[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilJay:
Hi!

I have a really weird problem with my SGS.

When I'm installing ANY firmware (I've tried every single one) except of my original FW "JPB", I can't get my WiFi working.

There are actually 2 types of Wifi behavior on the different ROMs. The first one is when you're connecting to the Wifi and you can actually open Google.com, Android Market, etc, normally. But when it comes to a "heavy" sites such as youtube, wifi connection just freezes and nothing helps before you'll close the browser and reconnect to the access point.

On some other roms you're connecting to Wifi without any errors too, but you can't actually open any site at all. And only on FW "JPB" (which is russian official) there is no such a problem.

Also Samsung Apps doesn't work on other ROMs, I even thought that it can be related somehow... I know that there's no logic here, so I'm really confused. :confused:

Oh, and even if I'm installing Voodoo lagfix on my official firmware I'm still getting into this trouble :(

I really want to hear your opinion, so please don't hesitate to reply.

Thanks in advance,

Jay

10 days ago i bought a new micro SDHC 8 gb card, and i started copying music to it immediately. My phone did not recognise the card after that, giving me a "damaged sd card" error. Eventually i somehow made it work, and it was good for a couple of days. After that, it would copy files on the card without problems, but once the media scanning is completed, the files are not on the card :( So i went to the shop where i bough it and got it replaced, only to get the same results: after 2-3 days, the copied files arent showing on the phone, or the pc. It's like i didn't copy them at all. Can anyone help me with this?
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
i think you just need to format your sd to fat32 again... you can do that with mini tool partition wizard
[Galaxy 3 General] NaumN:
Yes, formating worked on the first card, but then the problem appeared again :( I can't format it every time i need something new.
[Galaxy 3 General] jazux:
true.

i also got the sd card damaged when i first inserted sd card but when i formatted it again it worked...
[Galaxy 3 General] NaumN:
What bugs me the most is that it's working with no problem for just a couple of days, then it's from the start again. I noticed a LOST.DIR or something named folder on the card whenever it acts like this, and the files and the size in the lost folder fits the size of the folders i'm copying...
[Galaxy 3 General] NaumN:
yep, the lost files definitely go into the lost.dir folder. Anyone knows something about this folder, other than that it collects all the lost data? Any way to recover the lost files? Why does this happen in the first place?
[Galaxy 3 General] osbozzy:
I had teh same problem ...

There's actually 2 options to get it working ...

1) Buy a class 4 or a class 6 sdcard. (Teh one which u get for free with u're G3 phone is class 2 sdcard and it sucks )

2) Remove teh stock applications and install some cool applications which's got teh option "manual folder scan" (You can select this option for force u're application to scan u're sdcard) Like power amp for music player and quick pic for viewing photos or wall papers or what eva ..!
[Galaxy 3 General] ghpk:
OP already says "new micro SDHC 8 gb card"

so there certainly some problem with how card is handled in his Handheld.

Can you mention which version of ROM is this ?
[Galaxy 3 General] osbozzy:
I kno :)

But he did not say whether he bought a new class-2 8gb sdcard or calss-4 ..!

sdcard class makes a difference :P

Or may be he can use teh second option :)
[Galaxy 3 General] liraindon:
The card might be bad or a fake with less memory than physically present, which would explain the corruptions and files in the lost files dir - the filesystem checker puts lost file blocks there.

Maybe test your card with something like this:

http://fightflashfraud.wordpress.co...ld-standard-in-detecting-fake-capacity-flash/
[Galaxy 3 General] NaumN:
Hey guys thanks for the new reply's, but i already took the card to service, and it is a fake. I'm waiting for a new card to arrive at the store and take it.
[Galaxy 3 General] osbozzy:
I too should have taken it to the store and got it replaced :(

Too bad i didn't think of it :mad: :eek:
[Galaxy 3 General] NaumN:
You should have! I used an application which determined that the card is fake by reporting it's true capacity, told the store about it, and they scanned their products, eventually learning that all of the cards are fake (the Kingston ones). Now, i'm waiting for a new shipment to arrive and get my new card. Hopefully it will not be a fake.
[Galaxy 3 General] osbozzy:
What application did u use? Can u pls post teh link here ..
[Galaxy 3 General] NaumN:
It's this one. The test takes time, but it helps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthbith:
Hi,

I hope this isn't a repeat, but I've searched here and Google to no avail. It may be I'm not searching the right things, because I'm not quite sure how to succinctly describe this problem.

I've rooted my DInc, with S-Off enabled. I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1 now, installed from ROM Manager, which is no version 3.0.0.7. I've got ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 installed as well. When I first rooted my phone, etc. about a month ago, I made a nandroid backup, so I figure its time to make another one. Open ROM Manager, go to Make a New Backup, choose a file name, it reboots into Fastboot. If I then select "Reboot" by pressing the Power button, the phone boots back to Cyanogen and there is no (new) backup file in the clockworkmod/backup directory, where I expect it.

If I select "Bootloader" from the Fastboot menu, it takes me to the HBoot menu, with the options "Fastboot", "Recovery", etc. Then, an error message appears very quickly, about missing PB31IMG.zip files. I'm not sure about the exact text of the message since it disappears so quickly, but I've searched around and it seems to be because that file is missing from the root of my sd card (I checked on Windows, its not because the file is renamed to .zip.zip or something). Solutions such as formatting the sd card to FAT32 (it is, according to Windows) and reflashing ClockworkMod from ROM Manager do not help.

After the error message disappears, I am able to select "Recovery" from the HBoot menu, and the screen flashes the white with black text "HTC Incredible" startup screen before dropping me back into the Fastboot menu. At this point, I usually just give up and reboot and keep using the phone as normal.

Does anyone have any idea where the problem lies? Can someone link me to the proper PB31IMG.zip file for my phone/ROM/radio?

Radio: 2.15.00.07.28

HBOOT - 0.92.0000

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmbhaggis:
Have you tried reflashing ClockworkMod from within ROM Manager?

Personally, I've never had this happen, sorry if reflashing doesn't help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthbith:
Yeah, that's how I was reflashing ClockworkMod. Thanks anyways.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
Try going into ROM Manager go all the way to the bottom to All clockworkmod recoveries and try flashing a different version of CWM Recovery...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthbith:
Flashing back to 2.5.1.1 appears to have worked...does anyone have any idea why 2.5.1.2 is apparently broken (probably just on my device)?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
I've seen other people reporting problems with 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.2 on amoled devices. They've suggested going back to 2.5.0.5.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradsinram:
my bad didnt see last part
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackules:
I have the exact same problem, except my hboot reports as 0.78 I believe. Either way, the hboot menu is as far as I can get. Any other selection causes continual reboots. This started happening after a spontaneous reboot while driving down the road. I wasn't even using the phone. I do have the latest Clockwork on it, but it really doesn't matter because I can't get to the Clockwork menu anyway. Just the fastboot menu.

It says that USB is enabled in the hboot menu, but with it plugged into my PC, it won't show up in Windows. It's obviously not far enough into the boot cycle to do that.

Any suggestions would be awesome. I see about a dozen other topics started complaining about similar issues. If I leave it sit on the hboot menu, it'll sit there forever and is stable, so I don't believe it's a phone issues. It's almost like, if it were a PC, the boot sector is messed up and it needs an fdisk /mbr. I understand, that doesn't work, I'm just pointing out that I believe the behavior to be the same.

Thanks to anyone that can help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackules:
I guess that, with no way to get into Clockwork and no way to replace Clockwork, I'm kind of stuck. Replacing Clockwork was an idea, but I'm not sure how to do that since hboot is all that's available and I can't choose any options without it rebooting continually. Is there a way to just plug the phone in and reflash Clockwork from my laptop with a Windows app on the laptop?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
Do you have Rom Manager installed on your phone? If you do you can always use the last option to install a different version of Clockwork. Give that a try...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackules:
I can't get past the "hold down and power" menu. That works fine, but anything I pick reboots the phone. I can't get into the OS at all because it just continually power cycles after I choose from the boot menu. I re-flashed Clockwork and no luck and I've re-flashed the entire phone to stock, same thing. It IS stable and the recovery menu you though. I can jump around in the menu, turn USB on and off, etc, just not boot into anything. It's literally like a computer that needs fdisk /mbr as all of the data seems to be where it should be.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
I would try to flash any custom and see if that gets the phone to boot normally.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackules:
I took the stock build-3.26.605.1-release-152016-baseband-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000 and zipped it as PB31IMG.zip and when it boots, it'll take the images and flash them. It flashes all of the images in the zip and it takes a little bit to do that. Then it goes back to the menu and I restart it and it goes into the cycle again...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
Hmmm. I would have used the unrooting guide to go back to stock just to get the phone back up and running and then unroot it again. If you do go that route DO NOT apply the 7.28 radio again because you will brick you phone being that you already have that radio flashed on your phone. What custom ROM or Kernel were you running before all this happened? I would try flashing that again but clear the data and cache first and see if that gets the phone up again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlpineM3:
I'm currently running the latest Senseless Revolution ROM and did upgrade to the latest ROM manager, but haven't flashed anything yet so no problems........yet!

Should I downgrade to CW 2.5.1.2 anyways since it was a bit sluggish when checking for MDsum?

I've read about some people having crazy problems and others actually not reporting anything bad......so what is the verdict? I'm trying to prepare myself first rather than finding out when my phone is stuck
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nate23:
I seem to be having some of the same problems. I upgraded ClockworkMod to 3.0.0.5 and was able to successfully boot into recovery. I installed CM 7 nightly, then ended up restoring to a backup of CM 6.1.

Now I can't access recovery, when I try I get stuck at the white droid incredible screen. My phone can still boot up so I tried downgrading ClockworkMod to 2.5.1.4, but it says an error occurred while flashing the recovery.

any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete_kowalski83:
Are you renaming recovery to PB31IMG.ZIP and updating through hboot?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nate23:
thanks, that fixed it!
[G Tablet General] GaryHypnosis:
I created this question and my browser locked up during the post. I hope this does not show up twice.

Does anyone know if the calibration.ini would calibrate any differently when the tablet is plugged into the AC charger VS when the tablet is charged up but running on battery power?

Someone had posted in another thread that his touch screen seems more sensative when plugged into AC power.

That makes me wonder, do you think the calibration should be done with Battery Power or when the AC Power adapter is plugged in?
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
I don't think it would matter, but you could always try it.
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
Fyi. Gojimi ported an app to the caliberation without the ini file. Check out the gtab app and theme section. So, you can try with or with ac more easily.
[G Tablet General] Rumbleweed:
Possibly being connected to the AC adapter impacts the capacitive touch screen

HELP!!!!!
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
Spent a lot of time reading these forums before I acted upon what I learned, and it payed off!

I wanted to try out a ROM, so I went with CM7, followed the FAQ in the developers section and 20 minutes later I had flashed CWR 3.x, installed build 26 of CM7, installed gapps, and was up and running. I have a nandroid of my stock build on my PC so I can always revert, and feel like a pro without actually being one. I even set up adb on my PC even though I never used it. Can't say enough about the wealth of information in these forums. While I ventured into random threads for my own amusement, all of the pertinent information was available in stickies, just as it should be. Can't thank everyone enough for their hard work and enthusiasm.

When I rooted my Epic 4g installed a custom rom my wifi and gps would stop working. I installed the modem and I was using dx28.

I also tried rooting my brothers epic 4g to see that its not just not my phone and I came across similar results. I followed the forums step by step.

I got so fed up that I returned the phone to stock forum, however I am getting a little impatient on Samsung to bring 2.2 because 2.3 is already out and 3.0 is coming pretty soon it seems.

The Roms I tried were, Nebula ROM, ViperRom, Bonsai, SyndicateROM, Supernova..

Even using just the stock 2.2 froyo leak I still have the same problem. Am I doing something wrong here?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othan1:
Even if you flashed everything correctly, this is caused by the modem. Start from scratch. DI18, DK28 Modem, whatever instructions you were given.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antlergoat:
I had the same problem with my GPS..

To get mine working.. I flashed to stock DI18 then Flashed the modem separately (DK28 moden only) then Flashed to Full DK28.. then custom ROM

This was helpful as well...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] FuRoRR:
So...basicaly-I have nearly decided to jump to WP7 for good.Im good with the battery life,i like the minimalistic feel and tile idea of the whole UI and there is one thing that i have cursed since the release...the nasty plain simple call screen ...with white letters on a black background ...or vice versa.Personaly i want to f**k up the screen with a knife,then run it over by a bus and then throw it in the sea all because that stupid layout.So my question is-What could be done with this issue?Could it be done like iPhone's green tinted while on call ,red while ending and with full screen contact picture?I have not,and can not look up trough the dump of the rom and couldnt know the structure and encription (if any).Because i just dont have the place and time to do it as im in constant movement due to my job.

This is just a discussion thread.I just want to know if this is managable.And maybe one day if it recieves enough views it may be done...

:D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
Don't think it can be done - WP7 is rather more locked down than WM6.5.X and if it is done at all, I doubt it will be soon.

The thing is how hard:D because the PS3 was impenetrable,hack proof and things...look at it now:rolleyes:Dont get me wrong i really like the option to change the style,speed,UI and feel of my device at will.And i may be asking for too much but for a person that is being noticed by strangers as a phone addict...the screen shows itself too much for me to bear :D Its interesting to hear other people's opinios on the matter as its one of the things that boogles me alot in the smarth-superphone world!:)

Also-do you know about an App like that for android where you can set your contact picture to appear full screen ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mengow:
If the executables aren't obfuscated, isn't it possible to dissemble the .net applications so we can modify the call screen?

Even so, I think the problem will be allowing the executable to be patched...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
OK I have been with TMobile for years but have found their customer service to have gone downhill in the past 6 months. My question is does anyone have any experience with simple mobile? If I understand correctly they use TMobile network and my bill would be 40% lower for the same service I have. I have read about them throttling much sooner than TMobile but that part doesn't concern me too much. Most of the time I'm near wifi and use very little carrier internet on a monthly basis. Any comments either way would be taken into consideration and appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LionAR10:
You're right, Simple Mobile is an MVNO of TMobile. I use them for my SNS (and previously Vibrant). They're low on options and support, but that's part of what makes it so cheap. $60/mo gets you "unlimited" (today's newspeak definition of "unlimited" is about 5GB or so, though "unlimited" used to mean about 1GB a while back until people got real upset over it and they changed it). Be aware there's no roaming on SM, which means if you're not talking to a TMo tower, you're not talking. Otherwise it's a great value and F subsidized phones and contracts.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Thanks for the input. Sounds like it may be a good option for me. I don't roam as it is but it's good to know in the event I travel to bring a prepaid sim if I switch.
