[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
can you get it into the RECOVERY MODE?

see wiki for details http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M

if you can, select the option to wipe out data, and wipe out cache

then reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] armrob:
if u flashed another firmware . wipe in recovery doesn't help.

I ' m in the same situation. I need a stock rom to flash so I can try and exchange my phone. I think the version is JG9 but can't seem to find it anywhere for download.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you can flash it to JG8 which is the same, you can find that at samsung-firmware.com
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
use Odin, to flash JG8 and make sure to select repartidion
[Galaxy S I9000 General] umar.ranjha:
as i have mentioned earlier. Thats what exactly i am doing. Phone still shows that it not able to write anything on /DATA folder.

Any other suggestions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that's odd...

did you play with the one click lag fix before this happened?

another thing you can try is to get into Recovery Mode, and select the option to wipe cache data, and wipe data

then one those are gone, see if Odin can work

some people also say to run Odin without any ROM file, to make it clear itself, not sure if that helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] umar.ranjha:
Well after some more digging things finally started to clear up a little bit. Check the logs before and suggestion will be appreciated:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwl1:
I've just got my 1st ever Android phone: Samsung Galaxy S...

Just getting the hang of it, but the Samsung original "TW Launcher" user interface isn't really that good.

I've not rooted my phone as I heard that Froyo is gonna be up for Samsung by the end of the month in Malaysia.

1. The phone functions interface is really not user friendly. Is there anyway to change the phone features?

2. How can I get Google Maps Navigation on my phone? Is it even available in Asia? If not, any free gps navi I can get?

3. How can I change the sms receive audio? In Samsung UI, I can only change the Notification tone, but how can I change SMS tone by itself?

4. Any recommendation for a good calender/planner? Default calender is not quite user friendly...

Thanks in advance...:o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shedra:
I have the same question, I just have my bell galaxy s unlock and brought back to Asia. All the local features are useless especially on the GPS and map function,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberazi:
Do a search in the forus about Gogle maps brut. Brut enables the googlemaps navigation in your phone alternativrly goto marketplace in your phone and look for papago x5.. its free now on trial u can try it out and see if it is good for u.. so far papago is the only gps sw that uses offline maps unlike google maps navigation which need to be connected to the internet to download maps.

for the natification tones try hancent sms .. u can play ard wit it to change the notifiacion tone for sms emails and so on...

Im usig launcher pro and adwlauncher.. to switch bewteen launcher u have to incstal home switcher.. so if u need to connect to Kies u cn use the home switcher to switch back to TW for it to connect as MTP device
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavinsoo:
1. Install LauncherPro. Best Home screen app http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.fede.launcher

When you plug your phone into your pc open phone and look for media file, drop your tones in there and select as normal, job done
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
The mail question first. Is there any way to configure the mail account so that it leaves a copy of the message on the pop server? I would like to be able to check mail from my other account on my hero but I don't want it to download the message from the pop server and then delete it from the server. That way I can retrieve the messages with my outlook program as well when I am at home. The only setting I saw about deleting mail from the server when sending.

And now to the other part. I have noticed over the last couple of months(it is getting worse) that when the phone is plugged in and I try to do anything involving the keyboard or pushing buttons my phone acts crazy regardless of whether it is plugged into the pc or the charger. Sometimes the screen freezes or the keys will have like a 30 second delay or it will just reboot itself. NO I am noticing that I am getting random reboots. Once when I was watching a video on the internet. Another time it rebooted while i was checking my mail. This is happening at least 3 or 4 times a week.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2582:
Go into the Mail program. From there, push menu, more, then settings. Click on send and receive, then uncheck Delete mail on server. That's the only setting I see.

As far as your phone acting crazy, try a different rom if you're rooted.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
Yeah I'd suggest a different ROM. What are you using now?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I have tried the Fresh 2.1, then 2.3.3 and it happened on both roms and I did do a factory reset between rom flashes. I am currently trying the cyanogen 6 rom. And eventhough I am not running app2sd I went ahead and replaced my sd card as well and that didn't stop the rebooting and random freezing.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jungoed:
Why im unable to change my bootscreen,even with adb push or the boot app changer, with adb it send the .zip and say ok and when i reboot i got the same bootscreen as usual and same with the app.

[Desire Themes and Apps] wilfried63:
With Froyo, bootscreen has change location. Now it's system/customize/resources. The problem is that you can't overwrite it, it's protected...... If anyone knows how to fix it .....
[Desire Themes and Apps] Cooperman_UK:
If your rooted download Root Explorer (£2.50) from the market, copy bootanimation.zip to SD card then move it to the correct folder using Root Explorer. (mine's is in /data/local) I'm using Pinky Desire v1.3 ROM

Have you been in recovery and mounted /data ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] snear:
Reboot into recovery,select partitions menu ,select mount system then push to /system/customize/resource

This worked for me
[Desire Themes and Apps] jungoed:
works once but cant change the one i push now lol
[Desire Themes and Apps] PhilDsT:
Have a look inside the file, some bootimages are flashable, some have to be pushed. And if the folder structure is wrong/old in the ones to flash it won't work - extract bootanimation.zip and push it.

[Desire Themes and Apps] jungoed:
yea and how we know its pushable or flashable bootscreens ...

anyway it has stuck my desire in the HTC bootscreen

will keep the actual bootscreen till someone can tell me how to

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Chad_Petree:
I didnt buy a screen shield because i was told the droid/milestone use gorilla glass which makes it almost impossible to scratch the screen , boy i was WRONG, my milestone has like 4 scratches, two are just visible when the screen is off so its ok , but the other two are VERY VISIBLE, they're almost staring me , when i use apps with white backgrounds such as the messaging app and the browser the scratches "leak light" , i've become obsessed :(

Theres nothing i can do know but to advise all of you to buy a screen protector :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TheSSJ:
Yes, and I can recommend the screen protectors from Martin Fields ;) The price is average, but it's like that thing is invisible...no touch screen sensibility problems, scratch resistant and light absorbing...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] OriGnalthinker:
The only phone I'm having which is scratch proof is the Nokia 8600 Luna. I've never saw another phone without scratches...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Chad_Petree:
you sure about that?im really concerced about screen sensibilty
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TheSSJ:
well, I don't want to sound like a sales representative, but I really have to admit that I didn't notice any change in touch sensibility (at least I didn't notice it)...I had a HTC Tattoo before and bought the screen protector from Martin Fields also for that one and there also was no change in sensibility...

it's only 0,2 mm thick by the way ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Braidonh:
Why, that's no thicker than a condom.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
Gorilla Glass doesn't sucks... The perception that it is un-scratchable sucks.

Unfortunately this thing is poorly market and no one makes any effort to properly tell you that, altough Gorilla Glass is really harder and really much more difficult to scratch, it is easily scratched by diamonds (well, that is life, diamonds are harder than almost anything) and quartz (which is commonly found on dust and sand). Usually scratches come from friction from jewels with the screen or friction of dust/sand in your pockets or something else with the screen. I can tell you that I take care to not store my phone in dusty places or places where jewels are nearby, and never had any scratch on it, it has even fallen once or twice, screen down.

Mutch better than, per say, my old Nokia E51 (which I love BTW), that had scratchs of just taking it off my pocket and putting it on my pocket...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thre3aces:
The main selling point of gorilla glass is its strength, it's really hard to break : It is hard to SMASH AND CRACK. the scratch resistant is just a marketing scheme.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] xqzu:
I've never used any type of screen protection and not a scratch. It goes in my pockets dropped it a few times all good. A few nicks on the edges but glass is fine. Gorilla Glass rox!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rondadon:
This "Its awesome Gorilla Glass, dude! No Scratches and cracks never ever" is only marketing. There is every time a way to scratch and break this thingy.

THe first thing I am doing after purchasing a Gadget with a screen like Handhelds or Smartphones is to apply a really top quality Screen Protector. I have a screen protector on my Motorola Milestone and I am really glad that Ive done that.

So, don't trust always the adverts.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] BoyBawang2:
Not me. I will never buy a screen protector. All my phones never had one but all of them looks good as new. If you put your phone in your pocket, Never put anything else and it will be fine.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] justanordinarydude:
well i use quite cheap screen protector since a few months, before that, nothing happend to my screen either, but i thought it could be good to make sure it stays like that.

c'mon nothing is indestructible.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] stackingreasyBBs:
I used a screen protector religiously on my old Nokia phone, but my Milestone gets beat up every day with no protector and still looks good. At this point, I would consider Gorilla Glass a plus on the spec sheet, but not necessarily a guarantee that the screen is indestructible. Can't hurt, though.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mikeszf:
My phone have for some reason only mini scratches, you can only see them with the right light angle, for somehow it cant get big scratches, I tried on a corner ofcourse :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] david33316:
Gorilla Glass

I think gorilla glass is a joke. The first day I had my Motorola Photon, I dropped it and the screen broke in a hundred pieces. Had to get a new one and I promised myself I would be careful.. Didn't install a screen saver because I thought the glass would be like a ceramic crystal on a watch. Well, after three scratches on my glass, I decided to put a screen saver on. AS far as I'm concerned gorilla glass only has one good property. That is it's name. For corning to put their name on this product is a joke. Steve:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] LASuxs:
I think they basically trying to scam us with this new gorilla glass 2 crap. It's less glass but supposedly stronger or same strength. Thats bull since my Samsung Epic (Galaxy SI) has been repeatedly dropped on concrete face down, even gone flying on a few occasions and not even a scratch on the screen. Now i'm seeing that the mildest drop on the S3 completely shatters the screen
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hizperion:
i don't know, but i've been using Milestone for more than a year without screen protector. no scratch at all even i've been keeping it in my pocket with coins and keys. i even gave it to my kids to play with.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] moqwai.:
same here, 2 years old, not a single cratch. So the glass is very durable
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] low saturn:
Gorilla glass is awesome. I've had my Droid since December of 2009. From then until September of 2011 when not in use or on the charger every night, it was in my left pocket with keys or loose change. Not a scratch. When I got my Bionic in September I gave my Droid to my 9 year old son to use as a toy to watch movies and play games. Still, not a single scratch. Other than the gold paint that has flaked off the camera button, it still looks like it did when I unboxed it that first day.

Id post a picture, but apparently I don't have enough posts
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shimp208:
Keep in mind that the S3 is a far slimmer and sleeker device than the droid is the extra thickness makes it more durable. I have dropped my phone skiing and accidentally face first on concrete .... not a scratch on the screen

Firmware update

Thanks all...I've managed to install Kies. Now it says there's a firmware my Galaxy needs updating, but as I go down the procedure, it says it cannot update as it needs 1000Mb space...my phone still has 1.6G available..what's happening? In any case, this Kies sucks BIG TIME!!
[Touch2 General] daudikava:
Hi Guys,

i am having issues with phonebak anti theft, installed the application, tried to register it with a keygen but the unlock code will not work since the IMEI on my phone is 17 digits and not the original 15, searched everywhere for solutions but haven't got one, i need the application (BAK2u PhoneBAK Anti Theft.v2.0) to read the original IMEI other than the 17 digits.

Anybody having the application and having it registered will be of great help to me as this is the application that could help me recover my toy in case it ever gets stolen.

Thanks
[Touch2 General] radurus:
try without last two digits of IMEI.

I had a similar situation when gave my IMEI for sim unlock. Only 15 digits were requested and I had 17.

hope I'm not wrong but worth a try.
[Touch2 General] daudikava:
Thanks Radurus for your interest, thing is this application reads the IMEI the way it is so it reads the whole 17 digits and the keygen only accepts 15 digits.
[Touch2 General] daudikava:
i failed to get this to work out, so i bought the full appliaction
[Captivate General] cerowand:
On the Captivate by the ear piece there are 2 little, well I don't know what they are look like maybe LED or sensors. Can anyone tell me what these are? :confused:
[Captivate General] Shyotl:
One is a light sensor so the phone can dynamically adjust the brightness of the screen depending on the lighting conditions in the room.

The other is a proximity sensor that prevents accidentally pressing buttons while the phone is being held to your ear.

There ya go.
[Captivate General] cerowand:
"smacks head"

I should have guessed that.

hi there i rooted my fone a couple of mins ago using the exploid method (026), it was a great success.., lemme go back to my question.., how can i clean up the apps that i don't need.,

in bin4ry's method (024) on step2 folder there's a file called cleanup.cmd i just have to edit it and run it.., it will remove all the unnecessary apps like the moxiersh*t on my (024) x10i..,

but when i used bin4ry's cleanup.cmd on my (026) is says "mount: operation not permitted"

i know they have different sources, but can somebody help me cleaning up my 026x10i?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laurence0609:
Did you use the donate or free version of Titanium Backup? I have installed the free version but i still could not figure out how to delete or uninstall unwanted programs. Care to share how you did it? Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jameslewis:
long press the app u want 2 delete
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bryanvincent:
nooo i dont need titanium backup.., what i said is.., the CMD(command) file in the root that can cleanup the apps using the computer not the phone itself..,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
Jus use the cleanup file.. don't mount your usb, make sure usb debugging is on n c what happens!

as for titanium backup, there's nothing wrong with it.. does the job!! plus the full version can b used to freeze apps to c how the rest of your phone would react if u had actually uninstalled it!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ang3losqws:
hi i still can't delete from titanium(free version).it doesn't give me an option to delete.

and from the cleanup file it tells me rm failed.red-only file system

yet the apps are still there!!(moxier,quadrapop etc.)

am i doing something wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
Download busybox of market and c if that confirms your root privileges..

if so then go into titanium n try your luck again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
use exploid 1.08, once rooted again, open exploid app again, click unsecure shell, rerun the cleanup cmd. u should now be read/write mounted...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Make sure you edit the cleanup.cmd so it doesn't remove stuff you might need or want to keep.

You just tap the app, as long pressing gives you a different menu.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ang3losqws:
yes, thanks, everything ok, cause in another post it said longpress that's why i couldn't see it.yet there's another problem.i uninstall creatouch yet it keeps on showing up in apps and menu...why is that?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
If I remember correctly, what I did was uninstall it with TB, then using roorexplorer navigate to data/app and remove the apk, then went to app-private and removed it from there too.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ang3losqws:
thanks man, finally got rid of it!

my carrier allowed me to send unlimited text so yeah lol :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
Well here it costs 9.9c per SMS, and 50c for a mms, so really it should be changing it after 5 messages. :P
