[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Hi folks, I'm going to update the firmware on my son's SGS using Kies and USB, the phone has been misbehaving of late and it needs updating. Kies suggests that the phone should have a fully charged battery before applying the update, it's roughly 80% now and I'm getting fed up with the waiting. Is 80% a safe charge level to apply the update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambam1978:
not needed but reccomended for the firmware update can take awhile and uses a lot of battery.

Just wanted to get some feedback on burn in on ur phone. I am running ICS and every time I play a video I can see burn in from froyo, icons and such. Is this something prevalent on super amoled? Or are all screen types going to suffer from this eventually?

Hey....ass butt...
[Vibrant General] drizzlet:
None found here!

I couldn't find anything like this. I've had a Vibrant since February 2011 and I've used it consistently since (although on medium-low brightness). I heard AMOLED burn-in is prevalent in later stages of owning a phone, especially if you have the screen on high brightness all the time.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
I bought mine off Craigslist in May 2011. I don't know how it was used prior but I keep it on low or auto brightness. I starting running ICS in March and that's when I really started noticing the burn in from froyo icons. Thanks for reply, like to get some more feedback.

Let's skip the chick flick moment..
[Vibrant General] OTAw:
Never had this issue... ever. Vibrant owner since Aug '10
[Vibrant General] DonutYankee:
I have burn-in on mine, bought it day the phone came out. It takes a long, long time to set in, and even then it's very minor, but noticeable.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
I found a date, 7/2010 on my battery, I guess that's when this phone was sold??? But just like you said, its not bad but def noticeable.

[Vibrant General] Xenoism:
Interesting O_o I've had my phone for two years and I've got nothing like that whatsoever o:
[Vibrant General] eksasol:
There had been many discussion about this in various forum sections:

ie: Galaxy Nexus Screen - What's Normal, What's Not

Yes AMOLED have burn in issues, but they disappear quickly so no problem for me. Also all AMOLED phones I ever had have the 'dark spots', its also pretty much prevalent on all current AMOLED screens.
[Vibrant General] romitkin:
I have the phone since March 2011. No signs of burn-in whatsoever. Checked with color flashlight app.
[Vibrant General] kxlling:
I've had my vibrant since july or august (at early release) 2010 and I do have image burn, I notice it on anything that takes full screen with a white background. I've also always had it on max brightness though. That's just something I have trouble giving up. As long as there is something up there it's not notable though, only on white with no notification bar showing.
[Vibrant General] mr.incredible:
I use an app called Caffeine that overrides the screen time-out. I originally had it set to stay on anytime it was on the charger. Now I have a burn-in image of my lock screen, from an older firmware. So, yes they do burn in. It does take a while to burn it though.

It's frowned upon to re-distribute threads across multiple forums, trust me it wasn't allowed for a thread compiled by RC's so the same will go for this and any other thread especially one that was published on the portal as has been made aware to alot of people.

I want to do this because the HTC beats notify in sense 4.0 is much more nicer looking and noticeable. I would just nandroid and download a sense 4.0 rom and switch the apks but I'm leaving for work soon and dont have time, has anyone ever tried?

Hello Canadian users with SGH-T959W!

I spent some time the last few days comparing the kernel source for SGH-T959W and SGH-T959V, and found they are exactly the same (plus a few fixes for us on SGH-T959V from the SGH-T959W source!)!

This is good for you, because we have unofficial cm7, cm9, aokp, et alii... ports for the SGH-T959V.

Maybe a forum admin could update the Samsung Galaxy S 4G forum to also say: SGH-T959V & SGH-T959W

Technically, the only real difference is that the stock roms for the SGH-T959W will have different pre-installed software. The hardware of the SGH-T959W is the same as the SGH-T959V.

Enjoy!

BTW, if anyone has an odin or kies tarball, please PM me!

This way I can verify if the bootloaders are different or not, and if they are different, I can make you guys custom Heimdall OneClick and Odin packages.
[General Topics] fingolfin14:
Sorry to bump this thread, but out of curiosity, what were the fixes you were able to implement after seeing the kernel source for the 959W?

If it's something you'd rather not explain and will just be rolling out in future kernels, no big deal; just curious.

Thanks.
[General Topics] bhundven:
The hardware is exactly the same. There is still a problem with the OTA Assert, meaning, how the rom knows if it is able to install on the phone or not during install from cwm. Also how it identifies itself to the play store.

I'm fixing this in the next cm9 unofficial release (coming soon, eta... a few hours, maybe).

The only real difference between SGH-T959V and SGH-T959W is the pre-installed/bundled software on the phone.

Everything else is one-to-one.

I'm still paranoid about bootloaders. So I'm still waiting for someone to post Kies or leaked tar.md5 for the SGH-T959W so that I can diff the bootloaders. If they are different, I will create new Heimdall OneClicks for SGH-T959W so that it is simple for you to go back to stock. See my current Heimdall OneClick thread to get an idea of what I mean.

On the other hand, we have some issues with our SGH-T959V bootloaders, and I have Unbrickable Mod on my phone. So, if the bootloaders are different, I would like to try flashing the SGH-T959W bootloaders to see if they work any better.

Also, there are a few fixes in the SGH-T959W kernel source that I will be incorporating into the current unofficial CM7 and CM9 ports I work on. Not having these fixes shouldn't have any negative impact on SGH-T959W.

I hope this info is informative. If not, ask more!
[General Topics] phaedrus81:
I have a SGH-T959W which seemed to have a bad flash already (from before.. and I am trying to revive it) on it (seems stuck on the cwm screen, and the system partition doesn't seem to have all the data that it needs to). Is there any way of getting the original ROM for this phone? Even if I install a cm build for the T959V, I don't get errors but its stuck in a cwm loop (keeps coming back to cwm).

When I try any of the one-clicks for the T959V, it succeeds on the kernel upload but always fails on the modem upload.

Where would you look for the Kies tar for this phone? Any possible way of getting the original ROM from a brand new phone? (any instructions for these would be great)
[General Topics] bhundven:
This is annoying, sorry you are going through this. It sounds like something dorked your param.lfs.

I've had this happen to me, and it always appends 'bootmode=2' to the kernel command line. Only way to fix it is to flash a new param.lfs from the stock image...

...which brings me to this part. Someone told me that they have this image, but when I asked them to post it somewhere, I got no response.

Bug Wind and Samsung for a kies mini or a stock image that you can flash to the phone. Samsung is probably not going to be as helpful as Wind, so I'd try bugging the crap out of Wind.

Hopefully someone will get me the tar.md5 soon, and we can get you guys a one-click with bootloaders (which includes the param.lfs).

If you feel bold/brave, you can try flashing the bootloaders from my Stock oneclick in my signature.

Since it should be the same hardware it should work the same. Granted after flashing your phone will now be a SGH-T959V and not an SGH-T959W. ;)

I hold no guarantee that it will work, and/or that it won't try to shoot you at your favorite new 3d film. <.< ... >.>
[General Topics] phaedrus81:
Thanks for the info about what might be causing the cwm loop issue :)

I think I will the one-click with bootloaders a try (will update this thread with the results). At this point I think I have exhausted all other options to revive the device. :D
[General Topics] bhundven:
Also, just to make sure you have tried different cables and computers.

Not being able to flash the modem sounds like a cable/computer issue.

If you have that issue while flashing bootloaders, you could hard-brick your phone.

The first time you flash with the oneclick, it will not flash bootloaders. The second time, the option to flash bootloaders opens up, but you still have to enable it.

Don't forget to read all the documentation in my thread before doing anything.

If you have any questions, ask before you do. ;)

[General Topics] phaedrus81:
It does look like it could be a cable/computer issue. I tried different cables and some of them didn't get as far as the modem (failed the kernel upload as well). Haven't got a cable which succeeds in the modem flash yet.

All of the driver stuff on windows makes me nervous though. Is there any way to flash this on linux. Does the one-click package work with fastboot or can fastboot be used to flash the individual pieces?
[General Topics] bhundven:
These phones do not have fastboot, but they have download mode.

Yes, you can do this from: Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X

If you still have problems with multiple cables, I highly recommend trying a different computer. I've had this problem myself before. It drove me nuts until I got a friends laptop and everything worked perfectly. My laptop's usb ports had gone bad for some unexplainable reason.

Steps I followed

managed to get my Wind SGH-T959W rooted and up and running with a unofficial CM9 build, but it took a bit of work.

Firstly, I tried just about every one-click solution out there, to no avail. It's possible SOC 1.7 with rattlethecage works, but I didn't have the patience to find out whether I simply had to wait a bit longer.

I followed this guide(whilst clenching every clenchable muscle I could consciously control):

http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/of...ngerbread.html

The gist is, Odin 1.7, stock+voodoo for T959V, plus some update that I'm not qualified to describe. That should get you rooted and if that's all you're looking for, you'll have to suffer through a little T-Mobile branding on startup.

Once you got it all rooted, you'd think it'd be a good idea to toss sgs-ics on there, right? Well, no. After installing the 4G variant, it promptly set off into a boot loop which I'm again, unqualified to diagnose. The obvious solution was to try another team's version of ICS, which I indeed found here:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1730954

Barring some missing features, it sounds like a good alternative to sgs-ics. Though I had to go through one additional step, which I really, honestly assure you I was under-qualified to execute. When I tried to load Team Acid's CM9 r3 it gave me an assert on the updater-script, since the hardware didn't match up. Easy. Unzip the package, open up META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, remove the first check. You know it's the same hardware, you don't need some stinkin' script to tell you it won't work.

So all said and done, I now have a Wind Mobile SGH-T959W running ICS 4.0.4 courtesy of bhundven, the Odin folks, Team Acid, and likely a slew of other contributors.

Thanks folks, and enjoy!

PS, if you want that tarball bhundven, send me a PM with some brief instructions, and hopefully you can help my fellow Winders.

.......(---------THAT WHAT I FOLLOWED .

But I did the first part and They said i should get the stuff I store on my SD Card to pull out a file (``12) In CWM, use your volume up/down positions to navigate, scroll down to "Install Zip From SDcard". Select with a click of the power button. Navigate to where you put sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.1-rc1-unsigned-update.zip (in the root of your SDcard) and select with the power button. Confirm you want to install.

``)

but it doesn't give me the option to go get it on my SDcard and Now my Phone just turns on and off with the samsung galaxy S logo plus T-mobile exclusive logo . The only possitive thing about all the damage is that I can still put my phone on dowload mode and I just think if someone knows how to get my phone back to it state they will need me to put it on download mode. :crying:

[General Topics] bhundven:
:facepalm:

Then send your phone back to Mobillicity. Tell them that you don't know what a smart phone is and did something stupid to it. Go get yourself a nice clamshell phone.

I gave you explicit instructions that work for SGH-T959V and SGH-T959W. As a matter of fact, these instructions work on any "Galaxy S" phone, but you shouldn't flash just any other phone's rom to any other phone.

It just so happens that the SGH-T959V and SGH-T959W are the same exact hardware, just pre-packaged with different software and sold in different regions.

THEY ARE THE SAME PHONE!

I think you were right, i hadn't heard about this storage problem on the HTC one X before, i suppose the rom i'm using is using an older base. For time being a backup on PC then format then copy back has done the trick. Thanks for the help.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] papertreeprophet:
Back on my skyrocket, my phone would think I was in Nashua NH, I thought it had something to do with the custom beta version of ICS I was using.

But I am seeing the same thing happening on my S3. A bit of info: I am on at&t in Dallas, TX. I get LTE at home in mesquite, and still pick it up while at work in Irving.

While at home it correctly puts me in mesquite, but at work it tries to tell me I'm all the way in New Hampshire. It's not just one app, any app that uses cell tower location info says the same thing. It's a minor annoyance, if I really need location based services I can just turn on gps, but I used to love my weather widget changing between home and work, without the need for gps.

I should also mention that if I drop down to regular 4G, location information works correctly again. And it's only in Irving I have this happen, the minute I'm back in Dallas, it's working once more.

Considering this phone is still stock, I'm thinking it has something more to do with the tower put here. Any advice would be awesome.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] papertreeprophet:
Is there no one else around Irving Texas that can test this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
Sounds like you're getting assigned an IP address from a DHCP pool that is defined in NH. I would assume that since LTE is still very much in the "beta" phase of rolling out, that things like this will be common until more of the LTE network is stood up and stable.
