[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeyhitman:
If by a small chance that you are talking about the SamServMode app, well you can download it from the Market. I can't remember the servicemode code myself and uses this app to get into Service Mode and play around with the audio configurations. Sorry guys for keeping this thread alive.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadhou:
You can also try the Mixget app available from the market. it will allow you to download update_mixget.zip and just change the name to update.zip, flash it thru 2e/3e recovery. then you should be able to play with the lib_alsa settings and also set profile for headset, default and boost.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
I didn't understand how the mixget works + I have no idea what is alsa.

I've also read the post about this fix that you enter through the phoe codes, it resets every time I reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadhou:
AFAIK, mixget uses the same principle on the codes that you saw, the one using ADB or a terminal emulator. mixget is easy to use, just download from market. when installed, go to the alsa tab, it'll tell you to download it. just push the button. once downloaded, rename the update_mixget.zip to update.zip. then go to recovery (Volume Up + Home Key + Power Button) then chosse apply update.zip using the volume rocker, press home key to flash the update.zip. Then once completed, open mixget and go to alsa tab, the ideal setting, AFAIR, is 62 on the headset. just play with the other settings to see what would fit your hearing.

Hey Everyone,

Just got my Locked Rogers Captivate yesterday and have been trying to figure out how to get data working with the Fido network...

These settings seem to work for my phone:

* Name: fido

* APN:wap.fido.ca

* Proxy: 205.151.011.011

* Port: <Not Set>

* Username: fido

* Password: fido

* Server: <Not Set>

* MMSC:mms.fido.ca

* MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13

* MMS Port: 80

* MCC: 302 (retrieved from SIM)

* MNC: 370 (retrieved from SIM)

* Authentication type: none

* APN type: internet + mms

Browser works good with these settings.

For some reason though I can't search the Andriod market any suggestions?

Hope this helps,

Ryan
[Captivate General] FutureSix:
these settings are for 2G...

my settings:

Name: fido internet

APN: internet.fido.ca

Username: fido

Password: fido

APN Type: default

Leave All other Settings Blank

MMS

Name: fido mms

APN: mms.fido.ca

MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca

MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013

APN Type: mms + 3g

Leave All other Settings Blank/or like they were

if it still doesn't work... enable DATA ROAMING, and it'll work.
[Captivate General] yungstar89:
Are you using a fido sim card? It's weird that it works without unlocking the phone. First thing I suggest is to download the sgs unlock app and unlock the phone. There's no reason not to really.

Dont't use the wap apn. Explains why the browser only works.

This works with mine:

Internet

Name: Fido Internet

APN: internet.fido.ca

Proxy: 205.151.11.11

Username: fido

Password: fido

MCC: 302

MCN: 370

MMS

Name: Fido MMS

APN: mms.fido.ca

MMSC: htp://mms.fido.ca

MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13

MMS Port: 8080

Username: fido

Password: fido

MCC: 302

MCN: 370

APN Type: mms

I just combine it as internet + mms to make things simpler.

Try this one first though:

Internet

Name: Fido 3G+ + MMS

APN: fido-core-appl1.apn

Proxy: none

Username: none

Password: none

MMSC: htp://mms.fido.ca

MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 302

MCN: 370

APN Type: internet + mms

Update me on which works please!
[Captivate General] geokilla:
I'm using internet.fido.ca and it works fine for me. I haven't tried the .apn one yet. I'll give it a try once I finish calibrating the battery.

[Captivate General] Tayeule:
Hi guys,

I'm also using this but I DO have to leave it on romaing for data. (Why? - Are they charging me data roaming fees even tho im a Fido sub?)

My setup:

Rogers captivate with froyo update using att release.

Fido Sim Card.
[Captivate General] koreancanuck:
I called fido and read forums and I've been informed that you will not get extra charges. Not sure why you have to check roaming for rogers captivate though.

On a different note I'd like to share my experience with 2 different internet apns provided. "Fido 3G+ +MMS" gave me about 2k/0.3k for speed test while "fido internet" gave me 5k/2k in dl/upload speeds. I'm running axura beta 2. Can anyone confirm?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate General] Tayeule:
Awesome. Very nice to know.

Will try and post my findings on speed as soon as i get to test the different APNs.

[EDIT]

I'm also getting similar speeds from "Fido 3G+ +MMS" (2.8k/0.35k).

From fido internet : 4.5k/0.2k

Also checked with a colleague here who is on rogers on an x10: he's getting around 3.5k down and 1k up!!! crazy upload speed.

tested with speedtest.net's app
[Captivate General] jackjack078:
same here,

tried use both 1)mms + internet, and 2) internet only, seems internet only can get better result on both upload and download speed, using speedtest.net app

i noticed when i use that APN tho, that the 3G data transfer icon will stay up, but if i try to use any data it will switch to an H logo, i assume this is for HSPA? but when i did a speedtest using the speedtest app, i only got 1.5 mbps while on my iphone 3gs (which had the exact same data plan/sim card on it) i got ~3.0 mbps down rate. any idea what would cause that? i thought HSPA was quite a bit faster than 3g?

I have just edited the AnyKernel updater script by koush to work with eMMC devices :-D

hope ppl can make use of this :D

its very simple

1) grab the .tar.gz file

2) extract

3) add the zImage to the /kernel/ directory

4) add .ko modules to /system/lib/modules/ directory

5) **optional** change the boot partition location in the updater-script (not normaly needed)

6) zip up the file

7) its ready to flash in CWM :D

[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
Not sure why, but when I turned my streak (1.6, no hacks/updates), once it boots, I could before depress the off/on button for a split second, and the screen would go to sleep. Now, it won't. If I hold the off/on button, the menu pops up like normal to power it off. Tried removing the battery.

Short of a blow it out reset, anyone know what I can do to make it go to sleep when I tap the off/on button?

Oh well...I'm sure a wipe will fix it...at least I can use the widget I installed

won't be hitting the on/off button as much ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cavok1979:
I've come across a rather annoying problem with the HD2 and Activesync.

This has happened twice now in the space of 3 days.

I used task manager to kill all tasks on my HD2 to clear all running programs, including a instance of Activesync, however afterwards I can't start Activesync on the HD2. It opens, and displays the normal top bit of the Activesync screen, but the bottom half is stuck on the HTC Sense page, then ActiveSync exits. Repeat attempts at starting Activesync result in the same, it just won't start.

I've tried turning on the Data Connection tab in the comm manager, since I use google sync, but when I do, it just brings me to the mail configuration page, it's almost like Activesync has become corrupted. This has happened twice now after owning the HD2 for over a year. ( Which I have to say has been a problem riddled year of HD2 ownership).

Does anyone have any ideas? Is there anyway to reinstall just the activesync part of the system without an annoying hard reset?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
I'm no expert on G2's and I don't even have mine yet but I have been reading about root on the G2 for the past week but are you rooted with GFree? The VISIONary method is old, the new method is with Rage and GFree, the VISIONary method is about 90% real, its not TRUE S-OFF. And when you say terminal, do you mean the emulated terminal? If so, maybe you accidentally have the superuser app to deny root access to the terminal app. Look at your super user app and see if it is in the denied list. And if you did root with the old VISIONary method, re-root with Rage and GFree. I can do my best to help you get a proper S-OFF if you would like.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Is there a pause before it says that ? Because the first time you do "su" a window will pop up on your phone screen from the Superuser app, and you have to authorise Superuser to let "su" have root permissions. If the phone screen is off you might not notice this, then it will fail to get the necessary permission.

[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
With the Nexus S already sporting it and google actually programming for a Galaxy phone, the chances of Gingerbread are very good.

Google is already optimizing it for the hummingbird as we speak, it'll be easier for Samsung to port it to their other devices.

Before it was easy to port to the EVO and everything else just because the nexus one had very similar CPUs to all of them.

not everyone has the money to outright buy the phone in feb and even if u got your cap at release your a long ways from an upgrade I will pay 600 or whatever it is because i have to have it. And I really think samsung working on froyo was a waste, seeing as how gingerbread is coming out soon, should have just upgraded to that next.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
Lol we don't see any evidence of Samsung putting effort into Froyo. I know there have been a few build leaks, but c'mon, you don't really think they put a ounce of sweat into it right?

Here's the Samsung dev team: 1 coder that plays starcraft at work and breaks a few things every now and then
[Captivate General] Xstop:
lol, agreed. Don't know why so much talk about "Gingerbread"

We don't even have "Froyo" yet, only the leaked version. And even then, when the official release does come out, I won't be upgrading. Too bloated when AT&T get's their hands on it. I'll stick with the customs.

Plus I think most of the people in here that has any of the Galaxy S phones will most likely part ways when "Gingerbread" is out. I know I will (and I don't think our Galaxy S phones will get it either).

I also believe there is no "GPS fix" for our phones in the future either and there won't be one.

Shame since by just about every spec, the galaxy s is ahead of it's time. If only samsung supported it and the a droid market actually apps to push it.
[Captivate General] JPS81:
That's the problem, Samsung figured if it put in all the most powerful toys in a single package and didn't give a crap about how it was put together or how the software is to make it actually work, it'd still sell on specs alone.

And they were right.

So they now have absolutely no incentive to make a more quality phone in the future. They're just lucking out that Google is choosing them to be the next Nexus (if rumors/leaks are true, of course).

Here is the problem samsung doesn't seem to get. We buy their phones on a two year contract. They get paid monthly or whatever from AT&T for us signing up for two years. Who in the $&$& wants to buy their phone when you don't even get a full six months of support from samsung. I have to pay AT&T for two years to buy this phone. I know apple gets paid monthly from AT&T as part of their subsidation process. I bet samsung does too. They get paid for nothing. What a rip.

I don't know about everyone else but I could give a duck less is they give me the greatest eclair ever made. I don't want it. Even tho I knew better when I got this phone I was told "you will have 2.2 within the month" welll its been forever and not a mention
[Captivate General] Corriewf:
Now that is scary! Why would they still be working on 2.1?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Apple may have a special deal but other Phone makers do not. Samsung, Moto, HTC - they sell through many channels, not just AT&T - and they sell off contract.

The way it works for hardware:

AT&T buys phones from Samsung... probably about $300 per phone. They sell them subsidized for $200 or maybe $0.99 or they sell it unsubsidized for $499. Samsung makes their profit on the phone sale when they wholesale them to AT&T.

Updates are created by Samsung on behalf of the carrier. If AT&T doesn't want to bother with an update, then the manufacturer doesn't create it. Again, this goes for Samsung, Moto, HTC, etc. It has been this way for WinMo and Android. Nothing new here.

Believe it or not, Apple also sells the phones for fixed price to AT&T. They may make money on some monthly cut, but that is a separate deal. But don't compare Apple, they have a deal different from every other phone maker out there.
