[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valeo:
There's a thread in the SGS General sub-forum about this particular bug (the topic title is "[Q] Why my Galaxy S turns it self off!!!"). In essence, it's a common fault that a factory restore or new SIM can allegedly fix. Failing that contact Samsung as PaulForde recommended.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertumus:
Thank you. I will follow that thread to see if anyone offer some solution for this issue
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold_sprinter:
I too am having ym phone reboot randomly. It only started recently, I was flashing several different firmwares. I could not find one I liked. I now have

pda: wjm7,

Phone: jm3,

and csc:BMCJH2.

My phone turns off 2 or 3 times a day too. I am pretty sure it is not a hardware issue as I did not have this issue until I flashed to certain firmwares. I could be wrong but I did not experience this with the stock firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] Mad Marc:
Hi Guys!

I try to rename some of the Favorites on my People Tab. Most Favorites are Friends and Family, but some are Company related. For those I would like Sense to show either the lastname or the Company. Is this possible? In Outlook the Favorites have a tag in the note like this:

<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->

<Favorite>actionid:CallWork</Favorite>

<Facebook></Facebook>

</HTCData>

But the name displayed in Sense is not in there.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pissywhissy:
hi,

after i uninstalled the app "launcher pro" on my rooted phone, i wouldnt be able to go back to the home screen of the captivate. It would just be a white screen with nothing on it. I couldn't click the setting button so i just installed launcher pro again so that i can see my home screen again and then used the setting button again to do the "restore to factory condition".

After that, it only became worse..the default is a black screen(i can't make phone calls/text/and everything else you'd need form home screen" and i always get this error whenever i try and do something such as simply trying to search for an app.

"Sorry!.. The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201009100122_android_process_acore.l og has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log."

and it only has an option to force close.

Help would be very much appreciated. This situation has got me pretty worried.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
An App wouldn't do this. When you rooted your phone did you install clockwork recovery and do a nandroid back up? Try restoring THAT and then install launcher pro.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
the fact that your phone boots at all proves it isn't a brick of any kind. like gunny said, if you have a nandroid backup, restore that. if you don't, I'd suggest using Odin to restore to a stock version of the ROM and restart from there (and make a backup!)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pissywhissy:
Unfortunatley i didnt install those two apps but i def will if i fix this.

There was also a mistake in my post.. Instead "can" make calls,text, etc... I really meant can't. Sorry for the typo.

Ill look into odin once i have time. Thx guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
I did this myself. You need to be careful with launchers and lockscreen programs. Before you uninstall something you should restore touchwiz as default.

For future reference go into setting> applications> manage applications

Hit the menu button > filters > show all.

Find the launcher, in your case launcher pro and clear defaults.

Hit home> tick use as default> select twlauncher.

There may be a way to correct what you have now but I have no idea where you would find the setting if you where able to view the file system from a pc.

Now that you know what not to do as well a what to do, go flash your phone with odin and don't do that again.

Ps. you'd think google or samsung would have a fail safe in the code to revert to the android stock launcher in the event of certain errors.

Also the app "home switcher" might make the process easier.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pissywhissy:
can someone help me out with the odin, i cant find the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
have you been to the 1st post of the related threads in the developer forums?

The one click Odin stock firmware recovery is packaged with the file - it is Odin and ROM all rolled into one - one click as the name suggests.

If you are trying to flash a different ROM, then the files and related links are listed in the Eclair Froyo thread. It depends what version of what you want. The first post of the related thread has step by step directions and links.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunja99:
Hi all. U want to upgrade my 8GB to either 16 or 32GB (want more music for the car!)

I have stock orange ROM (2.1), no root, no nothing (I will when S-OFF is done with unrevoked, but more on that another time!)

Anyways, I have a few apps and data, etc. Is it a case of buying the new card, removing 8GB card from Phone (switch it off first) and copying everything off the current card using windows and then copying onto the 32GB, and then shove back in phone and switch on?

I had heard about encrypted stuff, etc, so wanted to make sure it was as simple as this as I hope! I know my apps are on the internal memory.

Thanks

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] JessJames:
Hey guys.

I tried to install this using Clockworkmod recovery... all seemed well... I can reboot into it and the status bar has changed to the lovely shiny look this new mod has...However, as soon as I unlock the screen the phone goes nuts... everything force closes... from ADW, to the core android process, to the logger process. Basically it seems like every process running force closes, restarts, force closes, so I can't get to my home screen... I just have perpetually force closing dialogue boxes to click.

I have to restore my nandroid backup to get out of it.

Anyone have any idea why this might be ? I would love to be able to install this.

Cheers

Hi all,

I have an unrooted Motorola Milestone with stock 2.1 update 1 version of Android.

I am kinda noob at rooting, etc., but I guess i'll learn all of that with the help of this forum.

As of now, I want suggestions about which 2.2 rom shall I select from the following:

1. Dexter's Moto Blur

2. Dexter's Moto Frenzy

3. Dexter's Moto Sense

I have purchased my Milestone from India & live in India. I need my camera to work along with the Android Market, MotoNav & Apps2SD. These are my primary needs.

Kindly suggest me the best ROM from the above list.

Help would be truly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mourning_zero:
Q: I'm traveling in Japan and thought it would be cool to use the (albeit wonky) GPS on the Captivate while I'm here. Problem is that all of the satellites that it finds are directly polar north. It can find up to 8 or so in the sky, but never gets a lock, I am presuming because they are so close together relative to my position.

It seems to me like it's still trying to lock sats over the US. I've tried updating to the google supl, and setting my pool.ntp.org to the jp.pool.ntp.org servers, forcing Cold start, removing wireless network fix, hard resets, delete GPS data. No changes so far, and I'm kind of at a loss.

Can anyone think of why this behavior is ocurring and how I might try to fix it?
[General Topics] allthrottle:
I'm just about at the end of the return period for my upgrade and would like to get a couple of solid opinions on this. I know not a lot is set in stone on the g2, but seeing it listed already on the tmobile site earlier is starting to make me think twice about getting it.

I like the vibrant, but could do with a camera flash and quicker support as far as firmware and updates. It's a little sluggish at times, but I'm sure an update would help cure that. I love the screen and unlike others, I really like how it feels in my hand. I like the g2's camera flash, quicker data capability and I feel like it may get more love from the manufacturer and developers. I don't care about a sliding keyboard, kind of feel like having anything below the screen (like a trackpad) is wasted space and makes the phone larger, and don't like the slightly smaller screen.

What are your thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!
[General Topics] Aldonski:
I think the vibrant has to many pro's on the g2. I wouldn't even consider buying the g2 over the vibrant (or any galaxy s phone)

The minor lag issue that galaxy s phones have will soon come to a complete fix.

Hardware-wise it's not even in the same class.
[General Topics] paolobabe99:
I love my vibrant but I think I'm gonna upgrade my phone to the G2. The processor is slower and the internal memory isnt much, but how many times do you really actually use the phones' processor to the limit. The screen clarity is amazing but I'm willing to give that up for this phone. Like you said you would probably get more love from manufacturer and developers, plus its HSPA.
[General Topics] piscesjoey:
My G/F is really set on getting the G2, even though I told her numerous times that that she should get the Vibrant or at least wait until November for the supposed to be released MyTouch HD, but she just gotta have a keyboard.
[General Topics] Arcadia310:
I was in a similar situation until I saw the G2's specs. Even then I debated on stock android, but I don't need the extra bulk of the keyboard.

To simply put it, you can't read WVGA screens in broad daylight. Being a college student, it's a novelty to be able to see my screen with perfect clarity when the suns out. Super Amoled has an advantage over everything else.

To anyone dumping their Vibrant for the G2, you will be sorry you did it. How could you call that an upgrade?

The G2 weighs more and is thicker than the Epic 4G, funny huh. Oh, and it only has a 1300mAh battery. Overclock that thing to 1ghz and you will drain FAST.
[General Topics] allthrottle:
That's what I was thinking too after looking over the pictures some more. It does look much thicker and bulkier from the side profile shots, and a smaller battery can never be a good thing, especially when it's definitely going to get overclocked.

Also unlike other people, I like that it resembles an Iphone 3gs. I've always wanted one, but wouldn't want to go to At&t or use it unlocked on T-Mobile and didn't like the lack of customization.

Guess I'll just be sticking it out with the Vibrant. Thanks for the input guys :)

Hi,i have a question: it's possible to port the Xperia X10 interface on galaxy s?

Thanks!!!! :D :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
That would probably be troublesome, especially since the X10 still runs only Android 1.6
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brio94:
Ok, but when we will be upgrading to Eclair?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3loaded2010:
The X10 will be getting Eclair at the end of this year - and by that time, we SGS owners will be rocking Froyo! SE are so behind the curve, it's almost a running joke now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Not only behind the curve, but:

1) The X10 started shipping with 1.6. However, on the date it started shipping, Google had already shipped Android 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.

2) Since they started shipping, Android 2.2 was also released.

It's absolutely insane, but expected. From experience with SE's previous phones, SE are known for differentiating their mobiles using software (their walkman phones were EXACTLY the same hardware as their cheaper phones, with a walkman application and a few tweaks), so it will be interesting to see if they continue to screw X10 customers in a similar fashion.

Anyway, I think by the time they get 2.1, we might even possibly have gingerbread

Hi hi :)

I was just wondering.. Is it legal to cook fonts like Segoe UI or Droid sans in your public ROMs? Also, is it legal to perhaps cook in an apple startup sound or something similiar? Lastly, how legal is it to cook ROMs? Is it a gray area in any way?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Cooking its not Legal at all, WindowsMobile and HTC are trademarks.
[Windows Mobile] seeM_ZA:
If that's the case, wouldn't this site have been closed down quite a while ago?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Did you read some times agò about Conflipper against HTC?

Or Da_G that was PMed by a WM investigator and was asked to delet his WM builds shared?

I guess XDA Developers site it is not responsable to whatever their users shares in the site......ill try to find the TOS and see what is write about.
[Windows Mobile] seeM_ZA:
Yeah I heard about that, not the Da_G part though.. That's why I'm pretty confused.

Then why does warez get removed instantly?

Also, this site is pretty large (and old), so why have MS only contacted those two people?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Yeah..you are right

This is the TOS point 9.....im confused too now,lol

9. Don't get us in trouble.

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
[Windows Mobile] pkoper:
Thats only the very recent history.

I remember when roms/builds were hosted on the xda ftp.

MS eventualy asked to have them removed from xda servers.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
Unless the site gets too close to something new, or there are 3rd party issues forcing them to act, I would imagine MS benefits more from the site as it is.

They get a very active community of beta testers and a loyal community of phone purchasers - a lot of whom are like this because they always want the latest stuff. Hence they will (often) also want the latest phones. Hence it counteracts the problem of them delaying purchases by putting new os's on old phones.

Driving it underground would not stop the activity and only really annoy the users.

It will be interesting to see if they change their policy as WP7 comes in and WM6.5 fades out....
[Windows Mobile] c_shekhar:
If you are new here, perhaps you may not be aware that the MS forced XDA_Developers to remove all the cooked ROMs from its FTP store. Before that all the cooked ROMs were hosted on the XDA-Developer's FTP store.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
Yeah but apart from technically enforcing their rights how did that slow down XDA after a week or two? If they really wanted to hurt XDA they could do much more.

I think everyone that replies should encourage people to search for themselves and put things in the proper forums.

[Captivate General] Shovelhead84:
I do notice the large amount of people that seem to ask questions that have already been covered or start cloned threads that do not need repeated. You could view it as overly eager people who want to jump into the community before getting to know it or as people to lazy to do a search and/or read some existing threads.

Either way, I always felt ignoring the post seems to be a better option than making a negative comment. I think you are correct in saying this does not "foster a growing community."

Do keep in mind that it is sometimes hard to search for the correct answer or how to word a question when you are new to a subject. Back in my first few weeks of XDA on my old tilt, I felt a bit bombarded by new terminology and confusing tutorials. More experienced members should be able to determine if an OP is partialy ignorant or just plain lazy. I say when in doubt, ignore it.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Good post, Shovelhead. I agree with your comments.

I think another factor is that just now many people are just being introduced to smart phones. And that in turn probably is causing many new forum users to come on board. I mean new to forums, period. So they may not know the methods, and protocols expected.

It's interesting that I see in many forums that some people will expend more effort griping or castigating someone than it would take to just answer the question, or ignore the post/thread if it is one that doesn't interest them.

I actually am not familiar with the ignore option. I presumed that would just ignore if they sent you PM messages.

Can someone Google that for me? :eek:
[Captivate General] Shovelhead84:
In efforts to prevent confusion, I was referring to a personal ability to ignore. I have not used any ignore features through the forum. I am currently ignorant to these features.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
I put them on ignore so I don't say something banworthy to them. It's the best form of self moderation for me.
[Captivate General] SetiroN:
I understand your point, but having the developement section tampered with unnecessary threads hampers its readability. And to many it is fundamental to keep up with multiple threads in there.

I'm not the kind of person that goes around bashing new users, but I did notice an increase in such threads lately, and although "thread nazis" can be just as annoying, don't forget there's no personal gain for them in it: they're just trying to keep the forum as clean and readable as possible.

I mean, there is a reason to have a Q&A section: using it would actually make it resourceful for newcomers while keeping developement clean.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
I actually would say there haven't been many "thread nazis" in the Captivate forums. I read development for the most part and there are MANY questions (hell half of them start with [Q] that have NOTHING to do with development, people just want a question answered for them) that just belong in Q&A.

Most of the people (most, not all) tell people that they are in the wrong section but usually still provide the answer in hopes of letting the thread die. asking how a command works in adb does not count as captivate-specific android development.

it's important to remind people that the development section should be left for DEVELOPING android on the phone or TESTING new developments on the phone (or thinktanks and the occasional request for apps that would have to be dev'd to get functional)
[Captivate General] boborone:
Has anybody tried to use the search since the redesign? All my searches come up with a hundred pages of nothing remotely related to what I searched for, and that's using all combinations of the advanced search. At least for me it's useless now.
