first, thanks to the community for all your hard work on roms, kernels, root methods, updates, themes and many more.

My current Evo setup:

Fresh 3.2 pre-public release.

netarch's kernel cfs

RA_1.8

2.2 Rooting Instructions.

This tutorial will show you how to convert your videos to h264 which is natively supported by the evo. Original sample files are .mkv, final converted video is .m4v.

Perfect sweet spot for -best- quality vs storage capacity

Step 1). Grab Handbrake. handbrake[dot]fr/downloads[dot]php

Step 2). Install Handbrake.

Step 3). Launch Handbrake.

Step 4). Top left, select "Source->Video File"

View attachment 395854

Step 5). Select the "Apple Universal preset"

View attachment 395855

Step 6). Output Settings, Container "MP4 File" should be selected. Destination, find a spot to drop the converted file, use "Browse" button.

View attachment 395856

We use the universal preset as a template to build a custom one. Simple steps, infact only two areas will be addressed on this tricks post. The "Video" and "Picture" tabs.

Our source sample reveals these details: --- .720p.BluRay.DTS.x264 --- : out in the wild.

--Length is approximately 1min 10secs, use your imagination.

-Video-

Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (Part 10)(avc1)

Resolution: 1280 x 544

Frame Rate: 23.976215

-Audio-

Codec: DTS Audio (dts)

Sample Rate: 48000 Hz

Bitrate: 1536 kb/s

------------ My first test settings -------------------

Step 7). Picture tab should look like this, Width set at 832, Anamorphic: Loose. That is all you need to touch.

View attachment 395857

Step 8). Video Codec: H.264(x264) :: Constant Quality: Set at 70.1% RF:15.25

View attachment 395858

Step 9). Either "Add to Queue" and/or "Start" your encoding...

View attachment 395859

Settings above resulted with a video that was 1.8GB in size, a running time of 1hr 42mins, encoding ran for about 44mins. Original source file was 4.7GB

Original sample filesize: 53.5MB, calculate the ratios accordingly. :)

--------Some templates----------

Template: God Of War

Width: 1280 :: Picture Tab

Constant quality: 70.1% :: Video Tab

Size: 53.5MB

--------------------------------

Template: Athena

Width: 1024 :: Picture Tab

Constant quality: 65.2% :: Video Tab

--------------------------------

Template: Supersonic -- As sweet as it gets. :)

Width: 832 :: Picture Tab

Constant quality: 70.1% :: Video Tab

Size: 19.89MB

--------------------------------

According to my evo setup above,

1. Open ES File Explorer,

2. Select the video file,

3. Open As Video,

4. Choose ES Video Player

[EVO 4G General] dcrin3:
I would recommend dropping the quality a little below 70% because the files will GET BIG and FAT! Unless you have like multiple 32GBs laying around... otherwise save some space by going with slightly less quality.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
Has anyone tried this on a regular TV? I am kicking myself....I got ONE perfect conversion. Looks amazing on the EVO and on my 42 inch (via win7 MCE). I can't remember what I did other than setting the target file size to 1.5 gig. I like the idea of not needing two copies of everything I make.

That'll teach me for screwing around at work and not making notes.

Good point! ...anyone know which particular settings above will provide the best video on tv while still playing smooth like a dvd via the hdmi out?

[Legend Android Development] Briix:
I know Motoblur never became a big success, but with the new 2.1 version I thought it would be worth trying out on my Legend. Unfortunately there is no motoblur port, so it would make me very happy if someone would try port it or teach me how to do the porting stuff (at least, how to try and make it work).

I'm not saying that this is possible, probably isn't, but it would be very nice to be able to try it out on the Legend!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NezumiYaro:
How i get into recovery mode is by restarting the phone by holding the power button and continuously tapping all 3 Home +power+ vol up at the same time

And if it works it will go into the recovery mode before the screen changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
see if you can boot into recovery mode

wiki has instruction to get into recovery mode http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M

once in recovery mode, try the data wipe option, also the cache wipe option

then reboot back to normal

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nalinbhatt:
I had the same problem...Currently Samsung is 'repairing' my phone. Instead of going through all this trouble, I would rather suggest you to go and exchange it.

If they dont replace the phone for you, just call samsung social hub help desk (1-888-751-4078). They will give you a ticket number and then you can send your phone to samsung via any Bell corporate store.

The samsung social hub guy told me that it would take 5 business day to repair but the person at Bell store told me that it can take 2-6 weeks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patj3:
I'm in the same boot as you, altough i'm in a different country.

nevertheless, same sh*t

I did however discovered today that when I start the phone, connected trough usb, I does detect what seems to be a part of the phone, have a look at this image (was done on a XP virtual machine, but my WIN7 does the same.

I get a G: and a H: in the device manager.

But I cannot access those, maybe or maybe not, this might be our only hope, before I send it back.

But I refuse to give up (yet)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xZeDgEx:
Exact same problem you had. Phone would not load past Galaxy S logo. I did not hack or root my phone either. Seems this is becoming a larger issue. Recovery mode was disabled on my phone too. It is now with Bell being sent for repair. I would suggest you do the same, I wasted 3 days trying to get the phone into recovery mode to no avail. If Bell has any in stock they may swap for you. They did not when I took mine in unfortunately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamasboy32:
Wow thanks :) 5 business days is acceptable. I'm currently back on my Windows Mobile device as a back up phone for now. I will definitely give them a call first thing tomorrow morning!

This is what concerns me going down the road. Any of you recall the Samsung Instict? aka Iphone Killer.. "roll eyes" Could it be that Samsung didn't put enough research and development into the Operating System/ Hardware and deployed the Galaxy S series prematurely? One can only ponder...

To be continued...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamasboy32:
Hey patj3, it seems you have a better chance than the rest of us. Attempt to delete or uninstall what you highlighted in yellow, unplug device, reboot computer and before you plug the device, Install the latest kies software from Samsung and allow it to fully install. It's missing drivers and is unable to recognize the unit. search "[GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs" here in XDA.

Good luck, I may be throwing the towel as early as tomorrow :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamasboy32:
Thanks for the feedback..

I know, my mind is about to explode!

Unfortunately, I'm pass the 14 days/ 30 minutes requirement for Bell's D.O.A policy and sending the device out for repair is my only option.

Post back and let us know your repair experience with Bell and their turn around time.

I had the exact same problem except I rooted it and it was after I applied a lag fix but luckily it wasn't even a week before I got the phone so I just brought it in and bell gave me a new one on the spot lol. Hope you can get it repaired.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elena11:
The same problem here also. I did not root it or put anything aftermarket. Only unlocked it with a code. Bestbuy did not want to do anything because it is 4 days pass the 30 day mark, not talking about the 14 days 30 min. I spoke to Samsung support and they told me to go to Bell store and have it sent for repair. I did complain to Samsung that it is unacceptable to have a 34 day use of a device and 2 months for repair. Now I am waiting for the superviser of the tech suppoert to call me by the end of the day today, but no news from hem yet. Tomorrow first thing in the morning I am calling again Samsung to look for the superviser of the superviser.

P.S. Bell did not ask me for an account number of phone number with them. Only took $47.00 in case if there was a water or mechanical domage. It is refundable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
thats the refund policy. doa is 30 days on the spot replacement as long as it says i9000m on the logo before it gets stuck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fnakfhe:
What if they dont have it in stock?

That was case with me,

so i went to another bell corporate store,

they send me away, claiming that only the place you got it from can replace it.

its been now 20 days with the phone, and the guy (bell corporate location) does not have it in stock,

he says he does not know when he can get it.

so i dont know if there is truly a shortage, but that is what they are telling me.

help.

if it makes you feel any better

I've had one on order through my corp plan at work for over a week, usually if quantities are low it will say so on the ordering site, or it will say on backorder, well it didn't, they don't have them, supposed to get a shipment this week, shipment hasn't arrived yet.

this will be my 2nd crack at a Vibrant, the first one was riddled with small yet important issues as well as the GPS didn't work. Hoping for a better one this time, if not I'll try and get a 'Desire Z' down the road.

same boat

I'm having the same exact problem, except I'm in the u.s. with an unlocked version. Worked great for 2 weeks. And then Google Voice went into a force quit/restart loop.. and now the phone won't go past the the Galaxy S logo. Can't find anyway to get into recovery mode. Since I can't take this to a Bell store, is there anything I can do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xZeDgEx:
Got mine back from repair today. About two weeks total. (Bell)

Repair ticket says:

"Replaced major component part, Full SW upgrade/PRL & Phone Reset"

Seems to be ok so far. Have not tried 3 button mode, I am actually scared of it crapping out again lol. :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
first off sometimes they sre lying so check availability before you mention doa. second did you get it frm corporate store.then any corporate has to replace it if they have stock. same goes for resellers. you can get doa if bougg

ht in bbuy then any bbuy etc. 20 dayslol you would have gotten it faster feom repair...maybe still 20 days...r u still in 30 days then? i would raise hell by now. personally had 2 doa and replaced no problem now repair option only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
i could bet that major component is internal sd. too many of those cases crapping out on bell version. check 3 button. there is nothing you can do with that combo that will kill the phone and if it doesnt work it is ceap anyways as it is only a matter of time when youll have to use it or send back for repair.

I am i Montreal. I left mine for repair on Wednesday, and the dumb guy from Bell calls me on Friday to tell me that Samsung needs a copy of the original bill. So I am another 3 days stuck with Iphone 3G. I hope by the 23rd of Sep ver 2.2 is out so at least Samsung flash it with it.

Also my wife has one unlocked with Fido and one day just locked itself. Good thing I had the unlock code saved on my computer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TorontoR:
same issue, tried calling every Bell store within a 30km radius, no one has stock. Bell corp store indicates they have extended DOA for this phone to 60 days with all the problems. Not exactly comforting as I feel when I do get a replacement I will have the same issue arise again. Quickly falling out of love with this damn phone...crapped out in 2 weeks! I'm missing my HTC Touch which has served me well for the past 3 years now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elena11:
I got mine back. They just reflashed it and it is Ok now. I also have the 3 buttons functions working.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgevision:
Same thing happened to me. Running official firmware, JH2, phone booted up and locked up when I tried to unlock the screen. I waited (thinking lag) for five minutes before holding power button until it shut off.

Rebooted, now it gets past first two screens but just black after. Capacitive buttons will light up but that's it. Recovery mode error about not being able to mount is the same. Tried reflashing, wiping, etc to no avail.

I have had my Vibrant for 1 week. This is my first non-HTC experience and I have to say, I'm pretty pissed off.

So tomorrow I will bring it in for exchange, hopefully. Thank god my Hero hasn't sold yet...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elena11:
With JH2 you should be able to recover it with the 3 button recover mode. Give it a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgevision:
What am I supposed to do in recovery? I've tried wipe of both data and cache.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elena11:
If factory reset does not fix your problem , then you have to go for repair.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgevision:
Yeah, and now I have to take it in to a crappy dealer. Not excited.

I read somewhere that on JPM it uses 3e recovery instead of 2e? And has an additional SD format option? Can anyone verify this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1chung:
yes, that is correct. flash jpm, and your 3e recovery mode will have an option to format the sdcard
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamasboy32:
Update

This is long overdue however you all deserve an update!

I ended up sending the device out for repair and go through the regular repair process for Bell Mobility. I spoke to Samsung directly however due to the repair policy implemented, it had to go through the carrier.

The repair took less than 2 weeks and this includes sending it out, getting it reflashed, repaired and shipped back! I was really happy with the turnaround time! Far better than the 3-6 weeks ETA given by Bell Mobility.

It seems Samsung is getting overwhelming concerns with the Internal SD being unstable.

The device was reflashed, Kernel Updated and an internal chip was replaced and I'm assuming it was the internal SD card. It didn't specify on the Repair report as to what was replaced.

This is now more common than not as I lurked in and out of forums.

If this happens to you, just send it out, relax and get it fixed!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elena11:
I had to wait more than 3 weeks. I had it reflashed and repair code 202 I have no idea what this is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff260z:
I had a very similar problem. My phone was stuck on the Galaxy S screen.

I had rooted the phone and installed doc's rom but during the install through clockworkmod I had checked the format? option and once I got into doc's froyo all of my programs and stuff was gone. I had backed up my bell rom so I tried to go back to it using clockworkmod recovery. I restored and my phone would not boot past opening screen. GT-I9000M would come up for a few seconds but then change to I9000. The three button would not work at first. I pulled the battery and still no go. I them used the other three button (power, volume down and home) and the green android guy with the shovel appeared. I then applied the regular three button and was able to get into recovery mode.

It may work for others so I thought I'd post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddy_ed11:
Try to see If you can get into the downloading mode by pressing the volume down, home button and power simultaneously. Before this make sure that your phone is completely turned off. When you do the above mentioned steps. The Samsung Galaxy S screen should come and as soon as it appears, let go of the buttons.

This should lead you into the download mode. If you can get into this then there might be some luck. That is if your phones internal sd card did not fry.

After this try getting your hands on Odin a program that is used to flash firmware into the device.

Go to http://www.samfirmware.com/firmwares.htm a leading site for all the firmwares out there. You might need to make an account to access the firmwares

Find the one that came stock on your phone, which im pretty sure its if your provider is bell. Others on the forum please do correct me if i am wrong.

[I9000BUJG2 #	512.PIT	Version 2.1	2010 July]

Once you download the file and have Odin open. click on PDA and open the file you just downloaded.

make sure your phone is on and plugged in to your computer and start flashing.

Make sure you have re-partion checked to wipe your phone clean.

If you need details, just reply to me.

Hope I helped you. I was once in your situation.

The end result was to send it back and get a new phone.

And just so you know I am currently on my 5th phone. I'm discouraged and want to contact bell headquarters so that i can switch to a different phone.

I hope they fix this internal failure with the bell models. its beyond frustrating.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamasboy32:
Wow

5th phone!

you know when I contacted Samsung, after the 3rd repair process, they will deal with you only then directly... you may be in luck now going forward because you can deal with Samsung and wouldnt have to go through BM to get it serviced..

I'm glad the device was replaced as opposed to getting it repaired

I recommend that you send an email directly to the current VP of BM customer service and file an executive complaint because that to me is unacceptable. The Galaxy S only came out back in June so that's what 4-5 months.. service phone every month? lol

You need to escalate above Frontline Customer agent, above Retention agent, above Help desk or supervisor agent, above team leader, above team manager, until it reaches the right channel... your best bet is to email using the contact us page from the online site off Bell.ca if this ever happen to you again to get their attention

I am actually in the same predicament few months ago and will be trying a jig fix and hopefully will fix the issue and get myself back in the download mode, I lost the recovery/download mode and attempted the recommended key strokes and adb recovery doesnt allow my device to go back to recovery...

The battle continues
