Can someone try this - Galaxy S I9000 General

Using your SGS go to www.egg.com/activation don't worry nothing untoward just try to fill in the date of birth boxes on the form nothing else. I am completely unable to fill the month and year fields. Is this a bug in the browser? or is it just my phone?

Sounds & Notifications freeze

Ok, I'm starting to think I'm crazy, because after extensive googling, and searching in this and several other forums, I haven't found anyone else with the problem I'm having. Here's the deal: every time I try to edit any settings related to notifications, my phone freezes.
I mainly see this when I try to go to the "Sounds & Notifications" panel, and try to access the "Notifications" tab, but it also happens if I try to change an individual's ringtone in my contacts, or other times.
A little background if it helps: I'm running a Cingular 8525 with the latest ROM, and the only thing I could think that might be causing any problems is FlexMail. I've got the latest beta release, and I remember reading that it does modify the tmail.exe file for some reason or other related to MAPI handling. But, I didn't have this problem when I first got FlexMail, just within the past week or so.
Has anyone else seen anything like this, or know what the problem might be?
Yes, I've searched the forum, searched everything, done any RTFM-related stuff I could think of, and tried the obvious soft resets to no avail. So please don't flame me as an idiot. I'm just a recent convert from years on a Palm OS that's trying to figure this thing out.
Well, it probably wont help you at all but FlexMail left my device nearly unusable: Freezes; standard today plugin for SMS/eMail did not work anymore; lost all my eMails (Inbox files on SD-card deleted); lost my FlexMail eMail configuration twice a week.. Then: No refund by the author. No excuses. No help. He just wanted my log files all the time. So have fun beta testing...
Still, your freeze could have another reason: check your /Windows/Rings/ directory: Any corrupted files? Open them up one by one (with the Media player) and make sure they work. Then search all your device for .wma files and make sure they are not corrupted. Would not know of any other reason right now ...
I have the solution to your problem as I was facing the same thing and no one could help me. You will notice the same not only with notifications but also in Phone, if you select options or video call options.
The problem resides in notes synchronization. I hard reset my device several times and synchronized items one by one until I discovered that when some default sounds that reside in teh documents folder (dogbark, ding, Alouette) cause this problem. Delete them and sync without them. The problem will go away.
found one..

Well, sounds a little odd but I will try Thanks

HTC Home Weather Not Updating

Just got my Dash 3G, and I have found my first issue. The builtin HTC Home Weather app isn't updating. I have it checked to automatically update, but it doesn't. I have also tried doing a manual refresh, and still no luck. The only time it does seem to update is if I change my Homescreen, and it reloads. Anyone one having a similar experience? Any solutions?
thats a common issue with T-Mobile for years.
theres a few threads already constructed with possible solutions dating back to 2007.
just go thru the search function, see what comes up, theres way too many for me to post.
Later!
I had searched, but most of the posts were for other phones/OS's (6.0 instead of 6.1). Plus, I am not sure if the HTC Home Weather has changed since these other fixes were posted. I don't want to be mashing old fixes into my new phone unless I can be assured it will work. Probably means I will have to wait for someone else to be the guinea pig. Can anyone point to a fix they have confirmed to work?
Just restart phone and notice that it reloads. Myfaves automatically reloads no matter what homescreen you choose.. Have vista need to stop the sync
The problem is with connecting to the network, Mine refused to update until I changed my connection to always on, now it works perfectly. All you need to do is edit the reg:
This wont drain your battery as this is only a GSM network state flag and nothing is transferred, all it does is eliminate the connection wait time.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\
{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\
Connections\*your connection name*\AlwaysOn = 1
There will be two *your connection name* to look for, one is Data the other Internet
Bupahs,
Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion, but still no luck. I am now having issues trying to get the initial update. (Had to do a hard reset). I've been looking at the registry entries at:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\SlidingPanel\HTCWeather
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Chome\HTCWeather
but I don't know what to edit to try, and fix the issue. I've changed the State and Status values at HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather. These seem to control which message the app displays such as "Add City", or "Unable to download..", etc. I've noticed the WeatherApp.exe process isn't running in the background by default, and that the value of the key HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings\UpdateCmd\ seems to be a date followed by a time. (2009,7,19,12,21,43) Any suggestions on what else to look at? Do apps referenced in the Registry default to the Windows directory? I noticed CommandLaunch references WeatherApp.exe, but I get no action when I hit refresh. Just wonder if that had anything to do with it.
Do others have this working? Sorry for the rambling post. Useful input or suggestions are welcomed.
mine wont update either tried 3 different networks.

[Q] Vodafone Magic Google Settings Problems

Hi guys,
Been searching around but can't find answers, please if you know this question has been asked, just point me in the right direction.
I have a Vodafone Magic (yeah, yeah, I know, stupid right? Fancy wanting an android phone that the supplier will never upgrade past 1.6) But I didn't have that knowledge at the time. While I'm not happy with the phone generally, I have a more specific question.
I have always been happy enough using the stock broswer, although I have tried others too. But Just yesterday a problem turned up, that even using alternate browsers does not help with. When I go onto google site, and into preferences (settings) for google, which goes basically to the same page regardless of browser, I have always been able to save my prefernces, Ie safe search (other than moderate), save location, save searches etc. But yesterday, and since, every time I change a setting, save and then go back into settings, nothing I changed has altered.
Basically rambling, but say I change safe search to strict, press save, goes back to google page, go back into settings, and sure enough safe search is back to moderate.
This used to happen only when I cleared cache.
What the hell have I done to the phone to cause this, it's really quite irritating.
I have turned phone off and back on. I haven't done a factory reset yet, as hoping there is a solution that doesn't invole reinstalling all apps etc. I haven't done a soft reset, because I don't know if one exists.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
"have a Vodafone Magic is stupid right?" I don't think so haha

[Q] Anyone Else Experience This?

last night i was fiddling with my phone and it started to hang at the white evo screen. short story, my only fix was to wipe EVERYTHING. nandroids, titanium, miui backup, you name it.
anyway, i go to the online market to get all my applications again. i go to "My Library", but it wont show any apps past letter 'P'. every page past 'P' is blank. it even shows the dots at the bottom that indicate the page im on ISNT the final page. if i search the market for an app i know i had that is alphabetically past 'P', it shows that i had previously installed it.
any ideas? i found one other person on google with the same problem, said he emailed google, they said they'd check into it. that was dec 2010
EDIT: also, has anyone else seen the HILARIOUSLY outrageous comments on some of the apps? they tend to be on apps that are actually useless, but the dev is gettin TONS od d/l's and 5* ratings because of this. thought it was funny enough to share, sorta related since both have to do with market
83 views and no one else has this problem with the market? bump
Have you tried the new market?
Ya its awesome. But my question has to do with the website market.android.com
It wasn't specifically the letter "p" where it stopped, but I am not able to view all of my apps on the online market as well. I can keep clicking the 'next' arrow for the first ten pages or so, then after that each page is blank, even though it shows that there are at least six more pages.
I know it's too late now, but you might consider adding a dropbox account to your titanium backup in the future. Could save a few hours of frustration some day.

Carmode problem- need help please!!

STABILITY ISSUES & CAR MODE FAULT --HELP PLEASE!!
Guys I need some help please.
The phone is great but over the past 2 months I have noticed occasional stability issues like programs suddenly opening up when you turn on screen that haven't been selected etc.etc
There is a list of 9 common faults published including some where, for eg OK google was working fine but suddenly doesnt etc.
This week in CAR MODE I noticed this unexpected error that restarting, clearing app cache, clearing app data etc will NOT fix.
Everything was working OK and I changed nothing that could have caused this.
when selecting Nav from carmode home screen it asks you "where do u want to go?", as per normal.
When I open the search text box to enter the address where I want to go, instead of verbally telling it, it accepts text characters for about 3-4 sec then suddenly just goes straight back to the carmode home screen before you finish typing the info and then hitting search!! Every time.
This is extremely annoying as it is the only accurate way to give it an address as it often miss hears the verbal names.
I cannot find anywhere a way of downloading and reinstalling carmode version 1.2.44.16607 so it can reload whatever blasted line of code is suddenly corrupted and causing the problem. if it was a separate app I could just uninstall and reinstall it but it is part of the OS and even in Galaxy apps I cannot find the specific Samsung app.
I DO NOT want to do a factory reset and wipe my phone!!, that is a BS solution just as it is on a PC for trying to fix a minor windows error.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE???
