[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
Rom Manager won't work on JK4 stock because it installed 3e recovery which checks that update.zip files are signed before running them. If you choose to stick with JK4 and want to pursue Rom Manager, your best bet is probably using a kernel which has Rom Manager built in. For example, I flashed SpeedMod Kernel k10j on one of my phones (check the i9000 dev forums).

If you choose to "downgrade", use Odin. JK3 (2.2) and JH2 (2.1) are Bell specific firmwares. Alternatively, using the reg hack solution might work (I've never used it myself so can't offer help). Let us know if you need help with Odin or flashing an earlier firmware.

How do I downgrade my Bell Vibrant? I have 2 Bell Vibrants.. 1 already got the SDcard error 3 days after updating to 2.2.. My second one is still working (2.2) and I want to save it! Please show me how to safely downgrade back to 2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xedd:
Bricks were happening before Froyo 2.2 (JK4) came out of the official channel (Kies).

Nobody can say for certain that it has something to do with JK4 or with an internal hardware issue that is a ticking time bomb. If your phone is working fine on 2.2 (like mine), enjoy it, otherwise send it back to Bell for repair when it dies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xedd:
1) Verify you have Recovery and Download mode still working (3 button combo).

2) Remove any lag fixes if you have applied them and download the UGJH2 PDA from Samsung firmware website.

3) Start Odin and put the JH2 firmware (tar file) in the PDA section.

4) Put the 512 pit file that came with Odin install in the PIT section.

5) Click Re-partition.

6) Stop Kies if running and connect phone to USB cable.

7) Ensure that Odin recognizes the phone in the ID:COM section.

8) Click Re-Partition and hit Start.

9) Pray that it works, wait for it to reboot and wait for it to startup, it may take longer than normal for the first boot.

I'm not responsible if it does not work out for you.... Personally, if you have it working on JK4, I would leave it well enough alone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerboii:
Thanks for giving the step by step guide.. I am experiencing some FC's on JK4.. I think it's on it's way to getting bricked.. I wana put back JH2 as soon as possible

I went back to JK3 as I've had no problems with it and it's given me the best battery life. Its currently sitting at 84% remaining battery after 12 hours use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamArchibald:
is this likely the best way to get an i9000m that has been upgraded to 2.2 to have e2 recovery? Also where would i download the JH2 rom file?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp991:
I've been running JK4 since it got realeased and so far so good. Never had any probleme related to firmware. My phose is a new one got after my first one died using JPC so I don't think it's related to firmware but realy hardware.
[Nexus S Accessories] thefoss:
The NS looks slick as hell naked, no question there. But I'm terrified to set the thing down because the back is so glossy and plasticity. Hope somebody makes a nice rubberized door for it like the EVO has. Because I HATE cases.
[Nexus S Accessories] DumbUglyDragon:
Ditto.... I already have a few small scratches :(
[Nexus S Accessories] diversificationied:
Get some rubberized stain spray paint from lowes/home depot.

Sand, spray, enjoy.
[Nexus S Accessories] thefoss:
I kinda meant something that DOESN'T look like a DIY POS.
[Nexus S Accessories] ztm.000:
Haha, no ****.
[Nexus S Accessories] diversificationied:
If you can't handle a spray can properly, that's kinda depressing.
[Nexus S Accessories] intothevoid:
This is actually not a bad idea. You could use Plasti-dip for this. Just spray the 1st coat. Let it dry than spray another. I say spray about 4 coats and once its dry it will be matte black in color and provide you a nice grip and the best thing is that it will peel right off cause it dries as plastic!. I might actually do this. I have a few can's left from using on my car. (Available at Home Depot and probably lowes)
[Nexus S Accessories] pgibbons:
Even if you spray it evenly, the resulting back cover will not be flush with the rest of the phone. Do you have any pictures of a DIY job that looks good? I know people have tried with the other Galaxy S phones (Captivate excluded) but I haven't seen any that look that good IMO.
[Nexus S Accessories] Anderdroid:
The back will cost 5-10$ to replace... Don't worry so much ;)
[Nexus S Accessories] diversificationied:
It's spray paint not body filler.
[Nexus S Accessories] pgibbons:
Obviously, but have you seen pictures where it didn't look like a DIY POS like the person said? You end up having a nice phone with an ugly back cover that is not flush with the sides of the phone. If you have seen a good DIY job, show some pics like I said so we can see what it looks like. What is acceptable looking to you may not be to others.
[Nexus S Accessories] mhaedo:
The PlastiDip looks quite nice, and I am very picky. I also like the grip. The stock case is ugly...too glossy, a fingerprint magnet, and slippery to the point where I nearly drop the phone.

My Nexus S is currently my only camera so I can't post any decent photos of the completed cover on the phone, but I'll post some later when my girlfriend gets home. I'm sure the majority of you will be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Here's a shot I took after applying the second coat.
[Nexus S Accessories] tech338:
It's gonna cost a little more than $5. The Nexus S has a NFC antenna molded into the rear cover, along with some connection points that allow it to interface with the phone.

I doubt that you could find a back for a SGS for $5, much less a NS.

My $.02
[Nexus S Accessories] Smilez_c:
Yes I did notice that chip as well....
[Nexus S Accessories] diversificationied:
It's not molded in, it's an printed circuit on an vinyl base with adhesive, that is stuck to the inside of the cover.

Also NFC/RFID are dirt cheap to produce.
[Nexus S Accessories] pgibbons:
Looking forward to seeing the final pictures. I will probably end up trying the PlastiDip route if it looks okay. Did you have to do anything to prep the cover before you sprayed it like sanding?
[Nexus S Accessories] mhaedo:
No prep. Just four carefully applied thin coats. It's completely dry now and I'm VERY happy with the results. Pictures within the hour.
[Nexus S Accessories] ztm.000:
This actually looks amazingly nice. What did you use?

Firstly, you need to post more info..

Secondly, did you have 3button recovery or download mode before flash? Do they not work now?

Thirdly, you needed to post this in the q&a section.

Fourthly, let this be a lesson for people to be careful when doing things for thier phones.. An expensive brick is still just a brick!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] st4rk:
If you can't get download or recovery working the only option you have is make the jig to try to get it working again, or send the phone back saying it broke and you don't know what happened.

Also just for kicks try heating the back with ha hair dryer and then using three button combo to get to download.. some have said that works.. lol

Other than that i'm not sure anyone can help.

Battery flat?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacConsult:
I'm in a similar predicament - while flashing Darky 7.0 via ROM manager, during the clockworkmod phase, and before being completed, the screen went black -- and has remained that way ever since.

Doesn't respond to three button, download mode, or any power on combination. I ordered a jig and will try that as a last resort, but not really holding out much hope.

Is there some other way? Otherwise, I'm getting ready to ship it back to Samsung. Should I send to Korea, Singapore or elsewhere for best service (am currently in USA).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
Do you mean the SGS does not power on at all? Or it goes black at some point during boot-up?

If it's the latter, there is still some hope (with the jig you ordered). Otherwise, it probably needs to be sent in for repairs (within US, why would you want to send it to Korea / Singapore!? Is it an international model you bought elsewhere?)

/also, check the battery first

Hi,

This is really strange ! My screen lights up each time I receive a phone call.

I'm looking my Call preferences in Settings right now and I don't find anything about the screen!

This is my conf in the sound Settings anyway (perhaps there's a link, so you can try my conf) :

General
Sound profile : Normal
Volume
Vibrate : checked

Incoming calls
Phone Ringtone
Quiet ring on pickup : checked
Pocket mode : checked
Flip for speaker : checked

Notifications
Notification sound

Feedback
Audible touch tones : checked
Audible selection : unchecked
Screen lock sounds : unchecked
Vibrate feedback : checked

There is also the display panel. I tried to disable Animations but my screen was still lighting up each time I received a call. Perhaps Notification flash have something to do with your problem ?

Good luck guys !
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
The not lighting up when you receive a text is normal. You could try Handcent of SMS popup from the market. These apps have an option for that.

As for not lighting up when you receive a phone call I have no idea. There was an issue with the proximity sensor bug on release, but this seems to be a different one.

I did some testing on the custom 2.2.1 rom with CM with 2 diffrence kernels

Kernel/Boot 1.1

and

Kernel/Boot 1.2

Well it suprise me this device is killing fast

anyway ill show you some overclock results and benchmark,s from kernel 1.1 and 1.2

Overclocking.

Used App: SetCPU 2.0.4

in 1.1 is max i get is 800Mhz Stable

in 1.2 i get 806-825Mhz Stable (825Mhz crash in some apps)(you can try faster but it is not stable enough)

its a lil win for 1.2 but need to be more optimized to use it on higher speed

Kernel/boot 1.1________________________Kernel/boot 1.2

Benchmarking.

Used App: Quardrant Advanced 1.1.1 Rev 1352

I used one app for now soon ill give you more bench results.

But this is really a shock when you see this it was even a schock for me!

I dindt realize this phone was this powerfull you will see what i mean in the pictures.

Kernel/boot 1.1________________________Kernel/boot 1.2

Well enjoy the results and say wow because this phone is one man army!
[GT540 Optimus General] revan17:
I just installed SetCPU and set it 800Mhz, excellent performance. I'm running the 4.4 version of the OpenSwift mod.

Does the overclocking generally drain more battery? Also am I killing the phone faster? Never used this software before so I gotta ask.
[GT540 Optimus General] revan17:
Also should you use the same values in both max and min?
[GT540 Optimus General] ZduneX25:
@revan17 that will kill your battery life, leave min value. I prefer 245-300 for min.
[GT540 Optimus General] revan17:
Thanks, I set the min to 320 and max to 787. Also set up a screen off profile with 120 min and 240 max. THose values are OK?
[GT540 Optimus General] ZduneX25:
I think that screen off needs min 245 to wake up fast when sum1 will call/text to you.

fastboot is phone special mode for updating system,

u can get it (if you flash rom with fastbooot) holding power and camera button, when phone starts (LG logo, just turn off your phone and then press power + camera and until black screen)

for flash new system you must download Android SDK

Just a little warning....

Running CM 6.1 Stable. Using the Torch/flashlight (on super bright) via the notification pull-down button. Needed my other hand so I set it down, led/back side down with the light still on. Finished what i was doing but forgot about the phone for 10 - 15 minutes. When I picked it up I noticed it was incredibly (no pun) hot and the light was dim and yellow. This was the aftermath!

Jeez man. You could use this as a survival tool in the wild to start fires, cook food, burn ants, etc.
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
lol, No lie, who knew LEDs could get so hot. This is no the first time I've seen this, both were with third party apps. Anyone had a problem like this with the HTC flashlight app?

When you open the torch app and choose super bright it gives you a warning and says this will make it run really hot and hasn't been test for longer that (x amount of minutes forget how many it says)
[Droid Incredible General] Keyboards:
Same thing happened to me! I deliver food as my job and I was making a delivery. For some reason the people who ordered the food didn't have any lights on their house. So from my car, I used the CM light with high brightness to look for a house number. Found it, put my phone down, and exited. About 5 min later (guy wanted me to change a hundred on a 6 dollar order), I get back in my car and grab my phone close to the LED and felt that that f*cker was HOT. Turned the light off and noticed it was starting to melt the plastic. No damage was done to the LED's but the plastic around it looks like some soggy boobs. The end lol.

This is exactly what happened to my phone! I even started a thread about it hahaha. Honestly, if this has physically wrecked 5+ phones (which it has, I've heard from at least that many users just on xda), it's a troubling issue.

The warning on Torch states that the light has been tested for 30min. Honestly, I used mine for five minutes MAX before the plastic started to melt.
[Droid Incredible General] s197:
Is there a flashlight app that has a "timeout" option? Seems that would solve the problem.

I use the Lampuu widget, which shuts off the LEDs when the screen times out. Less of a chance for something like this to happen. Doesn't surprise me though, those put off a lot of light!

I only use the stock HTC flashlight app at the lowest setting, and for no longer than 30 seconds. Otherwise, I get a real flashlight. It's very rare that I need go to the 2nd or 3rd brightness setting, but when I do, it's for mere seconds at most.

Overvolted LED's ahahaha
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Unfortunately, it's not really realistic to put a set number of minutes onto the warnings/ratings. People tend to look at such numbers as absolute without considering the myriad of variables that make a very large difference in the equation.

For example, if you had to put a spare tire on your car in the middle of a cold night, I bet you could run the DInc's LEDs at full power for a very long time before they melted anything. In fact, you might be more likely to run down the battery before you damaged anything.

LEDs put out a ton of heat. It's problematic, to say the least, since heat is also one of the major killers of LEDs. If you look at modern high-powered LED flashlights, the higher-end ones will use multiple methods of heat dissipation.

Our DIncs have no built-in method to dissipate the heat from the LEDs. We don't have a good heatsink, nor do our phones sense the LED temperature and regulate voltage accordingly. To use the LEDs on a high setting, we therefore really need adequate airflow and/or a decent makeshift heatsink (your hand, for example, is a pretty good heatsink).

A DInc LED that is left on and then placed down (or even worse, shoved into a pocket) not only lacks airflow, but is likely being insulated (unless you happened to set it down on a nice, aluminum surface). The heat build-up is going to be very rapid and very destructive.

It would be nice if there was some current regulation, but these things weren't really designed as flashlights.

Anyway, that's my long-winded way of saying that some people will get away with 30 minutes of LED use while others will cook their phone in 5. Ambient conditions will play a huge role in the equation.
