MyTouch 4g does not have a macro focus setting, but my phone appears to be set on what seems like one. I did not drop my phone, nor did it get wet. But the only weird thing that happened was my phone felt really hot when I was charging it the day I noticed it changed. Up close pictures are extremely clear, where any picture of an object farther than an inch away are blurry.
Any help here? Going to Disney World in a few weeks and I'd like to be able to take some pictures! Haha

I'm quite illiterate when it comes to the technical terms. What are you wondering about?
I have hardware information, software information and phone identity information.

Have you modified your phone at all? Have you rooted it (do you have the superuser app). Have you unlocked the bootloader (When you turn your phone off, then hold the volume down an power button, you get into bootloader; does it say S=Off or S=On at the top)?

I have not modified it. I had to root it once for an app, but that was forever ago. My phone did not do anything when I restarted it holding those 2 buttons.

Take out the battery. Then put it in. Then hold down the volume and power buttons without letting go until you get into bootloader.

Should I do a factory reset? I just saved my contacts and got all my pictures off of it. Don't think anything else on there is too important.

I honestly don't know what either of those mean. I factory reset my phone, just incase it was a glitch, but the camera is still blurry. When I tap the screen to focus it doesn't do anything but still makes the sound. I'm starting to think something may have become dislodged somehow.
Possibly or something broke. Maybe u just need to clean it dude!!! Haha jk

Believe it or not, I thought of that first. But figured that wasn't it when I realized pictures of things less than an inch away are beyond clear.

Do yourself a nice favour and root your phone. It will benefit you. Just look at one of the many guides we have here.
Rooting means taking access of your phone, and being able to flash new operating systems (android versions). Maybe it will help by flashing a new ROM. (ROM is the operating system.
We have lots of guides, just follow them

Hi
I have rooted my X10 now and I wonder if there is anything cool stuff I can do now. Changing the UX or something like that.
Do you guys know anything I can do now as my phone is rooted?

can u pls explain wat u mean by rooting?
Thanks for answar.
Rooting is to have the administrative control on your phone.
You can control everything yourself.
Is it possible to get free apps on the phone that cost in the Market?
Like jailbreak you have installous.

I've only got the Toast app, although it's a bit buggy, gives me jam when I want marmalade, I've emailed the developer but not heard back yet.

Ahh that's why, thanks for the heads up, I'll just stick with jam for the time being then, and that probably explains why the dog walker app only picks up the lead and sits at the door.

even with rooting, you can't up it to 2.2 anyway, because bootloader isn't cracked yet, correct?

So, I was wondering if anyone has yet tried pulling the GPS fix that Samsung sent out for the Captivate and trying it with the Fascinate. Shouldn't be too difficult, as the GPS hardware for the different Galaxy S variants SHOULD be almost 100% the same.
Might be worth a look, just a thought.

Yeah, never even thought about it. Definitely try it out. You know how to do that right? Shouldn't be too difficult.

Someone would need to take a look at the OTA for the Captivate to see what we need, but yeah, pushing the needed files would be the next step. Seems simple enough.

Getting Google's home and fixing a gps are two very different things, but I get where you are coming from.
Does the Captivate gps fix involve a tweak to their radio as well? If so, I can definitely understand why that wouldn't work for us.

_____ wont work on my _______
_______ wont update
__________ signal ________
____________ making no sense
I am bricked. No boot, no download mode!
Answer: 1. Odin to stock if you can get into DL mode if you can't, skip to step 2
2. Go to Sprint and say your issue or say you got an update and your phone wont turn on. Act stupid.
Big no-noes:
-Usually sprint store reps can't tell you rooted. So don't say "yeah, om rooted so..." or throw up an obvious sign like a theme or boot logo/animation.
This needs too be stikied and on front page good job bro
Don't you have to be in DL mode to use odin?

90% of Sprint reps have no idea what rooting ever means. It is the technicians you have to worry about.

hello,
this afternoon my phone keeps hanging while flashing it because I got a BSOD on my computer.
now i cant turn on my mobile, cant put it in recovery mode or even in download mode. the screen does nothing and keeps black without black-light.
is there a way to repair it by myself or have i send it to Samsung?
i'm Sorry for my bad english.
Search. There was a thread about this here! somewhere...
sry to say this but it's probably dead if you can't get the screen to light up. Just in case, look for threads about hard-bricking, there were some posible solutions
take it to samsung and say it wont boot after you tried to update via kies. they will fix it for you

Lol yeah. From the hard drive crashing
I've got myself out of many semi-brick situations but this time it's different. The phone is totally dead. No lights, a black screen with nothing displayed and the battery doesn't appear to be taking a charge. I'd given the phone to my son and now he's understandably upset that I've killed it for him. It happened while flashing with Odin.... It's as dead as a dodo and I assume its an ultimate brick. Is there any recovery when they're this bricked?

You can try Unbrickable mode My Android Solutions
I had this once on my i9000 a while ago. I thought i totally smashed it, but after having the battery/sim removed for several hours i was able to get back into download mode (Vol Down/Home/Power Button). I reflashed a GB Firmware (3 file) and it worked again.
I cannot post outside links yet but look on google and maybe build a Jig (Search for "Samsung Galaxy S JIG"
They are easy to build, maybe its worth a try...
good luck my friend
