Use another usb port and make sure kies is closed when using odin. Try flash kernel and cook a rom and mount usb storage in cwm and transfer it from your computer and flash it :)

please try another PC to connect and you will finish it .

Often it's enough to reboot your computer.

Drivers installed?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] addicted2088:
Update Kies on your PC so that the drivers are updated, then try the procedure again. One guy had the same problem of ODIN giving connection problems and he solved it by updating Kies, which updated the drivers..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NoobProof:
clean the phone's usb port and cable and computers usb port then try again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karmacode:
I also tried with Kies, it downloads the update but when it comes to switch to Download mode my PC doesn't recognise the phone and disconnects it, blocking the update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phzi:
Sounds more like a computer problem then a phone issue. Like others have said, use a different computer with clean drivers.

My suggestion to i9000 users is to flash a kernel that has clockworkmod recovery, and then never use odin again. Cwm is a way better flashing method imo.

Try Odin 1.7 from my signature. It has helped a lot of guys incuding me in such situations.

Hope it helps.

Try cleaning the usb port

I had huge issues with phone recognition, sometime it would barely for a second, then it wouldn't. I've tries tons of stuff from the boards and then in a linux forum saw someone who cleaned the cable/ports with alcohol swab.

Did that and it works like a charm! Of course by that time I was pretty sure drivers/kies/odin were ok.

Can't hurt (if the battery is out...) and it ended a weeks worth of effort spread out over the last 3 months.

[Xoom General] huelsebu:
I'm sure there's lots of people out there who, like me, have not activated the wireless on their Xoom and plan on using it WiFi-only. The best thing to do is keep it in Airplane mode, as this supposedly keeps the wireless radio shut off. This is great, except if you shut your power off, Wifi will be disabled when you turn the Xoom back on. Not a big deal, and it only takes a few seconds to turn it back on, but so far I haven't really used the Xoom out of my home (so I always want wifi on)

I was restoring data after updating my Droid ROM when I thought of trying Tasker out on my Xoom. The interface doesn't look great on the big screen, but it seems to work ok? (Haven't done anything else with it yet on the Xoom). Anyway, here's the simple profile:

Context: Event > System > Device Boot

Task: Net > Wifi > Set=On

I suppose as a next step, you could probably add a wait action, and then have it check if it is actually connected to a network and disable wifi if not.

Anyone else try out Tasker on the Xoom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inthewayboy:
So I'm thinking of looking into making a custom ROM for my Epic, using EB13 as the base. I know there are some resources/links for older 2.1-based ROM's, but I'm assuming things are different with EB13/2.2 and was wondering if there are any good places to read/review? I know this has been discussed before, but searching the forums yields far too many results that don't really apply...again, I'm just looking for information that I can read and use, not someone to explain it for me on here.

I have the video out cable for my Dinc and It works very well, but I can't figure out a way to disable the main phone screen while I am using the TV out cable. I use it quite a bit on flights as I have some MyVu video glasses that let me watch movies on them. The issue is that the battery is being depleted very quickly due to havign the main screen on even though I am not watching it.

Is there an app or setting that will either let me toggle the main screen on or off, or let the screen sleep without stopping the video playback like when you hit the top sleep button?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
I would say the screen has to stay on because if the screen goes to sleep it stops the video player app..... as for the battery you should be able to plug the charger into the side of cords adapter I know I can with mine

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordz19:
hi everyone. I have installed third party apps for sms, contacts, and email. I moved the respective sys apps to sd card so I wasn't getting multiple notifications of the same event. Now my third party widgets do not know how to find contacts and the dialer. How can I configure where widgets link to?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
I have moved almost all of my system apps to my SD card. For instance, I moved Google search to my SD and when I mount my SD or when I reboot my phone the Google search bar is gone and it doesn't list it in my widget choices anymore. So, I learned that if I use a program such as titanium backup, absolute system root, root explorer etc. to uninstall it and then reinstall it, it reappears in my widget list choices. Make sure to make a backup of the app in question first before uninstalling it. I don't know if this is what you were asking or looking for but it's what it sounded like to me. I hope it helps.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordz19:
I know what you mean and thanks for responding but here's an example: I moved the stock contacts to sd and installed phonebook 2.0. Now scrollable contacts widget doesn't know what to do when I select a contact so nothing happens. I want to link scrollable contacts with phonebook 2.0
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidserious:
Do you have titanium backup? If so, backup the stock contact app and then uninstall it and then try to activate the widget and see if that will allow phonebook 2.0 to be recognized.
[G2 and Desire Z General] futuremonkey:
WHAT I DID:

From stock ROM, albeit rooted -

opened ROM Manager

chose to download CM7rc2, also ticked Google bundle

allowed it to do its thing

Could not log into Google account, same as with CM6 - why does it hate me?

decided to flash back to previous backup

This is where everything goes wrong

I got stuck at the "htc" boot screen forever. Waited more than 5 minutes.

Pulled battery.

Tried to restore other recovery images.

Most recent attempt: started a recovery, came back to phone, and noticed the power is off. It will not power back on. Am I just screwed?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Wait so can you get into recovery? Did it run out of battery?

Also a nandroid might take more the 5 mins to boot if you had a lot of information in it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mthayes:
Hey, not sure if anyone else has notice a trend on the 2.2.1 roms that have been put out, but on the phone call list, when you go the options to select which list to view by, the " All Calls " options has been removed. You can view by all logs or by the individual call logs such as incoming, missed, and such.

So to view all your calls you have to have your text messages listed also. I am confused why that choice has been removed. I see that option in my ASOP emulated phone. Was that something that Samsung did when they updated the I9000?

Whilst browsing eBay for Xoom accessories I stumbled upon the funniest things... One of them is a http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Leather-...912105?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf5c60de9

Other oddities were items that are compatible with the "Apple Motorola Xoom" and, of course, the "USB charger" varieties... Bottom line - please don't be fooled when buying accessories for the Xoom; most sellers do not know anything about the device and just substitute (more or less thoroughly) one device name for another. I know, this all has been mentioned before but I wanted to point this out to all the noobs around here.

I was wondering why the samsung epic screen consumes so much battery life. I have my screen fully dimmed and on top of that the screen filter is around 50% and my screen still comsumes 80%-90% of my battery life. Is anybody working on any mode that will help this problem or is it because the samsung epic has a Super Amoled screen which comsume more battery life.:confused: Great phone I am just hope somebody can mode the screen consumption of the battery life. The battery is good with a custom Rom I just wish it could be even better. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
You're missing the point. The fact the screen uses 80% of the battery means nothing more than that it draws more power than any other part, there isn't anything wrong with that. The screen is on so it uses power, pretty simple. Now if the radio was using 90% of the battery that would be bad.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holes45:
Weird thing I had on my htc hero before an update was screen battery use was super high too (same levels seen here). Then after some update, it was a much more normal range (somewhere around 30-40% maybe?) consistently. I'm wondering if it's really that much of the power usage or just a bug in the reporting. Butt smoke is done blowing by me now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
The more it sits idle, the lower the percentage gets. It's a relative statistic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokuman56:
Well, I guess its because the radio uses a lot less, it has to add up to 100 percent, and if you're using the display that time, then its probably what is using up the most battery
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dman10:
Lol I hadn't even noticed that one.

My screen takes up about 90% of the battery usage as well, but that is only since Froyo. On Froyo, the battery usage only shows Display at about 95% and Cell Standby at the other 5%. On Eclair it would show everything else that would run throughout the day like live wallpapers and whatnot. Froyo only shows Display and Cell Standby, but oh well, it doesn't mean that it's killing your phone quicker, since I upgraded to Froyo and got roms and everything installed, I get about twice the battery life.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
I think you have to be NUTS to not like the Almond screen !!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Yeah, as was stated above, it's just a relative statistic. The screen would naturally take up more of the total 100% allocable battery life. Makes sense, since the screen is always on when you do anything to your phone. Try restarting your phone, then play your music player for a while with the screen off. You should see that statistic change considerably.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
The reason the screen takes up such a large percentage of battery life is because they made the rest of the phone so efficient!

I barely used my phone yesterday. It has been on for 1 day 17 hours since I swapped batteries and I still have a 36% charge. The screen has been on for 1 hr 59 minutes in that time, but it accounts for 71% of my battery usage. When you aren't seeing the TWS bug, everything else in your phone draws an incredibly small amount of power which makes the screen look like it is using a lot of juice.

I accidentally flashed odin with phone efs clear checked....now I have no 3G and a little triangle in the nitification bar.....Can anyone help?

EDIT: OK its fixed, Thanks Gizmo. Didnt have an extra phone laying around to reactivate, So I just called Big Red and had them do it. Worked perfect and im all good.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GizmoDroid:
Uh... I'm going to copy and paste this here since it's really the only answer you are going to get, and to help anyone who might come along later:

If your MEID number is still valid in Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> MEID, then you are probably ok.

You may be able to *228, option 1. If that doesn't do it, try *22899.

If that doesn't work, activate an old phone on your account, then after a few minutes, reactivate your Samsung Fascinate. This will hopefully restore any of the EFS data that wasn't getting pushed by the *228 activation.

If your MEID in the Settings menu doesn't match the one printed on your phone under the battery, then the EFS data was corrupted and unable to rebuild after you cleared it. The only realistic option at that point is having it sent to Samsung.

No! I didnt flash anything in phone section of odin! What I did was flash adryns deodexed/debloated EB01. What I failed to realize was that	a box named CLEAR PHONE EFS was checked. Everything worked I just lost ability to use 3G. Gizmos instructions were spot on and worked. The funny part is that I have used Odin multiple times without a prob, so be careful W/Odin. Im not sure what flashing in PHONE section of ODIN would do but I remember gunnermike doing it on purpose to see what would happen and I think he ended up having to get a warranty replacement.

I REALLY need to root my Vibrant so I can lag fix it. Is there a root method yet for the Vibrant with the 2.2 update?
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
just use super one click root its really easy one click!

super one click 1.6.5

This app needs .Net Framework 2.0 or higher to operate.

1. The first step is to download Super One Click Root App and save it on your desktop.

2. Once this is done, connect your phone to the computer. it is important to note that after connecting the phone, you must not mount SD card.

3. Now go to phone settings and enable USB Debugging.

4. Once this is done, launch SuperOneClick.exe by double clicking.

5. Now click on Universal tab on screen if you are going to root any Android device like Nexus One, Galaxy S, Droid etc. Click on Samsung Captivate if that’s you phone.

6. Now simply click on Root tab and wait for the process to finish. It will take some time so hang in there.

7. After the rooting is complete, click Allow Non Market Apps if you need to.

There you go! you now have a rooted handset ready to accept any custom ROM.

I hope this helps

Hi. I havea prob with my DHD. Couldn't find anything in the forums. I wonder if someone might be able to help?

Sometimes, when someone sends me an SMS message (or if I have a new voicemail), I don't get a notification for ages. Sometimes hours, sometimes over a day even. The other day a friend rang me after I hadn't replied to his text, and once he was off the phone I went into my messages app and the message suddenly popped in. This makes me wonder if maybe it's something to do with the messaging app not polling in the background or something?

I'm on O2, with a non network branded handset, stock rom up to date with 2.2.1. Settings>About lists me as running "software version" 1.72.405.3.

Any ideas?

Thanks loads for any help!
[Desire HD General] Xepht:
It's possible that maybe you're in an area with bad reception? Generally when you get slow sms notifications it's usually due to the provider.

You could try changing to a different radio and see if that helps? Or even try flashing a custom rom.

Definitely not a service issue as I wondered this myself to begin with but it happens both at home and at the office in central London.
