GALAXY R KNOWN BUGS & SOLUTIONS:

3G / 2G Mobile Data count applications don't function correctly.

Can be solved by using a custom kernel which has this bug fixed.​

Date & Time of the handset changes randomly even when it's set to update automatically according to the network.

Go to Settings => Date & Time => Uncheck & then Recheck 'Automatic' to re-sync with your carrier's / service provider's time & date. No known solution which permanently resolves the issue.​

The person at the other end can't hear you at all / Headset Jack bug

Sometimes after unplugging your headset you experience problems while making a call, usually a reboot solves the problem but sometimes it doesn't. It can be identified by the following symptoms: When you're making a call, the person at the other end can't hear your voice but you can hear them clearly / you pick up the call then you can't hear any voice & the person can't hear you either.

It's most probably a software bug as the handset thinks the headset is still attached to the handset & routes the call as if it were being made when a headset would have been connected. But in some cases it could also be due to a hardware problem i.e a faulty 3.5mm headset jack.

To confirm if this is the problem you are facing:

- Plug in Samsung's headset & make a call to check if you can communicate / talk with the person at the other end normally & without any problem.

- If you can talk normally then it's confirmed that it's due to a software bug if not then it could be due faulty 3.5 mm jack.​

To resolve it:

- Update your firmware to the latest version available even though it may not be for your region as it could have possible fixes. i.e (ZSLE5 / ZSLE6 / Latest firmware of any region)

- Plug in & out the headset a couple of times while playing music till it gets resolved i.e when the firmware understands that the headset has been removed & then it'll work normally.

- You can also take it to a service center where they could replace the headphone jack & may also reflash the stock firmware which should resolve the problem if it's due to a faulty 3.5mm headset jack.​

Hi,

We can capture the screen by pressing power and home button at a time, can you please add this.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
Possible reasons

1) Your camera shutter sound is silent

2) There's a setting which allows silencing of camera shutter

3) Build.prop tweak

So shall i say that its goin in deep sleep ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Could you kindly elaborate a bit ?

If I understand correctly then you mean to say that when you put your mobile on standby / lock your mobile for around 30 mins then it disconnects the Wi-Fi. But as soon as you unlock it then all the notifications pop up & it also connects to the Wi-Fi at the same time. Am I correct ?

* If yes then:

- Check your power saver / Wi-Fi settings if you have configured the Wi-Fi to disconnect after you lock the device.

- I've observed once / twice in GB that my Wi-Fi was disconnected after O locked my device but as soon as I unlocked my device it reconnects but I can't reproduce it normally.

- Now as you're using ICS build then so there's a chance that it could be something new in ICS but I doubt that. If you can reproduce it more than once in a row & over a few days then it can be confirmed that it's something new & is limited to ICS.

* If no, I haven't got what you wanted to say then kindly elaborate.

Hope this helps. Cheers ! :)

My oryginal stock rom was 2.3.4 (Poland) so I flashed XWLA4 (2.3.6) after some time and since that day I didn't flash anything else. Now I want to try smth new and better. I would go for Adam's CM10.1 but I need daily rom with full working basic features (I don't care about FM radio only ;)). Which rom give me better user experience in comparition to XWLA4? Smooth scroll, fast response, etc. Can be 2.3.6 or 4.*, I can flash some new kernel also.

And can't wait for almost fully working 10.1 from great Adam and other peoples who help him with fixing issues ^_^.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
For that, choose any ICS MOD ROM i.e. Selva's Mazel 2 ROM or Vrajan's BBROM. For next level, go to CM10 by adam which is 95% working.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
I would suggest you to move to cm10...

its almost functional with all the basic features...!!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Rejwen:
Thx guys, maybe I chould try CM10, but I hope for fast fix for HD video recording and sound :). But I have few question if its not a problem :P.

1. What is nandroid backup? :D Is it a way using CWM to do a backup?

2. Should I install any 4.0 rom at first or I can flash CM10 over my 2.3.6?

3. To flash CM10 should I use CWM? If yes then which version? I got 4.0.0.2 atm. Or I have to use Odin?

4. Later Wi-Fi fix and Google apps should I flash via cwm (flash zip file)?

5. When (in which stages of installation) should I do wipe? (factory when phone is running(?) / data, cache, dalvik-cache from CWM)

Is this the only moment to do that? Or before flash CM10 I should do that also?

EDIT:

6. Flashing P.A.C-Man (I know its based on CM10) instead of CM10 is a good idea atm?

7. Whats up with themes? I heard CM got a Theme Choser or smth like that and CM users can download tones of nice and free themes. Is it here smth like that?

Thx for help :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Here are ur answers:

1. Yes buddy cwm backup is also named nandroid backup. It can b done using cwm.

2. U can directly flash it over GB.

3. Yes for flashing cm10 u must use cwm. V6 would b better.

4. Yes gapps can b flashed via cwm.

5. It must be wiped using cwm.

6. Yes buddy pac rom is based on paranoid, AOSP and cm. So its better option to flash it.

7. Yes buddy theme section is in theme and apps forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33724457 and u can download and install it then can select from setting->themes.

silent camera sound.

I'm on stock firmware for india based on 2.3.5 (latest available here) and when i turn the phone to silent mode with or without vibration, i don't have any camera sound! I have only recently rooted my phone and haven't changed any system files or tweaked the build.prop or anything else.

As far as i can remember, the camera sound wasn't there (when i put the phone on silent mode) even before the root! :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Thanks buddy, but I was thinking of a permanent solution whether you are in silent mode or not it shouldn't make any sound.

Dude can you try the method which EmoBoiix3 has given in his first post, in which you'll have to modify the build.prop and reply if it works or not?

It would be very helpful for others buddy. :)

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Hi,

Well i have a doubt. I dont know wether its off topic or on topic.

I want to ask all Galaxy R owners that, how long does the battery last ??

My problem is that when i purchased d fone, i dint follow the proper charge cycle i.e. i had charged for 40-50% and den again started using it. Due to which my fone lasts for a day to 18hrs...

My usage includes 2-3hrs of music, 1hr of call, Edge On for entire day, 2hr of game play.

So i wanna ask that if i follow proper cycle from now on, will my battery last for more time ??

and can any one suggest a good battery extender ?? upto 3000mAh (one like s2)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Don't you think that's pretty good for an Android handset ? :rolleyes:

I think the battery charge cycle should come into play quite later on, not now as your battery is as good as new.

The battery charge cycle helps in retaining the charge holding capacity of the battery and increasing the overall life of the battery in the long run and not help increase the charge retention at present.

If you are on stock then to increase the time your battery lasts you can remove the Samsung bloatware which you don't want and you can also use some of the tweaks which Emo has given in his post eg. wifi scan time cycle.

Hope this helps. :)

Whats the best way to charge the battery of this phone so that i get the maximum battery life n charge as well??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
1. Ideally it should be charged only when its completely discharged i.e. Discharge the battery completely before connecting your charger to the handset.

2. Keep the battery away from moisture i.e. Indirectly keeping the handset away from moisture.

3. Do not over charge the battery e.g. Keeping the phone to charge overnight even though it'll charge completely midway during the night.

There are many more but at least practice these basic ones. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] sarun_biotech:
The 1st point is actually a myth with regards to Li-Ion batteries. everytime the battery dries out completely, it loses some of its capacity to hold more charge.

The best time is to charge between 10 to 20 %

more info on here. I'll find the other souces and post the link here..

They advise us to completely drain the battery only once in few months.

How do you remove bloatwares from rooted stock 2.3.6 (Is it only through adb?)? (I flashed Titanium V2.1, but its crashed few times, so went back). I do have autostarts to tweak the start of apps on events such as bootup/wifi enable/disable etc. But, still there are lots of waste running when I go to the tasks :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Rejwen:
I'm on stock Austria 2.3.6 rom now with changed CSC and I would delete/uninstall useless apps from rom via TitaniumBackup or another way. But which apps can be safety removed? I don't need Social Hub, Readers Hub and other crap. But I mean also other default apk like (digital) clock, live wallpapers, stock browser, music and movie player, Street View, AccuWeather, sticks, other widgets and useless stuff.

And no, I dont want to install custom rom atm. Many other apps I would want to remove anyway :P.

Maybe some list nice list of apps which aren't needed to system work?

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
I discharge my battery till its 5-7 % and only then connect a charger.

I was just doing that right now. Infected does not have a crash with the same steps where it was crashing with Titanium. Infected has stock kernel from 2.3.6 Thailand.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
I don't think there would be any differences in the kernel as both have the same version they could have the same kernel.

kindly help
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
You are talking about the external sd card, right ? If not skip to Case 2 directly.

Case 1:

It may be corrupted but we can't be sure of it as its accessible from your handset.

A format may solve the problem but first backup your data that's stored on the sd card. Here's how to do it:

1. Make a backup of your data in your internal memory in parts and store it on your pc.

2. Once you have backedup all the data in the sd card ( Warning: It may erase all your data on the external sd permanently so make a backup before you do this)

Format it using the handset itself, it should solve your problem. Go to Settings => Storage => Format SD card.

_______________________________

Case 2:

If it's the other way round that your internal sd is not accessible on your pc but is accessible on your handset then first backup all your data in your internal sd on your external sd and store it on your pc.

Next format your internal sd using the handset. Here's how to do: (Warning: It may erase all your data on the USB storage permanently so make a backup before you do this)

Go to Settings => Storage => Format USB storage.

Do update here on the progress.

Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] abu46:

by backing up data of ext card do you mean to say simple copy paste the data??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Yes that's what I meant. But make sure twice that you have made a backup successfully & completely before you format. :)

reader, then insert the card reader to your

2) use a data recovery programme to recover the data, then format the sdcard and restore the backed up data
