I have had issues with this in the US. I was able to solve this by getting the settings from the O2 website under Data. Make sure that the proxy and apn settings reflect the website info. If that fails, contact O2 and ask for the data connection settings to be emailed to you. They have a long drawn out set up process, so this may be where you're hitting the brick wall - so to speak.

hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has found the camera to be annoying because you have to be literally holding the camera in front of you to take pictures because theres no dedicated camera button on the phone. i was wondering if its possible or if someone has already created some mod to where they can use lets say the volume up or down button to take the picture. i'd rather sacrifice the zooming feature with the volume rockers because i can zoom in and out right on the screen before i take the picture. thanks to anyone who has any information on this.

Hi rooted my wildfire with unrevoked. Now i would unroot it to update with OTA and, I hope before Xmas, with Froyo.

In Superoneclick thread i read:

"Some devices have a NAND lock. SuperOneClick will only give a Shell root until you remove this lock.

The following phones can use unrevoked to remove this lock:

[...]

- HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)"

If i'll install Superoneclick on my Wildfire rooted with unrevoked (and i think with nand unlock), will I be able to unroot in order to install OTA and then re-root?
[Wildfire Android Development] Dr_Death:
Froyo still didnt hit WildFire, you can use this tool to download the OTA update manually

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786352
[Wildfire Android Development] atkinchris:
You can unroot by simply installing a corresponding RUU firmware (ie stock). This reflashes recovery, removing root.

However, I would strongly recommend you stayed away from returning to stock; we can't root stock 2.2 yet (not that it's even out yet). If you want to taste Froyo, simply flash Wildpuzzle, Cyanogen or Openfire (Wildpuzzle is closest to stock).

Furthermore, to reply to your post's question directly; there is no point in installing SuperOneClick. If you're already rooted, you can flash ROMs all you like, but without an AUFS kernel or similar, you still can't live write to system. There is no point to adding more root tools, to simply unroot, wait for Froyo, and then to not be able to reroot. If what you're wanting to do is update your Eclair OTA, so you don't have to wipe it but still get the update, then just OTA it in it's current state, and if needs be, unrevoke it again. There's little rigmarole necessary. Personally, the OTA does very little, though as I run custom like most on here, I get the latest Eclair build in my Wildpuzzle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topcat888:
Hi

Firstly I have searched and read most of the forum...

After installing Z4Root successfully (no problem), I installed oclf from the market, then clicked on install ex2 tools successfully (no problem) then clicked on install lag fix 2.2+ (failed)

It ran through everything (copy etc) then eventually said 'failed'... It then automatically rebooted, but now ALL apps have Force Close (has stopped unexpectedly) plus vibration ~ Once you have pressed 'Force Close' for all the of them you are left with a black screen with the bar at the top showing signal, battery and time, thats it.!

Please tell me how to go backwards as I can't get to oclf to un-install anything..??

What do I do now..?

Can I re-install JPO via download method, or will this not work because of it being rooted..?? If I can, do I use Re-Partition..??

Help would be very appreciated... HELP.! :-(

Thanks

Phone: UK Galaxy S / 2.2 JPO (all unlocked etc) ~ download mode is available
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3chn0:
Best option would be to reflash xwjm8 with re-part and then flash jpo both with 512 pit

Do not repart when flashing jpo

This should be in the QnA section
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topcat888:
Thanks for the reply and as I thought... The fact that it has been rooted will make no difference to re-flashing..?? Correct..??

One other question I have just downloaded JM8 from samfirmware and extracted the files but there is no CSC file in the rar..? Do I not need it ~ I thought I did.??

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
That's probably a combo file so it has everything you need in one file, just use that as PDA with 512 pit and you should be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topcat888:
Sort of, it contains the CODE and MODEM but no CSC...

So just to check, I should use only the CODE file (CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar) as the PDA with 512 pit and repartition on as the first flash (before JPO)..??

No MODEM or CSC file required..? Correct.?

Thanks

After the second successful flash, the home screen picture and 'sweep glass to unlock' is back BUT after that all applications are still FC ... I can't get into keypad or the menu (or anything else either)..?

If you clear all the FC's then your back to the black screen with the status bar at the top (signal,battery & time). If you let the screen time out then press menu button you see the home screen picture with 'sweep glass to unlock' again...

What do you mean by a wipe after flash..? Hard Reset? Can't, no menu or keypad..?

Sorry, any more ideas..?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyrale:
from recovery mode (turn on phone by pressing vol up+central button+power, release power button for a second when you see on screen "galaxy s bla bla bla" then press again until you reach recovery). from there you can perform "wipe cache partition" (you can move in that menu with volume rocker and select with central button). hope this helps.

[HD2 General] itamar:
Don't you have GPS machines in Syria like Garmin or TomTom ? Do these work in cars ? If so, there is a signal and you should be able to get it to work, if these don't work in Syria at all than you have a problem.
[HD2 General] j.i.wilson:
GPS is a critical utility used by the Department of Dense (US). As such it was designed from the ground up to be un-jammable. Hence it is dificult to jam - certainly difficult to do permanently without affecting other critical systems.

I think it highly unlikely the GPS signal is jammed in your area. Look to other causes first.

Oh - and which Garmin software did you install on the HD2? I am not aware of any suitable Garmin software being available.

hi.

I have galaxy S I9000 froyo 2.2 official. Orange rom.

I currently use Z4ROOT with RyanZA OCLF version 2.2.8. Benchmark score is around 1800.

I read somwehre that the VOODOO lag fix is better.

Can it work with froyo 2.2? Do I need to root my phone with other application? (uninstall Z4ROOT)?

I'm asking this since the phone is still laggy in some parts, like waiting for it to load the contact list.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bess833:
You usualy get lower benchmark scores but better real life performance with Voodoo.

It does work with Froyo, but you have to flash it via Odin. Remove oclf first though. And pretty sure you can keep z4root, but if you remove it, it's easy to root using Voodoo.

Edit: You could also get better performance by debranding your phone. Operator bloatware just slows it down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
What does it mean better life performance? In what way? Is it smoother and faster?

And what id Odin? I'm kinda noob at this. I got my phone last week. My first android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bess833:
It means that while OCLF provides better benchmark scores, Voodoo provides better user experience - it's snappier, faster, smoother, generally better (for most, anyways). Not by a huge groundbreaking margin though.

Odin is a tool you use to flash firmwares/kernels/etc to your phone using your PC.

If you want to flash Voodoo, I suggest you remove OCLF (you can remove z4root too, but you shouldn't have to) and then read this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew071:
You do not need to root for voodoo to work so if the only reason you rooted was to put OCLF on you can use Z4root and unroot. other wise just remove Remove all the OCLF fixes made and uninstall it. then follow the tutorial that was nicely provided above.

:)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaliKot:
Its not complicated at all, just load the file via odin, press a few buttons on the phone click on Flash and then it works
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bess833:
It really isn't complicated. Assuming you connected your PC with your phone already, you have drivers. Make sure you close KIES before proceeding though. So all you have to do is:

1. Remove any other lagfixes that you may have

2. Go to Download mode

3. In odin, put the VooDoo file as PDA and do nothing else in there

4. Plug your phone in, wait for Odin to find and recognize it, maybe install drivers if that's the first time you work with it

5. Hit Start
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
ok I've done it. I don't really see any improvement. but benchmark shows 1500.

Just follow the detailed steps mentioned on project-voodoo.org and report back.

Voodoo is known to cause boot animation currptuion for a split second. This is fixable. you need to flash a new kernel to fix it. Dont know how cause my friend did it for me.

Also, to remove voodoo - go to the voodoo folder and create a subfolder remove-lagfix (i think it's the name) and then restart your phone. It will automatically remove voodoo - you can hear the voice stating the steps and then you will boot without voodoo but you'll get boot animation scramble thingy.

[G2 and Desire Z General] bluegizmo83:
This if my first How To and first contribution to the forum, so if there are any corrections that need to be made just let me know.

This is a How To for getting Hulu working on your G2

without

the use of a PC and ADB. This is all done directly from your phone.

Prerequisites:

1. Rooted device (temp root or perm)

2. Unknown Sources (Menu - Settings - Applications - check "Unknown sources")

Apps Needed:

1. A console/terminal app (ConnectBot is what I used)

2. An app to install apk files (ES File Explorer is what I used)

2. flash_fix.apk (download from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=688054)

3. about:debug fix (it's contained in this Hulu.apk, download from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6888650&postcount=139)

Procedures:

Step 1: Uninstall Adobe Flash updates (Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications) note: you can only uninstall flash updates via this method, not sure if its needed, but do it anyway.

Step 2: Open your Console/Terminal app and type these commands

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mv /system/app/install_flash_player.apk /system/app/install_flash_player.apk.bak

Step 3: Install the flash_fix.apk you downloaded earlier

Step 4: Install the Hulu.apk you downloaded earlier

Step 5: Open your STOCK web browser. In the address bar of the browser type

about:debug

and press enter (nothing will happen). Now press the Menu button then More, click on Settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and click UAString, choose Desktop

Step 6: Reboot your phone

Step 7: ENJOY HULU!

Step 5 must be repeated every time the phone is rebooted.

NOTE: Hulu will only work in the stock android web browser, not sure why, but it works. The videos are not optimized for mobile viewing so you will encounter some skipping. However, I noticed if you lower the video resolution during playback it is a little smoother. You can do this by clicking the settings button on the video and choosing a lower resolution.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ccb04:
Make sure you change the setting in Dolphin..Go to setting > Agent..change it to "desktop"..With the stock browser you have to repeat step 5 after reboot.

I am on tmobile uk and just recently tried to connect to orange (i have terrible reception at workplace) but my phone returned message: your sim card does not allow for connection to network.

And yes i did register myself on signalfest when i received text from tmobile.

I even phoned customer service and they send me new sim card but i still have the same problem.

I google it and it turned out that there is more people out there with same issue. But i couldnt find any solution to this.

So did you have this problem and solved it? or still have? Any sugestions welcome..

Btw i am using darkys 3.0 rom..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Psycode:
I too cannot select Orange T-Mobile manually and get the same sim card error message.

But I did find that sometimes I've automatically connected to the Orange network and see the roaming signal bar icon, so the switch is happening but perhaps only if a T-Mobile signal is lost altogether.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Panadolic:
Yeah i got that once or two as well but after conversation with tmobile customer service i know that it should be possible by choosing network manually. Btw what rom do u use? Stock or custom?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SkinBobUk:
Have you got roaming turned on in your settings?

I admit i cannot select t-mobile manualy, however when i want to swap back from t-mobile to orange it lets me.

But most of the time it seems to switch between the two pretty seamlessly.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Serikiito:
I'm on Orange and I can't select T-mobile network but it does change automatically. I get the error if I try to manually select T-mobile.

My friend that uses a HTC Desire and on a T-mobile contract can change networks with out his phone giving an error. So maybe it's to do with the Samsung Galaxy S?
