for flash to stock, boot into download mode, start the odin, then plug in the usb cable.

for master clear, you need to boot up the phone and enable the debug mode. start odin one-click, then connect it using usb cable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanctus Peregrinus:
What does Master Clear actually do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante04SRT:
Yeah, that's basically what I did - HOWEVER, After flashing the phone to stock and enabling USB debugging, I couldn't get ODIN to recognize the phone again. I wound up having to go to a diff computer to use ODIN-1-click to see the phone and perform Master Clear. ...and Yes, the computer did recognize the phone, ADB confirmed it.

Please Help!

I am currently running Firmware 2.2 Baseband Version UCJI6 Kernel 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee@sep-11#1 Build FROYO.UCJI6. I updated to that with odin3 so my phone hasnt been rooted either. Obviously I want to upgrade my phone to a more recent version of 2.2 but am not sure how to go about it. I tried to update the kb1 that was just released but kies mini will not read my phone. Although I def could go without all the bloatware. Can anyone please help me. Id really appreciate it. Thanks!

Right I rooted my N1 today, all went fine, then I had some issues trying to install a new recovery image (still on stock recovery right now) and I've rebooted my N1 and INSTANTLY AFTER the screen with the big X and the padlock my screen turns off. Everything seems to work but u can't see anything.

I can access fastboot and recovery so it seems like there may be some hope for my phone. Any ideas people?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tbirdguy:
good news is its not bricked, just flash new rom from recovery...

read the tutorials on doing this, and I suggest going to the n1 forums on this site
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] addam360:
Cheers thats great news! Only issue is I have the stock recovery image and my laptop isn't working exactly right when I try to flash a new recovery image. I'll have to work on setting it up right I guess but since now I know it'll work its worth it. Already gone most of today without a phone and theres no way I'm reverting to my Motorola DEXT.

Thanks.

On Verizon / LTE can you turn on/off the 4G radio? Or is it automatic?
[Thunderbolt General] contractkilla:
can't say until the phone is released as any that are already out are pre-production phones and likely don't even have the LTE sim card.
[Thunderbolt General] RaptorMD:
Given the luck TB followers are having it's auto-sensing and not an on/off switch unless HTC put a widget in there for it, which would be nice. But its Verizon we are talking about.
[Thunderbolt General] MePascal:
I agree Raptor....but one a root has been established one would think devs could make their own widgets/tools for that on/off function.

No it doesn't have one, only way is to force it into 3G only mode in the ##DIAG screen.

[Thunderbolt General] Russ36363:
Excellent, I was kind of worried about that with the rumors of the excessive battery drain, especially when I'm working a few miles from the edge of the 4G range according to their maps (which are taken with a grain of salt)

i swear i will post a pic soon off my nexus s, but just to let you guys know:

all my wifi is 20mb/s plus...i have never gotten this on practically anything.

nexus one 9-10 mb

ipad 12-15mb

nexus s 12-15mb as well

this is clocking on avg 20-22mb

ANYONE ELSE? This **** is BEASTMODE. Im going to make a baby today! WOOO
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
I think the AnandTech.com review said they got 72mb/s with it. It was the fastest phone/tablet they had tested over wifi by a mile.

I haven't tested the wifi connection, but as far as the internet connection on wifi goes, I was getting around 11mb/s, then a minute later I would get 1.5mb/s, then I would get a bunch of pages that wouldn't load.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
What's the max you can get on WiFi? Isn't it 54mbps?
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
its rated at 72Mbps they only got 36Mbps out of it which is still fastest phone/ tablet they have tested. iPad was the leader with 30.something... Looks like the Optimus 2X also had 30.somethingalittlelower... :)
[Xoom General] BBalz:
i can't get above 12-13 on phone or computer...

I get 19-20 mb/s with the tab on the same network.
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
Same here, i'm consistently getting 20-22Mb/s on my Xoom. My DroidX never goes above 16 or 17.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
if you have a wireless g adapter. i believe wireless n can go up to 128 mbps but dont quote me on that
[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
yeah, im only quoting you on how off you are on this statement. haha. very off
[Xoom General] socomdark:
that made me lol so i give you thanks. yea im not quite certain on how wireless tech works. Im just going by what i remember when I had xp and it told you bitrate down at the taskbar if you hovered or the wifi signal. When I had a wireless b/g router it always said 54mbps but when I got a wireless b/g/n router it said 128 mbps.
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
well the a/b/g/n bands are in both wifi bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. The a/n bands are in the 5GHz band, and it has a higher data transfer rate, but shorter distance. It goes thru brick walls easier tho.

wireless n can get anywhere from 130-160 realworld, and is capable of reaching 300mbps. but if your router has other devices on it that operate at any of the 2.4GHz bands, then you'll greatly decrease your speeds using n.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
thanks for the info. I have been more of a gamer most my life but recently got into tech last year so im still learning.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
OK, I know this is an Android problem from my past experience. But is it me, or are others having this problem as well?

Problem:

Wifi connection on and working.

Bluetooth headset on. I turn on bluetooth, connects to headset.

Wifi connection gone. Wifi still on though.

Bluetooth connects. Music plays.

I force a reconnect with wifi router.

Music starts skipping, controls become jerky. Wifi becomes unstable.

Disable wifi by turning it off completely. Music streams beautifully with full controls.

I'm on my Omnia 7.

I also have another problem with Bluetooth. This thing gives me static interference all the time when in the car, but I think that's a wifi thing. I usually have wifi + bluetooth +3g on all the time. :) Gonna try in the car without wifi on from now on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stillriza:
I tried this yesterday but both bt & wifi worked without problems. In regards to static BT in the car.. I have that on occassion with my Smsng Focus. At times I get crystal clear audio (cd quality) when i stream audio to my bluetooth enabled cd deck.. and at times.. there is static or loud hissing in which I'd have to disconnect and reconnect bluetooth a few times before the distortion goes away.

I read somewhere that it may be caused by 3G connection consuming more processing time than BT/wifi or how the priority is setup in the drivers.. don't quote me..it was something I read a while back.

I hope samsung doesn't stop making new phones. One flagship model a year is very reasonable. Aside from a few specialty models here and there for specific carriers, they certainly have the right idea. One new phone a year is great and the one I have now will do just fine until my contract is up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
Right all 12+ million are going straight in the garbage on galaxy s2 launch day, because everyone has the cash to buy a new $500+ phone every year and the galaxy S will all of the sudden be less capable.

'Bleak future' because the next version is out? Hate to break it to you but all these pieces of tech are dated and have replacements in the works before they even hit the shelves. There is no 'future' for any of them, just a moment in the sun and the glory starts fading almost instantly. Enjoy what you have and focus on the new tech when you're ready to pay for it again and start the cycle anew.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzyn:
The performance of the samsung galaxy s is absolutly fast enough (-> imo with speedmod and lagfix it's brilliant). Furthermore Gingerbread will also come for the i9000, so no need to worry. I think Samsung will not drop the phone's support so soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lttldvl:

Considering cm7 is almost stable, i'd say this is the beginning of the i9000

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
Even more, if you look at "older" device, like the HTC vogue, it got the latest version even if it was running WinMo before... Even if samsung cease support for the SGS and 2.3 or 2.4 is the last available "official" port, we got plenty of support from the devs in here for a long time!

At the end of the day with all these dual core processors are they really going to be able to do anything our single cores can't?

The only immediate advantage i can see is for gaming, its not like web browsing or texting needs two cores.

As for nfc well i can't see it replacing bank cards any time soon. Everyone thought visa and the like would spell the end for cash and it hasn't.

I think its a lot of fuss over nothing and is only gonna be good for people who like to measure their e-penis!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
im more than happy with my SGS and i wont panic into buyins the SGS-2 until i think its necessary,

2x processors = 2x quicker battery drain... unless there is a massive breakthrough in powering a battery for longer.... we will all be carrying our own personal 'car battery' to keep our phones running.

it will be like going back to the 80's with a phone bigger than a breeze block.

but if you can afford a new SGS-2 by all means go for it !!! but us SGS 1 owners aint embarrassed... there wont be a massive difference IMO except our wallets will be lighter and maybe our credit rating a bit higher

who cares.

Can a noob like myself state that the OP is talking utter, utter nonsense without being accused of flaming? I know I shouldn't get irritated, and please let me know if you think I'm out of order, but such ludicrous generalisations as the OPs, stated as bald fact without any evidence whatsoever deserve to be shot down, IMHO.

I've had my Galaxy for two weeks. It's doing everything I need it to do, and thanks to the wonderful people here, it's tweaked to death, quick, responsive and has also become my main music player (thanks supercurio!). I see absolutely no need to even consider replacing it because something new and shiny is just around the corner. Something new and shiny is always just around the corner.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exinferios:
Personally, I thought of it as an excellent idea to buy an SGS, still do. I'm not made of money so what I tend to do is purchase one unlocked, flagship device and then keep using that one for about 36 months (upgrade schedule is usually 18 months for flagships). I essentially skip an upgrade and then get the one after. That way, I save $500-700 by not just jumping ship, get the newest and greatest before it comes out here(U.S.) without ever having a really outdated device, and always have a device that's popular enough to be supported, and doesn't have the carrier restrictions or bloatware.

It's a matter of what is going to be popular and supported for a duration of time that meets or exceeds the time it takes to have saved money vs a carrier subsidized device. Since I'm not bound to make contract changes with my carrier for getting a smart phone, I actually save it in the long run and make it back by the time it takes to get the new one.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
ragin, I'm disappointed in you, I thought you were more mature.

New phones are released every week now, doesn't make the SGS any less capable.

It has one of the best CPU/GPU combos on the market (second best next to Tegra2/Exynos). It has one of the best screens on the market. It has a huge dev community with tons of great ROMs and CM7 running great. Samsung has pledged Gingerbread in the next few months.

If anything, the SGS has had the best post-purchase support of any phone I've owned (especially compared to the Milestone see my sig).

The G1 that my brother has is not even outdated yet, still has one of the more active dev communities on XDA and has a plethora of Gingerbread ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Thanks for your edit ragin - pondering is much better, and apologies if I was over-sarcastic.

As said, I'm a noob, also new to android/smartphones. I do however know my mp3/music devices, and the constant desire for The Next Big Thing seems to me to be common to both. For instance, I own a Cowon S9. Bought it on release in December 2008, and love it - a great device. I've played with a friend's J3 and although it's clearly a better upgrade, I'm still not going to buy it. The S9 does what I need, basta. Why try to fix what ain't broke?

Of course, if the iPhone 5 has 128G, SuperDuperAMOLED++, 6789 years battery life and the same SQ as $5000000 of a top-end home setup, I'd still rather eat my ears than buy it. There are limits to logic!

Why are you obsessing over the Galaxy S I9000 getting decommissioned? It is going to happen sooner or later any way as it happens with every piece of tech. The dev's will make sure it doesn't just fade away as with something like the G1. Plus a recent GB 2.3.2 leak ensures that even Samsung isn't giving up on the I9000 quite yet.

If you ask my 2 bits, let it fade away if and when it has to. Don't speculate or obsess over it. ;)

if i may seeing that today it was announced that the gingerbread 2.3.2 was leaked we are still far off from the end of the device i personally think that 36/device is more than acceptable. even then devs esp the guys here wont let it just fade into the background

i will however say that i am upgrading possibly for s2 purely because my brother wants my sgs and i thought i may as well get the new one but will wait for price to go down to something more palatable.

thats my 2 pence worth anyways

I still have my G1 and it's running Gingerbread... and that's freaking ancient compared to my SGS! If the OP thinks it's the end let 'em drop £500-700 on an SGS2 personally I love my SGS it out performs everyone I know that has Android and why would I need a SAMLED+ when it's only slightly brighter and thinner?

Sure I will eventually get an SGS2 but not till the price makes it worth it.

As stated earlier in the thread no apps even support it and won't for a while as there is still a huge market for people running Hero's G1's GT540's etc and they aren't anywhere near what the SGS is.

Samsung are realeasing GB for the SGS so it means they've not dumped it, They'd annoy a few million users if they did...

[Captivate Themes and Apps] GTIVRon:
Hey guys. For a while I was using a wallpaper that was actually two wallpapers, half on one side half on the other side, and 2 homescreens. What this did was let me have a "different" wallpaper for each homescreen.

I am completely redoing my homescreens with widgets and to make it overal more informational/functional. I will now have a total of 4 screens, I might stick to 3 screens if I get rid of my calender/agenda widget.

The problem I'm having is when I make a wallpaper with 3 or 4 images of the same size as the screen, when I go to set it, it forces me to select an area based on that aspect ratio... I want to get rid of it, so I can use a wallpaper that's 3 or 4 "screens" wide, and use 3 or 4 homescreens. That way when I scroll over screens it has a different background.

Is this possible? with either forcing the picture manually somewhere? or with an app of some sort?

Thanks in advanced for any input!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
You just need to shrink the image down to the right size.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] GTIVRon:
Thats the point... I don't want to have to make it the aspect ratio it wants me to. I have a picture the size I want, but when I want to use it, it cuts off extra on the side that I put there on purpose in an effort to make it appear that I have a different wallpaper for each homescreen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Its not the size that you want if its cutting off the sides.... lets toss some logic into this.

There is a live wallpaper that does what your looking for, its called multi live wallpaper or something similar to that.
