Flash stock Rom again and try....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sannik:
tried it bro. its not even booting into recovery. just a blank screen when its in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Screw recovery, enter download mode and then flash via odin :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sannik:
i did that too...still the result is the same:(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Then I am afraid it means: motherboard replacement :(

Galaxy R back touch key not working

- Suddenly back touch key of my galaxy r stopped working, I did factory reset still it's not working. Please someone help me out ... Help will be appreciated..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Try to flash the stock ROM & see if that helps.

Did your handset came in contact with water recently ?

My friend had a similar problem long back on Galaxy 3, his both capacitive buttons had stopped working after his handset got a bit wet in the rain.

hey everyone!

i've been using ardatdat kernel for about 3 months and finally i diceded to buy an usb-jig and activate the 3g counter.

i've installed the kernel right i assume, running the steps to removing triangle/data counter steps as shown on forum, but i couldnt see green "erasing bla bla blaa..succeeded" thing somehow.

what should i do to activate data counter?

i searched forum about this but found nothing. i also it may not the right place to write this, but i am not allowed to post on android development page because i havent fulfilled 10 messages to write there.

thanks for your attention :)

btw, i love xda!

i also have another question :)

im using wxkga turkish standart kernel (which one is true i dunno) on android 2.3.4 and what happens if i flash my phone for example 2.3.6 xwla4 austrian rom? is there turkish support on every rom?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Presently i am using GLX-R ROM and i want to change my Lock screen (not Lock screen background) eg: I want to change my lock screen to ASOP style lock screen or similar one and i tried different 3rd party S/W but i haven't liked them so i want to make on my own, so can some please tell me where can i change this or from where i need to start please.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] enkelad:
is there some kind of a tweek for music so i can change song by holding longer volume up/down button?

so does it exist through some custom rom or is there maybe a widget...?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
i dont think there is some kind of mod like this for our device, but u can use some players which can change songs by shaking ur phone, there are free and paid apps in market giving this shake feature.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
I am using n7player which allows you to customize your Headset settings. I am currently using the long click to change to the previous song & double click for the next song.

So switch to n7player & check if you like its unusual but nice interface. Enjoy. :)

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] enkelad:
can someone confirm if on stock XWLA4 rom is missing gsm only option in mobile networks?

i only have option of GSM/WCDMA(auto mode) and WCDMA only :/
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Use these codes:

*#*#4636#*#* => Phone Info =>(Scroll down) Select GSM only => Done

If the above doesn't work then try *#2263#

( P.S. Use these codes carefully and don't play with the options in them if you don't know what it does as I won't be responsible for the consequences.)

Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] enkelad:
i found it through the first code but it doesn't seem to save the settings i change, when i check it again it's still gsm/cdma auto (prl) for preffered network type, under it is smsc: and some blank field, i don't see the way to save these changed settings

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
can anyone tell how to clear video cache ??

i mean, whenever you play a video(from stock video app) and if u simply press the return key in the middle of the video, it shows the status of the video of how much it has been played...

it stores the cache status of each of how much they have been played or how much playback is left.

To clear the cache u can simply watch the entire video back. is there any other option ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
use clear data option in titanium backup app, open titanium backup than click video player app and select WIPE DATA
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
on stock rom ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Did you try the second code ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] enkelad:
tried it also but when i change it, after a while, it restores back to wcdma mode. since this one is not ment to work on gsm only, i already flashed another rom :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
Warranty ??

Samsung India on twitter told me that my warranty will get void forever if i flash with stock Austrian ROM 2.3.6 . But a service center guy told it doesnt matter. I m confused. I m in India.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Lol that service center guy is good ! :D

Your download count doesn't increase if you flash any stock ROM so in a way its right that it doesn't matter.

But to be on the safer side its always better to flash the stock Indian 2.3.5 before taking your handset to the service center as that nice fellow may not always be present.

Hope this helps. :)

u mean that after flashing on first boot device take too much time to start?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Birki96:
Help!!!!!

Why does my device always dont boot after i flash ANYTHING?

I always flash back xwla4 after 5 min because im scared my phone gets bricked :S

How long does it take to boot after a flash like titanium?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
About 10-15mins

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
after flashing device takes time to regenerate dalvik cache and load system files so that it takes about 5-10 min to boot after flash.

(some packages like beats audio mod doesnt wipe cache partition so in that case device boots immediate like normal boots)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Birki96:

Ok i will try now!

Kies Problem

My phone was on Indian Stock 2.3.5 before i gave it to service center. After i got it back, it was on Indian stock 2.3.4 and when i connect to PC, Kies says Your device doesn't support software upgrading via Kies. What could be the problem and is flashing a stock HongKong/Taiwan 2.3.6 safe at this moment?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
You should have asked them why did they downgrade the ROM ?

You can either take it back to them or you can flash the newest 2.3.6 ROM available via Odin and don't worry it won't increment your counter.

Hope this helps. :)

2.3.6 Bugs fix?

Hey I'm in India and my Galaxy R (2.3.5, NOT Rooted) is really buggy. Sometimes the screen randomly goes off after a call, and won't start up.

After calls, or playing music, The audio suddenly goes off and I can't hear anyone on call or anything.

A restart fixes this problem, but it's really annoying.

I Googled my problem and most users have fixed theirs by Updating their phone to firmware 2.3.6 Taiwan OFW.

I'm not sure how this works, or whether the rom will work in India or not.

I've downloaded the rom from samsung-updates .com

I downloaded the 11/5/2012 Taiwan Rom.

Can someone explain to me how I should flash this rom? Is it safe? Will my phone get bricked?

Thanks in advance!

How to swap sd card and usb storage

Hi guyz i am using neo rom v2.0 i flashed it yesterday and i saw in the storage that my sd card and usb storage have been swapped plz help me and tell me how can i reverse this.

I am using Samsung Galaxy R
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
The switching of internal & external memory has been done with a purpose.

It has been done to increase the memory available to install games which require large amount of data to be stored on the phone to play.

If you don't want it just go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517974

Then replace the vold file in this ROM with the default one. That'll solve your issues.

Hope this helps. :)

Hey.. I was just browsing antutu benchmark scores and guess what I came across View attachment 1133230

I know we can change the rom version by changing stuff in the build but can someone fake the clockspeed too??? In the last post a Russian guy supposedly managed 1.92Ghz!!!

Also, I know the scores can be inconsistent but how did ardatdat manage to get such a high score? View attachment 1133233

Thnx

Thank u very much bro!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Maybe there is some glitch, that guys os shows 2.3.7 and 1.9ghz, well there is no 2.3.7 available for our device and I don't think it is possible to oc upto 1.9 :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
I hope it's a glitch coz I'm gonna smack that guy if he's selfishly keeping the working rom to himself.. Lol..

Proud to own a Galaxy R
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Bhavik Jain:
Probably 2.3.7 does not exist for us but that guy might be a dev and must be using his own rom and overclocking to 1.92 ghz is possible maybe not on our device but it is possible.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
AOSP 2.3.7 by Franz is available for Galaxy R but its not fully functional may be this guy is using it and i don't think we can overclock our CPU to 1.9 GHz because it will release high temperature and it will burn the CPU, even Ardatdat told once that we can not over clock our Tegra 2 CPU more than 1.35 GHz....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Bhavik Jain:
I said GALAXY R cannot be overclocked to 1.9 ghz BUT OTHER DEVICES CAN BE OVERCLOCKED TO 1.9 ghz
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
yea i think we all agree on that point that our tegra 2 will be fried at 1.92GHz..

but my original question still holds.. is it possible to fake a frequency when testing/benchmarking?

Because it wont make sense for someone to fake their device as GT I9103 and post on antutu right?? Also, I cant think of any device that can actually reach that speed...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
oho sorry buddy its my mistake haven't read your post fully :o ...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
which other tegra device can be oc upto 1.9? :p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
1.9 is impossible for tegra2 but you can find on youtube LG 2X with the same tegra2 clocked to 1.6 (I've read even about 1.7!!!) - that's phenomenon for me. (My S2 is stable on 1.5 ghz but it freezes immediately on 1.6 ghz)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
right, even unknownzd also confirmed that if it will be oc upto that high freq it will generate that much heat it will fry our cpu and nand memory.

i dont think there is need of oc, my sgr works butterly smooth on 1ghz. u use gs2 with oc or stock freq?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
CM9, AOSP & AOKP looks similar in UI and all are based on ASOP, so can some one please explain me what are the features of CM9 & AOKP over AOSP....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
I use stock frequencies of course: 1.2 ghz and sometimes I even think about underclocking to 1ghz to improve battery life. I use OC-fq only when I want to cheer my eye with benchmark scores ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
:D same here, seeing our device with ultimate numbers is very adventures.

does oc damages our chipset?

my thinking is it does damage hardware, if oc was safe and these chips can handle high values than why companies release with lower freqs, if exynos was made to handle 1.5ghz than y sammy sell its device with 1.2? why they dont show that their device is powered with 1.5ghz cpu.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
In Chainfire's interview with XDA TV he told Overclocking chipset will reduce the life time of the CPU and for your question why company's will under clock is to get good battery life and will be stable at that frequencies...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
Yup... Absolutely right... It's the same principle for our normal desktops and laptops..

Hi cooleagle,

sorry, mistakenly removed my own post.. after installing the neorom v2.1, could not see the internal storage (was replaced by the SD card due to vold.fstab.. rectified it), camera was not working (installed stock_kernel.. rectified), Gallery was not opening, asking to remove phone from USB storage mode (vold.fstab... rectified it). However, a new problem has come.. once I close the apps using the Task Manager and use the return button, it comes to the contacts screen and then the return button do not work... only using the home button brings the phone to the normal..trying to find the solution... did not get as of now... any suggestions please..

Thanks in advance
