[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ancient_One:
1. If the phone is turned off then remove the SD card, the SIM card and the battery.

2. Put the battery in only then enter Download mode. Hold in vol down and Home buttons then press the power button. Works every time.

3. OPTUS is currently using I9000DTJG4 available here

4. Set up ODIN with the correct files. PIT 512 and the code file called ADD_OPS.tar from the download.

5. Select Re-Partition.

6. Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable. Wait for com to come up in ODIN.

7. Flash the Aussie firmware.

Wish you luck my friend.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ososos:
no no no... i CANNOT OPEN SGS AT ANY MODE..

It seems sgs don't have the battery... i cannot charge the phone ..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
ososos, unfortunately it sounds like a full brick to me. I think there have been about 5 occurrences of this (myself being one of them), one guy managed to get his to power on my holding home + volume down + power and inserting the battery whilst these buttons were being held.

However as a general rule if your phone won't even turn on you'll need to send your phone off for repair.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beyond_Godlike:
Hmmm try using some friend's battery if he too has SGS... Or try charging only the battery at optus.. GL mate..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demroger:
Ok, so i keep getting this problem with my hd2, i tried flashing different radios & roms but no help.

its hard explaining the problem so here it is what happens:

sometimes the phone dont sleep, if i press the power button it just goes to lock, but the screen wont go off, while dis happens when i try changing the brightness, the "on battery brightness" dont change the brightness, but the "on external power brightness" changes the brightness, but the phone is not connected to anything.

when i finally connect my hd2 to my laptop or to charge and take da cable out den its perfect, it works normally:confused:

please help :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
the phone thinks it is connected to an external power source. similar sounding to the "stuck in car kit mode" bug. probably a faulty usb port.

had to send mine back for a new mainboard.

any other symptoms? loudspeaker auto activating when you make/take a call? phone pad screen auto rotating?

youusing the original cable?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demroger:
No the loudspeaker don't turn on automatically, no rotation problems and yes im using the original cable.
[Wildfire General] pupadi:
I'm looking for an android phone for my wife (she's been using a SE earlier) shortlisted these two phones to have the required features. Now I'm in a dilemma to choose which one to go for. I'm looking for following features -

* Good Camera (at least it should be good for photos)

* Music and FM (mostly MP3s)

* Usability (UI, speed, hangs, any other short comings)

* Application availability and usability ('m ready to root it though)

* GPS and Wifi (for maps and app download, rarely used for browsing)

* Bluetooth (file transfer)

* Standard Ports (3.5MM for Audio and USB for Charging and Data)

* Android Support (Current version and future releases)

all your inputs are highly appreciated..

(Also, 'm wondering should I wait till Xperia X8 released, arrrghhh.. :confused:)

PS: 'm posting another thread in X10 Mini forum too, just to get their opinion :p
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
In my opinion the x10 mini is too small.I The camera on the wildfire is good at stills but rubbish at video. UI wise I think that sence is better but the wildfire is slower

The x10 runs 1.6 and is going to get 2.1 around September whilst the wildfire runs 2.1 and is going to get 2.2 in september
[Wildfire General] pupadi:
Thanks brilldoctor.
[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
That's ok
[Wildfire General] stunno:
I have a Touch Pro 2 at the moment and am looking for something smaller (which is basically any phone but the Dell Streak (its MASSIVE)) and also fancy giving Android a go.

I couldn't find anywhere stocking the Legend, and the Desire is just as big as the TP2 if a bit thinner (and expensive!). So I went and had a play in the mobile phone shops today. Before I went I was concerned that the low resolution screen of the Wildfire would be a big drawback, but it wasn't. This may be down to my poor ageing eyes, in which case a higher resolution would be wasted anyway. But I do agree with the above poster that the X10 mini is too small, and I wasn't keen on the T9 on screen keypad for all text input.

If they had had a brown Wildfire I would have gone for one, the red looks a bit naff!
[Wildfire General] El_Nino9:
x10 mini has only 3 hour battery life for talk time LOL i mean what is the point of having a battery on an android device. imagine making calls, listening to music and surfing the net.

i was going to buy this for my gf as her old nokia is dead but put me off. have given her my G1 (classic) and we will both buy desire Z (htc vision) when it comes out later this year.

but wildfire out the 2 options you've given mate
[Galaxy S I9000 General] format:
I've been fighting with this feature and still didn't figured out the problem pattern.

Some calendars that I create online don't show up in the Samsung Calendar App.

I managed to export/import the events from the ones that don't show to the ones that show. But I would like to pinpoint this problem.

I installed another calendar app (Gemini) just to check. The app can show all the calendars unlike the samsung calendar app, but the events are still missing from those calendars that Samsung app hides.

Anybody experienced this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] format:
I just flashed to JM6 and tested this right away. The problem still exists.

Your Samsung Calendar app syncs flawlessly with Google Calendars?

What is happening? Nobody has this problem?

There is no setting that prevents the calendars to sync with the phone. What could be happening here?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] piya_m:
In calendar app, try Setting > Calendar and tick on your google account.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] format:
I wish it was that simple :)

Anyhow after scrubbing the web I found the solution. It's not that hard, now that I know how. This could be used for a lot of sync problems that have no apparent reason:

goto Settings > Accounts & sync > tap your gmail account > uncheck Sync Calendar

now,

goto Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > menu > Filter > all > Calendar > Clear data

back out to the Applications list and go into Calendar Storage > Clear data

This should wipe out everything in your calendar. Now go back into your gmail account and re-check Sync Calendar

Voilá!!!!! It works. I'm happy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndyCr15:
What a star!

I had this happen for the first time today, glad you sussed it for me :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
I have a question about the calendar app in 2.1 on the hero. If I have 2 google accounts with a personal calendar on one and a business calendar on the other account, I know that I can link both accounts to the phone so that I can sync the calendars down from google to the phone. So when you go to the calendars option in the calendar setting it shows 3 calendars, google personal, google work, and my calendar. The question is this. Is there any to create an appointment and have it only sync with the personal google calendar? Would I have to go to the calendar settings and uncheck the other 2, make the appointment and sync it and the check the other 2 again?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] runngwlf:
Yes, just use the top drop down menu when you add an event. By default it will only publish to one calendar, you just need to tell it which one. Personal you would use that calander, work, you select that one.

Hope that helps

edit: You can also go to the web calendar app and link your work calendar so you can "see" it on your personal one. Then when you use that google account on the phone the work calendar will appear in the "view calendar" menu. I do this for my wife's calendar and I can post to hers as well, I just have to tell the phone which calendar to add the event to when I create it, all from one google account.

I use ChunkyDroid Rom and shubCRAFT 1.4b.

I copied Jbed.apk to /system/app and libjbedvm.so to /system/lib, then rebooted the mobile.

But this app still crashed.

anybody can help to fix it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] foxcheng:
solution is : play in winmo ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crusoe86:
I want to run JBed, too...

But I also found the Android 2.1 Version.

Maybe it have to be reworked for 2.2.

But that will be only a matter of time ;)

Freak... :p

Maybe some of us won't play with JBed. They need it for daily use apps?!

Like for my "dasHandyTicket" to buy tickets for the train?!

I declare this thread retarded.

I do not understand one damned post in here.

What the hell does this mean? "Don't be afraid... I know it's chinese. But you will understand it"

Either you do, or don't understand Chinese.

OP, are you trying to ask how to install an apk that is not downloaded from the market?

If so, click on the apk file in a file explorer such as 'Root Explorer' and follow the prompts.

Holy sh*t...

Are you really as stupid as you want to tell us?

Did you really don't understand the irony in my post?

Take a look at the chinese page and tell me again that you don't understand that you have to click this

THIS TOOL IS NOW SUPERSEDED BY THE MULTITOOL LOCATED HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765906

TITLE PROBLEM: SHOULD READ AUDIO START UP & SHUT DOWN NOISE!!!! (Noob to posting)

From the Stickied Tips & Tricks

HOW TO USE:

1. Make sure you have installed the proper drivers for your device and OS (32/64)

2. Root your phone.

3. Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled! And plug in cable.

4. Download this and remove from the archive.

5. Double click "remove files.bat"

DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.multiupload.com/OG4MQ8NZEJ

MD5SUM: dafd6f26a6c2f84b89c8e550553b2fd5

I created this because I am bored.

There is the one click root, the one click lagfix and now the one click audio start up noise removal. Just makes it easier, cleans up after itself.

You must have Samsung Vibrant drivers, rooted phone obviously. Not responsible for bricking, fires, meteors, etc.

I am a new user and am not allowed to post links. Whatevs, attached below, I also have a mediafire link or someone can throw up mirror. I don't care.

Edit: This is probably in the wrong section. Oh well first post and all :D

Also no instructions in original post, just double click on remove files.bat
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
Can a mod move this to an appropriate forum? Either apps and dev or themes. Really didn't mean to post in general.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant General] erickrios:
Does this just remove the sounds or does it replace with something else?

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
Can I get a link to where I can find samsung vibrant drivers for windows 7 x64? Thank you, I just cannot seem to find them.
[Vibrant General] xcentrick:
I might be saying this for no good reason, because you did say that you're just bored... but the Vibrant doesn't need to delete files to have a silent startup and shut down. just go to settings>sound>System volume... now this also changes the volume for "audible selection"... but I hate that noise... so this would be a good mod to use for someone who likes hearing a pop when they touch their screen but doesn't like the startup and shutdown noises. I don't like either, so I just use the system volume setting.

My first post too... noobs unite!
[Vibrant General] gagb1967:
There is a difference between turning on off sound everytime and getting rid of or changing boot / shut sounds.

It is easily done through terminal in the same phone in 2 command lines.....
[Vibrant General] bert269:
Why is bootup sound so short....

Hey

Does anyone know why the bootup sounds is only about 5-6secs long? I created a wav of about 17sec, but it only plays the first 5-6 seconds. It also paused for a split second in this playtime.....

Is there a way to increase the time for this sound?

On the G1 the startup sound would play as long as the audio files was, so I guess it must be setting that limits this.

I have attached the startup sound I want to use (PowerOn.wav) and the result.wav file which was recorded during phone's startup (poor quality, since this is through my laptop's soundcard). Notice the difference in playtime between the two.

Anyone have the same experience or has anyone found a solution for this?

[HD2 General] ci00aaj:
Hi all,

I've done a big loop and have purchased another HD2 after flogging one about 8 months ago (that one was a virgin unbranded one i think) that was very stable with mimimal lock up's/crashes.

My current one is a T-Mobile branded phone and just feels like a completely buggy. So far i am having issues with:

1. The phone resetting itself after a minute of browing the internet using the stock browser (opera i think)

2. The screen freezing and dimming - the only way to get rid of it is to pull the battery out.

3. Currently the phone is turned off (from pulling the battery out) and i can't even get it back on again!

I really like the phone when i had it on Virgin and i want to like it again but this particular HD2 is just crazy. I was thinking of flashing to the generic HTC WWE ROM but i'm wondering if its a hardware issue.

Any help would bemuch appreciated
[HD2 General] colinm:
Which version T-mobile rom are you on. I upgraded to the 1.72 and have none of those problems if its take it back.
[HD2 General] Elcs:
Sounds like it could be either or when it comes to hardware or software here or a mix of both which is fun.

My T-Mobile UK HD2 didn't last more than 5 weeks with me... dropped the phone when pulling it out of my pocket, causing it to land on the only gritted part of the entire town I live in :D

I occasionally have issue 3) as you mention with my generic, unbranded HD2 which the insurance sent me and if I remember rightly, it happened with the T-Mobile one also. I just take the battery out, rub/poke the contacts on the battery and inside the phone, pop the battery back in and it fires up after what seems like a slightly longer delay before the 'buzz'.

I would either check for the latest T-Mobile UK ROM or pick up a generic WWE latest ROM to see whether the issue is hardware or software. In all honesty, getting rid of all of that T-Mobile branding and bloatware is not a bad idea anyway.

Hi,

I just bought the phone and I am still mastering the beast.

I finally managed to install Kies and I downloaded couple of Samsung apps. Everytime I click on Samsung apps, I get a warning saying "This phone is not supported by Samsung apps". I am on JF6 firmware. I was able to download but unable to install as the install options seems to be greyed out. Also, in Samsung apps, under the "Select a phone" option, I get S8500L and S8500 as the two options.

Can someone please help. I have the stock phone as is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tachikoma_kun:
That's because they (stupidly) don't have any Android apps on there yet, they are all Symbian or Windows Mobile.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] marcinis:
In my application when I get position latitude and longitude from GPS, I am downloading bing map to a picture box. I've been trying now to protect my application in case there is no internet connection. I've done that in the GetMap function and it works fine. After that I want to close gps - the problem is that I'm trying to do that in gps event handler - it is so because I update the picture box constantly:

void UpdateData(object sender, System.EventArgs args)
{

menuGPS.Text = "Enable GPS";
menuZoom.Enabled = false;
menuView.Enabled = false;
}

void gps_LocationChanged(object sender, Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Samples.Location.LocationChangedEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Position.LatitudeValid && args.Position.LongitudeValid)
{
if (isCameraEnabled == false)
{
try
{
pbMap.Invoke((UpdateMap)delegate()
{
pbMap.Image = bingMap.GetMap(args.Position.Latitude,
args.Position.Longitude,
zoom,
mapStyle);
});

if (pbMap.Image == null)
{

Invoke(updateDataHandler);
gpsData.gps.LocationChanged -= gps_LocationChanged;
gpsData.closeGPS();
}
}
catch (ArgumentException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("An error has occured:" + ex.Message , "Error");
}
}
else
{
}

}
}

So after the gpsData.gps.LocationChanged -= gps_LocationChanged; and gpsData.closeGPS(); are being called in the event handler the gps gets stuck in the WaitForGpsEvents() method in GPS.cs in the while loop because bool lisening value is not changed to false.

If I put gpsData.gps.LocationChanged -= gps_LocationChanged; and gpsData.closeGPS(); to the void UpdateData(object sender, System.EventArgs args) then it stops in the Close() method on the lock condition:

// block until our event thread is finished before

// we close our native event handles

lock (this)

How can I close the GPS?

I foolishly deleted the timescape.apk from my phone as i dont use it and wanted to free up some memory. I believe some part of the OS is trying to open it still as I get an error message that it cant be found each time I reboot. I tried downloading a .apk from the web but it wouldnt install, so I assume there are different versions. Could someone please post the Timescape.apks (there are three related ones IIRC) so that I can reinstall please?

Hey all

I have the following function to generate the http headers for a GET request on an image file:

byte [] headersAndImage()
{

StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
s.Append("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n");
s.Append("Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2010 11:40:00 GMT\r\n");
s.Append("Vary: *\r\n");
s.Append("Server: Custommade\r\n");
s.Append("Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n");

Bitmap b = new Bitmap("\\dog.jpg");

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
b.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg );
byte[] bitmapData = ms.ToArray();
ms.Close();

s.Append("Content-Length: " + bitmapData.Length + "\r\n\r\n");
byte[] headers = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(s.ToString());

return join(headers,bitmapData);

}

however when a browser receives this http packet the image is never displayed, usually just see the red X.

Any ideas why this won't work?
