Fix the dead soft keys! (it works i9000m)

hello you all after hours and hours of looking for a solution to fix the soft keys on canadian galaxy s vibrant i have come to an answer that works!!

if you did the touchscreen update in gingerbread.gkg3 and after that your soft keys died its easy to get them back up.

first thing you need to do is get odin and be able to use it.

second thing youll need to use is gt_i9000m_ugl2 from here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1102881

once downloaded flash phone,pda and csc.

when youre done that reboot and let the 3e recovery do its stuff it might take some time.

boot into android and go to your dialer and type *#*#2663#*#* and press touck key fw update.

voila after this you should be able to get them to work.

if you need any assistance feel free to ask.

i spend days looking for a solution.

i dont know if it will work in any other i9000 devices as this is only for i9000m form bell.

[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
I need to return my current SIM and get a new one because of SIM failures. I have the stock ROM with a custom kernel, but it still has a custom boot logo and sounds. Should I restore my phone to stock before taking it, or just take it as it is. I don't know what he'll say, but I just don't want to rush anything.

Thanks for helping. :)
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
Just ask for a new SIM card...they give them out for free around here. No need to hand the phone over.
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
+1, and if you're tmo reps are cool, they may like seeing it off stock software.
[Vibrant General] bnielsen40:
What they said...just leave the phone in your car so you can make sure the new sim works before leaving the store.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
TMO people do not care about the phone unless you are returning so, you can show them etc, hell I rooted one of the reps' phone for him,

Just ask for a new sim, if it is old they may make you buy one, but they 8 bucks or around there
[HTC Inspire 4G] invalidefexx187:
Hey guys, i have an inspire, i was wondering if i activitated an old att basic messaging phone unlimited data plan, would it work with my inspire? And would it provide mr with the same speeds?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] PatrickHuey:
Are you a new customer? Or are you conming from a previous smartphone like an iPhone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpossoff:
I have the same question.

I just bought an Inspire for a dumphone line that didn't have the $10 unltd data. So I guess there's no way around this line since I already bought it? I bought it at full retail no commitment. We still have the original device.

But we also have 2 other dumbphone's in the family plan that are ready for smartphones. They don't have $10 unltd data. If I got the $10 unltd on each now and in about a month(when we are ready to buy smartphones) can we get untld data on the 2 new smartphones?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
you can try, but it wont work because as soon as the IMEI of the inspire registers with the network, the auto sweep tool bumps your line to the proper smartphone data plan.

but i would definitely give it a shot. however note that you dont want to lsoe your grandfathered unlimited data plan if that is what you have, and once you get bumped it might be impossible to get it back.

the best choice, which is how people avoid this, is to only use non-ATT phones that they dont know or consider smartphones. but the inspire will get detected guaranteed immediately.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpossoff:
This is my situation;

1 iPhone unltd data(grandfathered)

2 dumbphones with no data(messaging phones)

1 recently bought Inspire with 2gb data plan

My question is about the 2 messaging dumbphones. They currently have no data. The 2 want smartphones in about a month. If I get the $10 unltd data now on the 2 messaging dumbphones can I buy 2 unbranded smartphones and be able to get unltd 3G data? Do I need to get a $10 plan for each messaging phone prior to buying an unbranded phone?

I'm not going to mess with the iPhone 4 with grandfathered unltd data.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nekt0:
I have a Captivate with IP3G unltd. data and 2 regular lines on a family plan. I can't upgrade Captivate but use upgrade on 2 other lines. Can I order Inspire as an upgrade for a regular line and use it with my IP3G SIM from Captivate?
[HTC Inspire 4G] egyan:
My experience with this:

I had a theory about iPhone 2G data plan trick and did my own spin on it. With my Inspire 4G activated and powered on, I put an old SIM card into an iPhone 2G and activated the iphone through iTunes. It let me switch to the iPhone 2G unlimited plan + 200 txt for $20, but the actual voice/data did not switch over to the iPhone because the SIM card is old/unprovisioned.

I don't know exactly why, but I've been on the unlimited 2g + 200 txt (no MMS of course) plan for three weeks now with no data plan bump. The AT&T account website recognizes the Inspire IMEI (displays the Inspire on my account). However, it will not let me remove the 2G plan and upgrade to the smartphone personal unlimited.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JWGWulff:
ATT has been really sketchy about this... all you have to do is call customer support or go into the store and say that your unlimited was removed without authorization.

I got mine back on. You will need it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpossoff:
I never had unltd data on the messaging phones. I know which unbranded phones I'm going to purchase in about a month.

What should I do to take adsvsndage of unltd data on the new unbranded smart phones I'm asking. Get the messaging phones on unltd data now or it doesn't matter?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roboblock:
I have a Desire HD and to try fixing my poor gps I installed an older ROM (1.32), to see if that makes any difference. I didn't...

Now I want to send my phone to HTC for repair, but I want to do a factory reset first.

The problem is that it won't reset. I can select the reset, click through the warnings and the phone resets, but it simply restarts.

When I try to reset in the bootloader, the same happens.

Can anyone give me some tips?

In order to install an older ROM, I had to root my phone. Unfortunately, I can't remember the precise steps I followed to root it.

I tried some methods (psneuter/Visionary/ClockworkMod), but I can't tell which eventually did the trick.

Please help! :P
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_felge:
So you already tried flashing a stock RUU? 1.32 or 1.72 This should be the easiest way to reset your phone including unrooting etc. You can find these here Stock + RUU

Another way if you still have CWM installed and root / s-off / eng-off, you can use fullwipe.zip. easy wipe

But you need a ROM to install from your SD card.

You better go back to a stock ROM before sending in your device, warranty issues!

Hello all! I think the title of this is self explanatory: Permroot is not working! LOL. Anyway, I am using the bnice method to root an evo shift. I get to the end, all the numbers match up, bootloader shows s0ff, reboot, airplane mode, visionary temp root, then attempt to root, phone reboots, then i delete visionary and superuser, then reboot again and there is no root. What am i doing wrong? any ideas?

Thank you for any help I can get!
[General Topics] burndog79:
finally!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have liftoff. LOL. Thanks for all your help on this.

I finally broke down and used z4 instead. Same process, but you must remmber to add the word "busybox" (all one word) before each command (only when temp rooted with z4). then, at the end, once bootloader says s 0ff, rebooted, and temp rooted with z4. it hung on "rebooting" and i finally shut it off. then i turned it back on and I was rooted. I don't know how or why, but when I uninstalled z4 etc and did a factory reset I stayed rooted. I hope all of my shinnannigans helps the next person with the same problem. or maybe my brain is the problem IDK> LOL anyway, thanks again for all your help

So I was using SC 2.2 or 2.4 and I've upgraded to 2.8 and I've noticed this issue across both ROMs....

Someone will call my actual cellphone number and my phone will not ring or notify me that I'm receiving a call at all, and the only way that I know I'm receiving a call at all is because I have it set up so my home phone will ring when it connects to my voicemail through google voice.

After extensively playing with the prl's and what not on this phone as well as the continuum, I've determined this to be a hardware/software problem on Samsungs part. I am running into this very issue and have been even prior to rooting the phone. Then again, I receive upwards of 30+ calls a day lol

Edit: Also, could be an issue with you just not having service where ever you were. I know it's no in my case, as I've tested...extensively.

Edit of another Edit: Plot thickens, it's just not happening on Sammy phones nor Verizon (Which I don't use anyways). After talking to some buddies who do the same thing as me, it appears it's happening across multiple carries and phones. T-Mobile non-4g phones appear to be reporting it the most.

So I bought NOVA and I've been trying to run it but after I do the initial install of the apk I can't run it,even once; when I run NOVA it fc right at the beginning when the screen first turns black with an error saying com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftNOHP stopped unexpectedly. has anyone else had this problem? know of a solution? gameloft is useless, I sent them an e-mail a week ago and they finally just responded with a new download link and the new apk does the same thing. I've changed kernels and everything and I just can't get this thing to work. btw I have the sprint version of the tab that's on EXT4.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
Wipe the data+cache for the app, uninstall it, delete the gameloft folder from your SDCard and then reinstall their APK and let it download its data over a WiFi connection, the data download might've become corrupted.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neosepia:
Hi all,

i got my sgs like 3 weeks ago and started to work with it. 1 week ago i saw the battery mod which i would have liked to install but couldnt.

Thing is, i'm on a I9000-HKYAMN 2.2.1, the recovery mode is 3e which wont let install zip bundles nor i have be able to get into clockwork, also tried to install the battery mod via adb but it just wont do.

I started lurking here, and have been taking a look to the kernels and roms avaliable.

After reading the FAQ i got to clear many things i didn't understand but still i wanted to ask for advice. I've seen many different ROM's and kernels but im still not sure.

I'd like to get the 2e version of recovery, or at least be able to get the clockwork's one, which would be far able enough to do the little things i'd like to.

Where would u recommend to start looking at?

thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
As I understand it, you just need to flash a kernel using ODIN that is CWM compatible. Such as SpeedMod, or SOK, or DamienGTO's...just about all kernels on XDA, really. Once the new kernel is flashed, install Rom Manager from the Market and have it flash your recovery with Clockwork.

The first kernel I flashed was SpeedMod, since his instructions for flashing via ODIN are very clear and very easy.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neosepia:
Thank you very much. Just two more questions:

Does it matter the version of the kernel? (ex. my is XXX, the other is YYY. Is it a problem?)

Flashing the kernel makes everything on sgs fly away isn't it?

thank you very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davestar2000:
Assuming that you aren't root, you'll have to use Odin to flash a new kernel. I would recommend the speedmod kernel. Here: http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html you can get the drivers, Odin and the kernel. Following the guide it shouldn't take more than 5min to flash the new kernel. You will get the ClockworkMod recovery, which brings many tweaks and the ability to run zip files from the SD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davestar2000:
Just get the latest version (K13C at the moment).

What do you mean with "fly away"?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
No, flashing the kernel won't wipe your data or apps...at least it never has for me. Just be sure you follow the directions on the SpeedMod site EXACTLY.
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
Hello. I have had the phone since xmas, I don't know if it came with Android 2.1 or 2.2, anyway I am now with the latest update, default Rom with adw launcher ex for the home screens. recently I needed the gps, it's been weeks now, and I could nevEr use it. I got the signal only once and it took such a long time and it found only 3 satellites. At least I know the gps hardware receiver works.

I have already used status gps, agps function with WiFi and 3g, mysatellites, gps test. Didn't try a hard reset, since I know there can be an easier and more comfortable solution.

Which one is it? :)
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
The phone has been bought in Switzerland...forgot to say.
[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
GPS is of very low quality on android phones and it really depends on AGPS service. IPhone has the best GPS of them all connects in 7 seconds without AGPS
[Desire HD General] karthics4:
Desire HD has a gps chip/sensor built in and can find a GPS signal on its own without network signal but it take a while. Try using an app such as GPS Test. A-GPS will provide faster signal because it will use network triangulation.
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
If the GPS is so bad as you say, why does GPS Test find the sattelites in about 5 seconds and locks on in about 10 seconds? (with 3g/ wifi off)

The lock on time has a lot do do with the radio firmware. Which one are you using?
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
@niks_5in you are wrong and your answer was incorrect. What should you say then if I say that with my touch HD and windows mobile I had a gps fix in 3 seconds? we don't need a winner in this thread, we just need to solve the GPS problem I have.

@karthics4 I did write that I already used gps test, status gps, mysatellites....fix doesn't happen. I can find maybe 3 satellites after half an hour, the next day is the same story. Even with AGPS, refreshing position and everything...I also have a 3G connection when I am outside...i can find my position with AGPS but of course it is not as precise as the normal GPS position....it just cannot get the fix on the satellites. even if I download the latest AGPS data before searching the satellites.

@Flussen I don't know which radio. How do I check that? I have read about people having no problems with GPS on desire hd...and then after some updates of android system they started losing signal or even never getting a fix on the signal....i cannot say it is what happened to me. I should maybe hard reset and see if before the updates the gps worked fine. But I really don't want to hard reset since I have many applications, and games with saved datas...

Isn't this GPS problem with desire hd a common problem? I thought many people had those issues with the gps...
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Is your phone rooted? Because if it is, then the easiest way if all else fail is to flash a new Radio version.
[Desire HD General] jords12:
I occasionally have issues with the gps which are solved by the gps status app, with the newer radio and roms haven't had an issue for a while now. Fixes in around 5 seconds

do u use any casing for ur DHD.. I've had hard time on gps locking when using silicon case..
[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
I am not using any Rom I have not rooted my device. But as far as GPS goes my old Nokia n82 locks faster than DHD. DHD will lock in 5 to 15 seconds using AGPS. Without AGPS forget the GPS. It will take ages
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I can get a lock using HTC Locations in around the same time with just GPS and quite accurate to boot.

I can say the GPS/AGPS of the DHD is better than the E71, at least.
[Desire HD General] tiny2515:
Fix

I am not sure if you found a solution or not but i just managed to fix my own gps that has been broken for almost a year. Here's how I did it:

Remove the cover for the LED-light. The GPS-antennae hides behind it. Check the connectors for dirt and the circuits to make sure they are whole. Mine wasn't. I managed to solder them back to shape and can now get a lock in a few seconds, even while indoors.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaypm007:
Did you flash the bootloader as well? If you did and the bootloader goes out to lunch, then the Oden/Heimdall tools won't be of much use. In such a case you might be able to find some instruction on how to use a JTAG module to fix the tab. Though, taking the device apart is probably not a trivial thing.
