[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gez05:
Hey,

First off, let me give you some background of my problem.

I don't know the names or numbers of what ROM or Kernal I'm using, but if I said I'm running the official froyo version (I think it was the norweigan or dutch version?) that needed the registery hack that came out a few weeks back, I'm sure the people here can work out what I needed to get that done. Appologies for being so unhelpfull on this front.

I installed root the phone and installed the OCLF. Everything was running fine until today.

While I was just looking around in the OCLF app, I noticed there was a font item in the menu that allowed me to now use different fonts so I clicked fire it up. Then it said something about the lag fix not being correct (it only showed up for a few seconds) then the phone turned off.

When I switched it back on, my background was gone, half the widgets missing and it was unresponsive. I couldn't go into any of the usual applications like the app drawer and the contacts/messaging. The phone will vibrate at what to me is random intervals and then the screen will go black a few seconds after the media scan is complete. 8-10 seconds later it will come back on, straight to the homescreen and the process will repeat. I've seen this happen 4 times in a row before I pull the battery out so I'm assuming it's just going to be an endless cycle.

I tried doing a factory reset from the recovery menu but that did nothing. My plan was to install the new Official Vodaphone UK Froyo update, but not only does the phone not stay 'alive' long enough to do this, but I also can't connect it to the PC. So I can't remove the OCLF (as far as I can tell) and I can't put any new roms on the internal SD.

I can get into 2e recovery and download mode. I don't think the internal SD card has died, ebcause from what I've read, it would say something other than:

"appling Muti-CSC...

Installing Muti CSC"

Again, I'm just getting into this so my appologies if I've missed anything. If there's anything I can do to help you guys diagnose what's wrong then I'll be happy to help.

-Update-

After leaving the phone in recovery mode for about 3-5 mins, it changed to an exclamation mark in a triangle with a little green droid guy next to it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madfix:
Did you try to flash your SGS to stock with ODIN?

I guess it'll be the one and only way to go.

Try XXJPK, with repartition checked, pda, modem & Csc, using 512 pit file.

After that, you should be able to flash your favorite custom Rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gez05:
Hey, thanks for replying.

I managed to get the *#1234# screen up last night.

It says:

PDA JP6

Phone JPM

CSC JP4

I looked on samfirmware and I couldn't find any firmwares with XXJPK with a 512 pit. Just 803.

Also, I thought that you only had to use one of the three when using Odin? Like PDA, Phone or CSC. Evidentley not, I just wouldn't know how to go about it.

I'll have a read while I wait for a reply :)

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gez05:
Update.

Seems to be fixed. Flashed to XXJPK then XXJPM. Sorted :>
[Droid X Android Development] DawidD:
A silly question, as I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere: Is it ok to install custom roms on the droid x 2.2 OTA update? I just had to swap my handset and I've no idea if custom roms like tranquility 3.0 will work without getting stuck @ boot.
[Droid X Android Development] airmaxx23:

[Droid X Android Development] DawidD:

[Droid X General] Kamar234:
I currently have a Samsung Fascinate, and while I love its superior screen and hardware, I'm not too confident in Samsung's commitment to this phone. I am toying with the idea of exchanging my phone for a Droid X, but I have a couple of questions. I am aware that the X has a locked down bootloader, and playing around with it is a highwire act. Is the original sbf I think it's called available so if something goes wrong you can restore it to stock? I recall Motorola forcing sites to remove this file. Also, if that is no longer available, what safeguards are generally used when modding? Thanks for your time and consideration.
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
The file is available here...

http://rootzwiki.com/

...if you are even considering an X- I would grab it.

Without this file- there aren't many safeguards. You can create a nandroid backup- but in certain cases you can't even get into recovery to load your back up. In that situation if you do not have the SBF file all is lost.

If you really like doing mods to your phone- I would not buy the X. I have one and I am sorry that I did not wait for a phone that can run "real" custom roms - as in custom kernels and all.

The phone is pretty awesome as is. But I like to do stuff to my phone.
[Droid X General] jeaton313:
The x has custom roms and kernels I am running simply stunning x and 1.2ghz overclock so what do you mean no customization. I had the fascinate and the rims half the time messed the phone up and the kernels were no good. The Droid x is the most popular phone everybody is working on it. So I think it is the best phone.
[Droid X General] Kamar234:
I have been using smartphones since 2003 and this is my 3rd android phone. First I used the Hero, then the droid 1. That phone really set the bar for me in terms what a phone can do with mods working on it. To the previous poster, I'm afraid that the setup of the droid x keeps it from truly having a custom kerna, and the kernals on the fascinate now are pretty good. I guess I will have to sit on this phone and deal with Samsung. Hopefully they do right by the millions who have purchased this phone, but they may already be preparing the replacement for this phone in a couple of months. I appreciate your input, but it looks like the droid x just may not be the phone for me. Thanks and take care.
[Droid X General] Steven58AF:
Please understand that the Fascinate's screen and hardware is NOT superior to the DX. I was in the store comparing them. Whereas the SF's screen is super amoled, the colors being more vibrant, the screen is kind of dark especially in sunlight. Me? I need bright. Dx does it. Also, the DX is metal and therefore more durable, imo.

Me? I'm running it overclocked consistently at 1.35 ghz and have a custom rom/theme. I love it. It's a great. Don't hesitate to get it.

I was faced with the choice for my daughter's new smartphone. The SF was never in the running. I didn't like the plasticky feel and the dim screen. So, I got the Incredible for her, kinda a compromise. Good luck. Feel free to ask more questions! :)
[Droid X General] azturbomini:
I am not flaming or trying to start a thread fight. Having said that... As an ex incredible owner, now facinate with reception issues, I too have looked at the X to fulfill my needs. The X's screen being the deal breaker. I have and did again today mess with my friends X and the post above about the facinate having a dim screen is hogwash. If the X came anywhere close to having as nice, crisp and non washed out looking display I would buy it in a heart beat but it doesn't. Everything else is great on the X but after owning the best display made I can't go backwards. Infact, the inc display is better (imo) And to the gentlemen above, you couldn't have bought a better phone for your daughter... (imo)

Edit:

I'm going with the X due to reception issues with my facinate...

[General Questions and Answers] arabian1982:
This is a serious problem I am having.

First, this is a back ground of what I did with the device before I have this problem,

I bought this locked on france tele (orange)

I unlocked it.

I rooted and unrooted my phone several times (pretending I am an expert)

I tried to update my phone to 2.2 using kies by reading instructions to change registries (which turned out to be not good instruction as I down loaded 2.1.1)

from this point on, when I connect to kies it says that ''this version cannot be updated'' or something like that.

so I started to familiarize my self with odin and downloaded many android versions for samsung galaxy s mainly from samfirmware trying to get my phone back to be synchronized with kies so it could be updated with kies.

(I decided to back off a little and not to play too much with the system in my galaxy but that seems to be too late)

I tried to install the different versions in my device by download mode and check if kies know the version, it always doesnt.

BUT

at the end I got

firmware version 2.1-update1

Based band version

I9000XXJE2

Kernel version

2.6.29

umits_scm@S1-BUILD05 #2

Build number

ECLAIR

FROM NOW ON

I cannot use the download mode in my device to update by odin because it always fails

when I go to download mode I get

a message in red at the top that says

''KeyPressed, 50''

if i got to recovery mode it says at the top

android system recovery <2e>

samsung recovery utils

for BML

and then below are the options

reboot, wipe, etc..

How can I go out of this situation

I want to go back to be able to update normally through kies

or at least be able to install versions by odin

otherwise, it seems my device could not be updated at all.

thanks

Am I the only one running sgs with froyo (JPO) that have problem with playing videos??

When running eclair I could run mkv 720p video with no lag whatsoever.

but now on froyo even simple mp4, xvids etc. lag.

it comes and goes on and off.

nothing big is running on the phone when watching.

I use my sgs for watching alot so almost thinking about going back to eclair.

I have oclf lag fix and using the build in video player (other player lag more)

hmmm no one having this issue??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
I guess you did just upgrade to froyo from 2.1

If so you then have alot of old settings and data that will interfere and make the phone bad.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
You also need to wipe the cache and format the internal sdcard.

Install all app manual. Don't use any old backup...

Try other lagfix to se if you get better result.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
It's a problem that I've noticed since I first flashed a froyo firmware, XXJPK. JPM was about the same, but JPO is an improvement. It's still not silky smooth like it was in Eclair. Samsung have F***ed it up, and haven't fully fixed it yet. I think it'll be improved with newer firmware.

Oh, and what DamianGto was saying is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with restoring apps from Éclair.

why do i have a feeling samsung isn't gonna release any more firmware for sgs...=p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
There were a whole truck load of firmwares for Eclair, and hopefully the trend will continue. I think they will release a better performing 2.2 ROM in a few months time, after the Froyo roll-out is complete.

yeah, JPO here and I tried a mkv 720p the other day, ran smoothly. then a normal xvid avi...some minor lags 3-4 within a 1½ hour movie.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknown630:
This worked like a charm for me. Hope it helps

First, check if your file is already AVI. If it isn't, convert it to an AVI file. I would recommand WinAVI, but there are many similar programs on the net that can do the same trick.

If you have the AVI file, go to the next step.

Download VirtualDub. VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms. Install the program on your computer.

Next, start up VirtualDub. Open your AVI file in the program by going to "File", then "Open Video File" (Ctrl+O).

Now go to "Video" and select "Direct Stream Copy".

Again, go to "Video" and now select "Frame Rate" (Ctrl+R).

Select the radio button which has the following text: "Change so video and audio durations match". You should end up with a non-standard frame rate.

Go to "File", "Save as AVI" (F7). After saving the video, try to play it in your media player if it is in sync now.

There you have it, a fully synchonized movie. The only time this trick doesn't work, is when the audio and/or video rate changes during play. It's almost impossible to fix this. Now, lean back and enjoy the movie.

I am testing the International Edition of the Samsing Tab (GT-P1000, with the phone functionality built in out-of-the-box and the white backplate). Here in the US, when I insert an AT&T SIM card I get 3G speeds (peaked at 6 MB downstream recently), but when I insert a Tmobile SIM card I seem to only get EDGE speeds (not 3G, around 0.1 MB downstream). The Tmobile SIM card works at 3G speeds on another phone, so I know it's not he SIM card. I can get voice calls on both Tmobile and AT&T with no problem.

Does the International Edition (GT-P1000) have the US 3G Tmobile bands?

Any input is welcome, thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:
Welcome to the fray. Grab a beer and get comfy... because the Euro version does not play with TMobile's 3G network in the US.

If you are technically inclined, it seems we could use some more hands trying to figure out a fix for this issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] dalethefarmer:
The T-Mobile Tab does not have the hardware to support European 3G bands... That's why I believe the euro firmware people are flashing only works for voice/edge on T-Mob...
[Galaxy Tab General] mail_e60:
That would make sense that the International (Euro) version does not have US Tmobile 3G bands... it makes me wonder if the limitation is in the hardware or software.

Do we have any indication that the limitation is in the software, other than the fact that a US Tmobile version exists?
[Galaxy Tab General] TurckBoatTruck:
I am certainly no authority on any of this, but this looks to be incorrect. From my reading of the posts on this issue... the Euro version of the Tab (specifically, its modem.bin file) isn't set to work with TMobile's 3G network as the that network operates on a frequency that isn't used in Europe.

User rotohammer looks to have the most knowledge on what it is going to take to make this happen -- but keep in mind that most of us have TMobile Tabs and are needing a solution with that fact in mind. The general thought was that we could use the firmware from a Euro version to give us voice-calling capability, and then hack-in support for TMobile's 3G network.

sheesh, I wish I would have paid attention in school because I want to be a bit more useful with all of this.

Is there a solution to this yet?? I recently got hold of a P1000 from Germany. Thanks a ton!
[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
According to what I have figured Out....it disappointed me too, But!!

GT-P1000 is not capable of running 3G Tmobile network

The Hardware CPU, Radio Chip...is capable and is switchable to the band of 1700/2100 MHZ.

The Radio Amplifier is not Capable of 1700/2100 MHZ bands....so us who have International Version of the Tab is Screwed!!!

The proof = I flashed my GT-P1000 using Tmobile Modem to switch and ENABLE 1700/2100....I can only have Edge+Voice...when I flash to T849 modem....the Tab gives No Signal

if the GT-P1000 was capable of handling 1700/2100 Bands easily then my Tab should do 3G only by using T849 TMobile Tab modem Bin

I am a google nooby and is doing what I could....those are what I found out...seem like I have to sell my GT-p1000 Soon.
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
Or switch to at&t and 3g & voice work
[Galaxy Tab General] thuanvinhny:
This is the only way...yeah...wait til TMobile release Phone + data on tab...or switch to ATT

The international version and the ATT tab is about the same....the 1700 mhz band is shot out.....

Samsung exclusively included 1700 for US tmobile just as they exclusively make cdma tab for the sprint and verizon.......

No hope....m selling mine, or return to the place i bought from and lose 200 usd

****If buying this tab for phone call and edge only***** I rather go for the Ipad 2 or Iphone 5 in a few months

US tmobile have a unique stupid bands on their 3G....and all of the phones or tabs they have suck monkey *****....

Hi everyone I was reading Motohammers post in the developers form about being able to get 3G on a GT-P1000.

My question is this... It's my friends tab and I am not able to get 3G at all. He doesn't care about being able to use the phone, but would like to use 3G data if he is out of wifi.

info in the tab:

firmware= 2.2

baseband= P1000XXJHA

Kernel ver= 2.6.32.9

I followed Rotohammers T-Mobile Modem Switcher, but am getting

stderr: Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/

redbend_ua: No such file or directory

stderr: /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua: not found

I followed the directions exactly and still no go... followed another guys post to install files on the internal sd card and still can't get 3G to come up no matter what.

The SIM card I am using is from a Galaxy Captivate S with voice and Data (6gig plan) on Rogers....

Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

[Galaxy Tab General] Githrog:
@fishguyis

Have you tried flashing a Rogers modem? At the end of your post you say you are using a voice/data sim on Rogers, not sure if you have tried this or if it will even work but as far as I know if you flash a modem that doesn't work you just won't have a signal, and you can just flash back to a modem with signal, if you got the modem switcher working and you just don't get a signal or if you only get edge, most of the time you can rename another modem to match roto's modem name in the switcher and swap the modem you want to flash with the modem that roto includes with the switcher, like if you want to try a Rogers modem just rename it to match and swap with roto's included 3g modem, I hope that is not to confusing I can't think of any other way to explain it, I hope this helps in anyway and I hope you get it working.
