HW diagnostic - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes, I know here we are in a SW contest, but the question it's very simple, but I have not the answer.
Does anyone know some tools that can test the single hw component of i9000?
For example:
-camera
-sensor
-antenna
-etc...
I know that some diag it's available via some secret code, what I'm looking it's something more.
Thanks

You might find some useful apps in the market, did you take a look there?
I know there's one for the gps at least.

hi,
i am interested too in such an app e.g.
my i9000 doesn´t connect to 3g/H (umts) anymore.
I installed CM9 and after that i recognized that it isnt working anymore. - but dont know if it was working before...
so, is there a way or an app for testing the umts modul? "G" and "E" is working great....
THX!

I searched all the market, as you said there is some minor apps, for GPS, secret code, but nothing complete maybe either to be used outside android it self

[Q] Getting rid of proximity sensor VIBRATE

Hey there,
I got a milestone running the latest CM7, since around 2 versions ago (~2 weeks) the proximity sensor vibrate when turning the phone on/off during calls.
This is freaking horrible as i have black hair and the sensor is constantly on/off.
basically, i can't the phone as a phone :] before i start downgrading and searching which version is still ok,
anyone knows if this can be fixed via an option/script/etc ?
(i already saw that this is happening to more people, just didn't see a solution yet)
Thank you
There should an option to do it. Did you check the settings in phone?
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
of course i did
Even disabling all the haptic features didn't solve it.
Its something the latest builds inserted without an option (or at least i don't know where it is)
anyone else?

The phone group doesent have a list of applications in it on my phone...
the profile has a "application group" section .. but that to doesnt have dialer...
if the users in this thread are still active .. can you given the detailed steps ? looks like i am searching at the wrong place
Hey,
This is a very very old thread and it happened on CM7, if your using the new CMs it looks different (and i'm not sure the problem still exist...).
In general (if I remember correctly) I just deleted all the stuff I had in the profiles until it worked (I did it for the phone profile, you can experiment).
If your using new CM, I suggest posting in the CM help thread for your device here on XDA

[Q] How to enable AMR-WB on Optimus2x

Hello everyone,
my carrier enabled AMR-WB a few days ago and I would like to enable it on my phone aswell. A workmate enabled it via some hidden Menu on his SGS2, but the code doesn't work on my phone ofc, no menu there Google didn't show any results concerning that strangely.

Also known as HD Voice - should provide a better call quality when enabled on both devices.
no one has an idea?
maybe it doesnt support hd voice
It does but there is no option anywhere. So either its activated permanently or it has to be activated in some 'hidden' menu.

Yeah, that's the problem - the phone supports it, but apparently there is no way of enabling it or check if its enabled. I was asking because of the poor call quality on the o2x in general.
So, basically... judging by the number of replies it isn't possible atm

[Q] What features would you like to see in a rom for your thrill?

Just to get used to the android OS dev side I am going to attempt to blend Meego/Maemo features with android. I will be using the V10k firmware as a basis.
I'm curious as to features you may wish to see in a rom. My main goals are:
Tri-screen functionality: Custom home, Apps, Running apps (Similair to Meego)
Customizable folders for the app screen
Onestop Keyboard (Swype, switch between qwerty and T9/numeric style)
3d functionality remaining
Possible Debian install
Removal of ALL spare apps. If it isn't required, it's gone.
EDIT:
Possible extra features
Option to uninstall apps from app screen via long press.
Option to hide/lock apps
EDIT (Final):
PROGRESS: Android is a surpisingly easy OS to work on and there is a LOT of devel to look at in terms of starting points for coding. I currenty have a debian distro runningwith the android OS. Apt-get works fine, however there is not enough space install any application. This Rom may either be out very soon, or depending on memory issues my be impossible without relying on an SD.
Unlocked tether and wifi hot spot
I'm most concerned with battery longevity. Don't know if you'd call that a feature, but to me it's one of the most important parts.
Wish List for new ROM on LG Thrill
I love this Thrill, for the most part, but I wish that the Phone app, where you see the
Dial, Call Log, Contact and Groups, would work same way as the Stock Android does... basicaly, take out the Groups and put Favorits.
This Group to me is very slow every time I click on it takes 5 to 10 seconds to load.. and then I have to presse the Favorits... which I use the most... so..
Yes, I have about 1700 contacts on my list, but even with just a just contacts, this buttons GROÜPs is very slow.
Also, I wish that the Flash on teh 3D camera mode would work, because right now, only in 2D mode is that the Flash works... I think it is just a setting in some internal files or on the Camera apps that blocks the Flash when in Video or still pic.
Thanks and let us know if these changes are possible or not.
Ron
WIFI Unlock and tether: I belieive its been done on other roms so it should be no problem
Battery: I will see what I can do. The ROM will just be a bare bones OS so there should be very little to eat up the battery.
Contacts to favorites and camera flsh: I'll have to look into this and let you know.

There is a reason behind the flash not working during 3D. They blocked it because the light from the flash messes with the 3D camera. Sure this could be a feature still, just saying this doesn't work for a good reason.

Gingerbread, or Ice Cream Sandwich

I was actually thinking on waiting for the Gingerbread update before starting. The update should be coming anywhere between novemeber and the end of december.
If I wait, then it will give me a bit more time to get familiar with android as an OS andcome up with various way to get the maemo/meego/android mix feel just right. Progress has been fairly fast however. I'm still having memory issues with the debian however. Also, the UI get very buggy. I might just look into utilizing some outside programs.
How would you guys feel if I outed the stock home and keyboard and replaced it with someothing like GO launcher and keyboard?
As long as the keyboard has the speak to text capability, because although mines rooted with thriller, i don't like using swype just to have that option.. it should be on the default keyboards too.

Something else that would be nice is the ability to reboot into recovery. Not a big deal but a nice feature.

Maybe Undervolting, anything to help battery life... patiently waiting for the Gingerbread update to arrive for the Thrill
The reboot option is actually a great idea Ill look into that, I probably will not have an undervolt OR even an overclock option as Im sure it will require a custom kernel. Kernel are something I rarely play with and when I do it's only a temp thing.

The reboot option is used in thriller, oops wrong reboot. I think there was a reason the reboot to recovery didn't work, I remember reading about it in thriller thread.

Hidden menu code changed after v20c update

Hi guys!
I'm in Canada and updated my P925 to v20c couple weeks ago.
Then yesterday I decided to go into hidden menu to check reception. And I could't for a while...
Then I tried o3D model number and it worked! Weird...
Now to access hidden menu I need to dial 3845#*920# instead of 925.
Can somebody else confirm it too? Does itean I have 920 model now? In hidden menu my phone is still listed as 925.
Thanks

The "Hidden Menu" (aka Service Menu etc.) is actually located within the modem (baseband) firmware, so anytime that part is updated, you may risk losing or changing also this menu. In some cases on Samsung devices (using the same modem hardware as the LG-P925G), you loose functionality of hidden menu after playing around with it too much. This is due to very buggy (and secret) modem firmware, but is usually remedied by a simple reboot.
Also I see you use "double" number codes for access. There should be a simpler code for you to use to get in. Look in the ServiceMode.apk (or whatever it's called in your case) for other/more hidden codes particular to your LG devices...
Thanks EVA!
I still little bit confused with these bb and RIL in 3D...
I used to have LG 2x. In that phone bb should be flashed separately from ROM and kernel. Also I ciuld change RIL based on ROM I was using...
Could you explain, please, in couple words, how bb works in 3D?
Do you think bb was updated when i updated my phone to GB through LG web site?
Thanks!

I have no idea how it works in that phone since I don't have one. But you can learn more about baseband processors etc., and in general, in my other thread:
"[A][SGS2][Serial] How to talk to the Modem with AT commands"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471241
Your BP firmware was for sure updated if you went from a major release like Froyo to Gingerbread!
The free market app "Any Cut", among other things, will allow you to make an instant HiddenMenu shortcut to place on your wallpaper or inside any folder and not have to worry about typing the code.

[FAQ][Buglist]P970 MIUI Port(by Frankenstain & Flatzki)

This is an auxiliary thread, created to help developers The Frankenstain and Flatzki with the porting of MIUI to Optimus Black.
Please check to see if your question has been answered here before pestering the thread in the development section. That thread is only to thank them, give support or any other specific request by the developers themselves.
This will be updated with each release of their beta.
FAQs start here:
___________________________________________
Q:Can I just ask all of these issues on their thread?
A:I, as well as everyone else, will bash you and call you names if you do.
Q:Is this ROM good for daily use? how is the stability?
A:This ROM is mostly ready for daily use, yes, some things remain to be fixed, but stability is really good, and so is overall smoothness.
Q: Does Hardware acceleration work?
A:Not fully, video can't be recorded at 720p as of version 2.0 and lower video resolutions are color shifted.
Q: Does Camera(for pictures) work?
A:Yes, fully and at all resolutions.
Q: Do Sensors(accelerometer, etc...) work?
A:Yes, fixed in 2.0.
Q: Does this MIUI build allows us to pull down the notification panel from a fullscreen app?
A:Yes, yes it does.
Q:I took a screenshot with the built in feature but I can't find it !
A:If you're using 1.0 it's in the /cache folder (use a root explorer). In 1.5 (credit to gsal for noticing this) there is an error saving to the SD card and images can only be captured when the sd card is not mounted. The location they're saved in is /data/sdcard/MIUI/
Q:My carrier is definitely not a huge string of numbers, what do I do?
A:Open up MIUI control panel app->statusbar->Carrier options and set the custom carrier to your liking(or just hide it).
Q:How do I change how the battery is displayed?
A:Settings->System->Battery->Battery indicator style.
Q:Is the MIUI Theme manager working
A:Yes, fully.
Q:Is GPS working?
A:Not for me, as well as some other users, but developers say it does, so it might be device or location specific.
Try this if it doesn't: GPS FIX
Q:Can I use Huexxx's kernel with this ROM?
A:Since v2.1 it's already included.
Q:Is this ROM in my language?
A:Yes, if it's one of these:
Deutsch
English
Español
Français
Hebrew
Italiano
Polski
Russian
Chinese
Q:What is the difference with that other MIUI rom from flatzki?
A:That was a patchrom, this is a port, which gives the devs more control over their rom. As well as this version having less of CM7 (ie: no CM7 settings)
Q: Does it use Aroma installer?
A:Yes, although no customisation is available as of v2. 1
Q:Can I switch music tracks with volume keys?
A:Yes, it is implemented since v1.5
Q:When will this rom... ?
A:Just wait patiently, the devs already know what is and what is not working and are troubleshooting those issues. Asking for ETA's is morally unacceptable (this applies to all of XDA too.)
Q:How is the battery life?
A:Using only 2g and some wifi, I got easily 20+ hours with medium use, considering drain overnight is very low.
Q: Does USB mass storage mode work?
A:Yes, It also remembers your choice for automatic mounting.
Q:Wifi is not reactivating after screen off
A:Set the sleep policy to never sleep.

About the call end bug.
Since the sensors are not working, removing the phone from ur face will not turn on the screen. So u are left to press the power button to "unlock" the screen so u can press the end button. Thats when it gets stuck.
The only bypass is to let the other person hang up first.

First of all i envy you because i recently suffered torn cruciate ligaments and i need surgery but in greece it is impossible atm.regarding the gps it finds 5 satellites max.i think that it won't be able to maintain the signal for a long distance.i asked flatzki if it is possible to attach a setup like cm7 in zeus rom.i think that works great.overall the rom kicks @ss and the language pack works perfect except from the vibration.everything is in greek.
