[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammy_user:
Hello, when i enable the data connection i see that when thr phone is idle a 3g icon shows up and when the phone is transferring data a H icon shows. Is it normal or should i contact my carrier? I think thats killing my battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sibix1:
It's normal...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Peacemanibk:
3g is the umts net, H means hsdpa mode in umts - as soon as data is transferred, it switches between them. Hsdpa means you bundle some umts channels together (routhly spoken). You can switch off hsdpa - for example with sgs tools i think - just search it. But you will loose speed then ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] branalvere:
I always wondered what the H was for....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Schmich:
It means you're transfering on your data connection so it does use up your battery.

Hola fellow XDA-ers...

I have searched and can't find a solution...and seems that I might be perma bricked but some forums indicate I am now. So help!

My phone will not enter into a download mode. All I get is an exclamation mark triangle connecting a phone and a computer icon.

I have tried both volume down and both volume buttons for power and to enter into DL mode, but it just goes back to the icon screen with the exclamation point.

Any help is greatly appreciated...I was trying to flash back to stock using ODIN to update my Cognition because I got stuck not being able to update it through CMO.

You need a jig... http://goo.gl/0p52o
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
First: wrong forum, you should be posting in Q&A

Second: remove battery, hold volumeup+volumedown+power and insert battery. Remove your finger from the power button after you see it restart the first time. If it does not enter download mode after it starts and restarts, press the power button again. Keep your volumeup+volumedown buttons pressed during this procedure

Noone ever needs a jig. Jigs are a money making tool.

I've flashed bad kernel after bad kernel and have never once required a jig.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
this happened to me too, I can't remember what i did to get into that weird state.. but your definitely not totally bricked. Have you tried using a usb from power off standpoint- Pull battery, replace.. make suer usb is plugged into computer and while holding BOTH vol up and vol down, connect usb to phone STILL holding vol buttons utill Download mode appears.

Only other suggestion i can make is to pick up one of connexion2005's jigs. 8 bucks- forces your phone into DL mode from bricked/off standpoint. I use it all the time and I have never bricked!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
you need one if you have a bricked captivate.. or you can make your own.. either way the phone doesn't come back to life like magic.. a jig does that.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apples2droids:
I back you up Coreym, 110% I bricked my phone more times than I can count (or my wife cares to hear about), and I've always been able to fix it.

I just run odin one click, pull battery, to kill boot loop, put battery back in, hold down volume buttons, and plug in usb, to get into download mode.

Once odin reads phone, click start, and it flashes default at&t kernel. Then go through odin3 reload your cwm and boom, back to flashing. :)

No JIG used.

Being Bricked is the Bricks...

Hey man,

You mean update through CWM?

Anyway, not sure if you found a resolution to your issue as of yet.

If not, try this, it really couldn't hurt at this point...

Apparently you have Odin and I'm guessing you're on a PC (Windows)

I'll assume you already have a stock factory ROM and PIT file (For Your Device) - if not you need to acquire these first.

Ensure you have the correct version of Odin. Some are recommending v1.7 or v1.52 - I personally use Odin v1.82

"Pluck" or Pull the battery from the device, remove the SIM and any external storage card (if any). *I just felt like using the work "Pluck" out of the context of harp playing...

Ensure the latest Samsung Drivers are installed on the PC (assuming you're on a Windows X86 or X64) and bounce the PC (reboot) Driver cache sometimes sticks...

Plug in your USB cable to the back panel of the PC (USB v2.0 or 2.2 is preferred but USB v1.0 will work) - Plugging into a front panel (for some odd reason often finds a way to disrupt order amongst the driver pool and creates havoc within Mass Storage in the DM. (Device Manager)

Now turn your device on.. (Just kidding...)

Open Odin first - then - plug the cable into your device and withing a few seconds Odin should detect a com port: (any port is fine - 3, 5, 4, 2, etc...)

Once the com port is seen, select the correct PIT file from the PIT menu in Odin and automatically the format partition check-box will populate. (I say to re PIT the device with correct PIT (should be a 512 PIT) because it sounds as though there may be some damage to the boot loader and the respective system partition. The PIT file is supposed the restore these partitions back to factory defaults provided you select the correct PIT file.

*Note - I wouldn't recommend using the PIT file for "every" ROM flash they you do, but at times it is necessary when flashing certain ROMs.

Now select the PDA (ROM you wish to flash) from the browse menu in Odin.

Make sure the check box is selected for reboot after flash.

Let the process take place - complete the flash and wait patiently for the new image or ROM to calibrate and load. (It may take a while)

Once loaded unplug the USB cable, replace the SIM and Ext Memory card then the battery and fix whatever settings you need to (ie: ATN, efs, WiFi, WAP, etc...)

Give it a go and see what becomes of it...

HtH

Peace-

Jig is useful for people who doesnt have 3 button combo fix like me

I am on same screen from last week (waiting for my jig)

your method didnt work for me..everytime phone restarts to show phone-!-computer screen...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
did you try from powered off and usb plugged into computer-- holding down both vol buttons, while still holding both vol buttons plug usb into phone.. For some captivates this will work. It works with mine. Try that if you haven't already :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
He has (I think I remember telling him to do the same thing a while ago). He's most likely using a Cappy that's 1010 or greater.

This is why some people need the "3 button-fix" and whatnots as well. Right now at his/their current state, only a USB Jig will work since none of the combinations work properly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yeah totally.. those jigs are sweet anyway. I use it just for getting into DL mode, it's just easier and by far the quickest!

I had 1007 phone and flashing was so fun, untill i made a mistake of using odin when my battery was low and hard bricked it....then got a refurb phone of 1008 build (current one)...did ODIn to flash and lost 3 button combo...and now i used AIO...stuck on bricked screen...tried almost everything in the forums...while i wait for my jig
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falabarce:
No worky...

That's my problem. I can't use the three button solution to get into DL mode. I have a 1006 model.

I'm actually using Ubuntu and Windows. adb nor Odin see the device at all...it just won't drop into DL mode.

Guess I'm going to Fry's and buying a micro USB connector with all wires and making a jig.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
please do not misinform people that jig is a money making tool. try this: flash a three-button disabled rom first and then unplug your usb cable while flashing ... i believe you will need a jig for sure. :-)

you can buy one here, i believe it is cheaper & more reliable than you build one with components from Frys.

Hey guys, hopefully someone is able to help :). I recently soft brick my friends phone without realizing that samsung have changed the built number on this phone so I am hopeless right now. I should have been less careless. This is also a nice warning for those of you who are about to flashed this built.

Build #11.02 Rogers Phone.

Flashed with odin using pit and tar file = fail.

3 button now not working = phone and computer

Jig now not working on build 11.02 = phone and computer, but is working on my phone build #10.12 also a rogers phone.

Any info on how I could get this into download mode is greatly appricated.

Bluetooth tethering without jailbreak now works in ios 4.3.

http://meekgeek.tumblr.com/post/3763...pot-in-ios-4-3

http://swangle.blogspot.com/2011/03/...ne-in-ios.html

I am having some issues with it using my WinMo 6.5 phone (Tmo Dash 3G). I have not tested this against an iPhone. The connection cuts after 30 seconds but for those 30 seconds I do have internet connectivity! Has anyone else experienced this disconnect? Has anyone tried this on an iPhone or non-iPhone cell phone? Yes tethering is enabled by my carrier as the tether works fine to my laptop over Bluetooth PAN. Any advice?

Same result using HTC Touch Cruise upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1

I am starting to think that Apple may have configured iPads/iPods to prevent Bluetooth tethering between non-iPhones and iPads. Something is making my Bluetooth tether fail after I connect to a WinMo cell phone. Does anyone agree or is something wrong with my WinMO phone?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
hey guys!

i'm kind of a noob, so forgive me if i write something stupid :) i've watched a few videos of other phones being benchmarked with quadrant, and at the part where the planet and it's moon shows, other mid-range/high-end phones have no problem playing it flawlessly, and with my defy i get around 10-11fps, and some textures don't even show! is that because of a poorly optimised gpu driver, or what? any ideas? do other phones with sgx530 gpu do that too, or just the defy?
[Defy General] xdaid:
It's all right, i get 9 fps at stock speed (800mhz) and up to 12 depending on the OC applied.

Maybe Defy is not so brilliant in that specific test but the overall performances are great compared to other phones with similar price.

Also consider that many devices have huge score on quadrant benchmark but they're actually not so fast.

Some of them also have stagefright enabled, as a result the quadrant benchmark fails to decode h.264 and gives huge scores...

So, don't trust quadrant too much, our gpu and drivers are ok!
[Defy General] zakoo2:
thx! actually i couldn't be happier with this phone, it's by far the best in it's price range (even if we exclude it's 'life-proof'-ness and great overclocking/undervolting capability). this was just something that caught my attention. anyway, thanks again!

Hello again! I have a SQLite database in my assets folder that I can successfully read and access in-app. I also have two sub-folders in it, each packed with about 650 png files. I've read that subfolders of the assets folder are supposed to be readable, but the subfolders have little red x's on them, preventing the app from compiling. Why is this and how can I fix it?

New Samsung Galaxy SII will be available in Czech republic by end of May, approximate price around 15 000 czech koruna = $880.00

But prices over here are always much higher than rest of the Europe. (west europe)

Anyone having issues with Apps getting killed despite the fact that they don't have a task killer installed? I will open Apps and leave them running, go back to the home screen, and when I open my task manager minutes later, they are gone. I know that the system does its own kind of memory management but is it suppose to be doing this? The reason it is frustrating me is because often when I back out of an app or unlock the phone, my launcher pro acts like it has been reset, and I have to sit there while all of my widgets reload. Maybe it has always done this and I am just now realizing it. Just curious if anyone else has experinced this.

I am running Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 SD Card Rom. On the development forum it says that you push "N" once for Launcher Pro. You push "N" twice for softkeys and long press for recent task. Whenever I push "N" once it just goes back to the home screen. I am new to launcher pro so my question is what is suppose to happen when I push "N" once. Is the launcher pro app suppose to load up? Is launcher pro just my home screen so if I push "N" it always goes back to homescreen? What is suppose to happen? I am new.

Personally I have made "Single Tap: Softkeys" because it's more often I'm popping that up than going Home, but it's a little messy when you first boot, so I still suggest most folks set it as per the Wiki.

And long press doesn't exist in Softkeys except for the VIRTUAL OVERLAY which pops up at the bottom of the screen. Long-press of the hardware button doesn't do anything. Be nice if it would, then we could put 3 actions on it :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortionist:
Hello.. My wife has a samsung galaxy s vibrant, with a front facing camera, when she opens the dialer, she has the option to click on video call for video. I just bought a motorola atrix and it does not have the same, and they tell me to use tango or another third party app. I am confused, does the atrix not support video calling through the cell phone network ? Whe she tried to video call me it fails...

Can someone clarify please.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
You would need to be over wifi on the atrix. T-mobile is the only company that let's you do video calls with out wifi. Also, she uses what's called qik. If you don't have qik on the atrixs then you would need to use a 3rd party app such as tango. I believe through that specific app you both would need to be on wifi. Hope that helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Use Tango, QIK is just not as stable and it doesn't work well on the Vibrant FFC

You both should have a tango account (free) then you can open Tango and just call, It will take about 15-30 secs to make video connection after it hooks up in the call (Faster if both of you are on Wi-fi). Then talk away and oogle at your wife, girlfriend, pet Aardvark...etc. (assuming the Aardvark has a tango account too).

I use it quite a bit with my wife it is kinda cool. And, I solely use it over 3G and it works in my area pretty well without lag.

Hope that helped.
