I'm having the same problem, the data connection works fine but there're times when it says it's connected but it can't download or upload anything, the only way to fix this is by turning off and on the phone and then the data connection works again. Not even the ON/OFF switch for data in settings fix the problem.

I also have problems with the signal in general, sometimes it loses connection to my service provider and after some seconds it finds the service again, maybe a problem with the radio?

Samsung Focus: No memory card installed, using it in Venezuela (Movistar), 3G/E data service.

I already reported this issue to the WP Support Forums, I think they're investigating the problem because I haven't had any feedback since the last time more than a week ago, here it is:

[Focus General] nakadm:
Same issue

I am on Fido/Rogers in Canada and get the same problem from time to time, no SD card installed.

In my case, it happens after I lose signal for a while, like garage or no signal area...When I get a signal back, the data portion just won't connect, even though I can make and receive calls and my phone displays 3G.

Reboot takes care of it.
[Focus General] bennyj71:
Just found this thread. I've been having this issue for the past two days. Have never installed an SD card in my Focus. I tried the HSUPA hack a few days ago. I thought that was the cause. So I asked for help to undo the hack.
[Focus General] 'Tron:
I've only had my Focus for a couple of days.

I was experiencing a lost of data connection eariler today. I think it's to do with your location/network provider.

On my X1, I use to turn flight mode on and off to fix the problem - forcing the phone to reconnect.

Sometimes the signal is GPRS and other times 3G.
[Focus General] Syst3m:
How many of you experiencing this are using the Facebook app? I was having the problem today (it started this morning) and after uninstalling the FB app (where i was noticing the problem most) and a soft reset, I'm not seeming to have the problem.
[Focus General] Syst3m:
So now that I think about it, when i wasn't receiving data, the phone showed full signal, even though in my office i usually get 2 bars. After the uninstall and soft reset, im now showing the 2 bars. No idea if it was causing this, but seems a strange thing to have happen.
[Focus General] bnlf:
i do have the same problem. deactvating data connection and activating again doesnt work. You dont need to restore phone to make it work again, just go to settings -> cellular -> network selection ... remove automatic and wait till it finishes searching..select you operator or automatic again it should reset your connection settings and 3g/edge should work again.

mine is an unlocked AT&T might be a problem with the unlocking mecanism if you guys also using unlocked phones.

not sure how to solve it yet.
[Focus General] bennyj71:
Never used Facebook App. Did notice when it happened today, that after I close IE I had 7 yahoo emails. I'm wondering if the limited multi-tasking carries over to data. When the phone is syncing, maybe it shuts other connections down.

1) If I use permroot with visionary, will I be able to make ota update ?

2) If I flash a fresh RUU (I think it is a rom like the JM5 / JPA etc... for galaxy S/vibrant) did it remove permroot or do I have a solution to remove in case I have to sell the phone later etc ???

3) My phone is from vodaphone, with the tool superCID+Radio S-off+simunlock (from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537) can I flash an original RUU without carrier specific application ?

4) If for some reason I cannot get OTA update, can I just grabe the last RUU from xda to do the update (with a rooted/radio s-off phone of course) ?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cap K:
Hello!

I recently (2 days ago) bought a Samsung Galaxy. It was second hand from a guy who bought it via Amazon.de (Germany here) in August.

The systeminformations tell me the OS atm is at version 2.1 but I want to update it to 2.2

Now the Problem: Kies doesn't let me do that :/

Here are some facts a friend of mine and me found out:

When trying to uodate via Kies it displays

which, roughly translated, means

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB is noted as GT-I9000HKDDBT

when "calling" *#1234# the following infos come up:

PDA : I9000XXJM1

PHONE : I9000XXJM1

CSC : I9000OXAJM1

any idea what to do next? :/ my friend suspects that the phone is from UK and this is what could be the problem

any help would appreciated, thanks!

have you guys tried the kies reg hack?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835628

me and a buddy were messing around with it today, if you dont want to get a "non" official rom we went into the registry after we hit write in the hack and deleted the following key.

HKEY_current_user\software\Samsung\FUS\KiesServer this will DELETE the server where custom roms are housed (custom being beta samsung roms) and I think point your kies to the legit KIES server.

Basically it tells kies that your phone is an older version and will tell you an update is available. If it says JM1 is the one available then your phone is up to date.

Make sure you enable spoof to False and hit write after, this will put your registry back to how it was before the hack.

Extracting is ok, even get to the part where you can choose the items to be installed. when click "next" it starts to install for a few secs, then stops.

error is something about installation failed, installation ended prematurely.

Using your computer and usb cable, remove the battery from the phone. Plug the pc side of the cable into your pc. Put the battery back in the phone. Hold the volume up and volume down buttons. While holding the buttons, plug in the phone side of the usb cable and continue holding. You should be in download mode within a few moments. View my clip for a how-to video session on this...

Reply if this worked. It SHOULD work as you have soft bricked and this is a way of entering download mode during a soft brick of the phone.

Did you try the volume button method with plugging in the USB cable into the phone while it's plugged into the computer? It sounds like you are just doing the volume buttons plus power button method. The JiG is for HARD bricks which doesn't sound like it's what you have. Although it will work for SOFT bricks also.

how long did you hold the buttons up and down after you connected the cable? iv held it for 2 mins and nothing!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goob1284:
Ugh. This is the way to do the button combo:

Step 1 remove the battery, open odin3 the one click jh6.

Step 2 plug in the usb and hold the volume up, volume down, and power.buttons.

Step 3 put in the battery and release the power button but keep holding the volume up/down buttons.

Step 4 press download. This puts the phone in download mode. I found this method when I had a soft brick. Umyou don't need a jig since you can still boot to the white screen. This will work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOLiu:
I will try this method, as I am in the same boat as the others here. I have already placed my order for the USB Jig but am hoping that this method will work.

However, under step 4, you indicate that you "press download." What do you mean by this? Where is the "download" button? On odin3, the only buttons I saw were start and master clear. Is the download button an option on the Captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
To my knowledge, there is no "Download" button on ODIN or a Captivate in a semi-bricked state.

Edit:

If those directions don't work, you might also try a method I've had success with.

1. Remove battery, SIM card, and MicroSD (if you have one) from the phone

2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the phone having no power source

3. Hold Vol Up/Down, don't let go

4. Insert battery

5. If it worked, in a few seconds you should see Download Mode

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
Why doesn't anyone use adb to get into download? The only time you HAVE use the 3 button is if you get phone!Pc screen. If your phone can get to the att screen, open command prompt, change directory to adb tools location, and type adb reboot download. Do all this before you hook your phone up to the computer. When you're ready connect phone to pc, turn it on, right after you see the att splash screen and hear that your phone is connected press enter.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Missed on part of that method which is important:

The first method - It will take a few tries to get the timing just right so be patient:

* Unplug your Device

* Pull out the SIM, External SD Card, and Battery

* Plug in the mini-USB Cable back into your phone.

* While holding down BOTH Up/Down Volume Buttons re-insert the battery.

If you get the "grey battery charging" screen. Then you will need to try and re-attempt it as it didn't work. You should get the download screen and be ready to go back to stock.

Also - I guess I should add that you already have ODIN up and running on your computer while doing this...

I'm totally bricked after a failed CWM restore and need to get ODIN working.

I've been fighting this bugger for two days and have not been able to get any 1/2/3-button, reboot, battery pull, heel-clicking combo to work.

And my damned radio shack just closed for good last week, so no jig -- not this week anyhow.

Finally plugged in my wife's WORKING Captivate, powered off, pressed & held up/down, plugged USB and she went straight into download mode and was visible to ODIN. Shut hers down, restarted ODIN, plugged mine in and the simple press & hold up/down, then plugged USB... and mine WORKED! Right into Download mode.

Obviously, I can't reproduce (until mine bricks again), but out of everything I've tried, something about this exercise worked.

Hopefully someone who knows far more than me can explain why this might have helped.

ETA UPDATE: Just to take one for the team, I tried to restore the same CWM backup, bricked my phone and tried dozens of times to get into download mode. No dice.

Then I went through the steps with my wife's phone, just like above, and then my download button sequence worked.

So it is reproducible -- at least on my system.

Yeah -- not everyone has a second, functional, Captivate handy, I know. But I still want to know what may have caused this sequence to work... twice.:confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
One of the things which allows humans to perceive objects in 3D is depth of field. When you focus on a close-up object, objects in the background become out of focus. This lets your mind know the object up close is up close. You also cannot focus near and far at the same time.

So, when you put a clearly focused wallpaper behind clearly focused icons, the mind perceives the surface as flat. However, if you were to soften the focus of the wallpaper, the mind would perceive that the icons are actually closer to you or seem to "float" above the background.

EASY WAY TO TRY IT:

Just download Photoshop Express (it's free) to your phone and open your favorite wallpaper in it. (Note: you must go to settings and tell it to look in areas other than just your photo folder if you keep your wallpapers stored elsewhere).

Ok, once your wallpaper is open, go to Menu > Edit Photo. You will then see some icons appear at the top. Tap on the 3rd one from the left and then click on "Soft Focus". To soften the focus, you simply drag your finger left to right over the image. The max you can do at any one time is 20. However, just click the green checkmark at the bottom right and then drag again until you reach the desired soft focus. I find that 2 x 20 works well.

Once you have the image you want, click the green arrow again, then click the button on the bottom right that has an arrow going into a hard drive. This will save your new image. Don't worry, it doesn't write over your original image but creates a brand new image.

Now go and attempt to add the wallpaper. It will be the last image in the folder since you have just created it. It will not be next to the original image.

Now look at your icons and you should notice they look more 3D than before. Enjoy!
