[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamDowning:
Have you read the thread for the fix for Galaxy S variants that are lacking the 3 Button Combos? It's in Android Development. Maybe try that? Or, can you still connect the phone and connect with Kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danamoult:
I can't turn on the phone anymore, meaning no changing to USB debugging etc. And I'm having problem accessing recovery/download, even though I definitely HAVE done each of them once before and therefore do not have the 3 button problem.

Without turning on my phone, Kies can't detect it :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamDowning:
So what happens when you power on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danamoult:
Now, it shows the first Galaxy S splash screen, then shows the boot logo, then nothing. The boot logo continues to glow endlessly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okpc:
Be patient, i waited up to five minutes. If you see the s logo glowing/shining youare ok
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danamoult:
Yeah it's continuously shining. Haven't left it for up to five minutes though... And even then it probably won't help since I'm still locked out of the phone, and unable to access download/recovery mode to reflash it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danamoult:
After waiting for a long time, the logo disappears, screen goes black. Menu and back buttons light up. Nothing else.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantIntoCode:
Looks like your going to have to reflash your phone again. Download the desired firmware, open up Odin and put your phone into download mode and start the flashing procedure. Be more careful next time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
Good advice considering he said his 3 button combo stopped working =))
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhonal89:
All I did when I got that black screen was adb reboot recovery and wiped and phone bootedup fine. But only if you have debuging enable and and sumsung drivers. Hopes this help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danamoult:
Can't enable USB debugging when phone can't be turned on at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzYGuY:
Ok i did the same thing, and spent hours googling.

Tried the key combinations to restore, but never worked.

Heres what worked for me, but, be warned all your contacts will be lost if stored on the phone.

From another phone, call your locked number.

Answer it on the locked phone, then hit the "back" button.

This gives you full access to the phones menus etc.

Hang up on the phone you called from.

Now, go into Applications / Settings / Privacy / Factory Data Reset.

This worked for me whereas all other methods did not.

Once your phone is up and running again, be sure to create your google account on your phone.

That way your protected again. If you didnt previously have the account set up from your phone, like i didnt, then you cannot log in of course.

This works...give it a try. Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raspdeep:
you need to be able to enter recovery mode for you to solve this problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devabhishek:
dear friend dont worry or panic... i'll tell you a trick , go to the samsung customer care and tell them that your phone gets heated up very often and today it just refuses to boot up normally...

since your device cannot get into recovery mode or download mode the company will never know that you had played with the system files in the device or not... (rooted )..

since the samsung people will also try to get your device in recovery mode.. but when it will not go to the recovery mode you will get a mother board replacement under warranty.....

this heating up of the device is a common problem in the galaxy here in india.. so use this excuse and i know it works 100% ... (just dont tell them that you had rooted and lagfixed your device )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
What you describe sounds like a very large security hole if I am reading it correctly.

Are you saying that even if your phone has been locked out from too many lock screen failures, that just answering an incoming phone call gives you full access to the phone? Really?

I just checked on my phone and while I can answer an incoming call while the screen is locked, if I hit the back button or menu button, I just get the lock screen.

I'm missing something here...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devabhishek:
chill my dear friend.... it cant be true.... its just his 1st post.. and samsung cannot be so dumb to leave a password protected keypad that can be cracked so easily.. even i tried the back key on a call with a password lock.. i cannot get passed the lock screen....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Last-Chance:
Anyone know how to resize widgets? Without the use of adw launcher or launcher pro?

Unfortunately desktop visualizer only has 4x1, not 3x1 :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
ADW and LauncherPro are the only ways. Why wouldn't you want to use either of them? They're by far the best.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i hate Kies!!!!!!!!! it just died on me >.<

now when i plug the phone to the PC it shows up as "Unknown Device"

if i connect to another computer, then it works fine.

the thing was working fine until i tried uninstalling Kies to install a newer version of Kies :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Marcelo Reis:
Kies is the worst piece of crap. It is incredible Samsung can not get such a simple thing right!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
This is insane!!!!!!!

it suddenly started working properly now, without doing anything on the computer

now it properly identify itself as Android device instead of an "Unknown Device" :eek::confused:

Kies and it's crazy ness

i did not even reboot the computer
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Screenshot of Kies working when it feels like it...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bartek25:
i found the solution for the problem ...if you are using any of launchers from market launcher pro or awd launcher u need to switch back to stock launcher and restart the phone after u reboot the phone with stock launcher simply connect ur phone to computer after that ur pc should have no problem finding ur galaxy s ,np :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] almi88:
Why does it say: This device's version cannot be updated?

View attachment 405257
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's not necessary to reboot the phone

just run TwLauncher and it works right away, as long as the USB in the phone is not set to Debug mode.

The problem i was having was with Kies and USB port in the PC
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BrixtonBiker:
It doesn't appear to be anything to do with the phone itself.

I just plugged my phone in and got the "USB Device Not Recognised" error message.

I unplugged the phone and restarted it, but my computer is still flashing up the "USB Device Not Recognised" error every few seconds - without the phone connected!

I think the USB drivers are seriously flawed. I'm sick of reinstalling them just so I can connect my phone, which has become my standard way of resolving the issue.

Either that, or I've had to completely uninstall and reinstall Kies, a number of times, which usually works for the first few times I plug the phone in before failing again.

Pain in the ass.

I'm sick of this - and I'm kicking myself - as I suspected Samsung just didn't know how to provide software, based on lots of stories that seem to float around online about them.

I wish I'd stuck with HTC now.

fyi, I'm running Windows7 64bit, which seems to be a common platform to have problems with.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i only use Kies to check for Official ROMs downloads

i don't use Kies for anything else

all my syncing, calendars and contacts are handled online on Google
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bartek25:


Yeah let gmail sync everything but in 2.1 we didint have this option,or maybe I just missed
[XPERIA X10 General] JonEvan:
How good is the dell streak in comparison to the x10. From what i saw in youtube and various reviews, it's look and sound like a great device with MT and very fast plus 5in screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] dk2000zx:
X10 = Phone with 3G and everything

Streak = Tablet

Decision = Your choice
[XPERIA X10 General] JonEvan:
OMG where do you get your info from #!@*

Dell streak is a mobile phone with android 1.6 now available 2.1 update.

useless info.
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
But its still a five inch tablet... a five inch phone in your pocket?

I already feel a bit of an idiot with my x10 when making a call due to the size of it.. imagine that thing it'd be a tad comical
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
You need to check your history. The dell streak did not start life with the intention of being a smart phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] JonEvan:
And you need to use a bit of comon sense
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@jonevan - Hi.. It was always marketed as a tablet, but recently they've removed virtually all reference to that as I think they (Dell) have realised that it's probably too small to be considered a proper tablet..

But unfortunately, it's also too big to be considered as a smartphone.. it's sitting in some kind of nowhere land middle ground..

Compare the dimensions..

X10 - 119.0 x 63.0 x 13.0 mm

Streak - 152.9 x 79.1 x 9.98 mm

The streak is 34mm longer and 16mm wider (3mm thinner).. Just feels too big to be a phone to me.. but maybe you've got big hands?!
[XPERIA X10 General] Chewitt:
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT BY A STREAK,

I fix upwards of 7 a week, we didnt even sell 7 a week!!! They are riddled with Bugs, if you are in the UK chances are you will buy it on O2, ask the staff in the store about if there are any issues with the 2.1 update and it loosing features that just no longer work, Of also ask them about the charger port, Or the PC Suit, And thats just to start. Honestly Stear clear of the Streak its crap.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
It is to big for me, so there is nothing to compare. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] JonEvan:
Thank you very much sir for your info. I will take it onboard.
[XPERIA X10 General] JonEvan:
Thank you for your info and I've already know this but my query was with the current Dell streak mini5. Like I said use a bit of common sense, I am asking for phone comparison (not tablet and we all know x10 is not a tablet). Nevermind the gentlement had answer my query anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
I believe the Streak is a smartphone for Pro 7' NBA players and the like. Most of the rest of us would struggle to hold it up to our ear while talking!
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
While we're on the topic, why does the Galaxy Tab have the ability to make calls

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while.. Imagine holding up a 7 inch slab next to your face (with both hands obviously) Lets face it, when it comes to design, Samsung(atleast with their phones/tablets) lead the way in epic fails
[XPERIA X10 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
Maybe you should do some research, it only support calls when paired with Bluetooth headset.
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
"Maybe you should do some research, it only support calls when paired with Bluetooth headset."

BS...
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Was that meant for me?

If so: http://galaxytab.samsungmobile.com/

Maybe you should do even more research than I apparently need to
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Only to get Android Market on the Tab.. If it was Wifi only version it wouldn't have Android Market thanks to Google's policy and/or the Govt. of the county they are selling it in.
[Android Apps and Games] djmfxp:
How to install a first app without a pc or vpn!

Note: If market not accessed in your country (like me in IRAN) or not support your gsm operator (Like me again with IR-MCI) ;), you must connect to vpn for first problem and install Marketaccess.apk to emulate other operator (like t-mobile) for second problem.

Hint: Marketaccess.apk help you to install apps in external storage too.

This tutorial helps you to install apps without a pc, on air with 3g or wifi connection in your android device.

1- After install your new rom or after a new factory reset boot...

2- Start browser app

3- Go to www.slideme.org

4- On right column click the Sam 3.5 red button to download it…

4- After complete drop down status bar and click on it to install

5- Open Sam 3.5 and search for a file manager like astro, es file explorer or others..

6- Download and install full! Or free versions

7- Download apps with any browser and install it, or install any apps from your storage with file managers.

8- If you download apps from google market or any other market (like Sam) may need appsaver.apk app to save installed apps to storage for future installations.

Hint: You might need transfer your app to your android device without an usb cable or Bluetooth dongle. It’s possible if you have an access point. Just search and install wifi file explorer.

Note: I don’t know may I teach to search, download and install full version apk files for free, or not!?

Just PM to me to teach you….

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gigamaster89:
Is everything related to the Android OS stored in the Android folder we put in the root of our SD card? Does the system create files elsewhere?

Basically I want to know if I wanted to get rid of all traces of Android off my phone, would it be as simple as deleting the "Android" folder? (using Froyostone)

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Pretty much
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubbingt:
Android makes some other folders outside the "android" folder itself. If you want to get rid of all traces of it, I would recommend you back up whatever you need off the sd card and format it through WM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Conflikt Icey:
Wrong. Don't give out wrong information
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DontHate:
to put it basically some android builds stay mostly in their own directory

and some are installed to the root of the sd card.

but other system files end up on your sd card too. also any apps you may have installed may save their own data to your sd card.

you could delete android and put a new build on and reinstall an app and it could read its old settings from a folder it made on your sd.

if you totally want to start from scratch you really wanna format the sd card.

my lazy way of doing it is to delete all the files and folders i see named in the new build im installing, and then seeing what files and folders seem androidy and deleting them too lol.

i guess im gonna get round to formatting sooner or later
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Wrong information?

you dumb ****, I said pretty much

If you delete your android folder common sense should prevail in which other folders it can create to delete typically ones in lower case or starting with .

He should know what folders he had, depending how much you've used android would determine what other folders are created, so like I said

PRETTY MUCH
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Conflikt Icey:
Evidently he doesn't know which other folders were created by running android. If he did, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have asked
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
That's why we have a SEARCH button, it's there for a reason
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Conflikt Icey:
well obviously. My point is if you are going to attempt to answer a question, you might as well give an accurate answer as oppose to giving vague/wrong answers that don't help anyone. Or just don't comment
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DontHate:
ummm hate to interrupt but at least agree / disagree with my post??? lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Vague maybe, wrong not at all, all that's needed is a bit of common sense, if you and the OP can't figure that out I suggest you roll out that 3310 of yours.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
If you read my post after yours you'd see I outline the same route as you stated, agree.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] juggs:
You were about as useful the OP's question as he was.. :rolleyes:

As already mentioned, best thing to do is backup what you know you want and format it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shpatar:
I think DontHate's nickname sums it pretty much all up... :P. Relax.

To go back to the initial question, you said "get rid of all traces" and to me it sounds like you want to take it to service or something like that, and don't want to show that you were messing about with it :).

If that is the case, I don't think it will really matter what's on the card, more like you should revert back to your stock radio and stock WinMo rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
remove thefollowing :

android folder

.android_secure

.bookmark_thumb1

.footprints

com.google.android.apps.maps - if you use it

tunnybrowser - dolphin hd browser

you might have some others dependant on what you have installed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PoisonWolf:
Take it as a memory game.

Before placing any android files on the microSD card, take a mental snapshot of everything in the root directory of the card.

After usage, testing, the consequent removal of Android files need only be the files that weren't in the earlier mental snapshot.

That way, you get to improve your memory AND still use Android on your HD2 at the same time!?!?!??!?!

P.S. Do not forget the thumbnails folder in the DCIM folder.

[Desire General] eXDee:
I did a full wipe and flash for installing a new leedroid, doing a titanium backup as usual.

But after installing 1 app from it (es file explorer) I can no longer access the other backups.

On the sd card titaniumbackup folder is 137mb.

When it refreshes it says "287 loaded" etc but batch actions show 1 item available which is ES explorer. When I select this I can restore data for it from my backup.

Can't use the rest though.

Ideas?
[Desire General] hasi:
I've the same problem ...
[Desire General] eXDee:
Ah. I wonder if its leedroid. What rom are you using?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Check to see if a filter has been set in Titanium, causing the other backups to be excluded.

Uninstalled titanium, reinstalled from the market, now it says it cant get root. Superuser doesnt show it in the logs.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bigasif:
Hey Guys,

I've been running MYN's latest Warm Donut on my Kaiser for a while now, and it was the first Android build I ever used after using WinMo forever. It's pretty nice, but I was considering switching back to WinMo today due to stability.

Basically, I don't receive about 50-80% of my SMS messages. I get them now and then, but most of the time, I don't receive SMS messages sent to me. When I first flashed the build, it seemed fine (at least I think it did, unless I wasn't receiving texts then too) but lately it's just been getting out of hand, as I miss important messages, and that is really making me want to switch back to WinMo.

Another thing is the battery life, which has been pretty brutal since I made the switch (I'm hoping that's been resolved by the number of posts here about that?)

Anyways, if someone can let me know if the SMS issue has been resolved, and if there's a certain android build in which it has been resolved, that would be verrrry much appreciated. I really love Android compared to WinMo, but the SMS and battery issues are driving me insane :(

Thanks in advance for any help :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ghghgh14702:
I am using Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 rls15 and haven't had any issue with mms, maybe you can try that. I have an andboot folder zipped out there with all but the androidinstall file so if you are running on sd card you can use that. I haven't done nand yet as I like having winmo as primary so I can change up my droid install easily (and can pop the card into my laptop and access/change the system and data that way). Also make sure you don't use a notification tone too big or that may cause your phone to not load the notification correctly (this is an issue with most phones not just android or kaiser).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] linux26.android:

hate the text reflow on pinch-to-zoom in the htc stock browser?

found the hidden setting (about:debug, menu - more - settings - enable gep zoom), but it doesn't persist across reboots / full browser restarts?

this hack is for you

changes:

setting persists, you don't have to always go into debug mode to re-enable it

browser defaults to no reflow

double-tap-to-zoom is unaffected by this

requirements:

htc sense based desire (froyo) rom

deodexed framework libs/system apps

how to install:

please make sure your device/setup meets the requirements above

check your framework build number (settings >> about phone >> software information >> build number)

download the archive (zip) that matches your build number

copy it to your sdcard and flash it in recovery mode (as always, it is advisable to do a nandroid backup prior flashing)

enjoy
