Greetings,
I have SGS I9000 and it was fine but the Screen broken and there is no data on it and the phone still working i still can hear the ring when someone calling me or SMS me and when i connect it to pc I'm hearing the sound from my pc but i can't make anything cos i'm activating the usb debugging
and activating the developer options i'm on SlimBean 4.2.2 and now i need to backup my data and contacts i need help on this plz .
have you enabled the backup of yours contacts on your gmail?
Hopefully you had set the default account for your contacts/address book to be your Google account. This is not always set as a default (especially on stock ROMs) and you tend to have to do it manually (otherwise it just saves them on the actual phone, so if your phone is lost then so are your contacts). This would mean that your address book is always synced with the http://contacts.google.com linked to the Google account that your phone was registered under. Another thing you have to remember is to have the Sync switched on as otherwise it won't ever sync anything to the cloud.
As for the data on the phone..I'm not sure what you can do without a screen as to even connect USB > PC you generally need to select the USB transfer notification from the notification bar then click the activate USB button (can't remember the exact name) and then your phone should connect to all your phones drives. I think maybe that you can access the internal SD card without doing this and of course, the external one should not be a problem as you can just take it out from your phone and plug it into a PC.
As a last resort, you can probably pick up a replacement screen and digitiser from eBay and repair the phone yourself. YouTube should have many videos telling you how to do this step by step.
LCD
Hi, in AliExpress you find at 35$ the replacement LCD included the frame and delivery costs, but you have to bookmark them in your wish list as they fluctuate on price.
Samsung screen is still very good, but for everything else you find for little more new better phone.
If you know someone near you who has the same phone you may ask if they let you insert your motherboard in their screen just to retrieve your data, so you will not spend money at all.
If you live in a big city you may look for a shattered LCD that still work for very little money in a repair phone shop that usually have when installing new one. With a screen protector you will be able to use it without losing parts of glass neither cutting your finger.
Have a look around before spending money, I will do the same and report you if I find something.

To temporary change the motherboard you find all instructions in YouTube.

Anyway be patient and buy for any phone you own a full case, I founded for this gt i9000 the nice one that is common in new models that cover the screen and replace the back battery door being very slim.
Hey there. Had a strange problem, happened 2 times till now. WiFi was completely gone, went to the settings/wifi and wifi was still on, but the list of AP's/Networks was completely empty. Anyone had that happen ?
greets,
nEUTRon
No one, really ?
I've had the saved Wi-Fi connections be forgotten after a reboot/shutdown. Happened this morning actually.
I have tons of wifi problems, but not this one. My wifi takes a long time to come on after being turned off, often more than a minute, and the wifi setting pages hangs.

This can happen if you have multiple devices. The wifi password file acquires multiple entries and the phone fails to pick one. Longstanding bug Google is ignoring. If you have a rooted device you can read the wifi supplicant file and see the multiple entries to confirm this is what's happening to you.
This is happening to me more and more on my Nexus 6. I'm rooted and stock. Haven't found a solution yet.
My WiFi situation is a disaster with nexus 6 too. No problems at al
l with nexus 5 and nexus 7 (2012)
There are similar questions to this but for other devices but I need to make sure I can do this on my Samsung Note 4 from T-mobile.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
^^^ On that link it gives me the tools to connect to my Note 4, but I believe that I do not have adb enabled on my device, and/or I don't have 'USB debugging" checked marked.
Another member mentioned that I would need help from a developer to sideload a kernal onto my device, via editing the "default.prop"
At the moment I will be ordering a new phone through my insurance but due to some important matters I need help accessing my phone ASAP.
I keep getting 'Rejected" from [email protected] Version 1.1
I have attached images to show what I am seeing and also show the latest tmo firmware. I am rooted, and I am running TWRP 2.8.1.1 or later I believe.
PLEASE, I need help side loading a kernel or something so I can make this work and get into my phone.
P.S. My phone still works, because with my beats headphones I can still answer calls and play music with the headphone cable controls. my alarm still goes off and notification sounds, so to my knowledge only the screen is dead.
Have you tried android screencast or chromecast?

my screen is busted, it wont turn on at all. The phone turns on but i can control anything with the screen because it wont turn on. I need to side load a kernel with ADB enabled
Hi, this is my first time making a thread and I'm not sure if this fits into the right category, anyways I've had to a factory rest since I forgot my pattern password on my Note 9 (because I'm an idiot) and now after the hard reset I am now stuck on "Checking for Updates" after the rebooting the phone and there is no skip button and I have tried doing another hard reset to still being stuck on the same page. I've let this "Checking for updates" run for about 2 hours to only get a message saying "Taking to long? Try going back and connecting to a different network" and I'm really out of options, any help would be appciated.
Thanks.
Do you have Internet access and sufficient bandwidth where you connected to?

I think you can log on to computer and your Samsung account and use an option within findmyphone to fix this.

reminds me of my LG v20 which had similar problem (910K B50) Stuck on firmware upgrade and waiting for connection. Nothing could be done for the LG, hopefully yours can be fixed. It either a virus or interrupted firmware update don't know what else could've done it

Well I'm currently overseas over at China with very slow internet also not sure about the Mbps since its to slow to run that and I have to use Vpn since China blocks out YouTube, Google etc. so I'm not sure if that's that cause.
*edit* I've managed to run an internet Speed test with an average Mbps download of 0.30 Mbps and upload of 2 Mbps, not sure if that's any useful but hopefully it is

nope nothing could be done. no safe mode, no download mode, nothing. going back to the same screen. I even gave the phone to 2 different places to try to fix it and even they couldn't do it, saying there is no file system no structure or anything. so yeah dead weight

I don't think Samsung would drop there standards, could a low internet connection also cause this continuous thing to never end?

I have an identical issue, on my note 8, and i am also in China. wondering if there was any solution found?
I suspect the problem might be because china blocks Google services and the phone is trying to connect to google.
Please if a solution was found, do share.
I assume you've all tried setting up without a sim and wifi disconnected? Works fine for me, it just skips the update checking on initial setup as there's no connection.

I've had the exact same problem on my galaxy s8 and had excellent wifi connection when I tried to get it going after the reset (but still tried to do it with two other connections). I removed the simcard, disconnected the wifi and it just skipped that step (looking for updates). Now the phone is working good!
(still scared that the virus hatched on once again since I didn't wipe my SDcard and put it in again (stupid). But I'm always a bit paranoid and I'm not sure it works that way)
Fixed the problem anyways. Just remove simcard and disconnect wifi.

Try setting up a wifi router with a VPN that allows you to connect to Google services. Then connect to wifi (ran through vpn) and you should be good.

I was thinking the same thing, just need to get a router with VPN, thx for the advice.
hi, my note has done the same thing, I did a factory reset... need to be able to stop the checking for updates somehow?
or find someone with a modem with a VPN instilled on it. any ideas
?
This is how to fix the problem if overseas
number one If you have hard reset your phone, and then realised I need that VPN to go online like myself in China.
turn off the WIFI on your phone, remove your sim card turn off the phone. turn your phone back on and you can set up the phone again, turn on the phones wifi and re-back up your phone from your Samsung account.
the reason why you should use Google and Samsung to back up all your things is for this reason. you don't need a VPN for Samsung.
this should work on all phones.
mine phone is a Samsung note 9 with android 9 operation system, 8gb -512gb
thanks:good:
Hi helpful people of xda,
Long time lurker but having come from a Samsung where everything 'worked' I'm feeling a bit frustrated with my new p20 pro (as nice as the device is).
Issue is simple. When tethering via hotspot, data on my phone does not work so WhatsApp and slack / email aren't pulled through. When I turn hotspot off, everything comes through.
Having searched for others having this issue one suggestion was to delete apn details, however the hotspot apn doesn't show up.
Any ideas? Help much appreciated
With things like this it would be handy to state your region and which firmware/update you have installed.

Oke, i just tested my hotspot and everything seems to work fine. I connected my tablet and did a youtube stream while i used the phone to send whatsapp etc and all flawless. im on CLT-L29 with 8.1.0.159 C432
