I did not have any problem connecting the phone to KIES, I was able to upgrade the firmware from JF4 to JG4, and been a happy SGS owner for a month now.

But yesterday I suddenly can't connect the phone to any computers. My laptop (Win Vista 32-bit) said that a USB device connected is not recognized. I reinstall Kies in my laptop and same thing happen. Then I switch to my PC (Win7 64-bit), USB device not recognized also appear. Reinstall Kies, still no luck.

What I just realized is that there is NO USB Indicator in the SGS notification bar!

Does that mean that the USB connector on the phone going bad?

I still able to recharge the battery but the USB icon dont show up.

I am now seriously considering the quality of Samsung Galaxy S! Way too much problems for average owner, and even for savvy owners this is just over the top!

What should I do now?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Find another computer or install VMWear and see once and for all if its your phone at fault. Also worst case do a factory reset. If no go then you might have a hardware problem. You could always try Mass Storage mode and see if you can mount the phone as external drive. Its not really the phones fault but I would say its KIES, its just a piece of ****. I have never been able to connect to it using 3 computers and I would say I know what i'm doing since I work in i.t. Also did you replace your Launcher recently? As KIES needs TouchWhiz as default launcher to work
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tupique:
I just tried to connect SGS to another laptop (Win XP 32-bit SP3, no KIES though). Same thing, the USB device is not recognized baloon show up and no USB indicator in the SGS status bar.

I'm going to Samsung Service Center, after calling them, they suggest me to bring the phone to the nearest Samsung Center. They said that this is not the first time and also said that the problem might be the connector or the cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
have you read this ? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8107646&postcount=50

Seems kies has a bug where it can't work with files with 16chrs or more.. Told ya KIES is a piece of **** :)

Yes, But did you try the Mass storage mode

Settings/About/USB
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
I always just use Mass Storage mode to xfer files. KIES is crap.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tupique:
As I said previously, my SGS has no problem at all connecting to Kies. USB Mass storage is working perfectly as well.

The problem I'm having now is the hardware (the cable or the interface) I guess, since I still can recharge the phone using the charger or the USB cable.

ps. I'm using Kies from Australia, the 1.5.1.10083.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Have you looked at the pins on the phone? are they screwed? Can you somehow find or burrow another Mini-Usb cable to test ? I have heaps as some of my external hdd's use mini-usb but you might have to buy a new cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gleff1:
Try this.. I wrote this a while back.. It may help. I know you suspect it's hardware, but it might be worth trying anyway.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tupique:
Thanks for the help guys!

It's purely hardware problem. Yesterday I brought it to local Samsung Service Center, and because they said this is not the first timer, the technician quickly open the device and gosh... dust and some fungus were collected near the microUSB port! I admit I

never

close the USB port, just left it open after use, my bad!

After some cleaning and testing, the microUSB is working again. :D

Now I'm a happy SGS user again! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
but that doesn't explain how it works on one Windows (Win7) but not on another Windows (WinXP)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tupique:
The SGS wasn't recognized in ALL Windows versions, since it was a hardware problem.

Now SGS is recognized in ALL Windows versions.

Hallo everybody,

I have got some problem with GPS in my HTC touch diamond. The phone went wrong when it got a little wet in rain. It was restarting all the time. It put it in service, but it did not help. After some time THC was completly OK except for my GPS.

Till then IGO8, TT, Ozi explorer and HTC GPS tool was OK and GPS worked. Bud since then any of these appl. does not work. I tried falsh ROM, use the latest HTC GPS fix, but nothing helped.

HTC GPS tool does not find anz setelittes and writes me:

MODE 2: Fix not available

Is GPS in my HTC hardware broken or is it some (???) softeare problem? I use COM port 4, Baudrate 57600 - the same as befere when it worked.

Thank you for any advice or help

Wondering if anyone else has had any battery issues? I went to sleep last night with about 85% or more battery, and 5.5 hours later my phone was dead....when i plugged it in for like 5 minutes to call my work and tell them i was going to be late...when i got to work my phone said 45% phone idle and 45% cell standby for battery use
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryccf:
none here - took phone off charger about midnight, this morning after alarm rang for the full 10 minutes, it still showed 100%

i've been watching it and am really impressed with battery life - is it possible you've got a program running in the background? - i had Startup Auditor to stop apps in the background but had that from before, on my Vibrant

on the vibrant,running a predominantly black wallpaper, screen brightness at 13%, putting phone in "airplane mode" when i sleep, keeping GPS off, data sync off etc, it'd be down to 17-22% at end of day before going back on charger

this G2, running live wallpaper (thunderstorm), no efficiency moves (ie GPS off, etc), screen brightness at 50%, phone still had 34% last night before going back on the charger - and the battery has not "conditioned" - i noticed on the past 2 phones batteries life got better after the first few weeks of use.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrbourque:
Nothing different than my nexus...and i was thinking maybe it was a game but that should have been killed automatically and i dont think it would say phone standby and cell idle if it was an app would it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryccf:
tonite you might try putting the phone in airplane mode when you go to bed, and turn off GPS

see what happens to battery drain overnite - if it diminishes then i'd look at what apps you've installed. there was an article on engadget not too long ago that some researchers had analyzed the 358 most popular apps, and found 30 were reporting data to their "mothership" that had not declared it or asked for permission to report data.

hope that helps
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrbourque:
well another weird thing is, that when i bought the phone and brought it home, usually it comes with half battery and thats what it showed but i had to charge it quick with no apps really installed on it yet...Im charging now and will test to see what happens with battery...i just removed off alot of my apps.... to see whats up
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaGeNeCySt:
I'm getting about 10 hours with regular usage though I wish I knew why Photobucket keeps starting everytime i kill it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcadia310:
I hope you guys charged the phone fully before you used it first. That can play a big role in battery life.

I got my phone yesterday and haven't done any calibrations yet. I've been playing with it like you normally would if you buy a new smartphone. I took it off the charger around 9pm last night and at 7:32am right now I have about 60% left. So roughly 10.5 hours later and I've only lost about 40%. I'm very impressed by that. My vibrant would have been dead by now, it rarely lasts through the night if its not on the charger.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigbyrobot:
What's your time with out signal, sounds like the 50% bug to me, google the airplane mode fix, if not you might want to look into a new radio, and you should allways recal your battery after you flash
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrbourque:
what do you mean time without signal? and cant flash the build or radio without root(if thats what you meant) im fully charging it now and removed all of my apps...and going to see what happens from there

Hi!

Is there a way to get Straight talk working on 6.5?

By Straight talk I don't just mean turning the speakerphone when the phone is face down, but using the 2 microphones to do noise canceling.

It's a shame not to use it and it renders my speakerphone useless as people usually hang up when I switch the speakerphone cause of all the ambient noise.

I've read that it worked on 6.1 and there were some options which I can not find on 6.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
I use the straight talk alot and never heard people talking about noise when calling with them...If nobody comes with a solution, maybe you can try a different rom from another chef?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kosmarnik:
Can you confirm that 2 mic noise canceling is enabled and working?

You should have extra menu items for it.
[Windows Mobile] Skrobel:
Dear Colleagues,

I'm trying to cook a ROM in Polish. I have handled almost all the translations, but I have a problem to find the place to translate Soft Keys when a system menu is used (see my screenshots). On the bottom there is still written "Close" and "Back" instead of Polish wordings.

These softkeys appear in many programs like File Explorer, pOutlook, Office applications, Notes, Windows Calendar, Windows Contacts and some others even though for each of these applications I have a proper *0415.mui files (found or edited myself), and all every other text in these applications (also menu items) is correctly translated.

It seems like there is some mui file, or reg entry which covers general menu appearance and texts but I cannot find it. I searched all my mui files for "Close" and "Back" strings (ASCII, Unicode and Hex) with Total Commander but without any outcome. Also searched in the registry of a cooked ROM for these strings. Also without results.

Does any of you guys have an idea where can I change these strings? Or do you have an idea how else can I search for them?

The sys build is: 21887, perhaps this is an important information.

Thanks in advance

Skrobel
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
CUIHandler.dll.<yourlang>.mui

(Menu Enhancement package from HTC)
[Windows Mobile] Skrobel:
Thank you very much!

But I have the file, it's translated and signed. It has only 3 string resources 102 (Back), 104 (Close) and 105 (Redy), but all three I do already have in my 0415 language (and of course all resources are marked as 1045). But the SoftKeys in menu still appear in English...
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
These two (three) Back&Close&Back are from this file, I know it, I translated it many times from chinese ROMs. Are you cooking the right file?
[Windows Mobile] Skrobel:
I hope so... In the original package there was no 0409.mui so I don't even know if the IDs have chaned. I took the 0415 mui from the stock ROM 21887 stock ROM.

And honestly I don't have influence on the package itself 'cause I work on dump not the full kitchen system.

EDIT: Ah, perhaps this helps: The menu enhancement package version is: 1_1_20191232_00 perhaps somebody of you has the correct 0409 or even chinese mui file for exactly this package?

EDIT2: I viewed the CUIHandler.dll with HexEditor. But I couldn't find there any of above mentioned strings even in English. Since there is no english nor chinese mui file for this library, I don't know where the system finds the strings afterall. Strange.
[Windows Mobile] Skrobel:
I've asked the original ROM Author - Jackos - for sending me the Menu_Enhancement packages. And here it is:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=404044&d=1284905153

As you can see, no mui files. But somehow the system still knows what to write in English...

Do you have any more ideas how to force these three words to appear in another languages?
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
Sorry I'm an ass, I said correct package (Menu Enhancement), but wrong file, I ment HTCMenuEnhance.dll.<yourmui>.mui

Sorry once again :D
[Windows Mobile] Skrobel:
Ahoj!

OndraSter, you are not an ass :p You're brilliant!

I just renamed my original CUIHandler.dll.0415.mui into HTCMenuEnhance.dll.0415.mui and it worked at last!

Actually I copied the file not renamed it as TC couldn't remove file "in ROM". But the most important thing is it works!

Now I started to wonder why!

Is it possible, that when one doesn't use Menu Enhancements these 3 strings are controlled by CUIHandler, and if one uses Menu Enhancement this function is "overtaken" by HTCMenuEnhance.dll?

Dou you have somewhere in your archives a HTCMenuEnhance.dll.xxxx.mui file from any other Menu_enhancement package (any language - even chinese or Czech)? I just wan't to check if there are no other strings that should be there. And I don't know how to create a mui out of whole dll (where to look for the resource IDs).

Zatím děkuji

Skrobel
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
These menus are "enhanced" by HTC, making dll CUIHandler.dll (forced name by MS) and enabled in registry. HTC has in latest versions of Menu Enhancement renamed the dll to HTCMenuEnhancement.dll, that's the all problem here, the string table is the same, just 3 recods (Close&Back&Close I think). Same as for original (old) CUIHandler iirc.

cant get my phone back up online

please help!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
I'm not sure what you mean??? Have you flashed an android NBH (kernel) to your phone or are you trying android from sd card using haret? If you have already flashed an android nbh then doing a hard reset won't work because windows isn't in NAND anymore so there is nothing to restore. You will need to get a windows mobile nbh from the windows mobile section of the forum and put it on the root of your sd card and rename it to KAISIMG.NBH. You then need to hold down the camera button and power button together and the phone should turn on and go to the tri-colour screen where it will ask you if you want to flash your phone, press the power button and when it says it is complete reset the phone using your stylus. In terms of your problems getting into the install screen so you can install android, have you tried holding down the centre button on the dpad, or once the writing has started scrolling hold down the centre of the touchscreen should also work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Have you got into the tri-colour screen yet? If not then pull your battery out and put it back in. Hold down the camera button while you press the power button and this should take you to the tri-colour screen which will detect the KAISIMG.NBH on the root of your sdcard. If you do not go to the tri-colour screen you have either not pressed both buttons simultaneously (i.e. pressed power before camera) or you have a hardware failure. Nothing that you have flashed will effect the tri-colour screen as this is hard coded onto the mainboard and cannot be overwritten.

Regarding Voodoo (maybe I'm wrong) , it was saying somewhere on docs that EXT4 file system is not compatible with KIES.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetCopAD:
You misunderstood. EXT4 is not supported by windows, but it does not matter in this case as voodoo only converts your data partition (the one your apps are installed onto) it does not touch your internal or external SD (those you are browsing on your computer).

I hope I can describe this accurately with my broken English...

I'm a long time user of the HTC compact qwerty keyboards.

Now I own the HTC Desire and I'm a bit frustrated with one aspect of the compact qwerty: the delay time between 2 letters on the same key.

So for instance when typing the letter 'a' two times you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can type the 2nd 'a'. It feels like half a second, which is way to long.

So my question: is there a way to change the delay to something like 200ms?

Surprised that this hasn't been answered yet. I know that there are apps on the market that do this, but surely if we can just figure out which apk files are responsible for the keyboard, we can just transfer it from a Chiense ROM.

Found out which apk is responsible for the Chinese keyboard: ChineseIMETutorial.apk

I read some other thread on the theme and app section, and it seems like there should also be a couple of related lib files.
