[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AdliHebat:
If you want rooted 2.3.6, you need to do the Root method using recovery. The automated script no longer work. I confirmed this is working.

I have a quick question. Do I need root to flash CWM via Odin?

I really like to flash KezraPlanes Rom afterwords.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sigprof:
No, flashing in Download Mode does not require a rooted phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klingel_One:
But I will need root, when i'm going to flash KezraPlanes' Rom over CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fender90:

Hi Guys,

I'm just bought this Galaxy W. I install the Kies and when plug in my phone, it prompt me to update firmware. I click yes and leave it there for more than 1 hour.

Now it loaded with new firmware 2.3.6

So do I need rooted for this?

Sorry if this is noob question.:p

What does this feature exactly do or what is it for?

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
thanks for this info...is your phone's firmware still recognized by Kies since you update via fota?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
Yes it does get recognized because it is an official way of updating. But Samsung Kies is sometimes slower than the update ^^, so it might not get recognized the first days.

greets

THE-E
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
I think it is to extract/dumpt the RAM. I have not heard any dev or anybody else using it, so the real use is not very certain.

EDIT: Sorry for double post.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
so the best way of updating the firmware is via FOTA since the result the phone is still rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
It depends, if you have ClockWorkMod installed as recovery, than you will have to flash the stock recovery before being able to update via OTA. In this case you might prefer updatin via KIES and rooting via recovery, than flashing again ClockWorkMod via ODIN/ADB Shell.

I will right in the next days, what all you should know if you want to update.

is it deem neccessary to flash custom recovery after rooting? or it is ok if it is just rooting?

i have a question on recovery mode, when the robot and the box appears on the screen, i press the menu button, how about vol up and the home button? do i need to release this two?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
It is not necessary to install custom recovery if you just want root access. If you want to overclock(increase the CPU frequency), than you might need a cutom ROM/custom kernel.

What root provides is just access to every directories, read and write. You have full administrator rights.

No you don't have to press the volume up and home-button once the android with the box appears. Would be kind of acrobatic ^^.

greets

THE-E
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:

can i request a video for this? :D

a. vol up + menu + power button = recovery mode

b. samsung logo appears = release power button but dont release vol up and home button

c. robot and box appears = press menu button

in what step should i release the vol up and home button?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] robin0800:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:

Software update

Hello everybody!

Is there a way to apply ota update while cwm installed? I tapped setting/about phone/software update. 25M was downloaded and them i hit apply. Phone rebooted to recovery mode - cwm. So what's next? Where should I look for some *.zip or update*whatever file?..

I tried to find that file starting from root directory with no luck. Where is this downloaded file?:rolleyes:

If there is no availability to apply update with cwm, I would like at least to delete it.

Best regards.

UPD: I did a bit research and it looks like this update is *.cfg among others under /data/data/com.wssyncmldm.

I guess, adding all those files to update.zip will not work and I have to revert to stock recovery, right? :)

samsung gt-i8150 download mode not working
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbDroid:
Hi everyone,

I'm in desperate need of help and advice! Starting yesterday evening, my phone kept force closing processes and apps (even Google ones) constantly and rapidly. It was to the point where after I hit 'force close' in the pop-up window another would pop-up etc. I restarted a couple times, cleared the dalvik cache , repaired permissions, etc. I have downloaded no new apps for a week, regular titanium backups but when I tried to restore settings with Titanium it kept force closing too (hence, unsuccessful).

Here's my problem - my phone won't even get past the startup screen! It's stck on the Rogers 'i896' screen and won't go past. It will not start up in recovery either. I've managed to get it to open in download mode, but when I plug my phone into my computer it will not recognize it. I've used Odin3 to try and reflash to stock, but I keep getting the message "all threads completed (succeed 0/failed 0)". I've tried this with the one click odin and the regular Odin. No luck.

Can anyone help me at all? I'm thinking if I can figure out a way to erase everything in download mode it might startup but I haven't figured out a way to do that; Odin's master clear doesn't seem to be doing it nor the 'repartition option'. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me?

I was previously running CM7 with Glitch Kernel, 2.3.3

Thank you for any help you can provide!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
Over the last couple of days. my GNex has gone very sluggish. The most noticeable areas are:

When the notification bar is pulled down, it does not go back up smoothly. Sometimes it just jerks to half way up the screen

When I open Whats App, it takes about 8-9 seconds to open. It was instant on my SGS2

When I go back to the home screen, it is on my wallpaper, but empty for 3-4 seconds, then the widgets re-appear

When I press the multitasking key, it does not register immediately. Then about 2-3 seconds, it highlights, and the open programs appear

I've had my unit for about 3 weeks with around 50 apps installed. Has anyone else experienced this, and can you suggest anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I don't notice any of this except very rarely the homescreen-redraw one (I think that is more an issue with the Launcher app itself, as it has been on every Android device I've owned), and it is WAY less pronounced/occurs less often than on my previous devices- even the Tegra-2 Atrix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yangqi:
I'd guess it's probably because some of the apps are not compatible with ICS yet, and they are running on background eating up system resources. You should check running apps and even battery history to see which app used abnormal amount of battery ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cy88:
I use the app Watchdog to help with finding the culprit sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
have you tried turning it off and on again ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
thanks for all the suggestions guys. I looked at my background apps and i saw one suspect one which was 'Touch' aka pingchat. I uninstalled it and things are back to normal. The suggestion of watchdog sounds pretty good too. I'll use that in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Popeyethe13th:
I experienced all that about a week ago. It was definitely due to various apps that are not ics optimized . Once uninstalled the phone was back to normal. Dont install apps in bulk, instal them one by one with couple of hours in between, or simply keep the track of the apps installed in chronological order . Ics is so new, that any app can corrupt your phone, and u want to know which one it is. Hope that helps. Cheers
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stephensonbrady:
Just thought i'd share this with the community. You can do LOTS of really cool stuff with this app. If you get if from the website rather the market you get a 7 day trial. Look in the wiki for examples and tutorials of what you can do with it.:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garbagedump481:
I'm face down in this app all day, almost every day.

I've gotten it to do some nice things, such as get the area code of the current caller and display it in the notification area or as a toast notification (the grey popup box, like when you get superuser notifications). I'm currently devising a way for it to do this for country codes, but some of these country codes have some oddly specific rules, and I'd rather it not have 290 profiles for 1 function :p

It replaces my alarm clock in the morning, and it turns the alarm off if I unlock widgetlocker.

When I flip my phone face down, it goes to vibrate mode.

I found a blog/forum post where someone had made a popup list of launcher icons when you plug in headphones, and I like that.

I use it to pin lock apps, but that's far from perfect. It did replace an app I had for that purpose.

I have it send WOL packets to my computers at work; depending on the time of day and the day of the week, it chooses specific computers.

When I'm at my home screen, I shake the phone up/down and it goes through my menus and applies the rendering effects found in CM7, kind of like the Chainfire shortcut.

If I get a missed call, meaning I didn't answer it or hang it up, it responds to the missed call with a text message. Too bad there's not a way for me to find out if that number is cellular or not, and I can get a phonecall from anywhere in the US throughout the day because of work :o

I had, for a little while, been trying to replicate JuiceDefender's methods by using a series of variables and controls, with profiles to enable and disable almost all interfaces for comms on the phone. The way tasker works when the screen is off, however, caused issues so I went back to reinstalling Juicedefender. I really only wanted to have a cleaner notification bar :p

I also got some profiles to make it work like the Screebl app, but it has since quit working with the newest tasker updates.

Very well worth the money however. I'd have easily paid 15 dollars for this application :D

[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
We've got twins on the way, so we just bought the wife a new minivan. It has bluetooth audio, which is a pretty slick feature. Up until now, I haven't used bluetooth on any of my phones.

She has an EVO 4G, and I have the 3D. I've noticed that when we're playing music in the van using her bluetooth, you can skip songs with the car's controls, and they'll skip on her phone.

But with the 3D, music plays fine, but to skip a song I have to use my phone's touchscreen. The car's stereo won't control the phone's media player.

I'm on CleanROM 2.5.

Does anyone know why I can't control the phone's media player through my car's stereo, but it works fine on the older EVO?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Hmm very weird.... I don't have built in bluetooth with my car but I use a bluetooth to fm transmitter that has music controls on it and the controls work fine. I use subsonic to play music. I also have a Motorola s9hd and the music controls on that work fine as well..... Have you tried to unpair and then re-pair the car to your phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
Try connecting to media only. If that doesn't work try manually selecting the media player in the music app, and switch it to the car. If it still doesn't work, check the settings in the car's stereo, maybe there is a setting in there. Also, EVO 3D runs BT 3.0, not sure what EVO 4G has.
[HTC EVO 3D] Janker5050:
Do you have a stock kernal...cause my bluetooth controls work just fine with a stock rom and kernal
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
So this would be kernel related, as opposed to rom related? I'm probably going to update my ROM soon anyway, so we'll see if that helps.

Do any ROMs/Kernels support track information being transmitted over bluetooth?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Track information over bluetooth is a app thing I believe.

I can say I have used CleanRom 2.5 with bluetooth controls and I have no issues. Right now I am using Myns Rls1 and I have no issue with bluetooth controls.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
Try a different music app.

OR, what other audio apps do you have? Something else, for example, like an audiobook reader, may have "hijacked" priority control of the bluetooth controls and that's why they're not working for you on the 3D.

I use them all the time, but sometimes I've had some apps take control of them and I had to delete them or try to not make them have priority.
