I need to know how i can unlock my samsung seek please help:d
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Numsefis:
Hello Guys...

Just rooted my phone, using this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711907

But after root, tried to install Set CPU, but it says there is no root access....

Is there a way to confirm, if the device is rooted?

When i launch the superuser application, nothing is shown in the program, can only set preferences for the app....

What do i do wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mackdaddy187:
Did you install busybox? I forgot to do it and Apps could not access root but I realised my mistake and opened the busybox installer app
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Numsefis:
Busybox is just saing "waiting" and that the phone isn't rooted...

Is it neede to re-flash the phone with the guide?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tclolo:
i uninstalled busybox after i rooted my x10i, i dont know what is it for so can anyone tell me whats busybox for do i need it for later use? thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
as 4 root issue, I had same problem once.. im on x10i, I did I either step 2 o 3 again n it was fine (not sure which step deals with rooting the phone.. but it wil b the one needed to be done) - not sure about how it would work if your have a x10a!

Hope it helpz!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kishen80:
whre to download busybox
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
Busy Box is something that you install on your Droid to give you some additional handy LINUX / UNIX based commands. You need Busy Box installed because some commands are not available to you and you made need them for some root level tasks.

As for downloading it should be available in market!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Numsefis:
Tried to root one more time...

Then i succeeded to gain root access :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
Glad to hear!!
[Droid Incredible General] nightxda:
Someone please help a noob, I cannot seem to be able to use adb in recovery after root.

I can type adb remount and it succeeds, then i type adb shell and get ~# instead of #.

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
It's just a prompt. You could change it yourself to something else if you wanted...

~# export PS1="> "
>

Now the prompt is > instead of whatever it was.

The # normally indicates you have root.

What are you trying to do? Did you try doing a command from that point on?
[Droid Incredible General] nightxda:
I am trying to restore internal memory on cm6, commands are not working.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
You can tell from the flood of responses that no one is quite sure what you are actually doing.

Some specifics will most likely provide better support as to what you actually trying to do.

What commands, what were the responses etc... specifics. The prompt most likely has nothing to do with your problems.

Kinda like dropping off your car at the mechanics before hours and leaving a note "Car has intermittent problem, please fix".
[Captivate General] reuthermonkey:
Over in this thread in the GalaxyS forums, they have found a Debug menu which allows users to enable hitherto hidden bands on their international GalaxyS devices. Specifically, the 850mhz 3g band.

I tested this on my US T-Mobile Vibrant. We found that the Vibrant - although a T-Mobile phone - supports the 850 AND 1900 UMTS/WCDMA bands. No other T-Mobile phones supports 1900 or 850 UMTS, so it looks like Samsung is using the same internal hardware on almost every galaxyS.

So if they are using identical hardware, i'm curious if the Captivate actually supports the 1700/AWS band used by T-Mobile USA, and Wind Canada.

Can a nice user go through their menus and help me out?

Do this:

1. on the phone dialer keypad, type *#*#197328640#*#*

2. Select [1] Debug Screen

3. Select [8] Phone control

4. Select [7] Network control

5. Select [2] Band Selection

6. Select [4] Combi Bands []

You should see a list of supported bands for GSM and UMTS (WCDMA). Can anyone say if the Captivate also supports 1700?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
No. [2] Is band selection, not network selection. And when I pressed it, I got an error "RAT Selections Option is Restricted!"
[Captivate General] reuthermonkey:
thanks - fixed the OP.

Is your phone rooted?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Yes, its rooted.

Also, after going through that menu, I lost my 3G data connection. I had to turn off/on to get it back.
[Captivate General] dewt:
I have:

GSM 850 [*]

GSM 900 [*]

DCS 1800 [*]

PCS 1900 [*]

WCDMA 2100(FDD I)[*]

WCDMA 1900(FDD II)[*]

WCDMA 900 (FDD VIII)[]

WCDMA 850 (FDD V)[*]
[Captivate General] reuthermonkey:
Ahh, no 1700. Tis a shame.

But it's good to know that the TMO GalaxyS can use ATT 3g when unlocked.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I wonder why you were allowed into that menu but I was denied it. I got an message about RAT settings not being allowed to be changed.
[Captivate General] sparks.calvin:
I have seen in the captivate Dev section threads about fixing 3G by updating to the I9000 Modem firmware or something like that

Does anyone think this would also allow TMO to get 3G on the captivate or perhaps installing the vibrants modem firmware???????
[Captivate General] giz02:
I'd say probably not.

I would imagine that the hardware (antenna) is missing for those frequencies. We had the same questions for the i8910 when it was released.. would it work in N/A on 3G? The answer was no.

The explaination is that the phones run the same base firmware, but some hardware in not available to some of the software options in the firmware, hence access denied, loss of connectivity or simply no message.
[Captivate General] startngate:
I have:

MAIN MENU

[1] DEBUG SCREEN

[6] COMMON

There is no 'Band Selection' menu at all for me.
[Captivate General] catire:
According to the fcc the captivate does not support aws and the vibrant supports only the 1900 band not the 850.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
I would bet the physical radio and antenna are both there but simply disabled somehow. We have the FM receiver that is disabled but it's still there. If I had to guess, the Vibrant, Captivate and I9000 are probably all physically the same.

I know HTC makes some of their devices for all supported frequencies and then they selectively disable the one's not supported/wanted for a specific carrier.
[Captivate General] SeaborneClink:
I also got this on my captivate, however it worked just fine on my vibrant.
[Captivate General] AllGamer:
over at the main SGS forum

we already did the test, our phones are hardware band locked, it's not a software thing

we tried flashing a 850/1900/2100 to a UK phone, and a 900/1900/2100 to a US phone, and although everything works, you still do not get the radio band as the actual hardware is not there

so even if you flash a 1700/1900/2100 from USA vibrant onto the Canada vibrant it will not pickup the 1700/2100 band because the hardware is not there, even though there are network that runs at 1700 here.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] voltiger:
Hi @all.

I'm using google sync (via Microsoft Exchange) on my TD2 (WM6.5, Yin08-ROM) to sync my data (mail, contacts, calender). I also use the HTC facebook-app to connect the facebook-profiles to my contacts and sync the contact images. In the contacts list, all synced facebook images are okay. but if i have an incoming oder outgoing call, there is no image of the contact, which was synced via facebook. Do you have an idea how to fix that?

I allready tried "GoogleFacebookSync" but the image-quality is poor and I don't want to manually sync my contacts via the PC every month or week.

Thanks for your help.

(I used Microsoft Outlook to sync my contacts since last week and everything worked fine. sonce I'm using google, the facebook images are gone on incoming or outgoing calls.)
[Captivate General] derek4484:
So yesterday I downloaded Nesoid and a handful of ROMs for my Captivate. I had some fun playing them, but using the on screen virtual keyboard was really hard and it covered most of the gaming action. So I see that the new psx4droid supports wiimote. So I emailed the developer of Nesoid and suggested that he add that capability to his too and that other than that its a great emulator. He emailed back and this is his response

What does this actually mean? Is there another app that I have to download and install first to get the wiimote to connect to my phone via bluetooth?

I dont have a wiimote yet, and before I go buy one, I'd like to know exactly how it works, if it will.
[Captivate General] DraxusD:
Search for "Wiimote controller" on the market, should work.
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
You can use a few bluetooth gamepads with android. One being

MSI Bluetooth Gamepad (BGP-100) which is a weird kinda swivel thing. I am going to gut a SNES controller and put the BGP-100 into it. It has been done before and everything seems to fit fine.

There is also another bluetooth controller made for blackberry's that works with android. It is vertical gamepad with a trigger control. Seems pretty nice.

I think you have to buy a market app to get the drivers to make the above 2 gamepads work.

Also as mentioned you can use a wiiremote as a gamepad for android. I have been looking for a wii classic controller + wii combo, so it does not have to be tethered to a normal wii controller to work. I want small and portable bluetooth with a dfecent amount of buttons that is why I am going with the SNES form factor.

Free, although it does say there isn't galaxy s support....so it might not work.
[Captivate General] ranova:
wiimotes currently do not work on the SGS phones because of the bt3.0. not sure on the other BT controllers
[Captivate General] pezx44:
Are there any controllers that can be plugged in? Just wondering for flights...
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Well I emailed the developer of Wiimote Controller and asked if they could update to support Galaxy S phones. This is there response:

Doesnt sound good for us getting to use a wiimote as a gamepad :(

Trying to play Nesoid with onscreen vitrual controller sucks, its too hard and I'm afraid of breaking my phone. Every time I get into the game and start tapping A or B rapidly I can feel it flex and creak in my hands.
[Captivate General] Sublim3_Tilt:
Just wondering in anybody has made progress on getting a bluetooth controller for the captivate/galaxy s?
[Captivate General] Jaimizzle:
Ive been looking into it...and came to a bunch of dead ends aswell :sigh:
[Captivate General] onedog31:
Please let me know if anyone finds a controller that works.

Thank you,

[Captivate General] kiltedthrower:
Speaking of games...

I wasn't able to find any in the market but I'm rooted so I know I can find games from other sources.

Are there any games like Alone in the Dark (horror genre) or fantasy role playing that would have the same type of graphics you'd see in WoW that I can put on my Captivate?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] izmenar:
Samsung has a microUSB cable able to release the video signal to HDMI

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kramiz:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rawat:
It's not been officially documented as supported, so i'm still a bit sceptical.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Chainfire:
It's unclear if the i9000 supports this AFAIK. It seems at least the Vibrant and Captivate will support it, but no mention of i9000.

See here: http://briefmobile.com/galaxy-s-does-microusb-to-hdmi
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rawat:
I stand corrected. If it works for the yank models, there's no reason why it shouldn't work for us. I knew of the cable before, just didn't think the SGS hardware supported it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
In stock here

http://www.myluxphone.com/samsung-ecc1hsabbebstd-hdmi-cable-original.html

However the place looks shady imo.. and doesn't accept paypal.

This place too, but they list 2 model numbers though, so I think it may be the wrong cable (too hard to tell if it's microusb by the image).

http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/ECC1HSABBEBSTD.html

EDIT: DON'T BUY! confirmed wrong as instinct has a proprietary jack not micro-usb.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rawat:
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...subsubtype=data-cables-kits&tab=accCompatible

Doesn’t list galaxy s as a compatible product. I saw this a month ago, and dismissed it – without any confirmation, I’m taking this with a pinch of salt.

It seems to me that some blogs just saw the product on their pages, and assumed it would work with the Galaxy S series of phones. If it did work, I think Samsung would have marketed it as such.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
I was also very doubtful at first, but the source is samsung usa's website itself... guide to tv-out clearly shows micro-usb to hdmi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rawat:
But it doesn't list Galaxy S as a compatible device. Besides, if it was, I think Samsung would have marketed it as such.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] trancelated:
there are lot of things Samsung didnt tell us about GTI9000

like the quick search key, remocon, mobile tracker, TV out, etc. etc.,
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rawat:
Not sure what remocon is.

Holding down the menu button to search is a replacement for the dedicated search key that Google says you must have. (They want 4 buttons: search, home, menu and back)

Tv out via 3.5mm jack was also advertised. Mobile Tracker... That's just software
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
Look at this vibrant FAQ

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=310316&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=560&EMAIL_ID=

This link aswell (captivate)... but it has since been removed!?!?! Pretty sure yesterday this FAQ also had the hdmi info 0_0... Maybe samsung has picked up on an error?

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=307505&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=558&EMAIL_ID=
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rawat:
Okay, I'm a bit more convinced, but I'd love to see some official / visual confirmation. As they say, seeing is believing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] trancelated:
1. The search button is common for any basic phone which is missing in Galaxy S. Dont you think it would have been a good strategy for Samsung to promote dual functionality of menu in order to appease asthetics?

2. The tv out via 3.5mm was never advertised in UK not online, not in papers not on tv.

3. Mobile tracker is a software which Samsung always promotes with other phones. But Samsung didnt promote the feature which was preinstalled in Galaxy S.

4. remocon is also a "software" where you can control Samsung TVs via your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] komoornik:
MicroUSB to HDMI would be nice.

But don't you think it's weird ? I mean TV-out by two different connectors ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] SquidgyB:
Not at all - I like to call it "fully featured"
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Pika007:
After taking the i9000 and Vibrant to bits, i know for a fact these 2 devices are using exactly the same parts to the chip and resistor level, except for the radio.

If the Vibrant has it, the i9000 has it. (and vice versa)

Didn't take apart the Captivate yet, but i bet it's also identical.

I'd take the plunge and buy the cable to report to everyone, but it's not available in my country.

Anyone felling like taking one for the team?

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rawat:
I sent a direct message on twatter to @samsungesteban (sp?), and he said that he'll find out if it's supported.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] brunes:
It seems the pinout for the Galaxy TAB dock shows the HDMI video is indeed only using 5 pins. However, the dock is then using a Sil 9290 chip inside to create the HDMI signal.

So if there is hope then any cable for the SGS would have to have one of these chips inside it. I wonder if anyone who got one of these cables can confirm if it has a chip in it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] vinclar:
This is supposed to be the cable no? World series is i9000? Is the driver compilated?

Too expensive for me to be a guinea pig.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dunk7:
I had purchased the cable and surprise surprise, it didn't work on my i9000m on 2.1. I upgraded to 2.2 but before I could check to see if the cable would work now, my phone (surprise, surprise) bricked. Once I get the new one sent to me, I will post again. As a temp phone, I did get my hands on a Nokia N8 and I have to say that I am a big fan of having an HDMI out on my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] vinclar:
Where did you bought it? How much? Can you send us a photo?

Have you bricked it or semibricked, if you semibricked the phone you can try this if you dont have the combo enabled or a JIG.

[YOUTUBE]D7e3JzUr5JU[/YOUTUBE]

Edit: I changed my mind, I'm throwing in the towel, I'm no more interested in any samsung official accessories, I would like to buy three (home dock, car dock and micro-usb to hdmi +-150€ I was deserving to waste) I will save this money and wait for next dual core phone with hdmi and real available official accessories and support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dunk7:
Mines semi bricked but has the internal SD card formatting issue. Bell in Canada is just getting Samsung to send replacement units to everyone, no questions asked.

Looks interesting

***.engadget.com/2011/01/25/samsung-galaxy-s-hoppin-hops-to-south-korea-includes-tv-dock-fo/

South Korean carrier SK Telecom is billing its new Galaxy S Hoppin from Samsung as a "smartphone that can also serve as a set-top box," but in reality, it's basically an Android phone just like any other in Sammy's stable with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display -- the big difference is that it comes bundled with a dock that cables up to your home television and lets you watch streaming video off of the company's new Hoppin entertainment service either on the road or in the comfort of your La-Z-Boy. Movies will run anywhere from 1,000 to 3,500 won -- 89 cents to $3.12 -- which isn't bad, all things considered. The remainder of the phone's specs are standard fare at this point: 1GHz Hummingbird processor, Android 2.2, a 5 megapixel cam, WiFi, and Bluetooth 3.0 round out the package. Look for it to launch this week.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dunk7:
Received my Galaxy S back from Samsung...its running 2.2 UGJL2. Tried it with the cable and no signal whatsoever (my TV detected an HDMI signal in 2.1). What I didn't have with me was the power adapter so I didn't try to plug a power source into the adapter but I guessing that won't work either. I'll keep you updated.

A lot of conflicting rumours but have you guys heard if the Galaxy S2 will have an HDMI port?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Merlin_reloaded:
Can you try and carefully pry off the HDMI jack cover on the cable and look inside the black casing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nonyhaha:
or could you please try with the power adapter connected?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
The mystery continues...

http://www.vodafone.com.au/personal/android/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s/index.htm

Under "Shoot video like a pro",

"The Galaxy S can also display your video from USB to HDMI using the appropriate cable."

Everything that has happened only makes me more inclined to believe that samsung pulled this cable from production.

Also, will we ever get anyone to do detailed testing of the cable? Making sure that power is on and Tv-out is enabled, maybe even going so far as to dissect the cable for more information!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] TheBeano:
We already determined from the circuit diagram that there are no video signals going to the USB port, only USB, serial and audio, see this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Torino10:
I got One of the cables and was disappointed that it didn't work. I have taken the case off of the plug and taken pictures, unfortunately they are pretty fuzzy, my only camera is my Captivate running the cognition rom and I can't seem to get close enough to get a clear Picture.
