I'm looking to buy an HD2 or some other used handset to run and Android build on for now and potentially a build of Win7, when it becomes available. I know the HD2 has the hardware I'm looking for, and based on these posts, it looks likes its running froyo pretty well. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if this handset would be at the sweet spot between most compatible hardware to run the most current builds of Android and best price point for a used handset? i hope that question makes sense to somebody besides me :)

Hi devs, I got a (hopefully) simple request for you guys. I'm attempting to do a bit of weightloss right now, and have a whole homescreen dedicated to it (like 3 apps, lol)

What I would really love to see is a widget (like 3x4) that shows me a line graph that has current weight as the y axis, and day as the x axis. Would be great to sync it to a calander, so every month, it auto-resets the widget to a new set of 30/31 days.

Finally, when you click on the widget, maybe be able to see your total progress since you started, and a field to input that days results?

I hope none of that is too hard. I am no programmer, so while I don't think it looks to difficult, I have no clue.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
So, after trying out a few firmwares (JM2, JG8, JM5) and kernels (Samset&OC) I can't no longer boot to recovery with Vol UP + Home + power. I can't really say when this problem first occurred, but maybe with JG8 flash. The strange thing is that I can get to recovery with adb reboot recovery and through android console with reboot recovery (when rooted ofc). Also download mode works great.

Things I have tried:

-flash again to JM2 and JM5 with re-partition checked (512 PIT)

-cleared cache+data through recovery

-factory reset through phone code (this also cleared the internal SD)

-took out the battery multiple times

-booted phone without sim

-flashed phone without sim

-changed CSC with phone code

-restore a nandroid backup of JM2. Recovery worked with this one when I took the backup

-there's no external flash card inserted

Soooo..does anyone have any idea about this kind of problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mmthabet:
i had a similar problem after trying few ROMs. In my case, when i pres the key combi i get the boot logo and then few seconds later the screen goes black and then i see the boot logo again, and this goes forever. and then i tried pressing the same key combination simultaneously and once i see the boot logo i let go the power button and keep the vol up and home pressed, and then only it went into the recovery mode.

hope it works the same for you

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
Agreed, 99.9% chance you are doing it wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] igniztion:
mmthabet: I had the exact same experience. Letting go of the power button when the logo appears lets me enter recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aatjitra:
or you may need to take out the battery first for a few seconds... after that, you can reinsert it back and try recovery mode...

at least this work for me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
Thanks for replies but none of the solutions work. The recovery mode button combination DID work for a few weeks, but then just stopped working.

I know that I'm doing it right. I have always pressed vol up and home down until the phone loaded recovery and only briefly pressed power button just at the start. I have also tried to remove battery multiple times and once waited 30 mins before re-inserting it.

Trust me, I'm not doing it wrong :s And recovery is working great through adb reboot recovery and shell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
More so a timing issue. Buttons not pressed at the same time.

I get it all the time for all combo's.

Just keep trying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] odyssey61:
You might already have this however just in case you dont, check out Quick Boot.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.siriusapplications.quickboot

With this app you can boot into recovery mode. Have to be rooted though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
this wont work, if you bricked the phone in a bad flash situation.

in times when this app works, you can easily do adb reboot recover

so this app still doesn't address the real issue of how to get the 3 buttons press hardware recovery mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
I release the buttons right when the first Samsung texts comes on the screen. It will take it to Recovery mode. I also had a "boot loop" few times, if I keep pressing the buttons all the time.

Have you tried release your fingers right in the first texts? I really don`t know what is exactly the right way to press the buttons, but this always have took it to Recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Laum:
Looks like my latest full wipe with *2767*3855# cured it. Flashed JM5-->full wipe-->samset1.9b-->samset kernel and now it works. It must've got stuck somehow in my previous JM5 installation.

I cant get into the download- or recovery-mode by using these keys... so i am not able to flash a new firmware! can anybody help me please? is there a chance to get into the download mode by using an adb-command?

please help i just cant get into the download mode!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
yes

adb reboot download

but it is dangerous, as you can not recover from a bricked state, if your flash is not compatible or if something went wrong with odin, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arch3rm:
I you're bricked and can't get into Download or recovery mode, leave the device to boot, it will just show a black screen for a while then will turn its self off, once this happens you should be able to use the key combo.

I usually release the power button on the boot screen first and then the other two buttons
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scouzer:
Any idea how long you waited? Been waiting 5 minutes, hasn't shut off. Mine's a Bell though so I'm guessing I won't have any luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] us1111:
The way i do it (no chance of doing it wrong and timing):

hold down+home and then also press the power button for a little more then 10 seconds (so all 3 buttons for 10 seconds). The phone will reset into download mode, never fails in whatever mode the phone originaly was..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
that will only work on phones where they do not have the download mode disabled
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Igor02:
so there are phones, where the download-mode has been disabled?! why would they do that? and how can we recognise those phones?

I have the same problem.. none of those button-combinations work for me! my phone now is bricked: it stops at the white "galaxy s i9000"-writing at the beginning of the boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
Sadly, I returned mine for a refund today. The Bell store has a 14 day return policy (not to mention air time use restrictions), so I figured I might as well get rid it before accidentally waiting too long.

I was on the phone with tech support while on the phone and they got me to use the demo phone to try to get to recovery. First shot. So I know it wasn't something I was doing wrong. We tried another new phone, but it wouldn't go to recovery/download. Ended up getting a refund then trying @ Futureshop. Neither of their remaining 2 phones would either.

Be interesting to see if it's just a bad batch or not.

boot into Download mode using the 3 button

then run Odin3 to flash again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phoenixdigital:
Not sure if you have been following this thread but the 3 button mode has been disabled in recent releases by Samsung.

Also some investigation here (Including a rookie fail mistake by me.. stupid tar files)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756002

The bootloader has been changed and most likely has had this 3 button mode removed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
hmm... quite the opposite, every one aware of this problem has been returning the phone to the store to get a good one.

newer batches of the phone have working buttons.

there were only a few shipments with disabled buttons

according to some other post samsung is aware of the problem and supposedly we'll be getting a fix for that, for people that still have the 3 button disabled.

but the fastest solution is to return to the store to change it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] specr1:
Hi, I bought my phone in Hong Kong so its not a bell phone. I'm 99.9% sure that the 3 button combination is disabled because I've tried every method of pressing the buttons as described by other users. I've tried both recovery and download modes.

My question is, does anyone know if the Hong kong international Samsung Galaxy S version is going to get the 3-button combination re-activated in a later firmware.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
that's a maybe, we have yet to see new official firmwares with that "fix"

at least you are in luck, the HK version is the same as the UK version

so you can use any i9000 ROM to flash it when it comes out
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] specr1:
Do you mean the UK firmware 2.2? I rather wait for the official one through Kies. Because if it screws up somehow, I can't recover from it because my 3-button combination is disabled.

Also

What do you mean the HK version is the same as UK? My box says samsung.com.hk on it and my firmware is I9000ZSJG4 which is specifically a Asian firmware version
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franteeko:
Does anyone have a link for the thread that discussed the correct way to wipe battery stats when upgrading to a new Rom? I remember it went something like drain dead, charge to full, drain dead again then charge to full and wipe stats. I can't remember the complete process. Thanks for the help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
I've seen a couple different threads on that here, one saying discharge fully then charge while powered off, and the other saying to do a full charge "conditioning cycle". I did the latter and it seems to have made a difference.

Here's what I did:

Charge the phone fully with it powered on

When fully charged, disconnect cable

After green LED goes off, power the phone off

When phone is fully powered off, reconnect cable, amber charging light should be on

When LED goes green, disconnect cable

Repeat previous two steps 10 times

After 10th cycle, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

I am using Amon Ra recovery which has the wipe battery stats option under the Wipe option. I never did this when I had Clockwork recovery installed, so I don't know if the option is in the same place.

Being an electrical engineer, I find this business of battery conditioning interesting, along with the Ni-Cd "memory" vs. Li-Ion "no memory" issue. If anyone has found a decent physics-based explanation as to why these things do or do not have any basis in fact, I'd appreciate a link. Yes, I'm too lazy to Google it at the moment.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectricWraith:
Hmm, I may have to look into this again. I charged my phone all night (powered off) and unplugged it this morning. I did nothing with it this morning but turn it on and look at it, then put it in standby (quick press of power button). It lost 16% of charge in less than 2 hours!

I'm running BS1.2 with the Baked1 (low voltage/best battery) kernel.

Damn, just installed System Panel and found that my CPU is at 100% constantly!

Ok, I believe my issue was related to a camcorder problem, my CPU usage has dropped back to normal levels after fixing that separate problem. After my battery recharges fully I will see what happens with the charge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
the other methods to do "calibrate your battery" (which isnt really calibrating the battery but the battery stats of the phone so it can accuratly judge when it stops and starts charging)

1) charge the phone to full

2) unplug and use phone till it shuts off from no battery (do not plug in until it shuts off)

3) charge phone to full again with out unplugging till 100% (check under about phone > battery it shoudl say full charge there)

this should reset the battery stats.

the last method is one from HTC

1)Charge the phone for 8 hours uninterupted with power on

2) turn off the phone and charge for an additional hour

3) turn ont he phone unplug it and let it sit for 2 minutes then plug it in for an additional hour.

all 3 methods listed should help. I personally dont like the x10 method because it has the potential and basically over charges the battery to make sure it is acctually at a full charge. It is much faster then the other 2 methods though so to each there own.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masbirdies:
Dont waste your time on...

plug/unplug 10 times. It really doesn't recal the battery.

the unplug/plug 10 times.

1. Phone on...charge until green light comes on. Immediately unplug and turn phone off.

2. Plug phone back in until green light comes on again. Immediately boot into Recovery and wipe battery stats.

3. Use the phone on battery until dies.

4. recharge phone to 100%

You are good to go!

If I tether during the day (5+ hours) a lot, is it bad on my battery? Isn't that like a constant charge or does once the LED turn green it stops trying to charge?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
the evo doesnt do a trickle charge so when the light turns green it stops, this is why you will almost always drop 1-5% battery rather quickly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldash:
Are you sure? My light has been green for a while, and my phone battery status says 'Full'.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
There's a lot of confusion over how the battery / charging circuit works and how it reports. My advice is to just charge until it's green and full, then unplug it. If you leave it plugged in all night, unplug it for 10 mins in the morning, then plug it back in to top off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldash:
That doesn't really help me SilverZero, my question is only if leaving it tethered (which means connected to USB) is bad for my battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxBenJamminxx:
Well on mine i would check it every once in awhile and i would see that once it get downs to under 90% that it would charge again till it recognized that it was full again. So based on that i dont think you should have to worry about it. It seems to only draw the charge when needed. I also leave mine plugged in alot when im home so its good to go when i leave and havent noticed a loss of battery life at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzN1337c0d3r:
You guys don't want the charger to trickle charge. Li-Ion does not accept overcharge, even 0.01C (15 mA on the stock Evo battery) will cause it to vent and probably combust.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:

Desire is my 3rd Android phone - I had a G1 and a Hero previously.

I used to use an automatic Task Killer initially when I had my G1, but I actually found it caused more problems than it solved. So, I stopped, and everything started working better.

If you are finding your phone lags, chances are that the issue is an errant app. Whilst "killing" it will relieve the symptoms, the real solution is to dump the app causing the problem.

Android *is* very good at resource management, if left alone to do it's own thing.
