[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Problem

Hello. I have recently flashed my phone with darky's. I got very disappointed mainly because of battery drainage and I switched to Doc's Custom Cooked ROM from romkitchen.org
My MAIN problem with Galaxy S is that after about 15 reboots (NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USE) I get the force close loop and everything goes straight to hell. All my apps are invalidated and nothing works anymore. I am tired of flashing and reflashing my phone. I just want to USE IT, NOT WASTE TIME FIXING IT!
I kindly ask for a solution on this forum. I would also like to say that I have applied the "/system corruption problem" but this didn't work at all.
I am eagerly waiting for an answer. Currently there are 2 sollutions:
1 - Solve this damn problem
2 - Throw SGS to trash can and buy an iPhone
Please help!

Just flash with the stock v2.2.1. Use your phone...
If you go with a custom rom, you gotta expect issues.

To be honest with you, it might just be your phone...I've flashed countless times and not had a bootloop in months. Try doing a factory reset and start from scratch from either Darky or Doc's ROM

+1 to that.
If you really want a custom rom with good battery... I'd recommend a clean 2.2.1 JPY flash and then Darky's 8.0/8.1 . The battery life is much better in those versions. I get ~1%/hr drain at night with Darky 8.1 vs ~3% with 9.2

I have recently tried Insanity 0.6.1 and find it very good. It actually doesn't have all that bloatware from Samsung and therefore it has more stability! I have been using it for a day. Given ~ 20 restarts and no problems. I hope everything is going to be allright. I'll report back in a couple of days or as soon as it gets problems.

[Q] First impressions of Galaxy Note after upgrading from SGS2 PLZ read..

Hello everybody,
I just got my SGNote 2 days back after having used the S2 for last 1 year.. To be honest sgs2 is by far the BEST phone i have used till date and maybe the note can surpass its experience but currently i am little disappointed due to lack of knowledge about proper fw and modems for the note..
my pda and csc currently after buying from shop here in china is:zsLA2 and phone:XXLA4.. btw i got my sgs2 here in china as well so please avoid comments such as i faced last year sayn china quality bad and... it was true 5 years back but gotta see to believe where this country is heading towards so please no childish remarks such as get new phone or in other country..btw phone is manufactured in vietnam if thats a little consolidation my sgs2 was made in china and not 1 day did it give me problem expect random reboots but that was ONLY due to software..
I am satisfied with the brilliant screen and smoothness of the phone on touchwiz but very unhappy about battery life..i wont blame the phone but only GB since i had similar issues on some firmwares with sgs2 as well.. but check this. my phone was full charge and on flight mode overnight and when i checkd after leaving 12 hrs idle till morning it drained to 45%.. thats jus wtf statistics since phone was untouched and drained half battery.. huh? :s
anyways if any fellow note users have faced similar problems before can you please show some support and ideas to fix this issue..
btw currently i cannot atm upgrade to ICS since i m here in china for holidays till next 2 weeks and cannot download files from mediafire and such since all blocked by great firewall but as soon as i get back to college in kl id upgrade to ICS just like my SGS2.. I just loved the upgrade on sgs2! can you believe my battery life increased from 26hrs to 38+ with similar use.. its amazing really and i am hoping to get similar performance from this note as well since i want to use this device for a year till i think about sgs3 when price goes down
CHEERS mates and any comments and suggestions very much appreciated

Some app must be causing your phone to stay awake, check the battery usage chart for confirmation.
My phone drains hardly 3 or maybe 5 % tops at night. ofcourse the data and wifi are turned off when I sleep

Here is the battery usage stats to confirm my weird battery behavior..
Btw why cant i upload my screenshot directly which is in png format..wouldnt let me saying wrong extention. Had to take pic and upload that instead.. Not as convenient but oh well

You could just rename the extension as .jpg and upload.
regarding your problem, there is something that is keeping your phone awake constantly, could be that you have turned the sync on.
Just install better battery stats and CPU spy. These will help you know what is causing the issue.
Also turn off auto sync and/or any live wall papers that try and access internet intially to check if your battery is OK.
all the best!

that's what i thought also but il tell you the exact % usage maybe..
Display:47%
phone idle:13%
remaining 6 other things all around 5%.. doesnt seem anything wrong by the looks of it.. and when i click display it says time on only 1hr.. 1 hr should not consume 47% ryt??
btw thanks rijo and anil for fast replies.. i got cpu spy and its showing 61% at 200mhz and 29% deep sleep.. my auto sycn has been off as well since before but not background data that shouldn't matter m guessing..

Use better battery stats and badass battery monitor and identify the sucker!
By the look of your screen shot, it seems battery is dropping too fast even in deep sleep. Strange.

True. Why dont you do a factory wipe and clear dalvik cache.
What is your config by the way? Are you rooted?

sorry buddy haven't begun the process of rooting yet since i only had the phone 2 days and its very hard to download the files uploaded here from hotfile and such since its all blocked here in china..
i did do a factory reset in the shop before getting because there was some chinese fw on it before and i asked to put the latest eu one they had which was
PDA:ZSLA2
PHONE:XXLA4
CSC:ZSLA2
i found a nice forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
there are some odexed rooted and repacked files here and luckily there is one with torrent link which i can download
3*Files Wipe N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1 Open Europe (02/03/2012)
if you want No-wipe version, not flash "GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALC1.tar"- this will format your data

i contacted the dev if i can directly flash this using odin from pc as recommend by him on top of my LA4 without having to downgrade to KJ like chainfire recommends since i cannot find torrent for that file from CF
hopefully if dev gives affirmation then i plan to flash the odexed LC1 from odin then flash the I9220-N7000 LP1 ICS REPACK by chainfire to get ics running on my phone like s2 i had.. really miss it!
btw, can anyone provide me apk for mobile odin please since its not available in google play in china currently.. much appreciate all the help

You can definately flash that pre-rooted rom with Odin without any problems. I've done the same thing when I got my phone and have been flashing different roms since.
Eventually I wanted to check out ICS so I flashed the LP1 Repack and tried a couple of roms. At the moment I'm running Stunner 1.4.19 and that's definately one of the best roms I've ever used.
After you flash the pre-rooted rom you could try a Market fix to be able to download more apps in the store and get Mobile Odin.
As an alternative you could flash the Repack with pc Odin but that will increase the binary counter and void your warranty. The counter can be reset if you have a so called JIG which is basically just a USB connector with a resistor. Just look in the development section for more info.

thanks buddy will give the pre rooted rom a go in the morning currently engaged with rm-bm match.. intense! btw do i need to flash the cf kernel for the same fw after flashing the rom? or the pre root got cwm and su already? thanks a bunch atleast i feel safe to proceed once i collect all the files in morning.. have a good day y'all

The pre-rooted kernels don't come with CWM recovery, only SU, so you should either install it yourself or just flash a kernel with recovery, cf kernel will do just fine. Then flash the repack with Mobile Odin and then flash any ICS rom you want with recovery.

Aire you sure that you have a N7000 and not an I9220?

Are u sure you are serious?? you've been on XDA less than 3 months and you seem like one of the many people here who just post for the sake of posting something to increase their post count without giving any contribution to the discussion..
I have been around here for sometime and I do think I can read the model no of my phones either from the BOX and from the About Phone: Model no... and how i know you didn't even bother to read the previous posts is because in post 3 sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA is in the signature if you actually read about my issues and the helpful comments of the other members who genuinely understood my problem and suggested many possible solutions..
I apologize for being rude to you but you should not underestimate or demean the members here just because even now you have an android phone like others and feel you understand it all..no one does that's why this is such a humble and friendly community.. Cheers

Sorry guy i didnt knew all that things, i was trying to prevent bad things, because iveseen people that didnt know that they ha a i9220
Sorry

phone freeze

I am in stock rom 2.3.4 and waiting for ics to come out and lately my phone often feeze alot like when i'm surfing the web or playing games.
And then the phone start to get very hot.
Is it because i flashed and flashed and flashed too many rom on my phone so much that it effect the hardware? Should i reflash stock rom again?

Reflash stock rom and then if that doesn't work contact LG and tell them your phone keeps on freezing. (Don't tell them that you flashed roms because that voids the warranty.)Hopefully they can fix it and if not replace it. Good luck!

[Q] my i9000 boot loops a bazillion times

hi guys
my i9000 boot loops a bazillion times before it finally decides to start up normally.
I was wondering what could be the cause of it and if there's a way to fix this
the phone is rooted on stock gb 2.3.3
(just rooted the phone, didn't flash any custom rom or kernel on it)
everything else works great, except the boot loop problem when I reboot the device sometimes
if flashing is a solution, please recommend something that works great with the i9000
I'm really thinking to flash it, but thought to ask here first
thanks!

Flashing it is probably the best option IMO you should give one of the many 4.2.2 ROMs a try the i9000 loves it

[Q] Nothing will get my IMEI working on CM! Different /efs folder files!

Ok guys, so here's what's happening... I have tried every method I could find online in order to get my IMEI to be recognized in the CM11. At first I tried it with the CM10.2 to no avail, and now I am failing with the latest one.
When I rollback to 2.2 or 2.3.3 my IMEI starts working again. HOWEVER, even with these stock versions, my efs folder contains a DIFFERENT set of files inside. In particular I have one file LESS (I think). It is the nv_data.bin. I do not know why I don't have that file, nor why my IMEI works without it!
But the point is that I, then, cannot use that "stock" efs folder to replace the new one created when I flash the CM11! Do you see my problem?! What should I do?! I really don't want to keep the 2.3.3 having experimented the CM11! I am sending a printscreen of my "backed-up" efs stock folder with hidden files enabled to see if anyone has an idea.
Please help me out! I am desperate here!
PS: MY model is the i9000b (from brazil) which is why I do not have a stock 2.3.6 (I think).

Go back to GB and then upgrade to KK in steps.
GB/ICS/JB/KK
I know some people haven't had any problems with jumping straight to KK from GB, but the only ever time that I personally lost my IMEI was when I was on GB and installed JB, missing out ICS...

Thanks for the suggestion. I might try that in the future, I'm kind of sick of rolling back and flashing over and over again for now. The good news is that my problem is (partially) fixed. I went back to KK (CM11) and still don't have IMEI but I can call and get calls again. It turns out my stupid carrier had blocked my SIM for some reason, so at least now it's useable again!

But my battery is being eaten like it's candy, though...

After installing which ROM?
Download betterbatterystats, it will tell you what the problem is. What does even settings>battery tell you is using battery?

I've got a nightly CM11 for I9000B running. The battery tells me it's the screen (34%), the Android System (20%) and then surprisingly a game I play not as often as the 10% would represent. I already have my brightness lowered to half and still my battery seems to be getting worse and worse.
Going to try batterybetterystats and get back to you now!

Ok so batterybatterystats is paid :/ Any other free suggestions?

How long is your full time from a charge, and how much screen on time?
