[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 420SYN:
I have a bell Vibrant. I was running on Darky's FW. But this happens on any firmware and even on recovery menu. As the phone is booting the touch buttons are illuminated, if I press one (menu or back) that light goes out and stays out and I can't press it anymore. (This also happens in CWM) When phone boots up both back lights are on and go off with the screen as they should. When I unlock to phone both lights come on and go out as they should. But if I press the menu button on the home screen, it opens the menu section and the light goes out upon button press but it sticks or something and keeps pressing the menu button on its own. I can leave my phone sitting on the home screen and the menu comes up and goes away in a continuous loop until I lock the phone. The same thing happens if I unlock the phone but press the back button. the light goes out after I press it and it stays out until I lock the phone again. So my phone can sit at the home screen but only one touch button is lit up? I'm sorry for the book I just wrote but I'm frustrated and can't figure out what to do. If someone has any ideas apart from sending it to Bell for repairs please help.

Thanks

Did you try flashing it back to stock JH2 or JL2 ?

does it work on stock ROMS ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 420SYN:
Yes I was on Darky's ROM, and when I got home I flashed back to JH2 like I have done in the past and it didn't fix anything. But I think the problem goes deeper than the ROM because even in Clockwork mod or during boot if I press one of the buttons the light goes out and stays out. I tried flashing back to JH2 and JK3 with odin. And Kies tells me I can upgrade current version even tho I flashed JH2 & JK3 from samsung-firmwares.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
my suggetion, send the phone back for repair/exchange

and flash it back to stock ROM before you do ;)

sounds like a HARDWARE defect
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 420SYN:
Weirdest thing. I left the phone off in my car when I went to work today and when I turned it back on it didn't do it anymore. But a couple of days ago this happened and fixed itself too and then happened again the next day.

Mine has done this intermittently since I upgraded to JL2 at the beginning of December. Doesn't matter what rom is running, it's still the same, even sometimes does it at the cwm recovery screen. It's annoying. :\

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senis1:
Hello.

May I ask you to list contents of the following files in your HTC Desire Z:

/SYSTEM/ETC/BLUETOOTH/AUDIO.CONF

/SYSTEM/ETC/BLUETOOTH/AUTO_PAIRING.CONF

/SYSTEM/ETC/BLUETOOTH/BLACKLIST.CONF

My HTC Desire pairs with Parrot CK3200LS successfully, but seems Parrot's mic is muted during conversation. I tested Parrot with Desire Z - everything works OK. So I suspect bluetooth settings in my Desire. I want to compare those files in my Desire and in DesireZ.

Thank you for help.

Received my Samsung OEM Spare Battery System for Galaxy S which I intended to use with my Epic 4G. (A charger plus spare battery for those unfamiliar.)

Samsung EBH973UVBA

The charger refuses to charge my original battery (led flashes red, green, orange, then stays off), and my phone refuses to charge the battery that came with the charging system (Battery not connected).

The phone will run off of the new battery.

I am returning the "system". Should I request a replacement or is this expected behavior? Anyone else have this item?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Sh0wNuF:
If you bought it from sprint then definitely demand a replacement as this is not normal. If not, i'd just get my money back. As far as I know some people have had the battery not connected issue when using other galaxy s batteries
[Epic 4G Accessories] DiGi760:
Definitely not normal. I have two of those things (for 3 batteries total) and can charge any of the batteries from either of the chargers or my phone. It usually cycles through the colors then settles on red while it charges.
[Epic 4G Accessories] gorby911:
Exchange it. I have the same kit and it chahrges just fine either battery as well as the phone when plugged in.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jocala:
Exchange it. Mine works great.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Lupercal:
I am having the EXACT same issue with this charger system and my Samsung Vibrant.

Will not charge the battery that came with my phone. And if I plug a charger in to the phone while the new battery is installed, the phone shuts off. This is not acceptable.

[Epic 4G Accessories] austin420:
i assume he is talking about the led on the charging station.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Top Nurse:
Definitely not right as I have used that charger since roll out day. Occasionally it blinks orange and I just pull the battery and reseat it. Since I have three extra batteries it almost is always being used. How I got three extra batteries and one charger is another story.

[Epic 4G Accessories] mynewepic10:
Mine works perfectly with no issues. It charges both of my batteries.
[Epic 4G Accessories] YzRacer:
I am having the same problem with this charger as others. I believe I bought it new on Amazon, and my girlfriend was never able to get it working. Just checked it myself and confirmed the same symptoms as above. I am going to try another battery but I doubt it works and it's probably not worth the effort to return it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] arteitle:
Check the documentation to make certain it's meant for your phone model. I accidentally bought the wrong OEM Samsung Galaxy S battery/charger package and had the same symptoms (charger wouldn't charge original Epic battery, Epic wouldn't charge new battery). It turned out that there was a different model for the Epic 4G, even though the batteries are physically almost identical (the new one had a blue label, whereas the original had a black label) and the new battery would power the phone, just not charge in it. I ended up ordering the correct kit, and it works correctly.

[Epic 4G Accessories] YzRacer:
Thanks for the info! I have a feeling you are probably right, because I recall my girlfriend saying there was a problem with the battery too. She broke her USB plug so I have her on an Inspire right now, and I'll check the charger after her phone is fixed.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Nolonolon:
my first charger broke, but sometimes when using my functional charger. Treat the battery like a nes cartridge slide in to edge and slowly push in and down. Also when it acts up sometimes remove battery try again. cheaply made, expensively sold

Hello,

Quick first time rooter NOOB question about autostart =)

Now in the instructions it states to:

"This application runs /data/opt/autostart.sh as root after booting the device and finishes. /data/opt/autostart.sh not provided. You need to create it and fill some commands you wanna run at startup."

Well im such a noob I dont know what to do.. should I create this on sdcard or just on phone? and if so... how? =)

Thanks for your kind answer!

Id just like to clear a few things up here:

1) I have rooted my phone with just SuperOneClick v1.5.5 w/busybox for my Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S)

2) I have installed "autostart (root)" from the android market and as listed above, the instructions wants me to somehow create a file path?

Thanks again for taking the time to give me an answer =)

On a side note, I did try using titanium backup to delete the bloatware on my Galaxy S Samsung Vibrant but it said it was deleted and then when I restarted my phone it was still there and when I tried the "exploit" to force it to remove.. it still was there failing to find the file in recovery mode. any help with this?

[Wildfire General] disastercow:
first, yes i know how to search!

i've found out that when you want to unroot your phone you have to do it using ruu's.

how do i know wich Ruu i should use?

when i install the Ruu, is it just like installing a new rom using clockwork?

and when i've installed the Ruu how do i uninstall clockwork and all the other things that comes with the root?

i am currently using the standard 2.1 update 1 rom for wildfire (original rom)

:(
[Wildfire General] reqmon:
if you plan not to do rooting and flashing anymore, just update to 2.2. Everything will get original, but you will lose the opportunity to root it again. Otherwise, flash a kinda of unroot image, which comes with unrevoked, i didn't hear about it anyway. Try yourself.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
To install the RUU, Download it (It will be an EXE File), install HTC Sync on your PC, Connect your device, and, run it. You will lose Clockworkmod and all root associated apps and priveleges when you unroot it.
[Wildfire General] Mowg1i:
First check that you can root your phone.

If you already have Froyo installed on your phone then you will have the new Hboot.

If can root use the old unbranded Eclair Ruu from shipped rom's.

It's in the guide (turkeys guide i think) stickyd at the top of the page.
[Wildfire General] bynge:
I also want to go back to using stock ROMs. Froyo actually. The only reason I rooted was to gain app2sd facility which was not there in Eclair.

Now that Froyo is out for wildfire spare me the unstable ROMs. I will go for the Stock one.

I have the RUU for my mobile. But When I run it from PC, I get cannot upgrade your phone. I understand this is because I am having a custom recovery (Mine is ClockworkRecovery).

Now can anyone tell how I can get the stock Froyo ?

Do I need to get the stock recovery back ? Is there a bypass for this ?

Or is there a .zip file intead of RUU.exe files for Stock Froyo ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mlj11:
(I searched before posting, and couldn't find any similar threads.)

Ok. So I was having dinner with my family, and the topic of our birthdates came up. My mum wanted to know on which day of the week my dad was born, so my sister took out her iPhone 3GS to find out. However, it didn't have any option to jump to a specific date.

Cue sniggering and some minor anti-Apple comments from me.

I whipped out my SGS and searched for his birthdate in 1948. "Wednesday!" I said confidently. "Hmm. That's funny. I always thought it was a Friday." came my dad's reply.

By this time my sister was on the internet and looking up Google Calendar. "Dad's right. It was a Friday." she said, holding up her dim, grimy, non-SAmoled screen to our faces and drawing sagely nods from my folks. "So, care to tell us again how great Android is?"

I was red-faced the rest of the evening. And not because of the wine.

The calendar app is also one day off on my mum's birthday in 1952. However it reports an accurate day for myself and my siblings.

I played with the calendar a bit and found that it goes back only to 1st Jan 1902, which starts on a Monday (that is off by two days according to Google calendar). Strangely, the second half of the month is missing, or rather, greyed out and unclickable. Not sure if that accounts for the discrepancies, but I'd bet not, since it eventually gets the later dates right.

Was this introduced in FroYo? Or do you guys still running 2.1 have this too? (I'm on stock DXJPA.)

Any way to replace the default calendar?? :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Travel_Mate:
Stock JPP everything seems normal, no grey dates and 3rd of January 1902 is Friday

It automatically puts me on speaker when I make or receive calls

Screen orientation cannot be disabled

car home is a virus

i tried. i lookd into the roms, cm7 rc1 n rc2 n none of them have it. i figured if i delete the car home apk off gapps.hdpi.zip file it would work.. since thats the only other place its located in. nothing. it still pops up. i being dealing with thins for the last week. i did everythin. clean factory wipe, went from cm7 to cm6 in all the versions available. n nothing. car home still pops up.

other known issues that i think might be connected;

calls are answered with speaker on.

when usb is connected, the notification does not give you the option to mount sd (only in cm7 rc1 n rc2)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackard:
I had this problem and found that the culprit was pocket lint lodged in the phone's usb port--grounding out one or more pins.

I read a post about a guy who made his own car dock cable by grounding pin4, auto-triggering car home, like the real evo car dock, whenever he connected his cable.

I got thinking and grabbed out my jewlers loupe and saw some crud at the base of the usb jack. With the battery removed I got a slender sewing needle and bent the tip slightly with a plires to make an "r" shaped hook.

I gently scraped around the bottom and edges of the usb jack on the phone with the needle and pulled out a years worth of greazy lint crud that literally wedged against the pins, no doubt grounding out one or more of them, thus kicking up the car dock shenanigans. Seriously, a lot of lint.

Once the dock issue showed up, prior to cleaning the jack, the car home app showed up EVery time i plugged in usb.

I havent seen car home nonsense at all since cleaning out the jack.

prior to cleaning i called sprint having read about others doing the same. Without much hassle they sent me a warranty refurb (with 2.3.3 installed) to replace mine,

With a clean jack, i can send them back the refurb and keep mine as is.

hope this helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackard:
So cleaning the USB jack solved the Car Dock app nonsense, that app is no longer popping up. However at present the phone is still defaulting to Speaker Phone ON for outgoing and incoming calls.. Will try reflashing etc later on to see if it has an effect

It's actually a hardware issue. There is a circuit on the EVO board that is fried. Of course sprint won't acknowledge this but have seen it happen on other phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
My circuit board fried, then fixed itself?

I would be interested in where you got this information from.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackard:
Sprint does acknowledge this. I have the same issue and thought i solved it by cleaning the USB jack--not so.

I was just in the sprint store the other day with my faulty phone and after some digging the tech found a bug report titiled something like "speaker phone always on" in their bug database. Recommendations in that bug report were to clean usb leads and if that doesnt solve, replace the phone.

Sprint offered to replace mine without too much hassle and shipped a refurb overnight, but the new phone came with gingnerbread and is therefore unrootable (at the time of this post), so i started looking for another solution--to disalbe the dock features entirely.

I came across the app NoDock, which loads a kernel module that interupts communication between the dock sensor and the OS, preventing the dock & speakerphone shenanigans.

I dug around in adb shell a bit and found the kernel module being loaded by the NoDock app.

Its located in /data/data/com.nothize.free.nodock/files/ and titled "nodockm_2_6_37_4_cyanogenmod_01388_g0374804.ko"

I was able to load this module by hand as SU in adb shell with the following:

#su

#insmod /data/data/com.nothize.free.nodock/files/nodockm_2_6_37_4_cyanogenmod_01388_g0374804.ko

I will work on moving this module out of the NoDock app directory and see if i can get it to load on-boot without needing the timelimited APK. No offense to the app's author, just not interested in a pay to play 'app' that loads simply loads a kernel module that can be loaded with a simple script etc or by hand.

I already sent the gingerbread phone back to sprint and will stick with this solution for the time being.

Hope this helps anyone with similar problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 400757:
Well you're not offending me, you're just thinking in a different way than I'm and (if) you haven't leave any destructive comments about it. :D

What the app worth is really the kernel module.......the app interface however, provides settings that may serve other use cases.

I wrote the kernel module myself, but not ripped off from anything else, so you cannot say that you are not willing to pay for just the "app" that loads the kernel module. In fact, you're paying the novel ideas and the novel kernel module too that took most of the time for the research to make it works for various phones including S2. You can read more if you have visited my website. So if you got the knowledge and skills, as I've already documented how I am doing this, you should be able to write your own kernel module.

The free trial app was a free app a long time ago......until I felt offending by some "free version users". They emailed me for support, they left silly comments, complains and complains out of a reason. I lost my hope to them while the paid users have so much better quality.

And you're lucky to extract the old free trial version....IIRC, the expire has been introduced to the kernel module too since some version. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I had the same issue. Turned out that my issue wasn't a piece of pocket lint in the USB jack (which DOES cause the same issue)....instead it was a bent pin in my charger. I bought a new charger for $3 on Ebay and I have never had the issue since then. Common sense tells you that if you've gone through all avenues of software issues and the problem is still recurring then you need to start looking at physical aspects of the phone. In this case, the device that triggers car home automatically......aka the USB port and anything connected to it.

You know what, my phone started exactly the same thing yesterday lunchtime and it's bloody annoying.

One thing that bugs me is that the headphone volume is now jammed at "very loud" with no way to adjust it.

Likely cause: pins 4 & 5 of the USB port shorted out. I would recommend carefully cleaning the USB port on the phone to see if that helps (it didn't for me).

Unless anyone has a magic solution, mine is going back to stock today and then back to HTC for repair.
