[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antekaudi:
First of all Hello everyone.

So today i decided to root my Mytouch Slide.

- I have used the method on theunlockr.com

- Successfully rooted my phone and had super user app in menu.

- I decided to put Slide MR1 custom rom, so i went to clockworks and installed the rom.

- After rom was installed phone would boot loop, so i read that eng-build is needed to get this working ( Not sure if i am right )

- So i followed this guide: ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703076

- Anyways i got to this point: "/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/mtd0.img" and now i get error message saying "error writing misc: Permission denied"

Is there anyway i can make my phone functional again, preferably with custom rom ?

Thanks for help.

Have you tried doing it as su in terminal emulator on the phone?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antekaudi:
Ok i managed to unbrick my phone using ESPRIMG rom.

Is there any custom rom that doesnt require eng-build to be preinstalled ?

I tried Wes rom but it got stuck on boot loop also.

Thank you

Maybe if you posted in the right section you'd get an answer. Don't be afraid to reread the directions and try again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armyjon88:
To perform the function it requires that you first call

Su (superuser permissions)

And then

Chmod 04755 *

Edit: btw the method on unlockr is eugenes first method with loop excluded for whatever reason using an update.zip with su and superuser.apk included which euegene also posted so I don't see why your having trouble with xda devs methods.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
you didnt unbrick it cus it wasnt bricked. if it was, you wouldnt have been able to unbrick it...plus the slide is almost impossible to brick, because it has a locked bootloader

none of them require the eng build, but if you dont flash the eng build you will have to redo the entire root process EVERY time you flash anything...

oh, almost forgot:

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEVELOPMENT! QUESTIONS GO IN Q&A! WRONG SECTION!!! USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antekaudi:
I am sorry for bad terminology.

Please move the topic if possible, i am sorry i made it in wrong place i was in rush.

Why does every rom i install boot loops then, maybe i am missing something.

Thank you

EDIT:

So after installing ESPRIMG i decided i will try to put custom rom on my phone again.

I went to recovery mode and surprisingly clockwork worked without connecting it to my pc and doing "adb" stuff.

-Does that mean eng-build went through, or my phone is rooted ?

From clockworks i installed slidemeroot 5r1 and it works !

Now my question is am i all set or do i need to install radio update etc ?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisinaz:
Your radio has been downgraded. ChiefzReloaded made a new thread on here today with an updated radio. You can flash that update.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antekaudi:
What does the downgraded radio affect, and how to check which version i have ?

Thanks guys you are really helpful.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
Since you just rooted and are asking questions about the radio kinda tells me you probably dont have the latest radio. Just go to the link by CR and download it. Put it on your sd card and flash it through clockwork recovery. Its that easy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisinaz:
To answer your question though, the downgraded radio will yield shorter battery life and less signal strength. It's a considerable difference between the different radios. More because of signal strength than anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt tallant:
I had problems with boot loops and it endeed up being remnants of a ext4 partition on my sdcard (from when it was in my G1). Have you had your card partitioned before?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilcello:
Hi there

last week I got a new Samsung Galaxy S GT I-9000, and although I am generally happy with it, I am very disappointed with the ADC recording quality.

As others, I noticed it after asking a friend to film me playing at a gig, and the audio was completely unuseable.

After digging around and some experiments I found so far 2 serious issues:

1 - As others pointed out, the microphone input level seems to be unadjustable. I have digged around in the hidden menus, where I could find a way to adjust the input level for speech calls but not for audio recording.

(Audio -> Handset ->I2S1 Rx Gain, although I am not sure if the signal clips before or after that point when doing audio recording ).

2 - This is an issue I have not seen documented anywhere: no matter what application I use, I am not able to record at any higher sampling rate than 22.050kHz. This is with both handset and headset microphone. But what is probably worse, is that the signal is not (or not very well) low pass filtered (antialised) before being downsampled!! I tried recording a frequency sweep from 0 to 16kHz, and the first 8kHz (11025 Hz inn 22050 Hz sampling rate mode) were Ok, the next 8kHz (11025Hz) where aliased like hell. Try record a 10 khz and a 12 kHz tone at 11khz adc rate and you will get a 10khz back in both cases, almost at the same amplitude :eek:! Not sure why I can't acces 48kHz, as I read somewhere that the audio chipset should support that.

Anyone know if there is a fix for either?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilcello:
Just uploaded the recorded sample for reference.

This was a 100Hz to 16kHz frequency sweep of 30 seconds.

The test setting was far from ideal (just played it out on my PC) but it gives an indication. Note that aliasing is so bad that even harmonic distortion gets aliased, and it becomes really loud when all harmonics get imaged back to the same frequency by the aliasing process. If the situation is not fixed, there is no hope for high quality audio for the galaxy... Anyone knows if with 2.2 upgrade this will work?

Do HTC desire or wildfire have similar issues? I am seriously considering swapping before my 14 days trial runs out: no point in having HD video (main selling point of the phone) if the audio is close to unuseable (and I don't want to go to Apple just yet)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meza1:
The voice quality on my Galaxy S is really bad. I've had several people say to me that on calls it's difficult to understand what I'm saying and that the sound is either muffled or distorted.

I tried some recordings with the voice recorder app and these two don't sound clear at all.

Could this be caused by the same thing you're mentioning, or do I have a problem with my phone?

How do other people find the call quality (that is, someone listening to you calling *from* your Galaxy.)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilcello:
I think this is related to the same bugs mentioned as the subject of this thread.

BTW, it looks like HTC desire has the same issue wrt video recording, so it might be an Android issue rather than a Samsung one...

You can find some additional details in the modaco forum, on thread samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-mic-sensitivity-recording.

Same problem gggrrr

I recorded a friend of mine singing last night and the audio on the video is terrible and i mean really terrible, the picture is fine but the audio, nope.

I have heard that there is a way to load in a new kernal to be able to change the sensitivity of the mic but i'm not sure if that is the way to go or not, i just want to be able to record video that sounds good, please help.

I've used voodoo sound ever since I go this phone. You don't even have to flash a kernel anymore, supercurio's made it even easier, as long as you have root just go onto the market and buy Voodoo Control Plus and unlock the true audio capabilities of your Galaxy S :)

I started out with JPY and using Tape Machine I've been able to record just fine at 44100Hz. Same with JVB.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jamb:
well i m posting it at the behalf of my friend...well few days ago i was fedup wid winmo and want to get rid of it asap...so i sell my previous mobile touch pro 2 to my friend and got the milestone while selling my fone to it the screen was clean like new and i was using screen protector with it..after some days my friend called me saying that the mobile got scratches on the screen , i asked him about the protector he said that for some reason touch was not working so he pulled of the protector and touch was working and he start using at normal without using the protector he thought that its screen is like the iphone so if the scratches come screen it won't be that much visible but after few days that screen got more scratches and then he tried new protector it fits the screen without creating the bubbles but again touch screen stops working .. he pulled the protector and its working again....now he wants a conclusion of it

1st is that why touch screen stops working when applying the protector

2nd any way to clean the screen without changing the digitizer because i cant get new 1 in my country and if i order it online i can get new tp2 in my country at the price of just the digitizer

me and my friend searched alot and came to know about desplex and idropper and also came to know that it damages the tocuh

Please Help

Thanks

I had heard using 'Brasso' works well to get rid of scratches and am going to try it myself soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jamb:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
no, that has really confounded me. One thing I would do is to try a different brand. I cannot think how a protector can create a seemingly hardware problem.

[EVO 4G Accessories] docprego:
I had a spare anti fingerprint (AF) lying around from my Touch Pro 2 days and this comparison is based on that. To be perfectly clear this comparison is a Steinheil ultra crystal (UC) for the EVO 4G vs a Steinheil AF for the Sprint Touch Pro 2. I am assuming that the material in the AF I am using has not changed in the AF for the EVO 4G. But as always ymmv since I do not have an EVO 4G AF to test. Since my EVO already has a UC installed on it I placed the AF on top of the UC over the lower 1/2 of my screen. Each photo shows you my phone sitting in landscape mode on the stand, the left half is UC, the right half is AF.

I vastly prefer the UC but the lack of fingerprints on the AF is very appealing, Let me know what you think.

Hello! Nobody working to map the Home or Power On button to take pictures? Regards..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Yeah, was looking for this as well... Looked into tasker but that doesn't seem to be appropriate for it (was thinking something 'in camera app, if btn pressed, do this)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rkantos:
power button for taking pictures would be awesome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MacaronyMax:
wouldn't that mean you cant turn off your phone or on because if theres a dedicated camera key theres no power button :D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
i´d say the camera app should be modded to use the power key, so only when camera is open this is true.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alain57:
well on JM2 the powe button does something when you use the camera ... it lock every function

that's weird because you can't do anything ... no taking pictures, no killing the app, only unlock it by pressing the power button again

I agree this i cool in the video player

but in the camera ?!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Piny12:
Selftimer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Schmich:
Not a self-timer afaik. Even a lock icon comes up. I have used it a few times. Basically when you wait to take a picture you can have the picture app open and then have it in the pocket ready to be taken out, so you don't have to worry about a) opening the app quickly when you want to take the pic, b) having the app open and taking pictures/returning to home when you don't want to. Not a "must-have" feature by any means and it probably uses a lot more battery than just opening the app when you want to.

Changing it to take pictures would be most welcomed. Tapping on the screen is quite a delicate thing when you don't want to move the phone at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Piny12:
I meant that it could get practical if you put the camera on selftimer and lock the screen so you don't mistakenly press any button.

Why we don't make a donation for that? I will put 10€ for the cause :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alain57:
nope, lock like i said

ok, but i found this still stupid

it empty the battery for nothing, and people who don't take much attention won't see the lock icon so they will think : **** it bugged ....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
I was looking at this, as I want some way to take pics quickly. Home and Power button don't seem easily do-able, but does anybody want the following?

Quick launching app that you can put on your homescreen, that launches a camera preview. Tapping on the screen takes a pic and saves it to /sdcard/$date.jpg

Not quite a dedicated camera button, but should be very fast for taking a quick picture. If a couple people want it, I'll throw it together quickly. (Might just throw it together for myself quickly anyway ;) )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] blackstoneuser5:
I find the lock function to be useful when taking long videos as I've accidental knocked the stop button on occasion by accident.

On a second note, if a physical shutter button was sought-after wouldn't the volume buttons be more effective as the power button is fairly near the top and you'll probably end up covering the lens versus using the volume buttons on the bottom (this is presuming you're taking pictures in landscape, right?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DiukPL:
Hi all. Here's the thing. Yesterday i've charge my galaxy (up to about 90%) set up alarm for morning, and going to sleep. In morning my battery was empty, i don't have idea why, because i push power button to "sand-by" on my phone in that night. What's the deal? Stand-up time was about 7h - is there any fix for that, or maybe it's some kind of bug? Oh that was my first stand-by mode for so long time (phone is pretty brand new, about 3 days from purchase)

Few words about phone:

-i9000XXJF5

-no root, flash, and any modyfication

-in phone i have about 20 instaled apps, 4 widgets on

-no task killer

-about 3 days from purchase phone

-home screen set on LauncherPro

Any advise guys?

There must be some app draining your battery. My SGS usually drops only 4% in battery percentage during the night (I turn of 3g at night using SwitchPro, and I'm on JM2).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] igniztion:
Have you installed the latest Facebook for Android app? It drains battery a lot because it keeps the phone awake 100% of the time. Uninstall it, or at least Log out from within the app, so that your phone can sleep in idle mode.

The rest of her texts work just fine, and I'm learning today that about half of my texts from other people are apparently not arriving to me as well.

This is obviously *really* bad... it led to her thinking I was blowing her off all day sunday and took a lot of explaining to do on my behalf today, heh.
