[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjay9090:
well you guys want to know what worked for me?

So I heard that the official 2.2 was out, and so just like a lot of you, I tried upgrading my SGS using KIES...

I had firmware 2.1 on my phone and KIES couldn't / wouldn't recognize my SGS... just like the OP, it always stayed on "connecting device please wait bla bla bla" ... so I just went to samfirmware.com or whatever it's called .. and I downloaded the latest firmware 2.2 for my device, which was the I9000XWJPA, and flashed it on my SGS, after that I tried to connect with KIES again, and KIES finally recognized my SGS.. so I flashed the old firmware back onto my SGS(Eclair 2.1) because I wanted to use an official 2.2 firmware, so I was on 2.1 again and I tried to connect my SGS on KIES, and again it got stuck on "connecting device please bla bla bla" ... so I just decided to use the 2.2 firmware I9000XWJPA from samfirmware.com ...

and just now I've tried connecting my SGS on KIES and guess what? KIES recognizes my phone -_-

So long story short:

On firmware 2.1: KIES doesn't recognize my phone

On firmware 2.2: KIES does recognize my phone

all I have to say to that is:

Whatever Samsung!! KIES is one F*[k€d up program you've got there!! I'm not dissatisfied with my SGS or anything, but I do think this will be my last phone from Samsung...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravi Shanghavi:
Sigh, I hate Kies, it never works. Just installed it now and my S3 won't connect. Hangs. I rebooted device/phone followed connection settings.. no dice. Phone says connected, but Kies hangs as soon as the phone says connected. It gets unlocked if you hit disconnect on the phone... these guys really can't do software. I miss Nokia software.

Anyways.. uninstalled it.. and now I came across this thread.. should have tried reinstalling the phone drivers.. fudge. Oh well. I'll just do a OTA update of my firmware when the servers are less slammed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jingwen91:
I need to sent my hd2 to HTC for warranty purposes. I'm a newbie in this and i know how to uninstall hspl2. Just wondering about the radio rom, do i flash back to original radio rom first before uninstall hspl2 or can i just flash it straight using the microSd method. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Flashing the original stock ROM over SD will remove HSPL, will bring your radio on the version who is integrated in stock ROM and brings you back on stock settings.

So the only thing you need to do is flashing over SD ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jingwen91:
thanks alot!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safio911:
can some body help me how to flash over the sd ???

i just flash the elegancia rom and ryt now i need to get back to the original windows mobile that i bought it,,

any solutions ???

thx before !!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
1) Download the correct Stock ROM from the HTC Webpage by using your S/N. (you will get a RUU_Leo_xxx_x.XX.xxx.x_Radio_xx.xx.xx.xU_x.xx.xx.x_LEO_Ship file.)

2) Right click on the RUU_Leo_xxx_x.XX.xxx.x_Radio_xx.xx.xx.xU_x.xx.xx.x_LEO_Ship file and select extract with 7Zip/WinZip

3) Prepared your SD-card (use a 2 or 4GB SD no bigger) and format it by FAT32

4)Take the "RUU_signed.nbh" from it and copy it to SD card.

5) Rename the "RUU_signed.nbh" to "leoimg.nbh"

6) Reset the device while pressing the volume down button

7) Follow the instructions mention on your screen

i've done that. worked so far to flashed my HD2 without errors.

but after i come to home screen my HD2 acts like someone's permanently pressing VOL(-). don't matter what i press or do. i tried a lot of different ROMs, flashing by cable or with SDcard, task29, diff. radio, flash hspl new. all that.

i'm going crazy 'bout that :'(

any idea what i could do?

thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Get start to give us some more device information.

- witch Rom version do you have now?

- Radio version?

- SPL/HSPL version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_memory:
i tried to flash the latest official HTC ROM: "HTC_HD2_5CRUU_Leo_S_HTC_GER_3.14.407.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship" to get shure its no ROM problem.

Radio i had on my HD2 was: Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 witch worked well for the last 3 months!

HSPL is: 2.08HSPL

i also had to say that before that i flashed gingerbread on NAND. working fine (exept battery drain and the default known ROM problems :)

an there i had also a VOL (-) problem (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906881)

because of that i wanted to change back to WM.

and thats the state know!

i first thought my bad usb-connector causes flash problem (i found 2 bad made conntacts under the microscope), thats why i flashed wia SD now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
First of all remove your HSPL; HSPL and stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible and create lot of issues/problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_memory:
allready done (by flashing via SD) ?!

as written here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623402

for me it looks like WM is missing a sound file or something like that, and thats why it permanetly switch down VOL.

because i get a "file missing" windows for a few ms, but there is no concret file name so i don't now really whats missing :(

is this possible?

i solved it!

I've got no idea why but its working! :confused:

I started the SD update process once more (the third time now :)

(nothing changed!)

what I've done is i waited after reboot till it locked it selves (screen black)

but i think that made no difference :)

probleme there again

once more bad news.......tomorrow mornig my HD2 is going crazy again :'(

actual state: my VOL(-) button isn't working.

so i think the real problem was my (know) defect VOL (-) button.

sometimes working sometimes not....

Hello,

I have a HTC Wildfire with OpenFire v 2.3 Froyo 2.2.1. I'm missing the HTC Teeter game. I've copied it from the WildPuzzleROM but that one isn't working on OpenFire. Does anyone have a working version?

Thanks.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] verbuyst:
Hi,

I upload the teeter apk from my phone (stock rom HTC), hope this helps.

Friendly regards,
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Chrizzieej:
Thanks, but when I'm trying to install it, I get the following error:

Application not installed.

What else can I do?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
try pushing it via adb to /system/app.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Chrizzieej:
That doesn't work either, the app isn't visible in the menu then!

I have another version of Teeter but that version crashed, also under Cynogenmod. Teeter only works with HTC Sense on the WildPuzzleROM when I'm trying to run it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpezXVII:
I'm into about week 2 of my first EVO and I love the phone. Yesterday, however, I started to have strange screen issues. I'll try my best to explain:

In some browser pages, forums, and even my home screens the screen will act as though I am rapidly moving it up and down. It is impossible to stop it because it freezes up all the buttons. I figured I had a bad app so I went drastic and hard rebooted my phone. (Which is stock 2.2) Initially it seemed better but it started happening again, even while writing this post...I did not install any apps so I can only guess my screen is bad?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jickey:
I'm having similar problems - see my post about screen gremlins. I'll be watching this to see if anyone has any ideas.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpezXVII:
Ok, it happened again for about 2 minutes this time. I studied what it was doing and it seems it is trying to zoom in then out very rapidly. Occasionally jumping to different spots on the screen. Any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Some of the older Evos had trouble with their screens not being properly grounded, could be that's what yours has. You may want to search for some of the older threads on it to see if that's what it is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpezXVII:
Hmm, I'll look into it. Thanks! Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpezXVII:
Well, that isn't the issue. Read some posts, watched a few videos detailing said issue, tried the tests and downloaded the Multitouch Visualization App just to be 100% positive. Passed all tests.

I have Hardware Revision 0003. Everything else runs flawlessly with the exception of this weird screen issue. Now it seems like it is trying to push "buttons" on its own, pull down the shade, etc.

Kind of frustrated now. It's just so random.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpezXVII:
Ok, I made a crappy video for you guys to see....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Yeah definitely take it back, that's just our phone's Chinese heritage showing through.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpezXVII:
So I ended up returning it. They took it back no questions asked and handed me a brand new Evo. Works 100% better.

[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
EDIT: RESOLVED! Tested on different hardware and results are very different: Sequential Read @ 20MB/sec; Sequential Write @ 12MB/sec.

I bought a Kingston 16GB Class 10 card from ebuyer.com and it is no faster than my original Kingston 16GB Class 2 card. So I contacted Kingston support and guess what they said? "Please note that means the

minimum read speed

have to be with the class 10card at least 10MB/s". Thats £80 down the drain - WTF!!!?

The SD Card Association (www.sdcard.org) states that "Speed Class and UHS Speed Class provide the constant speed necessary for video recording by designating a

minimum writing performance

". I have pointed this out to Kingston and am now awaiting a response.

So regardless of the often reported compatibility issues with Desires, I suggest that you look elsewhere for your speed fix.
[Desire Accessories] A|ex:
SD Cards and speed tests have been covered a countless number of times on the forum, i dont understand why you went out and bought a class 10 for a htc desire and assumed you would get blistering speeds from general use
[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
My speed tests have been carried out in Windows on my PC. My point is less about how it works on the Desire and more about how it is almost identical in performance to a Class 2, and also Kingston's crappy attitude.

That said, I use RCMixHD and some of the Rom is stored on the card so yes, I did hope to see some benefit.
[Desire Accessories] Zhypr:
Do some research before you buy. Complaining afterwards it not beneficial to anyone.
[Desire Accessories] Sibbi:
Ever thought of the possibility that you bought a fake card?
[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
I am truly confused by your response!

The card does not perform in accordance with the advertised standard. The manufacturer then mis-quotes the standard. So I decide to inform other people who might make the same mistake.

In what way is that not beneficial?

If it had been bought from eBay or second hand then maybe I would have. But ebuyer.com is a long standing and reputable supplier and secondly, Kingston haven't suggested it as a possibility and prefer to suggest that the performance is acceptable.
[Desire Accessories] -Mr. X-:
Google the lot number on it i bet its fake.

this is a good read http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=1022
[Desire Accessories] A|ex:
Which kernel is your desire running as i recall there being patched kernels to increase sd card speeds by almost 3x. Not too sure if it is a bug fix or an enhancement.
[Desire Accessories] foxmeister:
That's not quite all of the story - the class is the minimum writing speed you should get in absolutely ideal conditions - i.e. one large file on a completely unfragmented card. In the real world, you may well get lower speeds, especially if your card is nearly full and/or you are writing many small files.

I've been using SanDisk 16GB Class 2 cards in both my Desires for months, and they've performed just as well as my Transcend 8GB Class 6. There's no way on this planet I'd buy a Class 10 card to stick in a phone - as far as I'm concerned they are really for the semi-professional DSLR/HD Video market.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
My testing us carried out under such ideal conditions, using Crystal Disk Mark, using one large file, on freshly formatted partition using 4, 8, 16 and 32 cluster sizes. The Wikipedia page also states that the write speed should be achievable on fragmented drives, but I'm still only achieving 7MB/s write.
[Desire Accessories] Zhypr:
Excuse me, I misread. Class certainly indicates write speed. From Wikipedia 'The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD Cards, defined by the SD Association. The Class number represents a multiple of 8 Mbit/s (1 MB/s), and it measures the minimum sustained write speeds for a card in a fragmented state [10].'

I would demand a new item as advertised or your money back.
[Desire Accessories] philje123:
I truly am shocked at some of the hostile responses from some members here!

I thought the idea of XDA was to help each other not to use it as a portal to vent some anger at some poor person!

Sound like they have grossly mis-sold the card there! I get that speed on the phone itself with a class 6 card (also a kingston btw).

I would be very suprised if it is a fake from ebuyer!

Phil
[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed by the response too. So thanks for injecting a bit of common sense. :D

I am aware of this issue and I have been using a "read ahead" fixed kernel for a while. But the problem is not with the Desire specifically, as the card under-performs in a PC too.

That's an interesting read, thanks. Kinston asked for the serial number and they didn't say it was fake, so I see no reason why it would be (and it probably performs too well to be a fake!).
[Desire Accessories] foxmeister:
Then Wikipedia is wrong! :) Not wholly unusual for Wikipedia either.

http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/

If I were you, I'd also test again using a different card reader and/or PC before assuming it's the card at fault. If you are getting 7MB/s it's certainly not far off class 10 minimums (which makes it less likely to be a fake IMHO), but you also need to ensure that the bus you are testing over can actually sustain higher speeds.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Accessories] MightySashiman:
I bought a kingston class10 16gb card and I must say I'm really impressed with the data rates. around 12Mb/sec writing. (haven't tested read yet => is there a special utility app to perform this test straight on the phone ?)
[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
Yes, that is what Kingston have now suggested too. They have dropped their claim that the Class rating covers only the read speed and have also offered to replace the card directly. It is entirely possible that my internal card reader is the issue so I will have to find another device to test it on.

I tested on a PC as I do not know what the capabilities of the Desire are, i.e. can it actually read and write at over 10MB/s. But yes, there are a couple of utilities in the Market, one called SD Card Speed Tester.
[Desire Accessories] MightySashiman:
when transfering from a computer to the phone (which is mainly why i bought this card), i get 12Mb/sec data rate write. I just tested with the sd card speed test on my phone, and i get W=3mb/s, R=4mb/s, which is clearly much slower than what i get when transfering from my computer. I'm thinking android has a lame way of accessing the sd card....
[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
In Android, my Kingston 16GB Class 2 card achieves 4MB/s W and 15MB/s R with SD Card Speed Test.

I also test with SD Card Tester, a 100MB file achieves 3MB/s W and only 2MB/s R whereas a 3MB file achieves 5MB/s W and only 1MB/s read.

All very erratic. That's why I don't test within Android.
[Desire Accessories] PinkySlayer:
RESOLVED! Kingston had suggested that these new Class 10 cards were exceeding the capabilities of the i/o device so I tested the card on different hardware at work and the results are very different:

Sequential Read @ 20MB/sec;

Sequential Write @ 12MB/sec.

It is a shame that Kingston had to begin by denying that the card was even capable of these write speeds as this could have been resolved much sooner. But credit where it's due, this is a stonkingly quick memory card!

Thanks to all who contributed.

[Vibrant General] JJG2:
I am running an unrooted stock vibrant. I got the Ji6 update a few weeks back, and I was told that it would improve my GPS. But apparently my GPS still doesn't work. I know there are alot of tweaks and hacks here on xda that supposedly fix the gps, but id rather wait and get the official fix from samsung. But if the ji6 was it, then im quite dissapointed. Does your stock vibrant still have a wonky GPS? Or did the update fix it for you?
[Vibrant General] bigragu:
GPS works great!

I am running Bionix 1.9. Last night on my way home, I was in an unfamiliar area on a small side street and got a little lost. I turned on my GPS and opened up Google Maps. Within two seconds it locked me in and gave me directions home. I noticed the address at the top of the screen where it said I was. I looked over at the house number and street I was on and it was exactly right.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
I've never rooted either, and for me it's still not perfect. Sometimes it works well, but other times the location jumps around, or the phone hangs and has to be rebooted.

I've seen an improvement since the JI6 update, but my experience is if you use it enough you will encounter flakiness still.

Would be nice if subsequent updates improve things, but right now that's just a hope.
[Vibrant General] sanketvp:
Yes I had a similar experience, with my stock vibrant which has the j16 update. Took over 5 mins to lock on to the gps signal.
[Vibrant General] JJG2:
What kind of GPS fixes did you do? Or did you just flash the bionix rom? Sorry im new to the whole hacking scene. If the GPS really works as well as you said, I might just consider rooting then..
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
I believe it's just plain bad hardware, and it's not competitive with most other current smartphones.

I've tried a bunch of ROMs, with similar results. The update gives you a faster lock and an accurate report on the number of satellites, which is nice, but it doesn't do anything for the core accuracy problems which plague the device and cause tracks/navigation issues. It doesn't help that the compass is also still very wonky, which causes Google Navigation to flake out when I'm stopped at a light.

All in all, it's very disappointing. I'm thinking of switching to the Nexus One due to this issue.
