Hello All

I did search the forum and still not answer for the stranger reboot loop.

I got a phone call, and answered it. The reception was crappy and hear no voice. I then looked at the phone to see if call had dropped and it was frozed on the incoming call screen. I then pulled the battery and pressed the power button to turn on the phone and It would not power on. After multiple battery pulls and many many power button presses, still nothing. It was like it was out of battery. It was stitting on the home charger before i left the house. Prior to this the phone worked fine. Over the past week or two I had to do a battery pull may be 3 times.

I got to my car and plugged it into the charger and the orange charge led came on, on the front of the device. I then pressed the power button and it vibrate once as normal and then went to the multi-colored nexus "X." he screen went black and then vibrated once again and and was back at the mulit-colored "X." Then the loop starts.

In between the restarts I try to get it to boot into the bootloader by using the "vol down and power" and the "trackball and power button" and the white screen for the boot loader flashed for a milisecond the goes to black. As long as I hold the "vol down" button the while bootloeader or recovery screen flashes every 4-5 sec for a milisecond. As soon as I let go of one of those button, it automatically goes to the full reboot loop.

THis all happens when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as i unplug it, it goes back to the power button not responding. Again it acts as if it has no battery power. But it is in the 90%.

So i am unable to do any other step as in reflashing, and or doing a recovery.

ANY IDEAS any one.

I was running Cyanogen RC3. the latest rom with amon RA 1 7 1, korean radio 5.0.8

It was running perfectly up till today. when it went into its loop.

ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME

THanks in advance

Plug it in to the USB, adb reboot recovery, reflash rom. Or even wipe and reflash if needed.

Sounds like it could be hardware the way you have to hold the keys down and you said it wasn't responding to the power button press.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tas350kts:
ok thanks, ill give it a try.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tas350kts:
here is my only issue. I am not using my original computer Mac. I just sent it out to apple for repair. So i am using my companies computer. I need to set up the AndroidSDK to be able to talk to the nexus. Since the phone will not turn on i can not load the drivers. and ive tried every way and it has not installed and i cant check because it wont stay on. it just goes to the loop. and it wont turn on if its not plugged to a power source.

Any ideas or suggestion.

SOrry I am an noob, so could you please be specific in your instructions.

I as of right now have insalled the Android SDK and i am unable to see the serial number (working on an old dell, running XP sp3) because it wont turn on.

It cant manually install the drivers because I cant turn the phone on to specify the drivers.

and

I using USBDeview, the phone also has to be on to erase all HTC previously installed drivers. i think. but there were none in the usb log...i think becuase they didnt install...agains because it would not power on...:-(

any ideas...please

DD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tas350kts:
Also

Sorry excuse me if its a sort of a duhhh question...

even if i am able to load the device bridge, if the phone will not boot can i still flash another rom, or do a recovery. The phone is not getting past the Multi-colored "X" ???

DD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
It should still read the commands when it's trying to boot. You don't need to turn the phone on at all to be able to install the ADB drivers, they are independent of each other.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tas350kts:
As strange as it started, is a strange as it went.

This morning open the phone to pull the sd and the sim to put it in a throw down phone. I replaced the battery and cover and just hit the power button. The phone does a full boot and it appears to be working properly. the sd card and sim are fine. I the odd thing is i did this multiple times yesterday and last night. I pulled both sim and sd, replaced the battery and tried to boot with the same issues as named above with nothing different.

I left the phone on charge last night and it was charging for close to 8 hours and it was still showing the orange charging light.

So after it booted this morning, and i checked everything. It showed the same amount of charge as yesterday, right before it froze, which was 75%. So that is another strange occurance.

I plan on reflashing the rom and seeing how things go.

I thank you for your assistance and time.

appericate you helping out a clueless noob.

Anyone know a way to control the notification volume without having to go into settings? I know there is widgets out there, but every other android phone i have ever had the notification volume changed with the ringer volume. Am I missing a setting? Or any ideas. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SMF_12:
is there a way to mke the start up of the phone quicker?

i have a stck TP2 vdafone UK rom, and it takes agestostart up due to showing the vodafone branding logo's.

a cab file would be much apreciated as im just too blonde for registry edits lol

thanks :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ultramag69:
See if you can find the BSB Tweaks cab. Theres an option to turn off the startup animation there...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SMF_12:
i just tried it, all its done is stop the startup animation, but it just keeps a black screen displayed for the same length of time.

any more ideas??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
disable sense may speed up the start up as it does not need to load the app. I do not think you can speed up much of the start up because it needs to load all the necessary program files.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"GifSpeed"=dword:x

Set x to something big, like 9999999 etc ;]
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Ach, right, you don't like you edit your registry. Lol, sorry, here is a cab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SMF_12:
thanks for taking the time to cab it for me jacko, it still does the same as the others and goes to a black screen for the same length of time as the animation went on for.

ihave 3 start up screens on my phone basically...

number 1: vodafone wallpaper for roughly 27 seconds

number 2: animation or not for roughly 20 seconds

number 3: windows start up screen for roughly 12 seconds

and i would love to get rid of the 1st 2 screens ideally.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
It's not the animation with takes time, the device needs to start up. It copies files into ram, initiates drivers bla, bla, bla etc ;] You cannot speed this up just by disabling start up pictures.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SMF_12:
ahh ok... ill probly just put the animation back on then :( dont like the black screen, its scary HAHA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SMF_12:
btw... thanks ver much for your help, it was much appreciated :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
You might want to consider a different boot screen (it's screen/animation #2) as it doesn't take up any more time and can be more entertaining when glancing at it that it doesn't seem quite as long. I use the one on post 26 of this thread, which was supposedly optimized for the tilt 2. You just have to rename the .gif image in the cab files to whatever your boot .gif is called and copy it into your windows directory using total commander. I don't remember the name of the file off hand, and it differs depending on who your carrier is.

You can always try the cabs throughout that thread, but keep in mind, if they were made for a different carrier, you may not notice any differences...

When I go into Appbrain it shows me that I can update my Flash to the new version, but when I try it says that the app is not on the market. I knew it wasn't on the market, but I really can not figure out how to update it. What am I missing?

I looked for another thread like this but I couldn't find one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alanmw86:

My girlfriend's Legend had a notification for an OTA today, and after it installed, wifi doesn't seem to work, giving the message "Wifi is unable to start". A factory reset did nothing to help.
[Legend General] JunkStar:
My gf's Legend had the same problem after a OTA update, tried everything except rooting it. Finally i took it back to the dealer which had it replaced immediately since it was only 2 days old.
[Legend General] zbrinski:
try to factory restore several times. Once I had to do 7 factory restore just to get the ringtone working.
[Legend General] Firen89:
I had the wifi-problem, too.

Fixed it by running the RUU again (maybe you need a goldcard for that)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
This is not intended to be mean personally, but this confusion needs to be sorted out.

1. there is a reason why mimocan's lagfix is the only fix stickied.

2. there is a reason why cyanogen has chosen supercurio's voodoo fix to be implemented with Cyanogen *A hugely famous ROM*

I think this speaks for itself. I urge people to consider the fact why are Cyanogen choosing the voodoo method to implement as their lagfix and not the one click fix.

I know not much on this technical details of all this. But logic tells me that if Cyanogen is behind supercurio then that is all that needs to be said. beta2 will be out within days, as for a public release hold tight.

Just wait and see, and donate some money for the hard work I know curio has put in.

Ryan I welcome a rebuttal on this, but you can't really argue that the team at cyanogen are incorrect in supporting the 'wrong lag fix concept'..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
This just in:

Lag Fix - There are different ways of doing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
Well I don't think Cyanogen would have flipped a coin to decide whichfix they will use..

Give cyanogen team some credit please..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
Give RyanZA some credit. He's never claimed that his solution is the only solution, or that it's the best one. It is a solution.

As for Mimocan's, I'm guessing it's stickied because he was the first person to come up with a solution.

RyanZA's fix has gained popularity IMHO because it's easy to apply.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
You are missing the point of the thread then.

It is confusing for users with the fixes available. The better/safest one needs to be pointed out.

Ryan has done a great job and I praise his work and intentions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Wrong? What is wrong? There is no right or wrong, please get that straight. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
make love not war. C'mon lads
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
Please be open and kind about this discussion, I apologise if the tone was set in a negative way.

The aim is just to inform the newer users that the preferenced fix is endorsed by a hugely respected dev team at cyanogen.

This forum may have alliances towards the wrong advice.

I am simply putting it out there as an external view point on this, it is important to note that for cyanogen to back the voodoo fix, this itself holds great merit in this debate. as apposed to the in fighting/tension that has been in this forum.

I do not apologise for pointing out the elephant in the room though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lokhor:
Is cyanogen bringing out a galaxy s rom?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sunwee:
cmon, the tone of your post is already a huge disrespect to RyanZa. I've been using lagfixes since Modaco Paul's nand-fix, then Mimocan, then RyanZa and now Supercurio's voodoo fix.

I have huge respect to all of them for the work and dedication they do which makes our life a little better. I'd just like to offer an observation, when RyanZa's one-click fix came out, he was being cheered and praised like a popstar. Then later when Supercurio's voodoo fix came out, some of those who cheered ryan previously quickly turn to disparaging him. What hypocrites...

I am not here to argue about the merits and demerits of each lagfix. I am not nearly knowlegable enough. But what is the "BEST" method?? there are people who are still happily using Modaco paul's nand-fix and lately there are some who has stopped using lagfixes altogether because they felt samsung's latest firmwares improved the situation for them. Should we then try to "convert" everyone to use supercurio voodoo fix just becoz some ppl feel it's the best and cyanogen team has chosen it? Cyanogen team has also chosen to use ADW launcher only. Should everyone else stop using Launcher Pro?

The point abt android systems is CHOICE. this is why i use android phone instead of Steve Job's "we know what's best for you" iphone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
I'm cool. :D

Just a recap,

First there was this modaco fix by Paul, moving apps into dbdata, even zenkinz do it in another way, which is to shift all the system data into the dbdata.

Then came mimocan's fix (believe there was 2 versions: ext3 and ext4)

Next came ykk_five idea, which RyanZA had followed on, in fact there were 3 versions. version 1, version 2 and the apk. Tayutama's uses script to install the lag fixes, and Chainsfire lagfix where there is a better UI. All these are variants.

All these fixes were applied by the various people, at different times, and most, if not all gained from these fixes, be it temporary or permanent.

As the product evolve, so does the lagfixes. The beginning was using adb commands, and later evolve into one app which can be downloaded. That's how we progresses.

And at this point of time, sc's fix is an excellent way of eliminating lag, but I definitely don't believe that it is going to be the last.

Of course, YMMV. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jjwa:
Please start saying what you mean or don't say anything.

You talk in vague term, repeating "there's a reason why..." without naming the reason you mean. You say "I think this speaks for itself". What speaks for itself? And what does it say? You haven't told us.

You're showing that you have a strong opinion for or against certain devs or solutions. You did not make this topic because you are actually asking for people to tell you which lagfix you should use. You made it because you want people to change to your point of view, or discredit you disagree with. And you do it by talking vaguely, without any relevant arguments. The only type of argument I could find was "Well, I think A is cool, and A is saying B is cool, so that must mean B is pretty cool! Guys, go for B, it's the only true path!"

Right now you sound to me like someone who wants to whine or *****, but knows he shouldn't, or who is too afraid to. I find that quite incorrect and annoying.

Please behave. Please let people make their own choices about this stuff by reading whatever they are interested in, without this weird type of drama-starting behavior.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] LevitateJay:
Lol exactly what I opened this thread for, although nobody has addressed this yet....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimmy-bish:
The simple fact is that nobody can agree on which lag fix is the best one. Nobody knows for sure which one is safest and the most compatible with the hardware. Chances are, the RFS file system is the safest because it's supported by Samsung. Installing any lag fix is a risk, no matter how many checks are included with the file system format.

What's not cool is the fact that a thread like this has been created and one type of lag fix has been recommended over another without any actual basis besides the fact that the OP trusts one online user over another. Even then, it's not asking questions, the dangerous part about it is that each point starts with "there's a reason....", as if it's gospel.

I've tried both lag fixes, and used both for decent periods of time. Ryan's lag fix did well, but I found the lag came back after a few days of use. The Voodoo lag fix is also draining battery quite a bit for me. Then again, some other users are saying the battery doesn't drain much at all.

Based on my findings, I doubt I'll bother with any more fixes.

It seems the mileage varies for each user, based on how they use their phone. Any new members reading this thread should be encouraged to try all methods they're comfortable with applying AFTER READING THE ENTIRE THREADS ABOUT THE FIX. <- That bit's important.

Otherwise, don't apply a lag fix at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fakekullu:
Personally I'm a huge fan of Tayutama's lag fix, I've used OCLF but it's Tayutama that gives me the best result. I suppose no one lag fix is superior to the other, it's just people and their experiences with lag fixes that differentiates them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmonkee:
Lagfix fanboism? Really? Are you for real?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LevitateJay:
I think its more for "lag fix A uses method B which could possibly be doing C to the D which could have long term effects such as E or F"

Rather than "use this one cause it r0x0rzz!"

As most people here apply these different lag fixes and have no idea what its actually doing internally and therefore have no idea what possible consequences etc there could be.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
that's actually kinda true :)

i suppose it's because theres donations involved :p

money, power, stuff that perverts all humans
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Well currently I'm using the One Click method. When the Voodoo Lag Fix was released I flashed it to my phone and the results were amazing, but then after a few days I noticed that the phone started to lag again and quadrant was failing on the I/O benchmark. So I reflashed stock firmware, rooted and used the One Click Lag Fix in the market. Purely due it its simplicity and I've had zero problems with it for the time being.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
Haha, I love this thread. Great comedy. :D

I agree with you completely. I've used both my various lag fixes, and supercurios lagfix, and none are perfect. My current OCLF one does slow down a lot when installing big apps, etc. supercurios custom kernel makes my battery drain much faster (don't kill me for saying this please, it's just what I've noticed - test it out yourself, you may not have any issues).

We have not reached the perfect lag fix yet though, and I hope we'll keep seeing improvements come along. So even if the current lagfixes don't do it for you, maybe a future one will.

Only thing I disagree with you about is RFS - I'm 99% certain is was chosen for political rather than technical reasons.

That was the goal of the OCLF APK - keep it simple so that as little as possible can go wrong. I think the stats speak for themselves in regards to keeping it simple: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.rc.QuickFixLagFix

As far as cyanogen goes, I'm not terribly impressed by their remarks on the lagfix so far. They actually went as far as to call it a 'quadrant cheat', and compared it to moving quadrant into a ram disk. Clearly not enough time spent investigating there. ;)

Not to say that I won't be first in line to use their custom rom as soon as it's available on the SGS! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] veper:
Personally, I've extensively tested all lagfixes available with various firmwares to date. While all have their pros and cons, I still feel Ryan's OCLF gives me best performance results overall, especially once lagfix is installed for 3+ days. Curio's Voodoo performs nice, but it has a bit of battery drain penalty, most likely because of the kernel, which doesn't include optimisations Samsung built into the stock kernel. In addition, using Voodoo lagfix I experience occasional lags once free memory falls below 60 or so MB (also get a bit of lag using OCLF, but it's less noticeable).

Therefore, I find all available lagfixes much much better than stock filesystem performance and the best for me / my phone is Ryan's OCLF. But then again, I'm sure we'll see the ultimate lagfix sooner or later, either updated OCLF or Voodoo (ie. a solution that won't lag when free memory is lower than 55-60 MB).

Does anyone have any idea why SGS lags when it has less than 60 MB of free memory? I have old HTC Hero on my desk to play around and it doesn't lag even when the free memory is in the 30MB levels...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daftdrew:
Really Jimmy summed up this whole thread. It's pretty damn pointless.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimmy-bish:
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you about RFS. It's rubbish, and obvious Samsung put it there because it's their proprietry file system.

Samsung are their own worst enemy when it comes to phones. They make brilliant hardware, then their software department gets a hold of it and does everything they can to cripple the damn thing. Kies, RFS, headphone audio that needs to be reset, Touchwiz.... It's all complete rubbish.

I didn't word that sentence correctly. RFS is safest because it's how Samsung shipped the phone and keeping it means the phone will continue operating and is still completely supported by Samsung. In other words, the safest bet is to just leave that stuff alone.

.... but if we were the type to leave that stuff alone, we wouldn't be on these forums in the first place! :D

Opinions on which Kernel I should install for all around best performance. I am not running any rom right now just stock 2.2........ Anything that will help me decide which one to install.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] ecltech:
Try them and see which works best for you. If you don't need the overclock speed, then stick with one that's stock or underclocked but undervolted also. This will save you some battery power. I think it's hard to say what works for me will work for you. One of the effects of having choices. :)
