@alovell83

My baseband version is M110S.DH09.2134.St and my build number is ECLAIR.DH19. I guess we are on the same page. :)

I also tried using the phone before buying it to make sure I can make calls and texts and receive as well.

I encountered a problem wherein I was receiving delayed messages. I remembered I also had a problem similar to this with my previous phone. It seems that the 3G signal is interfering that's why my messages were delayed. I had to turn off the 3G and switch to GSM/GPRS (it was in automatic before). Then after that I was receiving my messages on time.

I noticed the Use only 2G networks in my phone is in gray, so I can't check or uncheck it. I don't know though if this has any impact.

Also, are you using the stock task manager or did you download a different one? I noticed that when i select ram manager-level 1 and 2- clear memory, it says that 29 programs exited..or 10 programs exited..I didn't know that I was running that many applications. I tried using Advance Task Killer, but I think its eating up my battery.

I checked in the running services menu, I noticed that GTalk keeps on coming back even if I try to close it. My AutoSync and Background Data Sync is turned-off. there were also some programs that I dont know off, like,VPNservice binder, eventreceiverService, SecSmsReceiverService and DMService. Do you have this applications running in the background as well?

@ulrauko

My phone is from Anycall but when I bought it was already unlocked that's why I was able to use my own carrier here. (Globe)

I called Globe to ask for settings for my phone, but apparently they don't have any yet. So I still won't be able to send mms. But I am able to connect to the internet through 3G. She game an apn address to manually put in and after that I was able to browse using 3G.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chester_go:
Now that the Korean Galaxy S has been mentioned, I just bought one a while ago.

Everytime I try to send out a text message, it tells me "invalid sender" and fails to send the message out.

I'm also from the Philippines and am using Globe Telco as my carrier.

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Is this your only network problem? Precious_mew seems to be having the same issue, see if you can get any information from your telecom and report back to help the community. I'll be starting a new thread tonight for this device, this thread is getting too big and the title is a disservice and even misleading to those who only read the title and see 3 pages of replies. I'll try to edit the new thread as I can with information to best support SHW-m110s users (Korean SGS).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chester_go:
nope, doesn't seem like it. tried it on a different carrier (Sun Cellular) and still got the same results.

it's quite interesting to note, however, that the phone number in settings>about is "unknown". I believe that the message centre number might also have something to do with this problem. However, I have explored the phone's settings, and seems like the M110s doesn't have such a setting to be changed.

please do indicate if the new thread has been started so we can transfer the discussion there.

thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chester_go:
UPDATE:

if I choose edit sender and input any random number, the message gets sent. my number reflects on the receiver's inbox as well despite my editing of the message sender field.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I was asking if you have other issues with the phone/carrier. Such as, can you receive text messages ok, can you access 3G, do all of your phone calls work, etc. Essentially, do you have nearly full phone functionality.

Thanks for the update. Where do you access this setting? In the message Menu > Sender information > input number? I ask because this seems like it'd work, but for me it is prefilled and it isn't editable (let me know so I can add it to the FAQ). Also, with your current settings are you required to input this for every outgoing SMS?

Thanks for posting

*edit* I failed to remember your message problem precious_mew, you said you had an issue with MMS not SMS.

Also, I think I forgot or was intentionally delaying responding to your last question. Either way, it's longer than I wanted you to wait, my apologies. I used to use ATK, then when trying to root my phone (before I found out I don't have 3-button recovery) I reset my phone. After resetting my phone I never reinstalled ATK. I feel better off for it, I never liked ATK much, but it was a bit of a habit to use. I only used it manually, I never liked the idea of having the process running in the background and wasting my battery (you can read a lot about that here, essentially it shuts down something and then Android launches programs in order to use your memory, that should be why GTalk is in the background (it isn't using data and you aren't signed in if you exit gtalk properly)). So, I might have GTalk in my used memory, I used to see it from time to time in my background, but it's more of "cached" rather than "running" in order to quick launch. Don't worry about it, just make sure to sign out when you are finished, you have to click the menu button > "more" > "sign out"...hitting the back button keeps you signed in and the process IIRC is still "running" not just "cached".

Your other running services that you saw in ATK was because you chose to use advanced mode. What I used to do when running ATK was I hid the weird services that seemed to launch frequently, they are probably required by android rather than app X. The other ones I would kill. Try to not use ATK for 3 days and see how you feel. The time/battery you save will be worth the occasional reset if you have to turn your phone off every few days (I don't seem to have that issue but older phones seem to).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chester_go:
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I haven't tested 3G. But am able to call, receive SMS etc.

It just sucks that I have to edit sender EVERY time I send an SMS.

Edit sender was accessed while composing a message. press menu>edit sender.

It's an editable field.

Does your cel# show in settings>about>status?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Yes it does, have you entered your APN information in settings> Wireless & Network > mobile networks > Access Point Names? Not sure if this will help at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chester_go:
Solved the Invalid Sender problem.

Grab an unlocked iPhone, insert your SIM and define "My Number".

The quirks I have as of now are:

No Facebook integration.

Korean characters on right side of contacts instead of the alphabet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
The "alphabet" is at the bottom of the list, under the Korean characters. I put that in parenthesis because I'm not sure it will actually do anything but skip to A and then Next Z. But at least it can get you to the beginning and end of your friends lists. Overall it's pretty dumb to have it this way when you are using English as the locale and text setting.

Hello! Confirming this trouble. I got unlocked shw-m110s via ebay. At the moment i am not able to use gprs/edge services. My op is MTS, what is yours?

I defined APN settings for MTS and confirmed "Data roaming" option (nothing happens without it). The only thing i have achieved is a 3g icon in status area though it is useless and i still have no data connection.

Do you have any new info on this trouble?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Which FW are you on? On the latest FW and I think even the one before, it seems harder to access the cell radio preferences, even the apps that have been written by Appleflap and another user seem to no longer function with the secret codes :mad:. I dunno if this was intentional or a mistake by Samsung. If you have an older FW I strongly encourage trying to force your cell radio into accepting a certain signal (such as WCDMA only but I think that'll be the least likely to help, HSPA only I can't remember if that is a choice but it sounds familiar). It's really hard for me to help you with my new FW, but I encourage you to check back here to see if you get your response and to also post over at our new thread where we might be able to get more user assistance in one place:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pyromaniac84:
Hello! Thank you for the link provided. I already updated to the latest fw available via kies so i can not check your proposal.

Yesterday's evening i got a strange but nice result. After i connected to a wifi point at my home, 3g icon in status area did not disappeared (it did on my HTC G1 i had about a year ago). Then i browsed internets, downloaded a pair of apps from market. I turned off wifi then, but noticed some activity on 3g icon. I checked connection using default browser... And realised that connection is up!!! I was able to perform some testing queries to google and browse market apps.

For the night i brought my phone to flight mode. And at the morning i turned this mode off, and phone successfully turned data connection on. I was able to browse internet and market.

Looks like the last issue with my phone has been resolved, though i do not understand how these actions may have led to such result...

P.S. I'm curious if there is a tv-out on shw-m110s? I cannot find the settings for it on my device. Cannot say this is must-have feature but this option is nice IMO.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Khazar_2020:
I recently bought Anycall Galaxy in Philippines also, wifi works fine but I have same problem connecting 3g internet via this phone,..still couldnt connect,

could you post the manual settings that work with globe philippines 3g network ?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ulrauko:
Hi. I use MTS as well. I confirmed data roaming, but I cannot get 3g icon/ How did you do it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pyromaniac84:
Did you specified APN settings? Do the following:

Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names -> New APN (option in context menu)

Name: whatever you want (i have "MTS internet")

APN: internet.mts.ru

Login: mts

Password: mts

Save. Then select the newly created APN - green dot should appear at right. After that just turn on "Data roaming". 3G icon should appear then. You will also receive a popup notice warning you about additional fees when using data connection while roaming.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ulrauko:
I did all of this. I copied all settings from my friend who has working galaxy-i9000. Nothing helps. And ¨3g data call settings¨ remain grey, I cannot even set it up. As if data calls are barred somehow. I´m thinking about reflashing my phone with korean rom (found it on some chinese website). If anybody can point me a way to unlock 3g option, Iĺl be grateful.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pyromaniac84:
This is very strange. What fw version do you have? I updated my fw to the latest official via Kies.

Same here. Despite that, data connections work even over 3g.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ulrauko:
I use latest official firmware via Kies, so it should be the same with 3g, but no, not a sign. what did you set in t roaming>> network setting? is it gsm or wcdma? what about system seection? is it automatic or manual?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pyromaniac84:
I've sent you a PM

I have the same issue. No 3g after upgrade to latest firmware via skies DH19. before upgrading i use firmware dh07 and can use 3g.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appagom:
I only scanned the whole thread and see no update of original post, but I have the korean version... operating it in korea (SK). It is not laggy (at least not so as I'm bothered) SMS works, wifi tethering works out of the box, 3g (and HSDPA) works (include data call setting). I haven't found anything that isn't working. Mine is pretty new though, came with DH19 firmware.

firmware: 2.1-update1

Problem: SHW-m110s data connection not working AFTER firmware update, and SamSung's answer why.

Have a SHW-110S. Bought one in Korea 3 weeks ago. Works wonderfully there.

Brought it to the US, put in a AT&T sim, and it works. Voice works, data works (but only G, not 3G, not EDGE), SMS works (but can't send Korean characters. Eng. works fine. Can receive Korean, too). Haven't checked GPS. Everything else seemed work fine.

Then the machine was becoming really slow, perhaps because I put too many test apps. So time for a factory reset, which frequently do with my all smartphones. After the reset, data connection gone. (BTW, I read several similar posts here, data not working after the firmware upgrade) Tried everything, including rooting and upgrade to newer firmware. No go. Spent 2 miserable weekend nights. Then Monday in Korea comes, and got an answer from Samsung rep to my email support request. And here is the rough translation:

"We are sorry. The data connection problem with SGS in the US is due to the carriers request to deactivate it. We will try to activate it by working with the carrier in the future. Sorry" What? Then why did it work before I reset the phone? That was my next email question for them, and I haven't heard from them.

Any ideas or suggestions from here? Would anyone be able to hack into to 're-enable' the data connection? Anyone, anyone? Thanks. (I just want one phone that works in Korea and the US. I travel often, and it's really annoying to carry 2 phones, chargers, batteries, etc., and sync two phones. I know I can get an iPhone in the US, and get it authenticated in Korea and use it.., but it's an iphone, come on..)

BTW, dial: 319712358, pass:774632, on SHW-M110S, and it will bring additional setup menu, which includes network, videocall, USIM, SIM, SOUND, system, autoanswer settings. And no, none of the setting helped with the data connection problem.

How do you guys connect to 3G in the philippines via Globe carrier?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gto406:
Hello, new to XDA

I too purchased a Korean Anycall SGS SHW-M110S, while traveling in Korea.

It has worked well as a regular cellphone (voice, and SMS work fine) here in Canada with my Rogers SIM. The 80 char limit on SMS is a real pain but I don't find the device slow as others have reported.

I tried using Kies (with the SGS connected via USB, note debugging was ON) to connect and upgrade the firmware. It backs up my contact data, then I receive a dialogue box saying:

Model Name: SHW-M110S

Current Version: PDA : DG14 / PHONE : DG07

This device's version cannot be updated.

The 'Upgrade' button is greyed out, and I can only 'Cancel' out of the upgrade operation.

Anyone have any ideas? I also tried unlocking this phone, but at the moment it is unclear whether the phone can be unlocked (SGS Unlock returns 'null' for the two codes).

Details of my SGS are as follows:

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: M110S.DG07.1842.ST

Kernel version: 2.6.29 root@sep-52 #2

Build #: ECLAIR.DG14

Many thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gto406:
Okay, figured it out (thanfully I found it buried in the Korea thread).

If anyone trips over this, you need to reinstall Kies, and set the country to Korea, and your appropriate language (mine also updated Kies itself). It is running the update now.

Seems odd that Kies can 'block' the device from being upgraded (i.e. I am not in Korea, device SK Telecom/Korean) and it won't permit an upgrade, yet when I overtly set the country-code it wakes up and does the right thing. It must (in the absence of my locale settings) have some idea the device was provisioned out of Korea, and what revision it was/is currently on. Seems strange it couldn't use that info to derive which back-end server to contact?

Oh well, strangeness of Samsung/Android I guess 8^)

Thanks.

SMS ,Radio and 2g/3g internet not working in Korean Galaxy S SHW M110S...Please Help

Hi, Everyone

I got one Galaxy S SHW M110S unlocked phone from korea through a friend. I was not aware of versions of galaxy S.

In india I am facing problem with SMS (Invalid Sender, Sender Name and character limitation of 80), not able to browse internet through 2g/3g.

I am new at this forum, because this thread is so long I am unable to understand what should I do. many apps are in korean language how to delete those apps (e.g. NATE etc) ?. how to tune radio for FM radio in india, do i need to dowenload tuner for that? Do i need to upgrade firmware ? how to do it ?

Somebody please tell me steps to sort out above problems. I am struggling for so many days.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sieucap:
Install titanium backup first. It can help you get rid of the default system apps like NATE.

Then uninstall the default SMS and replace with GoSMS. It can send up to 13x characters. If you want 160, you need to use custom ROMs. You also need to add phone number to your SIM card to avoid some SMS problems. You can use an iPhone or old Nokia phones or a Sony P990i to add phone number. If you don't do this, it will bug you everytime you send an SMS.

ITo upgrade FW, you need to install Kies in Korean and select English when you run the app. The latest FW is WF07. It can be upgraded via kies.

About FM, I never use it before so no idea.

I just want to be able to go into my music, and see the list of albums with the correct album art. then click on it and list all songs with correct names in that album.

I click on my mixzing music player, and i do see album's with album arts but some of them only have 1 track in where there should be about 22 (the full album) the album I have for example(now thats what i call music 72) has 5 selections which contains..

1 song

1 song

1 song

19 songs

1 song

so whenever i want to play the full album. I either have to play the 1 song and then switch or play the 19 songs and miss out on the 4 other songs. All songs are from the same album not sure why its doing this??

anybody got on tips on the best way to set up my music ?? thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] herald83:
I use Media Monkey to organize my music on my desktop, which is rather robust when it comes to tagging. Make sure that all the tags are the same. I've had to fix a few when dumping music on my Droid, and as long as the tags are right and the music is organized properly you should be good to go.

Generally speaking, my tracks are organized as such on the SD card.

/sdcard/Music///

I'm not sure if the physical arrangement comes into play or just the tagging, but I'm pretty meticulous when I rip/download music so I would have to play with it to find out. At the very least, it won't hurt.

I use a widget called Tariff Watcher Widget - you can set what your free minutes/texts are each month and when the billing cycle starts and it shows a usage bar and number :)

I also use Data Watcher Widget to watch Data/Wifi and Roaming data usage - tapping it brings up some little icons that can be used to turn Wi-Fi on/off, get to Wireless and networks settings and seettings for the app

Unfortunately being a new user I can't post the app brain links :S

MicroSD: Genuine Sandisk 32GB card from a reputable retailer.

ROM: Stock 1.72.831.1 Hong Kong.

I loaded all my music and some games onto the card and found that using Battery Log which I found on here that my phone was going from 100% > 87% overnight with everything off which translates to 16ma idle with Battery Log. With the card on the table overnight that the phone went from 100% > 97% or the same numbers when I put in a 2GB and 16GB cards that I have lying around. I've had the phone for 6 months and these are my consistent figures. With these cards inserted, Battery Log registers approximately 4ma consumption at idle.

I then formatted the 32GB Sandisk card using windows 7 (I'd been using the phone's utility until now) and did a full format at FAT32 with default cluster allocation as a last resort and left it empty without any files whatsoever. Well, Battery Log is still reporting the same 16ma consumption at idle and I'm out of options here so I've come to the masters here at XDA for their thoughts.

I never get any errors from the card, have filled it. The only unusual behaviour is from the idle.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
plug the phone in overnight???
[HD2 General] airwater9:
I want to solve a technical problem for myself and other users about correct idling and memory card problems not just get by on a charger.

My phone used to give me 2 days moderate usage on a single change. With your solution I would get 2 days on standby with zero usage. Or that's 40% drain over 24 hours instead of the previous 10% drain while idling - big difference and reason I want to get to the bottom of it.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I don't see it as a problem, it's a known fact that the phone uses more charge when the SD card is in use.
[HD2 General] airwater9:
I don't think you've read my post correctly. My post is regarding my new card not allowing the phone to go into idle where previous ones have and yes, it is an issue for me.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Your post states the phone goes into idle, with a higher mA consumption. So it is idling, it's just drawing more current, maybe it's a design flaw of that certain class/size of SanDisk card?
