[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auditor81:
Hello,

truthfully if I wasnt locked into a contract for 18 months I'd throw this phone in the canal.

Out of the box it's complete and utter tripe nothing works on it, it lags between apps, bluetooth crashes phone, can't connect it to PC, couldnt update the software etc etc utter utter rubbish.

I finally updated the software to 2.2 via the 02 stores 'Tec Guru' yesterday. I thought 'great at least the phone will work now'. I was wrong.

It still is completely unrecognised from the PC, it just says 'connecting' when I run Kies and hangs there like it did before I updated to phone software.

I can appreciate if your tec savvy it may be an easy problem to sort but for the average person this phone is a complete joke, I hate it I really f***ing hate it.

Honestly how does anyone think this phone is good? all I want to do is put some music on it, I may as well learn how to do a full MOT on a 88 Ford Fiesta it would be easier then overcoming the non stop hurdles this damn stupid phone throws at you.

Samsung suck, this is the most bug ridden overpriced tablet of ****e I've ever seen.

I've tried everything to get this tab of crap working, it doesn't, it's a shower of crap. If anyone knows how I get a PC to recognise and connect to this turd of a phone I'll be your webs slave for an hour and write out your emails etc.

Arghhh pleasse help if you can

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you could have simply asked

"How do i connect the phone to the PC to transfer Music files?"

without the need for all that extra colorizing decor around it

first make sure the Drivers are installed

You'll need to either download Samsung KIES, or download Android SDK from Google

reboot the PC / MAC

then connect the phone to the PC or Mac, make sure it's connected directly to the computer and not through an USB HUB

once connected slide down the notification screen, and select the option to MOUNT USB

After that just drag and drop the files music you want to carry on the phone

An even easier alternative

just put the music into a microSD card

then put the microSD card into the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auditor81:
Thanks for advice, apologies for my venting earlier just had enough of all the problems this phone throws at me.

Right best I can do is connect the phone to the PC via mass storage, my PC does now recognise the phone after finding the USB drivers finally.

I have drag and dropped music into the download folder of the phone, I've disconnected from USB and the music is on the phone so that's good.

Is this best I can do considering Kies doesn't recognize the phone?

I have hundreds of seperate MP3's that I'd like to make into specific playlists on the phone. Would I be able to do this via mass storage considering Kies doesn't work?

Finally, can someone recommend me a video playing app that plays MKV files if possible? If that's not possible just the best video player app in your opinion as the standard one on the phone kinda sucks.

Thanks in advance for your assistance :)

Has anyone experiences with bags for flipout. i dont have one because of the formfactor...but i would like to have a cheap solution. maybe a bag which belongs to another mobile and works for the flipout?

or a camerabag...

I found a case on Amazon UK for around £3.50 if that's any help. Can't remember the name but I just searched for "Flipout" and had a browse through the seemingly endless array of incompatible tat they have. The cases are pretty cool, range of colours, pretty hardy, dirt cheap. Mine's breaking already but it's kissed the kitchen floor a good few times now.

my last bag by bagmovil wasn´t a good solution...bad quality! now i have a bag mady by my own...a piece of leather and some wool...very save for my flipout
[Flipout and Charm Accessories] DylanKeyne:
For anyone still reading, I'm considering the PDAir belt pouch range.

They have what appears to be a basic slip-on case, a standard belt holster type with magnetic closure top strap, and another belt one where the front cover flaps over allowing you to open the Flipout, although the downside is the clear plastic top part covering the keyboard.

Search for "PDAir Flipout" on Amazon.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tibets:
just thought i'd post to explain the problems i had and what solved it.

Bought phone on ebay with

radio 1.58.25.17

and WM 6.5 can't remember which version but definaley cooked

Phone kept showing bizarre battery readings and would shut down after taking a few photos or occasionally when reciveing calls and making calls

installed new rom but still no joy, so decided to install a the shipped orange 6.1 rom and radio and now works fine. This obviously won't go down to well with you guys and after reading someone's post a changed radio might have done the job just as well. Have to say thou even thou the orange version is a bit bloated it does the job and solved the problem :)

hope this helps someone and thanks for all the info and time from everyone on this forum.

Hey guys, I'm having a rare problem (it seems) that my phone is dropping calls.

Whenever I'm connected to "G" and sometimes "3G" I can not send nor receive calls, but sms seems to still function.

I have a T-MOB HD2 running WP7 with radio 2_12_50_02_2 and I am on the T-mobile network.

I have tried switching radios, resetting the device, but so far no luck!

Any suggestions are appreciated!

This belongs in general.

Just extract the apk from an official rom and copy it to /system/app using root explorer.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
And how do you extract it?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] sneakysolidbake:
Well you're going to want a stock rom on hand. Use long press in root explorer (or similar app) to unzip the 3g mobile hotspot apk. Then copy it to your phone.

You mean to have the nandroid backup or actually go back to stock and then access the system files?

Humm, so i see, all the apk s are stored in the system folder. So for example you prefer to use the blur phone app, then you delete the one from your rom and change it for the blur one?
[Nook Color General] Hextall:
As the title says, I rooted with "AN" 3.0 and 1.1. I erroneously thought this was good to go... but apparently this isn't the official autonooter's team 3.0 release. One of the issues is clockworkmod doesn't work (actually... it works... you just can't get out of it). I'd like CWR to work to install Froyo and eventually HC.

I'm wondering if anyone has downgraded their nook to an unrooted stock 1.0.1 and then re-rooted with the latest official Autonooter (2.12.25)?

I guess these are my questions:

1. If I do the 8boot interruption + data clear (from nookdevs site), does this unroot the nook?

2. if I do #1, and it's unrooted, will I still be on 1.1? I installed 1.1 before AN3.0.

3. if #2 is true... I'll have to downgrade to 1.0.1. But the links in the AN2.12.25 to get 1.0.1 now only provide 1.1 on B&N's site. I can change the URL to the 1.1 download to the 1.0.1 download, right?

Thanks for any help.

My email ( default email app, not gmail app ) wont sync automatically, I don't have a task killer, doing some research I am starting to think its because I don't have a universal inbox app.

I am not sure if I deleted it or if my ROM ( Phoenix ) came without it.. Is it why my email app wont sync automatically ? if so, can I get a universal inbox app from someone please :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
what is your email account which is not sync?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortionist:
All of them! 3 gmail accounts, and 1 hotmail account.

I don't use gmail app, I just want one program for mail, so I have been using the default app, which I believe is a samsung app. I removed gmail, and I may have removed unified inbox thinking its for facebook and stuff I don't use. I am not sure this is the cause but my accounts using the email app wont sync automatically, I have to manually tell them to refresh.

If its just that missing unified inbox app maybe I can get it off someone, but I don't know.

Can someone shed some light on this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
you can use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to get hotmail's email, so it will push the email to your phone.

Well I need 1 client for everything ... something is wrong. The default mail app used to work at some point, I just want to know why its not syncing mail every 15 minutes like its set to.

Is the default mail app ment to work with universal inbox? I thought mail was an android app and universal inbox is a samsung app, so I doubt it, but why wont it sync?

[A7 General] thalian1:
Hello,

Just got my Elocity A7 and so far my feelings on it are mixed. When it does what I want it to, I love it! But I am having a couple of issues....

1. How do I copy files from the sd card to the internal memory? I am trying to get the Nook app to recognize some epubs I have loaded on to the sd card. It does not see them at all. I was thinking the solution would be to get the files copied to the nook\mydocuments folder the app created in the internal memory but I cant figure out how to move the files. I tried connecting the A7 to my PC but when I do the PC does not recognize it at all. I tried running terminal, thinking I could just move the files that way, but when it opens, how to you type? Do you need an external keyboard?

2. Every USB storage device I have connected to the A7 just says "checking for errors" and that never seems to go away so it doesnt seem to be mounting the USB devices correctly.

3. Is it normal for this device to have a very limited wifi range? I have several other wifi devices, including the original nook, a media player and a laptop all of which work fine throughout my home but the A7 does not. However, I applied dexter's mod and then did the new official update and that seems to be a bit better now.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated! I have about 12 days left before I can no longer return it so I really want to make sure I can get these issues resolved before then since after its going to be a lot hard to return if I want.

Thank you!

Chris
[A7 General] jimcpl:
Re. 1 - I don't have an A7, but it should have a file explorer apparently, and you should be able to use that to copy. For term, try pressing the menu button, or longpress to see if a keyboard or input method menu appears.

[A7 General] dbrock:
****** All below is from my experience using Dexter's Mod 1.1 ******

1) OI File Manager should be in your list of available mods. Open it, click on the SD card icon at the top. You are not at the sd card level yet, but the A7s symbolic sd card. Go down and find sdcard-disk0 as this is your actual SD card, click on it to open the sd card. Continue to find the desired file. Long hold on the file and a menu appears select copy. Now transverse your way to the desired spot to drop the file (Not in the folder, but to where you can see the folder -- you may not have write permisions to drop a file in some folders -- using a program such as Root Explorer will let you see if you have the right permissions). Long hold on the destination folder, and a menu will appear again. Select copy. Reasons this may not work...permissions and ownership. Linux/unix is particluar about these things.

2) More than likely your USB device is not formatted FAT/FAT32 must be to be able to utilize that type of device.

3) My range isn't extremely strong, but it is not bad. I use it in sever environments from sitting on top of the access point to being down a hall in a brick building with several walls between the A7 and the AP (lots of other devices) and it seems to work. My co-worker has an iPad and it is as strong as the iPad.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: Thought maybe I should add the following. I have tried several Droid Tablets/Pads and sent them back. Without Dexters mod, this one is not bad. With Dexter's mod it is near perfect (multi-touch would be nice). I am planning to develop software on it and use it as a organizational tool. I have DesktopToGo for editing office products and that works really good. PDF's rock. Music is pretty good (although my Archos 705 has my entire music collection on it with room for a lot more and several movies). I am using compiled help files (have extensive collection of ebooks in PDF format and CHM format) and those are awesome. I can tether this with my Droid phone and it in effect has 3G with no additional expense. I can VNC into my home computers and work computers and have full SSH access to all my servers. Several interesting games are awesome and I can keep up on Facebook and Twitter including playing a couple FaceBook games (and search for my previous posts and you can find out how to update Facebook). The face to face video/front facing video is not a huge item I would use, but it would definitely be adequate. Volume from the speakers is low, but works. Battery life is fine. I guess I am not sure what more I could want to do with it that I haven't been able to figure out. So for me, and mostly because of Dexter's MOD, IT IS A KEEPER!
[A7 General] robbbzilla:
I am about to try Dexter's mod at version 1.2 when I get home from work tonight.

So far I was on the fence about this device. I think for me I really wanted 3.0 on it and I did not have the patience to wait until 3.0 was released and there was some time for tablet makers to catch up. So in part my dilemna with this device is my own fault for being impatient. That being said I think there was some mis-information out there in regards to the touch screen which is one of the reasons I bought this device for future upgrade.

Now I see for $100 more I can have all I wanted in the newer device about to be on pre-order feb 15th. Of course $300 was a stretch for me so $400 is out of the question. I thought of returning this and getting a nook but the Tegra is so snappy and I just do not know if the Nook will be as responsive as the Elocity is but at least I know someone has already put 3.0 on that device.

My thinking is that there are so many talented and genius type developers who love to tinker and Dexter is one of those who I am so impressed and grateful to that at some point they will figure a way to get 3.0 on here some how!!

However, as you stated so well in your post as it is right now this device really is very nice. It does a heck of a lot and does it pretty well.

I have been thinking despite its shortcomings and unless you spend a lot of cash most of these devices have some shortcomings that I will say almost it is a keeper!! She is so close!!

I am hopeful that when I get Dexters Mod I will be equally happy and it may just lean the tipping machine in favor of the Elocity.

Ok my phone is DEAD! Yes I have have read alot of posts and used my mate "Google" but they are all saying or pointing to the threads saying flash with the .sdf files with RSD which I have done Infact i've tried most .sdf images. I work in ICT so I know to do research first before posting but I'm not getting anywhere. I just hope i'm being a numpty and missed something.

I have an unbranded UK one original version 2.21 and I had successfully flashed with the available roms on here and others by following the steps, but last night I flashed it with PAYS rom and it was fine but then it all went pear shaped when I tried to flash it back to the original 2.21 rom via RSD Lite but it's just a black screen and when plugged in I get a charge light. The Battery is fully charged.

I can not enter Bootloader and when I enter system recovery it does not respond when pressing the bottom right hand corner.

RSD does see the phone connected and it runs through the process of flashing it but then it goes to re-boot and nothing. RSD says it's finished, it does not go through the process of re-booting the phone.

In RSD on the phone properties this is all I get:-

IMEI/ESN/MEID: N / A

Technology: N / A

Software Version: N / A

Flex Version: N / A

Bootloader Version: v0x000910

DRM Version: N / A

I'm no expert, but is this where the touch all four corners going clockwise starting is upper left comes in?

Thought I read something about doing that when touching the single corner didn't work to get into recovery.

I could have misremembered (don't even know if it was in this forum), but it couldn't be that hard to try and it doesn't sound like you have much to lose.

maybe search four corners or something to figure out more.

On a life experience tho, my first even bricked device......woooohoooooooo!

I've had quite a few phones that I have customized from here, top effot guys. There are many greats minds on here.

Did you send it away?. You sounded like a bright guy we could have solved this together though :(. Ultimate thing you could have done was to flash one of the leaked original UK froyo sbf.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11226369&postcount=5 works for me :D

Umm... I just bricked mine (HK version 2.51.0) as well. :(

I used ClockWorkMod Recovery for Defy to install 3.4.2 131-003 Orange Deblur. When the recovery finished, I found a tiny yellow line "E: can't open /cache/recovery/command" on the bottom of screen. Not sure if it was there before the recovery. When rebooted the phone showed the M logo for a minute, turned black for a second, and showed the M back again in loop.

Then I installed RSDlite 4.8 to flash the sbf directly. RSDlite finished and showed a "Pass". The phone was turned off automatically but couldn't be turned on again. The battery was fully charged before I started the update so it's not likely the battery charge problem.
