[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerofreak360:
i assume you havn't rooted/flashed before? if not, either get into a decent wifi area and update your phone through the settings (that worked for my friends galaxy ace) or see if theres an update through samsungs own software "Kies"

personally i think the 3g issue seems to fall on samsungs side of things but i could be wrong,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddn100:
no i havent rooted or flashed before. When i try to update in the phone info check for updates it says there is none im currently in the uae is the update done by the network or by samsung. Ive never used kies either. Ill have a look at it i thought kies was just another form of wifi.

So guys u already know my question frm the title ;p

I was trying to find ways to install emoji on my phone ... I tried installing "emoji keyboard" from the market.. in the description box of the app it says something like "method to display emoji on ur device" I followed that method and was able to see some emoji but in black n white color and some of em were in Chinese ...

Is there any way I can see emoji on my sensation xe like iPhone?

I know it's kindda silly to say but thats the only reason I'm using my iPhone now lol

Is it possible to have the "sd card" show up as a drive over bluetooth? I can make it show up as a Samba share over Wifi so was hoping there is a way to make it show up as a drive or Samba share or anything over bluetooth.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arkatis:
So i tried to install Mango builds on my HD2 after a long ago. Missed WP7!

I installed 3 different Mango builds but all of them said that my SD card is damaged and can not continue.[Kingston 16gb class 4]

Not even some Android builds worked..stuck at boot. [Never had any problem before]

A Format didn't work either with SDFormatter nor Partition programs e.t.c. And i do not have a Nokia phone to unlock the card or something.

The thing is that my card was formatted with 32 clusters, so i went and deleted the whole partition from partition magic and reformatted the card with SDFormatter, automatically it went to 32 clusters again. I went to windows format and selected the default settings on the card [cluster 8000b something] and now everything is working and i can enjoy Mango builds on my phone! WTH? :o

I also checked some other cards [verbatim,sandisk class 2 and 4] and formatted them the same way and again they are working properly.

I hope his simple fix will help others also and hope i am not mistaken!

Crazy huh?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] phaeton_esc:
Sounds interesting, i'll try it with my sandisk 8gb class4, when i'll be back at home. It was behaving like a corrupted after reboot in WP7, even i have tried different roms.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
yeah i noticed this on some marginal cards of mine, didnt effect the speed rating at all but there was some improvment in stability, i wouldnt say its perfect tho, there still some reboots/

top tip, DO NOT move the clusters size to 4K!

well an trully buggered one card up by mistake doing that!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kid1988:
Cluster size doesnt seem to matter. My kingston 32gb class 4 card still isn't recognised (never has been actually). Works fine on android and windows 7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arkatis:
But how can i use my SD cards that never worked with Mango builds? lol :confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] daedric:
I'm not going to say IMPOSSIBLE! , but it does not make sense.

The first thing you do while installing WP7, is clear the MBR. If the MBR is gone, so are all partitions and their defined cluster size.

There's something else to it...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] boz:
I totally agree! I had card issues when moving from the HD2 Yuki ROM to others in this forum, and three different cards weren't recognised.

It wasn't that the cards were faulty or damaged at all. I managed to reformat them on my pc after installing the Yuki ROM and using the lock cab to unlock them.

Full instructions HERE :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
thats a good point, even if you dont clear the MBR manually in MAGLDR the installer does wipe all partitions, which would clear the partition tables and associated cluster size
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] daedric:
Still... formating with a X cluster size, might create a 1/0 pattern either at the card begging in case of a quick format, or through the whole card in case of a full format, that WP7

prefers

I've never had this issue, so i cannot comment.

[Acer Iconia A500] magnusPI:
I write down how I made my GPS working after I spent hours trying all tips in the hope it can help someone.

What I write should apply to all ROMs since it concerns the GPS subsystem whose source is closed ("I love proprietary code...").

For an A500 (and not A501) try from the shell

ls /sys/class/gpio/gpio203/*

if you get

then continue reading.

Now you can try from the shell

getprop ro.dinfo.radio

if you get

I cannot help while if you get

(this should be the answer for A501, I guess) or something else then I can help.

To solve your problem simply add

to /system/build.prop

You can do it as you want for example by the following commands

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.orig
echo ro.dinfo.radio=Wifi >> /system/build.prop

Pay attention that there are two (2) > in the last line.
[Acer Iconia A500] magnusPI:
Details

I now describe how I reached the previous results because this could help also those making ROMs.

In init.picasso.rc there is actually the solution.

If you look at the services you notice that

Then (thanks to engineerings at BMC)

# /system/bin/glgps_nvidiaTegra2android -h
glgps_nvidiaTegra2android [-d] [-c] [config_file] [job_name] [-p pidfile]
-d: It'll be run as a daemon
-c: It'll be run in a console
-h: This help
-s: stick in a tight loop to await attaching by GDB
-p: file name where the pid will be saved, by default it'll be /var/run/glgps_nvidiaTegra2android.pid

gives you some hints on how to use /system/etc/gps/gpsconfig.xml.

In particular at its beginning you find

then if you change to

and restart the gps subsystem you find nice logs in /data/gps.

You can produce logs and test your gps subsystem by issuing commands as

/system/bin/glgps_nvidiaTegra2android Cold_Starts

which can be used to make a cold start.

From these logs it was easy to suppose that the issue was that /sys/class/gpio/gpio203/value was not present.

Then in init.picasso.rc you find

which explains what you should expect in A500 (ro.dinfo.radio=Wifi) and A501 (ro.dinfo.radio=3G).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omohat:
So I tried to apply the 8107 update yesterdayevening (Unlocked Orange Omnia 7 w/dev & interop unlock). It got to step 9 (Rebooting Phone) but at this point it got stuck in a reboot loop (white Samsung logo comes up for a few seconds, disappears and then comes back ad infinitum). I pulled the battery to shut the phone off and then looked around for a solution. The Samsung Device Update Support Tool was suggested so I gave that a shot. It applied it's update then rebooted the device and I'm back to a reboot loop.

Any ideas what I can do next? Is there anything I can try or do I need to take it to a service centre?

Hey,

Having a bit of trouble and didn't know who to ask, figured there are numerous people here who would know this... I wanted to set up a personal email address through Google using a personal domain.

Do I need web hosting along with this or would I just need to just buy a domain in order to set up some email addresses?

If so, can someone provide some web hosting options that would work to set up about 5-10 addresses with about 3-5 Gb/ea?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you try this from the CM7 wiki or in the threads where people had wifi problems:

Q: WIFI doesn't connect properly.

A: Issue should be fixed by CM7 RC0 but if issue still persists, make sure WIFI sleep policy is set to never. If issue continues, Use a file explorer with root write capabilities, navigate to /system/etc/wifi/ and delete "wifi_supplicant.conf". Reboot, you will need to reinput your wifi passwords if you had any.

5% in 18 hours and 15 min.

2.3.5 (XXKPG) stock with 2.3.4 (XXKP4) drivers and Juice Defender.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:
Well. a CPU Governor manages the CPU speed,

for example, governor ondemand: when idle 245mhz when any action happens on phone, 1400mhz.

another example, governor performance: always at 1400mhz (uber fast battery drain but high performance all the time)

smartassV2 has a more complex way of managing speeds, it adjusts the speed according to the actions on the phone. it's a nice CPU governor and saves you battery. I'm currently using interactiveX as CPU Governor and vr as I/O schelduler, also gives fine battery results.

Drivers of XXKP4?, Those are the same as the XXKPG Drivers because it they were different your device wouldn't even boot (except for gpu drivers)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:
If the "modem" part is the baseband then yes, else no
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjason:
To be honest, the meaning of baseband is eluding me right now (as I am kind of new in smartphones biz).

But what I did is to flash XXKPG and right after that the "SMD_MODEM_I9001XXKP4_CL374422_REV00_user_low_ship_EMMC.smd" part from XXKP4.

I did that because the wiki is stating that

- "MODEM/PHONE is independent of the OS contained in the PDA, making it possible to mix-and-match MODEM and PDA versions from different ROMs, sometimes jokingly referred to as "FrankenROM". This can be useful for example if a specific MODEM version has drivers that conserve the battery better. Currently the I9001 MODEM reported with the longest battery life is the one included in the 2.3.4 XXKP4 ROM."

and someone said in XXKPG dedicated thread that battery life problems could be easily resolved flashing MODEM from XXKP4.

The logic result is that the two parts are somehow different...

If I am wrong, please explain.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
no, but although i have manual sync, some apps use wifi across the night to sync stuff, and it gives me partial wakelocks (or maybe the wakelocks are not from apps trying to sync),anyways most of us have them, my opinion is that it is related to the kernel rather than a third party app (i tried betterbatterystats and found nothing interesting). As for ur signal, it's really bad, u should maybe try and use another baseband, maybe it suits ur carrier better.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
that's really impressive. but my opinion is that a smartphone without 24/7 connectivity to the net is not a smartphone in the full meaning, i use apps like viber and whatsapp and other stuff that require connectivity at all time, so when i'm not at home my 3G is always on. but i'm not concerned about battery usage when i'm actually using the phone, the main problem is the drain during standby, my gf has the same phone without the apps i use and she also has wakelocks and battery drain.

so i don't know if it's really kernel related.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
i meant the wakelocks are kernel related.

Other than the usual stuff that affect battery usage, battery consumption is also related to ur baseband, some basebands drain more battery others less, and afaik it differs from one device/carrier to another. from the pic u uploaded, u have a really bad signal (not sure if it's ur baseband or just characteristical to the region u live in), i wonder if u could recieve all ur calls and sms in time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.wtf:
i also talk about the wakelocks. they don't have much effect with 2.3.5 while with 2.3.6 they do.

and actually i don't have any problems with the signal. i can't find what the colors mean but i thought the color that overweights in my screenshot means something like "second best"
