the phone boots up and i can unlock it, then the only things I can do is is slide down the notofication tab and see notifications and also switch wifi-bluetooth-GPS-vibration on and off :S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drakfisken:
nevermind, I don't know how but I got the unistaller app up and successfully uninstalled the app, so now my phone works again =D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
HI Five!

Also leave Debugging mode on, It might help you use ADB in future when you can't access phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephlck:
Really need help guys. My SGS is doing REALLY funny things...

I just got my SGS a few days ago and so far all I've been doing is installing aps on it (no messing with rooting/flashing).

Today, I was trying to get Keis to work. I reinstalled Keis and unplugged and repluggeed my phone a few times and managed to get it to recognise.

Here's the problem, now it ALWAYS says USB connected on the top left hand corner. Everything seems ok except after a few minutes of the screen turning off, I can't turn it back on again. Absolutely no activity. If I try to turn it back on immediately after it goes off, it can come back on again. :confused:

Things get weirder. If I remove my battery or turn it off, I can't turn it back on again (it flashes a loading symbol in the middle of the screen for half a second then nothing happens). To turn it back on, I have to plug it in and wait for the charging screen to come on. THEN it comes on. :eek:

I've tried doing a factory reset but nothing changed... Is there a hardware fault? Perhaps flashing will solve the problem?

ps. When it's off, I can enter download mode but not recovery more unless I plug it in...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Sounds like a hardware problem on phone, But I beleive its more of a Grounding problem with your usb. Can you try it with another port or computer? Also does your pc/laptop have a grounding pin for its power supply? I noticed I get odd power spikes when I travel to asia as their power is not always good. You can always buy a surge protector for your computer and one for your samsung charger. Other then that see if you can get new KIEs (I Don't EVER use it as its crap and never reconizes my phone)

Also if you want to kick up a storm, get the thing replaced as it sounds like a phone hardware problem as it should not crash when you take battery out. Could be battery but better to change the whole thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiopi:
Try activating USB DEBUG in settings. Check the option and restart.

It should solve the problem. You can UNCHECK again the option and the phone should work also without USB debug activated :)

It will happen again, it seem to me a problem with some USB port, or some cables, activating a *waiting for USB* option BEFORE the ROM loading
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephlck:
Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys. Last night it suddenly started behaving itself after the 10th or so hard reset *phew*

Very strange problem and I think I will stay well clear of Kies from now on... Samsung make a good phone but lousy software...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiopi:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottymacMDA:
Hey all, I just got a brand new Leo and I love it except one thing, the flash doesn't work while in camera mode. I'm going to try downloading the LED flash light and see if that works if not I will seek help on a repair or something. But if any of you know of any thing like this happening please let me know how you got around it or repaired it.

Thanks

Scotty

[Update]

I have downloaded the LED Flash Light Application and it works perfectly. Any ideas?

[Update]

I have fixed it, I don't know how but it is working now, I think it may have been the use of the LED Flash Light lol Might have told the software that it actually has LED Flash lmao Sorry for wasting anybody's time.

[General Questions and Answers] DarkBladeX:
Hello Guys,

Im trying to cook my own rom, but got a really stupid thing when flashing.

When the OS is been flashed and its ready for first run, the configuration pops up to setup the cab files. Only thing where I get stuck at is a cab is asking me to enable to plugin. So there pop up a yes and no button. But I cant choose because it closes really fast. Installation wont go further because I need 2 apply it but its back of the configuration. How to fix this ?

So what i was telling is :

FLASH DEVICE > BOOT > ALIGN SCREEN>PASSWORD SETUP>CONFIGURATION

IT LOADS FILES. THEN GET STUCK ON 1 FILE WHICH NEEDS 2 BE APPLIED FIRST.

BUT THE WINDOW CLOSES REALLY FAST AND CANT GO FURTHER.

Anyhelp will be really great.

Thanks anyway.

This link will download bash, setup for the Epic 4g.

http://www.elkins.org/epic.bash.tar.gz

1. adb push or scp the file to data/local

2. Login as root

3. cd to /data/local

4. tar xvf epic.bash.tar.gz

5. ./mkbash.sh

Now when you su to root, you'll have a nice bash shell. For some reason, if you ssh in, you'll have to issue the command 'bash' to get the shell.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
What is bash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jocala:
Bash is a command shell, quite a bit more powerful than the simple sh we have on the Epic. If you don't use the command-line, you probably don't need it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Awesome! I was looking for this earlier today!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jocala:
I got dropbear working if your interested. It's posted here http://www.speedyshare.com/files/24310799/dropbear.tar.gz
[Epic 4G Android Development] lawsofpower48:
i dont know if i just noticed it today or not...but after updating to di07, when you goto "about phone" and try to update anything like firmware or prl etc, the 3g will disappear and it will just keep searching but nothing happens until you hit back button...then the 3 g comes back? anyone else have this issue or has it always been like that? this is doing it on both of my epics.... and both have di07.... i coulda swore it worked in dg27??

also, i did notice the screen is darker as mentioned by others.
[Epic 4G Android Development] casual864:
It has always been like that whenever you update the settings and it is not an issue. I don't think this is a necessary thread to open, because this topic has already been discussed. People have been saying that the screen has gotten dimmer after the update. I noticed it a little, only with auto brightness on. Who cares? It saves your battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lawsofpower48:
my main concern was not about the screen, i was just throwing it in there. i was just wondering about the update thing where the 3g icon disappears...i had always thought that when you update whatever on your phone, the 3g stays since it needs to have internet access to update??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walesey:
I was just wondering if any of you guys has found a working bluetooth gamepad for the Galaxy S? I really wasnt one for the emulation apps, but couldn't find any answers on the forums here. In particular, I've been looking at the BGP100 - has anyone tried this?

Thanks in advance! :)

I got a Zeemote, but it's not a very good control device. Too hard to use. It does work with the galaxy s though, and they're quite cheap. I'm doing a hardware mod to bluetooth enable a SEGA Megadrive pad using the electronics from the zeemote.

What upload cap?
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Do some more speed tests, verify that you're on 3g and post the results please. I'm 100 % skeptic that you're getting 715 up on your 3g connection.

And if it's true, tell us what you've done to get around it.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
So was that through Photoshop or MSPaint? Maybe even Gimp although I've never used it.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
This is on full 3g walking around in best buy
[Epic 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Mine or the other guy who is completely trolling the thread?

Ill post mine when I have full signal. I have personally watched mine shoot up to 600 then go back, like it was forced, down to 150...several times.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
I ran the speedtest app a few more times. I notice its getting my location wrong. But i ran about 8 tests and all were above 150 upload. This was the lowest result. Phone is running the stock rom just rooted.

And another

No tricks or anything. And im not trolling. This is the first time i have hit higher than 150 on upload so i am not sure what is happening. I am running the new update but that didn't fix anything.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Sorry, not you. The other guy. Now that he told us where, I'll go to my Sprint Authorized Reseller local Best Buy and do the same. I expect that I will get the same results until I move out of range of the store.

Edit: Either that or this guy has the only working, uncapped Epic in existence.
[Epic 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Very interesting...hmmmmm
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
No longer in bestbuy. This was only on 2 bars on 3g. Gonna reboot the phone and test again.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Forgot the pic.
[Epic 4G General] jfenton57:
I'm definitely not going to believe that you're getting twice the UL speed as you are the DL....
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
ive gotten -0 on download before...
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
^^^ Hey, are you in Kansas? Or did you just choose the speedtest server in Kansas?

If you're in Kansas, the fact that you're getting > 150kbps is a GOOD sign, and suggests that Sprint might actually have a grip on the problem and be close to fixing it. Think about it... their engineering is HQ'ed in Kansas. If they need to roll out a fix to towers, which towers would be the first ones to get the fix? Right... the ones in Sprint's back yard.

Kansas is a great place for Sprint to stage its fixes... not only are their best engineers there, but Kansas City is also just the right size for a first-stage fix. It's big enough to be a challenging real city, but it's not New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, so if something were to go wrong, few people outside of the immediate metro area would be likely to notice unless it were really, really bad or lasted for a long time. Contrast that with somewhere like New York, where a 30-second service outage would make world headlines.

Also, the fact that you got faster performance from a femtocell (presumably an Airave at Best Buy) is itself good news, because it suggests that once Sprint gets the towers fixed, Airave users won't find themselves marginalized with slow speeds for months waiting for a fix.

Actually... has anybody in an area with 150k towers tried an Epic with an Airave to see whether it makes a difference?
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Excellent idea - I'll be getting a 3G Airave for my parents's house in about 3 days, I'll definitely give this a try.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
I am actually in nc. Its the default server it picked. That's why i was saying it that my location was off.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Odd. I'll take you at your word, but I'm curious now as to why you're getting speeds that nobody else is getting. I'm in SD and still getting 150kbps wherever I go.
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Are you guys rooted and running custom roms? How are you getting speedtest.net to work on your epic without flash?

Here the the first offical release of Fluff Kernel for the Epic 4G

Ok here are two new versions for you all.One is the performance kernel and the other is the battery saver.Both are using the new version of my initramfs that comes with ChainsDD's Superuser.apk and su binary.So i suggest if you have Superuser.apk installed to uninstall it before flashing either of these kernels since Superuser.apk will be installed in /system/app instead of /data/app.And now for the kernels.Both of these kernels are

Rom Manager

compatiable and have root in them.

This is the battery saving kernel.Changes to it are:

Both Kernels are updated to DI18 sourcecode.

CPU governor set to userspace you can use SetCPU to set the speed of the kernel if you like although SetCPU seems a bit unstable on anything other then conservative.

Default scheduler set to CFQ

http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5B.zip

This is the performance kernel.Changes to it are:

CPU governor set to performance your cpu will always be set to max this gives the best numbers in linpack and quadrant if numbers are you thing.

Default scheduler is set to CFQ.

http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5P.zip

This is another battery saver kernel for those who don't want to mess with SetCPU is uses the conservative CPU governor that the overclocked kernels use.

http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/skeeterslint/FluffKernel-Epic-V1.0.5C.zip

All kernels have been compiled against a toolchain that is stable on the newest OTA.And all kernels have been built with stock Samsung kernel source with no modifications to the source code all changes were to the .config file.

​

This zip can be flashed with ClockWorkMod or can be taken out of the zip and the zImage can put used as a replacement for the zImage in the one click root method although this kernel has root built into it.I recommend removing the JoeyKrim root method to not cuase and conflicts.

This kernel still has some Samsung bloat in it this will be stripped out as time goes on.I will also be trying out different combinations of CPU governors and schedulers to see which one performs the best.So please test it out and post your feedback.

Link to the stock samsung source that was used for these kernels.

http://opensource.samsung.com/ Please search for SPH-D700 DI18.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
Sorry for the double post but does this kernel have overclocking??
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
No it doesn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dondadah88:
Is this the new kernel from the ota
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Was just about to ask..

No overclock. Will this conflict with custom roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
This is not the kernel from the ota this is a custom compiled kernel it should run fine on any roms that are out right now.I am running it myself with no issues at all to speak of.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Thank you. And your right its running just fine right now. I am using it with noobnl latest rom. And I had it running fine on the BOSS rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] darknoobie:
Hi

Does this kernel support loop-back. Im trying to install ubuntu on samsung epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
All the b usybox applets to setup the the loop device should be there. But I have never tried to use them I will have to check the kernel config to see if the kernel is setup for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mark920:
Skeeter this its the best kernel I have used on my phone to date, however one thing to note is that the version of busy box used in this kernel is not compatible with ti backup so the busy box that comes with ti back up needs to be used.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
Really it works fine for me same version of busybox that i use in all my kernels.Try reloading Ti when its running and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I actually tried installing an updated version of BusyBox from the market and it finds TWO different installs??? And both are old versions lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
Updated OP.

I added a link to a fully compatiable Rom Manager kernel.Try it out its just as fast as vaersion 1.0.1-2.Enjoy everyone.And I want to thank Koush for the recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] raiderep:
I have this running and recovery works fine as well as the kernel. Rom manager is nice to have so my thanx goes to skeeter and koush. Its late so I will report any issues I have tomorrow if any arise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
OK I apologize for this but it was very early in the morning when I put this up but I fubar'd my root scripts in the RM kernel it is fixed now please redownload and apply the new zip.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
That explains a lot lol. My battery has been draining like mad all day and I noticed that JuiceDefender was having all kinds of errors. Re-downloading and applying now....
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
OK it was still broken but i promise its fixed now.The battery drain probably wasn't cuased by the kernel some people have had problems with android system running away and draining battery but it has nothing to do with the kernel they have flashed back to the stock kernel and still have had issues with battery drain and android system running away on them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
I wasn't implying that the drain was caused by the kernel, I was saying that my battery was draining because JuiceDefender wasn't able to disable the APN because my root access was broken. D/l-ing update now. Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] samurayx89:
Can i use this kernel with noobnl's Andromeda Galaxy v1.0.3 ROM?

to fix root/rom manager on this is skeet hasnt..

put the phone into debug and

adb shell
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cat /sbin/su > /system/bin/su
reboot

and all will be better
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
Yes actually this kernel is fixed now if you downloaded it anytime during the day yesterday though I had the wrong file in the zip. Please redownload and reflash it and it will be fixed the kernel v ersion in aqbout phone should read as 1.0.1-4 if you are running the correct version if it does not your kernel is not rooting correctly so please redownload and reflash. Adding in the compatibilty for rom manager added some bugs to mmy root method it was a simple fix but I uploaed the wrong zip file which made thing worse. All is well now please redownload and reflash.

Quadrant reports a score of 800 with this kernal :-\
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
It comes down to a toss up of performance over battery life a benchmark don't mean a thing in the real world this kernel performs just as well as the fist kernel i posted I am still debating which on I like to use more.If you would like I can rebuild a performance version and one that is better on battery, personally I would rather battery life over bench mark scores.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I think us Epic people until froyo comes out we want the performance then when froyo comes we will have the performance from that then we can worry about battery life. We are competing with the other androids to be the fastest LOL.

[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
If you have Superuser.apk already installed uninstall it before you flash the kernel flashing the kernel will install it in a different place then if you have it installed off of the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jsanta11:
Just installed the battery one, just wanted to make sure i don't have to install setcpu if i don't want to, the kernel is automatically set already correct? By the way thanks for the hard work.

Epic4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
I am pretty sure it sets the cpu to 800mhz default i haven't checked it yet but thats what it was set for on my last kernel that I built that way.I don't like messing with setcpu on this phone it hard locks it sometimes.

Edit: Yes it is set at 800mhz its still very snappy though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jsanta11:
Thanks yep no complaints here, loving it. Just asking have you tried running the phone at 600mhz ,would the difference be real big or just slightly ?

Epic4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
No I haven't tried it the low yet I don't think it would make too much of a difference to how it performs though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Thank you very much :)

Kernels are updated to DI18 same configs as the last two one for performance one for battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Thanks a lot now i have to decide whether or not i want performance or battery. WHY DID u have to do this?!?!?!?! :( lol JK im still running the 1.03 version that isnt performance or battery? Is one of this worth updating to im using the d1108 update or whatever it is called. Although i could just download them both and flash them when i want performance then battery. Depending on the day hmmm.

Hey skeeter is the kernal suppose to say sph-eclair?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
Which one are you running?

Edit: ok I tried something out and it didn't work they are the correct kernel I just tried to have then change the kernelversion line instead of the build number line.I'll tweak them now.

the battery saver one? im going to try the other one soon.

Edit ok i tried it again and it says im running sph-d700 eclair d107 however i still have the newest update. And now my phone went to sleep and wont wake up i am going to have to do a restore. but its all good.
