[Galaxy S I9000 General] theonlyhero:
am haing the three buttons issue, so my question is it HW or SW issue??? please i want a sure answer thanks for your help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waz000000:
nobody knows but I suspect it's hardware related.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it appears to be a software thing

samsung promised to fix it on their next software release http://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilecanada
[Galaxy S I9000 General] el3ctronick:
i wish it is sw..however..my assumption is that it is hw related since if you take any older galaxy s and install any rom, the 3button mode works. in the new devices no matter how many different roms installed, problem remains.........lets just wait and see..i sent mine back to the store and got my money back. if they fix it WITH an official lag fix from samsung, i will buy it again. else it will be my last samsung phone(i had it only for a day :P)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
I doubt they know enough to make promises yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] huxflux2003:
This cannot be a hardware issue. The recovery and download modes can be accessed via adb, so that software is available as well. The only thing that is different is that the bootloader of the firmware (which cannot be flashed with the procedures we know) has the 3 button boot mode disabled.

I am pretty sure that samsung has the ability to replace the bootloader and I suspect that phones with the 3button disabled were requested by some carriers in order to disallow their customers from playing aroung with their phones.

about the update

lets say that android 2.2 is officially released ok,,,so how could i update my phone since as i know entering the download mode is one of the rule the upgrade the mobile ?!!!?!?!!!!!

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianwuk:
Whenever I send an SMS it is as if I can only send 1 per day. Let me explain, I can send an SMS fine but when I get a reply back then my response to it just sits in the outbox.

I exit the SMS program and then I cannot open it again (the option does not respond, as if it has hung, system works otherwise though) so I have to power off the phone, remove battery, remove SIM and then power it on with no SIM. I can then access the SMS program.

If I then delete the SMS from the Outbox and Deleted Items and Sent Items then sometimes (and only sometimes) the notification that the SMS has been sent will magically pop up. If that does not work then I power on the phone with a SIM and sometimes opening and closing the SMS program magically sends it, sometimes sending an SMS to myself fixes it and other times it just does not work at all and is very infuriating.

I am using the stock ROM and WM 6.1 with no additional programs installed.

What can I do to fix this and be able to send SMS messages normally? I even took my SIM out and put it in my old SE phone and I can SMS without any problems, only on the X1 :(

Thanks.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
That sounds strange indeed. Has it always been this way or did this error appear lately? If it appeared just lately I would try a hard reset. But if the problem has always been there I would try another sim card (demand a replacement from your service provider). How old ist your sim card? Old sim cards can cause several strange problems when used in current phones. It's easily possible that the card works with your old phone but causes troubles in combination with your X1.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianwuk:
The funny thing is that I took it to the Sony shop (I live in Thailand) and they tried a different SIM from a different network and it worked without any problems. They then put my SIM back in and it worked also.

My question is why does my SIM card not work well with the X1? I have always had this SMS problem since I got the phone (used).

Thanks for replying.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
Something like that was happened to me too when I'm still using the stock ROM. Some people said that it is the problem with threaded view in WM6.1. But it ould be because of too many messages in my inbox or outbox. Since I'd like archive my messages, I backed up the message to new ROM and this problem never ever happpened again.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
I recommend the following steps to narrow down the reason for this problem.

1. Perform a hard reset (or even reflash the stock rom)

2. Try using the phone on factory defaults (do not restore anything from a backup) for several days

3. If you still experience the problems try deactivating the threaded view for sms

4. Still not solved > order a new sim card

5. Received a new sim to no avail > might be a hardware defect

A few words concerning sim cards. Believe me, they can cause strange problems. There are people that used to have bad signal reception. After they ordered a new sim the problems were gone. Or cases where people could not get a working data connection > new sim solved it.

By the way, you told it in your post too:

"The funny thing is that I took it to the Sony shop (I live in Thailand) and they tried a different SIM from a different network and it worked without any problems. They then put my SIM back in and it worked also."

It seems that your sim card blocks the sms sending process from time to time. So to keep this post short, no matter to what result the above mentioned steps lead I would go for a new sim anyway.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianwuk:
I do indeed use threaded conversations. Stupid question, but how do I turn threaded conversation mode off? This is the first thing I want to try.

[Epic 4G General] mommasboy:
While watching a movie you get a phone call, the movie pauses and after you hang up the movie picks back up where you left off. This I understand, but how do you get back to a scene in a movie, if you just stop watching it. For example, I'm riding the train in the morning watching something. Its time for me to get off, so I pause the movie and go on about my business. Thru out the day I may get a phone call, text message and check my email. Now when its time for me to go home I check the task manager and the video app is still running in the background. I can’t click on it to activate it. So I go back to my movie folder to watch the movie, but once I tap on it, it starts from the beginning again. I like the stock video app, but I hate having to fast forward to where I left off. Is this just a limitation on the stock app or is that how it is for all of them?

Get mVideoplayer from the market. It is hardware accelerated and supports resuming playback.
[Epic 4G General] Coucher:
Rock Player has resume as well.
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
RockPlayer has no acceleration though, so it drains more battery and can't play HD.

[Epic 4G General] mommasboy:
Excuse my ignorance, but what is acceleration?
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_acceleration

In computing, hardware acceleration is the use of hardware to perform some function faster than is possible in software running on the general purpose CPU. Examples of hardware acceleration include blitting acceleration functionality in graphics processing units (GPUs) and instructions for complex operations in CPUs.

Normally, processors are sequential, and instructions are executed one by one. Various techniques are used to improve performance; hardware acceleration is one of them. The main difference between hardware and software is concurrency, allowing hardware to be much faster than software. Hardware accelerators are designed for computationally intensive software code. Depending upon granularity, hardware acceleration can vary from a small functional unit to a large functional block like motion estimation in MPEG2.

The hardware that performs the acceleration, when in a separate unit from the CPU, is referred to as a hardware accelerator, or often more specifically as graphics accelerator or floating-point accelerator, etc. Those terms, however, are older and have been replaced with less descriptive terms like video card or graphics card.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
TLDR version: rockplayer can't handle 720p\1080p movies on the Epic because those movies require a beastly GPU. Rockplayer doesn't use the GPU in the phone.

Is there a way to install a recovery image or root from sd card & android terminal?

I can't get adb on mac to recognize my phone.
[Droid X General] B-dub25:
yes if you are on 2.1 do the

Ok ,I figured this out when I was at work and could not use my company computer.

So we need the download.

DroidXRoot_v2.zip

After you download, use a file manager and extract on the sdcard (not in any folder on the root)

Now put the wifi widget on your home screen

Download terminal emulator from the market

Open the terminal . Now comes the fun part.!

code

type these in and hit enter after each one.

cd /sqlite_stmt_journals

cp /sdcard/exploid ./exploid

chmod 755 exploid

./exploid

Now after typing that last command hurry up and hit the home screen button and turn on wifi. After go back in the terminal and type.

rootshell

cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su

cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

rm /system/bin/rootshell
[Droid X General] B-dub25:
all credit goes to brian from MyDroidWorld for that
[Droid X General] B-dub25:
2.2 do this ( credit goes to Eousphoros from droidforums)

open up your favorite terminal emulator program

- cd /tmp

- cp /sdcard/rage*.bin /tmp/

- chmod 777 rage*.bin

- ./rage*.bin

- ignore it's output, we are thinking outside of the box here, just wait for it to finish and return a $

- now go to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> running -> terminal and force close that girlie

- relaunch the terminal app and you should be greeted with the friendly # symbol. Toda you now have a root shell

- the rest is pretty much the same.

- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su

* cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox

- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

* chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

I've tried reading through the thread many times already.... Renaming the file, moving it to different locations, going through the terminal. Yet I'm still not able to install the 1.8 recovery. I have no idea how to use the abd shell or what ever it is, I don't even think I have it. Could someone upload a flashable zip with it? Or maybe give me some step by step for it cause I'm lost here and want to flash Vael's rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
1) Put the recovery image on the root of your sdcard

2) Open a terminal emulator on your phone

3) Type "su" and hit enter

4) Type flash_image recovery /sdcard/<name_of_the_recovery_image>.img and hit enter

Voila! You just updated your recovery image
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Success100:
even easier..

download rom manager from the market, you must be rooted to use, hit flash recovery, then it will flash clockwork recovery, once thats done, scroll to the bottom on the main page of rom manager, then select flash alternate recovery, and it will flash amon 1.8.0. This is the easiest way to do it

Try re-installing the SU app from the market. I've had trouble with it being bundled in roms before, reinstalling it has always fixed my su permission issues.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zdrifter:
There are ways to view the contents of the .img files contained in a Nandroid BU, but if you are running a Win machine it may be more work than it is worth.

If you connect your phone to your PC you can move the 'unwanted' Nandroids from your sdcard to your PC thus freeing the space on the card. The file dates of the Nandroids should help you sort out which you want. Hope this is helpful

Cheers
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Rename them immediately after creation if you want to remember what they are. Use a file manager on the immediately successive boot of the regular OS. Leave the date & timestamp intact and insert the name and version of the ROM using only letters, digits, underscores and dashes.

The default naming scheme of the backup folders are BDS-YYYYMMDD-HHMM. For example, you might rename BDS-20100827-1912 to be BDS-KaosFroyo_V29-20100827-1912. That way you can easily identify what a specific backup is without much trouble, and also tell which is most recent if you have multiple backups of a single rom.

If you have forgotten what they are the easiest way to figure out what they are is to restore them to the phone.

And, yes of course, it is possible to delete individual backup folders using a file manager.

Hello!

As the title says, my Galaxy keeps crashin´ once in a while, just out of the blue the device hangs up, no reaction any more. The phone shows me a black screen with some weired looking code in the upper left corner (look at the atachment).

It is pretty anoying, I dont have an idea what causes these crashes. The damn thing about it is that I dont even notice when the phone is in my pocket.

Does anyone of you guys has an idea what my phone wants me to know???

Any solution??

thanks a lot

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i was serious when i said you should be able to connect Odin to the phone to Upload a new firmware

either you click some buttons combo and it went into that mode

or some Apps crashed so badly that it sent you to that screen

to "fix" it you can try doing the factory reset

or you can load another ROM that is more stable
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TrOjAnUK:
Picked my Galaxy I9000 s up 3 days ago, sort of happy with it, I unlocked the sim and rooted it...

Coming from a G1 Android these phones seem a nightmare to change Roms, reading through these forums it appears 50 / 50 if it will end up bricked.

There seems to be more horror stories of messed up phones than people actually being able to use their phones after updates.

I used to change the rom on the G1 daily as I wanted, drop into recovery, nandroid backup, select rom zip, flash, reboot voila.

Will there ever be an easy way to flash a ROM on these phones?

I am beginning to think I should have grabbed a desire or HD2 as they are really easy to hack.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
all the methods are easy.

Odin is easy

ROM manage is easy

Kies is easy

Heimdall is easy

what else do you need?

as long as you have the 3 button download mode working then you'll be safe
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TrOjAnUK:
Allgamer,

Its all easy once you know what your doing, on the G1 it was easy because I knew hopw to do it....

On this its all these numbers, my phone I have:

PDA: I9000XXJF4

PHONE: I9000XXJF3

CSC: I9000TMUJE6

After reading up on this for 3 days theres so much conflicting information it gets confusing, I have read:

Dont go from you country codes, XXJF3 means I have to stay with XXJ** but theres not many XXJ`s about.

Lots of people report that after flashing they lose their 3 button recovery option.

Rom Manager is showing me ZERO roms for the I9000

I Tried the Kies windows registry hack but got nothing offered

Not seen Heimdall, thought that was not released yet, I will search.

I hate asking this stuff, I know you get the same questions over and over again and must get frustrating for you so I can only apoligise.

If my phone was on contract I would not worry but this is a cash purchase and as such I dont have anything to fall back on.
