[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's Windows and its horrible way of controlling the USB ports

i always have problems with USB in Windows, with any USB device on any version of windows.

on Linux it's simply it either works, or it doesn't work, no grey areas

Windows have lots of grey areas, like USB works but is not detected properly, or detects properly but the speed is crippled because something else is also on the same bus, or is detected and working, but the port is very slow operating at USB 1.0 when it should be at USB 2.0 speed, etc, etc, etc

all kinds of random problems with USB in windows

that's why some people flash fine no problem one day, then next day try again and it fails
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigdyl69:
Well I had problems with KIES for a while, and just as I got that working and tried flashing my phone (was running JM1 tried JPM Froyo) and its not worked since, just sent it back to Phones4U today hoping they can re-flash it. I've been flashing phones for years now having previously owned 2 HTC WinMo phones and NEVER had a glitch like this.

I think there are a few serious issues with this phone that Samsung need to address or seriously risk alienating customers. I won't have another Samsung handset if this keeps happening to mine
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
Thats a pretty weird selection on that poll, lol.

Yes IMO the SGS is quite unstable at times, especially with early firmwares and stock - JF3 was absolutely appalling beyond belief IMO - nearly sold it in my first week!

With the later firmwares and with the voodoo fix, it is a LOT better, but still far from perfect, and the GPS never worked properly for me.

As for flashing being "dangerous", I couldn't disagree more. These phones are hard to brick. I bricked my N1 today but I still got it back, it just took an hour! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
SGS is pretty hard to brick, as long as you have the 3 buttons operational, you would have no problem recovering from a bad flash
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I think most of the problems with flashing through kies or odin is just that the new installation can't boot because of some conflict with previously installed software or setting. Since a factory reset seems to usually fix the problem. It just sucks that so many phones don't have 3br mode.

Why only 2 options? 3rd option should have been: No biggie as long as you have 3br-mode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
My bet is = get a good cable (yes, this Samsung one IS crap -> I prefer Nokia's),

get a good motherboard (not top of the line, why would you?, not budget either)

make sure ur system/USB port is stable (u might want to undo overclock for the process... still I got mine fsb OC'd from 1066 to 1642 and still no prob)

make sure you have good drivers, and no viruses! (important! and underestimated)

And yes, 3button download mode is A MUST.

Plug in/flash/sit back and relax...

Flashed mine like 30-50 times already, not a single problem (besides the missclicks ;p)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tupique:
My SGS and KIES work together happily. Never have any problem flashing via KIES. The 3-button combo (either download or recovery mode) is a must. Waiting for Froyo to be distributed in my country (Indonesia) now. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Never had issues with flashing with kies nor Odin3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
A lot of the people who "bricked" it though soon managed to unbrick it.. Many of us freaked out and posted one of those threads at SOME point of time.

Most of the real bricks seem to be:

1) People flashing wrong ROM's

2) The IMEI thing

It's less riskier these days anyway probably, because of the existence of the Riff Box.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Snuble:
I have a PROPlantronics headset that SGS recognize as a phone headset and only let me use for phone calls.

I also have a wavetooth headset receiver that is recognized as a headset and let mye use both Phone and Media.

What "traditional" bluetooth headsets, the one ear type, is recognized as a media headset? What "standard" should I look for, is it A2DP that is required for the phone to send media sound over bluetooth?

Reason I'm asking is because Skype isnt recognizing a "phone headset", it will only send sound to a "media headset".

My suggestion is take a look at the main android forum. There they have outlined how to do it. Most tricks we can do aslong as its not hardware based
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CaptainKILL:
I have followed one too many tutorials methinks in and effort to hack my post 911 fix HTC Magic and have successfully made a goldcard downloaded the Europe RUU installer, Android SDK, ADB says it works but the moment I try to use the RUU it gives me a 170 usb connection failure error asking me if I plugged the damn phone in or not and I can find no other thread with this problem or a tutorial that even mentions this as a problem so if there is a buried thread I can't find link me to it but if not please give me a clue as to why the RUU installer cannot find my phone. Thanks ahead for any info as it is all appreciated.
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
I'm in a bit of a pickle......

A while back I placed an order on mobiles.co.uk for the Desire HD (500mb, 600mins, unlimited txt @ £32.50pm / 24mth).

After not hearing back from mobiles.co.uk for a while and finally seeing the Desire HD pre-order on Vodafone Online Shop I placed an order (750mb, 900mins, unlimited txt @ £35pm / 24mth).

Now here's the dilemna, I got accepted for both but:

- I just recieved an email from mobiles.co.uk saying the device has been moved to warehouse and will be delivered next working day

- Vodafone have confirmed delivery will not be until 22nd October

.....so do I cancel the mobiles.co.uk order (within 7 days unopened) and wait another week or so, or do I just take the first delivery of the handset and cancel the vodafone?

(or is there anyway I can change the account / payment details to someone else and give the mobiles.co.uk handset to someone ?)
[Desire HD General] Nameless_87:
i think it all depends on how much minutes and mb you need on your mobile... it's just a weeks difference...

so will you be using the extra £2.50 per month?

If yes, than go with Voda, if no, you might as well get the phone earlier...
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
Well I most likely will be using a lot of the data usage, not so much call minutes. Plus it is £5pm for the extra 250mb internet add-on.

I'm possibly thinking I might go for the Vodafone option as I always have the option of just walking into the high street store for any problems, whereas mobiles.co.uk is all online and I don't know that mcuh about them yet.

Edit: I just realised that the mobiles.co.uk deal may have come with a free PS3, though I will have to confirm this (website is down at the minute) - this might sway the deal...lol

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steve76063:
After upgrading to the new ATT Tilt2 ROM, I've lost the ability to have new text messages read out loud. I've got the option set to Announce New Messages, and it'll still read new emails coming in, but not text messages...anyone know of any menu or registry setting that might restore the reading of text messages???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Start > Settings > Personal > Voice Command

Highlight Messaging, tap Options, and uncheck the box that says "High priority messages only."
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steve76063:
Yep, I've already done all that...I did it when I first got the new ROM loaded.

I've enabled/disabled/enabled it a number of times since then, and one time, a message did come in and get 'announced'. After that, silence again :(

That's why I'm looking for a registry setting somewhere--I'm sure something's gotten messed up.

hi ...

I recieved the update notice and decided to try out froyo but sadly I forgot to remove lagfix. what happened is that 3 button combo doesnt work and the phone says its out of memory and tries to shut down as many background apps as possible making popups about apps forcing to close and by that makes it impossible to do anything... I can still connect it with kies and I ask you here in a last attempt to fix the phone...

anyone got a idea? if you do please share

thanks in advance / Edin

Is there any way that they will fall for something like update made it lagg (and who should I turn to)... maybe they will be able to fix it ? :S
[Windows Mobile Software Development] go4voip:
Hi All,

Today is my first day to learn windows mobile development. I have good knowledge in VB.net.

I want to start just for test with some real project. my Mobile Provider have lot of short service number. ie *121# get balance, *124*222222222222# to recharge the account and many more....

i need to make a simple application where user can select which service he need for the example he select the Check balance my application will send *121# and bring the result for user.

I tried for simple code to send SMS and i succeed. But I don't know how to send *121# and get the result back to my application for the parsing etc....

I will appreciate friends for your guide and suggestion.

Thank You

you can use phone talk function phone.talk("number") for send network request. For reading answer i don't know. If you search in Microsoft Site you can found all the resources you need
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
Tried a quick test with this, works fine on normal phone numbers, but fails on service calls. This is C# but the object is the same.

using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony;

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Phone Phone = new Phone();
Phone.Talk("*#100#");
}

In the UK on Vodafone's network *#100# should return the device's telephone number, but fails with an invalid phone number message.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fabcal:
Ok i test with vodafone IT codes and search solution. Please wait...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] go4voip:
Hi,

I was trying with below code but giving error.

Cannot complete the call. The signal may be unvailable or the phone number may not be valid.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fabcal:
I investigate this. Solution possible: create a gsm (or gprs? I'm not sure) data connection and using network code like number of connection.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] go4voip:
I did not understand....

Could you please post a simple code.

Thank You

hey guys ..here you are the web browser fix(less lag and more more speed) for Froyo JP6

now internet is faster than before....

unzip this and copy ''libwebcore.so'' to system/lib...- set the permissions of the file to rw.....DONE!

EDIT: ONLY FOR ROOT PHONES

it is from a Galaxy Tab rom.

unfortunately the browser will still use more memory than it should, but at least it will be fast.

it doesn't work with JPA!

It didn't work for me on JPA either but I noticed my original libwebcore.so had the permissions set as "-rwxrwxr-x" ...
