[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got_milk:
I've got a bit of a head scratcher on this one.

I've had my I9000M for a year and a bit now, and for the past month or so I've been putting up with this seemingly random 'screeching' sound it's been putting out. The best way I could describe it is the high pitched noise a CRT TV/monitor emits when it's turned on, but higher pitched than that. It's certainly irritating, especially when it wakes me up at night.

I can't pinpoint an exact time where this would occur - it starts and stops with a mind of its own it seems. I can be heavily using the device or not touching it at all. ROMs have zero effect - stock and CM-based ROMs all exhibit this noise.

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be occurring?

EDIT: This morning I went to check for messages, and found that my phone was off - turning it on caused some weird graphical glitches, then booting (showing the Galaxy S logo), and it appears to bootloop from there. Recovery and download modes are both impossible to reach, I don't have a USB jig so I can't test that however I'm doubtful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reefy:
Don't know what could be causing it but I too have this strange noise for about 10seconds when on the phone to someone.

It like a static discharge or something but it goes away after and its only been happening for the last month or two. I've had my i9000 for over a year.

Thankfully though no graphical glitches, sorry didn't mean to bump your thread without a solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iJimaniac:
Hello, I recently bricked my samsung galaxy player, and guess what; it was rooted.

I have tried flashing a rom with the zImage, factoryfs.rfs, and efs.rfs in it, but it just boots into "system recovery <3e>". I think the problem might be I need the recovery.bin and boot.bin in the rom also, perhaps? I bricked it while trying to flash cwm, if that helps. If someone could tell me what I need to do to fix this, that would be great. But, I think I will have to send it into samsung, hence my question; Does samsung detect if devices are rooted, if so will they still fix it for a charge? How much is that charge? Also, how long on average does it take to fix, because I absolutely need it back by the 8th of Jan. Any answer is appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GNmagic:
Sorry to her that. From what i understood, they might be able to check if you have flashed your device before and this may affect your warranty. If so, then you may have to pay to get it fix. No one is certain how you will be charged as the they need to assess your device first. Hope for the best.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iJimaniac:
Well, it is being evaluated by their techs right now, I haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone know how long it usually takes them to repair it? I asked and one person said from 4 to 15 days, another said 3 to 4 days. I really need it back by the first of January, but I have a bad feeling with it being holiday season.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MakeMeFibonacci:
I had rooted phones with Tmobile and Virgin that I would send back under warranty. Nobody said anything to me about them...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notriddle:
Have you tried Odin-ing completely back to stock? Complete restore to stock has gotten me out of multiple hurdles where I'd've been bricked otherwise.

[edit] I was looking around for images to recommend to you, and found out you have already tried that. Sorry.

And yes, they'd probably service you, since they usually don't check at all. Just plug it into the computer and hit "flash." But it is dishonest.

[HD2 General] keller112:
There's so many threads on this subject i'm getting confused. I need help with my HD2. I've currently installed wp7 on it and run android MIUI off the SD card. The issue here is that MIUI does not want to install/download apps while CM7 has a scaling issue. Is there any way I can clear my NAND and just keep MAGLDR so I can flash a NAND-based MIUI Rom? And how would I go about the whole procedure?

What I just want in actuallity is to be able to install apps, so if there's a way to do that - It'll suffice.
[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
Your install issue have nothing to do with NAND, rather your SD card install. I'd re-install your Android, as in card in reader transfer. Make sure your SD Android partition had adequate space to run Android and install apps and see what happens. If no joy - try different Android SD version, could be issues with your particular version.

However, if you want to start afresh you can use task29 to wipe everything, then reinstall WM6.5, magldr, Android etc. I just flashed Android to device without the hassle of going through complete wiping, reinstalls etc.
[HD2 General] b84:
task29

Do task29. Reflash magldr or cLK then put nand rom of your choice on nand
[HD2 General] MarioWaza:
I would do this:

run task29 => Flash MAGLDR => flash CWM => flash ROM to

NAND
[HD2 General] keller112:
Just one thing, when do I run task29? it's in the winmo section and it says it wants an activesync connection, how do I run that? MAGLDR flasher? While in WP7.5? While running an android ROM?
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
if i had a penny for everytime that question comes up...

during flashing, whenever the instructions tell you to begin the flashing utility when the phone is sitting in windows mobile, just mentally interpret those instructions as "dude! somehow get your phone into the bootloader!". that is the "tri-color" screen that appears when powering on your phone with the volume button pressed (until the screen appears).

you see, the only real explainable reasons that the instructions are worded that particular way are:

1. when in windows mobile, the flashing utility is able to detect the battery level, which must be above 50%. when you don't have windows mobile, using the method mentioned in the previous paragraph is EQUIVALENT, but the utility won't be able to check battery levels and it will proceed anyway. so it is up to you to ensure that the battery has sufficient juice to survive through the flashing process and first boot of your newly flashed ROM.

2. when in windows mobile, the suggestion to wait for an activesync connection is meant to make sure (for noobs!) that they have connected the usb cable physically to both the device and the PC. this also makes sure that the device and PC are able to communicate under activesync, which means there is a HIGH chance that the flashing utility will be able to communicate with the device when it begins the flashing with the phone in the boot loader screen. if you know your cable is good and your PC has the correct drivers installed, etc, etc, then you can always simply boot directly into bootloader and skip the need for windows mobile all together.

i think this post of mine should be STICKIED!!! :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] TechPurist:
Hi guys, I am new to Android (Galaxy Note) from iOS.

I have successfully connected to my works VPN. How do I browse files on the device?

On my windows PC I connect to the VPN and then use explorer to browse to this directory:

//D*****R/DATA/SERVER/Filing cabinet/

This directory contains all our invoices in excel format. I want to be able to look at them and edit them.

I downloaded a file explorer program but that asks me to put all the server details in again. I tried that and it said couldn't connect.

Anyone else use VPN for work?

Help?

Thanks.

Took apart a Samsung galaxy tab i800 to replace a pulverized digitizer and lcd when this part fell out:

It came out as soon as i took off the back piece to expose the battery. It apparently was rattling the whole time. Does anyone have any idea what it is? Or where it goes? I can't find anything online about it, and i've scoured the PCB and i can't find a single hint as to where it goes.

[Android Themes] KidJoe:
Is it difficult to make it work on the Droid Bionic? (qHD 960x540 screen)
[Android Themes] picard666:
if you want to make if work on qhd too its not that difficult

basically the one thing you need to use: relative coordinates.

if you use absolute (eg. x="13" y="88") for all the coordinates, then the ls will be rendered from the top left corner based upon the absolute numbers (the same is if you create an ls for qhd with absoulte numbers then you won't be able to see all of it on smaller screens)

that's where you should use relative numbers, too. they depend on #screen_width and #screen_height.

here let's see the sketch i made about it. it shows areas for 3 different sizes. i usually want my lockscreens to be in the middle of the screen so i usually use coordinates based upon the middle point for the x axis.

i have a 800x480 screen so if i want a point to be x="30" on it i take x="(#screen_width/2)-210. it will be 30 on 800x480 and 854x480 but will be 60 on qhd. but if i use for all things the x based on the middle point then my lockscreen will be horizontally in the middle of the screen no matter how big it is (of course if i say for example (#screen_width/2)-260 then i will see it only on qhd, because for the others it's negative)

for the y axis you can still mix the absolute and relative components. if you want something to be always 40px below the top line then you can still use y="40". but if you want something to be always 40 above the bottom line then you should use #screen_height-40, as it is 760 for 800x480, 814 for 854x480 and 920 for 960x540

basically that's the point of it. if you do so your ls'es will look more or less the same on all resolutions

(of yourse you can use screen_width and height with the width of images or whatever else, too, you can use it as a number and make functions with it, so you can strech or shrink an image based upon resolution. for that you can even use .9.png's)

hope it was clear
[Android Themes] mastawindu:
Thank you for that tutorial. I might use that technique in my next release.

I have one question : can I use "#screen_height/x" with any value as "x",even decimals ?

for example : a point that is located y=200 on a 480x800 screen is "screen_height/0,25". Would "screen_height/0,25" work on a 960x540 screen ?
[Android Themes] picard666:
y=200 is screen_height/4 on 800x480 not /0.25 and it will be y=240 on qhd

For decimals you must use points otherwise its possible to use with any values on any resolution (thats the point of it)

Of course the size of images will limit your screen to hdpi but its not that hard to calculate it to mdpi or ldpi if you want
[Android Themes] mastawindu:
erratum : I meant y=200 is screen_height*0.25 (multiply not divide)

Thanks for the explanation

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
It's not that bad.

Just need to flash a kernel, modem, and replace a gps.conf, and you should be fine and dandy. :)

The reason why I say a modem is because of the whole LTE thing, I wouldn't want it to screw anything up on your devices. I know for a fact we can flash your modem, our conversion script doesn't include a modem, so we can use your modem, don't know if it's vice-versa.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THE_KINGDOM:
Can the Galaxy Nexus stream audio via USB to a car deck or other docks/usb device??

Im really hoping it can because i used to have an iPhone and i could stream internet radio all day long from "tunein radio" or equivalent app to my car deck via USB.

i plugged the USB in today and it seems like it can only dock as a media device to look for stored media but unable to stream audio from another app??

*well I think i found the answer, it can't. If your deck is compatible with a "mass storage device" which the Galaxy Nexus can turn on to, then you can play stored audio, but you are unable to stream internet radio services through this method.

The only workaround is via bluetooth or aux cable. This really sucks, so im hoping the dev's can develop some kind of mod/tweak to enable audio to stream over the USB connection when docked as a "media device"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Probably uses more juice if and when this happens. And won't be able to charge when doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THE_KINGDOM:
This doesn't bare any relevance, all USB devices are able to transmit data and charge at the same time, irrespective of how much power the phone is consuming.

iPhone streams internet radio fine over USB/iPhone cable while charging.

Im saying right now you CAN play stored songs on the Galaxy Nexus with a car deck (while charging, but thats a given, it's USB),

BUT I can't seem to find a way to route the "streaming media" (eg- pandora, tunein radio apps) to transmit this audio through the USB cable to the deck. There must be a way, even if a tweak or mod has to be created.

Can any dev's chime in?

I think rooting my device i'm not voiding warranty,just protecting my privacy.

Do you think I'm right?

I'm not looking for a way to "legally Root" my device, I'm asking if you think this should be a way to avoid HTC/othervendors put this kind of stuff on our phone/pads/whatever without at least clearly notify what,when a to who is sending our profile data.

I tried the D30 and the Incipio Sillicylic and they se both good cases. The D30 feels good but the damn buttons are too hard too push.
