Other Samsung devices with similar problems:

screen is white? battery is boiling hot? why

Galaxy S2 with CM9 stable "crashes" (black screen)

In the last post, it seems a kernel issue. Changing the kernel, the problem is solved.

GPU overheating (blank screen of death)?

With the stock rom at higher temperatures I never had this problem. Reaching the same temperature, there is no problem using the device if I do not lock it. The issue only appears when I try to re-activate the device from lockscreen.

Does anybody but me noticed strong phone heating when WIFi AP is running on build 18.07?

After 10 minutes in AP mode phone is much hotter, than after 6 hours of 100% CPU load by BOINC working on charger...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xenas:
The last build 18-8-2013, is allways making bad connections to my Wi-fi signal.

I have to be very near to the AP to make it work, or else it just disconnects from it. I never had this issue before.

Anyone else with this problem ?

Im new & needing tutorial

Hi im new to this forum, modding & android so i have no idea how to install the mod. my phone isnt rooted but its unlocked. fist of all do i need to backup my phone through a special app or kies is fine ? (i dont mind downloading apps again i just care about contacts and stuff). can someone send me the installation steps / tutorial ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Yuri_PL:
Data from internal & external SDCard can be copied by simply connecting Phone to PC and just copy - pasting, but they shouldn't be lost while flashing. Anyway, its good to make a backup.

You can make copy of near all data including telephony storage (contacts, SMS), apps and their data using Helium: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en

After installing this app You can make backup of applications & telephony storage, then install Helium again on new ROM & restore them. Since You have not rooted phone You must install Helium by this procedure: http://www.clockworkmod.com/carbon

Then open Helium on Android, Select everything (or only part, as You wish), and select backup (i think You should select external SD as target).

On CyanogenMod, since its rooted out of the box, just install Helium from Google Play, open him and restore backups.

This build has bug in WiFi drivers. There is no working fix in this moment, so we must wait for repair. Details here: https://github.com/TheWhisp/android_device_samsung_msm7x27a-common/issues/30

Kernel Version

Hi The Whisp.

1) It seems that a new kernel version is out : 3.0.93.

2) The white screen seems to be indeed linked to temperature because when it happens my phone is hot

Happy to help you.

Hello fellow users ,I'm trebon user and I'm really curious why do you really want the OTG support when you can easily transfer any data through PC/Laptop .I don't have OTG cable ,neither do I need it till I have Laptop and cable to connect my phone ,Can someone tell me what is the point of using it
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Yuri_PL:

MAC changes, Storage unavailable

Hello, I have two questions (for the moment):

1.) When I control my 6500s MAC adress in my router, I wonder why it changes each time its connects.

I think, this it, what causes some other problems when trying to use my FritzBoxFon with 6500.

MAC adress starts always with 00:12:34 , only the last three pairs change.

Whats wrong?

2.) Sometimes the device can't read the 'internal SD', so that some App cannot work properly.

When starting app: "DiskUsage" I see the 'Storage card', but there is no information to get.

After connecting the phone to PC AND activate it (on the phone-screen) the phone can use storage as usual.

This fixed the problem always, but I dont have PC with me all the time.

Whats wrong here?

but:

First of all I want to give a big THANKYOU to TheWisp, The Great Developer ! You did -nevertheless- a very good job. :good:

And many thanks to all the other helping people ! :good:

Hi, [MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION]:

I attach two logs to try to find something about the white screen.

In the "cold.txt" log, I went to sleep mode and woke the phone two times, without problems.

In the "hot.txt" log, after heat up the phone on a warm surface, I went to sleep mode and had a white screen two times. Then I cool the phone and tried to woke up it again, with success.

The temperature on the warm surface is about 40ºC. Heating up the phone during 10 minutes was enough fo me to reproduce the white screen problem.

I'm not familiar with the posting of logs. If you need something larger or take the logs using another method, let me know.

Hey guys, i have been reading arround about the unofficial release of 4.2.2 and i saw as bug the problem with charging in offline... What does this actually mean ?

CM10.1

Hey guys, i've recently installed CM10.1 ob my s6500D, and i've been confrunting some issues...

To begin with, the CM10.1 is the latest build the one done on the 20th this month,

I had installed also the semy latest gapps from wiki.rootzwiki. com because the one in the official tutorial was not booting ok, it was giving me the error or tutorial error , and that gapps is could not load, so i've got 20130812 .

With this release folowing precisely the instructions on the forum ( with wipe data and format system ) got it booting and working. Now at the "configuration"screen, when i select the wifi, it doesn't connect.

After booting and setting some things here and there ( like screen, 2g/3g network ) i am forced to use for the time beeing 3g data plan, but after connecting to the wifi ( forgetting the network and reconecting, ) the internet is still not working. I had stopped the 3g data network, and still no go.

After the mobile goes to sleep ( i hadn't done anything to the lock screen ) the screen is white. Even if i start it or do'nt start it it doesn't matter can't touch it... If i leave it like that it turns ok after a time...

When i boot my device, it doesn't connect automatically to the wifi, and when it's authenticating, the bar goes to extreemly low ( like no signal ) even if the signal is strong and the wifi is 2 feet away from me.

After a reboot, i have to forget and reset the wifi network ( password wise ) i use wpa2... and this doesn't work always... i have to turn off the wifi, turn it back on, and then with some luck i'll connect maybe... still no luck on getting internet via my wifi ...

Ohh ya and hold on to your hats, on wifi i got it working i got a trumendous speed of 1Mbps ... and then dissconnect.... why is this ?

LE. I think i've found the problem with the wifi, i have a TP-Link Router, which i've set for the frequency for Romania, unfortunetly the software do not know these frequencies... therefor... i was forced to move it to Germany and it worked... but not the speed rate for my indoor devices is lowered... :(

Le2: to get it out of ... lock mode i have to long press the home button, i had tryed all other combinations... nothing else works, not even changing the background collor...

and not even that works, if the slider is off... then pressing the button volumes work.. but then the wifi and all other widgets are turned off... and it reconects to the wifi ( although the wifi is set to be on while in sleep mode )

Also after this update i see that i cannot connect to Kies ... Why is that ? I had tried to reinstall the drivers but still no luck... :(

I'm stuck on 0718 build of CM10.1, CM10 can't boot even after totall wipe, newest 10.1 causing battery drain, 10.2 is to early and incomplete and stock working horribly. Now remain only hope for fixing Gapps battery drain in next build...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
CM10 boots. Every release is tested before uploading.

The battery drain is nothing ROM related

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tekkenl0rd13:
are you guys sure that its GAPPS?

because mine also drains battery fast on the latest build of CM10.1 but not because of gapps,

its something that the phone doesn't enter on deep sleep, it remains on 245MHz.

proven via CPU spy, I leave the phone idle, without sms, calls, no counts on deepsleep, only on 245MHz idle.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Yuri_PL:
Yes, see my previous post:

Apparently Gapps are preventing phone frome enter into deep sleep mode.

Nothing about white screen, but I didn't try my phone in hot conditions with the new build.

The unlock screen layout is better than in previous version. Now I can see the numeric keyboard and there are not hidden parts on their buttons. Anyway, the date, under the hour in unlock screen, is hidden. A minor layout problem.

Let's say I flashed CM build and I forgot to make backup of stock Gingerbread rom. How can I revert back to Gingerbread. I heard someone had problems with Odin so I need suggestions here :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] blinqipa:
Just download the .pda /.pit of your device ,flash it through odin 1.84 (if I'm not wrong ) and flash it normally as a stock ROM/firmware ;)

Is AOKP abandoned ,is there any way of fixing camera on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] KorDen32:
You can download original ROM from SamMobile ( sammobile.com/firmwares ) and flash it via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mat_yan:
I did that and got message like "wrong .pit file". The file I flashed via Odin was xxxxxxx.tar.md5 (from SAMMOBILE) and what is .pit file? Is it the ROM It self?

Edit:

Here's what I did

1. from cm10 directly reboot in recovery mode

2. Wipe

-factory reset/data

-cache

-dalvik cache

-format system

-format data

-format emmc

3. Remove battery and put it back

4. Get into download mode

5. Flash the files which I downloaded from sammobile via Odin

6. Flashing few seconds..... and then boom Odin says Fail while phone says wrong pit file.

I have done it many times and always successful when phone in Gingerbread but not in CM10
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ~Silver:
Could someone answer my question, please?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mat_yan:
Your words are kinda of confusing :p

If there is any new build, just download it whether from PC or phone or any devices and transfer it to your sdcard, then instal it using recovery

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nukedone:
The best, but

As first, hello everybody. Developers, keep up the good work.

I have tried many roms on my device. I am following dev part of 10.1 on this forum, kinda got familiar with all the issues.

The best build for my Samsung Galaxy S6500D is 10.1-20130707-unofficial-jena. Why? Because camera works, everything works, and what is most important, no white screen when unlocking the phone. The only thing that I miss here is cifs.ko module, which, as I have concluded is not the part of this build. I can stick with this build as long as 10.1 gets the white screen issue fixed.

And, since I googled for three days trying to get my cifs shares to work, and could not find the solution, I feel free (humbly free:angel:) to ask is anyone knows how to port cifs into the 20130707.

Regards!

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pcgaldo:
Yes, I have white screen on unlock when the phone is hot. I'm using the 20130830 release.

If I plug the charger, lock the screen and unplug the charger, the unlock screen appears, even when the phone is hot, without white screen problem. :what:

I can confirm that I have better battery performance than in previous versions. In the previous release the battery discharged in less than 24 hours. With this release I can use the phone during 36-48 hours with the same software and use conditions.

Seems that there is some problem with wifi connecting.

VPN works, Cifs worked since 3008.

Whitescreen is still there.

Downgrading to 0707
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pcgaldo:
White screen is still with me. When the phone is really hot, there's not workaround to access the unlock screen, only wait to get it colder.

It's a problem when I travel in my car, charging and using Bluetooth and GPS. I can use always-on screen while charging, but when I unplug the charger, if the phone goes to lockscreen, then I need to wait some minutes to use it. If someone calls me just in this moment, I have a problem.

With this revision the unlock screen layout is completely fixed and the battery consumption seems to be the same of previous version.

Little by little you are making perfect roms to extend the usability of our devices. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nukedone:
True

Yes, indeed, it is nearing perfection, as far as I am concerned.

I thing I'm going to try to flash with the older version of CWM.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
actually they didn't, I forget his name, but someone from XDA found the exact property that fixed the crash.

if swap needs to be enables. then we cant use zRAM? coz swap will brick the phone like squadzone done when enabling swap.
