Your kidding right? For most of our overnight field trips, especially the out of state ones, we are required to bring a cell phone with us. They will not let you go if you do not have the ability to carry a cellphone on person at all times... When you are on a week long field trip, and often times are traveling a city by yourself, you need a cell phone. When I went no Nashville for my FBLA competition, I was taking the buses and traveling around the city to get to wherever I needed to be, sometimes as late as 10 PM. I feel like it is important to have the ability to navigate around the city, or whatever.

Your cousin's parents also sound like overly traditional old people...

[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
I think this is different from the random reboot issues in the other threads.

I decided to wipe/reset (data and system) my Nook and start over from scratch with a fresh auto-nooter root.

All went well again. Except that occassionally the "Turn off NOOKcolor" screen just pops up out of the blue. I didn't press the button, my fingers was no where near it. And even though I don't even touch the "Power off" choice, it just continues the shutdown.

This is happening a lot. While surfing in Dolphin, browsing the Market, playing a game.

Not much is even installed.
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
Haha. I figured it out. My Nook has a hardware defect. If I shake it, the screen flashes on and off and brings up the power down screen.
[Nook Color General] Tim J:
Randomly powering off

My Nook color is randomly shutting itself down also. It appears to be a glitch with the power button because I get the message on screen to verify shut down or cancel. It just shuts down a few seconds later. I have done a complete wipe and reset which has not fixed the issue. I too believe this is a hardware issue, but am not 100% sure.

If I try to return the Nook after I do a complete wipe and reset to factory condition will there be any evidence that I have rooted the device?
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
Not sure. I bought my Nook at Walmart and returned it there. They didn't even turn it on.

Replacement working fine so far.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
I built a new zImage off the Eclair I5800XXJK1 rom. I assumed it was the best, but if I'm mistaken please tell me =) Though, the zImage should work on other Eclair roms too. I flashed it on my Froyo JPA/JPB hybrid.. Phone boots, but it is very broken.

I included:

- Ext2

- Ext3

- Ext4

- JFS

- CIFS (no module needed)

- Tun (no module needed)

*** I have only partially tested this (on Froyo for fun). Do so at your own risk. ***

I used the factoryfs.rfs, cache.rfs and initramfs right from JK1. No changes.

I'm not including boot.bin, Sbl.bin, or modem.bin to eliminate the chances of bricking your phone. I still cannot be held liable for anything happening to your phone.

If you don't know what to do with this file, then you probably shouldn't be modifying your phone.

(UPDATED) Download from here: http://www.multiupload.com/9QBAZ34454 pass: precurse

Kernel only is posted here: http://www.multiupload.com/E5TM4XWAKF pass: precurse

- Use this if you already have JK1 on your phone, or already have the main files for JK1. Flash a stock JK1 first, and this after.

If people find this works for them and want an ext2 or 4 setup for /data and/or /system, then I may be able to set that up for them.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Ext4 for data would be great man i have to test that kernel but it makes no sense if there is no use of those filesystems. I know it should now be possible to use the loop lagfix, but why doing this if one could get the real thing... there will not be that much quadrant boost using ext4 than using loop, but the smoothness of the system will vastly improve i think
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
The zImage works... It boots up my hybrid phone. But it's not a good idea to boot Eclair kernel/initramfs with Froyo userland =) All the services started dying on me, but it still did boot nontheless (good sign).

If people actually start using it, then I can probably remove a lot of crap in there (ext3 and jfs mainly). If there's no interest for this rom, then I won't continue it.

It sucks that we need to decide between a nice filesystem with 2.1, versus a newer (albeit beta) 2.2 OS ... I still haven't decided.

Though, I'm picking up a Galaxy S i9000 tomorrow. Trading an iPhone 3G and some cash for one =)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] god_md5:
oh!we can't find other power user like you

if the office 2.2 froyo is out ,can you make a zimage.tar with ext2-4 initramfs

and make a update.zip to change all partitions to ext2-4

like z4mod.

hybrid system is useless yet.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
I will flash it to my gf's g3 asap, to test how it behaves, but without having a ext4 partition it makes not much sense...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
I agree. But once we know this setup works, then it's really easy to change the initramfs to something that will load up ext4 partitions for /data and /cache pretty easily.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Ok, problem is my gf left her g3 at a friends house on new year, and will only pick it up later today, so in the evening i will be able to test this...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
If only I hadn't recently bought a Galaxy S, I would surely try this on my Galaxy 3..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
I just got a Galaxy S today - too good of a deal to pass up.... And that screen, wow....

The community for that phone seems a lot more established unfortunately. I was having some high hopes for the G3, but I don't think the development will be nearly as close to that of the SGS..

I might keep the G3 for a while to tinker with it though..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Yeah, looking at my G3 after the SGS is horrible.. :p I'll be giving the G3 to my Dad.

Yeah, the SGS community is very well established. I didn't use the stock ROM on the SGS except when it was getting charged the first time. Soon as it got charged, I put a custom ROM over it.. :D (Darky's Gingerbread Edition ROM).

Hopefully, the G3 will see development like the Spica i5700, but right now the future's not looking so bright..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
Hm, to bad, the g3 lost one of the most promising guys with you...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Techie87:
Indeed, I totally agree with you ...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Well, there is one question: How did you build that file ? :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
ok, tested the kernel on jk1 firmware (flashed only the zimage) and works as intended, got no idea how to test ext4 support...

edit: seems like cifs is not working like intended, do i need to insmod?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
You shouldn't need to insmod. I compiled it statically into the kernel (as with tun):

CONFIG_CIFS=y

CONFIG_TUN=y

I might have to research into that a little further.

Can you do an uname -apm and tell me the output?

Thanks

Sorry to hear that. I sure hope I left enough of a paper tail to let others research and take off with this. I'm too much of a power user to be held back - I have a feeling Froyo will be the only update (and last) for the G3 unfortunately, while the SGS is closely tied with the Nexus S so the updates should continue (Gingerbread is already out for it).

I'm not going anywhere at this moment in time. My next school semester starts up again right away anyways, so I wouldn't have had the same amount of time either way to contribute as much as I have been.

If there's anything unclear with the work I've posted - feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help spread whatever knowledge I have of this to you guys. I've sent Gsam information about how to build the eclair kernels, so if anyone else feels that they want to as well let me know.

If we could convert the data partition to ext4 without a loop device that would be awesome and i guess attract some users... however it should also be seen as a foundation of future lagfix technology for froyo also...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Klamer.S:
As we can built a 2.1 kernel, how much effort will it take to built a 2.2 kernel?

I can imagine that since we seem to have all in source we should be able to rebuilt a 2.2 kernel??? :confused:

Or are there kernel parts right now not available in source?

If we can built a custom 2.2 kernel we can plug that into the jpa/b/f roms and have best from both worlds... :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
There are too many changes in the Android source code on the 2.1-eclair branch to simply copy+paste over to 2.2..

I tried building something with the source code from the Samsung Galaxy S (which I now own), but there are too many specific changes for that particular processor.

Considering Froyo will be out soon enough, I doubt anyone really wants to invest all that much time into trying to get a semi-working 2.2 source tree for the Galaxy3 =)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
we got the first report on german forum that a user got his g3 from service with jpf on it, so lets open fire on http://opensource.samsung.com/ to get the source code...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Gsam101:
Well, I think we should try with 2.6.35 kernel, since our phone's processor is in Linux mainline.. So that means we could find the way to compile a kernel with the drivers (and build an AOSP Android ? But that would need some work since we have no source for many things needed (I just gave a look at Cyanomodgen from GS, they use many many sasmsung binaries on it..) ..).

And yeah, I've try with i5510 sources, i9000 sources, and that didn't work well, at all.

Happy new Year to everybody!!! :)

I'm having a strange battery drain issue with my phone...

Since I flash Darky's v7.6 I start having this problem-maximum 14 hours battery life without playing or using heavy apps:mad:

Before I get 26-30 hours in the same use

I flash 7.7 (both wipe and no-wipe) but problem stays.

Factory reset for sure 6 times until now.

Change kernel to Speedmode but the same

Battery calibration been done more than 10 times without result.

I flash v7.0 now and still having the same isue!!!

It's very annoying:mad:

Can anyone help me please?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tsinc:
Happy New Year!

I've had JPU, JPX and now JPY. Somewhere in between I had XWJPH which is the official 2.2 for my device (HKDCOS). The 2.2.1 firmwares have almost the same battery life as the official 2.2 while being much much faster. They all have more bat drain than my eclairs (JM2, JM9) but not dramaticaly. I can make 40-48 hours on 2.2.1 normal use, and I did 48-60 hours on eclair. I think it has to do with what apps you use. Do you have battery stats?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mparmpa-Nikos:
Ρε ΠΑΟΚτσάκι άρρωστο από την Κρήτη,εσύ είσαι;:)

O.K. let's see...

Last night I let it charge untill the "100% charged notification" sounds.

Unplug charger,wait 30-40secs and plug it again.In order to be sure for maximum charge depentless battery icon.

I forgot to deactivate wi-fi(although I think energy consumption is the same) and 10hours later battery icon shows 93%.

Battery stats was almost zero,exept Wi-Fi On(99.9%) and Wi-Fi Running(99.9%)

I thought "desent amount of energy consumption" and then I only used the browser for 15'-20' and battery icon dropted from 93% to 88%!!!

2 days ago,I installed autokiller in order to switch off background apps-just in case that any of my installed apps consumes energy.No result at all....

_JKay_@ I'm running over JPY for over 2 weeks and had completly no prob at all-just as tsinc sais,I manage to get more than 24H in normal usage

Problem started since 7.6 Darky's been flashed

Then,I flashed 7.7 no-wipe,7.7 wipe,7.0,7.5 and still no problem solved...

And I get tired from continuesly tries of re-customize of my Galaxy:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GuestK0097:
Samsung have changed the WiFi driver for the 2.2.1 Firmwares. As I was on the JPY I had this huge battery drain too. So I decide to take WiFi driver from JPA. They work but I have first to test if this really give me less power drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tsinc:
Όχι φίλε αλλά δεν πειράζει :cool:

I'm not using Wifi cause I have an "unlimited" (=3GB) data plan. Wifi drains a lot on 2.2.1. I think "hardcore" or somebody started a thread about it.

The usage is the same as it was on my other SGS, music, movies, internet, mail, messenger, calls etc.

Not sure its possible.

I know they've been trying to do the same thing for ages on the N1, without much success. However, can't really be certain as I don't know much about the FM chip they used on the MT4G.

Also, seeing as the antenna for the FM is built onto the headphones, they'd probably be needed for transmitting FM as well as receiving.

Your best bet would probably be to get on of those FM transmitters that hook into your headphone jack and transmit them that way. I'll warn you though, the cheaper ones generally tend to sound HORRIBLE, and even the expensive ones are hit and miss.

OK, I was on CM rom and was getting ready to flash over to Fresh rom. I went to clockwork and wiped cache and dalvik. Long story short it didn't work, kept getting reboots cause of clockwork recovery not wiping dalvik correctly....blah blah blah. I flashed back to CM rom, went into root explorer and mount r/w, went to the dalvik-cache folder and deleted it. This worked in the past. Problem began here. I went to the sd card and deleted that dalvik-cache folder. I went back to flash the Fresh nand. Now, it reboots into the rom, but my usb is not recognized and the sd card won't mount. This creates a reboot of the OS in about 30 seconds (I suppose cause it is looking for the data from the sd card and its not mounted so it reboots). I have tried wiping numerous times, I tried going to recovery and "clear storage", I tried factory reset. Nothing works. I still reboot to the Fresh rom now and it just reboots time after time within about 30 seconds of unlocking the home screen. What do I do to fix this? There is a fix out there for sd card mounting and usb through adb and sdk tools. I can't figure it out. First off, there isn't a driver to recognize my phone when I connect it. HELP!!!!!

I tried terminal emulator but my phone doesn't stay booted for long enough to get all the adb commands in there before it reboots. So this rules out the USB fix. Without the USB connecting I can't connect to it to fix the SD card. Catch twenty two. HELP!!!!!

you may find satellites fast but from a so called "cold start" it takes up to 10 minutes to lock onto several satellites before it can calculate your position. this should change when you use it more often in the same location. you may then also set it to "hot start" - see SGStools app - GPS service menu - or search the GPS forums here. good luck
