[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
I diddnt specifically mean that it was the flashing that did it but it is OBVIOUS that it happened after he flashed right???

It is known that flashing will sometimes "speed up" the death of an already faulty sd card and that is what I meant by my original post...

And PS... The number of people reporting their sd cards failing on stock firmware w/ no lagfix or no previous flashes to "unofficial firmware" is WAY lower than those reporting sd card death after flashing or adding lagfixes, etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
Which obviously points to an existing hardware fault that is exacerbated by flashing, not caused by flashing
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
And again... I did not specifically state that it was the "flashing" that killed the OP's phone. I simply stated that this seems to happen to MANY people after they flash. NOT the same thing...

Did you come to this thread to argue or to help the OP? I simply posted a reply last night stating that it seems his internal SD card is dead so that he could prepare himself for having to send it away for repairs. I did not respond to the OP to get into an arguement with anyone over "what causes the internal SD cards to fail".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuem:
Don't argue guys! I appreciate all your help:)

What is the best way to ''fix the internal sd card''

Isn't there a way to like factory reset the internal sd card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
@cuem,

Unfortunately... If it is an actual dead internal sd card (which it seems to be since the steps you followed already did not seem to fix the issue) the only way to fix it is to send it back to Bell who in turn will send it off for warranty repair.

IF you have just purchased the phone within the last 30 days (possibly 60 if Bell is still extending the DOA return policy) and you have a receipt you can take it back to Bell and get an exchange.

Again, unfortunately these are your only options to get this fixed... :(

Sorry to be the bearrer of bad news...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuem:
Just when I think this couldn't get worst,I was wrong.

I tried using Odin3 One-click downloader, I wanted to flash it with At&t stock firmware( hopefully it would work) then flash it again with 2.1 clair

After using Odin3 One-click downloader, it said sucessed, but now my phone is STUCK on At&t blinking logo and I can't go into download mode anymore.

I've tried the 3 keys combo, adb doesn't reconize the phone.

I'm pretty much screwed,warranty won't work if Bell sees At&T logo blinking upon power up.......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Ooooooo... That is not good. The American Vibrant is NOT the same as out i9000 models.

What you need to do now is search the forums for the homemade jig thread that will force your device into download mode. Search the forums and you will find it.

Be prepared to be "handy" as you will have to build the jig from scratch...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuem:
Yeah, I've read about the Jig thing, I've also read about heating your phone with a hairdryer,

I'm currently trying out the hairdryer, but it doesn't work =/

Might have to try the Jig thing, which seems a little complicated with ordering since I'm running out of time =/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuem:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncruz:
This has happened to me, I just flashed with an older version, for me JM5 worked fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
I had the same thing after flash and spent many hours and tried many different methods to get it back up with no success.

I'm leaving the country for Europe on January 2nd for vacation. This was the last thing I needed... Hopefully I get it back before then, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Well... At the very least at least the firmware is now correct so you can send it away for repair if you need to...

[HD2 General] xiaohan:
I upgraded to the latest ROM version 3.14.831.3 couple of weeks ago, after that I found the camera flash light does not work when switch to always on mode. The flash light would be not on until I take a photo which acts the same as the auto mode.

I have tried the factory reset, which seems it only restore back to the latest ROM with clean settings, but the problem is still there.

Any one has same issue?
[HD2 General] thecybo:
Yes, it's the new software version that does that.

I was thinking if we could take the files from the old camera software and put them in this version.

It's annoying not just if you want to use the phone as a flashlight (solved with torch app, but not that handy) but the picture quality in low light conditions totally sucks, because it won't focus when the flash is on.
[HD2 General] ian_uk1975:
This is by design... it's SUPPOSED to behave like that! The way the flash illuminated constantly like a torch/flashlight in the old ROM was very annoying... it wasted battery power, blinded your subjects and was distracting for everyone else around. You won't find a conventional 'proper' camera exhibiting this behaviour (actually, they can't anyway due to the way xenon flash tubes work).

The new flash behaviour in the new ROM mirrors how a conventional camera would behave and, IMO, is a big improvement.

As for focusing, I've never had much of a problem and think the HD2 does a very good job in low light most of the time. The only real solution to accurate low-light focusing is an IR focus-assist lamp.
[HD2 General] ManyPearTree:
+1 :D

Battery Power..
[HD2 General] xiaohan:
If it is by design, HTC should disable the option in the camera mode to have the flash light always on. And also disable the flash light in the Camcorder too, it works totally fine in the Camcorder mode.

Plus they do not mention this change in the ROM description.
[HD2 General] ian_uk1975:
I think you're misunderstanding how the camera app is designed to work... when you select the option to force the flash on, you're telling the camera app to always fire the flash, regardless of the ambient light level. The flash LED is not supposed to stay lit the whole time that 'force flash on' is enabled and using the flash LED as a flashlight to see where you're going has got nothing to do with the camera app. By modifying the behaviour of the flash LED in the new ROM, HTC have replicated the behaviour of a regular camera and have enhanced the camera app in doing so. Having the flash LED constantly on has got nothing to do with taking better pictures.

When in video mode, of course the LED should be constantly on as its purpose in that mode is that of a video light. This is correct functionality.
[HD2 General] TechnoHippie:
I think you're right about this. What would be nice is if there was a way to have a little more control over it. For example - if you're in reaaally low light and want to take a picture you can't even see what it is you're trying to take a picture of unless the flash LED is on - so I understand the op's frustration. What would be ideal is if there was a way to tell the HD2 to activate the LED flash X seconds prior to taking the picture. That way you could make it come on for a second or two before it takes the pic so you can actually see what you're takin a pic of.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
or, for those rare times when the light must be on when taking pics, you could always turn on the torch and then start the camera.
[HD2 General] xiaohan:
Any recommended torch app for HD2?

[G2 and Desire Z General] androidFTW718:
Ok so I just went on their website and I couldn't believe my eyes on the data plans..... 50$ for unlimited data on smartphone really? WTH tmo smh from 30 to 50 that's too much right there and I just switch to 10$ dollar one, I really hope I don't have a cap cuz if I do idk what ima do.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NeurotoxicX:
If you have the option for a family plan, try and go for that. My bill for my line has been 48 bucks for 9 months and that's unlimited everything
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
Sounds like you are looking at the laptop connect data service for the web connect stick or the Dell Mini for customers without voice service. Web connect service is $49.99 and customers with a voice plan get a $10 discount making it $39.99. The current unlimited data service for smartphones is still $30.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
I think you should try reading something thoroughly before posting about it
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidFTW718:
I read carefully it says smartphone not data stick there's a reason why I'm posting it is cuz I'm sure about it

http://oi51.tinypic.com/14j9bgm.jpg
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZeroSX:
That is a data-only plan. Voice plans still have the 30 dollar data add-on.

(ie, they're not gonna let you get off paying way less per line by just having data on your phone and PAYGO voice)
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
Zero got it.

That is a data only plan, not the data add on for voice plans.
[G2 and Desire Z General] collins521:
Smartphone's are $30 for data with a voice plan, now I'm not sure if T-Mo gave me this deal cause I've been with them for almost 10 years but they said that since I have 3 lines with data my data is only $20 each for unlimited so I have 3 lines (2 BB's and 1 Android) for $60 a month. They said that if you have multiple lines with data it should be discounted when I called them and talked to them about it

On my last builds i only used the gmail account to login to android market and this time i setup the gmail account in my email and it stopped working shortly after. I tried to clear the contacts and i cleared evrything else but it dint work. I enter password and it takes me to the magic word screen captcha. I just keep entering newwords anditjust keeps popping up with new ones forever

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fuzzysig:
wow what a stupid program.

i was locked out. and there was nothing explaining why it wasnt working on the phone itsself.

im suspecting that google has some kind of check up to make sure you have the account linked to your phone or another email.

because i do not see any reason for this happening in the first place.

I have my Desire Z with S-OFF using ClockworkMod and I tried to use the Titanium at to remove the Bell bloatware. Uninstalling doesn't work because it's part of the system image. So I tried the force remove app with removes it from the system and says will restart the phone twice.

It goes and restarts but it stops at the ClockworkMod bootloader screen. Is there a way around this or a different way to remove the apps? Anyone else run into this problem? I don't really want to go through the whole unbranding thing...

[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
Did you do anything different?
[G2 and Desire Z General] st1n6r4y:
I just retried doing the regular uninstall instead of the force remove again and it seems to have worked. I haven't restarted my phone yet (with fastboot off) but the apps are gone from the app drawer and they didn't do that last time I tried it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stealth1985:
I have the same issue, it appears that the ClockworkMod interferes with the rebooting of Titanium Backup to delete the items. I would bet that if you do a restart the apps will be back on the phone.

Hi, I have a samsung vibrant (flashing roms and lagfix, etc. ) when my Vibrant make the bootanimation after that appear the black screen and the buttons lights up (Brick I think so.)

I'm trying to put the cellphone in downloading mode using odin (I want to put the cellphone stock) but I cannot. I'm using all of methods . (volume +/- and power) (odin 1.70) all methods !!! but not works.

I'm using Windows 7 (32 Bits) with the Samsung Galaxy USB Drivers.

I read in other forum if I try to do this method in Windows 7 I can't do it. (problem with win7 ??? I don't know)

this would be a problem with windows 7 or the phone ??

what can I do? use windows xp or what ??

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FATEOWNZYOU:
If ur phone stays black and the buttons light up.. Ur kernel is messed up.. U will need a new kernel, but ya its best to just flash back to stock... And dont hold down just the volume buttons.. Plug the cord in with the power off.. Wait for battery to load. Then hold the power and both volume keys all same time, then once the battery symbol disapears then let go of the power button.. Sometime that doesnt always work if the problem is too serious.. I have found other ways to get into dl mode when it doesnt want to.. If the first method doesnt work.. Try this.. Take ur sim, sdcard, and battery all out.. Plug the usb inti the phone while plugs into the computer.. Then while holding down the volume buttons (not the power) slide the battery in while buttons are staying held.. Should put u into dl mode...if still having problems then yes ur phone might b locked out of dl and recovery mode... But most people call it hardware locked, like the maker meant to make it locked... No its not suppose to b like that, its a defective device.. Call customer service and get a warrenty exchange and they will send u a new one for free...

Can you use ADB via a Windows CMD prompt while in recovery mode?

If you're hardware locked, you should flash the SBL fix when you can to prevent this from happening again. Flashing JI6 is reported to fix hardware locked phones as well.

Which Android Rom would you recomend for my Telstra HD2 purchased from On The Go Solutions that will work with AT&T? I currenlty have a Nexus One build without Sense on my phone, but was wondering if this newer build MCCM SE 1.6 (HTC SENSE) Android 2.2.1 would work. If not, could someone recomend a better established well functionining rom with HTC Sense that I could use? If there are any roms that would allow me root access that'd be awesome too.

This apk was taken from from Samsung Galaxy Tab by Rothnic -- it is version 0.4.04.

I have tested this on the G Tablet use CM6.1 beta 4

I tested it with the qik that is on my evo.. the video quality had a lot to be desired.. the video quality that is broadcast over the net onto the phone looked good.. the video from the phone to the tablet looked way too zoomed.. it had a lot of artifacts.. looked like a really bad bootleg cam release :)

I cant seem to find anyone else with this problem. I just washed my att samsung captivate. I let it dry out for a bit and started it up. It worked fine for quite a while then the touch screen stopped responding so i removed the battery.

When i turned it back on, it remained at the white screen with blue AT&T World phone until i removed the battery again. It continues to do this currently.

I have "reflashed" the firmware (atleast i think i have) back to its stock through the odin3 installer program. I'm not sure how important that is but the phone seems to communicate with the computer through usb.

I cannot do a hard reset kind of thing as holding the volume down and power button at the same time will not take me any further than the white w/blue text screen.

have i fried my phone? is there something i can do to get it to jump past the white and blue text screen?
