Why can I not Paste a wireless key in that dialogue box when trying to connect to a network?

Long press just gives me 'select input method.'

Am I missing something? 63 characters is a lot to type...

I get that problem too but sometimes I can paste it. Haven't figured out when or why. Maybe it's rom related? I think on aokp I couldn't but on pacman I could? Maybe it's android version?

Does anyone have issues with crt off animation randomly and forever after not happening anymore? It seems every time I flash a rom it's there and some time later it's gone! I even made sure not to restore any data only apps. Last time I noticed it I was messing around in general ui in rom control. This has happened to me so far on pacman and hebmiui. I thought for sure I was restoring some bad data but now I'm convinced it's something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Aha! I changed window animation scale to .5x and that causes the crt animation not to work!

is there a difference

i cannot find anywhere else to post this and sorry in advance if anyone has already posted an answer to this question but i couldn't find it so. Is there a difference between "manual" mode, "reboot" mode and "downloading" mode or is there just three diferent names for the same mode? because when i attempt to enter "reboot" mode (power, volume down, and the home buttons) my phone just turns on, when i try to enter "downloading" mode ( power, 1 on the keyboard, and volume down buttons) again my phone only turns on, but finally when ii hold the (camera ,power, and volume down buttons) my phone enters "manual" mode so is there any difference or these all just different terms for the same mode? thanks for any clarification in advance

when i used my rooting software i was able to enter downloading mode and therefore have discovered a partial answer to my own question kinda feel like a dummy now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
k, gotta ask, wtf phone are you using? the sgs4g doesn't have a physical keyboard nor a camera button. only buttons it has its power, volume up, volume down and the soft keys on the bottom.

Not a stupid question per say but I didn't want to make a whole thread and clutter things.

I'm moving to T-Mobile soon and got a great deal on a used Galaxy S 4G.

What would be a good, stable rom to use for it?

I like the sound and look of SlimICS & Slim Bean but Slim Bean seems to not be 100% stable.

What simple ROMS would you guys suggest for it that are stable and not lacking any features?

Okay, recognizing the difficulties in ICS... (and no idea about JB) if I *must have* WiFi Calling, am I going to be on GB for the life of this phone? I know all the ICS dev threads say "This might never work," but I don't know if anyone is actually working on it... :o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Yes WiFi calling currently is a semi pipe dream. There is a bounty thread in the nexus 4 forums that the bounty is over 1100 bucks. They are trying.

Has anyone tried wifi calling with the proton kernel? Erik included a patch to enable kineto in his kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cooptx:
I believe the Team Fah-Q Edition of CM9 has simi wifi calling. It is really wifi texting because it reboots when calling.

Please correct me if I am wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
That's what the ICS Proton bits do... wifi texting, calling causes issues. Ah well... still closer than we've had with ICS until now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jhargis720:
i know this is not the same phone but...

i have a samsung galaxy stellar / sch-1200 from verizon, cant find a forum on it so i figured this would be closest hopefully.....

it reads internal storage as "sdcard01" and i also have an 8gb external sd card. the phone itself does not have an option to move app 2 sd card in the application manager.

ive tried app's via the playstore and still no avail. app2sd and others..

my question is.. is there an option somewhere in the phone that i cannot seem to find or a way to get it to default save items/pics/mp3s/ect to the actual sd card??

ive looked all over to try to find out some similar problems and cant seem to find any info besides actually swapping the external to internal and vice versa using ADB.... i do not have this phone rooted and wont until warranty is up. if anyone could point me in the right direction or inform me on how to change the storage settings id really appreciate it.

thanks in advance.

How come all of a sudden (last couple of days) my phone thinks it's in California anytime it's connected to my home wifi? Pretty sure I live in Virginia...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Did you move from california or did you buy your wifi router from someone who lived in California? When Google had their streetview cars drive around to take pictures they also had them collect MAC addresses (which are basically unique) of wifi routers in the area along with gps coordinates for where the MAC address was spotted. One of the uses they had for this information was to help with A-GPS (Assisted GPS). Google gives your phone a rough estimate of where they think you are based on the wifi router's MAC address to help the GPS chip on your phone lock on faster.

If the router you're using was in california at the time they probably have it down as if it's in California in Google's database.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JaimeZX:
Nope. Bought this router new in 2009. Only change is going from stock firmware to DD-WRT about two weeks ago.

But... on stock firmware *and* DD-WRT I cloned my (main) computer's MAC address for router use. And I have never lived in CA. :o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Maybe your phone's trying to tell you something. I live in Cali and it's 72 and sunny today. lol.

Turn location services off then back on and see if that does it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JaimeZX:
Okay, I'll try it!

But it's weird - on T-Mobile data (4G) I'm in VA. On WiFi, I'm in CA. :p

Edit: Possibly solved. Fancy Widgets had "California" as a default weather location, and "Use GPS" was un-checked. When I went outside and tapped "use GPS" it updated fine and all my (location) apps came with it. (Waze, RadarNow, etc.)

Recently I installed VBF and am very impressed. Ran great for two days.

Super fast. Saved me from buying a new phone.

Today my notification sounds don't seem to be working. I checked notification volume, and volume is all the way up.

The sound button at the drop down menu shows full volume. When I select them in the selections menu, they play fine. I have tried with Zedge and Android notifications, and nothing yet.

I get the texts, FB push notifications, etc, but no sound.

I booted into recovery and reinstalled thinking it would help. Still the same.

Any ideas?

So I made a booboo in the UMMU step of flashing, phone is now stuck in the start up screen. Is there anyway to get my phone back online?

Edit: Probably made things worse, but I tried to fix my phone by flashing back to stock with heimdall and now I get on bootup

" firmware upgraded encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again.

I have been unsuccessful in trying to get back into download.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Try using a one-click with root. Note that your phone will need to be in download mode for this to work. Just follow the steps in lumin30's signature, link 2... post 905 in here is from him. And it's linked as well...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zamorph:
Thats actually what I was doing but my device sat for 10 mins and never rebooted... now im stuck at this screen I stated. I also cannot get into recovery and download.... :C

Ok newb here. I have not messed with ROMs etc.. since my last phone (the AT&T tilt) so its been some time. Anyways, here are my stupid questions. Please if it has been asked before (I am sure it has) just shoot me a link to the answer (information overload on this site)

So, I am in a town with crappy service to begin with, but when I come back into town the phone many times does not even pick up a signal it will stay on the little no signal sign. How or What is the best way to fix this?

Also I cracked the screen, is it replaceable? Where would I get one? Can I do it myself (pretty skilled, not a tard)? Are there instructions how to (not trying to reinvent the wheel)?

Recommendations for any upgrades? ROM, Android, etc...

I was at the point of "time for this phone to go" but I figured there may be some saving it. GPS fix comig up.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] JaimeZX:
When I have signal issues (worse signal than I should be getting), I usually put it in airplane mode for about 10 seconds and then turn that off again.

If that doesn't work reliably, try flashing a different modem. Valhalla Black comes with KJ6 but that doesn't work well on my phone or my wife's, so we're both running KI3.

How bricked is bricked?

Howdy fellers, been messin with my phone and messed it up to the point that the puter won't recognize it now. tried all usb ports a million times, no go. I was trying to go from gb back to froyo. when i plug it in to puter, the usb sign shows up in tray and the thing sez unrecognized device. the port has worked before as well as the cable, so that's not it. was using odin to flash and it would flash to about 95% before it failed, now thrashed and won't recognize. Is my phone now a paperweight? LOL Lemme know if you have any insights, thanks, NukeT-Mobile too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Does it go into download mode? If so, it's not bricked and is recoverable.

Why in the world would you want to go back to Froyo. that's like wanting to downgrade from Windows 7 to Vista.

And why do you want to nuke TMobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] NukeATT:
Replyski

No, won't go into download mode, phone is black, no sign of life.

Why back to Froyo? GB won't allow superoneclick root. pain in the yaktabey to use image and image root tar, and when i rooted it when it was on GB and started deleting the bloat, it became very unstable, same programs I deleted in Froyo.

Why nuke T-Moblle? Those guys will say anything they want, make all sorts of promises but when it comes time to fulfill their promises, they are full of ****, just like ATT. Been with Tmo for 5 years now, but I still wanna just reach thru the phone and *****slap the people from loyalty dept. Nuff sed!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Super one click does work on gb.

Sales people don't lie, they stretch.

Have you followed lumin30's guide to the letter? There are only a couple ways to truely bork this phone (flashIng vibrant roms/recovery, unplugging phone while heimdall/odin is flashIng bootloaders to name a few).

SOC doesn't work in the latest GB, like the one the W phones came with. 9,567,356 attempts later on a stock 5 min out of the box confirmed that for me. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Seems like reinventing the wheel to me to use super one-click when we already have one-click rooted kernels with cwm... but I guess if it's about the challenge that's different.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
I don't have a W. So I didn't know that. It worked fine on my kj6, but it took forever. Always Sleeping abit..... haha

Yes, so very much quicker to just flash the kernel with everything already done for you (cwm, root, voodoo)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Probably goes here, but...

Any chance that the minimum CPU frequency can get dropped back to 100MHz? Gingerbread worked fine there, but our ICS/JB has 200MHz as its minimum, which means that anytime your screen is up and nothing major is happening, you'll be burning twice the battery. The official reasoning from the devs back then was that they never wanted to turn their phone down to 100MHz because they didn't like how long it took to wake up with their scheduler/governor settings. However, we're dealing with deep sleep working, the wake-up speed should be the same whether you're on 100MHz having just turned the screen off or if the phone has been in deep sleep for a while.

Just seems like it should be one of the easiest ways of extending the battery life back to near GB levels, especially as we're getting deep sleep and other battery savers back in. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
I'm on CM10.1 and OC'd to 100mhz. What are you using to OC?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Oh, I can set it to 100MHz, for about a minute... then it sets back to 200MHz, whether or not it says that the limit is 100 or 200. :) CPU spy tells me how long my phone is in each state, and when it's running at 200MHz for 2 hours and 100MHz for 2 minutes, I know which my phone is actually using as its minimum. ;) And then there was that whole response thing months back about why they didn't want to drop it back to the same level that GB used back when ICS was first getting started for us.

I've consistently had the same behaviour, whether using AOKP's ROM Control, the CM Performance settings, Set CPU, Voltage Control, No Frills CPU Control... All will claim that they're setting 100MHz as the minimum, but none will keep it there on ICS or JB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Get Android Tuner. They have a free version. If you like it spend the 10 bucks for the regular version. By far the best app I've ever used. It does everything. I was able to get rid of CPU spy, BBS, incridicontrol, and TB. My settings stick at 100 with screen off. The trick is to go to settings and choose 100 as the max voltage for screen off. Also make sure you set your boot settings to init.d

EDIT: Here's proof. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Eh, I used it a bit, but... it caused build.prop issues for me and wasn't saving properly, so I stopped trusting/using it and went back to my individual tools that work right reliably.

I'd love if we could possibly just have the kernel not force-override your settings back up though... :) I know I can lock the max screen-off at 100MHz, but I want that for my min when the screen is on too. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
My screen was on for all but 11 minutes of that run. That is when it was offline(deep sleep).:cool:

no voice input

Firstpost... I have sgs4g t-mobile carrier. GB 2.3.6 rooted, flashed antons with a twist kernel, flashed Valhalla Final from cwm installed with kernel cwm5, love it. Everything went of without any problems...beginner's luck and a lot of help on androidforums. Saw that valhalla black fb could be flashed without any wipes...super easy. Well, it did not go easily, wiped my sd by mistake...etc. anyway, it is all up and running sooo smooth. But i have NO voice inputs anywhere. Searches, keyboards, anything. I either get a mike with a red line through it., no mike option or a mike that says send. But wont record or records junk. I have been to settings/voice input and output, and it only lists a text-to-speech settings option. What could it be? Thank you guys for all the hard work, and such a great forum.

My IMEI is shot and I know I need to either use a one click to stock or restore my EFS folder. I also understand that Team Acid ROMs take a backup of said EFS folder. My problem is figuring out how to restore it from the .tar file that the Team Acid update script created from my EFS folder.

Long story short, how do I restore my EFS folder from a .tar file? Do I just flash it in Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
All the backups are under /sdcard/backup/efs[#####].tar

You might need to find a working backup since there might be a few of them once you've flashed MTD roms a few times. I figured in a situation like yours you'd like to have those backups handy instead of having just one that might be potentially corrupted.

This means that if one of the backups is corrupted, just rename efs.tar and efs.tar.md5 to something else like efs.bak.tar and efs.bak.tar.md5

To test another backup, let's say it's efs-123.tar and efs-123.tar.md5, you'll need to rename both of them to efs.tar and efs.tar.md5 for the script to work properly. Again, you need to rename the .tar AND the .tar.md5 since they're paired. The MD5 file is used to verify that the backup is good. The script won't even restore the backup if there's any corruption as a security precaution.

I've been meaning to make a zip that will restore it for you.

In the meantime you should be able to install script manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager

and run the script I've attached. You'll need to tap on "browse as root" and then when you select the script from the sdcard it will have an "SU" option. Make sure you turn that on since you'll need root to restore efs. If the script ran successfully you'll see a green 0 on the top left of the script output screen (white text on black background). Some error messages might pop out in the text but if the green zero appeared on the top left it ran correctly.

After you run it just restart your phone and see if the backup was good.

For anyone wondering it's basically a copy and paste from the updater.sh that gets used to upgrade the roms from BML to MTD.

None of us are actively developing for this phone anymore. I just recently (within the past 2 weeks) started compiling the roms and kernels for this phone again, but nothing too major.

I can't seem to get rid of TWRP 2.2.1.4 on my SGH-T959W.

There was another thread on here that said flashing any custom kernel would include CWM, but when I boot back into recovery, it's still TWRP.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
It depends on what kernel you're flashing, and if it uses TWRP or CWM. If the one you keep flashing has TWRP, try a different one instead. :)

Grab the boot.img from a different rom and flash it with heimdall in linux preferably or windows. I like command line better then gui
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Madein Cyberspace:
What if you grab a boot.img that has twrp built in to the kernel? Does the wiki even have an organized structure of kernels and there included recoveries? Much less what OS version they support? And while where at it why no touch recoveries for this phone? Seems like you have linux up and running. You should give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
TWRP IS a touch recovery. And we have a few CWM touch ones... they just don't work very well with our device, as they like to get stuck when actually utilizing the touch features. Ah well, TWRP works well. And hey, BeanStalk comes with Aries AND TWRP, so... fun combination. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Madein Cyberspace:
Your right TWRP is touch. I have always preferred CWM. Please point me in the direction of a CWM touch recovery for this device. I can't find ANY. So being more familiar with this phone help a brother out. Either that or your wrong and there are none. Enlighten me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cooptx:
Is that a challenge? XD +1 I can't find one either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Well then you must be right. Sorry, my memories of the CWM touch must have been lucid dreams. Because our developers never throw in fun versions of stuff without running it past you first. :shame:

Or, y'know, you could do what I did back then, which is flash just about everything and as you're staring at yet another CWM screen, see if running your finger on the screen in recovery makes stuff randomly happen even though it wasn't an announced feature. Or just accept my shameful apology. Either way, you get a fleeting feeling of pride and accomplishment. :)

Personally I'm just going to stay on Aries for now. But hey, at some point maybe I'll get bored enough to flash the 30 or 40 different ROMs and kernels lying around and see if I can figure out which have what versions of CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Madein Cyberspace:
I've flashed most of the ICS and JB ROMS for this phone already and still haven't found it. None of the GB ROMs should have it as they where released before it was. I might have missed it but I don't think there is one. Maybe I'll hop over to the beanstalk Q&A and ask beast if he can try and do one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] limeaide:
Ive never seen a touch version of CWM.

When touch based recovery was being brought to the sgs4g it was twrp and everybody thought it was the bees knees.

If you want cwm touch I suggest contacting the dev via pm and see if he/she is willing to build just a kernel/recovery with cwm.

Help them with bug reports to get it working properly.

Or just learn how to build yourself.
