Jajajaj, this must be one of the most funny posts I've read here. "Hardware fix" you call it.

Next:

Low screen brightness solved: Remove your sunglases

Low speaker volume solved: Do not carry the phone inside a sealed box

Low phone signal solved: Do not carry the phone inside a metal box

Compass orientation solved: Do not hold the phone near a magnet

GPS not getting a fix: Get outside

Pictures taken with the camera all black: Do not put the finger over the lens

Night pictures too dark: Turn on the lights, the SGS has no flash LEDs

-----------------------------------------------

Now, following in this issue, I've noticed that when using a high capacity battery (the ones that are thicker than the official one), the GPS does not work so well. So this is a similar issue with 3rd party hardware interfering with the SGS antennas.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jutezak:
BUT ... the SGS GPS is not so bad anymore with the later firmware. We are looking too much maybe.

Iphone 4's and my camera with GPS have about the same issues getting a lock.

Software can obviously still improve: reported accurace behaves funny, there is a stick-to-current-position effect, VDOP is often lower than HDOP which is suspicious, etc. But in all it seems not broken anymore.

Though the chipset is Broadcom... and they always seem to have issues with driver quality, whether it is server network cards (the German original they bought over had decent drivers, at least for Linux) or GPS chips...

I saw an app on the market which can connect wireless, but 4.99$ I don't have the app, but it may work :D I will edit with link in a tiny bit

EDIT: The HD app is on sale right now for 4.99$ (usually 9.99$), sorry I couldnt put link up, using iPhone ;) also, it works with Mac :D but you need snow leopard.

It's called Splastop Remote Desktop HD
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
What rom was your streak preloaded with?

Currently there is a report from one owner that they had 349 on their streak at one point, but the previous owner had installed simple streak without first making a backup.

349 is a previously unknown rom with a previously unused region (it's region 34)

If you have 349 installed, I am looking for a nandroid dump.

If your streak has some other version (and you're sure it hasnt been updated to a different rom/custom rom) i would also be interested to know what's on it

[Samsung Infuse 4G] creamerdp:
Looking to fix a broken LCD screen on my Infuse 4G. The screen still works just has a crack. I know I don't need a full assembly, digitizer or LCD backlite, all I need is the top glass. I can't find anyone who sells just the glass everyone wants to sell the assembly for $200+. Is there glass part available or am I screwed? I've replaced iphone 3gs screens b4 anyone have experience with the infuse?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
How'd you break the screen? Also if the glass is broken its not the lcd presumably? Although if it is the lcd I'd think $200 is about what it would cost to replace. The phone is supposed to have gorilla glass that like won't break, right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] abr27440:
Gorilla glass can and will break, just not as easily as normal glass.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] creamerdp:
its just the glass I'm hoping I can find the part and not have to buy the whole top half with (glass, digitizer & lcd) anyone got a part number?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
its not an lcd, its an amoled.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] creamerdp:
does that mean i can only buy it like in an Assembly, No top glass part. is it all just on part?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bulletproof1013:
it might be like a digitizer and then the screen below that...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] erik111111:
Just spoke with Samsung at 1-888-987-4357.

They will repair for $155.

Seems like the way to go if needing repair.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] acesofbelkan:
As far as I know, samoled screens are fused with the glass over it. thats why you can only buy the entire screen/glass/digitizer as one part.

Good thing about this design is better sunlight viewability and no dust under the glass
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
Hi guys,

i think there's a problem in my i9000;

whenever i make a call, i can hear low static interference in the background.

i searched both on xda and elsewhere, and although some other people complained of this problem, no one was able to determine the cause or provide a solution.

i tried different roms, froyo and gingerbread samsung roms, in addition to cm7, with different kernels and modems, heck i even changed my csc(just for sake of changing everything to make sure.. all for nothing. the problem persists.

Does anyone know what might cause such problem and how it may be solved?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaso06:
i have exactly the same problem. Like you; i tried every combination which i can. I think main cause of the problem is hardware related. But my opinion is ,it can be fixed with device drivers. I looked at service manual. In the speaker part of the service manual,you can see there are two inductors and one capacitor before the speaker module. You can see the full circuit in Service Manual Page 42.

h**p://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2383/speakerj.jpg

I think these inductors(L209,L210) are interferencing with the GSM frequencies and making that static sounds on the background.

We need someone who is an expert on linux and device drivers. Maybe he can show us to find a way to break this circuit(temporarily turn off B1 and A2 pins) in a call so it will not make that sounds.

In the other hand we may have defect phones. May be the only way is to change some parts.

sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
I think there's something wrong with the speaker itself.

I'm taking the phone to samsung's maintenance to see what they have to say about it.

I'll report back once i get to the bottom of this..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Same here, but it's not constant, just happens enough to be noticable, bloody annoying, and only started (or I only noticed it) a couple of days after JVP. Will be interesting to see what you find out...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
One possibility, do you have your phone in a magnetic flip case? Worth checking :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
No magnetic flip case, just a hybrid (plastic back+sillicon frame) cover.

I even took it off for a while to see if it was causing the problem, but no.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
I went to samsung service center and they said it will cost about 200$ because the ear piece comes with the touchscreen..

Meaning i would have to pay for a new touchscreen even though i only need the ear piece.. How about that for service.

I checked ebay and found the whole ear piece+speakerphone+headphone jack in one bundle for 15$

so guess what my next step will be??

Buy and install the ebay part, sell my i9000(never liked tw anyway+cm seems a long way from home).. Had enough samsung for one lifetime
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaso06:
are you sure about the sound is coming from the earpiece ? i am asking because few weeks ago i was also assuming that the interference sound is coming from the earpiece . But i realized that it is coming from the rear speaker. Can you test it ?. In a call ,turn back the phone and put speaker hole to your ear.	The interference sound is so loud that you can hear it from the earpiece hole.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
my god, i think you're right.. it does sound like its the speaker..

what can i do to fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaso06:
This is the question which i am also looking for answers :)

Everyday i am searching for answers. Only a very few people experiencing this problem.

I think this problem is coming from the inductors in the speaker circuit part. You can look my first post .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanadragos:
i have this problem too, i live in Romania, i tough my phone was broken, but a friend's phone also does that.

i notice it when making call while 3G data was running in the background. If 3g is off = no noise.

Also i have noticed, the way you hold the phone affects it. try holding it with 3 fingers to your head the covering the mic hole with the other. you should hear some interference right there. so it's probably: speaker+ extra sensitive mic + some antenna things :)

Also my friend had the phone for some months now and never noticed it :) i searched the web and we're not alone, i found this discussion on a couple of other forums, still nothing to do, or nobody reported back after they whet to the warranty service. i would go, but i don't have any warranty on mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladbaca:
I'm also from Romania and I noticed this annoying issue today. All my other friend with Galaxy S also have this problem, so I guess it's a normal thing.

The only solution, I guess, is to use 3G networks, at the risk of draining a bit more battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanadragos:
so bottom line is that on mine, i hear noise/buzzing/interference when i use 3g networks both on the speaker on the back and the earpiece (it's louder if i use 3g data while i'm making a call) - the issues goes away completely in gms(2 g) mode

and it depend on how i'm holding it - it's louder if i grip the phone in my hand (probably the wireless signal is lower and the phone increases the power needed to communicate to the network thus experiencing buzzing sound from the speakers like radios did back with the first cell phones before receiving a call)

so i guess i'm not the only one, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
This issue is normal I think. No big deal. If the noise however gets so loud that it interferes with your call, get it changed. But the new ones you get might have the noises too. So what is important here is to keep the noise to the minimum.

With / Without the noise is totally an unknown cause now. At least have it settled to the least noisy.

*This is happening to everyone who is getting the phone since November 2010
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gewone:
I confirm this issue with more models.

Hi guys!

Bought myself my GT-S5570 (Galaxy Mini) a couple of months ago. This is my first Android experience. At first I was pleased, but then I noticed this static noise whilst in call. It's like, suddenly I can have ill-isch, distorted, "noise spikes" sort of things. Left my phone in for service under warranty. When I had it back, it was still messy. Bought myself a GT-5660 (Galaxy Gio) a week ago, thinking that this one would clear the issue. It's still there, though. I'm wondering if this is something that affects the whole Galaxy series, even the tougher models like S/S2.

Related threads, by me:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaso06:
yesterday my cousin bought i9000 too. First of all i looked for the noise. It is interesting that that phone is nearly noise free. If i gave 10 point noise to my i9000 than that phone will be 2 points. You can hardly hear the noise. After that i get her SIM card and test my phone with that sim card.Noise is still there.I make that phone software same with my phone. That phone still has no noise.

I think the problem is in phone parts. Maybe a defected series of speakers used in our phones. I will buy a new speaker module on internet. I hope that fix my problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponpadour:
For me it depends more of the network I use than the phone. It happens sometime with an iPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
as i stated in my previous post in this thread, in my case i was sure it was the loud-speaker, i say "was" because i sold the phone, and thats the reason why i didn't come back to this thread since..

it seems there was something wrong with the loudspeaker(on the back of the phone), and it was, at least to me, one of those things where a person might not really notice unless you're looking for it.. my bad luck had caused me to flash a certain modem and the reception was bad, so once i reverted to the previous modem i was checking for the sound clarity and that was when i first noticed the static during calls..

then i realized it was coming from the speaker, as one good man in this thread suggested. i couldn't handle it though, i could hear it every time i make a call..

it didn't make a difference whether i was on 3g or gsm or both, it was always there, unless i went into airplane mode..

so i ended up selling the phone, and bought another, but before i had bought it i put my sim inside and made sure there was no static, and there isn't, whatsoever.. thank god.

i'm sorry i couldn't find any other solution to the problem, samsung service here had said they would replace the speaker, as the part comes on its own, unlike the case for the phone speaker, which, according to samsung, is bundled with the screen, and if i had wanted to change it i would have had to pay something like 200$ to fix...

those who have this problem, check if its the loudspeaker on the back of the phone is the actual culprit, and if it is, try to find a way to replace it or something, that is if it bothers you this much. or you can just sell the phone, there's a 99% chance those who buy it won't notice anything, because they're not looking for it..

good luck guys..

Apparently I just don't post enough or near to anything on XDA, to be allowed to post in the Sensation DEV forum.

So I have to post it here.

In follow up to graffixnyc's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1159306 post I redid his windows batchfile to run on OSX. I don't have the linux version of ADB otherwise it would work just as fine on that.

I also have 2 scripts I use for enabling and disabling services on my sensation: DisablePM.sh and EnablePM.sh. Feel free to edit and use those if you prefer a quick way of making you own list of packages to disable.

But none the less here it is the OSX version of graffixnyc's Perma-Temp root:

Hi there!

Does any body has a values from Irish O2 operator for PDA/Phone/CSC and product code.

Trying to find them ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Liam Good:
What exactly do you mean? If you are trying to switch a phone from another country or want to check whether it's set up for Ireland, try *#272* (your imei number without the brackets)# This will tell you what region, should be XEU for Ireland. Post exactly what is you are looking to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Redwid:
It shows me O2I. But I've reflashed my device by Multi-CSC firmware and changed it to this value. Cos previous firmware I've used from some of Nordic countries.

I wonna reflashed back to stock firmware and need to know which one is stock for Irish O2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Liam Good:
I think you need to know which firmware was originally on your phone i.e. Froyo 2.2 for example. Then download the stock firmware from here for that version. If you purchased your phone since October 2010 I think it would have been Froyo 2.1 or possibly Froyo 2.2 As I said earlier, on your dialer put in *#272* followed by your phone imei number, then # This will tell you whether you are on XEU which you should be for Ireland. If you have Multi CSC on the phone you should be able to change it to XEU if needed. Why do you want to go back to the stock rom anyway?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Redwid:
Correct. But not only 2.2, any firmware. And then could download latest one by using Samsung Fus downlaoder.

As a back up, need to know stock version.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Redwid:
Thanks Odia but I'm looking for the first SGS I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Liam Good:
Ok,what version was on your phone when purchased? What version is on your phone now? What region is your phone set to now (see my earlier posts on how to do this)?

You won't be able to download the correct stock rom from here unless you know what version was on it when bought. For warranty, it should not make much difference unless your phone is set to a region other than Ireland.

I'm still struggling to know what it is exactly that you are trying to do, your phone has been flashed,right? What version was on before flashing and what version did you flash onto the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Liam Good:
Just thought of something, are you missing some of the provider specific apps? Is your phone rooted? Is your phone unlocked? Are you looking to return it to original status including O2 specific apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Redwid:

Like John and k0sh, I can't tell you what to buy, but having come from froyo to gingerbread (and now running overcome 3.0) made me feel like I had a new tab. More stable and responsive.

The browser issue you refer may have to do with the agent (android vs desktop). You can solve it by using a browser like dolphin hd. I believe that, on overcome, you can browse as desktop on stock browser.

There was 2 versions of the program to unlock the bootloader,which were:

-Patch Bootloader for P1000L and P1000N

-Patch Bootloader pour Euro / International / Unbranded / AT&T / Rogers / T-Mobile
