildpig8:
I have this feeling too, when i just got my TF.

I would like to try to plug the charger upside down, but over here, my plug has three legs, hence there is no way i can do that....:(

Any one who have solve this issue, please share.;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
That's wierd, see though that's how it shoulda been in the first place, there should have been a ground prong on it so that this wouldn't even be possible to begin with. Doesn't the plug itself though come apart in 2 peices? I know it's supposed to but mine came togehter, but maybe pull it apart and flip the 2 peices? Dunno if that's possible since mine was already together so no clue what it looks like apart.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] triumph_st:
Is the dock case plastic? Looks and feels like metal (inside keyboard side).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] triumph_st:
OK, just plugged in the charger: I feel electricity. I turn the euro (I am in Belgium) plug round and the feeling is gone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
The country adapter (plug) snaps in and out very hard. Originally,it came as two pieces,but now comes assembled (maybe because there were issues getting it to assemble correctly). Mine came unassembled. There are only two conductors in the charger assy (hot and neutral) no ground. I am betting the third pin on your plug (gnd) is connected to nothing. When plugged in in onedirection there is leakage to the shield of the usb connector which is connected to the shield of the charge connector which is connected to the metal frame around the edge of the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lanpirate:
It's fun watching all this unfold for people who don't use the search tools here. OP, search for this, it's been exhausted in several threads, with measurements, testing, power supply revisions etc etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] triumph_st:
Sorry, then I am using the wrong search words because I cannot find those threads ...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayne127:
I'm pretty sure my MT4G is bricked. After a reboot earlier today is was stuck at the mytouch boot screen for a long time. I booted into recovery (CWM 3.0.2.4) and was getting errors in recovery. I ended up trying to wipe data/factory reset, and reflashing RG. It seemed to work but after rebooting, it was still stuck. Tried wiping everything again and restoring my stock nandroid backup. Didn't take, kept saying unable to format /system.

After playing with my phone all day, and discovering that it is one of the phones with the bad chip and most likely unable to be fixed, I'm wondering if there's a way to get stock recovery and boot back on my phone through either fastboot or adb. I used the gfree method to root my phone. My phone is covered under warranty, but I don't want to send it back with CWM and S=OFF.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toby4059:
If no one can give you a solution I wouldn't sweat it too much. The same thing happened to me except after a few battery pulls the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I sent it back rooted no problems. I THINK when/if they fix it everything is completely reset (just a guess from a simpleton).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grodz123:
when i first rooted my phone i had the dreadful recovery errors as well. what i did after several hours of research was to erase recovery thru fastboot and the flash the recovery img again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayne127:
I just sent my other mytouch back because it wouldn't turn on at all. Now this one is being stupid! lol I just don't want to send it back with S=OFF and CWM because that'll void the warranty.

I tried replacing recovery to see if it'll let me flash a rom, but fastboot kept giving me errors with everything saying "Remote denied" or something similar.

i pulled it out of box went into download mode and did pit,pda,modem

tmobile sgh-t849

flashed with

gt-p1000_mr.pit

GB_Stock_Safe_v3.tar

\T-Mobile Modem\modem.bin

it failed 75% and didn't really say a specific error. Its bricked doesnt turn on or go into download mode.

im not sure what i did wrong. I have performed the same steps with success in past.

Please help me figure out what i did wrong.. First time i have ever bricked and i have flashed a lot of phones.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ptr:
Could you have forgotten to replace the protected bootloaders?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You should have given it a full charge before you tweaked your tab.

Anyway, try to give it a full charge plugged into the wall, then try again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btyork:
So you didn't even give it a first boot? Should have at least done that and checked for protected bootloaders...

without more detail... Yeah... As ranger said, you didn't even give it a full charge?

Edited for swypos
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilpot:
i mean perhaps it was 90 percent charged

and yes i had it already booted into froyo. I mean the first one wasn't protected so i guess i jumped the gun. But i don't think the boot loader was the issue.

knew i shouldn't have put the screen protector on.. always curses me.. hehe

I did two post to revise my title to get a better answer on how to correct next time.

you guys are trolls...

I bricked my device and i was quite upset... Why i reposted smart guy was to redo the title so that someone would verify my steps were correct.

You havent shown me anything yet that answers my questions. Sending me to a Q & A post didn't help anything. I read that **** before i even even bought the phone. I don't need you to tell me the differences between bricks..

the **** charged all night last night and i let it run all the way down before hoping it would discharge. I had just flashed my other one that had a bad pixel the night before and i had no issues. I did the same steps as before.

i find it funny you guys are more worried about where i posted then the actual issue.

If you want to talk about a waste.. you have wasted space with your nonsense all day replying to this thread with no useful information.

This is my 6 android device and first one i even bricked so spare me. I followed the steps exactly just like i did the day before with no issues. Your so cool sending me to the Q & A because i posted twice.

It would be nice if i could still understand why it happend.

it came with froyo

tmobile sgh-t849 2.2

i flashed the GB_Stock_Safe_v3.tar which is 2.3.3. It just said failed with no other information. At this point i would be weary of using odin on my desktop.

iv used odin alot in the past and never really had any issues

though his tab can't get the Gingerbread right , either the Stock safe from yours ...

@OP thats why you bricked your tabb
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharaohnough:
I beg to differ

@OP

There is no reason why you can't flash Overcome

Having a TMO SGH-T849 is certainly no brickable offence in terms of using Overcome

While the problem may no longer exist, it's definitely worth investigating to know why you had problems (also to get you over your newly acquired fear of Odin :))

Is there the slightest possibility the cable was nudged or such?

You seem to be comfortable using ODIN and your setup must be OK if you've flashed your current Tab before so I'm thinking it might have been a freak accident of some sort
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
@Mokhattab . though his tab different , so its all your now :) going to sleep :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharaohnough:

sorry for late reply

well i am not ruling out that the cable was nudged. i have a 2 year old that was standing next to me. i actually was watching odin when it crashed and i didnt nudge the cable. but my desktop has had mb issues lately and also usb problems. but i had just flashed the same firmware on my desktop the night before. the first time i used laptop. second time i just odined the safe stock on my desktop. third time is when ot bricked.

yea i didnt check the bootloader on the replacment because the one i had got the day before and currently using wasnt locked and both had froyo. thats my bad and i will never know now.

there are some people here claiming that tmobile should be receiving new units that supposedly has no screen bleed...hopefully they are right and i can go exchange my unit for one without screen bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
What is a screen bleed, and how do you know if your screen has it? I can't see any problem on mine. Does it only occur when you have certain wallpaper?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
I would like to hear the answer to this too, what does screen bleed look like? I've tried pure black and pure white wallpaper looking for whatever you guys are talking about.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person who has a near-perfect G2X that doesn't misbehave in all the ways people here talk about. The only way I can get my phone to spontaneously boot or any other signs of instability is to overclock to 1500 and run Mandrobench five times in a row, by which time it is red hot. If good G2X's are so hard to come by maybe I should auction mine off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Go into a room with all the lights off. Start up a video or something in which the background is all black (and pause before it starts playing). The screen bleed will appear at the top left or right corners of the device. If your screen does bleed you will be able to see some light penetrate through lighting up the top corners. If you do have it you can't miss it as it quite pronounced.
