Well I installed all kind of apps. but i have the feeling this problem was happening even before that.

And I dont need widgets to control data ( I think) because I set the sgs to use 2g networks only and I dont have apn configured( section is empty. Internet connec. only via wifi.

Well, my sim card is VERY old (2002) and the carrier (Telfort) is roaming into another carrier's network (Kpn) with no extra costs of course like real roaming, but still roaming (I get the little "R" next to the signal strenght bars)

Anyway this never happened with the Nokia 5800xm running Symbian OS and using the same sim card...

Starting to get pissed of with Android...

With Symbian you hack or root or tweak because you want to, not because you NEED to like with Android....

And then you prob. get side effects...

Thank you guys for your time

I would get a new sim card if I were you. Every android phone that I have had seems to work better with a good 3g sim.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ConceptVBS:
Get a new SIM card.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maranevim:
same problem, different phone

i have the same problem on kaiser with flashed android on it.

sim is 2 years old, and now suddenly this happened, tried differents sim cards, but the problem persists. My guess is, it is a software problem.

Maybe i will report when I flash original WM6.1 rom onto it, if you are interested in the result :)

btw, this happened about two days ago and because of this im buying galaxy s :D so i hope the problem will be gone with new phone :)

anyone able to reproduce this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
Why you think the problem will be gone if it's still android and I also got it with my sgs? Or are you counting on Froyo?

Yesterday I upgraded my sgs to froyo jpc with kies. I am new with Android but the post of Aery was so clear that i didnt resist: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769400&highlight=froyo+upgrade

I did get stuck on reboot but could get out of it after applying a cache/data/factory reset on recovery mode (3 buttons)

Now I am being carefull with the 3rd party apps., and so far so good, no gsm disconnections .

Froyo is of course better that eclair but Android is still disappointing to me.

You flashed Android onto a WM device (i'm impressed); could you not teach me how to flash Symbian onto my SGS?:D

Voice dialing (over bluetooth or not) and proper connectivity control (network, data, gps and bluetooth) of android is years behind Symbian; and such a well written, light OS, it will just fly on a high-end hardware like the sgs; but that is an issue for another thread.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7938430#post7938430

Pls keep reporting..

I think indeed that's not the same issue. My problem is that the radio signal get turned off during inactivity. That's why I got connection back after reboot: radio signal gets turned on again; later I learned how to turn radio signal back on without rebooting, but that is just a remedy , no real solution.

Try to upgrade to froyo, make a factory reset and be carefull with 3rd party apps. With froyo you will need less interfering tools anyway

I dont thing that my old sim card is the problem, but i'll try to replace it anyway...but first things first

Btw dou you have 3g turned on? Cause I never...

Another mistery: When I have 3G on I see those bars (signal strenght) dancing and that "death grip" thing happening:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LROTHrTR92k

But when I have it on 2G only the bars doesnt move even if I strangle it with both hands.....:)

Please repport later how it's going...

I had the same issue, i sent mine back and got my money back, i had also tried with different simcards and resets and nothing worked.. so hopefully my new galaxy wont have this problem. Its strange that these problems are so rare though.. But as long i get it going ill be a happy man. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
fourth day with JPC ( and 4 days after a factory reset) so far so good no disconnections . I think problem is gone...

Today just to be safe, I got a new sim card....the other one was too old anyway(8 years)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alpachiles:
i have the same issue, for a few days i can't get 3g. i'm seriously wondering about sending back my sgs. i've ttried all the settings, changed my sim..nothing...begin to think it was a fullish thing to change Desire to SGS..:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
Well... this is not the same issue.

I have 3G (WCDMA) disabled. I only use 2G (GSM) and WIFI for data/internet connection.

I Dont have a data account, I dont need it therefore I disabled 3G in order to save battery.

If you do want to use 3G, just go to settings - wireless and network - mobile network settings - network mode and set auto-mode (GSM/WCDMA or 3G/2G)

If it doesn't work, apply a data/factory reset and try again.

And if it doesnt work, it's probably hardware related and you should return it or send it for repair.

My issue is more complicated; next to the fact that I dont want to use 3g, my carrier is roaming to another network and probably Android OS or the firmware cannot handle it properly.

Android is still premature and the "Samsung - Android integration" seems to need a lot of development as well.

It is just a shame that basic functions like proper connectivity control just wont cut it. And Google is not doing any good either.

And dont let me get started on the voice recognition issue......

Hardwarewise, the SGS is superior that htc desire.....I wonder how it would perform if running Symbian^3 OS or Meego.....

I get a great sound quality from the stock music player just by mixing the equalizer and using the music clarity effect...just great...better than any other device I tried.

And the OFFLINE Gps experience is just great as well: the combination SGS - Motonav - External Bluetooth gps device is working like a charm.

I wouldn't change my sgs just yet......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alpachiles:

Hello,

I know its been a long time since you wrote this thread but I just came by it!

I have the exact same problem with you (I had it since August) even now with the official froyo. I tried factory reset and no new apps (that could cause the problem) but it still disconnects randomly in GSM mode. However, when I have it on auto (gsm and wcdma) I have no issues. I just disconnect data from the power button in froyo. I am wondering if you ever found a solution..

Chryssa
[Galaxy S I9000 General] betoNL:
Well, I am subscribed to this topic so I saw your post.

Good and bad news:

First the bad one: No solution yet, it keeps disconnecting IF I stay on "gsm only".

And the good (or a little better) news:

I noticed that on sgs, using "gsm only" or "gsm/wcdma (auto mode) makes no difference on battery consumption....

By the way, this is a Samsung issue, not really an Android one.

On a HTC Desire HD, you can use "gsm only" mode with no problems...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chryssa33:
Thank you for your answer!

I noticed that about the battery too. So not too bad, I just have to keep it on auto mode then..;)

hi,

i have manila 2.5 1921, stock rom and i want to change only language in weather tab, and home tab (also only weather conditions)

Like now is write (rain, sun etc..) but i want to change to my language

I alredy try xml files in Manila (Weather_Pages.xml) but this is for menu.

Is this data in registry?

thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordPrefect:
Look for "BsB Tweaks", it is a collection of registry and other tweaks. Also included is a switch for the Manila language. That should do the trick!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malimaks:

Did some searching on this but it came up blank, so maybe someone has a brilliant idea for this :rolleyes:

Almost every other day we are getting new builds for Android. I'm sure many of you are like me and have a set of APKs you install with every build. For example SWYPE.

I would like to know if there is a way, when installing a new build, you can have certain apps auto-installed. This would really save me time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadiku:
Can't you just put them in the "AndroidApps" folder that usually comes with every build..?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hatefly:
Wasn't sure if that was the proper way it was done. I tried that once, needless to say it didn't work out to well. Had to eat a hard reset. :(

Anyways, can anyone confirm that this is the best way to do it, or if you know of another that would be great. Please share!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raary101:
Yup!

yes, i'm 99.9% sure that this is a way to auto-install apps onto your phone, as i've read this in other threads which say the same thing :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
I did this myself with darkstone's builds. I just loaded up the android apps folder. On second boot I had issues so I then deleted all those apps through winmo and everything was fine again. Not sure with this folder that everytime you boot it tries to reinstall or not. Would like some clarification on that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ebraminio:
Not worked for me :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
I would suggest downloading 7zip file manager, then when you download your desired rom then just open it up. Navigate to the data/apps folder and drop your apps in there, when you flash the rom then your personal apps will be flashed and installed as if they came with the rom already.

That's what I do and I have never had an issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
Or there always is ADB
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] plasmastrike:
there are some adb apk tools that could probably do a batch install
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marquo:
Am i right that after putting those in your folder, after hard reset all those apps that were there will reinstall(those that you wanted, and those you uninstalled)? Or there will be trouble uninstalling as it is part of ROM?

Personally i used one of those App Backup & Restore apps from market. I had to spend 10 minutes pressing "Accept" cause they install by regular way, but it was quite fast anyway. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
Now which folder are you referring to? When I mentioned placing apps, I was talking about putting them into the data/app folder of the rom zip you are flashing so they will be installed on first boot.

As for backing up and restoring apps, I suggest using MyBackup as it does apps plus their associated data as a batch backup/restore. It doesn't require you to accept each one.

Please mybackup will do sms/mms, call logs, browser shortcuts, and so on. Here is the market link for it: MyBackup
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marquo:
I got you right, and i thought that as they are part of ROM, they will be saved and restored when hard reseting(even if you uninstalled them on purpose).

Thiss app sounds really nice, i shall try it out.

Look what i found when i came to forum by main site of xda: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23291051 :D

I reserved an epic but I don't have anything that actually says that. When I go to the store tomorrow will they just have a record of my reservation or do I need to call and get them to email me some kind of reservation paper that I can print?
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
you should have received an e-mail with confirmation.

This is the link provided with the confirmation to change/check on, etc your reservation:

[Epic 4G General] richse:
It says: "There are no appointments at this location associated with this phone number." I didn't enter a location, just my phone number, so I don't know what place it is checking.

If this thing is correct I'm going to be really pissed off. I called sprint like 10 times leading up to the preorder and they told me I was good to go. If I don't get an epic tomorrow this will be the last time sprint screws me over.
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
hmm maybe thats for my store... sorry for the confusion.

Check your junk email or something, if you reserved they would have sent you a confirmation email. subject: Your Samsung Epic 4G reservation is confirmed and it's from:

"Sprint" <noreply@ttmail.timetrade.com>
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
You should have gotten an email when you first did the reservation. Everyone else did. Have you considered the possibility of user error?

If you reserved one successfully you would have gotten 2 emails by now. One when you made the reservation, and the 2nd yesterday.

Edit: In any case, you should consider calling a Sprint store today and asking if they can reserve one for you. I honestly doubt they will sell out on day one. If they do I am sure you could get it at Radio Shack or Best Buy on day one. This isn't the iPhone, there will not be lines around the block.
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
Do you think we should call the Sprint Store to make sure we are all good for tomorrow? I assume since we recieved the emails we are all bueno?

Hello,

First off, I'm owning a Samsung Omnia Qwerty (B7610) and I have a problem...

I'm trying to create a backup of my contacts by using the Samsung PC Studio software. Whenever I connect my USB cable to my phone, I usually get a selection menu whether to select "PC Studio", "Mass Storage" or "Active Sync". However, this menu is gone. Whenever I plug the cable in, it just starts with Active Sync (or Mass Storage) as defined in the settings screen. However, these things won't coöperate with the PC Studio software.

Is there any way to get this menu back when I connect my USB cable to my phone?

If you don't know what I'm asking about, here's a picture that somewhat looks like the menu I'm trying to get:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dandarebr:
I noted an issue with caller ID and the firmware that I'm using (JM1 "New").

Whenever I receive I call, the phone recognize the phone and select the correct contact on my agenda. But whenever I'm on roaming of when I receive and SMS the phone can't identify the correct contact in my phonebook, and show the caller number (or sender number on SMS) instead of the contact in my phonebook.

I don't know if anyone else had this issue, or if it's an issue related to the Brazilian mobile phone infrastructure but I didn't had this kind of issues on my previous phones (Windows Mobile, Symbiam or Blackberry) and I would like to know how to solve this.

Important information: Here in Brazil, when you want to make a long distance call you have to choose the long distance operator on each call. In order to do so you have to select the operator using a two digit code after the long distance code "0" and before the city code. So it's like this:

0 XX 11 99999999

Long distance Operator City Phone

code code code number

So, in order to make this easy, I already included the Operator code in all contacts in my agenda, like: 0411199999999

But when I receive a call (from someone not in my agenda) it doesn't include the operator code. It shows only the phone number if the caller is from my city (99999999) or 0+city code+number when the caller is from other city (02199999999), without the operator code.

So I think that the issue is that the phone tries to match ALL the numbers from caller ID with the first numbers for that contact. So if the caller ID shows "99999999" it will match it with my agenda if I have "099999999", or "0411199999999). So as long as it finds the "99999999" it doesn't matter how long the number in my agenda is.

But sometimes (like when I'm on roaming or when I'm receiving and SMS) the caller ID shows an additional zero in from of the number (099999999). Since the phone can't match all the Caller ID numbers it can't find the contact in my agenda and shows the caller number instead of the contact.

So in order to this work for me it should only match the first 8 numbers from the caller ID with my phonebook. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there a way to change the agenda configuration in order to match only the first 8 numbers?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusivebyte:
Update: Wow I'm an idiot. There's an icon right on the address bar that opens the exact window I'm thinking of. In my defense, I don't think I used to have to access it this way. I seem to recall there being a menu option. Who knows. I bricked my G1 so I can't go look.

On my G1 I could long-press on the Back button and get my browser history. I've read elsewhere that this is the case on other phones. This is mysteriously missing from the Vibrant. Plus there used to be a menu option to see it. I can find no way to access the history using the "Web" app. There is a button in settings to clear the History, but what's the point if no one can ever see it?

Same with Bookmarks. I can create bookmarks, but there don't appear anywhere! The button that normally shows bookmarks (if I recall correctly) is now an "Add RSS Feeds" button. The only way I've been able to access bookmarks is by creating a shortcut on my home screen. That's pretty ridiculous.

I seem to remember bookmarks, history, and possibly the open window list all being in one spot with a tabbed interface. All I can get to now is the open window list. EDIT: No, wait, I think it was bookmarks, history, and downloads all in one place. I was using CM5 at the time if that matters.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Also, does anyone else think it's annoying that the browser has it's own brightness setting and you can't just tell it to use the normal brightness setting? I understand the idea behind the future. You spend a lot of time staring at the screen when using the browser, so it's nice to be able to dim it to save battery power, but I sure wish there were an option to just make it use the normal brightness, because I really don't care. This is especially annoying when I have the brightness in the browser all the way up, and I'm using the reddit app at night in my bed, and I click a link. BAM! I'm blinded by the bright screen and have to keep staring at it to go find the setting to lower it.

I think Samsung made some really dumb mistakes with their version of Android. I know that custom roms solve these problems, but users shouldn't have to hack their phone to get basic features like access to browser history and bookmarks.
