[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHNS:
Do as I did change your blacklight settings and don't use auto bright. Then disable some service using 3rd party apps and trust me there is alot of them that you will never use or need so get rid of them from even starting and if it even restarts have it shutdown. I am also using IGv1.1.6 as I flashed it last night and normally comparing it with IGv1.1.5 its better. Also scale your mCPU with SetCPU and when idle underclock it normally its 800mhz on avg load. Don't waste your battery trying to OC it lol just so you can brag about benchmark. Do this 3 you will see improvement, most folks always talk about uptime but we talk about awake time as thats what really matters.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonmanxo:
i dont understand the SetCPU stuff =/

^^^^BUMPP^^^^^
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big fancy:
Set cpu is a program you can download that allows you to change the speed your cpu runs at. U can even make profiles so say when ur battery reaches a certain level it will under clock the cpu to run at a lower level to increase your battery life. It also allows you to overclock your phone to run faster but at a significant loss to your battery life.

Hope that helps.

Oh set cpu isn't free now but there are others on the market that do the same thing that are.

I have set CPU but I don't understand how to operate it :P
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalab0y:
What most ppl do is set a profile to run at the minimum speed when the phone is turned off to increase batt life..also, use a reasonable on demand setting for all other usage..no need to do crazy overclocking if you dont need the power

Hello,

Please Help!! My stock (firmware but rooted) TMO Tab started locking up and then progressed into constant reboots, lockups and semi hard resets (I lose all screens and they are back to stock, email accounts are gone in stock client, but apps are still there and a lot of other information is still there like wifi, bluetooth setting/devices etc.) Also, sometimes, the device hangs on the Samsung logo on boot up and I have to power down holding the button for 10 seconds and then turn back on..

It is almost like I got a virus. I did a hard reset the other night, went to bed with about 80% battery and it was completely dead in the morning. Last night went to bed with 91% and it was dead in the AM. Something is wrong and draining my battery.

Tmo is not standing behind their product because I bought it without a contract and said Samsung would either refund me or send me a new one(which I knew it couldn't be right), and it wasn't. They said send it in for 10-14 days and they will send me a working model.

So given all the problems I am having which seem to be software related, which software should I install? Something I won't have problems with or will still allow me to accept future Tmo updates if needed or wanted.

Also I am upset over the email limit(one month unlike the VZ version etc) on the stock email client so a Euro version would be fine if it had that feature and I also am not using the Tmo network so a disabled 3G network for data is not a problem.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Best,

BC

Please help me...

Update: My Tab was stuck on the Samsung logo for the longest time this morning(like 3 hours). I did the volume up/power button and wiped but still was stuck. It finally booted up but I am sure it is going to lock up and I will have to go through the same thing hoping to get it to boot up.

What could've caused it? What should I do while i have it on? Should I update to the Euro software and if so, which one? There are so many choices and not sure which one to do. Also, would I be able to go back to the stock tmobile s/w if I can return it for a replacement?

One thing that i noticed in the apps is a folder called error 1.0.0 but I cannot uninstall it. Is this normal and does anyone else have it? The other thing is that I still have the same memory available as when I had all my apps, email etc in it. Like it didn't really erase everything.

Please help and point me in the right direction. I have been scouring the net for 4 hours now and I don't know which way to go.

Thank you,

BC
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Perhaps you poked around in the files system and accidently removed something? I would go to the Roto Stock firmware package thread, and flash that to repair a corrupt file system. Only a guess on my part, but it won't do any harm.
[Galaxy Tab General] bconfer:
Well I suppose but I don't recall messing around with anything. I was hoping that while I had to change or repair my software, I should put the best on that there is to offer.

What software do you use or recommend?

Thanks for the reply! This is driving me crazy! I have had to turn off and back on at least 15 times today trying to get it to work amd habe wiped like 5 times.

Do you think I should just try and get a replacement from tmobile?

Thanks,

Brian
[Galaxy Tab General] halftonehero:
Woah, slow down partner. Make a Titanium Backup to the external sd card then remove it. Flash Rotohammers stock T Mobile firmware. Reroot with SuperOneCLick. Reinsert the external SD and reinstate your apps with Titanium. If things are still wonky after that then it's probably a hardware problem.

EDIT: I'd flash using Odin 1.7. It's just easier than Heimdall to me. Personal preference I suppose.
[Galaxy Tab General] bconfer:
I did the backup and reinstalled after one of the wipes but it keeps locking up and not booting up. I haven't had it on 1 time successfully yet today and it past 10PM...

The main reason I would like a different firmware is because I want the full functionality of the email client like in some of the other tabs and android devices.

Tmobile and i don't know who else (I read ATT) crippled the email and it doesn't have the option to have all email on the device which is great for short trips without the laptop.

What about some of Roto's other firmwares? Like i said previously, I am not using Tmobiles data or service so it doesn't matter. I also read that the browser and overall was really smooth.

Is it ok to root with z4root? I have the app on my sd card and that is how i've done it before.

Thanks for your suggestions and i appreciate all feedback. I have to do something because this device has become a paperweight.

Thank you,

BC
[Galaxy Tab General] b0ricuaguerrero:
hey dude you sound nervous as hell man, relax. as long as you can get your phone in to download mode. you will be ok. flash rotos tmobile stock firmware. if it works hooray! if not flash rotos jme 4
[Galaxy Tab General] bconfer:
Still out of commission

I am not nervous, just annoyed as hell.

I flashed the stock tmobile firmware, booted it up and it crashed after about 10 minutes and I am back stuck on the samsung logo. I haven't been able to get it to boot up for about 5-6 days. I have wiped many times and no dice.

Should I wipe cache partition? Try the JME software?

Thanks for your help!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jstauffer08:
Hi all, I just came from iPhone and am really missing the magnifiying glass that pops up when i want to move my text edit cursor between letters. I noticed the Droid X has this feature as well (in fact seems to work better than the iphone's).

My big thumbs can not tap accurately enough between letters, and I do not like the stock Sense kb (I'm using the Gingerbread kb).

Could anyone hook me up with this magnifying glass/cursor movement? I would be very appreciative.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
I have fat fingers, too. :D

You know the GB keyboard you're using already has a helpful feature for this, right? It doesn't magnify anything, but those big text selector tabs just might be the best part of the GB update, lol.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jstauffer08:
hmmm i am not sure what you are talking about... The only way I know of to move is by tapping, but it is far too inaccurate.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamthebigcheeze:
The Gingebread keyboard has big tabs for text selection and moving the cursor. Here's an example:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jstauffer08:
Oh, Whoa!

Which Gingerbread kb are you using?? That looks sweet and I am pretty sure the one I've got does not have that function. Or if it does, I'm a fool and haven't figured out how to use it....

(I'm stock ROM with an "ruKeyboard 2.0 r19" apk)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] flexte:
the ones i have tried dont have it either. I did go to bestbuy and tried the nexus 2 and it had it and works great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] laydros:
it isn't a feature of the gingerbread keyboard ports to 2.2, it is only available in the actual 2.3 system.

Sense at least has it in their browser.

I had the very same situation, came from iphone and was frustrated by this. Swype actually has a great text selection setup, just swype from the swype button to the sym button.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jstauffer08:
Thanks for the clarification.

Even more frustrating is that my buddy's Droid X has a similar function.

Nonetheless, one week into my EVO and loving it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
I ran into this one day and then again today. I know vol down+power is hboot and vol down+trackpad+power is fast boot, so what is vol up+power?

When I did it the phone vibrated 2 or 3 times and the orange LED started flashing. It wouldn't power on, fastboot, hboot, nothing until I pulled the battery (with it unplugged). So what exactly is it doing when I press that combo?

Just curious.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
The thought on what that might be is an unknown utility to communicate with the qualcom chip set, no ones really sure how to use it or what it can be used for, but it only becomes active if you have radio S-off thru the use of GFree.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Well that's interesting... very interesting. Far beyond my level to even attempt to figure out how to utilize it if that's what it's actually doing. Still though, it would be neat to put some effort into messing with it to see what we can use it for, obviously only for those extremely knowledgeable or with large disposable incomes.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Its for factory jtag, problem solved :)

The G1 has something similar commonly refered to as "blue light mode" which is used to bring bricked G1's back from the dead.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Do we even have the JTAG printouts for the G2? Would be nice, then we could really mess with this phone since we could bring it back from the dead. Seems like we're only scratching the surface with this thing.

Introduction:

Hi, I thought I'd post this in case anyone else was interested. I got tired of writing scripts to mass delete or rename certain files so I wrote this little a application. It has the ability to rename using regular expressions, which might be useful to some. I'll consider adding functionality (can't think of any right now) if it turns out there is any demand. Enjoy!

Requirements:

.NET framework 4.0

Installation:

Not required

Download:

See attachment

Some useful Regular Expressions

Bugs:

Changelog:

[22-01-11] v1.1:

- added the ability to mass move files as well

- added the abitity to search using regular expression to the 'delete tab' and the 'move tab'

[19-01-11] v1.0 - Initial release
[General Topics] chrstdvd:
Looks cool. Can not think what i need it for at this moment.
[General Topics] 12aon:
I figured as much, it's mostly useful with big collections of similarly named files or a big collection of files where only a few need renaming or deleting. It takes away the searching part there. I figured there are bound to be a few guys working with collections of some kind here,

[General Topics] 12aon:
Update

Updated application with move function as well as RegEx search on al tabs. Added a few useful Regular expressions to manage files collections, feel free to supply more and I'll add them to the first post.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3icon:
Hello

I had some trouble with a bricked SGS for about 3 weeks ago but got it on the run again with some flashing help.

Now i have this strange problem. If i turn it off or if it just goes black out, which it has begun to do after i flashed it, then it can't turn on, it just show the sun looking loading icon and then a empty battery icon and then turns off.

I can't load recovery mode with the combo, but i can make the download mode combo work.

But if i connect the phone with the charger/usb i recognize it and show that it charging up. Now it boot and shows the Galaxy I9000 model no. image.

Had tried flashing newer versions From XXJPO -> XXJPY -> XWJS3 and both with and without pre-partition and it still occur.

Now the question: Does any of you experienced people know this problem and can it be fixed somehow ?

Thank you in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KARNAG3:
Same here...

Hello everyone,

I too have the same issue as stated in the first post.

I even had issue sometimes that when boot up.

The USB notification icon wouldnt turn off even if i wasn't connected.

Some threads suggested that I clean the USB port, which i did and nothing changed, even if it looked a little bit dirty in there (Hard to say since it is really small).

Now the USB port looks just as new but same issue: I cant power on the unit witout having it connected with a power cord.

Also, when offline in download mode, Odin detect the unit and I can flash my device (Which I did yesterday by flashing UGJH2 re-partition and UGJL2 not re-partition) but when boot up, I can't make it to sync up with the computer. No sync possible (Also now I'm not rooted anymore).

The unit is under warranty but since it is unlocked with a tool that needed rooting to lock back, abviously I would need to be rooted again but to do it, I need to be able to sync it with my PC (No cant do here). :(

I have some engineer at work that offered me to check it out for me, they think it is related with the USB port, but I'm worried about the warranty seal. I found how to disasemble it but does anybody knows where it could be located on the I9000M from bell (Vibrant)? Does it have one?

Anybody have any better suggestion or a second opinion, please?

Its my 3rd Galaxy S from Bell and Samsung is now the last company I would think when buying a new mobile. :mad:

EDIT: Did the Block 2 Method and now it doesnt even want to boot at all (Did the JPY_JPY_JPY.tar part), now it shows the loading sign even faster and the battery doesnt even show it self at all.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfb00t:
this problem can be caused by water or sweat that got inside the case of your sgs.

the biggest hole in the case is micro-usb port) i think condensation accumulated there and locked some contacts.

try to disassemble the phone and carefully clean and dry it.

How do I install app2sd?

How do I install custom themes? Can you post me some basilar tutorials, please ?

Nothing ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] totalundone:
There's a lot. This link should help to point you in the right direction.

I'd recommended upgrading to the latest 2.1 first, root it with the software in the X10 forum, and then you can install xrecovery and have your pick of rom you would like to run. most of them still have issues with camera but there are a couple that are based on 2.1 that have everything working well. I think dualtouch (came out yesterday) has been incorporated, if not, there are a couple tutotorials to get dualtouch on your os.

I did this and always ended back with my favorite, the stock ROM, now it's JL2. I have tried a lot of other ROMs but I find the stock ROM to be the best. It is just as fast (not in benchmark scores but in real everyday use) as all the other custom ROMs I have tried. It does lack some of the custom/Gingerbread themes but all in all, for me, it does the best job.

My GPS works well. I get great battery life (compared with others that I have read about). No issues.
