This is like deja vu. :( When I started using my i9000 5 or 6 years ago I had problems along with many others connecting to my PC. There is a long thread here detailing all of the problems encountered. Fast forward to a couple of days ago when I decided to try Omni 5.1 and Omni 6.0 ROMS on my...

If you made it easier to search THIS forum for the title above, I would use the search engine. But it is too difficult now. Sorry... I have Galaxy S ( i9000) with Slimkat4.4.2 KVT49L 4079 There are many improvements I like with it, particularly with the camera software. BUT, it comes at a...

Hi Folks I could use some real expert help here. :( Here's the situation: Phone will turn on, as in screen comes on. Splash of Galaxy S and freezes there. I can get in to ROM CW screen. But it can't read my SD card!!! So I can't load any of the ROMS on the SD card. Swapping the SD card...

Can it be done? If so, how does one do it on the i9000? TIA

I don't know if my phone is starting to suffer old age, or something else. The battery still holds a charge. A few times I have had my phone plugged into my desktop's USB port charging for quite a number of hours and when I go to turn it on it doesn't respond. The screen won't turn on, it...

I know there is a camera on the front and back and you can take photos with each camera. Can you take videos with each camera? I'm interested in taking videos with the front-facing camera. Can it be done? Thanks!

I would like to update my CWM Recovery from 3.0.0.5 to 3.2. I have this .zip file: recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-galaxys4g.zip Can someone please tell me how to get from point A to point B? That is, update my Recovery from 3.0.0.5 to 3.2 using the .zip file I have? I have heard of a file called...

Is there any program available for the Galaxy S that will do a real backup? Basically a re-imaging of all the memory/sd cards on the phone. Because when I restore my Phone Contacts (hundreds of them) all of my Phone Groups are lost! Thanks!

I recently rooted my Galaxy S I9000 for the first time and installed CM 10.2.2. Then I tried CM7. Neither ROM's liked me, nor I them. I'd like to go back to Gingerbread stock (2.3X). Is it possible to boot into ROM and upload a .zip Gingerbread from SD card, or must I go the ODIN route? If...

OK, you have your current contacts .vcf file with tons of contacts (and a backup of it). You wipe this file completely due to complications on a trip. You create a second contacts .vcf file and pile up a ton of contacts in it. Now you would like to do the following: merge the two and also not...

Tragedy struck unexpectedly a few days ago. My phone locked up and the only way to get it back to work was to format the the phone and start from scratch. I had my contacts backed up from a few months ago. When I tried to restore them, I believe they were read from a 00001.vcf file. Is...

There are many basic tasks that haven't been covered on this forum. How do you Save your phone History (calls, messages etc.)? More specifically, how do you save the History to disk so that you can recall it in the future? That is, you save it to disk, then delete it so there is no more phone...

This is specifically for the SGS. I realize everyone's use of their phone is different, but what would be the average lifetime of an SGS battery? Are we talking one, two, three years? My battery now when charged, drops from a showing to 100% to 97% when I simply disconnect it from the USB...

When I send SMS messages, there is a time stamp attached to the message and it is correct. When I receive SMS messages (only when I turn on my phone which is normally off) the SMS time stamp is the time that I turn on my phone, not the time the message was sent. Is there software that I can...

It's 2012. Has Google/Android finally added sub-groups to contacts? Let's say someone has dozens and dozens of contacts in one group and wishes to further divide them into smaller sub-groups. What do you suggest they do? TIA

By now I'm sure there are dozens of utilities out there that will convert Samsung's memo files (.vnt) to text files (.txt). Can someone here please point me to just one? :) TIA

Recently installed Gingerbread. I have recorded a bunch of videos using the phone's camera but they won't play back. The circle spins and that's it. If I hit the play button, it turns to pause. The videos can be played on my computer but not the phone. Any ideas? TIA

I'm getting a ton of force close error messages under Gingerbread 2.3.3. I haven't done a hard reset yet and wonder if it would cure the problem? What would I lose exactly by doing a hard reset? Would you recommend it? TIA

I just upgraded to Gingerbread from 2.2. Just a couple of hours ago. So far, not bad. One problem keeps popping up and I don't know the solution yet. I get the following pop-up message all the time: 'Sorry! The application Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped...

I thought about the Apps section, but I'm looking for something specific to the SGS. I know there are a ton of apps that allow you to add a home widget to 'power off' your SGS (turn off the screen). Are there any apps that completely turn off the SGS, as if you pressed the power button on the...

I did a search on this and was surprised that nothing came up. It seems that auto.exe is a virus and it has infected my SGS. It places itself in the Recycler bin of my SD card. Has anyone else here had experience with this virus? Any tips on how to get rid of it permanently, as it keeps...

Since I haven't rooted my phone yet I can't check where Skype is hiding. It certainly isn't located in the apps folder where all the rest of my installed apps are. Can someone here who has rooted their phone please tell me which folder Skype hides itself (the .apk file and any other associated...

With Eclair there was a setting under Settings as follows: Settings/wireless and networks/mobile networks/Use only 2G networks This allowed you to manually change your phone to the 2G network setting for calls. With FroYo 2.2 this setting seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur. My...

I may very soon be going down the dark and murky 'root road' due to some issues with my Froyo 2.2 version. (Plus I need to backup my system, and the only way appears to be with the use of a root app). Right now when I try the "enter download mode or recovery mode using the buttons combo" I...
