[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoroxeus:
Hi

I just deleted by accident a whole thread of text messages.

I know I can't recover the text messages as a nice thread back on my phone.

What I am trying to do however is to access *all* of the internal memory.

Make some sort of raw dump of the whole internal memory (where text messages are stored as well) and browse it with a hex editor in the hope of finding pieces of my text messages with my gf.

Is it possible ? are there better solutions ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed10000:
I have no idea if this is possible or not, but if you value your text messages so much, you should seriously consider using an app such as SMS Backup to backup all your messages to gmail automatically, like I do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoroxeus:
I am aware I had to back up and how to do it... but I just wanted to know how I could access *all* of the internal drive of my phone even the supposed 'free' space... ?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftmania:
I have this problem with my Vibrant in that whenever I receive a text, there are two notifications in my status bar. I use handcent sms and disabled the notifications for the default messaging app, but I still get two notifications, one being the handcent and the other is this small white rectangle that looks like an envelope. is there anyway to disable the small envelope icon?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdveteran18:
Delete Handcent and see if the problem still occurs when you set the regular messaging notifications back to normal. if not re-install the Hanndcent application, disable the notifications first for the default then set up the hanndcent ones. See if that helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftmania:
I did that, then turned off all notifications, but i still get the white envelope.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebone:
Are you sure you don't have a third sms app installed? That "white"envelope is suspicious.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradanomics:
White envelope is the default Handcent icon. I get the same thing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebone:
My handcent always defaulted to the blue one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftmania:
Nope, only Handcent is my only other SMS app.

My Handcent icon is the default blue one
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebone:
What does it do when you hit "test notifications" in the handcent notifications menu?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftmania:
Umm, I just formatted my phone and I'm gonna reflash Bionix 1.9 to see if it's fixed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxrealtor:
Anyone else notice a rattle sound when the phone vibarates?

Its driving me nuts!
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
Probably the camera. That's what rattled on my old N1 anyway. I don't hear any rattle on my G2, though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
None at all. It might be the screen rattling, because the hinge is weaken?

Just a guess
[G2 and Desire Z General] womandroid:
No.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rwbarnes67:
Is is on the counter when it vibrates? It could be the metal battery cover on the hard surface.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Aeindei:
On mine, it seems like the noise the vibrator makes is more noticeable than the actual vibration. It's very annoying and I disabled vibration everywhere I could. Interesting to know that not everybody has this problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] merkwa:
mine used to not rattle but i noticed it one day it only rattle when the the fones not slide open
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxrealtor:
Thanks for the replies!

Mine is definitely making a rattle noise like the spinner inside is loose.

I've tried it with the screen open also with same result. My iPhone did this also.

God I hate taking phones back.

How is everyone's signal on the G2? I read once that the radio isn't the best. I seem to only get edge in my house and I'm surrounded by great service area. Att always gave me 3g inside.
[G2 and Desire Z General] merkwa:
mine used not to rattle when it was closed but it started to rattle one day and only appears to rattle for me when its closed

and i get a constant 3.5 megabtyes down and 1.3 megabytes up
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zed Snardbody:
Mine does the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one, I thought I was losing my mind.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synpax:
So there are some threads with this topic but no answers.

I have Cyberon installed which works great. But it doesn't show up as a regular program (I have to navigate to it in the program files) and the hands free button on my bluetooth speaker (Moto T505) doesn't trigger it.

I saw the tab in setup of Cyberon to disable the BT Handsfree button, and it isn't checked.

I'm running a relatively recent NRG Rom.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ullrotta:
My Vibrant is stuck in some kind of groundhog day-ish nightmare, where I get a lot of FC.

Long story short: I did a Clockworkmod backup of my system before installing a different mod. I decided to go back because of some minor issues, but after trying to restore the previous ROM, my Vibrant seems to be stuck in between roms. It retains elements from the old rom no matter what I try to do. I get cascading FCs, and Market is missing. When I try to use ADB to put the rooting update.zip onto the SD, it seems to go OK, but when I open up the SD through Files viewer on the phone the file is gone. I seems like I cannot write properly to the internal SD.

Now when I try to get back to a previous ROM backup (I've got to backups) the phone hangs at the Samsung Vibrant white text startup screen.

At this point I'm really only after getting rid of everything and starting anew, but it seems like I can't properly reset the SD card, and so I'm stuck with this FC nightmare.

Do you have any ideas I might try?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soccerdad:
Try flashing the kernel to the version of your nandroid. I remember reading that nandroid does not backup tne kernel. I had this happen to me the first time I tried to go back from bionix rom. I did know about the kernel thing so I just stayed with a nonstock rom. Glad I did because I didnt get the ota update which soft bricked a friend of mine's vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ullrotta:
You mean the version of the ROM backup? In that case I should use Odin to flash the kernel, then try to restore the backup?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soccerdad:
Flash a rom with the kernel of the nandroid you created. If u can flash the rom u where trying maybe u can get your phone to mount and copy a rom with the kernel you need. Did u make a paid version of Titanium back-up? If u did i have been real happy with Bionix 1.8oc,kingklick. Looks like there is a 1.9 Bionix. Try it out his stuff is really good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ullrotta:
I really appreciate your advice.

Problem is, nothing gets written to the internal SD. System changes, but everything that is on the internal storage remains the same no matter how I try to delete it. After I flash a new ROM, the standard applications change (bloatware, Samsung specials etc), but the ones I had installed before like RomManager and MyBackup Pro are still there. I think this is what is causing the FCs.

I need to find a way to brutally and thoroughly wipe the internal storage completely.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soccerdad:
Try using odin and flashing Eugenes froyo that does not brick. maybe that will help. Try a different usb port, computer or usb cable. If not post a new question about your internal sd.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ullrotta:
Still not working. I found something interesting though - the timestamp for the folders

drwxrwxr-x system sdcard_rw 1969-12-31 19:00 sdcard

drwxr-xr-x root root 1969-12-31 19:00 sys

dr-xr-xr-x root root 1969-12-31 19:00 proc

This seems weird.

Any thoughts?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soccerdad:
Looks like New years Eve 1969. Sorry man I wish I could be more help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
I think if you try 'Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick' and you still can't get back to stock you are screwed.

I'm curious why the restore of the previous ROM did not work the first time. What ROMs were you going/coming from? Did you stop the restore in the middle? I've found you have to be VERY patient with any sort of backup or restore. It can take a LONG time. I even make sure I have enough battery life before embarking on a restore.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
your phone just needs some pr0n 69-style

I suggest you ODIN it to JI6 and try again with your ROM adventures.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quest4fire:
Reflash the backup via Clockwork and make sure that you select wipe all data and cache. After re-boot go back to clockwork and use fix permissions.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ullrotta:
Trying to reboot after the reflash of backup only leaves the phone hanging at Vibrant Samsung in white letters. It does play the little intro tune, oddly enough, but doesn't progress beyond that.

Thanks for all the help so far. Please, if you have any ideas, let me know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzyto:
Hello everybody, I hace a Galaxy S from Movistar (Spain) and I have tried to update to Froyo from its first beta version. I always get the same error. All works fine (maket, wifi, keyboard) but the SIM card is not detected. The phone starts and no ask me for PIN code.

Yesterday I tried the new froyo and got the same error.

Now I'm working fine with JM8 and JM4 modem (and of course the SAME SIM card).

When I updated to froyo first time with the beta version, I got an operator error code. I downgraded, all work fine and after taht I free my phone.

Could anyone help me to jump to froyo?

Kind regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuse:
I doubt the operator thingy has got something to do with reading the actual card instead of just not recognizing his network. =/

Hardware- and softwarewise, you always get you pin verification, .. unless it's broken or you're missing a phone part?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzyto:
I use the SAME SIM card with JM8 and other phones without any problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macnessie:
I had this problem for the first time last night when I flashed to JP6. I finally got it working again by deleating the /efs/nv_data.bin and the /efs/nv_data.bin.md5 files (making sure the sim card is not in the phone when doing it)

I think the phone recreates those files from it's backup file. I'm a total noob at this and you might want to make sure this is correct before deleting anything. Is your product code correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
WATCH OUT WHEN DOING THAT.. You don't want to accidentally corrupt your IMEI (and I suspect doing that may cause that)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macnessie:
Thanks for the warning. I managed to take a copy of everything before doing it. I made the mistake of not doing this at the very begining before flashing the JP6 update and have now lost the correct CSC info for the UK, but at least I kept my IMEI :)

The search continues :confused:

hi,

i am not sure what i am doing wrong here, I am using pinky's ROM and I have the default and used ROM manager to partition the SD card to a 512 MB ext3 and the remainder 14 GB as FAT32.

I have set the EXT4 module is enabled and App2SD is set to external.

But I still cant get the apps to install to SD, using the method above to check it. The Ext3 partition is being seen, but the symlinks are correct.

Any ideas?

[Desire General] AndroHero:
The native apps2sd option has nothing to do with apps2sd+, set it to internal. To see if apps2sd+ is working proply use a file explorer to navigate to the /data/app directory and look at the availible space, if its the same as your ext partition. Its working
[Wildfire General] LeandroMarceddu:
My uncle also bought himself a Wildfire, set it up and everything went fine.

So we went ahead, made a WiFi connection, and tried to download something from the market, this is where things went bad.

I know you need to log in with your gmail account, as I own a wildfire myself and everything went flawlessly there.

Somehow neither his gmail account, nor mine, works as a login and it just returns a 'Service unavailable'. So we thought it might be the wifi connection and tried at my place.

There it didnt work either.. Im stunned, mine just worked out of the box, nothing to set up only login etc. and I just dont know what to do anymore.

I hope anyone can help!
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Try a reset to factory defaults by using the clear storage option in settings and see how that goes.
[Wildfire General] LeandroMarceddu:
Will try that as soon as I see him.

In the meantime, if anyone has any alternatives, please post!
[Wildfire General] noperation:
You can try Apktor.
[Wildfire General] a1exander:
If the Wildfire is in a non-english language, try changing it to english (in settings), go into market just for one time to accept the market terms of use. And if that works, you can switch back to the lang you used before.
[Wildfire General] LeandroMarceddu:
Thanks for all the advices! Ill keep them in mind when facing a similar problem!

However, doing a factory reset sorted out everything just fine.

Hello all.

I've have a problem whit the SlideIT keyboard in some applications.

It's an amazing keyboard when it works, and it works often, just this two programs...

I just got the JI6 update via kies mini, and I rerooted, put clockwork back on the phone, and now i'm trying to delete the bloatware again

the weird thing is, when I use rootexplorer like i did before, i'd delete the .apk and .odex files, nothing happens. When i go back to the homepage and navigate back to the system/app directory, all the ones i deleted reappear!

what's happening?

I had the same problem. For me the files were more hidden. I deleted the ones I found in the directory folder several times and it didn't work. I had to go deep into the files to find the correct folder.

Yup I just learned I had to do that last night, if I could ask though, Why? Its not like this on Droid, Eris, or Nexus that I've used in the past. Is it some sort of Lock HTC has put in?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
That's a good question and I don't know if any of us has a definite answer, if we did I'm sure some one wuold have figured out how to bypass it (not the overlay method). It's just how HTC or T Mobile set it up *sigh*

For now we have to do all system writes via recovery:mad:
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe333x:
This is what has kept me from rooting. I loved having the freedom with my G1 to do what ever I wanted when I rooted but its almost like even after rooting the slide your still not really rooted. You can get SU but if you try to delete a system app from the terminal emulator you cant. Once we have true root status I'll probably root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
I am pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that we still dont have a "true root". The /system folder is set to read-only or something along those lines when not in Recovery.

So I am tempted to get the mytouch HD, and just wanted to get some pros and cons from you guys.

Pros:

-Faster Internet (HSPA+)

-Better Processor

-Front facing camera

-A little bit larger screen 3.8, No amoled though I guess

Cons:

-Slower to get updates

-no color trackball notifications

No tempation at all; if you go to the store and play with a mytouch slide you'll see. The mytouch series of phones are a joke. The genius button is such a waste of space.
[Nexus One General] DroidRC1:
pro: 768MB of RAM
[Nexus One General] niftydl:
I agree the finish of the myTouch Slide leaves much to be desired, but to me it is still not as bad as the Vibrant. Also, the Engadget mobile podcast mentioned the finish on the new myTouch is much nicer (aluminum battery cover/etc) than previous generations.

We still don't know for sure which CPU/GPU combo is inside, but I feel like it is still a decent upgrade from the Nexus (before new phones next year). Also, the touch panel on the Nexus is driving me insane - I hope they used a nicer one on the myTouch.
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
At this point in time anything that is coming out to the market is going to better than the nexus one because its been awhile and the n1 is showing its age.

However the nexus one is still a very capable phone and should be a good performer until the dualies come out.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I have to agree with niftydl. This phone will be much nicer than prior MyTouch phones. That being said, I'm sure it'll still have nasty Espresso... that and the stupid Genius button taint the device for me.
