[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vMarco:
Buh, so there's no way to change the frequencies it uses? :(

Sucks :( I can't use 3g (not 4g, 3g!!!) on my country
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
No you won't be able to. According to this page, these are the frequencies available on the phone:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_4g-3719.php

Your network will have to be running on exactly those frequenices to get 3G/4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vMarco:
I think that is wrong.. I have another carrier that works on the 850 / 1900 band and I CAN user their 3g (mostly because I can connect to the 1900 band..), but I can't use HSDPA+.

So:

with one carrier, Movistar, that uses UMTS 850 / 1900 I can't use 3g, it only connects to the EDGE network, and when I dial *#0011# with the GSM bands disabled it says that the 3g service is limited and I can't use it at all.

With the other carrier, Personal, that uses the same bands, I can use 3g on the 1900 band, but can't use HSDPA or the 850 band.

Also, from the #*#*193728640#*#* menu I can choose the UMTS 1900 band.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] inmortal009:
I've a similar problem the difference is a got 3G but not 4G and can't figure out what is going on. I'm with digicel and the only use 1900 wich is already enabled. I once tried movistar and had the same problem I suggest you another carrier

This's my problem:

Do not trust phonearena as it has wrong information about our device frequencies that it can use.

umts 1700,2100,1900

So basically no, you won't get anything else than edge on those 850/900 frequencies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwep:
Much to my surprise, I got a virus alert this morning on my laptop. There appears to be a virus coming from the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit 5.3

Unfortunately, XDA wont let me post to the actual thread of the toolkit so I have to post here.

Anyone else getting this virus ?

If you want a screenshot of the virus alert then let me know as I am not allowed to post "external links" even pics because of some rule on XDA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jericho7:
I'm sure it's a false positive, what AV are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
There's no virus in it if you downloaded it here. :rolleyes:

It's either a false positive or you downloaded the file from somewhere else and that website/file contains virus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwep:
Well, I downloaded it from the link in the forum HERE.

It most likely is a false positive so I am trying to find out if anyone else has received this notice.

I am using McAfee (yes i know but its a work computer).

Thanks for the help!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It would help if you told us what file it thinks is a virus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
I use Norton and when I've downloaded the toolkit it would pop up with some stuff, more or less just asking to verify if I felt the file was safe, since it pretty new and has a small user base there isn't much to go by for the virus scanners. I approved everything on my PC with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwep:
It would help even more if I could post the pic but since XDA won't let me...

First, it came up with Toolkit.exe was tagged as a Trojan and deleted.

Then it came up with another alert that modssection.exe was tagged a Trojan and deleted.

It does not tell me what Virus it could be only that their engine Artemis! has tagged it as a known trojan.

Malwarebytes is still running so far found 3 objects but can't tell what they are until the scan is complete.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Well if it concerns you, root manually. I don't like rooting toolkits anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwep:
Well, I am sure if it really is a virus it would concern more than just me. I do agree that manually rooting is probably best. I had used it because it was a quick and easy way to install the drivers on a touchy machine.

I will post the results of Malwarebytes when it completes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PeterGuru:
Not a virus ...

It's not a virus!

Anti-virus programs work primarily in two ways.

1) They know a potential threat directly, and block that program from causing problems.

2) They "think" they know a threat, and block a program based on historical information.

Your situation falls into number 2. Many programs could be completely innocent, yet be flagged by an anti-virus program. All the program is doing in case 2 is attempting to recognize a piece of code that it knows has also been used in real virus programs. When it sees this piece of code, it "thinks" the program is a virus, flags it accordingly, and let's you decide what to do.

Unfortunately, as I said earlier, innocent programs could contain this piece of code purely as part of their program, without any malicious intent.

Anti-virus programs are regularly up-dated with tens-of-thousands of these pieces of code, which are designed to help identify a virus. The operative word is "help." They don't actually determine it to be a virus, in the case of #2, they simply flag it as having information that was previously used by an actual virus program.

I hope I was clear enough.

Peter

Addendum: Here's an analogy ...

1) John has a history of criminal activity

2) John goes to a store

3) John robs the store.

Now let's look at these three points ...

Item "1" is method "1" in my previous explanation. The AV program knows that when it sees John, flag his actions as a virus.

Item "3" is also method "1" because the act of robbing a store is bad, so the AV program flags that action as a virus.

Item "2" is different. It falls under method "2" in my previous explanation. All three pieces of information are "fed" into the anti-virus program. One day the virus program sees the action of someone going to a store. It flags that action because the last time someone went to a store, there was a robbery. However, we all know that people go to stores every day without robbing them. It only flagged that particular person because their behaviour was similar to another person's behaviour who robbed a store.

You then have the option of allowing that person to continue with their daily activities because, in reality, you know they won't rob the store.

Better?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssmug:
I had something similar but for the Viewsonic GTab. I don't know if it applies here, too, but when you're using exploits to root, the AV program picks it up as malicious, which is a true positive since it IS an exploit, but one that you're aware of and authorized.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Of course it shows as a virus. The toolkit is designed to hack your phone. Your AV has no way of telling if you plan on doing it yourself, or it's malicious...

Try installing a key stroke logger. Your AV will no doubt warn you about that also...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Uh...

Nexus devices don't have to rely on hacks or exploits and if a toolkit is using one, it should not be used. Tolkits for it are just holding your hand and doing he steps for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
True, but the toolkit contains batch files and scripts which push files, which is exactly what AVs look for...

I wrote a toolkit for the N1 and my PC started to flag it as a virus pretty much as soon as I had saved it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SolidHelix:
Only started happening today (had this on my pc for months if not a year) but yeah, AVG is calling the following files a Trojan. See pic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
this is normal, just ignore it dont tell it to clean it. If you read this thread youll see others see it too and there are explanations
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonathanBarca10:
I thought the instructions say something about disabling your anti-virus to make sure it functions properly? Or am i smoking? Or did i just assume that?

Edit: just checked, and yes, there is in fact a NOTE in which it states to turn off your antivirus because its an unsigned and unrecognized by microsoft...

Dude...L2Read.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
Getting ready to sell a Motorola phone and dont have a Motorola charger. I do have and LG and Blackberry. I looked at the voltage, mah and it is lower than the Motorola. So does that mean it will charge slower or hurt because it isnt the exact same? Also a micro cable is a micro cable?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
As long as it's 5.0 volts, and at least 500mA it should be OK.

Just takes longer to charge.

Unsure as to why Motorola uses 5.1 volts, probably to err on the safe side with worn cables.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
Actually on my motorola it says 850ma. The other brand chargers say 500 ma

Anyone here have the update file for rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AdliHebat:
This is my guess:

Did you flash other recovery (e.g CWM) before applying the update.zip?

It happens to me before, the update.zip not working.

To do this, need the original recovery.

So if you can:

1) Flash back original 2.3.6 ROM

2) Apply the update.zip using the ORIGINAL recovery.

Then, you flash CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Frugi:
Cannot root?!?

Rooting my GT-I8150 on GB 2.3.6 fails with recovery method (sdcard), because I do not get to the recovery menu - instead it updates something straight away and then (without me giving a chance to read the few lines it writes on the screen) the phone reboots

(update.zip is in mnt/sdcard/update.zip)

Please help me root my GT-I8150 (my ultimate goal is to install a custom ROM/KitKat).

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
If you don't want to keep using your Android 2.3.6 and if your goal is to flash KK on your phone, then you might try this method:

Optional step: make a backup of your contacts, sms, calendar entries and whatnot using Go Backup Pro (you can get it from Google Play store). Or, if you're planning on going back to Samsung stock 2.3.6, after flashing CWM Recovery (see below), make a nandroid backup of the stock ROM (you can find the option under "backup and restore" in CWM Recovery).

Also, if you've got documents, pictures etc, you might want to make a backup of those as well somewhere on your computer, or the External SD card.

1. Flash this CWM Recovery using ODIN (+ Samsung USB driver, of course), or Flashify (you can get it from Google Play Store) or via ADB

2. Get the KK ROM and the Gapps from here and save them on your External SD card.

3. Enter CWM (long press Menu button + Volume Up + Power button until you see the CWM logo, then release the power button) and:

select "wipe data / factory reset"

go to "mounts & storage" and format /system. This is extremely important!

under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)

install CM11 (from the external sd)

install Gapps for KK (from the external sd)

reboot your phone

Same procedure can be applied when flashing any custom ROM (minus the first step which you will only need to do once).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] makankaki:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] herioeks:
Re-flash the Stock Gingerbread and use its Stock Recovery for flashing the "update.zip" file from internal SD card. No fail.

The idea is simple. Just tell what kind of videos you would like to watch about the Galaxy S or about Android itself. Any requests are noticed!

Current ideas found in the poll. Obviously.

Youtube channel can be found HERE

Please tell if you wish talking instead of

music/annotations in the videos.

I don't want to see answers like:

"I don't watch videos"

"What is YouTube?"

and so on.

[LG Revolution] Crasoum:
Call Recorder works well with just the generic 2 way call default and not the android API. Initially it did not seem to work till I reinstalled it, but I also restarted, and reconfigured, so it could be any number of things I can not quite tighten down. Total Recall does not seem to do so well, both with profile A or B, or fudging with any of the settings, it would not play any of the files it placed on my sd card, nor would the files play with vlc. It could just be me though.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkstar107:
Before I go wiping my device again in anticipation of getting the OTA ICS update...

I made a backup of my device when I was on the original Honeycomb build after rooting. I then switched to the Prime ROM. I'm assuming that I can just restore my Honeycomb update, get Root Keeper and install the OTA update. Am I correct, or is there something that will stop me from doing this?

Edit: Also, when restoring a backup using CWM, does it automatically wipe the device before restoring, or does that need to be done manually?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spookymonster:
I believe you also need to restore the original recovery. The last time I tried to flash an upgrade on my rooted stock image using CWM, it rebooted after downloading and rejected the (non-stock) recovery. I'm guessing the ICS update will require a reboot into the stock recovery as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gls9:
Indeed, no OTA update when original recovery is not installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeggen:
I looked around a bit and saw how to unroot and restore to stock recovery... is there an easy way to just restore stock recovery? My plan was to restore my stock backup (to get off revolver) and then can go from CWM -> Stock, I just wasn't sure how to do the last part without undoing everything and fully returning to stock/no root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadcspencer:
It's also very possible that Root Keeper will not work since this is a new firmware form the ground up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gls9:
OTA Rootkeeper do not work if the system partition is formatted. Which is not the until now. Also people reported OTA rootkeeper worked to get root back after ICS update.

Otherwise use vipermod option 1 to root on ICS.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mipr:
I just did exactly this. I had a nandroid backup of my original stock honeycomb so I restored the backup (I had some problems with the kernel after restoring from Revolver with some OC kernel, but flashing "plain" Revolver and then restoring the stock rom from the backup did the trick).

After that I made sure that everything is OK - I checked that I'm on the correct pieces of the software, in particular the kernel. All looked fine so I pulled OTA update, but before applying it I had to restore stock recovery. For this I used the stock recovery linked in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154947 Just downloaded it, placed it on my SD card, rebooted into CWM recovery and flashed it (pleas note - I only downloaded this single file, not needed to download any other files mentioned n the above thread since I already been on rooted stock rom).

After booting the TF again, I made sure that my root is backed up with Supercurio's Root Keeper, then I applied the OTA and after a few minutes I was happy user of ICSed Transformer.

Please note that what worked in my case may not work in yours though. So be careful, think twice, and keep in mind that it's your decision - your risk (and if something goes wrong - your brick ;) :p)

BTW, all applications, data, etc. are still in place. Root was restored via Root Keeper. Then I downloaded some updates of applications and so far I'm fine.
