After GB update - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

First I would like to thank you guys for sharing and thumbs up to those who are passionate enough to break into every code. First evidence is this actually magnificent tamed beast of our phone. With bloatware and for sale it's full of crap and crippled while your programming skills are making it much more powerful. Two completely different perspectives on this piece of hardware.
Although, after this T959VUVKF2_Deodexed_ROOT update battery flourished, phone runs smoothly, I can fell it and finally I can tweak it the way I want. Thumbs up, congrats on your work.
Have only couple of things I'm noticing:
- wi-fi is really low (on different networks)
- no data connection at all (I'll check with network tech support)
- sometimes I can see a glitch
- when I restart the phone live wallpaper is switched with theme (or this is golauncher problem?)
Can you help me out?
Besides these pair of, I believe, solvable problems it's a mean beast. And I'm getting it a brand new shiny wrap.

thats prob go launcher some of the apps have a save settings and reboot launcher on it before they stick
wi fi really low u can always snag a new modem off the dev section and flash that diffrent modems= diffrent level of mobile and wi fi find one that fits for you.
no data at all check to make sure u didnt turn off your data connection been there done that lol
glitch not sure what u mean but its always a good idea after u flash ur rom u flush lol meaning flush the cache and davlik cache let phone sit for 10 mins and ur good to go hope that helps
eh edit u said gingerbread lol didnt catch that umm thats the fryo bootloaders causing it we use em its the only way to keep cwm (future support) and they cause to many headaches wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many headaches.

Your launcher problem may be due to the app being on the SD card rather than device memory.. move it back and it should stop changing

Froyo plays well with others!!!

I flashed froyo on top of an already set up 1.6 and 2.1 rom's (seperately) and well it went well. booted right up. still had all my apps. whole point of this...I dunno its fun. I got to play with some of my apps. no Google apps carried over. super user was also gone. root explorer wouldnt
open. I was going to install su so I could oc. but root explorer was fc. most of my apps opened and functioned properly, except for no data connection. but I was able to call my boss and hang up on her. maybe a developer can do something with this info. this was sent after restoring back from froyo

Sounds to me like you'll be selling that iPohne, and using that free-service SIM in your N1 AT&T
so how well does flash work on the G1?
yeah, i "found" a build of froyo numbered 13, and minus the wifi, bluetooth, camera, root, live wallpapers its a nice quick app! all the stuff i said is not working in this build, but it appears the makers are working on that stuff at an alarming pace, and later this week it will be going in full swing. Yes, in this version, Gapps works
kingfroyo can you post the verison of it for everyone to test?

What iPhone does have is the ability to drop calls and call distortion. It's something that most android phones will never experience...
I flashed the jmod Froyo and couldn't get it to recognize the sd card or establish a data connection. If you have one that does all that, apps, google apps AND hangs up on ppl I would love to have a link to dl it. Thanks!

[Q] ICS Issues not in sticky (that i saw)

I have been a big fan of xda for a really long time. I have never needed to actually obtain a username because almost everything can be found with the search function. Problem is I have ran into a couple things that I can't resolve myself with playing around reflashing/factory resets.
Just as a Pre Req - I am using a Samsung i727 on AT&T updated to the leak the day it came out - Have since ran two different Roms
-NexusMod-ICS-Beta-3
- ICSMOD5
I experienced the following problems with the leak and both Roms. I'm just wondering if I'm missing a fix for any of this, or if it is simply something that the wonderful DEV's here have not gotten to. Obviously there are other issues, but in reading threads these are the ones that I have not heard anyone address. I have heard them mentioned, but never addressed.
1. I have a Sony Bluetooth Audio Head Unit in my car. Every ROM I ever flashed for GB I was able to get the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) to work and send the artist/album/song title to my unit. This no longer works and seems to have some serious dropping issues from time to time. As well as a very slow next or back function (all of which was not there with GB).
2. I CANNOT fix permissions. I always try first in CWM (which I have updated and paid for the new touch version) and every time I try click on fix permissions it says done instantly as well as when I clear Dalvik it shows as E: is not found or accessible. I have re-flashed, went back to ICS leak with Odin, used the DarkSide Wipe, went back to gingerbread, flashed to ICS leak, flashed to NexusMod. Still cannot fix permissions. In ROM manager it will just hang up and never finish. I read all the time about people *fixing permissions* in ICS. I have never been able to.
Any insight that any of you could give me on any of these issues would be greatly appreciated. I understand that this is my first post and TBH I'm kinda sad that I actually have to post. For so long you had everything already addressed, and may very well have already addressed this. But my eyes are exhausted, and I feel as though I have checked all my resources.
In short thank you for all that you guys do, and look forward to maybe one day being able to help you.
It seems that the newer versions of CWM are somewhat iffy on some devices (like mine.) I would try a few different versions. I've personally only had luck with the custom version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954
Following the exact same steps and only changing the versions of CWM I got permissions fixed. Hopefully you'll be in the same boat
I have no idea on the Bluetooth issue, most of what I've seen with ICS/Bluetooth has been positive. You might try using a bluetooth.apk from another ICS build with similar hardware (I have no idea what Bluetooth chip we're running.) I think the version from GB probably isn't compatible, but knowing myself I'd probably try it just to make sure.
Also install busybox from the market and run it it might help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Thank you for the quick comments. I am not familiar with BusyBox, but I will make myself familiar and post back with my findings
I will also try that version of CWM touch and report back with my finding's on that.
When you refer to bluetooth.apk How would this be installed? Just from zip in CWM or like a regular downloaded app not via the market? What would be your best suggestions other than the .apk from GB that I will of course try first. The i989 one from there ICS leak? The i777? Just trying to get ideas on what I should be searching for at this point.
Again thank you
Honestly, I don't know what version of the apk you'd want to use, because it's going to depend on the bluetooth chip manufacturer. I'd say something else by samsung shuold be a good place to start
To install, you'd just back up the bluetooth.apk in /system/app using a root file explorer, and drop in the replacement, then reboot

GB Bluetooth has multiple .apk files
-BluetoothAvrcp.apk
-BluetoothOpp.apk
-BluetoothPbap.apk
-BluetoothTestMode.apk
-BrcmBluetoothServices.apk
Tried moving the stock ICS Bluetooth.apk out and replacing it with all of these. Needless to say it FC's on all them repetitively.
Then tried another Bluetooth.apk that I found here:
had to remove this because apparently I'm not aloud to put a link in here
This made the Phonebook portion start working for me, but it still is not sending the tags to the unit. I had an idea to maybe try the old music player and see if that made a difference, because it never worked with googlemusicplayer or Pandora only worked with the stock music player in GB. I am back from lunch now though so unfortunately it will have to wait for my next break to see if it makes a difference.
I do hope to be able to help and be an active member. Though most of the things I know now I only learned from reading what XDA has posted. I will say that trying to post with these almost impossible Image Verification things is rather annoying.
All your issues with the site go bye bye after so many posts

Alright, so... First off I want to say thank you to burgeswe for the idea of trying other Bluetooth apks.
Second off I want to say thank you to MysticKing32 and his Rom Mystic'sPrideICS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560763) for the bluetooth apk's that I copied from them and installed into M0D1441's NexusMod-ICS-Beta-3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574675). This made all tagging work. No issues with Bluetooth dropping on my 35 min drive home and works just fine with DSPManager running.
There are four files from MysticKing32's rom that I copied. These files are:
-Bluetooth.apk
-Bluetoothavrcp.apk
-BluetoothTest.apk
-BluetoothMap.apk
I did not try with the Bluetooth.apk from the stock build so that one may not need replaced/copied. I removed the Bluetooth.apk from system>apps and put these four apks in its place.
Hope this helps someone.. Now does anyone have a fix for ATT Visual Voicemail. After I finally fix that issue I will be dailying NexusMod but some of these things were very important to me..
Thank you again

This worked for me.. Thank you again.. Officially my daily driver now.. All the things I fixed thanks to xda and its members.
-Visual Voicemail Now Working (uninstalled/cleared dalvik/re-downloaded from store)
-Bluetooth sends tags now (If you look up in the thread I put instructions)
-Can now fix permissions (BusyBox install)
-Shut Down/Restart working (multiple flashes of NexusMod/odin stock ucalc)
-MMS delete fixed (multiple flashes of NexusMod/odin stock ucalc)
Only thing that is kinda iffy from time to time is the POS Radio from UCALC4, but that is something I'm assuming has no full write up for/I would not be able to resolve the issue.

I understand feeling pissed about hacking these phones and it not working right. I suggest if you have properly installed a custom recovery that you flash a simple rooted Gingerbread rom. Everything will work like a charm, all features. Make sure to go into clockwork mod, wipe data, wipe partition, wipe dalvic cache and flash the rooted gingerbread rom. Reboot and enjoy.
If you don't like gingerbread and you want a great ICs rom, use the EaglesBlood AOSP 4.04 ICS rom. I think it works great. Some things do not work on this rom though. Because the devs do not have the source code from Nvidia they can not make the video camera work. Netflix will not display video. The wifi calling does work. Data drops have been addressed.
So there is my two cents. Hope that is helpful.
or better yet, if you haven't already, update the phone to the stock 2.3.4 update that was just released and see if it solves your phone problems.
If your phone is in warranty then call t-mobile and tell them how your phone is freezing and yadda yadda. They should exchange it for a new one
Appreciate the feed back. I think I'm done with tmo altogether though. My data speed with them is like 1.5 mbs compared to my buddy's Verizon which is at 11.5 mbs were in Riverside ca
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Lol
I actually am trying to make my phone use stock 2.3.3 and I find that it froze overnight while charging, froze overnight without even plugged in!!!!!
And the only reason I'm even going for STOCK is because the dam Simple Mobile Sim will not work on CM7. It runs better on CM7 but the unreliable GPS, and other settings I needed to apply just so that it wouldn't freeze anymore.
I moved on the GS2 T989 for now. I'm not thrilled with the phone honestly, but wins points for reliability. Never fails, just works. Only had 1 random reboot in the month I've used it.
I want to give away my G2X to a friend or relative, but I don't want to, because I know they will hate me for it. Its cruel to give someone a phone like this and trash talk and blame Android for it. Its not the ROMS or the OS, its the piece of **** phone.
Thankfully I don't have to deal with it so much on a regular basis.
Ohh I know like I said I'm not blaming devs or android for that matter. I mostly blame myself for going "first dual core phone, err I want dat" and goin and buying it rather than researching first.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
LG seems to have some piss poor quality control. I must have gotten lucky with mine, though it had some issues of its own that got fixed by flashing roms/kernels.
To your last point, I will never again buy a phone without scoping out the development and opinion from these forums. Even if it means I have to wait a few months and not have the phone right away.

I've been experiencing the same thing. I get so many crashes, lag, reboots on CM 7.1 stable which is the latest I have been running. Ive tried EB and some others, and they were all plagued with similar issues.
I'm essentially done with Android. You never know what the hell you're going to get as far as how the phone works, and it takes way too much time and effort to get things to work correctly. I just want something that works well out of the box. I had the G1, Nexus S, and this, and I can't stand Android anymore. Google doesn't even care enough about it to update their Nexus line on time.
I love my POS

That goes to Mr. "I'm done with android" as well... I can flash back to stock and live with the little things that are a little messed up, just can't stand stock battery life, but with any of the cm7 roms my phone is better then most my friends, and even help convince some of my iOS friends to go android. I'm sure either you guys got lemons or just don't understand android!

Thanks!
My bad, in youtube play, no green screen, with following error message:
"There was a problem while playing."
It seems /system/lib/hw has right file (18064 bytes in size). Here is a log.
Thanks for looking into it .

no for my install.
Really liking this one so far. The power management tools are really nice, and so are the themes, I just wish I could read Chinese - the theme manager is great, but the TapasHot app store or whatever seems to confuse me Also, whenever you update the OP, you might take out "wifi" under major bugs, since it's fixed already.
Thanks for another bad ass ROM!

Ok I followed the instructions for installing the rom and love it but, I lost all contacts on sim card. I'm guessing I might have made a mistake. Can anyone suggest a way of recovering them? By the way they were saved to sim.
You didn't save them to Google?
There's no recovery if they're wiped from you're sim .....try saving them to Google next time,you'll be glad you did.
just flashed a different rom and they are on the sim and show up but for some reason they wouldnt show up in tapasOS even when I tried to import them from sim it would say there wasnt any.Would like to use this rom.
Like I said....back them up on Google...and use this rom if that's what your hang up is...if your not gonna use this rom based solely cuz it wont read your contacts from your sim...then your comment about really wanna use this rom isn't true when there's several ways of backing up your contacts and making it happen.
That is such a BS statement if I ever heard one..."I would like to use this rom". But do nothing on your own to make it happen..
Come on people use some common sense and do something on your own without someone holding your hand.
I have been trying to remedy this on my own all day by reading and trial and error. I guess you can feel like a tough guy behind the internet.
Dyin' over here! I
To rephrase the advice given earlier (since sixstring will likely cut out all of those posts later) in whatever rom will read your contacts, back them up to your Gmail account. That way, you'll always have access to them on any rom.

This is a known issue with cm7, cm7 is the base if this ROM. A little reading in the forums and you would have know what to do...
No need to knock the ROM, it's your 'ish

I by no means was knocking the rom, I said that I probably made a mistake. All I was doing was asking a question and things got blown way out of proportion. I have read on here everyday. Again I like to experiment with things. I will never ask another simple question.
lets keep it civil here people. no name calling. no replying to name calling either. just makes matters get out of hand quickly.
thread cleaned.
is it worth buying?

[Q] Phone issues

Hey All,
Anyone having missed calls issues? I have been getting them for a while now but now its starting to be a bummer anyone know what the issue could be and how it could be resolved? Also phone is getting a little buggy :l Go Launcher EX stopped working...or at least the icons don't load...so I have switched so ADW Launcher for now which I'm liking but its just too complicated for me (standard user) I fixed my too long text problem with Go SMS Pro by making it split my texts after 156 characters I believe? Sometimes phone slows down...not sure if that's normal....Sometimes my Beautiful Widgets Superclock wont load either :/ but the weather part will....Phone used to die quickly im a failry heavy user but I dont remember it dieing this fast before, I have it on for 10 minutes...and I see the % at the top right drop from 100 to 87%... =( I just did a Battery calibration yesterday I think im seeing a improvemnt..not sure lol, I should have recorded how long it lasts >_>.Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit - Sometimes my phone will text people weird boxes :/
Edit2 - Btw anyone have some good UV values? 4 Set CPU or profiles and things of that sort...
BTW I'm still a noob at this stuff but I'm learning haha!

I remember a fresh flash of Valhalla Black has all of the ringtones set to none. You have to go select the ringtone you want or it will be on a silent ringtone.
I doubt that is the problem since I have a custom ringdroid ringtone on currently. I but I will change it and see if I receive any missed calls... Let me try to explain it further though I don't receive some calls period. But I look on my friends phone and it shows that they did indeed call me... Sometimes message me and yet I received nothing from them... =/

Could be network issue too... It's not a uncommon thing in the cell phone world. Text messages too?? How often does it happen? Can it be repeated and logged. If so, try posting a logcat in the Valhalla Black thread for help.
Yea I know it can be but recently its been doing it much more before it was roughly about once a week? Now it's daily =/ how do I would I log this? Catlog?

Try a new sim I think they're free if you're t mobile... that might help with the missed calls and stuff. About the other stuff that's just plain weird. Sounds like you have a bad battery and bad sd card and bad phone. Throw that thing away.

Yeah the sim cards are free. I do know that they updated Sim cards a while back when I updated phones. Before you throw away or donate to an xda member, lol. Try to wipe/reflash OR even a fix permissions for the lag. Gremlin remover is my favorite.
hello viper and other readers. im noobing and guessing this is for a sgs2. viper can you give me more on the text message splitter mine is the same.
but too my main issue if anybody could help my sgs2 has had difficulties since coming out of the box tethering in wifi mode. i can turn it on and get other devices to connect but after thirty seconds or so the tethering signal drops out and i loose my connection. i have to go back into gathering and portable wifi hotspots and retire the box again. if i stay in the tethering box i can watch the tick disappear and my devices will loose connection again. i am running a sgs2 i9100 xwlp7 and have rooted the phone which seemed to lengthen the tethering time to a maximum of two minutes but it perfect the drop out 100% of the time. any help here would be appreciated.

Download Go SMS Click the menu button > settings>send settings>split large messages and about the texting try download a tether app on the market? If you have trouble still PM me and ill look into your phone for you SGS4g and SGS2 are different phones...
@rbedell
Ok I will try that!
as for the sim cards I will have to try that over the weekend since the stores aren't very close to me :l
cheers it was a great help solved both problems now what's the best uses for a rooted sgs2. other than removing one phone and contents to another handset. i must be overseeing something
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Well only reason I rooted was to try different roms since the stock rom on sgs4g is clunky and buggy and the custom roms by our great devs are must more stable... Usually.. Lol and they look better and some extra customization options. Also some enhances on performance and battery life!

do you have a link of custom roms i can look at
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Actually I believe your in the wrong forum you use a Samsung galaxy S 2 correct? If so your in the SGS4G forums and they are totally different and flashing one of these roms could potentially brick your phone if I'm not mistaken.

Negative ghost rider.
Not trying to be rude but wrong forum.
Don't want you to start reading into the threads and wind up it not working.
Some apps are compatible but roms are not.
You have been warned.
