I recently rooted the phone and have been purging the bloatware from the phone. Does anybody know if its OK to remove the Car and Desk Cradle apps? I do have the car dock, but since I don't use the VZW Nav app, find that the Car Cradle app is useless.

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] jawman27:
When I first rooted, I was freezing left and right with Titanium. If I didn't recognize something, or if quick Google searches didn't insist on its importance, it got frozen. I'm pretty sure I froze those two, and I never ran into any problems.

The other thing to consider is that you could stop delaying the inevitable and just start flashing custom ROMs. Deep down, you know you want to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopiBrown:
So when I turn the power on, it just has the "Samsung Galaxy S" logo and all that, and then it enters a boot-loop where that keeps coming up.

When I plug it into the charger, it just has an empty battery and it stays like that, even when I leave it overnight to charge, the screen still shows that empty battery.

I've tried using Heimdall to flash ezbase recovery and I've also used Odin, as well as EZOdin to flash the same recovery, both of which yield no results.

I have also tried both Odin and Heimdall to flash the stock ROM, which also makes no difference the the boot-loop situation.

When using both of those programs, they do not flash any ROMs at all when I select the "Re-partition" or anything related to partition, it just won't pass that initial step.

The only thing that I can do with the phone is enter recovery mode by pressing the Volume Down, Power and Home buttons.

If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! :D

The last successful ROM that I flashed was 2.3.4 i9000XXJVP.

The incident occured when I tried to overclock my precious phone. I don't remember the specific source of the files I used to overclock or anything, but yeah, it instantly boot-looped and bricked the phone. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaylinnMaung:
Flash stock rom again with repartition "ticked".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopiBrown:
That would have been the first thing I tried.

When I tick "repartition" in both programs (Heimdall and Odin), the flashing process suddenly gets stuck.

When flashing stock ROM through Odin, it gets stuck on Set Partition forever.

When flashing through Heimdall, it refuses to upload the PIT file and then it will say "Heimdall Crashed" at the bottom next to the Start Flash button.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchindalia:
Hey

Un-check reparation and try..

Thats the cause for bootloops...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord_Santa:
Try flashing a new Kernel. Most of my boot loop problems have been Kernel related and flashing a new one using Odin almost always solved the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopiBrown:
If I uncheck repartition, nothing happens after I flash and the phone still stays in boot-loop.

I've tried flashing many new kernels from many different ROMS including CyanogenMod, Modaco and also ezrecovery mod. The only ROM that I managed to flash and have a noticable difference would be DarkyRom but the phone is still stuck in boot loop.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Using CWM, make sure to wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, and then go into advanced, and wipe the Dalvik cache too and flash custom rom twice

Remove / insert battery and go to recovery to flash it again , for any custom rom, if still goes into bootloop get a .tar kernel and flash using Odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopiBrown:
Yeah that's the thing though, I don't have CWM installed, at least I don't think so. I can't seem to access it. It just keeps boot looping.

Plus u can root it here

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopiBrown:
I have attempted both of your suggestions, both of which have had no impact on the current situation.

I still cannot access ClockWorkMod and flashing other ROMs do not make any difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Have you tried flashing Stock Rom with Pit and Bootloader ? Download a JVT Rom and try, cause there is NO reason why you cannot flash a ROM after that you can flash a semaphore kernel to get CWM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoopiBrown:
So I asked around, and apparently it's not a soft-brick, but it's a hard-brick!

Everything I have tried to flash has not made any difference to the phone's functioning status.

Why? ans what is the good ROM for the Battery?

thank you! but the problem is when the phone sleep Android OS drain a lot of battery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworks:
Hey Tony! :angel:

OP: all I have to add here is that the Android OS battery drain issue is well-know (a quick search will yield a tonne of threads), so no point elaborating on that. What I can recommend though is downloading BetterBatteryStats, and check for any kernel wakelocks. Fix those if they're there; I will not explain how to, as there are already many threads on the topic. Those will be the main source of your battery drain.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m7amed:
thank you!

yes i found tons of topics about this subject,but not really solution,

in my case when i kill all apps WIFI still working(see that on the wifi icon on top bar)with my old Galaxy s1 that's never happened.

talking about BetterBatteryStats ,i found that Maps and GPS drain some battery but not too much but i disabled GPS and Google places service i won some battery life but the Android OS still killing my battery.

by the way have you this problem to?

thank you.

[Xoom General] mthii:
If you're not one to get in a fit over specs, and want a cheap 10" tablet, it's a decent deal. But if you don't mind the 7" feel, then get the Nexus 7 tablet. I'm waiting to see how Jelly Bean 4.1 feels on my Xoom and I might keep it myself. Are you planning to root the Xoom?
[Xoom General] sirrdeezy:
Im not worried about the specs but i do plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom

droid razr maxx
[Xoom General] gmanunited:
The Xoom is a great device if you can deal with the almost 2 yr old specs. I like to 10" Form Factor with the latest Google updates. They just keep dragging it along for the ride. You cant go wrong with either device.
[Xoom General] jlvlawrence:

[Xoom General] LexLuger82:
I agree
[Xoom General] Droidem:
For $200 it's not a bad deal if it comes with all the accessories.

If you plan on rooting and flashing a custom rom the xoom is a good choice over the nexus 7. Since it just came out and has limited space you would be hard pressed with what you could install on it. With the xoom you don't have to worry about it.

Also what size wifi are you getting?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Well I wouldn't say that, since I haveboth and there's basically the same options plus/minus for both. That said, the Xoomis a pleasure to flash on and we've got great options.
[Xoom General] yeahmon:
I agree too.

[Xoom General] 3devious:
I prefer a larger screen size and would recommend the Xoom over all of the 7" tablets. I am partial to Amazon's access to content with the Kindle Fire, even the Nexus 7 can't really compare. When Amazon makes a 10" tablet, there might be an acceptable Android alternative to the Xoom. As it us all other choices are too locked down, flaky or both to be worth mentioning.

$200 is a great price for a wifi Xoom in perfect condition and some warranty left on it.
[Xoom General] DefinityX:
I tend to agree with the overall consesus. I use my Xoom mostly as video player, and for my needs, I require immediate access to several 10s of GB of videos. For that reason alone, the Xoom is still y favorite device. As far as the Specs go, I've had mine for a year, and have yet to have it start choking the way my one and half year old phone does.

I think it sounds like a great buy. Let us know what you decide! :)
[Xoom General] logitechor:
A lot depends on what you want it for. I like the 10 inch form factor but I have big hands. I like the Xoom as it has two cameras. Important to me. It has an sdcard slot - also important. The Xoom is well supported by developers and Google up to an including jelly bean. However, the nexus 7 is a great deal for 200.00. So if you don't mind less options on it but faster processor and smaller form factor it would be a great choice. Oh, and less space even on board. But I use the Xoom a lot as a multimedia streamer to my television through HDMI out.

2G should switch by itself. You can force 2G if you want.

[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I believe they were talking about whether HSDPA and HSUPA was active and asking about the dialer menu to manually change band settings.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Awesome for a first build

Very well so far. I do experience some lag, but that's expected on my poor captive (Been an issue since day 1), but thus far it's pretty darned amazing! I'm just waiting for the extra A.S.S. settings. Now I just need to test battery life, see what we get for that! ;)

On second thought, I found a little oddity on my i896... The SD Card is acting quite weird. Normally I'm able to mount both SD Cards (internal and external) and everything is hunky dory. Unfortunately, such is not the case here. The mount points seem switched (emmc has become sdcard and vice versa. I remember there being a huge controversy over this...) but it seems that it won't mount both locations. (ie I only get what's currently at /mnt/emmc, which is the internal SD card). What's even more odd is that a few applications (Waze in particular) complain that the SD Card cannot be read! This is only happening most noticeably in the Waze app because it just hangs, but most other apps (titanium backup for example) seem OK...

Nevermind on the mounting. An app somehow broke that...
[Captivate Android Development] sNoxious:
How can I take screenshot on this Rom? There's no built-in app for that?

You can consider using one of DerTeufel's HellyBean kernels. Be warned it needs a full wipe and will take out ~ 100MB of /system
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Uh Oh...

I decided on trying out the Devil3 kernel, which works just fine, but I can't get into the recovery (ever after the first flash anyways, first reboot was fine). Now I'm quite fearful because Recovery doesn't work... but the normal boot is fine.

Any hints on how to force a recovery boot without using ODIN? (My windows machine is kinda floating, and Linux doesn't seem to have working drivers for my phone?!?)
[Captivate Android Development] npt1988:
try using the devil config app to change the recovery type.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

my phone gets really warm after a few minutes of normal usage(web browsing etc). this never happened when I was using ics. is this because of project butter?
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
As far as the config app is concerned... didn't work, but when I manually removed the twrp file, everything came back OK.

For checking why your phone gets hot, I usually use an app like Usage Timelines to watch when my CPU is being maxed out and what is causing it. For me, certain web-page layouts (non-mobile) will cause a rendering loop, that even though the page looks fine, the CPU is spinning (somewhere, can't debug it) on making sure the rest of the page is not actually in the current screen area.

Also, it could just be a rogue app, Usage timelines will again help identify it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I don't know if this is how Jelly Bean is supposed to work but I'm having problems with app switching. By that I mean when I was on ICS I could be using twitter and receive a message. I could drop down the notification bar, click on the message, view it, and reply. Then I could simply hit the back button at the bottom and it would take me back to twitter since that's what I was in before I got the message. On Slim Bean however when I do the same as above, instead of taking me back to twitter it takes me back to the home screen. Any ideas if that's how it should be or if what I have gotten used to was a function of that particular rom?
