confused

to start, Yes, i've read this thread and most other threads regarding the missing download recovery mode, but i'm still confused.

here's what happend to me (or to my phone)

I bought a SGS 2 weeks ago, it came with 2.1 and I updated it to 2.2 with modifying the registry and downloading the update through Kies.

I've never rooted the phone, nor have I put it in debug mode.

Phone worked great after 2.2 when all of a sudden after I copied a file to the SD card (I switched Kies mode to USB mode, copied the file to the ext SD and disconnected the phone)

Then the phone started acting crazy, it didn't respond to the power button so i removed the battery.

Put battery back in, started up, got the S logo and sounds, but then nothing

every now and then the phone vibrates a bit.

Tried all possible combinations but no recovery/download mode.

I do not have the Phone - ! - Computer logo

I'm thinking of returing it to samsung, but if there is another way to fix it, i'm interested.

thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] msmit4:
Same problem

Hi, i have a SGS too, same story this morning. Phone boots up, shows S logo and then vibrates every now and then, and screen becomes black.

ODIN and OneClickRoot programs won't help, don't recognize the phone. The 3-button download and recovery modes don't work (can't get into those menus)...

Any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
there is no much to do, if you can not get into the recovery mode, or the download mode

return it back to the store for an exchange

did you try the heat trick?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
are you able to get into the recovery mode, or download mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] patj3:
nope, no recovery/download mode.

I haven't tried the heat trick yet, so far I've only read about 1 person that had success with it.

Are there other people that had success with it?

sounds far fetched to be honest..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] montrealguy:
This solution is dead. The software won't even install. It gives an Application Error. Lots of people seem to be getting it.

Anyone have another solution? Mine starts, I see the boot logo and then it goes blank and there is one short vibration, followed by 3 short vibrations. If I touch any button, the vibrations repeat. Can't boot into recovery.

Anyone have a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
I thought I would share my experience.

I also experienced the internal sdcard failure issue. Hopeing to get the phone back working I have flashed different ROMs and such but there was no hope. Internal sdcard just would not mount... meaning it's dead? Anyways...

During this many flashing attempts via Odin, I some how ended up getting this

PHONE-!-PC logo on screen when I powered on.

I have recovered from this by using that home-made-usb-jig-dongle as seen here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551

As for 3-button combo, I was able to access both mode when I applied this fix,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785201

Also, flashing with JH2 ROM seems to bring back the modes aswell with 2e mode.

So it seems that as long as you do not have a epic hardware failure of the internal sdcard you can get back to 'Download Mode' even from the "Phone-!-Pc" state.

I am sure most people who have read the forums would know this already.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Karlos G:
I rooted my Mini 2 days ago using the Universal root (Xploid) and my battery now lasts only 21hours on STANDBY with no calls, sms, data, gps, or wifi, and 9 out of those 21 hours was in Airplane mode as I was asleep!

Anyone else had this and found a solution?

Here is a screen shot of my battery usage..

I would normally get at least 2 days of normal usage, and probably 4 if I didnt use it hardly at all.

Cheers!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
Have you turned your phone off since you rooted?

I noticed on mine that one of the tools used during the rooting process continued running on the phone afterwards and was using most of the CPU time, thus draining the battery (but it doesn't show up in the "Why is my battery dead" screen, as it's a linux process rather than an Android app)

Try turning it off and on again!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Karlos G:
I have restarted but not actually powered down und up again, I would of thought this would be the same, but i'll try it!

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mafijas:
Same situation for me. I rooted X10 mini Pro and battery works only one day without any calls and few SMS. I turn off the phone, try to change battery but still is battery life so bad.

But in my opinion battery is drain normal to the from 100% to 50% and that s least 18 Hours. From 50% to 1% least 3 Hours...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] captainstu72:
Again, I come from the hero so do not know what options you get on your recovery image...

But in there, if you do have this, let you battery get to around 5%, and wipe the battery stats, reboot, charge until full, turn off, charge until full, turn on, charge until full. This should help give you a nice full cycle. Worked for me anyways.

I had the same issues on my hero when I rooted, and have been browsing teh x10 forums as I am thinking about getting one for my fianceé.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TEKWRX:
I noticed the battery life after rooting is very bad also. Much worse the the MyTouch Slide. I'm was running ADWLauncher beacsue I don't care for the Stock Sony one. trying out Helix now to see if it is any better. This sucks because before I bought the phone I read about how good the battery is. Can rooting really make the battery drain faster?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] account1:
no recovery image on X10 mini

no wipe battery stats option because of that

but thanks for your help anyway
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FiDra:
Same as mine, after rooted, my phone drains battery too much, 3% in 1 hour.

I figured out that you should reboot your phone to bring it back to normal. I have reboot my phone and now it drains less battery, just 3% in 8 hour when the phone stand by.

Give it a try guys.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] TEKWRX:
What do you mean, reboot? I've rebooted many times, I've even tried different batteries and still the same problem. Do you mean un-root? If so, how do you do that?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Karlos G:
Mine seems to be ok after turning off and on again.

How did you try different batteries?? Or are you a Pro?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SiL3nTKiLL:
what do u have running in the background?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] emwgee:
I noticed the diagnostic process runs constantly and takes up much of the CPU power after I rooted my X10 mini, and that seems to be the major cause for draining the battery.

I wonder if anybody else here has the same experience?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] uni3que:
Hey try using Juice Defender .. it works like charm for me !!

Bravo Juice !! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
Never thought that rooting will drain the battery!

going back to stock rom? (never)

I find switching off usb debugging gives a bit of a boost, if I need it then I switch it back on but 99% of the time its not.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] veloz46:
I do not understand the problems of Android battery truth is that they are problematic.

I configured to use the savings SetCPU
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] devilakos:
Set cpu is not the sollution.....x10 mini has a weak cpu(its not verry weak but its not good)and if put its 600mhz down to 400 it starts lagging and down 400 it has parkinson.................follow my instructions( in my previous reply) and u will have better batery :) plz i want everybody solve their battery problem.......
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
The fix suggested by devilakos is (imho) needed on stock rom also when recovery is installed. I applied it to both my stock roms (see sig) and has a positive effect on battery life.

The problem is in the chargemon/charger configuration, independent of build.

i just updated my Pri. but i have yet to run into this and a may be doing a bit of driving soon should i be worried?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
If it happens, just call Sprint from a landline, and they'll do some reconfiguring on their end, and have you do a factory data wipe. Just make sure to back everything up first!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattickus2:
I just updated mine last night and now im unable to data or voice roam on the cm6 forced roam setting. I think I'm going to revert back to the old one as soon as I have time to figure out how to do it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyflipj:
I did a factory wipe and it didn't work. Did you call sprint while running cm6?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Yes, just call Sprint (both of you). Tell them that your PRI just upgraded from 1.34 to 1.40, and now whenever you roam, your data doesn't go through, and when you make calls, you just get a message from Verizon saying they can't authorize your phone. The guy didn't ask me anything else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
Settings/system updates/profile update, then a reboot fixed it for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattickus2:
Thanks, I'll flash back to fresh and try that.

Edit: I also called sprint and it fixed my issue. I had to setup google voice as my voicemail again though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyflipj:
So after I called sprint I can go on internet while roaming but I can't make or receive phone calls. I updated profiles and that didn't do anything. I will try and give sprint a call again

*UPDATE* I called Sprint again and they fixed the issue for me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deviouskater:
did you do it thru cm6 or did you flash back to stock rooted rom when you called sprint
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyflipj:
I flashed back to latest fresh rom

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magick86:
The model is a i9000. I have SK telecom based out of South Korea.

According to my wife, they have not done anything to lock down the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
The option should appear regardless if the update.zip is present or not.

Home + Volume UP + POWER
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magick86:
I copy the update.zip file over to the phone. Only three options appear. (1. Reboot system now, 2. Wipe device factory reset, 3. wipe cache partition). The option to install packages (update) does not appear.

We have to use volume down because volume up does not load the recovery mode, just starts the phone.

I get the same options if I use adb to restart the phone.
[Desire General] erto90:
I've noticed that the stock htc camera is bad for taking photos

when i had Acer liquid with acer stream camera photos quality was really good

now i'm asking: is a software issue or what? also liquid with stock camera was bad,but only changing the application,the quality was a lot better

any suggestion? which parameters do you use with desire ? ( like saturation,brightness,iso etc)

Attacched photos to see differences ( sorry aren't 100% the same but you can notice the difference)
[Desire General] Hurizen:
Just to know (I have pretty the same problem).

Try to make a photo without the back cover.
[Desire General] erto90:
mmm tried but didn't noticed difference...

you noticed difference without backcover??
[Desire General] blinde:
Camera indeed sucks. So what other camera applications are available?

Retro Camera and FX Camera. Those are not really for replacement.
[Desire General] Hurizen:
Yes, I can clearly see the difference with and without the cover. Especially when making videos but also with photos.
[Desire General] erto90:
Would be great to port camera from other devices.. also the google camera ( source camera) is better as i saw.. is possibile to port to all roms?

the camera of acer stream is awesome with awesome settings,but don't know if will be possible to ort to desire..

You right! without back cover there is a very visible difference!

Why this and how to solve?
[Desire General] Hurizen:
Here you can see the difference with and without the backcover. For me, it's because of the plastic used for the lens. It spoil out using the phone with time.

You can try to remove the plastic or replace the cover. I have not found a good solution yet. For now... I just remove the cover when needed (thanks god I don't make a lot of photos)
[Desire General] BrainMcFly:
a friend of mine was at a clockmaker. He just drills out the plastic cover and glues a saphire-glass in, now its a scratch free and HQ camera cover. Costs are around 20 Euro including work (it lasts 10 Minutes). But you need and old-style clock-maker with its own repair-shop.
[Desire General] Jgruar:
I like Vignette alot. Well worth the money, really professional-ish look & feel to it.
[Desire General] erto90:
:mad: too difference! i think there will be a way to solve this problem,is inammissible for htc to made these things

someone has home-made solution working?
[Desire General] Hurizen:
Or for 20 € I've found a battery cover replacement.

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=199270

But it's brown or silver :rolleyes:. And it will get scratched in no time, like in the original one. Brian's solution is definitive.
[Desire General] andycted:
Have you tried cleaning really well on the inside, as well on the outside ? Mine is a bit scratched too, but I can't see much difference when taking photos. (can you ? http://picasaweb.google.com/101504838761028525419/CoverOnCoverOffCleanedCoverLens?feat=directlink)
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
aint that using the same plastic cover??

Mine aint scratched but I still notice a different without cover so replacing it with glass seems to be only option other then removing cover everytime you wanna take a pic/vid.
[Desire General] elvis56:
Your pictures seem much more to what I am experiencing taking photos. Hardly(if any) difference cover on or off. I did notice there isn't a lot of color in your pictures.
[Desire General] Jgruar:
Tbh, I don't think having a tiny smudge on the cover affects the quality that much as andycted demonstrated. The real limitation is that after all, its a phone camera.

Try using different camera app's with some image-enhancing effects. I recommend Vignette, try it out!
[Desire General] andycted:
I'm inside, in a very drab cloudly light coming from the window. Indeed the default settings for the camera (stock froyo) lack a bit of saturation, I forgot to set it to +1.

I remember noticying quite a lot of difference and thinking that since my protector is scratched, that was the cause. Turns out it was greasy on the outside, as well as the inside, as I remove the cover every other day to change battery

EDIT: I've added a couple of shots with +1 and +2 saturation and one where the autoflash went off
[Desire General] Hurizen:
For me, also your pics lacks of shaprness. You'll notice it better with hi-def images.
[Desire General] erto90:
just bought Vignette to see, I think is great apllication and take better photos than stock camera

There are a lot of optimization and i really like it

try this out!
[Desire General] andycted:
I didn't take the pain to change the settings, or to take great pics, it's a chair and a bottle ! it was just in order to compare lens on/off photos, in every day conditions and the difference isn't all that great. My lens is scratched too.

Stock camera is ugly to see, dodgy in some stuff, but has a ton of functionality. I can't, even remotely, be called a photographer, but I had some fun while going for a walk some minutes ago.

http://picasaweb.google.it/101504838761028525419/MarePesaroTemporale?feat=directlink

The sky was very grey and light quite dim, so I tried to play with exposure and saturation, burning the sky and pretty much everything else in the process. A couple shoots aren't bad though. Try to guess which are with and without lens cover hehe.

Had a good long look at a Telus Desire today...it's the new S-LCD.

It's a lot better than the washed out AMOLED HTC was using for the Desire/N1/Incredible. It's actually better, in my quick testing, than the Milestone/Droid LCD (which is a damned good screen), blacks are deeper and colors stronger.

Still sucks compared to our S-AMOLED though. :)

Dear all, my phone is the water goods phone and buy in HK,

the phone SI is 1230-4521.6

And the software installed is R1A006, but it do not have radio inside, so I download the GENERIC_TW_R3AA035_CABS inside this site, and install all the cab.

After that, I use Sonyericsson Update Service to update, but it say

"Failed to detect product

This product could not be indetified.

Please disconnect it and try again."

I try it a few times, but still show the same message, so what can I do for that?

[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
What's a 'water goods phone' ?

And if one does not know WHAT one is doing.... DO NOT DO IT !

SI has generic_SG so why did you put the cabs from TW on?

Just try the following: Go to settings and clear / reset phone. After you have alinged the screen and it restarts to start the Customization, remove immediately the battery and restart the phone.

When it asks to do the customization now, say NO. Let is start up.

The turn it off and connect to SEUS, go into bootloader mode (volume up/power button hold until white screen with SE logo!) and hope/pray/cross fingers (or whatever!) that SEUS will update it.

If it really works, DO NOT EVER PLAY AROUND WITH THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything suggested here is for Advanced Users! Not people that dont know squat. Sorry but that is the way it is. If you break your phone after you attempted some of those suggestions........ too bad. You got a brick!

In any case, hope the above helps. It should. I did it several times when changing the Language/Generic_XX. Success for you!;)
