Yea, but I can only reach download mode. Phone will not boot into recovery, or even start up, just download mode lol. And i dont think its the USB, seeing as how i can plug in my other Vibrant and odin detects it immediately (on the same computer).
[Vibrant General] bobbbb:
Well if the very same usb cable and port recognizes your phone (I'm assuming you both have the same exact phones) and odin recognizes your phone and not his, then his usb port on his phone must be where the problem lies... Try looking it, or even opening your phone and cleaning his usb port or something. Or try a different computer. if you can get into download mode don't worry, you'll find a way to fix your phone.
[Vibrant General] Dimitri_010:
Still having the same problems. Tried a different USB cable, different computer running Odin...no luck. Only my computer detects that the phone even exists by shooting me an error saying that the device has malfunctioned. Phone just stays in download mode...Odin doesnt detect it. I've tried different methods to have ODIN detect it and still nothing.
[Vibrant General] west-siiiyyde:
Had to go through this too, but didn't have another phone in download mode to test against.

Win7 x64, tried a bunch of different drivers, but in the end was running the ones that come with Samsung Kies. In my case it ended up working without the original samsung cable (just a generic one), and with a USB port hanging right off my motherboard at the back of my tower. I have two USB ports on the front of my tower and they always errored, no matter what combinations I tried (including the same cable and driver). But when I switched to a port at the back, I got past the malfunctioning USB device error. Also, it seemed like Odin likes to be running when the phone boots into download mode. This took hours but phone runs perfectly now.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
And if you're set on having stock, read this chose the noRadioFlash.zip version.

Before running jcase's 1 Click Eris Root save the zip file on the sdcard, but not in a folder, just on the drive.

Before you start I recommend charging to 100% and leaving it plugged into AC the whole time.

Run 1 Click, after reboot, power off the phone, hold the volume up button and press and hold the power/end call button at the same time, this will start AmonRA recovery image which was installed by 1 Click

The fifth selection is "Wipe" scroll to it with the trackball, press in on the trackball to select.

Select "Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm.

The same for "Wipe Dalvik-cache" (these two steps aren't strictly necessary for the FlashBack, but are good habit.)

Press once the volume down button to return to the main menu.

Select the fourth option "Flash zip from sdcard"

Ignore update.zip and any other ROMs, highlight FlashBack21, or a custom if you like, select it, confirm your selection, and wait patiently for "official 2.1"

I believe it reboots a few times during this flash, when it's all done you will need to reactivate the phone, this is a nearly automated process and it's harder to avoid than to find.

Sorry if this is unnecessary or wasteful, the ramblings of a bored insomniac :o

Re: Retrieve every Neighbor CID on Android Platform

by reto.koenig » Sat Nov 27, 2010 9:17 pm

Hello,

I am a professor in computer science and I am currently holding Android lessons.

My students and I, we are working on several Android-Phones and we verified the same code including getNeighboringCellInfo() on HTC-Magic (2.2), Nexus-One (2.2.2), Motorola-Milestone(2.1), Samsung Galaxy S (2.1 / 2.2).

And guess what: Samsung Galaxy S NEVER returns any neighboring cells. Neither on Android 2.1 nor on Android 2.2.

This circumstance is very nasty, as even Google-Maps expects this information and hence always shows a wrong result when positioning relies on the cell-ids.

So if you need the knowledge of the neighboring cells (which indeed augments the positioning) do not use a Samsung.

Sorry for the bad news.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.steroid:

-Can u identify the system process which gave these informations when u enter the "magic" code ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feny_lf:
thanks. yes, we can get it via "debug screen".

Do you know how we can get it through android api? can we dev some app to get the neighbor cell info by ourselves? thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anything.j:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtoots:
Samsung galaxy S2

My S2 displays cell info using the service mode key sequence *#197328640#. However, the level of detail is disappointing. No time advance for GSM and no cell Ids for neighbouring cells. This is due to the coding or implementation of the low level api (or transceiver driver) in the Samsung I believe, so that telephony classes do not include methods for getting more detail, so programmers can do nothing.

I have written cell tracking software for Symbian phones, and their CTelephony class is also quite limited, with no neighbouring cell id's or TA either. In fact, no frequency channels are available either. However, the famous Nokia FTD has access to these (via access to lower level API or driver) , but ironically not to the neighbour cell IDs either.

The only phone that displays neighbour cell IDs that I can find is the Blackberry, (v4. and higher). In fact ironically it has a better FTD than Nokia, since it also includes a BTS test facility that is menu driven for forcing a phone onto a specific channel or cell. The Nokia FTD does incorporate a BTS test but it is not as well implemented in my view.

Hey folks, I hear there's already a port of the gingerbread keyboard for some devices (like G1 with custom roms and Samsung Galaxy S).

Anybody tried to get it running on the Defy?

Is it possible to install it like every other 3rd party keyboard without having to overwrite the default keyboard?

Thanks in advance!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
I know I am probably going to get some heat for posting a "Question" in the Devs section, but I did attempt to ask it in the Q&A section, but have not received any responses from any of the developers (not sure if they regular that section).

My question is why none of the Captivate developers utilize ROM manager as a place to download (and update) their custom ROMs? I know many of us have purchased the premium license, and wonder why you haven't utilized this feature? Is it more of a hassle? Is there costs involved that inhibit Devs from wanting to post there? I know EVO owners have a wide variety of ROMs on their device available for download right from manager.

Thanks in advance, and if this tread needs to be moved or deleted after, I won't be offended. ;)

........and thank you Devs for your AWESOME Roms!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bighitter:
I, too, was disappointed after purchasing ROM Manager Premium that there were no ROMs available to download. I was under the impression that this would open up a load of ROMs for me to download and try out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
Personally, I think the purchase was well worth it considering how much I've used it. I did it to support the guy. I can find roms on my own.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8Danes:
Oh, I completely agree. I was just wondering why our devs haven't utilized it. Maybe it has to do with the file type system that the Galaxy S's use? I know it is probably safer using Odin to flash back to stock first, but maybe there was another reason? Or maybe that isn't even a reason?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
I am not an expert but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that rom manager does not work with the captivate as it does with other devices such as the evo. For whatever reason when you simply try to flash a new rom, old remnants remain and you often experience problems especially when the new rom is based on a different build/kernel, etc. That is the reason everyone recommends flashing stock using odin first as it eliminates all remnants of the previous rom.

It is nice to be able to use the full functionality of rom manager on my evo but honestly I usually research here on xda first anyway.

I have yet to see a full explanation as to why we have the issue on the captivate and hopefully someone who understands the exact reason will take the time to explain.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
It's related mainly to the Kernel and Modem I'm sure. The evo community doesn't use a kernel and modem file designed for an entirely different (albeit very similar) device; we do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holmes108:
Rom manager needs to be more clear on how many ROMS will be available before purchase. The way it's worded makes it seem like you'll have roms to choose from regardless of your device.

I also upgraded to premium and spent time"trouble shooting" trying to figure out what was wrong.

I knew every popular rom wouldn't necessarily be listed but I certainly expected something.

Meant to quote just about everyone...

Not the point of the question. Incase it needs to be reiterated, what he wants to ask is: Developers. Why are your ROMs not available via Rom Manager directly?

If there is a reason why you don't use it, it would be nice of you could elaborate. Not everyone has money to throw at something that they don't see beneficial. (Paid vs unpaid.) Donations are nice, but they are donations for a reason. Any "Oh, but you should contribute to Rom Manager creaters anyway." chat is beside the point and not the focus of this thread, so please keep your opinion on purchasing donate versions out of the equation.

I would check if Locale in the Market would give you the option to automatically turn off Sync when Mobile Data is on, and on for WiFi. If it doesn't have the option, check if there's a Locale plugin that'll give it to you.
