I created a backup from system only. Then restored it, then reboot. Now my phone also freezes on boot animation! what's your issue?

I thinks when restoring a system backup which had problem in system font before, has the problem with booting to system again. has not it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dblaster:
Wait a minute....you made the nandroid backup after changing the font in system???

Yes, if you restore a system partition which already has a problem in it, the problem won't go.

Now do this:

1- If you have the rom file in your internal sd, fine. But if not, place it on the external sd card.

2- Boot to recovery. And without wiping anything (you don't want to lose your data, right?) just flash the rom.

3- Reboot the device.

If any problem occurs (i hope none will happen now), just post it. I'll try to help as much as possible :).

No! i explained it before. My nandroid backup was before changing font. But you told me to backup just system in recovery and then restore it. Your issue was wrong! because i told u my phone freezes in boot animation and don't boot too system. I restored my nandroid backup and now it's OK...

"Select backup" meant that "select the nandroid you had made before", but you took it for making a new backup and restoring it.

hello to everyone.

Take a look here. You can find stock roms for specific regions.

Or just flash any stock rom and hope that the service center guys don't notice about the rom region.

It's better to flash the rom which originally came with the device, but since you don't remember it, you'll have to take the chance.

Good Luck!

It should work fine as the recovery has it's own kernel.

You can also flash TWRP from the stock recovery, and, if you got the recovery loop, you will have to flash the bootloader via ODIN (look in the wiki page).

Hi Frnds,

I have a SGS Plus

I m using CM9 by arco on it.

Today morning I accidentally dropped my phone on floor and there was a bit of water over there...some water got in through speaker hole and when i removed the black panel I saw some water coming out of speaker as it was playing music....Then I thought as everything is fine so there is no problem...

Then when I tried to charge it was not charging...Then in the afternoon, the mobile began charging for a while...then again in evening it stopped charging...

Then I read somewhere that it gets charging when in download mode. I tried it n battery went from 22 to 27 in a trial run

I have again left it in download mode....Lets see whether it is getting really charged or not...

Is there a way to charge the phone normally....I m out of warranty...

Also, what might have been wrong.

Anyone else faced this problem and got any solution....

One more thing is when i connect the charger in switch off mode, it does not charge but switch on the mobile

I dropped my phone into water once.

Take out the battery and leave it opened, just let it dry for a day?! (I really mean let it dry some time, you dont know where the water got)

When you put the battery back in everything is back to normal.

Or you will have to ask...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
You have to take battery out immediately when you drop in the water the phone and you have to wait till is dry. If you don't do so you risk to break it, it is working initially but then it may stop work

I would try to change the kernel. Although never had an error like this but it sound like the hardware is not responding correctly to your input (the plug ;) ). Maybe in download mode, the communication between hardware and software is based on a different system part then in normal mode. But I'm just guessing.

All 3.0... Kernels have a lower battery drain than the newer 3.4 ones

Which Kernel and ROM are you using?

To improve the battery drain you just have to disable all unnecessary autostart entries with the app "Autostarts" (also a paid playstore version available, if the app helped you)

And have a look for "Partial Wakelocks" with the App "Better Battery Stats" and try to fix these (for example disable some/all autostarts of apps which cause most of the wakeups)

(I had to disable Google Search which cause many wakelocks on my android - now my batterydrain is <1%/h if my phone is in standby)

Some apps like to start with your smartphone bootprocess, even if you disabled the autostart feature in their preferences...

This is just the stuff you can improve to reduce battery drain in standby (display-turned-off) mode!

If the display is turned on its the highest energy consument of your battery... you could buy a bigger battery (1800mAh) to improve overall duration

Hi,

I'm using the same rom and also with stock kernel. First I was very diappointed about the battery life compared to 4.1.2, but now it is much better. I have changed the governor to smartassV2 (and allowed to keep it after reboot) and installed two apps: greenify and battery doctor:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5vYXNpc2ZlbmcuZ3JlZW5pZnkiXQ..

Not sure which one helped more (I think greenify) but now I have 25-30h battery life with 3G constantly on and moderate usage (web browsing, facebook, some games, some calls)

This is even better then with my previous 4.1.2 rom.

Looks like it is more complicated to install this adb stuff then doing the whole backup procedure.

Sorry for being so noob, but could not find a really detailed description of this backup (which is quite strange if it is really that necessary to do it before flashing)

So what I mean on "detailed" is something like:

Install this: link

connect your phone/or not connect your phone

write this into cmd

do this, do that,

...etc

I would really appreciate something like this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7med:
Sorry if I couldn't help you.

IMO this backup is not required if you only flash "trusted" ROMs via recovery even if the risk exists, and I think it's safer to not try this than to do it and miss something because you could break your phone playing with dd and system partitions.

Happy flashing

heyho, i got a couple of question because it feels like some weird / annoying things happening atm:

1) on desktop i totally love my opera but today i updated it on my sgs+ and i really dont like the new style (this discover feature seems more like "hey i gonna use your bandwith and drain your handy") - moreover it seems to be stressing the phone more and make it laggy.

i tried out baidu browser and like it so far except for the hotside categories ( i know that you can add sites there but is it possible to remove the pre installed anyhow? ) (or a other lightwell smooth browser, i dont need that much (thought about going with the standard browser even, but i dont like the text formating both (baidu and stock one arent able to format sides like "zeit.de" properly :( )

2) currently i am running castagnalIT 11.0 and CM10 2.5 and i am also looking for some kind of adblock, could you suggest anything?

3) in the playstore there is a "new" app, called hangouts (replaces TALK) but this and TALKBACK are still in the list to be updated; can i delete talk and install hangout or shall i install both or even none?

4) i prefer swipe / swype like keyboards and currently use Kii keyboard but like it is mentioned in its settings, it can lag on older devices and i experience them quite often; on my stock sgs+ i used to use the default swipe keyboard which worked great; are there any more light / smooth keyboard replacesmentions you could suggest me?

Problem with CM 10.1

Hey guys,

for a few weeks I have some problems with my SGS+:

1) Some apps (like instagram, browser, rocket player and other...) run very slowly and let the phone return to the home screen without any notification. When I look at the wifi or internet icon, it turns grey (normally it's holo blue) after that.

Sometimes I also have to force close them or remove my battery to turn my phone off. Everything worked fine before the latest CM update (2.0), but I'm not sure, whether the new update (2.5) has any effect on this...

Yesterday I resetted my phone and installed all apps again, but I still have the same issues.

2) Once I patched an application using Lucky Patcher and downloaded a crack for google play (everything before resetting my phone).

Could one or both be the reason for my problems?
