It most definitely works for me.

You need to check a few things. First check that your APN's are well configured. Mine were were automatically right after i inserted my sim card. Go to Settings, More..., Wireless n Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names (APN). I have one specifically for MMS's there. You may need to check your settings with your carrier, can't help you there.

If that's cool, you need to enable data. Go to Settings, More..., Wireless n Networks, Data usage, set mobile data on. You can also do this from the notification toggles if you've set them up on ASS. Very useful.

And that's it. Now try sending/recieving an MMS. I'm using handcent, not the default mms app though. If things are working, you shoud see an E or an H (depends on what kind of network you're using, 2G or 3G) and some arrows above your network signal icon.

How do you backed up your EFS folder?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fdragon:
absolutely no idea :D

i think some rom i've installed did it automatically :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
Copy it to your pc ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fdragon:
i've already have a backup as EFS.tar, i just dunno how to flash it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
Well you should be able to extract the efs folder and copy it back to its location, how come you need to restore it?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kaynpayn:
As for backing up the EFS, the easiest way, i think, is just browse with root explorer to /efs and copy the folder to the external sd or something. Then just plug in the usb cable and copy that to your pc. It's rather small too. I keep like 5 or 6 copies of this around my 2 computers, dropbox, and external sd. Just in case :)

Having root permissions is needed to check /efs 's contents, of course, but that's a given if you're on slim anyway.

Anyway, here is a very detailed post explaining how to's. There's also a link for an ADB method which i think applies when you don't have your phone rooted.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859914

I've also seen a document explaining how to rebuild the /efs folder from scratch if you didn't backup and screwed it somehow. However, i saw it on a different forum and in portuguese. A light search didn't bring it up on xda but i'm guessing it's around here somewhere as well.

It's here. If it's needed and you can't find it elsewhere and are not confortable with portuguese i can help translate it, it's my main language after all :)

Bit of a nightmare yesterday. Playing drums along to some music on my phone, a track got stuck. Ok reboot will fix that right? Wrong. Complete failure. Couldn't reboot, couldn't get into recovery, nowt. I eventually found I could get into download mode so had to give up on my nice stable 3.9 with semaphore and upgrade to 4.2 & semaphore 1.2.6s

Have to say, now I've done it, it seems very rapid and very stable ! Wish I'd taken the plunge earlier!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Higadeb:
I was tempted too. But thought better of it. I'm still trying to work out what the problem was though? Maybe wifi doesn't turn itself off in sleep? Anyway, I'm sure they'll come back & let us know.

Seems like the mobile gods have done you a favour to me ;)

When I get to upgrade my phone at the end of next month I'm going to donate this old fella to my mum, I've actually gotten enough confidence in Slim & Semaphore that I might give it to her as it is! (I was going to revert to a stock GB ROM, ergh)

My paper plane is the best for t this, you can calibrate it on the fly(literally!)..... to be serious, I read of someone with similar problem, but as we don't have all the Samsung secret codes I think the consensus was to flash back to gb, calibrate, then come back to ics, and no idea if it would work anyway!

Today i had a phenomenon.

I thought it was not possible to have usb connection to pc while

fast charge is on.

See screenshot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nieohl:
thanks for the reply. well i've tried that before. but since you'd have to wipe going ics, then it will be back like this.

Did you actually manage to turn on copy files to/ from computer or is that just the initial recognition message?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] skodaslx:
I didn't tried to copy something.

I onyl saw the message.

But a few days before I also turned the fast charge mode on and i didn't get

the message.

What i did today was:

I charged with fast charge on, disconnected and turned the phone off, replaced the battery with another one, turned the phone on and plugged it to the usb cabel and get the message about usb connection.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
Hmmm, sounds a bit dodgy, would advise against trying to connect, may cause damage
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] NightmareCC:
We should REALLY report you to the mods!

Or kill you directly!

The second option sounds better to me :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adytum:
I agree, better safe than sorry. It can't possibly work anyway, since fast charge reserves the data connection path for more power.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
I'm just wondering on the outside chance it would work, if trying a calibration with my paper plane would carry over outside the app, there is a free trial version if you want to give it a go? Doubt it would work, but worth a try!

Ok. Thank you both.

Before i try to connect next time, I will turn off fast charge and reboot before connecting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fdragon:
for god's sake REMOVE in the installation instructions that you can use an ICS kernel like semaphore instead of CM9, it's bulls***. If you don't use CM9, you will corrupt your IMEI, and you will not even be able to restore it (even if you have the backup!).

Instead with CM9 it was a matter of a few minutes and everything was working fine!

just to let u know, use CM9!

I did it with semaphore last night, had a problem after flashing the i9000 file with lost recovery but just flashed semaphore in Odin again and all was good

you need to remove your sim card, flash a modem, boot to desktop, switch off and insert your sim. if you want to youse kb3, flash kf1 first as base and then kb3.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elburo:
Ok buddy (read first and then ask)

But, well, ok.

1. Download your favourite launcher and install it. Mine is "nova launcher prime" . Then press Home-Button and choose the new launcher as default. Then go to homescreen menu button apps all apps search lightning and delete it

2. I think so.

3+4. Delete NS tools and reinstall it from playstore. Same for ota. (Nstool: maybee a "clear ns tool settings" is enough in recovery mode)

5. The sd card js not in external sd. It is in emmc. Download root explorer.apk or oi manager.apk to get to your sd card

6. Download mx player.apk

Thatt's it? I hope so.

Happen to me as well a few weeks ago, flashing from gb without going throw cm9 lost my imei, I went back to gb to get it back. But after some time I realize that I did a format system in mount and storage after flashing the ics kernel :banghead: so I never knew if I lost the imei because of this or because I didn't use the cm9 method.

Hello.

How i can check why my phone doesn't go deep iddle? When i reinstal my rom (erase all, and install JVT -> ICS 333 -> slim 4.2 + devil, still have this problem. Sometimes, phone gets to deep iddle for 5 or less minutes, and later only iddle. I use nstools for set deep iddle on and check stats. In stats have 2xxx ms for deep iddle and 1xxxxxxx ms for iddle.

Wich app show me what wake up my phone from deep iddle?

It doesn't matter wich kernel version use, problem is stiil.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] darkcheater:
I've given up on this phone here.. I even tried it with the kernel cleaning script..

As the phone works flawlessly under GB, everytime I flash ICS (tried 3 different ones!) even the CWMRecovery gets laggy and the system (without modem) is laggy as hell.

When I'm on ICS, the modem is missing, I can't get it back by flashing any of the given modems and yes I use the right ones..

The only way of getting my baseband back is going back to GB..

What could be the reason here?

Is this maybe the wrong place to ask?

It might depend on the requirements of your carrier, but I've been without an IMEI for well over a year now, and bounced from ROM to ROM with no issues as of yet, on my Captivate.

Not suggesting that people shouldn't backup their EFS, but it doesn't appear to be the end of the world if you lose it, at least with Rogers Wireless in Canada.

Really out off ideas here, maybe someone else can help. Maybe re download every single file you are using to flash just in case something is corrupt in there.
