I found that website some time ago while looking for an actual carbon fiber wrap. Never done it but after watching the videos it looks fairly easy - except for the fact its semi-permanent so if you make a mistake you may need to find a new back cover! :eek:

b) Test GPS functionality.

c) Root it (dear gods, I would HOPE root tools would be available seven months from now! :D)

d) Quite possibly put an alternative launcher on it depending on how frustrated I get with Touchwiz.

e) If a good Cyanogenmod build is out by then, might just throw a CM9 version on there :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anil76:
How do I "clean" my phone after flashing different roms. I explored the contents of the root directory ('/') and I could find the files/directories which I suspect are from earlier roms that I had used.

I thought flashing stock rom through ODIN would delete everything related to previous rom but looks like that is not the case. Should I use reparttition option in ODIN with pit file to achieve this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
What i do when i get to this point is copy everything off internal sd card onto a folder on my pc and format internal sd card. Then do all the normal clear data, cache, dalvik, init'd and ns tools and finally flash new rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
You'll want to go into CWM prior to flashing and format /system as well as 'wipe data/factory reset' (this will format the rest). Optionally you can format the sdcard, but with the above you'll have a clean system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anil76:
I understand sd card formatting & WIPE (data, cache & dalvik). But what exactly is init'd and ns tools ? how do I do this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anil76:
Thanks..I believe format /system will format /system (i.e. cleaning up system directory in root '/'). Does it mean that I don't have any other leftover in the root directory ( '/') ? Every thing that a rom & kernels install will be wiped after formatting /system ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
If you don't format sd card you still going to have those left over folders and files from various roms and programmes you have installed and removed. This stuff isn't necessary to remove but thought that is what you were asking about.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Essentially, /sdcard is the only thing you don't need to format. Apps store files here, but they aren't within the system and won't affect performance if they're left over. You can manually delete them if you no longer have the app, or you can backup things to keep and then format it as well.

Otherwise, you'll want to format everything (except for boot).

Init.d is a folder which contains scripts that run at boot. Wiping this prevents problems that may occur from leftover scripts. NSTools is an app that has settings that run at boot, such as overclocking, undervolting, etc. It is also advised to wipe these settings as to avoid conflicts when flashing new kernels, ROMs, etc.

But formatting /system and wiping data/factory reset (which formats the rest of the Androids operating system) will allow you to have a clean install of any ROM. The leftover app files on /sdcard are negligible and can be deleted.

Yesterday I updated my Note with the new ICS stock ROM. And last night I noticed now the Google Currents app displays the first three pages formatted nicely as usual, but all the following pages were just a long-running vertical scroll list. I un-installed and re-installed Google Currents and even removed and added the news source again. Still the same.

I googled on this issue but didn't find anything useful. Has anyone experienced this issue or has a fix? Or this is a ICS compatibility issue?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] usmcunk:
I am having an issue with odin 1.85. Two days ago I had flashed my Skyrocket to the leaked ICS. I had done so by using the one-click method. The flash worked out great but now I am tring to flash back to stock. I am doing this because I did not do my research enough and found a better flash to use.

When I plug the phone into the computer it is reconized and all the drivers are installed. Odin sees my phone and the correct port it is connected to. I have clicked PDA and picked the stock rom like I am suppose to. After I put the phone in download mode I plug it in and wait for odin to reconize it. Everything is working the correct way up until odin tries to flash. I keep getting the " Can't open serial (COM) port" error.

I am not new to modding phones. I have done this for many years I just have not ever posed here. So before I get the usual responses, I have uninstall and reinstalled all the USB drivers, Kies, changed USB ports, and had downloaded Odin 1.84 & 1.85. None of these common fixes help. I have also made sure that Kies is not running while I am tring to flash.

Any help would be great. Thank you ahead of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
When you open Odin, are you right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator"? If not, doing this might help.

I've had this happen but I found that it usually works after a few attempts if it fails at first. Or, another common solution that you didn't mention is trying to do it from a different computer.

Also, which stock tar are you flashing? There are a few versions out there.

The best one to use is found at http://www.sammobile.com (open an account if you haven't already and search for the i727 firmware).

Software Version: LG-P999-V21e

Bionix Version: Bionix Reloaded v1.4.1 FINAL

I received a LG g2x from ebay and tested it over wifi and it ran wounderfully. I installed a rom and customized it prior to receiving the sim card. No problems.

Once I Received the sim card I put my 32gb sd card in and moved over the files and everything was fine until that night. That night brought random shut downs, boot loops and restarts when I plugged it in. Even more weird is I plugged it in left the room while it booted up then I heard music playing walk in my room to find the phone playing 1 or 2 songs on the sd card playing. no icons to indicate music or anything it was just playing. When I unlocked the phone it stopped.

I restarted my phone again to just be safe and all seemed fine until morning when I find out no text messages were going through. another restart fixes that.

I figured I prob should format my sd card, once I got to work I backed up the stuff and formated the card. now I will just have random restarts (seems to be memory dumps) which im used to since the Droidx did it all the time :\ but now the only problem I seem to be having is with the Browser. I will be googling somthing and waam the browser shuts down and when I open it back up nothing is there. I have cleared the cache and everything

Anyone else having these problems? and did it occur AFTER the sim card?

[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
I have performed many APN, ROM, and baseband experiments and have successfully routed out every variable contributing to signal loss on data, voice, drop call, and signal blackout. I can produce a full detailed on this if anyone wants. Will just take me some time to collect all my data.

To the limits of not be a Dev nor a coder I believe the issue is with how the phone handles frequency changes based on signal strength or data. There must be a code or script that tells the phone to switch to a lower band if the primary band is below a certain strength. If there is it can be changed to allow the band to be switched more effectively automatically if any of the Lowe bands exceed the primary bands signal strength beyond a certain tolerance. Thus insuring a constant signal strenght between all 3 bands that can be used automatically. The function is allready there and in use but it needs to be found and hacked.

This is where the Devs we rely on come in. The above is all theory and is the limit of my knowlage of how it works. Its the Devs that can take this idea and realise it. I am fairly sure this is the direct cause for the majority of our in call problems. I would be more than happy to vigorously test this and offer full reports if given the chance. If I'm wrong and I'm barking up the wrong tree here let me know please. I want to help but I really don't want to lead anyone the wrong way.

[LG Thrill 4G] colbur87:
Thanks for taking the initiative on this. I have a couple questions:

How did you collect your data? (Not looking for a detailed answer, just a quick rundown)

Did you use a control?

So, im a little confused on what your looking for exactly. Are you asking if there is a way to hot switch the base bands on the fly automatically when signal strength is low?

I am interested to see what you have, but want to fully understand what your looking for.

Colbur
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
The majority of my data is notes. As a control I used the stock baseband, stock rom. Completely cleaned the phone of any app and used it solely for phone called during the day. I noted the signal strength changes when traveling in and out of various coverage zones. 2g 3g 4g . Made note of how long it took to change then moved again. Seemed very erratic in how the phone decides what signal to use. Couldn't seem to understand why in some cases it would stay on a 4g band when a 3g was twice as strong in the dame spot.

So after changing roms and apn's I cunducted the same experiment with the same average results. Used the same rout and time in stops.

Changed baseband same rom. Same experiment. Got the same average.

Changed baseband and rom again. Again same results.

I think the problem is how the phone decides what band is best at any given time. If its set to pic a band with a higher data rate then it would stick on 4g even though a 3g signal is much stronger. How often it changes is also an issue. Polling to often will drain the battery and depending on how the variables are set it will swing rapidly across bands while in use. It would be great to crack open the files that decides this so we can tweek it to fit our geographic location better.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
An update

This specific behavior is in direct relation to the Baseband. While the APN is dealing with credentials the baseband in our case determines the hand shake and frequency from quadrant to quadrant when rolling past towers .

The other eminent and probably the most important is the refresh rate of the network. The more frequent its set to refresh the more it uses battery . If its set to low then you loose signal more often.
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
I'm assuming that this is going to be for a particular region as where I am, I never have experienced the issues with the phone as others have.

Detailing your region and the exact method you used to test this would be a good idea as well, that way others in different regions can test it out and see if they get the same results.
[LG Thrill 4G] pandaball:
From what I notice on my phone (CM7.2+, v21E), when the signal strength goes below -110dB on 3G, it switches to 2G. My phone is the P920 so there's no 4G. I think using empirical data with hard numbers is better than using the number of bars as a gauge, since according to the P920 service manual:

In 3G

4 bars: over -88dBm +-2dBm

3-4 bars: -88dBm +-2dBm

2-3 bars: -96dBm +-2dBm

1-2 bars: -104dBm +-2dBm

0-1 bar: 110dBm +-2dBm (at this point it switches to 2G mode automatically)

In 2G

4 bars: over -91dBm +-2dBm

3-4 bars: -91dBm +-2dBm

2-3 bars: -99dBm +-2dBm

1-2 bars: -103dBm +-2dBm

0-1 bar: -105dBm +-2dBm

As seen from the above, there's a pretty large range between each bar of signal so numbers are better I think. Furthermore when you factor in the fact that dBm is calculated in logarithmic form, an increase of -10dBm (-80dBm --> -90dBm) would mean a 10000 fold decrease in performance.
[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
This is fantastic data and a great post. What are you using to log your signal data?

Been using a few maps but I'm uncertain of there accuracy .
[LG Thrill 4G] pandaball:
The LG stock rom only allows you to use the bars as a gauge of your signal strength. I'm using CM atm, it allows you to display your signal strength in dBm instead which is very helpful for things like this.
