I've seen the same thing happen occasionally, though I'd always just put it down to there not being a strong enough signal for the phone to receive the call - If you're travelling, it's possible you're just not getting as good cell reception than you do back at home (or whatever network you're roaming on to isn't doing a good job at redirecting calls to your phone)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
I wanna start by saying that I have been searching and I can't find a similar post...forgive me if I was simply unsuccessful :/

So here's what happened.

Me - "Hey! I've got a rooted phone, but no custom ROM? I think I'll download one!"

I performed a Nandroid backup.

Flashed Macnut 14.

"Awesome, it works. Now I'm gonna restore my data."

I tried doing an advanced Nandroid restore, but it hung at "dalvik-cache".

I then tried doing a full Nandroid retore, but it still hung at "dalvik-cahe".

I then flashed Stock JK6 and repeated steps 5 and 6 with the same results.

I then downloaded and compiled unyaffs in order to get files out of the Nandroid .img files.

I tried "adb install" for apps and "adb push" for both data and apps. I've been getting error messages for both approaches (not syntax errors, but things like "permission denied," "not enough space," etc.), both while the phone is booted and when it's in recovery.

I've also tried moving the files to my SD card and then using "adb shell" to move them to their appropriate folders, but that didn't work either.

Besides these errors, I also had a very hard time figuring out where to put certain things.

So that's what happened...you guys are my final hope. I'm trying to figure out a foolproof way to restore (in order of priority):

Application data (settings, high scores in games, etc.).

Applications themselves (.apk files, preferably not overwriting newer versions of things like GMail, Youtube, etc. included in Stock JK6).

Text messages.

Phone settings.

I've learned my lesson...next time, I should use Titanium Backup.

Thanks,

Gerard
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silow:
Personally I would:

1. ODIN to JK6

2. Root and use the modified 3e recovery

3. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash CWM Recovery

4. Then attempt to Nandroid restore

If you're not comfortable with the above Step 2 you can:

1. ODIN to JFD and root

2. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash CWM Recovery

3. CWM Flash JK6

4. Attempt to Nandroid restore
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You went from eclair to froyo and when you restored your backup, CWR does not restore the kernel.

Try flashing the stock 2.1 kernel and then restoring your backup.

And yes, titanium backup & SMS Backup+ are your friends.

hmm... re-read... it's odd that a restore started and didnt finish. Most people get hung at the vibrant screen when they do not restore the kernel.

Sounds like you nandroid is corrupt, and if that is the case I'm afraid that I do not know the answer you seek.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
Yeah, I don't think that a Nandroid backup is gonna do the job...I just tried again after ODIN.

Any other ideas? :(

EDIT: I was finally able to push all my applications back...However, I'm having trouble pushing the contents of "data/data/" and "datadata/". I keep getting errors like:

How can I evade this error? :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
You have to flash a kernel as well cause nandroid won't replace that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
Are you trying to adb from linux or windows? If you are on linux try this:

1) sudo adb kill-server

2) sudo adb devices

3) now push your apps

Also I found out the hard way, do not restore apps or system data from nandroid backup, I always had a corrupted system with a lot of force closes. Always use Titanium Backup and SMS Backup.

Hope this helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
I'm actually on a Mac. I tried your method but I still got the same results...is Mac close enough to Linux (since it's Unix), or do you think I should attempt it on Linux as well?

I don't mean to sound like a douche...but isn't that what s15274n was saying?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
ya try it on linux, Mac is BSD based but I'm not sure how permissions are set. BSD is close to linux but there are some major diff and some commands are diff.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
So far, for me Nandroid on the Vibrant has been completely useless. I don't even bother any more.

I use Titanium to back up my apps and my SMS messages, and it only takes a couple minutes to re-do the settings once I install a new ROM.

This is way different than my experience with the G1, where I could easily restore a Nandroid backup if I didn't like a new ROM install. On the Vibrant it's easier to just Odin back to a stock ROM and redo all my settings using TB.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1589139:
Yeah...tried this too after downloading and setting up everything on my Linux box (java, Android SDK, etc.). Same error as I got on my Mac :(

I think I'll take like one more suggestion from the community before I finally give up and start my phone from scratch...It's been like 3 days since I lost all my data, ugh.

Un-installed the Facebook application earlier and reinstalled it on restart in order to remove my duplicated friends on Facebook.

Once I restarted, I noticed a blank quick-link on the home-screen. I then tried to replace this empty quick-link with a shortcut to an application, but to no avail. I have tried dragging other quick-links into this space, but that shortcut just disappears. I can place shortcuts into every other quick-link space except this one.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Any help would be much appreciated

you can clear it via the registry....

give me a few minutes to look up the values.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
okay, you need

HKLM - software - htc - home

sorta misread your post but this may still work....

there are loads of numbered entries, one of them is the link you want to clear, its probably still hanging onto some facebook related info, find it and delete the info relating to face book.

check its not set to read only.....

hope that helps.....

[General Questions and Answers] Rob014:
Hi,

i have been trying to install voodo lagfix on my galaxy s, it is running froyo. I have followed the instructions on the voodoo website to install stable 5.0 for froyo, i don't understand what odin is, (and the website says this is only for people who know what they're doing) so i downloaded the second of the 2 available for froyo. I then changed the name of the zip folder to update, and put this inside a folder called sd card on the root of the internal sd. When i do the 3 button reset i load the file but i get an error saying ths:

E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip No such file or directory E:signature verification failed Installation aborted voodoo

Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if this questions been here before.

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] carmatic:
odin is a tool used to flash the phone with - you use it with the phone in Download Mode (turn on the phone while holding volume down + home key) and you follow the instructions that come with the custom roms/kernel patches/etc to load the correct files with it

you put update.zip in the root of the internal sd card, not in the 'sd card' folder (which is the external sd card)
[General Questions and Answers] Rob014:
Thanks for the reply,

I have just tried putting the update.zip file in the root of the internal sd card but still get an error when doing the reboot.

I have just read elsewhere that it is impossible to install the lagfix on froyo without rooting it, (could someone confirm this?) It does say on the voodoo website that you don't need to flash, although this might only apply to earlier versions.

Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] Rob014:
Update:

Just read that it can't be done the update.zip method on froyo because of something to do with 3e, so just did it with odin in the end, was a simple painless process.

One more question though, I ran a quadrant test and got about 1400. Does this seem about right?

Cheers.

Hi there! I have same android froyo as you, Just open Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync. You should find his account there under [Manage accounts]

after that go ahead and setup your own account.

Today i recieved my earphones which i ordered from Samsung and i noticed that when i press the button they go a lotva lot louder than the maximum volume.

Is there any solution to this problem

They go a lot louder and clearer when i press and hold the button that normally let you awnser a phonecall when you have the earphones plugged in.

It's worser when i use the fm-radio but this effect also applies on mp3's

Sorry if i wasn't clear enough, i hope someone knows what to do about this.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mihovcom:
I have the same headphones and I wanted to use them with several other phones I bought since my Samsung Galaxy. Roddie1154's answer helped me find a solution: the jack was plugged too deep - I pulled it out for 1 mm and the sound is good also without pressing the button. Now the button works as pause button and it still works with modern phones.

I know many years have passed since original post, but the thread helped me, so I give my solution to the world!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Nirdh:
That's caused by inversion of polarity!

I've myself faced this issue very often, and spent a lot of time visiting numerous shops and trying out various earphones; I finally found a couple of compatible ones - one from Nokia, and other from Micromax (EPA065) .

Earphones with mic use TRRS connector, and there are two variants (standards) - OMTP (older) and CTIA (newer). I am guessing that Galaxy S needs earphones that follow the OMTP standard, and thus most of the newer earphones are not compatible. I've observed that most of the earphones that have black rings on the jack (instead of white or gray) work better.
