Thing is: if I buy the phone it's gonna be from another carrier, which I cannot use. I don't want to be stuck with an unusable 135€ phone... :X

I'm not gonna buy it until I found a free way to unlock it. If anyone knew if the Galaxy S unlocker works in Galaxy W, I'd be more grateful than *insert lame comparison here*. No, seriously, I'd owe you a beer. :)

Bump;

Sorry to be annoying, but I really would like to know if any exploit works for unlocking Samsung Galaxy W. As a last resort, however, I'd buy a code off eBay..
[General Questions and Answers] hotlips69:
I'd like to know the same......every thread I've read with this question ends without an answer either way!

Only sites that want you to pay seem to exist to provide you with an unlock code! :confused:

I saw a thread as follows:

[ROM] SC02BOMKL1 [01.12.2011][Android 2.3.6]

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373040

With modification by SamHaLeKe, it should work for I9000 and I897. However, when I flash to I897, the baseband could not be recognized. When I try to select wireless network, I was promoted "Please insert SIM card". This tells me that the ROM does not recognize my SIM card.

My questions:

1. Is anyboy successful to install this ROM to I9000 or I897?

2. How to make the ROM recognize SIM card?

Hi,

I was making a lg like ui for my phone, and so i thought some people on this part of the forum might want my bootanimation.

So here it is

install my using root explorer and replacing bootanimation.zip in system/media
[LG Optimus 2x] Justray:
Bootanimation... more like bootstillimage :p

Here's a review:

plus I got an idea, make the android pop then hide from every corner, that could look really nice and "stockish" like.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heysoos:
Why not?

I actually came to the Q&A section with a question along these same lines...is there a reason, other than developer preference, for NOT creating more ODIN flashable ROMs? I don't screw up flashing through recovery like the OP ;) but I can say that I have never had to deal with one-off bugs, leftovers from previous ROMs that didn't get wiped (I'm lately a subscriber to the 'wipe three times' even after the paper is clean method), or ROM "settling," etc. I have a little more confidence in the process, I'm seldom so in need of a ROM flash that I am not near a computer...anyway, enough about me.

I am willing, if any developers want to take the time to teach me what is required to accomplish it, to start a project to convert as many of the flashable .zip ROMs as possible into tar files that can be flashed via ODIN.

There. Volunteered meself.

Once I have my phone configured the way I like it I usually make one as a backup.

edit: the listed partition are for Samsung based roms not CM7or Miui.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Stainedglove:
I usually wipe 2 or 3 times as well.. just because I do it at work. I'm an electronics tech, and anytime we clear flash chips we do it 3 times to make sure the old stuff is gone. Stuff does stay in there!! Not sure if it applies to the chips in our devices, but it doesn't hurt to make sure you are clean.. that way you know you won't get skidmarks.

I also wish there were more odin roms.. I guess it is just too much extra trouble when these roms get updated so often.

[Omnia 7 General] timmyjan:
I bought a used phone from internet website, its worked great and it was locked on T-mobile UK. I got it unlocked from fastgsm and used my tesco sim with the phone.

The phone worked great for couple of days and on the third day it worked upto 11am (that is when i made the last call on the phone) and after that i am getting 00:00 Ended every time i press call even to voice mail.

it does not call anyone no texts either and when someone calls me it says the phone is switched off.

Steps i have taken to fix the issue:

I have swapped different sim cards.

i reset my phone through settings and diagnosis code.

I have updated the firmware to the 7740

I have installed a new unbranded UK retail firmware. its still running this firmware.

I have checked if the imei is blocked or stolen or something on a few websites nothing came up.

I have searched XDA to see if someone else has this problem and there are quite a few people here with the same problem but no solution.

I need help :confused: i have no idea what to do next

everything else on the phone works great no problems wlan connection keeps it connected and all the other features are fine its just the phone calls and text msgs which i cannot send or receive.

i have tested my sim on other phone it seems to be fine.

Please help i am not sure what to do next.

thank you and regards

[Omnia 7 General] timmyjan:
ok then xda cant help me with this problem lets see if samsung support can do something about it. i have called them and i am taking the phone to their service center.

wish me luck i will report back if there is any news for other people with similar problem.
[Omnia 7 General] njassja:
I have the same problem. Ive done almost all the steps as you have. Im beginning to think that its a hardware related problem. Maybe the sim-reader.. Well, i bought another phone but I hope to fix it anyway. I'll be back to check your progress in the matter.. gl

I can also contribute that I did the unlock via fastgsm.. (without any errors) And that may be the cause. But 1 thing is different though, I could never make any calls at all. You said that u were making calls.. I had a very long email conversation with fastgsm that ended with him not responding to me at all. But that was some time ago and I deleted the emails.. Not that I think it would help. Now I use the phone as a surfing pad (wifi/data ok) its sad really... lol

I live in NW Indiana (just outside of Chicago) and last night my service was so slow I could not even stream Spotify (with 3-bars on the 3g meter), when I tested with speedtest app I was getting +,- 100 kbps, is that what I can expect from my new carrier?

My phone is rooted with Blazer rom and shows baseband EG31 and Kernel EG30, is that ok or could I have messed up the modem? I tested at 4:40am this morning and got over 1 mbps....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mship:
I have noticed, I live in New York, a significant service downgrade in the past three months. My unfounded theory is that it has something to do with the Iphone launch, because service was great about 6 months ago. I had very few problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wynand32:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
Same here, data sucks balls big time but voice so far has had no issues.

Its the dat part that is killing it. Yet we have to pay that extra 10 bucks a month just because its a smart phone aka data usage. What a joke.

Or maybe that extra 10 bucks is to pay for data usage for Carrier IQ... LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nvrblnk:
It's not really because of the iPhone, although that plays a small part in it. Sprint has just been lazy overall in maintaining and upgrading their network while the majority of customers have switched to smart phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Odom Project:
Honestly, I think its just work being done on the network. I noticed the same thing, but 3 days ago I did a prl n profile update (I had done this several times before) n started getting much better service, including 4g. I'm not saying g this is the case for everyone. If you do jump ship, have fun with Verizon. I dealt with them for years before sprint. And if you think sprints customer service is bad. . . Also their data prices are INSANE! but, Verizon does have a better network. TO ME, being able to stream my music collection without worrying about data is more important than being able to watch a movie on 3g, but thats why we get choices :) if sprint was right for everyone, Verizon wouldn't be in business, and its the same the other way around

If I was helpful, give thanks :)

When I go within 100ft of the tower I use in my home in Toledo I get full signal strength and peek speeds of 100 kbps, sprint really needs to get on that. Then again in Cleveland I get 1mbit+.

Sprints network is really unstable right now so its probably not the best time to sign a contract with them if you use a lot of data.

....the IPhone effect maybe? My 4g has been better lately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Just keeping checking the website that was posted before. We are making a lot of updates and changes to make the network better. I have seen better improvement myself and know more are coming. The next two years are going to have a better and faster network. Remember that the USA is huge so it does take time. The other thing to do is preach to everyone to use wifi whenever they can so that there are less phones on the network until the project is completed in 2013!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:
Yup lots of variables.

each site can handle only so many people. Older sites have overall capacity issues. Thats to say some sites can handle x amount of users, and x amount of data. Some sites get user upgrades to handle more users but not data, causing a super slow down.

Then theres the issue of interference. Add in any issues your device might be having due to flashing a custom rom, kernel or modem and it all adds up to way to many possibilities.

The good news is, you verified your modem is good, not only did you get slow data speeds one test, but later it was good.

I have a similar experience with my Stock Epic Touch.

Some locations in Dallas, TX have horrible data speeds, while others are hit and miss.

One of the worse i am aware of is the are of i635 / hwy 80. Ever weekend i meet my dad for lunch at a BBQ place in that area. I test every weekend and the speeds are SOO SLOW. But once i leave the area im back to 1meg or so..

Overall i am still happy. I am just patient i guess.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroToxin:
I just flashed my gtablet over to tnt lite 4.40 so I could play pvz. I did the market fix, but not everything is there. So far I've noticed that adw launcher is the only thing missing (I haven't looked for everything). Also, when I go into an app with a white background (e.g. the gmail app), the entire status/notification bar is white and I can't see anything (e.g. the time, etc).

Is there a way to fix these 2 problems?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbay:
I see the ADW launcher in Market. I have TNT Lite 4.4 too.

Try the build.prop olympus fix for Market.

I use Launcher Pro and have the same problem with gmail. I think it

is due to background color of app being the same as foreground color

of launcher. I dont see a way in Launcher Pro of setting the font color.

Maybe Launcher Pro Plus with a different theme would do it. Some apps

like K9 mail can change the background color too. Gmail cant.

However it does not bother me, usually going to settings in the app

like gmail, gives the time, as the settings are usually dark background.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroToxin:
OK, thanks. I'll try the olympus fix. Do you know if there's a way to change the status/notification bar so that it's not transparent?

Modding your framework.rez files might work.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroToxin:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
It should be in system/framework

and its the Framework-rez.apk.

Idk if that's really what you'd need to use but you could always post up in the ROMs designated forum and ask the Dev.

Framework works for most theming at least on devices I have used.

My Kindle Fire is having a "sleep of death" problem. If I don't use it for half an hour or more, it often doesn't want to wake up. I have to hold down the power button for several seconds and then hit it a few more times before it eventually boots up (showing the boot screen). I haven't had it fail to boot entirely yet, but I always have to mash the button a bunch of times before it starts up. And it's frustrating to lose whatever I was doing if I put it down for a while.

I recently bought a new and faster Micro SD card for my Epic 4G. I tried to copy the files on my old Micro SD card over through my Windows computer; however Windows Explorer failed. I have a number of applications installed on my SD and Windows was just not happy with .gz format files, etc.

A number of back up and cloning utilities were suggested at various forums; the one that I found be the best, in terms of small footprint and ease of use, is the HDD Raw Copy tool from HDD Guru. It is free, so small and light that you can run it as a portable app, easy to use and did I mention free? :D

You can find the app on the HDD Guru website. (Forum rules prevent my including the link in this post.)

[Android General] noouch:
That's because it directly copies the partitions. You need to resize them afterwards. I used minitool partition wizard (can't post links, google it), which did the trick nicely. For moving the contents of my 2GB SD card over to a 16GB one, the procedure was pretty straightforward: write contents to an image using HDDRawCopy, use the same tool to write the image to the new card, and then resize using the partition wizard.
