When i'm driving in the car, i can hear the other person just fine, but i've been getting some complaints that my voice is almost inaudible at times. Has anyone else heard anything like this?

I have a pretty loud car, so i'm thinking that perhaps the phone is picking up the background noise... but i've never had this problem with any of my previous phones...

just realized there is another thread about this issue. sorry for the duplicate thread.

I am seeking the help/advice of the many knowledgeable members of XDA to help me understand and hopefully resolve an issue that I'm having with my rooted HTC Dream. The issue is with mms, I don't seem to be able to send or receive. I've only tried send/receive pics. I don't believe that it is a rooting problem so much as an unlocking issue since my son's unlocked/unrooted Dream has the same issue. The phones are both Rogers branded unlocked and both on Telus network. I have checked double checked & triple checked the APN settings and all appear to be correct. I also have no problem with web browsing. Any assistance in understanding/resolving this issue will be appreciated.

What is the point of a nandroid backup?

Ive flashed many roms since coming here, and have backed up my Nandroid a few times, but I have no clue what the backups are to be used for.

Am I right in assuming that its a backup of all the internal memory? Such that say I was on Rom Y, I nandroid backup, then full wipe and flash Rom Z, if Z sucks I can just flash Y, and restore the backup and my phone is completely back to where it was before the process? Is that the purpose?

Ive finally gotten tired of setting up my homescreens/widgets/programs everytime I flash a new rom. So I wondered if Nandroid backups could help alleviate some of that.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
with the current lack of brain power to make a good joke at your topic line about young attractive nandroid backups, ill give you a straight answer.

Yes. your assumption on what they do is correct. however you cant use them to backup homescreen stuffs and move them to a new rom.

im not sure what you can use for that but theres probably something out there for that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massivebasset:
Thats why I post my grammatically terrible questions in the mornings!

Thanks for the response, I assumed a backup for Y wouldnt work for Z, but if it at least can get me back to Y seamlessly, thats something.

I use LauncherPro, which has a backup, titanium for programs, and apps organizer to make it as painless as possible, but theres still some annoyance in getting it all perfect (Widgets for instance dont really back up with Launcher Pro).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
the other purpose is as a fail safe. if something goes majorly wrong. you have a stable safe back up that will get you running again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
MyBackup from the market has the ability to save home screen settings. Combined with Titanium Backup, it is a great way to move apps and data to new ROMs. Just be sure to not restore system settings as that will screw up your new ROM.

So this thing just started within the past week. My phone's stock gmail app will show new emails so I look at them and then they are all read, showing 0 new.

But when I login to the web browser version, 5 minutes or even later(up to hours later), the web browser gmail is not updating to show that I already read the emails.

Anybody having similar problems? Any suggestions?

I'm on JH2.

[XPERIA X10 General] TrevvyD:
Hi guys,,, just bought myself a X10i to play with,,, figured I,ve flash the thing with a rom from the developers forum,

This is where I came unstuck,,,, cant for the life of me get it into flash mode.

Instructions were as follows

1 With fone OFF. Hold down back button and insert usb cable, green light comes on and hit enter. What bloody enter, on the fone or on your keyboard. I,ve tried both, fone just keeps on booting into the main screen, nothing even resembles a flash mode screen. Tried this untill my thumb nearly bled.

Someone help please.
[XPERIA X10 General] instigator008:
Read the tuts in the dev forum. P.S. no custom roms yet but there is root.
[XPERIA X10 General] Dr_Wolodya:
Try hold down "back button" without battery then insert USB cable and then insert battery.
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
When it says to hit enter, that is to continue from the screen (on the PC) that says "press any key to continue" when you are doing the steps for rooting. If you don't have that window ready the phone will only stay in flash mode for about 5 seconds and then it will continue to boot. So, just make sure you are ready with the PC before entering flash mode.
[XPERIA X10 General] kenziefc:
thanks!!

this really helps!

cannot enter the flash mode

Hi,

I know this post is pretty old, but still I'm struglig the second day now to get into flash mode and still no luck despite trying every method there is on the web.

I've got Xperia X10i mini pro, reinstalled standard ROM with PC companion just to make sure it's nothing with the software or any modifications I made to it.

I'm guiding myself with instruction given here:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide

in order to get my bootloader unlocked

what I've done so far:

-installed Android SDK incl. SDK Tools, SDK Platform-tools, Google USB driver package. Not installed any API from SDK.

-put android_winusb.inf (18 KB size) in C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver

-in general- everyting given here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows

command

adb devices

rerurns

List of devices attached
43423531315537465737 device

in my opinion meaning it works as it should.

So I turn the phone off, unplug the cable both from computer and the phone, take the abttery out, plug both end of USB cable where these should be, hold the Back button (tried with Volume up too) and put the battery in.

The result is it only goes into flash mode for several seconds (confirmed by SuperOneClisk log) and then goes into charging mode. nothing gets displayed on the screen. Only when PC Companion is on it detects it, than looses it and pops up with a window on how to properly connect the device... :/

So can someone please tell me what I do wrong?

Why it doesn't stay in flash mode?

PS. when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, after pressing the last * the numbers just disappear and nothing happens...

Pls help

Edit:

I somehow got around that with s1tool and Flashtool. But eventually I could not go along the way given at cyanogenmod.com and unlocked with the help of this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

Has anyone seen a utility that will estimate battery capacity?

You can measure the currrent draw and the battery level. So you should be able to roughly estimate the capacity. Yet I've never seen any software for this.

I need the SDK to this guy. It shouldn't be too hard to write.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wigout:
So when I unmount the sdcard (my ext3 partition), I get some functionality back.

I can open the Music program, though it won't play anything because it can't find anything.

I can open the Meridian Media Player and browse to the extra partition mounted elsewhere (I am fine with that as a solution, though it doesn't fit in with the purpose of the sdcard in the Android OS). I successfully played a movie back this way.

So, is the lack of a:

/data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external-####.db

that was causing the sdcard/partition media related errors?

How can I properly implement an after the fact sdcard? It seems at minimum I need a volume id number like a proper sdcard would have.... though how do I garner one from a partition?

Anyway, thanks for listening.

-wigout
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wigout:

Can you generate an external-####-sd.db after boot up? on the commandline?

Busybox and DNS

Hey wigout,

I'm interested in getting the sdcard mount writable too in android 2.1 on the hdx bone. I followed your instructions for telnet and latest busybox, but would like to get busybox's wget working so I can dl directly to the hdx. Busybox's ping/telnet/wget/you name it all complain of a bad address, while the native ping resolves domain names into ip addresses just fine (of course so does the browser in android...)

Any luck getting busybox to look up a dns server?

HEN
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HEN201:
sdcard problems

I worked around my dns issue but not in an elegant way. Next step was the /sdcard dir... symlinked it to /data/sdcard (file flags writeable) but no luck. Google specs say that the directory can be a symlink to writeable storage, but:

"Device implementations MUST enforce as documented the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on this shared storage. Shared storage MUST otherwise be writable by any application that obtains that permission. "

Somewhere in android guts this permission needs to bet set. You may have figured that out.

btw got Connectbot working -- it's a great ssh client app.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
Looking through the forums it seems that many people cannot upgrade the firmware on the SGS after flashing with ODIN/using a firmware from samsung-firmware.com

Hence my questions:

1. Has anyone been able to upgrade to the new offical firmware JM1 after having flashed the phone with ODIN?

2. If so, which firmware were you running before the Flash, in particular which CODE, CSC and MODEM?

3. Which country have you been able to upgrade from?

4. Which country did you buy the phone in?

5. Is your phone rooted?

6. Do you have a branded or unbranded phone and 8 or 16GB?

7. If you could not upgrade, which error did you get?

Hopefully we can find some answer and discover where the problem that people cannot upgrade originates

In my case:

1. I have not

2. JF3 from Samsung Firmwares

3. Tried from South Africa - failure

4. Germany

5. Yes

6. Unbranded 8GB

7. This version cannot be updated

I have a few suspicions:

1. Cannot upgrade at all after using odin

2. I9000XXJF3 for download is not the same as stock

3. The location where you connect from matters/only UK (and some others) can upgrade

4. You can only upgrade UK phones with UK firmware (different origin identified through IMEI)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
I suspect its Geotaged someway as I managed to flash after I reflashed back to stock via odin in the UK.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] simion_levi:
Just to keep a running record and encourage other replies;

My O2 8GB version did not allow this, but may have to try again if others have really had success!

I am in the UK

It is an unlocked UK handset - though original fw-CSC code is linked to O2 rather than generic

Kies was installed as a 'UK' user

I tried with stock JF1 fw that came on the phone (though had rooted to enable a backup first) - nothing via Kies

I then flashed XXJF3 downloaded from Samsung-fw via Odin (OXA CSC file), but still no luck with Kies update

Is your handset Voda UK? So 16GB? That is one difference if so, though I would hope not really of significance. What fw were you on before flashing to XXJF3 - the stock Voda or other, also applied over Odin? Did you download the file from Samsung-firmwares, or source it elsewhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
My phone came from Vodaphone 16gb Unlocked near enough day of release FW JF3 and CSC XAJF3.

I had rooted it, but wanted to unroot it so I downloaded the JF3 from samsung firmware but since the Froyo build was out I tried that didnt like it (to unstable) so flashed back to JF3 using the XA csc file
[Galaxy S I9000 General] simion_levi:
Thanks - one thought I've just had - I would have been on existing partition when using JF1 and when flashing to JF3 (believe this is 513.pit?) When I gave up and moved on with other Odin files (currently JG5) I changed to 512.pit, as required. You must have done the same to go to Froyo.

Question is, did you then re-partition back with 513 PIT file when flashing XXJF3 or did you leave it? I wonder if a 512 partition on the JF3 fw makes any difference to Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
I used 513 and repartition to go back to JF3 and upgrade did not work...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
To be honest I didnt click repartition on odin, that may have accounted for my bad experiance with Froyo.

What if its a hidden partition thats getting erased?

I got the same problem as you lot.

1. No, I flashed to JG5 via ODIN

2. I was running the stock Vodafone JF3

3. Can't upgrade

4. UK

5. Yes it is rooted

6. It was 16GB version from Vodafone but no Vodafone branded stuff

7. This version could not be updated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Greg82uk:
Right... have done as you suggested, using the kies version and JF3 and the correct csc... but am having no joy... did you use the 513 pit file as I've tested using 512 and as I say with no joy... :oS Also in the 'old' version of Kies, when one pushes ctrl alt u and p it doesn't tell me it's in test mode as it did with the latest two versions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] simion_levi:
I installed 1.5.0.10052_28 last night but had no access to the 'test mode' - this under Win 7 x64. The key combo brings this up in all later Kies versions I have been through, both on Win7 x64 and XP x86, but not this particular one.

Can you clarify some points to help narrow down variables?

Which O/S did you succeed under? And x64 or x32?

You had a previous Kies version on, or was this a completely fresh install on a machine that had never seen Kies before?

Obviously this needs to be done whilst offering sacrifice and doing the ritualistic Kies dance, so which leg were you hopping on and was she blonde or brunette?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] simion_levi:
Glad it's not just me then :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frozen199:
1. Never used Odin, or ever installed a different firmware. I was successful in upgrading through Kies.

2. Stock UK firmware from June 2010

3. England - UK

4. England (Sim Free/Unlocked)

5. No

6. Unbranded 8GB

7. When upgrading, I got several errors the main one was "Unable to go into download mode". I recovered the phone and flashed straight to the new JM1 through Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
A fresh KIES install on a x84 machine which had never seen KIES before. I used 513 pit
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
Use 1.5.0.10052_28, this definately has test mode. use left ctr and alt
[Galaxy S I9000 General] simion_levi:
That's the version I tried, though I was in a x64 environment and had installed on a machine that had previously had ver .83 (and earlier ones too).

Though I am bound to regret it afterwards, I may spend tonight doing a proper clean of an x86 machine and then trying a fresh .10052_28 install on that. I will also try with 513.pit repartition when I flash to XXJF3.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Greg82uk:
Samsung Firmwares only has 1.5.0.10052_25 not 28... this could be the issues I suppose... don't suppose you know of somewhere to get 28?!?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Greg82uk:
I'm giving up, I've tried the pit 513 and 2 with JF3 firmware, even attempted putting my phone in to download/recovery modes to connect it to old kies... but still nothing. So I'm giving up and reflashing to JM2... I've had no joy here on my o2 8gb handset. I'll keep an eye on this thread though as I would like to return to a more official firmware following my haste to overwrite the o2 one that came with the phone!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tim182:
The problem might be that it is an O2 handset... Mine was unlocked
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hiraj_panosian:
heey OP,

I manage to get into the testmode, but nothing changes, the only thing what I see is a box with TEST MODE ON it doesnt give me the oppertunity to upgrade to jm1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markyboy_75:
Me like greg82uk had the same problem upgrading an o2 handset. I've given up for the time being until froyo is released. However does anyone have the official o2 rom , as I would like to revert back to this. Unfortunately I didn't back up rom before flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
I had successfully upgraded my rooted JF3 to JM1 when it came out. Now I just tried this test mode thing, and it's giving me JM3 !! :) (Latest Version: PDA:JM3 / PHONE: JM3)

I think I'll wait a bit for Froyo though, JM3 can't be much better than JM1...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rain_1:
Sup everybody.

Sorry to barge that way on this thread, but I think it's the best one to do it?

Either tomorrow or early next week I'm receiving my UK International Unlocked i9000 (or so I've been told). Since there's all this issue about firmware-flashed i9000's not updating because some parts of some firmware may or may not be international unlocked "for realz", I had an idea.

Since I'm getting mine "virgin", would you people want a complete dump of the firmware as it comes out of the box? This is my first Smartphone ever, so i'm not sure which application it would require for me to perform this image. I'm pretty sure Rooting will be necessary, but that's no problem.

So, let me know what you guys need (and most importantly, how to do it) and I'll try to provide. would also help me to keep a "safe" firmware to revert to when needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
I got this device cannot be updated error after a factory reset after flashing to JM1 via Kies.

Well after a bit of searching the registry I deleted subfolders below

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB

e.g. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\1

Connected phone to USB started Kies then firmware update and now i'm back to showing latest firmware is installed instead of This device cannot be updated.

This was without test mode activated

This might fix it for some people with non operator locked phones.

I have ringtones on my internal sdcard and have different things setup to use them. I use Auto Mount on my Captivate so that I can use my phone as a usb drive on my car radio without fussing with the "Mount Card" in order to use it.

My issue is, with the internal sdcard mounted, ringtones and the such don't work for obvious reasons.

My question is, is there a way to mount either the internal or external sdcard and leave the other unmounted from "USB mass storage" mode? Or can I maybe just copy my ringtones over to the root the phone rather than the sdcard?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tribalartgod:
Use the "Dual Mount SD" widget. Should fix this issue completely. Dual Mount should also "auto mount" as well, so you can kill your other program.
