[Q] SGS Problem... - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi read there lots of 3 buttons problem...sorry to ask what is actually the 3 button problem????...
and one more thing...my phone firmware now is jf3...and when i connect with kies it show a new update for firmware....what is the different actually with both of the firmware????
have any of you faced the problem where your wifi turn on by itself and sometimes the wifi button does not functioning and need to restart your phone to solve it....

let Kies upgrade you to the latest firmware the stock JF3 is tooooooooo old, and too many bugs

I bought my phone with jf3 as well, and had the exact same problem where the wifi will turn itself on and got stuck. The only solution was to restart the phone. I upgraded to jm8 and never had this problem again. Just update your phone through kies or odin.
The three button problem is when you can't access download mode or recovery mode holding a combination of three hardware buttons: volume up+home+power, or volume down+home+power

hey....i am thinking right now to upadate my firmware but i cant as the process got stuck...dont know why it happened..maybe bcoz of my kies probably...anywhere my kies version is 1.5.3.10093.80...

[Q] Firmware Update through Kies led to black screen

Hi there,
I've read through the stickies and searched for a solution to this problem. However, I am still unable to find a solution.
So, I my Galaxy S was rooted with One-Click Lag Fix and I decided to upgrade the firmware on it. I did not think that I needed to unroot it before I performed the update though. When the phone rebooted itself, it would show the Galaxy S start-up logo then go black. However, it does vibrate..at random intervals for some odd reason even if the screen is black.
tl;dr - Anyway, my Galaxy cannot go into recovery mode through the 3 buttons method and I can't seem to connect it to Kies or connect usb and whatnot. So, am I doomed to send it back for repairs? Or is there some way.
Thanks in advance!

Since it did start to boot, you might try seeing if you can issue the command
adb reboot recovery
Hmm I thought I have to enable/disable some USB settings (USB Debugging) before ADB Reboot Recovery works.
Nonetheless, I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks.
EDIT: No luck =\
I've only way to actually fix it is going into the recover mode and doing a factory reset .
Volume Down button + Home key + Power
Volume up button + Home key + Power
one of them goes to recovery other goes to the android installing thing.
try them both not sure which is which.
Yes I know. However, my I9000 is unable to do the 3 button method (some sort of bug/defect).
Basically, I have to bring it back for repairs =.=

[Q] sgs after froyo update from kies are almost dead

hello
today i update my sgs in kies to froyo. After update phone shows my operator brand, next shows loong time S logo, and go to black screen. In that black screen sgs vibrate 1 time, few seconds later vibrate 3 times, and so on 1 time, 3 times..........................
download mode not work
recovery not work
PC not recognize phone
what can i do ?
Same problem here
Hi,
I was wondering if you managed to fix your problem... the same is happening to me after updating to Froyo through Kies.
Phone simply isn't working properly anymore... just like you described, strange vibration every now and then, it vibrates one time then after a while 3 times, and so on.
Thanks.
the recovery mode and download mode won't work since phone is still on.
vibrate means its restarting and starting.
so remove battery and
and put it back on
try recovery mode and factory reset : ) thats what i did hehehe
This has happened to me. What I did is remove the battery to turn off the phone. Then, I use the three button combination to enter the recovery mode. From there, I did a factory reset and Formatted the phone. It worked fine after that.

[Q] Phone fails to wake on a single key press (XWJS5)

My Galaxy S has a strange bug and I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same behaviour.
The phone does not always wake from standby when I press the home button or the on/off button. It sometimes does not register the key press when I try to wake the phone. It wakes up the second time I press the button.
I'm running stock Froyo 2.2.1 (XWJS5) Dutch version.
I Already tried a factory reset and a reflash trough odin. Problem is still there.
Because it happens when using the home key and the on/off button makes me think this is a software problem. I will try to flash an earlier firmware to see if the problem is there as well.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
did this occur b4 xwjs5...?

Don't know to be honest. It's a brand new phone. My previous Galaxy S didn't show this behaviour, but then again my previous phone never ran XWJS5
At first I ran the update through Kies. Than I did a reflash through Odin. Both had this problem
So I flashed back to XWJPA and all is fine. No running Doc's ROM and also fine. So it seems like a bug in the XWJS5.
Problem solved I guess

Galaxy mini doesn't do anythin HELP

bricked. (not very sure,cwm frm rom manager is partially supported now. work in progress)
only if ur able to get into download mode u'll be able to flash a rom...

That is a nice, nasty, hard brick.
If you are getting into download mode and ODIN running on the PC recognises your phone, you are lucky - get any stock rom from samfirmware and flash it first. Use the phone for a few days more, and then, you can upgrade to new 7.1 cyanogenmod ROM.
try going into download mode by holding home and vol down the connect the usb 2 ur phone
or try holding vol up+down home and power
if it doesnt work try getting a jig from ebay
get a jig its the only way to fix it
SSC (Samsung Service Center) is the only way.
Congrats, next time read before doing anything.

[Q] Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
I tried to root my Galaxy note using the Odin method, and now i'm getting nothing but a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I would happily follow those directions, but now Kies won't recognize my device?!?!? I also can not get back into download mode. I have no idea what to do. Is there anyone out there that can help? please?
I do not know where to put this post, its my first one.... I am so sorry if it is not in the right place....
Iam all stressed out....
I tried to update to the latest firmware Icecream..... with odin method... it starts than it stops at hidden.img .......................over and over again..

First make sure your phone is charged, before trying to get it into download mode again, if you can't you need a usb jig.
It was fully charged befor I started the update
Charge device for 1 hour.. Then pull out battery . wait for few seconds. again put battery in. Then Hold Volume down + home + Power for 10 secs. it should enter download mode.
If it doesn't work, Pull out the battery. hold volume up button put battery in holding volume up button, connect data cable to PC and Device, now it should get in to download mode.
if you able to get in to Download mode first flash Stock GB ROM using PC Odin.
