ab111 instead of airplane mode, if you only turn APN off, you can still use phones for calls and texting (and everything else when you have wifi access.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestbeancounter:
So after a whole day, I've come to the conclusion that it is indeed an APN issue. I turned my APN off and my phone worked perfect.. well except all Data related stuff I didn't get.. bah.

Looks like I'll be using a Data-less phone at the office until there's some kind of fix for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
I had similar problem, but not the same. I was using internet with phone plugged into USB charging from zero. Phone was on HSDPA with excellent reception. Suddenly all data connection gone, just like reception for ordinary calls. I had to turn phone off-on, and it was fine. Tried internet again, and did the same problem, but now it also turned off.

I left a bit charging, and tried intenet again, it was working. My idea was, that I discharged the phone quicker, than it could charge. I don't think it's possible, but it looked like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striker456:
I am not thinking this is an app problem. When I go over to my friends place which has brutal signal it freezes all the time there. I won't have any apps running except 3gwatchdog and the accuweather app. I will reboot and it will have frozen again in ~15min.

I am so iritated by this. It has been happening to me since I got my phone. I returned my first one to Bell canada in Leduc, and now I live in Edmonton, and it is still happening on my second phone (5 - 20 times a day).

I called bell, and they told me that they have had one other person who came in with the problem (the leduc store) and said that after the lady updated her firmware with KIES (which is a whole other problem in itself as the software barely works with the SGS) then her problem went away.

From what I am reading, these firmware updates do nothing for you guys, right? They have no fuc*ing idea what is going on, and they are just telling people that there is a fix available, and there isnt one! What the hell kind of customer support is that? They can not tell people that there is a firmware update out that that fixes the problem, when they have not tested it, nor do they realy know about the problem! Fuc*ing employees, just talking out there asses to get me to get off the phone and stop bugging them. Its realy pissing me off.

I cant even send this second phone in now for a third one becuase it has been just over 30 days. Not that I would.... Im sure that would not fix the problem what so ever.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestbeancounter:
Updating firmware didn't do anything for me.. I went from JG9 to JH2 and it didn't change a thing.

Oh and the replacement date has been changed to 60 days. I read it on Hofo and then I asked my friend at Bell and he confirmed that it is indeed the case. So if you really want to get rid of it, you still got time!

Right, a new thought. But first here are my Applications (please keep in mind I installed them all at once from AppBrain once I saw a stock reset phone was still at least rebooting over and over, ie, I had given up):

I am wondering how many of us are using the APN settings provided by Samsung here. Before my Galaxy S on German T-Mobile I used a Motorola Milestone, a phone they do not sell and as such I had to sniff out my own APN settings over several weeks.

The Galaxy S however, despite coming from another country and being unlocked had automatic APN settings as soon as my SIM was put in. Usually Telekom provide these by MMS, but this was not the case. I think Samsung have an index of them built in, afterall it would not take up much space.

Tonight at work I am going to copy down the APN defaults and delete them, replace them with my previous settings and see if there is any difference. At first glance they do appear to be the same but we will see.

As of now I am up 83 hours with only WiFi and no APN. Not a single issue. Well, barring FS lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestbeancounter:
It makes me wonder if it's the 3G coverage of Calgary as well. I'd be walking while looking at my phone and sometimes I will notice that my 3G coverage just dies, and then it'll instantly come back after I take a couple more steps.. so could it possibly that TO has better 3G coverage than Calgary? Did you notice any dip in 3G connectivity at all in Toronto?

I just find it odd that it could remotely be location based, as I highly doubt there's any difference in regards to how the 3G network was setup in Calgary compared to Toronto, so the only thing I can think of at the moment is that Calgary's coverage is just not as good (perhaps lack of towers), which triggers the jump between 3G and no 3G, which triggers (possibly other reasons as well) the coma state.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
there are many 3G dead spot in Toronto as well, specially if you only have 1900 band

if you have both 1900 and 850 chances are less, but there are still area of very poor reception for 3G

like you can make phone calls, but not get any data at all, even though it says 3G/H

funny thing is, i've yet to see the phone switch to EDGE (2G), it suppose to fall back to 2G if there is no good 3G/H

but instead of falling back to 2G or G, it remains on 3G/H without any data flow.

Best places to test this go into any walmart, most walmart stores have horrible reception or not reception at all inside

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestbeancounter:
I just got offered a DOA from my buddy at Bell since they just got a new batch of SGS in.. I think I might just do a DOA just to get a new phone and see what happens.. although more than likely it feels like it's a software issue and that switching phones won't help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertumus:
Guys i cannot 100% confirm that is APN, but 28h without shuting down is succes for me. Also, please be informed that i didnt use app APNon/off since i have app quick settings that allows me to on/off APN.

On the second hand maybe it is not APN (mobile data), maybe it is some proces in background (some app) that constantly using mobile internet for sync for anything, to cause comma state.

It is something connected to mobile data and somehow apn off solve it. It is really pity since this beautiful phone is about to be constantly onlne....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

What caused your phone to go down after 28 hours?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJNutty:
Can you find a location that brings your HSPA signal down to one and then zero bars? My phone actually locked up me in my basement last night while I was on a call. It dropped the call and the phone locked. When the phone locked up, I could hear a high pitch noise from the earpiece.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade496:
Location?

I've been lurking on this thread for a bit trying to solve the problem with both mine and my wife's SGS.

As for theories on location. I'm in Calgary. When I first got the phone all was well for about 2 weeks. Then when I went up to Edmonton, the phone started freezing up, usually in low signal areas. Now back in Calgary it happens all the time (in low signal areas).

I was wondering if the fact that Bell doesn't have Edge that might be doing it? It sees a low 3.5G signal tries to take the step down but can't? Dunno, just spitballing.

Turning off data did help though, but that pretty much makes my 6GB add on useless. If I was going to keep turning off Data I would make due with 500MBs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertumus:
Hehe my phone isnt down. In the time i was posting was 28h and now its 30h and counting more. Still no automatic shutdown when APN is off.

Threads like this should not be posted in development. This is general, where posts like this should be made. Moved to general as not development.

Secondly, a search of the forum will reveal this question being asked and answered countless times by various people.

I shall repeat the answer on this occasion.

Nobody yet is working on a sense froyo ROM for the hero. If/when a suitable device gets it (mytouch 3g slide or possibly wildfire/legend) a port will be attempted.

The device needs to be based on the same ARM architecture as the hero.

No froyo yet uses this.

Please search before posting as per the forum rules.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jcarrz1:
wildfire is qvga, so that's a no go.

options are:

legend

huangshan

aria

mt3g slide

Probably not the huangshan, that's on 1.6 sense now. Hvga though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rampantandroid:
Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out if I want to just return my captivate and go back to my iphone, or if there's a way to deal with this thing.

My issues are basically:

Browser perfomance is ****, to say the least. Panning and zooming on most sites is painfully bad - XDA worst than pretty much any other site out there. When I try to type in the browser, I'll hit 10 keys, and 3 will show up...a few seconds later another 2 will be entered...etc. Zooming is bad, I don't know why. Panning just looks jerky/non-fluid.

Bluetooth: I have an Acura with the tech package, so having bluetooth work is kinda a requirement. However, every time I try to do anything bluetooth related, the phone slows to a crawl. If I hit the home softkey, it takes 1-2 minutes for the phone to go home. I eventually have to pull the battery to reset.

Data: Sometimes, it just drops totally. I'm sitting still with 4-5 bars, and suddely the marketplace won't load...or XDA won't load...try a second or third time and suddenly it loads fine. Unsure if this is just the marketplace (and XDA forums) being unreliable, or if the phone's data connection is just THAT bad.

GPS: I did the fixes in the "hidden" settings (supl settings and whatnot) and I now get fixes much faster, but they're always off. I seem to always be on AGPS, and not ever getting sattelite fixes...that, or the settelite fixes are just really as bad as AGPS is.

Perf in general: not so hot. Some things work well, some things will crawl at times.

Facebook: no push notifications? What?

I'm on the latest SRE, and I can flash back to the stock kernel if that'll help...

But in general, my opinion after slightly over a week is that this just feels like when I still played with Linux a few years ago - a toy. Nothing for general consumption, nothing for someone who just wants it to work - and feel free to tell me I'm wrong, I'm still not totally decided and have another 3 weeks to return this...but I'm hard pressed to find a reason to keep using this instead of going back to my iphone. A wireless AP is amazing, but that's the only thing I keep coming back to...and who knows, a jailbroken iPhone might be capable of that?

Thanks for all the thelp!

RA
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
Are you using JF6 (the stock baseband that came with the phone)? because that one is miserably slow.

switch to JH3 and then flash SRE... it'll feel like an entirely different phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuxingwarrior3:
I felt the same way until I flashed several firmwares and applied different mods/lag fixes. You have to find what's right for you. It seems that Samsung may have skimped on the software side but they didn't hold back with hardware. With the new voodoo lag fix that's coming out soon, froyo, an official GPS fix, and promising android development for the Captivate, I'd say we're starting to realizing the true potential of this phone. I've never used bluetooth nor do I have any problems with data. You may have a bad phone... Perhaps you should exchange it for another and see if that remedies some problems? The ball is in your court but I could not bare to go back to the iPhone (I've been using it since it came out).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongothemagnificent:
Wrong section of the captivate forum to be asking questions, theres a proper section for that..., about your issues most are plassebo, try flashing a i9000 rom and give it another try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rampantandroid:
I'll give that a try then - I did just have to call ATT though to have them put me back onto the iPhone plan, since I'm doing a trip tomorrow and will want a working phone...I'll try flashing a few more things...but tbh, I keep reading about Froyo and GPS fixes...I saw posts about a GPS fix going out a month ago...when will it actually happen?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmik67:
I totally agree with the earlier posts about trying other setups before giving up on it. I LOVE my setup. UCJH3 firmware, SREv1.2.1a, Tayutama's Lagfix4. All can be found on threads here.Do it step by step and you will see a HUGE difference. The only thing that will still suck, I think, is the GPS. I find mine very erratic. But everything else is great and almost no lag.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Most of your issues are non-existent on the stock ROM - so either you borked something while customizing or your phone has a hardware issue.

The browser should work without issue. GPS is broken, and none of the fixes do much so that we have to wait on Samsung.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
The phone is in its infancy. Remember ios 2 on the 3g? Well apple learned a lot and there software is always polished. You may want to wait for the next android support phones. Apple did a good job this time around but the touch screen interface needs too many steps and the home screens are too cluttered I want to put icon any where putting them in groupings helps my eyes and brain navigate. I'll trade the gps and a few bugs for that any day. Phones are supposed to be intuitive, the iphone may be easy but I'll argue all day that is not intuitive. Android may be less easy but I can make it intuitive, it takes a little time and a few market apps though. That's why I chose this phone, but I don't knock iphone users, just the fanboys.

If you like to tinker ands it sounds like you do you may just get addicted to this thing.

The data problems may be do to the stock software, do a reflash of jh3, with the original I couldn't switch from wifi to edge or the other way around without killing the app and restarting it. I haven't noticed that problem lately with jh2

[Droid 2 General] SirPyros:
Has anyone figured this out? I can view the settings using QPST but I can't change them. Everytime I try to it resets to the original settings. Too bad there isn't a built in app on the phone like on HTC devices. My friend has a Droid Incredible and was able to change the setting the moment he got the OTA update to 2.2 by dialing ##778.

I know that you can root and use the wifi tether apps but those are ad-hoc connections and I believe the built-in Mobile Hotspot app creates an infrastructure connection.

I already pay for unlimited data, I refuse to give Verizon $20 more.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Tab General] Anderdroid:
I'm sure the Galaxy Tab will be slightly more powerful... But I can't believe by much.

The Archos Tablets are coming out late September-mid October.

There will be many different sizes... 10.1", 7", 4.3"... etc.

I see people saying the Galaxy tab will cost more than 600$. That's absurd.

All of Archos's tablets are <$300

I own a Vibrant, and believe me, I love it. But I personally will be getting an Archos 10.1 ;). $299 isn't asking for much.

What do you think.

http://www.archos.com/products/ta/index.html?country=us&lang=en

Of course I am expecting some sort of hack to run the Market on the Archos... that's honestly the only down side but not necesarily a deal breaker.
[Galaxy Tab General] mesasone:
I would be really hesistant to get an Archos tablet - they've been putting these out for a little while now, but their track record has not been great. Maybe this will change with their new designs - I hadn't heard or read up on the Archos 70 - but they just released the Archos Home 7 a few months ago, and it was not particularly well received.

EDIT: The Archos spec sheet says they are using an ARM A8 based processor, so it could be on par with the A8-based Hummingbird in terms of CPU power - no mention of what GPU is being used though. The GPU on the Hummingbird is an absolute (mobile) beast.
[Galaxy Tab General] Anderdroid:
I honestly was about to buy a Z-180 til i heard of the Archos.

And yes... the GPU on the Galaxy S's are supreme...

10.1" Galaxy Tab = king. 7" is too small for me for a tablet. Tablet = halfway between smart phone and netbook. 7" tablet = halfway between smartphone and tablet. Lol
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Spec wise, id say the Gtab has a great edge just because of its on board gpu. What you need to think about is how much of a difference that makes to you.

If you just want normal stuff, then no big deal. If you want to play 3d games or play true high def content then the Tab looks way better. If not then well.... The opposite.

Personally I think the archos is just for watching stuff, and the Tab is more of a daily driver.

I wouldn't think about pricing just yet, because until we get numbers from samsung, everything is bull****. Just cast it from your mind.

For me, the Tab is the right size. The appeal is that it'll fit in a coat pocket, or you can just toss out into a bag. 10 inches is huge (anyone who just smirked: shame on you!) and although the nice big screen is ok at home, to me its just impractical in public, particularly since you have to grasp it, not just let it rest in your hand.

Finally, does the archos have a phone in it? That would make.a difference to me to be honest.
[Galaxy Tab General] Anderdroid:
Yeah it's all down to personal preference about 7" or 10"... A tablet would be more of an 'at-home' thing for me... My phone is for the go aha.

I'm sure the Archos would be able to handle some 3d games though. We'll see...

They both hop on the 1GHz. I don't know much about Archos GPU though.
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Oh yeah, the archos should handle the games and stuff as well as an equivalently specced phone, its certainly no slouch. Just the tab is 'better'.
