Samsung Galaxy S Help

by Dark Samurai, 02-12-2018, 04:09 PM

Hey guys I need some help trying to root my Galaxy S.
Basically the bottom line is I don't get how to do it. And giving a link to more thinks I don't understand doesn't help either.
Yes you need to put your own firmware on the root folder of the OS and then go recovery mode etc. But I can't do it? Always says verification failed?
Thanks
Oli

Quick question - Self levelling headlights on the RX8 not working?

by DaveEdin, 02-12-2018, 11:44 AM

My mate's 03 RX-8 headlights are pointing too low to the ground. He reckons they should be self-levelling as he can't find a switch anywhere on the dash to adjust them upwards a bit.

He's afraid of taking it to Mazda as he reckons he'd end up in a "Pants down and lean over this desk please sir" type situation.

Anyone got any suggestions for how to check/fix the problem? Or even if there's a way to adjust the lights manually?

Forum on phone

Bit of a weird one, anyone else press quick links/notifications button on the i/phone and the drop down either doesnt appear or appears at the completely opposite end of the screen??

I know its not my phone, cause it first happened on my 3gs about 3 months ago, same thing happens on my IP4 and its the same before/after the forum upgrade??

Battery Fluid

by parthiban, 01-12-2018, 05:58 AM

After changing my battery over the weekend, I put the old one in the boot to take down to the local recycling centre - however never got time in the end and forgot I left it in the boot.

Was reminded yesterday by a large thump when it fell over - it seems to have leaked a little onto the boot carpet. It's not a lot (hasn't soaked through) but the area is a bit damp.

Can I just leave it to dry and all will be fine, or will this cause issues? And if so what should I do about it?

Recently started playing this, has anyone got any tips as to how to get through the zombie bit? Make it about 4 rounds and then they come and kill us........is that because we're rubbish or is there a strategy required?

Nearly died thanks to a pothole!!

by E55EX_RACER, 30-11-2018, 05:46 AM

For those who haven't seen this on WIM thought I would post it here as well...I'll just copy and paste.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Grab a coffee (or tea!) it's gonna be a long post!!

Yesterday evening we went to Focus DIY in Chesham as I wanted to buy a toolbox on offer, got there ok and started making our way back. We were driving down Latimer Road, which is a long, bendy country lane for those who don't know it.

Driving along when there was a massive thump from the NSF wheel, yep a pothole or rather a crater!! :mad: Carried on for another 30 seconds and then got the classic signs of a flat tyre so we pulled over and I had a look. It was flat but where I had stopped was right next to the embankment/bushes so no room to change the wheel, plus this was right after a bend so not a good place to be on a 60 limit road. I very slowly drove abit further down as I knew there was a turning up ahead and the embankment was flat so there was space to change the wheel. Pulled over and decided I'd call the AA out rather than try to change it in the pitch black, but due to where we were there was no mobile phone signal!! So I didn't have much choice but to try and change it.

Got the tools out and scissor jack then loosened the nuts off. The missus and son got out so I could jack the car up when somebody stopped and asked if I was ok. I said I was fine as it shouldn't take me long so off they went and I was just gonna jack the car up when someone else stopped. He lives on this road and said he could go and get his trolley jack, would only be a couple of minutes so I agreed. I got the spare wheel out from under the back of the car and waited for him to come back. I had already put my hazards on and sidelights as it was so dark but decided to turn the engine on to keep the battery charged. The guy came back and parked in front of our car with his hazards and side lights on. He said someone further up had 2 blown tyres caused by the hole as well and the other road he came back down there was someone else with a flat tyre!

He got his trolley jack out and air gun, proper garage equipment so I think he must be a mechanic and got the car in the air. I was then crouching down trying to fit the spare on, I remember having abit of problem due to rust around the centre hole, obviously cos the wheel is exposed under the car. I managed to get it on and the guy was next to me holding the torch and getting ready to put the bolts in...only needed 5 minutes and it would've been done. Then BANG, the car gets shunted 2 metres forward into the front of his car, we both went flying backwards and there's steam pouring out of the engine from the car that just went into the back of ours.

After a minute, which seemed a very long surreal moment we were like WTF has just happened, how could someone have not seen us, everyone else passed ok. I looked into the car that had just smashed into us and it was an old lady driving, I would say getting on for 80. She looked abit dazed and confused and got out of the car and was just standing in the middle of the road in the dark! So I went round to get her and helped her onto grass verge, asked her if she was ok. She just looked at the cars and said did I do that, she thought the lights was a car coming the other way. Looking at the damage I don't think she even attempted to brake and must've hit at 40-50mph.

The missus and son had crossed the road and stood in the field opposite, both in tears and shocked. Her son was giving the old lady verbal, you've just smashed our car up etc! We were trying to get signals on our phones but couldn't get any, nor could the old lady. The guy living in that area obviously had a network that he could use so he phoned the police and then we borrowed it to call the missus parents. While this was happening another car had stopped behind us with a flat tyre, yep another victim! She was on the phone to someone to come out and help although didn't even bother coming to see if any of us were ok, nice!

About 10-15 minutes later the old bill turned up and started controlling the traffic etc and sort out recovery. The AA wanted to charge us there and then to remove it so we just let the police use their own contract and the car is now in Aylesbury. It will get written off anyway so I didn't want it back home. The missus parents turned up and took her son home while we waited for the recovery lorry. The police also said they'd get the hole filled in last night due to the number of people getting flats. So I had gone from claiming for a tyre, to the rim as well cos that was buckled to having the car written off.

Her car was a Honda Jazz and considering the speed the impact happened at the airbag didn't go off, I was surprised about that? The guys car was a Porsche Cayenne and cos it's quite a high car ours sort of went under it so he only appeared to have bumper damage and possibly a split rad, he drove it home though after swapping details. The old lady had called her son and he arrived pretty quickly after it happened and arranged a taxi to take her home, while he waited for the recovery truck. Later on I was thinking that the police didn't breathalyse her, should they have done?

Apart from a grazed hand and leg I'm ok but it so easily could've been different. I do ache quite alot today though. A few minutes earlier when I was getting the spare wheel out I could've been the filling in a car sandwich! I was so lucky the car didn't land on me or drag me down the road as it was shunted and I fell backwards instead. I could do all the 'what ifs' but what's done is done and there's no point going over what could've been, although I did that last night. When I got in it hit me how close that really was and if finding out last year my mum having cancer didn't make me realise how short life is that certainly did!

This is where the crash happened, we were parked over on the left

My phone had hardly any battery so the flash wouldn't trigger on the camera, hence the dark photos. But I'll go and see the car to get the stereo and other bits out so will get some then.
