I purchased a universal car charger from Frys for $6.00 the week the phone came out and never really used it till today. While it was charging it felt really hot, I looked at the temperature and it went from 89F. to 129F. in less than five minutes. Has anybody else had any luck with a non Samsung car charger? I really don't want to pony up for the Tmobile one and prefer to buy one under $10 if possible. Or do you think the temperature is fine on the current one I have?
[Vibrant Accessories] darkknight49:
i got this one for like $5 a while back. works great.

Also, check out monoprice.com. you can essentially build one for cheap.
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
Inexpensive and Car Charger is never a good combo. I never understood why people would drop so much on a phone then cheap out on the charger. Cheap chargers don't last very long and can actually damage your battery.
[Vibrant Accessories] ilskuei:
+1 to what speoples said...although it was a while back, i once fried my phone's charging circuit using the cheap car charger. i never use them after what happened.
[Vibrant Accessories] tengtengvn:
I got few of these when meritline have them on sale for 80 cents/each. Forgot how much voltage it put out when I measured it but it's good enough for a USB charger and stable.

Why is Kies so difficult? why is it so huge?

Downloaded the latest version a few days ago, couldn't for the life of me get it to connect to my phone. Downloaded the latest version today, still can't get it to connect.

Have formatted internal SD, set to KIES mode, started KIES first etc. etc. still just get the "Connecting the device..." on the screen with no sign of it doing anything.

Why is this so difficult?

remove all other USB devices

some PC have cheap USB ports, seriously.

just today i was fixing an IBM computer, and none of the back USB ports worked, only the 2 in the front, i was like WTH !!! ??? :eek::confused:

usually is the opposite, front USB no good, but back USB are good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goritix:
I had the same problem with Kies. It seems that if you are using an alternative home screen (ie: Launcher pro) the phone doesn't hit the idle screen and the mtp mode doesn't kick in. Use the stock home screen app and try again. (make sure debug mode is off too)

BTW I did not come up with this!! I found it via google. Credit to whoever came up with it first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barakoas:
Had same issue.. now it works everytime i want connect..

What i did was just ..in Kies turn off both automatic starts in general settings!!then restart PC to apply it..

Now when i wanna conect my phone to Kies.. ill start Kies 1st and then connect phone.. with kies connection settings on the phone ofc :)

EDIT: when u connect your phone.. u must see that USB plug logo on your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kempas:
Thanks for the replies. Nothing wrong with the usb port I'm using, works fine in normal mass storage mode and does kick off the recognition when in kies mode - it just never gets past the connecting please wait etc message.

Will try it a few more times, take the ticks off the settings etc. and may install it on my other machine and give it a try under xp.

Cheers - any way to have a shorter space bar and have some punctuation characters, cursor control in landscape keyboard mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immyh:
best way to get it to connect is to turnoff kies automatic detection and take it off teh system tray. Then connect your phone as usual and wait for windows to detect it as normal. Once this happens then startup kies manually works everytime.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazz44:
Exactly the same problem. Just had it running for over half an hour and it didn't connect the device to Kies 1.5.1.10074_2. I have successfully installed all the drivers for my phone for 64-bit. There is nothing wrong with any USB ports on my PC. I don't have Kies setup to run automatic detection, or in the system tray. I have also restarted several times. I always start Kies before connecting the phone. I have done nothing to this phone except install a few apps from the market. My phone shows up as GT-I9000M (I have the phone from Bell) under My Computer. It lets me add files to it without problems. But the second I try and get it to run on Kies, no dice. I figured I would join this website because I am new to Android (and programming... lol) and I really want to get into this kind of stuff, but I can't get anywhere if I can't have the fundamentals laid out for me to use.

Another thing to add, if I enable mass storage, the internal and external storage becomes empty when i connect the phone (Insert disk into whatever) when I know they are both mounted and functioning properly...

I will provide more info if needed, but that's all I can think of to say at this time.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone will help.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazz44:
Just talked to Bell Rep's at two stores, and I asked them about Kies, and they told me that Kies has not been updated to support the gti9000m from Bell as of yet... Don't know if this is true for everyone, but it would certainly explain why I can't connect to Kies...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kempas:
Well, I've tried every step to try and get Kies to see the phone but it just doesn't want to work...

Got kies to work first time I tried it. That was a few weeks ago, havent got it working since.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kempas:
Finally, success!

Decided to try again on my other machine (XP). Unmounted internal/external sd, remounted internal, unmounted external.

Connected kies mode before starting KIES, waited for device discovery, started KIES, voila!

Had done the same numerous times on the other machine (Vista) but with no luck...

Anyway, backup up my contact and tried the upgrade firmware but it says this device's version cannot be updated JF4/JF3.

I'm on a TMobile (UK) supplied device, unrooted, as supplied. Could I use the key combo to override and upgrade? Any potential issues if I did?

Thanks...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAMBO04:
Yeah, dude you really need to search before you make a thread :) the FAQ is extremely detailed and for all new owners of the SGS, so go to that thread mate and it has it all.

But, the CODE file goes into the PDA slot, the MODEM file goes into the PHONE slot and the CSC file goes into the CSC slot ;) you need the 512.pit file too which goes into the PIT slot. Then once flashed, connect your phone via mass storage and copy the SamSet ROM to the Phone memory, rename it update.zip, disconnect, and turn your phone off. Then do the 3 button combo (up+home+power) and leave the power button once you see the Galaxy S screen but keep holding the home button and power button. Then in the boot screen go down by using the vol button and press the 'flash update.zip' and you are DONE!

I still have the stock build I can restore through recovery and then do > Privacy settings > Factory Data reset. Would that be all I need to do?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ommadawn:
I posted this query in the unrevoked thread, but it's probably better here:

I rooted my 2.1 Telstra branded Desire with unrevoked, so easy. Now, I want to flash Froyo using the original OpenDesire rom.

I also want better A2SD, so I need to partition my SD card. I installed ROM Manager to do the partitioning, but it complains that I don't have Clockwork recovery installed, even though it was installed by unrevoked. What do I do here? Is it okay to have ROM Manager reinstall Clockwork? Will this break anything?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
unrEVOked installs the recovery to your recovery partition on the phone. Rom manager installs it on the SD card, 2 totally different things. So it's fine to install it.

I have seen a few posts where people have had bother with running 2 recoveries, so if I were you I'd choose one and stick to it.

I personally used unrEVOked to permanently flash amonra's recovery to the phone. I think it's the best by far. You can do a lot more with it and it's better looking.

First of all, if you'd actually *searched* before posting, you'd have found that this question get asked on a weekly basis, and the answer is always the same.

That being said, if you are not due an upgrade until the end of the year, why not wait until the end of the year before looking? The Desire will have been superseded by then, and Windows Mobile 7 phones will be out.

Hi there,

its maybe a stupid question, but what the hell...

..when you update your sofware. from 1.6 to 2.1 or 2.1 to 2.2

do you have to root your device again? or does it stay rootted?

and do you also have to reinstall all your files again or not?

thanks :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kryo_genik:
I was wondering something similar. I was wondering that if I root my Vibrant now, will I have problems when t-mobile pushes the 2.2 update?

If I wont ill root my phone, if i will ill leave it alone until the 2.2 push
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
If you are already rooted and updating the ROM version, you will NOT loose root. As long as you keep with the custom built ROMs, you'll stay rooted.

If the ROM requires a wipe, then you will loose all your files. There are ROMs that are no-wipe, which allow you to upgrade to the newer version without having to reset your phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
Do NOT download the T-Mobile 2.2 update if you receive it on your phone. You'll more than likely loose root.

Either download the custom built ROM (not sure if the Vibrant has) or stick with your current version.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Van Dutch:
I'm not 100% but I think everyone who did the OTA update to 2.2 are now finding that all the rooting tutorials are for 2.1 and cannot root until updated tutorials make their way out. With that said, I would root now while you're still on 2.1 and completely avoid your stock OTA 2.2 update. You'll be able to still update to 2.2 but it will be on a custom rom... win-win.
