I just flashed my sgs to o2u...

Thanks Nodial.

You delivered me from a swamp of despair that I am unable to upgrade my phone yet. With your patcher, it was so easy that I am embarrassed that I was desperate.

I am in Australia, waiting for rebooting. It's just done.

If I noticed any problem, I will pm you here.

Otherwise, thanks again.

Cannot convert to Upgrade mode..

Everything was fine when it comes to downloading the binaries but after the downloads It says it cannot convert to Upgrade Mode and it cannot continue.. My product code is XEU and i try to spoof it to SIngapore Singtel and Europe but both of it has the same error.. I'm in Philippine but i bought my SGS in Singapore.. What could be the problem?? I use the latest Kies reg patcher 1.6.. Help..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nodial:
hmmm it seems Kies can't put your phone in download mode.

I suggest you to reinstall Kies and retry. Make sure you install the latest version of Kies (102).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mukamo_yourface:
Still no Luck..

Still no luck Nodial.. Already uninstall kies and update it to the latest version but still it says "Failed to convert to upgrade mode. Please try later. My phone is on the Donwloading mode screen but it's still not udating.. Need help please.. It seems that it is already available here in Phils. but I bought my SGS in Singapore.. Depressing..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nodial:
Weird :(

I don't have any clue about the problem you could have sorry.

If you are able to put the phone in download mode using the 3 button combo then i suggest you to use Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mukamo_yourface:
For some reason Odin does not function well in my pc.. It cannot detect the drives installed in my pc. Kies is installed properly i even reset my phone. Anyways thankyou for your help Nodial, I think your work is very helpful. Hope someone could help me with it. I'm so close to froyo.. Thanks again..:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nodial:
I see, then i think it's a driver issue with Kies too.

You should try with another PC, maybe with a friend one...

Hi Nodial,

beforeall thanks for the support, it seems you're doing a great job updating all the stuff in so brief time. ;)

I'm on a sgs I9000WINJM1 and i'm planning to update to froyo.

Can you just tell me a few things?

Is there a difference between updating from kies or from odin as final result?

Is it possible to backup my branded I9000WINJM1 before doing anywhing?

Should lagfix (Ryanza OCLF) and su be removed before starting the process?

Is still necessary a lagfix after the JP5 update completed?

Thank you really a lot in advance, and renewed compliments for all the stuff. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mosrobit:
I have a question for you too Nodial

I'm on sgs GT-I9000HKTTTT and I'm trying to update to froyo from the united states and I can't seem to get the patcher to work

I'm doing everything though step 2 (connecting to kies, opening patcher, enable spoof as true, selecting XEU as the spoofer and backup file) but when I go to kies and try to update it tells me either the device cannot be updated or that I'm running the latest version. I've tried it with different spoofer and backup files but I'm unable to get anything to work so am I missing something here or do I have to wait for an official froyo update?

Thanks for any reply.

I'm running kies 102 and am using the 1.6 patcher
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nodial:
1) Probably there aren't differences, but with Kies you can backup your phone data before to upgrade.

2) I'm not aware on how to create a backup of the firmware, i'm sorry. Yes you can use Rom Manager but you can't use the dump with kies nor Odin and it seems that to restore Rom manager dump you have to be with the same base rom, so i can't answer you at the moment.

3) Yes, every kind of lag-fix should be remover before to update! I'll put this on the first topic!

4) Well, lagfix is never necessary but it's recommended, it's up to you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nodial:
In order to be really sure the patcher works in the right registry phone folder (although i added some checks to be sure yet) you should:

- Open regedit and go here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB

- Delete the folder DeviceDB

- Start Kies and attach the phone to your PC, wait for Kies to recognize it.

- Start the patcher, select a Product Code to spoof.

- Write Registry using patcher button.

- Try to update.

If you get the same answer then it's something related to your phone model being not compatible with the product code you chosen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bogdan.petrea:
do you know where can I get a backup for CNX (vodafone romania)?

thank you,

bogdan
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Nodial:
It's included in patcher 1.6 database.

Select CNX as product code.

Backups are the old way to load static informations by the way those are still supported.

Can't run the patcher

Hi, I've a win7 x64 laptop and can't run your patcher, I run it as Admin, but it tells me that the app needs .NET Framework 3.5, but it's included on win7!!! I've downloaded and installed .NET Framework 4 and the same issue...

Any suggestion?¿

Is there any way to know the manufacture date of the galaxy S, not the battery date, trough codes into the phone or a S/N list?

Thanks in advance

PD: My battery shows 2010.07.27, bought 9 september
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmare56:
im not sure if i am right but if you remove the battery then under your serial it will say a four digit number. 10.08 on mine, 10.09 on my brother's. im thinking that means 2010 august and 2010 september.

i could be totally wrong, just a guess here.

Hi I am having an issue with my Evo where first couple of times the callers can't hear me. It usually goes away after 2 times but then if the phone sits around for about 40-60 minutes then it seems like the cycle starts over again.

I was using Fresh 3.3.0.1, but then I switched to CM 6.1 hoping that the issue would go away, but its still there. Anyone have something similar or know how I can solve this.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
It could be that your update package was not properly signed, or it was corrupted when downloading.

Download it again and see if signature verification passes.

Also if you're sure that the update package is not signed intentionally, you may need a recovery which can ignore signature (as far as I know Amon 1.8 or above can do this)
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
Hi Guys,

Thanks to the lovely people at AT&T, I'm not the proud owner of an unlocked Dell Streak :)

They gave me an unlock code over the phone :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

BIG THUMBS UP AND MANY THANKS TO AT&T
[Streak 5 General] mjaverto:
Nice. How did you get them to give you the code?
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
I just asked them for it, they were actually really helpful. I gave them my IMEI, they put me on hold and 2 minutes later my Streak was unlocked :)
[Streak 5 General] technillion:
That's great news!

...but, correct me if I'm wrong, other than ATT US and Telstra (who both use the 850mhz UMTS band), you won't get 3G on any other provider. Right? So what are going to do with it unlocked?

Sorry but I'm still lost as to why folks are selling (and buying) the Streak unlocked or trying to get it unlocked by their carrier. I usually ONLY buy unlocked phones and use them on ATT; but I didn't see the reason to buy the Streak unlocked. It's not a dual, tri or quad band 3G phone.
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
and rogers in canada. but it doesnt matter. you can still do 2g gsm with any provider and in any country.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
I shall correct you...

The AT&T Streak runs 3G on tri-band 850/1900/2100. Yes, Telstra runs on 850. However, as the Streak was NETWORK locked to AT&T, if I put my Telstra sim in the phone would not work. Furthermore, Optus and Vodafone both run a 2100MHz 3G band here in cities and regional centres (even Wagga Wagga). So if I did switch carriers, I could still use it.

You ask what am I going to do with it... :confused: I plan on using it with a network other than AT&T i.e. Testra. In order to to that the phone had to be unlocked :eek:

I got this AT&T Streak unlocked so I could use it in Australia on the Telstra network. In Australia, Optus have an exclusivity deal with Dell so Telstra do not sell the Streak. Does that clear up with you why I got this phone unlocked? Because when it was locked to AT&T, I could not use it. Now it is unlocked, I can. Simple...

Kris
[Streak 5 General] technillion:
Got it!!

Thanks for that explanation! I saw you were ATT and I assumed that meant you were in the US. It makes sense for you to have it unlocked to use in Wagga Wagga.
[Streak 5 General] Ahughes:
Streak and Telstra

I am wanting to upgrade from my Telstra HD2 to a Streak. I was looking at using a my Telstra sim in an 'unlocked' optus unit.I see ATT/Dell US now sell 'unlocked' Streak's.

Did you import your Streak, or should I try to get the 850 working on a Optus?

If you have heard anything regarding optus units, please post.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
You can't just "get the 850 working" on an Optus Streak. The the frequencies that the phone will operate on is a hardware issue and no software can change that. The Optus Streak will ONLY use the 900/2100 bands for 3G and no amount of unlocking will make it use the 850 band for 3G.

The only Streak that is compatible with the Next G network is the AT&T version and I'm not 100%, but I think the Canadian version is also 850 3G.

I imported my Streak from the USA. If you wait until the 8th of December, you could get yourself either the Black or the Cherry Red unlocked directly from Dell.

http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-streak/fs

The only catch is, you need to find someone who is willing to do the ordering and post it for you. This also means that you need to be really confident in the xda member you're dealing with. I recently struck a deal with Killster on this forum, although I have dealt with him in the past. Personally, I prefer the white Streak from Best Buy over the cherry red but they aren't unlocked and you need to try your luck with AT&T to get an unlock code. I have unlocked two Streaks this way but I have no idea if they will unlock the Streak from Best Buy. I have a rebel sim so it's not that big a deal anyway :D.

Your best be would be to offer a trade for your HD2 plus cash in the Marketplace. Just be careful though, do some research on any xda members you deal with and ALWAYS keep everything public (no dealings finalised in PM).

Hope this helps,

Kris
[Streak 5 General] ajftl:
its unlocked but no sim unlocked.. unlocked the tethering up to 8 devices.. .so u still need to get the unlock code.. its on engadget look ip up.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/23/dell-us-now-offering-streak-unlocked-with-froyo-in-cherry-red/

Well there you go...

Either way, it's not hard to phone AT&T and ask them for a unlock code. I can't guarantee that they'll give you one but I have already unlocked two Streaks this way :)
[Streak 5 General] Ahughes:
Thanks for the info guys.

I saw the Engadget post a few days back,but was unsure about a US based telco giving me an unlock code.It's worth a try.

If I have no luck getting a Dell US unit, I believe Optus only has an exclusive for another month, so Telstra may offer it..?

Vodafone AUS were very forthcoming with a (sim) unlock code for a Legend I own, so it they get the Streak I could could give them a try..

[Epic 4G General] codest3r:
I'm on Syndicate ROM 1.0.1a and LOVING IT. However, don't think this is a ROM related issue - wanted to solicit feedback from other users on their experience:

When I shut down my Epic and its connected to AC power adaptor (e.g. provided wall wort or accessory charging dock) it just reboots. Never shuts down.

Minor inconvenience. No biggie. Just strange. When I'm on USB power from my Win 7 PC it shuts down and I get the LPM green battery charging as expected. If I unplug the USB charger (form PC) and place back on charging dock, it powers up.

Is this a "feature" of wall charging from an AC adapter on this phone?

Nope, definitely not. And you're right, it's not a ROM bug. :)

2. Can this phone be upgraded to Froyo (sorry if this is a noob question - I'm a Win6.5 user)? :-)

...except that you cannot backup system apps with Titanium. You only back up the system apps' data.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:
I don't fully understand what wakelock is, I know it has to do with CPU at minimal usage while screen is off, but that's it.

Alongside that I know some kernels can reach 128MHz, but I've found they only scale to 245Mhz by default.

Could we discuss wakelock issues and scaling, maybe get a better understanding for all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:
I'm still looking for feedback, my phone has has 100% awake time lately.

Using spare parts, the numbers just don't compute...partial locks are far less than the system uptime.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipzmode:
You can read a fair amount about wakelocks here: http://geekfor.me/news/facebook-1-3-wakelock/

I'm not saying that facebook is your issue but that's an article I wrote a few months ago when the new facebook update wasn't releasing a wakelock. That has been fixed since then though.

This chart should answer a few of your questions:

There are also several screen shots at the bottom that show the commands you can run from ddms (dalvik debug monitor... it's part of the android sdk) to see any current wake locks that are in place on the phone.

FYI your phone will not sleep when it's plugged in, so you can't compare awake and sleep time when you have it plugged in. It also will not sleep after very first boot until you wake it up and then put it to sleep again. If you are having wake time issues then you should start uninstalling applications until it starts sleeping. Or the faster way would be to just do a data wipe and start over and slowly re-install your applications, paying attention to when it stops sleeping.

I know this is brief but I just wanted to give you a place to start looking.

As for 128mhz vs 245mhz... 245 is the lowest the phone can go by default. I honestly don't keep up with the kernel stuff a whole lot but if there is a kernel that is capable of going down to 128mhz then you would need to use an app such as setcpu to allow it to scale that low. In my experience in the past I have had issues on my phone when going below 245mhz. The phone would automatically drop to 19mhz and basically come to a hault. However like I said I haven't done anything dealing with custom kernels in months so I'm sure I'm behind on new changes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:

[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Any one else finding that most of the reviews of the Tab seem to be written by people who just don't get it?

I'm the first in line to call a spade a spade (that would be "shovel a shovel" for our American cousins) but I truly believe the Tab is a fantastic device and I cannot see where most of these reviewers are coming from.

I'm sure that some would say that us Tab buyers are trying to justify our purchase, but I'm honestly finding that the Tab has exceeded my expectations which were already quite high.

I've been in the market for a device that could sit between my laptop(s) and smartphone for casual media consumption and web browsing, and since buying my Tab last Friday, my Macbook has sat on my coffee table untouched and my HTC Desire has only really seen use as a phone.

I was seriously considering an Advent Vega, Toshiba Folio 100, or Archos 101 as they were all around half the price of the Tab, but after my experience with the Toshiba AC100 Android smartbook I decided that I really wanted the full Google experience (Market, Gmail etc) because it was just so much easier than faffing around with APKs etc.

In less than a week, beyond sitting at my desk, the Tab has become my primary device for Internet and media consumption, and I honestly did not expect that to occur.

Whilst the poor reviews don't affect me directly, I'm concerned that many people would be put off this fantastic device without giving it a fair crack of the ship which I can assure anyone who is sitting on the fence, the Tab most surely deserves!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
I tend to agree Dave.

The Tab is one of the best, if not THE best, android device i have used to date (and i have used many).

but its not for everyone and it does have some issues that needs to be addressed (such as the laggy browser).

It does seems like Samsung were able to overcome the issues the SGS had with the SGT and all the power to them.

I do think the reviewers just don't get it.

Some if the reviews i have read are just full of lies and totally biased (see BGR's review).
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I really like the stock browser, but it is too laggy compared to others. Samsung should definitely have worked harder on that.

I'm also not convinced by swype on a device of this size but I could be convinced, if I could have swype automatically in portrait and something else in landscape.

Regards,

Dave
