Hi there,

I am writing to look for kind help from you guys on the i601 which was wrongly updated with a i608 ROM and was caused to possess no phone function at all, though it can be powered on to the home screen with some basic functions like file exploring. Now it has no phone function, and lots of other functions like power signal, user configuration menu, and etc. are not working either. The worst is it doesn't respond when I connect it with my PC via ActiveSync (seems the USB port is not funcitoning as well).

I'm not sure what kind of information should be given to let you guys better understand the symptoms but here is a few of information that might be a little bit insightful:

By keying in *#1546792*#:

Windows Mobile 6 Standard

CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

Radio Version 0

RIL Version 2.002

... ...

By entering into Setting mode:

PDA Version

i608ZTGI2

Phone Version

(it is left blank )

Eboot Version

i608ZTGI2

I would love to see if you can shred me a light if and how I can fix it. All kind of help is highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Did You try flash with wce downloader? Your phone is recognized by Windows in BootLoader mode? correct? then flash with i601 rom

PS: sorry i don't use english - is not my default language... but i try :P
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Hi Thorn_pl,

I am always grateful and thankful to see a reply from someone who are trying to help others. Thanks a lot in advance for your kind advice.

To be exact, now the phone cannot be recognized by ActiveSync after plugging in through the USB port. I check through the files inside the phone and found that many sub-folders under Windows are empty, such as:

/My Device/ConnMgr

/My Device/Documents and Settings/default

/My Device/Documents and Settings/Samsung

/My Device/Program Files/Connections

/My Device/Windows/Activesync/ (only one file named CtrlLog)

/My Device/Windows/Systems/ (only some empty folders like CertDtls, ConfigMgr, DumpFiles, SQM, CabQueue)

Can someone be kind enough to teach me how to at least make it connectable with ActiveSync so that I can try flashing again a ROM to this phone?

Also if it can be done, I need to locate where i601 ROM would be available.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] thorn_pl:

Hi Thorn_pl,

Sorry for bothering you again, would you tell me what you mean by wce downloader? Is it a program that I can use in my case? Where can I find this program?

What is BootLoader mode?

Where can I download official i601 ROM? I tried to search on web but couldn't find any info about this strange version - i601.

Thanks again.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Happy birthday to you!!! Have fun and a good time!!! :D:D:D
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
i believe the i601 is the same as the i607... try flashing a custom i607 rom.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Hi dermann,

Thankyou for the reply.

The first headache to me is now my PC doesn't recognize the phone through the USB port. I have been looking around on the web and found some Samsung USB Driver files and had them installed in my PC. But it doesn't help at all, my phone cannot be recognized correctly (a few times it was recognized as Unknown Device). So when I power on my phone on BL mode and link it with WCEDownloader trying to flash, the START button is disabled.

I don't know if there can be solutions to make my PC recognize the phone again and am really frustrated at the moment. The only good thing is now I basically know how to flash a Samsung mobile phone and have collected bunches of ROMs and software.

See if someone know how to troubleshoot it.

Anyway, thanks a lot.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
ok I have an idea... but I'm at work at the moment. when I get home I'll see if my idea does anything. I'll let you know.

edit!!! was just thinking. what os is your computer running? xp, vista, w7...

if your phone comes up as unknown device, that's better than nothing. here's what i'm going to do... i'll up load the usb drivers from my 607, and we'll see if that changes anything.

edit#2!!! ok here they are, along with the usb registry. put .dll's in windows folder on phone and import the .reg using a registry editor. soft reset after you do all that. let me know how things go.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Hi dermann,

Thanks for the valuable advice.

My PC is running on XP.

Last night i just uninstalled all the SAMSUNG USB Drivers I installed with the following driver pack I could located on earth:

Samsung CDMA Driver

Samsung Composite Drivers

Samsung USB Driver MCCI 4.34 WHQL

Samsung CDMA Modom 4.34

etc. etc.

Typically a shoot in the dark. Haha...

Now I will try to re-install them one by one to find out actually which one would be that particular driver that did at least recognize an "unknown device" (if I have luck... haha...) and make it a likely viable connection first.

There is another symptom that I didn't mention before, and it is that the phone cannot read the Micro SD card, not sure if it is me that I don't know how to explore the content on the card or it is the phone that it card-reading function is disabled as well (It is always strange when I explore the content in different folders and find out many system folders are empty... as I said before).

Let me spend some time on "wrestling" with the USB connection symptom first and the next is to see if I can make something out with your attached file.

Wish me luck.

Millions thanks again to you dermann. Will keep you posted of my status until I officially announce it a brick. Haha...

Have a nice day!
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Hi Dermann,

Yet I cannot find the right USB Driver to install on my PC running XP, though the phone can read the MicroSD card now. Unfortunately after I copied all your files in the card (putting into a sub-folder), the phone can show only one file named USB, all the dll's files are now shown. And therefore I cannot really copy them into the Windows folder as you recommended. Do you know what would be the cause to this situation and how I can tackle this issue.

Anyway, it is a step closer. Thanks again and look for your generous advice.

Have a nice day.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
ok, if you can install programs. try installing another file explorer like Resco Explorer, or one like it. if you use the the original explorer than the files will be hidden.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
OK!

I will find this program and try installing into my phone right after I get back home tonight. Got to go. Time to relieve myself from this headache... Haha...

Thanks again for your prompt reply. And will get back to you tomorrow and hopefully you still have patience to help someone who is not very smart and savvy with technical stuffs like me. :D:D

Have a nice day. :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Hi dermann,

I copied the unzipped folder to the root directory of my MicroSD card, run the "Explorer" and now it can display the content inside folders. However, the strange thing is:

I copied the unzipped files you gave me yesterday into the MicroSD card, when I use the new explorer to browse the files, still only the one named "USB" is shown and all the dlls files are hidden. I can see them only when I use the "Find" Command in the menu of Explorer (find *.*). By doing so they can be visible together with that USB file in the same folder. Unfortunately in the "Find" Menu I cannot find any command such as COPY or CUT so that I can copy them into the /Windows as you instructed.

So now I am kind of stuck at how to copy these files into the folder of \Windows.

Would love to get some kind advice from you.

Thanks a lot.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] dermann:
ok, sorry for the late response. just getting off a 14 hour work day. :eek: ok the file explorer... head to menu\options\general\browser, and uncheck everything. then head to the folder you have the files in and click action left soft key, and their is the copy, move, ect.. to move everything over at once click your star key "*" and check mark all the files, then copy or move them. you'll want to overwrite the files that are already their.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Dear Dermann,

Thanks for your generous advice.

The EXPLORER works exactly the way you told me. Now I've succeeded into copying all the files (named USB and the other 5 dlls files) into my phone's /WINDOWS folder.

But I cannot quite understand the next step you wrote "... and import the .reg using a registry editor..." How can it be done or it has been done already by copying all the files into /WINDOWS folder?

Maybe you can advise the next step when you are free. Sorry to have bothered you with this. You needn't give me reply when you are busy with your work or enjoy your leisure time. Just write me when you are really free and don't have better things to do, I can wait very patiently.

Thanks again and you have a nice weekend.

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] wthayd:
Thanks so much for your kindness.

Actually after my post Dermann was kind enough to help me by sending me a CAB file that would let me "import" the registry into the system of my phone. I guess it did import the registry successfully. Unfortunately, after copying all the dll files and importing that particular registry, it didn't change the overall picture - my phone still cannot be recognized when connecting via the USB port, just "Unknown Device" is shown.

It is still a deadlock to me.

Anyway, thanks for the offer and I appreciate it very much.

Thanks.

Why take all the pain bro.

Just install mobo player (free) from market.

In the settings, just select default soft decoding.

Drag and drop any files you want (read it as literally any video formats except very old ones like .vob and stuff).

Just play it.

And the quality is awesome ! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haldi4803:
there's no way to convert videos direclty ON the phone ? i guess CPU power is to low... or maybe over Multimedia processor which encodes the Video recording ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
Simple:

Freemake Video Converter

- very user friendly interface

- supports a wide range of input formats

- hassle-free

- can burn in subs but not as good as HandBrake does; styled subs are messed up

Advanced:

HandBrake

- supports burning in embedded SSA subs in mkv files

- supports a wide range of input formats

- truckload of options for x264

- fully multithreaded (you got 8 cores? it'll use it)

Which one do I use? Both.

If I want to encode a certain part (trim) of a video, I use Freemake.

If I want to encode my anime (and burn in the subtitles), I use HandBrake.

They are both well-written. Plus, you can even put 1920x87 as the resolution.

The X10 can decode both H.264 and MPEG4. If you experience stuttering and lag while playing, tell me and I'll upload a possible fix. Z's audio lag fix and custom ROMs are the cause.

Hope this helps.

Example: did a nandroid backup about 45 minutes ago (1:30ish am central) and when I mount as a disk drive and look at the file, it says it was last modified at 5:30 AM central which is a few hours from now. I usually transfer nandroids from the phone to the PC for safekeeping but this issue has caused me an issue with not being sure which nandroid is at a particular point in time, which is important.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaIV:
Just remember that they are 4 hours ahead...problem solved.

Timestamps shouldn't matter...if you make a backup before you make changes, then you are obviously concerned about the changes you are making and want to have something to roll back to. If you always pick the most recent backup, you are always going back to whatever you had before you changed it...get it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
As far as I know, the timestamps are set to GMT -01:00 rather than your local time. Why? I have no friggin' clue, but that's just how it is. Maybe it's because the creator of Nandroid lives in the GMT -01:00 time-zone?

Point is, that's just how it is, so we all have to live with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabbieBot:
not so simple. went ahead and did another one and it jumped ahead 6 hours, confirming what I thought that there was no firm way to know.

The reason this is an issue is because I made backups when 1) i used the starting over method, 2) flashed a new rom, 3) flashed a new kernel, etc etc. Its made it hard to keep track of.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techrocket9:
I just flashed CM6 RC1 on my EVO, and I am stunned by the difference. My battery lasts forever and the phone is always responsive. I was wondering how such a dramatic improvement is possible. I already used overclock widget to throttle down the CPU when the screen was off. I just don't know where such massive improvement could come from. Is it really that HTC's & Sprint's programmers managed to wreak Android that badly? I mean, the difference here is greater than when I left the dark cave that is the iPhone OS for the stock EVO. What did Cyanogen do to cause such awesomeness? I find it difficult to believe that he is only curing incompetence.

P.S. Where is the close keyboard button on swype? Thanks!

Yes, they did screw it up that badly. Think of it as adding a crap-ton of themes, windows, programs, and other bloat to a computer, or just how a retail computer acts when you first buy it; sure, Windows 7 64-bit is fast as hell, but with Norton, trial-games, trial this, trial that, links, spyware, bloatware, ads, OEM-branding, etc., it becomes slow as hell.

also cyanogenmod was created by developers with awesomeness in mind. compiled from scratch to do everything we want it to. lots of developers are involved in cm. those developers as a unit have created over the last year or so a collection of all the goodies u could ever want in a phone. this development grows daily and thats why we have nightly builds. if u look at the change logs on a daily basis ull actually see all the changes made daily to make extra features work, add features, build on existing api's, and device support. this is on going in cm and what makes it so great. if HTC gave half the support for there devices these guys do htc,s builds could be awesome to. but they dont and they take more of a build and forget approach. only giving updates to support flaws that are only short comings of there development habits.

Hey there,

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Using Emonthers 2.10.1

Im getting AWFUL battery life. Typically in previous roms id get a 5% per hour drop on idle.

Usually by late afternoon say 4-6 hours of usage id be in the 65 or 70 range.

During that same time frame Im now at 30-40. Within an hour or so of taking it off charger im at 80%.

NOW.

I noticed numerous instances specifically when I open Astro or Advanced Task Killer there bottom portion has a loading circle which never stops.

Numerous folks at NewEgg have complained about the sd card crapping out on them so now Im worried it may be happening to me.

And yes..I will try another rom just deciding which. Need to know if this is a tell tale sign of a dying sd card.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The bottom portion in these apps is for ads. If they don't load - means you probably have no network access.

My idle drop with this ROM (and most of ROMs I've ever tried) is between 1% and 1.5% an hour, with data or WiFi connected. You should check, what eats you so much battery, in battery settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Hmm.. I think you are right about the ads. My titanium backup installed Adblocker I didnt realize it till you mentioned it. Thank you .

My only changed from last rom were Mixzing and data counter widget. I will look into those individually for any possible battery abuse.

Oh and I ran a SD card diagnostic. Free app only could do "reads" but it came out aok.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Klonka:
One reason that we all are having pretty different battery time (it seems so) maybe could be the reception. I talked with Samsung support a while ago and they said that it drains more battery if the telephone constantly are seeking for reception. I myself have noticed that my bars are jumping up and down most of the time. And my battery lasts for about 24 hours (not using the phone extremely much). This is was the supportguy said:

"It could be the simcard that constantly are seeking for better reception, then it will drain extra battery and this can't be affected by a setting in the phone or so."

What do you think about this? The question is what to do about it...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
I think that it's not new and it's true for all the phone ...

If the reception is bad the phone will increse the power of the antenna to get a signal and will drain the battery

Nothing to do in order to avoid this ...

If you have the problem with an other phone and the same simcard , the guy of Samsung is partially right ( I find it is an easy way to explain the relatively poor battery)

Now if the problem is that the 3G network is weak and the 2G good ... you can switch off the 3G so it won't go from 3G to 2G ... which could also drain the battery I guess
