[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
The upshot is you can flash a ROM or kernel from CWM if it's installed. You should be able to get it into download mode one way or the other, though. What ROM version are you currently on?

There are a few methods to get into download mode.

Power the phone off

Plug the USB cable into the phone and the computer

Hold down the volume up & volume down buttons

Press and release the power button, but continue to hold the volume buttons

Power the phone off

Unplug the USB cable from the phone if it's connected

Remove the battery

Plug the USB cable into the phone and the computer

Hold down the volume & and volume down buttons

Insert the battery while still holding the buttons

Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download the SDK

Run the SDK Manager

Only select the Android SDK Platform-tool & click Install

Open a command prompt

Cd to the platform-tools directory (Usually either C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)

Issue the command: adb reboot

One of those should be able to get you into download mode, especially the latter one.

You got root? Market search quick boot

though I definatly recommend practicing the second method listed above in case you soft brick.

Be respectful

Always click thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:
Yes I have root and not complaining just confused why this is so much more difficult. And have hit thanks plenty tonight.

Stephen, I have the SDK manager open, I downloaded that package, but then that was that. Nothing else happened so I assume you mean command prompt in windows not in SDK program right? Also, is my phone off or on when i do this and is there specific time I plug in usb?

Oh yeah, ultimately I'm looking to go to Vahalla Final as my first rom on this phone.

Thanks

I must be dumb as hell but i don't see download mode. i see recovery, reboot, bootloader, and power off. Am I not looking for a screen with a big triangle or something or just looking for recovery mode. Because when I tried doing this with recovery mode on and the phone didn't recognize (won't recognize for Kies either) and it said 0 succeeded
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
How to get into download mode

Unless you flashed kf1 this will work. Just keep trying tool you get it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
And sorry about the quick boot thing. Not following my own rules :eek: your not crazy, i am. it doesn't have download mode.

Be respectful

Always click thanks

Post logs not complaints :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Sorry, yes, from a windows command prompt. The phone has to be on so that adb can communicate with the phone. Also (I forgot to mention this) I believe your USB settings on the phone have to have USB debugging mode enabled (Settings, Applications, Development, check USB debugging).

As for quick boot, that's my fault Bassmanjames. It has a bootloader option but won't get you into dl mode. Think I mentioned it in a previous post on a different thread. Great for getting into recovery, though :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:
Yeah debuggings on I give up for the night. This is frustrating and it's late. thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jules2142:
Plug usb cable to computer but don't plug it to your phone yet.

Shutdown phone,

Hold the two volume buttons at the same time plug your usb cable to your phone.

And you should see a green picture

Gladly to help

adb says "device not found". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers 4 times. Why won't my phone show up?????

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

I have tried every little button combo anyones suggested and no method has gotten me into download mode. I've done it with battery in/out, different button combos I've seen people suggest, etc. Thanks though.

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

Ok one problem solved. I'm in download mode. Went to SU and typed reboot download simple as that. But my comp still won't recognize my pphone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jules2142:
Mine is like that too.

Lemme guess. Your computer is running Windows 7?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:
Yep. So you haven't been able to use Odin or heimdall?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
My home PC is Win7 and I've used Heimdall & ODIN without issue. My work PC is also Win7 and it's "picky" about recognizing my phone with ODIN. I've found myself uninstalling drivers and the like. The big thing is making sure it was plugged into the same USB port I used initially. Even then it doesn't seem to be 100%. I've not had the time to try and delve into the "why" of the problem, though. Regardless, I am able to get it to work with a little effort.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:
Ok thanks I'll keep trying
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] aburn95:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] noaxis2:
Does the green image come back?

I've done all the tricks but the green download mode picture doesn't come back. Am I suppose to keep holding the volume up/down buttons while ODIN runs? Should I run ODIN with the screen blank..I think the phone is still off once the battery goes back in with the volume buttons pressed. I tried ODIN on my phone and got the red error message a few times then lost the download mode...just goes into recovery mode.

Couldn't download ADB package for some reason...let it run for 24 hours but only got a little bit. Is there another download site? I just went to Android and tried to download the SDK I believe. I downloaded motochopper which has some ADB bits...but not those tools mentioned.

Thanks

[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
After successfully getting a Wiimote to hook up to my Nook and emulators, I decided to order a classic controller so I could play SNES/PSX/N64 games. In a bought of cheapskatedness, I ordered a bootleg classic controller so I could save a whopping $5. One of those ones not officially branded by Nintendo and sold direct from the back of a van in Hong Kong. Apparently those don't work.

Wiicontroller IME doesn't recognize its device id. And if I go to map buttons in my emulators, no keypresses are registered. So this weekend I'll go to Wal-Mart and spend another $20 to buy a real one.

Moral of story: Buy officially licensed Nintendo products!
[Nook Color Accessories] magicalsleeper:
I want to get some Datel brand controllers up in this rig! Speaking of official licensed ninty products, I wonder if that slim logitech keyboard would work nicely, iirc its a perfect size...

Sent from my PC36100
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
Any BT keyboard is going to [presumably] be fine as a keyboard. The problem I have with this non-Nintendo controller is that the Wiimote IME doesn't recognize the device ID of the attachment, so it doesn't know how to interpret the signals coming from it (even though it might be exactly the same as an official CC). You might have the same problem with the Datel controllers, now that I think about it.
[Nook Color Accessories] mooja:
my main problem is that i can get wiimotes to pair, but i cant get any emulators or anything to use it
[Nook Color Accessories] Nburnes:
You are making sure to Select the Wiimote controller IME as the main keyboard, and also making sure to map the keys inside the emulators right?
[Nook Color Accessories] jwhited:
Speaking of the Datel wireless classic controllers, does anyone know where to get one of these? I was searching in vain a few days ago, and I'd love to snatch one of those bad boys up.
[Nook Color Accessories] magicalsleeper:
Ive only seen it available on the codejunkies site, dunno if its really available though...

[Atrix 4G General] Dillsnik:
I have to say, as someone coming from a hard keyboard phone one of my biggest concerns was getting used to the on -screen kybd. It has been tough so far and hoping it gets better in the weeks and months to come (only been about a week so far). But I was pretty dissapoointed when I went on my buddies iPhone (3gs mind you, not even the 4) and his screen was MUCH better at accuracy for the kb. Such an important aspect of the phone utility its hard to overlook its importance...anyone else feel this way with iPhone experience?
[Atrix 4G General] MKVFTW:
No, quite the opposite actually. Ive used touchscreens from every iphone, samsungs GS phones, and now the atrix. It is, at the very least, on par with the afformentioned phones. Perhaps slightly more responsive than some.
[Atrix 4G General] dinan:
The digitizer is the same piece of hardware as the galaxy phones as well as the iPhone I believe so the inaccuracy comes down to the software. More specifically, the motorola keyboard isn't that great. Try downloading smart keyboard pro (there's a trial version) and using an iPhone or HTC skin and see how you fare. I find it to be much more accurate and better at correcting mistakes, similar to the iPhone's keyboard.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I also love the fact you have the option of allowing or disallowing the keyboard to auto correct for you.

http://damnyouautocorrect.com/
[Atrix 4G General] Dillsnik:
Well I'm not sure why I seem to be missing more keys on atrix but its frustrating ...right now using GB kybd ...someone had posted how its possible to resize this KB in the settings butthat option is greyed out for me...would love someone to tell me why they think soso
[Atrix 4G General] Dillsnik:
I think auto correct helps me more tthat it hurts me, but obviously its a win some lose some I immagine
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I just bought my Atrix a few days ago, coming from an iPhone 3GS, and the first thing I noticed was that the Atrix keyboard is more responsive, and I fudge what I am typing much less than with the iPhone. All in all, since rooting, and setting up the Atrix how I want it, I have to say that I think it is a much better phone than the iPhone in every respect other than the current issue with speed, which hopefully is all AT&T, and not hardware related.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
I agree with the originally poster. While the entire touch screen digitizer may be MORE RESPONSIVE and SENSITIVE, it is NOT more ACCURATE. I can type much more accurately on any 3X or 4X iPhone than on any Android phone. I don't really know if you can beat Apple when it comes to this. They make the hardware and the software so they have complete control...
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
I have found that it varies from phone to phone, my typing accuracy anyway. using the gingerbread keyboard on my Nexus 1 and Captivate, I get about the same speeds and accuracy.

It took a little while to get used to the Atrix but after I did, I was doing just as ggood, if not better on that screen.

Depended on how fast I tried to type for tthe most part though.
[Atrix 4G General] kkeo:
I wouldn't say the iPhone's screen is any more accurate than anything else. The reason why the iPhone's seems to be more accurate at typing is because of the spell checking, letter prediction software. The iPhone will predict what you're letter you're going to type next and increase the size of the touch response area for that key. This means it'll overlap the keys around it registering the one it thinks you're really looking for. So in a sense, yes it's more accurate, only because it's increased the touch response area for just that key and very inaccurate when you want a different key. Luckily hitting the backspace on the letter it thought you wanted turns off the prediction.
[Atrix 4G General] Dillsnik:
Using smart kb pro now and it may be fav yet..

Thanks for the suggestion
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
i always found the iphone keyboard more accurate unfortunately

and ive used many android keyboards (gingerbread, moto multitouch, etc..)
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Whats a keybd? And whats a kb?
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
this is why thickbuttons is a good keyboard for those that are weaning off iphones.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
The iPhone touchpanel may not be any more accurate or precise, but the iPhone keyboard has some enhancements made to it to improve typing accuracy. It predictively resizes the touch area for certain keys based on the probability that those keys will be next to push. You don't see the keys get bigger visually, but the "active touch area" of those keys does get bigger.

For instance, if you started typing a word and pressed "B" as the first letter, the active area of keys "a" "e" "y" and so forth would get bigger, while the active area of "x" and "p" would get smaller. This leads to a higher overall probability of getting the next keypress correct.

There is a lot more going on here while typing than simply relying on the accuracy of the keypress.

Source: http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2009/08/07/virtual-keyboards-on-iphone-and-android/ - Read "Dynamic Key Reszing" in the article. I thought the article that I read this in was fascinating. Having worked on some ITO panel designs and devices it opened some new insights for me.

tl;dr - Touchpanel accuracy != typing accuracy

EDIT- Just read kkeo's post above. Guess I should read more thouroghly before replyinh lol :D
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
We're just splitting hairs here.
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
yeah but the iphone side of the hair is better right? i mean it has to be, steve jobs said so
[Atrix 4G General] seriouslyjeff:
Download the paid version. It opens up all options
[Atrix 4G General] hippodragon9:
Yeah, it's usually software, but honestly, Apple has one of the best software keyboards in the industry. I'm only using the built-in one because others don't take advantage of all the screen real estate, though I'll try Smart Keyboard.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webs05:
[UPDATE]

There was some confusion caused with my posting. This app will not allow you to dial EPST codes from an AOSP ROM. As of right now that functionality doesn't work. I think its a good goal to work towards that, but much work is needed before that happens.

This app had 2 goals in mind during its inception. 1) allow 2.2 users to dial EPST codes. If you remember back to early releases of 2.2 the EPST system was botched. 2) to eventually allow any Sprint phone to dial EPST codes. This was a lofty goal but possibly feasible.

As of right now this app needs some work from serious devs because natively it doesn't do much.

Hope this helps.

[OG]

This is an app my brother and I worked on, but didn't get far with. Things came up stuff happens right? Specifically, HTC fixed their dialer code issue in 2.2 so this app was put on hold.

That said, I think there are two positives with this app. 1) it just makes dialing the codes easier, and we can update it to have a fancy screen where you pick the code and it dials.

2) We can use it to figure out how to get cross-ROM functionality. This is a maybe, but this app gives us the best shot.

More to come, for now you can download the app files here. Just follow the MIT license and all is well.

These files will need to be compiled, it is not an APK. Sorry for the confusion I caused. I can work on turning this into an APK if people want, but it wont do much good. The app is very much in its infancy.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vedavin:
Will most likely work from the browser on the phone as well
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] stickb0y7:
not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but your app looks promising and seems related. does anyone know if the ## dialer codes are related to the modem AT commands? there seems to be some correlation between the two and i'm not sure if it's just coincidence or if the ## codes relate directly to the AT commands.

the reason i ask is that i was searching for info on the ##gpsclrx# fix and i found a pdf that lists some AT commands supported by qualcomm cdma chips, including $GPSCLRX. there's quite a few other ones that match up too. i haven't figured out how to send AT commands to my phone, but was hoping that it could be done through the dialer or a program like yours, and hopefully some of these commands could help troubleshoot some GPS issues that CM7 nightlies have.

The file is just a zip, extract it to get the APK and install like any other app from there. I'll post more directions in a minute.

A lot of improvements can be made to this app, so I'm hoping people step up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webs05:
No idea. I have another thread on ## Dialer codes and you could ask there, but I'm not sure if anyone has looked into this.

The point of this thread and the app I have listed here is to hopefully help AOSP based ROM users to be able to use the dialer codes.

I'll give that a try.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webs05:
Any word on this app yet?

is this dead? or to good to be true? :confused: :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mazda:
I highly doubt this but I wonder if this app would work with CM7 roms?? If so, this would save a lot of time flashing inbetween sense and CM7 in order to get the GPS working and just accessing EPST in general!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Just_s:
We'll know as soon as webs05 puts up the flashable zip or apk. Based on the description, this is basically designed to provide AOSP with EPST-like menu access, so if it does indeed work, then it should work on CM.
[Fascinate General] daavy:
im just wondering if any of you fascinate users have had a chance to use the htc thunderbolt yet? im running DarkREVENGE v3.0 eb01 on my fascinate and i really like it... is it worth the switch?

i was sorta hoping for a dual core phone but it looks like the bionic is the next one up on LTE... and thats moto with their locked bootloader, so it makes it really unappealing. i read that there should be a samsung galaxy lte phone coming down the road.. but after the level of support.. im not sure if id buy another samsung (even though the dev community is amazing!)..

constructive replies welcome.

thanks,

dave
[Fascinate General] FDro:
Its not worth the upgrade, but it certainly is a better phone.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I concur. I'm going to take an early upgrade option in September. 4G and dual core should have more established options by then. I wouldn't jump now.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
I don't know about it being a better phone because lots of factors play into a phone being a better phone than another. Yes, it is a more powerful phone but not really worth the upgrade right now since other more powerful phones are coming out later. Personally, I don't think I would ever want to own a phone that gets worse battery life than an EVO. I wouldn't even say the Thunderbolt is much better than the EVO at all. It's basically an EVO with 256 more RAM and terrible battery life (give or take some specs). In some instances I'd prefer it because of the support that HTC devices receive but my Fascinate is perfectly fine for me now.
[Fascinate General] FDro:
with a next generation processor, gpu, more ram, I think the screen and the camera are slightly better as well, the body is much nicer looking too. Its much better than the evo, that's not up to debate. Its just not worth the upgrade at this moment in time.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Next generation does not always mean better. AFAIK, the next gen Snapdragon processors are on par with the current Hummingbird. The screen is also probably better on the Fascinate, same with battery life. About the only thing the Thunderbolt would have to offer is 4G and probably better source code and software to work from.
