[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
**I know I'm creating a new thread when there is already a consolidated thread for this model**

I've been searching the net for the answers to my problems and i've often found myself founding my key words mashed up in the middle of the Samsung Anycall thread and trying to look for the answer a few pages after intertwined topics. Please create a subforum for SHW-110s, I've spent two days scanning the entire thread and to be honest my brain stopped working after the third page I've read.

Enough about my ranting, here are my problems... I got this phone but all I got from the person who gave it to me is its charger and its case.

1. This korean phone has been known to have the "Invalid Sender" problem thru sms texting right? The fix I've found was to either install the handcent or edit your number. I can't find a phone with such feature and I've installed handcent but it won't send the message at all. I'm in the Philippines and I'm using a Globe Telecom Prepaid Sim. I've tried a Smart Telecom Postpaid Sim Card and the handcent app works fine. I don't want to switch sims, please help...

Solved

According to my friend most Sony Ericsson Cybershot phones have the function to edit your SIM

2. I bought a USB Data Cable, even downloaded Kies from the samsung site but everytime I connect my phone to the PC it tries to install it automatically and it fails everytime. I don't know if I'm missing something, I cannot find this problem being posted by anyone so far.

Solved

thanks to Kr0c0. donwloaded Kies from the korean site instead

3. Is it possible to use the DMB TV in the Philippines?

4. Is it possible to have Swype on my Korean phone? (I'm sorry, i've found this problem posted but I wasn't sure if the response (after several other posts) is the one I should follow, either that or I just couldn't process anything further anymore.

Solved

thanks to Kr0c0. should be possible thru update

5. Can I get Social Hub?

Answered

precious_mew seems we're stuck with the apps currently.

6. How big is the downloaded file if you choose to upgrade through Kies? Does it affect the 3G capabilities of the phone?

I would really appreciate any help. I sooo love this phone and would like to make use of it properly. Thanks in advance ^__^

Model: SHW-m110s

Firmware: 2.1 -update1

Baseband: M110S.DF20.1839.ST

Kernel: 2.6.29 root@sep-55 #2

Build#: Eclair.DF21
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kr0c0:
Hi I'll try to help you out. But I'm no expert. I agree a small corner for the m110s on this forum would be nice.

1. Apparently the iphone is one such phone which can edit your number. There must be one some where?

2. Had this problem too until I installed kies and usb drivers directly from the korean download site.

kr.samsungmobile.com/service/support/down/anycall.software.view.do?modelCd=SHW-M110S should do it.

3. Not sure about this. The Philippines has a dmb service?

4. Firmware DI03 has english swype only. Froyo should bring already korean swype too. When you get kies working your phone should update to this.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
1. So far, none of the people I've known owns an unlocked iPhone.

2. Thanks !! will try to download it right now

3. It doesn't work so I don't think we have DMB service...

4. Can I just directly upgrade to Froyo? are there dangers to that? (I'm not yet quite familiar with roots and flashes)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kr0c0:
We should wait for korea to update to froyo (hopefully soon) The froyo available now is for the i9000 which looks the same as our m110s but uses slighty different hardware (like the dmb stuff).

Kies is the official way to upgrade our phones normally but I think you should take another look at the mega m110s thread stickied here. I'm in korea so have had no troubles upgrading firmware but some people out of korea have had problems with their 3g service and possibly other things after upgrading.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
uhhh upgrade to what? so Froyo is not yet available for Korea but we can upgrade? ermm >___<
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
I've installed the Kies from the korean website and I have it up and running, I did some progress so far, it says "Connecting the device" but it keeps on doing that forever... I might still be missing something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kr0c0:
Did you pull down the notification bar on the phone and select connect by usb? Some older firmwares were picky like that. Also turning usb debugging on or off in the usb settings on the phone makes a difference too.

And I mean as far as updating goes. The last time an update for eclair 2.1 came for the m110s was mid september. But it only updates through kies so I assume you can upgrade to that now and froyo when it comes out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
Should i be on the USB debugging mode or not? I mean, my laptop tries to install the new device and fails...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
Even with Samsung Kies and the USB driver from the korean website, I'm still unable to connect my phone to my PC T__T

Here is the message I'm getting:

I've connected yay !!

Now all im missing are Social Hub, Swype, DMB TV and the updates... also to send sms message thru handcent T__T
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] precious_mew:
I'm also a SHW-M110s from the Philippines. You can just download the apps you need from the Android Market like Facebook, Twitter etc. As for the Swype, it will be available once you've updated your phone. I think the DH-07 has the swype. were you able to install the Handcent SMS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
I installed handcent but it wont send my messages thru Globe.

I'm thinking of upgrading the firmware... are there any dangers to that? I've read some 3G problems... Since you're from the Philippines, what can you suggest?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alovell83:
Have you set up an APN yet? If not, contact your carrier. It'll have the potential to help resolve your text message situation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
APN?

I am able to use handcent using a different provider (Smart Telecom)...

I can text via normal messages but I need to specify the sender everytime

With my current firmware, should I upgrade it to get swype or will it just cause more problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miocai:
Bump, still unsure if I should upgrade... please advise

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deppth:
At first i thought i got robbed and got myself a fake china phone. I then surfed the web & found out it was a real Galaxy S with a different culture. Well these are my workarounds:

1.) Upgrade to Froyo

2.) Edit your Sim "my own number" to send messages using any phone with sim management

3.) Install Launcher Pro and hide all those korean apps

4.) Install Handcent SMS for 160 char texting

5.) Manually create an APN for web browsing using 3G network

6.) Ignore all the korean characters you see (ringtones,etc.. etc..) hehe! besides, all the apps running on international galaxy S will definitely work on our korean model.

Hello

I just have a quick question about handcent.

So i saved some pictures that were sent to me and they get saved into the handcent/download folder just fine..i can view it and stuff. But then, when i copied another picture into that folder, it created another duplicate folder + the picture i copied. Now i have 2 folders with the same name and one with the original pics and one with original pics + new copied pic. I then tried to delete the pictures from the original folder and the pix in the new duplicate folder are gone (grayed out box).

Although this is a little problem..im kind of ocd when it comes to organization and the double folder thing just bugs me to no end. I hope someone has suggestions or can point me in the right direction to a solution.

P.S. It is my understanding that you cant pick which directory to save handcent MMS to, correct?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikewballou:
My phone was connecting with something today, then I had a message saying I had an update. So I downloaded it, it said I may wait up to 10 minutes, but it took less than 30 seconds and the phone rebooted. But it seems like its the exact same. I'm not sure if I even got the update. I checked in settings and its saying my firmware is up to date.

My vibrant is rooted, with stock software, with gps fix and lag fix. Any ideas? Is there a way to find out if its updated?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
From your home screen, click on the settings, go to About phone Look at baseband version, if it reads T959UVJI6. then you are updated.

I know absolutely nothing about linux or developing apps. I was just thinking would it be too far fetched or even possible to design an app that could act as a keyless entry remote that could be programmed to a vehicle? I'm sorry if this has already been asked, I searched for it but didn't find a thing about it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] matrix2004:
There's an app for a car alarm that has remote start, etc.

Of course the alarm system costs a few hundred bucks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] southcarolinacowboy:
Yeah I saw this and read about it. It said something about a fee of about $30.00 per year. What I was trying to figure is if you could make it work with the factory keyless entry to avoid having to purchase new remotes I guess, besides you always have your phone with ya. And if you lock your keys up you may still have your phone on ya.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacherjon:
Hi Guys,

I am kinda new to Android and the Evo. I have OTA update 2.15.00.07.28 and have managed to sucessfully rooted my phone using Unvoked 3. I installed Baked Snack 1.7 Rom with Low Ridder theme. I have Rom manager 2.5.0.4 with ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1. What I am having trouble doing is finding the system files! I searched the threads here / Google with no luck. I would like to be able to pull open all the system files from my Evo on my computer so I can better understand how Frayo 2.2 runs. When I boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and select mount sd card My files appear on my computer. However when I select mount system files nothing happens. I can't get a grasp of what mounting system files in the recovery does neither find a way to explore my Evo's system files. I saw a rooted app avaible for download in the app store that revieals system files on rooted phones but I would rather pull them up on my computer. I am using windows vista home 32bit OS. Thanks for any help in advanced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmtx16:
Ok. For now, viewing your Android's true system files on your actual pc is impossible. However your can browse through them and make all the changes you need on your phone. First of all though. You need to be properly and fully rooted by using Toast's method part 1 and 2. This will properly root and unlock NAND protection on your phone to allow read/write access to /system. Unrevoked is **** for root as far as Im concerned. Although I would recommend using their S-off tool for further access. Search the XDA forums for toast's method for full root. But first, get comfortable with the mechanics of ADB. There are simple tutorials on XDA as well. After that make a small purchase and buy Root Explorer to browse everything you need! But be careful. Happy rooting XD

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
you can view any system file you want to view, on your computer. pull the file using adb, change it, push it back.

i'm not going to give a tutorial on adb though. there are plenty of threads about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
If you just want to explore the system files and poke around, I would suggest downloading the ROM you are using and just unzipping to look at the files. If you want to go deeper you can download an android kitchen and decompile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmtx16:
True. But consider the normal user, who in this case didn't even know how to properly root. I was suggesting the most problem free way for him.

Hey thanks for all the replys. I did not know evoked don't fully unlock the phone. I will look into toast tutorial. Was in kinda a hurry found the first thing on rooting and thought it worked because it allowed me to install roms. I have net seeing a lot on adb I think when I can find some time I will look into that as well.

What is the free required disk space on the Vibrant?:p

I look around and there were post about free space and and how to free up more, ect. But like on a PC, there are minimum requirements for Ram or paging files.

I use to keep a third of the HD for free space, but I want to know what is the guide for the stock Vibrant with the 16 Gigs? I have place files inside the 16 gigs and have not placed anything inside the 2 gig SD card that came with the phone, waiting for the Amazon delivery of a larger SD for later storage. :rolleyes:

[Vibrant General] Wearespacepeople:
I updated my phone manually through Mini Kies.

Before the update with or without OCLF applied, the phone would never freeze. Since I've applied the update the day before yesterday, the phone has locked up three times. Basically what happens is, the screen will, well, freeze, and my button presses do absolutely nothing, I hit the back button- phone vibrates, does nothing, same with home button. To power it off I either hold the power button for 5-10 seconds, I have not yet had to pull the battery. HOWEVER. This last time it froze, I powered down the device but the phone would not turn back on. I pulled the battery from the phone and inserted it back in and after doing so my phone powered back on with no problem. It's a bit concerning though. Probably the worst thing about all of this is the fact that my phone runs great! Fast and responsive, GPS seems to be spot on. Except about once a day since the update, it freezes.

Any ideas? I have no experience with modding/flashing anything so I get really nervous with things like installing custom roms. I was thinking I could roll back the update and then re-do the update. I doubt I'd get the update OTA though, I updated my girls device OTA and she has had no problems so far.

I was even considering flashing Bionix, but again, very nervous to do so. I even had trouble just creating a nandroid backup! I couldn't get into clockwork recovery to do so.

Can anyone just baby me with this? Tell me where to start?

Thanks :/
[Vibrant General] sumasage:
I would suggest you flash back to stock firmware using Odin.

Go into the Development section and look at the directory sticky. There is a link in there for a thread on how to go back to stock firmware.

Once you flashed back to stock, i suggest using it on stock for a day or two to make sure the phone work correctly. Once you verified the phone working then try to update to JI6 again via Kies mini.

Other than that you can start to mess around with flashing different custom firmware and mods. It hard to brick the phone since you can always go into download mode and odin back to stock.

Be adventurous! Good luck!
[Vibrant General] Wearespacepeople:
would you suggest that I go back to stock before trying to flash bionix?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
You should go to JFD then to JI6. Freezing isn't normal, I don't have any freezing. If it was randomly freezing there would have been a 10 page thread on it already.
[Vibrant General] tgerbracht:
I've also had it freeze twice on me. Went from rooted Stock to JI6 using Odin. /shrug
[Vibrant General] ChiBerg:
Same issue after applying JI6 OTA. I unrooted before applying the OTA, but have now reapplied OCLF with stock.
[Vibrant General] blanked:
Same issue. Frozen hard twice. Browser exits randomly. Battery drains about twice as fast as before JI6.

I went from fresh Stock to JI6 via Odin. I don't know if I can wait for Froyo. I may just go back to stock again, even with the broken GPS.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
I bet the OP has a bunch of apps installed.

A lot of people are blaming the update, but I'm almost sure there are many rogue apps in the marketplace, because last night I was getting freezes and after I uninstalled all the apps I don't actually need (or use very frequently) all of the freezing just stopped. The phone runs smoothly now. And removing those apps + removing the Task Manager widget from one of my screens increased my battery life by ~200%.
[Vibrant General] ChiBerg:
I installed BioNix 1.9.1 (with JI6) and I'm still getting occasional freezes, but I'm wondering if they are due to Angry Birds which I installed at the same time as my original JI6 OTA update. I'm seeing some reports (forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid/38906-freezes-weird-stuff-angry-birds.html) , but I have no idea if this is a valid idea.

Anyone else seeing freezes with JI6, but not angry birds?
[Vibrant General] ski309:
I've also been having freezing problems, and I think they're GPS related.

The last time was last Friday. I was driving down to Washington DC using my phone for turn-by-turn navigation, and it froze about 1/3 of the way there. I had to pull the battery out to restart. When I got to my destination, I was using Maps and then the browser, and while the GPS icon was on the notification bar, telling me it was trying to find my position, my phone froze again. Again, I had to pull the battery out. Both happened within around a 1.5-2 hour period. I realized it may be due to the GPS, so I turned off GPS right away. It's now Monday afternoon and my phone hasn't frozen since.

I have a T-Mobile Vibrant and my phone is not indicating that any OTA updates are available. I have unrooted my phone and removed the lagfix. is there a way to force the OTA to initiate?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
You will receive the OTA directly on your phone by the end of this month.

If you want it immediately, you can do it manually through Kies Mini, ODIN, or flash a JI6 built ROM.

Search on Kies Mini, Samsung released a tool to do the upgrade for you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Better yet try this. Make sure you have a backup before you do this.

**DUMMY PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!**

If you already have launcher pro:

1) goto your homescreen.

2) menu key, add.

3) hit shortcuts and then activities.

4) scroll down to device management

5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok

6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.

7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.

if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.

1) goto the market.

2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"

3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.

4) install that.

5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]

6) then, follow the steps above

As i mentioned I lost root access after the update today. I am still able to use launcher pro but i can't use titanium backup or set cpu. On a side note i did notice that my superuser permissions app is no longer in the menu (the one with the ninja). I tried to redo the root but it can never find the update.zip. I tried rooting it manually and with One click root with no success. Its been awhile since I loaded Launcher pro, but doesn't that require root access. Any thoughts?

Cracked my screen, I see I can buy a new screen easy enough and replace it. The problem is I don't know if anything else is broke, I ask because now my phone doesn't recieve calls, it just goes straight to voice mail. But it still seems to work when I plug it into my computer, It recognizes it and I can use the side loader to install apps on it.

Is there anyway I can make a call from my computer through it to see if it is still working, or is there a way to emulate the screen on my computer.

Or any other suggestions on how I could check other fuctions of the phone to see if I just need to replace the screen?

never mind, just figured it out, I just had to search other forums.
