I noticed on my GF's phone with contacts with assigned ringtones from the sd card that at least a third of the time her default ringtone goes off instead of the assigned one. I attributed that to sluggish sd card interaction. Maybe it is similiar for you. I reformatted her card once and it was better for awhile, then started again recently.

Hmmmm that is something I will try Kenny. So far so good the notifications have been playing normally. We shall see though usually within a day it happens lol.

So far so good Kenny my notifications have been coming through flawlessly. I guess installing Go SMS pro on my internal memory made a difference. That might be the culprit.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Awesome. Maybe there is a reason why some newer phones don't have sd cards and have memory built in. The interface causes issues sometimes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyc78:
Yeah that is very interesting, I hated flashing different roms and themes and such lol and going back to different ones. I am very satisfied now, I finally have my phone at full setup to how I like it and I am getting very nice battery life from Clean GB. I got 19 hours with four hours of screen time over the past day all on a stock battery. I was never getting near that on CM9.

my phone has randomly rebooted this thing is brand new and i already took it back o0nce and got a new one and the new one is doing it also

it happens when using aDownloader torrent app for android but i only happens on juggernaut and i think it has to do with the kernal

does anyone have to stock kernal flash able so i can use Juggernaut with stock kernal i like the features of the rom but cant handle the rebooting and possible damage happening to the phone

I ended up pulling my boot.img file from my backup and droped it into the juggernaught rom and reflashed works great no reboots now
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntelQC:
Hi,

I managed to brick my Samsung Galaxy S I9000M.

Was locked on Virgin network (Canada) and I was trying to root the phone and then unlock it.

But something didn;t work properly (or I made a mistake) and now the phone keeps rebooting. I can go into Download mode but nothing more.

This is what I did:

1) I installed Odin 1.85

2) I started ODIN as admin, I pressed on PDA and then I selected a zip folder called

"CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS"

3) This is what ODIN was showing:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> zImage

<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/003> RQT_CLOSE !!

<ID:0/003> RES OK !!

<ID:0/003> Completed..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

<ID:0/003> Removed!!

5) So after waiting 5-6 minutes (in this time the phone was rebooting up to the Samsung logo) I turned off the phone and I have tried to start the device. But is not starting anymore, it keeps rebooing.

Now I don't know what to do to fix it.I know that I made a big mistake, I was not supposed to do something without knowing what I'm doing...But now it's too late, I have to fix it.

Note: The phone was running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avis77:
if its in boot loop then look like it's only softwoer brick.

so if you can get in to download mode by 3 bouten combination greate you can try to reflash (I will try all so to redownloading the files)

if not than you must find a JIG or some one with a JIG to get in to download mode and reflash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Rose:
The version of CF-ROOT you selected is not compatible with the version of GB (UGKG3?) that was on your phone.

If your phone had UGKG3 installed, there are very few rooted kernels available for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason123420:
Is the latest speed mod kernel compatible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntelQC:
Yes, I can go into download mode.

How can I reflash the phone ? Which kernel should I use ?

Sorry but I'm new in this.

If you give me some links that will be great.

I don't want to aggravate the situation :(.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Rose:
If the OP has/had UGKG3 installed, I have found that to be the oddest ROM I have used to date on my phone.

It does a lot of things differently.

I made another post on here where I attached a basic rooted kernel for the UGKG3 ROM. Let me go find it and link to it.

Again, this is assuming it was UGKG3. Ma Bell has only released one GB ROM for the GT-i9000m, so I think it's a safe bet that's what the OP was running on his Virgin branded phone.

EDIT: Here it is: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21655532&postcount=492

This will give you a basic rooted kernel, no CWM or anything else, just root.

You'll also need to download Superuser from the Market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntelQC:
Thank you.

Now how should I install that kernel?

I suppose that after I reflash the phone it will start normally and then I can go to the Android market and install Superuser from there?

Is there a link with instructions (Step by Step guide)?

Sorry,but I dont have too much experience with this:(.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuanGomez:
I found this in the General thread, it has links and step-by-step instructions:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Rose:
Open Odin, select the zImage.tar file as PDA. DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER SETTINGS.

Connect your phone to your computer and wait for the ID:COM box to turn yellow.

Press Start.

Your phone will reboot and it should start normally.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntelQC:
Thank you very much !!!

My phone is fine now. It's rooted and I managed to unlock it using Galaxy_S Unlock + SuperBox from the market.

Thanks a lot :).

This is what my phone shows now:

Firmware: 2.3.3

Baseband version: I9000UGKG3

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000UGKG3sj0829.kwon@SEP-08#2

[Windows Phone 7 General] trh1341:
I am thinkingabout buying a Windowsphone 7 device from at&t in December when I can upgrade. My inspire 4g may not be able to run jellybean this year and I am tired of androidbeing sluggish and fragmented. I love the simplicity I can see in videos of windows phone and with the titan 2 starting up the ne let featurein windows phones I think it would be a good idea for some change. !*BUT*! I am worried about when Apollo comes out my phone MIGHT not be upgraded and I would be stuck with an old outdated phone for a year. I was also wondering what kind of hacking community there is and what kind of hacks there are. If somebody could post all of the pros and cons of windowsphone compared to android and the hacking comunity

To restate my questions I want to.know:

1)what are the pros and cons of windows phone compare to android

2) what kind of hacking community is there for windows phone and what hacks and mods are there

3) will it be upgraded to Apollo(I know that no one can say for sure but there are some sources I'm sure that have an idea)

Thanks in advance for any replies
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
Well the hacking community on android is much larger than the one for windows phone, and plus there are not quite as many things that you can change in windows phone as you can in android. Another problem is that if you get a second gen windows phone you will not be able to unlock it unless you get a Microsoft developer account, I think it is called an "app hub" account. Even then there will not be many things that you could side load onto your phone. The only gen 2 windows phones that can be unlocked are the Samsung ones, from this one opening called "windows break". The pros with windows phones are simplicity, no lag over time(my android experience, fast in the beginning slow over time) but the cons are the customization of the phone and things like that. Well there is a large chance that all windows phone will get upgraded to Apollo, but they wont have all of the features that the Apollo devices will have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trh1341:
I know the development community is small but would you mind giving an example or two of the changesyou can make...it seems good enough jump right? Would you recommend switc? And thanks a bu.ch for the help!
[Windows Phone 7 General] EgoMaximus:
I think it's too early for you to post if it's 1 year from now on.

You really mean December?

As far as I understand, latest gen WPs will have the highest possiblity up upgrade, Lumia 800-900, Titan II

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

I hated android up to 4.0 and it still sucks for me, too much lag, fragmentation, piracy concerns over Google, etc. Yes, not a fan of Android in general so hard to not be biased.

I think WP is the new king of innovation, it was Apple with the original iPhone first but not they just sue and copy.

http://www.winrumors.com/microsoft-flattered-with-apples-ios-5-windows-phone-features/

TL;DR WP is simply beautiful, snappy and intuitive
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ireyn:
If it's hacking and modding you're looking for, Windows Phone isn't your ideal OS--you want Android. You're not going to get custom ROMs and a wide selection of homebrew root-user apps on Windows Phone. That stuff doesn't exist.

If, however, you're looking for a cohesive, refined, "authentically digital" user experience and interface, Windows Phone is the place to be. It's beautiful and fluid in ways that Android will never be.

And if you're looking to develop, Windows Phone is a great place to start. It doesn't have the horrendous up-front cost of developing for iPhone, and it doesn't have the fragmentation/emulator problems of developing for Android. The emulator works great, and if you want to publish to the market or sideload onto your phone, it's only $100--free if you're a student!
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
well the cons for windows phone are simply that it isn't as customizable as android is and also currently does not support USB mass storage ,this has been a problem for some and may be a problem for you but I haven't really missed it because of SkyDrive and how it's integrated into the phone. Mass storage will be even more unnecessary with win8.

The pros are that it has more integrated services than Android does out the box and that it doesn't need 4 cores to run smooth and stable. It also provides a top notch, innovative and beautiful experience. All phones especially the ones that shipped with mango will be updated to Apollo. But since you won't be upgrading till December I'm sure there will be phones around that time with Apollo pre installed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Why is this the new chant "4 cores to run smooth"? It is not even true.

trh1341, would you be able to run through what exactly you use your phone for now? What apps do you use? Features? Are you looking to buy out of contract or on a plan?
[Windows Phone 7 General] trh1341:
Well I don't do to much...I have a couple games but other than that I really only listen to music and look aroundon the internet I sometimes stream music...I really just. Need a phone that runs smooth and can get me throughthe day when listeningto music with SOME web browsing...can windows pho.e do that well you think?
[Windows Phone 7 General] fleon888:
For that? Yes, WP is perfect for that. Internet browsing is fluid and quick- there's no lag in scrolling or zooming, the download speeds for pages are pretty equivalent, and IE is actually a stunningly good mobile browser.

For music streaming, you can stream from Google Music with an app, from Skydrive, or - if you want a real premium service, Zune's streaming is the best out of all the mobile ecosystems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trh1341:
How much is skydive and zine? Sorry for all these dumb questions

I am hopingthe titan 2 will be out by December:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
SkyDrive gives you 25GB for free with 50 (or maybe 100MB) file size limitations. I believe this is free and you will be able to access your content and stream this way.

Zune's Music pass is $9.99 subscription based service for streaming music. I have never used it but I hear good things from users.

The Titan 2 seems like quite a large phone for that purpose. And I am not sure what kind of battery life that phone will achieve.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
I have a titan 1 and get about 17 hours life out of it. That is using the internet, texting, exchange mail, hotmail (both pushed), Comcast, and 2 other email accounts checking every hour.

For streaming. There is also a pandora client although not official, tune in radio is simply awesome as it will find all your local radio stations for any city, it includes an fm radio in every windows phone, don't have to subscribe to zune, you can also just purchase music which also syncs to your pc, slacker radio, iheartradio. Lots of music choices.

For fun, - I lol'd, that's what she said, the chive, and urban dictionary rock + all have live tiles.

For weather - i am now using a paid app called amazing weather which has animations. Weather channel is really good for free and so is accuweather. all have live tiles to show you current weather on home screen without opening app.

Games - where to start. Yeti sports is fun. Splinter cell. Need for speed undercover and hot pursuit. For free - titan rocks. I still haven't completed it.

Windows phone has trials for most games so check them out.

Messenger . Video chat - facebook is built in along with windows live, twitter and link'nd in

IM+ is pretty good as a multimessenger. Skype although it's beta and contacts must be loaded from the pc version. Tango works pretty well also.

Facebook also has a seperate client.

Forward contact is cool. It changes your business card into a QR code that any phone can scan in using a qr reader.

Barcode reading is built in although there was a few it couldnt find. Shop savy makes up for it and is free.

Keyring - scan all your grocerie cards in so you don't have to carry them

HTC flashlight - Since windows phone voice opens apps, this rocks. press the windows button and say start flashlight and it will come on. Great for finding your keys when you forget to turn porch light on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trh1341:
This is probablyone of the most complete answers I have ever seen! Thanks very much! I want the titan 2 becauseof the lte
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
Perhaps I've missed something but: if you're waiting until December, then Apollo should be out by then.

In which case you'll know whether or not the current phones are being upgraded and you'll know what newly released phones with Apollo pre-installed are available.

[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Ty

The titan is my 2nd windows phone. I have been using windows phone since pre nodo when it was released. My original phone was a surround which i still have. My wife sold her iphone because she was trying to cut our bill down and since i got my titan for a penny, she has been using my surround to play games and check facebook - She doesn't like technology though so she still won't stick her sim card in it and use it as a phone (without a data plan) but windows phone is slowly winning her over with the ease of use and games that are the style she likes (she plays the simple ones)

If you are waiting on the titan 2 though ... i would suggest getting the nokia 900 instead. Screen is a little smaller... but Nokia is top notch in quality. I love my titan, but if i could get a Nokia 900 with front facing camera and clear black technology (look up what that does and you will see why) I'd trade my titan in, in a heartbeat.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chrisizzle492:
i agree with the guy above me, nokia is the way to go and their phones are just beautiful, plus on a biased note i cannot stand tablet sized screens.

i was in the same boat as you back in october, but i knew it was time to switch because i just didnt have time to hack and mod to have android run smoother. android is such a hassle, i regret ever wasting time with it. wp7 is so convenient and smooth. zune pass is great if you want to find great music haha, i find like 2 new artists a day.

so based on your daily uses i would definitely suggest wp u wont regret it. and go for a nokia device not htc, they have started to make crappy phones over the past 2 years.
[Windows Phone 7 General] enyaj:
I actually get great battery life out of my Titan too. At the end of business day, I have about 70+% battery life remaining. Thats heavy texting, mid to heavy calls, mild games and mid to heavy use of music.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trh1341:
The Titan really has no front facing camera?? Thanks again all of you! I will probably go for the Nokia....same size screen ad my inspire

whoever says we don't have bootloader must check first that we do have one.. but samsung don't lock bootloaders like others do ..

thats why sammy devices are easily hackable for roots and other things..

your pc can't boot without bootloader and same is case with phones if i am not wrong
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
My friend got se xperia neo v, and unlocking its bootloader is a pain in the arse. Se do provide official way to unlock it, but after doing it the official way the warranty is void forever, no way to revert back and relock the bootloader. Eventho got unofficial hack way, its risky and can hard brick the device in a blimp. From my experience helping him unlock the damn thing bootloader, i'm glad my first android device is from samsung, and i think my next will be samsung too :)

Here is a new bootanimation that a buddy of mine made :D I am using it for my DoomZday rom but I wanted to share it with all of you!

Looks cool! DLing now!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] glad4pie:
Just wondering, is this cwm flashable? Also, why is it 117 megabytes o_o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 10tonhammr:
Don't mean to step on anyone's toes but you can just change the desc.txt to play the part0 segment on a loop, instead of having 5 parts that are exactly the same, thus making the bootani 5x bigger than it needs to be.

480 800 25

p 0 0 part0

0 value instead of 1 indicates that it should loop instead of play once.

Sweet animation though. I was using the original back when I still had my Atrix.

Hope you don't mind, but I tweaked it down to size, and dropped it into a CWM file. Now about 16mb. Tested it out and its working fine.

Laser Cut Bootanimation- CWM Flashable

Another alternative would be to keep the part0 segment, add a part1 segement, and have just the very last image of the animation in the part1 segment. That way, instead of the animation getting cut off part way through the next loop when the phone boots, the animation would play once and stay on the last image (the final cutout of the android).

Desc.txt would be:

480 800 25

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

1 value for part0 telling it to play once.

0 value for part1 telling it to loop that segment. With only one image in that part, it would just keep that image on screen until the phone finishes booting.

My apologies to the O.P if I was a little too gung ho in posting any of this. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thephoneguyusa:

The GSII boots too fast.. you probably need to decrease the number of frames to speed up the animation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thephoneguyusa:
Agreed it is an awesome first boot animation! Wipe the Dalvik cache and check it out that way! :) I will work on making it smaller
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 10tonhammr:
Try upping the framerate from 25 to 35 fps. Removing entire frames from an animation this detailed will probably have a noticeable effect on playback quality.
