[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chi_visor:
I was worried that I would have to flash a new ROM. Not that i mind doing it but ive not backed up anything!! I'd atleast like to see my contacts somewhere... let me know if that's possible...

So there's no other way to come out of this deadlock??

Im on Froyo... If its possible to roll back to stock Froyo it'll be great... If not i'll go for GB... Ive nothing against GB but i'd like to be sure everything works the way it was b4...

Its great to know you have and understanding of my problem... thanks mate...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If your contacts were set to sync with Google or your carrier, then they will sync back to your phone after you flash. Given you were on Froyo, you can grab one of the Froyo ROMs from the bible (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117554). Those will likely be rooted, deodexed, or something along those lines. If you want pure stock, you can grab that from samfirmware.com. You'll have to register to navigate to the firmware, though. I'd post a link but it wouldn't work right. Just go to the 'mobile' link and look for the SGH-T959V stuff. Either way, KD1 was the latest Froyo out there from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chi_visor:
Yup... I'll check on samfirmware.com..

sad abt contacts cuz dint sync the latest ones with google...

anyway i'll try the other method...

thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Sorry man. Best of luck to you. Let me know if you get it fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chi_visor:
hi stephen_w,

I downloaded the T959VUVKD1 firmware from samfirmware.com....

I used odin to flash it...

after switchin on the phone in download mode... i flashed the firmware by browsing the file in PDA and leaving PIT, BOOTLOADER, Phone and CSC blank...

the process started and after cache.fs... below it was message:Complete(Write) operation failed.... it stopped nd showed fail in red...

i held the power key for a long time but then it started to show a phone linked to the computer with a yellow exclamation sign...

what does this mean?? im not able to boot into either recovery or download mode now...

please help...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
ODIN will still see it when it looks that way, so don't fret! I had similar issues before but mine was a faulty download. Try using this one. It's not 100% stock as it's been deodexed, but it should work:

http://www.multiupload.com/7L5YDG8X8V
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chi_visor:
Ya im downloading tat one... Odin is detecting nd working... so i guess re-flashing should do the trick...

Jus to confirm I should leave fields other than PDA blank rite?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Yes, PDA only & let ODIN decide what should be checked.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chi_visor:
Up and running jus like b4...

Thanks bro...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
No worries; glad you're working again!

Flash is a dying breed anyways. Considering the fact that they have canceled development altogether for mobile devices I don't we will ever see an official ICS flash app.

i don't understand what's going to happen to movies in my local news site or reviews on engadget or the best dunks of the week on espn? those aren't disappearing overnight so i think we still need flash at least for a little bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ExploreMN:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] johnchad14:
It's already been responded to that flash support will be added for ICS. I'd guess before the first transformer has ICS probably...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Is it just me, or has the tendency for people to erupt in anger and/or frustration with the first rumor become more prevalent? Seems like people don't have even 5 minutes worth of patience to find out the real story.

I mean, seriously: did anyone really think Google (or Adobe) would let ICS go out the door without Flash support? That they'd drop it JUST LIKE THAT? Come on, get real folks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
I regularly lurk over in apple forums and I don't recall ever seeing the kind of kneejerk reaction there that I see here. After all, apple is perfect. Even if someone starts a rumor that says apple plans to kill 30 million puppies in celebration of the 30 million ipads sold, people over there would still be like "ya, those puppies deserve it!"

Just an observation.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
True enough, but that's an entirely DIFFERENT phenomenon...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
Yeah, but that's not so good if they keep developing for websites, that'll mean we can't use those sites.

Hey guys I was wondering if any of you know of an app that could increase the volume when your listening to music with your headphones. Seems by default android phones have a lower audio output, I dont understand why. For the record iPhones don't seem to suffer from this.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Not sure about an app but I can tell you try a different set of headphones. I had the same issue than I went and got new headphones and they are quite a bit louder than the generic skull candies I was using by a lot actually.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rawb123456:
Equalizer from the Market works well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] curse76:
I actually have a pair of good buds. The monster "Miles Davis" trumpet headphones to be exact, but even with that it still sounds low in comparison.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juicytuna:
I've had the Galaxy Nexus for a little over a day now and overall I am very impressed both with the hardware and the improvements made to Android.

The main issue I'm having is with the browser. It scores really high in all the javascript benchmarks and rightware browsermark (much higher than my GS2) but it feels no where near as smooth. I have them both side by side here, and on certain sites like theverge.com and ironically android.com the difference is really noticeable. Scrolling on the Nexus browser has that 'silk dragged over splintered wood' effect where it seems to momentarily snag going over heavy sections of the site. Don't get me wrong, its still smoother than the majority of phones out there but the gs2 I think had the browser scrolling absolutely nailed.

How is this explained? Is GPU acceleration actually enabled? I'd love to hear the opinions of other owners.

//
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Well, welcome to 2011, the year where computer processing power has started to play a role on website performance. HTML5 and JavaScript heavy sites simply depend on processing power and memory these days in ways websites of yesterday did not.

I have a desktop computer that can run many games in high graphics, like Starcraft 2 and Dragon Age 2 and so on, but The Verge website is really slow to load and scroll on my computer. It simply is not a well-done website technically.

Android.com website however depends heavily on high-end HTML5 technologies and is a very high-resolution website that seemingly lags a little on my computer.

I am not surprised at all that handheld devices would have some problems with those two sites.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
I would say there are two reasons for this, even though ics is hardware accelerated.

1. Gn screen is higher resolution than the sgs2

2. The gn has an older gpu than the sgs2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juicytuna:
That could well be, but i didnt think gpu ui acceleration was all that taxing.

On the plus side, there is no more checkerboard effect! Now when the browser is not keeping up you get the background colour of the webpage instead. How the awful checkerboard effect became a standard in the first place ill never know.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txheat:
how do i find out what file extension my phone is currently running? (rfs/ext)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillyBob3:
Depends on your rom. If you are stock, then its rfs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Stock is RFS

All other custom roms will say what filesystem they are in their respective thread. Same for whether they are odexed or deodexed. (Stock is odexed)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txheat:
no other way to lookup what it use? cause i use the CleanGB installed ver.10 and now he post 2 kinds of extension. i dont know which one i used....:confused:

which one is better?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
EXT 4 is way better
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBTx:
Go into Terminal Emulator or adb shell and type "mount" without the quotes, and look about halfway down for "/dev/block/stl9 on /system type" it will say either ext4 or rfs next to it. For example, mine says:

/dev/block/stl9 on /system type ext4

Meaning that my file system is ext4.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Eh ext4 is faster and works smoother but not as secure as rfs from what I hear not experience.

Sent from my Legendary Samurai 4G
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txheat:
thanks... found out that it is running rfs extension.

is it a good idea to flash ext4 over rfs? would i run into any problems? i forgot to backup when i switch over.

nevermind, somehow when i got to the b14 it wipe everything and mess up 3d and drop performance...back to stock lol

I know it's a bit early for anyone to answer, but I'm curious how this is in battery compared to Phiremod (non-fusion).

SoS clockWork Recovery failing, cant install ROM

greetings folks..

I was using cm7 couple of days ago, then i thought of trying something new, i think i initially wanted to try TW-4 roms. I installed back to Eugene JK2 froyo rooted using odin. The Rom got installed fine, ClockWork Recovery Manager also installed fine. Selected Vibrant MTD and 2.x mod (even not thou' supported, as suggest at CM7 thread).

whenever i reboot into ClockWork Recovery i get the update.zip installation aborted "cant find /sdcard/update.zip" . And i get the standard recovery with "re-install packages" (without install zip from sd option).

I have browsed so many thread, can somebody please, post me a link for -one-click-odin-stock. The reason i need one-click-install is because of the Master Clear. I want wipe my phone totally clean. I have captivate one-click for my brother's phone, it works great on his. Hard reset from recovery didnot clean old stored files on my phone.

And also guide me why am i getting "cant find /sdcard/update.zip"

1. I have update.zip at /

2. at /sd/

and also at

3. /sdcard/

just to be safe.

:( lost.
