[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Several months ago, I started receiving unsolicited text messages.... this happened for several days and escalated to the point where I was getting 25-30 messages daily.... they were all from unusual, incomplete sender numbers (like sent from "3481", or "5892"). I finally responded to one of them, which said, "To stop receiving these messages, text the word "STOP" to 3481". The messages stopped coming.

When going over last month's T-Mobile bill, (which I rarely do because it's automatically debited every month), I noticed a $29. charge from "MundoMedia text services". I looked at the previous month's charges, and there it was again..... I immediately contacted T-Mobile and told them I had not subscribed to MundoMedia or any other "text service". They COULD NOT remove these past charges because they had already paid MundoMedia these monthly fees. T-Mobile explained to me that, much like computer-generated sales calls to random numbers, there are now computer-generated text messages that go out to random numbers..... And whenever someone texts back to them (even when instructed by the message to send the word "stop" back to them), you're UNKNOWINGLY signing up for this monthly service.

Bottom line, after I got the unsolicited service removed from my current month's bill, T-Mobile offered me "insurance" for $4.95 a month that would eliminate any future incidents like this again.... I'm actually considering it because I have 5-lines on my "Family Plan", so this could get costly.... one way or another (unfortunately)...

I also posted this in the XDA "General" forum, but I want fellow Streakers to be "in the loop" specifically, because I wish I'd known about this before it happened :(
[Streak 5 General] aaronv89:
Wow thanks for this Info, good looking out.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Here in the UK, TMobile will on request block unsolicited text messages on your line at no charge to you.

That's fraud ^ you should report them to whatever body deals with that in the USA, again here in the UK we have a department/body who is responsible for overseeing these companies and keeping them legal http://www.phonepayplus.org.uk/ (used to be called ICSTIS).
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Troute..... I totally agree with you and would love to report this Mundo Media to an agency that squashes these types of organizations. Unfortunately, because of our capitalistic society here in the States, these type of organizations not only exist, but become successful by exploiting others. Heck, they are celebrated as models of financial opportunity for others who might want to invest or feed off their scam or otherwise figure out a way to capitalize further by their under-handed practices (i.e., T-Mobile wants to charge me MORE money to "fix" this scam). I'm surprised some filthy investment banker type hasn't approached Mundo Media with an offer to take their company public on Wall Street, so other money-grubbing pigs can invest and exploit people on an even broader scale }:-[
[Streak 5 General] donalgodon:
Mundo is probably a front for a secretly funded off shore multiple carrier-based consortium formed so they can 'encourage' you to purchase 'insurance' against it. :D

(I'm only half-joking)
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Donalgodon..... I wonder if I'm being half-paranoid to think you're probably right? :)
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
Wow, just saw this discussion. Theres a posting on the ATT forum about spammed text but the poster was wonderimg where its coming from. I wonder if this is the source.

[Streak 5 General] valest:
I wonder if this Mundo Media is run by Chinese,cuz I have been seeing lot of crap like this in China,and I mean A LOT.Alternatively,they can make calls to random phone number,including your number,if you call them in return,you are in hell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad Maniak:
Hi everyone,

I have a Galaxy S that is rooted, but runs on stock Froyo.

In the last couple of weeks/months it has been slugging to a slow halt though... when I start it up, it can take tens of minutes to be ready to use. And when I use it, it sometimes shows black screens for minutes at a time.

Using this 'high-end' phone has become a very, very painful process for me.

So I started looking for answers. And I found them. A LOT of them.

So much, I am not sure where to start.

The last few days I have been casually reading and taking in data from this forum, but I have yet failed to form me a proper view of what to do... Kernels, ROMs, speed fixes, modems... help?

I am sorry if I am breaking any rules; I did search, and I did read. However, no thread I found has a proper and up-to-date guide regarding the best way to get my phone to be a powerhouse, not a snail.

(Could I keep my current apps installed?)

I would very much appreciate anyone who is willing to donate some time to get me going. I know some programming and am the families 'go-to-guy' when it comes to computers, so I should be ok once I get some pointers on what to look for.

Thank you for reading (and responding?),

MM

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad Maniak:
I did read that; thanks for the suggestion though.

It doesn't really go into kernels/roms/modems etc. which my main confusion is about.

I just downloaded darky's ROM... Reading their site, but I am afraid of losing my apps, not going to 2.3, having it interfere with my lagfix etc. =/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spezia12:
If you are afraid of loosing apps you can use titanium backup. You can download it from the market. I can't tell you anymore because that thread explains very well what you have to do. But i can say that after some time it will be very easy and you will not be afraid to flash a kernel or a rom. I post this too but i think you have read this too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad Maniak:
I did read that... I missed the 2.2 / 2.3 part however.

I planned on using Darky's ROM but that link says its a Froyo ROM.

Which one is better, currently; Cyanogen (Gingerbread) or Darky's (Froyo)?

Edit: also, while that post lists a lot of options, it in no way goes into which is the best option for which people...

Increasing the confusion a little bit more, so to speak.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spezia12:
Try cyanogenmod and darkyy rom and decide which is the best. I can't recommend anything you have to decide. But i suggest to upgrade to gingerbread. Your phone will get smoother. (darky's 10.2 is based on jvq a 2.3.4 gingerbread firmware). Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061946 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091. Remember: with cyanogenmod you have to use different kernels
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marib.alam:
I'm a noob but I'll try to clear out few things for you.

From what I understand ROMs are like operating systems you use on PC.you currently have a froyo ROM running and flashing a gingerbread ROM will be like going from windows XP to windows 7.

when you download a ROM and unrar it you'll see 3 files.

PDA is the main one. PDA is Android and the apps that come with it. MODEM is the firmware of the wireless chipset of the device, it controls WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G/2G/GSM connections. The CSC holds connection data for the broadband networks as well as apps that are only available in certain languages/intended for a specific area or operator.

A kernel is like the heart of the operating system.It manages the system resources and acts as bridge between the software and hardware.

Now there are stock kernels and custom kernels. when you flash(install) a stock ROM all the necessary things are installed along with the stock kernel.

But if you wish you can flash custom kernels over stock kernels.

The speed/lag fix things you have read are basically conversion of file systems to enhance the I/O performance of your phone. You should know of the NTFS,FAT32 file systems in windows, similarly you android phone can have RFS,EXT4 file system. when you flash a stock rom RFS is default file system that gets installed.Many say that this RFS is to blame for the lag,slowness in our phone so what we do? we convert to EXT4. but to convert to EXT4 you need to be running a custom kernel.

So let me tell you this go on and flash a stock gingerbread rom, Im using the latest stock 2.3.4 XXJVR and you should try it. then you flash the voodoo kernel for XXJVR. it'll root your phone,convert the file system to EXT4.

reply if you have confusions.

cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anukilimanoor:
Now you are on froyo. If you want to upgrade to gingerbread you should loose your application. Because if you backup your application using titanium backup or any other software from froyo. Its not advisable to restore in gingerbread. It will give always problem. So better way is download Drakys v10.2RE and do a fresh install.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plantaman:
This happened to me once, when I was already on Froyo, lagfix activated, etc.

Took forever to boot, and was slow as hell.

Reason: faulty microsd card. The phone kept trying to read from it, and was unable to. I tried taking out the card and... voilá!

You could be still on Éclair and no lag fix activated, the phone would never behave like that. Try taking out the microsd card.

(Couldn't even read the card in the computer, so you see).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad Maniak:
Hi guys, a small update:

I got Darky's 10.2, which is VERY smooth.

I reformatted my external microSD and put my stuff (music) back on it. Clean install on the internal SD.

It is a very enjoyable device once again. Two issues:

-It sometimes hangs on a black screen which I can't get out of with the home button. It seems only a battery in-and-out fixes this. (This issue worries me; is the internal SD corrupted?)

-The external microSD sometimes needs to be ejected and re-inserted to work.

Any solutions regarding that? Should I get a new microSD, or even contact Samsung to ask for a new phone (especially the first issue worries me... a lot).

Again, thanks a lot for the very extensive answers.

Especially marib; your post was very informative, and I'll be keeping a bookmark of it for future reference... thanks!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abbamust:
Hi

I

know

this has been asked before, and I

have

read for hours.

But, this is like a big problem now.

I have installed HSPL 2.08 and aMAGDLR 1.13.

Something has gone wrong somewhere, and the phone uses one night to boot up any android version. It load over the night :).

So, I want to flash in HSPL and MAGDLR again.

I do not have any WPH installed, so I cant get active sync running to flash.

So I need to go into bootloader. THIS I CANT DO!

I have tried like 100 times. Nothing works.

I have tried holding voldown pressing end call or red reset button. Always the white HTC-screen comes on, and enters MAGDLR, and if I still holds voldown, it scrolls down the whole menu.

Actualle I have gotten in booloader one time, but then I was not prepeard for it, and had to turn off again.

I know that my battery is quite poor. Can this have anyting to do with this?

Can I go into bootloader from inside android?

What can I do?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Remove battery,

Push and hold volume down,

Put battery back,

Press power and hold volume down.

And you are in bootloader :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
To make it clear volume down as to be hold pushed all the time until you get into bootloader.

Hope this helped you.

If it did, give me a thanks ;)

Than you are doing something wrong.

Or you have a mutant hd2 lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Okay try this :

Remove battery,

With left hand press and hold volume down,

With the other hand you put the battery back in and press AND hold the power button, so power and volume pressed and hold, wait until you see the bootloader.

This will work (at least it worked on my phone 1min ago)

I saw all the people with mix results so I held off for a quality cable from a company I can trust and been making cables for a long time.

I got the:

BELKIN - HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE WITH HDMI MICRO CONNECTOR.

6FT. OR 1.8M

$30.00

I just tested it out for 5 minutes last night. It worked great. I set the HDMI setting to automatic. As soon as I plug cable in it worked.

I was saying, Awesome!!!
