wow, i must have bad luck. my buddy's phone and mine died at the same time since the froyo update, and we dropped them off together and his has already been shipped, inspected, and labeled as "awaiting parts" whereas mine is still labeled "pending shipment to repair facility"...........and it's been a week and a half.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
they do usually wait until the bucket is full, or until their next schedule shipment day comes, before they send them off for repair.

yes, it sucks

it's like 2 weeks waiting in some back room in the store, until they actually send it in to FutureTel or whatever authorized dealer, and then it's another 2 weeks at least before they send it back, and that is assuming they have the components parts at hand, if not, it'll take even longer
[Galaxy S I9000 General] masterslacker:
Hey I got my phone back today, and it has the same "replaced PBA - BGA failure" note that you posted about here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9890519&postcount=893

Do you know what that means?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beast11:
I sent mine out on Nov 25th or something like that an im still waiting... Online it says 'Your phone is being inspected/ repaired' And its been like that the whole time... Everytime I try calling the store, no one picks up... its just stupid...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nooganator:
Update on my device today, still said that the handset was being inspected/repaired but whey spoke to them it seems like my main board had already been replaced. Apparently they are testing them for a few days after to make sure that there are no more errors when installing the os/apps. Not sure how true this, but I really want my phone back
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pr0cs:
Sent my 2nd sgs in today.

Bell would do nothing to get me a replacement device.

I suspended my service which will cost me $15. At the end of my current billing cycle I have not heard anything I will outright cancel and sell the phone when I get it back.

What a shame because I really like the concept of the SGS just that the i9000m is the 'Edsel' of the SGS family.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reeneebob:
I'm late to the party, but wanted to share.

1) I sent my SGS in for SD corruption the second week of November. Received the phone back this week, new handset. Waybill indicated it was a swap due to lack of parts.

2) I also won the Fascinate in the Like to Give. Haven't heard nada from Telus trying to force a contract. Still waiting on the phone but it should be anytime...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] masterslacker:
My understanding of the current situation is that the phones are no longer being fixed or parts replaced - They are just outright replacing the entire phone. Bell is currently offering a $100 on your account if your phone dies after Dec 24th or so.

Here's to hoping that everything is ok with your new phone :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
from what i read, this is only partially true. other members are receiving their phones back with motherboards changed, and or different shells with new motherboards.

my phone, for instance, was sent in before the "new" directive to replace all phones, and is "awaiting on parts".

as well, other members have commented that they have received the $100 credit even though their phones died before the 24th.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reeneebob:
Mine was sent in way before the directive. I got a new handset with my old backplate. It had jk4 on it and i updated to jl2 last night. I am seeing the occasional lag some have reported and the back key once in a blue moon hangs but other than that I am enjoying having my phone back. I kinda miss the Desire Z but overall I still like the SGS.

I still am waiting on the Telus Fascinate and will unlock it and will hold onto it as a backup. Better safe than sorry.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] contalyst:
For the last week, I have had no luck getting youtube widget or app to show me the recommended videos, nor can I play a video of any quality as it force closes. The only way I can get to view a view a video is by downloading it via Tube Mate.

Any thoughts on this? the biggest issue is with not being able to stream the videos, but it would be kind of nice to get the preloaded YT app/widget to work properly.

Also on the widget it constantly says "Connection problem. Touch to try again" which results in a force close. Even having the widget up creates problems.

I am not rooted or have done nothing to my phone as of yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Samdroid_G_S:
Try going into settings/applications/manage applications then select all on the top.

Find the you tube app and widget , open it up clear data/clear cache.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] contalyst:
Took a look in there but there was no cache to be cleared. Any other ideas?
[Droid 2 General] ender4212:
I flashed my DROID 2 to Fission 2.2.1 and it's amazing, but I have an issue. I have about 2.5 GB of music loaded on it and I had it divided into a few different playlists. Now those lists appear to be gone, but I can still see them on the SD card. Is there a way for me to restore them? I don't see an option to browse for a playlist within the music app on the phone. Thanks for any help on this!

edit: I did use Titanium backup prior to flashing the ROM and was able to get my apps and such back, but not the playlists. I don't know if I made a backup error or if there's another option to still get them back.
[Droid X General] BridgeScore:
Hello all you Developers out there :)

I bought a Freedom Universal Keyboard Ver 1 a number of years ago. I had a Treo 700p. I could not figure out a way to map the extra programmable keys to the menu key on the Treo. Support was not helpful.

So now I own a Droid X and got the keyboard hooked up and it is working well. BUT I would also like to be able to access the four buttons on the bottom of the DROID X, the menus that pop up and the Volume keys.

I purchased Key-Pro from mymobilegear.com to interface with the keyboard. They have a bunch of programable keys in their settings. I have tried several combinations but no luck there so far. I can get a few apps to come up like gmail, phone and calculator just by fooling around with typing different combinations of keys.

Does anyone know the combination of keys to control these Droid x buttons?

????? \xxx , "CTRL", "ALT" "SHIFT" + any other keys or ascii code or whatever??

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXodd:
I havent seen other threads concerning problems similar to mine so sorry if there was one...

I'm from Canada and i had flashed my X10 to the Nordic 2.1 firmware. Now i went back to 1.6 using the older NonGui-version found in Bin4ry's thread as the gui version couldn't detect my X10.

If i remember right as it's been 2 or 3 hours since i dowloaded it, i used this firmware file found in the decrytped Rom sticky thread:

WWE_R1FA014

I also followed the steps from a video on youtube, add this to the adress bar (since i cant seem to post links):

/user/BluechipJ#p/u/4/T5o5SaL-Gno

Now my X10 is back on 1.6 and 3G works (haven't checked anything else) and i saw the Rogers logo when i started the phone. Problem is, SEUS says there's no new update and i can't update OTA as i get a "Network error". I checked in my settings and it says "Model Number unknown"... I'm guessing this is what's causing my problem as i think it should show X10a.

Would anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: I can watch videos through the Youtube app, but the Browser, Timescape and Mediascape keeps forceclosing for some reason.

[Captivate General] A.VOID:
I just got this external SD card installed, but I can't figure out how to move media files off my internal onto my external within the phone (Astro).

I saw the external SD folder under the SD card, but I couldn't move files to it within the phone. I ultimately plugged in Mass Storage and I saw two different external drives and I moved it that way. That took a long time to move 7 gbs.

Any other way to do it?
[Captivate General] justmde:
Use my files that is right there in apps built in long press on the file or folder you want. There are other apps on the market that work but that is there.

Astro doesn't allow me to move them from internal to external either. Never has. I just use root explorer or file manager. I assume its something to do with permissions but I never cared enough to look into it.

I recently flashed vaelek latest rom and so far im loving it until one last feature. The wireless tether isn't working. This isn't only on this rom, its not working on others i flashed like avas10, but oddly enough it works on myns4. Is there any way to fix this?

The problem is that my computer picks up the connection but then it shows that dreadful yellow triangle and doesnt load a page. As of right now im using pdanet, and that works perfect but why not wireless tether?

I have heard people having similar problems lately, and i tried many things, like changing the channel freq to channel 1, as well as trying the latest wireless tether ( 2.0.5-pre 14) and still nothing. Anyone know how i can fix this problem? any help will be greatly appreciated.

My question is, if you root the captive and put on custom roms and kernels... can you have the sense ui and eliminate samsungs software?

thx
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
Technically yes, right now no. There are no custom ROMs that have sense. Just go to Bell and get Desire Z or Telus for Desire.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
There is no bell in Winnipeg..... and telus here is still cdma like mts....

well, even if it is not the sense ui... does it removes samsungs attempt at software?

thx
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
Oh tough luck mate.

There are custom ROMs that have gotten rid of touchwiz launcher/touchwiz widgets. However, the nifty features like the power controls in the notification bar or swipe to call/text still remain. Does that answer your question? You can easily get rid of touchwiz yourself by using root-friendly apps like Titanium backup and uninstall touchwiz.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
nice, thanks for the info....

I love my desire hd, I just want something I can still play with (root, roms, kernels) but still have 3g... until dhd launches here... if ever.

[G Tablet General] cahiatt:
I have a G-Tab behaving oddly.... The unit will not enter a recovery mode under any circumstance. I can push images all day long via APX and boot immediately after restore. The problem is when the unit powers back down it automatically enters APX mode and will not reboot. The only way to reboot is to push another image via APX and boot it again.

Anyone have a full factory image I can push to see if it fixes whatever is borked on this thing?
[G Tablet General] cahiatt:
I do need to add that I have some CWM recoveries I pulled off but without being able to boot Clockwork Mod I can't use them that way. Anyone know how to push some Clockwork Mod recovery images manually via APX in the proper format?
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Grab the nvflash version of tnt 2.02 from development install nvidia sdk, use the syntax listed in rebeets thread.

When you reboot make sure the tablet. Is plugged in and hold down volume down and press power this puts the tab in apx mode so you can use nvflash

[G Tablet General] cahiatt:
I was doing that and it was restoring fine. It would even boot normally the first time. If I shut it down or tried to reboot it would not come back on and go into APX automatically.

I just got it restored though. I did another restore. With it back on I pushed the bootloader and recovery via ADB the forced to reboot the recovery via ADB. Am back up and running now.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Sweet :D

Glad to hear it;)
[G Tablet General] 6855:
Hi, I just got my g tab and did the same thing you did and now it is going into APX automatically at boot up. Was wondering if you could help me out on how to use ADB to push the bootloader and recovery and force it to reboot the recovery.

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Thanks to Roebeet I got it out of APX. flashed using his nvflash_gtablet_46 from dropbox and then updated with the stock 3588-update that usually comes up at the top right (after bootup is complete and shows the home screen).

I am using the quamtum rom version 1.5 and it has been rock solid. It performs quite well for me.

Make sure to follow the directions in the posts very carefully. Also keep in mind that you are voiding your warranty and putting yourself in a position of not being able to get support from Samsung or Sprint.

That said if you can read and follow directions you can recover your phone from almost any problem you might encounter and get back to the released Sprint build and recover all of your data. The secret is to not panic. Back up your data before you start.

You also can't guarantee that you won't run into issues with the apps that you depend on. I am using several corporate apps that were designed for earlier editions and all of them run just fine. Depends on what apps you use and how good the developers of the apps were.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:
Okay, I am getting ready to root my phone tonight...

As far as all that - I think I got all that covered.

As far as flashing a recovery - I want to use amon-ra's - RA-evo-v1.8.0 found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

In that post it gives two differant ways to flash the recovery:

via fastboot

Code:

Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.

Boot your phone into fastboot mode

fastboot devices(press enter) (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)

via terminal app or adb => Make sure your rom contains flash_image!!

Code:

Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to the root of your sdcard

start the terminal app or launch adb

su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter)

My questions are:

first of all - what is "Fastboot"?? I mean is it an application that I can download and install it this way?

second of all - what is a "terminal app"

&

third - what is "adb"?

I keep hearing the term "shell", is a "shell" the same as windows command prompt? Or is that "adb"?

I know these are probably stupid questions for most, but I like to have every thing ready to go before I tackle projects...

Any guidance would be greatly appriciated!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrel_b:
Another option is to install ROM manager and install AmonRa that way. (think you have to pay) Open it and click on Flash Alternate Recovery.

Terminal app is just an application providing terminal-like access to the system. Imagine the command prompt on a Windows system, but understand your phone is running Linux underneath the hood so the commands are different.

adb likely is an acronym for something along the lines of debugger or something. It essentially allows you to communicate with your phone from your computer. So, go to a command prompt and you can enter commands to execute on your phone via adb. (shell = command prompt, adb runs within the shell/command prompt)

You're right in trying to find out as much as possible before tackling something like this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayStation3:

How are you going to root? if you are going to use unrevoked (doesn't work with hboot2.02) just open unrevoked without the phone connected and then point it to the amon-ra recovery.img you downloaded, up at the top its under file dropdown or somewhere up there then unrevoked will flash ra for you automatically
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roscoenr:
fastboot is an option under HBOOT(power of your phone power on pressing power and volume down it is the first option)

terminal app is an app that is like the command prompt in windows on your phone a good one is terminal emulator

adb is is Android debug bridge like stated above. it is for people that like to use the cmd(command prompt) on your computer to do things with your phone like pulling apps off your phone, pushing them on your phone, and other like this most of this can be done using root explorer to place the flies or making a flashable zip. another thing adb is used for is getting your phone out of boot loops that you cant any other way. never had to do this so dont know how. i think adb and adb shell are basically the same thing not 100 on that one. here are some likes about adb for you

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

http://www.gadgetsdna.com/android-terminal-adb-shell-command-list/1168/

as for using terrel_b's suggestion this is a good suggestion. using rom manager you can flash your recovery this way it is very easy way to do this it is free there is a paid version of rom manager it is for using extra things on clockwork recovery, so basically the only thing you will use rom manager for, if you decide to use it, is flashinf your recovery unless you use clockwork. the reason clockwork is not used more is that there are questions if it wipes everything properly and if something is not wiped right it can cause lots of problems. of and just in case you are wonndering rom manager is an app you can get off the market.

hope this helps and if you need anything else ask
