[Galaxy S I9000 General] BronzedDroid:
Have you flashed any new firmwares lately?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
No, I'm afraid to get the warranty void, nor do I know which firmware to flash, how to do it and how to un-do it. I also don't know if serial numbers will change or something :|

Sorry :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BronzedDroid:
Don't be sorry. I was just asking because there have been reports that some of the 2.2 froyo firmwares had some similar issues, but I think that was mostly when watching films.

So you didn't do anything "new" when this happened? Installed an app, messed with phone settings etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
I received an advice to go to video player and while playing a video go to settings. There are some color controls but it didn't help.

One more thing I didn't mention before, the color anomaly is present even when phone boots up or shuts down, when those logos spin, etc. For example, when it boots, the big shiny "S" also has this anomaly instead of being smooth as it was originally...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
Here, I even recorded a video of the bootup, maybe you can see what I mean although my digital camera isn't intended for capturing video so it may not be the best quality :/

At 0:14 where purple color is, it isn't smooth, instead it looks like thick lines of purple...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AnnihilatorSC:
Just take it to the closest Samsung Service Center for repair/replacement. Forget the dealer. If you have proper warranty papers there shouldn't be a problem.

Same thing happened to mine, bought directly from Vip, about one hour after turning it on. Returned it to the Vip center and got a new unit 2 days later.

In any case, the address of the authorized service center is somewhere on the eastern outskirts of Zagreb.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
It's got warranty papers of that guy's company. I don't think it would be accepted by official Samsung service center because it's not the original Samsung warranty paper that is legitimate in every Samsung center. This guy owns a small cellphone service company, sells cellphones bought outside of Croatia and gives his own warranty on them. Who knows how he gets them, I just know he had Galaxy S far sooner than it appeared here officially. Thanks for the advice anyway...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
Do you recommend to flash a new firmware? I've read guides and I can do it, I just need an advice which firmware to flash? Will it void the warranty?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
Sorry for posting one post after another, but this is important. I found someone else with the same problem: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1520586

I don't think I'm gonna try flashing the firmware, I'll wait until monday to contact the warranty guy and ask for repair of the device or the replacement. I will also send him a link to this post, so if you can take your screenshots, now would be a good moment :/

Thanx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AnnihilatorSC:
I'd do the shots but I've got nothing to take them with. Sorry.

In any case, a replacement is necessary. It's definitely a hardware fault and it appears to affect early units. My replacement device has a later manufacture date and a newer firmware than the first, dead one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
How do you know this, is there a link about this? Is it a known fault for early units? How do I know if my unit is an "early unit" ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Wierd. You should definitely give Samsung a call. Your phone should be still under the manufacturers warranty. Hopefully they will replace the screen without any hassle.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AnnihilatorSC:
I don't, sorry. I'm just guessing based on my experience and the fact that it happened to other people who bought the phones early on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
I just called the guy who gave me the "warranty" and they don't admit that there's a problem with the phone, instead I have to pay analysis at the official Samsung service center (approx. 10€) to get the official paper saying that something really is wrong with the screen. After that he'll give me a new phone and take this one.

I'm not 100% satisfied with this solution, but considering other options I had and a fact that I bought it on the black market, this one is fastest.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
So...

My phone just returned from Samsung Service. Yes, the screen is faulty. I already knew that so it didn't surprise me, but behavior of the "warranty guy" did.

He attacked me verbally, saying that I'm a liar and that he doesn't believe me (although I did all this just because of him). He asked me worksheet number of my case at Samsung Service so that he can check if I'm telling the truth. To make to long story short, he refused to help even after he was convinced. One of his statements was "you bought the phone for half the price, what did you expect?! why didn't you buy the real one!".

After I ran out of nerves and being polite with him, I told him to fix the problem or face the consequences (inspectorate), after which he went mad again saying that I'm threatening him and that he can pay someone to find and kill me... I told him to do so freely. Then he yelled some more and finally hung up the phone. After 10 minutes I received a call from him saying to send him the phone on Monday.

So, suma summarum, I ended up being without the phone for more than a month and with 40€ of postal costs + Samsung Service's inspection.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
I came across this thread, and it look interesting.

Best of luck claiming your warranty. There always problems when it comes to 'service' warranty, because the seller will need to repair/pay repair bill from Samsung/get you a new device from his own pocket.

I personally would never buy a electronic gizmo w/o manufacturer's warranty.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
Wow dude. Sorry you had to go through all that, that's just ridiculous. That guy clearly shouldn't be selling technology if he doesn't expect to get any returned because of issues. I hope you get it resolved okay and end up with a nice new phone. :)

Not sure if this is the right section to put this but I'll go ahead anyway. The problem I have got is that I put the unofficial 2.2 update onto my desire and now that the offical is out I'm wanting to know how to get that on it instead. I have tried to looking around but can't see anything regarding how to do it.

It may be here somewhere and I am just obvious to it so if it is please post the link. :p

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira2k1:
I am a newbie when it comes to posting. I always use xda with the search function only when I have problems, but I can't find a working solution that works for me in the forums. this is my first time ever posting.

I am running CM6 stable with snap7.5 kernel & gapps-hdpi-20100817 and my GPS used to work like a charm but now it hangs on finding gps for a while now and it doesn't take me to route. I noticed a lot of people running CM6 is having the same problem, but none of the fixes work for me. I have tried wipe cache dalvik twice, then re-flashing newest gapps, and tried numerous different kernels, including stock CM6 kernel.

Also, one of the biggest annoyances is the missing apps in the market. I paid for apps like Skydroid and so on, and after flashing official CM6 stable titanium back wont restore, even just the app by itself. I cleared data & cache from market and did all fixes online, but still no luck. I can't even find it on the market to re purchase it. Thats when I started to notice there are a lot of apps that doesn't show up in my market search. I can find the apps like Angry Birds in Appbrian, but when i try to install it from my phone and when it brings me to the market place to install, it wont find it. If anyone can help me with these problems that would help me out so much, and put an end to my searching.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyzidek:
Not sure why.. but if you do titanium backup or your apps it stores then on the SD card to reinstall. Never have to go through market again. If you have a band backup to where you had those apps install it and do a apps backup then go to the nand backup of cm6 and install them through titanium
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akira2k1:
Actually I have tried that already too, I went back to a nand that i had all these apps working and then went back to CM6 and titanium backup still said unsuccessful installation. first time its happened but it was unsuccessful with a lot of apps.

Will this method work for HTC Magic as well?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_911_Patched
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Sleeepy2:
Yes it does.

I couldn't make a goldcard (tried 3 different ones that I had) so I said F' it I'll give this a try.

Works great, just make sure you get the correct raido/spl/recovery for the magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SilentTweak:
I suppose for the first recovery flash, I should use the Amon Hero Recovery first right? Then after it is rooted, I should then flash 1.33.2005 and radio 3.22.xx.xx. Then flash CM6?

say i partitioned my memory card, 1.5gb for the /Android folder and the rest for the /sdcard

i know the windows part would see only the first partition i think, but once it loaded into android would the other partition be available?

i might then would have to remount /sdcard to the 2nd partition?

has anyone tried this? it would solve the usb drive problems.

HTC Desire unlock is supported from this moment on Riff Box (JTAG interface) for those who has it, and know how to use it...

more info:

03.09.2010 HTC Desire Unlock, Unbrick, IMEI repair supported

Please start JTAG Manager and click “Check for Updates” button. You’ll be notified about new DLL, download it and restart the software.

“HTC_Desire.dll” contains pinout, repair instructions and required files for single click HTC Desire Unlock, Unbrick, IMEI repair.

uh.. i wouldn't do anything with DLL's especially with the recent dll exploits.

And especially not from someone who just posted for the first time.
[Desire General] serialkillazzs:
How do these boxes connect,especially to desire and HTC magic just interested
[Desire General] Blartiartfast:
The poster might be a noob, but the developer of riff, and his team aren't.

The "dll" is loaded into the riff software. This tells the software what and where to load the files needed. It's a good box, but sadly it's a JTAG connection.

Theres several JTAG boxes around now for the HTC. This and the ORT box seem to be the best... Remember though, they are JTAG boxes.
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
These boxes are only for the dealers and resellers and not for end users.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Who says? If I can buy one, I can use one! :)

Admittedly though, you'd want to be unlocking quite a few phones to justify the expense.

i have noticed that no contacts appears when we press

it only displays the number we press

while normally it should display the correspondent contact

is this feature is disabled or so it is default feature

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Using CM6 and I have a annoying issue. I don't know if this was intended as a feature or maybe just an issue on my part. I'd like to be able to go into call log, tap on a missed call/contact, and have it automatically call.

If I want to call my gf I have to long press her name and select call. Is there a way to enable this. I check through the call log preferences and didn't see anything.

Basically need to tap on a contact in my call log and automatically call them. I DON'T want to have to long press.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon:
Judging on it's behavior it looks like it was intended this way.

I think it threads calls by day, and if there were multiple calls in that day you click on you're going to expand the thread.

Otherwise clicking on the call then I get the option to call in the next screen... so 2 maybe 3 clicks at most.

I don't think it is an issue, but the design. I could understand you just want to click to call but it gives you multiple options when clicking on the missed call.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posguy99:
Or you could just open the Phone app, Press Menu >> Preferences, scroll down to Call Log, and click "Show Dial Button".

Nahh... you're right, it's intended that you should be forced to long-press.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Yeah I always redial from my call log so its annoying. Thanks that worked I saw that option but didn't know what it meant. This works perfect.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexnaoumi:
Samsung widgets r empty cuz we don't have any installed, and even if we could install them I doubt it'd show up. I do agree this is a rip off of iPhone, many others have said that, but I thought this would be nice to share.

Hi all,

been playing around with my Magic last night and currently have the CM6 - FroyoRedux Mod v1.9 installed, gave the CM6-D/S a go as well but it didn't appear to have market?

Anyway, these roms do not look anything like the Froyo on my HTC Desire, if I recall correctly they are ported from/resemble Samsung Galaxy S?

Was wondering if there are any ROMs that do look and work like the original HTC one?

Cheers

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vercetti:
hey,

what you are looking for is roms with the HTC Sense user interface (your desire is running android 2.1 with the htc sense on top).

i don't know of any 2.2 roms that have sense, but if you don't mind having 2.1+sense then try RCMix from capychimp or Smoki from klothius. both in the development section/forum. if you just want to have the sense interface on your magic and don't need the latest android (2.1 or 2.2) then i'd really recommend cursorsense from cursor droid. that's a 1.5 rom with sense and it runs perfectly - you can even overclock the cpu up to 710mhz with that rom (of course you have to flash the overclocked kernel over the rom and then use the program setcpu to overclock the cpu). you'll find cursorsense and the thread that has the overclocked kernel in the "rom bible" thread in the development section/forum.

so:

2.2 + sense: don't think there's one out yet

2.1 + sense: RCMix or Smoki

1.5 + sense: cursorsense (fast, very, very stable no problems at all plus option to overclock cpu).

try them out if you like!

greetz,

vercetti.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JorisS:
Cheers for the reply!

I'm running 2.2 on the Desire though, they released it in the beginning of August.

To be honest I don't really know the differences between 1.5 and 2.1, might try all of your suggestions while I'm at it :)

//Joris
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vercetti:
no prob,

biggest difference for me between 1.5 and 2.1 is that google maps has navigation feature. to get a good glance what the differences between the versions are i'd suggest to just google "android 1.5", "android 2.1" and look for a features/improvements/comparison list.

if you don't need the changes they made since 1.5 then definetely go with cursorsense + overclocked cpu. you won't regret it...

greetz,

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dantheman_:
Not yet.. They are still working on unlocking the nand and we still use winMO to load some of the drivers. We will get there eventually. Even so, if you run a lite rom like ChuckyDroidROM you hardly notice WinMO loading.

Please give it a rest mate. People can act without perfection sometimes.

I understand why you flamed him but get real, some people will ask questions without hours of searching, is it that bad? I mean the post will move off the first page fairly quickly if it is that uninteresting.

I actually read it with interest to the question and the answer, so I found it useful.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmmmmm:
With the level of success I have had with my HD2 and ANdroid I would say that there are quite a few folks who probrably use Android 100% of the time now. Its certainly far enough along to have surpassed the novelty phase into a viable solution for WinMo replacement.

You WILL have to do the homework and find the build that suits you though.

Good luck. :)
