[Galaxy S I9000 General] zdarma:
Thanks for the info links but I had already tried some of those suggestions in your list, while others were not relevant to me. However in the thread I did notice a lot of people mentioning they had a problem of the wifi connecting and dis-connecting randomly or would not re-connect to the wifi network after coming out of sleep. Neither of these are my problems.

As well many people mentioned router problems. My home and work network are both configured for 802.11-g connections. At cybercafes I don't know, but I'm guessing they are probably all using 802.11-b/g. As my Wifi does not seem to be turning on correctly, I pretty much eliminated that as being a source of my problem or any router issue in general as the problem seems to occur randomly. As I mentioned in my previous post, sometimes I can turn my wifi on without issue for days on end, other times, I have to spend 20 minutes or so fighting with it to turn on. That's "turn on my wifi" and not "connect to a wifi network". Once the wifi is turned on, connecting to a network has never been a problem.

Your problem seems to have been your phone was unable to connect wirelessly to a router, while mine is quite the opposite. My wifi simply does not turn on at all and after about 5 minutes of saying "Turning on wifi..." displays "Error" where it should say what network it is connected to.

If I am able to to turn on my wifi, I never have a problem connecting to a network. My phone can go to sleep wake up and re-connect without a problem, any number of times. Once my wifi is on and connected to a network I never lose connection. Even when I am at work, I can be connected to one wifi network, go to another part of the building and I would re-connect automatically to another wifi network. I can bounce between wireless networks all day without ever having a problem.

Others mentioned GPS and Location tracking as a potential source of problems. My GPS is never activated or anything that has to do with location finding and tracking. Even when it is activated, on the rare occasion I do use the GPS, I don't recall if I had any problems connecting to a wifi network.

I know that once my wifi does not turn on, on the first try (home, office, cybercafe, etc.), it takes multiple attempts for it to do so. I am beginning to think there is some kind of bug in the wifi driver and will just have to suffer with it until Samsung wakes up and fixes the problem.

ps

You gave me a good chuckle as to why you had to edit your post. :)

i've just flashed jpu and now i cant connect to an wifi network...keeps saing "disconnected"..."scanning"..."disconnected".."scanning".......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0utkast:
Already a thread about it somewhere.

Used to have the same problem twice.

Both times it fixed by itself after about half a day , i just left wifi open and let to keep scanning and connecting and disconnecting etc. and fixed by itself.

I noticed it happens when wifi is off and modem is disconected.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Peter Unger:
Did anybody had the following problem and some solution?

After disconnecting a WPA2 secured network, the phone is very slow and you have to switch it off and start it again to use it.

Tried on different ROMs and versions - problem does still exist.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krha23:
Same here with my SGS. Was working perfectly for couple of months and then suddenly connects, scans, disconnects continuously. Tried to change to different phone modems, couple different custom Roms and reverted to stock xxjpy from xwjs5. I've tried to reset my router change it with new, played with settings. I have ran out of ideas. Today I have installed Android 2.3.2 without a luck. I'm running out of ideas...? Please help

Hello

I recently installed the Liberty Rom and for the most part I love it. Ive been using the OEM build with some minor metamorph tweaks since I upgraded from the OG Droid. One thing that bugs me about the Liberty Rom is the lock screen. Yea yea i know the lockscreen....

What im curious about is if i can install the OEM pattern lock screen and the OEM sliding lock screen back into this rom? The one it currently has is the older style screen and its not as polished looking. Also it only allows you to have either a lock or the slide lock screen not both like the OEM does.

Ive done a ton of searching and found that some one ported the OEM D2/X lockscreen to what i beleive was the incrediable but that was several months ago with no updates and that was about it.

Thanks!

WidgetLocker, which allows you to use sliders & customize multiple sliders w/WL Actions, Apps, & Shortcuts & I have six custom sliders that allow access to loads of stuff I need right on bootup.

You can do a lot, see the settings. It is well worth it.

I used to be on liberty until the dev just stopped updating. The last version I was able to apply themes to was 2.0.1 (froyo kernel). If you would like to theme, I suggest trying the older version. Personally, I found MIUI a MUCH easier ROM to theme, especially given the quality of their theme library.

As far as a white housing, that would help distinguish it from an iphone 3g.

Quick question:

How long do you thing our super amoleds will last? i use my SGS so frequently, it never gets rebooted for days.. when the battery's about to be drained, i charge it with a battery pack.. when i get home, i charge it overnight.. so in short, the screen is almost always on..

I'm not a fan of selling my old phones, they kind of have sentimental value and i have this urge to show my old gear to my future kids (yes i'm 18) and tell them that "during my adolescence, there came a time that i had the best phone in the world."

But i've just read here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892498 that these super amoled screens, although very top of the line, degrade quickly, a disadvantage of oleds carried over to amoleds..

So OP, coming from someone who deals with hardware a lot, how long do you think will our amoleds last?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammodo:
I would say that battery will be long gone before your kids see it with that level of charging. The screen will degrade but will still work Just might not be as sexy.

Sent from my NCC-74656!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] neilbantoc:
Yeah about that.. Read somewhere in engadget that the real enemy of electronic devices is the battery.. But I don't really expect much from this device after a good 5-10 years.. As long as I can still power this thing on, I don't mind the battery not charging.. Aka it works only when plugged in but the battery is not really charging..

@off topic

Hey iammodo,

you can get a white backplate complete with white buttons here:

h**p://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250753376845&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

They offer the buttons for 9€ extra.

I got my parts today and was really surprised as they are genuine Samsung.

Now my SGS's back is nearly complete white (sadly NOT round the earphone-jack, but its impossible to find a white middle housing)

But somethings still looking wrong... :confused:

Got it! The metal-ish frame on the stock white ones is bright chrome, ours is noticeably darker. :eek:

Meh... but if i could find a broken SGS to rip the frame off...

There isn't a white one on your first post, eh??? :p

greets, toastytwo

Update - 22.03.2011

Issue solved.

The problem was miss configured APNs that came from CyanogenMod-7

After trying again and again to configure APN's i finally found the right settings:

These settings are for Orange IL (partner) HSDPA and MMS

I updated issue number 3204 at the CyanogenMod Project (google)

Update - 21.03.2011

There is now an issue (3204) at the Cyanogen Project.

If you are having the same problem please "Star" this issue.

Here is the Link

if you are able to send an mms please attach or paste relevant logcat and provide your rom and radio details

Found a bug at CyanogenMod-7 BUILD#whatever

When trying to open MMS message (with any messaging app) the 3G/HSPDA Connection breaks and you

can't

download the file.

Also you can't send an MMS...

W/TransactionService( 2683): Exception occurred while handling message: { what=1 when=-11ms arg1=1 obj=com.android.mms.transaction.TransactionBundle@4059ba38 }

This also happens on Desire(BRAVO)

You can still use 3G/HSDPA for other purposes, but if you will try to download a multimedia file (that was sent by MMS ) your connection will close.

[Nexus S General] Rewtor:
I don't see how a problem with MMS is a "Major Bug", if you really need MMS flash to a more stable ROM instead of nightly. People are going to look at this thinking their phones are going to get hacked or something by using CM7 until they read the actual thread and it's only a measly MMS issue
[Nexus S General] imneo1:
like i said it is not working for me and my friend (he has HTC desire) with any CyanogenMod-7

we tried RC1 RC2 and nightly
[Nexus S General] imneo1:
phillevy :"After putting my APN details into GoSMS all is working fine now. CM7 RC2 Netarchy 1.3.0 CFS"

i'll try that, but do you have the same problem with the Native messaging app ?
[Nexus S General] Rewtor:
But it still isn't a "Major Bug" it's minor if anything, so it will worry people who are not so technically literate. Even if it is the same with the Release Candidates or not it is still a BETA so it is to be expected, as I said before use a more stable ROM if you can't live without MMS
[Nexus S General] imneo1:
You can always ignore this thread.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Yes, those of us who know what a major bug really is can but to a newbie who is considering rooting and trying a custom ROM this thread stands out because you claim you've found a major bug (which its not as many people have been able to send and receive MMS fine including myself and my wife). Its really unfair and silly to call the fact that you have screwed up MMS a "major bug". A major bug would be, for example, on a beta of non-official cm6 on my Epic all texts sent using the software keyboard became a string of strange symbols completely irrelevant to the message sent. That is a bug.
[Nexus S General] imneo1:
2 people from the same country/carrier/ are not relevant for this issue .

Cyanogen automatically pushes the right APN settings to your device according to your carrier Id

at previous Cyanogen ROMs it worked fine. but sometime between CyanogenMos-6 to 7 apparently someone changed these settings in a way that you can't use MMS (Country: IL Carrier: Orange)

so any CyanogenMod users from IL, that uses "Orange" as their carrier can't use MMS .

That is a bug and now after i've updated the correct settings at the Cyanogen Google Project the next build will include them.

So this will help the (what you call) newbies...

it was a bug.

and now it's solved.

So i downloaded both multitouch add ons for x10, copied the folder in firmwares, hit the flash tool, hit flash, and theres nothing to flash in the box where it usually says what firmwares are available in the folder..it says nothing...i looked at threads and instructions with absolutely no help...what am i doing wrong? my pda is in flash mode...i know this because i already flashed the 2.1 rom months ago, and used the same method, only using an older flash tool

Is it possible the path the newer flash tool looks for updates is different? If there's a thread for the specific tool you're using you might want to go there and read the entire thing, if you're having the issue someone else probably did too so it might've already been answered.
