[Q] Issues after upgrading to I9082LUBUBMK1 - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello.
After upgrading to the baseband I9082LUBUBMK1:
1) Favorites contacts tab is missing.
2) Stock browser without history and bookmarks.
This issues are a "feature" of the new version or it is a bug?
Greetings from Paraguay.

just downgrade back via odin. BUT why not you try Pyramid/GENNXT rom if you need dual sim, its more feature filled. If you dont use dual sim, use one of the kitkat rom available

Actually I want to know if there is another way besides downgrading because there are improvements like:
1) Longer battery life.
2) Better keyboard.
3) now I can lock high speed network, before y just could lock to 2G speed.
Maybe someone knows some command that can be written in the address bar or some hidden setting to turn favorites contacts on.
It also can be that there is another way to achieve the same goal.
I also noticed that merge contacts is also missing but you can merge contacts selecting from dropdown list while modifying the contact's name.

Try flashing ? :/

Solved

I realized later that the phone was set to simple desktop automatically in the upgrade, that was the reason the favorites tab was missing.
In the browser now you have to press the left or right borders to have access to the commands.
Thanks anyway.

The reason nothing appears right away is because the phone canvas has a known ring delay bug. The only way to get rid of the delay is to use the stock WM dialer or Yota Contacts. I have tried cooking in Yota Contacts but then the "in call" volume is lost.
EDIT: You can install: Tachi_Phone_Canvas_Knoop_v2d
This will remove the ring delay and give you the most current Phone Canvas dialer.

The Tachi dialer still doesn't play nice with the WM6.5 lock screen.
You need to use another locking solution that will. Personally I just avoid using the 6.5 lock all together. That is until we have a working 6.5 dialer from HTC or what not.

Are you talking about the Answer/Ignore Buttons? That is Smart Lock which can be disabled in Settings/System. Uncheck New WM6.5 Lock. But, that screen only shows when the device is locked.

[Q] Motorola Defy and Facebok sync

I ve been looking for a while with no success on the forum.
A friend just got the Defy but cannot get facebook to sync his contacts.
Phone is fresh, with no root or custom rom.
I installed for him the Facebook app which sat on top of the stock facebook app and still no luck. There is no sync contacs in facebook > settings.
In Settings> Accounts> Add, there is the option for facebook but clicking on it will do absolutely nothing (well.. the icon does get colored when clicking but just that!).
did he add Facebook to his Motoblur Accounts?
I had the same problem with a modded rom. Went back to stock and all ok.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
The Greek ROM is the CEE ROM, the Central Europe ROM and it does not include Motoblur. The official Facebook app won't sync, not sure if it's a bug or intentional. The only way is to flash the phone with a Motoblur enabled ROM, but then no more Greek menus, so it's up to your friend.

Thank you very much for your reply!
Not having greek menus is not a problem, but the phone is not rooted. Need to root to get a english-facebook-working rom?
Hi, my Defy is just 5 days old and I'm also experiencing the same issue. Mine's Asian firmware (with no motoblur) and is experiencing the same error.
Just wanna ask if I will just do the same procedure- using RSD Lite to flash another ROM? I've downloaded UK firmware JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 (with a note "You cannot downgrade after flashing this firmware.")
Is it safe to flash this directly to my asian FW JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0 ??
I can confirm that the Greek firmware version (which you can find at Germanos Romania) has the problems with the Facebook app.
From what I found the problem seems to be the Facebook app and you can't do much about it.
I gave up on searching for a while, but I'll get back after I finish customizing the phone. Maybe the much expected update will save us all.
Cheers!

Same here in Hungary. With the stock Blurless rom.

It's "safe", the flash will work without a problem - BUT - I'd recommend you actually flash the JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 ROM. It's a bit older, but many people who upgraded to the 2.51 version have had issues upgrading to Froyo later - so I'd suggest you avoid it. The 2.21 ROM has no such issues.

That won't work, he states he already is on version 2.51 which means he cannot flash anything earlier, the phone won't boot. He can safely flash the UK 2.51 though.
Exact same problem here. Phone was on firmware 2.51 out of the box so nothing I can do about that. I also installed latest facebook app and indeed tapping facebook in the add accounts screen does nothing. I am using rom Adlxmod F4D version 2 which is Froyo.
Read somewhere on the internet that it can also be device specific so facebook does not natively support sync for all phone models. Hope that is not true...
Here they have a modified Facebook apk for sync to work on a CM rom for the EVO 4G. Maybe someone can do the same for the Defy.
And more interesting stuff to read.
Nobody is interested to investigate this a little bit more? I've been looking into modding apk's but I found nothing about locking in or out certain devices. Also tried random text searches, call them educated guesses, in the apk-files but again found nothing. It seems that Facebook sync is only supported in Android 2.2 and since the Defy officially still has 2.1 it probably takes a while before Facebook officially allows us to sync.
somebody pls look into this! I need facebook sync soo badly!
Facebook sync solved!
I am on Pays ROM and had the same error trying to sync Facebook contacts.
The answer is here my friends:
Look up the Social Buzz apk on the net.
I've found it in a multiupload link on the net.
The socal buzz apk comes in a zip file with 2 apps to instal.
First install pluto and then install the Social buzz apk.
It logs in Facebook quickly and it restores the Facebook contacts sync.
is there a way to sync facebook contacts with the ones in gmail? because that would solve the problem (btw i have the blurless hungarian rom too). i know you can load gmail contacts to facebook, the question is if it is possible to do it the other way around...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I had the same problem with my htc magic ruining on CM 6.1.
But after that I installed the skype app and synced contacts with that, the fb sync started to work too...
Maybe that can work here too.

hello!
hey guys! i have the same problem!! i was running the stock 2.2.2 asian firmware on the defy, and well it didnt work!! then once i rooted my device and started swapping roms i realised it didnt work on quite a few custom roms!! today i was reading this article about how googles taking a stand and something to do with contacts linkining on facebook! so lets see maybe in a future update of face book we'll get lucky!
I used an app that syncs the picture of my facebook contacts, I can't remember the name, but there's one. But it syncs only the picture.
The contacts sync isnt yet supprted in the official facebook app but there is a rom that lets you merge facebook without the need of a blur account. The latest Taiwan released 2.3.4/4.5.2-109 lets you add facebook and other networking accounts with contacts and inbox sync. Check it out in the Development forum.

[CUSTOM ROM] Indian Bada 1.2 (DDKD1) with Social Hub Premium, Call Recording.........

DISCLAIMER:
I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE AFTER FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT THESE FIRMWARES HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY TESTED BY ME AND WORKS WITHOUT ANY HINDRANCE!!!
COPYRIGHT NOTICE: ;D ;D ;D
If anyone wishes to share my work with other users on other forums, they are free to do so under the condition that they credit me in their post and if possible link to my post here.
Thank You.
***************** THE FIRST MODIFIED INDIAN FIRMWARES ******************
****************************** ENJOY ********************************
A very good afternoon to all fellow wavers!!! ;D ;D ;D I am finally done with my exams and have finished the modification to the Indian bada 1.2 (DDKD1) and bada 1.0.2 (DDJI2). ;D ;D
NOTE: For some features to work, you will have to first flash to the modified DDJI2 and then flash to DDKD1. SO I advice everyone that they flash DDJI2 (1.0.2) first. Thank you for your understanding.
Firmwares Included:
1. Modified DDJI2.
2. Modified DDKD1. Only includes the CSC and PFS files, since they are the ones which were modified. So first you will need to download the actual DDKD1 from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/459305949/DDKD1.rar (THANKS TO ROHIRRIM ) and then replace the CSC and PFS files with the files I am uploading. Sorry for the inconvenience, but my net sucks.
For those who want CALL RECORDING, I am separately uploading two files: apps_compressed.bin and a CSC file. NOTE: If you flash these two files, you will have call recording, but you won't be able to update with kies anymore. Kies will show your firmware as S8500JVKC1/S8500ODDKD1. So the choice is yours. For more detailed explanation on how to get call recording keep reading.
Links to the files:
Modified DDJI2 - http://www.multiupload.com/1P61TNH9U0
Modified DDKD1 - http://www.multiupload.com/GMBM6PPQBY
NOTE: You will need 7-zip to extract files. Its free. You can google for it. Thanks.
CHANGE LOGS:
1. Bada 1.0.2 - DDJI2:-
a. The default browser bookmarks are now editable and can be deleted.
b. Social Hub Premium
c. Max MMS size is now 600 KB.
d. Faster GPS. (Lock within a minute under clear sky. ;D)
e. Now max receiver address for messages is 100. (In original DDJI2 it was 50.)
f. Faster booting. About 10 second faster switch on and about 5 sec faster switch off.
g. The default and only CSC region is India. So no need of pre-configuration worries.
h. Deleted all the pre-installed java apps.
i. Included Utalk java locked app with background running and push notifications.
j. Changed Java heap sizes for better java app performance.
k. Increased media player, music player, recorder and VOICE CALL volumes.
l. Deleted the pre-loaded images except the default theme background image,
m. Flash and ad-blocking is now enabled as default.
n. Improved the Secondary Camera (Front Camera) recording quality and increased it's framerate.
o. Increased the youtube streaming bitrate while on wifi.
j. Includes ASPHALT 5 (v1.1.1)
2. Bada 1.2 - DDKD1
a. All the features of Bada 1.2.
b. Support for Youtube 3d.
c. All the features mentioned in DDJI2.
For Social Hub Premium with bada 1.2:
If you want to enjoy Social Hub Premium on DDKD1, you need to first flash to DDJI2. Or else it won't work.
For Call Recording:
For call recording, you will need to flash to the modified DDJI2 and then the modified DDKD1. After that you will need to flash only the apps_compressed.bin file, link to which I am posting below. BUT AS I SAID EARLIER, if you want call recording, YOU CAN'T UPDATE USING KIES ANYMORE.. Your firmware will now look as: S8500JVKC1/S8500ODDKD1 (INU). This is because the apps_compressed.bn is fro the Turkish firmware. I have also included the Turkish CSC file with Indian pre-configuration. So if you wish you can flash the CSC file too to change your CSC version also to TURKISH one.
Download link:
apps_compressed.bin: http://www.multiupload.com/T7E7ZMRKWU
CSC file: http://www.multiupload.com/JI63RFB4YM
HOW TO FLASH:
Here is a video guide on how to flash, made by an user from this forum: Samsung Wave Flashing Guide
I have also attached a pdf guide to this post. The guide is from samfirmware.com. Remember not to check bootchange in multiloader even though the pdf guide asks you to do so.
WHAT TO DO IF AN ERROR COMES UP DURING FLASHING:
If during flashing, multiloader show an error like "Error: apps write" or "Errror: Rc1 write" or aything else for that matter, do not panic. First thing to do is press port search again and re-download the whole firmware again. If the error shows again, close multiloader, remove your phone from the usb, turn it off and then go back to download mode again. Open multiloader and then connect your phone. Then browse for the firmware files again, press port search and press Download. This time it should work without errors.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE FLASHING:
Before each flash, it is recommended that you do a hard reset. Type in "*2767*3855#" without quotes onto the keypad. Remember to take out the sim card and memory card before doing a hard reset. Also remember to backup all the stuff stored on the phone since the hard reset and flashing process wipes away internal memory.
WHAT TO DO AFTER FLASHING:
After each flash do a hard reset again. After the final flash, followed by a hard reset, do the following:
1. Pre-configuration:
Although the Pre-Configuration is already set to INU, and even though there are no other Pre-Configuration options, it is recommended to do the Pre-config process.
How to proceed:
Type in "*#5239870*#" without quotes. Select Pre-configuration. Type in the following in the password field without quotes: "*#27236*#" an press confirm. You will only see INU and it is already selected but it is better to select it again. NOTE: This process is similar to a hard reset. So remove sim and memory card.
2. Voice quality
Enter *#197328640#
1. Choose "[5] Audio"
2. Choose "[1] CP Config"
3. Choose "[1] RCV Config"
4. Choose "[7] Rx AGC"
5. Set "[0] enable flag" to 0 (both read and write)
Repeat step 3 with 2/3/4 (EAR/SPK/BTH).
3. Battery Callibration:
Type "*#0228#" without quotes. Then charge your phone until the top three parameters are 100%. If charging stops in between, unplug charger and then plug it again. Do this until you get 100% on all three.
4. Camera Update: (VERY RISKY!)
If you want to see the camera improvements I mentioned, please follow his step. But this process is very risky.
Caution: Do this very carefully. Make sure you are not out of battery before you proceed.
1. Enter *#36287#
2. Press 3
3. Wait for 4 minutes!! Do not touch your phone during the update process. Do nothing until it says that update is complete!!!
FOR SOCIAL HUB PREMIUM WITH FACEBOOK AND ICQ:
The default Social Hub premium only supports Yahoo, MSN and Google. If you want facebook and ICQ follow the guide in these two websites:
http://www.bada-blog.de/2011/02/17/anleitung-icq-account-mit-dem-google-talk-account-verknupfen/
http://badanation.de/topic.php?t=3313
NOTE: The websites are in German. So use google translate. If someone from this forum who is a native German and could translate the guide for us, it would be great! ;D ;D
Hope everybody has a great time ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

that change kills gps on bada 1.2
also it doesn't make it that much fast to drop down the time from 7-10 min to 1min
anyway thanks for telling
1. You say you have deleted the pre-loaded images, what about audio files?
2. Does your firmware allow Facebook to update via Samsung Apps for Facebook chat?
3. How about adding Answering Machine to the firmware?
no it doesnt :O
my gps works perfectly after changing those settings, its really fast and very accurate
@ TC can u increase the sms memory because it sux only 1300 sms memory dude
For a faster gps, I edited the ini files to enable auto download, data receive type from 2 to 1, device type to 1 from 3, enabled magnetic sensor and enabled ULTSon. Also there is a gps property in the csc file which you can change to s-gps (simultaneous gps).
And these settings do not harm the gps in anyway and its blazing fast on the Indian firmware at least.
The message memory setting is somewhere deep in the system files which are heavily protected. Most probably they are one of the .so file in the ShpAPP dump.

Some Bada Firmware has answering machine. This saves quite some money by avoiding operator voicemail service.

The DDJI2 (Bada 1.0.2) firmware I posted, does support spoofing from menu. That's because it's an older firmware. However DDKD1 (Bada 1.2) doesn't support spoofing.
GPS+
Hello Astrotom forgive my bad English.
I would like clarification on the GPS function +, if you've made ​​the changes you can make all the FW?
Can you explain how?
In all the firmware I tested the GPS + does not work.
I confirm with you that your firmware when you enable GPS + downloads work data and the 3G icon blinks and turns red?
Then you find the kb downloaded packet data?
DDKD1 carcked games r working?
can u make lockscreen as bada 1.2
did any body experienced JPJH1 middle eat version 1.02.It has buit in ans macine along with call rec. only SHP is not there. Can we extract the app frow th FW n install in ddkd1 or ddjI2.. Thank you for the gr8 work

Yes. The gps+ setting works for me. The 3G icon turns red and downloads the satellite data valid for 168 hours or so. And once you download that data, you never need to worry about gps locks as long as you are outdoors. You will get a alock within seconds there on. However if you disable location services, the data will have to be downloaded again and it may take a minute or two.
Good

Thank you for responding.
It would be good that you've done as you communicate to Samsung, because they still were not able to activate the GPS service +.
I do not doubt your words, but I want to be sure before risking overwriting.
I think this is one of the biggest bugs Bada.

How to remove stock apps from HTC Desire 606w(600)

Hello everybody,
Warning: The following paragraphs (may) contain grammar errors. Please make yourself a LOL if you find one. -- A just-passed-exam Englsih learner from China.
I want to remove all the crap wares integrated in the system(stock ROM) that is modified from Desire 600 for ChinaUnicom. That's also why my phone is called 606w.
I've searched some Chinese phone forums. It is said that the system kernel of 606w stock ROM is somehow protected and that these crap apps cannot be removed even if you are an root user. Some guy posted a tool for deleting them, as an recovery like windows PE stuff on PC. But I don't really want to install another recovery. Some other guy, interestingly, wrote "It's more efficient than deleting them by using adb" in the same thread.
So I want to know if it is possible to delete them under the kernel protection and how to do it. It's better if I don't need to unlock the bootloader.
Oh, by the way, another doubt: how to change my power on and off animation. The ChinaUnicom icon really sucks. Could someone upload the original Desire 600 version, either one in Chinese or English is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

By the way will 606w work on 600 ROM?
I also have 606w my main problem is that some of the applications crashes after I enable encryption!!!
E.g. Google Earth - crashes
Chrom (after update crashes, wthout update works)
Flash player (sama as Chrom, afyter update crashes, without update works).
etc.
Does any one know why the apps crash without any notification to the user?

What do you mean "enable encrytion"?
I just installed google service via GMS installer. Let google play handle the update stuff.
By "enable encrytion" I mean enabling the option Settings -> Storage -> Phone storage encryption.
Does any one has the same problem?
After fiddling with my 606w for a week, I'm going slightly mad. The boot animation of the stock rom is intrusive, and the chinese apps and settings are just plain annoying.
I've succesfully loaded spawns 600 images on my 606w, and on the custom roms, all of the chinese crap is gone. However, I now have no gps. I've use fastergps to set the ntp, used clocksync to set the clock. The device just doesn't see any sattelites.
I noticed a difference in the gps settings. On the stock 606w rom, the is an extra setting to enable disable agps, which is absent in the 600 roms. I guess that behind the scenes the 600 and 606 are a little more different than they appear.
If any of the xda gurus have any tips on getting gps to work, that would be greatly appreciated.
GPS not working on Htc Desire International Verison 1.16.401.3
I just noticed that my GPS does not work on my htc desire 606W from Hong Kong... please any one has a solution? or anyone can send me a link for an International Official stock ROM or RUU for this htc desire 606w ?
thanks.

[Q] Korean Version SHV-370K - ROM/GroupPlay/ChatON

Hey people,
I recently purchased a Korean variant of the S4 Mini. The model is SHV-370K. To my findings, its equal to the main version I9195. Is that correct? I do have the NFC chip installed. My question is, can I flash an official ROM like the ones used in the I9195? I have to much KOREAN language apps and I dont think I am prepared to root it. If I can flash an official ROM on this via ODIN?, will I still be able to get the OTA? My current version is 4.2.2. And checking on Sammobile I have the latest. The Korean stuff is just to much of a hassel and I am not sure if I will even get an update. Can I flash an official ROM and not lose warranty and root?
My second question is that I cannot make Group Play work on 2 of these S4 Mini's. They just dont connect. It says Network Lost and sometimes failed to join group. I've tried working it over with NFC and Wifi Direct. Normal gallery pictures and everything send easy, just this app that I really really want to use. Would be great if some one would help me.
My last question is that ChatON keeps giving an Error while checking for push services. I have tried everything. Changed networks, tried Mobile Networks. All my apps are up to date, even the annoying Samsung Push Service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much people.
Have a great day.
Oh and I think its Carrier Branded? Cuz it has this Olleh writen on its back cover?
So ChatON and Group Play is working after they have been updated most recently. I did update them before but they dint seem to work. The current updates work good. Any one about the ROM issue? Would love some help <3.

you can only use a korean K rom, or a modify rom for the K version, otherwise you can brick your phone.

Eeek. I would like something for sure. Will continue my research. Thank you so much for replying. Would love some other opinions too, would be a great help for me.
Hi guys,
Have you found any solution to this problem? I'm also an [almost] happy owner of a Korean-branded S4 Mini and as USSD codes don't work, was told that firmware needs to be changed. But this being specifically a Korean phone, I'm not sure other ROMs out there will even be 100% compatible.
Thanks,
Vit

you have to enter it's secret menu, and insert the password, each network has it's own password.

Thanks, but I don't think I have to enter a password, since other phones work without it. Unless it's somehow phone-specific, but my operator reps would probably have told me (instead they just said the firmware needs to be changed). What secret menu are we talking about? perhaps aI could investigate. At any rate, if there someone has managed to flash the Korean version of the phone with a more "universal" firmware, I'd like to know. Thanks!

This secret menu allows you to modify the network, frequencies and other stuff, each korean service privider has it's own password.
try typing this on the dialer.

I found the password on a Russian forum, it's 774632. But I don't see where in that menu I can enable USSD

you don't need the menu for the ussd, korean version has their own set of ussd, they are different from the international version, some are the same , but most are different.

Please forgive me as I'm a total noob, but after your last reply it hit me: we're probably talking about different USSDs. I meant that my operator USSD codes didn't work, the ones that I send to find out my remaining balance and to also enable/disable services etc. (e.g. I would send *444#2#1 to find out my remaining balance), not the phone's own USSD codes (like the service menus etc, e.g. the IMEI check with *#06#). Operator USSD codes just don't work - the phone either sits trying to connect for a few minutes (locking the phone down during this time), or just says that the signal is too weak. So I guess I do need to install a different firmware to fully unlock it.
Thanks for trying to help though, I'm learning new stuff!

Mate I have the same problem here. The USSD codes just dont work. My balance check does work though. All I have noticed that USSDS that need two steps dont work. Example to transfer credits, I type *456# and in return it should ask me what number I need to transfer my credits, but it just doesnt work. I have tried the menu but no idea what that is all about. Still cannot find what to do.
Secondly I met some one at the forums who has the same device as ours. HE said installing Cynogen Mod is working and it doesnt effect us having a model of SHV something. LOL. So I dont know if I should go ahead and flash a custom rom. I would rather flash an official rom but no one is helping here and I cant seem to find any. Like maybe we could flash an english rom from UK. Something official like the normal I9195 have! Not some korean ones.
New Update.
Hey people! I just got an OTA update and all I see new is a Google Drive icon. The update is still on 4.2.2 and not 4.3. It was about 96mb of file size. How can I take out the changelog and read what bug fixes it brings?
hello
how to do I move from SHV or change the CSC code?
for now getting only the Korean pop up messages.
Want to change to Australia CSC code.

I've read about CSC Select app (on google play market), but I think you need root for this to work. I'm not an expert on that though.
Please write here if you manage to get any results (even if negative).
