[Focus General] epostsyed:
My Samsung focus i917R keeps restarting

Hello everyone,

Please be patient and bear with me while I try to tell you my story.

Background:

I bought the Samsung Focus i917R in September 2011, it had NoDo OS version that time. I read a lot about the microSD card issue and I really needed more than 8GB space on my phone. I had options to go with other HTC phone and not ever deal with Samsung ever but at that time Samsung Focus seem to be the best Windows Phone in the market to me (Amoled screen). I did a lot of research for a compatible microSD card and found that someone broke open an HTC (I believe it was HTC, don’t remember 100%) phone and found that it is using Sandisk class 4 memory card. So, I went with a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 memory card. My phone didn’t really give me any problem. I used up almost 17GB out of 22GB total memory.

Story

Then I updated my phone to Mango in end of Oct. I don’t remember if I started to have restart issue right after Mango update, but I noticed if I use my phone for a long time, like playing games or use the internet or use IM+ Pro or use Slacker Radio, it gets warm and then restarts. At that time I thought may be because I am using microSD card.

So, in Dec I formatted my phone and installed the newer Sandisk Mobile 8GB Class 4, bought it from futureshop.ca. I noticed I still have the same issue. This is very disappointing. I am only using 3GB space out of 15GB. So, I removed the microSD card and formatted the phone again. Now I have only 8GB and no microSD card. I still have the same issue. I will give you guys some examples of the issue.

Issue example:

If I run the Slacker Radio for over 10 min or so, the phone will get warm and it will restart.

Use the native Microsoft bing map app for a while and the phone feels warm and it will restart. I don’t think the phone gets hot or anything. This much heat for a mobile device should be acceptable. I was using iPhone 3G before I bought the Samsung and I don’t think the Samsung gets any hotter.

Let me know if any of you ran into similar issue. I don't know what to do. I bought the phone from a guy (he bought it from Rogers) and don't have the papers, not sure if it is still under warranty. The phone packaging was sealed though, it was brand new. Somewhat disappointed in Samsung.

I think I pretty much gave up on Samsung. I like the OS and I love the Zune pass. I guess that's the only reason I am sticking to Windows Phone.

I want to root my flyer from 2.3.4 to 3.2

And after I did "adb push hboot.nb0",

there was a paragraph

dd: writing '/dev/block/mmcblk0p18': No space left on device

2049+0 records in

2048+0 records out

1048576 bytes (1.0MB) copied, 0.137787 seconds, 7.3MB/s

After that, I typed in "adb reboot bootloader"

Now it could not reboot and the LED light does not light even if connected the charger.

I guess hboot has already broken down. Did anyone has solutions ?

Btw, I tried all the combinations of bottoms to turn on Flyer. but it didn't work.

Thanks for your reading and attention.

The problem started when after I flashed the recovery with Odin. When I booted into the recovery and tried to install the superuser zip file I keep getting this message: "E:cant copy META-INF/google/android/update-binary". I get this message when I try to flash a Rom: "E:Can't open /sdcard/update-unamed-1.3.1-full.zip". I've been trying to flash the CM7 nightlies and the "Unamed" Rom. Any help with this will be much appreciated.

Also, I ended up having to install superuser via SuperOneClick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] homescrub:
Honestly, I stopped trying after the phone kept confusing me with SD Card, External Card, and Internal Card/External SD Card BS it was giving me.

I just left my phone rooted, lol.

Sometimes, this tends to happen if you rooted your phone with an anti-virus software running on your PC which can hinder the rooting process. (always the case with my HTC Inspire 4G). So turning it off could allow you to re-download Odin, and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files.

Once you get it re-rooted, get into CWM, do a backup, and Clear your Cache, Data and reinstall the ROM from your Internal Card or External Card (which ever you used to place the ROM in).

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
CWM and root are not even related....

root is root access to your OS /system and its functions. it has nothing to do with RECOVERY or anything outside of a RUNNING OS. i wish everyone would understand that.

as long as CWM is there, AND WORKING PROPERLY, rooting has nothing to do with it. you can flash a new rom from bone stock OS, as long as you have the CWM kernel.

@OP, you have these files (roms) located on the INTERNAL SD right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
I think that's why @homescrub said:

"and run the program again to root it again so it can install the proper files."

Proper files being cwm. As of yet I don't know of a way to install cwm without root on this phone. I know the captivate previously allowed an update to be flashed using stock recovery to get cwm.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
how do you flash CWM?

through ODIN

that does NOT require root. you dont flash it via ROM manager....so whats the need for root to add CWM?

and what is this 'proper files' crap? you either have CWM or you dont, its not half-assed

Are you trying to install the bootstrap recovery? The download link is in the sticky under the development section
[Motorola Droid X2] fdrennon:
I'm not sure. I'm using ROM manager Pro and using the first item to try to install ClockWorkMod. Is that what you're talking about. I'm new to this and trying to learn the terminology.
[Motorola Droid X2] dodge_408:
Here is our recovery since ROM manager does not work for us

You must be plugged into the wall charger for the recovery to work

Also assuming your already rooted if not then which version of android are you running found under about phone?

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
^ 100% correct

We don't have "official" CWM support

But we do have BSR that works as we need...some things wont work..work is being done to get a full function CWM.

Remember...u will need to be plugged into wall with a charger(usb>computer charge will NOT work)

The BSR hijacks our charge only mode when powered off and.plugged in.

Its the ONLY one we have...gets the job done as far as im concerned for now.

Enjoy!

[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
I'm about to use a Moto Milestone 1 charger for OB but I'm afraid that it may harm the phone. Both phones are listed with MicroUSB 2. Any tips?

thanks
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
Don't worry.. it will work Ok, but OB charger has 1000ma, if you use another charger that has let's say 500ma (like USB) it will take 3 hours to charge the phone instead of the regular 45 minutes!

I use a samsung cable directly from USB, the car USB port, a samsung 5530 charger, a LG optimus one charger, and they all worked, with various degrees of effectiveness!

The most useful one is the car's USB port that, even if it cannot keep up with the GPS (it charges slower than the battery drains), it can keep the phone running with 10% loss every hour with screen activated and GPS at the same time! The problem is that I hate radio and don't use CD's that much, and usually end up with the phone depleted before I reach the destination!
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Thanks man! Ok I'll check that "ma" thing. BTW is it written on the battery or charger?
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
Both places; battery specify working and standby V and mA, charger specify the V and mA provider

So you can use almost every different charger if the specs are the same, but be aware of this: don't use a charger with less mA since it can burn the charger
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
Ma - miliamps.

How many milliamps in 1 watt/volt? The answer is 1000.

I assume you are converting between milliampere and watt/volt.

I never had a burnt charger by the way, that would be very strange considering that the phone is accepting 500ma from the start (that is the USB output on any PC), and I even saw chargers with a power of 2W (SUPER FAST CHARGERS). The Motorola chargers are 850 ma usually, so it should work quite good!
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
Indeed, it's very strange to have a burnt charger and we don't need to go into an electrical discussion but that happens because of 2 possible things, very high-peak of voltage or prolonged use of under-voltage
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Thanks. Printed on my Moto charger is 850mA so I'll rather use it for my OB next time.

BTW, currently I'm using a replacement charger for my OB with a name "super charger" printed "4.5v - 9.5v 800ma"

It's charging at normal duration in fact I'm using it for days. The only problem is that my OB touchscreen freaks out if I use it while that charger is connected. It's obvious when I run the multitouch testing app because touch points run all over the place. Touchscreen goes back to normal if I disconnect the charger. I tested that "super charger" to my milestone and the same abnormal thing happens to the screen. What causes it?
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
Probably it's something to do with high voltage... I'd avoid using it if something like that happens to my phone.. :)

Usually the USB style chargers are pretty standard... the speed with which they work are strongly related to the power (Amperes) they provide, the voltage "should" be pretty standard!
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Like chargers with detachable MicroUSB cable?
[LG Optimus Black] s0ulreaver:
Battery experts say to try and use a charger that's rated half the power of the battery.

So for a 1500 mAh battery, a charger of 850 mAh should be a better option than a 1000 mAh one.

Yes, the 1000 mAh charger would charge the battery faster than the 850 mAh one but it will decrease the lifetime of the battery faster.
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Hello, I don't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here.

The charger that came with my OB seems to be damaged. It was working properly until last last night. My phone detects the charger but it won't charge. Got powermax turned on and it automatically turned off when I connected the charger, so I know my charger does have issues.

Tried banging the charger last night, connected it to phone and started charging, woke up to see that it stopped charging 2 hours ago. It didn't even fully charge my phone. Now I'm charging it with my pc via the USB cable. I noticed that the touch screen goes wild when I use it while connected with the USB.

Now, I'm planning to buy a Galaxy S2 charger. Is it safe to use? S2 and OB has almost the same battery capacity so I'm considering it. Any other suggestions? OB ain't popular here in the Philippines so finding accessories is a real pain in the a**.

Fitted a Corby 2 charger and it seems like they use Mini-usb too. Haven't tried charging with it though.
[LG Optimus Black] roltzy:
My original charger also died... Now I use the one that came with my bluetooth headset:D

So I guess using the OB charger on other stuff is okay too. USB is always ~5v.

You need to test the charger with something else to be sure, though.

I had the same touchscreen freaking out problem with my old LG KS20, whenever I charged it. Like it was shorted or something. So it maybe a problem with the phone itself.
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
So, you agree that I use a Galaxy S2 charger? I think it would be fine since my friend with an S2 used my charger to charge his phone and it went well. I'll ask him to buy me one tomorrow. Tnx for reply
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
Ok kabayan, don't forget to share here the result after u try gs2 charger. I too am looking for safe alternative to my milestone charger.
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
Standard port - standard voltage

Don't even bother, if it has a micro USB it should be fallowing the same standard as USB for charging (5V)...

Of course test the charger for any adverse side effects like screen flickering or short battery life, and don't use it if something like that occurs, but because of the standardized voltage and the fact that usually phone chargers have between 500 - 1000 mA, 99% of chargers work...

I still haven't found any incompatible charger for my phone and I don't even buy a phone if it has a non standard Charging/Data Port... it's just stupid... so no Iphone for me!
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Hello guys! I'm here for an update. For the past week I've been using a Corby 2 charger. And guess what, it works just fine! only downside is it won't charge it up to 100% (usually gets to 99% upon unplugging). And it charges the phone a little slower than the original charger. I always let the phone overcharge overnight to have 100% battery.

[Atrix 4G General] steevquinn:
I was using about 70-90 Gb data a month for the past few months, mostly because of tethering. I recieved the first warning, and then yesterday the final notice stating i WOULD be changed to 45$ 4Gb tethering plan next bill. Well i spent hours and hours calling back different times with different point. most being legality, and privacy issues. Nothing worked, UNTIL i got a very nice man who was describing tethering to me and how watching netflix on ur phone then attaching hdmi is still condisdered tethering. I told him i have CM7 and that it was a non-stock os, and that all i have been doing is watching netflix or hulu on my tv via the hdmi port and mirroring. he extended my cut off date to right after the conversation, so that as long as i did not tether after that (connect my phone to my tv, lamo!) i would no longer be switched. he gave me a third chance and i am very thankfull. if you do not get the response u want to hear, try, try again..generally with a different rep, but they HAVE HAVE HAVE to be in the tethering watch dept. i believe he said its called "EOS" dept. I also filled a complaint with the better business bureau, but im positive just a bluff would do the trick.

just remember, make sure you are speaking to the right department before you get all down and dirty into why you believe this is unjust, and use the TV excuse and dont ever tether again unless u wanna loose to AT&T

This ****s real, one you get your first notice, be smart, unlike me and stop effing tethering...unless u r on a tiered data plan....then tether away amigo
