[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black_adder_cro:
I tried to flash Froyo on my friend's SGS.

It had Eclair 2.1 update 1

Three button combination never worked.

So....I had problems with MTP application but eventually I managed to connect the phone with KIES.

KIES offered me the update and I followed the steps.

Once the update process began the screen of the phone turned absolutely green.

When the progress in KIES came to 13% it stopped and I plugged the phone out after an hour or so because nothing was happening.

Now the phone is bricked and what ever I do it only shows black screen with a small white phone and a PC and the orange warning triangle is in between.

So..I can't get into download mode,and that's exactly what KIES suggests so I have no idea what to do.

Please help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Simple, call up samsung and get them to fix it for you. They have service centres all over the place. Those symbols means its a software brick, which in most cases is easily fixable.

Alternatively buy a jig from ebay, to force download mode, and then follow what Kies says, or use odin to flash the stock or custom rom.

PLEASE USE THE SEARCH BAR FIRST AS THIS HAS BEEN ASKED MANY TIMES

[HTC EVO 3D] StellarWiid:
So I'm gonna sell my EVO 3D but I'm not sure how much to sell it for. Here's what it has:

Perfect condition with box, only used about a month

Rooted

2 HTC chargers

2 HTC batteries

16GB Class 10 Micro SD card

I was thinking on listing it on Craigslist for $400 but does that seem like too much? Btw no hatred, I'm only selling it cuz I am dropping a line. I just need some advice.
[HTC EVO 3D] SPreston2001:
I dont think you will get $400 for it, but it should sell rather quickly.
[HTC EVO 3D] jonathonccs:
ask for $250
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
There a lots of 3d I see on CL. The good thing is its rooted. As the new ones you get from sprint has hboot1.5 and hasn't been fully rooted so the only way to get them with 1.4 is ebay or CL. I would say minimum $300 just because its rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] StellarWiid:
Thanks for the help guys, I ended up listing it for 360 obo. I'll leave it at that and of no one responds all drop it to $300 firm.
[HTC EVO 3D] iBurn:
I would go for 350
[HTC EVO 3D] StellarWiid:
I took your advice and listed it for $350, I think more people will see it then.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyLangsok:
I've flashed Oxygen 2.3 which is based on 2.3.7 about a week ago and it's running smooth.

I went to UOT and cooked myself a file to replace fonts (F06 Sony Sketch), smileys (B2 smiley) , bootanimation (Nexus One) and lockscreen (Rotary).

I uploaded the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk to the kitchen and the fonts are changed and bootanimation is also working, but the smileys and the lockscreen hasn't changed.

Has anybody got a clue why it didn't do that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:

Can some one xplain me what is LOS and how do i know if i have or not this problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
haha.. L.O.S. = Loss Of Signal.. with mine it occured after i rooted and installed zedomax v3 OC kernal.. it would randomly completely drop both data and phone signal completely and leave an X by the bars.. Only way I could get it back on mine was to reboot the phone.. I've since installed Starburst 1.4 with the eg30+ kernal and my LOS has stopped.. Ive heard this isnt the case for others, others cant stop the LOS no matter if there on stock or rooted with any kernal.. So if you havent had that before, I wouldnt worry about it too much!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kaokollaa:
Thanx my friend and im glad i dint have that problem :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kaokollaa:
One more question if you can answer me cuz i want to flash a rom and im not able to do it cuz when i go to cwm and hit install zip it wont show me the rom that i just downloaded from xda, it show me a blank folder with nothing inside please help thanxand sorry about my english
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
You have to put the ROM on root of USB storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
yea what he said lol.. it has to go on root of usb storage.. my epic touch doesnt even have a sd card yet.. havent needed it :-)
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Hi all,

I'm making this thread just to let everyone know, that I discovered a DRAMATIC sound improvement when recording video on MIUI 1.9.30, which is my current rom.

I've done a lot of videos of myself playing the cello lately. Until now I've been on VoidU rom and the sound of the videos was very bad. It seemed clear that the internal microphone of the Desire S is not capable of recording the loud sound of a cello being about 2 meters away from it. The result was a crackling and strongly distorted sound.

It was a very pleasant surprise to hear my today's recordings, as the sound is incomparably better then it was before. It's actually good enough for publishing on youtube. I would never imagine that this could be possible just changing software.

(Didn't test it with other roms yet.) Thanx SuperKid!

.
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
Good to hear , Will some time try MIUI,

Till then m good with Runny1.5
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Any idea what exactly the changes were? were they in ROM base or in the Kernel? and more importantly can they be moved into a Sense ROM!:confused: like VoidU!!!
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Yea, thanks for posing these questions for me.

Well I don't know if this is ROM or kernel. And it might be a little tricky to test, since the kernels of VoidU and MIUI aren't interchangeable, right?

What I can do is try MIUI with TIAMAT in the same conditions.

As to what happened with the sound exactly, my impression is that the MIUI ROM might somehow guard the recording process so it does not get overexcited. It sounds like it is cutting off the excess sound input and maybe even compressing it, so it fits the possibilities of the recording device.

I thing this is often used in pro. sound recording, and the device (or software) is called compressor. You can set a loudness limit and the device takes everything that exceeds that limit and makes it quieter.
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Try to post some bits of the vids later so you can see the difference.
[HTC Desire S] beefslayer:
I don't know if anyone tried this, but recording a video while having your earphones plugged into your Desire S improves the audio quality as well.

Too bad there isn't any news on increasing FPS, or is there?
[HTC Sensation] ahmeddemha7:
hopefully this isnt a dumb question but when i have my phone on vibrate, it never seems to vibrate when i get an email. it vibrates for texts but not emails. i haven't found any gmail notification setting.
[HTC Sensation] TJBunch1228:
Open Gmail app. Menu. More. Settings. Choose your email address. Labels to notify. Inbox. Choose vibrate always.
[HTC Sensation] ahmeddemha7:
thanks alot, i cant believe i didnt find that option :)
[HTC Sensation] TJBunch1228:
No problem, GMail recently updated the app and changed the settings. It used to be really easy to find. Now it's hidden in some dark corner of the settings.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
I bought a factory refurbished streak off of eBay a few days ago. One day it froze randomly.

Afterwards, it turned on with a blank black screen and with the LEDs on.

I tried QDL Tool (Both versions), and I get SUCCESS with "streakflash"

As for "repairtool" I get a hang at ADB-- However, after it times out, my phone goes into ADB mode and I am able to use fast boot. I manually flashed all the files in the 'images' folder as per this post http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/7108099-post3.html, but it still turns on with a blank black screen. Battery door seems to be on securely. Does anybody have any idea of what I could do? I'm calling Dell, but I doubt they'll honor any warranty since I bought it off CL.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenorntex:
It has been a while for me since I had to flash from start, but why not boot into FASTBOOT, then send the recovery IMG to it then restore factory stock image, or the streakmod recovery image and then flash whatever rom you want onto it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
I got into fastboot, flashed recovery, boot, system, and userdata. Still black with blank screen, no matter what combo I try. Any other suggestions?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenorntex:
Have you tried installing just the recovery.img file and corresponding stock pkg file?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
I've flashed recovery, then no button combos will let me into recovery. Everything I try brings me to a blank lit up black screen with the LEDs occasionally on/off.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
ok heres what i have deducted...

I can get into fastboot mode normally, with camera and power, then pressing where the fastboot button should be.

I'm guessing my phone's screen broke, somehow, randomly, while I was playing with a rom. weird.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike's Aria:
Try a different recovery from the streak wiki.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
no deal, its something wrong with the screen.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike's Aria:
If you're able to see your screen to get into fastboot, then I don't see how it could be your screen.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
Guess I didn't make myself clear--

When I turn it on in fastboot mode, the screen lights up black--then I press the area where the button for fastboot is, and it boots into fastboot mode (I know this because if I connect a cable at this point, I can flash with fastboot). The screen remains lit and black the entire time.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanjimaster:
Another bricked streak

since you used streakflash that gives you all base drivers for 2.2 so you have to use a stock 2.1 recovery or clockwork to get android back.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
did you read the rest of the thread? the screen is broken, i've reflashed everything through fastboot.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rokkywoof:
Check your internal screen cables?

I just got a used Streak 5 off eBay, and it would light with the Dell logo, but no touchscreen ability (seller replaced broken screen, but it would not work right). I could see the options for the recovery/startup stuff, and could use the buttons for selections/actions, but anything involving touch did not work. I took it apart several times to fiddle with the cables several times, but it took very carefully reseating them all the way in, and flipping down the cable clamp on the socket for the one that needed that (then putting its rubber cushion on top to hold it down it seems).

My point is, reseat those 3 screen cables in the connection sockets fully, and carefully - might yield "magic".

The other issue I had with the unit was that it took me a few tries at looking at all the closeup details in tear-down pix (on Pocketables I think) to finally realize that the (really) internal microSD (not visible till the back cover is removed to expose that and the screen cables) for /data and /cache (think those are the dirs on that card) was missing. The seller stated cardS not included, and i missed that trailing "s" at first. Several attempts at factory restore went nowhere until I figured out that was missing, and put a new card in there - more "magic"! DUHHHH :o

Hi every one ... when i was passing by intersting Topics here I found a very good one .. that's it "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043708" it's about a Froyo based ROM which has a very special design and I like it so much ... so I'm wondering here if any of developpers can make the same ROM but based on GingerBread .. any way thx for all :)

[HTC Desire S] masterl1983:
Hi all. Not sure how to call those 4 buttons which each android phone has. But does somebody know how to turn off the vibration ?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I assume that you mean the hardware buttons. From left to right at the bottom of the device

HOME button, Menu/Options button, Back button and Search button

To turn off vibrate

Settings->Sound Settings->General->vibrate = OFF

Settings->Sound Settings->Feedback->vibrate feedback = OFF
[HTC Desire S] masterl1983:
Thanks. I knew I saw this option somewhere but could not remember.

Btw. The buttons are called softkeys :-)
[HTC Desire S] Raynjone:
Settings--sound & notification--other sounds-- uncheck vibrate on touch.

It still works under text messaging, Gmail, and everywhere else (I have it all enabled in settings), just not in samsungs native email app. I've tried using different keyboards, but nothing resolves the issue.

i noticed that the stock browser's ua string is old, using mozilla 4, is there any workaround to change that
[LG Optimus 2x] aksolanki:
Hi ehmjay, why not simply use a better browser such as Miren available for free from the marketplace? This browser let's you choose the UA from a list. In my humble opinion it is the best browser, for simplicity functionality and speed.

[LG Optimus 2x] ehmjay:
i just thought that stock browser with updated uastring would be faster than 3rd party ones

Hi, the stock browser isn't the fastest. And anyway changing the UA string of the stock browser will not change the performance of the browser. Try Miren it is very fast & very free.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LonghornNTX:
I know this was a big topic of discussion regarding the Intl Version. My wifi range is weak on both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz. I have an Apple Airport extreme which broadcasts both channels simultaneously so I have tried both networks.

My (now my wife's) iPhone 4 gets 75% signal nearly 45 feet away on 2.4 ghz while my Galaxy S2 has 25% or 1 bar.

I have used wifi analyzer to hop on the channel with the least interference so it's definitely not the router.

My iPad2 on 5ghz network has all the bars at the same range while Galaxy S2 remains 1 bar on 5ghz.

Is this pretty standard wifi performance for this device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HTC Chris:
I've noticed this as well. MY iPhone had a better wiring signal. Will a new radio fix this maybe? I remember having the same issues on my HTC Fuze...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Drew489:
Odd, my friend brought over his iPhone4 a few days ago. We placed both phones on the counter next to each other and ran a speed test. My SG2 was over 10mbps on WiFi.... his was under 5.

I didn't test distance though...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:
You can't rely on a software-indicated signal bar.

Connect both phones, and slowly walk away from the router until the signal in each drops. That will give you a better idea of real range for each.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MakAttak:
Very true.. I stop short of saying the iPhone is 'lying' to you, but they have notoriously been very loose with their reporting of 'strength'. I have done wave form analysis for over 20 years as a ham radio operator, and, as a wireless network fanatic building wireless links at 1/4 mile for very remote areas of a state park. I had both the 3g and the 4 and both were lots of bars, but dropped very quickly when walking away. I do like the idea of the wi-fi analyzer app, but even it has a delay built in that might make it a little misleading.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayrek:
I got my TF yesterday, I rooted today, and everything has been working marvelously.

That is, until I got ambitious. This is the fifth android device I've installed a custom ROM to, so I figured it would be smooth sailing. I did a nandroid backup in CWM, and then installed the newest version of Prime, which then refused to boot. Ever the optimist, I restore my backup. Which also won't boot. Then I get frustrated. Moving on, I try out Revolver, which then boots just fine. I download Revolver Parts, and it tells me there is an update (I installed 3.5.2), which I confirm for install. The tablet reboots, and never makes it into CWM..

Every time it boots, I get to the initial screen, that says Eee PC, Asus, and NVidia. after two or three seconds, it goes black, and starts again. If I tell it to enter recovery, it reboots and never gets to CWM. The only way I found to get it to boot is to hold volume down, and then NOT hit volume up to enter recovery, and cold boot android from there.

The tablet is still functioning, but without being able to get into recovery, I'm feeling paranoid about something happening that would need recovery to... recover from.

I wasn't able to find any answers after looking for most of the day; I thought perhaps NVflash would help (I can get into USB mode by holding volume up), but the download link isn't working. Does anyone have any suggestions, or have heard of anything like this before? Any answers at all would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

yea, this happen somtime, not sure why, especially with prime for me. use nvflash and push revolver 3.5.2 with cwm, busybox, and su. then make a nand and try and restore it.

you could always try holding low vol + pwr for 6 secs then let go of owr but still hold low vol untill promt tells you to hit high vol to load cwm. that should work as well....
