[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Of course you can update official firmwares via Odin. But as you are sometimes getting connection with Kies, I'd advice you to re install the drivers and then try again. And make sure USB debugging is Off before connecting.

However if the problem remains then Odin is the option, and you can get official firmwares from here,

Your Baseband is KG1! Did you update via Odin before? If you updated a leaked version then Kies won't support any further update.

How can I get kies to work to update my SGS to gingerbread?

Hi I'm a noob member of this forum, but have been watching it for 3 months. With suggestions from this site, I have eventually managed to get the current version of kies (2.0.0.11014_49) to connect to my Galaxy S I9000 - at least some of the time (it's a bit hit and miss).

I have been able to sync my contacts and podcasts from my phone to my computer using kies.

I can get to the kies screen for updating firmware. BUT - this is the really frustrating part - it tells me that my firmware is up to date.

It correctly tells me that my firmware version is:

PDA-JP5 PHONEJP3 CSC-JP4(XSA) - this matches the output of the not-so-secret key-code.

From the handset, in Settings About Phone I get:

Firmware version 2.2

Baseband DTJP3

Kernel version 2.6.32.9 foot@SE-S604 #7

Build FROYO.DTJP5

I am aware of the post "Kies firmware update without using (all of) Kies!" by miki4242, but this doesn't apply to the latest kies. Does anyone know how to do the same thing with the current version of kies?

I'm also aware of the post "Kies 2.0 Registry Patcher 1.8.0.0, patch registry on latest Kies" by Nodial, but I'm looking to do it as simply as I can. I have not rooted my phone, and would prefer to use Samsung software (kies or part thereof) to get gingerbread. Surely it shouldn't be so hard!?!

(Or why can't we get it as a download direct to the phone from samsung or the market?)

PS: I tried to post this qn as a new thread, but the site wouldn't let me (the error msg said I couldn't paste outside links).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hightower68:
Hi guys

Im confused about the model of my phone.

I originally bought my phone from Bell mobility in Canada. It was dubbed the vibrant.

However, all the forums guides and whatever I read state that the vibrant is model I900M.

Now when i look in "about phone" I have I9000. When I look at system utilitiy apps they indicate I9000. When I look at benchmark apps they say I9000.

Not one has said I9000M

Im currently on Gingerbread 2.3.4 xxjvR

The reason I ask is because all these flash rom updates are always warning of bricking your phone because the rom is for I9000 and NOT the Vibrant.

So what gives. Do I have an I9000 model or is it indeed the Vibrant but showing a wrong model #?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
this is really strange
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archie53:
You have an I9000. It was called a Vibrant in Canada but is much closely related to the European version and is not compatible with the tmobile Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hightower68:
Thank you soooo much for finally clearing that up.

Now I dont have all these fears of bricking the phone doing flashes.

Cheers
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McDown:
I just checked my Vibrant from Bell Canada that I got couple of days ago and it says I9000M :confused:

Does that mean I can't use the roms for the Vibrant posted on XDA?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hightower68:
You know I have no clue. Too many conflicting opinions.

I've been using I9000 updates for a few months and other than

Stupid lag it all works.

My phone system information all says I9000 but I just

Happened to look under battery the other day and it says

I9000M. So for Pete sake take your pick.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McDown:
I should take a pick as soon as I finish my charge/drain circle.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george_nanjing:
Hi,

I try to access the front camera of this phone.

From the debug information, I get that "preview-frame-rates" of the front camera is only 15.

Therefore, when I record a video with this front camera, the maximum fps I can achieve is 15.

However, when I use the default Camera app from the phone and try to record a video from the front camera, I can get around 25 fps. Not sure how this app can do this. Any comments are welcome.

Another interesting thing is: by using the Camera app from the phone, there are two modes with front camera, one for video saving and one for image saving.

It is very obvious that the live preview in video saving mode is much faster (around 25fps) than the live preview in image saving mode (around 15fps judged by eyes), but it is also darker. I guess they use different settings for exposure control for these two.

Is there anyway we can get achieve a higher preview-frame-rate of the front camera ideally through android sdk???

Any insights are welcome.

Thanks.

George

How the heck is it possible that while screen-off, my battery usage is between -401 and -495 mA? Is this normal? GSM version btw.

I had an android HD2, it uses average of -3mA
[HTC EVO 3D] jason62082:
I know this sounds stupid, but have you installed any apps? HTC has said most battery drain issues are due to "bad" apps. Maybe do a nandroid, wipe data, and perform the same test from a stock clean ROM?

Might be an obvious question but do you have a Live Wallpaper enabled?
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
check your battery use in the settings. That'll help narrow what the cause is. Also keep an eye on your signal strength. Switching between roaming an not roaming takes a toll on the battery. Weaker signals also mean the phone is working harder to keep the signal. You can also go to Applications -> running services to see if anything instslled is keeping the phone awake.

[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
Download CPU Spy from the market and see if your phone is able to go into DEEP SLEEP. if not, then remove 1 app/widget at a time till it does, voila, you found the rogue app!
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Same exact problem here. My HD2 would use anywhere from 2-6 ma on idle with the screen off. This was running a non-sense ROM of course (CM7 or Vanilla 2.3).

My 3VO is still stock and it idles at anywhere from 40 to 300+ ma. It makes no sense. My HD2 got far better battery life with a much smaller battery.

I think once we get rid of stupid ass sense and get a clean AOSP/CM7 build, things will be much nicer.
[HTC EVO 3D] jj14:
This is where I'd also recommend you start
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
That's all "normal" if you can call it that. Display taking up the most, but still in standby the readings are very high, but I guess sense does this seeing as more people have this problem..
[HTC EVO 3D] show220:
battery help

are the battery watcher app/widgets good or bad ? im losing battery every min .. phone is rooted and .. the rom that i have people are saying there getting 10.5 hours .. wtf i want 10.5
[HTC EVO 3D] jj14:
Practically, how much is your battery life dropping? Example: 100% to 60% in 2 hours? And what was the phone used for in that duration.

For example, If I charge my CDMA EVO 3D to 100% at 9pm and unplug it and leave it idle overnight, it goes from 100% to 98% by 7am. So, on idle, it drops 2% in 10 hours.
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
It drops about 6% in 10 hours here, but that is because I have a lot of stuff syncing. That is not the problem nor my question though, I don't say my battery life is bad, I'm just saying the mah usage is really high. So that doesn't seem normal (minimum of 100mah in standby) when my hd2 had 3 or 4 mah. This could mean that if somehow we got the 3vo to drop to 3 or for mah, it would have a battery life of 2 weeks?
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisftlse:
Hi,

Same comsumption : 2-3 % per night in idle (around 7 to 8 hours)

Better than my previous HD2.

I am trying to use the Elixir widget to display the real time battery drop, but encountering some issue at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
My battery got now two fully cycles of dischargeing/charging.

Each time it reaches 100% I ran the battery calibration.

Went to bed at night on 01.00 wiht 45% and woke up on 9oclock witch 45% =).

...can someone confirm, that the battery stops charing until it reaches 100%?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] NachoNut:
I'll just update this thread with what I had in the other once since this will be the main one.

Before updating, I uninstalled the Zune Beta and re-installed the retail copy prior to running the 7720 bat file from the package. (It had given me an error about the version of tools not matching my zune, so I figured that would fix it... and it did).

After installing Zune, I ran the bat file and now the phone is up and running with 7720. This was a pretty legit install. All previous data has been retained and i DID NOT have to revert to NoDo (just as the instructions say you can proceed from where you are).

Also, after installing, Zune prompted me to update my HTC HD7 with the official HTC update that came out not too long ago.

So i'd say this is fully functional 7720 release. Hope that helps.

As a precaution, I removed all the music stored on my phone before proceeding with the update and it worked like a charm. Thanks everyone on XDA, you rock guys!

Mango RTM is indeed snappier, the transitions are smoother (e.g. tile gradual disappearance when launching from the tile menu, when launching the contacts hub, etc).
