[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meevil:
Hey guys,

I am very new to all this stuff, but I have already had some experience with roms with my SGS2. Now my girlfriend got the "old" SGS from her father as a christmas present.

It is a Vodafone branded phone: I9000BUJP7 with 2.2 on it.

Since my girlfriend, of course, isn't very interested in all this stuff, I am just looking for a way to get her to 2.3.*

Is there any tutorial or is anybody outthere willing to give me a short step-by-step guide for getting her to 2.3.*?

It would be enough to get her to a original Samsung firmware with 2.3 on it. How can i manage that?

Thanks a lot for your help!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansonator:
If she doesn't care, put 2.2.1 on her phone. It is the fastest and most stable. 2.3 doesn't have anything to offer her really and most have some bug or another.

Hi,

I am using Samsung galaxy model No. GT-I9000

firmware ver. 2.2.1

baseband ver. I9000XXJQ1

kernal ver. 2.6.32.9 root@DELL105#1

build No. froyo.XWJS8

I want to upgrade to 2.2.3 give me the method to flash it.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kage00:
It depends if there is anything on there that she wants backed up, like apps or text messages.

If she does you need to root the phone first, then install 'titanium backup' and 'sms backup and restore' to save the important stuff (with titanium backup open it then press the menu button, then go to 'batch' then choose to backup all you want)

If not you can just download an odin flashable rom, download odin, follow the instructions exactly as they are described and you should have no problems.

I would recommend having a look at darky's roms (he has his own darkyrom.com website) have a look at one of the roms in the stable section, 10.2.2 was a pretty good rom, with great battery life too (approx 3 days!)

Then you just have to put back titanium backup and sms backup and restore and restore the old stuff you want back onto the phone

Otherwise there is a new 2.3.6 rom JVZ just recently cam out, seems pretty stable and fast, but it's only been out for a week or so, so it's early days to know if it will stay stable or not.

Can I offer you some advice though.. put a good stable rom on her phone and then leave it alone, she will get annoyed if you keep taking her phone from her to put a new rom on there that's not quite stable yet, she will get angry with you - I speak from experience lol ;)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BinaryXeroMedia:
Then I suggest you walk away and forget about the whole thing. If you really find it that hard then don't do it. All the people I know that go ita really hard end up bricking the device. Rooting is easy but yes bootloader unlock is very dangerous and by the sounds of things you are one person who needs to stay well away from the from that area. If this is the only device you have and can't afford another one then stop. But if you can risk it and buy a new one then carry on by all means but if something goes wrong don't go crying to everyone else trying to fix your phone as you have been warned the risks involved. They are

Bricking (killing) the device.

Breaking certain sections of the Rom or even device.

Over heating CPU

Lockups and reboots

Battery drain

Void warranty

Void insurance (not all)

Short curcuiting

Plus many more.

I just suggest just sticking to rooting ans stay away from the bootloader.

Use DooMLoRDs ZergRush easy rooting tool kit in the development section. That will root it and allow you to remove bloatware and more.

Regards

Blackwatch ;)

P.S. I'm not trying to be nasty. I'm just being honest and letting you know and telling you my thoughts. Read up more about it and learn a bit more before rushing into things like this as like I said. I have seen many brick their devices through not knowing what they are doing or what it does. Even developers have bricked there devices. Talk to DooMLoRD and he will explain more ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] piotrpmpm:
Just to share a solution to a strange problem I had.

I wanted to upgrade a Samsung i5800 but I counldn't get it visible from KIES (PC, XP, sp3).

I've installed newest KIES, reistalled usb drivers several times, changed PC but the phone was not recognised. Whenever I connected it to the PC a icon of "new driver" got displayed and nothing happened except for the message "MTP device" being displayed.

I tried to remove the SD card but than I've got a message (on the phone) that SD card is missing and phone wasn't connecting either.

After performing several test it appeared that the SD card (1 GB) that ws in the phone was not functioning correctly (although it worked pefectly in the other phones).

After I replaced it with a different SD Card (4 GB) all of sudden everything started to work perfectly :)
[Galaxy 3 General] satishynd:
first of all, wrong section

as to your question.. i had the same problem, removing SD card, doing a factory reset solved my problem.

have you tried factory reset option???
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Dude go to settings, wireless and network settings (on froyo not sure about ecliar but it's on both) then go to USB settings and choose Samsung kies.

Don't just jump to conclusions that factory reset is they only way to fix it, there are other methods out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
There are several threads now detailing a problem with playing music, mainly reported when using the Google Music app. To be more specific here are some examples:

When playing music and then multitasking, the phone crashes and requires a battery pull and reboot.

Another is when playing music and then turning the screen off, the music is jerky and stutters.

People have reported this happening with apps other than Google Music, so it would appear that this isn't a problem with the Music app, but either the phone or ICS.

I wanted to start a poll to gauge how many people have this problem and establish whether it's everyone or not.

Here are some links to what I'm referring to:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smacman:
Your poll is a bit flawed. My experience so far is that these crashes are a bit more random than being attributed to any specific apps right now. I've experienced the crash, but long story short, I am not convinced it was related to the exact app that I was using at the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Well just because you have experienced an unrelated crash it doesn't mean my poll is flawed, just that you have a separate issue :P

People have spoken of this happening repeatedly when trying to use Music and multitask so I think it is definitely an issue of it's own. Usually it is said that the sound/screen goes corrupt and then requires a battery pull. Are you not referring to a random reboot or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str355:
i have a couple of problems with PowerAmp, no problems with google music though.

1. PowerAmp can't see playlists that were created in google music

2. PowerAmp stutters when the screen goes to sleep. (does the clock speed lower when the screen goes off?)

i've read that increasing the buffer size in poweramp options fixes no. 2. I havent tried it due to no.1.

i'm just using google music at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FirstToTheLast:
WinAmp i found would often have slight cracks in the music (i.e. stop and start again quickly, almost like it was being disturbed/cpu high).

doubletwist is fine though, as is Music player

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayvioli:
problem number 2 here for me. songs with high bit rates tends to trigger the stutter problem after the phone goes to sleep. tried on google music and playerpro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Google Music 4.0.1 (ICS stock) often crashes within a minute after I reboot the phone - without me actually using it.

Obviously it's trying to do something in the background on start-up and fails. Miserably. :)

Did not crash while I was using it so far, but I didn't run it for any lengths of time either. No problems with other apps crashing, just Music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belayson:
Yes I notice it too, it's very annoying especially since I payed so much for this phone and a good set of headphones just for my high bit-rate music to constantly stutter; hopefully google fixes this. I seem to only notice this on the stock music player, but I prefer to use it over others due to its integration with the lockscreen and notification pulldown bar, especially considering the nice visuals it now has.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rs5000:
my 2 cents:

i can recreate the crash consistently by doing the following:

1. reboot the phone and connect a pair of headphones

2. stream a song (i.e., a song that's not already saved to the phone) using google music

3. use the home button to leave the google music app and return to the homescreen

4. while the song is playing, try to increase or decrease the volume of the music with the volume buttons and then almost immediately the phone reboots automatically.

i haven't been able to recreate the issue once with the headphones disconnected. also, the issue doesn't seem to occur if you connect the headphones after you start playing the music. i need to test that theory some more though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samzebian:
I noticed this right away when I got my phone (launch day)

Since I constantly stream music from google music, I noticed pops and weird noises all the time. Very weird and SUPER annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sweerts:
The stock music app is not able to find my music at all. I use PowerAMP now and that works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Music also crashes when not actively in use at all. When I open a lot of apps, i.e. multi-task a lot, Music often just force closes after a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deyna:
I'm using PowerAmp now to listen to music stored in either .flac or the highest quality .mp3 files lame could produce. Some are 320kbps cbr others are vbr. In PowerAmp I set the process to the highest priority possible but left the buffer on auto.

I have never had any reboots or studering when locking the screen and I've been listening to music for over 3 hours now while doing some home work. Just to test it I put on one of my flac files and quickly locked and unlocked the screen. The phone took it like and champ with no studers at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueBagodah:
No problems with music apps crashing, or needing to pull the battery. The only issue I have is with music or podcasts played through the native music player or Google Listen stopping at random intervals. Happens using wired speaker/headphones or bluetooth audio.

Frustrating, but not a dealbreaker yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kptkill:
I called Verizon for no other reason other than trying to create a record of the issue... They claimed to have not heard of this... Is there any way to let Samsung know directly? I know there is a google code ticket open, but Google hasn't "owned" the issue yet... I'd also say if you have the issue to let VZW know so they can get things in motion on their side as well.

WinAMP - today while playing an album with the screen off paused (twice). I had to turn on the display, and hit the play button to continue. There was a bit of a lag (I got the FC screen, but when i hit wait the app returned a few seconds later)

Stock Rom/Kernel, Rooted, CDMA

GN will reboot after an indeterminate (it varies) amount of time streaming with Pandora, Slacker, and iHeartRadio.

Pandora is the worst culprit, Slacker and iHeartRadio will stay up longer.

This has shown itself on 3G, 4G, and more recently, WiFi.

Apps have been reinstalled. Happens no matter when the last time I've rebooted.

It was suggested to me to use the Fix Permissions in ROM Manager, but another problem showed there. I get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Looking up solution to this currently.

Google Music does not do this. However, when playing with the EQ settings it will crash occasionally. Haven't pinpointed when this is happening (whether headphone jack occupied or not, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
just a theory- I had music crash and refuse to start until i disabled adblocking. I then re-enabled it, and music crashed again. I repeated this process several times, and got the same result. Are any of you running adhost blocking apps?

Negatory,

Is anyone else still having issues with PowerAmp where after rebooting the homescreen widget turns white? I've read in the devs description on the market that it's commonly caused by task managers, tweaking, etc. I have done none of these things and using stock 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
slacker.com is my culprit. I don't use Pandora (I never liked their suggestions)

Lately it starts up well and starts playing the stations fine.

Then out of the blue the whole phone powers down immediately. I mean there is no warning or app slowing or anything. The phone immediately goes black like someone pulled the battery. I have never seen a device shut off so quickly as my phone does with slacker.com.

This kills me as I love the slacker app and get a lot of great music ideas from their stations. I am hoping that this is some sort of ICS issue and will be fixed. Has anyone been to the slacker.com forums to see if there are any others with this problem? I have not been able to reproduce the problem at will it is entirely random.

I tried to log in there but it would not accept my password and would not send me a hint. strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tadddd:
Nevermind, still having issues.

Happening very frequently. I don't know what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zizco:
I was having issues with all music apps when I was running Android 4.0.2. My phone would literally hang up and reboot after 15 agonizing seconds. I updated to 4.0.3 Kang and it has been flawless ever since. I tested with Winamp, poweramp, double twist and google music and none of them have issues.

I certainly believe its a serious ICS issue that hopefully an official 4.0.3 update would solve.

I didn't experience any stuttering issues with music playing on my Galaxy Nexus. However on my Nexus S running ICS I had that but only with Google Music.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Hi all.

Firstable let me say that this is a great community, and you all are doing great jobs to keep our phones in touch with the newer technologies.

Now lets jump straight to the question/problem.

I have a Samsung Galaxy MINI, GT-5570.

When I bought it, the Android system was Android 2.3.1 Froyo.

Yesterday I updated to 2.3.6 Gingerbread from this link.

I have a 512MB SD Card, and my question is, will I be available to flash this CyanogenMod 7.1.0 with Odin just like it said on the post there, or do I need to do something else before.

Oh, one more little thing, Does the process I did yesterday (Updating to 2.3.6 Gingerbread) is called "root" or no ? Sorry for my stupidness.

I searched for this if there is similar question but wasnt succesful.

Help appreciated. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Also, sorry forgot to ask which ROM do you suggest to me. CyanogenMod, Andro-id, or some other.

I would like to see what people with experience here have to say about this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Yes, you can flash Cyanogenmod 7 IF you are using any of the Cyanogen mod 7 roms currently.

No wipe is required.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
No, I am not using any kind of ROM.

As I said, I bought my phone some weeks ago, and only recently flashed Android 2.3.6 Firmware from andoidadvices.com .

The previous version was, 2.3.1 Froyo.

Im pretty noob, so that's what I am asking.

What should I do before applying these steps from here
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Froyo is 2.2

The steps is provided in the thread that you linked me. Just follow the steps.

PLEASE ask the developer of the rom the steps you should follow to prevent anything wrong.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Nevermind than, it was only 2.3.1

I would have asked in the original thread but it says I need at least 10 posts in order to be able to post there.

I though posting here might help.

Let's wait for a little bit more and in the meantime try and get my answer in the internet.

Thanks for you availability.

2.3. Is gingerbread...

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Again, I made mistake. I meant it was 2.2.1 Froyo.

Now I guess in order to flash CyanogenMod 7.1.0 I need to root my phone.

I have a question. Does my 512MB SD Card is enough ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Internal storage 512mb or external storage?

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
I tried to download SuperOneClick and when I downloaded it, My Antivirus said this.

What should I do ?

If I clear that file, can I still root the phone successfully ?

And please one more time so I can be assured, Rooting my Galaxy Mini, 2.3.6 Gingerbread with SD Card 512MB, using SuperOneClick will be correct ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Forgot about antivirus, just disable it. I don't have antivirus in my computer for 4 years.

Yes, you can use a 512mb. But not recommended. Try getting a larger one as you need to backup your rom before fully wipe your device.

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demikos89:
Yeah, I figured it out in another thread that I should just ignore the Antivirus.

I guess I will have to buy a 2GB SD Card before doing this.

It seems it isnt as easy as I thought to root a phone and flash CyanogenMod 7.

Will get a new SD as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help mate. Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
Hi there,

i am from the UK. based on all the forums i read about google wallet, there doesn't seems to be anyway we can topup our google wallet prepaid card from abroad.

which i have a question. if you are in the states, where google wallet is officially supported, how do you actually topup the prepaid card?

is it only possible via the google wallet app? do they only accept topping up from a american credit card?

i am thinking whether its possible to some how setup a VPN (not even a proxy), to the US, and topup via it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I would suggest trying this - http://www.usunlocked.com/how_it_works.php?topic=USUnlockedCard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
still doesn't quite answer my question of how to topup into the prepay card google gives. (as we can't add any CCards apart from cards from the US. plus specific banks only i believe).

unless you are trying to tell me, that i can add this virtual debit card into my google wallet app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
That won't work unfortunately.

I'm starting to think that we're stuck until Google officially release the application in the UK. What a shame.

Unless you have a friend/family member in the states who is willing to provide you with all of their card details. I don't have that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fakker:
Yep, that's what he is saying. Sign up to that service; they give you a US card.

You can then add this US card; to add money into your el Goog wallet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
They give you a US virtual prepaid card. Google Wallet only takes credit cards for top-up. Besides, I contacted the company and they confirmed that it won't work with Google Wallet.

We're stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fakker:
****ty! I didn't realise that. Oh well! Sucks for us (UK/rest of the world).

I remember reading about Google Wallet on Modaco after GN release, and I noticed someone saying every time they reflashed the package they were getting a different ID... wonder if this means another free $10 - could be an nice supply of McDonald's being one of the only places I have seen where you can use it :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
I was thinking about that, too. Logging into Google Wallet online shows no record of the $10, maybe that's why?

But I'm not too sure. Not only is it morally questionable, but you'd basically be stealing $10, and the people you're stealing from have your name, phone number, address etc.

But maybe I'll try it later on in the future. I'm sick of constantly being bugged to update to the volume bug fix update, so I might restore to stock, update and then try to reflash Google Wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fakker:
Hehe, great minds think alike :P I'm scared to do it too... As Google Wallet will be in UK for the Olympics (maybe before to test it)... they'll catch up with us
