Samsung must be stupid if they intentionally disable 3-buttons combo.

- Increase guarantee and supporting cost.

- Make their products less appeal to modders.

This is completely different from Apple position, Samsung will not get a cut from software sales so they does not have to care about piracy or anything like that.

They only sell hardware for profit. Less bricking mean less supporting / replacement cost.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kasha:
Yes, I also thought of that. But I had similar problem with the second phone (the one with recovery mode available), i flashed the .pit file and the recovery mode showed errors, so I had to reflash again. I don't think many people here with 3 buttons mode locked are willing to take the risk and flash the 512.pit for us to check this. :)

Anyway, I'm getting the phone to service center this week, we'll see how much it will cost to re-flash it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gad13:
I already replaced my pit partition and the phone is still locked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phoenixdigital:
Ok the mystery deepens...

My friend just got two SGS phones which differ in serial number by 9.... One goes into recovery mode... the other doesn't...

So I think that rules out software/setting differences and leads me to think there is a hardware fault happening here.

There was talk about there being 3 production lines and that one of the lines was pumping out these 'neutered' phones due to some mistake which has been rectified...

the poll results (for such a small sample size) do tend to indicate

2/3 working

1/3 neutered

I'm starting to think the production line story is actually true...

It could still be fixed by a software update however as the 'oven method' seems to indicate it is still accessible from boot. So all is not lost.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] omiks3:
Sorry for being off topic too but i pretty much just cut and pasted your letter and sent to optus lol. A lady called me straight away and arranged me to take my phone into a store and get a exchange. the problem is the lady had no idea what recovery mode was i had to explain it to her and she said it doesnt get exchanged on the spot you have to let them send it to where ever and the engineer will look at it and decide. Ive sent my phone away to get repaird through optus before and it took three weeks to get my phone back. I don't like going without a cool phone for that long now that ive gotten use to it (f**kn boring job) so i was thinking of just taking it to samsung my self as ive heard it only takes three days to repair. Wot do you guys think?

[Android Software Development] JerzyIroc:
Is there a custom ROM or even a simple app possible that can capture 720P video at LEAST 25fps for the Evo? I have yet to be able to capture anything better than 22fps. It's unacceptable. Also the audio quality is TERRIBLE. 8Khz? Seriously HTC?
[Android Software Development] CrashUK:
HTC Phones are good but the camera is very poor. If it was recording at 25fps it would still suck... Droid X does 720p recording very well like a mini camcorder. I have HTC Desire..
[Android Software Development] ding0:
I managed to get around 30fps..

Audio still poor though :(

But here's how you do, go to Camera(not video, photo!), change ISO -> 800 (not Auto), then -> Video recording, and it should be more stabile and higher fps.

Regards. :-)
[Captivate General] Deca4:
I have my phone setup exactly the way I want it. Is there a program or a way to create a full image / copy of my phone? That way if screw something or get a phone replacement I can restore everything as it was on the phone - settings, data - everything.

I'm not talking about backups like T. Backup etc. Something like making a image of your computer with Acronis but make an image of your phone.

Thanks in advance.

Left@Home

With Left@Home installed and running, if you leave your phone at home, you'll have no messages and phone calls missed at all!

How it works:

1. start the app and keep it running background, waiting for specific SMS commands

2. if you left your phone at home, just use another phone nearby to send a command to your phone to initiate the service (you'll get feedbacks if the function is enabled in Settings )

3. all SMSs received at home will be forwarded to the phone you want, and everyone who calls your phone will be notified the reachable number

4. you may stop the service at anytime
[Android Apps and Games] disaster_ita:
I think this is an usefull app, nice idea!

I have not tried it, but a suggestion:

if a specified command is received via sms, turn on data connection, wifi or network (I always have off it), and send mail to specified address that report sms and calls lost.

This is because sometimes you can have Internet access, but not a phone to redirect calls.
[Android Apps and Games] w00yee:
Thank you very much for your great suggestion! Am working on the data connection right now. Just like you mentioned, we can get logs from a data connection in the web page later :)
[Android Apps and Games] disaster_ita:
Sorry I have not understand this point:

Only now I have see that it is a paid app so... I will not try it :(

Furthermore I have problem with my phone and I can't install anything.

Anyway another thought, perhaps you have already done, but I have not saw, in the case excuse me: specify number of second phone in the sms command, it could be different every time and I know it only when realize that have forgot my phone@home.
[Android Apps and Games] w00yee:
currently, you have two ways of specifying the forwarding number, the first one: you can type it in Settings, it is recommended if you have two daily phones; the other way, by default, the app will take the number from which you send the commands. So, it is pretty flexible. :p

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpandas:
Hello,

I have tried attempted to root and flash a new ROM on my phone and now I seem to have lost SD and USB support. it does not recognize any of the SD cards i put it (doesn't realize theres an SD card inside) and does not recognize any USB plugged in.

I have HBOOT .80 and i THINK i got the root correct (lotsa problems along the way so i'm not sure), but i was able to flash a ROM (NexTSENSE) so i think it worked. now, i saw a thread about fixing USB support but that required SD support. and reading that made me feel like i was royally screwed. in any case, any suggestions? I think USB support is still kinda there since I can get it to recognize it in the boot menu. but when i try to do it in recovery and use the flash rom .bat, it says device not found.

it would seem that the main concern right now is that i can't get it to see my SD cards. any of them, even after reformats and whatnot.

i can't connect to HTC Sync or anything of the of the sort. usually when i charge the phone, you get the charging notification but i don't even get that now. sounds like a driver problem but i can't see what is wrong. my computer doesn't even recognize the phone as a device every now and then

Hope i provided sufficient information. New to android scene so don't be too hard on me please =O but yea, any suggestions are welcome. thanks in advance

edit: usb support... ever so slightly back. aka, it charges now. probably was drivers on my lappy getting funny after moving between bootloader and recovery and all that fun stuff
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
You have the usb brick issue. Check out the thread on that. Also once you are up and running again, root using unrevoked or the fake flash method. All information is available in the dev forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpandas:
ok, i've done some reading and this is what i've found so far. my phone is stuck in USB debug hence no USB support and somewhere along the way, SD support was disabled. from what i see, the fix is to

first:

reload the step1 of root to get back to 1.15 and basic root access.

second:

from there, i can re-enable SD support using the command:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

third:

apply USB-Brick fix found in post 1 of thread

and then i should be able to reload ROMs as usual. is this correct?

and where exactly do i put in the command to re-enable SD support? this is what has be confused right now. along with the commands for the USB fix

i am using the tinycore method so i just have the step1.sh. and then in the same console, can i enter that command? should i do it after a reboot? or load back into bootloader to do it. (bootloader or fastloader)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpandas:
OOOOK. sorry about the continuous posts. putting new info up so it isn't exactly a bump right?

in any case, i used the androidSDK tools and ran the fastboot from there and i think i re-enabled my SD correctly. i was then able to run the USB-brick fix found on modaco forums. all done and done. nowww, since i just went through half the root process (step1.sh with tinycore), do i need to finish it? or since i had already rooted before, is it all done now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
I'm not 100% sure about that as I haven't had to fix the usb brick for ages now!

Download and install titanium backup from the market. If it works fine, then you are rooted. If not, root woth unrEVOked or fakeflash.

All the older root methods that require usb during the root process leave you open to the usb brick again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csyrix:
Hi fatpandas..

Is your phone ok now? Actually my phone also have a problem like yours last week..until now,i can't fix it..if now your phone ok,can u share with me..thnks in advance..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpandas:
@csyrix

sorry to hear about your situation. after just being there, i can tell how horrible it is. good news is, if you really have the same problem, then it is definitely fixable.

now, i don't know what method you used to flash yours the first time but from what i've seen, they're mostly the same. what you wanna do first is do that step1 thing where you have a temporary ROM installed. (1.15?) same process as usual.

then you'll need to run 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' with phone plugged in while in FASTBOOT (back button + power button thing)

in case you don't know where to put that in, you wanna run that in your command prompt (computer) while operating in the tools folder of the android SDK. (thank god for my limited computer knowledge cuz all the instructions i found just say, "run this command" and like hell if most know how/where)

in any case, the end result will be you having completed step1 and having re-enabled SD support. then turn off phone.

then get the fix from this thread

move that to your SD card (micro SD adapter) and turn back on your phone into bootloader. go to the recovery menu and hold volume up + power to bring up menu and hit the apply: update.zip.

then all should be well. i then moved on to step2 to make sure i had rooted properly. may not be necessary but i remember reading that rooting a rooted device isn't a problem so i just felt the need to do it to be safe.

that should be it. the link provided actually has all the instructions anyways (i hope mine are a bit more clear), but if not, that link should be able to fill in the holes. g'luck sir
