[Q] i9000m Assistance please - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there everyone,
So I want to start by saying that I have searched around quite a bit to get a straight answer or guide on my issue and have had quite a joy ride the past few weeks. I have a Samsung Galaxy i9000M that is now Rooted and running on stock Gingerbread (highest version I can get through kies).
What I want to do is install a custom rom of a Jelly Bean sorts. I had it installed before, and worked like a charm. Extremely fast and everything worked - Except my mobile networks. I could not receive my mobile connection, hence making my cellphone not work as one. I have tried dozens of forums on how to fix this with no luck at all.
I am willing to provide more information as needed, but I was wondering if there was a quick fix that is not so easy to find?
Thank you

Hey, actually this worked. I used a KG3 modem for CM10 and now my networks work!! Super excited to be using my i9000M with jelly bean. Super fast! Only issue I am having now is that I get android.process.media force close pop up quite often. As far as I can dig there is no fix for that yet. Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch for the KG3 modem resolution as well!

Did you restore any system apps using titanium backup? That can cause app force close to pop up. Try clearing the app data for the media app. Failing that just do a factory reset.

Okay so what I did was reinstall my gapps.zip, and I made sure I was installing the correct version. This got rid of the android.process.media message. But it also brought up a new issue. No google apps worked! Especially the Play Store. But it was a simple fix actually. All I needed to do was remove my Gmail account and then re sign in using the Play Store!
Thanks for all the help guys! Really appreciate it!

Unable to download from Google App Market

Hi guys,
I have recently downloading the new Cyanogenmod for the Milestone, and although its a pretty good mod, I haven't been able to download things from google market. I have installed GAPPS when it was required, and I can navigate the market fine, it even picks up my bought purchases. However, when I click on download,it says that it is downloading but the bar doesn't move. I;ve reflashed and rebooted numerous times but that doesnt seem to have fixed the problem. I was wondering if any of you had experienced the same thing and if so, how could I fix it?
I have plenty of space on my phone and my SD card too so I can't see where the problem lies.
update, I have looked around a little, and it may be a problem that I cannot connect to googletalk server. Anyone know how to resolve this?
Also, switching from wireless to 3g to 2g doesn't seem to help either.
Having the same problem with my X10! Will show updates for my existing apps but when I click on them to update it just states that they are downloading and they never update! I have power cycles the phone, stopped the update, installed the Google market updates and tried again, still the same result!
I have a rooted X 10 with 2.1.
Anybody else having the same problem?
totally weird, but everything seems to be in working order now. I didn't do anything at all either.
I had to connect to flashtool and reload the os to get it working again!
Tried finding just the market .she file but wasn't sure which one was the one that was messed up! Didn't want to make it worse so just flashed the whole OS

i faced the same problem too, i've been coping with this for about 2 months on CM6 and now it's kinda getting in my nerves. I can't download from the Market and it's annoying when i want to download some apps in a big hurry. I see that i'm not the only one facing this problem, but may i ask for help here? what can i do to fix this problem? you have my thanks
Did you try flashing the OS again or reloading the CM6 ROM? Mine has been working fine since I flashed my OS again.

Wipe data, then flash the ROM. Google Apps you need to wipe both cache partition and dalvik cache AFTER flashing the ROM.

Having the same problem from many days and also cm7 is laggy although I still use it. Somebody recommend something please.

I used to have this problem after extendend periods without a wifi connection... it seemed like my purchases would only download on wifi, whereas free apps would d/l on cellular networks
I do have Market problems from time to time, being unable to download. I've try pretty much everything but nothing helped, except: waiting! If apps fail to download constantly, they'll do just fine the next day ...
It seems that the Market has internal problems that cause this. Also I have this behaviour once in a while: viewing "my apps" in the Market will sometimes (!) only show me the Google Apps (Maps, YouTube, etc.) and all the ones that I purchased but *no* free apps at all.
Same again: waiting some time will restore the original (and correct) list.

I think that might just be the limitations of the Gapps we flash. I get those same issues, but a simple reboot fixes everything, nothing to worry about!

[Q] Plane mode bug

Hi everyone.
So, this is my problem:
http://images.orkut.com/orkut/photo...9E7ePr_8Am1T1UHiPgwGpeh7tb_Dn59t24Hsb_ZWU.jpg
My wi-fi is turning on by itself after i manually turn it off. And even when i set plane mode the wi-fi is still on. At first i thought it was impossible and i was dreaming but no. This is really annoying me, my battery won't last a day with my wifi always on.
If anyone could possibly help me with this problem i would really aprecciate it! =(
Oh and i already tried wiping all user data and tried flashing other roms as well. I tried shadowmod and cyanogen too. currently i'm using the froyomod 2.7. All have the same problem. I really don't know what to do.

Do you have any 3rd party power saving apps installed? For example, I have an app called "Network Switcher" installed, that given certain conditions, it turns on or off 3g and wifi. I have it set to turn 3g and wifi off between 11:15pm and 7:15am if the screen is off. (this helps save a ton of battery while I'm sleeping)
Your screenshot doesn't look like a clean stock ROM, so even if you did wipe data, it looks like you installed some stuff. Did you do a complete wipe back to stock, and it's still doing this?
No, i don't use any apps to save battery or manage my networks. And yes, everytime i install or upgrade to a new rom i wipe all data. I haven't tried using the 2.2 stock rom to see if i'd have the problem there too. I'm currently using froyomod, i have always used modified roms and i'd never had this sort of problem before.

So when did it start happening? Did you notice it after you installed something? Or after you flashed your current ROM? Did you have anything installed before that may have been saved to your SD card using apps2sd, and it somehow got "lost", but the setting remained?
If I were you, I would flash the stock 2.2.1 SBF (get it here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221), and reflash the latest FroyoMOD on top of that. First back up all your app data using TB though, and restore afterwards. That may be your only hope.
I noticed it after i installed Froyomod 2.7, but i don't think it was the rom since nobody else complained about a problem like that. And i haven't installed any different apps than the ones i've always used.
Thank you for the advice! I'll try to flash the SBF file right now, and i will also erase my SD Card, just in case.
I'll let you know after it's done. Thanks again!!
Unfortunately i did everything as i was told and nothing worked, the problem won't go away. Guess i'll have to use the 2.1 stock rom. It's better than having my wi-fi always on. But thanks for the help!! =)

Turns out you're not the only one... see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064823
They did not have any solutions that worked for them either though. Sorry.
Yes, a few people had this problem as well, but nobody said if they got to fix it or if it stopped.
The most annoying thing: I went back to 2.1 stock rom because i thought it would stop, when i installed it was ok but after a few hours that i'm using the rom the problem started again.
This really sucks. I will never buy any motorola products no more.
Anyway, thanks for your help. It's really good to have helpful people on this forum.
Turning the airplane mode on will not disable your wifi... only the radio(antena).
The question is: does your radio works normally?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
Yes, everything is working normally, only the wifi that won't turn off.
Ok... there are two free apps on the Market that might fiz your problem.
1) Wifi Fixer
2) FXR Wifi fix and Rescue
Try it and let us know.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
I had already tried wifi fixer before, didn't work.
Tried FXR and didn't work as well! Honestly i'm giving up.
I will sell this phone as soon as i get the chance and i'm never gonna buy a motorola ever again! -__-'

Dont give up yet... have you tried flashing the GOT 2.2.1?
Try this and flash CM7 over it.

I tried CM7 and had the same problem. I think it might be a hardware problem because i tried everything. :/

Hi, I think the problem is coming from the ROM.
First you should wipe cach/data. I mean factory reset, then download a newly fresh Open Recoveries, and do the flash ROM again and place it into SD card (remember to delete the old one: Nandroid and Open recoveries folders and update.zip file). THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT.
Here is the link of CM7 ROm but very light. it si good for MS than ever:
http://www.mediafire.com/?hdymcqvueo8opm9
Below is the google apps package:

I use it and it works well.

[Q] Question about Rooting and Returning to Stock

My apologies if this has been asked before... I've spent some time searching both here and google, but I don't think I've found a thread that answers this question specifically.
First:
I've rooted (Using SuperOneClick) for the first time to use the "Battery Calibration" app (which works great by the way), but then started getting a little creative and removed a whole bunch of stock bloatware and other programs I don't use from my Bell I9000M.
Now, after using it for a couple of days, I noticed under WhatsApp settings under "About", when I hit the "Contact Us" button, it stated no Email App was installed (I removed the Gmail app, as I only use the built in Samsung Social Hub email). I didn't really notice if Gmail was the only selection in there to begin with, but it appeared weird to me.
So, while the phone was still rooted, I did a factory reset. After doing so, I noticed the phone was still rooted (I think - SuperUser was still there), and none of the Apps I originally removed were there.
Then, I thought I screwed up the Rom, so I used SpoofFW under root and manipulated the firmware version so Kies would allow me to redownload KC1. It did so, but after the ROM was installed, SuperUser was still there, but all apps were back.
I was under the impression that when you update your phone via Kies, it returns to full stock. Guess I was wrong.
So how do you bring it back to full stock, eliminating any traces of Root?
I've never installed anything beyond root... no kernal changes, new roms or anything else.. just SuperOneClick.
Can anyone help? Sorry about the wordy post.
SuperOneClick should offer the possibility to unroot too.
If not you'll have to flash an unrooted stock-FW (available at samfirmware.com).

Thanks for the quick response..
It does offer the ability to unroot... is that the only thing required?
I'm asking as we all know, when we uninstall stuff in Windows, traces of the program are still hanging around.
Android is familiar with Linux, not Windows.
If you unrot and uninstall all apps which require root nobidy can say if your phone was ever rooted.

Thanks pal... appreciate everything.
So all I have to do is unroot and basically install KC1 from Kies or ODIN to restore the Apps I've deleted and I'm good to go.
Again, thanks for all your help. I'm by no means anywhere close to realizing the true power of what this phone can do, its great to have knowledgeable people such as yourself to help people like me.
Thanks, but we all are here for helping others.
I am wondering the same thing. I'm new to this so I don't know how to check what was my stock version with bell mobility in canada.
I want to go back to the original factory default settings when I purchased the phone with bell.
Can you guys help me? thanks!

NEED HELP

Please help a noob out and show me the right way on how to root this phone, unlock bootloader and flash a recovery. There are a lot of info's all over the thread. I don't know which one to start in. Seems like there are different ways to root the ATRIX HD and I don't want to mess up.
I am also with T-Mobile so my phone is unlocked. I don't wanna have to do anything that will re-lock my phone. I'm currently running 4.1.1

Once your carrier unlocked, its permanent.
Use Motochopper to root...no one here feels like dealing with the Samba Sh!t again...
Then use this to unlock the bootloader
There are a few ways to install recovery -- See my HOW TO for the manual way, there's the one-click method, and using Rom Toolbox and installing the Photon Q CWM. All are easy and can be found in the first pages of our forums. The 2nd two are easier, but its really worth it to learn the manual way.
Thanks a lot man now Im having another problem. For some weird apparent reason I'm not getting mobile data only data I'm getting is from my gmail but instagram,chrome,Facebook is not getting any connection. Does it have anything to do with the APN?

Maybe. Are you on a custom rom, not using ATT 4.1.1? Need more info. List rom\fastboot and any mods you might be using.
Try connecting to WiFi and see if your apps can connect. After that, try wiping cache, dalvik cache and see if that helps. If after trying both of those and you still have no connection, its likely be a bad rom install.
You didn't flash MR or Bell 4.1.2 over AT&T 4.1.1 and not factory reset did you? Or restore AT&T Settings.apk app data with Titanium Backup from on a diferent rom? Doing both of those could cause errors like you're having.

Sorry for the late reply,but no this is stock AT&T and all the bloatware is installed. I figured it out. I had to change the APN to fast.T-Mobile.com and my internet is working now. As for putting in roms. I heard 4.2.2 will remove LTE is this true?
EDIT:My friend is giving me **** because I paid 250 for this unlocked ATRIX HD. For an extra 60 dollars more I could have bought the Nexus 4 and more development support he says plus its a Quad Core. At the time I had no idea about the dev support for this device and he was right. There are barely any support for this device. I love the PA roms and PacMan roms to be ported over to this device. But no roms from them at all. My battery life sucks because of all the bloatware,but so far I am liking this phone a lot. I'm going to be patient and wait.

[Q] Return to Stock, Apps Force Closing

Hi Guys
So I have an issue, I have a Galaxy S3 which I rooted with CF-Root, I am giving it to a friend newly trying it out from an iPhone.
I have flashed the stock firmware/PDA using the correct file from samfirmware, cleared data and cache etc.
Now the phone is randomly force closing stock apps constantly then they work 2 seconds later, any idea what could be causing this?
It's been awhile since I have had to do a logcat, can it be done on a non-root device if someone needs it to diagnose?
Thanks
Dale
