[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameChamp98:
Hey guys,

I hope you can help me with my problem. I have it now about 1 month and I think I'll have to send my SGS to Samsung if you don't have any idea how to solve this problem.

About 1 month ago (a little bit after I installed arco's cm9, first released version) the phone always showed that it had an USB connection, it always said it was being charged and I couldn't change the USB-Connection-Type to Kies or Media Player. Because of this, I made a backup through CWM and reinstalled CM9 - but the problem was still there. Even after a full wipe of all partitions (system, data, caches) the problem was still there. So I restored a backup I made 3 month ago, where the problem definitely wasn't there. The restored ROM was CyMod. But still, the phone thought it was continual plugged in. Then I tested updating to a stock firmware with Kies - but the software failed doing it.

I thought I would just wait a little bit, because the problem may fix itself - and it partially did. Now, sometimes everything is normal, but the biggest part of the time it changes every second if the Phone is "plugged in" or not. And the bad thing about this is that it keeps the display running all the time. Sometimes, if I knock with the part where the USB-hardware is on my table, the problem is fixed, till I plug it in again or lay it down (even if I lay it down carefully).

So, is there any solution for this problem? I searched XDA Developers and almost the whole internet, but I didn't find anybody with the same problem.

It would be really cool if you could help me. If nobody of you has a solution, I simply send it so Samsung.

Thanks in advance, GC98

PS: Sorry for my bad english, but I learned english for 5 years now and never wrote a post like this before ^^

This is coming from a TouchWiz-based ROM.

1. The AOSP calendar is nice and slick looking, but I can't point and hold a calendar entry and drag it to a new time slot. I HAVE to click edit and manually edit in the new time, meaning you lose visibility of your other appointments.

How do I get the TouchWiz calendar on this AOSP rom, or is there any calendar you can recommend? I would LOVE to get the TouchWiz version of Calendar on the Nexus. I can't drag entries with AOSP calendar. The only other calendar app that can do this is Business Calendar, and here's what it looks like:

This is what a typical day looks like:

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8hfObdeEkVj9SV2NQMYs4tD9pFGyYEySeJ2XOt5Mynk?feat=directlink

Look at the entry for 11:30AM - 12:30PM! It's completely, utterly hidden.

2. "Send Contact Information" seems to be missing. I can't press and hold on a person's number and click "Send Contact Information" to automatically text it to someone with the person's name already filled out. I can only copy the number, then I have to manually click on text, then press and hold to paste, then type in the person's name, and click send.

I'm using Google Voice so this is now a moot point

3. Why doesn't the color coding of my calendar entries match the color coding on my actual desktop Google Calendar?

fixed

4. The stock dailer in TouchWiz is superior to AOSP since I can directly text through the dialer as well.

work-around found

5. Stock calculator in TouchWiz is better since it shows history. This can easily be fixed with another calculator app though.

not a big deal

The big thing for me is the calendar. When you have to manage and shuffle around 20-some entries in a single day, the AOSP Calendar is absolutely un-usable. I need to at least be able to drag and slide around entries. Tried Jorte, aCalendar, Business Calendar. Still can't drag and drop entries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
You can surely text thru the stock dialer, just click the text button.

The calendar doesn't have drag and drop. But I love using the calendar in tablet mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Is this thread a Q&A or a rant?

1. True, you cannot. Check the play store. There are 100s of calendars.

2. Not via sms. You can share using many other methods. Just choose a contact, then menu>share.

3. Mine matches up fine on all of my devices.

4. You definitely can. Click on their thumbnail and the contact window will pop up. Or you can click the number and press the "text message" icon on the right.

5. As you said, there are many other options in the play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fuzzybabybunny:
Response in bold.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fuzzybabybunny:
Another thing:

When I click on any of the contacts it starts to automatically dial them. I would like to click on a contact, view the contact (so that I can share it, copy the number, add in new info, etc), and then if I choose, dial it. Why does it start dialing automatically?

TouchWiz doesn't do this. It actually first goes to a view contact page when you click on the contacts icon through the dialer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I didn't know you were talking about from the dial pad, but isn't it just as easy to open the messaging app and adding the number there? You can text through the history tab though.

I can't really help you with touchwiz-esque replacements from the play store because I haven't used touchwiz before.

I know you probably have a habit of doing things a certain way; we all do. Perhaps the answer to a few of your issues is learning a new way to go about certain tasks. If not, maybe the Nexus isn't for you, which is fine.

My advice would be to try a bunch of different replacement apps in the play store. Hopefully you will find ones that suit your needs.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Use the people app to do that. The contacts tab through the dailer is meant to quick call. Or you can click the thumbnail to bring up the pop-up and click the thumbnail again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Psycho-:
This bothered me as well at first till I figured it out. First go into Google calendar on a pc, and set everything to the colors you want (no idea if this can be done thru the phone)

Go to the calender menu and select 'calenders to display' and at the bottom of the list of calendars press the button 'calenders to sync' and make sure everything you want to sync is checked and oress ok.

Go back and select the calenders you want to display in the app, they should have the color coding right next to the names.

Hope this was what you were talking about and that it helps you..

---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

Just press on the picture of the contact (not the name/number) on the left and a pop up will show you the rest of their info. Click on the big picture in the pop up to go to the people app where you can share, edit, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fuzzybabybunny:
Got it! Thanks!

I understand that there's a bias towards the way "things were always done." But in the calendar's case, say that you need to swap two entries.

Entry 1 at 1PM and Entry 2 at 5:30PM. These need to have their times swapped with each other.

In TouchWiz this can be accomplished with two swipes.

In AOSP this needs 10 or more taps, going in and out of the calendar view and the edit entry view, and for you to remember that you need to put Entry 1 at 5:30 (not 4:30, not 6:30), etc.

This is simply a matter of a horrible user interface and user experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fuzzybabybunny:
Is it possible to get the TouchWiz calendar on this device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
Touchwiz is a skin on top, you can try go launcher with is other goodies like go contacts and more.

You can also try the touchwiz ux port search for it. Think its on market too.

I have the apk, still doesn't work. Is there anyway I can make the app think this phone is in the states?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snowman77:
Use a VPN. Maybe Market enabler might work aswell.

I've never used it so I don't know though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Durkbeef:
That wouldn't work. Pandora itself checks to make sure you are in the right place, so I don't think market enabler would work.

Also, asking someone to thank you is douchey.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fixyourtech:
A VPN or some other kind of proxy to the United States would be the only way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
I'm in Canada and can confirm you that Pandora will work if you connect via VPN or proxy... Same thing for Netflix, hulu, mog etc

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eKeith:
I use a PPTP VPN service from http://www.strongvpn.com when I am out of the US. It's stable and I can stream Pandora for hours but on occasion I need to reset the connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
I'm also using strong VPN! Yes the connection is real stable, what I did is I bought their router... now when I connect to the strong vpn router I'm virtually in the us, if I use my regular router I'm here in Canada like I suppose too.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eKeith:
Hey big samm,

I didn't buy their router but actually configured their OpenVPN Lite service on my dd-wrt flashed router. I use the PPTP service on my mobile devices. Don't want to sound like an advert but once you sign up for OpenVPN you can get the PPTP service for just $2 per month. PPTP is flawed with insecurities but serves my temporary needs when on the road...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gctp_dev:
VPN only need at app start

Also, once you open up Pandora and wait for a couple of seconds you can disconnect from VPN - it only checks for country when it first loads and when you use the the thumbs up and down or try to tweak your stations. Skip works however. I have been trying to find a PPTP app (VPNRoot doesn't work for me: MS-CHAP authentication request denied error) that I can automate to connect to VPN prior to Pandora that works on ICS+. Apparently TOR does this, I just don't want something running all the time using up battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moshtagh:
transport iturfad

Sorry if this is a stupid assumption or question, if you can get the apk file for pandora is it not possible to edit/modify the apk not to send ip information? Rather than having to install another app to block the ip like VPN?

I am using the MeanROM, which works great for me. Before MeanROM I tried Cleanrom DE (sense-less version) and Deck's CM10 (8/6 release). With Cleanrom DE and CM10 I had an issue with the calendar app where it didn't want to load my work calendar (exchange server), only calendar from Gmail worked. The mail app loaded my work email just fine, so it was not a exchange setup issue. Has anyone experienced this issue? Is there a known fix?

[HTC Sensation] Andy--T:
I think the issue is down to mismatch of radio or kernels. Im having the same issues myself since flashing viper. Flashed Kang 10 jellybean and wifi was restored for an hour but back to same now. Just tried latest ruu and completely factory wiped but lost rev in hboot now just says locked. ThinknI have to flash the radio again to use adb commands. Really frustrating though.

Some guidance from someone with a bit of wit would be perfect :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Faux recently fixed the Sense 4.0 WiFi problem.

Look HERE

Try the 008b8 version.

:)
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
I didn't try that version specifically I tried the latest. Does that make a difference?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The reason I suggested that one,is the latest version is giving some people lag.

:)
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
You should try to change your wifi settings there is a setting for keeping WiFi active
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Ahhhh alright let me give that certain version a try after I try Viper. Because I see Viper already has that fix in there.

That doesnt work in Sense 4, idk why.
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
Have you tried a other firmware or kernel ?
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Firmware no kernels yes
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Just tried another firmware and didn't work. 3.32
[HTC Sensation] TForsman:
Used to have same issue, were wifi loose connection.

Been testing MikroSense rom, and last 2 days it seems to keep wifi all the time. No more dropping wifi connection. So if you plan to try out some difference roms, try that one.
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Hmmm I could of swore I tried this but I'm up for anything right about now. I want to use Sense 4 as its AMAZING!! I see they have 3 kernels, which one did you use and whats your firmware at?
[HTC Sensation] tessut:
You should try to go back to gingerbread firmware than flash ics firmware again
[HTC Sensation] TForsman:
Used bricked kernel during installation.

Kernel:

3.0.36-Bricked-3.0-v1.4-g67d3c72

Firmware:

[tforsman@localhost android]$ ./fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.33.401.106
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
Does it turn off when your screen turns off and does it come back on when turn the screen back on if so check your settings in WiFi and tick stay awake so your WiFi will stay connected even when your screen is off
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
I'm gonna try that now.

Hmmm tried the brick one and didn't work as well, then tried faux and it was okay but was still doing the same thing.

Nope it just randomly turn on and off constatly even if I set my screen to awake all the time.
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Just tried it. Didn't work. I know Im close because WiFi is staying on longer than what it was before. But its still cutting out.:(
[HTC Sensation] richie390:
Found Solution

So I just tried OrDroid as I saw this:

But Idk why it started to work all of sudden but :D thanks everyone for trying to help :D

Thanks for the thread. I followed your instructions in the ALLinONE thread and that was helpful!

Two extra things I experienced when rooting my tablet:

1. I somehow skipped 0035 and directly updated from 11000 to 0042. No problem with that.

2. With 0042, I still had problem with ALLinONE (4.0, 4.1, whatever version) froze after launching adb [AiO froze after "daemon started successfully"]. No root process performed. It turned out that the adb files come with AiO seem to be outdated. I updated my SDK tools to rev 20 just this afternoon. The new adb.exe (under android-sdk\platform-tools\) is able to recognize the device when the adb.exe w/ AiO cannot. Copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and AdbWinUsbApi.dll to \files\ solved the problem with a successful rooting.

Now challenging pre-rooted ICS! Fingers crossed....

[Updated] after 3 or 4 rounds of failed, now i'm officially on rooted ics!! The most confusing part for me was after signing the decrypted update file and flash custom_update_signed.zip.

Here's how it finally worked for me:

1) install busybox;

2) when in the recovery model: run install.zip [it wouldn't fail] -> run _hack_recovery.zip [this one failed!!] -> run the new install.zip [it was the old custom_updated_signed].

ps: i'm not allowed to post in the dev forum yet so can't add to the original AiO thread. @@

After I bought my Sony it was running 3.2.1, but I updated it to ICS 4.0.3 and then tried to root (found this forum to late). Can I downgrade the software? I would like to ask if there is a solution to root an ICS 4.0.3 (release 2)???

This may seem a bit strange - I rooted my Nook Color to get the full Android system. What will I get if I root my Sony S?

That is a shame. You cannot root Android version 3.2.1 (release2) with Kernel version 2.6.36.3 integ-build@build10 #1.
