[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sander12345:
Guys,

I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s i9000 it won't turn on.. When it is turned off and i press the power button a short animation of a battery comes up (2sec) and then it turns off again..

When the phone is connected to the adapter or usb it boots fine and works ok also when the cable is disconnected. Problems starts over again when the phone is turned off.

Im running froyo atm flashed official with kies..flashed it.. Clean install.. Before flashing the phone had the same problem. Problem started with the notification usb connected when the cable was not connected. That notification is gone.. But problem with booting remains..

Someone have a solution or just send it in for rma...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searge:
same problem here

I'm also having the same problem. Maybe something is wrong with the sgs usb driver. I think the charging symbol should only shown up, when usb is connected. Sometimes my sgs shows usb connected, but the cable has been removed far ago....

Any ideas how to fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdl1969:
I've found on JPO that when I exit Internet normally the app doesn't close, I have to go into the app manager to end it. Has anyone else found this / got any idea how to fix it please (other than a factory reset!!)? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azertys:
I am on jm1 and the internet app is behaving the same way. I don't think it's a jpa problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghazi.urfali:
Same here, i guess it's normal since its part of google core apps, i would leave it alone seeing as it doesn't cause any additional battery drain and android will automatically end it when it needs the RAM.

Google know what they're doing :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TGR2:
JPO (Froyo) allows multi-tasking I guess it's so you can look at something else and return?

If you press the Home button in call it leaves you connected and you can check your calendar?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverstorm:
This is standard behaviour.

Otherwise how would you multi task? If you just leave it the OS will eventually close it if needed. This is also true of the gallery, music player and video player.
[Wildfire General] verbuyst:
I rooted my phone with Unrevoked 3.21 and successful, but when I try to adjust a file in my phone (eg hosts and bootanimation) I don't seem to have any success.

In adb I can push it to the phone, but when I reboot my phone I get nothing. I tried to push the bootanimation to various maps that I found that have the bootanimation, but when I reboot I don't get the new animation to load.

When I try to replace the files in root explorer I always get a "not enough space" error and my phone reboots.

I don't know what I did wrong because I got the SU working but I can't get any file from the sd card or my pc on my phone successful.

This was the reason I rooted my phone because I want to edit my hosts file for no ads and a new bootanimation.

I added my bootanimation and the hosts file if anybody can check if maybe that’s the problem. (just remove the zip from the hosts file and open with notepad, I couldn't get it uploaded else)
[Wildfire General] madwifi:
Reboot recovery, then go partitions/mount system and ./adb push.

Edit : Just noticed.. you need a path.

There you go :

./adb push hosts /system/etc/hosts
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Assuming you have those 2 files in your adb path of course..
[Wildfire General] verbuyst:
I uploaded a screen from my cmd window, because I went in recovery and did the adb thing and I can see that my pc did something. But when I rebooted my phone I still get the same old white HTC bootanimation.

Edit: I got it to work with this, thanks for the help madwifi

power off

plug in usb cable

hold volume down+power

volume down once to select recovery and then hit power

now you should be at the clockworkmod recovery menu

select "partitions menu"

select "mount /system"

on my computer, click start, run, and then type "cmd" and hit enter to get a dos prompt

(For noobs like me I found this site: http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/howto-root-the-htc-droid-incredible/#bloat) where I found some extra information

Is there a way to change the Splash screen like with this flasher? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638 on the Wildfire? because it has a lower resolution.

Been looking around for micro sd cards in anticipation of the release of the Venue Pro, and found this puppy on MyMemory which seems to be the only class 4 card around for 32GB at the moment (Kingston do one but not found it for sale in the UK).

http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC/MyMemory/MyMemory-32GB-Micro-SD-(SDHC)-Card---Class-4

Anyone any experience of MyMemory, either good or bad? Not sure whether to go for this one, or opt for the Sandisk class 2 card?
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
I bought a Sandisk class 2 from Amazon and when it arrived it was actually a class 4!
[Venue Pro General] rob_p:
Ah, cool, good to know cheers :)
[Venue Pro General] ANonymous627:
I had this happen as well, which seemed really cool at the time. Now I just hope that there is a way to use it with the Venue Pro, otherwise I just got a card that was almost $90 for nothing...

Guess if it comes to that I could sell it with my Nexus One, the dock and a Jawbone icon, hmm...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epinion:
I'm trying to share what I found so far, please share yours.

1. Create a shortcut to "hidden apps" (3D Gallery, Music app) on your Xperia X10.

a. Install ADW Launcher (the one I use)

b. Create a custom shortcut and click Pick your Activity button

c. Choose ADW Activity. It will show what activities available inside your phone.

d. Choose Gallery to make a 3D gallery or Music to make Music app shortcut.

2. Create a multi home launcher.

a. Install ADW Launcher (the one I use)

b. Make it default launcher

c. Create a custom shortcut and click Pick your Activity button

c. Choose ADW Activity. It will show what activities available inside your phone.

d. Choose your other launcher from here (Home, Launcher Pro,etc).

e. There you got multi launcher.

[HD7 General] mattalter:
The volume rocker is very loose on the HD7. Looking to see if anyone else has this issue? In addition the camera button is extremely hard to push. Do other HD7 owners see the same?

Thanks

Matt
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
I think this is generally how most of this first batch of phones has been, whether thats just rush manufacturing, or by design, I don't know. I have read the issue in a number of reviews.

That being said, my volume rocker moves very easily, and my camera button can sometimes be hard to press (sometimes, it's very easy). Though I haven't found it hard enough to bother me. I'm guessing it has been made hard to press so that you cannot accidentally activate the camera and take photos of the inside of your pockets, as I heard some other phones do that.
[HD7 General] adesonic:
My volume rocker is not loose, but the camera button takes a bit of pushing, doesn't bother me though.
[HD7 General] KROMO50:
very loose when i get a text it shakes bull crap i order my phone from the the cancel department so they have to send it in the mail
[HD7 General] loomx:
Mines perfect, none of the buttons dont move sideways at all. They all wobbled on my HD2 though.

I find the build quality of my HD7 is much better than that of the three HD2s I went though, and I know of 2 other people who have HD7s and theres are all good too. (All O2 HD7s)
[HD7 General] KROMO50:
Then i am going to have them send me a new one but overall looks like i might be going back to my n1. but i got a good deal on this phone for 149.99 with no rebates and the $20 data plan from good old tmobile.
[HD7 General] ericc191:
My volume rocker is nice and loose.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
haha same. You can move mine sideways, and if you lightly touch it, you hear a little clicking noise, so annoying. I think I'll return it to T-Mobile and get a new one.
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
I thought about returning to T-Mobile to get a new phone. Let me know if they give you any trouble with the return.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
okay. I'm going there tomorrow so I'll post back here after then.
[HD7 General] KROMO50:
calling them to get a new one i order online from the loyalty department
[HD7 General] romors666:
Mine is extremely loose I even went back to return it but the only one they had left brand new out the box was loose as well. I still have 12 days gonna wait for the next batch then go swap it out. I didnt pay 500 bucks for a loose volume rocker!!
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Well, I went to the store today, and all their other phones also had loose volume rockers. But I bought a case which covers the volume rocker with a little rubber overlay, so I don't even notice if it's loose or not!
[HD7 General] djledome:
i myself got an hd7 with a real loose volume rocker and had it exchanged there are quite a few of them out threre and shouldnt be like tthat......they opened 5 of them untill i got one without the loose rocker
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
I e-mailed HTC about the volume rocker and asked if it was loose by design or if they were aware. Hopefully this is not by design.

If HTC tells me that my volume rocker should not be loose, I'll be taking it back to the T-Mobile store for a replacement.
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
Response from HTC:
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Lots of the ones in the store are loose, but hopefully you can find one that isn't. I actually kept mine, and I have a case around the phone which covers the rocker. Now I dont even notice if it's loose or not.
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
Yeah heading back to the T-Mobile store now to exchange it. I hope to find one that isn't loose.

Update: Took mine back today and got a new one. The first phone we opened didn't have the loose rocker. Everything seems to be fine thus far. Much happier.
[HD7 General] fr4c:
Got my HD7 yesterday, and the first thing I noticed was the loose volume rocker. It's pretty loose to the point where every time I use the phone it would jiggle. I'm going to take it to the T-Mobile store later for an exchange, so hopefully the first one I get will be good. It bothers me because all of the phones are sealed, so I'm not sure how many phones they'll be willing to go through until I get a good one.
[HD7 General] alabij:
Same here. Volume rocker really loose that picking up the phone causes it to jingle. Though I'm not bothered about replacing it.
[HD7 General] Stragox:
Yea I, myself, exchanged 3 devices(HD7) total, first one having a booting problem, 2nd and 3rd one having dead pixels and an almost non-functioning power button(3rd Device).I am on my 4th device right now and I just realized i have a loose volume rocker..Sorry but im not risking the good phone with no death/stuck pixels etc. for a problem that seems nothing compared to what I have been dealing with. You guys should watch out and check if the phone is fine with no pixel stuff when you exchange. Trust me its a hell of a lot annoying than a loose button.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
I work in south wales ...mmmm and this mornign all the Orange UK masts went down .

I phoned up Orange who said yes they had , and they are looking into it .... they said I can use tmobile .... I said no , as my sim is locked... ok she said and went away .

She phoned my back up 10 mins later , and said she had sent me a service text ( no signal needed ) mmmmm and once I recived this I could use tmobile...

The ornage signal came back after a short time and a text came though asking me to reboot my phone , this is did ....

I recived a text saying that I now had access to t mobile ... whne I looked I also had access to O2 etc... they had unlocked my phone !!!!!!!!!!

So now I'm on Tmobile .. better signal ... and I have an unlocked phone ...

:)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I seriously doubt you have an unlocked phone! You should be able to "see" all networks if you manually search, but you won't be able to connect unless your network has a roaming agreement with the others. In addition, this is SIM independent anyway - the only way you can tell if your phone is unlocked is to put a different networks SIM card in it.

TMo and Orange in the UK are a special case now, because they have merged. Currently, you can opt into a service which allows you to roam across both TMo and Orange. Sometime next year, it will disappear when both networks effectively become one.

I suggest that all that has happened to you is that they've switched on that option for you.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] rolfd:
I don't think they have unlocked your phone. I'd say they have enabled it to roam on other networks.

To see if it's unlocked you need to put an o2 sim in it and see if it registers and allows you to make calls :D

*edit: Beaten to it!
[Desire General] atomfix:
Everything, Everywhere. Search it up on Google. Orange users can use t mobile signal and t mobile user's can also use orange signal.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
yes I know the history behind it .. and yes they have unlocked my phone... I have put in a O2 sim ... Virgin sim etc.. and they all work ...

I could not before this morning , I have done nothing to the phone , bar use it in the normaly way .

I have just looked at my network now, I am on "Orange T-mobile"

mmm The nearest mast is T mobile , but used by every one else .... I dont know if that means anything .. but happy they have unlocked my phone...

Orange will do thsi anyway , for a fee of 20.00 pounds. ( look in the forum for more info )

If you've installed the apk's then go to Language and keyboards in the settings and tick the appropriate keyboards and then open an app that uses keyboards like your messaging app, long press the screen and select input method and then choose a keyboard.

from memory, the person had created a a pack with green glow, blue glow and red as well...

anyone have any ideas and can link me up? my brain hurts...

note, it wasn't a theme or metamorph - it was just a change of the glow colour of the default buttons and highlights etc

But nothing from all other older Tips and Tweaks works 4 my Touch HD ( German HTC StockRom 1.56.407.2 ).

delete the folder "OPERA9"

and for this "Biotouch.exe" Task

delete the folder "Touchflo" .

after finished this two steps, make a soft reset and enjoy a less of more memory and a better battery performance ..... ;)

Thanks in advance!
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
Yes it Will
[Desire General] lambdafreak:
Yay! thank you! so just using the RUUs i will totally reset my desire, so HTC won't be able to tell if it's been rooted before?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Don't know whether they can't tell, whether they look if they've no need to I don't know...so long as it's on a stock ROM I don't think they'd check
[Desire General] digo21:
What is a RUU and how can I do it, as I'm having the same problem.

I rooted to allow Titanium Backup to have root after using unrevoked but wasn’t aware that meant I also had a custom rom installed now.

I’ve been told I need to RUU as well.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility

It's the official way of flashing a ROM. Each phone has a software version running on it when you first get it and you should make a note of the one on yours before doing anything root-related for the very reason that if something goes wrong you can revert back to stock. Not all versions are available, e.g. there are no Orange RUUs about, but the ones that are can be found here:

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo

If you didn't happen to make a note of yours then it's hard to say what it came with. If you've only rooted and NOT flashed a new ROM yet then if you go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version we might be able to help
[Desire General] digo21:
Thanks for all the information it helps fill in some blanks.

I dont think I have put a different rom on it, I only rooted using revoked- does that mean it has a different rom now?

and my settings show

[Desire General] EddyOS:
You CAN use that but it's the Austrian one...the reason I ask is to find out the screen type, you should be on an AMOLED screen so you can flash the older 1.21.110.4 RUU if you need to - you'll need a gold card to do it, though, I believe

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
[Desire General] digo21:
If I do flash the older 1.21.110.4 version, are there any drawbacks, or will I just be able to update through OTA updates that will then be available to me through T-mobile to get me back to normal?

Also is there a best way to do this RUU as I have seen a few guides, can you recommend any to follow.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The way I'd do it is:

1. Download that RUU

2. Have gold card in your phone and HTC Sync installed on your PC

3. Connect phone to PC and select 'HTC Sync' from the options on the phone

4. Once HTC Sync on the PC shows connected, run the RUU

5. All being correct it'll flash the ROM

6. Assuming it's worked, you should get the OTA updates again as you did before

@EddyOS

My phone was originally on Orange and naturally there is no RUU (to my knowledge) for Orange. I've obviously debranded and rooted and for some unknown reason ClockworkMod Recovery has stopped working. I've also tried to use unrevoked method (though I originally rooted before unrevoked was created), but that doesn't work for my phone, can't find some file on the phone or something and I can't remember the code it comes up with at the mo.

I was just wondering, what RUU do you recommend? I'm on 0.75 HBOOT and I was thinking about just thinking about redoing the whole rooting process with unrevoked so I can get the ClockworkMod Recovery when pressing the back button and the power button (also never had that).

Oh and downloading it from ROM Manager worked, but stopped working, tried everything to get it working as well.

Sorry for the hefty post.

[Desire General] EddyOS:
Easiest way, for you, is to make a gold card and flash a stock RUU - any of the WWE RRUs would work. I'd say 2.29.405.5 as you might as well get up-to-date but you could just use 1.15.405.4 if you wanna keep the early HBOOT (although it makes no difference these days)

Then re-root with unrEVOked and off you go
