[Galaxy S I9000 General] WoodyWoodsta:
Hi all...

I am a noob - please don't hate!!

I have recently bought a Samung Galaxy S I9000 and I immediately flashed MIUI onto it. Ever since I have been using MIUI, I have had serious problems with my SD card (8gb) which came with the phone. I currently have about 2 gigs of music on it and playing the music is absolutely fine however it seems that after 15 - 20 min of not playing music, the external sd card becomes either corrupt or incorrectly read. When I try and play a song, it comes up with "file type not supported". Looking in the "external_sd" directory on the internal sd card, I find 20-30 files with file names full of funny symbols and letters. The files are also extremely massive and way exceed the card's total capacity (viewing the details on the "external_sd" tells me there is a total of 20gb used - on an 8gb card???).

I can rectify the problem by simply rebooting the phone but it is highly annoying! :mad:

I would like to know what I could do to fix this problem? Ideally it would be great to have the external SD card as a seperate volume on the phone and not a directory on the internal SD card.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
Your card sounds like it's faulty, but formatting it will temporary fix your issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clandestino123:
I also have an external SD card problem !

Up until a few weeks ago, there were no issues. I have some *.avi files stored on the external SD card and these were indexed by Android and visible in the Video player app.

For some unknown reason, the files on the external SD suddenly were not visible in the Video app (yet they are still visible, and playable, via ES explorer).

Now, when I go to Android settings, I no longer have menus for "internal SD card" and "external SD card". Instead I have "SD card" menu, and "USB storage" menu...

Can anyone help me get things back to the way they were???!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prateek G.:
Hi,

You are being displayed the 'sd card' and 'USB storage' options because you might have updated your firmware. I am currently on JVQ firmware 2.3.4 and get the same options. 'sd card' stands for the external sd card while 'USB storage' stands for internal sd card. If you tell me the history of your updation or flashing, i might be able to help you better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eagle3386:
@ OP: get a new SD card, that's it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clandestino123:
thanks. I updated to JVQ but then went back to JVH (darky's rom) via an Odin flash. You could be correct, the JVQ firmware could have caused this issue. But it still remains even after reverting to JVH...?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eagle3386:
What about completely reformatting the SD card via, e.g. Windows?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] WoodyWoodsta:
Thanks for the suggestions. My dad also bought the same phone and he has exactly the same problem so it doesn't seem to be card specific. I don't like this sd card situation (I was previously on Nokia).

Perhaps it's a MIUI specific issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eagle3386:
To quote Adidas: "Impossible is nothing." :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZioGTS:
Same problem here. I am on stock 2.3.3 italian firmware, rooted through cfroot 3.7 then flashed semaphore and now galaxian. Issue is definitely not kernel dependant. My external sd is a class 4 card 8 gb from sandisk. Anyone could suggest a card that's working flawlessly on our sgs?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZioGTS:
UPDATE: I installed another Sandisk Ultra 8gb that I used to keep in my TomTom. Apart from discovering that the latest is class 6 (weird, the had exactly the same blister pack...), this seems to work perfectly. Oh my. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] WoodyWoodsta:
Just thought I'd mention this for reference sake - I also tried an old 8Gb class 6 sd card and have no issues for a week! My initial card (that came with the phone) was class 2. Happy now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZioGTS:
Look like SGS is picky when it comes to SD cards... And i paid the same money for the two cards, they had identical packages!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultra99:
I have so many duplicated contacts on my phone, 1000+ and I don't want to go through all of them one by one in my gmail. Is there a faster and easier way to deal with this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Open gmail from a PC, select contacts, then select the More actions button, select find & merge contacts.

Let Google do all the work...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obsy:
Or you can remove all duplicates from phone book menu and then sync with gmail ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] tkdboi:
Gummy or Humble? Thx in advace guys!

EDIT: Please move to general. Sorry~
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mykd99:
When I was on Froyo, I used Gummy first then tried out Humble. Humble gave me better battery life.

Now I'm on GummyCharged 1.5 Gingerbread and still getting good battery life. I think the main thing is to condition your battery. This starts with always flashing ODIN ROMs with a fully charged battery, this makes all the difference I believe.

I didn't see any reason to stay on Froyo, Kejar has done an amazing job with GummyCharged and fixed all the issues I was concerned with moving to GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tkdboi:
Thx! u helped a lot :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I've gotten best battery life on Eclipse v1.2. Altho I will say Humble was not to bad either but for whatever reason Eclipse gets better signal which makes a world of difference on battery life.

I've also tried the GB builds and IMO they are still not up to par. They are all based on leaked files that are nowhere near ready for release yet. And on that note there is newer builds then the one that is leaked even.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Samsuck:
I loved Eclipse but my GPS wasn't getting a lock better than 10meters.

Humble 1.3 was absolutely garbage for me in terms of battery life, but the new version 1.33 is AMAZING :)

I charged my phone up last night and calibrated the battery, left it unplugged the entire night (i was sleeping) , 9 hours later i woke up and my battery only dropped 7 percent. I was at 93. Previously, i was losing 20 percent battery if i left my phone on overnight.

I just got my HTC Trophy...the first thing I wanted to do was sync my OneNote notebook...it was already synced to a directory on my SkyDrive. I noticed the app likes to default to My Documents and then to something called Personal (Web)...how do I get it to find my existing workbook?

Thanks...

I loged on to SkyDrive using IE on the phone, opend the notbokk from ther and it got added to the Office Hub. Think it is important to set IE to Mobile version.
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
That damn smiley key was driving me insane, so I got the Gingerbread keyboard source from AOSP, got it to compile, and got rid of the smiley face button. Other than that, it's identical to the stock Android gingerbread keyboard, so requires 2.3+. Eventually I may figure out how to make it able to be turned on and off, but that would rather defeat the point. Enjoy!

(Note: you have to enable it in the Keyboard settings before you can use it, just like any other keyboard.)

The Eclipse project (source) is available here.
[Android Software Development] lilchicano:
this sounds like a good thing for me because it also became annoying to me.

quick question though because i cant check out the keyboard mod yet, but does it remove the smiley key completely, or does it replace it with an enter key or something?

soon as i get the chance, ill install and see for myself :)
[Android Software Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Nice. I like that it has been replaced with the enter key instead. I find that to be immensely more useful.
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
I replaced it with the significantly-more-useful return key.
[Android Software Development] ajftl:
wow,....how can a smiley face annoy u...? lol smiley faces r cool...stop being grumpy.. better to extend the space bar instead..make it longer
[Android Software Development] 3xeno:
The smiley key doesn't annoy me per se, but the fact that the Enter key was removed does. So now, it is impossible to have any semblance of formatting in your SMS'es.

Will definitely give this a go as soon as possible. This is definitely a must have as far as I am concerned. :)
[Android Software Development] oxman:
Thanks, but i've a problem with your keyboard.

I turned on the vibrate on keyboard settings, but there is no vibration when I push a key.
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
Works fine for me (using CM7 nightlies).
[Android Software Development] oxman:
I use Infusion 1.7 and its work with other keyboard :(
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
Do you have haptic feedback enabled?
[Android Software Development] lilchicano:
so i installed earlier today and im loving it!

the return key is muuuuch more useful to me than the smiley tab, especially since i do mine different that those and that just annoyed me! lol

thank you so much for this
[Android Software Development] sxyshotta:
the keyboard appears real small on my screen
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
What device/ROM?
[Android Software Development] oxman:
Yes, it works on other keyboard
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
Huh. I can't really help you because I can't reproduce the problem...
[Android Software Development] sxyshotta:
htc sensation 4g, stock rom
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
Hm. I didn't modify the keyboard in any way other than replacing the smiley key, so I have no idea what may be causing that.
[Android Software Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It's probably because you've packaged up the WVGA keyboard file, and not the qHD version. The Sensation sports a higher res screen.
[Android Software Development] notverycreative:
That would make sense, but I don't see why the same keyboard wouldn't work on all devices. I mean, looking at the code, I see nothing that would prevent scaling. I was never asked for a target screen size to compile for, nor do I see any way to enter it. If someone could explain a way to fix it, I would gladly rerelease a qHD-compatible version.
[Android Software Development] Joecascio2000:
You should try and work it out that Long Press of the return key let's you select smileys. It's one of my favorite features of Perfect Keyboard. But non the less, good job.
[Android Software Development] 3xeno:
Works great on the Wildfire (LDPI). This has replaced the Stock one. Good job again. :)

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] solarpolitiks:
Any themers up to porting the UI from this ROM over to Eaton ROM?

Both ROMs come from a Froyo Sense 2.0 base and the Evo has the same screen size/resolution as the thunderbolt so I would assume it shouldn't require too much editing.

Bumping again. If someone were to tackle this I would be uber thankful

Base is the same. A Sense 2.0 froyo ROM
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siddhantfriends:
Prerequisite:

1. Rooted Motorola Backflip (MB300) - of any country or provider. (AT&T or Non-AT&T)

2. Motorola USB drivers 32-bit or 64-bit.

3. You should have Android SDK installed and ADB on usb/wifi working.

4. Indeed, basic skills of using computer. :)

If you meet all the prerequisite you can proceed.

Installing the ROM:

Download and copy recovery.img to root directory of ur SD-Card.

Download and copy update-cm-7.1.0-BACKFLIP-signed.zip to the root directory of ur SD-card.

Your phone should be turned on normally and not in recovery mode.

Now open up your command prompt or terminal.

Type the following commands in command prompt or terminal:

adb start-server
adb devices

It will show serial number of your device under connected devices. If you got it work till here then continue to next step.

Type:

su

Approve the request on phone if prompted.

Now we need to install custom-recovery on the phone.

Type:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Wait for 5 minz.

Now custom-recovery is installed on your phone.

Reboot the phone in recovery mode.

If you don't get custom-recovery as shown in the image go back and redo the whole thing you've done something wrong.

On recovery menu select wipe and select "Wipe All". This will delete data and cache.

Press back button to go back to main recovery menu and select "Flash zip from SD".

You will see the "SDCARD: update-cm-7.1.0-BACKFLIP-signed.zip". Press home button.

ROM will start flashing here.

After the flashing is completed select "Reboot System Now".

Thats it! You've installed CyanogenMod 7.1 successfully on your backflip.

Installing Gapps:

Download your Gapps here or alternate.

Copy the downloaded "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" to root directory of ur SD-Card.

Reboot into recovery.

Chose "Flash zip from SD". You will see "SDCARD: gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip". Press home button. The Gapps will install.

Press back button and select "Reboot System Now".

You're done installing Gapps. :D

About ROM and Credits:

To all the people who put their efforts on building this ROM j_r0dd and of course cyanogen and amitheunlimited to help me testing this ROM and encouraging me to make this post.

This post is not for violating the laws I've not developed the ROM so naturally the credit goes to the developers. If anyone knows the developers please feel free to PM me. I will add you in credits.

Hit thanks if this helps. :)​

Can you please tell me if the ROM is Gingerbread 2.3.4 ?

Hey again,

I am having issues with CM 7.1 ....

Can not use Tango or other voice calling.. it goes on rebooting itself..

Can you please gimme a link to froyo ROM with gapps for backflip?

I have CM7.1 custom recovery flashed.. So I guess I can flash froyo rom without a problem..

thanks again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siddhantfriends:
Yes you can install froyo ROM if you've custom-recovery installed

but the problem is that froyo is more unstable than gingerbread [CM7.1]

I'd suggest you install over-clocked kernel on CM 7.1 it might work better than before.

Reply with your results. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingsrook14:
Thanks

Where do I get the overclocked kernel for CM 7.1 ?

I am a n00b.. Help much appreciated..

BTW now I am on CWM 6.1 froyo rom with the MB300..

What I observed is with Froyo the MB300 has more free memory than with GB rom..

Using Tango and Nimbuzz I dont get reboots.. But video is not working on Tango.. Could be firmware or memory issue ?

Also how can I get Flash installed for MB300? I dont find it on market.. Tried different markets with Enabler but still no Flash..

Maybe I am missing something..

Thanks again for the help

For All those looking for flash... look hard, cause i havent found it. there's some arm6 flash 10.1 out there that works..eh. if its running of the sd (ext3/4)... actually thats a little less than fair. it works well for flash apps such as tinyshark but usually crashes when trying to run larger flash in the browser. There's also the puffin browser... which i HIGHLY recommend. Its about time someone made skyfire do some WORK. Puffin may very well be the best $1 you ever spent on your phone. remember where ya heard it. =D

Wifi not working on cm7.1

Hi,

Thanks for all the effort.

Just loaded 7.1.0 onto my backflip, using j_r0dd-mb300-v2.0's recovery - the 4005cwm just got the boot screen and hung!

All good, except that wifi is dead. Settings allows me to activate it, etc, but no connection. The phone itself works fine.

Tried the reflash. Tried reloading the 1.5 nandroid backup (where wifi is 100% again), then wiping & reloading everying (cm7.1, gapps, IT). Tried removing the battery for 1minute.

On first boot, the wifi task bar icon flashes then goes away. The task manager has the wifi as up, my laptop is connected..., but no real connection. Everything els 100%.

Any log files/ process status I can look at from the terminal? (I understand <i>some </i> linux admin stuff)

Now I am really confused --- Where did u get this ROM from?

Thanks for yours above.. Really good advice.

I would have hated to flash something whose effects I don't really know or understand.

I am still trying to find where did the ROM in first post come from.

Original post is vague about source of the ROM.

Below thread lists only RC1 GB rom

Someone please clarify

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siddhantfriends:
Firstly, the kernel posted by amitheunlimited is OC kernel which supports Multi-Touch for backflip for any build of Android 2.1 (Eclair). Since CM 7.1 is based on Gingerbread 2.3.x the kernel is not supported in it.

Secondly, the ROM is official ROM of j_r0dd which was posted here for all the users of xda.

There've been almost 4,000 downloads of the ROM since it has been posted on xda.

Its wise to see the outcome rather than digging graves. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingsrook14:
Agreed.

Can't thank you enough for posting the ROM and very nice HOWTO here on XDA.

But ... I wanted to know IF the official j_r0dd ROM you've posted is RC or final release?

BECOZ jr0dd's "[ROM] Official thread for my unofficial CM7 7.20.11" at http://modmymobile.com/forums/566-m...-my-unofficial-cm7-7-20-11-a-post4088301.html

The RESULTS are what I am talking about..

I am getting random boots when checking facebook / making calls etc.

It has stabalized somewhat after tweaking RAM using Juwe's RAMscript.

I am still looking for a stable ROM for backflip.

Any help appreciated.

And thanks again for your OP.
