[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Hi nice guy. Time to throw you in my killfile. You speculate and on basis of that speculations you make a lot of fuzz . Really not worthwhile to go into.. Really I can find arguments against all what you are saying, but what does it matter? Only thing you found, is a way to keep everyone from finding some kind of workaround or understanding of what is going on. Keep it up, prof. GPS. I say goodbye to you. Have fun with your log file.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Saw one store here in my place putting put a small tarp about their available andriod phones, the Galaxy S was listed but they dont have any prices yet.. their ETA is 2nd - 3rd week August, same information from official samsung mobile stores and some store even expecting a shipment anytime this week..

So if the above story is true, should we expect the handsets to be released on september instead ? ( This would be our first release outside the local telco )

Hi, Well I'm trying to finally root my EVO before updating to 2.2 and put a custom ROM on. I can't seem to get past the first part. After entering the bootloader, it checks PC36img.zip...I'm not given the option to flash, immediately after it checks it I am prompted with the following:

Main Version is older?

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<Vol UP> Yes

<Vol Down> No

I even tried the simplerootfull.2 and got the same error. Can anyone point me in the right direction...would really like to get this rooted and a Non-Sense 2.2 ROM on it. Thanks.

I can't get anywhere with this damn thing....I've flashed my devices a million times before and this is just buggin the **** out of me. Heck, I got froyo on my HD2 in 30 minutes. This is just not going anywhere!!!

Tried the resolution to the Main Version is Older, and I can't even get the RUU to flash to the phone. It doesn't see it when connected to my computer and errors out, nothing happens on the phone. Tried while connected to HTC Sync, Disk Drive, Charge Only with Debug enabled. RUU won't work.

It's just irritating I can't get anywhere with this POS.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocobongo77:
You got main older version because the PC36IMG is a older hboot for 2.1 (hboot 0.79.000). You got now 2.2 and the hboot is 0.93.000

Try flash the 3.26.651.6 stock root posted to see if work for you

I have the same issue, I used the unrevoked download just the root part, I didn't do anything else and my evo is rooted but I tried other methods because I didn't know if it was rooted, my friend downloaded a few apps and we found out my evo was rooted, it was a trip, we still haven't found out how to get pass the old version stuff, just try the unrevoked download, just hit start and your done. Your evo won't be fully rooted but you will have root access. Try it

Guys if this doesn't work for you nothing will. Seriously, slow way down, read very carefully and this will take a whole 7 minutes to accomplish. If you don't want to use the computer to enter adb shell just download terminal emulator from the market and enter the commands through that. easy cheesy. OP feel free to send me a PM if you need additional help, ill try to answer back in a timely manner
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazzysandman:
I'm just gonna wait until 2.2 is rooted and all the bugs are fixed, I'm happy with this unrevoked root, but I will read it

simple root also just came out with a one click root, i have used it on friends phones with excellent success, takes maybe 10 minutes total. Probably teither of the above methods will be MUCH easier than a froyo root ... but who knows, good luck whichever method you decide to go with

I´ve got it installed, but cant get it to navigate me since it say it cant lock on enugh satelites to guide me.

But google maps can find me ofc within 50m

I have another question regardin Navigon 2.6.1.

I am unable to use it for multi-countries routes. The program says: Unable to caltulate the route (error 472). However, it works perfectly for one-country routes.

using it outside, will try again today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Aafjes:
That's a well known problem, which for what I know is due to the fact that you're using a non-legal version. It it said that the original, legal version (which you actually pay for) doesn't have this problem. I guess that if you have had a legal version, you would be asking Navigon about this problem.

So do the math. :) Buy the legal version or keep using the non-legal version, which doesn't work properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Basari:
on my galaxy S Navigon 2.6.1 works perfectly.

just installed it the normal way!

Ok sometimes the position could be more exactly, but thats a problem of my galaxy s I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dark_sith:
works, just needs some time to start
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pharaohdk:
tried walking around where i live, and it finaly picked up my position. so it works after all :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] djglenn1337:
Does Navigon purely use GPS, or does it require internet access?

I am asking because I would not want charges in foreign countries.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Basari:
No Navigon dont need any internet...

works with your preinstalled maps ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] djglenn1337:

thats the reason i got it :) needed a gps tracker that dont need internet :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TMReuffurth:
OMG, i installed the Navigon App from market just to test it and see if it is better than the NDrive. After downloading almost 2GB of Mapdata it had not my Street on the map!!!:rolleyes:

Ok i live outside of a city in Portugal, but sorry, this is just redicilous. Even 15 years old paper maps have this...

Then i wanted to try out the navigation function but it didn´t work. It found my position and changed it on the map while moving but when trying to set a destination it complained every time "Simulation cannot be startet" :confused: Simulation? WTH?? Even tried restarting the phone, but app won´t make a navigation...

Anyone else with this problem?

Edit: Now i compared the Map size on SD Card of Navigon from Portugal with the one from Ndrive. Maybe this doesn´t mean so much, but the Map of Navigon has about 50 MB and the one from Ndrive 200 MB. This could explain why my street isn´t available on Navigon XD

When my phone is sitting idle (screen off) it will randomly decide to power itself off. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on what could be causing it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you mean randomly power itself ON, right?

if that is the case, it's normal, it just mean it woke up to connect to the internet, to get updates of news, emails, or whatever it was scheduled to pick up
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The Balvenie:
nope. i mean it randomly turns itself off. this topic is being discussed over on the att captivate galaxy forum section.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
interesting, so it's going from stanby mode, to complete OFF... nope never seen that happen to my i9000 model
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The Balvenie:
yep totally powered off... completely sucks... looks like there are a bunch of ppl that have this issue with the captivate on att. $10 says its some lame piece of software that att puts on your phone that's causing the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's possible, i've read here a few users having crazy power issues (battery draining very fast) with their SGS i9000, but after wiping it out clean, to start anew, then the power problem is gone away.

so yes, a software could cause something weird like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vekma:
Factory reset and so far so good

Hey guys,

I use a Galaxy S here in Hong Kong and I had the same random shut down issue constantly happen when my screen went off...

I tried everything, check temperature of cpu, etc. etc. and nothing worked, it just got worse and worse.

I even changed the battery to use the spare one that came with this. Still problematic.

Used SET CPU to limit the cpu to 400mhz, still problems.

Finally I did a factory reset and so far so good.

I only have the original system installed with the Remember the Milk app installed.

24 hours, no problems.

Installed AppBrain app.

Then I installed 3G WatchDog

12 hours, no problem.

Then I installed Paperdroid

12 hours, so far no problems at all.

If I run into an issue I'll post it here. But I think it definitely was a software issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vekma:
Update - it randomly shut down on me

Alright guys, it shut down on my randomly today in the afternoon......

I dont know if it's the re-charging that screwed it up?

Because after my factory reset, last night was the first time i charged it....

Hmmm
[Galaxy S I9000 General] atg2d:
This happened to me too - two days in a row until noon it would shut down two or three times - i uninstalled SetCpu and for now (24 hours) it hasn't happened again. I am not sure if it was the one responsible but it started happening after i installed two programs and i uninstalled them after it started happening. I uninstalled Visual Task Switcher first but on the next day it turned off again, then i unsinstalled SetCpu and it hasn't happened again - maybe some wrong profile settings but i didn't feel like experimenting :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMReuffurth:
I had this issue once too in about 40 days.

I was reading an sms and then i turned into standby and put it in my pocket. Later, maybe 40 minutes i came home and my phone was completely off. I do not remember if i had to take out the battery before to get it on again.

I was wondering why it happened. Maybe it was caused by an app i had opened. Battery still was at 40%.

But since it only occured once in 40 days i doesn´t bother me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ptechnix:
Interesting you mention this as it just happened to me today for the first time. I took it out of my pocket and wtf? The phone was off. Very strange... Using the i9000 on the stock Eclair rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
Should send back for warranty
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vekma:
software clash?

Well the phone suddenly switched off for me, but this time I turned off APPBRAIN and so far so good.

In fact, I came across an app called NoLED and since it kind of keeps ht phone on, while I have it on my desk, I'm able to be notified of stuff and so far with that, the phone hasnt' shut off.

I'm still experimenting with what works, but try turning off AppBrain and see if you still have the random shut off issue....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i use app brain all the time to keep my apps in sync

not the cause of the problem, that's for sure

my phone can last a whole day even with app brain running

Me too, shutdown everyday

Hi guys

After upgrade OS to I9000ZSJG4, Phone random shutdown everyday.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vekma:
Yep still shuts down

Tried keeping AppBrain off, still shuts down.

Used NoLED so the screen kind of stays on, still shuts off..

So far shut off on me after 40 hrs... this is really stupid.

I am this close to taking it back, but I genuinely think it's a software issue than a hardware issue...sigh

Anyone have any luck figuring this out?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mailcoder:
Same problem no solution yet

Hi

I too have the same problem, haven't found any solution yet.

The temperature etc is all good, there is no pattern in shutdown issues.

I have tried factory reset and no new application, it still shut down while using in built browser.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devonblue4u:
I had the same thing happen to me while skiing in Whistler last weekend. It died twice. I attributed it to the cold. I normally use a 3000mah battery up there, but left it back the house that day. Afterwards while charging in the car and even charging it at home it died prematurely again. It was the eBay aftermarket variety 1500mah knock off. I have since changed back to the Samsung OEM battery. I haven't had an issue with it since. My assumption is that the knock offs in my case cannot handle the heat cycles of charging and then the cold as well as the original. Or they have a limited lifespan, well below OEM specs. I am now only using the 3000mah battery on the weekends to hedge my bet on the quality of manufacture, as it seems to be from the same factory as the 1500.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dukuletz:
I've the same problem too. Mine shutdown completely and the only way i can turn it on is take out the battery. And the phone seems to warm up a liltle bit.

Stock JPY with speedmod kernel K13C. I noticed a heavy battery drain, from ~75% to 65%, so the only problem i can think of is there is an application that constanly drain the battery (there come and the heat) and somehow the OS shut the phone down to protect it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] virgopunk:
Same problem but only recently happened a couple of times. Posted on another thread and someone suggested that it was the battery stats incorrectly reading the battery status and shutting down. I think I may need to do a delete batery stats and flush and recharge the battery to make sure it's calibrated correctly.

I'm hoping its only that. It's a bit worrying but doesn't seem to have any other impact on my SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dukuletz:
Do you have the same symptoms like i've discribed? Did you tried to recalibrate the battery stats? Does it help?

My phone is random shutdown but very rare, it happens 2 times in 1 month. The strange thing its the phone warm up like when you charge it, or use the HSPDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lsevald:
Not sure if I had the same issue, but mine randomly refused to wake up quite often. I had to hold the power button for 10 seconds to force it to turn off before I could turn it on like normal again. Setting WiFi sleep policy->Never seems to have fixed it for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] njuzhyf:
yeah, i am using cm7 in my sgs, and the shutdown/reboot problem randomly happened. i was told that this related to wifi. Setting the wifi sleep strategy to never would help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dukuletz:
Yeah, the phone did not responded to back button or any others. I didn't had the patience to push the power button for 10 secs, i thought it was really dead so i had to remove the battery to reboot.

I read somewhere there is a problem with the screen sleep, its become unresponsive somehow.

Anyway, lets hope that is just an software issue and not hardware :D I'll try to reset my battery and turn off the Wifi sleep policy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sahib.alejandro:
same problem here!

I have same problem twice, the phone goes idle, after a while.. shut down.

But when I try to turn on, an empty battery image shows in the screen, then I need to connect to USB, even if the battery has charge.

It seems like the battery report empty status when is not empty.

Now I let the phone to empty full battery, and recharge again full, then I'll do a swipe battery stats when is 100% charged.

Let me see what happends and back here with test results, I home that fix the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] excubitoris:
I have i9000 and after it did get Gingie (2.3.3/xwjvn) the random reboots started.

I dont remember that Froyo did cause any of that.

Its starting to be annoying. It shuts down sometimes middle of something -

different things - game, sms, phone just some random app.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gpapag:
Hi

is there any way that when a bluetooth headset is connected the phone rings through the internal speaker and not through bluetooth headset? When I have an incoming call phone may ring just once though the speaker and then ringing is transfered to headset.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
These are the 3 important things on my list about Windows Phone 7. I know initially these wont be available but i remember reading a while back that the emulator or something got hacked by someone here and revealed a file explorer in windows phone 7

is that any indication that there will be a means of exploring the contents of the device like we currently have on winmo?

also how feasible would it be for them to allow multitasking for apps? is that something impossible for this platform or could they actually do this with a update?

and whats the word on using the device as a usb drive like most phones out there can currently do?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well you probably didn't follow the WP7 news....

Anyway at launch NONE of the above are available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
The file explorer in the emulator didn't really work, but was present. It won't be available in the retail version and there will be no file system access for users.

Multitasking will likely be added in a future update, although I would bet that this will be some iPhone-style limited multitasking where programs won't actually run in background but rather use OS services to do what needs to be done while they're not in focus. That multitasking is needed was confirmed by MS. How it will be implemented is not known, I'm guessing here.

This won't be available. After all, it's not really useful without file system access.

So in these areas WP7 is very similar to the iPhone. To get this features, WP7 devices will need to be jailbroken (or whatever the process will be called).
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Like stated above. Many if not all the things you are looking for may be missing on launch. But future updates may change this. Also don't doubt the good people at XDA-Devs not to find some sort of way around getting USB Mass Storage access as well as a File Explorer. Never Say "Never" around this place.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
what about downloading through the web browser? like downloading pictures or like i do with my tp2 download music and albums will any downloading be possible at all thru the browser? since theres no file explorer now im guessing not
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I'm pretty sure we will get a USB Mass Storage mod, I just hope it isn't a long process like on the iphone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
That is possible for file types supported by the OS - images, office documents. All other file types will be downloadable via webbrowser controls within third-party applications to their isolated storage areas.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Azatey:
I think some kinds of multitasking are available. Read this post: bolingconsulting[dot]com/blog/?p=46
[Windows Phone 7 General] sketchy9:
There is first party multitasking for some apps e.g. Zune. No third party multitasking e.g. no Pandora.

-R
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
but there is a iPhone esque multi-tasking. They call it tombstoning. The app gets put into a saved state when you switch apps, and when you hit the back button it gets brought back up as if you never left, but it is not running in the background, just saved. But if you go to the home/star menu and start the same app it gets started as if you never had it in the tombstone state.
[Windows Phone 7 General] julienrl:
the toombstoning sounds awefull for anything that uses bluetooth or gps....
[Windows Phone 7 General] crow26:
Tombstoning is NOT multitasking and it is NOT an alternative.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
in most cases it is the same as multi tasking with the exception of music other than zune or gps / bluetooth however i do not see a need for a gps app to be running when its not in the foreground. but any other will act the same as it would on a phone with multi tasking. i would be intrested in you posting your example that you think wp7 cant do (with the exception of what is listed above).
[Windows Phone 7 General] crow26:
It's not at all the same, never. Completely different thing that has nothing to do with multitasking.
