[Q] Music and videos files won't play - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yeah, i'm currently on Darky's v9.5 rom and i experience this problem as well. Video files and music files doesn't play after a period of phone usage, giving the error of "The player don't support this type of file." For me, the way of fixing this is to reboot my phone. Is there any way to solve this problem without having the need to reboot my phone? Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue using seearms' ROM.
I'll try to reflash.

I have the same problem with the standard Samsung ROM so it's not right to bash custom rom developers.
Apparently it's due to the task killer killing off parts of the system that are needed by the music player.
I'm looking for a fix for this at the moment

Short answer is true answer search the forum littered with similar posts and no help given by the dev to all these poor users with busted phones .

My samsung galaxy s running froyo probs.

Hi all developers..i wanna ask a for help to solve a couple of issue with my sgs..i just bought my sgs for 2weeks now,n i manage to upgrade it to froyo using kies..for the 1st week running it on froyo,i feel very satisfied with the speed..the lag is insignificant,n i always downloading apps n games from applanet.
But the problems started the 2nd week..There were many of my apps force closed..and after that force close,my top notification bar hardly responding..its like it is hanged..n it is fixed once i restart the phone.n after that it will happend again. There were also one more problems where my applanet wont download any apps n games anymore.at 1st i thought its my connection issue..but from marlet i can easily download..but not from applanet..i tried to uninstall n reinstall but still not working..
Pls help me to figure this out...n sorry for any typo as im typing using my sgs..
Factory reset is your first step .
jje
If i reset it. Would it delete all my apps n setting?n would it reset my sgs back to enclair?
Backup first yes it deletes settings etc and no it will only go back to the rom you have installed .
Is Applanet the illegal warez site that may well have been your problem starter dodgy software .
jje
Thanx jjegan,so do u mean that applanet is the source of my probs?or the apps i download from applanet?it is sad if i cant use applanet cuz it is source for my apps n games.

Darkyy's Q&A

Darky Q&A
It seems that a pinned Q&A for Darky is missing here.
I have been using Darky 8.1 and just recently decided to give 9.3 a try. One of the things I have liked about Darky is that that the version of 2.2.1 on it supports bluetooth voice dial. I have a BlueAnt S4 in my car, and although it does not voice dial 100% perfectly, it's still worth using. (the rest of the 2.2.1 roms I have tried that do not support bluetooth handsfree)
Okay, here is my question: on Darky 8.1, going to Settings - Display - Wallpaper -Lock screen wallpaper - Gallery ... would result in->
Sorry!
The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Force close]
I seem to remember the initial update to 9.0 (or 9.1) listed that this was fixed. I just got 9.3 running last night, and this still results in a force close. Does Darky have a forum to post this kind of thing, where the developers might see it?
swype
Okay, Swype just expired.
"Your trial period has ended. Please upgrade your copy of Swype."
I am on Darky 9.3 extreme captivate edition. Any fix?

Same problem here, also on Darky 9.3 extreme cappy. I've tried reflashing the captivate swype file, restoring a previous back up, and installing the newest beta. No dice on all 3 accounts.
This doesn't seem to be a problem with just Darky though, and poking around the site it doesn't look like it is exclusive to the Captivate either.
Darky's 9.3 phone not receiving calls
Once again I would have posted in Darky thread in android development if I could..
Ever since I have installed Darky's my phone has had problems receiving calls and will often say "simcard removed from phone please reboot". Today I got a new simcard because I thought that may be the problem but I tested and it still doesn't work. My friend rung me and as the call comes through my phone loses service and the call gets cut instantly and slightly later it'll pop up saying simcard removed please reboot phone. Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe it's time to go to Cyanogen Mod..
Did you ever restore data with Titanium Backup after you installed Darky's?
Yup I restored everything that was on my old rom Cognition
That's your problem. I used to have the same problem. Your phone settings is different between the two ROMs. You should typically ONLY restore app data. Not the system data.
Try going into back into TiBu, then find 'Phone' and click on 'Wipe data'. Hopefully that'll make your calls work again. If not, you might need to reflash Darky's.
System data backups really don't work well between different ROMs (and even different versions of the same ROM).
P.S. Nice to meet another NZer btw.
Oh I see, yeah that makes sense, I asked a friend if I should restore everything I backed up and he wasn't sure so I just restored them all anyway. Now I'm not sure if I should reflash Darky's or move to Cyanogen Mod.
I would try the 'Wipe data' thing first before I try any flashing though!
Upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3 help
In the dev thread, it says you should flash a captivate kernal and modem before installing 9.3. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a guide to flashing modems/kernals.
Just kinda worried cause I have read so much about people bricking their phones when putting the wrong kernal/modem combo together. I noticed on the Darky app it has options already there, so do I have to downlad the kernal seperately, or did it come with the app, or does the app download it from somewhere?
I am afraid that if I flash the modem first, then reboot it won't match the kernal and I will get stuck.
Thanks!

You can flash a Modem in Recovery just like you Flash a ROM or Kernel. If you happen to Flash a wrong Modem it won't cause any problems other than you won't get Cell Service. I am presently using the New znkp1 modem and it doing Great on my Cappy with 9.3 Darky and SuckerPunch/Voodoo Kernel.

Just letting you know that in the Darky Rom Configurator App, if u enable LockScreen Wallpaper, it would use Samsung Gallery which has a battery draining bug. Hence it is an option in the Darky app before flashing.
If you really want to use it, enable it and then flash. Or I'll just work on disabling that menu option.

Don't know if I'm too late on this but...the modem/kernel combo included has been working good for me; no need to change it. Like rickysa2000 said, don't select a modem/kernel using Darky's Configurator when you flash 9.3.
My only SMALL issue has been when going into APPS and sometimes they won't scroll for maybe two/three seconds.
But it's still my favorite ROM so far (though it's only my fourth). Especially impressed with the dev's attitude and willingness to help!!!
[ROM] Darkyy's 10.0 Gingerbread!

i do not think the port will be coming anytime soon. Without source you can not have a captivate kernel. You can flash i9000 but no back button, and screen rotation, head phone jack, etc
MIUI

[Q] no sound off turning on\off

hello, i installed a rom(not found on xda forum but on an israeli forum) and it's based on 2.3.3 version.
the problome, as you assume, that i cant here the turning off\on sound(when the animation of the falshing 's' appers) and i cant here music on my fruit ninja game(not specificly to this rom but to any 2.3.3 rom).
does this problome have anything to the rom, can be fixed by falshing some file?
best regards,
roy.
One try a factory reset .
Two ask in the forum that supplied the firmware .
Three i recall a Hebrew thread on here dont know if you would be better posting in that .

The NO turning on and off sound is a highly requested feature!!!! Not a bug. Any decent kernel dev kills that sound off.
Why would you even want to have it?
And why are still ppl reporting it as a bug?!
And why didn't JJE know this?
to the fruit ninja, as I think I saw some thread about it too..
And why didn't JJE know this?
A misread his Englisj
B i is forgetting everything ready for SGS2
C i always put sound back in custom rom
D i is noob
jje
just thoght so... :S; it is anoying sound but it was really strange that it not playing when turning on\off the device.
and for the second problome: why cant i here music in my fruit ninja(there is a slashing sound but no music)? it's appere to be only on 2.2.3 rom, do you know of any fix for that?

Random reboots

Hi guys
A friend of mine has a problem: his Galaxy keeps restarting randomly for no reason, many times in a day while using it.
What is weird: the phone hasn't ever been rooted/flashed with a custom rom, neither updated, always been 100% original. Just a normal usage!
I'm not much into this phone, so i don't know if it's a known issue or what.. but it sounds strange to me, possible hardware problem? Needs to be flashed or rooted? Other?
I've already done a factory reset and now i took off the sd-card to see if it could be it, but i'd appreciate some advices!
Thanks
Try updating it with kies, might help but can't guarantee
if random reboots happens while using too much mobile resources then its normal for galaxy mini like phone
Random Reboots might be device specific or not , It depends.
But you may want to visit the samsung care center in your vicinity area just to be sure about the latter .
Else just flash a new stock Rom via ODIN (not that it would leave your device impure as rooting does ).

Is Froyo the last "official" release or was a Gingerbread leaked/official firmware released? I'll probably try flashing something, don't know yet if a custom rom could solve the problem but still it's a possibility

With mobile resources you mean 3G/wifi or RAM? By the way in both the cases i don't think it's the problem, since there aren't many apps in background and the only one using internet connection is whatsapp!
Thanks for the replies :good:

The last official android update for for sgm was gingerbread based api.
Try flashing the stock gingerbread on the device via odin (google it if you don't know how to.) and then try custom roms.
Also the thing about resources, you already know about our sgm aka lil'g . Its not that powerful as most quad core latest devices boosted by plenty much RAM. So multitask on it wisely.

I'll try with gingerbread when i see my friend, thanks! I own a i9000 and flashed pretty much so i know odin and similar stuff, no problem
And yes i tried the mini many times, doesn't have a bunch of ram but still i think it can't be a ram-lack problem since it did the same also after the factory reset, with few apps installed!
Thanks again for the help :good:
Oh, was forgetting: how does the cyano run on the mini? Smooth? Battery killer or ok for everyday use?
Try cm7 by mebitek. Despite its source code is old and official cm7 is way more ahead of it, the mebitek's cm7 relays on battery & performance like a pro..
by resources I mean more ram and CPU usage
background apps ( they don't play big role as they get closed automatically)
running big games (HD one)
etc.
if you have many apps, cut the .android_secure folder and paste it on your computer.. i had this problem with the stock GB 2.3.6.. reboots reboots and reboots!! i pasted the folder in my comp, delete unnecessarily used apps and VOILA! it was running smooth again.. but now i'm using cm7..
I updated to official gingerbread release, then after putting all the (few) apps into phone storage i removed every android-secure file!
I'll see how it goes with this, if the problem remains i'll try a cyano or go directly to the service center
Thanks again for the tips!
