[Galaxy Spica General] ManuChaos:
Hi,

I have bought a a Simlock free Spica at ebay; Austria.

First start works good, Wlan works perfect.

But if i put my SIm Card in it it says no service.

I've checked it with a cheat code and it is unlooked

The IMEI is complete and the same as on the back of the Spica.

i made a factory rest, two time.

But still no service.

I've contact the seller, he told me that the Device is working for one year with an Orange and a 3 SIM, he had never problems with it.

It has the FW 2.1

PDA: I570EXXJF2

Phone: I570EXXJD1

CSC: I570EOXEJF1

That will be ok, i thought.

I have tested the spica with a Simyo Sim and an over a year old O2 SIM.

Both tell me it is a O2 or a Simyo Card, but no service.

Ah, as i left the simyo card over night in the spica, the nitofication bar tolde me Unregistered SIM.

Please Help me,

i'm new to android and i need theis phone :(

PS Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy Spica General] Spoetnicus:
It seems that the phone is sim-locked.

And that only Orange-Sim-cards work on the phone.
[Galaxy Spica General] ManuChaos:
Can not be, cause if i checked it with

*#7465625# = Check the locks

it say no locks.

Network lock

Subset lock

SP lock

CP lock

off
[Galaxy Spica General] jayol:
trying to change yout sim card ?

if doesn't work, try to update your spica to samdroid mod.
[Galaxy Spica General] Knuffibaer:
I had a similar problem on a Samsung 5230 phone when i was in Thailand. It did not recognice the network what ever I did. Restart did not work.

What i did is:

1) Take the battery out of the phone.

2) Take the sim card out of the phone.

3) Start the phone without the sim card.

4) Switch off the phone normally.

5) Take out the battery

6) Put in the sim card you want to use

7) Put in the battery.

8) Power up the phone again and pray. :D

My fascinate is rooted, cwmod recovery, on DJ05 with JT's Superclean 0.9. If the OTA that people have been talking about comes out, will it brick my phone? I'm a little worried but advice would be helpful. Basically, what should I do?
[Fascinate General] knipp21:
If its like ny phone, you have to accept the ota...don't Di that because you will lose root...so just just install the ota
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
first...please post this in general....

If you would like to keep root I would recommend waiting for the devs to repackage the update...don't install any system updates unless you are 100% stock is kinda my rule of thumb...
[Fascinate General] destroyerbmx:
if its something I really want that second I will flash to stock and install and re-root myself, then wait until xda has a package download and I will install that. I used to think I would do that for 2.2, but all the guys working on 2.3 I might just wait for that.
[Fascinate General] Juno_Reactor:
*Disable voodoo if you're using it.

1. Make nandroid backup for your current rom, unless you wanna dump it

2. wipe cache from partition and wipe dalvik cache in CWM Recovery

3. odin flash DI01 modem.

4. odin flash stock kernel with pit file

5. load your stock nandroid from CWM Recovery

6. unroot your phone.

I try open all CGs for see the files, but i only know to open CG39 and some more..

sudo mount -o loop CG.39.smg CG39

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext... 2.2 (Latest)/ext2explore-2.2.71.zip/download

It will allow you opening ext3 images inside Windows
[Defy Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
^very good idea
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
so now i can see files on cg39.smg using ext2reader but the thing is now how to get system image from cg39.smg to system.img ??
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
System.img to be restored with Nandroid? If yes you have to extract all files with ext2reader then use mkyaffs2image to build system.img.
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
with mkyaffs2image its jus showing me a cmd windows for some less thn 1 sec and its jus goes away...please upload the version you are using...also let me know if it needs any prerequisite software to be installed.
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
It's because mkyaffs2image is a command line app, just like in the DOS days... To use it you should open a cmd window (type cmd at Windows menu and press enter), go to the directory right before the one you extracted files (you use cd "dirname" to enter in a directory and "cd .." to leave it. So when you are in the directory right before the one in which you've extracted files type "mkyaffs2image CG39extracteddir system.img"
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
oh , ok.. its working..thanks :)
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
ok last doubt...after creating system.img can it be restored via custom recovery..??

how to add md5 check sums for that so that custom recovery can identify as proper nandorid..!!??
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
You welcome! :)

Sure you can use it with nandroid, you must download md5sum.exe, place it together with mkyaffs2image, after you used mkyaffs2image then type "md5sum system.img" and it will generate checksum. Create a file called "nandroid.md5" and paste what md5sum returned. You can open a nandroid.md5 file of another backup and you'll understand better how it's done..
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
excellent..i got it
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
@danimagrin help me how to add root files if our cg39 image is unrooted..??

ie how to manually add root files from some rooted cg39 image to some non rooted original image..which files and folders are required to add/replace..?? ne thoughts..
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
I know how to do it on Linux, because you've to run chmod and chown to set su and Superuser.apk permissions. I'll see if it's possible to do it inside Windows and I'll answer you asap.

Where did you get mkyaffs2image for Windows? Are you running it with -f flag or not? Have you already made an image and restored it and did it really work? I'm afraid if will not work because of the same problem above...
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
yes i have made an system.img with md5 nandroid check sum...but still not restored with CWM Recovery...yeah mkyaffs2image works on windows...find out in the attached IMG depacker

[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
Just wondering if any SAMOLED screens are getting pixel problems.

I had a pixel turn to green towards the end of the first day. Replacement is gonna be a *****, but just curious about two things.

1. How long should one play around with the screen turned on to know he won't have any more pixel problems?

2. Do those rapid color videos work on SAMOLED screens? Do they work on any screens? I've never had'em work on LCD's.
[Windows Phone 7 General] skycamefalling:
1. I'd say, within one week the faulty pixels will show themselves.

2.No, forget them. They do not work. Sometimes the pixel will work for a while but it won't last.

If you have a faulty pixel I would return the phone immediately.

For what it's worth, my Omnia7 doesn't have any dead or faulty pixels.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CreepinJesus:
Mine neither... so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bo$s:
So what's the purpose of this thread?

On 2.2 and 2.1 Android versions after installing of any app there were created:

- /data/app/<package_name>.apk - main file

- /data/data/<package_name>/ - folder with app data, libs, settings etc.

- /data/dalvik-cache/data@app@<package_name>.dex - dalvik-cache file

After deinstalation with bulit-in uninstaller all files and folders where removed so phone was clean after deinstallation huge number of apps.

Now, on 2.2.1 after installing any app there are created:

- /data/app/<package_name>.apk - main file

- /data/data/<package_name>/ - folder with app data, libs, etc.

- /data/dalvik-cache/data@app@<package_name>.dex - dalvik-cache file

- /dbdata/databases/<package_name>/ - folder with app settings, AFAIK it's created on first app usage.

Samsung changed this to remove lag (dbdata is faster than data). After deinstallation last folder

isn't removed

! Samsung developers forgot to change uninstaller, in result we have a lot of unneeded folders in /dbdata/databases/ after deinstallation of apps.

Ane ideas how to fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wummi:
i noticed this too. sadly i dont know how to fix it, other than manually delete the leftovers :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
yep confirmed.. just went in with root explorer and deleted a couple of things i have deleted from the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
Well one simple solution is to create a simple listview uninstaller that calls pm uninstall on the package plus delete's the package name from the /dbdata partition

Or better yet, find an open source uninstaller and modify that
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BaggyBizzle:
Just to air my frustrations about the I9000. I have had this handset since it was released and its time to get rid.

I have been very patient with firmware updates and such....and it packs some brilliant hardware in theory but it just does not cut the mustard. I had the I8000 (Omnia 2) prior to this phone and it was exactly the same (except windows OS) because every time samsung brought out a new firmware it was still littered with bugs.

I know people Root their Handsets (I have done all the hacks and speedmods,etc) and rave about the speeds customisation,etc but i still get FCs and apps resetting themselves to default every so often with or without modding.

For example today i had no music showing in my music player but thought oh well....wait......wait. It appeared 10 minutes later. Recorded a video...or so i thought but nothing was saved. The Ringtones i have set are gone and i have to go through everything from scratch. This happens randomly maybe a few times a month. There is always something wrong somewhere and then i have to boot the I9000 down.....Everything is then fine for a while but always raises its ugly head at some point........WTF.

Now i hate to say it but i find myself drawn more and more to the iphone but feel like cutting my hands off or committing suicide for thinking these thoughts...they are blasphemous. I cannot help it though because i have grown to dislike the galaxy s and do not know any other handset that reviews say are better. :(:(:( Maybe its just the Android OS being generic and having to cater for a million different models of handset but surely then this is samsungs fault for not incorporating universal fixes.

If you read this and are deciding to get the galaxy s i would advise not to..... wait for something better now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
Well I have to say that JPY is a very decent firmware. I didn't have any major issue with it, it's fast (without any kind of lag fix) and it's stable . I rooted my SGS and got rid off Samsung's bloatware and I really like the phone now.

There's only two things that bother me, but it has nothing to do with software: I hate speaker position (international version) and also lack of flash/light.

So maybe you should buy a W7 or Symbian phone.

I don't know what to say to you, except you're doing something wrong if you're getting so many FC.

About the ringtones: I've experienced this problem when I deleted thumbnails from gallery (DCIM/thumbnails), at least I think it was because of that. Rebooted the phone and didn't delete the folder since then and never got the issue again.

So I would still recommend this phone, but it still depends on the person who gets it and for how much money.

Peace out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] diehard2222:
dude ur phone has a virus. mine had one too exactly the same symptoms as your phone. did a reflash of 2.2 + factory reset phone is working like a charm now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fablife:
Im with the original OP. Way too many issues to deal with - I love what the device has to offer - but if I have to worry everytime go I to turn it on if it will work - its not worth it.

If I could have my SGS with the dependability and build quality of an HTC - that would be perfect (I use HTC as an example because all of the ones I have owned have been solid devices).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BaggyBizzle:
Yeah thanks opica.....should mention that only really get FCs with some apps that are obviously on the market but not meant for or tested properly on this handset...... overall i should clarify i dont get that many at all. Its mostly just the other things i have experienced such as recording a video and then the handset telling me that the MP4 file is unsupported, i reboot it still does not work so i record another video...this is also an mp4 file and plays. Its just **** like that constantly. I am on JPY but even that firmware gets confused every so often. Like i said i have had 2 samsung phones now both were flagship models at the time but both have fallen short because something this hyped should be the dogs bollocks. But they are not. Whoever says otherwise is kidding themselves IMO.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kenneth131:
guys I totally sympathise because I have the voda 16GB SGS and it is fu**ing awful SW im not kidding Eg bbc news app takes about 3 mins to load plus it feezes up all the time to the point where it is unusable. I am unable to answer calls as it just shows the answer call screen but the screen is frozen and this is on the official 2.2 updated from sammy after a reset AHHHHH

However after speaking to and getting no where with samsung i decided i had a phone thats unusable and samsung are not doing a thing so my options were sell it and get an IP4 followed by shotgun insertion to mouth or just bite the bullet and flash a custom rom

WOW I installed darkys v8.0 and its is like a whole new phone that bbc news app now loads instantly no freezing no lagging no issues at all so far. Well besides battery life since I cant put the thing down now. Even WiFi connects in a second now. So amazing work by Darky and team.

Im not promoting this rom go choose our own but im just telling you guys i was in the same boat and now i love the SGS if your out of options and you love the hardware get a new rom.

Someone once said "buy a phone for its hardware capabilities then customize the SW to your specifications, then you will have your perfect phone"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigmo7:
Flash a custom FW? As someone else said, Darky's is a fine one to try.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
Exactly... There is loads of custom ROMs posted here on xda.

I had a feeling that the software will be pretty ****ty at the beginning, but I kinda hoped that some decent custom rom will come out, if samsung wasn't able to build one.

My first choice would be nitr0's Insanity, but when JPY came out, it was good enough for me.

Again, I have NO problems now when I sorted everything out, it's merely playing with the looks of the desktop:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bsamurai:
Give Darky's V8.0 a try

obviously the HTC based ones have sense and cyan does not (so different email clients) but so far the Revolution HD seems to be the only one that supports multiple activesync accounts out of the ones that I have tried.

"Can't open /sdcard/... to play"​

Thanks,

[Nook Color General] carguy88:
Hmm... I've tried it from the internal memory, but not from the SD card. This works fine for me. You may need to move the video to internal memory (using Astro or Linda file manager) and then play it. This may also be a good idea because the internal memory is likely faster. It's an extra step to move it to the internal memory and back when you're done, but it works for me.

Thanks. But I tried the internal memory first. I only went to the sdcard after reading somewhere that rockplayer wouldn't play things off the internal.
