I'm new to this, but I learned you can check your IMEI by dialing *#06#

maybe that's a start to troubleshoot your problem ???

I've flashed JPA to my phone a few days ago and rooted.

Some problems :

- proximty sensor works for short calls, but afther a long call, my phone locks itself, and so I don't get to see the normal dial-screen where you can hang up

- gps isn't any better than in the original firmware

- phone gets slughish sometimes... I noticed that "android system" is taking all of the cpu at that moment, but I don't know why...

after a while, it returns to normal behavior

- biggest problem : battery drains really fast. In Eclair I could manage 24hours (rather heavy use of wifi, playing games, etc), now the battery doesn't last a day :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Its more likely a baseband problem, you could try to flash a tar archive containing only modem.bin from your original firmware if you manage to find it, but it is possibly not 2.2 compatible at all. Then you'd have to stay on 2.1 until you get hold if a i5800L froyo rom.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] m1se:
Hi everybody, I just registered today to share my experiences. I've got an European i5800 since August. There seems to be a lot of smart people and Android knowledge on this forum, and I'm looking forward to see some custom ROMs! :p

I flashed from original 2.1 to Froyo JP8 at first (without resetting the phone :o). It was quite unstable and had many glitches, as most of you probably know. I couldn't even receive any calls. Then I moved to JPA with hard reset before and after the flashing process. It went smooth and the firmware's working great! Only a couple of minor bugs, like Contacts not closing with the back button and proximity sensor sometimes messed up. JPA is very fast and responsive, too.

Some people are having trouble with poor battery life? That's strange. Mine lasts about 48 hours with quite heavy use, gaming, Wi-Fi on etc. On regular use like making calls and short internet sessions on 3G my battery lasts up to 3 days.

If your battery is draining very fast, you should check if it's the Gallery app's fault. With Froyo firmwares my gallery app sometimes hangs and uses like 50% of the power! I have to reboot my phone after that, task killers won't somehow stop the gallery. :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ed_vollegas:
I think even if I don't touch my phone, it wouldn't last 3 days :confused:

but I can't test that, too much fun to play with to leave it 3 days :D

by the way : if I go to "contacts", the app disappears when I Hit the back-button !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] JackStow:
with jpa.,my battery lasts 4 days, with normal use, some calls, some internet with wi fi, some games.. my last recharge was friday, and today its showing 15% left ;D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ed_vollegas:
good for you...

maybe I should do a factory reset and try a few days without any user app ?

just mail (if there is wifi), call en texts....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] grferreira:
Solution !

Hi everybody...

I would like to inform you that I found the problem to lack of signal from the carrier. When I did the firmware update, I lost the unlock code for my SIM card. After testing some other carriers, got an unlock code and the phone is working again. Thank you all.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ed_vollegas:
I disconnected my phone from the charger 25hours ago.

Because we all see that the screen is taking the majority of the battery, I tried to use it not too much.

Now, battery is at 15%, screen has been active for 1u25minutes and it took 59% of the battery.

Since this is the first smartphone I ever had, I can't really say if this is normal or not...

downside for me is that I normally play some games during a day, which requieres a screen off course :p

but, i know now that it is possible for the battery to last more than a day.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] thulden:
1 day and 22 hrs since last charge, 60 % remaining ;) with pretty light use (about 1-2 hrs of email and games and 30 min phone calls). The phone keeps claiming that the gallery has eaten most of the battery, but I think it's a bug of some sorts.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
For those of you that want to have the benefits of JPA - the long battery life - and also a working ambient light sensor (so your screen turns on after you move the phone away from your face on a call), then read this:

Did you find the solution?
[General Topics] Bodmister:
Hi,

A couple of questions :)

1: is there a way to set it so in forums it goes straight to my phone section rather then seeing every phone and having to scroll through?

2: possible to have older posts at the top? I end up reading the answer before the question lol

Thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] florentls:
Hello,

I need to get the status of the Audio DMA buffer on my Nexus One.

I try to use the following command of the libaudio API :

AUDIO_GET_STATS.

I add this in libaudio (hardware/msm7k/libaudio-qsd8k/

AudioHardware.cpp) :

struct msm_audio_stats stats;

status = ioctl(mFd, AUDIO_GET_STATS, &stats);

if (status < 0) {

LOGE("Cannot read pcm_out stats");

goto Error;

}

LOGD("LVVIL: output stats: byte_count: %d, sample_count: %d ",

stats.byte_count, stats.sample_count);

When I have a look to the log, I get all the time 0.

Do I use the right command, and if yes do I use it on the right way?

If this is not the right one, do we have access to another one which

could return me the DMA buffer level?

Any idea at least to find a workaround?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Florent.

Hey all,

Just checked the Samsung app store and found NFS!

Plays awesome.

Btw I am in australia
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] xoltrix2000:
Man this sucks! How come I never get to see ANY apps in the Samsung Apps!?!?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] SolusCado:
OK; I keep seeing references to the Samsung App Store, but there isn't such an app on my T-Mobile Tab... Does anyone have an APK for it? Is that all that is necessary to install it?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] xoltrix2000:
Samsung App is the dumbest way of distributing apps not only because it doesn't work properly (especially if you flash different firmware) but because it's regionally controlled by negligent and lazy phone providers. Why can't we have equality? !?!?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
Agreed...... NFS not showing on the UK Tab and Asphalt 5 HD is the wrong version for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Also not seeing NFS on the Tab, but th ev Asphalt 5 version runs flawlessly for me.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
Asphalt HD works, but it is an enormous app (100MB+) so I have excluded it from my Titanium Backups.

NFS Shift isn't available in Samsung Apps (UK). I guess one way to make appear is to change the Product Code via the IMEI service mode...yuk !

Reminder of a simpler (but limited in scope) technique:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9543250&postcount=7
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Soooo? apk? Please?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
That is so weird in that Asphalt 5 runs flawlessly for you.

I've tried Asphalt 5 downloaded from the Samsung App Store and on my UK non-carrier Tab it does not fill the screen but instead runs in the top left side of the Tab and non of the buttons correlate to where you press. As such it is totally unplayable.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] shmigao:
Yep its odd. I had to download the galaxy tab specific version from gameloft website (asphalt 5)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
Was that a Demo? as I can't seem to locate a demo file at Gameloft for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Not so sure about this NFS thing anymore. AndroidGuys (or another Android blog) have quoted EA saying NFS will be public to Android users late December. Is the game you got from Samsung Apps a demo or full game?

http://www.talkandroid.com/23075-eas-need-for-speed-headed-to-android-by-the-end-of-the-year/
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] shmigao:
No, purchased.when doing the purchase gameloft site asks for device type
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Youre talking aboit Asphalt...

However, mine from Samsung Apps was free and not a demo.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
May I ask, what ROM version are you on?

Trying to understand why we are both on the UK Samsung Apps with your download fine but my download is a corrupt screen.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Ashvsaod:
What do you mean youre not sure? What do I have to gain from lying?

Anyway. Looks like the full game. I have finished chicago, onto london now.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] risq:
I've got NFS Shift on my UK tab and it is mint! Best racing game on the Tab! Make's Asphalt 5 look worse than it actually is! (Which is hard!)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Did an upgrade to stock JK5 about 2 weeks ago and left it at that.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
I didnt mean to imply that I thought yiu were lying, I didnt understand what the hell is up with Samsung Apps these days and why theyre releasing different apps.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
I finally found out why the Asphalt 5 from the Samsung store would not work on my UK Tab...... I had another look at the information that was showing for the download and noticed Samsung had changed the update date to the 29th Nov 2010. The one I had previously installed and which would not work correctly was an earlier Nov release.

Downloaded again, installed and this time it works fine.

At last, now I can let me granddaughter play (she loves her cars). :)
[Epic 4G General] superbraut:
So i upgraded my phone with the leaked froyo update.zip and everything went well except for the gps. So i followed the how to "unbrick/bring back to stock" thread so i could downgrade my phone to the di18 firmware. I used odin, the s1_odin20100512.pit and the d700.zimage.stock file. I did not want to wipe out everything, i just wanted to downgrade the kernal back to stock.

When i tried flashing on odin, it failed. now when i try turning on my i get the phone icon with the exclamation mark in the triangle. I wanted to call my girlfriend after flashing my phone but now i cant :(. Please help me save my phone!

EDIT: Okay not bricked, but it wont load up android

[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Put the phone in download mode again and run odin again.
[Epic 4G General] superbraut:
Thanks for the tip!
[Epic 4G General] sleepy8594:
Your gonna want to flash the di18.tar in "pda" with odin and only reboot checked, no pit needed. That gets the di18 firmware back, and the only way.. kernel has nothing to do with it..
[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
I am about to do this too.. and dont want to wipe the data only get back to di18 to get the gps working.. so in that case:

1. I dont need pit file at all

2. which .tar to choose? not the255 mb file?
[Epic 4G General] Dvin211:
Mine failed the first time to. I followed the directions from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032

I tried it a second time but used the victory pit that came with odin 1.61 and it worked. I think in the instructions their using an older version of odin.

I'm not in anyway an expert and you may not even need to use a pit like another poster said. It worked for me though. When I got done the phone rebooted and it showed it having the eclair d07 build from there it updated itself to dI18.
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
I believe you still need the pit file. If you are going back to stock DI18, than use this:

Stock Files

The one you were trying to use was the kernel I believe.

Here is the pit file you need:

pit file

I have flashed back to stock about 14 times and I have used these two files successfully every time.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
yeah ive done it te same wasy that swanysto has done it also a lot. it always works for me to. i know some sa you don't need the pit unless just doing a kernel but i always use it. just my 2 cents

pull the SD card out before you go into download mode (not just pull it out, make sure to push down and let it pop up to remove it).

Hello guys.

My x10i has got a faulty motherboard and is now being repaired. The motherboard is being replaced with a new one. Now my question is that whether the handset will behave normally?

Is the in ear speaker will be also replacaed or not. Is it attached with the motherboard or not.

Wat are the precautions shd i take care of before taking the handset from the service centre?

Thanks guys.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinny9:
Hey guys. I got my x10 back today. Its motherboard has been replaced.

Now the problem im facing is that the hardware buttons except the power button stop working after 3-4 mins.

They work alright after every restart for 3-4 mins. Pls tell me wats going on.

Im trying to re update the software but its not working.

Thanks guys.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
Sounds to me you can go back to the repair centre...there is no setting in your phone which controls it after a clean flash, so something is wrongly programmed I assume...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visspui:
Do you have a case on your phone? I bought a stupid cheap one, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why my bottom buttons weren't working....Did a factory reset and everything..Even though the case didn't cover the buttons, still messed them up

Took the cover off, no problems.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artificial__:
Why have you replaced your motherboard? What kind of problems did you had(i just want to know; maybe it can help me )
[Desire HD General] jexwang:
As the title said, is there?

Cause my DHD performs okay in call, it just that when im just using it normally it sometimes do this weird random clicking on the screen everywhere and lead to my phone unusable until i push power button and unlock again. I just discover that the culprit is the proximity sensor, so i covered it with black electrical tape and for full day i didnt encounter that weird bug again. Ive try to flash to custom roms and to such no luck its still there...
[Desire HD General] Restorer:
Your phone is faulty. Why don't you just get it replaced :confused:.
[Desire HD General] jexwang:
Just remove the tape and i tried blowing at the proximity sensor, and i think it works. My guess is that the hole in the ear piece is big enough that some dust got in and block the sensor. Im still trying it now and so far so good.
[Desire HD Accessories] v6kgang:
Guys,

Today got a chance to test the Headphones supplied with the DHD.

I have a weird problem...

The Forward button the remote rewinds the song and vice versa.

was a bit confused that i might be wrong....after repeated testing founf that the forward button rewinds and rewind button forwards the song.:p

Not a real problem though, can live with it...but want to know, if any one else is facing the same issue :eek:
[Desire HD Accessories] olivierlee:
Just tried mine for the first time. No such problems. Are you reading the buttons correctly?
[Desire HD Accessories] v6kgang:
YEs...am pretty sure...when the Head phones are in my ear...

the button which shows upwards is suppose to forward the song...and the button facing downwards is supposed to rewind the song. - this is the Normal Behaviour.

Mine is just doing the reverse...May be wrong wiring
[Desire HD Accessories] mohit1234:
theres no problem

thts the way it is..

the one upwards is supposed to rewind

the one going downwards is supposed to forward

when u hold it horizontally then u can make out properly... :)
[Desire HD Accessories] v6kgang:
@Mohit - it doesn't make any sense to me...when kept horizontal the button which points right needs to Forward and not rewind.

am pretty sure there is aLogical mistake here....
[Desire HD Accessories] mohit1234:
keep them the other way horizontal

wen they r horizontal u will see the phone icon b4 the play/pause icon (middle button)

u r holding it the wrong way

then if u look at it the proper way, then upwards is supposed to rewind and downwards is forwards...

trust me, theres no problem...ur just looking from a different viewpoint...
[Desire HD Accessories] v6kgang:
Thanks Mohit, appreciate it man...

Got used to it now...So No problems...:-)

[G Tablet Android Development] zetaaq:
So I was playing around on CM 6.1b4 with a USB keyboard over my lunch break. I had called Viewsonic regarding HID devices previously - they said they'd been playing around with a cheap USB keyboard in their lab and had gotten it to work out of the box.

On my test, the keyboard (a stock dell USB keyboard) was detected and able to input keys into open text entry boxes. Problem I ran into was that the 'e' key opened email, 'b' opened the browser, 'l' opened the calendar, and so on. Have to look into whether these can be turned off when a USB keyboard is present.

Viewsonic said they weren't too enthusiastic about a USB mouse as there were no pointing device drivers. Not sure if someone folded something into CM 6.1... more as RC gets picked up for these devices, I guess.
