[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -.monkichi.-:
Hey,

For some reason my Galaxy decides to intermittently vibrate today and it won't stop doing it. I've tried turning it off, taking the battery out, taking the sim out.. just for the hell of it... but it keeps vibrating every 10 - 15 seconds.

I read up on other phones doing it but didn't find any solutions to the Galaxy.

I'm running JPH and it has been good until now. I have the One click lag fix as well. Let me know if you guys have a solution cause my phone is like a damn vibrator right now.

Thanks,

My galaxy s is also vibrating every few seconds, having installed one click lag fix today. I have turned off my phone and on again, but it does not stop.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Makes sense to remove lagfix see if that cures the problem .

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to JPM version of froyo, and wanted to change back the product code to the original. After restoring from the .bak files, I got back the original product codes. However, while copying to another location for backup, I deleted the contents of the /efs folder by mistake (atleast I think I did).

The /efs folder is empty, but the phone still works fine. Haven't rebooted the phone for fear of bricking it. Is there a way to recover deleted files? Or are those files just hidden from view?

Someone please help :eek:

Update:

Managed to get of copy of nv_data.bin from a folder used by sgstoolbox. Rebooted the phone and phone works fine. Checked the folder contents, has nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5, .nv_state and a folder named .android. Is there anything else which should be there? How to restore?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpik:
Do you have a backup of your /efs folder?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meisterlampe2000:
Woah same happened to me just some Hours ago !

If you used SGS Toolbox to check, you are lucky because it automatically creates a backup.

-> I think SUFBS Explorer deleted the efs because i am sure i checked "copy" ... anyway !

If you have any backup file, you are lucky.

One question by the way:

I´ve also lost the "IMEI" Folder, but my IMEI is still correct. Is that because ne nv_bin is just enough for the system checks ?

EDIT: Go and check with SGS Toolbox, if it displays your code, it is still there + it creates a backup file on your sdcard (you should double-check that anyway)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
I'd say that the best and easiest way of restoring your product code is by using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787163

messing around with /efs folder is not a good idea, especially if you don't have a back up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fullerms:
Just remembered that I have a titanium batch backup of system + apps taken a while ago when I was on stock firmware. Any way to restore the /efs folder from that? The shock of losing the /efs folder was enough to jolt me out of a beer induced haze ;-)

The phone still works, which is good news. But anyway to restore from Titanium backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpik:
Titanium does not backup /efs.. If you don't have a backup, you're basically screwed! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fullerms:
Like I said, the phone works fine after I restored the nv_data.bin file. I listed the files which were rebuilt by the system. Is there anything else missing? Can someone post a screen shot of the contents of your efs folder?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalpik:
Oh, so you DID have a backup? Nice! Besides what you lited in the first post, there are the following things:

.imei (file)

imei (folder)

- .nvmac.info

- bt.txt

- mps_code.dat
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fullerms:
Any idea what those files are for? Possible to check what they contain?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meisterlampe2000:
Like i said, my imei folder was deleted aswell...

No problems so far with that !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcc22:
Use rootexplorer, dont use ASTRO. It's crap and does not show all files, including the whole /efs
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangus_U*RA:
My EFS folder is empty too...and I don't know why, I have only flashed a couple of time with odin and JM9....

But SGS Toolbox report my csc correctly as ITV....even if I used the HUI csc from my operator with odin....

Could it be a problem if the efs folder is empty? The phone is working well...the only problem is that it loses very often the wifi connection...but I don't think that it is csc related...

This was Done on JI5 & JI6 Builds, unsure if it will work on Older Builds as I've not Tried​

Flashable Update is Located here > Vanilla_Bar_and_Black_Clock_MOD.zip

Works on my Final Build & Should work on Boinox 1.8 / 1.9 as long as there Based on JI6

Contains Better Battery Mod as well..

Attached is the StatusBarIcon.smali File & the Services.jar file for those that don't know how to use smali...

ADB push the services.jar & reboot... Simple..

I included the smali file for those that wish to change the clock color to any color than black...

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Unless something else has been changed, it should simply be an edit to the arrays.xml file in /res/values once you decompile framework-res.apk

Look for the section "status_bar_icon_order" and the default order is:

<item>clock</item>
<item>alarm_clock</item>
<item>battery</item>
<item>phone_signal</item>
<item>phone_evdo_signal</item>
<item>data_connection</item>
<item>cdma_eri</item>
<item>tty</item>
<item>volume</item>
<item>mute</item>
<item>speakerphone</item>
<item>wifi</item>
<item>tty</item>
<item>bluetooth</item>
<item>gps</item>
<item>sync_active</item>
<item>sync_failing</item>
<item>ime</item>

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wildklymr:
So the original flash works for me when using frankin-twiz final. I decompiled the framework-res.apk using apk manager 4.8 modified the arrays.xml like you said, (funnily enough its just completely backwards) compiled it back up, signed it and moved it back to system/framework using root explorer. The order is corrected, but as soon as I unlock it it fc's all over the place. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Now another issue i have in my phone, i can't watch videos from Youtube HD on my phone , and i can try to load it, but always get an error... If someone can watch videos from youtube HD with the youtube app on the phone could tell me what he do?

PS: sorry my bad english ? xD

Hi.

Our phones aren't Java enabled which is why you're having issues with your browsers, and the YouTube app streams the content so not sure why that isn't working for you.

Even better than Rockplayer..!!

[Epic 4G General] huntm856:
Forgive me if this topic has been raised before -- I searched and didn't see anything.

I am seeing two issues with my Epic relating to e-mail I haven't seen raised.

1. Generic e-mail client doesn't sync reliably. It ran reliably for a day or two, but has stopped polling, and now the only way I can get the accounts in it to update is to go into the client and open them.

2. I cannot seem to get more than 2 gmail accounts added to the gmail client. I have three google accounts, and I had to set up my third one in the generic client after repeated attempts to add it to the gmail client resulted in server connection fails.

Anyone else seeing this? Is it possible I have a defective phone or something I did during the course of rooting (noobnl's one-click v 2.2.9) broke some functionality? Is it possible that the service responsible for the client's polling activity got broken?

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] splashmktg:
My email has been updating automatically fine. I've only had my Epic for a little over two weeks, though. I don't have multiple Gmail accounts so can't say. Also, I'm not rooted yet ( I've been waiting for the 2.2 upgrade). I'm not crazy about everything in the generic client but it does seem to work very well.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I thought I was having the same issue as OP, but I found that I guess I accidentally switched automatic updates off in the settings.
[Epic 4G General] Erica8123:
I have had my Epic since it launched and yes this has been an issue for me. I thought maybe I had something set wrong but I don't. I actually check my Yahoo acct through the browser now. It doesn't really bother me to much though so I deal with it. Facebook for Android is the same way usually too.
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
This is a common issue if you search around.

I've given up on the stock email app and just use K9 mail. Works perfectly. Has a few more options than the stock app too, although like a lot of open-source apps, maybe too many. I still haven't gotten all the fonts to look the way I want. But it's functional and doesn't give me any problems with syncing. An email app that won't tell me when I have new email is useless to me, and the stock app would only do that for maybe a day unless I rebooted. K9 always notifies me of email immediately.
[Epic 4G General] jojo08:
I'm having a problem of my own. I just tried to send an attachment in the stock email app but I get a FC when I hit attach. In the gmail app however it works, gives me the option of gallery or astro. Could the FC in the email app occuring because I uninstalled the myfiles app and it defaults to it?
[Epic 4G General] huntm856:
Exactly the same problem. Stock email client works for a while then just quits.

But anyway, thanks for the tip re K-9 mail. Just installed it and will give it a try. It is indeed considerably more complimicated and will probably take some fiddling to get everything the way I want it, but that's OK -- I guess if I wanted simple but uncofigurable functionality I'd have a feature phone or an iPhone. :-p

Seems like the FB app does the same thing. Anyone have a suggestion for a good 3d-party FB client?

Oh, and does anyone else have more than 2 accounts in gmail?
[Epic 4G General] Wellington Amaral:
reboot will fix it for a short period

same problem here... worked for two weeks and now only syncs if manually. Rebooting the phone gets it going again... for a few more days and then it will no longer sync again!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sztupy:
It's strange that we call the replacement of a filesystem "lagfix" :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
This obsession with Quadrant scores is stupid and very misleading. We already know that loop filesystems artificially inflate Quadrant scores even though the device isn't much faster (i.e. OCLF on top of Voodoo gives you 2500 Quadrant but performance isn't truly improved).

It can be useful for doing base comparisons, but it just ends up confusing everybody and perceverating about a number instead of actual performance in the real world and smoothness.

Personally I'm waiting for Voodoo b5.

I'm currently using Doc's Mod for JPM/JP6 and I got 1030 Quadrant with no lagfix. Not sure why the OP said it wouldn't run.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] awia:
with the same rom, if you run the quadrant test several times, the score varies...

all froyos are scoring about 900 - 1050 without LagFix and 1800 - 2000 with lagfix

Imo none of these benchmarks are able to really rate the overall perfomance of the different firmwares...

Reminds me a bit of DirectX-Benchmarks, same show but different artists ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Well it actually does give what it says and it's no quadrant error. It's just that probably no app other than a badly coded touch wiz launcher will ever need a faster memory.

Try noticing differences on your system with a 5600RPM HDD and a 7200HDD.

You won't feel any difference and only benchmarking software will be able to tell.

However if it's possible (because rfs is a crappy file system) why not replace it?

It's like going from FAT32 to NTFS, it's there, it's better so why not use it?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
I noticed something since i updated to JI6 while using Clockwork recovery. while on JFD i was able to do a backup using the following steps:

HOW TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP *ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH A NEW ROM

1 - Open Rom Manager

2 - Click on Flash Clockwork Recovery (you can skip this if you have already flashed the recovery before)

3 - Click on "Reboot Into Recovery"

4 - At the prompt, click "ok" to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery

5 - If this is your first time, you may be at the stock recovery on the Vibrant. Thats normal. Click on "reinstall packages" (ALSO: Volume up and down navigate, and power is used to select an item).

6 - Now, you are at ClockworkMod's Recovery. Scroll down (volume down), to "Nandroid" and select it (power button).

7 - Click on Backup. It will run it's course. After it finishes just reboot.

8 - You now have something you can always fall back on in case you F up. Thank Koush and all the testers.

Now when i tried to do a backup on JI6 i no longer see Nandriod option all i see is "backup and restore". is this normal? has anyone else noticed this? will impact the backup/restore process?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkackley:
That might not be a JI6 thing. Koush just updated rom manager. Thats most likely the reason.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
how do i get the update?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkackley:
open ROM Manager and tell me what version of clockwork recovery you have. Its up at the top.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
clockworkmod 2.5.1.2

when i select "check for rom updates" it says that i am not set for OTA and i need to contact dev.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkackley:
Your all good bro! Thats the same version Im running and I just checked, I dont have NANDROID anymore either. That was all part of the recent update I guess.

As for the second question, ROM updates is talking about the actual ROM the phone runs off of, You know like ECLAIR 2.1, or Eugenes or Sombionix's roms. Not the ROM manager APP. The APP will let you know when it needs to be updated, it checks what version you are running versus what the latest version availible is everytime you open it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
what about flashing to a old clockworkmod? or is there no need to? i just want to make sure that when i backup i will not have any issues if i need to restore..

one more Q. any particular way to name the backups? i know there is not that much room to be specific with the name.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
well answer my own question, i reflashed clockwork to 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.0 and the nandroid option still does not come up only "backup & restore"....

anyone on the best way to name your backups? not that much room to be specific.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkackley:
if you choose to back up from ROM manager you can name it whatever you want. Just go into Rom manager, tap backup current rom, when the little box pops up click it and change the name to whatever you want. It will automatically boot into clockwork mod and take care of the back up for you. let it finish, patience is critical whenever flashing anything or backing anything up. And your done. You will now have a complete backup you can use when the going gets tough. Are you running a stock vibrant?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
as my signature states lol!!!! :

T959UVJI6 (Updated 10/13/10)

ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2

OneClickLagFix

Titanium Backup

nothing much more done to it...... so far at least, i might want to try the following:

bionix 1.9.1 w/stock kernel

bionix 1.9.1 w/kingklick OC/UV kernel

bionix 1.9.1 w/Jacs OC/UV kernel

bionix 1.9.1 w/Jacs OC/UV/VOODOO kernel

not sure which one to try as i have the oneclicklagfix and dont want anything to get screwed up cause reflashing and getting the phone back to what i had it is a pain, lol!!!!!
