[General Questions and Answers] anaki11:
My father in law bought a new phone SGS on O2 and I offered to unlock it as I have unlocked my husbands last week (he's was on O2 as well but in 2.1 or 2.2.1 version I think-froyo?)

Before I continue may I say I know you guys out there know so much more than me and I really need your help. I really tried to help unlocking this phone and for hours I searched and read things like reboot, download mode, recovery mode, flashing, JKV and so many other words and letter that I could not understand. Very few I understood in the end but may have messed up badly (?).

Please, I need help and please treat me as if I were your mum or even grandma. Step by step in simple normal English please.

My father in law's version is 2.3.3

I tried unlocking it the way I unlocked my husband's but didn't work after looking for hours I thought that the best way to do it would be to downgrade from 2.3.3 (gingerbread (?)) to 2.2.1 (froyo (?)) and then unlock it.

I found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089989

and tried to follow it.

I downloaded EZRom and EZboot-Froyo-1.0.tar.md5 from the same post.

I followed:

•Download the right version from section above

•Reboot your phone into Download mode

•Connect your phone to computer

•Run EZOdin

•Select EZboot-Froyo-1.0.tar.md5 or EZboot-GingerBread-1.0.tar.md5as a PDA file in EZOdin

•Check the "Phone Bootloader Update" checkbox

•Click Start

I waited for the phone to turn off and feel the little vibration but didn't. Instead it just froze at the first screen when you turn on the phone. The black background with white letters: Samsung Galaxy...

I waited and waited and as nothing was happening I then I took the battery out. Put it back in and tried turning it on. I wouldn't it would just stop and that same screen, the black and white one.

I reread

•Wait until phone reboots and make it reboot into Recovery

SO then I remembered in the many threads I read about the recovery mode so 3 clicked vol up + button at them bottom and turn on bottom.

It gives me a few options. When I click on reboot all it does is show me the black and white screen again and nothing else. ah!!!

I took the battery off and put it back on may times, also selected the fatory reset option and tried different buttons but nothing. Please help me.

I'm happy to phone any of you guys to help me and guide me even if it's just to put the phone back to what it was before, turning on normally, etc. (I can't even turn it on!) I'm feeling really sad and a bit stressed as these days are supposed to be a nice time to spend with my little ones and family.

Anyway, please ask me anything.

Thank you so much in advance. I really hope I didn't do anything wrong and I'm just stuck because I'm ignorant in this matter. Thank you

Well, I have no skill in this area. But I wish you good luck, and this post is acting as a bump! Double goal! ;)

After a little rethinking: (I don't have a SGS and never touched one) You can try re-stocking the phone. Not sure how you do that. I'll check. ;)

[General Questions and Answers] moses992:
Im somewhat of a rookie user too but I do know this, If you can still go into recovery/download mode (using the 3 button combo) then you havent bricked the phone and you can fix it! so dont stress too much :) .

EDIT: Im guessing you can download a stock ROM and flash it via odin.

I don't know how to re stock it.

Sorry to seem so dumb.

Can anyone help me step by step? If at all possible could I phone someone to help me with this? Send me phone number via private message

Thank you sooo much.
[General Questions and Answers] Griffrez:
Well, no problem, I guess. I don't think it needs to come to voice support, to be honest. I think text is enough for the issue in matter. I'll look a bit into this, I'll have to go soon from my computer. I'm sorry if I can't be of any greater help. :(
[General Questions and Answers] anaki11:
Your post helped me not to stress too much.

I'd like to download a stock rom and flash it but I don't know how to.

Here's where I am. I found a list of firmware. This is the last one on Samfirmware.com.

Europe Samsung I9000 Firmwares.

I9000XXJVS ##

512.PIT

2.3.5

2011 September 8

CSC = I9000OXAJVS

DOWNLOAD

Things I need: (I think)

-Download a firmware (should I use the lastest one?) or 2.2 or 2.3.3? . Is there one better than the other? or is it my choice? How can I choose the best one for me?

-Odin. I have OdinMultiDownloader v4.03 in my desktop. Is that the best thing to use or should I use Ezodin. I don't know what the difference is.

-(Do I need to download or do anything else?)

Things I should do:

-Put phone in download mode

-Plug it to the laptop

-Open Odin (or Exodin?)

-click PDA. Choose the fie I downloaded-firmware.

(-after this I don't know what else I should do or tick or untick)

Am I in the right track or completely off it?

Thank you again to anyone taking the time to read this.
[General Questions and Answers] Griffrez:
In my thoughts, I believe that should be what you need. You can try, if that doesn't solve the issue, it's because you need something else as well.

And the think you should make the file a PDA file, I believe. Don't take my answer too direct. I'm almost unknown with Samsung devices on that matter, but I can say a couple of things, like, that, I'm pretty sure it is on PDA files.

And no problem, always pleasing to help someone in trouble. I was/am a rookie too ;) Ignore the Senior Member thingie. :P Still a noob in pretty much everything. :D And don't panic, no need for that. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] anaki11:
Thank you. I should try that tonight unless someone stops me before to tell me I'm about to make another mistake.
[General Questions and Answers] Griffrez:
Haha. I doubt it. 99,99% of actions are reversible, really. And I have severe doubts that this is one of the remaining 0,01%.

Well, I wish you good luck. If you ever need any more help, you can post here. I'll look into here time to time. :)

BTW. Just wait a second. You know that link you give on the first post? There's also a Gingerbread file. You can *try* flashing that one, to see if it reverses the problem. Sounds legit to me.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bandin03:
This has been driving me crazy lately. It's most noticeable if I'm watching any kind of video or tethering with PDAnet. I'll be browsing or watching videos then suddenly the data just stops, but it still shows me connected to 4G with 4 bars of signal. The only way I can get the data back is cycling airplane mode.

Has this happened to anyone else and is there any way I can fix it? I'm running Humble 1.62 with EP1W radios and using PDAnet 3.0 to tether.
[Verizon Droid Charge] IN8skillz:
Yes and No!
[Verizon Droid Charge] orateam:
i'm running gummy 2.1. 1.9RC up until yesterday. I've noticed for the past month that this has been happening. Talked to Verizon, they ask me to confirm that settings were well, set. reboot and watched it happen again. they confirmed that its an existing problem and they acknowledge it with all samsung products. they said they can do nothing about it as long as their is a known fix (reboot system or shut down data and start it up). They did say a new update is coming out very shortly which specifically fixes this from samsung.
[Verizon Droid Charge] IN8skillz:
Ill try to let you down easily. Thats a bunch of BULLISH! I called verizon and got the same line. Also those aren't known fixes. They are called work arounds.

I called samsung mobile US and was told they arnt aware of any issues with the samsung charge. They also took down my device/contact info and said they would be in touch! The only software update we MIGHT see soon is GB. As we all know, the issues are still present in the leaked GB build.

As a former fascinate owner I went thru this merry go round before. Verizon blames Samsung, Samsung says there is no issue. Verizon finally admits it and offers an upgrade. Thats the pattern that will play out here.

Just so everyone knows VZW is still replacing Fascinate s with Droid charges. The issues still exist!
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
Yep, this happens to me all the time. Interestingly, my data dropouts are always this way (4G icon still showing), not the usual way where people drop down to 3G/1X or fail to show the 4G icon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Only happens when I'm streaming Pandora.

[Verizon Droid Charge] ForeverSupra:
If you guys are tethering this WILL happen. It happens to me if I download a huge file or stream HD videos. I have to restart the phone and then it works again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] teardropcity:
There are multiple data connectivity issues with the Droid Charge. I have spoken to many different techs at Verizon, some of them claim it is a known issue and that they are aware and a software update is "coming soon" I have had techs tell me it was announced on 10/19, i have also had techs tell me early november. However I had more techs, including several at Samsung, tell there is no known issue, and no upcoming software fix. Please see this other thread at XDA, and all the issues that people are having. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1309271

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Geezer Squid:
Data Loss and Unthrottled

I did the .893/Th3ory V2.0 thing as soon as it was all available. I was one of the first to report that my data issues were greatly improved. Living in the country I could only test it with the wifi to 3G hand off and it was working great and reconnecting to 3G really quickly if not instantaneously. Well, I went to town today and checked the 3G to 4G hand off and it was terrible. I had to do the Airplane mode thing twice before I got 3G back!! I was so disappointed. And then tonight I did a nandroid backup and after rebooting I went to Root Explorer to rename it so I would know exactly what it represented. I was in the process of typing the name and adding that it was unthrottled and that's when it hit me. The only difference from when the data hand off was working to when it wasn't working was UNTHROTTLED. I had run the script. I immediately went to the script and ran the restore and rebooted. And by the way, that reboot took forever. I really thought I was caught in a loop. But after it rebooted, the immediate hand off from wifi to 3G was back!!! I know this is only one data point, but it working right now for me (again!!)!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Go back into cheesecake and snag the 5.6.893 update. GREATLY improves radio. Haven't had a SINGLE drop since running it, plus I usually have full bars.

Of course, the standard procedure still exists (stock, bloated, etc) and I'm not responsible if you mess anything up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JillyBohnson:
I've yet to receive any update, but I've been losing data it seems almost daily. It sucks having to power down then restart, I always lose apps & have to reinstall them.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Geezer Squid:
Move those apps from the Media Area back to the phone app storage area and they will stop disappearing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_reyna_16:
First of all, I have a Samsung Epic 4G Touch running on Starburst Rom...

If I disable an app that runs in the background since when I boot the phone up, lets say market or ap mobile, what actually happens? I mean, does it really close the app? The reason I ask is because I was using Optimize Toolbox (great app) until they changed the language to chinese, and that would disable some startup apps and save battery life. I noticed that after not using the program I was getting horrible bat life compared to when I had it, so i downloaded a couple of alternatives to disable startup apps and wipe cache... So, will disableing apps that run in the background also help me get greater batterylife? or will they get closed and automatically start up while the phone is running?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Disabling the apps from launching at startup will save battery life (eventually) since they will not run automatically (they won't start at all until you start them manually) and use up memory. This can have a bad effect since some of these processes are necessary for the system to run correctly, and if you stop them, the system will become unstable and crash.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_reyna_16:
im not trying to disable the type that the system comes with, im trying to disable the ones that are installed by me... also, if i disable them in startup, will they come back on their own or until i try and use them?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Some will (especially the ones with many background processes), and some won't.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_reyna_16:
thanks, do you or anybody else happen to know if i disable for example DSP manager on startup, will it have problems? i have some settings enabled there
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Yes, it will have problems. Whatever settings you have set in it won't be applied until you manually start it. Also, I would not recommend stopping it from starting. It is not recommended to not allow that app to start automatically (since it deals with the system's audio settings).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
You can try "autostart" to disable the app from auto starting its self every boot.

Oh u rock dude...! Surerb rom buddy. I have question. I want to try ur rom. But also I want to keep my current stock kpm rom for a backup (via CWM). Means suppose today I applied ur rom & after some day suppose I want to go to my old stock kpm rom then can I switch like this? Does ext4 creat any problem because my current stock rom is not converted to ext4.

Also where u got aosp apps? Can u give me the link of that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
I guess I will be the 1st one to flash this custom rom, Waiting right now for your uploading to complete.

@vishal24387 check PM ,

I was on froyo xxkb3 which I successfully updated to xxkpe it gave me option to choose english.

after that I updated to xxkpm but the default language is set to russian (some european) language & it did not gave me option hence I cant use the phone nor can select the English language.

There must be some way out to get to english or set my location as India, can some one post screenshot of setting screen where I can change this location as reading russian is not possible for me.

So I cant install custom rom until I set it to english.
