rofl, that's super crazy phone...
[Galaxy S II General] thegodth:
As I said ... Phone is a phone nothing more than that.

but your life will be easier if you think like me

(Compare with my old phone - not smartphone)

Make my life easier when I find someone in my contract list. (Your life much better with Gesture Search)

Better! when I read my incoming SMS messages.

Wow! I have a calendar in my phone.

Wow! I can use internet on my phone but sometime slow or no signal (Ok i accept that better than no use)

Wow! Big num pad and Big Calculator (What? calculator can record the history! cool!)

Wow! I can change my background too! cool!

Typing messages better than my old phone! cool!

I think thats enough ...

(Actually, I have more than this, but I should stopped before someone else is laughing me.)

ok everybody, why are we feeding the troll again??? 8 pages..wooohooo....
[Galaxy S II General] DarkDvr:
When I don't like the item i bought I just go and return it.

But you go to forums to tell us a sad story of how you don't like ur phone - that means you're looking for any excuse to keep it. That means u actually like it and don't want to give it back.

So make up your mind. Either return it and dont post here, or look for specific info and fixes.

Don't worry mate.

This device is awesome. Its battery will be very close comparing to ip4 if you root your device and freeze some apps.

I mean "very close" because it has such a 4.3'' screen comparing to just 3.5'' using on ip4.

[Galaxy 3 General] alvin14:
Downloading a stock 2.1 rom to my phone which is i5800, while flashing it freazes while attempting to flash sbl.bin it stock there for a while so i decided to remove the phone battery (when i shouldn't) and now i cant get to boot up my phone, no bootloader splash or anything. Please helpppppp.. Is there a testpoint method for this phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
can you boot into download mode? (i doubt if this will happen, but try a few times). if it doesn't work then i'm afraid you've hard bricked your phone.

You should always flash your ROM without the bootloaders.

Try going to the samsung service centre. Tell them it got stuck while updating through KIES. If you're convincing enough, they might believe you and do it for free, otherwise it's a decent sized cost that you will have to incur.
[Galaxy 3 General] alvin14:
Thanks for your help but I Live in the Caribbean, no Samsung Service Center at my location. Would not mind paying but I would have to ship the phone also which will be pretty expensive. If samsung can fix it, there must be a good Samsung tech rep available here on info about performing test point which is what I believe they will do to repair.
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
If there is no Samsung service centre, search there whether anybody in your place knows JTAG. You can search it in the internet if there is any techie who knows JTAGing. Then your bootloader can be repaired.
[Galaxy 3 General] alvin14:
Thanks but Chances are no. I will search and see hopefully with great results. Also I found a method in modifying a usb cable with a 300k resistor here factoidz.com/unbrick-captivate-or-galaxy/ for captivate or galaxy devices. About to try it in the morning. Praying it works.
[Galaxy 3 General] Rapier07:
Yep the jig should work .. good luck :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Mohit12:
if you do end up repairing your phone, please post here. i think this will be a breakthrough in solving hard bricks. i don't think anyone here has a found a foolproof method just yet to repair our phones.

if you do manage to repair it, i'm sure a lot of users will thank you for unearthing that article. please post your phone status whenever you're done trying that method.
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
If you haven t seen this already, then here you go. It s the same method you are talking about. Will it work on hard bricks?? Not sure.:/ :/' In the video its done on a Vibrant. All the best.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohfsd:
Hi guys,

This is my first post here in the forum, usually i just read other people posts and learn as i go, but this time i already tried everything i can't during 5 days and counting..

I have a CDMA Galaxy Tab from Verizon (sch i800) and wrongly attempted to flash the gt-p1000 gingerbread (2.3.3) version from samfirmware.com with odin to no avail.

Now the tablet screen is always black, no matter what. My pc recognizes the tablet when i connect it and i can even use odin to flash other firmwares, but nothing appears in the screen, not even the samsung logo.

My guess is that, by using the gt-p1000 firmware, odin has repartioned my tablet and altered my boot.bin and sbl.bin with the gt-p1000 version. That's probably why my screen doesn't even turns on.

Does anyone has any clue on how to resolve this (without returning to samsung, of course) :eek: ?

Also, can a riff box restore my tablet?

* Good news, i got some progression here.. I reflashed my tablet with odin using the rom "P1000BUJMC" from samfirmware.com, sugested in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146712&page=3 .

Now my tablet screen is working again but get's stuck at the samsung logo. During the flash, odin getz stuck in the file movinand too.

When i enter recovery mode, the tablet gives me this error:

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(No such file or directory)

E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount DATA:

Anyone knows how to get through this error?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohfsd:
push..

Does anyone know how to solve the error?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romathon:
Considering I did the same thing, I hope flashing the firmware you linked works :P

From all the searching I did the error your getting is due to the internal sd card either A:) Failing or B:) Corrupt data partition

I had a blk0p1 error that was fixed when I flashed Cyanogen mod to the SCH-I800 but then I got another error and that was blk0p2, so can't win for losing. The only fix I found was to partition your external sd card to be used instead of your internal. There are tutorials around here somewhere../
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Frogbone:
Is there an app that would let me stream media files and DVD folder structures from a Network Attached Storage device on my LAN?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tenet420:
CIFS Manager.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Frogbone:
This looks like something that should work but for the life of it I can't get it configured to work :-(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] spike378:
Es file explorer or upnp play. Both works fine for me except 720p if ur running GB and up
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] smishra:
To keep my life simple I used Clemsyns kernel and CIFS Manager worked with no issues. I have tried out some 720p files and they have worked well with Moboplayer. With Pershoots Kernel I had to manually add the cifs.ko which did work in the end but took some work. I pulled the basic instructions from his page.

To use one of the kernel modules:

Pull the one you want from lib-2632.39.tar.gz (winrar can open this),

adb remount

adb push MODULE.ko /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod/

adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod/MODULE.ko

adb shell insmod /system/lib/modules/2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod/MODULE.ko

By far this is the best feature for me for the gtab.

Emit or Plex should work wonderfully for you. Both encode video on the fly. I have used Plex since it was released for Android and really like how it flows.
[Nexus S General] gnaurittiello:
Hi,

I've just replaced the stock toolbox with busybox provided by netarchy kernel package. Maybe there is a better way to do this, but I'm just playing with my new phone :D

Anyway, this is what I did:

Info

nexus model: I9023

rom: stock 2.3.4 with root permission

kernel: 2.6.35.13-netarchy-nexus-1.3.7-bfs-2.3.4

busybox version: 1.16.0 (included in netarchy kernel package)

Entering adb shell

adb shell

Inside adb shell:

Replacing toolbox with busybox

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
busybox mv /system/bin/toolbox /system/bin/toolbox.bak
busybox ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/toolbox
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

Add a new command

After remounting rw /system

ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/COMMAND

For example:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/chroot
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

If you know a better way, tell me! Anyway I hope this could be useful;)
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Download "busybox" by Stericson

Install busybox thru that app

Uninstall "busybox" by Stericson (busybox will stay intact)
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Or just download BusyBox from Titanium Backup.
[Nexus S General] suksit:
# busybox --install /system/xbin

should do the trick -- be warned, you'll get *a whole lot* of symlinks to busybox :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] gnaurittiello:
Great, thanks. I've installed that busybox and it works great! :D
[Nexus S General] gnaurittiello:
Yes, I installed busybox in /system/xbin and it created a lot of symlinks, but it's ok because in this dir there is almost nothing.

Anyway, thanks for the tip ;)
[Nexus S General] r.ionescu:
???

Weird! After running shell script, I can no longer stay connected on wireless for more than a couple of minutes. I think something was replaced and it shouldn't be replaced!

Any hint?
[Nexus S General] rocketero:
In most Android systems, the c binary stalk is installed in /system/bin and is handled by TOOLBOX.

If we install BUSYBOX with any of the apps mentioned above, it will most likely be installed in /system/xbin

So at the end we'll end up with 2 utilities handling some binaries that are clones as it show in both /system/bin and /system/xbin

and because the PATH includes both locations then wouldn't that create some complications and possible hanging/crashing of the android system ???
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jegan107:
I just tried all the tips around here before I create this thread but honestly i could not sort out my issue...

I rooted & installed CWM final without any issues on my SGS4G...then I could Access the Zip rom & flash it via CWM (I even checked the device Mounts & Unmounts) every thing goes fine till it shows a message "Install completed from SD card" but when i reboot it keeps hanging on the Logo (GALAXY S 4G - SAMSUNG) it never pass from that Logo, i also tried with many latest roms such as Blackice, Audiophile & bionix but the same issue

Then i used to load a rom Via Odin (2.2.1 ) then tried the above process nearly 15 times :(

someone could pointout me where do i make a mistake & what should i need to confirm further more from above process?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
which rom are u flashing from????
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
after the initial flash, try going to the advanced menu, and reboot recovery. Then wipe everything again, check mounts, and reboot. give that a shot. If you are flashing icbinb, you need to enable voodoo lagfix in CWM and reboot recovery before rebooting the phone.

are you on orange CWM, or red CWM?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbood:
I just bought a SGS2 from amazon.com.. i had a samsung vibrant and a samsung galaxy s with t-mobile before that...

i just plugged in my GSM card and everything seemed to work fine.. i got some issues though, the most important is that im pretty sure my data connection speed is much slower than before. for example if i watch a youtube video it keeps on lagging etc..

to confirm my suspicion i got speedtest.net (the same company that does it on chrome) and this is what i got back:

Connection Type: Edge

Server: Snoqualmie, WA

Download: 190 kbps

Upload: 89 kbps

Ping: 509 ms

I don't know what to compare these numbers to.. but I should have a 4G connection..

I remember before I purchased the device I went to a t-mobile store and showed the rep that the phone I bought from amazon

supported the following network ranges (as detailed on the site):

Network: HSPA+ 21Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps, EDGE/GPRS Class 12, Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100

he said that t-mobile's 4G is actually an HSPA network.. so he said that it should support their full bandwith..

so wait did I just answer my own question? for my phone to support 4G it must be on an HSPA+ network not an edge one..

does anyone know how to make my phone connect to HSPA+ and not edge?

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_dani:
t-mo USA 4G and even 3G bands are not supported by Samsung GSII. bad luck, sorry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbood:
hum..

so what about at&t or verizon? does *any* carrier support Samsung Galaxy S II right now? Are you telling me that all of the folks on this forum from the states (which i'm guessing are the majority) are content with a phone running on 2G??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disfected:
AT&T is the only carrier the Galaxy S2 works on fully with HSPA+ 3G. The T-Mobile rep you visited most likely didn't know you need both 1700 and 2100 bands for the phone to work on their network, otherwise you'll only end up with EDGE speed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abbood:
att

yeah i just figured that out.. so i take it that if i'm a smart phone junkie (which i am) it's safe to stick w/ att as it would be the only carrier to support the latest and greatest phones produced in asia eh?

also if att's crappy customer service is of any concern.. i need not worry as they will soon gobble up t-mobile.. my current carrier..

oh well sounds good

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaoyina:
I recently bought a 9020A version, I found the GPS is not very good. I tried many roms, none of them worked well. Usually, it needs about 1 min to lock the sats with wifi open, and it is so not stable, even it was locked, it lost it very often. I tested with my moto defy at the same time using the same software, defy only needs 2-3 seconds to get the lock, and once it is locked, it will not lose it unless I close the software.

I just want to know, how is your GPS experience on NS?

Very cool, can't wait to see the finished product.
[Android Themes] Rominucka:
Thank you very much gentlemen!!!

I'm still in the image planning stage. I want everything in this theme to be very deliberate. I see a lot of similar themes that take pictures of characters and randomly assign them as app icons. I want everything to be very Doctor Who specific without being too campy. Anyhow...

I'm using the TW4 launcher for this dockbar. (This is more of an idea right now. I need to clean the picture up some more.)

It's a bank of monitors that were copied straight from the real Tardis console of the 1980s. It's actually one monitor copied, pasted and blended to look like a whole bunch.

I like it cause it gives a little bit of the impression that you're operating the Tardis console to access those apps.

This dockbar setup is what I'm experimenting with on the GummyCharge AOSP launcher.

I changed the app icon to a section of the late 70s-early 80s console; on the left is the old telephone that is inside the Tardis's front door (it looks like ****).

And on the right (browser icon) is the Symbol of Gallifrey, and it needs to be brightened because it doesn't show so well on the phone.

I'm not sure if I want to use TW4 as a base (cause it's really cool and actually working right for a change) or if I want to modify the AOSP launcher in a similar way.

I'm gonna have to learn a little more coding and fix some of the TW4 launcher's bugs. I'll probably just use both and do 2 releases.

If anyone has any ideas for the theme, please feel free to suggest.

I would say these don't work on gb.. the site they are from said that they were for froyo.. they affect your framework-res which is completely different from froyo. The error your getting about not enough space is because of metamorph, not your setup I don't think as I've gotten it a few times on froyo. I bet you have 2 busybox installs.
