[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garak0410:
I've had more lockups since the ICS update but one of the most annoying ones has been, now and then, my phone will lock up during a call. I cannot answer or ignore it and it will just ring forever until I hold power button in for 10 seconds to restart. Anyone else have this issue?

As mentioned, since ICS, I've had more lockups and reminds me of the days when was still an Infuse owner. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sly-tendencies:
Info, dude. It'll get you farther faster.

Stock ICS? Rooted? If it's becoming a problem to the point where it hinders your phone the fastest option is to factory reset.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somniloquist:
Hello All,

Have some issues with my phone that i want to run it through you all.

I live in India. I have a SGS GT-i9000

I got it first with 2.1. I updated it to 2.2.

At 2.2, I installed DarkyROM and played around with it. I tried going back to 2.2 after a few days. At that point, the Lagfix was enabled and then the flashing did not work.

I somehow fixed it and was able to resolve it and get the phone working. This was close to a year ago and i do not remember what exactly

I then installed 2.3 and it was working great. However, from then on, Any flashing i do, i get the dbdata.rfs error message and i've to flash the dbdata.rfs downloaded separately for that issue. That works, But again, If i try to flash, or do a Format Internal Flash, i see the problem again.

How do i fix it?.

I tried going back to 2.2 with the 3 file method and then went to 2.3. Same Issue

I just want to format the phone completely and go back to a saner state. Please help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persianfarshad:
Flash stock rom (3 file) and then reset phone with code .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somniloquist:
Tried. It works. But then comes up with a complete error trail when resetting the phone.

I am trying to get that error now. Had it somewhere......... Basically, it says unable to format and so on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somniloquist:
Hi.

I did this now...............

Installed Froyo 3 File combo. ( since i read it somewhere) and did a Factory reset. Works ok

Installed GB 2.3.6 3 File Combo and did a Factory Reset. Works Ok. No Error Message

And then Installed CM10 and Slimbean. All working ok

However, I come back to my original question: What is the best process to get my phone to complete defaults?.. Like all hidden partitions cleared to how it should be even to the partition format level and so on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoslaf:
http://d-h.st/4nP - this is "GB Flash kit", unpack it - in there you'll find 2.3.6 JW5 ROM, Odin v1.85 and also CF-Root kernel, after flashing this your phone will be ready to flash any stock or custom ROM ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persianfarshad:
try Ajoslaf files.

but if u flash stock 3 files rom, that is U want and no need any other work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbal:
Is this kit for Galaxy S i9000? Can you please confirm, my stock kit is the first 2.3.6 and I would like to use something newer (like JW5 is). Or is there a newer latest I9000 ROM from Samsung?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoslaf:
Yes it is 3-file stock JW5 ROM for SGS i9000 (from Samsung) +PIT512, JW5 is not newest, but for example in my country it is... there is already JW8 value pack.... just signup to http://www.samfirmware.com/, then type "i9000" in the search field and check the newest ROM for your country/carrier ;) ... I posted the GB Flash kit cause it is the best way to prepare your phone for flashing any ICS or JB ROM, also for flashing 1-file ROMs downloaded from samfirmware :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somniloquist:
Thank you all so much for your help. Ajoslaf. Downloaded your tool and keeping it ready just in case i get the issue back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
No NFC chip in the Epic 4G Touch, I'm pretty sure all other GS2 variants have NFC. Sprint thought we might put someone's eye out with it.

I was under the impression it was already confirmed like a month ago that samsung was working on JB for the international S2

(Had to correct myself, verified that it doesn't have NFC as I started reading more...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ebuc:
lol the idiots at samsung withheld the nfc chip because we got a led light for notifications.

pretty sure all the other SGS2 variants have a nfc chip but sprints.

smfh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadefactor:
For a 'flagship' phone. They sure left out some stuff and gave it some bad hardware like the GPS, no NFC chip, terrible ICS update. I'm curious to see if they short hand us on the jb update too.

Doesn't matter to be as long as JB source would drop it would open up the world to the devs to update and improve their ROMs.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
We have no indication that that's what happened. All the articles joked that they gave us one in place of the other. Presumably Sprint made the call about what they wanted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadefactor:
I just want an actual update. Not what they gave us with ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
I had mentioned several weeks ago that on a good tip/hunch we might start seeing JB leaks or at the very least RDF pages with 4.1.1 starting this week. I have not heard anything else from my source on the matter so it's either slow going or they are not ready to hand it off to Sprint just yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I'm not too worried about it, there's also the possibility of another rumor - there will be no JB leaks as it will be more tightly controlled than previous builds. Having said that, I think our man will be dropping official-like jelly beans before anyone else :highfive:.

It happens when it happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadefactor:
I like the sound of that!:highfive:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
Pretty sure we will see jelly bean its just a matter of when. They also announced a few middle of the road phones will get it so I can't see us not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mewmew!:
I'm an American currently living in Kuwait for work, and I was going to buy an S3 here. It comes unlocked and according to coworkers who have bought phones out here in the past, it will work in the US on ATT's network (and most importantly, it's red!).

Anyway when I go back to the US, assuming the phone as purchased will work on ATT like I think it will, what should I expect from customisation. I've never bought a non-US android before. I understand that roms usually come in US and International varieties due to hardware differences. If I put an International rom on my phone, can I expect it to work with ATT in the same way that the stock rom would?

And is there anything in particular that I should be aware of when buying and rooting/customising my new phone? (aside from the usual concerns about doing it correctly and such).

Thanks!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
My Xperia S recently took a fall, nothing actually seems damaged though, but now the phone will not boot and is constantly stuck in a bootloop. This was on stock ROM and was looping on the Xperia logo, did a repair via Sony software and no joy. Have now installed CM9 and still looping on the logo. It boots in to recovery fine and I can also mount the USB. Is there anything that may be damaged thats not so obvious to stop this from booting up?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Growly_:
As far as i know, you cannot corrupt data on a phone by dropping it. Of course you can defect parts of the device however, so i don't think this would be involved in the bootloop. Have you tried factory reset? Have you tried to flash a custom kernel / and or ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
Yeah given that's it's flash memory I didnt think I could break it. Have tried CM9 as mentioned in the OP and still stuck, have just formatted the SD card as well and will see if that helps, just flashing again now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Growly_:
Just CM9? Try Xcream, or another stock ROM. Let me know the results :victory:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
Same problem with LT26i_6.1.A.2.45_SG_Generic_(1257-6921).ftf will have to do Xcream tomorrow, need to reinstall custom kernal again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
Almost worked, it got further than most, got past the boot logo and loaded in to the Android is updating applications, where it just hung there instead. Have tried rebooting again and now just sticking on the bootlogo again. :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Can you flashmode and go back to stock. Could be you jostled something inside like the battery or one of the few components that are loose. I have torn down an Xperia s and there are a few things that could have been knocked loose in a fall.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
All functions are working in terms of fastboot, recovery etc, it just doesn't want to boot up past the logo. Tempted to strip it down and see where that gets me. Failing that it's a £50 excess insurance claim
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rhogz:
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
Before the drop it was locked, I reflashed an official ftf file via flashtool and still the same issue, I have since then unlocked the bootloadeer and installed custom kernel and custom ROMS and still nothing is getting past boot logo.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Abandoned-Trolley:
Ended up calling insurance company, only £30 excess and will get a new phone in 7-10 days :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amey_gangal:
Maybe this will work

cant say about it much..may be a hardware issue but u can sure try flashing the KA 12 rom or the Erachter rom.....it shows very less bootloop problems..or the best way will be to flash the official sony firmware through flashtool and use akramar ics kernel to get root...

When the phone starts now i get a nag screen from Sprint wanting me to activate my phone on their network. I can cancel out of it and my phone works fine. The other thing my phone is doing is its constantly stuck in roaming mode and the symbol no matter if im local or not stays on. Im not running any other operating systems on this phone only the stock one. Can anyone help me get rid of the roaming symbol and the sprint activate your phone screen please.

Hy,

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Mobistar pack in Belgium. I have none SIMLOCKS so my phone is completly unlocked for simcards.

But i have an other problem. There were some programs installed on the phone which are linked to Mobistar while i am not a Mobistar user i can't use any of these programs. So i wanted to uninstall those programs which i could not do. So i installed Android 2.3.6 for my Samsung Galaxy Pocket called S5300_XEN_1_20120629152607_q8beottx8t which i downloaded from CHECK FUS DOWNLOADER 2.1 for my region Belgium so i took Netherlands.

When i connect my phone to KIES then i get the message that my phone doesn't support software upgrade with KIES! :crying:

And my firmware is called S5300XXFL5/S5300OXXFL5/S5300XXFL5/S5300XXFL5 (MST):crying:. Which i think (MST) refers to Mobistar because it was a Mobistar Pack.

So know i want to know what i have to do to get rid of (MST) in the firmware so that i can get support again from KIES for software upgrades through KIES.

SO WHAT I HAVE TO DO OR HOW CAN I DEBRAND NAME FROM MY SAMSUNG GALAXY POCKET?

Thanks in advance already.

Hey question for all you under sprints employ. I am looking into a position at a local sprint store they are looking to fill. Sales/tech rep or whatever. I was wondering if any sprint guys would give me some info. Do you enjoy working for sprint? How is the pay? Whats an average paycheck between hourly and commission? How do they treat you? Is it hard to go to shool while working there? (Im in college) I have a fairly stable job right now but it doesn't pay very well and I hate it. The last time I was in the sprint store I knew twice as much about phones as the one guy and was helping customers around me. I think I would thoroughly enjoy it but am looking for the inside scoop...

Hey, I just started at a local indirect dealership 2 weeks ago. I'm a junior in college and I'll tell you that it doesn't interfere. Our store hours are from 9a to 6p so its not like an all day gig. This is an indirect store so sprint does not own it. We are like a liaison between customers and sprint. I'm treated very well and believe it or not, sprint does a nice job answering questions I have about sales, tech, markets or anything. I make 9 an hr plus com. And sprint has the my rewards program as an incentive.

Thats to funny i do the same thing in the store as well... Lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Sprint tech is an awesome job, if you know what you are doing. Also, the clientele of each particular store greatly affects how content you are in the job. I worked at an indirect dealer for many years. I loved it at one location, survived at another, and finally told the populace to stick their phones up their asses at the last one.

Most of the time people are cool, but other times you have ignorant assholes who can't understand how dropping their phones in a lake, IS THEIR FAULT. Sprint doesn't owe you the world because you pay for a service millions of others do.

Good luck in your endeavor, the only thing I can advise you, is to treat every person the way you would expect to be treated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cknuth:
Every job I have had has been customer service so I feel your pain. But I am also very used to that part of it. 9 an hour plus commission would be more than I now make which is itself enough incentive to try. I just met and chatted w/ the regional manager and could get an interview quick. I think it is an environment I would thrive in. I have experience for sales, passion for tech, and am quite familiar with android software. Thanks for the info guys

As a tech, its been the only job I haven't grown to hate after a year lol.

I really do love it. Could the pay be better? Hell yes. But the benefits are great. Do I feel under appreciated as a tech? Of course. But silently knowing you keep the wheels moving is gratifying. The only part that gets on my nerves is inventory. Techs are solely responsible for that, and it's just tedious. But the actual repair aspect is cake.

The ability to get free phones, whether it be through the advocate program or from the OEMs holding events where they give them away, is the best part, if you're a geek like me. I got my E4GT for free 3 months into the job, so I was pretty much hooked after that lol.
