[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prostheta:
This has been covered elsewhere in the forum. I downloaded the XDA-recommended one-click lax fix and root app from the marketplace, asked it to root my phone and since I couldn't use 3BR, downloaded the Android SDK. I then used ADB to force the phone into recovery (also documented on XDA) and - as the French say - hot damn. :-D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] curls1:
I had this problem so went back to my local T-Mobile shop and told them they exchanged it there and then so I try'd it in store , it had the same problem so tryd a 3rd and the was fine 3 botton no problem !!!

my advice exchange the phone !!!!!:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
If you read around the forum, you will see that many (all?) people have reported that even if the 3BR is not working *normally*, it somehow starts working after they bricked.

So it makes me wonder if the 3BR SPL is like this on purpose, and it is only enabled in the event that the bootloader does not load.

If that is indeed the case, then we don't have much to worry about. It is hard to experiment with though without risking your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prostheta:
Excellent. King Edward St. or Princes Quay? ;-) I'm a Hull lad myself, born on the Hessle Road fishing village before they turned it into factories and warehouses.

Good to see that it seems some carriers are replacing handsets with no questions asked. Did they give you any clues as to whether it was a recognised issue or not? The chance of this being a Samsung problem sounds more plausible now than it being a carrier disablement request. If I get the opportunity to test several handsets in-store at DNA when (if?) mine is replaced, I'll try and note the serial numbers for reference....what's the pattern again? xx----- where "xx" is the relevant portion?

Perhaps now this is a recognised issue worldwide regardless of serial or carrier, etc. the several threads on this topic need bringing into one provisional FAQ or something, with relevant info collected on results on carrier replacement policies, or whatever? Given that Samsung have been churning out many thousands of SGS's due to the overwhelming demand, there will no doubt be a huge number of these disabled handsets in the wild for some time to come and plenty continuing to come out of the woodwork, especially if the release of Froyo for the SGS doesn't solve 3BR disablement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] curls1:
with out the 3 botton mode means you wont get froyo !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prostheta:
Not entirely....although I've never updated firmware via KIES myself, I think that would push Froyo onto the phone, although without 3BR it is in all likelihood that any mishaps would result in bricking.

True. If I hadn't have returned my handset to DNA, I could comment on the long-term affects of bootscreen looping and any affects on 3BR becoming active. Since mine technically wasn't a brick with the #>! or whatever, it might not have triggered any latent 3BR activity. I'll see what DNA's response is to my rejection of the handset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mengsuan:
I don't think so. Using Kies, these phones can still get Froyo update.

I hope it's true, then I wouldn't have to worry much.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
Well, as i said earlier, i spoke to a samsung technician at a local service centre and he said they use 3-button download to flash the phones, so if a customer took one in and they couldn't do it, basically they say they'd send it back to their nearest level 4 samsung hub, for repair/replacement. I personally would have to do this rather than go to my service provider, as i bought my handset off someone else as an unwanted upgrade, so they won't swap it themselves. However i'm reluctant to wait the 2 or 3 weeks for it to go back to samsung!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] newtrip:
There is not enough coverage of this issue. I just sent a tip to Engadget Mobile about this issue, hoping that we can get some press or publicity out there on this issue. I would encourage any of you to do the same, we need to make it known in a more public fashion. Maybe it would also be worth submitting to other sites as well? If Engadget picks it up at least it will trickle it's way to other sites.

go to mobile . engadget . com (without the spaces)

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Tip us on news" on the right hand side.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tarambuka:
Not true. My phone doesn't have 3 button mode and I was able to update the official JH2 firmware without any problem using Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hinerakatauri1979:
According to Samsungs facebook page they are working on a patch for the problem. it has a high Priority because it costs them money to fix the phones.

Read that they are close in releasing the patch.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anarchyuk:
I have been hovering over the click button for a riff box since last night, £117.50 to fix phone hmmmmmmmm
[Galaxy S I9000 General] curls1:
Cool my mistake i was thinking you neededs the 3 botton mode to flash
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that is true, however not many people were as lucky as you.

many here in the forum have tried upgrading to JH2 or some other country local ROM the legit way via KIES, and they died in middle of the process

without the 3 button to recover, they got stuck dead in the water, and ended up shipping the phone to warranty.

even KIES gives you instruction to hold volume down + home + power

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
New JH2 + SPL

they updated their page

http://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilecanada

Apparently they released the JH2 again but including a SPL fix, so people already on JH2 will need to flash back to JG8 or something, then flash forward to JH2 again to get the new SPL fix
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
Well that only helps Bell canada, not the rest of the world, but at least it shows they've identified the cause of the problem. However, going by what they've said it sounds like we'll all have to wait for our respective carriers' official firmware upgrades to be released on KIES to fix the issue, which kinda defeats the object cos once we've done that we won't need to upgrade!!

By the way, going on how they worded their statement, it sounds like its actually KIES they've patched to fix the issue, not the firmware, but KIES will now flash the fix along with the firmware upgrade? That sound about right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
If we can get hour hands on the spl.img some brave soldiers could try modifying firmwares to make them recoverable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prostheta:
Perhaps it's not the firmware, as it's possible to flash a 3BR-disabled unit with new firmware and this would have likely shown some results already.

It may well be a KIES patch - if it has access to areas in units outside of the firmware (NAND?) then it could feasibly trip a few flags here and there.

Hi I just got my new HTC DESIRE.

On the first day I installed this mod "LeeDrOiD_V2.0c_Odexed_NoA2SD+"

I found that camera takes pictures no problems, but video camera makes strange sound and then device restarts itself.

Because didn't test with original firmware I think it's software bug.

what do you say?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbishi:
You need to upgrade your radio...

Grab the newest one from this thread:

And install it like you would install a ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absolut79:
All Working. Thank You !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbishi:
After the radio installs, your phone will reboot after a while and end up back in recovery, you just need to reboot after then and the radio will be installed :)

[Android Apps and Games] Luggruff:
Hi,

been searching a couple of hours now and can only find apps like 'Photo Frame Deluxe' (ie. paid apps from the US Market). I don't live in the US and have Android on my HD2 so it's not native, therefore I cannot get this app (I don't get how to install market enabler). Anyone know a good widget (prefferably simple) that simply fills out my 800x480px screen in one of the home screens with one image?

I have this awesome background, though I want an image on one of the homescreens alone, and that's not possible of course, without it being a widget.

Going mad here. Is it perhaps simple to create an app like that? Can it be semi-transparent? Can it be without a background, so that the image decides the images transparency? Hmm..

If anyone makes an app like this maybe I'll even be willing to make a donation for it (after next wednesday when my paycheck appears, and the app will not have to be made until that, of course)
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but have a look at Big Photo Frame Widget v1.0
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
I'm pretty sure this is impossible. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Luggruff:
Cool, works for now (even though I can't rezise it as I use launcher pro, and it has a frame)
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
No problem..... It's a start anyway until you find something more appropriate. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
You can resize it with LauncherPro. I just started using it (cool app, thanks) and re-sized it to only 3 rows, rather than 4.

Hi there XDA,

This is my first post here, hope its in the right spot and not to stupid a question. As the title suggests I have no nandroid option in clockwork (rooted 2.2). I had it for 2.1 but after updating it is no longer available. I would love to backup my phone, just incase, is there any way to get it back. Would rerooting a rooted phone hurt it? Can 2.2 even be rooted? I do have S-Off if that helps. Thanks in advance.

EDIT:all fixed thanks elborak. Dont know how I missed that when you select "backup and restore" in the next screen its titled nandroid......I feel kinda silly.

Hello,

i just returned from a Media Markt, to get my repaired Raphael (O2 XDA Toch Pro) back. Unfortunaly they declined the free warranty repair because of a broken Warranty Seal. Now i wanted to check this with the pictures i made before giving the device back for rapair, but i have no idea where the warranty seal should be.

Can someone here please look at his device and let me know?

Thanks

Hey guys, how is it going?

After making myself comfortable with this new phone and Samsung technology (although i still consider myself noobish), the worst thing i've seen around here is that many new SGS devices don't have the 3-btn-combo to go into Download mode.

My device has the Download Mode, but i've seen around here that newer SGS don't!!!

However, i think that Samsung arch. designers would not release it in a way where this mode is unaccessible!

So the question is, how can we enable the 3-button-combo boot to go into the Download mode? Guys, this makes SGS almost unbrickable, and, there must be a way to do this (i'm even considering hardware piece)

I consider this almost top-priority, even though my hardware has this mode enabled..

What do

you

think?

Hope to hear some brainstorming, crazy ideas or just suggestions to build alien pieces of hardware in order to solve this :)

Cheers,

Phk :D

I have posted in the thread mentioned in the above post on this matter, but to answer the topic of enabling it, first we need someone to tell us where in the system this function is stored, is it actually coded into the hardware itself, or is it simply software related? If the latter, i'm sure it's only a matter of time before it gets hunted down by someone? Take the unlock codes stored in the system for instance, somebody found that pretty quick!!

I do not know what is wrong. I can read simplified Chinese just fine in email and SMS, but every input method I try doesn't work. I tried sunglobe, simsun, simhei, and everything I could think of. I get this with the well-regarded SogouSip package:

I apologize if there are threads about this; I searched but did not find anything.

I recently got the official car dock for the Evo. I'm really happy with it, and how with CM6 almost everything rotates into landscape.

The major exception to this seems to to be the phone application (like during a call) - the dialer does change orientation properly.

Is anyone aware of any sort of fix to make the phone application change its orientation? It's pretty annoying that it stays in portrait and is sideways.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Like many others I use Dialer One because it looks cool AND you can search contact names by typing on the keypad, which you cannot do with the AOSP dialer.

Another benefit of Dialer One?? Yes, it rotates :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefivetheory:
When you place a phone call with Dialer One, does that show in landscape, or is it still portrait only?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Sorry man, I misunderstood (despite you being very specific about it)

The dialer does landscape but as soo as it starts the call the phone app opens and reverts to portrait :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefivetheory:
No worries. That's what I figured. It seems like there isn't any way, that I can find at least, to get the phone app to show in landscape. I have to admit I find it a bit odd, seeing as most other apps have no issues. Oh well...

Hi, hope I post this in the right place, This is a rare occasion when I have a problem that no one has posted before me. Anyway here goes. HTC Incredible-unrevoked forever- stock 2.2 or virtuous 2.6 themed with revolution- either way since the 2.2 update I cannot connect to WIFI at my school. I can connect everywhere else on N, at school I can view the networks but it will not connect. I talked to the Network Admin. there and he said they have not changed anything in a year so, Its defiantly the phone. It did work at school pre 2.2 update. The Admin. there said they run a gigabit multi stream network. Some peoples laptops mine included do not work there either. he said you must have a multi-stream network adapter. Anyway so my question is since it used to work is there anyway i can get it working again without giving up 2.2 and reverting to 2.1- because there is no way I'm giving up 2.2. thanks for reading my long post and anybody s help would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzerker7:
The Incredible only supports SISO (single in, single out) so, no, you won't be able to connect on the N network.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan062:
I thought so too, but I was able to connect everyday when I was on 2.1 b/g specific now with N enabled I can view all the networks but not connect. It's crazy. I am barely into my first networking class so I don't know the benefits, if there are any to multi stream all I know I have a $850.00 Samsung laptop and droid Incredible that cannot connect it. By the way I'm a non- traditional student. I'm 31 so i have to buy my own toys+ pay the mortgage.

(Unfortunately I cannot post links due to my post count. I fudged the link a tad so most of you can figure it out.)

I walked into my local VZ store today. They were more than excited to test this on my Vibrant. The battery does fit and works perfectly! Unfortunately, there are two issues, one major, the other, personal preference.

Issue 1: The included backcover with the battery does not fit on our Vibrant due to the location of the camera. :mad:

Issue 2: It is HUGE. The battery is nearly 4 times the thickness of the stock 1500mAh.

The good news tho is the battery is made by Samsung AND with a proper back cover, everyone will be good to go. Not too bad for $49

[Vibrant Accessories] joshuapurcell:
I'd be ok with this size battery if there was a back panel that fit the vibrant as well. There is also a chance that this would be a standard size other newer batteries would follow, so we could buy only one new back panel but get new batteries as they are released... just a guess/hope.

Thanks for the tip. :) How does the adhesive work after heating it though? Heating an adhesive generally weakens it and this SP already has awful adhesive.

The SP feels and looks great but the weak adhesive drives me nuts. Bubbles still appear at the edges of the SP and the cam lens. If it weren't for the case covering up the bubbles on the main SP I'd probably rip it off. Hopefully my other SP's come soon. :)

I have no issue at all with the adhesive on the protector I put on my home-button (not with the screen-protector either, as it got a bit heated too). Looks a bit crap though as I cut the plastic myself without much care. :)
