New issue...

Good to see that nobody else had this problem. Fortunately I found out how to get into download mode. I may have successfully (maybe?) reflashed stock through Odin. However, when I reboot the screen goes black and the phone turns off. I've spent hours trying to find the exact type of potential issue I have, and none of them get me past where I'm at now. The most promising I found was this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811820

but I am not exactly sure of the sequence: constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" that I should be doing. Like, how many times do I do this? When I push the power button while in recovery it (obviously) just reboots, which is what it is supposed to do. Am I trying the wrong thing/ in th wrong thread? TIA.

I was also trying to find the instructions where you odin "froyo that doesn't brick" and then odin the original, but I don't see it now.

if you need to get into download mode, use Eugene's method:

pull battery and leave it out

plug in the usb to the phone and the computer

hold volume +/- key

insert battery while holding the volume key

Hey, thanks for the reply. I am able to get in to download. I'm uploading the file now, it's a big one. We'll see when it's done. Thanks again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbexpress:
Oh well, so much for the theoretical impossibility of bricking a Vibrant:(. I did the whole YouNeek fix, no go. It still does the same thing as it has since I screwed it up, it turns on, reboots and then goes black. Oh well, I think I've about had it with Samsung. The screen is awesome, but the OS is just not user friendly. The irony is that when I bricked this thing I took the SIM out and threw it back into my G1, which I have NEVER had an issue with. HTC...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holiday5804:
I had the same issue you had, boots, screen goes black but buttons still light up. I posted the fix in a few different threads, one of which I started myself. If you search for threads I've started your fix will be there. You have to flash eugene's "froyo that will not brick" through odin and then flash the stock rom again through odin. Check my thread for a link to the exact instructions. I fix my phone in about 5 minutes once the roms were downloaded and happily shipped my replacement back so I won't have to pay the $20 in shipping:)

Hi,

I registered myself yesterday, but i didn't have time to introduce myself yet.

So now i'll introduce myself, better late then never so to speak.:D

I'm Arjan Kuiper, 28 years old.

Currently living in Oude Pekela (The Netherlands).

I'm the proud owner of the OMNIA II (GT-i8000), and since 2 weeks the Galaxy S (GT-i9000).

The GT-i9000 is currently running Adroid 2.2 aka Froyo, it's also rooted with the SuperOneClick method.

Oh yeah....the carrier is T-Mobile.

Basically i'm just a newby what the Adroid O/S concerns, but hopefully that'll change soon enough.

I'm already checking some mods during this humble little introduction.

Best regards, Arjan.

PS. My English is a bit rusty, so my apologies.

Hi

I get the sending.... hanging problem with the galaxy s built in gmail app.

clearing the cache doesn't work, and using the other email app wont attach video , it just says too big.

what are the good alternative email programs?

Cheers

Hi,

I'm using K-9 Mail via an IMAP Account and are fairly happy with it. Only one thing: Push-Mail via IMAP-Idle drains the Battery like Hell... but a 15 Minute poll is fair enough (shorter Intervals are also available).

And it is FOSS...

Bye
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:
cheers K9 came up in a google search, it sounds good

I turn off sync with email and check it manually when i want to.

its more about sending an email and it actually getting there . where the gmail app fails .

I check my mail on my main computer, but use my phone to 'quick check' stuff. but if an app is a 'beast that takes ages to open' that would be a pain. I didn't think about battery life, (cheers for that). so many apps just run in the background on my galaxy s. as much as i love it, it is another crazy computer in my life .

is K9 a free app or advertising/donation?

also any other suggestions welcome too
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SargeRX8:
Are you sure the gmail app is failing? If you've got your phone to manually sync, the email will never send. The gmail app does not send emails as per request, they are put in a queue and sent out only when the phone syncs. Try it now. Send an email and keep syncing disabled. Nothing happens. Hi options the. Choose refresh option and I will push through the queued emails. As for file size limit, I wouldn't know but I have added a total of 5.8mb in an email which sent fine.

Edit: re read your post. Use the gmail app and try what I said, it has no issues with file size like other **** apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ayn:
K9 is free open source software without any kind of adds or something else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:
its a known issue:

http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=1363d927a73ee840&hl=en

send sometimes works

sometimes doesn't (usually when i attach pic or video)

i can send very small test messages by clicking refresh

i always use refresh to send the email with sync disabled

its a know issue

the file size issue is to do with the 'other' email program that came with my phone.

I've ruled both out as not fit for purpose.

but i don't want to try hundreds of apps so i thought a few good recommendations might help.

cheers anyway, but I'm giving up on the gmail app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:
quick update:

I've tried K9

it had success sending video attachments (that were stuck on gmail app or cancelled on the other galaxy s email app)

the bad

when it set up, it took ages (i have 1000s of email on my gmail account. so it could just be that)

it doesn't seem to group the emails (like replies from forums etc) can i set the settings to do this?

the names like expunge and poll (empty trash and refresh)

it seems a bit slower than the gmail app? but i could just be me

i'm trying to get used to the scrolling left and right in messages.

the good

it showed the full message

it could send video attachments to gmail (is 25mb max for gmail)

it sent the items (unlike the gmail app)

it seems pretty equipped with options

looks ok

I'm still not sure

What else might i try?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:
ok

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S

I shoot 3 videos (all 3 are about 7mb)

Gmail can handle attachments up to 25MB

Gmail app always gets stuck on sending (with no warning to let you know its not sent)

MMS wont convert the files

Other Email app wont accept the file size

K9 sends them (which is a step forward)

but doesn't group messages by conversation

also it has the push always running (i don't know what push is)

and seems to always be checking my mail (I don't mind exploring the oddly named and confusing settings if its the program i am going to use)

also the built in gmail app shortens messages so replies from this forum wont display the link to the topic (pretty annoying) the other built in email app does display the link long enough to click.

I feel very frustrated. :confused:

I just wanted to send a couple of funny videos to my friend via any means.

And it feels like my Samsung Galaxy S is just completely against me doing this in any easy fashion

I might keep K9 but turn all the setting to check the email off and use it if i want to send a file.

how do i turn the check mail settings off on k9 (the options are confusing, confusingly named, and different depending on where you are in the program.

if i turn K9 off, and use it only occasionally will it take ages to open if i keep all my messages on the server?

Or is there a fourth email program:

that opens fast

groups the messages

sends attachments up to 25mb

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:
i tried Maildroid but he adds were annoying.

back to K9:

How do i stop K9 automatically checking mail?

and how do stop the k9 mail service app running constantly (i assume its the push thing)

I'm thinking of keeping the app on there to send files by email, and for links that don't show up properly like replies from this forum. but i don't want it spanking my battery or checking for emails

How do i set it up for "there when i need it"?

the options are confusing and have nonsense kind of names. :confused:

Cheers

Hey Guys,

I initally bought my HD2 last December which has 448mb of RAM which looking at the packaging was made in Tiwan (REV:A). After smashing last month my insurance company decided they was going to send me a new HD2 now it came with 1.66 installed but never decided to look at ram size but after upgrading to latest stock rom 3.14 it has 576mb Ram is this because i have HSPL2 on the device or have HTC decided to enable the "locked" ram?? I also noticed the stock rom came with Radio 2.15 which i was supprised about seen as most people won't need to **** around to get android running. This is REV:B made in CHINA also seems to have a different type of screen in it. Is this already know what i've mentioned or of any interest to anyone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
If you install the latest stock ROM 3.14 over HSPL you will see that your device indicate to have 576MB of RAM.

But at the same way you will only have +/- 50MB of free program memory!

So best is to remove HSPL and reinstall Stock ROM 3.14 without HSPL.

So I purchased the slide finally(yay) and I have no data plan but am now looking to buy one. I know there is 2 types, smartphone and regular.

You'll probably have to buy the smartphone plan. Call Tmob and ask them to make sure, but im 99.999% sure these phones will only work with the correct data plan.

Hi

I'm looking for an alternative sms app for my galaxy S

the built in one converts to mms after 300 characters.

the kind of features I'm looking for are similar to the galaxy s built in one

- opens fast

- integrates with the phones text alerts

- preview of pictures and video

- group by conversation

I've done another post about the GMail app and email app playing up, is it best to keep sms and email separate. the 2 are kind of different for me. are there apps that do both sms and email (just out of interest)

what are the hot favourite SMS MMS apps?

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bluecluster:
handcent sms

handcent sms is great! very configurable (you can turn off MMS conversion e.g.) and looks great - it let's you choose baloon styles (or even replace them with forum style threads), colors, fonts (for each person or all of them), custom notifications, add or remove profile pictures in baloon mode etc.

i love it, but you need to spend 10 minutes configuring it and browsing through options to get the most out of it.

there is paid and free version.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:

handcent

both don't fill the whole page from left to right like the galaxy s app

so less text and more scrolling

i can find a picture of the galaxy s text app :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
I think you can change the sms auto-convert (at 300chars) off in the messaging app settings (press left capacitive button whilst in the message app) if I remember correctly..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
I have all I need with the default app, even the default SMS app for andriod is decent enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxy44:
No dice. This doesn't work. The is no option like this. I wish there was.

I can add a subject or text and it converts to mms.

But hit 300 characters and you stuck in mms mode.

By left capacitive button do you mean the left menu button on the front of the phone?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
Yes thats the button. Sorry, I made a mistake, I just checked and there wasn't that setting, I guess I got confused with chomp or handcent which I believe both have that option last time I tried.

There is an option in the menu though called mms "creation mode" - restricted/free/warning. not sure what that does.

Warning - The device will guide the user to create and submit multimedia messages belonging to the core multimedia message content domain. The user has the option to ignore the guidance.

Free - The device will allow the user to add any content to a multimedia message.

It's ugly. I also don't like the feel of it. I'd take the Samsung app anyday.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silverstorm:
Another +1 for HandCent

Love the customisation, although I leave the bubble styles at 'Handcent Classic' theme.

The pop-up quick reply box is awesome and I can also security lock my messages for further privacy and of course switch-off the lame autoconvert to MMS, and whole host of other functions like interval reminders if I didn't hear a message come in, etc.

I switched immediately after I saw the TouchWiz SMS app would cut off long messages and you'd have to click on it to go to another page to read the whole message in size 36 font!! lol Also the bubbles look lame, the font is massive here as well and it spans across the whole screen making it less easy despite the different colours to differentiate between sender and receiver messages in a conversation thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KaliKot:
Yes I just called Handcent fugly, while it is customizable I think the buttons and the bubbles are pretty rough and unpolished compared to the Samsung one

And I HATE having the New message button as a little icon on the upper left

I would love it if they spiced it up. I do like the custom backgrounds though

Chomp looks a little bit better but still not as polished.

I do keep both though and I like the bigger text in the message window on the default app
