[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
Well yeah, but there are several threads with people who practically bricked the phone with JPC, there is a warning that the OP obviously read. And still he asks about it... "is it safe".... OFCOURSE IT'S NOT!

Even when the flashing instructions state "DONT FLASH IF YOUR THREE BUTTON RECOVERY MODE WONT WORK" people ask "is it safe to flash? I don't have the three button recovery"...

I wish I could send a slap in the face to people who even considers doing hacks when they can't even understand the first 3 sentences of the instructions...

(Oh, and sorry OP, I don't specifically aim all this at you personally, it's just general frustration)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jahwe2000:
Hello,

I have tried to load cyanogenmod to my Vodafone HTC Magic (32B, Germany). It worked so far, but I ran into a boot loop after installing the mod.

I now want to make sure I am understanding things right ;-)

At the moment I have restored my backup and everything works again.

What I have done:

rooted the phone

fastbooted the ClockWork recovery

Backed up my data

Cleared dalvik cache

flashed cyanogenmod (update-cm-6.0.0-DS-signed) and google apps (gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed)

I did *not* wipe all data.

Then the cyanogenmod boot screen froze and started all over again.

Now it is recommended to erase all data - could this help in this situation? And if I do so, I will still be able to recover all old data from a backup?

Or is there a way to look into the boot process with adb / Eclipse to see what causes it to hang?

Or are there fundamental errors in the steps I take?

many thank in advance for all hints!

kind regards,

Philip
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mrmjolnir:
Hi,

Try executing adb shell.

Then in the phone shell, execute logcat. And debug :-)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ziggity06:
mine did the same thing when i only wiped the dalvik-cache i pulled the battery rebooted into recovery mode and wiped all the data then flashed the rom again and it worked fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jahwe2000:
Ok, I think I will do a full wipe as well.

I get lots of those:

ERROR/PackageManager(390): Package android has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!

and then finally:

ERROR/libEGL(390): No EGLDisplay for hardware EGL!

I will call again if I am just before bricking my device ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flacens:
Ha i just had the same problem yesterday! And it was because i didn't to a full wipe. You MUST do a full wipe. Then it worked for me and i still had all my data
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jahwe2000:
ok, no brick, but a fully working android 2.2 :)

Two things I have experienced: I had initially flashed the bigger google app pack, which had market missing and some weird things (home button not working). After flashing the tiny pack this worked again.

Now the only thing I would like to do is replace the Vodafone splash screen, but as far as I could find out, this requires a modified SPL. As I think that this dramatically increases the danger of bricking my device, I would like to avoid that.

Is there any other way?

kind regards,

Philip
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ziggity06:
did you just flash the tiny gapps over the other one or did you do a full wipe and only flash the tiny gapps? just wondering if i need both zip files im still running 5.0.8 on my mytouch3g
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jahwe2000:
I did a full wipe before installing the mod itself, but I flashed tiny over the other afterwards without wiping everything again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ziggity06:
ok thanks (why is there a ten character minimum for posts?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jahwe2000:
If I have to use an engineering SPL (as it seems) to flash the splash screen - which one is the right one to use and will I have to update radio as well?

This is my system:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ruspa:
Hello, my sgs often disables the touch screen while typing or simply using the phone. For instance, while you are typing a sms a whole part of the soft keyboard gets unclickable, sometimes the whole screen is unclickable. This happens on every application, every rom I tried. To fix this (for a couple of seconds) I need to push the power btn to make it sleep and then wake up again, and the touch software magically wakes up as well.

Sometimes it works well for days. Sometimes a poltergeist clicks randomly wherever in the screen, and you got to battle to quickly exit every application is starting or configuration being changed by random clicks.

While at first sight this may look like a hardware fail, this can't be because just sleeping it and waking it up solves temporarily the problem. Furthermore, happens that works very nice and smooth for days and days.

Anyone else faced and perhaps solved this issue? Maybe another keyboard program? some kind of replacement? I tried one click lag fix (rooted) but looks to me it has nothing to do with that (in fact does not solve it)

Thanks for any support, this is really the best phone in the market now and it's a pity to have this kinda virus-like behaviour.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
hmm not me. normally a re-flash will solve all problems.

like, you reformat your SD cards (both internal and external (if any)), flash (with re-partition ticked). after booting up, reformat SD cards again. go recovery menu and wipe data/factory reset and cache.

lol that should solve everything since you're at the default of defaults?

reccomend you not to restore apps/settings via anything. start everything afresh.

that's just me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ruspa:
with original firmware (unbranded 2.1 from mediaworld - mediamarkt) I only got stuck lotsa times, with JP3 and now with JP2 I get less often stuck but got this random clicks... more often when the battery is low. For instance when the phone is totally dained and I plug and poweron, it's ghost haunted! Need an exorcist :) Happens randomly, then you leave it for an hour in your pocket and will behave flawlessly for dozen of hours. Don't have a clue.

P.S. formatting internal sd card won't erase everything, including OS? Or just os-settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
formatting your sd cards will just delete whatever documents you've put onto your device. system stuff are intact.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
May I conclude that the problem is worse when you use your phone while charging it? If so, maybe your phone is haunted by a cousin of the famous shaky screen (while on charger) ghost. See this thread.

Good luck with finding the GhostBusters for this one :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] psychedelic'd:
I've noticed that the touch screen is less responsive when plugged into a charger. Maybe because of the electrical current running through the phone.

But your situation just seems like lag to me. Next time it happens, open up the task manager and check how much free ram you have. A solution to lag would be to use a lag fix and install AutoKiller. You'll need root for both though.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Untouchab1e:
Ok, so Im trying to understand why Google developed and used Dalvik in Android instead of Java ME apart from the fact that Dalvik is much better suited for resource limited devices. Ive read several places that Google did it partially to avoid licensing issues with Sun (now Oracle).

here its claimed amongst other things, the following:

But I cant see how that would affect Google? Unless you implement the Java ME plattform and make changes to it, you're not affected by GPL at all, and even if you did, Android is open source, so.. Im confused..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GinoAMelone:
My understanding is that Oracle/Sun's lawsuit is based on patent claims, not copyright. The license that J2SE was released under really doesn't matter. For two reasons, none of this is J2SE and Google went out of their way to avoid using Oracle/Sun's code.

So, there is no claim that Google is violating any license associated with J2SE, or even J2ME. The claim is that the Dalvik VM implementation violates patents that Sun invented/filed while creating J2ME.

I haven't looked into things far enough to address whether Dalvik violates any of the patent claims in question or whether the claims are bogus in the original patent.

BTW, IANAL nor an embedded systems developer. I am however a moderately well-informed technologist and experienced professional applications developer.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
If you've had the chance to compare a Captivate and the Epic, did you notice that the Epic's screen seems a bit more "yellowish"? Of course, they use the same screens, but I wonder if they're tweaked differently by each carrier as far as color gamut curves go.
[Epic 4G General] kennethpenn:
Got my captivate and Epic right next to each other for ya. Screens are different. But, the Epic 4G seems brighter. Not yellowish for sure. I tested out the following websites for color: engadget.com, briefmobile.com, msn.com, androidandme.com.

The Epic 4G seemed a tad brighter. But they are almost indistinguishable.

Both screens are the same exact screen. Remember that each screen was manufactured at a different time and that no two screens are perfectly identical. Often screens look yellowish because of the way the screen glue dried or was applied.
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
I have done a lot of reading, and a lot of people have considered the captivate screens a little "bluish".. This *could* be the perception of white balance. If you go to any TV, and change the white balance between "cool" and "warm", you will notice that cool tends to be a little on the blue side, and warm is a little on the yellow side. This is sort of a color calibration thing, and is bound to be different from device to device (slightly). I've always found the 6500K industry standard white balance to be yellowish, and I've noticed that most people (including myself) prefer something more along the lines of 7300K.

That being said, if it is the white balance, the difference should be pretty minor. When I was using the epic at the store, it looked really nice and I personally didn't pick up on this. However, it would be much more noticeable coming from a phone that had a "cool" white balance.

If it looks like you are looking at the screen through yellow glasses though, it might just be defective..

[Streak 5 General] brycestejskal:
Replace or Refund?

So exactly one week of owning my streak and the screen under the glass cracks. Not one drop, not one knock against something. Went to stand up from siting on a couch with it in my pocket and I hear a crack. Pull out my streak and there is a huge crack in the lcd under the gorilla glass. I wasn't wearing any skinny emo jeans either, just run run of the mill dickie shorts.

So, what do you guys think? Should I take my chances with the replacement that dell offered? Or take the refund before the 30 days are up and go with something else?

Anyone know where the image is stored when I use "Set as wallpaper" in the browser?

(Stock Froyo, stock browser)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
To start off, I'll shed light on where you can find the following applications

Facebook S! - Found in the [Samsung Apps] application off your application drawer.

Facebook for Android - Found in the [Android Market].

Well as we all know. Facebook for Android is horrible as it brings you to the mobile site everytime you hit something off the Notifications area(not integrated within the application itself). And it's slow compared to the Facebook iOS users get. And that is pretty sad. I'm not a Facebook whore so I'm not "essentially complaining" but I guess I'm speaking for the masses?

So I was browsing [Samsung Apps] for fun and I realized there's a new application released! That's right. Facebook S! It has no underbar as Notifications though it can be found under "Inbox". But, it's all integrated within the application! No more mobile-site!

While that's a step-up from the Facebook for Android application, I'm keeping both for the heck of it.

What's your view?

tl;dr - There's a new Facebook application off [Samsung Apps], try it. Compare it with the Facebook application off the [Android Market] and tell me what you think.

OMG, nice... i try samsung one and it works like a charm... my new FB app.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hydrostatic:
I think Facebook S is totally futile piece of software. Doesn't bring anything really new and lacks essential functionalities. It's also slow, because it always seem to load stuff when one changes the tab.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
i've came to a conclusion that both suck in comparison to what the apple's appstore has.

shall use the Facebook for Android for now. mobile site is way faster than all that loading ****.

Facebook_s sucks even more than the regular app.loading times are horrific.Plus it also looks a lot less crisp then the regular app.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Greg82uk:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
Facebook S is crap. It is extremely limited. All you can do is browse your wall and other people's walls. Things like Facebook Events and contact lists that are in the official app, are all missing.

I don't know why people have problems with the official Facebook app, I find it works awesome. Its basically identical to the iPhone one now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
This is not true in Facebook S you can upload Video easily.. and you can view them very fast..the normal facebook app will not upload video's and its hard to view videos.. in the Facebook S you have a tab just for videos
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anoneemooz:
Ditto with what one of the previous posters said...I stick with the mobile website.

The Android Facebook app doesn't look that good IMHO. The Samsung one is REALLY buggy and clunky. Searching for friends doesn't turn up results unless they are all shown in the list below...so you have to manually click show more or whatever to get all your friends to show, and then you can search for them. That's a bit inconvenient and senseless if you ask me. Also the inbox is messed up.

Both apps load really slow. The mobile website is still what I rely on. I just bookmark it to make it easier to get to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Alessiogian:
Hi to all,

unfortunately i delete the facebook s app from my galaxy i9000 and now i can not find it anymore.

I also didn't find it with samsung kies.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cyberdyne systems:
When I first got my phone i used the facbook S and i thought there was something wrong with my phone as it took ages to upload and was generally slow in all area's.

Hi to all,

Unfortunately,for several days unable to send massages from WildFire.

When i trying to send msg i get notice-"unable send message after multiple attempt".

By the way i tried to enter into a 'Service Center' but there isn't option to change something there.

Any advise?

Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire General] xcalibur666:
My girlfriend has the same issues with her Wildfire, both using the buildin SMS application and with ChompSMS.

Some times she gets the error too (several times a day) and she has to resend the messages. The really weird stuff is though, that the receiver actually sometimes do get the message the first time resulting in that the receiver gets the message several times.

And I have the exact same issue with my Desire.. Right now I'm searching high and low for a solution. I've talked to my provider (BiBoB, Denmark, using Telenors network), and they've told me that they could not see anything unusual about the message, so it would either be our phones or our SIM cards.

Since some others have problems too, I suspect Android.
[Wildfire General] vadella:
I think it something wrong with my sim card,because,if i change the phone to desire i also can't to send sms.and another sim cards works fine with wildfire and desire.

so i need to check with my provider what the problem.
[Wildfire General] ls1971:
Facebook to blame for identical problem

Had this problem with my wife's Wildfire last night. Turns out, Facebook was to blame.

The number of the person she was sending the text to changed on Facebook to the format "447### ######" instead of "07### ######". The link between the contact on the phone and Facebook meant the Facebook contact number became the default for that person and as the number wasn't valid, it failed when trying to send a text message or dial a voice call.

Fortunately, the contact in question was me so I removed my number from Facebook and the one on the handset started to work again....
[Wildfire General] vadella:
Thanks for advise,

I've tried to desibale sync with facebook and now i'm using only sim-cards phones number, but still enable to send sms,so unfortunately i don't think the problem in facebook at least in my case.
