All day Ive been addressing the market issue across several threads, and the panic just keeps getting more widespread (i guess my posts dont show up in search :eek:), so instead of just answering each post individually like an idiot, i figured id just thread it up.

The market issues everyone is experiencing today has nothing to do with your phones. I know a lot of people (myself included) downloaded the Manhattan kernel today, but i assure you it has nothing to do with your kernel or ROM.

Google released a new version of Maps today, and their servers have been overloaded due to mass downloading. The problem is 110% on Googles end. EVERYONE is experiencing it across all network providers and all phones. Hopefully this explanation will help clear up our forum. Happy modding!!

I have a Galaxy S and recently bougth a SIMORE dual SIM CARD Adapter.

It works fine but I have suggestion for someone to develop a Android App to give a better support to such devices based on SIM card ID.

1) Identify which card is running (I know there is MultiSIM but it's not working on Galaxy (at least with this Simore adpater).

2) Based on SIM Card ID change APN Settings. There is an app called APN Switcher but it only force closes on my Galaxy.

3) Maybe have an option to create a short cut to switch between SIM Cards. (that might be a little more trick since one has to know the codes from the adapter right?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ehe12:
Have had this phone a coupla months, happy with it except the stupid GPS problem and some other connection problem.

When using wifi connection at home, if i stop browsing and close the screen for a few minutes and go back to surf internet, the wifi will stop working, turning wifi off and on again will make it work. Not too difficult but sometimes this feels sucks.

second problem is, occationally i will lose the "3G" or "H" sign on the top and cannot connect to internet using 3G data connection. i have no idea why this is happening. sometimes when i am out on street, try to check some information online, 3g is my only option and it really bothers me when it stops working. i'm using orange. all setting are as original.

Anyone knows how to solve these 2 problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the phone either works on

850/1900/2100

or

900/1900/2100

so depending on the model that you purchased

and where you live

also the cell phone provider that you are using

you might not get the full band usage of your phone

for example using the above models on a phone service that only uses

1700/1900/2100

then you are cripled

some telcos only use 1 band or 2 bands at most

1700 or 2100 for example
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anarchyuk:
3g nodes and 2g bts wont give you the same area coverage, yes you will lose the H and drop down to 3g if your -db rating (signal is low) is at the highest limit for the cell and it deems you either need handing off to another site or you were one of the last ones to be allocated a slot and get kicked.

its how the cookie crumbles, no where will give you 100% coverage and if u are close to a small site thats overloaded with traffic you will always get crappy uplink and downlink...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] contalyst:
I dont know where you are or what provider you use, but I have the same problem with my I900M on bell. it is apparently a widely known issue with Bell, and they associated my phone with the ongoing ticket incase it gets resolved they'll contact me.

Also, when I lose the 3g, ts a good chance my phone is going to lock up and need a battery pull to boot back up.

So Basically if I leave the house or wifi spot, I try not to show people my internet on my phone so it doesnt look like I'm carrying a brick in my pocket everywhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ehe12:
so that's something to do with the carrier? Thanks for the explanation!
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Hey all, I'm getting some weird freezes starting today. I'm running Fusion 1.1 w/ JACs @1.2Ghz and Voodoo.

I haven't done anything different to my phone in the past 24 hours, but any music player freezes if I try to forward to another song or when the current song finishes. I've tried it on MixZing, Winamp, and Doubletwist. (Slacker and Pandora work though). I've tried rebooting, pulling the battery, reseating the SD card, etc.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I asked the same question yesterday n no one answered
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Oh and I was on bionix 1.9.1 so I thought it was the rom. Flashed to fusion 1.1 jac w voodoo n it works. Not sure why though
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I had the same issue. Used different roms with no improvement.

It turns out that it's a bug with the OC/UV kernel.

justanothercrowd stated that it's probably an issue with the undervolting. Go back to the stock kernel and it'll be stable again.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Grrr... it's weird because I've been fine on an OC/UV kernel for weeks now. And all of a sudden I have problems. :mad:
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Well, strangely enough, PowerAmp works. I wish it had better sorting, but it'll do for now. (seriously don't want to give up the overclock, even though music a huge reason for owning this phone)
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Yep, same thing for me. I was on JACs kernels for a while, and then suddenly my phone locked up every time i played music and the screen went dark. There's a bit of discussion in JACs kernel thread on the subject, but not much. Apparently on the OC/UV kernels, when the phone goes to sleep and the processor clocks down, it causes some fault with the music trying to play in the background which locks up the phone.

glad to hear you've found a workaround though!
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
What version of Jacs are you or were you running? I had random freezes with his 1.1 kernel, flashed the 1.0 kernel and have not had a single problem.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
i think my own problems may have started when i began using 1.1. I haven't gone back to 1.0 yet to see if it works as normal
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
1.0 is the answer. I know Bionix roms come with 1.1, i usually dl stock rom version and flash Jacs 1.0 over it. All the UV, none of the FC.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
It was 1.0, and I don't think it was the kernel. Last night I flashed a bunch of different kernels and still had the same problem. Finally reflashed the full Bionix Fusion 1.1 and then JAC's 1.0 Voodoo kernel on top. Fixed!

I definitely had some kind of corruption, because all kinds of things were off, like Quadrant would hang, Youtube wouldn't work, and most music apps froze. Reflashing solved everything.
[Vibrant General] crazy25000:
Those who installed setcpu, have y'all set it to auto detect device and set minimum to 200?
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
yeah i had done that too. no dice.
[Vibrant General] dn7309:
I got the same problem with my vibrant, anyone can help me out?

AS far I my phone is concern, it running stock froyo, no flashing no rooting.
[Vibrant General] discursively:
same thing here. Running stock Froyo on my vibrant. any ideas?

PowerAmp seems to be the only player that doesn't freeze when switching tracks...
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
I agree, not only does it freeze but it restarts but it gets stuck on the boot logo. It gets really annoying
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
Just an idea, but it could be the sd card got corrupt. Have you tried backing up your sd card, formatting it, then moving your music back?
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Try oding back to stock that will fix it. By any change you download torrents on your phone?
[Vibrant General] discursively:
my music is stored on my phone's internal storage. I did apply the voodoo lagfix and then remove it (because of battery drain). but voodoo doesn't do anything to the storage partition which is fat32. i'll check the partition for errors.
[Vibrant General] discursively:
i am on stock froyo from samsung. i don't download torrents on my phone ... why do you ask?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotalCrisis:
Um, hi.

Last night I purchased a new Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell. Of course the first thing I did was jump over here to XDA to do some required reading. I proceeded to unlock, root, and flash froyo. All was working fine, until I found an App on the ROM to do a factory reset. There was still a lot of bloatware on the phone so I figured that would be a good idea. After that, I've begun experiencing low signal issues in certain places. The phone can still connect to the Rogers Network, and I have the correct APN settings (I get 3G), but in many areas my phone loses signal. Before the data wipe I could make calls just fine out of my basement but now I don't get signal down there. Is there any way to fix it? I know this sounds pretty vague, however if you need any more information I'll be happy to provide it.

Cheers!

(By the way, I love this phone!)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SN4K3B1T3:
A lot of people have complained about losing the 850mhz frequency when upgrading to froyo on the bell sgs, so if you can't get 3g then you just lose reception all together, there is a fix for it, I believe its in the android development section, search in there, I saw it in there yesterday, search 850mhz lost signal and it will come up for sure, there's a fix for it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotalCrisis:
Ah Alright. I've been reading around these forums a bit and I came across a few of those threads. I wasn't sure if that was my problem though, I'm still pretty new to the phone. Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SN4K3B1T3:
No problem, glad to help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotalCrisis:
From what I am reading, it doesn't look like there's a froyo fix :/

Does that mean I should downgrade back to eclair, at least until Bell releases official froyo? If that's true it's unfortunate :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
did you read the 850 sticky topic?

just go into the service menu

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpav80:
Hey guys,

I recently sent my N1 in for a screen replacement due to a couple of dead pixels and finally got my phone back repaired. Before I sent it in I had installed the 2.2.1 update. After getting my phone back, I noticed that it is back on 2.2. I expected my phone to grab the update OTA but it doesn't appear to be doing that. I know I can do the manual update, but I noticed that the google link to the manual update also isn't available. Is there a reason for this and is the OTA still available? I did try the "checkin", but that didn't seem to do anything.

Thanks,

Jay

This isn't my post but I have very same problem and thought i'd bring it to this thread see if anyone happens to have same issue or has solution?
[HD2 General] fuuunkdat:
What builds have you tried? What memory card are you using (class and size)?Did you format your memory card to FAT32? You could also try deleting app data folder on your storage card, as each time you use a build a bit of it may be left in this folder( it does no harm and will re-create itself straight after). Have you tried any android boot loaders e.g MSKIP android loader v5. No-one else had replied so thought id try and share what little knowledge i have. If you have been asked all this 20 times over, Sorry! :):D:cool:

[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
maybe because OS's weren't designed to run on a SD card??? Sell your hd2 and get a galaxy s phone.
[HD2 General] lukesan:
I feel your pain. Very very frustrating and you feel you have tried everything. Time consuming too.

What bothers me a bit with those builds is that they load up the HTC logo so actually don't see what is happening during bootup. I wonder if you couldn't bypass that?
[HD2 General] supermaster:
that wud have been big help if i could see what is actually happening but the Big HTC Logo screen is hiding everything and i am just sick of it.

Well if i could only burn the ROM into HD2 that would have been much better so wouldn't have to worry about anything i have to format my storage card every time or either delete everything on the sd card to make it work duno which file is it causing this error but i hope some one will come up with solution...

CHeers
[HD2 General] supermaster:
still the same tried everything...
[HD2 General] itamar:
Hi there,

You do understand that the HD2 was not made nor meant to run Android and that all the Android ROM's are third party ones and unofficial ?

You did not say whether or not you tried to install on the internal memory and not the card ?

Bye,

Itamar
[HD2 General] rr5678:
did you try starting it, deleting the data.img and starting it again?

Oh the contradiction. You say that, yet you use it too

"Android Playground: HyperDroid 1.6"

You gonna sell your HD2? (now for the crickets :p)
[HD2 General] karendar:
This might seem stupid, but have you tried deleting the Android folder from your SD card? Or modify this line in startup.txt:

set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

to

set cmdline "rel_path=/"

The problem might be that because of rel_path, it's looking for your android ROM in the "Android" folder. And some applications create that folder (Google goggle for example) to save information. I had an issue quite similar to yours. Now editing startup.txt is the first thing I do in a build. I currently have 5 different builds, one for every day of the week! haha.

Hope this helps!
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
not at all. I actually rarely boot into android and when I do, I keep my android builds on a seperate sd card. But I'm also not on here starting threads complaining that android won't boot properly on my winmo phone.

That's why its my playground. I am not trying to make android my daily driver.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
there's only 5 days in a week??? :confused:
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Well that's true. Android isn't really that stable enough to run often - especially when I see that it sucks down 500mA of power. That leads to 2 hours of battery.

(speaking of separate SD cards, I still have to send my faulty 16GB back to HTC :p)

Using a new ROM will wipe out Kaos (unless you back it up first). It is like removing Windows from your computer & putting Linux on. So, you don't have to find a ROM that plays nice w/Kaos - Just find a ROM. Look in the Eris Andoid Developer section of XDA to find ROMS.

[Wildfire Accessories] joningi:
I took part in a weekly draw for winning an iPad through ZAGG.com few weeks ago and got a 50% discount code for it (nice).

I had bought a cheap black silicon case and a plastic shield for the screen for about 2$ on ebay first when I got my wildfire, but I decided to use the discount code and bought me a FULL body protection invisible shield from ZAGG.

I got it via mail few days ago (took 8 days getting it to Denmark) and I began to install it on my phone.

Before I began I had surfed throughout the net trying to find a good guide on how to install it correctly, because I'd heard of people breaking their phone from doing it totally wrong, or even destroying their new shield.

But I ended up using one of ZAGG's own video guides on their webpage.

It took me about 2 hours!! To get it onto my phone, it was a little hard to get all these small parts to sit together, with water solution all over my fingers... but It worked. After that I used an method I saw one guy use on his iPhone, by wrapping the phone corners into kitchen plastic (don't know what its called, you know that sticky plastic) because they need to be well pressed down to look good.

The phone has to dry for about 12-15 hours before you use it.

Well now my phone looks amazing with this full maximum body coverage, with no extra case around it that makes the phone look big or ugly and did i mention, military SCRATCH proof... think it should handle minor drops as well.

I totally recommend this product from ZAGG, check it out!

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-wildfire-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Cheers!
[Wildfire Accessories] Alex_GP:
I have installed an Invisible shield also. Looks very nice. It took me 30 minutes to apply it, but I had previous experiences with their products. Yes, I too had problems with the small pieces. For future reference search for the "palming" techniques on the zagg`s tutorial pages. I used them for my instalation and it all looks and sits good (and you don`t need kitchen plastic for it, but kudos for the ingenuity!).
