[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Themen:
Hi!

I'm quickly familiar with download mode/recovery mode with my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) and Samsung Galaxy S II (I9100). I know how to go in download/recovery mode and use them.

A friend of me have a Galaxy S (I9000), which stuck on boot.

I see the Samsung logo with phone model, then the logo of SFR (network operator), and then the "S" of samsung. Then the phone vibrate, and stuck on it.

If I try to go in recovery or download mode : boot loop, I never see the download/recovery mode (even after removed the battery, ...).

Trying adb reboot download : error: device not found.

Odin can't detect the phone.

I really don't know how I can reset this phone and reinstall it :(

Somebody can help?

Thx!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangerot.:
You may try a "JIG". It puts the phone into Downloadmode while its turned off.(with a 301k ohm resistor on two pins on the usb-connector). A JIG often helped people who are not able do acces Downloadmode with the common combination vol- + home+power.. So maybe a JIG will be abele to save the phone :)

"sec-battery-adc" taking up kernel wakelocks causing battery drain, HELP PLEASE

I'm using Synergy v0.10 kernel, stock ROM. My battery drains very fast even when there's no usage. So I go into BetterBatteryStats and find that the biggest hogger that keeps the phone from deep sleep is a kernel wakelock called "sec-battery-adc".

I did a google search and find that the following people are also complaining about this problem in varies of threads. What's interesting is that they are all T989 users. No users of any other phones have mentioned this sec-battery-adc problem.

Anyone has any clue of what this sec-battery-adc is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tabii:
My guess is it's something to do with a kernel service/process constantly polling for battery voltage. I have asked a few times in faux kernel thread but got no answer.

Bullet is the only kernel that doesn't have this wakelock issue, maybe give it a try but make sure to use ondemand governer since the default lagfree seems to be bad on battery. It's a shame Bullet hasn't been updated for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
Yes I have seen this happening in Synergy kernel, Darkside kernel, everyone has this. Bullet is the only one that does have this problem.

This is really crazy. My screen on time is only 12 minutes and my wake time is couple times (all taken by this stupid kernel wakelock), causing battery drain.

Thanks for the guide on setting this up for linux. I just wanted to point out a small error in the instructions. The echo command above is incorrect and will not do what you intended. It should be corrected to

echo 0x1949 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

That will create or append to the file as necessary.
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
no adb_usb.ini file

Somehow the guide I followed for setting up adb/fastboot on Ubuntu did not create the udb_usb.ini file.

I had to go into android-sdk-linux folder on my home directory and copy the one provided with KFU. Only then I could use the echo command.
[Kindle Fire General] kinfauns:
This...

echo 0x1949 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

will definitely create the file if it doesn't exist, but only if the ~/.android/ directory exists (with the correct permissions). It won't make those directories if they don't exist. I'm guessing the .android directory wasn't there when you ran the command.
[Kindle Fire General] freefaling:
I read a lot of guides and did what they all said and ended up with a working adb command but my kindle was still not detected. At the end it was this thing that solved the issue.

I dont think I had that "android" folder (i did not unhide the home folder to check but since i setup the android sdk inside "android-sdk-linux" folder, i doubt "android" folder was there).

It's because of these tiny details I was sugesting that you, sir, create a how-to for setting up adb on ubuntu (only if you feel comfortable doing it, that is).

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] Lotek:
My OS is Mint 12, so same as Ubuntu (except for Unity and a bit of non open-source software) and setting up ADB was also a little bit more difficult than I anticipated. I don't know how other distros are.

The guide that got me most of the way there was this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19446284&postcount=62, and then I hit the same problems as the OP. I had to do a bit of mostly useless searching and reading before I found the entry provided by Gbhil and .adb/ devices made the legend "0123456789ABCDEF device" pop up.

I updated every platform in the sdk while I was at it, oops, must get that 4 or 5 gigs of space in my Home folder back sometime.

A kindle fire specific guide for Ubuntu would be awesome, I hereby second freefaling's nomination of you, Sblood86, as author of said guide, if you're into it, because you seem pretty good at it.
[Kindle Fire General] kinfauns:
Someone asked me about my Ubuntu setup last night and I thought that I should contribute back to this thread with the same information.

You can add another udev rule to cover fastboot commands on FFF so they don't have to be run as root...

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0100", MODE="0660", OWNER="root", GROUP="androiddev", SYMLINK+="android%n"

If you don't want to type the "./" before all of your adb and fastboot commands, you need to add their parent directory into your PATH environment variable. For example, (assuming you are using the bash shell) if you have adb and fastboot in your /home/<username>/bin directory, you want to define...

PATH=~/bin:${PATH}

or

PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

It just depends on whether you want your own binaries to be used before the system equivalents or after. Most people would probably use the first one to have your own binaries be the preferred ones, but either one should work for adb and fastboot since there are no system binaries by the same names.

If you don't want to have to do this for every shell you open, you can place the definition at the end of your ~/.bashrc file. If you need it for you your login shell, you also need to put it into your ~/.bash_profile file. If you don't want to maintain two parallel files with much of the same information, take a look at this link.

http://www.joshstaiger.org/archives/2005/07/bash_profile_vs.html

I follow the recommendation at the end.

Hope that helps someone.
[Kindle Fire General] Sblood86:
I spent something like 3 weeks trying to find the rule that worked with fastboot lol... thanks!

Your link is dead btw.
[Kindle Fire General] kinfauns:
Well it worked a couple of days ago when I made my post. It's not my fault it took you so long to read it. ;)

All it really said was to add...

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
source ~/.bashrc
fi

to the .bash_profile file so that it will source the .bashrc file regardless of the way you got to the shell. Then you only have to maintain the .bashrc file and only put login shell specific info into .bash_profile

I picked up another tidbit yesterday while engrossed in the whole CWMR bricking thread. Ubuntu has a plugdev group that's used for (mounting?) hot-pluggable firewire/USB devices... sounds a lot like the KF. The first user created on the system is automatically put into that group. Since most Ubuntu desktop are going to be single user machines anyway, that's going to be THE user for the majority of these cases. So, creating a androiddev group just for the KF is probably not necessary most of the time. You can just skip the addgroup and adduser to group commands if you just want to adjust your rules to use the plugdev group instead.
[Kindle Fire General] hortstu:
First I'm going to apologize for not being good with this stuff. Now I'm going to ask questions that will probably frustrate some readers. If you aren't irritated by them please help me out.

What is the entry provided by gbhil? Where do I get it? I thought I had adb in here but apparently I don't because when I run the echo command I'm getting "no such file or directory."

Can anyone dumb this down for me just a bit. Add the steps I'm obviously going to need as a newb?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire General] kinfauns:
The most likely cause of that error is you don't have a .android directory in your home directory. You'll need to run the following command before that echo command...

mkdir ~/.android

That will create a ".android" directory in your home directory (~ is shorthand for your home directory). Then you can create that adb_usb.ini file with the "0x1949" line in it.
[Kindle Fire General] hortstu:
Thanks for the help. Stuck again.

logged out and in. what is the name of the "platform-tools" directory?

OK found them and realize they're 2 directories. How to I write to 2 directories at once? I'm going to try one at a time. Looking forward to the elaboration on this.

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

ok followed all the steps except this one.

PATH=~/bin:${PATH}

PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

Seems like that's for people that not only know what they're doing in the terminal but spend a lot of time there.

Is there a way to confirm that I've enabled adb before I proceed?

Will I need to follow the latter half of these step everytime I want to enable adb or just the start server command?

Again sorry for newb questions and many thanks for the help.

Tried to push pokey's 9000 fb and it didnt work. I don't think I have adb enabled or something.
[Kindle Fire General] tedr108:
I'm guessing Gbhil is a user who originally posted this information, but not sure...

If you go into a Terminal program, like UXTerm or whatever, you simply type that echo command as shown. It will append the 0x1949 to that .ini file in the hidden folder (.android), so adb can see your device. Of course, this is assuming you have a .android folder. It should be in your Home directory.

When I was playing around with custom ROMs and recovery, my KF stopped registering at 0x1949 at one point. Just in case that is happening to you, plug in your KF to your Linux PC. Go into a terminal program and type lsusb. You will get a list of devices and your KF will be there somewhere. If it is not 0x1949, you will see the correct number. If you get a different number (0x whatever), run the echo command for that number, too. No problem having more than one id num in your adb_usb.ini file.
[Kindle Fire General] kinfauns:
Don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to take a step back from this and learn a little bit about getting around in Linux before you tackle this project with the Kindle Fire. If this is your primary OS, at least knowing how to navigate around the directory structures, how the PATH variable affects how you run commands, and many other things will be invaluable in your day to day use of the operating system. Linux has come a long way to being user-friendly, but it's still reliant on the users knowing their way around the command line interface... much more than the other two big OS's.

There are countless primers and introductions on the basics of getting around the unix/linux command line. I suggest you search for some and familiarize yourself with them.

In the meantime... the "platform-tools" directory the OP refers to in his post is part of Google's Android SDK distribution...

OK thanks for the help. Realize I should probably know more about this stuff.

Really want to root for the sake of swype and google store. Tough to commit hours to this stuff since I have a family and a job that is non tech.

I have rooted my evo but that was a while back. Seems a little more complicated on the kindle. Thanks again. Not taken the wrong way.
[Kindle Fire General] Sblood86:
As in; from your terminal use the 'cd' command to change directory to where-ever platform-tools is actually installed on your PC.

[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Did you read the article? In page 4 you can see that double the RAM without good software means nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] strollaco:
The Galaxy R has better specs but in the test wins Optimus 2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Even if O2X doesn't win in every category, it certainly wins in the price category. I bought mine for 326 eur and in the same store the galaxy R is 425 eur. Whatever the difference is in the test results it is certainly not worth 100 eur, in my opinion!
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
agreed, i too was considering the galaxy r a few months ago, but got the lg optimus 2x bcoz it was cheaper
[LG Optimus 2x] ShunSeb47:
Lets keep it simple and short, galaxy R if you want to stick to stock firmware with no oc .Optimus 2x if you want to flash custom tims and/or Oc!!

Btw o2x beats sgs2 @1.4 and 1.5 Ghz ;) with sgs2 at 1.4 and 1.5 respectively :)

Sent from my Optimus 2X
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Its hard to compare the sgs2 with the o2x because its gpu is only capable of rendering color in 16bit compared to the o2x in 24bit making any comparison completly pointless users of the sgs2 are tricked by the samoled display.

Even if i could afford the sgs2 i never would have got it, if i wanted overprised crap id have bought an iphone.
[LG Optimus 2x] zobodoor:
LG 2X is better because it's more affordable.
[LG Optimus 2x] black_mamba99:
many dealers back here in india have no stock of SGR,samsung have stopped production.

and those who have stock they are charging 23,000-25,000(INR)

SGR is good phone but was good only for 19-20k(around 400$)

optimus 2x is great at a cheap price with almost same features

Try un-installing flash 11 first? Also try cleaning all caches including dalvik.

I give my opinion about Launcher:

I am not positive about sammy's touch wizz...

I found ADW is the best one, its buttery smooth(makes use of hardware acceleration) compared to sammy's touch wizz(idont know wth it is).

ADW is customisable to great extent... looking at my friend's ipad i customised AppDrawer in that way(bcoz it makes sense to me) and also add gestures to homescreen(like swipe up to open/close dock, swipe down to open apps drawer)

I am great fan of COMPIZ's cube like workspaces on pc. Now ADW+MultiPicture Live is great with one wallpaper to each face of the cube:)

2.Download this -> http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=814994&d=1323778011 and put it on root of sdcard , so path should be sdcard/SDL/*.*

3.Put a disk image .img/.iso [(need to change setting in bochsrc.txt accordingly (iso not tested yet)] of any operating system in SDL folder and rename it to "c.img"(tested : win 95/98/XP ----------------Linux OSs like Knoppix/redhat etc can also be used)

4.Run Bochs apk from appdrawer. Let it boot (takes a while) and enjoy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Controls: (i forgot to post the instruction so thanks to HDD_x8 for posting this)

- It emulate touchpad on touchscreen and left/right mouse buttons on volume

- You can also click touch screen to generate mouse left button click.(this does not work everytime)

- Back = BackSpace, Menu = Enter, left-upper corner click generates TAB

- left-lower corner click popups keyboard

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

MHL to HDMI out tested and confirmed working (thanks to HDD_x8)

Use the attached bochsrc.txt to use a folder called "HDD" on your sdcard as a drive in windows.Replace the original bochsrc.txt with one attached below.If it doesnt work post in the thread.

If for some reason you can't get a windows version working or you face issues of crashing etc then remove/move your current SDL folder to some other folder and use the one attached below.extract it to the root of sdcard then install and run the sdlapp.apk (not bochs.apk)

For some reason i can't get the new update OTA the .1.11. I have the 32gb grey prime and it is rooted. I was able to do the update to ics just fine. I used the voodoo ota rootkeeper to temporarily disable root, then i upgraded to ics, then enabled root and all was fine. I also did the camera update. Everytime i go to check firmware update its greyed out. Ive tried temporarily disabling root and that didnt work. I've also tried connecting to my phones 3g network and that also did not work. My home network also didnt work. Ive read that it could be the network that your connected to which is why i tried those last 2 steps.
