[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
Hey -- does anyone have or have a link to a working *.tar.gz of GB 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 that I can flash in Heimdall? The main Heimdall thread is filled with dead Multiupload links.

Further info: I lost my IMEI. I actually have it backed up as a plain copied folder and a *.tar.gz, but it won't stick across reboots. And, flashing the JVZ firmware from the Heimdall thread throws errors for multi-CSC, I think because I don't have /efs and /dev/block/stl3 there, because it won't stick.

I flash JVZ, no IMEI. I restore nv_data.bin, I get IMEI and bars. I reboot, I'm back to no IMEI. So I want to try going back to an earlier GB, and hopefully not multi-CSC, and see how that works. I don't have Odin; heimdall on Mac and Linux.

Any help would be appreciated.

salamat...

for the learning experience. I did figure out how to break down Odin instructions/files for flashing with Heimdall, so I did learn something. I still have the same problem, though -- no /efs. I tried exporting it in adb, but it's not working. And the simple /efs folder backup is not sticking, even if i chown it to 1001:1001.

Bah. I might go to the Samsung center, or barring that, some local market stall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
if you lost your efs ,. try to flash a very early stock rom or try this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26827676&postcount=4512"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
thanks ... I did try that. I could get my IMEI back and a signal, but I'd lose it on reboot. This must have originated when flashing one of the early JB alphas. By accident noticed that I had the working 'fake' IMEI. I went back to 2.3.6 and couldn't get a signal, but I could flash back up to ICS, and magically my real IMEI was there. I backed up the /efs folder six ways to Sunday, but not /dev/block/stl3 or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.

So after a few more flashes of JB alphas/nightlies, I found myself looping and going back to GB. No IMEI. Not the fake one or even all zeroes , just unknown. So I tried that method that you linked, and similar ones, but I'd always lose it again on reboot.

Also, I couldn't flash up to ICS because it would always Status 7 error. I don't have it handy now, but the error msg was something like, 'assert failed' and a problem with /tmp/updater.sh. I tried the THS 16 nightly and the last couple of the CM9 nightlies.

I gave up. Samsung Service Center here actually told me it was a problem with my memory board and would cost $150. A guy at a little phone+camera shop said he could do it. After some terrible bilingual exchange (I can speak a little Khmer, but not about Android or Linux), we settled on him trying to fix it. We'll see in a few hours. My fingers are crossed that it works. And that when I get it back, root folder isn't sending data out to China or Russia*.

* Please don't misinterpret this as ill will towards Chinese or Russian people. Just sayin', some of the best hackers -- and APTs -- come from there. Ranking among the US and Israel, too, right?

Efs folders can be fixed by using and Octopus Box or any other Box, by phone techs in a few minutes..so nothing to worry about, only how much they will chrage you for it :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groksteady:
Octopus Box, that's the second thing I learned today -- cheers!

US$20. He knocked $5 off the starting price. Should've haggled more, but I "spent" more than that already trying to fix it myself, with the only benefit of learning to use Heimdall better. And this. And that when I get it back, I should back up /dev/block/stl3 or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 too.

For now, though, it's kinda nice to be on my backup phone -- Nokia 101!

Hi everybody. My gf has a unlocked Telus Nokia Lumia 800 with 500mb of data with Rogers. However, everything works perfectly except whatsapp, which only works on wifi.

I tried resetting, reinserting the sim card, updating the network, reinstalling whatsapp, I tried different APNs and still nothing. I even went so far as to change her bb data into regular data and it still wouldn't work.

Any ideas? Anyone have similar issues? Thanks.

then titanium backup and backup all your stuff to dropbox

then make a copy of your sd card on your pc

IS NOW BACK COMPATIBLE WITH GINGERBREAD AND FROYO

IF THE MODERATOR COULD CHANGE IT TO 2.2+ IT WOULD BE GREAT!

Ever want to continue a text conversation while driving? Do you receive texts and have to pull to the side of the road just to read them? Not anymore! HFT (Hands Free Texting) is an app

that will solve all of these annoying problems, all while keeping you totally safe when driving.

HFT will allow you to hear who is texting you, either read or ignore the incoming message, hear it again, and then respond, all using your voice. HFT won’t just immediately send a message either -- we all know that sometimes voice recognition isn’t totally accurate, so HFT will replay the message before sending so that you can avoid any embarrassing messages if your voice is not recognized properly.

Unlike most voice recognition apps, HFT is compatible with both bluetooth headsets and in-car devices. In addition, HFT gives you the choice to automatically turn off voice notifications when your device is in silent or vibrate mode, without you having to worry about it. Turning HFT on or off is as simple as tapping the homescreen widget, which glows red to tell you that it is running. A status bar notification will also let you know that you’re ready to text hands-free.

When it comes to safety, peace of mind, and convenience, there is nothing better than being able to continue texting with your eyes safely on the road or whatever else you may be doing, and HFT makes it happen seamlessly and effortlessly.

For $.99, it is better than getting a $175 ticket.

If you are unsure about the app and want to see how it works or if it is compatible with your phone, download the Lite version for free.

Just root your device and change your kernel can save your problem.I hope so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowbutt:
Known problem; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28036. Rooting, installing Fardjad's WiFix, setting a country code (GB in my case) and increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes from 3606 to 16384 fixed it for me. None of that should be necessary on the stock firmware of a consumer appliance, though.

EDIT: Actually, if WiFi connects, it might not be this issue after all. It is a problem in many (all?) official ICS 4.0.3, though. If by "internet is still not working" you mean the stock browser force closes before you can do anything with it, you'll need to go into settings->applications->all->[browser name] and clear cache and data. You'll lose your bookmarks, history and cache, so back those up first if you want to keep them.

Hi , I updated to this same build version today (form the first post), and I did notice that the wifi is working, however the download arrow of the wifi icon on the notification bar keeps blinking all the time. Is this normal?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Are you on about the up and down arrows on the Wifi icon? This is normal this just shows the up arrow as uploading and the down arrow as downloading data. All part of the ICS UI.

Piece of advice root your phone install custom kernel and Rom. You will not go back to stock ever again!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlito:
Thx for the reply. Yes those are the arrows I'm refereing to, but the thing that seems odd is that whenever the wifi is connected the down arrow keeps blinking regardless if I'm using anything (apps or browsing) on the internet or not.

As for the custom roms/root, I will get to those yet.. First I'll try rooting and then I might move to a custom rom. I actually got very used to the stock rom, but I know once I start changing it will be a one way road.. lol

Not sure the router has anything to do with it but I will keep this in mind for possible fixes...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Your Wifi always looks for the router hence the down arrow downloading data which is very minimal. Your router gives you an IP address which lets you have internet. Your wifi checks for internet even if you are not using it. This is why its best to turn wifi off if you are not using it as it does drain your battery. Custom kernels have sorted this out when your phone "sleeps" it doesnt wake up even if your wifi is on.

Root first, Backup backup backup second, then install a custom kernel (this is the most important part of the phone) and then a custom rom. Seriously stock hasn't nothing on Mod. Think about it.....

More info please.

Do you have an external SD card as well?

Do you get this problem when running the stock ROM or other TW-based ROMs?

It may just be that the directories are messed up or you have a bad flash. Your Android system probably has the internal sd card as /emmc , and most apps need it to be /sdcard for it to be recognized. You can switch it in the storage settings, but since yours FC's, I'm assuming you have a bad flash.

it can't mount the SD card? have him pull everything off the sd caerd on the computer and reformat it as FAT32 file partition or once everything is backed up put it in the phone and let the phone reformat it. then put all the pictures/files back on the sdcard.

It would be great if there were some statistics to show how many are using ICS / JB etc how many use CM / Miui, etc.

Maybe even cross device and also for win 7 etc.

It would make sense (to me) if XDA had such an app and statistics web page.

Does such a thing already exist?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] abdelazeez:
I suppose the reason Developers request we don't mirror their ROMS to other file hosting sites is so they can have a count of how many times it was downloaded. :cool:
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] JMG01:
I think that's more about kick back from some download sites. With App downloads there is a system. There is the feedback rating and comments, there is the download count, there is the Most popular, there is the trending, etc... But with ROMS... Only the developers have a chance to know. They can see the downloads(unless there are other mirrors), but they (probably) can't see if it's been installed or if it's still in use.

I remember in some thread, someone commenting on the published new Android install figures, but saying that they installed a new a ROM every day!

I am sure there must be an app for tracking this. Why on earth would there not be?:p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] sancho55:
Probably the usual benchmarks that gather statistics and pull them up on web. From there it might be visible.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] domenukk:
CM has its own statistics built in and the play store shows a statistic about the official revisions (ICS / JB for example)

However with miui etc it would be hard to gather any statistics at all. Should ask xiaomi to build them into the system :D

But you can just compare the number of posts in the threads. I think that should be some kind of a good guess for total installs/interest in the past.
