Wizard G3,
ROM cooked by MFrazz, (WM6)
SPL/IPL DOWNgraded from 3.08 to 2.26 (not sure why or what this does?) GSM 2.47.11
I tried to install Launcher partially because I am a nerd who wants an iPhone screen for the shock value. I also installed the slider though I can't quite figure out where it has installed as it SEEMS to be in the folder (my folder) where Launcher is as opposed to in its own folder?? (which it should be if it is a stand-alone application?) In any event I don't use it as I cant get it (the most recent version) to stay on while Launcher is operating (and it doesn't seem to have been written with the Wizard landscape/portrait modes in mind) so I don't bother. Also the unit gets quite hot while launcher is on so I didn't want it to get any hotter!
In any event, looking in the log I see that Launcher.exe seems to have caused these curious access violations AND was giving the error message: CANNOT ALLOCATE VARIABLE LPARAM$, NOT ENOUGH MEMORY, (which I don't believe).
Is this some incompatibility with the ROM or something or does anyone know what is causing this please?
The only other problem with the unit is one which I have asked a few times (and a few people have reported) and no one knows the answer: The ear piece/speakerphone doesn't work on VoIP. I wouldn't imagine that is related to this error message.
Is there possibly a different ROM which would be more compatible with the software (and VoIP service) which doesn't incorporate things like the EDGE and Windows Today services which I don't use? I thought I was reasonably happy with this MFrazz one which seems OTHERWISE quite trouble free? Oh, and the battery heats up a bit and sometimes turns the screen white: On which eventuality you cant turn it on, - you have to plug in the USB cable again. (I turned the clock back to 195 from 221 to see if it did anything for this: If I cant get VoIP working just yet there doesn't seem to be any point in over-clocking it? And Mfrazz's ROM seems to work well at any clock speed! Except possibly for the codecs, if that is what it is )
I get nervous when I see access violations but this all occurred on July 7th.
Does it sound serious to anyone?
Hi
I have g1 with rc30 and jf (i dont remember the version). I installed on my phone netmeter and after 12h of sleeping my g1 downloaded 100mb by it self.
Is there any app that will show which program download so much stuff?
tuen off Auto-Sync in your settings Home>Menu>Settings>Data syncronization>tuen off different things to use less data
I don't thing it's Auto-Sync ... I haven't turned off my G1 for about 2 Weeks now and its alway online and my Netmeter just says something about 100MB ...
so, I think it must be one special program, but which one it is ... sry, don't now ...
I use app that os caled APNdroid
It cuts of GPRS UMTS 3G/2G conection when you press it and do not allow you G1 to go to internet via carrier of you SIM.
You press it agin and it goes back to normal.
It's good becase U can still have SYNC activate3d all the time.
Yeap, it will disconnect you, but when you go back online then it resume downloads .. so this just delay download a bit but not solve the issuse.
Do you have root access, and terminal? Then you can use the 'dh' and 'du' commando to view wich dirs/files are the biggest. maybe you can find a dir that grows larger every hour, then you have to find out wich program uses that dir (or maybe it's just the dirname ).
Hope you find it!

100mb in just 12 hours? Wow!
Let's see... assuming it was an exact 100mb (which I'm sure it's not but just for fun)
8533kb /hr
142kb /min
2.37kb /sec
So I guess the question is... is it unreasonable for your G1 to download about 2.5kb a second? This phone has been very problamatic for users going over seas because they would return home to find a several hundred dollar bill in the mail for roaming data fees Example. I can see how. I must say that I'm a bit curious myself now. I think I'll install the program on my phone to see what I get.
I admit that it does sound like a lot but when you break it down you can't really be too surprised. Especially when you consider that even while your phone is sleeping you could be receiving pings which is 32 bytes each. I'm not sure how many times the G1 sends a ping but I suppose it could add up during 12 hours. Also, it doesn't help if you have IM and other apps in the background. Some of which you don't (or may not) even realize. Latitude is not something that you use very often but if you set it up then it sends updates to Google of your location. If you receive an e-mail in the 12 hours of inactivity. The market is frequently checking for updates to some of the apps that you have stored. Then just a few apps that I personally have installed but not running actively are the JF Updater beta, Locale, Loopt, a RSS app, weatherbug, an android tracking app, IM, caller id app, Earthquake!, just to name a few. Would it be unreasonable for my phone to use 2.5kb a second?
I'll install it myself and let you know tomorrow morning. I'm not in a 3G area right now but I'm curious to see how much I use myself. If it's less then you then I think you might have a problem because I'm a heavy user.
UPDATE
So in just 4 hours with my phone doing absolutely nothing and with Netmeter installed my phone has downloaded exactly 200kb. However this is on an Edge network.
I'm starting to think that you may have a problem. Because obviously at this rate I would have only downloaded 600kb during 12 hours which is no where near what you have experienced. I am not running anything at all in the background except the normal RC33 apps, Craigslist, Where's My Android, Netmeeter, Quick Calender, Missed Call, Weatherbug (all of this came from Task Manager). On Netmeeter it reads that locale is also running but only contributes to .2% of network traffic. 32.8% is from "system_server" and 16.5% is from com.google.android.netmeter.
Bottom line... something is not right with your phone. Perhaps it is downloading an update of some kind?
its end of the day and i have 200 downloaded.
the problem is only with 3g network. when my wifi is turned on it doesnt downloading so much stuff.
I deleted all apps that i installed only netmeter is on the phone now.
we will see
apndroid works changing the apn settings of the phone making it impossible to the phone to establish any new conection through 3g/2g until you let it. So you will be ok with it.
xsoft = noob!
I just had the same problem in the last two days, with RC8-JF. Downloaded 300MB for no apparent reason.
I found out that gapps is constantly downloading a 20MB update from google. It tried to apply it after downloading, fails due to missing otrcerts (because JF has removed it to prevent the update), and retries the whole download.
I suggest you run tcpdump on the phone and see if that's the case with your phone too. If yes, updating to the latest JF version should stop it. Otherwise it's hard to block these downloads. The gapps process does a lot of other things with google's servers so you can't just filter it through iptables.
I had the samme problem, my phone would not stop downloading, every couble of hours it would download about 20mb.
The solution was to update to the new JF 1.43 RC9, I used JF 1.41 RC8 before.
I updated my g1 to rc33 and all is ok
Happy owner of a Hero for 2 weeks now, but I have a problem with HTC Sync 2.0.4:
When the Hero is not connected to my notebook (XP SP3), there is some activity on the notebook every 4 seconds, shown as a short flash of an hourglass next to my mouse pointer.
It took me a couple of hours to pinpoint this back to HTC Sync. Apparently, one of the processes needed for HTC Sync, HTCVBTServer.exe, keeps very active all the time even when the Hero is disconnected. Every 4 seconds, it spawns and kills a new instance of an other process called FsynSrvStarter.exe.
Leading to the very annoying flashing hourglass every 4 seconds.
I found some more information on this:
http://www.htcforums.com/hero-touch-f40/htc-sync-maxes-out-memory-t2791.html
The only way of stopping the flashing hourglass is killing the process HTCVBTServer.exe in Windows Task Manager.. Of course, HTC Sync doesn't work anymore after that, even after restarting HTCVBTServer.exe.
My request:
I want to install the previous version of HTC Sync (I think it was called 2.0.2) that was on the SD card, to see if that version has the same problem. Stupidly enough, I formatted my SD card and lost the program file. I've looked around everywhere on the internet (including htc.com), without success.
Is anybody willing to help me and send the install file of HTC Sync 2.0.2 to me or provide me with a download link?
I appreciate your help!
Marc
I can't help you with the older version as I deleted it from the SD card too.
I wish they'd make HTC sync start when you plugged the Hero in, and then have it shut down (and all related processes) when you unplugged it. Surely it can't be that hard.
I don't like loads of processes running unnecessarily.
Kadison, I totally agree.
Is nobody else having the problem I described?
And nobody who has version 2.0.2 for me?
I have monitored the process HTCVBTServer.exe with Process Explorer: with the Hero disconnected from the pc, it creates two additional handles every 4 seconds (explaining the flashing hourglass). 20.000 handles per 24 hrs, if I'd leave my pc on for a couple of days XP will certainly crash.
Serious bug! And annoying hourglass every 4 seconds..
I have found a workaround by suspending HTCVBTServer when my Hero is disconnected and resuming it before I sync, but would appreciate to get version 2.0.2 from somebody and see if that works better.
BTW I contacted HTC via email: 'we do not have older version, try to get from somebody else. RE: problem described: please reinstall'. ??!!
Cheers,
Marc

If you can wait a while, I'll have a look at my old SD card (the one that came with the phone) and see if 2.0.2 is still on it.
Ok - I looked, what I have seems to have 2 version names i.e. 12.0.0.58851 AND 2.0.2 - would that be right?
Hi Vonne,
2.0.2 is the one I'm looking for.
As the file will be around 40MB in size, can you please upload it to Rapidshare and PM the file ID that you get from Rapidshare to me?
Uploading will take quite some time I'm afraid, I hope this isn't too much of a problem for you.
Thanks for helping me out!
Cheers Marc
Well, in case somebody else has the same unwanted behaviour of HTC Sync 2.0.4:
Vonne was so kind to send a copy of her 2.0.2 version to me (thanks Vonne!), which I installed after uninstalling 2.0.4.
Result: 2.0.2 has the same problem as 2.0.4!
The culprit process HCTVBTServer.exe still leaks handles (2 additional handles every 4 seconds) when the Hero is disconnected from the pc.
As a workaround I now suspend and resume HCTVBTServer manually (well, actually via 2 tiny batch programs on my desktop), to get rid of the blinking hourglass icon and several thousands of leaked memory handles.
Cheers, Marc
Pity it didn't work! I'm curious though to know if it's HTC Sync that's causing the annoying hourglass? I use a netbook and it seems to have a million background processes that cause a spinning hourglass
I too have hourglasses flashing now and then due to background processes doing stuff, but never one at a regular interval like this (every 4 seconds).
Googled around a bit and found the link mentioned in my startpost. One of the guys in that link had discovered that one of the four HTC Sync processes (HTCVBTServer) is leaking handles when the phone is disconnected. Killing this process via the Windows Task Manager stopped my flashing hourglass, so: gotcha!
Marc
haha, well, there I was going along blithely ignoring flashing hourglasses all over the place.....turns out I do have one that flashes ever 4 seconds...just checked! Don't know if I have the energy to be turning stuff on and off though.
Perhaps its just me getting old, I dunno...
But I was so used to the windows mobile world, that I just can't seem to get used to this Android and Galaxy S device, here is why, maybe I am doing it all wrong.
1) I can't seem to get my emails to come through instantly, even when I run refresh, even though they have come through on my Laptops outlook it sometimes take over an hour or so later to appear on my device, on my old WM phone I would simply click send and receive and the mail would appear.
2) When I plug in the USB, I get all these options, so I have been trying mass storage, sometimes my USB connects sometimes it takes forever, even though its says usb connected, I then have to pull down the menu thing and hit USB connected and then Mount, then it say s turn off USB and I then get some explorer windows pop up on my laptop...for the life of me this confuses me, I used to simply plug in the USB and it would be connected.
3) Even though I have had these applications running fine, I seem to be getting this big pop up SORRY, The application has stopped unexpectedly, Force close, please try again, what the hell have I done.
4) Now I used to test out and update custom roms on my old Touch HD and all you had to do was run a file on your PC and it would basically flash the device with a new ROM...do a backup restore and your away, for the life of me I haven't got a clue what all these custom things are, you have firmwares, lags, Kernals, samsets, froyos, FJ, FP's...god its confusing.
Perhaps I am just not ready for Android yet, I used to love customising my old Windows mobile device, but I simply can't seem to do it with this one...HELP
Coming from an Touch HD too
Hi, we are in a similar situation. I switched to Galaxy S from a Touch HD last week.
Are you using Exchange e-mail? I receive e-mail fine from a POP account and hotmail. The integrated e-mail app is slow, but there are other clients on the market.
There are 4 USB modes. You first need to install the drivers that come with the Kies software. I've configured the phone so it asks me what mode to use each time. I've tried Kies mode, mass storage mode and Internet Share mode successfully.
I do not see force close pop-ups on mine. It depends on what apps you run, of course. Most apps on the market should run fine on Android 2.1. Also, I'm running ROM JM5 now (erased the one from my carrier loaded with logos and demo apps).
The issue of the lag, I don't know where they see it, mine is ****ing fast. At least for someone coming from Windows Mobile XDD. The GPS works better with this last ROM too, 30 seconds to first fix, 10 metes accurancy while on a bus, 5 meters walking.
Flashing is the same as in the Touch HD world. The flasher program is called Odin now. You need a PIT file, and the firmware you want to load. The firmware has 3 parts. PDA, Phone and CSC.
Do it this way:
- Open Odin, select "repartition", select the PDA, Phone and SCS files
- Power off the phone. Remove SIM and microSD card.
- Press vol down + Home + Power on. This will enter download mode
- Connect the phone to the computer now. It will install new drivers
- Press start on Odin. Flashing takes 5 minutes
There are leaked and cooked ROMS. The lastest Android 2.1 ROM is I9000XWJM5. By default it will boot in russian, go to settings, language and change it
There are some Android 2.2 ROMs now, but they are not worth the trouble, too unfinished... we are waiting for an official 2.2 ROM. (and then will erase everything on the phone and start over with a clean, good, official Froyo ROM).
Thanks for your advise, what made you move from a HD to the Galaxy then ?
Do you prefer Android ?
I have been searching for the JM5 firmware and I am downloading it now, but cant find this pit file, have managed to find Odin.
What is Samset ?
I am on JF1 at the moment is it worth moving to JM5 ?

Yes JM5 sort of fixes GPS and it's overall faster etc.
Odin, PIT file and ROMs can be found on the site linked on previous post.
I have been testing Android on the Touch HD for 3 months. Of course it's a lot slower and the battery is gone pretty fast. This is a proper Android phone, more CPU, more RAM, better drivers... Moves videos and 3D games very well.
I do not like Apple restrictive policies and censorship, so iphone is ruled out. Motorola Droids, HTC EVO and other recent models are not on sale on this country, so I settled for this heavily carrier-subsidized (80% savings) phone.
I like the bright, capacitive, multitouch screen the most. It's a nice change from the one on the Touch HD. The swipe keyboard works fine too. And the Hummingbird CPU moves pictures, videos and games like a Playstation. The camera has good color and detail, but more noise that the one on the Touch HD. The EXIF data says ISO 50, but they look like ISO800 on my digital camera. HD video recording is fine.
Hi All,
My Samsung S8 suffers for an unusual condition: it has no internet
1. It connects to my home Wi-Fi, both 2G and 5G, but I see "Internet may not be available" message and that's actually true.
2. When Wi-Fi is turned off, 4G+ icon is showing and I have reception (as I used to have) but still does not connect to Internet.
3. I am sure my Wi-Fi is working fine as my work phone and lots of other devices at home are working as expected.
4. GSM signal allows me to make phone calls and send text messages.
5. I created a tethering network on my work phone but S8 still cannot connect.
6. Factory reset completed, hasn't helped.
S8 UK version, Samsung's original ROM (no modification or whatsoever). The mobile is in "perfect" condition, 4 years old, never got wet. Internet stopped working half way through a day, it was just laying on my desk.
Any ideas what went down, how to fix it? Thanks.
Sometimes, setting the wrong date might the problem, but you shouldn't be facing a problem with cellular and WiFi altogether.
Does your phone feel like it is draining more battery than usual? Does it get warm?
It may look like a system update went wrong, perhaps you should try flashing the latest official update using Odin.
Of course there are a lot of stuff you can try, but they usually take some time, and it seems like you don't like wasting time.

Data and time is fine. Phones does not feel like draining or warm, on standby it works for a few days.
I looked into Odin but I am not sure where I can get the firmware. I tried this:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s8/firmware/SM-G950F/BTU/download/G950FXXSBDUA3/1243160/
but download speed is 15 kB/Sec and it says hours to download it. Do you know where to get it faster?
I tried to use Odin to install twrp and then another rom, but I keep getting failed. No idea why ;/
Thank you for your help.

I apologize for replying late.
Androidfilehost is the best way to find files specific to such needs, all you have to do is to navigate to the website and use the search, a good keyword will give the best results:
Searching for dreamlte will get you AOSP ROMs, Kernels, Mods, etc ... for the normal Galaxy S8. But they are mostly old, for developers these days does not use it frequently.
Searching for G950F results a lot of files, Stock-based mostly, and they are updated frequently.
Here's G950FXXSBDUA3 Firmware.
Download speed on AFH depends on your network speed, or at least that's what's going on with me.
