[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lepapirriky:
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.

What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lepapirriky:
I have used marcusant and sleeper rom at the moment, and they usually shut downs completely with the screen, but yes I make sure the light on the kb are shut. I don't know much about journaling, I guess I have to read about it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lepapirriky:
Thanks! I didn't tried that yet even tho this has happen like 5 times and had to back up all my apps all over again. Hopefully this will solve my problem and I'll report back when this happens again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Ok. Good luck. Are you running any themes? Try not doing any themes for a bit to see if that helps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djinn23:
+1 I agree that your ext4 rom is corrupting due to bad shutdown most likely.

Like the title says... did we get shafted? Or did they change our internals for a purpose? Are we going to be running better than the other guys when ics hits our phone ? Or did we just get shafted with an inferior product.

I'm hoping the change was to sacrifice a little bit in the beginning to ensure we had a BA setup when ics came

The only reason T-Mobile went the the snapdragon is because the exynos was not compatible with their hspa + 42mbps network.

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
Our phone is just fine. It's still better than any other Android phone currently available. And ICS will run just the same on the T-Mobile version as it will on the rest. People need to stop panicking for no reason. :eek:

Moot question. Phones get outdated in mere weeks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
Haha true!

I had this same problem when I was into dsm's...I had a 1990 eclipse gsx with awd and I did a 2.4l stroker and people *****ed about reliability....when the thing would **** the bed every other day no matter what. lol

Like it's been said before, the difference between our phones performance wise is negligible. Personally, I'd rather deal with slower network speeds to reduce hardware fragmentation, but that's just me. Mobile network speeds vary way to much to truly care, and I'm always pretty close to wifi if I really need it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
the way i see it... cell phone NETWORK technology doesn't change over night

if you want good phone that will last you for the next 3+ year (think HTC HD2) this is a good one worth keeping, as other phones can't get the top speed of 42 Mbps

of course, waiting for Tmo or any other network to reach those speed in HSPDA+ it'll take years

the current fight is between LTE vs HSPDA+

HSPDA+ will win in the long run as it's the one most compatible and most deployed world wide in all countries

LTE is non compatible in different providers, cities & countries

so although LTE is very fast... (if and when you happen to find signal for it) it's not widely deployed, HSPDA+ is available everywhere, albit with inconsistent speed depending where you are, compare to LTE... at least you get signal ;)

LTE is like all or nothing

HSPDA+ might not be the fastest, but you will get service, and on good spots you can go as high as LTE

if you are into gaming... just get a Tablet, no point upgrading from phone to phone every 6 months ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] defconoi:
Our Adreno 220 GPU is faster than the Galaxy Nexus and Exynos, and our CPU is a beast also, combined with our scorpion processor and full gpu hardware acceleration our phone should be the best performing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
exynos was sooo last year. Not being compatible with hpsa+ or even LTE means its future is short. long live the t989 and skyrocket. atleast til Tmo comes out with a 720 display phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
...exactly! :D

if i continue to be employed for the next few years, i'll probably keep switching phones every 6 mth or so as usual

but if i were on a bind & tight budget, T989 is the phone i'll want to keep around for the long haul

i'm planning to save up for the next Asus Transformer (tegra) Penta Core (for games & to replace my old outdated ASUS VX5 laptop), and just keep the T989 for what i mainly need it for mobile Internet & tethering

the T989 might not beat the HD2 in the way of multi OS and long lived evolution, but i do see a very long live for T989 running Android and/or Ubuntu OS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
I want the asus transformer prime as well but after my g2x experience with nvidia....I don't think I ever want to buy another nvidia product. When it comes to open source...they are not an option. They do not release drivers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I know this is off topic but do you have pictures of the GSX? I was always into them but was told that they weren't that reliable when performance played a factor. Don't they have a head gasket blowing and spinning bearings issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericdude:
Back in the import racing days here in Houston, I watched a 90's model GSX eat up a corvette from one red light to another, time and time again...it was brutal and impressive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
The thing with the awd dsm's is that they're extremely quick from light to light since they barely spin tires and they are light. My dad's GMC Typhoon eats Corvette's and Mustang's light to light but barely beat them in a quarter mile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
This really is getting off topic but I have to contribute as well... :p

I've actually got my buddy's '95 GST sitting in my garage right now. We just installed a ported EVOIII 16G turbo, FP Race manifold, bigger FMIC, full 3" turbo-back exhaust, 1250cc injectors and Walbro 255cc fuel pump. We still need to get the DSMLink and AEM Wideband O2 sensor installed so we can tune it and get it running properly. It should be looking at 350WHP+ with this setup.

Below is the build thread if you are interested. It hasn't been updated in a while because he lives in Manhattan and the car is stored at my place in Colorado, so the build progress is extremely drawn out. But it should be completed by Spring.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
The car can easily be a mid 12 second car running at 350+ horsepower. What I hate about the GST is that they're front wheel so it don't stick that well for street driving (since you can't run slicks on them in the street). I'll definitely check out the link.

Edit: I just seen that long ass list!!! Damn that's a lot of parts. From what I've seen the body is nice.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] setzer715:
You will NEVER see the full 42Mbps from a cell site ever. Well, until TMO goes to 84Mbps speeds. Why? Because, once you launch the site with that speed capability, load up a few hundred voice calls, 20 or more data sessions, well that 42 has just become 5Mbps. People don't realize that Voice traffic uses bandwidth, a lot of bandwidth in fact.

Here in Phoenix when we turned up our first 42Mbps site it was tested by a fellow tech at night. The site was locked from any outside traffic. Doing this he was able to achieve speeds hitting 39Mbps. But once that site was unlocked and taking normal traffic, it was down to like 8Mbps.

Cell sites do NOT work like internet for your home. Running on a 42Mbps site does not guarantee you will hit those speeds. A 42Mbps site is SHARED.

Now right now Verizon and MAYBE ATT are getting really good speeds on their spotty LTE networks but wait till they get loaded down with traffic. It'll be the same or worse than HSPA+.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
Haha I should take a picture of all the boxes of parts in the garage, it's ridiculous. I wish I could drop that much on parts for my WRX.

He was thinking about doing the AWD conversion but we agreed that it would have been way too much of a nightmare. In fact, I damn near had him convinced to just pickup and EVO 8/9 instead. But he is just too in love with this car to let it go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
The amount of work you'd have to do to convert that car to AWD wouldn't be worth it both financially and labor wise. I'm surprised y'all are friends and you own a WRX. Y'all supposed to be rivals. Lmao. I think WRX looks nice but I hate the sound of the engine. It sounds like its missing. NO OFFENSE. My friends love the WRX over the Evo's though.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
What exactly didn't you like about the razr? I was looking at picking up one but the biggest drawback with motorola phones is the locked bootloader so no custom kernels.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kryptonian_Knight:
ya that was one thing but the ui is way too complicated, to many options. I hoped it would be like the og did but it wasnt. I also got dead pixels out of the box. And it gets really hot. Battery worse then charge. I'm sure the hardware is great but Motorola killed it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I was reading threads about people complaining about black splotches on the screen when looking at a black image in the dark (why would you do that anyway?) Apparently its an issue with AMOLED screens as they all say. Other than that and the high temps everyone seems to like the phone. I'm having Verizon swap me to a new phone so I'm trying to get an idea if the Razr or Rezound is better.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anongeek:
they both suck. we were cheated and never got the SGSII. The greatest phone to date.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dboy352:
Motorola has some great ideas but when it cones ti amoled screens Samsung takes the lead hands down. I like the options I get with my photon but I too have dark spots on my screen. Not a big deal to me, you get used to them, but out of the box come kn Motorola get it together.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I could live with the black spots. It's not like I would be staring at a black picture under the blankets constantly Lol. The lack of removable battery worries me when it comes to flashing roms though.

I rooted my phone with revolutionary so I could use the wifi hotspot. Im alerted that I have a update. I try to install and I get and error. I did do a backup and restored the block buster app that I unstalled. The only other issue is I did move some apps over to the sd card, but I cant remember what ones I moved.

Dear Superatmos,

i alreaday installed ur rom v1.1 n kernel v1.2 for about two days. the first day it work flawlessly, but the problem occur when i charged my phone to 100%, it started to lag and the battery usage for display part around 45%..does this normal?? because all the thread that i read doesnt have this kind of prob..up untill now the status of battery usage:

Display : 39%

Android OS: 18%

Voice call: 18%

Cell Standby: 12%

Phone idle: 8%

Android System: 2%

the remaining quota of battery 49%...how come the display use a huge amount of battery, i already minimise the brightness n enable the power saving mode...all the other part work fine except this prob with batt usage..

Ok, the vid said to be brief. I admit I am a noob, but you have to start somewhere...

To start I have found exactly what I was looking for, a tutorial on how to root my Wildfire S (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195275), my problem is that it is chock full of terms that I really have no definition for. And google doesn't really help. "bootloader", "XTC-Clip", "S-On", "S-Off", this last one seems very important since it's the first step, but I just don't know what it means.

I understand many of these things are probably programs that I need to install, but I'm not sure if they are installed from the Android marketplace and put onto my phone, or if they are installed to my desktop and then used from there.

Before you make any changes on your device make a backup.

Use the manual method (Step 1-4). To unroot your device use the manual method again and change IF= and OF= (For example: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p1 to dd if=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p1 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1).

P.S.: You need the adb from google and the Acer Iconia A500 driver from the acer website.

Flash an old Stock ROM e.g 3.0.1 and update it to HC3.2.

Go into the control panel & uninstall the USB drivers & kies mini if installed. Then reinstall Kies Mini & use the menu option to reinstall the drivers. See if that helps.

Could it be the cable you're using? I've seen quite a few posts here about people using cables that were bad and/or too long and it prevented the phone from being recognized via USB. People could charge the phone but not use ODIN or anything.

Do you have a different cable to try?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rozzko:
the phone boots fine during the boot after the initial boot screen where it says galaxy s 4g it goes into rainbow patterns. so every time i try to get into recovery when I am in the recovery menu (or into where the recovery menu should be) i cannot see anything because of the rainbow screen. I was told maybe i have the wrong boot loaders installed.

because i cant see recovery and I cannot get my computer to see my phone I have no idea what to do get my phone back to stock to start over.

This is why I am stuck.

If i could get my computer to see the phone I think i could odin back to stock, using the dongle is half the battle as i can get in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Pardon me if I'm not getting it....but yo said it boots fine but then you get the rainbow screen when the Galaxy S 4G logo should appear? The rainbow screen is definitely a boot loader issue. I'm just trying to figure out a way to either get you into a download mode where the phone is recognized or into recovery so you can get it going again.

How are you getting it into recovery mode?

I'm wondering if Heimdall would be your best bet? You could try to download it from here, extract it somewhere, then go into the Drivers folder and double-click zadig.exe. Select Options from the menu bar, select List All Devics then select Samsung Android Composite (something along those lines), then click Install Driver. This is a different driver than the one that comes from Samsung.

After that, maybe try Bhundven's [Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]. Select whichever one-click file you want to go for and follow his instructions. They all have the GB bootloaders in them, so you should be set.
