[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litobro:
Well perhaps you need to calm down and not act so rudely to the people trying to help you. There is also a simple explanation for this. The GSM/WCDMA modes are essential to be kept on if any sort of data connection is required. Obviously, not if you don't require the HSPDA or 3G connection, you may enable flight mode and turn on wifi manually. This has also been mentioned above.

In the way you have stated it, perhaps you should attempt reading all of the replies.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Choose "Phone information" -> Scroll down and there is a button to turn off the radio.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rav0r:
thank you!

@litobro, I am pleased that there are people trying to help, but repeating the same information over and over again just makes me feel, well.. bad!

@NetCopAD, thank you very much, that is the solution, wouldn't have thought!

@Adevem, you are right. But I searched over the internet for over 2 days and, well, I thought there is no easy answer. It really makes me feel a little dumb, but noone knows everything.

But, maybe, just maybe, it we kindly ask a mod, he would move this thread where it should be, if this is not the right section.

I am already thinking at an app that could switch automatically between Wifi and WCDMA. That's because I either need wifi or WCDMA. Switching automatically to WCDMA if there's no wifi (lost signal) would be great and would save battery.

So, if wifi signal falls below -xx dbm it would stop wifi and enable radio. We would only have to monitor rssi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litobro:
Have you tried the airplane mode and then enabling wifi?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rav0r:
Anyway, using the service code is a better option. Although an application that automates everything would be great.

Checkingt here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html

and here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/ServiceState.html#STATE_POWER_OFF

seems to provide the basics for an app that just comutes between wifi and carrier radio.

The app JuiceDefender might be helpfull.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hauseofraf:
How do I retain the chosen settings in this screen. For example, I would like to retain the option of only WCDMA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetCopAD:
You can choose WCDMA only, in the standard settings menu of the phone. Look for mobile network settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hauseofraf:
That's the thing, how do I specifically select WCDMA? In the secret service menu, there is no "okay" button to retain your selected choices. "home button" doesn't work, rocker buttons don't work etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetCopAD:
It's not in the secret menu. It's in the standard menu for mobile network settings.

Wireless and network -> Mobile network settings -> Network mode -> WCDMA only
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hauseofraf:
That's the thing, I don't have that path on my i9000M. That's why I'm wondering how to retain this via the secret menu.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVO-noob:
Hey guys I have a few questions that I've asked in other places but they are all slow to answer..

I am trying to flash to baked snack 1.8 with kernel 6, but wanted to keep everything on my phone so pretty much I wanted to see if I had the backup correct. or what back ups you guys use???

Edit: I used Titanium backup and backed up all user apps + system data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVO-noob:
bump for some help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
Actually, it's not a good idea to back up all the system data. The user apps via Titanium is fine ... google will back up all your contacts, calendar, etc ... even better if you have a gmail account. It's really important that you do a complete wipe (data, cache, dalvik) when flashing a different rom series. The little time it takes you to re-input the data, will be worth the effort in providing a stable system.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVO-noob:
I was thinking about doing it through ROM manager would that work as well or should I just do it manually?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOAlaboratories:
Title says it all. I can't figure out where all of this is stored on my phone so i can pull it. And what would i use to extract the guts of a zImage from a .tar i already have ?

I really want to finish developing my first ROM but i can't figure out how to create a whole META-INF folder or the update folder. Any uelp from our seasoned veterans would he greatly apprieciated.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unhelpful:
The stock kernel does not offer any means by which to extract the configuration. My github has a config in the work branch based on the default configuration suggested by Samsung in their source release, as well as several initramfs directories intended to work with the Captivate Eclair releases, with additional features like user init scripts, Voodoo lagfix support, and Clockworkmod recovery in place of the standard recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOAlaboratories:
Thanks unhelpful.

Righ now i'm trying to figure out how to create a flashable kernel out of a tar

Sent from my Cappy using mental telepathy, *****ezz.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unhelpful:
That depends on how you want to flash. Odin use GNU tar files, you can create or unpack these with GNU tar. They must not contain any directory structure, and may contain a file named zImage, which will be flashed as the new kernel, and a file named modem.bin, which will be flashed as the new phone/modem firmware. There are other recognized filenames, but these are compacted RFS filesystems, and we lack tools to create these.

Zip updates are entirely different, they contain a script that directs the unpacking of files from the zip archive. The unpacker doesn't support permissions or ownership, so the script needs to take care of that. You need to include special utilities to flash kernel or modem, or else use a modified update-binary that supports flashing these directly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOAlaboratories:
A flashing tool like redbend would work, right?

Sent from my Cappy using mental telepathy, *****ezz.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unhelpful:
Yes, but newer versions don't support flashing a single partition, only an update image we don't know how to build, and older versions try to reboot on exit.

You might want to look in one of my update.zip files, the latest release includes an updater that can flash kernel and modem, as well as support for programs run from updater-script displaying text on the screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOAlaboratories:
Alright, will do. How can i write it to wipe data if i used it to flash an entire ROM?

Sent from my Cappy using mental telepathy, *****ezz.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shep211:
There is update-script and the newer updater-script. They both use different syntax.

my only problem now is i can't figure out how to flash the kernel with an update-script without redbend and how to flash an entire ROM and kernel with an updater-script so i can format data... dammit.

thanks for the patience guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unhelpful:
It can be done with update-script, but it's probably easier to use my update-binary and an updater-script. You can also use a shell script, but you'll need to install a shelli yourself, and any utilities you want to use. My kernel installer contains an example of this as well.

I was trying to figure the same thing. Unhelpful do you think the cappy froyo kernel can be fixed to use it in the vibrant? Audio is broken when making phone calls also home/back / volume keys are inverted
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcaliburinhand:
Should be able to change the keylayouts in /system/usr/keylayout/

S3c-keypad.kl - Volume

melfas-touchkey.kl - Home and Back

Audio is due to a feature set in captivate stock kernel that in the end only works with captivate modems.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xalucardx:
So it cant be fixed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unhelpful:
Not sure, you could try installing a Captivate modem with the Captivate kernel, that might work. You might be better off trying to get an i9000 froyo leak to run than the Captivate one.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt533:
I decided to upgrade to Cog2.2beta5 from Cog2.1.4 today using ROM Manager. Everything seemed to go well but after install and reboot all I got was a black screen and subsequent reboots landed me at the same result.

So I thought restoring back to stock with Odin One Click from this forum, the one with all the ROM files built right in, was the best next step. I downloaded Odin and followed the instruction to the T and it got stuck at the PIT step. After a few attempts at it now my phone won't even power on. I've let it sit without a battery in for several minutes and even charged it on a wall charger for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't a dead battery. Still won't power on or respond at all.

I'm fairly new to all of this... Any ideas on what would cause a total melt down of the phone to the point of not even powering on? It has been flawless for me since launch.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibixzero:
Didi you download the drivers? also did you unplug the phone while doing the flash>/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l7777:
pull battery sim and sd if you have one

Wait a minutes or so

plug in USB

hold vol up and down

put in battery

If the phone does not immediately go to download mode, you have a fancy paper weight that doesn't even weigh that much.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt533:
I did download the drivers and from everything I could see, my system and Odin recognized the phone without issue.

I had to unplug it during the process because the process froze in the same spot for well over an hour. I didn't see any other choice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt533:
Guess it's a paper weight then because the phone won't power up at all let alone go into download mode.

Thanks for your time guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamonkey:
sounds like you might have done exactly what i did with my first captivate and yes it IS bricked! i know you will read "its impossible" to do that but i "thought" i followed the correct steps and flashed only a pit file. what it does is repartition your file system but apparently nothing is added after that...

not sure what steps you took on odin but it sounds like you got the same error i did and then the same issue so im going to assume the same thing has happened here...sorry matey:(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palmetto_X:
I had mine hosed for a while and this is what I did to get it back.

When it is unplugged and everything is out of the phone (sd, sim, batt) , hold the power button down for 10 sec, then release.

Put in battery, hold vol up + vol dwn, Plug into different usb port, Plug into phone.

That should get you into download mode
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Mine did this too and the steps mentioned fixed it for me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattbeau:
I too accidently only wrote the pit file and it wouldn't do anything at all just blank screen . Make sure you remove everything open Odin one click, plug in your phone with the USB cable, hold down volume up and down and plug in battery it should start in download mode. It does work.

What did you try to flash with Odin? (with version, variant #, with/without bootloaders)

What was the Odin log?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boangon:
nothing, no roms yet. i was in the first part of the instruction. this is what i follow

1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)

2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer

3. Open Odin

4. Enter Download Mode (see below)

5. Click Start

6. Be Patient, the first boot will take a while

where can i find the odin logs?

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Smokuevo:
i don't think it will work just like that. you need a lot of sense or such to make it work that's why it never made its way to cyanogenmod .. miui guys from japan know how to do it but i don't think they want to tell how to do it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rune222:
You can't run any sence app on anything besides the rosie launcher. You can sometimes install it but it won't work, the app is written deep in the framework.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shivers316:
Kernel most likely doesn't support it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mtrausch:
Something is definitely missing

Just to see what I got, I downloaded the attached APK and used adb to install it, and then ran “adb logcat” while trying to launch it. The result is that it force closes right away, and from the output of logcat it looks like it is definitely missing some sort of libraries.

I'd post the thing but it's huge. Essentially, though, it winds up crashing because it expects something to be present that isn't; that's likely this sense thing that others have mentioned.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jfwfreo:
I suggest reading (and following along with) the thread in the Nexus One forum about getting FM Radio going on that phone. My guess is that whatever those guys come up with should also allow FM Radio on the G2 once it becomes possible to modify the G2 kernel to get the relavent drivers running.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] legendary1022:
Like its been mentioned it usually requires sense and the kernel to support it. Only the sense roms on the nexus one could use it. Not a developer at all but from what I understand so far, it is what is required.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] legendary1022:
@cyanogen:

Sorry for posting twice in a row but as soon as I wrote that last post this was posted by the man himself. Should be promising.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Smokuevo:
it's working on the n1.. i assume you will need root to use it so if u plan not to root then don't expect to see it. for now thanks miui for the help.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mejorguille:
Isn't the FM Radio a system app? That means that we won't be able to use it until we have write access to /system. So if you want to be able to even install it properly, you need to wait until we have root. From there we have to disassemble and find all the dependencies on the sense framework and port them back in. Also, I am sure that you'll need to use some of the corresponding libs.

I really wanted to delete this application since it is FC on me and messing up my phone. Is there a way i can get rid it from the phone else i might need to return this phone back to tmobile and get another one
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
You'll need a rooted phone to nuke the preloaded apps unless there is another way I don't know about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidcues:
i absolutely hate that app. its useless to a deaf person. This may be a good enough reason to justify using a task manager -- not for android, but to silence the tmobile parade of amazonmp3 and the stupid photobucket app. god!!!!!!! enough is enough. I have task manager killing both these persistently. i also hide the apps in ADW launcher -- when app drawer is pulled up - hit settings then choose group and you can hide apps.

Anyone know if reformatting the phone will help ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryder5:
Did you ever try running it or something? AmazonMP3 never runs on my phone but I've never hit the app either. No forcecloses here so a wipe should probably help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I've only had photobucket try to open once and i've never had amazon open.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
That sucks big time .man I only got the photobucket bug, where it trys to upload my photos but since im not loaded n it does. but maybe if u fuse enough about it tmobile will be backed into a conner and wil release and update that will let us uninstall this crap they have loaded upon us
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
My suggestion would be a factory reset and if that doesn't work then exchange it for a new G2 because i haven't had Amazon force close on me once.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vikramdhani:
Yeah i think i will just got ahead and do factory reset and if it still does not work then will return the phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
Or you can just try clearing the data from AmazonMP3 only (Settings-Applications-Manage applications). That might do the trick.
[Vibrant Accessories] Persanity:
If your like me you don't like to trust cheap plastic crap to protect your $600 phone, Thats why I have been researching which holsters work with the Vibrant since T-mobile doesn't make a good one themselves. If you have a Silicon skin on your Vibrant then I recommend the holster intended for the Droid X that is linked here http://www.usosmart.com/Motorola_Droid_X_Shell_Holster_Combo_p/vzmotxshc.htm

If you don't have a skin on your phone then I recommend the holster intended for the Droid Incredible linked here

http://www.usosmart.com/Verizon_HTC_Droid_Incredible_Shell_Holster_Combo_p/vzhtcincshc.htm This holster is a tiny bit too small so its a great fit

The Holster/shell combo intended for the Samsung Fascinate might also work for the Vibrant if you have a skin/shell, Link is here

[Vibrant Accessories] n2ishun:
Why not put the 2 hands in front of you to work and make a vastly superior product that fits perfectly ?
[Vibrant Accessories] Persanity:
Because every holster I have seen specifically for the Vibrant sucks. There are however some good Skins for it but no holsters I have seen that work with the skin on, Thus the reason for this thread.

[Vibrant Accessories] egrims:
I don't think the fascinate one will work because of the bump on the back of the Vibrant right? I was wondering the same thing about the fascinate cases since there seems to be better ones for that (especially Seidio). Anyone try a Fascinate specific case on a Vibrant yet?
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
I used to carry my G1 in a case designed for a wing. Now my Vibrant with a Case like the Barely There fits in it. ;)

I like to recycle as you can read.
[Vibrant Accessories] Persanity:
Sure, I'll just go ahead an fire up my 3d printer and 3d scanner and make a case that a large company can't even make. This thread is for people who like to adapt and modify existing hardware, If you don't like it then go away. Actually, let me ask you a question first, Why would you come in a thread specifically about using another phones holster with the vibrant, Then show a case made for it and then act like a ***** because our opinions about exsisting products differ? I don't like universal cases and I personaly think yours is ugly because I dislike leather/suede. EDIT:I found a post in another thread where you said you made that case and if you really did, good job, its not my style but good job.

egrims, I tested the fascinate holster/shell I linked to, The shell won't fit the vibrant but the holster does although its a little loose, If you have a silicon skin on your vibrant it should fit perfectly. As I stated above I am working on getting pictures for all the holsters I mention.
[Vibrant Accessories] kentot:
I tried my buddies fascinate combo holster from vzw. It fits pretty snug but the speaker is covered because the fascinate speaker is on the bottom portion of the back. And the camera is covered a tad but pics come out fine.
[Vibrant Accessories] Persanity:
kentot, Are you talking about the case/holster I linked to in the original post or the one thats just a holster? That one would work if the Vibrant didn't have the "chin" , If you put the vibrant in the case I think your referring to and shake it to simulate running it will fall out cause the bottom isn't held in.
[Vibrant Accessories] kentot:
Vibrant in Fascinate combo case from VZW

Yes I am talking about that case. Attached are pics of my Vibrant in the case for the Fascinate. (pics taken by Fascinate)

As you can see the case is pretty snug and will not fall out if shaken, Which I have tested... Vigorously.... LOL

The back shot shows how the speaker is covered and the camera lens is partly covered.

Edit: Bad focus job by me but at least you get the idea
[Vibrant Accessories] Persanity:
I thought you were referring to a different case then the one I linked. There is a "snap-in" Verizon case for the fascinate that won't work for the reasons I previously stated, basicly it doesn't snap in and any fast movements cause it to fall out
[Vibrant Accessories] joymonkey:
I had a T-Mobile leather holster/belt-clip case for my G1 and the Vibrant fit perfectly into it, a little tight with the T-Mobile gel-skin on it, but it fit all the same. That holster finally fell apart last week and I'm looking for a new one. The universal one that T-Mobile now stocks is too small to take the Vibrant with its gel-skin on.

I'm hoping that Best Buy or someone will have a universal holster that'll take it.
