[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCdumb:
I think my phone is dead.... can anyone help me verify that? I've been reading all over and tried all ways to get a response, but there's none.

I pulled the battery and let it sit for several hours before inserting. - No response.

Put in my spare batte, have it plugged to charger. Also no response.

Plug to PC, PC doesn't even see the phone.

Cannot go into recover, download or boot or show any signs of life.

It was charging fine one moment (last saw about 80%) then about 10 min later, went to unplug to use.... but found the phone dead and rather warm. (not sure if that is usual since the batt was being charged)

Anyway, I flashed my phone only 1 week ago using "Insane" kernel and doing Overclock to 1200 with about -75 undervolt across the frequencies. Did I kill the phone by doing this ???

What are my chancs of getting warranty on it if the service centre manages to find out it had been flashed??

What are my options now? Any other areas to chek and try to recover?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Well, if you can't get into download mode, there is still one more step to try before giving up. Go to ebay and search for I9000 usb jig. That might be able to force your phone into download mode. (They are cheap. Very cheap.)

If that doesn't work, there's nothing else you can do but to bring it back to a service centre.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCdumb:
Check out the info for the rig you mentioned. Apparently, it doesn't wotk for phones that are totally dead. i.e. no signs of life at when buttons are pressed, no lights etc.

I brought the set down the to service centre and luckily, the lady there did not ask me anything much. She just swapped out the batt to verify, plugged into USB charger to verify... then started to fill in the form for the phone to be sent in for repairs. Though she's not the repair person.... she did mentioned that all data would be lost and most likely a new board would be put in.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that'll be the case... just gimme a new PCBA w/o trying to repair the current one. Hope they don't have any diagnostic tool/fixture where they can boot from a "debug" chip (such as processor, etc) to do board level repair.... then it might just show up that I'm running a modified kernel & ROM.

They cant check, if you were runnig custom ROM. Stop worrying, mostly they do not have a choice but to replace PCB. This is my personal exp. with samsung.
[Nook Color General] azj:
A couple of questions:

- I've read that the SD based images of Froyo and HC actually put 4 partitions on the SD card. It was suggested that, since the 4 partitions likely won't use all the available space on the SD card, it's possible to expand the last partition to use the rest of the card. I downloaded EASUS partition manager and tried to do that but it appears that it's only seeing the first small partition. This is on Win7 64 bit. Is EASUS the right tool for this and, if so, how do I get it working.

- So far I've used win32diskimager for writing the images to SD and it's worked well. Since I've only got a couple of SD cards I wanted to make a backup of the contents of one so I could try a different build on it. When I read the card I only got a 100+k image instead of the 2G image I expected. I suspect that's the same first partition that EASUS seems to show. How do I create an image of a card?
[Nook Color General] will2live:
hmm....that is kinda weird. I use EASUS myself and have Win 7 64 bit also. that said I just did the process to expand my bootbale HC sdcard to get all the sdcard storage space back after burning the bootable image to the sdcard. One thing I did notice tho is that if you have EASUS open prior to plugging the sdcard into the comp it doens't read correctly. So I reboot my comp leaving the sdcard plugged in. Once the comp came up I went into my comp to see what the size showed. The card was labeled a "boot" and the size was only about 120Mb. I then closed the window and fired up EASUS and it showed as Disk 2. Under that I have the small boot partition, along with an ext2 & ext3 partition each about 675Mb in size. Last partition was the sdcard and under that showed "unallocated space" of about 13Gb. I clicked ( ie highlighted ) sdcard and then was able to click the Resize button on the tool bat in the progrm. From there I grabbed the slider and slide it all the way to the right and it set the sdcard partition to just under 14Gb. Click okay and then last but not least just click the Apply button on the tool bar and it resized it.

As for your other question I can't comment at this time as I don't have my Nook or my sdcards with me to take a look at what they show up as for size when read. I'll try to take a look when I get home and report back on what I'm seeing.
[Nook Color General] bigdude-bn:
Have you tried using the Win32diskImager read function?

I'm not near my computer, but I am pretty sure there was a read function in there..
[Nook Color General] azj:
Yes I did use the read function but the image file created was only 100-some k, way smaller than the original Froyo image that I wrote to the card.

I wonder if the SD slot on my laptop and/or the SD adapter that came with the card is funky, preventing a proper read of the card. I'll have to try the other adapters or an external card reader I have to see if I have better luck.
[Nook Color General] will2live:
If I'm not mistaken the 100-some k partition is normal as it is only reading the boot partition IMG. My 8Gb bootable sdcard comes up showing as 119Mb when you look at it in My computer and check the properties. Reason being is Windows is not reading/seeing the other partitions. However in EASUS all the partitions ( 4 of them boot,ext2,ext3, and sdcard )should show up and that should allow you to resize the sdcard as that is the only thing you want to mess with anyways.

As I said earlier I will check this out tonight when I get home as I have at least 3 different bootable sdcards, and also a 16Gb sdcard that has HC flashed to it so I can run the OS off of it and still leave my CM7 setup on eMMC. One one darn day I don't bring it with me to work......lol, typical I tell ya.
[Nook Color General] Thirtybird:
I had tried to extend mine using windows DISKPART at first, and all of the partitions were listed, but they were all marked partition 0. EASUS did the job for me when I couldn't select the proper partition in diskpart (all of them being partition 0 confused it). Windows Disk Manager also saw all 4 partitions, but couldn't do anything with the last partition. Verify you've got 4 partitions using either diskpart or disk manager - if you don't see all 4 partitions in those programs, something went wrong with your image burn.
[Nook Color General] azj:
Unlikely that anything's wrong with the burn since Froyo boots and runs fine off the card.

I tried the card in the other adapter I have in the laptop slot and EASEUS still doesn't see the other partitions. Then I tired a cheap USB reader I have. EASEUS saw the partitions and allowed me to resize the fourth partition. Another hurdle cleared. Note to self use card reader from now on

[HTC Inspire 4G] MoparRebellion:
Hi folks! First off absolutely outstanding work on the ROMs going around in here. Your work has made my Inspire go from mild to wild BUT...

BACKGROUND: The issue I am experiencing I have done extensive work to try and diagnose down to a particular issue. All the testing done here was done between different ROMs and kernels and to ensure accuracy all data was wiped (boot,system,data, cache, dalvik,) and roms were installed exactly the way they were released with their packaged kernels intact.

ISSUE: I have great clear audio with the current ROM im using (Core 3.2, 26.05.05.27 M3 radio, leedroid 2.6.32.30 kernel 2.2.4) but dispite the excellent audio I swear that I can hear the input from the mic at the bottom reproducing sound in the ear peice. The best way i can describe it is to say the mic gain is WAY too high and that its pushing any sounds from the mic to the earpiece. Some callers report hearing an echo. I can with 100% certainty confirm that CM7 does not produce this issue and I also believe AR3.0 doesnt cause this issue either. For lack of a better exacmple, I would say it sounds like if you had two phones, called the other one and accepted the call and held both phones up to your ears allowing the sound to "loop back" into the earpiece from the mic.

P.S. I also know that when this issue is present I also notice an increased amount of background hissing noise. Very faint and completely within acceptable limits, I can just tell there is more of it.

Call me crazy but I just wanted to bring this up incase anyone else sees this.

Thank you all and please continue youre incredible work wiht the ROMs here

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] franciscojavierleon:
i am currently searching some apps to help you locate your phone.

both ios and blackberry have free apps that lets you ring, wipe, send message, lock and locate via gps your phone. even blackberry has the added feature that will backup your data, and can even be configured to do it automatically or just over wifi.

what options do we have on android? for what i have searched there is "where's my droid" that has some basic features with sms but due to a recent android restriction it cannot turn on gps
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] LancerV:
Lookout Mobile Security
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bleuiko:
Motoblur actually has a device locator and remote wipe built in.

https://portal-blur.svcmot.com/blur-web-portal/
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] LancerV:
My only issue with that is if someone gets ahold of your phone they can wipe it really fast and than your sol. With lookout you can at least lock the phone so no one can use it
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] irus:
not if you already have a lock on your phone via fingerprint scanner or pin
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Greenarcher707:
Wavesecure also works good.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mrjack711:
http://preyproject.com/

Prey works quite well.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
Prey..

but a very lightweight one..

TheftAlarm... is a pretty small one lol. not a lot of functions but.. it checks on anyone who puts a random sim on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] DarrellRaines:
Someone else mention Motoblur and I have to say this is the best option.

Combined with any type of screen lock, fingerprint scanner or the standard locks, you would be safe and sound. If someone tries and switches out the sim card, the phone goes into lockdown until your motoblur account name and password are entered.

You can track the phone and remote wipe it all from their website similar to apple's mobile me.

Prey is a good option, but not as reliable on the tracking portion I think. It does have however a nice lockdown feature.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Zerxer:
I've always used MobileDefense but I noticed no one here even mentioned that so perhaps it's really not all that great?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
MotoBLUR's tracking with Autowipe (free) from the Market is winning in my book.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] riotburn:
Motoblur couldn't locate my phone. Just kept searching for a while and then it just stopped.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] DarrellRaines:
Is gps on?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] motoatrix:
this is a cool feature.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tonman23:
motoblur would be perfect if it could turn on gps. Pretty sure lookout has the ability to turn on gps for you. Also has a pretty neat tool called plan b that can install and report location after your device goes missing.

As of right now I have my gps on at all times. If I eventually turn it off I will switch from motoblur to lookout.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] DarrellRaines:
You could also use androids web store to push programs, but not sure if it would auto work or not
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tonman23:
it will def. work with the "plan b" application because it is designed to be pushed out through the web store after the fact. It installs remotely and even enables gps for you. Within 10 minutes it emails your google address with the location of the phone. If it doesn't work after ten minutes you can send a text to your phone with the word "locate" to force it.

haven't tried it but I like the idea

Does anyone know how to turn off the 3G radio

turning off the GPS?

I know the airplane mode trick will turn off 3G but that also turns off GPS, which some Google apps need.

I hope Google gives us dedicated radio toggles in 3.1.
[Xoom General] sangreal06:

That is the correct way to do it.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Airplane mode really should be used when you want ALL of the wireless turned off, including wifi. It's strange that it lets you turn it back on while in airplane mode. I guess it makes sense for those planes that now have wifi.

Also how i use my phone overseas without having to worry about a big ass bill.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Are you sure GPS is off in Airplane Mode? I run in A-M too when I'm on WiFi, and I've definately seen the "GPS on" indicator come up when doing something that needs my location.

But to be sure, I downloaded "GPS Test" from the market, turned on Airplane Mode after getting it, and GPS test was able to see some 6 satellites (inside- we have some really nice hardware!).

I don't think GPS is off when in A-M.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Well, it actually does kill-switch everything when enabled- which is what it's supposed to do, but it's a good thing that it allows selective re-enabling of BT and WiFi.

Besides, GPS is a reciever (unlike BT/WiFi which also Xmit), but while I'm aware of the heterodyne issue, that leakage is FAR smaller, and the only way to fix that is to turn off the device altogether.

I'm Chinese, so my English is not that good, and I'll try to explain it clearly.

I have a epic, and use the official EB13, this afternoon, when I was trying to create a short cut of a website to my home screen, this happened suddenly:"Sorry！ the application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twluancher)has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"

It comes out again and anain, I have to turned off my phone and restart it, but it still comes out, I then tried to take the battery out, but it doesn't work.

Now every time I try to go to the home screen, the phone just vibrate and come out the sign:"Sorry！ the application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twluancher)has stopped unexpectedly. please try again", and this sign appeared again and again so I can't use it. Phone and message works but I can't go into the home screen so I can't open other applications...

As I've installed a lot of applications , I don't want to use Odin, is there a way to fix this problem?

By the way，even if I want to use odin , I can't download the "SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5".In China, many websites such as youtube, facebook and twitter are forbidden, and multiupload.com is one of them, so I can't download it...

It's 22:46 in China now, and my school is going to cut off the electricity, I'll come back tomorrow.I really appreciate it very much if any of you can help me.
