TWRP has a thread for it. But it is only available for CM7, and the various ICS flavors. If you are on a stock based rom twrp is not available.

Blue bars are for full connection, while gray ones mean there is a partial connection or no data available. Usually gray bars mean you have to sign in to the wifi network or there is something wrong with the wifi network.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Not exactly correct. Blue means your hooked up to googles servers. Gray means your not. You still have data with gray bars but nothing will be backed up to google.

I'm pretty sure that the media hub service was discontinued. It really isn't worth it to try and get it to work. Just go buy or rent the movie and rip the DVD on your PC. A .ISO file would be higher quality than what came with the phone anyway. If you don't want to do all that, and you feel like breaking federal piracy laws, then go do that :p

What are they selling!? CHOCOLATE!!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
My dad recently updated to ICS (Thanks Team Acid) but when someone sends him a picture a box comes up that says download as opposed to the picture just being there like on my phone which also has ICS. Can anyone help me fix this? It's important as he needs the pictures for work.

P.S. Nothing happens when you hit download. Just says downloading and nothing happens. Checked his gallery for download pictures and nothing new was there.

Help is much appreciated!

If you are on stock, try pinch-zooming the screen. Put your fingers apart and drag them closer to each other on the screen. All the pages are going to show up and you can remove them by holding and dragging them to the garbage bin.

How did you solve it??? I have the same exact problem!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
Go to your System settings and hit more under the Wireless & Networks tab, hit Mobile networks and make sure Data enabled is checked. Should be the first option.

Now hit download and it should download in 10-30 seconds no problem. Hope this helps!

Question about AntonX's "Basic with a twist" kernel...

I flashed it a few weeks ago and have generally been very happy.

(Note! Check your camera settings after flashing a kernel! Mine reverted to 640x480 and I didn't notice until I got home from vacation... :( )

Anyway. Do I need to install a UV/OC manager to get the Über battery life people have reported? I'm guessing so after two weeks of otherwise apparently normal battery life...

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
Seems as if your phone still thinks something is plugged into the headphone jack. Have you tried rebooting your phone? That should work. Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Offering help is always appreciated but please read the post again and rethink your suggestion. The poster stated it persisted through a rom flash so I think rebooting can be ruled out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
I quoted the entire post, nowhere does it say it persisted through a ROM flash. I appreciate constructive criticism but please read the post again and rethink your suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
You mean like that nowhere? lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
What? I don't see him saying that he flashed after the problem occurred, so how could it have persisted through a flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Could be hardware related if it is persisting through a flash. I would flash back to stock then check. If it's still not working hardware it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
Wow! My apologies! No idea how I failed to see that! Must be having an off day. Sorry eollie.

Ok, time for my stupid question...

i haven't been on for awhile due to the fact that i found a job to occupy my time...ever since i rooted my sgs4g ive been on anton's barebones rom...my phone has been acting wanky the last few weeks and ive had to reboot a lot and fix permissions...my question is, has there been an update for this rom...i would contact the dev but seeing how i dont feel the need to disturb the man with mindless questions i thought i would ask everyone else...?

if you dont want to clutter the thread with this i will gladly take replies in my inbox..sorry for the stupidity but its just been awhile since ive been in the game

i want to make my own gremlin remover, based on my current settings

BML @ EXT4

no MTD

AntonX's Barebone KJ6, blastoffv2 kernel. thinking about getting the modem out of Valhalla black... simple

it doesn't seem like i could include any more than the 11 listed partition labels in heimdall

so i will just try find the 11, and rip them?

i'll try through phone terminal, and through adb terminal, both will be ripped to external sd card

is my plan bad?

i know the .pit has partition information, i would like like to know how to view it.

ls -lR /dev/block

gives lots of results

all of the paritions in the dev/block?

cd proc
cat partitions

what does this list? cataloged partitions?

mount

lists of mounts

is there a better cmd line that i can use to retrieve the available partitions?

i thought it was mostly driver/OS issues which are the "variables" between heimdall and odin

thomas mentioned something of adb not reading partitions right on the computer from the phone, is this part of the "variables"? because of the cables or port? or is it the android debug bridge itself, reads data on phone wrong, which then sends to computer? or does it get messed in the transfer process? adb reads correctly, transfers correctly, jumbled somehow through cable/port(DOUBTFUL). i dont know too much about hardware, but i dont see how usb cables can differ other than usb 1.0/2.0/3.0, voltage through cable is limited...i can grasp how the usb ports can differentiate; motherboard ports, extension ports?

BTW: i flashed the heimdall one-click i made. worked like a charm. was i just lucky? considering i used adb terminal to copy phone partitions to the sd card? i dont understand the problem, is it the adb cmd or the actual transferring of blocks from phone to computer?

i guess i need to clarify my actual QUESTIONS, and im not demanding they be answered

QUESTIONS

it doesn't seem like i could include any more than the 11 listed partition labels in heimdall so i will just try find the 11, and rip them? this is based on my personal extracted .pit

the .pit i extracted from my phone has partition data, which i can see in heimdall, yes, but the number it gives me per partition, how do i associate that with the data output i get from the adb cmds

which cmd shell is most appropriate for partition information, phone or adb? why?

which code(s) would be most appropriate to VIEW/LIST the necessary partitions to pull?

ics slim

i flashed ics slim mod successfully. but, after mod i lost 4g connectivity. i have wifi but, it says no service with the 4g connectivity, i backed up all my settings and data and even restoring them doesn't make a difference. i tried reflashing both by flashing the common files first and second. either way no success. is there a new modem i need?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fingolfin14:
Someone else may be able to answer more completely, but as far as I know, this has not been a common issue with that ROM. Just to be clear, are you actually getting an error when trying to connect to 4g, or are you just not seeing the "4g" label near your signal icon? If the latter is true, that's a known difference with AOSP vs. Stock ROMs. 4g will still connect, but displays as "H" (referring to HSPA+).

If you are truly not getting 4g service, I would suggest either obtaining and posting a log in the Q&A forum for Slim or using a one-click to flash back to stock and making sure your 4g is still working properly. If you want to try another modem, you can try

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
It wouldn't hurt. Try System Tuner from market. Start by UVing in increments of 12.5mv. Once it's stable for a day drop another 12.5mv. Make sure the set at boot settings are turned off until you find stable values for your phone or you'll end up with a phone that won't boot into the OS. Don't OC at all if you just want battery life.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fingolfin14:
Which ROM are you using the kernel with? Back when I was on Valhalla Black with this kernel I didn't have any OC/UV settings applied and I was getting up to 48 hours with light to moderate use. However, with battery life it always varies from person to person.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Overclocking is a performance thing, in general. Increasing the processor speed will generally increase power consumption.

Undervolting may provide a modest improvement in power consumption. While it possibly could be on the order of 10-20% of processor power, when the phone is on, the display is typically the biggest consumer of power.

The long run-times reported are generally a result of the phone being able to "sleep" as often as possible, as well as using the various radios as little as possible. BetterBatteryStats is easily the best tool for determining if your phone is sleeping as much as it could be, as well as providing god hints about why it may not be.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
While a great tool for finding wakelocks BBS in not as good to see your sleep time. For that purpose I really like CPUspy. Shows all CPU states and how long each one is being used for. I keep both of those programs on my phone at all times.

Samsung Galaxy s 4g help

Hi I am sorry for this noobish question. I am in the process of rooting my Samsung Galaxy S 4g SGH-T959V Model for T Mobile running 2.2.1. From what I read the best way is to use super 1click right? When rooting will I lose all my contact info and sd card info when I root? Btw I plan to stay on the stock rom for now. I tried to research and read thru other post but I ended up getting lost. I suffer from ADHD o I kinda need the simplest answers possible. Once again very sorry about the question and any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The current up-to-date stock ROM for our phone is Gingerbread 2.3.6. You should consider using that over Froyo. Read the first link in my signature for help updating your ROM through Kies and rooting. Super One Click will not wipe anything from your phone.

How do I get from ICS back to Gingerbread?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iSaif:
How do I go from GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ5 to GINGERBREAD.UVLF4?

I know both are 2.3.6, but their is a huge difference between the two.

I have 2.6.35.7 kernel and I want to go to 2.6.35.11 basically.

Is this even possible yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Mainly out of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish?

Are you on a Wind T959W? As far as I know, there hasn't been a update for the T959V since GB was first released.

Most people here aren't on stock ROMs and there isn't much development work on GB these days as the custom GB ROMs have been pretty stable for some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iSaif:
I'm on T959V, I want to have the same ROM as my Blaze 4G (T769) because it just looks/feel ways better.

I tried a custom ROM for 2 days, I couldn't get used to the theme since I'm used to the stock ROM theme.

Thanks for answering.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Ok, so you want a ROM that looks like your Blaze then, not a different kernel. Right now the SGS4G is running on 2.6.35.7 kernels for GB and ICS. I'd look at Barebones and see how you like it and adjust from there, or from FB's Valhalla Black.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iSaif:
I just flashed a ICS ROM and my phone is stuck in boot loop. I tried flashing back to stock 2.3.6 with ODIN, but when it finishes I get all these invalid argument errors (can't mount data...). I read that I need a PIT file, but I have no idea where to get the right one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I personally would resolve it with the back-to-stock GB from the Heimdall One-Click thread. If you're running Windows, read the thread carefully about drivers, Java, and Microsoft C++ executables.

Then you can follow the directions for CM9, which, at least in the past, was about the most robust for going from GB-style partitioning (BML) to ICS-style partitioning (MTD), assuming you want to try ICS ROMs (which, I think you should at least try for a bit before settling on GB).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iSaif:
I'll try that right now.

Thanks again for all the help.

oo I have a stupid question!

It's kinda stupid for me to ask a question since I just busted the hell out of my SGS4G from dropping it, and am stuck with a Vibrant. (shudder*)

BUT.

I was looking around the Vibrant forums and found a link to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&highlight=vibrant. I was wondering if this is possible on our phone. Has anyone experienced it?

I was planning on getting the Nexus 4 when it came out and using this phone as an mp3 player, so I was reading up on flashing ICS to it when I no longer needed it as a phone. I may still revive it, cuz this vibrant suxies.

Also, an off the wall question- The process for tricking the phone into thinking that an external sd card is the internal storage intrigued me because our phones have crappy internal storage. Is it possible to just switch it following that process to allow for a "larger internal" storage? I don't know if this would have any real benefit, which is why it's probably a very stupid question :D

Thanks for y'alls help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
On the SGS4G, the filesystems are mounted long before any user-editable and persisted files are available. You really want things as important as /system and /data to be mounted early in the boot sequence and not remounted later on. Te files that control this are in the boot image, not on /system or /data that you can easily change.

When you have apps on your microSD, the Android system manages them, not in the same way as the kernel would if they were "native" on the filesystem. This works since the Android system is the only "user" of those apps. If you watch logcat when your phone is starting, you can see it finding each of those apps, "unpacking" the app and its data, and making it available to the Android system.

The /data partition, on the other hand, has a lot of "low level" information on it that is needed early in the boot process, including to even start Android. That one reason why things like apps2sd only move the apps, not the whole partition, to the microSD.

As a dev that builds my own boot images and is comfortable with command-line manipulation of the filesystem and boot image, I'm running /data off an ext4 partition on the microSD "natively" rather than using apps2sd or what have you. I have been considering making something available, but the bottom line is that making a change like that is about as disruptive as going from GB/BML to ICS/MTD -- it isn't a "flash-and-go-and-go-back" kind of thing and with the number of people messing up their SGS4Gs by improper flashing, I'm shying away from the inevitable support that would be required. Once you switched to "MTD-EXT" then you wouldn't be able to easily flash another ROM without some fancy work.

Another problem with this is that unless you have a good Class 10 microSD, your phone might be terribly slow. Even some of the brands with name recognition have absolutely horrible performance. In my experience, SanDisk and Trancend have been good, Patriot and Samsung have been pretty bad, as far as speed goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LadyGlockenspiel:
Cool, I obviously don't know much about this stuff, but I love to learn the little snippits here and there. I figured the speed problem, but didn't know how efficient it would be as another place to store part of the file system. I was really happy with Ravers VB so if I ever get my phone up and running again, I'll prolly just use that. Thanks for the info jeff.

I just realized I wasn't very clear with my first question. I meant has anybody encountered the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen on their ICS ROMs? I was worried about that happening if I decided to flash an ICS ROM later on. Like I said though, I prolly won't go through the hassle of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I've looked at the device-encryption code but haven't heard of anyone either using it or being abused by it on the SGS4G. If it were an SGS4G problem, I would think someone would have mentioned it.

Can I use the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 with this phone?

You can use any sdcard up to 32gig. No particular brand is excluded from working. However some of the lesser known ones might fail a lot sooner.

Thought so. Just wanted to make sure that the UHS-1 thing wouldn't be an issue. Thanks. :)

No Texts Sending

Hey, I'm rather new to the forums and I was wondering if anyone could help me. I recently flashed Cm9 on my phone (which is on wind btw) and for some reason I can receive texts yet I can't send any. I can also call just fine. I've tried changing the SMS centre number but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone please help me?

Another question; also at the beginning of flashing a ROM, YouTube and other videos play fine, but later the video never shows but the audio plays. I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue, but I doubt it. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: nevermind; I've solved it. I flashed the KG4 modem, put my sms center number again (thanks to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979564) and rebooted.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
I want the phone to make a sound when I plug it into the charger. How do I do it? I tried putting charger-connection.ogg in system/media/audio/ui, no dice. Is there a different file name? A setting I missed? A missing lib?

Edit: forgot to mention I'm on aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I thought i read that but to err on the safe side I stated 32. Would have hatred for somebody to but a 64 and be pissed because it didn't work.

As for the charger sound i think within the ROM it have to have the trigger turned on. Iirc the stock rooms had the ability to toggle it on and off in sounds so unless aokp has that trigger it probably won't work.

That said I do know if you plug into car charger when the phone is at 15% or lease it makes a sound.
