[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenkinz:
it's hard to brick the phone.

I tried repartition the storage, while flash an small flash file, so in theory, a "clean" partition of storage w/o any kernel and what not, and I could still flash the f/w.

that said, when it happens to me (when it's an empty partition), the phone will appear not to be boot up, and then you may find yourself not being able to go into download mode. chances are, the phone might appear to be power off, but its probably in a panic mode at the previous boot up, so there's no way you can change to download mode.

just take out the battery, leave it for 30s-1min, and then put battery back and then do the volumne down + home button + power button to bring the phone into the download mode.

Just flashed to JM2 today (had issues with JP2), I have the mimocan fix applied using ext4 at about 1 gig, the rest of the 8gb micro sd is fat 32, when the card is in the phone, all the data on the card shows up no problem but when I connect the phone to my PC via usb and mount to tranfer files the external sd doesn't show up. The internal does but not external, tried clicking the actual removable disk on my computer and it says to insert a card, any help is appreciated with this, cheers lads.

Edit: Solved, paragon wasn't formatting fat32 partition properly, formatted using windows and all is well.

I've had this problem with prev updates and I find that if you reformat the TF card inside SD settings (on phone) it works again. Don't forget to unmount the card first :)

I have been trying to get this firewall program for android to work for a while now.

its called Droidwall and is found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=541380

It wasn't working in Froyo so I "regressed" to VaniljEclair with the new Tether fixes.

However, even in eclair it was still having issues selecting individual applications to block(blacklist) or allow(whitelist)

turns out the newer kernels are missing a module for iptables called "Owner"

so all I did was add the module back in to the zImage and now Droidwall works

on my Kaiser.

I haven't switched back to froyo yet so I can only confirm that this works for eclair.

it should work for Vogue and Polaris as well but I need confirmation on that.

here is my zImage made from dzo's repo.

if you need an nbh you can load it into my NBHCreator program.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niccspon:
Hi!

Yesterday when my battery was at 88%, I wiped the batt stats from Amon Ra.

When I switched on my phone, my hero told me that the battery was full (100%).

I want to know something more about Recalibration of the battery by wiping battery stats. Searching on the Internet somebody tells that is important to wipe batt stats when the battery is empty, and then charge it.

Other people reccomend to wipe battery stats when the battery is full.

What do you suggest?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
The way I've learned to recalibrate the battery is to let it go down to 5%, boot phone into recovery and wipe batterystats, then power off the phone. Let the phone charge until the green led is on without turning it on. Then turn on and use the phone as usual. Learned it over at modaco. Worked as a charm, and batterytime was improved. I have personally experienced strange batterybehaviour after periods with flashing a lot of roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niccspon:
Yep, every time I flash a ROM it's suggested to do a full wipe, battery stats also, and i think that with a lot of flashing, the battery behavour become strange.

I tried that "trick" today on my phone, I will tell you how is battery life.

Thank you!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Ooops, I forgot to reply back but it's been covered in different threads in the Hero section and for other Android phones... it does work.

As others have said, after flashing different ROMs the battery starts to mis-report but this trick seems to sort it out ;)
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
Hi,

I know the phone is capable of doing both, and there are software/apps to do each function seperatly. But is there an app that does both for android phones?

I know Froyo has this capability built in... and will mostly likely be removed by samsung/tmobile. But here's hoping!

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] MonkySlap:
well you can do WiFi using either Wireless Tether or Barnacal. You can get Barnacal on the market. As for USB, thats prob not going to happen till we get some custom roms. For that you would need to alter the Kernal and firmware to acheive this.

[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
Dang, both Barnacle and Wifi tether are giving me fits today. I know both of these are in active development, with new releases every other day it seems.

I am using the latest Barnacle available in the market, Version 24 as reported by the "Manage Applications" under settings. I don't see an "About" screen in the application, so I don't know what the *real* version is.

As for Wireless Tether, I am using version 23 as reported my the "manage applications" under settings, or 2.0.5-pre6 as reported by the About screen.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
This method of tethering on Windows 7 works flawlessly. I've had issues using the Kies method and this fires up right away. It seems to be a little slower than the old wired tether app for my G1, but that could also be because I was tethering on the train in crappy weather. Barnacle works awesome on Windows if you follow these directions:

Baranacle Wifi Settings:

1. Change SSID - [User Preference]

2. Change Channel - 6

3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE

4. Skip wpa_supplicant - CHECK

5. Restart Phone As Desired

Settings For Windows:

Open cmd.exe as administrator

C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1250 store=persistent

This is assuming your wireless network adapter is called "Wireless Network Connection"
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
Yeah, I have done all that and I am getting lots of errors:

NAT Restart: Network is down

And then a bunch of these:

Getting netmask of eth0 failed: cannot assign requested address

Followed by a couple instances of

NAT Restarting Now

NAT waiting for local interface

And yes, I have positively confirmed that I set the MTU on my computer.

And the Wireless Tether program now just run and then hangs. No FC, no nothing. When you press the big green icon to start the tether, you get the little animated spinner which freezes after a couple of seconds.

I'm trying to install Kies now.
[Vibrant General] johnnycs:
I don't recommend installing Kies if you just want to USB tether. It's over 280 mb and the program itself kept crashing on me.

Just install the official drivers from Samsung's website then create a DUN connection based on the instructions in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737744.

Also, the official drivers on Samsung's download section are not up to date. The latest drivers are in the Kies install. I've zipped them up for x86 Windows users and put them online. You can download the zip and extract the files to your \Windows\System32\Drivers folder.

for USB tether, I use PdaNet, it is super simple, no configuration needed on the phone or the computer... it works super fast and I've had no issues, just download the PdsNet desktop client and install on your PC and the PdaNet from the android market and done... you will be up and running in 5 minutes or less

1. Drop the zip file to the root dir of your sd card

5. When it's done it'll tell you "install from sd card complete"

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
I bought my EVO on launch day, hardware rev 002... I have had NO ISSUES with this phone other then the corrupted SD card which was fixed with a patch.

I've been fully rooted since the root came out. Few weeks back I upgraded from Fresh Rom 0.3 to .5.3 or whatever version it was and the next day I lost sound from my speaker.

No audio for videos, ringers, app sounds, nothing. I also noticed that when the phone booted it no longer said FRESH!!!!! as it loaded.

Someone suggested that my ROM may have been corrupted at download, hence a bad flash. I downloaded it again, checked the hash this time and re-flashed and this IMMEDIATELY fixed the issue. No problems since then. Previous to re-flashing, I tried rebooting repeatedly but this did not help, only the re-flash did.

Fast forward in time, I'm now I'm on Fresh ROM 1.0.1 and everything's been good since it came out until last night, I lost sound again. I decided not to mess with it last night, I was tired and I went to bed. I woke up today, still no sound. I rebooted, no FRESH!!!! as it was booting. I got pissed and ***** slapped my phone as it was rebooting. When it got to the home screen, I had sound. As of typing this, I still have sound.

So... Umm... Which one fixed it? The rebooting or slapping my phone? I'm now wondering if I have a loose connection to the speaker and reinstalling the first time wasn't just odd timing. Maybe handling the phone during the format and reinstall of 0.5.3 just shook something back into place and it wasn't really the reinstall at all? That said I rebooted a half dozen times before reinstalling 0.5.3 with no affect, I handled the heck out of the phone with no affect, formatting it instantly fixed it so I just assumed it was a bad flash.

Looking for opinions and suggestions. I'm over my 30 days to return obviously so I'd probably have to warranty threw HTC or claim insurance via Sprint. If the speaker is in fact crapping out, I would assume its covered under the 1 year warranty but HTC has like 2 to 6 week turn around right now which won't work. I NEED my phone so I might get stuck swapping it out threw Sprint and paying the $100 dollars. :(

^^^ What he said. And, you shouldn't have to pay the $100 dollar deductible if it is a defective speaker. The only way that you would have to pay is if it could be determined that it were due to abuse on your part.

FWIW I am having major issues with my earpiece speaker. I can hardly carry on a conversation because it buzzes and rattles at any volume. Sounds like the speaker is blown. I took it to the Sprint store today and they ordered me a no charge insurance replacement.

[Captivate General] Qmotion:
I've been doing a lot of reading over the last couple days so that I could install third party apps on my Captivate. At this point I have my phone rooted finally. The next step was for me to choose the SDK or the Root Explorer way to bypass the AT&T block.

I decided to contact Samsung via internet chat. I was informed by the customer service rep that all that I'm attempting to do can be done through the Samsung Kies Application. The install program can be found here:

There are provisions to install any program through the software. I was told just to place what ever program I wanted to install on my desktop and direct the Kies software there to install into my phone.

The program looks neat. Now I'm wondering if this is so simple why does everyone go through all the trouble to root the phones?

Apparently I'm not allowed to post an outside web link. I need a moderator to remove my restriction. If the restriction is removed I'll re-post the Samsung link.
