[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWalker01:
im hearing all this "its easy to get an unlock code for the Galaxy S" but the guide isnt that clear to me and i dont want to risk bricking my galaxy s while rooting it.

So would i just be able to buy an unlock code instead, i came across one site that was recommnded on these forums but it did not list the Galaxy S on there.

So does anybody know if i could buy an unlock code that i can just enter into my phone without any rooting and stuff? and where could i buy one?

thankss

edit: even if somebody on this forum could get a code for me, they would obviously need to have some kind of rep on here though, not just somebody with 20 posts :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babaji.ca:
There's an app out there for the galaxy s. You don't even need to root your phone. Its called "SGS UNLOCK" if I'm not mistaken. Worked great on mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWalker01:
Ive tried that but it says no code found. It says that the methods with roots are much more sucessful

i would just go ahead and root my phone but it sounds risky and i dont know where i would start with rooting it. Where is the guide on here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWalker01:
Well i rooted the phone myself and i downloaded the sgs unlock pro app that seems to be working for everybody but i just crashes for me :(

this sucks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
You tried the unlock-service on "samfirmware"?

I didn't test it but maybe this works.

Just download one click root to your computer and plug your phone to the computer with debugging on and than click root. Thats it.

Buy the pro version of sgs unlock app from market and you are done. Its that easy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWalker01:
thats exactly what i did, it said root was sucessful and the app appeared on my phone. I then downloaded the pro ulock app and pressed unlock but the app would just crash and quits soo i just refunded the app.

I dont see what i couldve done wrong. I didnt have an sd card in the phone and i had debugging on.

thanks anyway. So i cant just go ahead and buy a code like the good old days?

I've been playing with my Defy for a while, and I've not found any Mp3Player that can do play/pause/next with the included headset AND ALSO answer calls when they come in with the same button.

I used to have a Nokia 5800 which had an awesome headset with play|pause|next|previous|stop|answercall buttons.

I've been unable to find something like that for Defy (android really), is this an "issue" or does it have a solution?

Thanks in advance to whoever helps :D
[Defy General] gramps50:
Can't say for sure they work as mine haven't arrived yet but Zagg Smartbuds are suppose to be able to do that using multiple presses and long presses & an analog volume control
[Defy General] elhefe:
Thanks for the answer, can you post your results when you receive them?

It's funny cause MY headset on a Galaxy S with Winamp configured exactly the same, actually goes to the next song with double press, but not in my defy.

Hope yours work fine =) I want to be able to at least skip songs and also answer/hang up from the headset=)
[Defy General] gramps50:
Got my ZaggSmartBuds today and had a chance to play with them. At 1st I wasn't real happy with them as all I could do was pause the misic and if I did anything else like long press or double press it would open up the other players I had installed. So I started gettting rid of them one my one, I had Mixing, Songbird, & Tunewiki, plus the stock music app.

I don't remember which one I think it was Tunewiki with nothing else installed when you douple clicked or long clicked it would bring up the voice command app. Didn't try answering the phone as it didn't work the music apps well. Un-install all of those and installed PowerAmp and now I can answer the phone, music pauses when the call come in, answered it by pressing the button on the headset. Music returns at the end of the call when the party hangs up or you press the button again.

Long press and it will skip the playing song and go to the next one. There are some options in PowerAmp to set the button to Double/Triple click, so you can go forward or reverse didn't try that option.

The SmartBuds came with 2 sizes for foam ear pieces and 3 sizes or silcone ear pieces with a nice little hard shell zipper case to carry them in. I liked the volume control inline even though it was analog I didn't have to adjust the volume on the phone from it's normal setting yet I could still adjust the volume or mute it. I didn't have to turn the volume down for the call as it was to loud but was able to do that with the inline control. The buds have amazing sound. It takes a little practice to inset the buds in my ears as they are angled once I got the hang of it they slipped right in.

Hope that answered your question
[Defy General] gadzio:
Hi,

As gramps50 wrote above, with PowerAmp you can set up in the option to : play or stop the music with the handset button, when a call is coming, the music stops and you can answer with the same button. When you finish your call, the music restarts automatically.
[Defy General] elhefe:
Thanks both for the input.

I'll give that a try. It still amazes me that a BASIC functionality like the Nokia headsets include, does not seem to be available on this phone! it's really weird!
[Defy General] psicodelico:
App called Handset Button Controller maybe help you.
[Defy General] elhefe:
thanks! i've used poweramp and it worked fine=)

(x-posted from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863898&page=2)

Phew. Just replaced my digitizer using the latter video. Putting it back together was fairly straight-forward by just following the video backwards, though a 'put back together' video would be convenient.

A couple minor caveats:

They skipped showing some phillips screws holding the motherboard in place (near the end). I think there were two of them. They're fairly obvious if you know to look for them.

I attempted to reuse the existing adhesive by reheating and applying pressure. This sort of worked, but the digitizer seems a tad loose. I don't think it's going to fall off, but it'd probably be better to remove the old adhesive and apply some fresh adhesive. Anyone know where to get a suitable adhesive?
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
The comments on the YouTube video say that 3M adhesive works, or buying the adhesive for the iphone and cutting to fit.

My wife calls and says, "I dropped my phone.... (pause)... and shattered the screen..."

I'm going to order a screen and bust this out soon. Not going to be easy as I fractured my left pinkie metacarpal a couple weeks ago. Needless to say, dexterity is a bit low right now and that video doesn't give me the most confidence.

I guess she'll be back on a G1 (CM6) for a while. At least its still Froyo :D

Guys I need some help here please

Clear plastic piece and settings button info

I had to fix the screen for my niece's phone. Go to imgur and type 'QW7TI' in (I am not allowed to post links as a new member). Where does this go? I have looked at numerous tutorials and cannot find what it belongs to. Second, when I put the phone back together, the settings button does not push down. It seems to be fine until I place the back cover plate on. Then this puts pressure on the area and the tactile click does not work and the settings do not come up. I need this finished by five for her birthday. It was her mother's phone and she had shattered the screen. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

2 things:

Make sure all of your wallpapers are 960x800.

I'd recommend using either Flikie HD, or Zedge. Personally I use Flikie, and when I find a new wallpaper, I put it in the Flikie/wallpaper folder, and load it like normal; selecting Flikie, navigate to your flikie wallpaper folder and it'll set the wallpaper proportional to the screen

Both Flikie and Zedge have a great selection of wallpapers too
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AngelaB:
Flikie is not bad! I'm crazy about it recently!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Oprah (IE):
I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about but..

1. First make sure the resolution is correct

Orange square is for resizing when choosing wallpapers. Drag the corner of it to make it as big as possible :)
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
I was wondering if there is a way to access the file that the update downloaded via the Motorola Software Update application.

Is it possible that I can store the downloaded sbf file? I just came to know that Defy has a 2.51 france sbf (maybe I didnt know it and it exists in this forum).

Can someone please help me on this?.

Cheers!

PS: Apparently all the previous 2.21 versions from France, Germany have also got the 2.51.1 update. It would be good to capture this file in the software for any warranty problems if we need to flash back to the original updated firmware. The problem of downgradability is also solved because all phones now officially run 2.51.1 which can be flashed back from any froyo firmwares.
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
OK. Guess no one wants to help or knows nothing about this.

I managed to find the downloaded sbf without updating my device.

I disconnected from the software update as soon as the file was downloaded and here it is

http://www.mediafire.com/?o4dckhi8bykidwm

JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTFR_P043_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

This is the 2.51 France version of Eclair. Since Defy came out of box for all those in europe with 2.21 france and they would be scared to lose their downgradability this solves the problem. Because Moto officially released this and the german version of 2.51 eclair now we can easily move to any froyo roms and come back to this in case there is a need to give it to service centre or claim warranty.

Download this and keep it safe. :) If nothing works and you are stuck while flashing other froyo sbfs then this sbf should get you at least to boot in eclair.
[Defy Android Development] Mcdomms:
I hope not to use this sbf, since my Defy is currently out for the earpiece problem, but you never know. So I'll keep it, just in case something goes wrong.
[Defy Android Development] Citynomad:
Thanks :) You wouldn't happen to be able to download the german version and upload it later on? It would be good to know to have the official update as a backup...
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
Which rom are you using now?.
[Defy Android Development] Rhyr:
I've got my Defy from France with the 2.21 FR rom, but i haven't noticed any update. Is that normal?

If i go to check for update, it say me that i'm already up to date...
[Defy Android Development] Peglezn:
So did I, im guessing u bought sim free defy like me, so no OTA updates for u

u can do 2.21->2.51 update over pc (motorola update program)

thats how I updated it yesterday
[Defy Android Development] Rhyr:
Yes, i have a sim free. No OTA update (frozen eclair mod can be the cause?).

As soon as i have a windows pc available (i'm running linux on all my home computers) i'll try to update.

Thanks,

[Defy Android Development] Citynomad:
I'm actually running on 2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE. (the german release of the ROM -> pre-installed on my Defy) Thanks to the apps and tweaks I installed, it is not a good base for a stocklike Backup ;)

So, if I would have to send it in, a clean ROM would be nice.
[Defy Android Development] Peglezn:
nah, that aint the cause ..I had original 2.21 FR rom and it didnt find any updates on the phone ...I think if u buy sim free u dont get any OTA updates

I think im gonna flash to the new fin froyo deblured version soon, I really hate this blur stuff
[Defy Android Development] larry_bml:
For going back from Froyo, to Original Ecalir, you will need a boot rom too? If yes, maybe someone can upload a version of boot rom that is working with this original Eclair.
[Defy Android Development] Rhyr:
I will also do the same, after sending the device to the customer for the earpiece problem :-)
[Defy Android Development] chaihg:
For all those asking about upgrading to 2.51.1 from 2.21. The OTA update is not possible because motorola is not known to sending most of its updates this way. Only if there is a froyo firmware, will it give it through OTA.

So all you have to do is download the motorola software updater from the site and just follow whatever it says. Its as simple as that.

If you dont want to install the firmware but just download it and keep it for further use like me, just in case you brick your device or if there is a warranty issue, then connect your phone as per instructions>the software will detect your phone and start downloading the 2.51 sbf file>go to C:\program files\motorola\software update\firmwares and then wait till the sbf is downloaded.

Once downloading is complete it will ask you if you are ready for update. Just click CANCEL. The update will not be pushed to your phone. Now go to the Firmwares folder I just showed and copy the sbf file. None of you should be worried about warranty because it is a company upgrade and this has nothing to do with voiding a warranty until you do not tamper your software or hardware.

This can be done for any software upgrades. Its safest and best way to get your hands on a company sbf file.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
RSD Lite actually runs fine in Linux with Wine so no need for a windows pc. :)
[Defy Android Development] Rhyr:
Really thanks for the info!!!

Before flashing i must do something like data wipe?
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Yes full wipe and then flash the sbf. Be sure though that you don't try to downgrade from 2.51 because then you brick your phone. And just search for more information. It's all on xda already!
[Defy Android Development] Rhyr:
Thanks again!!! :-)

Wow, could you provide some info on that (Distro, Wine version etc). I tried to get it running on Ubuntu Lucid but had no success.

Hi All,

Can someone please post a nandroid backup of this. Its not a hurry but if anyone can do it I will be grateful.

I decided to install VooDoo lagfix on my new captivate when it still didn't have anything on it to minimize potential loss of information. I downloaded the lagfix, got it started, then the damn battery popped out when I got off my bed a few min into the mod. Immediately I felt like an idiot. Now, when I start my phone I get this sequence: ATT world phone screen, then a GALAXY S / GT-I9000 / SAMSUNG screen which it freezes on.

I have odin3 v1.7, but I'm unable to get it to Download Mode with any of the methods I've found (I don't know what I need for adb or what it is though...).

If I attempt to go go into download mode with Vol + & Power it shows a circle of radial lines, then it goes to a battery with the circle of radial lines (and I'm still holding both Vol + & power), then a black screen, then repeats what seems an indefinite amount of times. If I release the Power or Vol buttons it stays black for a couple seconds then it goes to the charging battery screen.

If I plug it in and turn it on with odin3 running, the phone stays on the frozen GALAXY S screen, odin3 recognizes it as COM6 but wont allow Start.

Any help would be great. My intuition says it has to be fixable if it's software.
[Captivate General] Zeebz:
Not sure if this will help, but earlier today I installed a theme on my phone that wasn't supported by my kernel by accident. The phone went to the AT&T World Phone screen then hit the Samsung Galaxy S screen and froze. I pulled the battery out to unfreeze the phone and then I put it back in after a few seconds and turned the phone on. I immediatly did the three button method and held it down so the phone did the AT&T World Phone/Samsung Galaxy S thing. I kept my fingers on them and the phone rebooted again (which is supposed to happen) and I kept the three buttons held down so again, it rebooted. After the second reboot I immediately took my fingers off the buttons when the AT&T World Phone screen popped up and I got into recovery. Now, this is a theme so it's totally different, but it's worth a shot and hopefully it works for you.

But if that doesn't work I still wouldn't worry as you most likely didn't brick your phone. If it was bricked it wouldn't be turning on at all and Odin is reading it at least so I'm sure with the right help if my method doesn't work, you can fix it.

Hopes this helps you man!
