now that the wake lag is fixed, i can move to spend more time looking into it

Hello :)

YAFFS2 is designed for MTD devices (ie : RAW Flash).

The Galaxy S use Samsung's "MoviNAND™".

Like it's described in their product page, this product has "Simple read/write memory using industry-standard MMC 4.3 interface"

This mean that you access it like a standard SD card reader, and not like a RAW Flash, which is required for YAFFS2.

This is why we must use a standard "hard drive" filesystem on it (ext4, btrfs... etc)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
We learn every day :)

Thanks for pointing this out.

I really had no clue in terms of storage architecture on SGS... Nor other devices.

As far I understand we got 2 partitions on one chip, one for ? and second mounted as /sdcard.

So this (any android? most androids?) device have normal "NAND/user accessible" partition instead of conventional "ROM"?

That is why u can make "ROM" EXT2? :D

That was not the case in Symbian v5 devices where ROM (Z:\) was only accessible by a flash procedure.

Catching up xD

Hey,

Attached is the zipped MBR for a T-Mobile Vibrant variant of the Galaxy S. It came with the Sims3 and Avatar, as I know you were looking for a model that had that. I am using a loopback EXT4 partition on /data at the moment, just FYI.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks to zimphishmonger I've been able to find in details which were differences in t-mobile Vibrant.

And there are some.. quite critical to how my fix work.

I'm a bit angry at Samsung... or t-mobile right now... putting a lot of diffs in the initialization process for just 1 game preinstalled is really crappy.. Damn ugly :(

I haven't found how to make things cleanly right now for every phone including this one
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
Ok I got an idea.. it won't be a problem anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Btw no need to be specific about the tmobile vibrant vs the bell vibrant, they have difrent names, this are as follow:

Samsung Vibrant= US tmobile version of the galaxy S family.

Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant= Bell Canada version of the galaxy S family.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faw88:
Its not hardware

The Problem is not HARDWARE RELATED. i had the exact same problem and suffered for almost a month. there is NO definitive answer on google. ive searched and searched. ive done EVERYTHING from reseating the memory card to flashing weird kernels to applying pressure on the camera. BUT in the end the solution was very easy.

Solution : REVERT YOUR FIRMWARE TO FRF91. TOTAL STOCK and UNROOTED. it installs an old radio version and im almost certain the problem was due to the Radio version . i used AMON RA's latest recovery to do so. wipe EVERYTHING 3 times. and flash the zip. also.. you need to be rooted at first to install the recovery from terminal. if you're new to this recovery/flashing roms.. google it. its fairly simple.

this worked for me miraculously and i do hope it works for you all . :)

happy to help.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
I know that when you have apps2sd on a 2.1 Rom and then flash to a froyo one, it'll tell you to reformat your SD to fat32 with no partitions. You said you didn't have apps2sd tho, so that's kinda troubling. When you mount your phone to your computer does the SD come up?

[Droid 2 General] DBISGOD:
I factory reset my phone and tried a different google profile, finally I tried wep 64 and was able to connect and router, if I use wpa2 it will not route, anyone else having that same issue should I take it to a verizon store? Just did some more research looks like it has problems like the droid x where you have you use wpa instead of wpa2, not very happy with this at least I get 3g in my apartment, wonder if it will ever get fixed though.
[Droid 2 General] DanteDrac:
Using WPA2 here with no issues. Might be your router? Try to update your routers firmware for kicks and giggles.
[Droid 2 General] DBISGOD:
It's up to date, everything I have been reading through google searches says it doesn't support AES only TKIP.
[Droid 2 General] DanteDrac:
Not sure then man. I have mine working just fine via AES here.
[Droid 2 General] DBISGOD:
Are you sure? My router works with both and if I set it to AES only it stops working and won't route, now I have it set to work with both and it works.
[G1 General] Moe29:
So I bricked my G1 yesterday ( bad bad me ) :(

Maybe it's time for a new phone, but I can't find a good alternative so far

If I can't I'll just buy another old one

The things I liked about the G1 ( beside android ofcourse )

1- Keyboard

Keyboard, I do alot of typing and remote shell connection, so a touch screen keyboard doesn't do it for me

The G1 keyboard was really ideal for this

2- Availability of Roms

3- GPS that would work even without network connection , not assisted gps

4- Compass

Things I didn't like but was surviving with

1- Speeeeeed

2- Memory size

3- Camera and Flash

Any suggestions on what phone to get after a good old G1 ?

My touch slide seems like a good alternative,

Has anyone tried it, any feedback ?

Any other suggestions ?
[G1 General] funkeee:
How about the G2? It seems like a fitting successor. The design is not so grand in my opinion, but it should be a top of the line handset. I am a keyboard only type of guy. I am in love with the Epic 4g styling. I like the Touch Pro 2 in terms of design. However the iffy state of Android on the TP2 is a put-off. Stay tuned for the G2. It's going to be a big phone in terms of technology and T-Mobiles hop into HSPA.

http://www.engadget.com/tag/g2/

Or if you want a G1, some fella started a thread in this forum selling his.
[G1 General] maxomus:
I love the G1 & just recently stopped using one, tmobs phone selection as far as to android devices is pretty mediocre in comparison to others, so when time came I dumped then & got an evo... I was a big stickler on the keyboard as well, but an onscreen keyboard on a 4.3 screen isn't so bad, but I do miss the feel of an actual keyboard, you kinda get to know it by touch. But gps, compass all that stuff is pretty much standard android, check out the epic if your looking to jump I think that's qwerty & should be a sweet phone & as far as roms, pretty much if they have rooted the device your gonna find a slew of roms to follow...but if your sticking with tmob then I would just browse there devices forums here to see which seem to have the most support, after having a G1 forever, I had to go get me a suped (?) Up android phone and tmob didn't cut it, I think that samsung phone is there only 1g phone & i don't believe that has a keyboard though... At any rate good luck, heh, if you stick with anything android after the G1 you can't really go wrong anyway.

[G1 General] Moe29:
funkeee

Yeah, G2 looks very interesting, but it's not out yet, and frankly I'm not the 'latest and greatest' type, I prefer to wait untill a new product gets in the market for a few month and stabilizes in terms of price and performance

maxomus

Thanks for the epic tip, will look into it
[G1 General] Moe29:
hhmm, found out the Epic is not out yet as well, looks very interesting though
[G1 General] androidcues:
You'd be broke if you were always getting that latest and greatest.

But the G2 -- IMHO and I am a devout TMobile customer, Did the whole Sidekick line (moved to Android/G1 like 4 weeks before we found out TMobile was not working on a new Sidekick and 4 months before they announced the Sidekick was dead!) TMo knows has secured its immaculate position in Android history as the first carrier on Android. I recall analysts predicting Tmo would miserably fail if not go bankrupt/buyout with the Android platform. How wrong they were!

The HTC Dream is the first phone ever on Android. Its successor, the HTC Vision is quite fitting ---- you cannot really have a Vision without first having a Dream.... (actually its impossible to visualize something without first provoking a dream to correspond to said vision) TMO's pathetic compatitors, Verizon/Sprint and even ATT (yes even ATT!) have had glory days this year, but TMO is about to re-emerge with the next GREAT phone --- the HTC Vision/G2.

G2 probably will never end up being the third Android Developer Phone because the Nexus One probably will still be able to matriculate anything the G2 does.... but what the N1 cannot do, that the G2 may be able to do is dual core processor!!! Ive never ran WinMo before, (spend too much time on Windows anyway) but if the G2 is in fact capable, it will be fun to pwn Ballmer)

In short --- and with the big picture in mind, and the fact that the G2 is the first HDSPA phone which will also be a World Phone and that it has a keyboard adds up to something simple -- the G2 is going to be the BOMB!!!

What is really on my mind that I do not understand is... Danger's Sidekick.... which is now proprietary Microsoft, that was created by Andy Rubin (VP Engineering Android) and HTC are working on... something freaky... the rebirth of the SideDroid. A microsoft phone which can possibly intra-dual-core (both boots runnning simultaneously and in tandem, if not comprehensively and intermingly.... do we do Bing orr do we do Google? or Bing? Google?

Bring it.
[G1 General] Moe29:
androidcues

I agree, G2 will probably be a big hit

but I need a phone now

I think I might just settle for another used G1 for a few months untill G2, Epic are out there in a good price point

wanna send me one of the several one's you have as a birthday gift ;)
[G1 General] aninja11:
It cool they are coming with the G2...I hope it has an 1GHZ Processor.

But if mobile carrier is not a prefernce, the Droid is a good smartphone/w a physical keyboard. The reason I won't get one b/c I don't particularly care for Verizon and I like GSM phones.
[G1 General] maxppp:
I loved the G1 because of its clean and simple design.

Do not like the look of the G2 at all.

The Motorola droid x is the best looking device out there at the moment, although apparently the packaged software is dire and motorola have added preventative measures to stop people flashing non-motorola-approved roms.

As a result I would be looking at the Nexus one if i had to choose today. Its restriction free, will have barely no carrier 'fluff' integrated into the rom, and will be supported for a long time.
[G1 General] Krician:
Wait....Isn't G2 the Hero? o.O I'm confused. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPkeXZbaw3Q&feature=related

[EDIT]

Never mind. I found Its nickname "Vision"
[G1 General] idinga:
I agree with most of what you said. I got a text from T-Mobile this morning saying the G2 was coming. So I get on the net to check out their own website, it wasn't working. So I search the net to find out anything about it and doesn't appear to be much better. They've increased the megapixels on the camera but only to a 5 when a number of phone have an 8. Also disappointed that there's no flash. Impressed that the screen will be bigger and I'm okay to part with the keyboard as long as the on-screen keyboard is accurate. I've loved my G1 but have recently become very disappointed with the number of apps I'm UNable to download because I run out of memory. If that issue is fixed on the G2 I'll be happy. I've been contemplated ridding myself of T-Mobile only because of the lack of great phones. I have no complaint with service or customer service but would like to see some better phones. I was all about getting and HD2 until I realized it was not carrying the android market. I would like to see more from T-Mobile.

Which ever one comes out first.And im not selling the slide cause its bad or anything, just want something that will last 2yrs. Dont get me wrong the phone is incredible, everything opens so quickly and smoothly all the time. Battery life is good for me too,and i love the design...but i want a phone that will lack support, which i feel this will have too.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyrus221:
As title says, is there any way to determine this? My phone did something weird during the process, and I'm not sure if I want to try it again if it already took; if it didnt take, then I'll just try again or something. Let me know!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
Couple of ways:

1. Go to a Windows Command Prompt where you can issue adb commands.

Type:

adb remount

if you get an error to the effect of permission denied, it didn't work.

2. Shutdown your phone. Hold down the Volume Down button while holding the power button until the bootloader screen comes up. If your HBOOT version is anything other than 0.76.2000, it didn't work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyrus221:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asesino:
Unrvoked does not unlock Nand so why don't u try Simple Root,3 easy steps and u'll be done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
unrEVOked 3 FTW

unrEVOked 3 does unlock NAND and gives you full root.

unrEVOked Forever, well gives you root access forever.

unrEVOked 3 will not mess with your PRI either, if you run Simple Root it will downgrade the PRI to an older version, and it's a pain in the arse to get the Sprint/HTC FOTA to work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spokenblurb:
So back when 2.2 was announced it was said to have UMA and tethering built in,both of which are important to me ( and yes know you can tether now) but i haven't heard much about it since I'm afraid that there won't be any UMA which I need the most because I travel allot any insights updates hope :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungGalaxySVibrant:
If UMA was that important to you, then you should have gotten the Bold 9700. Vibrant won't have UMA.

From what you describe, needing UMA and traveling a lot, I'm guessing you are some sort of corporate professional. Seems like you got the wrong phone, you needed to stick with Blackberry.

Now 50 people are going to scream at me and tell me how wrong I am.

Sorry, but Android and iPhone is essentially a toy. If you are a corporate professional you need to be using Blackberry.

Okay let all the Android Fanboys start screaming at me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane_pcs:
Uma is different that voice over wifi, as uma supports handovers between the networks. But voice over wifi Is what most people NEED. And I'm pretty sure it will be in the vibrant version of 2.2. It will be in the form of a wifi calling app.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drhonk:
hehe .. that maybe true a year ago, but both iphone and android have come a long way to provide corporate professional needs. But don't call Android a toy .. haha .. maybe true for iphone (sorry iphone fanboys) :D :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremyNT:
Assuming you don't need to use your actual T-Mobile line, you could get a SIP number.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsvnet:
WiFi calling app would be excellent, but what about texts?

I've always felt that UMA was something that could probably be emulated with the right software.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bugdog:
Seems like it, right? I would pay for it if there's a dev who can do it. AFAIK, texts would work no problem - never had a problem sending texts when using UMA on my old blackberry.

As for the SIP option - if I need to get a different phone #, it seems to defeat the purpose. I'm hoping to replicate my blackberry experience, if possible. May have to try SIP though, who knows!

I am not sure what you meant by UMA. But i know that our phone Samsung Vibrant was shipped with APV or APV Mobile application (hotspot built in the phone). Tmobile modified it.
