[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panamaggs:
I've read all the same issue posts but none solve my problem. I can't get Odin to connect to the SG. If I put the SG in download mode with the 3 button combo, Odin won't connect. ADB also can't connect to the SG as the SG won't boot. I've tried everything suggested but it simply won't connect. I guess the SG is now a bin job. The only way to get a connection in Odin is to let the SG boot and hang then connect. Odin can see the SG but you can't do anything unless the SG is in download mode. ADB can't reboot the SG either. Something must be wrong with SBL but I can't find a way to fix it. My fingers are sore from so many 3 key combos over the last few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajjter:
Full brick and leave it in for repair and blame on kies?:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panamaggs:
All the thread answers require the use of ADB and or Odin. This is the problem, I can't get the SG to connect to Odin when the SG is in download mode. Something is wrong with the SBL so the download mode isn't working. If I could get the download mode fixed the rest is easy. The only time Odin can see the SG is when I let the SG boot normally and it hangs. Then I connect the USB and Odin sees the SG. As it is not in download mode, Odin can't send anything. ADB gives an error that it can't connect to the device so I can't use ADB to put the SG in dl mode. To summarize, I can only get the SG to either hang on boot or go into a faulty dl mode with the 3 key combo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Sounds more like a USB problem. Change USB port and or remove and reinstall Kies/USB drivers .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold:
so you could never get into recovery mode or only after he did a reset?

if it's not a usb problem as suggested above then i agree with "Full brick and leave it in for repair and blame on kies?", if they can't get it in dl mode or recovery either they won't know what you've done to it, or they might, so leave that as a last option
[Wildfire General] dekimaks:
I use Unrevoked,and I still got s-on,how can I solve that?I want to make s-off.And my WF is still unlocked(sim),This is my bigest problem,pls help:confused:
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Both are not possible as of now on the Wildfire. The only way to unlock is to buy an unlock code, and, S-OFF is still no possible on the Wildfire. (AlphaREV is supposed to implement this, but, it there is no release yet)
[Wildfire General] Sympnotic:
you can unlock phones using a gold card and a WWE RUU.
[Wildfire General] dekimaks:
Just flash WWE RUU with gold card or ..?:confused:
[Wildfire General] ryanraven:
no

you cant unlock the wildfire by making gold card and flashing flashing does not access that part of the mobile device.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I thought that was unbranding, not unlocking? (The SIM Lock is still retained even if you do that, AFAIK) :/
[Wildfire General] dekimaks:
Some other solution?any chance to make sim free?

maybe this work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857444

Is it possible?
[Wildfire General] DestX:
Did you not read the other replys?

YOU CANNOT DO IT.

Also that link is not for the wildfire.
[Wildfire General] Sympnotic:
woops :x always though "unbranding" meaned "unlock sim card", never bothered to do it actually, I even sent my phone back to aftersales with a Wildpuzzle :3

[Wildfire General] brilldoctor:
£100 for that!! if you are rooted, you can use clockwork mod to access /system and other system folders (similar to s-off, but you are responsible if you brick your device in doing so). to unlock your device, contact your carrier. they should be able to do it for between £0 and £20
[Wildfire General] cybertyk:
or you can just flash a RUU with a goldcard that bypass's the CID thats what i did.
[Wildfire General] juanchotolas:
Could you guide us through that process?
[Wildfire General] cybertyk:
To goldcard the phone to bypass Cid please search the forum. Xda does not need another novice adding more stuff to it. That is already there

Edit. This will not provide s-off just the ability to flash any buzz ruu
[Wildfire General] juanchotolas:
@cybertyk thanks man, I'll search for it, just one quick question.

If I bypass the CID and install a RUU my device will be sim unlocked?

Thanks again!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] or.saeros:
As far as I know the only way to get odin to work is to have a copy of windows running either via bootcamp or virtualization software like VMware or Parrallels. I'm sure a search will come up with something .....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optimal:
I was unsuccessful at getting Parallels to work with the USB specifically when the captivate was in the download mode. Since this is a requirement of Odin, I had to use a PC.

I read several articles/posts with recommendations for getting download mode to work with various VMs but nothing worked.

Save yourself the time and just find a PC. You can then use the mac/vm for other functions.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dr.m0x:
Ok like the thread says I just want one good book to help teach me the fundamentals of Android development. I haven't really done any programming in a few years but used to be quite adept with Basic, Pascal, and C/C++.

To make things clear I am looking for an actual ink and paper book, not an ebook or html guide. I've always found it easier to follow things when I can have a book open beside me.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] benzmar:
Let's have this thread to discuss in brief and detail about all the best possible apps we can have in our Xperia X10i.

True, we have been installing and uninstalling very many apps as devs keeps developing lots and lots of apps. True, we will soon beat iPhone store.

Coming to our subject:

I have purchased Smart Keyboard Pro based on review. Recently, I was going through the Better Keyboard reviews too. Lot's of people have installed Better Keyboard (16.5K rating), while Smart Keyboard Pro is only 7K ratings. Should I go for BK or retain with SK? Please advice. Does BK has the featur of suggesting sentences as Xperia 1.6 keyboard had earlier? (where the previously used words automatically pops up while texting). I loved it, and now after 2.1 it's gone. SK doesn't have this. Does BK have it? Anyone having BK with this feature? Please comment.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] benzmar:
Recently I have come across another app named "Button Savior".

This is an wonderful app. I have installed in my Xperia X10i and it's awesome. The only thing I need is, that app should float below or top and not on left or right. It's little nuisance to see it on right. Besides, the icons should be customizable. Any idea, how to get these fixed.

I literally want to stop using the hard keys and go for such soft keys. Please let me know your thoughts.

Anyone recommend me a good web browser?

One that loads web pages fast,

has Pinch zoom,

long-press copy/paste,

flash support

and preferably one that doesn't have a UI that takes up a lot of space. I like to have my status bar up top and still have a large area to view webpages.

I've been using Dolphin but the UI is too overdone and large.

Thanks for making it multi-platform dude!

I haven't tried using it to mod any roms, but it does start up and show dialogues on the Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Java 1.6. The minor annoyance is that it creates the kitchen folder where the jar-file is.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejanitor86:
so i just flashed cognition 3.04, and i love it. so much smoother and faster. i was tired of waiting for the officail 2.2 froyo release. the only thing that i dont understand is that it says that the unlock screen should be the stock glass pane swipe thing. but its not. its just the standard froyo unlock screen. not a big deal just wondering about it. so i guess thats my question.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
More people requested stock lockscreen over the glass one. It's really upto DG to change whatever he wants in his rom. I guess he likes to satisfy all his followers :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejanitor86:
yeah i am not upset with the lockscreen. just wondering if i missed something. its a really nice rom. now i am wondering what else should i add to the phone. i want to keep this rom but maybe overclock it next.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2snowboards88:
I'm thinking of trying glitterballz lethal with an i9000 rom. Glitterballz' kernel has always worked well for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
You have to actually read the change log.

This is from his thread. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejanitor86:
lol i did read everything in the change log. even researching the things i didnt understand, which was quite a few. ha. but your right. i mistook that for meaning the STOCK captivate lockscreen. and also the two large screenshots threw me off, since the picture posted by designgears of the rom layout clearly shows the lock screen being the glass style one. but if thats the only mistake i made then so be it. what overclocked kernal do you guys recommend with the cognition rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
No worries man, just thought I would make sure you knew it was in the change log. I personally am not using a OC/UV kernel because every time I have it has killed my battery. I just left Serendipity for that reason. I have run both Hardcore and Glitterballs kernels and I just never had good luck like others have had.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejanitor86:
yeah i probably will leave it alone for now. but i feel i want to do more. any suggestions for other stuff i can add/do to the phone now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazin619:


Serendipity has given me the best battery life ever. And its rinnin oc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
That is the beauty of these phones; I was running Serendipity and just yesterday alone I had to charge twice because it killed my battery. I was running extremely mild settings so I would try and help my battery and it still died. That is why I went away from it, but my phone has been that way with all OC/UV kernels. On the other hand with Cognition I flashed yesterday at 85% battery (yes everyone says flash from 100% and I don't care lol) and after 14 hours I am at 70% battery with normal use for me. If I were on Seredipity or any other OC/UV kernel my phone just sleeping would die. It sucks how much of a difference these phones have between each other.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
15% drop in 14 hours.....normal use... :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
If you dont cut out the rest of my sentence it says at the end "for me". So simply changing the rom immediately made my battery better because i had serious issues on serendipity. Please dont take a part of what i said and try to twist it around.

This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
If normal use is screen off on airplane mode ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Sorry, wasn't trying to twist anything. Just surprised at what you would classify as normal.

I just like to look at the screen too much ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Why so serious
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
I only speak for myself and my stats. I was using that point based on what i have had happen. I have used my phone more today than the previous couple because the battery lasted. On serendipity which is a good rom overall i would lose atleast 35% during the day with airplane mode on. Working in a clinic att does not work in my area so i keep it on to help savebattery. Too bad my phone hates oc/uv kernels.

This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejanitor86:
well i havent charged the battery since i flashed it and its still at 42 percent. and i have been messing with it alot. so apparently my phone loves cognition. ha. but i was wondering if its possible to put the touchwiz app drawer back in. i liked it better since you can move the apps where you want.
[Fascinate General] vegittoss15:
Here's something that we discussed in IRC earlier tonight. If you want to go back from Kaoscinate to 2.1 without the use of Odin (which is a somewhat long process), follow this.

make sure you have the stock cwm's (the green one) update.zip on the sdcard. Hit the update from update.zip button on the voodoo cwm (the red one) and go to the stock cwm. Now you should be able to format all the partitions, but if you try to reboot from here, it'll error out (it did for me atleast). Go back to the voodoo cwm, and install your rom from here and reboot.

If it bootloops, go back to the voodoo cwm, disable the lagfix and let it reboot and run. After that go back to cwm and install your rom, make sure it works this time and go enable the lagfix again.

Should be it.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
You can go into settings, about phone, firmware update.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
that doesnt really force the update, that just installs it if the phone was already presented with the OTA
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I thought it forced a check for the update, or at least it did on my Epic.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
nope, the closest thing you can get to "forcing the phone to get the update" is the

*#*#CHECKIN#*#* method. and even then all the CHECKIN command does is gets the phone to call home to the mothership and say "hi im here"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Hard to say. Maybe the difference with your Epic is that the update comes from Samsung and on the Nexus S it comes from Google.

With the NS on both updates so far, I was not able to magically make it appear on my device by using the Settings or the checkin dial code. I think that for those it showed up after checkin, it was just coincidence...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Perhaps it is the difference in where the update is coming from, I've been running 2.3.1 with CM7rc8 for a few days now don't really plan to update
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The way to force the NS to get the update is to download the zip and go into recovery and update it. No root, changing recovery to apply.

1) Download it (Search forums for it.. its in General)

2) Rename to update.zip if it isnt already

3) Put it on root of sd card

4) Boot into recovery (search forums, if you dont know how)

5) Apply update.zip

6) Reboot... you're on 2.3.2

NOTE: The file you are downloading is exactly identical to what you would get from the OTA. So you're doing the same thing. When you get the OTA, you're downloading it from the same source. The URL was received from aLogCat.
