[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
In settings cleared data in download manager, google services framework and market. Opened market, rebooted and all working again. May have just fixed itself but tried this and it worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roccos_van:
This worked for me first try, I didn't do step 10 however, and I used airplane mode...so it's ok to delete the entire /efs folder? It will regenerate by itself?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tanoxxx:
I have fix the problemi in this way:

- Go to Applications -> manage applications and click in the "All process"

- Select the following processes and click only "delete data":

Download Manager, Google Services Framework, Market, and Market Updater.

- Now restart your phone and reopen the market .. should work now

If you do not see in "My Applications" your app installed, just download and install any app will appear on your Galaxy.

For me worked, i hope also for others

PS.Sorry for bad english
[Galaxy S I9000 General] willverduzco:
Glad to hear that it worked for you!

Also surprising that it did work without step 10. I believe step 10 was required for my particular phone to get the network connection back because I was unable to use Airplane Mode instead of temporarily damaging my /efs in the first place. I can't wait until a better release of CM7 comes on the Nexus S so that I have a fully functioning Airplane Mode as well. It'll make this issue much less of a hassle.

And yes, the /efs partition regenerates with dummy values. That is why people with corrupt /efs partitions end up with that dummy IMEI.

Market access died again for me this morning, but my solution (quote above) worked to restore my market access within minutes.
[General Questions and Answers] lerois123:
The truth is not what happens. I enter the market but is not "the market" (graphically the same) but the applications are all testing or things like that. Most are free (many of whom are paying the true market) and user-created Android Market Test developed by google.com according to the site. There are applications such as "Picasa Uploader" developed by Google, Inc, or street map google, facebook, google quick search, disk usage, translate, disk usage, etc.. Try uninstalling the updates and clear cache but nothing changes.

I want my market back. :S

--------------------------------------------------------------------

He added:

I still have the problem but even if I give a profit. Application to fall found two that are helpful: Google Desk Clock and GoogleMusic developed by "android market test" (google.com website developer says.) Will not know if the "google" but the player is functional and has a widget that does not consume many resources and the clock is very good: squeeze it and puts you as if you were blocked but it is not and has 4 preset buttons: set alarm , passing as the presenting your photos with effects (this is the best), a button that takes you to google music (they are integrated?, if you do not have google music does nothing) and another that takes you to "google news and weather" (which the clear because there was little customizable) .. and in the middle of the screen is the time and date, and down (if you got google news and weather) gives us the weather. Finally at the top right of the screen is a circle that if you squeeze off all visible, leaving only the time, date and program icons but if you keep tight off everything and just keeps time.

It's strange: that user (android market test) is to download the google voice (que en mi territorio no esta, asi que lo voy a probar), google music v3, google dock clock v3, google email v3, VNM (voice mail), google car home, google maps 5, google maps street, google camera, google calendar sync, google gallery 3d, google voice, gmail, google quick search, gtalk, google news and weather y despues todas cosas raras. Then, google dock clock and google music should also be of google but still not out?, do not understand.

Greetings and I hope someone who knows tell me how to get back to my normal market.

PD: Excuse my English, i'm french.

Greetings all,

Camera Failed on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 16gb.

Where can I find camera firmware to install / reinstall / update my camera?

not sure if this will work but I am willing to try anything at this point.

I have already uninstalled Fring, factory reset. Updated from Eclair to Froyo and still the camera does not work.

The camera worked for only one day.

Feedback much appreciated, thanks...

:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbonezx11:
Searched & not found a solution...Sorry if this is in wrong thread.

I have a MT3G 1.2 (32A) --> Stock ROM, just rooted it.

Trying to install CyanogenMod ROM --> I boot into recovery mode and get the big Triangle with the yellow exclamation point above the image of a phone.

I am new to android development/hacking, and have read a lot, but can't seem to figure out what this issue is.

I can pull the battery & reboot no problem, and can boot into fastboot no problem. This ROM apparently has to be done via recovery mode, which I'm still trying to figure out, hence my issue.

I've found some awesome step-by-step instructions on how to root & do other things, but I seem to get a bit confused when trying to follow the step-by-steps of installing a custom ROM....even following: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...anogenMod_5+ The issue for me is when am I entering data on the phone & when am I doing it on my PC TO the phone via shell, etc.

Any help ... a link to a tutorial I've missed or explanation as to why I'm getting the jacked icon on my phone would be greatly appreciated.

HBOOT: 1.33.0013

CPLD 13

Radio 2.22.23.02

Currently stock 1.6 ROM

DYING to get updated stuff....missing the Exchange sync of my HD2 (btw, anyone want to buy a perfectly good HD2 with cracked screen? touch still works, etc.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
First... wrong section. Your post belongs in General because it's not Development related.

Second... you just need to flash a custom recovery. Use Amon_Ra's 1.7.0G or ClockworkMod recovery for Google devices.

By the way... I want to make this clear. You do NOT have a 32A phone! You have a 32B. Even though it says 32A, the only thing that it 32A is the amount of memory. You need 32B kernels, radios, roms, etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbonezx11:
Thanks Bin...sorry for wrong section...

Question: So how on earth would I know I don't have the 32A & need to use 32B ROMs, etc.

This is the Tmobile MT3G with 3.5 mm jack (not fender edition)...When I power up with the vol down, it EVEN SAYS "Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-On G

By that theory, I should be able to just use the Tmobile update that came out for the 32B, right? Everything I've read says that's NOT the case. Please help me understand this before I go bricking my phone by flashing wrong combo of stuff...

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Nope... probably not. Because the normal 32B device have a different memory map and different drivers (touch screen and headphone jack) the OTA for 32B devices may not work either. Also our devices have twice as much RAM that is only available in kernels that are built specifically for 32A devices that use 32B radios. The only device like that is the one you're using. Otherwise if you use a 32B rom that isn't built specifically for your type of device you only get half of the ram. Hey, you have the same device as I do.... and I bought it (via upgrade) when it came out. Now I have to wait another 12+ months before I can do another upgrade. Obviously, I regret doing it. You have two options, flash a custom rom from the G1 section, or unroot and wait for the official OTA. Unfortunately I have lost interest in this device and am waiting to either purchase the MyTouch 4G or the Nexus S at full price when the prices drop a little. Until then, like you, I'm stuck. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbonezx11:
Thanks again Bin! Yeah, I got this phone off ebay for $100 last month after dropping my HD2 - I don't qualify for an upgrade until end of February -- I'm hoping something really fun is announced at CES in a couple weeks. I love the nexus S, but am not getting a phone that doesn't support HSPA+ !!! Same reason I wouldn't get the HD7 -- maybe the rumors will be true & we'll get the dual-core LG Optimus 2X !!!! THat's a sweet lil piece of hardware.

Anyway, back to this phone...alright so you're telling me that none of the 32A ROMS will work on this phone either? THat might explain why I've been having trouble installing custom ROMs - I am rooted & have ClockWorkMod's recovery.

I tried flashing the newest cyanogenmod ROM (update-cm-6.1.0=DS-signened.zip and the kernel but it didn't work & I tried the 2.2.1_Frg83D-32a.zip ROM too...both locked up & I had to recover...

Not asking you what ROM I should install, but which ones have worked & you like? Are you saying the G1 ROMs will work on this phone/battery, etc.?

Or should I switch the SPL/Radio combo that my phone says it has to install other 32A ROMs? I'm really confused now.

Thanks for your help!!!

WOW, I didn't WIPE before I installed the ROM...that solved my problem...now time to play with my new phone toys....thanks again for your help!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
No problem. Just stick with 32B roms and don't bother changing your radio or spl. Too much work for little (if any) accomplishment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bogo_mips:
If you want to flash CM6.1, be careful of what you do to the radios / spl... you need a specific version of these to be compatible with CM (unless you start looking at specialized kernels...)

I think the CM wiki mentions which versions are compatible....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thelgow:
Im loving the new gingerbread keyboard design, but I noticed I often hit period instead of space bar because I keep just missing it on the right side. I dont even use the smiley button, so is there a way to resize the smiley button or remove it just so I can slide period over and extend the space bar?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlovejoy:
aha I had the same issue although this belongs in the q&a section

get to the text section in settings and change the settings of the keyboard so that the voice search is hidden and the settings on keyboard are hidden and then you should have a much larger space bar. i dont use those so i have them set to always hide.

hope this helps. if not then pm me and i will see what other angles i can help you attack this issue with.
[EVO 4G General] princessakiki:
If you want the new market to update automatically all you have to do is go into your applications and clear data once that is done go into the market click agree and log or of it and give it a minute and it will update. Worked for me hope it works for you.

Worked for me, but it didn't happen immediately. I played a couple of youtube vids and left it alone and poof, about a half hour later I have it. Thanks for this tip!
[EVO 4G General] teamgreen02:
I cleared both data and cache and got the update within a minute or two. Thanks for the tip!
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Worked for me, thanks! Be sure to press "Uninstall Updates" as well as clear cache and data.
[EVO 4G General] Autris:
Awesome, worked many thanks!
[EVO 4G General] welliv:
Tried it (clear data and uninstall updates), and a couple of minutes later it updated. Thanks!!
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
Worked for me, clear the data and whatever else can be cleared, I waited about a half hour then opened up the market and it was the new one. Great find on this!
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
Cleared data, uninstalled updates. Five minutes later, I had the new market. THANKS! :)

Tried it a few times in the last 24hrs on CM and didn't work. Also tried on a friends Incredible and it was a no go.

EDIT: It worked for me on Myn's, but not CM.
[EVO 4G General] DayoDee:
To the guy that posted this it work for me and everybody that is trying to do it when you clear the data don't go directly in to the market turn your phone off and turn it back on and it should work I did it and it works is have the market available for me
[EVO 4G General] thenags:
I did that a few times as well. I just think it doesn't work on CM
[EVO 4G General] SteveDusa:
Thanks OP! It worked.

For those who aren't sure what to do, this might help a bit.

On your home screen, press menu, then select settings. Navigate to "Applications", then select "Manage applications".

Click "All" and go find "Market", click on it and then click "Uninstall updates", confirm and uninstall, then click "Clear data". Now you can close it and reboot (or turn off and on if you are not rooted).

Then just relaunch Market again, wait for a bit and you should have the latest.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Just a FYI, when i got to settings, manage apps, market.....dont have an option to uninstall updates. Just clear data, cache, and move to SD. Thats it. Running 1.82 version.
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
It works
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I think my version of CM is funky or something, it won't update youtube in the market liek it does for other people.. it just shows up as "free" like I don't have it installed. And my market won't update to the new version no matter what I do lol.

I am running a nightly that dropped just before the cm6.1 final, the final was horribly laggy and sluggish for me. Maybe that has something to do with it I guess.
[EVO 4G General] thenags:
Uninstall YouTube with Titanium and then install from the Market.
[EVO 4G General] jerrygon:
Same here... Can anyone help with this? I am on CM 6.1.1 with the December gapps.
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
Am I the only one who seriously feels like it not only doesn't feel cheap, but actually feels better this way?

I mean, the device still feels nice and solid, with even weight distribution, but it also feels so light and elegant to me. I've held and used other smartphones that don't give me anything close to this feeling. I think it actually feels more stylish and elegant than the iPhone 4, plastic and all.

I'll readily submit the idea that maybe I'm the rare outlier who feels like this, but does anyone else feel this way?
[Nexus S General] barmanham:
I have to agree coming from a vibrant that had a little creaking problem this is way better and feels solid.I was gonna stay with the mytouch4g but I replaced 2 times and kept getting the crappy screen.Kinda glad that happened feelin this phone so far over my vibrant.Btw I wouldn't switch to this if you already have a Vibrant its just I had a deal going on with my friend so I got it at upgrade price and I will sell the Vibrant.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Agreed, the build quality is very good, the only thing that could possibly be called cheap is the back cover because it's plastic, if they covered the plastic with that soft-touch stuff like on the n1 it would be better. Overall the quality is very good, nice and solid and the haptic feedback works great compared to my n1 where the haptic feedback made it feel like it was rattling around inside my phone and about to fall apart.

The screen is the best on the market imo, and the external speaker is miles better that the one on the n1.
[Nexus S General] angryoaf:
I totally agree here. The phone just feels light and sleek to me. I'm loving the all round experience with this thing. Definitely the best Android phone to date... hands down.

I normally go to sleep with Pandora playing on my PC but the other night I was just messing around checking out the general quality of "stuff" and turned on Pandora on the ns. I was so surprised at the quality of the sound that I ended up listening for a long while and passing out.

The difference is especially profound if you compare the sound quality with that of the tmo G2... which sounds like utter garbage.

I'm loving this thing!
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
The Nexus S HAD to be plastic. Why?

Because of the NFC the back cover can not be metal.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Like I've mentioned before in other threads, my only real complaint about the build quality is that I wish they had used some sort of texture coating on the casing. It's quite slick when you first start using it and haven't adjusted your grip accordingly yet.

That and my nitpicky issue about Google/OEMs constantly rearranging their capacitive buttons lol. Pick an order and stick with it!
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
I finally got to play with a nexus s yesterdjw and I was surprised that it did in fact feel very solid and good in the hand. But missing track ball notification colors still gets to me.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
You can grab an app off the marketplace called NoLED which will use your screen as a notification light. The SAMOLED consumes almost 0 power to show the color black, so the only power loss would be from the little colored pixels that make up the icon/block showing your notification.

You can even customize it to not show notifications during certain hours, like when you're asleep, or use the proximity sensor so it won't show notifications while it's in your pocket but will display them when you take it out. Pretty cool app, all in all.
[Nexus S General] daCalifa:

[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Agreed. Coming from the captivate, I feel right at home.
[Nexus S General] waggermama:
I got to try a friend's today and was pleasantly surprised. I actually vetoed my husband getting the original galaxy s cos I thought it felt rather plasticy, but the nexus does feel solid but light (certainly lighter than both my desire and hubby's brick/iphone4)
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
Feels solid to me. Only complaint is that the back cover does scratch easily.
[Nexus S General] sassyness77:
exactly

So this also means that other high class google phones are going to have to be made of plastic to use an NFC chip? This is what I also was wondering, and this is really going to upset all the others saying how terrible samsungs (plastic) build quality is and how wonderful HTC's (metal) is...
[Nexus S General] wooger:
No phone can ever be fully cased in metal, as you need to get radio waves in and out. Android phones could use glass construction like the iPhone 4, or just stick to using higher quality plastics.

I would have no problem at all with the Galaxy or Nexus S construction if they'd used a nice softtouch case, and maybe made the phone feel heavier somehow...
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
It feels amazing. I'm seriously love this

[Nexus S General] Kubernetes:
The great thing about the plastic back is that you don't have to baby it or buy a case. Replacement backs will likely run around $5, so feel free to scuff it up or put grippy tape on it. At least you don't have to sorry about denting or scratching and losing resale value like metal phones.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Might wanna wait for them to actually show up in stores or on ebay before doing that.;)

I'm with everyone here, the build quality is awesome. I was worried after coming from N1 but I really shouldn't have. I should have known Google wouldn't let down the Nexus name.

Everytime I pick my phone up I'm more and more satisfied that I made the right choice by switching to NS.
[Nexus S General] Smilez_c:
I haven't put this thing down since Thursday ...I love everything about it ....it just feels good in hand and this screen just gorgeous OMG...just sold my N1 and I was worried but not anymore!
[Nexus S General] evilpika:
awesome

im really impress i just got it like 2 hours ago and i just loved it, coming from a N1 i can say this is a better phone, if u doubt to buy the NS stop it and get urself a NS.
[Nexus S General] drew_grant:
I was apprehensive about getting rid of the Nexus One myself, but the more and more I use this phone, I feel I like this more than the Nexus One. True, I wish there was an LED for notifications but I can live without it. I especially like when the screen is off. It looks very elusive and stealth like. I also have a Vibrant which I am getting rid of tomorrow and the Vibrant feels and looks so cheap compared to this. I'm so glad I bought this phone. This is the only phone to dethrone the Nexus One's spot for best phone ever for me.
[Nexus S General] CraigP17:
Build is solid. I'm currently carrying both my ATT n1 and Tmo n's and I don't see a drop in quality build at all.

[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
honestly. this is a matter of what everyone likes. some people are ok with this. others are not.

i like my phone to be aluminum. it feels more expensive. and usually an eye candy. plastic phones are here since late 90s. and i do find them cheap.

however, i do love the design of the nexus S. the curves and how the phone look in general is very nice. sexy. i like the Xperia X10 design more " ****ty phone. dont come close to it " but it got very nice design. and the nexus S is behind it

the DHD feels sexy and solid in the hand. which is i love. and so is the iphone 4.

but yeah. i hate plastic

[Focus General] bennyj71:
I got my Focus last night. I went to a couple of blogs with IE. I tried to download some songs. A webpage opened up, then some strange player appeared and starting playing the song, but I can't see where or if it downloaded it. Can we not download some stuff on our phones? If so this phones gotta go. The songs I was trying to download are from a mixtape that Zune doesn't even have, so I can't understand the issue.
[Focus General] geological1:
Just dl the song on your PC and add it to your Zune library and sync your phone to it.

lol, I know that but I connect my phone to my truck. I go online to find new songs that I can listen too. Pain in the butt to have to what till I get home.
