Upgrade ROM code error

please try again.

This is currently what my bootloader loads up. This all happended when i tried to flash back to stock. Im pretty sure I messed up somewere.

Whenever I try to load a custom rom (I was using an energy rom prior), it will get up to 81% the highest ive gotten it, then gives me an error.

When I try to flash another stock rom I found here, the 2.10 ship rom, i cant get it passed 23%.

anyone know what I have to do to fix this brick?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
are you trying with 2.10.0 which comes as an .exe file, or 2.10.1 which doesn't? Because the 2.10.1 rom found in the tmous section stock roms thread is treated by the phone as a cooked rom, (requires hspl) and doesn't include the stock spl. Make sure to use the 2.10.0

Also, can you connect to the phone with hspl3? if so, can you reset the hspl to 2.08.0000? (thats good enough for warranty, and it may also fix the flashing problem.)

To elaborate, I'm looking for a media/video player for my SGS that allows Fastforwarding (FF) or Rewinding (RW) by a swiping across gesture on the video/screen.

For example, my old symbian phone's stock Video player allowed me to set the amount of time

that a Fastforward/Rewind gesture will pass in options.

If I set it at 10 seconds, all I had to do during the video was to touch the screen and swipe across

towards the right with my finger (like I would while browsing the gallery, contacts or websites on the phone)

to fastforward the video by 10 seconds; swiping to the left would rewind the video by 10 seconds.

Anyone know of such a media/video player?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Spitfire128:
Try mVideoPlayer.

It uses the Galaxy S's own video playback so you're not losing any format support (you're gaining proper subtitle support though).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AER0:
Thanks for the suggestion.

Tried various video players including mVideoPlayer and found Act 1 Video player to have the closest

functions to what I'm looking for.

Threw h.264, xvid, divx, vc-1, etc. (in mkv, avi and wmv containers) at it and all of them played well enough.

[Android Themes] All~G1:
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to take on a concepts for folder/general icons. I find myself still going fairly minimalistic & usually don't run more then 3 screens since I use folders more then anything. unfortunately its pretty hard to find good icons for folders.

Concept: glass style or a raised transparent .png. usually you see this image layered on top of icons. I was hoping there was a way just to get something to the effect of having the appearance of a "on screen button". Since I am the only one that actually uses my phone I would already know what folder is what without the labels or a dedicated "icon".

The icons can be rounded, boxed, glassy, transparent, semi-transparent, doesn't matter. If anyone would like to take on such a task I'd be very appreciative.

TIA.

Had this vibrant for a couple of weeks then all of a sudden i couldn't make calls... it says not registered on network. i've tried the following :

toggling air plane mode, removing the battery and sim card, went to tmo to change the sim card and still nothing.i did odin back to stock, and reflashed to bionix 1.9. odin back to stock and apply update, still nothing. has anyone ran into this problem? i put my sim card into my blackberry and everything works fine i can make calls receive text.

Go to settings wireless and network and try to do a manual search for a network.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejamin73:
Same here when have no signal
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmeeeekkss:
Yeah I tried that but it says my sim card doesn't allow it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Can you try to use the search now option? I just tried it on my phone and it works fine. Also, check to make sure Network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA (AUTO MODE)

Additionally, go to settings manage applications. select menu button >> Filter >> Show all >> Call settings and select clear data.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmeeeekkss:
when i tried it right now it'll find tmo and att, but when i click tmo it says unable to connect and then it says your sim does not allow connection to this network. and i also cleared the data.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Do you have access to a tmobile post paid sim, if so give it a try. I am not sure why it will not let u connect to the network, unless tmobile had you blocked somehow.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmeeeekkss:
nah i dont have access to another sim, but when i do put my sim into my blackberry everything works fine. so i dont think tmo blocked me. i also got my phone from craigslist is there anyway the person i bought it from messed it up? but i mean it was working fine when i first bought it.

when i check my phone status my phone number and everything shows up, but im just not connected to the network.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImTheDuke:
Had the same problem and this worked for me. Well, not exactly. Did the Setteings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks> Network Operators and pushed the "Select automatically" option instead. Post put me on the right track though. Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmeeeekkss:
Yeah I tried that too. "/ I'm sending it to samsung cause they had me go through all these restarts and it still didn't help..thanks for the help though everybody
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MZRED23:
hi have samsung fix your phone i sent mines in 2 samsung 3 times already about the same issue not registered on network n sim card not allow on this network..they said t mobile might blocked it but t mobile said its fine my sim work in another phone any ideas??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
I had this same issue. It was finally fixed with a new sim card. TMobile stated that there is a new sim card that fixes issues due to their new 3g+(4g) network. The sim would work fine on my older BB but wouldnt work on my Vibrant. They replaced the sim for free at the T-Mobile store and I have been fine since. I hope thats your same issue.

Does anyone else have issues with the audio skipping when using any of the media players? I've gone through cubed, mortplayer, stock "music", live music (front end to archive.org's live music library) and amplayer. The music will pause or skip every once in a while. The skipping doesn't appear to be periodic.

It's extremely frustrating. This thing's processor is 3x faster than my first pc...and that's just going by MHz. In fact, the Hero I retired and gave to my son doesn't skip :-(

I've uninstalled the other apps and tried each of them with the others uninstalled (except for stock, of course). Am I using the wrong media player? Any idea what could be causing this?
[Epic 4G General] weav4444:
I've been having the same issue with the stock music player
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
If you find one that doesn't skip or find out what's causing it...Please report back!
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I've had problems with media files failing to play after a while - I reseated the SD card and the problem disappeared. The cards can shake loose after a while, so try re-seating your SD card.
[Epic 4G General] arrows83:
i get the same issue with any file on my card as well as streaming (pandora). Pulling the memory card didn't help.:(

any other ideas? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
How often does it skip? What are your GMail sync settings? Do you run any task killers? Did the phone do this completely stock with no other apps installed? I'm betting you have something running in the background that is getting in the way, or eating up resources. Are you killing the DRM service after you reboot? If you can give us a better idea of your software environment and setup, it could help in finding the problem. I have pretty flawless music playback, both for MP3 and streaming audio.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
It skips pretty frequently, maybe at least once every 20 seconds? Usually more often (or maybe it just seems that way.) Background data is set to sync whenever it wants to. I'm not sure how to tell what the specific gmail settings are. I have atk installed but never use it anymore, it doesn't autostart. I can't recall if it happened when it was brand new before I loaded it up with apps. I do kill the drm service, as well as qik and tango.

Is there a way to easily uninstall all my apps and then reinstall them? I'm hesitant to do a wipe...will everything come back?
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
After killing the drm, qik and tango, my remaining running services are (by process name):

android.iqd

com.samsung.internal

com.google.process.gapps

com.swype.android.inputmethod

com.sec.android.app.sns

com.coremobility.app.vnotes

net.bajawa.battery

com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget

dk.skipp.ClockWidget1

There are a few services that seem to jump in and out of the services queue such as the facebook service and the snsphotoservice

Altogether though, I never thought it was all that much.

EDIT: I have also reseated the sdcard...forgot to test...am testing now...

EDIT EDIT: No luck. Reseating the sdcard didn't help.
[Epic 4G General] apogee82:
I have noticed a huge improvement with the skipping problem by clearing the Sprint streaming proxy bull**** in ##data#. You'll need your MSL. There is a Pandora fix thread that refrences the right settings... the address gets changed to 0.0.0.0 and the port 0.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
Is that the rtsp proxy under multimedia? I set it to 0's like you said. It doesn't have any effect on local music (of course) but maybe it'll help for live music and last.fm.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
This may or may not be related. I had regular skipping when playing via bluetooth. I found that turning off wifi fixed it. Apparently the periodic scan for a wifi network was killing the audio stream.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
Ok, I've got something to go on now. I've installed aLogcat, started playing music and watching the logs. Every time the music skipped I saw this:

Immediately after this entry was another:

One more entry seems to be part of the "skip group":
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
OMG I thought I was crazy or just had a defective phone. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, I experience the same problem... and I want that log program. It happens regardless of whether I'm playing streaming (Pandora or otherwise) over either WIFI, 3g, OR 4g, and I have all of the proxy settings 0'd out.

If I had known that log program exists I would have long since posted it, but yes. You are not alone.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
Here's the link to that app:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/alogcat-logcat-application/org.jtb.alogcat

Does anyone know if the devs read this? Is it something that could be fixed programmatically? Maybe it indicates a bad sdcard (essentially the realplayer: "buffering..." message)?
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Ever since I upgraded to DI18, my skipping problems went away. Verify that your SD card hasn't gone bad or something.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I suppose adding that my device experiences absolutely *no* skipping whatsoever (never has), won't help anyone here, so I won't mention it... er, oops. :)

Things to consider: Try copying everything on your SD card to a temporary folder, and then do a *long* format of the SD card on your desktop PC. Then copy everything back. See if you're running into an issue there. Based on your buffer underrun error, as well as the problem writing out to your sound device, it seems that for whatever reason, the phone is having trouble reading your source. Perhaps the SD format can fix this, if only to relocate the data to a slightly different part of the card.

When you're playing music, can you use a CPU monitoring application (perhaps the process manager in ASTRO) to see if your CPU usage is spiking right before the skip? You could then forseeably see which service is spiking and causing the underrun. This seems like a data access problem to me, either from bad media or from a CPU congestion issue...
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
It ain't the SD card, that's for certain...

I popped out my SD card and started playing Pandora, WiFi off, GPS off, Bluetooth off, and both with or without a charger.

Lo and behold:

E/ALSALib ( 2186): external/alsa-lib/src/pcm/pcm.c:7231:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occured

W/AudioFlinger( 2186): write blocked for 284 msecs, 21 delayed writes, thread 0x279b0

This is also interesting... I had the "audible selection" checkbox checked in my "sound and display" settings... switching back and forth from Logcat to settings to music etc. caused a tone several times... even without music playing, those errors popped up a few times, just because of the audible tones.

My conclusion: The Samsung Epic 4G does not like playing any sounds of any kind. :eek:
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
That also lets "skyfire " play flash video.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I'll install aLogCat and see if I find any such errors on my device later today... I have audible selection disabled.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
I pulled everything off my sdcard, formatted it and loaded everything back up. It still skips.

On the other hand I got pretty good throughput copying from my card so I'm thinking a failing filesystem probably was not the problem.

I watched with the astro process viewer but couldn't discern if there was a spike when the skip occurred.

Maybe it's another app waking up and hogging all the resources to itself, causing a buffer underrun that way.

Appbrain will be able to reinstall all my apps as long as I don't sync after I've removed them, right?
[Epic 4G General] MstaCDLite:
I'm not sure if this is related, but I removed mediahub and Drm from the phone, and now I having issues with music playback. When a song ends, or if I try to go from one song to the next, the music service Force closes and I am not able to play another music file until after I take the battery out. This happens in every music app... stock, 3, etc.

Any ideas? Is there a way to put drm and mediahub back on? I used TitaniumBackup to remove them, but I can't find the backup of it to put it back on myself.

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G General] FailDeadly:
With the stock music player, my audio will cut out if I get an email or text (I can't confirm if any other notifications will trigger it). I had this problem with the original SD card the phone came with, as well as the 32GB card I have in there now (class 2, SanDisk). I'm curious as to whether it's a read issue or a CPU issue.
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
No noticable CPU spikes - also, can we please stay on topic?

I was doing some Googling and found out that this issue actually happens not just on our Android devices, but on actual Linux machines. It said something about the "handshake" between the hardware and software getting corrupt. I didn't notice anything in the CPU spiking when the skips occurred, just the constant battery polling (on the stock music player). It doesn't mean something isn't, just not something I can see.

During a 2.5 minute song I got maybe 10-15 battery polls (happens whether plugged in or not), and 2 of the skip-errors that the OP and I both shared.

But...

I did use Astro to kill just about every single running process, and when I did that, no skipping. Clearly something is spiking something somewhere.

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note (ha),

I can appreciate that while other people are having different issues "while playing music," this post was about one specific thing... Music randomly "skips" while we're playing it.

Not "music cuts off when I get a text" or "I deleted something and screwed up my music players." I'm still technically a "new" member and even I know how not to hijack a thread.

[Epic 4G General] ansong:
Giving up

I've tried a couple more things:

I've had my wife play music from her epic. No skips.

I've given her a song that I have on my phone and had her play it on hers. No skips.

I took a song that she was able to play fine from her library and played it on mine. Skips.

I booted windows and slow formatted my sdcard, reloaded 1 song. Skips.

I also killed nearly every process running and tried again. Still skips.

I finally gave up and called tech support. Their first response was to find out when I had purchased the phone. Since I'm within the first 30 days they said to just return it. I presume Best Buy is really good about returns because the Sprint rep said I wouldn't have a problem when I asked her how to go about proving that the problem is with the hardware (please be true.)

So that's what I'm going to do. I plan on taking the sdcard out of my old phone and transferring it to the new one so that I'll have music to test it out with while I'm in the store.

Thanks for all the support guys. I'm convinced it's the hardware. If anyone else has the option, I'd suggest returning your phone for a new one. Otherwise, maybe pushing the problem all the way up through Sprint's tech support tiers might be able to get you a new phone.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Did you try a device wipe? I mean, at this point, might as well swap devices, but I'm wondering if it's still not something software-related. Good luck with the Exchange (BB is really good with these, fortunately), hope your new one is skip-free. The last think I could think of is that for some reason, CPU scaling isn't working properly. Either because of a software environment problem, or other.
[Epic 4G General] pissinguoff247:
Out of curiosity...

What launcher are you using?

Do you have any widgets that do polling/syncing?

How often does your email/gmail sync?

I'm way outside of 30 days but in going to try disabling stuff and rescheduling stuff to see if I can change anything.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
Ok. Here's where I admit to being an idiot.

My _clock_ widget appears to have been causing the skip. I had never turned it off because it doesn't do anything right?

I have been running it for weeks. I found a link to it in this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/android/comments/dr3nf/double_minimal_pic Ironically, the link was to an xda thread.

The dev is skipp.dk and the widget was called just "clockwidget". I've uninstalled it and found a clock that doesn't give my phone the hiccups.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Hey, on the flipside, your phone experience just became awesome again. :)
[Epic 4G General] los1223:
My friend had this issue on his Captivate and said it was due to having SetCPU set too low when the screen was off. I think he had to set the minimum frequency to 200 or 400 to get rid of the skips. Ever since he did this he said no more skips. I don't have this issue so I can't say for myself. But maybe this will help someone.
[Epic 4G General] ansong:
With symptoms like this I imagine there could be several causes.
