[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiechu:
Hi forum

I have a very unusual problem with SGS. Well, from the beginning.

My mobile operator, has given me the SGS (with Android 2.2).

So I decided to upgrade to version 2.2.1, possibly Cyanomod / draky's. I plugged the phone to the PC and step by step according to the tutorial:

- downloaded Odin3 1.7

- pitting 512

- Keis with drivers

- And of course the latest 2.2.1 I9000XWJS3

Fleshed this soft thanks odin. Telephone, everything installed, Odin wrote "PASS" and there was a reboot. There was a samsung logo and then black screen and light vibration from time to time. Zero response.

I learned about the "Recovery Mode " did reset the cache, etc. Reboot ... NOTHING. So stweirdziłem that you need to return to the previous firmware ... Now all my flash's finished in the same way: a black screen and a slight vibration.

I tried reaaaaly a lot of versions and nothing. I tried it once cyanonmod, darky's mod. And nothing. Somewhere on this forum, I found versions: Froyo (2.2) That does not bricks. Worked.

But, this is the ONLY version that can be installed and running.

But it is not so big problem. The problem arises when I put the SIM card. Phone lying on the table (in a place where I always had coverage in other phones) to lose coverage. To one or zero bars. Neither I can not get anywhere else, nor to call me you can not reach you.

But when I stretch out my SIM card, coverage remains. At least in the form of dashes. Of course, nowhere is this possible calling, but the phone displays one or sometimes four lines.

My question:

Could this be the fault of soft? What should I do if I can not change it? Return to factory settings is not possible because they get a black screen and a slight vibration. I have tried:

- changing soft to 2.2.1

- 3 button recovery

- flashed with the kernel

- w8 for over an hour! to give SGS time to install everything right

- reupdating soft for hundreds ways

- read all FAQs on forums...

I didn't "root"

althou I tried to ":update.zip" in recovery mode but it gives only new errors.

Anyone have any idea? Or I am doomed for Samsung service?

thx ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiechu:
And how about getting back to factory soft. I mean, the soft that come to me with the new phone?

Or these soft has been overwritten by the all flashe's I tried to install, and is unbeckupable?

maybe this will solve the signal problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiechu:
thx, I will try it tooday
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You will have to continue and flash the stock rom 2,2,1 as per the posted link .

Sim card have you checked it works on another phone .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiechu:
Yes SIM card is working perfectly on another iphone 3gs and nokia c5-00.

Now I don't have time to do all these steps, but tomorrow I will contact my operator to service it or maybe change to new one.

And do you think the signal problem might be the soft foulty? I think it is somenthink more...

And thank you for all the help. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sW333t11:
Im starting this thread because i honestly cannot find an explanation of mA's anywhere else. I have abnormally high mA usage (according to my batter monitor widget) around 300-400 when the screen is on. What exactly does the mA mean so i can try and kill the app draining my battery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
mA is milli Amps, it's how much power your phone is using at that time. WiFi, 3G, your screen, your screens brightness, your CPU speed, bluetooth, etc all add to that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
That isn't high usage if your screen is on, that would be about normal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
mA is not a unit of power; a watt is the proper unit of power. However, mA's or amps, are used to compute power.

In the water hole analogy,

voltage (measured in volts) is the water pressure

amperage (measured in amps) is the size of the water outlet

watts (volts x amps) is the resultant volume of water exiting per unit time.

In the context of your phone, depending on load, more or less current is consumed or drawn.

Google ohms law for more info.

Edit, an example, a 100 watt light bulb consumes .833 amps of current at a voltage of 120V. 7.5 of these light bulbs consume approximately an equivalent amount of power as produced by 1 hp (ie, 1hp = 746 watts).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BillTheCat:
Hope someone can recommend a Desire build that will address my volume issue. On my handset the call volume is so loud, it's actually damaged the earpiece. I started with Cotulla's build, now I'm running PRJ's. Using radio 2.15.50.14 on my euro (Telstra) HD2.

If this is just a problem with any Desire build, feel free to recommend another (evo?). I'm more concerned about hardware functionality (call volume and GPS lock) than built in apps.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] helldvl:
I had the battery depleting rapidly after I upgraded my phone to froyo, and just a few days ago I bricked my phone and had to go back to eclair and then I noticed much improved battery life, so I hope this works for you:

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

1. Flash to your original eclair firmware, or any eclair frimware that's known to have good battery life

2. as for why eclair, just to use the 2e recovery to flash directly to the custom rom of your choice, and I honestly think that the stock eclair is better in performance and battery, as they seem to have rushed the froyo update.personally, I use darky's 8.1 no-wipe rom after installing the 8.0 wipe version.

enjoy, and give me your feedback plz :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] windstate:
Hi, I have just got a new desire z. My old phone is the plain htc desire (without keyboard). I only got the z because I wanted the keyboard.

My question: how can I transfer all of my settings and apps from my old desire onto the new desire z. I dont really want to have to download all the apps again and have to spend ages doing the settings again. Plus I like my 7 home pages the way I already have them.

I've tried looking in both phones for how to do this. All I can find in the desire z is a transfer data app, but this only transfers my contacts. I remember being asked by my old phone when I first had it whether I wanted to store a backup of my information on the sd card or something, which I declined.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] Futant:
If you are rooted you can use Titanium Backup. If not I am not sure how else you would do it. Perhaps someone else will know.

That backup option that you opted out of was google's app backup service through the marketplace. If you had checked it, when you turn on your new phone and sign into your google account it would DL all of you apps from the market for you, but it does not preserve app settings (App data).
[G2 and Desire Z General] windstate:
Not sure what you mean by rooted. I have an unbranded handset with no logo and no network specific bloatware
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
You can root your phone using the guide in the Wiki. Rooting if where you gain access to the admin user, called "root".

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z General] windstate:
Doesn't rooting delete all data on the handset? Would I need to root both handsets or just the new one?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Futant:
The act of rooting a phone does not alter anything other than the permissions you have in relation to the file system of the phone. The only thing altered in the process are files and settings that allow you to have expanded permissions in the file system, so no rooting your phone will not delete all of your data.
[G2 and Desire Z General] windstate:
So do I need to root both phones or just the old one?

How do I make a wallpaper completely fit the screen of a Desire HD ????
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] phunkycow:
Select the desired image for your wallpaper. Touch the orange rectangle and move it to the top left corner of the picture. Then grab and slide the bottom right corner of the rectangle, to fill the picture.

And if this doesn't make any sense at all, download "wallpaper set and save" from the market. :p

Try to make a 800*960 wallpaper then use phunkycow's method to set wallpaper..

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] elessarelfstar:
Is there any kind of app of theme procedure that can be used to replace the nook menu button with a soft home key? That would be great, since the nook hard button is stiff and loud.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fprice02:
Search for Softkeys. Or did you mean physically changing the clicker under the N button?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] elessarelfstar:
Yeah, I meant replace the actual nook button on the notification bar. I've done soft keys and settled on button savor and clutch for soft buttons, but I would love what I mentioned in the first post.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
It would be a framework change, and I suspect most people are looking forward to moving towards 2.2/2.3 custom roms, not more band-aids for the B&N ROM.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] elessarelfstar:
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too. Until then I would be satisfied enough with getting rid of the nook menu key all together (or just making it do nothing when it gets tapped), since it pops up when typing.

I know that it is a framework change, but I can't figure out where. If someone could point me in the right direction so I could continue to search that would be great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] BugsBunny891:
I agree the nook menu is really annoying and I dont see a custom rom coming out any time soon

So I don't have a link but you can find it over at Phandroid that the Galaxy S line will be getting a gingerbread update at the end of Q1 start of Q2. The US carriers might have delayed froyo because they knew this update was coming and if it is true Samsung is trying to extort money from them for the update maybe they just will skip froyo an g straight to gingerbread to same themselves some money by providing 1 update as apposed to 2. This sound like it could be plausable to me and would definetely reduce some of my hatred of samsung.
