well i feel like a total moron !!! lol

I had been being a script kiddie for the last few years and forgot my roots. I got it figured out and got the commands sent to fastboot in a CMD prompt.

Ugh, i gotta stop using google so much and finding all the easy ways out of things that others have already written.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated and worked a treat. I flashed everything and its working great again :)

i flashed to JM2 and noticed my mobile settings disappeared, i can't find any official information on this and want to try and avoid phoning o2 themselves.

does anyone know the o2 simplicity mobile settings?

hello mate,

have you tried this?

yea just kept coming up with an error.

o2 can be really bad sometimes. i found some settings on the website but there are so many different user/pass combos :/

Being used to cellphone audio quality (nokia 5800, SE W850) i know they are usually decent, but not more than that. So it didn't occure to me that i should try the player on the SGS i9000.

Today i finally did, to test the supplied earphones.

Hearing that the phone with the mediocre supplied earphones sounds good, i switched to my AKG K317.

HOLY *stuff that shouldn't be written here* THE SOUND QUALITY IS MINDBLOWING.

I don't know what the hell Samsung did here, but it appears that someone did something VERY right here.

Now i have no use for my Creative Zen, which is kind of sad.

If any of you still didn't try it- well, it's about time to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zvenn:
Agreed, it's amazing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheMaverick:
I'm not sure this suprises me tbh, Samsung know what they are doing in this field, more than a lot of other companies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] WiseDuck:
Not a big fan of the headset tho. I find it hurts after a while and in the stock music player there is no way to skip the current track. No skip, no fast forward, reverse etc. MixZing can skip tracks, but it's a bit iffy and that's all it can do.

I have yet to find a music player that is as good as the one on my old iPhone. On that phone I could skip, reverse, fast forward, pause, play etc with the headset. And I often used voice control to change playlists and shuffle the songs when I'm out bicycling. Can't do this on this phone right now and that is a problem.

Sound quality on this one isn't bad though.

Got any advice for me?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Apparently (there's another thread that talks about that) the Nokia remotes work since it's the same jack layout. I'll have to try that out since controlling the player from the remote is essential.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Totally agree with the OP. Music is awesome on this phone. Beats the HTC HD2 and the iPod. Together with the Sure SE500 and Dolby surround enabled on the Galaxy it is simply amazing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trancelated:
i agree, but the stock ear phones are funny :/

there's too much treble in it, and bass is low on high.

apart from that its an awesome phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
When GSMarena reviewed the Galaxy S, they described it as "perfect audio quality":

[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Finally a phone that equals or surpasses the iPhones in sound quality.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Better than iphone's music player? LOL. I'll have whatever pot you guys are smoking.

The sound in SGS is shallow, skips beats occasionally, and pauses occasionally, may be due to lags. It is also very lacking in functions and features.

iPhone's music player is miles ahead, if you really have been using both.

1. iPhone music player lets me combine music video and audio into a single playlist. SGS can't.

2. iPhone music player lets me continue to play the sound on video with the option of screen completely shut off, therefore good for listening to music videos without having to look at the picture. SGS can't.

3. iPhone music player lets me pause/play/skip/repeat songs entirely with the volume button, with the music running in both foreground and background and both screen on or off. SGS has an application in the market place to contra music totally with the volume button but the screen must be on, and music player must be the foreground task, so you can control it which surfing the net, for example.

4. iPhone music player has the option of displaying lyric while the music play. I'm not aware of such possibility. I'm talking about stock music player here.

5. iPhone standard headset also let me completely control the music playing (play/pause/skip/previous) with the control on the wire itself. What can the button in SGS's wired headset control? Limited, isn't it?

6. iPhone slider let's you slide either very fast or extremely slow depending on how far away you move your finger from the slider.

7. iPhone music player never ever pause, skip music. SGS does, which is one of the first things I noted and complained about.

8. iPhone music player does not require long media scan each time we reboot the phone. I don't even dare to put in all my 22 GB of musics on my SGS.

There are things i like more in SGS than iPhone, but music player and sound quality aren't among them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
From my experience, it all comes down to the right combination between the music player and the characteristics of the headset. For me the combination between the SGS and the Shure in ear phones is by far the best of all combinations I tried.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trancelated:
what model are you using appelflap?

I am pondering to get myself a sony/sennheiser soon..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
You're right there, appleflap, more expensive headset does make hugh difference, but this works for both if one is willing to spend that much more for expensive headset. Won't help with the skips, pause, long media scanning time when you want the entire collection of music in, and the limited fuctionalities that I mentioned though.

Personally, I much prefer connecting my SGS or iPhone to good external speakers. Wow, the sound depth and richness completely change with that set up. That's what I always do before bed. I miss the ability to just rest my finger on the volume button to completely control the music in iPhone, without ever have to turn on the screen. I don't like sticking anything into my ear while trying to get to sleep, although I have that option.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jmjacas:
Correct me if im wrong, but Apple uses a dedicated audio chip for music playing while samsung is just using the A8 CPU for it. This accounts for the crap battery life when playing audio on the Galaxy (barely 10 hours) vs 40 on the iPhone 4 and the better sound quality on the iPhone.

I basically went back to the iPhone because of this. For a phone that's touted as a multimedia powerhouse, not having a dedicated audio chip seems absurd to me. I work for 10 hours a day and I like to listen to music the whole time, with the Galaxy I'd go back home with 30% battery and only if I hadn't used the phone for anything else. With the iPhone I can play music all day and be back home with more than 75% battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
You can always buy a spare battery. Or better yet, buy 10 ( ebay sells them for 5$ the piece) and you can listen for 10 days to music. :D

iPhone can't do that that's why I even didn't consider the iPhone (kidding)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Those battery are useless. I've tried them. It's cheaper to buy the genuine one although they cost 20 times more. It turns out cheaper.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Yeah, I read that. I personally haven't any problems with it. I have had never any skip or pause. And as for the media scanning: I was pretty amazed about the speed actually. In contrast to my HD2 it is blazing fast. Scanning 14 Gb of audio files in just a few seconds is pretty amazing.

Maybe there are some problems with your SD card?

Haven't tried that set up. I use a iPod for an external speaker set up ;):)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
I just ordered 2 with a charger. I know they won't last as long as the original ones, but as spare batteries I expect they will do there job. (For my HD2 I also had those cheap ebay batteries and I was very satisfied with it)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I ordered two of those before. I gave a 5 star rating to them when I first got them. However, very very quickly the live shorten, and within a couple of months became useless. Now they no longer charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
for $5 a piece I can live with that (in fact i didn't expect more)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 71Kr117:
Here is a guide on upgrading an Axim X51v to WM 6.1, or WM 6.5.

This was originally posted on Mobilism.

NEEDED: Axim X51v (duh), PC (I don't have a mac and I am clueless about them) spare SD card (Min. 128 MB), SD card reader, charger (connected to cradle or via port, doesn't matter), and PATIENCE.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if you brick your Axim. Use caution.

1. Get a ROM. Links are attached to this post (because the forum will not let me put links in my post >.<)

2. Extract the ROM to the Desktop. You will need to install WinRar, which I've posted a link to. Drag the 2 files in the box that show up after clicking on the RAR file.

3. Now, put the SD card into the reader and plug it in.

4. Go to My Computer, (Computer in Vista and 7), find Removable Disk (or whatever you named it) right click it and click Format.

5. When you get a box that is labeled: "Format Removable Disk" (or whatever you named it), under "File system", select "FAT32".

6. Click 'Start" (on the box), then click "OK" again.

7. Wait. :D

8. When you get the box that says "Format Complete", Click "OK".

9. Go to My Computer, (Computer in Vista and 7), find Removable Disk (or whatever you named it) and open it.

10. Find the .nb0 and nb0_.crc files on your Desktop (that you extracted earlier) and drag them to the SD card.

11. Eject the drive. (Right click on the drive in Computer and click Eject)

12. Place the SD card into the Axim and do a Hard Reset. (Hard Reset by holding the Power button. While holding down the Power button, use the stylus to push the reset hole and then release BOTH. Then, press the Contacts button.)

13. Go into the SD Bootloader by holding down the Power button and the Wireless button. While doing that, use the stylus to push the reset hole. After pushing the reset hole, keep the Power and Wireless buttons pressed.

14. You should get a blue bar at the top of your screen that says "SD Image Update A10_G*" (* for any number.) If you do, go on to the next step, if not, go back to step 13.

15. When the black bar with white letters show up, press the button in the center of the D-Pad twice.

16. Wait. :D

17. When it says "Update Complete, please do hard reset", do a hard reset. (Hard Reset by holding the Power button. While holding down the Power button, use the stylus to push the reset hole and then release BOTH. Then, press the Contacts button.)

18. Enjoy WM 6.1 goodness!!! :D

Oh yes, and if for some reason you don't like WM 6.1, I've made an A12 ROM (Original Dell).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Steven855:
This looks very similar to my X50 unbricking guides sticky over at Aximsite. I would like to inform you that this is not new information.

Anyway, you forgot to mention the part about checking the crc address in the nb0 file before you transfer the files to the SD card. For that, you just download the crc calculator and run it with the nb0, and then check to see if what the crc calculator spits out is the same as what's in the crc file. If not, than copy the value from the crc calculator to the crc file and save the crc file.

I would also like to mention that this process can be done on MAC OS X, but you have to mess with a partitioner to do it.

I rooted and installed the leaked OTA. After hearing about the possible 2.2 I tried to downgrade the radio. Something messed up along the way and now I'm stuck with an incredible that is showing no internal memory (won't even let me save a picture), will not read an SD card and keeps rebooting when I remove the usb cable. I'm stuck in a real hard place. If anyone can assist me in restoring my phone and how to go about it, it would be appreciated. Also it is now showing my phone as an unknown device when I connect to the pc and I can not get into adb.

If you can get into clockworkmod recovery, we can get you back up and running.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
do a hard reset. if that doesnt work, take it back to vzw and make up a story on how it got the way it is.

I started following this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeuiURZZZds and after trying to run 'flash_image misc mtd0.img', it said I did not have enough memory so I just unplugged the phone and tried to reboot, but it brought me to the recovery console and it's the stock one. So the stock img was able to install. I don't even have clockwork now. :( I should have left it alone. I have a constant sd card icon with a ?.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
just hard reset or ruu . if this doesnt work, then i think you bricked your radoio. do you have 3g?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwathegreat:
Jd is right. Just ruu back to the leaked ota. If you can get to stock recovery you should be able to ruu. Once your back up and running we might be able to help you downgrade. First things first.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultmontra08:
Just tried the hard reset it was a no go. I have 3G service and I made some calls to make sure it worked. After the hard reset it is still showing the sd card icon with ?. For the RUU do I need any drivers because the phone is showing up now as an unknown device.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwathegreat:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
ruu is the way to go. your problem is more sever than hard reset fixijg.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwathegreat:
P.s. If you follow the downgrade tutorial by "IncredibleDoes" you can use an sdcard adapter and put the card into your pc (since your phone usb drivers aren't working), copy the "pb31img" file over, then reboot back into hboot, and it will put you right back to the original stock in one step.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
If you have a card reader on your pc, turn the phone off, put the card in the pc and make sure it's formatted properly. Then put the ruu file on the card. (Follow the instructions in the unroot sticky topic.) Then put card back in phone and boot into stock recovery. It should apply the update.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwathegreat:
Hboot is NOT going to downgrade....no matter what you do. The stock (pre-ota) rom will run fine with the newer hboot version.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Yes it will downgrade, as the ota leak is a newer version of .79. that is, if you follow the procedure right.

Also, yes you can downgrade the radio, in response to an earlier post.

If you got out of memory type messages running through that method, then you did it wrong. Maybe you tried it outside of clockwork? I haven't watched the video to do it, but seeing how I made the original post for it, I know it works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwathegreat:
Interesting! I wasn't aware of that breakthrough (hboot downgrade).

In that case, I suggest ruu'ing back to the leaked OTA (so that your USB and SD are both working again), then try following the instructions that adrynalyne referenced.

Good Luck.

I ruu'ed the img. The phone starts up and works normally. Except it still shows the internal and SD card memory as unavailable and the usb restarting after removing the cable. I tried to reload the leaked OTA through recovery, but it gets an error saying the file is not on the SD card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaydenR:
You might have to reformat your card. Save all the files to your PC and format the card. Then move your files back.

the phone is messed up. if ruu isnt working, i would tell you to exchange it with another in vzw.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultmontra08:
I formated the card, but it still doesn't show up. The internal memory isn't there either.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultmontra08:
Yeah, I guess it is. I still wish there was something I could do. Should I be able to do the RUU through the .exe or just pull the img file out of it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
the exe should work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwathegreat:
This sounds hauntingly familiar to a recent problem that HTC Desire users had - where usb only worked in hboot, and storage was unavailable.

As I recall, the solution ended up being rather simple. You might have a look in the desire forum about "usb bricking" I think is what it's called. Hope this helps.

That is to funny I was just saying to my wife the other day that I should make one of these programs seeing that there are none already. I hate having to manually kill my battery every night before I charge it again.

Is it needed? It depends on your school of thought, some say yes, some say no. All I know is that on the few devices I have had in the past, if I constantly plug them in to "top them off" then the battery never ends up lasting very long after a few months of doing that. So I am a believer in killing the battery before charging on devices like these.

So the bottom line is if there is a desire for this, I may try to put an app together for it, as I know myself I am interested I just didn't think many others would be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenny:
All the battery calibration tools, are basically deleting the file... right?

Is it that hard to boot into recovery and wipe battery stats?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
I think the second part has to do with hardware. The phones hardware just doesn't have trickle charge implemented and instead lets it drop back down to 90% then starts charging it again.

As for the second part, it came on our phones, even has a default widget. 4G :-P

Um... actually that is (by most accounts) bad for Li-Ion. You want to AVOID completely draining them. All of this stuff is more art than science, but I have way more often heard that completely draining LI batteries is bad. What kills them is the number of cycles they have been through (like -25 +25, -25 +25, -50 +50 would be a full cycle).

You do however want to give them a full up down cycle once in a while (maybe every 1-3 months) for calibration.

Then again, as I said, it is more art than science, and I have heard your method as being better, but the not draining argument seems to be the vast majority.

I'll try to do a little look-see and update this or repost if I find any stronger evidence.
