[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoned_out:
Thank you all for your help I've just downgraded to prl 1.77 now ill wait till my batt dies, charge it fully then see what happens
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Would it be safe to charge the batter at 1000mA compared to the stock 700mA the charger provides?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
yes, i do it all the time
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] terje.tel:
I use the charger from the Galaxy Tab all the time, it's rated at 2A and the S does see it as a proper charger. I've not checked, but I also think it charges the phone faster than the stock charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
yes it does

the higher the Amp, the faster it charges

however this is not compatible with all phones

the SGS is a good phone, my Motorola will not charge if you exceed or you are under the original charger spec (which is totally stupid) but i understand it is to protect the phone, from over heating

SNS also accepts higher output chargers
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] johan8:
So can I use this ?

actually it is ipad charger, 5.1V 2.1A output.

On the phnoe label it is printed max~1000mA

but this is 2.1A.....(2100mA)

it seems too high...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
The battery might heat up to a high temp and if done regularly it could very well shorten the life span significantly.. the stock 700mA charger makes the battery warm, Im guessing that 2100mA will make it very hot, but you can try for like 30mins of charging see if thats the case.. if you can just say its warm then I would presume its safe.

700 to 1000mA charging has very little difference on the warmth that i feel from the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] TheBeano:
If you have the International Galaxy S GT-I9000 it won't charge any faster than about 450mA regardless of the charger rating (from my tests). You can get a higher-capacity charger but it won't make any difference and is quite safe so long as the voltage is correct.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
The International Galaxy S I have comes with a 700mA charger though, there is a noticeable charge difference between a USB port (500mA) vs the stock charger (700mA) and my 1000mA charger
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] johan8:
If 2100mA is also supported, the charge time will become in just 43min (in theory).

And if the charge circuit is safe enough, it will control the current to 700~1000mA, and it will drive below 200mA in the beginning of charge.

Just try plugged to my phone, it is charging as USB not AC,

so I think the currect will limit to 500mA.....

will try again later, my battery is still full now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
If theres a 500mA limit why do I get faster charging speeds with the wall charger compared to the USB ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] johan8:
That's the question..

I'm using data cable, so the phone just detect plugged to USB i/o AC power.

maybe I need to use straight miniusb power cord.

Then it will really challenge the phone in 2.1A

On the other hand, IP4 & Ipad can draw 1A from computer USB, (need new motherboard)

what about Galaxy S !?

I will test it later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] johan8:
If the charge time is less than one hour,

you are getting benefit of high current.;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Im not 100% sure but the USB 2.0 specification is 500mA only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] johan8:
Yes I know.

But IP4 and Ipad is also USB2.0
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
In relation to what you said that IP4 and IPxD can draw 1A, thats why I said the USB 2.0 spec is only 500mA so those devices cant draw more than 500mA on a USB port.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] johan8:
IP4 is USB2.0 Device,

plug into high power USB port (that is USB3.0 port)

USB2.0 IP4 can draw over 500mA

I know what you mean, if the source is USB2.0 of course you can't draw higher than 500mA.

My point is, if the device can draw higher than 500mA, just like the usb2.0 IP4,

and if galaxy s can draw that high,

then we can get benefit from the high output usb ports and also that high output usb charger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Haoru44:
Hello everybody,

I want to share my experience.

So I have a Samsung galaxy S, and usually I charged it with the original charger (700mA).

I tried with a 1000mA one. The charger was really faster than with the original one. So I thought that if I buy the galaxy tab's charger (2000mA) it would be faster.

It's what I did. But the problem is that it's not faster with this one than with the 1000mA one.

I think the problem comes from the USB limit of charge (1000mA in a outlet, 500mA on a USB port from a computer).

But I have a problem with this... I mean, the galaxy tab is charged by an USB cable too, even if it's not the same plug out (I don't know the name of this plug out, I know on the galaxy S it's a micro-USB) on the cable, it's still an USB cable. So why this USB cable can give 2000mA while it uses an USB technology ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kingsleyg:
it's definitely faster charging on a 1200 nokia charger..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] almi88:
I can't help myself and I must tell you guys something. The mA of a charger means how much current it can provide in 1 hour, imagine it like a pipe through which only a ammount of watter can pass. Now going back to the phone... We have a 1500mA batt which means that if we use a 25000mA charger it will only output 1500mA... So it is useless to use a more powerfull charger than 1500mA. I hope you understand what I said :-P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mihyes:
That is a 1500mA*h* battery which means capacity and not current.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
The mA, or A on the adapter is only a indication of the maximum output available, this does not mean it will use all available power, the actual unit will limit this to a safe level, i also have a adapter which can output 2000/1000/500, depending on how many usb i use at the sametime.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
We have a 1500mAH battery, if by design it can safely accept any charge rate then by all means if you charge it with 2500mA charger its gonna be full in probably 35mins. The charge rate has nothing to do with the battery capacity.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hi_bye:
Charging is accurately stored by a slow mA charger.

Using a high mA charger will definately charge the battery in much less time (in proportion to battery capacity & the type of charger) but the dissipation rate or the battery drainage is also much faster.

Charge with 500mA and check the battery usage as compated to 1A charged battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Im not saying your wrong but it does not make any sense, do you have links / articles to back this up ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] EarlZ:
Anyone here can confirm if the auto cutoff cuircuit for charging is on the phone or on the charger ?

Im guessing its on the phone but could anyone verify ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] coolbuddyin:
touch screen is unresponsive when using with 5v 1000mA, is it safe to use this kind of chargers?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cmanbrown:
Same thing for me, Samsung Galaxy Vibrant here -- it DOES charge though and the phone app is usable while it's charging but it's pretty annoying....

I got a cheap 1000ma wall charger from mono price and USB 2.0 cable to go with it... can't beat the price but not sure if it is worth it now with the touch screen going dumb.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] coolbuddyin:
when using 1000ma charger its drawing 400ma from plug and when using stock charger its drawing 350ma, i was measuring current by using energenie
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Opteronvoz:
Hello guy,

I just want to give my experience with the captivate (not sure if the i9000 is the same, well I lost my i897 on vacation and now have i9000, that's the reason).

I tried using the g.tab P1000 charger for the i897. It charged really really quickly, from roughly 0% battery [custom kernel allowance and it turned off itself] to 100% did take less than 1 hr. But also the phone was super hot.

I charged it that way for about 1 week [when I was staying at a friend who uses the tab] then I changed back to the HTC 800mA charger [I abandoned the samsung charger as the HTC uses the micro USB cable as the power cord, thus simplifies my travel list a bit].

When I just came home from the galaxy tab house, I felt like the battery didn't last as long as it could but I was busy and stayed in the room for most of my time so the captivate was connected to laptop constantly that I didn't really notice the batt. life reduction.

But during my vacation, I could clearly tell that the battery was affected seriously by the tab charger. Before, it could last 28 hours, so if I unplugged at 7AM, it wouldn't power down itself until roughly 11AM the next day. After that period, it could barely hold up until 11PM the same day, which is just about 16 hour long. That is a significant difference.

But I do feel like the fault is partially from the HTC 800mA charger too as even though it's only 100mA higher than the samsung charger, it was used for nearly 7 months while the tab charger was only used like 5-6 times [during that week].

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sis651:
Hi. My operator provides some free web services such as 0.facebook.com, video news package, video health info package etc.

But when I connect these services I can't use them free! I use them but get charged! With SPB Wireless Monitor I saw that whenever I connect, system named property uses 1 - 2 KB data. This goes out of the operators free link and causes the problem.

I called the customer service of the operator after checking my connection with Microsoft Network Monitor and not finding any thing. I thought there is some web adress Windows M. connects to and this causes the problem and thought I can block it through hosts file. With customer service we checked the connection and that was a UDP and netbios connection.

But I don't have any ingo about these. There are two UDP ports 137 and 138 continually being listened but I can't block them. I tried blocking with Airscanner Firewall but nothing changed. Either I couldn't connect or I connect but not free again...

Do you have any ideas what may be those problem creating services using data connection while I connect and how to block them? I think maybe a ROM without netbios.dll may help. :)

My phone is Samsung Omnia i900 but experienced the same things with my old Toshiba Portégé G500, too. It is impossible for me to use free web services with Windows Mobile. :)

can somone give me a start to finish guide to installing MDj's latest 10.3 kernel. I dont believe its an update.zip, and it has some ADB files and an installer in it, however i'm not sure where to start, whether i need to be in CWM, or MAGLDR?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] javolin13:
anyone know?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
To install Kernels just boot your phone up as normal, then run the install.bat and make sure you have ADB set up properly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] javolin13:
ran it, it mounts fine but states no files exist..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DHARQAXIAN:
Your fone has to be connected to your PC in < Charge O nly > mode

go to your dos box ( type cmd in the run option in WinXP or type cmd in the search option in Vista or Win7 )

CD to kernel dir ( Find the place where you extracted the kernel ) and run install.bat

If you still get error - google the error or search the forums, but what I have jus informed you off worked for me on a Euro HD2.

I've been having a hard time trying to get a rom to stick. I've tried Mikfroyo 4.3 and have gotten it to flash and everything seems to be working well until i have to restart my phone, then it just hangs at the white htc screen. i can pull the battery and recover a previous nandroid that is just rooted stock and everything works fine. i also tried to flash warm 2.2 and it didnt even get started. it hung at the white htc screen from the start.

from searches i've done, people seem to be able to fix this using amon instead of clockwork but im afraid to try it. i have a working nandroid and i dont want to mess that up. is there a way you guys would suggest doing this? is this even my problem? im pretty new to this, so any help is much appreciated. all of you guys are awesome.

i think that is the splash screen.

its white and says HTC EVO 4G. its the screen right before the boot animation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nefariouss:
Just flash it through rom manager. You want be able to use any nandroid created with clockwork though. But there is no problem changing recoveries.

Ps: you could always change recoveries while in bootloader to get back to clockwork to use your nandroid. However you shouldn't have a problem with ar. I never have, just remember to wipe and wipe again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jxr94:
Nothing bad will happen if you switch to amonRA, just don't restore clockwork backups with amonRA, or you will have the world's first 4G paperweight! (brick your phone)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glassjaw99:
alright, so just go ahead and do it through rom manager?

so do you guys think clockwork is the problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shogun26:
Right, *raises hand* so, why exactly does restoring CW backups with amonRA brick my phone?

Don't they both use nandroid to make the backup?

Mind you, I did exactly what you just advised against last week, just to see if it worked, and it did.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nefariouss:
Could be, or it might not be. No harm in using ar and flashing a new rom. Use titanium backup on your good nandroid to back up your apps. Makes flashing roms a lot less painful.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
EDIT: Well, some will say this effort had no impact, others will not be so naive and realize the voices of MANY of you were heard. Really applaud everyone... regardless if it helped or not, Samsung has stated that they have heard us AND that it's something they are not used to, but will make an effort... I feel like this is success.

OTA should start tomorrow. Source should be released very shortly after that:

THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING!!!

For those not certain why this thread was created: PLEASE READ

--------------------------------INITIAL POST BELOW------------------------

I generally remain calm and try and remain upbeat and defend... but the news (rumor/leak) about Samsung holding off the froyo release to sell more phones set me over the edge.

While nothing is confirmed, I still believe Samsung needs to be aware of just how pissed they are making our community. I'm not talking stupid class action, blah blah... I simply want our voice heard, and for a Froyo release to happen ASAP... but beyond that, I want them to adhere to the Open Handset Alliance and release their source for our developers.

http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/

I believe we all now who is going to put out a better product, and right now they (our developers) are handicapped because they do not have everything they need.

That said, we need to be organized!

We need twitter to trend AND we need to spread it all over Facebook! I am ignorant and have no interest in learning Facebook. I know the majority of you use it daily so I am going to rely on you guys for that!

To do this on twitter, we all need to use the same #hashtag. We also need to threaten something that means something to them... the whole problem is they are not updating to help with their sales (allegedly). Well,

we need to threaten to never buy Samsung again

.

Please use this #Hashtag:

#NeverAgain

would work.... it is easy to use, short and to the point.

An example:

(just copy/paste this if you like)

OR (thanks to @JunkDruggler):

You need to tweet:

[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
I would never ever imagine this coming from you but you actually did a pretty good thread. I don't think it would make diffrence, people aren't going to follow up, XDA is a small portion of all samsung phones.

Like someone said samsung is known for their eletronics that are release as is, no follow up update. As big as they are they become greedy. Its a company out out for money, "making a new phone with new software" will get the most sales.

If they give us froyo now it will drop their new phone sales dramactecly (spelling). Because an old phone will be cheaper then a new phone The vibrant 4G isnt really a big update besides the FFC and HSPA+. Thereby the orignal vibrant.will get.bought.

Another thing to think about is when the vibrant 4G/plus gets out we will not get froyo right away, maybe a month after.

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I agree... but we NEED to try.
[Vibrant General] marsupial99:
Was thinking. Why don't we expand this and start posting bad reviews for Samsung products on amazon and other online retailers? Should warn potential customers about what they are getting into if they buy Samsung products. Anybody got amazon account? Tiger Direct? Bet we would be more noticed...
[Vibrant General] kobesabi:
Then they should come clean and make it as an option for those users who willing to pay for the update from Samsung (the minor add-ons that got modified on top of opensource code).

Good idea, I'll do that too.

Don't forget these:

TigerDirect, NewEgg, Pricegrabber, CNET, CDW, Amazon, Google Shopper, Wirefly, Letstalk, Bestbuy
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
this is a very good idea. we need this to make it happen.

If we put a bad review at samsung's website, will it be there? because all i see there are good reviews.
[Vibrant General] kobesabi:
They probably can weed those at their site, but not at other site such as Amazon, Pricegrabber, CNET...

I tried multiple times and my review gets deleted every time.

Here is my review:

Could be very good phone phone but broken GPS, missing Froyo in 2010, and lack of support from Samsung make this phone a complete failure.

JI6 update, released to fix GPS - another failure.

GPS Restore by Samsung blaming consumers for broken GPS while not fixing anything and broken by itself - yet another failure.

Missing, but promised by the end of 2010, Froyo update - lies and failure again.
