i have this same problem too...

mine is also on an old version of the firmware and when i select the option to search for an update, it says none are available, when i know that there is a more up to date firmware version...

any ideas anyone?? thanks
[Wildfire General] Jerra:
I had the exact same problem when I bought my Wildfire yesterday; it wouldn't work on my Windows 7 64 desktop...but when I tried it on my old XP laptop it did.

Then, on a hunch, I took the phone back to the Windows 7 desktop (without the debugging set) and it worked!

Why, I have no idea but it's all good now.

[Fascinate Android Development] tallnerd1985:
I noticed that the community has not successfully made a Kernel thats works without doing a boot-loop. Could it be possible that there is E-Fusish type security measure, like the Droid 2 and X, that prevents users from loading custom kernels that Verizon implemented? Thats the only explanation I can think of why we are having issues with our Galaxy versus other carrier's versions.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
Samsung gave us a BUNK defconfig

the bootloader's not locked, kernel isn't signed

I've got a working kernel that boots, but the accelerometer is screwed up
[Fascinate Android Development] tallnerd1985:
Sorry for my next noobish question but has anybody sent an email to Samsung about getting a fixed source code or is it pointless until 2.2 drops?
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
pointless? I guess that depends on who you ask. But yes, Samsung has received much electronic mail from smartphone enthusiasts over the past few weeks.
[Fascinate Android Development] tallnerd1985:
I will talk to my Samsung rep to see if there is anybody I could escalate this to in their North America branch to get this fixed but highly unlikely thou.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirrk:
@Jt

I will be back on irc tommorow, but I have the accelerometer fixed on my kernel just no wifi, bluetooth or sound still. Have you found a fix for any of these, or are you still using my config?
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
AFAICT everything works now. I started with your config as a base

[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Very nice gang.. I will block off some time for sure to stop in and see what's shakin' this evening..

Dirrk.. what initramfs are you using? I was able to compile with yamaha_b5 and your ramdisk, then I got the no sound/orientation/etc.. However it seems when JT compiles, he uses koush's ramdisk, and gets sound (orientation still off).

If I compile with b5_yamah + koush ramdisk (from his git), Odin fails to flash every time. If I switch back to your ramdisk, odin flashes, kernel boots, etc..
[Fascinate Android Development] spotmark:
Sounds like you guys are making some good progress. Thanks for your hard work. Can't wait to be able to overclock this sucker. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirrk:
Are you using a different ramdisk to get it fixed as mentioned below v

Can you send me koush's ramdisk. I have been out of town working for the past few days
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Maybe JT or someone at a linux box can tar it up if you need it as an archive.. I don't have any git software here at work.. :(

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeLL116:
....if this specific question....very specific question....was already answered...

:mad::mad::mad:

I can't stay connected to a 4g network. My evo will connect to 4g, stay on for 10 secs, and then disconnect. Then I have to manually reconnect, and the entire process repeats. Before you go passing judgement please read the following:

- I've used terminal emulator to make sure my WiMax Mac is correct.

- I'm using radio 2.15.00.09.01

- Installed a stock version of the OTA 3.29.651.5 and rooted it using this thread: [Guide] How to apply the new OTA 3.29.651.5 when you have clockwork and s-off (sorry can't post links yet)

- WiMax radio is 26023

- PRI is 1.77_oo0

- PRL is 60670

I read something about increasing the timout reconnect from 10 to 300 in another thread that I have bookmarked.

My question is this

Is this the normal function of the WiMax code or does this have something to do with the rooted rom I installed?

Is the only way to fix this done by changing the timeout value mentioned before?

Once again, I will blow my head off if this has been answered before.

Thanks:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Shouldn't have anything to do with the rom. Have you ever been able to connect (and stay connected) to 4g? Are you in an "official" 4g area? from what I've seen, the disconnect issues you're describing are normal in areas where they're still rolling out 4g, but it isn't fully up and running yet.

You can also try renaming the xxxx.tree.xml file in /data/misc/wimax/ while the wimax is off, and letting it rebuild the xml file again the next time you turn 4g on - but I think this only helps for the constantly scanning issues. Note that you're renaming that file (instead of deleting it completely) so you can go back to it if you run into any issues.

And you've ensured that while YOU may get advice and a solution, no one in the future will be able to use that same advice because this thread isn't likely to show up in a proper search.

......you are correct....I understand....that is why I'm going to change the title of the thread. Are you looking for me to say I'm sorry or something?

correct me if I'm wrong, but the site also indexes the content of the message as well. I'm very familiar with SEO and understand that a lot of indexing logic places heavy emphasis on the title of the thread, but the keywords in the content of the page also have a lot to do with how the thread pages get indexed. It doesn't solely rely on the title.

Just to put this to an end, I'm sorry for titling this thread as such?

[Touch Cruise Android Development] cruiserrr:
Hi, I have been testing several NAND set-ups

-system to NAND and data to resized data,img

-system to resized system.img and data to resized data.img

-system to NAND and data to ext2

...

I am currently using NAND and data to ext2 partition, so all apps are installed there. After lots of reading I can not understand posts that are obsolete and posts that are not so I would appreciate if someone can explain me the basics and optimal setup for incubus superfroyo RLS14/15 roms:

I have now 4 partitions:

1) fat32,

2) 1,5G ext2 (app, app-private etc),

3) 1,5G ext2 (lost+found folder) and

4) 96M lynux-swap.

- How can I turn ext2 to ext3? do I need to do so? I have also read about ext4. Upgrading to ext3/ext4 applies to my 2) partition, to my 3) partition or to both? will I loose data stored? "there is no ext3/ext4 fs because there isn't the support on the compiled kernel. Ext3/ex4 are journal file system so are bad for limited writing device like nand or sd and thre is no good rease to use it" answered by l1qd1.

- How can I check if my lynux-swap is enabled and used by the rom?

- Do partitions 2) and 3) really need to be <1,5 G? why so?

- Can I take apk from apps folder in partition 2) in case I want to keep them for future fresh installs?

- What is lynux-swap optimal size? a 1,5G partition would be worse than 96 M? Why?

- Which tools are you using with incubus roms to manage installaion location and similar functionalities?

Another big mark I have is about deoxeding installed aps (not belonging to the ROM). Should I do it? why? how?

Pretty basic stuff I guess for experienced users & programmers, but I am new to lynux and android. Have read lots of things but it is difficult to learn by myself what would work with our Polaris and incubus ROMS and dzo/kk kernels,
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pl0ppy:
Stick to ext2 man, you won't turn your old engine to 240mph on a Ford Model T.

You're not getting some major boost if the hardware dosn't use it, so I'd stick with ext2.

And you also want Super FroYo on your ext2 partition, yes? I'm here to help.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
- How can I check if my lynux-swap is enabled and used by the rom?

adb shell

free

if on swap you have 0 it isn't enabled.

swapon /dev/device

to enable it or i suggest you tu use compcache.

- Do partitions 2) and 3) really need to be <1,5 G? No

- Can I take apk from apps folder in partition 2) in case I want to keep them for future fresh installs? Yes but not all apk support this

- What is lynux-swap optimal size? a 1,5G partition would be worse than 96 M? Why? Too Big = more sparse but it's a problem only for real disk so you can create a swap big as you want but it's unuseful (100 M is enaught)

i suggest you to switch to my kernels because are more updated and kk move to another device.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pl0ppy:
Yah l1q1d I love ur kernels. Eager for more :D!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cruiserrr:
l1q1d, I am testing your kernel as you advised me. I could apply the wifi patch without problems using your androiupdate18-09-10, as you told me some time ago they are both 2.6.25.

However I do not manage to turn linux-swap on: that's what I do: I install ubuntu, I use G-Parted to create partitions on the sd card. When I do so, the third partition is always shown as linux-swap in G-Parted but when I test adb shell -> parted -> print, it always shows as ext2. I can not dismount and can not swap on it.

The other way round, if I deleted all partitions with G-Parted and create the partitions with mkpartsfs or if I use mkfs to change the third partition from ext2 to linux-swap, then sometimes I can swap on it (directly on adb shell or with G-Parted) but when I unplug the device will tell me the card is empty and will not be able to mount it, access it from ubuntu or from the device. If I reboot then, the system will hang until I install both data and sysetm to nand. This happens no matter if I activate or not from the polaris or even if I switch on or off usb mode. The card at that point is useless. I guess the partition table or some other basic file is messed.

Could you please explain a little more how can I come with a 13.5G fat32 partition, a 2,4 ext2 partiions and a 0,1 lynux swap swapped on partition??

I really need to test this set up, since with the standard set-up (system to nand, fat32 for files and ext2 for installed apps I can not install all apps I use since performance drops significantly).

regards
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cruiserrr:
well, ... dumb me, maybe with compcache you are referring to launch a script?

where do I get this compcache.sh? how do I launch it? from adb? from the terminal? from the sd card?...
[Vibrant General] nearblack:
As much as it hurts to say it, my Vibrant is really starting to lose it's charm.

When I first got it, the hardware was great, and the phone ran perfectly. Now after having it for over a month, this is what I'm starting to see:

Lack of life in the market. I see no new innovative games or apps. All the cool apps I downloaded have been on the market for a while.

Lack of development here. There hasn't been much progress in developing in cool ROMS that would make a huge difference on my phone.

The phone is becoming more slow, and not as fluid. Even the 1 or 2 second delays just bothers me to be honest.

Lastly, lack of initiative from Samsung. I know we have all been complaining about Froyo, but it just boggles my mind how little Samsung has been paying attention to it's existing customers. I hope it comes back to bite them sometime in the near future.

These things are becoming more and more apparent to me, and every time I look at and use my phone, I don't feel like I am using a solid, fluid phone, that I can try a lot of new things with in the future.

This is not a complaining thread, so flamers - gtfo.

I just wanted to see if anyone out there sees the same things I am seeing, and if there really is not potential left.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
i fail to see how the lack of quality apps in the market falls on the vibrant
[Vibrant General] nearblack:
True. This is my first Android phone, so I paired the OS with the hardware.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
Bye bye ...

But I want to point out some flaws in your logic ...

Lack of life in the Market? Maybe you should change what you are searching for our use some alternative markets, as there are tons of new apps ...

Lack of dev here? Ummmm I have had like 7 diff custom roms on my phone and had it less than 2 months ..

phone slow? I am sure that is caused by all the crap you installed, that really is the only thing that slows the phones down, is having 17 million things running.

Not gonna defend Samsung, but just so the info is correct, Samsung sent 2.2 to all the carriers at the same time, so actually it is Tmobile that is slowing it down, not that makes the wait any less painful ...

And the big thing I wanted to say is ending your post by saying "flamers -GTFO" is like dumping a gallon of gasoline on yourself and running into a burning building and expecting not to catch fire , smarter thing would have been to not even post.
[Vibrant General] Spiffywerks:
But.. all in all, it's a phone. There can only be only so many cool games for your phone. Great games for consoles and PCs don't come around all the time either. Sometimes you have to wait years for something great to come around again that's a "must have." We are talking about a phone. It's mobile, has some cool stuff to play and do on it... but it's still a phone. It makes and recieves calls, text, pictures, data, etc., lets you browse the web, and other cool little things. It's not, nor ever will be a desktop replacement. No mobile device is perfect. If you want something better, try making it yourself, otherwise, just deal with what we have and work with it.

The "newness" is probably wearing off, but that happens with anything.
[Vibrant General] Casshern:
This topic is painful.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
I can complain and nitpick with the best of them, but my personality sort of forces me to put things into perspective.

Firstly, I'm extremely pleased with my Vibrant. Though GPS at times has a mind of it's own with the post JI2 fixes it performs adequately for me while driving. I'm sure there are those who have a vested interest in the GPS being more reliable and accurate to be sure, I'm just not one of those people.

Getting beyond the GPS there is very little I can complain about. Among my friends there are a wide variety of smartphones. Several iPhones (3gs, 4), EVO 4G, several 3g Slides, several more MT3G's, and two friends with "other" Galaxy S phones, a Fascinate and an Epic 4G. I come from a past filled with a Behold II, a G1, a Palm Centro, and an original iPhone. And this phone is way better than any phone I've ever had and generally better than most of my friends phones I've played with.

In a forum like this one we have a tendency to get "tunnel vision". Forums like this exist for users to help and inform one another, but through this minor snags can get blown up into major headaches. I'd invite anyone angsty about the Vibrant to go see how the other half lives over in the HTC, Motorola, and LG threads and see that it's relatively a bed of roses for us in comparison. At least that's my take given my casual peeks into the forums for the other new smartphones out.

This doesn't mean I'm giving Samsung or T-Mobile a "get out of jail free" card. Both Samsung *AND* T-Mobile have horrible histories when it comes to updating Android devices, either in a timely manner or even AT ALL.

T-Mobile, to it's discredit has yet to have a single successful (meaning the update wasn't pulled at some point for problems it created) OTA of any android device since 2009.

From looking at Samsung's handling of the Galaxy S, given a cursory glance at it's own wonky revisioning system, it's no wonder that it's taken far too long for 2.1 to get fully fixed and 2.2 to progress beyond beta. Releasing this platform on a ridiculous amount of carriers, whilst simultaneously trying to cater to those carriers customization demands has obviously led to an extremely fragmented development process for us. A victim of runaway success, or a victim of their crappy development processes, it's difficult to say.

Either way as consumers we should be adamant that T-Mobile and Samsung take responsibility for their products. But, at the same time, we should step back and realize this is a smartphone and ask ourselves if it's doing what we want it to do.

If it is, then take a deep breath and count to ten. If it isn't, then take a look at how the rest of the smartphone universe is really functioning before you jump ship, only to be disappointed all over again.

Some of peoples ire here is buyers remorse, focused and whipped into extremes because of where you happen to be focusing your attention. Do what I'm about to do, which is pick up my Vibrant and call some friends so we can all go unplug with some tasty sushi and sake! :)
[Vibrant General] sp4rky:
Well said. The only thing that bugs me with the Vibrant is how long its taking to get the GPS fix out but other than that I am 99% satisfied.
[Vibrant General] Mahditkd:
I completely agree with every point you made! It kind of being a let down, coming from having 2G, 3G, 3GS iPhones...I really sometimes miss the availability of all apps on the apple app store...HOWEVER...I think Andriod is going to surpass Apple app store and OS, just give it a little bit of time and you are going to be much happier.... I remember having the same type of frustrations when the 2G came out, specially not being able to forward messages, copy and past, lack of updates....etc... and plus the drop calls of iphone/att.. So give some time for Samsung and Andriod to grow and I think all of us going to be much happier with Froyo.
[Vibrant General] TheShadowMan:

The Galaxy S has never really been "fluid."

Scrolling has a "jerky" feel, which is immediately apparent if you compare it to the iPhone.

The EVO is also noticeably smoother than the Samsung (although still not as fluid as the iPhone).
[Vibrant General] f1restarter:
The "jerky" feel is due to the OS rather than the hardware as the vibrant has an equal or faster processor than the iPhone according to Anandtech review not to mention a much faster GPU. Also in the review it called the SGS as the fastest android even after using the EVO previously. I agree that the iPhone has the smoothest scrolling as I used to have the 2G and even on that, scrolling was extremely smooth.
