Don't feel too cheated! They're pretty low quality headphones, but I'm kind of hard on headphones, so until I get another set, I'm kind of stuck with them for now

I've used countless headphones over the course of my life, and these are the first to shock me! I'd heard of iPhone headphones zapping unsuspecting users, but never any other ones...

Uh oh... Maybe we should close this thread before Steve Jobs sees it! :O I think Apple might own the patent on electro-static discharge!
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Apple owns the patent for audible vibrations emanating from a electromagnetic coil.
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
they have the patent for a power button too right? I've gotten shocked a bunch of times mainly It's my own fault taking clothes out of the dryer when I got to put a drier sheet in or wearing anything fleace.

That would be apple patent #1,956,754: Hardware mechanism or mechanisms that require a physical motion to power on/off an electronic or mechanical device.

EVO 3d doesn't come with headphones.

Aha! I was doing laundry when it happened! Seems like a fairly plausible theory :D

Oh great! Now every time I turn on a light switch, I have to pay a royalty to Overlord Jobs! Haha

I can assure you, Eric, my EVO 3D definitely came with headphones! I have a pretty good imagination at times, but my headphones didn't materialize out of thin air!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
My current modem version is I9000XXJQ1 and I have done the *#2263# drill to select 2100 & 850 bands (WCDMA) which my carrier supports.

However, when I check what is being used via *#0011#, only 2100 shows up.

I never see 850.

What am I doing wrong ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewi21:
your modem might not support the 850 mhz band, that sounds like an i9000 modem
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
I found the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391

where my modem is listed as including the 850 band.

There is a comment in that thread which I don't really understand:

"A I9000 based kernel (reoriented) is required for the I9000 modems to be usable on the Captivate"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewi21:
What rom/kernel are you running?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewi21:
And it means that ur kernel needs to be based off an i9000 kernel not a i897 kernel, most kernels say in their dev thread. Have a look at the talondev thread for example
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnarchoXen:
The thread posted is where you need to start.

As the post above says...i9000 kernel/i9000 modem...i987 kernel/i987 modem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewi21:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
If currently I have the XXJQ1 modem which is I9000 based, should there be an issue if I switch to UGJL2 which is also listed as I9000 based?

The only problem I have with the current modem is the fact that 850 is never utilized. only 2100.

I have read posts from other captivate owners using same kernel that UGJL2 worked for them.

One question though, can I flash the modem using Recovery from the external SD card ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalda01:
Asking again if UGJL2 should work with my 2.2.1 based rom.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blutruck:
Looking at the above it appears that you on a I897 rom and kernal. You would need to use an I897 based modem. I9000 modems might not work properly.

From the modem thread original post:

"A I9000 based kernel (reoriented) is required for the I9000 modems to be usable on the Captivate"

There are a few I897 modems floating around. KB1 is one and KH3 is new.

I'm a bit conused as my current modem is XXJQ1 and it is listed as I9000 based and not I897 based. the modem works fine except the fact that only band 2100 is used and not 850. How does a I9000 based modem work at all ?

Can someone explain that to me ?

Do i have to install only version 1.17.1?

2.3 Upgrade from Viewsonic support [With Jailbreak]

I know this probably a moot point on a ROM loader site, but I just bought a jailbreak and 2.3 upgrade for my G Tablet, which leaves the warranty intact. It is coming from their 3rd party support company, U.S. Merchants.

They helped me through some problems with Tap-n-Crap. In fact, this jailbreak also removes any constraints on where I can shop. Bye-Bye Amazon and Handango, [I could never get Handango to work]

The ROM upgrade cost $90, but at least the warranty is still good. Maybe when it is out, I will be more adventurous. btw, they were selling the dock for $49.

Would you mind posting a little more info as to the 'jailbreak' you received?

i am within 21 days for a return and willing to pay extra for the 3g tab

they will not take it back as the box has been opened.?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MattSkeet:
Statutory rights m8.

If the item is not fit for purpose they are obligated to fix it.

If it can't be fixed then replaced if can't replace you can get a refund.

Just because Currys have their own returns policy doesn't mean that you don't have rights.

They will try prove that item is faulty or does not work properly but obviously they won't be able to, only thing you need to remember is that the customer is always right

I think you may have misunderstood, there's some text that say's you can't use the Tab WiFi in France only if you're outdoors. Something to do with frequency interference, I'm sure it'll work fine indoors though. I'm taking my Tab to France at the end if next month.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Entropy512:
Did you actually try it?

Something like this makes no sense. WiFi is WiFi, there's nothing that will make it not work in a specific country.

Exception: In Japan/Europe, there are a few extra channels not present in the United States.

Also, all European countries use the same frequencies.

Israel has a specific restriction on outdoor use of four channels.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

As to it being fit for use - it was fit for use in the country it was sold in. If you want to guarantee fitness for use in your own country, buy it in your own country.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
Shown on the Tab packaging

Your wifi will work, but you're not supposed to use any wifi device outdoors in France by the looks of it. A google search shows that lots of people have found the same warning in their device instructions, although many seem to ignore it.

Hey Guys,

I've rooted my SGSII. Once i got to the point of flashing the new firmware using Odin, upon rebooting my phone, i noticed the screen contrast is quite higher than it used to be (Blacks and greys look washed out, colours are too bright).

I rooted my phone using Odin and Superoneclick - As per instructions here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056334

I'm using Android 2.3.3 and my Kernel version now shows as

ROOT@DELL103 #2

I've got root now, which is excellent, but if for whatever reason, I can't resolve this screen contrast issue i'm happy to give it up.

Could someone please provide me with some detailed instructions on either:

a) How to fix the contrast issue inside of the phone settings (i've had a good look and i don't think there's anything i can change, I see no other display options aside from brightness)

b) A different method of flashing the firmware which won't result in this issue

c) Removing the root from my phone all together and returning to stock

For the record, i'm using an Australian version of the handset, which was purchased through Vodafone.

Tips?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Add the Power Widget to a screen. Select the right-hand icon. This moves the image from auto to bright to very bright to auto. See if this solves the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentBootman:
Thanks for your response. I have tested this and this is not the case. It's definitely not related to the screen brightness, as the contrast is way too high on any brightness setting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
You have a very old ROM (KDD).

The link you gave for rooting has been superceeded (as mentioned at the very top of the first post) to * HERE *

I would download the Samsung KIES software (you can back up photos, videos, texts, contacts, etc) and also check and download the lastest firmware for your phone. Once that is done you can use the link above to reroot your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentBootman:
Strangely enough, i took a backup using KIES previously and when i tried to restore it after reverting to factory defaults to try resolve the problem above, the backup failed to restore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Check that the KIES program is the lastest version.

I rarely use KIES but it did backup my settings correctly.

You should use it to download the lastest ROM, that should solve your contrast problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentBootman:
I have the latest ROM, so no downloads are available through KIES, sadly.

May I ask what was the final version of kernel you fired into?

I might as well list out the following information which might needed to find out the compatibility of a modified kernel:

Hi guys,

I am also suffering from this problem. I really hope you can help me.

I was following a guide to get root access, and as soon as I flashed I noticed my screen was washed out. So I reflashed back to the original Samsung firmware (download mode even says Official Samsung for firmware), but the screen became even worse upon flashing again.

Can anyone please provide any suggestions? The only thing I can think of now is buying a USB Jig, going back to where I got it from and acting dumb so I can get it fixed.

I should also note that it is a Telstra phone, so when I reflashed it I guess that was not the Telstra Samsung Galaxy S II firmware. But should that matter?

Hi everyone,

sorry to double post. I basically spent all night trying to figure it out (and did), so I thought i'd just post what I did for anyone also suffering from this problem.

I tried using the Samsung stock firmware, but that had made the problem worse. So I fished around and finally found the official Telstra firmware (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&page=12), flashed it with that and it worked beautifully.

So if anyone is also experiencing this issue ensure that you are using the firmware for your specific carrier.
