Try clearing the gallery's thumbnail cach. It's In /sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris..something, I think. Reboot your phone, and wait until the phone finishes scanning your sdcard, ghen open the gallery. If you have a lot of pics, it's going to take a while to rebuild the thumbnails.

Well, we just have to accept the fact that we are limited by the ram. But we have to remember, our milestone is old.

When I use my DHD, I do feel the difference, but I love my stone! Plus the DHD's battery is really crap!

maybe you need to buy mine then, imagine that your current stone gets stolen.... :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattchew008:
Hi everyone, I've had my Vibrant since mid-December and I love it except I get VERY spotty reception in my house.

I know it's not a carrier issue, as my mom and friends have the same carrier (Wind Mobile) and they seem to have decent/good reception at my place. My reception drops consistently in my main floor and is non-existent in my basement.

I'm running TW Bionix V with KA7.

Is anyone aware of a hardware fix (similar to the GPS fix) that might be do-able and works?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regP:
Have you tried flashing different modems to see if any of them make a difference?

You may also be experiencing bad reception due to the fact that the antenna is located at the bottom of the phone so our hands block it when we hold the phone in portrait orientation. Why Samsung chose to be it there is beyond me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuke777:
I know what u r going thrugh, my 2 brothers have vibrants aswell and for some ****ing reason my vibrant has significantly worss signal then their vibrant. I already tryed opening it and puting an external antenna but it only helps if the antenna is going straight ought of the phone, as soon as I try to close the cover it losses its usfulness.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattchew008:
I've tried different modems in the past.

KA7 so far has been the best, but that isn't saying too much.

I have actually just opened up my phone and located the 2 copper connectors at the bottom right (when my phone is turned back-up). I read in the Correct GPS Fix thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878970) that these are the cell reception connections.

I put a small piece of rubber underneath the connection and SO far it actually seems to have improved it.

I will report back throughout the day. Typically I lose reception while walking through my house so I'll see if that happens as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattchew008:
*Sigh*

I think it may have been a placebo effect. The reception is still dropping off on my phone while in the house.

Doesn't seem like bending the copper connection does very much.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecoolcat:
I'd just try different modems. For me, KA6 < KA7 < KA5/JL5 and KB1 has been great for download speeds.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
You're holding it wrong! Hold it the correct way (at the top).

Just kidding, but yeah, try different modems. KA5 and KB1 gave me the best reception. Or maybe Tmobile has poor coverage in your area.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Why dont you use wifi calling feature at home. Then you shouldnt have a problem unless you dont have internet at home.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattchew008:
I wish I could use wifi calling!

I'm actually in Canada using Wind Mobile (not T-Mobile), and it doesn't work unless you're on the T-Mobile network/using their SIM if I'm not mistaken.

The coverage in my area is decent (my mom and friends get steady reception, while I do not).

It seems to be specifically for my Vibrant.

I will try changing the modem to maybe KA6 (I can just flash with CW?) and see if that fixes anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
My phone have a hardware defect when i'm holding the phone on it's bottom left.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
When you say your mom and her friends have great reception, just curious, are they using Smartphone?

Because if they are using feature phone then the phone might be displaying 2g network strength oppose to 3g which your phone by default tries to get on.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattchew008:
They are on the same network (Wind), my mom is using a Blackberry Pearl 9100 and my friend is using a Moto XT720. Both are set to only use the WCDMA network. So it wouldn't be a problem with them on 2G.

I just find it odd, some people are reporting great reception with the phone, but my reception has been half a$$.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuke777:
**** I wish I knew what makes my vibrant reception worse then other vibrants. if it is the internal antenna then I might work something out but if it is a defective motherboard then I'll be waisting my time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muchelaguito:
I have noticed that my reception has improved when I started using a ruber/plastic case... somehow direct contact with my skin affected reception. I have an Otterbox Commuter.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonicacid:
Actually I have noticed this also with my otterbox. Use to get 1 or 2 bars in parts of my house now i keep 3 or 4.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
The otter box lowers reception? What reception would you get with the back phone cover off?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muchelaguito:
No, actually, the other way around. I have BETTER reception with the Otterbox, as weird as it may sound.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
I normally just load the modem into the internal sd card, then reboot into recovery and then install by "choose which to install> select it and say YES

That never has problems sometime CWM can hang it it is a hassle.

Also, there is a patch that allows to use wfi calling doesn't matter that carrier doesn't like it it works........
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattchew008:
Would you happen to know where to get this patch?

I'd love to give it a try, it would definitely make my life much easier :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuke777:
I use rubber casing and the difference is so minimal that it is hard to say if it is a plasibo or the real deal ( most likely plasibo).

EDIT: I tried just about everything to improve my reception, I tried bending the copper wire, I tried doing the GPS fix by bending the metal tabs only I bend all 4 tabs instead just one, I tried putting external antenna and nothing helps.

[Q] I keep getting: - "Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate"

"Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate. Please try again later"

I keep getting this message when I try to connect to some websites.

How can I overcome this situation please??

I have searched this and other forums but not found the answer.

I have tried resetting - power offs - etc, etc but this message keeps appearing and I remain totally unable to get onto some sites that I need to spend a lot of time on.

I am in UK on o2 network but use wifi most of the time.

Help please. :confused:

[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
What rom are you using? The JMG rom for example has wifi connectivity issues. Or are you having trouble using cellular network?
[Galaxy Tab General] ziffos:
Not sure what ROM I am using (i am unsure of how to find this out) and yes I still get same issue when using cellular network.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
The problem is your browser is not compatible with your webserver. I had this problem back in blackberry days. Download dolphin or opera to see if a different browser fixes your issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] henrylam:
I suggest for you to search around for a APN setting that suits your network provider. Sometimes it may be caused by that.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Wrong apn settings would keep you from even connecting to your cellular network. You wouldn't be able to get any message.
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
Same here

I've had my tab for only a few weeks, and have had a very shaky wifi connection because of the same error you get.

With the wifi I can logon no problems, but I continue to get the error you mentioned. The stock browser is essentially useless with this, so I tried many others. Dolphin HD, Opera Mini & Mobile, Miren, and Firefox beta were mostly better, but still not really useable. The best I found (even though I think some of the others are better browsers) is Skyfire. It doesn't seem to suffer the wifi issues to the same extent as any of the other browsers.

The wifi issue seems very strange, and I think it is more my ageing Netgear router. It doesn't work well close up when I get a full strong signal, but is acceptable (not good) when I am in the next room or even outside. The only thing that really worked was switching back to b from g, but I didn't stay with that for more than a couple of days because of the speed difference.

I have also flashed to Rotohammer's latest ROM JMI (unfortunately with the same issue, and no GPS).

I will continute to try various things I find around this forum, but as you say, no one seems to have an answer.
[Galaxy Tab General] ziffos:
Thanks but I have tried Opera, Dolphin, Skyfire but am still unable to login to some sites such as the OPDA forum in China that I want to use.

Thanks but my APN settings were provided automatically by my network provider and I have checked and double checked them and even tried editing the APN settings but without success.

As mentioned in a reply above - I have already tried Opera, Dolphin and Skyfire but still get the same message when trying to login to my account with the OPDA Chinese forum specifically and SOME other websites or forums in general.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Do you know anything about tomcat? I googled your error, where I found out about the browser incompatibility, and it could be on the server side.
[Galaxy Tab General] ziffos:
Well I have had a "slight" success in that I installed Mozilla Firefox and it allows me to sign into the "offending" websites/forums etc.

It is slow but at least it is doing the job!!

Any other suggestions would be most welcome.
[Galaxy Tab General] silverct9a:
You are not alone in this frustrating issue. I have a T-Mobile Tab and I constantly have data issue when on the celluar network. I constantly have to reset the data by turning off and on airplane mode or holding the power button to reset the data and as a last ditch effort, I just switch it to GSM only *Shudders* Wifi works flawlessy. Data on the other hand is shaky at best. I will try another browser other than stock today. Honestly I suspect the issue to be APN related because it's definitely not the SIM card related, as i've changed that several times. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
Tomcat

Rangercaptain - I found this reference also, but could not figure out where this server might be. Logically there is only my tab, router, adsl modem, and my internet service provider (Telstra). I could only think that the 'tomcat' server could only be within Telstra, but also thought that if this was the issue there would be many more people complaining about this isue.

Can you throw any more light on which direction I should look to follow this through? I am also puzzeled about where I might change things to make my browser 'compatable'.

Thanks very much for your interest and help. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
I am still looking. The server in the reference would be the sever that hosts the website you want. I will check back here later when I know more.
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
Thanks - I think you are right. My only problem is that the problem occurs on manywebsites, and even on Market and other internet accessing apps. While this could still be right, I don't see why many more people wouldn't be having the same issue.

It also puzzles me that changing the modem from g to b decreased the error significantly, as does moving further away from the router when it is in g mode.

Very confusing. :rolleyes:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Univirsul:
I have had my evo since pretty much the launch date (maybe about a week after) and recently for some reason I can't go 15 mins using it without it resetting and going into a reset loop. The phone never runs hot until it starts to reboot and after a few reboots is extremely hot. I've tried just about anything and everything to fix this but its a no go just wondering if anyone knows any way I can actually get a replacement or if anyone else has had this problem.

Edit : Did a bad job searching but found another thread about the same problem. Sorry for the extra one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram100987:
I searched the forums and didn't find what I was looking for. I often listen to music from my phone on my car through an aux jack, but I have to turn the media volume to almost full and turn the car stereo volume to near max to get decent volume, especially on the highway. I've known about voodoo sound for awhile but have yet to try it. I know there are many kernels that gave out built in, but I was wondering if it could be enthralled as a standalone add on. I'm running bionix-v with voodoo enabled if anyone has any suggestion of a kernel that would pair well or if sound can be flashed as a standalone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
there is no way to get voodoo sound without a custom kernel. period.

If you don't want a custom kernel, check out an app called "galaxy s tuner". the modifications are software based, not kernel based.

just downloaded "galaxy tuner" and it's great!!!! I think I might like it better than voodoo sound...:p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mjmacky:
Issue:

Haven't found any solid threads addressing the issue. If you are like me, you sometimes would like to use the native android email client to do perform basic functions with your IMAP email account. The problem is, your IMAP handling of certain functions do not sync correctly with the IMAP server, say Gmail for example. When you delete or send emails, your client creates new folders, and they do not go where they're supposed to. Here is a workaround, or rather an appropriate fix (for those with no interest in installing k9 or Seven).

Requires:

Root and SQL editing. Any android based operating system.

Fix:

You need to edit some values in the database. If you look under /data/data/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db and go to mailbox. Under there you have all the _id and display names for your Email accounts. For 'type' you have the following integer values

0 = INBOX

1 = Folder

2 = ? (I have none set to 2)

3 = Drafts

4 = Outbox

5 = Sent

6 = Trash

7 = ? (I have none set to 7)

8 = Search

So if you reassigned 'type' 3, 5, and 6 to correct folders (e.g. [Gmail]/Sent Mail set as 'type' 5, at the same time setting wrong Sent folder to 'type' 1 to be deleted later), it should handle it properly.

This is a similar solution to correcting IMAP issues in Thunderbird (configuration editor). I am posting this here because I have found no other real working solution to the problem, and Google has refused to fix it in their OS revisions (AFAIK up to 2.3). Perhaps a patch could be designed that adds "Set to Sent", "Set to Trash", "Set to Drafts", etc., that allows a user friendly adjustment in the native client.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dahauss:
Does this work?

I am on 2.3.5 using the default mail app with IMAP and GMAIL. I want to reassign the ANDROID SENT MAIL so it goes to the correct IMAP FOLDER. does your idea work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] titanshadow:
I noted that on my Mail database, Junk mail seemed to be assigned to ID 7. I had nothing assigned to 2.

I have also noticed, that the edits to the database must be made while the app is still open or it will crash when you try and start it.

This did, however, work for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] micnolmad:
Do I access the db with a terminal app? If yes, what command(s) do I use?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adumi:
mjmacky says:

On a motorola defy running 2.3.4 I do have the EmailProvider.db databases on the path you indicated, mjmacky. But I can`t locate the `mailbox` that you recommend going to.

Where in the EmailProvider.db is it located exactly?

I pulled the EmailProvider.db out of android and into my PC (via adb) and I`m now comfortably browsing it with an sqlite manager (The `sqlite manager` firefox plugin) but I simply can`t find the `mailbox` nor any indication of strings such as `INBOX` or `sent` or `drafts` etc.

Please be more specific as to the where I can find these values.

I must say solving this issue is a big deal for me, as there`s no other way I know of being able to store emails sent via android outside of it (other then on gmail perhaps) K9 does not solve my problem as it only enables to store sent messages in either SENT folder or SENT ITEMS where as on my IMAP server (Which is on hostgator) the folder is named INBOX.sent items. (Neither does `enhanced mail` solve this problem for me.)

BillTheCat , I have followed your various posts concerning this issue and share your interest in finding a solution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adumi:
I must thank you heartily mjmacky, as this post of yours helped me solve this problem. :):):)

(Thank you,BillTheCat, as well, as the info in your various posts contributed to my understanding of my problem.)

I found the `mailbox` you indicated, mjmacky, but not in the copy of the EmailProvider.db I pulled with adb out of android into the PC, but instead with the `sqlite editor` application for android. Being prompted by sqlite editor to choose which application`s databases I would like to browse I pointed to the native Android email app. Four databases appeared, one of which is the EmailProvider.db, having entered it, `mailbox` was now visible and inside of it the folder list you specified. In my case it was id #9 that had to be edited. it was assigned to `sent` whereas on my server the right name is INBOX.Sent Items. Having edited this value inside the sqlite explorer, I have sent a test email from the android native email application and indeed, instead of saving the sent message only to the `sent` folder as it did before (a folder that does not exist on my server) it sent it also to the INBOX.Sent Items folder, a folder that does exist on my server. Having checked my IMAP account in Outlook, I can finally see messages sent by Android.

I have no words enough to thank you, mjmacky.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillTheCat:
Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I had no luck fixing mine, but hopefully the much anticipated ICS release for Inspire will fix it.

Just as a correction, Enhanced Email WILL save sent messages to the server, you just need to tell it which folder to use.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adumi:
For some reason I could not make enhanced mail do that, I simply couldn`t manage to change the Sent folder to the desired name, probably missed something.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BillTheCat:
In EE open the email account you want to change (the message list) then: menu - folders - press/hold the folder you want as the target - select the popup for 'set as sent folder'.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adumi:
Thanks, now Enhanced Email works for me too. I have a problem, though, in both native email app and Enhanced Email - same behavior - message is placed now in the correct Sent folder and is synced to server properly but if it contains an Attachment - the attachments itself will not be synced. The Attachment IS being sent and is being received by the recipient but it is not stored in the INBOX.Sent Items, on the server, while with the message that contained it does get synced. As consequence the message appears without it`s attachment in all clients using this IMAP - including in the sent folder of the android client that actually sent it (Be it EE or native Android Email)

Any ideas, please?

This manner doesn't work on Xperia Mini Pro

Dear mjmacky

I've tried your manner but it did work after I changed the type to corrospond number.

But when I synchronized my imap email with the native email app, the type automatically

change back to the wrong numeric. Is there any other setting I should do? Would kindly

have your advise? Your help will be highly appreciated by me. Thank you.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mjmacky:
I abandoned this thread after I made the post because it didn't get any replies for awhile and I thought they would have fixed this by now. Personally, I have completely switched over to using the Gmail apps since their functionality has vastly improved over some of the native email apps. With that in mind, if you're still trying to tackle your issue, there is something to keep in mind:

My procedure could be device specific, meaning you might have to do some exploring to find the correct db file. I haven't really messed with this in 2 years, I just stumbled back and am surprised to see a post as late as December 2012.
