But, you can download doubleTwist on both the Galaxy S and your PC. doubleTwist allows you to sync all your iTunes Playlists, Videos & Images, so think of it as an iTunes for Android . I could certainly use the default Music Player or doubleTwist as my MP3 Player, no problems. Just don’t expect anything special from it. How do you get your PC to recognise the Galaxy S? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I was also asking myself this as well. After reading the User Manual, for the first time, I found out you have to down “Samsung Kies”, which is a 140MB program, that allows you to sync stuff to your phone, as well as allowing wired tethering. This is the stupidest move by Samsung, 140MB just to get your Galaxy S to mount it’s internal and external memory to your PC. Which leads on to the next question.. I have hosted “Kies” locally for you guys if you want to download it faster: Download Kies How do Internal & External Memory mount to your PC? Are they Separate? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yes, the Internal Memory, be it 8GB or 16GB, will mount to your PC as a separate drive from your MicroSD (External Memory). This allows you to have all your music/videos/images on your MicroSD which you can then put into any device, and all the stuff you want always on your Galaxy S to be placed on the Internal Memory. In the Galaxy S’s file system, the Internal Memory is mounted as /sdcard and External Memory is mounted as /sdcard/sd Did you have any problems connecting to WPA2-Enterprise? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « No, it connected just fine. Although a few people who visit this site have contacted me to tell me they have had troubles with it. But it’s working fine for me. Super AMOLED, AMOLED or TFT – Which do you think is better? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Depends on what you mean by “better”, but I am a massive fan of TFT. Well, that was until I tried Super AMOLED. Super AMOLED makes TFT look washed out & nowhere near as vibrant. It also puts AMOLED to shame when under sunlight, as you can actually see it. So my verdict: TFT is better for crispness, Super AMOLED is better for deeper more vibrant colours. Super AMOLED just needs greater pixel density and it’ll be a winner. What is a ROM/firmware? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The firmware/ROM is the software that runs on the phone. In case of the Galaxy S this is (currently) Android 2.1 Eclair Can I update my firmware? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Most likely: Yes. If you are from Europe or Asia, you will find new firmwares, made by Samsung, here or here. You will also find guides to flashing your firmware there in several languages. Please also keep in mind that not all firmwares that come with phones are available. Reflashing to stock may not be possible because the specific firmware isn't available! Do I need to root first before flash the firmware? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « No. You can straight away flash your firmware without root. *Why are there multiple files in the firmware archive/folder?/Why do I get three different versions when using #1234#? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Galaxy S firmware updates come in three parts: -The "ROM" itself (called PDA). This is android and all the applications that come with it. (The archives/folders will be named after the version of this file) -The Modem (called Phone). This is the firmware of the wireless chipset of the device and will operate you WiFi, Blutooth and 3G/2G/GSM connections. (ie Radio ROM) -The CSC (short for Country/Carrier Specific Code). This includes connection data for the broadband networks as well as apps that are only available in certain languages/intended for a specific area. If we ask for your firmware. We mean all three! Can I mix PDA/Modem/CSC files from different firmwares without bricking my phone? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yes. Most Modem/CSC files will work with any PDA. However, there may be compatibility issues which may force you to reflash your phone. Note also that newer CSCs usually include newer versions of the software that comes with them. My phones software version says I9000XXJF3/XXJF5/xxxxx. What does this mean? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A complete list of the meaning of of the codes at the end of the firmware-names can be found here. The first two letters describe the country while the third gives the year, the fourth gives the month and the last number/letter is the version of the firmware (from that specific month. Numbering starts at 1-9 and then uses letters from A-Z) How can I reset my phone? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « On the Galaxy S the soft-reset is achieved by pressing and holding the power button. A hard-reset can executed by pressing and holding VolumeUP+Home+Power. There you will find the options "reboot", "apply sdcard:update.zip", "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition". The "wipe data/factory reset" option will restore your phone to the original configuration of the firmware YOU LAST INSTALLED (including any updates made via update.zip). This will NOT bring your phone back to the firmware installed when you originally bought it unless you haven't flashed your phone. You can navigate the recovery screen using VolumeUp & VolumeDown and use the Home button to select. I have flashed a new firmware and now my phone won't connect to 3G. What's wrong? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The CSC you used is most likely not intended for your area. This means that the broadband provider settings are not included and need to be configured manually. To do this, go to Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names, press the settings-button and select "New APN". You will then need to enter the respective data as provided by you mobile operator. APN settings can usually be found on the operators website. I'm running Windows 7(Vista) x64 and have installed Samsung Kies, but I cannot get my phone to connect. What can I do? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This issue is not exhaustedly solved, however, you can try to use the USB drivers found here. Alternatively, reinstalling Kies sometimes solves this problem. Note that you do not need your phone to be completely recognize when connected to Samsung Kies in order to flash. In order to flash, the USB driver for you phone must be correctly installed when you connect it in "download-mode". 9.What is root/rooting? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « root is the use account in Linux with all privileges. The root user can edit anything on the system. For safety reasons, users do not have all those privileges. When you root your phone, you will gain write access to areas of the phone you couldn't previously access and are allowed to run more commands in the terminal. The latest guide can be found here, however, all current CustomROMs are rooted and can simply be applied via update.zip. If all of this means nothing to you then you are probably wise to NOT root your phone. Mistakes using root can break your phone very easily. (Usually, but not always, these can be solved with a reflash. What are custom ROMs? How do I get them? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « As of now, the following CustomROMs are are available (not necessarily exhaustive): Modaco's R2 Doc's Barebone Galaxy .6 (As of now, V6 has been reported to be severely bugged. V5 receives better feedback!) Sera's JIT-Galaxy XQ55 Arab ROM v1.1 SamSet RC2 Most custom ROMs can also be found on my mirror. Downloads from there are significantly faster than one-click-hosting solutions like rapidshare. How do I install custom ROMs and common mistakes?** » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Most ROM chefs provide detailed instructions with their ROM. Common mistakes are: -Using the wrong firmware underneath the update. (Check your firmware by dialing #1234 to see your firmware version) -Putting update.zip on the external SDcard. (The file needs to be in the folder "/sdcard/" and NOT in "/sdcard/sd/"!) -Naming the update "update.zip.zip" instead of "update.zip". (Windows does not show the .zip ending by default. You will have to enable it by going to Tools->Folder Options->View->Uncheck "Hide extensions for known filetypes" in Windows Explorer.) I flashed a new firmware and now I cannot download protected apps and Market-enabler doesn't work. How can I still install protected apps? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Some firmwares have that problem. The most promising fix so far can be found in this post. My phone takes forever to get a GPS-fix? Is there a solution to this problem? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « There is a suggested solution here. For complete discussion on the issue see this thread. However, the problems vary per firmware and the solution may not work for all versions. I tried using Allshare/DLNA but it will not recognize my device/play any files? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « As of now a lot of DLNA certified devices/software do not work with Allshare. However, Samsung TVs should work and Windows Media Player 12 as well as Samsungs PC Share Manager work in most cases. I want to install new firmware but I want to have a backup of my original firmware to go back to in case I need to go back for warranty reasons. Can I backup my original firmware somehow? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « As of now, there is no way of backing up firmware that doesn't first require you to root your device. The application RomManager (from the market) does provide for a backup feature but requires root-access (and there have been no confirmations on whether this works so far). Can I disable 2G broadband like on the Desire/N1? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « There is no permanent solution for this problem yet. This fix will have to be executed after every reboot. Dial ##197328640## and go to "debug screen"->"phone control"->"network control"->"band selection" and chose WCDMA to disable 2G. I am experiencing long loading times when opening apps/intermittent lags when switching screens. What is the problem? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The Samsung Galaxy S uses the internal SD to store cache data by default. This storage is significantly slower than the ROM and thus it takes longer for apps to load data from the cache. If your cache isn't too big and your phone is rooted, there is a fix which will place the cache on the NAND. However, storage-space there is very limited and some apps will not correctly install because they need too much cache. Please note that some users are reporting that the lag becomes less in newer f/w versions and that most CustomROMs have the lag fix included but you may have to execute the script yourself by opening the application "MCR Scripts" and executing "LagFix.sh" (or something to that effect). An alternative fix has been introduced by Mimo using the external SD card. It reportedly delivers better results and is capable of supporting a lot more data (theoretically limited by the 32gb microSDHC size limit) I have a SIM-Locked phone. Is there anything I need to look out for? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « It has now been confirmed that also SIM-locked phones can be flashed at least once. If you flash your SIM-phone, please drop a message in this thread. This means that as of now (there seem) to be no specific restrictions for SIM-locked phone except the lock itself. WHAAAA! I think I bricked my phone. My flash was unsuccessful/My device boots to a black screen/similar scenarios. Can I still save my device? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Most likely: YES! In almost any case, you should still be able to turn off the device (if necessary by removing the battery) and start into download-mode (VolumeDown+Home+Power) or recovery-mode (VolumeUp+Home+Power). After (for example) an unsuccessful flash, you can retry the flash in download-mode (same steps as when flashing a functioning device). If a flash to a function f/w (without apply any update.zip) doesn't help or you cannot get you PC to flash at all, you can ask for help here. (Please try to reboot your PC as well if you cannot flash and try FAQ8 if you have trouble with getting the phone recognized on Windows 7/Vista x64) When will Froyo be released for my shiny new phone? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « As of now, the best estimate is somewhere around the middle of August. Samsung has confirmed that the Korean variant of the Galaxy S will be update during early August. Since the International Version is almost identical hardware-wise the international version is likely to be updated soon after the Korean one. But expect the Asia(Malaysia/Singapore) version will be longer than Europe version Can I flash an Asian ROM on my European device or vice versa? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Flashing should work without any problems. There are no known compatibility issues as of now. If any should arise, flashing back to Asian firmware is always possible. Check your current ROM by dialing #1234 to make sure you do not have a Korean variant of the phone (which is NOT compatible!). Can I get Asian language support in the European firmwares? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « There is (as of now) no way to reintegrate Asian language support in the European firmwares. The possibility may exist in the future, however, there are currently no devs working on it. There is of course always the possibility to flash back to an Asian firmware. Note that this means that you cannot set the interface to Asian languages (except Korean). You can still receive and send text messages in chinese/japanes etc (you will only need a new keyboard that supports inputting characters) I'm running Linux. Can I still flash my firmware? Do I need to install windows? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « You do not need to install Windows. However, you do need to install VirtualBox with full USB support (or an equivalent) and create a Windows-based Virtual machine in order to run Odin (the flash program). Any quick fix for GPS issue? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « You can try this method: http://www.androidcentral.com/quick-fix-gp...-s-series-phone Any recommended apps to check my data usage? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Try to find "3G watchdog" on Android Market. Tips to pro-long battery » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1) Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a device is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns. 2) Batteries with fuel gauge should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely. 3) Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level. 4) Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices. 5) If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge. Thanks to Ausdroid website and also XDA forum.

"Viva La Revolucion!" Senior Member 1,469 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: YOU.ESS.JAY	Anyone tried the recently released Tango app? Now u can make video call using 3G, 4G or Wifi between Android phones and iPhones. I tried it and it works smoothly btwn my SGS and my fren's iPhone4. Only problem is i cant use the front camera, only the back camera can be used on SGS. While on iPhone4 you can switch btwn the front and rear cameras. Hopefully the dev fixed it soon, since it's still new anyways.

9W2NNS Staff 10,459 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Puchong	I like the idea of Tango app. Since it's cross platform, I can predict high adoption like whatsapp. Only if they resolve issue with every phone of every platform, and have a fantastic contacts system like whatsapp. Currently they seem to be hindered with the contacts system. Btw guys, is there a quick way to type a comma (,) on the Samsung keyboard, without going to the symbol page? It's a disadvantage compared to swype.

9W2NNS Staff 10,459 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Puchong	Lol.. Guys, don't flash your Galaxy S with Captivate ROM which I mentioned earlier. Putting that wrong firmware can boot but causes lots of problem to the phone due to hardware incompatibility. The worse part, that person haven't patched his bootloader to allow 3 button recovery and he couldn't flash to original ROM. Lol-ness at XDA-developers.

Suddenly my phone feels very hot on the top part. Not long after that my phone run out of battery in 3 to 4 hours. I have to recharge the battery from 0% and restart. After that found out chompsms lost its theme and batterystats lost its setting. Have to reset the settings. Anyone experience this before? I tried reset the batterystats. The 1st time. This happen again the 2nd time just now. Did batterystats reset again. Hopefully it will resolve the problem. Thanks for reading.

9W2NNS Staff 10,459 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Puchong	QUOTE(matsuru @ Oct 3 2010, 02:14 AM) Guys, some enquiries. My SGS with stock firmware + voodoo lagfix. Recently this happen to me 2 times. Suddenly my phone feels very hot on the top part. Not long after that my phone run out of battery in 3 to 4 hours. I have to recharge the battery from 0% and restart. After that found out chompsms lost its theme and batterystats lost its setting. Have to reset the settings. Anyone experience this before? I tried reset the batterystats. The 1st time. This happen again the 2nd time just now. Did batterystats reset again. Hopefully it will resolve the problem. Thanks for reading. Just my 2 cents... Sounds like the CPU does not enter sleep mode and is being used to 100% cpu time thus heating up and draining the battery. It can be caused by some bad program or conflicts. Does it happen before you used voodoo?

OH MAH ANDROID Senior Member 3,177 posts Joined: Sep 2006 From: subway FTW	QUOTE(mengsuan @ Oct 3 2010, 01:40 AM) I like the idea of Tango app. Since it's cross platform, I can predict high adoption like whatsapp. Only if they resolve issue with every phone of every platform, and have a fantastic contacts system like whatsapp. Currently they seem to be hindered with the contacts system. Btw guys, is there a quick way to type a comma (,) on the Samsung keyboard, without going to the symbol page? It's a disadvantage compared to swype. that what im be facing when using samsung keyboard, i try to normally use swype keyboard but sometime when multi touching it just go and write gibberish cause the auto complete. here is what i can say to solve the problem: 1.install other keyboard apps 2.try to turn off the sywpe auto complete(play with the speed vs accuracy) 3.install other keyboad mod such as HTC keyboard <-- im using it now, but the problem is, it doesnt support multi touch i think cause it is not as smooth as installed keybaord.

Ketard Gang Senior Member 1,649 posts Joined: Dec 2007	QUOTE i have a Desire. I recommended to a friend to get the Galaxy S; on paper the latter has many advantages with better battery life and the super AMOLED , though crazily it lacks camera flash. In reality, after 2 months she's so fed up with it she wants to ebay it for and get an old iPhone 3GS - I know - it's the same processor running much slower, yet ironically the iPhone is so much more responsive - and I can understand her disappointment after paying so much. Her Galaxy S is really laggy and unresponsive, even with all background apps killed, when typing an SMS the text lurches on screen, taking between 0.5 to 4 secs to appear (it's just like typing in a laggy terminal to the other side of the world!), apps take so long to start loading you initially think the screen hasn't picked up your finger tap, yet reading about it that's a common lag problem. When plugged in to a PC, hers gives no option to mount the drive to copy pictures or music across - the Desire works so much better. It's unbranded and unlocked so should be fairly stock. The only solution seems to root it, install Froyo yourself and a lagfix, but I don't to risk bricking it and invalidating her warranty, and customer's shouldn't need to do this. Samsung promised the release for yesterday (end of September) but now it's been delayed to the end of October. I can't imagine her keeping it now. The Galaxy S has a lot of potential on paper, and maybe it will be a massively better phone with Froyo and lagfix on it, but just doesn't seem to work nearly as well as the Desire or iPhone atm. QFT ......

Wanna ask all you galaxy users, any regrets after using your SGS? Let me give you an unbiased comment: 1) the display, despite being really nice, good contrast and colours (except for red, it's too red on some photos), it's not as sharp as it should be. It's not TRUE 480x800 pixels, because it has only 2-subpixel for each pixels, or maybe 5 subpixels for each 2 pixels, due to its pentile arrangements. So yeah, it sucks on vertical and horizontal lines. 2) the lag, it starts to creep on me... but still manageable. I'm quite patient with it. coming from a Windows user, you'll get used to it 3) Samsung lied to us on the battery life. Maybe it would standby as long as claimed if you set it to Flight Mode, or don't activate the screen AT ALL. I guess that's all for now. As for my friend owning HTC Desire. He keeps complaining that he has to contemplate on what apps to install, due to the puny 512MB ROM it has. lol. Oh ya, and somehow, my A-GPS works fine, while his Desire's A-GPS having problem locking instead. And I've been installing/uninstalling all sorts of craps without remorse.

I'm not very sure which settings you're referring to. I still had the Holux bluetooth GPS mouse when I have Diamond. On the same diamond, I compared its internal GPS receiver and Holux external receiver. The internal receiver wins. Oh yes, I had N82 GPS experience. It is terrible too. At the same time in the same car, Diamond started navigation in less than 30 seconds while the N82 took 5 minutes to find its location. By time the N82 starts navigating, I already manage to send my friend to his doorstep. Since all the devices I had, have somewhat good GPS accuracy. SGS is incomparable.

Getting Started Junior Member 83 posts Joined: Aug 2008	Today I had a problem with the stock internet browser. It was just unresponsive. After I typed in the web address and hit "Go", the address bar will just turn blank, instead of usually displaying the progress bar. My wifi wasn't a problem because I can view webpages on the Opera Mini. Even after clearing cache and cookies on the stock browser, it's still dead. Only after I reboot the phone, then it started working again (luckily). Anyone experienced this before? Any idea what's causing it and how to prevent it? I prefer the stock browser actually seems to load faster than the Opera Mini. Thanks! ----- Woah, BlindType is scary...?????? also can form words. If got this + Swype, no need to look at the screen when typing edi, simply hentam also can. This post has been edited by bunnymaker: Oct 3 2010, 11:19 PM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,961 posts Joined: Jan 2003	It's quite similar to Swype, except without any swiping at all. Probably use approximation of the keyboard layout to determines the words you gonna type out. Soon we gonna see a lot of smartphone users sending SMS while driving... Added on October 4, 2010, 1:24 am QUOTE(freakfingers12 @ Oct 3 2010, 10:25 PM) Thanks. Those are something I don't come across reading reviews. Very useful. Aside from lagging, does it crash a lot? I've even seen reviews where it shows the SGS crash. lol. Lagging seems to be the main con here, from your opinion, how bad is the lag? Once the program load, does it lag in program too? Frankly speaking... crashes. I had a few experience with it. Yahoo! Mail & Yahoo! Messenger. These 2 f*ing apps. Dunno why it ran so slow on my phone. So ended up I uninstalled them. Screw them. So slow until the level that the OS prompted me to whether kill them off or not. There are some other minor apps that hog the resources (don't have Task Manager like Windows to check if the CPU util reach 100% though) until the phone not responding. But the phone did a restart (without shutdown/bootup logo/video) on its own. In term of stability. It's quite commendable as I would say. But once a while if you step on mines (lousy/buggy programs), you might encounter slow/lag/hang. But if you wait long enough without resorting to pulling out the battery, the OS will survive. I've yet to pull out my battery due to hanging so far. Cause I don't like taking out the battery. The back cover looks so fragile and loose easily. Pulling the plug gonna be last resort. And aside from that, for this phone (not sure if it applies to all Android phones), if you have running apps already and your phone shutdown itself due to low batt. The next boot up, those apps will be run in the background, auto-magically. As for the lag, it could be lag in everywhere. Currently my most annoying lag is using the Swype keyboard. At times when it access the dictionary, it renders the keyboard useless. You can only punch the keys 1 by 1, instead of swiping, in order to avoid the program trying to access the dictionary and slow the system down. It happens quite often if I switch IME from time to time. So I tried to stick with Swype as much as possible now. And when this problem occurs, certain buttons on the keyboard has been disabled. Even if I restart the phone, it won't help. Not sure if OCLF or Voodoo would fix this issue. Will try OCLF as some said Voodoo sucks battery. Seeing that my battery already damn suck, I might have to go with the less strain on battery option. This post has been edited by Harddisk**: Oct 4 2010, 01:24 AM

Time will tell if this is the better lag fix.

Try to reboot and then let it iddle for half an hour, check the running again.

Yeah, as I claimed earlier, I left the wifi on during PC USB charging and unplug. But on the same occasion yesterday, which I haven't reinstall WhatsApp (and Tango), I had the Wifi on and I left the phone unplugged since Friday night, around 2am, I think. And left Wifi connected & in standby by my bedside until morning. It was still showing 90% + when I woke up. Forgot the exact figure, but it was nice to know that the battery still on the high side after a few hours. As for my screen... I think that has to do with the constant Gtalk + WhatsApping earlier when I reached office. That was after I reported my 1st battery status earlier. But now, the battery is 50%. The system is getting freaking slow now... sweat

A brand new sealed AP set goes for about RM2.0 to 2.1k max

9W2NNS Staff 10,459 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Puchong	Only SME (Samsung Malaysia Electronics) is the official distro. Any other, it is AP. 8GB = confirmed AP. My bet is, there is nothing hanky panky about your unit. It isn't messed up, it isn't demo unit. They did use it to show to customers because these phones are what they have. Every AP phone end up the same fate like yours. They sell you your phone, they take another phone and put it for next customer's demo. This post has been edited by mengsuan: Oct 4 2010, 12:04 PM

What's the price you got it for?

Sorry if this doesn't really work out. My data utilisation is still way below, despite just 500mb package. So I don't really bother if it use or not (at least for this month). Thanks again. I do that (checking on the Total bytes sent) and found that if I did not received/sent any sms, the total bytes will remain the same(this show that Whatsapp is not taking any data usage). But when I checked on the 3G watchdog, the kb keep increasing (only around 20 - 50kb every 30 minutes). Note: I disable all the email push (I set it to manually retrive) I really like Whatsapp alot and hopefully it did not takeup too many data usage when we did not sent/received any sms. Cheers...

Actually, secure or not, I don't really bother. Unless ISA wanna trace me. Hahaha. Even if ISA wanna find me, I better go off the net/wire/tech, to be safe. So, just location information, secured/encrypted or not, don't care la. Besides, without encryption, it reduces the overheads/data packet size, although minimal.

The thing I like about the paid version is that I can schedule automatic daily backups every 4am (I keep 7 days of backup on the sdcard) which is a big worry-free feature for me.

I agree it only works well when restoring on the same fw version. I've restored across firmware versions (the most recent when upgrading from JM5 to JM8) and man, it was a total train wreck. Market links didn't get restored, gtalk refused to launch and downloading apps from the market would get stuck at 'Starting download...'. I also found that LauncherPro doesn't like being restored. Anyways, one more question: can you do a selective restore and then let the batch takeover and have it all done unattended? That way, I can control what I want to restore and leave system apps out. QUOTE(benny888 @ Oct 4 2010, 02:29 PM) I use paid version, worth every sen.

There are a number of unattended restore options available (probably also there in the free version): Restore Missing Apps with Data Restore Newer Apps + All System Data Restore Newer Versions of User Apps Restore All Apps with Data I'm guessing you should try the first one after manually restoring or installing selected apps.. I've only tried the last option before, so in my case, it's either all manual restoration or all fully automated. I know what you mean by the tediousness of having to do things 1 app at a time. The last time I did a major reinstall/restore task, I actually remotely controlled my rooted but freshly flashed phone from the computer, using the 'Droid VNC Server' app on the phone (debugging mode on, adb port forwarding enabled, ultraVNC viewer on PC). Much easier to mouseclick things than to use finger to navigate the phone..

That's the older version based on a different filesystem (NILFS) which has been taken offline. The current one (based on JM8 kernel) uses ext4 - I am using this now. It is about as quick as the original voodoo (custom kernel) but sips less power in my experience.

Yup, correct, once you installed Whatsapp, it will be running and you can send/received message anytime as long as Data/Wifi is on. (doesnt matter you disable sync or not). Just hope that it will not take up too much battery (as of now, I dont see any battery drain) and data usage. Cheers.

The current one (based on JM8 kernel) uses ext4 - I am using this now. It is about as quick as the original voodoo (custom kernel) but sips less power in my experience. That's right. NILFS continuously takes a snapshot of your filesystem. These snapshots get stored in an every-growing log that in time will end up using more and more space. It is a little bit like a garbage collector. Haha.. but in all seriousness a garbage collector is a mechanism used in software engineering as a means of de-allocating memory by clearing up orphaned or stale files and links. kmrdeva, I am hoping that the Voodoo in stock JM8 kernel solves my power issues. I was on JM5 and Voodoo beta 1, 2, 3, 4 and 3.0 earlier and they were pretty hard on battery life. I found beta2 to be better for battery life, but beta4 and 3.0 to be faster. How long have you been on JM8+Voodoo?

How long have you been on JM8+Voodoo? I've only had experience with the Voodoo lagfix 3.0 (the one without the colour thing) and also OCLF before I tried the JM8 stock kernel with Voodoo. It's been about a week so far and I can definitely state that for my phone, the JM8+voodoo lagfix is less power hungry than Voodoo 3.0. If I remember correctly, OCLF hit battery even less, but then I didn't quite like its 'fast here but slow there' kinda performance. Still using OCLF to root my phone, though (might as well since I've donated to RyanZA). This post has been edited by kmrdeva: Oct 4 2010, 04:25 PM

The Voodoo that comes baked into a stock kernel is based on JM8. If you are already on JM8 firmware, you should be able to directly do an update in recovery. But to be on the safe side, you can go the roundabout way: 1. disable voodoo 3.0 2. reboot so it reverts to RFS. 3. ensure RFS is in use via Quadrant (800+ score) 4. enter recovery mode, run update.zip that has the Voodoo + JM8 stock kernel 5. after that it should reboot but will still be using RFS because of 'disable lagfix' folder 6. remove disable lagfix folder 7. reboot to enable Voodoo 8. Verify with Quadrant Phew. If you aren't on JM8, you need to disable Voodoo first. Then only flash over to JM8. This post has been edited by guppy: Oct 4 2010, 04:43 PM

Yes it works without having to disable the lagfix. This is because both supercurio's Voodoo kernel and the stock JM8 kernel with Voodoo improvements both can recognise the ext4 partition on the sdcard (where we install our apps).

Can I just use back my JG4 with the JM8 Kernel so that I don's have to flash a new firmware? sorry.. I am still learning hence asking these questions.... Cheers...

According to reader reports, the JM8 kernel with voodoo should work with non-JM8 (but only Eclair) firmwares. To be safe, though, I went up to JM8 first then applied the JM8 kernel+voodoo update.

They didn't in Voodoo without the stock JM8 kernel.

Just reflash it back to your original firmware (DXJG4?). If you've never flashed before, just do a factory reset. Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset.

Only 1 phone call (loudspeaker) for ~3 minutes, 1 SMS sent, 1 SMS received. Feeds as usual, no one talked to me in whatsapp, email notified me once in a while but I read using computer. Just 5% usage. Fair enough right? Btw, I don't use task manager. I used advanced task manager last time and my battery is left 33% by end of the day.

Just envious that your battery can last that long while most of us has to charge at least once a day. Maybe I should uninstall my Task Manager all together? Or just remove the widget? BTW, I notice my Internet Browser doesn't fully close, cause it always stays in the Task Manager's Active application list. Is that alright to leave it be? While the music player would be loaded automatically when the earphones is plugged/unplugged.

After surf/download data, switch back to 2G for normal voice/sms call. The reason 3G take up more battery life due to when certain area got no 3G coverage, it will keep on searching for 3G network and this will speed up battery drain.

One is by connecting your phone using the USB cable and select Internet whatever from the menu (if you set it to select which mode). The other is using Mobile AP and turning your phone into mini hotspot. I prefer mobile AP, since 3G watchdog can still watch your usage when you use it as opposed to the other one.

No, I don't really overcharge and I unplug upon full charge. I watch the voltage so that it does not exceed 4200mV for too long. Maybe my batterystats.bin is messed up but one day, if the phone died while showing 30% remaining, I'll report in.

Go market download "spare parts", then click Battery History on it, check the field "Running" is it 100%? If is 100% must be some bad apps preventing your phone from sleeping, bad apps i had encounter is "tango" If is not 100%, try switching from 3G to 2G, go Settings - > wireless and network -> Mobile Networks - > Network Mode -> Change to GSM ONLY by switching to 2G can save about 50% of battery from my experience. I'm using 2G, sync Exchange, Gmail, whatsapp, facebook, gtalk all on the same time, never turn off them. If normal usage i can have 50%+ during night time, heavy usage then around 20 to 30 by midnight.

You can try Watchdog from Market. It monitors all your apps - foreground and background and alerts you if any of them exceeds a certain cpu threshold (40% by default I think). As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm using JM8 with the baked-in Voodoo lagfix. Granted I've only used it for a day, the battery life is a real improvement over the plain kernel. Unplugged it at 69% before 9am, was at 39% around 8pm, low battery warning at 14% at 1am. Your usage should give you much more mileage than what you're getting now. I take it that your display isn't set to blindingly bright. Then, it could be a rogue app that's chewing cpu in the background - Watchdog will detect this. Another thing might be the firmware you're on. I don't place too much confidence in the leaked Froyo firmwares. The later Eclair fws are reportedly more optimized.

I guess if I was using the i9000 as a primary device, I'd use the more stable Eclair. I'm going to wipe and re-flash (and not download any third party apps at all) to see how the battery life is. At least this device is keeping me busy (and out of mischief) until the next device (like the Torch) is released that is!! Damn you gadgets!

Dude, experienced from been on Froyo ZSJP2 since it leaked till now, this is compared to my previous fw, ie JM5 with RyanZa lagfix 2.3. The battery was fantastic with Eclair, but when come to Froyo, the battery drained. If heavy usage, i may need to charge it twice per day, if like wkend, i may survive thro saturday and sunday with Froyo. However with Eclair, it can last till monday night with a complete fully charge on Friday night. Knowing the shortcoming of Froyo, i kept a car charger, i will start charging it whenever i travel, i seldom leave it to charge overnight, as this will cause overcharged. Or if i m at office, i may connect it via USB, and this will also charge my phone. There is plenty of accessories to aids charging your phone. Therefore additional battery is seldom required.

OH MAH ANDROID Senior Member 3,177 posts Joined: Sep 2006 From: subway FTW	QUOTE(agn @ Oct 5 2010, 10:21 AM) i was using on the Eclair firmwares previously but they weren't any better (before I tried Froyo which I thought would have solved my battery woes). I guess if I was using the i9000 as a primary device, I'd use the more stable Eclair. I'm going to wipe and re-flash (and not download any third party apps at all) to see how the battery life is. At least this device is keeping me busy (and out of mischief) until the next device (like the Torch) is released that is!! Damn you gadgets! ok, here is my suggestion, seeing you have flashing many times before, do the wipe battstat method, i did this after every flash, or a week or two of usage. and i getting good batt life, really good in my opinion, QUOTE QUOTE(mahad13 @ Sep 12 2010, 09:30 AM) Nope.. you don't need Clockworkmod Recovery for that. What you need just Root and Terminal Emulator. The steps I've taken:- 1) Using Terminal Emulator, remove the /data/system/batterystats.bin 2) Turn off the phone and charge till full (the battery symbol fully green) 3) Turn on the phone and charge till 100% full. And yes, the result is good. I still have half of battery after 1 and 1/2 day usage include about 45 minutes Papago GPS and normal network, facebook and game. easier method: find root explorer or any explorer that can go into the system folder, then just navigate to /data/system/ and delete the batterystats.bin its the same thing, but still do the charging though, for my way, i charge until it full first, delete, then charge with turn on until full, turn off then charge until full, reason for doing this: its no use what power you battery have, if it thinks it have less power, then it will shutdown, this is wipe the memory of phone about the battery, so the real power is shown. i say this greatly improve my battery. another thing to remember is the usage, maybe you dont do calls, dont do sms or gaming much, but how about the data connectivity? wifi? how often you turn on your display, and are yous sure you off the gps or not. this suck batt as well. ow, and do remember that your launcher also sucks batt, i've use LG optimus launcher and my phone only last half of the day, it sucks 5% or so in one hour This post has been edited by silentser: Oct 5 2010, 11:15 AM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,961 posts Joined: Jan 2003	Another good news: http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/05/skype-a...till-wifi-only/ Skype is coming to Android, not limited to carriers' handsets only. Although many complained that can't login using SGS, and I can't download from the official website, hence I downloaded from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/down...eta_1.0.0.5.apk Can login fine though. But the UI need some tweaking. Hope they'll upgrade with option for customizing the UIs. The fonts too darn big and clogging up. Finally, conference chat is possible again. EDIT: apparently, the version I download is old old version of Beta. I can't get hold of the current version, which support notifications. This post has been edited by Harddisk: Oct 5 2010, 06:15 PM

Download MarketAccess: http://amip.tools-for.net/android/MarketAccess Start it up and backup your current SIM numeric (e.g. 52012 for Maxis) Switch to another provider, say T-Mobile US. MarketAccess will ask for Root Access, then proceed to emulate your chosen provider. Now, go to Market. Accept the T&C and you will see paid apps in USD. Next, go back to MarketAccess, and RESTORE your original SIM numeric. Once that's done, go to Market again and you should see paid apps in friggin' flyin' RM. Yay!

Have you emulated any non-Malaysian providers before and then reverted back to Digi? I didn't, this was the first time I've used MarketAccess. No emulating on boot. Just switched to Tmobile, loaded up market, then switched back to Maxis. It works for me.

Yes, I had emulated T-Mobile US before in order to buy apps/games. But normally, since MarketAccess wasn't configured to 'emulate at boot', I would have to at least launch it one time after every bootup/power-up to initiate emulation before opening the Market. I would generally leave it at T-Mobile US until the next boot cycle. If I didn't do the emulation, I would not see any paid apps in the Market. This time though, I just powered up and went to the Market directly and voila! paid apps/games showing up in approximate RM prices. This post has been edited by kmrdeva: Oct 5 2010, 07:03 PM

Gtalk was similar except that it allows user to log out. As for MSN talk, it had a notification (tray icon, for Windows) icon, at the same time it has ads, which probably sucks juice as well.

Yup, that was an old news. Garmin ditching mobile phone devices. That's why I was clinging hard to my Symbian's Garmin. But once you've used Garmin Nuvi, you wanna ditch Symbian's Garmin. It is simply too slow and always miss the turn. I've just tested routing using Maps [brut], from home to work. The pointer location was more updated than when I use Papago. When I'm under the bridge, it shows I'm under the bridge, unlike Papago. It only shows I'm under the bridge after I've went through under the overhead bridge. Besides that, Papago has a weird problem. It wasn't able to distinguish normal road & flyover, hence giving me wrong route from time to time. If anyone is heading towards Ara Damansara from Shah Alam/Subang Jaya via airport road, you'll notice this problem when you are at the Saujana traffic lights. Papago, at last minute, will ask you to go straight and take the long route using the roundabout, when I was about to reach the traffic lights. I'm not sure it's Papago problem, or the alignment of the map from MFM has lari. Cause like I said earlier, Papago only shows me going under the bridge when I've already came out from the bridge.

I think screen brightness settings does help saves battery. I remember at first I was using 42% brightness, then I change to 30% brightness, and I did notice a difference in battery life.... So does using 2G rather than 3G.

Google maps use data, which will suck u wallet dry.... I use both..... Papago X5 n Ndrive10. I use Brut, navigation is quite good but out of curiousity how often does one needs to use GPS Navigation? Do one still use it to go to work when they already know the directions to work? i probably only use it when i need to find a new place and when that happens, i always make preperations by using a PC to find the new location i am searching for. besides, the nevigation even on a Garmin device is not that accurate. many times when someone is using it i can find faster ways to reach the destination cos i know where are the short cuts and less jammed roads or roads that avoid toll. maybe at first when we get our sgs its nice to play with the gps but for me, i usually hardly use my gps for navigation cos im not going to a new place everyday, if anything we can roughly know how to get nearby the place we are looking for even without the gps, its just that when we are nearby we might need some help from the device but most of the time i find asking for directions the best bet

Very slight lag, but definitely better video and audio quality than the normal Digi-Digi video call. I didn't enable MSN, Yahoo, ICQ or GTalk protocols in Fring, so my video call was to another Fring user (also using SGS, but on Maxis 3G). I think calls from Fring to normal phones are supported (not sure audio only or video also), but needs $$.

My sgs is rooted and I've enabled the show hidden files option as well. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Samsung galaxy support Skype only when you have Froyo. this is confirmed. someone using froyo on their SGS and it worked. so lets wait for the official release or you may flash and root to the unofficial firmware.

This I know, mate. But its quite disappointing to say the least. I don't really feel like using beta or test firmware. But if beta apps, I'd give it a try any day. BTW Whatsapp rules!

Fring itself got the video call features. I believe if both phones are connected in HSPDA, the quality will definitely be better.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,961 posts Joined: Jan 2003	No comment on the earphones or sound quality from SGS. I find my N81 with the not-into-your-ear-canal earphones sounds better. Besides, accessing the player from SGS is not a walk in the park either. Still prefer the player on N81, easily accessible + got remote on the handsfree. So I use SGS for Radio most of the time. Besides, the notion of battery draining already put me off from using it as music player. sigh

Besides.... 1 thing for sure.... pluging the XB-500 to the PC and pluging it to SGS with 5.1 ... sounded extreamly diff.. for some reason the XB-500 doesnt goes well with the SGS...

Sadly the phone doesnt recognize it as a headset, and I cant use 5.1 and all the effects. Stereo BT works ok on my Jabra BT530. But since it's a single headset unit, I get 'stereo' on 1 ear only.. By default, upon pairing, the phone will see the headset as normal 'call headset' only. Can go to the options or properties in the paired devices list to enable stereo/music mode. Anyway, I usually listen to music or watch movies via wired earphones (in your ear type).. This post has been edited by kmrdeva: Oct 6 2010, 05:31 PM

QUOTE(lch78 @ Oct 6 2010, 10:13 AM) I think screen brightness settings does help saves battery. I remember at first I was using 42% brightness, then I change to 30% brightness, and I did notice a difference in battery life.... So does using 2G rather than 3G. yea, my brightness always very long unless i go outdoor but weather at my place here sucks so dont have much sunlight ... haha using with apn and 3g on ... QUOTE(Harddisk @ Oct 6 2010, 11:37 AM) Whoaaaa! You didn't put simcard in is it? My trusty Nokia, even without calls/sms, can hardly standby for 4days leh. yeap, an O2 pay-as-u-go simcard from england .. hehe ... my usage was as mentioned plus accumulated phone calls at most till 20mins ...

I can even get it at the hardware store near my house for < RM 10. ;-)
