They really should just allow us to swap to a 3D to something, cause the speeds I get are about as atrocious as mikey's
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Agreed (not the 3D part... you will never get swapped up to a flagship phone) but then this is also where the "you had 30 days" comes into place. Not trying to be a bad guy, I work for retentions and I get thousands of "this phone sucks" 31 days or 45 days or 60 days after it was purchased. Just like you, we have rules we have to follow at the work place and policies in place so, no, it's not that we don't want to help, but you as the customer must also help yourself. A corporation like Sprint, TMo, AT&T and Verizon can not hold all of their customers hands. If you had issues, return the device, replace it, get another and let the company know that the phone is not working that way, by not purchasing that device - getting a device and "hoping" for a fix is not a good strategy and you're only setting yourself up for failure.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
ok so under under status theres MIN and it should be a 10 digit phone number with your same area code.

now if you enter *#*#msl number#*#* and go to edit where you see the MSID, what should the number there be? the same as the MIN? and should it be editable?
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Your MSID is random and it doesn't necessarily have to be the same area code as your phone number.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
so if i see it in view mode and it does match the MIN always then im good? when i view it in edit mode its either 0000000000 or it says unknown, whats with that? advanced tech support said i should be able to edit it to that previous number but its not editable, is it supposed to be? i dont really wanna take it in for some guy to do everything ive already done just so he can master reset it after ive done that 5 times today.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Got me there... that's past my level of tech support. As far as I understand, it shouldn't be editable.
[Nexus S General] NYYFan325:
Well the reason I mentioned the 3D is because it is the same price as the NS4G is/was on upgrade ($199). I figure they are basically just crediting what you paid, and most people would probably go to the 3D is they were gonna swap phones. If I paid $199 and the phone has a pretty glaring defect, I would want the amount I paid as a credit... that's all I meant.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Yeah I understand but unfortunately prices don't mean much honestly.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
If there isn't an update to address this soon, as much as I love it, ill go back to the Evo til the photon comes.
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
Or the Shine. It is rumored to be released late July.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
yea and from what i found its not. thanks tho you confirmed what i find out and im not gonna let some dude mess with it doing what ive done to find out what i already know
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
The problem is, they're not sure what's causing it and can't reproduce it (this was a while back). Hopefully they've found the issue already.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
tell "them" to grab a box of phones and come to my house, the problem will reproduce like rabbits
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Well, it appears it's a phone issue, not network related. A lot of people will testify to other phones working just fine while the NS4G can not keep a signal.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
oh. cuz im supposedly right in the middle of an area thats had a ticket open since the 12th
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
If they tell you there is a ticket open, there is. Nothing anyone on the phone can do after that though, it's field techs at that point.
[Nexus S General] reuthermonkey:
Do not trust, I repeat, Do Not trust the new Speedtest.net app. It sucks. It's horrible. It's horribly sucky. But pretty. But useless.

And wholly inaccurate. Especially on Samsung devices. Use the old speedtest.net app, or use any other test.

I've uploaded the old speedtest.net here:
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
Yeah some NS4G aren't plagued with issues, I was lucky I got one of them. These are all from 3g with 1 or 2 bars
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
You can edit it. Its the same as when you activate a phone online. At the end they give you instructions msl, and onetime code. If your activation doesnt stick, they tell you to do hard reset (*#*#786#*#*) and then lastly, manually put your phone number and MIN number. The phone will reset if you edit it

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
And you're right, I read his comment wrong. In the ## menu both numbers are editable. You should be able to just hit backspace and delete the numbers.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
ok well my MIN isnt the part i wanted to edit, or that advanced tech support wanted me to edit.

they wanted me to edit the MSID in the terminal via *#*#msl number#*#* then edit.

when in view mode phone number and MSID are the same number. when in edit mode phone number is correct and MSID is either 000000000 or unknown and uneditable

according to tech support my MSID should be the same as my MIN and if its not i should be able to edit it. i cant. and when i did do hard resets it didnt change.

if i could figure out how to unroot i guess i would take it in but i dont get it. in fact i would return it just for the 1 dead pixel

so if i cant then its a device issue?
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
O_o
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Are you using ##msl# to get into the menu? Once you do that, you should be able to hit edit. The first number is your phone number, the second is your msid. Do it straight from your phone.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
yes

*#*#123456#*#* > edit

can edit phone number. can not edit MSID.

went to the store and the tech at first was like "dont worry about being rooted, my epic is rooted too. that wont have any affect on this" then he was suddenly clueless as to anything i was saying and was more concerned about how i knew the codes i knew then with trying to resolve my problem. he tinkered with everything ive already done and shrugged and said "i dont know chief this is all new to me"

he didnt do anything i havent done a dozen times already. i dont think the MSID can be edited. can you edit yours?

*edit*

im not really to concerned about this at this point. its really more of a curiosity / just wanting to know kind of thing so dont anybody get crazy over it
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
my speeds are better but i also flashed back to my original nandroid which was what i did between rooting and activating and im getting noticeable yet slightly better all around reception
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Yes, positive. That's how phones are manually programmed.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I seem to always get better service on stock.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
If your having slow speeds on 3g turn airplane mode on for few seconds and back. I get that sometimes and it always fixes it by doing that.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
(real stock? or your stock? i was using yours until about 3 hours ago}

^^^^*edit*^^^ not anymore i think i might know what his problem was^^^

but thats not that big of a deal for me. im nobody important and 95% of my emails are nothing i really care about and no one i know uses gtalk

and shroomz i must have the window liker of a phone because my MSID can not be edited, but what ever my phones a lil bit better back to "out of the box, rooted, nandroided, activated" rom lol

like i said if i could get (tried 3 times but just cant figure it out) i would return it based on the dead pixel which is what bothers me more then anything

So if I was a curious possible NS4G buyer, I should be wary of these issues because I tested one in a Sprint store, awful slow speeds.

[Verizon Droid Charge] XBIOSX:
I recently purchased my phone about a week ago so I assume I'm running the latest firmware, would I still follow these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657

And which kernel should I install if I want to maximize battery life and performance?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
Check under Settings->About Phone and look at the Build Number (at bottom of page). If it says SCH-I510.EE4 then yes follow those instructions. If not go back to the top of page and hit System Updates. After it updates then follow the instructions

Edit: Didn't notice your 2nd question at first. I use the overclock version of PBJ for my kernel and don't have an issue with performance or battery
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
EE4 is the update you want to be on, it's the latest update that all the ROMs and kernels and such are being developed for.

I'd recommend this clockwork mod recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112804

I'd recommend this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104634

I'd also recommend this kernel, only difference is this one has the ability to over/underclock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126136

and I'd recommend this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116086

That would be a lag free battery safe experience, and if you need a noob friendly guide here's a good one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657

[Verizon Droid Charge] SnoopDawg:
I am impressed solid information without drama.

Props to both of you yutzybrian and blarrick.

Many people can learn from both of you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] XBIOSX:
thank you for the quick replies, I decided on just the "root" and the kernel change for now until I play around with root access :D

P.S. How do I fix the startup screen so it isn't choppy? :confused:

P.P.S. How do I remove stock apps? :confused:

P.P.P.S. Also how do I prevent any future automatic updates from Verizon?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
When you say startup screen I assume you mean the home page, in which case you would need to install a custom theme and I'm not quite sure how to do that, I'm still new too :] I'd just use GummyCharged since it replaces TouchWiz, if you mean the boot animation I'm fairly certain you can't change that yet

It would be better to freeze stock apps using Titanium Backup(an app on the market place) it's like removing them but you can bring them back whenever you want, there's just one very important thing to remember, not all apps can be frozen successfully, if you attempt to freeze certain apps you can softbrick your phone, use this thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082588) ONLY as a reference, you'll notice somewhere in that thread someone freezes TWlauncher because it's on the list but that's TouchWiz, if you freeze that without another launcher running you'll softbrick, just be careful when freezing/removing bloatware

You can't block them from showing up as far as I know, you CAN just deny the update, my dad had Gingerbread ready on his Droid X for a while and had no clue because he just denied it one day and it never showed up again, I went into System Update on his phone and there it was, 100+mb file

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BcgWygfCI0&feature=youtube_gdata_player this should help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] archerpro12:
I've been on this site a little over than an hour and a member for about 10 minutes now and i'm trying to find ways to better my devices performance, I am a little familiar with cyanogen mod and know that is is not yet available for the SGS4G and i know better than asking when it will be released. How ever I did see something called 'bionix Black Ice ROM' people i here seemed to be stoked about that. Now what exactly is that? will it help my phones performance? will it get rid of all the bloatware? next if it does help with all of that could somebody step by step walk me through the process or make a youtube vdeo showing how to install black ice step by step? i'm obviously new to all this and really don't wanna brick my phone.

thanks, GD
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
hi! welcome to the forums, btw! this is the best place to find out stuff about your phone. i was in your place about a month ago, so i know exactly how confused you are.

you should read this for everything referencing your phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117554

to answer your questions: yes. lol. no more bloat, everything will be much faster and basically you will have the phone of your dreams. :)

i am no expert, but i would root the phone using superoneclickroot. then download root explorer. get krylon's final cwm. download the rom (black ice or frost or w/e you prefer), download bali 3.1, the ext4 converter, and maybe a new modem (optional). flash those following the very well written guides by the devs and you should be ok.

everyone here is pretty awesome and we're all willing to help (even me...who barely knows anything).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] archerpro12:
Ok, i've already Rooted my phone. I guess now i need to download said programs. any links on these well written descriptive how to? because all the ones i saw confused the hell out of me and id like to believe i'm not completely retarded. Thank you for the welcome BTW.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
i would start with krylon final cwm. his directions are pretty straightforward. i used root explorer to move the file where it needed to be.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374

i am assuming you downloaded the rom already from the CWM rom section in the bible. its up to you. im biased towards bionix frost, but black ice is just as amazing.

i would also dl the ext converter and bali 3.1 kernel as well. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123039) (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080871). place all of the zip files you download into the root of your sd card....which means that if you connect your phone to the computer and open it using windows explorer, it is that first window, which lists all of the folders. dont put these files in folders or anything.

once that is done, i restarted my phone in recovery shutting down fully and pressing the power+volume up+volume down. once there, i went to reinstall packages to get into cwm.

then when this loads, i wiped the system/factory reset and wiped the cache. then i went to mounts and storage and mounted my system. (the final mounting output should be: unmount, mount, mount, unmount). i then scrolled to "go back"

i choose install zip file from sd card. choose zip file, which should be the second option if my memory serves me right. scroll of ext converter and install that one. then when that is done, go back to install file from sd card, choose black ice or frost (i LOVE frost) and install that one. then when that is done, i flash my bali 3.1 uv kernel. when that is flashed, i click go back and choose reboot system. once that is done, you will see the galaxy s screen for like 5 min or so followed by the team whiskey logo. once you see this, it will take another minute or so to load up. once you see that the rom loads up...LET THE PHONE SIT FOR 10 minutes. i know it seems long, but just let it sit.

after 10 min or so, i would go into your about phone options and check and see that you have bali3.1 and that the rom is correct.

do these tweaks as well

fugu (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127069)

init.d (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121656&highlight=init.d)

EDIT: Check out raver and dsexton's init.d and fugu tweaks. i switched from the ones above to the ones in the following thread. these guys are too legit.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1141550

you can flash a modem too (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117331) using the same process as flashing any other zip file.

remember, the first option in choosing a zip file is update.zip from krylons final cwm. do not flash this after the rom/ext/whatever. im not sure if this has been addressed (im still a noob), but everytime i did that, i bricked my phone. lol. so just to answer your question before you wonder...cause i always wondered whether i should flash that or not. lol.

hope this helps. feel free to press the thank button. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] archerpro12:
thank you very much....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
LOL! that was more of a joke. the real credit goes to people like krylon and team whiskey, drhonk, dsexton, chadster, mad, raver, etc. they really made all this possible.

let us know how it goes. you can honestly flash all of this within 5 min (not including wait times to build the cache). once you get it down, you should check out some other posts because people are always coming up with creative tweaks to make things better.

Hi, i am very new and a noob at this site and rooting in general. Hear me out. Im stuck on getting the recovery on the phone. ADB push? Root explorer? I cannot find /system/bin.. PLz walk me tru.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
If you rooted your phone, download root explorer from the market. then follow the guides I listed in the post. If you read through the threads, everything has already been asked.

Root explorer is a file manager that allows you to see everything. there are other explorers, like super manager, but I like root explorer. To push a file, download it to your computer, move it to your sd card, open root explorer, find the file, long press, click move, and then navigate to the destination folder and paste.

To get into recovery to flash roms, shut the phone off, then press power and the two volume buttons at the same time. You'll get to a screen with blue text. Click reinstall packages and you'll see krylon's cwm. Follow my previous post prior to going into download mode though.

No issues with APN. But you could try the app "APN Manager" from the market as a workaround. Apparently Videotron's settings aren't available, but you can set them up manually.

*CRT screen off animation

*green transparent drop down menu

*battery icon

*transparent pop-ups

*icons

Unzip and move fonts to /system/fonts, systemui to /system/app. framework to /system/framework. Reboot. Make backups of the original files in case something goes wrong. You could also take the framework file from my crt animation thread and use it in the uot kitchen to make your own themes. Enjoy!

Back up your data and apps before doing this. In the case of continuous force closes, most can be resolved by rebooting into recovery and doing a wipe.
