have you sent through Bell or directly to Samsung?

I assume through Bell?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxywolf:
does anyone know if 10.08 on the back of sgs is the new hardware or the old hardware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] striker456:
my phone went out on nov26. got a new one back dec24, a dec2010 production date. didn't know about the $100 credit. did you call your store, or the 1800, to get it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ricerz:
I called Bell Technical Solutions again and this time they indicated the $100 began on the 28th. If you sent your phone prior to this date, you will get a replacement within 4-6 weeks. If you go to Bell after the 28, you will recieve $100 credit and loaner fee waived but they will get a software upgrade which will still take 4-6 weeks.

I called the Bell store and they said they have a Nokia N97 loaner for me. I called customer service to have the $20 fee waived. I guess it's ok if I don't get the $100 credit, as long as I have a loaner.

It is a little confusing because the Bell store rep said they JUST received my phone, I sent it in on Dec 20. He informed he the motherboard was going to be replaced but technical solutions indicated the phone would be replaced.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
OMG!!!!!!!!! finally the phone is back! after like 3~4 weeks gone (just 1 day short of 4 week)

the first thing i'll do is pump JL2 to it, and put in a lag fix, and see how long is last before dying AGAIN! :p

... hey after all we only got 1 year warranty, might as well use it to the max ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jentech:
Phone just died last night for the 3rd time in the 4 months I've had it. No lag fix, just a custom rom. Picked the phone up to check email and screen was blank. Rebooted, and hit with the no internal SD card. Last time I had it in, took 2 weeks and they gave me a new phone with a 07 10 date. We'll see about this time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
i would skip right over jl2 (but use jl2 modem with jpy... jl2 reflashes both bootloaders and i have read about people who flashed it being unable to get any other firmware to work on the phone.. wondering if they are using the new encrypted/signed bootloader that they are now using on some galaxy tab firmwares and that is the reason..

also do you know what they did .. is it a reflash, new motherboard, new phone etc. etc.

now just get my old one fixed..

anyway you wont be spending **** for time on it now that you have the nexus S :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
LOL :D you got me there

at least now i don't have to worry about not having a phone to use for business

before i was hesitant to install any of the lag fixes, as i had that gut feeling it would kill the phone, and i was right about that.

but now that i have extras phones to use for business, i have no reason to hold back anymore

the SGS is now officially my play toy until i sell it :D ... or until it dies and goes back to repair... which ever first :p

well if FIDO would even come up with a better unlimited voice+data unlimited + free zone plans, then i'll most definitely switch back to them, just because the 850/1900 bands have better reception overall

1700 is not bad, but areas without relay antennae are not as good, like 1st level underground of most malls or parking, or subway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
i know i am really enjoying trying stuff on the i9000t i never would have tried on the i9000m.. just put on a modified version of froyo launcher and have landscape mode and clear background on the app drawer workng.

Also enjoying the back light notification kernal and app.. Never would have tried that stuff on the i9000m.. too touchy.. but i will when i get it back and give it to my son or daughter if it holds up.

Checked my phone repair code earlier today and it still says being inspected.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
That would be older hardware. I bought mine on the first day of launch and I have 10.07.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxywolf:
O GREAT so i swap a dead sgs for a old model possible to die on me sgs.... thats just GREAT:mad: GOD DAMN IT

anyone know wats the latest hardware number..., so incase it died on me in a few days i know i have to ask for a new model number LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:

Let the normal usage begin !!!

Did that sound right? Shouldn't I have said let the abuse begin?

So it seems FutureTel does get hardware supplies every 4 weeks or so...

because back when I first got my phone after 4 weeks wait, i did email like few days before I got my phone and and futuretel told me they still had no ETA for parts required for i9000 phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pagey1:
6 weeks, many calls, they ended up replacing it and now Froyo is up and running very well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxywolf:
just got a call from bell customer executive relations, they decide to pay for my dec bill.... i guess its better then nothing...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] linkness:
So my phone was sent in for repair on Dec. 21. I called in to customer service to ask them what can be done about this new policy about phone replacement and $100 credit at first he said he had no idea about the new policy but after a few minutes of checking he said he had found it but was unable to do anything on his end because I had already sent my phone in and he didn't know how the store are dealing with it so he told me to go to the store.

I go to the store and they say the policy took effect on the 24th I asked them if they could just give me a new phone now since the repaired phone is just going back to the store anyways when its done and they said no way. I asked them about the credit and they said to call customer service so I was like WTF is this BS! I ended up later calling retentions dept. or whatever its called and told them my story and she was really helpful but unfortunately she could not find the new policy about replacing phones and the $100 credit. So what she did was give me $30 off my bill for 3 months. I guess its better than nothing but what I really want is some SGS goodness back :S

I will try calling again next week or so if I don't receive my phone by then.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devonblue4u:
I sent my phone to JP Cellular Repair in Richmond, BC and got it back in less than 24 hours. I dropped it of on Wednesday at 11:30, got the call it was ready for pick up at 10:00 the next day. The cost was $100.80 and Bell credited my account $100 over the phone without asking for a receipt. I can't be without my phone for a day, let alone 4-6 weeks. And the call to Bell took 20 mins, that was a surprise too!
[Focus General] smacar01:
One of the glaring ommisions from the new platform (which I really like in so many other ways) is the loss of the Internet Connection Sharing application which as a business traveller I found indespensible. Someone please come up with a WM7 app version soon!

Many thanks

[Focus General] jdgay22:
yea i so with u.. i will keep my hd2 until some one comes up with a usb tethering app..
[Focus General] enjoythemusic:
Tethering or wifi hotspot from phone is really needed (for security sake when travelling).
[Focus General] siralex241:
Search the thread regarding a diagnosis app in this general thread section...ill post the specific thread link when I have time
[Focus General] cuckooznest:
Tethering

It's possible, though not as simple as just running an app. There's a write-up at mobilitydigest.com. Search for "windows phone 7 tethers" (forum software won't let me post a direct link).
[Focus General] Paolo01:
Everybody keeps pointing the OP to the tethering feature via the diagnostic app. While that is great and very useful, it is not what the OP asked for. He cannot "share" his internet via his tethered connection.

While the tether capability uncovered will serve a lot of us in the interim, WP7 really does need a "sharing" or 'local hot spot' creating capability down the road. I am sure that att et all will have issues, but this is 2010 and there are times when in the name of the job or some other instance, you simply have to have a hotspot. Isn't this why we pay over a $100 a month for a plan. Now I am confusing two separate issues. Back to the OP's question. Internet sharing is currently not supported.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
I think that is exactly what OP wants. Internet Connection Sharing App on original WM is not a hotspot feature either. It offers data connection to one PC via either USB or Bluetooth.

WP7 has thethering capability built-in IIRC. But it is up to carrier to enable it. And we know all US carriers will disable it because they charge extra for tethering.

AT&T was able to modify and lock down ICS on WM 6.x phones to use a different APN so that you have to pay extra in order to use ICS on those phones. However, such restrictions are easily removed via a few registry hacks.
[Focus General] smacar01:
Apparently Connection Sharing/USB is Available

Check the pocketnow.com website under windows phone for a detailed explanation of how to do it...

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/samsung-focus-does-tethering-after-all-on-windows-phone-7
[Focus General] JMackey:
A third party app like this is not possible at the moment I believe. The WP7 SDK currently doesn't have support for sockets (yet) so any network based app are limited to web services only.

I have been trying to figure out how to sign an apk I have for the droid x. Actually it's a lot of apks but im using this one as an example. I have deodexed the apks and now want to resign them to put back onto my droid. From what I understand, after unzipping and apk and rebuilding it, you need to resign it before it can be used. If this is different for the droid x I am unaware.

Also, in before moved to General.
[Epic 4G Android Development] plapczyn:
Maybe it's already installed. :) Most of the ROMs have it already built in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tanimn:
you need to adb shell or run a terminal on your handset and create a link where metamorph is expecting to find busybox (or simply copy the binary)

i.e.,:

$su

#ln -s /sbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

- or -

$su

#cp /sbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

linking saves you the trouble of version mismatching, but some people seem to have issues with it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
Hi All

I've finally got my Desire z, which is my first android phone and I'm having trouble with it.

Firstly, my network o2 in the uk, don't support the phone so can't send through settings for internet etc. Secondly I have tried several sets of APN settings I've found online but none of them have worked.

ALso, despite having connected to my wireless network, I still can't get internet or anything working.

At one point for a couple of minutes, I did have my location and weather showing but now that is not working either.

So far my experience of the phone is nothing but disappointment as I can't do anything with it yet :(

Can anyone help me?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xanth:
I'm on O2 UK myself and it took me a while to get it right, but here's what I have and it all works okay (both standard Internet data as well as MMS)

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names

You need to create two APNs, delete everything else you might have:

Name: O2 GPRS (or anything you want)

APN: mobile.o2.co.uk

Proxy: <Not set>

Port: <Not set>

Username: mobileweb

Password: password

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: <Not set>

MMS proxy: <Not set>

MMS port: <Not set>

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (Because you can't unset this)

MCC: 234

MNC: 10

Authentication type: PAP

APN type: default

Name: O2 MMS (or anything you want)

APN: wap.o2.co.uk

Proxy: 193.113.200.195

Port: 8080

Username: o2wap

Password: password

Server: <not set>

MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002

MMS proxy: 193.113.200.195

MMS port: 8080

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 234

MNC: 10

Authentication type: PAP

APN type: mms

And that's all you need to do. It'll use the first connection for regular Internet and will automatically use the second one with the MMS details when needed. I tried to combine them into a single APN, but wasn't ever able to get a fully working solution so I just gave up as the two APN method above works.

Unfortunately O2 send "small" photo messages if they don't recognise the useragent of your phone and I think they're still doing that, but I haven't done much testing with this. Sadly if that is the case there isn't anything you can do except hack your MMS UserAgent (I don't yet know how to do this) or wait for O2 to hopefully add it to their system.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
Thanks for those, I did manage to get it working in the end last night.

The problem was that although my phone was connected to my wireless network, it was unable to access the internet (any one got any ideas why?). Cos the wifi was connected the phone wasnt even trying to use the mobile internet settings.

Once I turned off wifi, the mobile internet worked fine.

Now my problem is why my router wasn't letting the phone connect to the internet but allowed it to connect to wifi?

After a restart of the router it all worked fine for a little while (maybe half an hour) then it stopped working again...
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
The firewall in your router ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
My Desire Z prompted me when I put the SIM in what settings to use.

It didn't have the O2 Mobile Web APN though, just the MMS one. Internet (HSDPA / 3G) was working out of the box. Have added it now and it seems my internet is quicker / more reliably*

Regards

Craig

*As quick and as reliable as O2's 3G data network can be.. Voice n text is always fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
I've disabled the firewall and still nothing, the phone connects to the wireless but can't see the internet at all.

I'm completely at a loss as to what the problem might be, I'm guessing it's something to do with the router but have no idea what or how to solve it.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffortissimo:
Since the update of my X10 to 2.1 I noticed some strange behaviour.

I could do almost a day with my battery, but on days I wasn't using my phone the battery also lasted 1 day.

Today I found out that my screen turns on randomly.

I suspected the Live Weather Wallpaper which updates every 3 hours (only), but disabling it didn't do the trick.

Strangely enough, my screen doesn't shut down either after set time.

Does anybody have the same problem or knows about an app/widget which influences the screen?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindred7:
I'm not sure if it's the same problem but I ran into something similar before where every night my phones screen would turn on at 12am. After some looking around and thinking I realized I had my phone to back up at that time both with the standard back up tool and one for titanium back up. My screen would turn back off after the set time however.

It might be the same thing but since you said the screen doesn't turn off I am not certain.

If you really have no idea what is causing the problem you can take a closer look to see if it is truly random. It may be periodic.

EDIT:

While you're at it, list the widgets and other additional apps you've installed since 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffortissimo:
I found the reason for not turning off. The app Quick settings had it turned of (guess by me).

Now to check turning on.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodneyBR:
Same thing is happening to me. The screen turns on randomly and stays on :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffortissimo:
Last night the screen stayed off.

It was probably my settings within 'Quick settings' which disabled the screen off function.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodneyBR:
This is still happening to me from time to time :( Not sure what is causing it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffortissimo:
This weekend it 'got' back again.

While connected to power, the screen turns on when the battery is at 100%.

Annoying.

But last two days I'd to recharge the X10 because of a lit screen.

I thought it was because of the 'Quick settings' app, but that's gone for over a week now.

This is on the market. My daughter has been using it on our old Eris. Why post it here?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Klyentel:
Why not? This is the app section, where the community is welcome to share, discuss, and post apps of their likings on or off market so long that its not warez.

Is that a problem for you?:rolleyes: I mean really, just because it's old to you doesn't mean its not new to someone else, and some people search the internet before searching the market for new and cool apps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jmattp:
1: You read my post to yourself in a tone that I wasn't using. That's understandable, I didn't put a little emoticon at the end. It's impossible to translate tone over text.

2: Some people might feel uncomfortable side loading apps from unknown sources. Rather than posting the QR code so people could view the application's security access, you posted mirrors. It's not entirely irrational for someone to question whether or not the application has been modified to allow malicious activity. I see that you posted a link to another page that has the QR code, but wouldn't it have been enough to post just the QR without numerous mirrors?

If you're the developer or are affiliated with Bejoy Mobile, then it would make a lot more sense. Their site seems to be down.

Here is the QR code for Paintjoy:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Klyentel:
QR codes can be easier I suppose. But don't they require camera? Barcode scanner? I know people who's camera don't work, and some people, like my wife, don't know anything about apps like barcode scanner and wouldn't know what to do with it if they had it. Almost everyone, is familiar with links and mirrors, and as anything else you download from the internet...you download at your own risk. So I'm not obligated to edit my postings according to personal security of peace in mind to the anonymous viewers as to whether or the not the app has been modified in any malicious way.

As far as your posting, I did not read it in any type of tone at all, You asked a question & I answered. Simple as that. Maybe my answer carried a tone that disturbed you, if so, I apoligize...heres a few smiley's to lighten the mood--
