Guest erikcas Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) That made me LOL haha :P Well, I had this phone since the month it was released. I never throw away a used phone, just so that I won't forget my experience with it ^_^ This is a hardware failure caused by my own actions. I swum with it in June 2010 in turkey in Lime Water (that is BAD for electronics!) That must have caused to rust from the inside :( I will try to use the 'Oven Method' to fix my phone by putting the motherboard of my phone in the oven. I used such a method previously for the GPU of my laptop which still works :) Well, same goes for me, had OmniaPro since releasemonth too. And it did swim, several times, last time 2 years ago in Siofok Hungary (2 times in one day think it must have to do with lots of bacardi-cola starting early in the afternoon. Went for a swim in the lake while texting and took it to a foam-party, only God may know why I went there, late that night :P) Only had camera replaced, no problems whatsoever on the inside according to the guy who replaced the cam Edited May 12, 2012 by erikcas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xheretic Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I'm working in one unnamed servis center and all of these oven methods seem to me very awful. Only ONE possible option is immediatelly disconnenect device from source of power, disassemble and wash in the pool of isopropylene alcohol. Only advice ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shorty-nr1 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hello, extend the battery running time, I would like to try the magnetic field sensor and orientation sensor to turn off. How can I disable magnetic field sensor and orientation sensor? Rotation is disabled, orientation sensor but runs weoter (orientation sensor is not disabled)? I do not know if you disable of magnetic field sensor and the sensor reaches Orientirungs longer battery run time? Excuse my bad Enlisch. Thank you!

Yeah it sure does :P Your kitchen might smell awfull when baking it but the smell will go away quickly :) Just pre-heat your around 200 degree's, put it in for 10 minutes with the GPU facing UP. After the 10minutes (oven shut down) let it sit in there for like 5 minutes and then get it out and just leave it. Don't touch the card! Leave the GPU for around 1-2 hours to let it fully cool down. Then cross your fingers and try it out! I yet have to try this for my omnia2 :D Soo busy with my exams right now :( @xheretic Yea, but I am not allowed to get my hands on that :( I only got 70% isopropyl alcohol which is bad for electronics T_T Edited May 13, 2012 by shoarmabakpao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AoSra1n Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hey, I just bought a new phone, Thanks for everything. My 2 year journey with the Omnia 2 has come to an end. Will only be using this as a backup phone now. The wonderful android experience has made me buy the new HTC One X. Thanks once again to all developers and support community.

Guest dpspcdrgn Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 When the device don't have a SDcard inserted some values change (mmcblk1p to mmcblk0p). Have you done it? Is your swap working (open terminal and type: free)? Just follow the guide but revert the vold.fstab change in step 3. Also change your fstab file from "mmcblk1p3" to "mmcblk0p3".

If anyone knows the right value at vold.fstab for a non-sdcard inserted, please tell us. [/spoiler] I followed the guide to the letter and made the changes as you suggested to no avail. I have successfully done the same thing on the froyo beta builds and I am far from a linux expert but certainly am not a linux noob. (I use backtrack 5 for pentesting) I have also tried changing almost every instance of mmcblk to 0p3, 0p1 etc. and just can't seem to get it working. I will give you a breakdown of my install and prep process and perhaps you can help me figure it out from there (please :D). Again, thank-you very much for the help! My Wife and I adore the port, we just need to get this sdcard thing working! :) I have my partitions done just as in the tutorial, excluding that I use mini-tool wizard in place of gparted. I have used gparted as well to create them but find the former easier to use (as well I can do the format before running my linux vm) and have the partitions set up thusly: 1) Primary / Fat32 / 14.x Gb / label=sdcard 2) Primary / Ext4 / 1 Gb / label=system 3) Primary / linux-swap / 128 Mb I then follow the guide, mount and untar ext4.tar.gz into system. Then I copy haret, zimage, and the startup.txt you provided me to the partition labelled sdcard. I then do the edits exactly as in the guide = camera app 'no sd card inserted' message. (as well, any other progs that need sd fail) I then try the edits exactly as you suggested = same problem. :/ I have actually spent the last two days editing these mmcblk values hoping to get things working and still I can not get my sdcard partition to mount as my sdcard. What follows is the relevant section of my init.rc file and as I mentioned previously it has a lot of values commented out with #'s. As well as the reference to the loadmod file. Perhaps I should be 'commenting' some of these 'un-commented' lines? Pardon me for not understanding this all so well. I am on a very annoying medication for hypertension called Avalide and it sometimes causes me some mental fog. >< [u]Init.rc lines 115 to 121[/u] # We chown/chmod /data again so because mount is run as root + defaults # mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev # mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system/sd # mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard chown system system /mnt/sdcard chmod 0777 /mnt/sdcard # mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p5 /storage # moved to loadmod --In the above lines I follow the directions and change the 'mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p5 /storage' to 'mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk[i]0p1[/i] /storage' but it is commented out so does nothing correct? Also, I have tried changing the corresponding value in the 'loadmod' file with no positive result. Thank-you again for your time and patience. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rom_omnia2 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm sorry, i couldn't figure out what is the problem yet. Just to make sure, try the following settings: init.rc: Make sure this is it: export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard Uncomment this line: # mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /sdcard[/code] And change as follow: [code]mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard[/code] [b]loadmod:[/b] Change this lines: [code]fat32ms=`parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print|grep fat32|awk '{print $1}'`[/code] [code]mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p$fat32ms /storage[/code] [b]/system/etc/fstab:[/b] [code]/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 swap swap defaults 0 0[/code] [b]/system/etc/vold.fstab:[/b] [CODE]dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.1/mmc_host/mmc1[/code] When you boot, open your file manager and take a look at /storage, /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard. Should display your My Storage FAT partition. If it's showing, fine. But Android and others applications may still not recognize it as SDcard, because of vold.fstab. Since you can see your files, you may try again those values that i said before on last page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shoarmabakpao Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hey, I made my phone but it seems like it refuses to charge right. Just when I see my homescreen on Windows Mobile it justs shuts off with it's shutdown logo. It also gives me a warning about my battery being empty. Been charging for 4 hours now. tried the stock Samsung charger, Sony Ericsson X10 charger, LG GT540 Charger, an intel PC, an AMD pc, an laptop. Tried 3 different cables when charing with the pc/laptop, still a no go :( I posted it here because I think this part of the forum is the most active of them all.

Guest rom_omnia2 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 You're welcome, but is camera/galery app working? dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.1/mmc_host/mmc1[/CODE] This line did it? Weird... so vold.fstab uses a different system to manage available devices/blocks. Normally it's zero when there's no sd-card inserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
