Okay to somewhat answer this persons posts. and to inform unawares.

1st read the research post referenced in the OP.

the block size is the same, it only affects how it reads and not how it writes. therefore additional "wear" would be neglible at the most.

since its read ahead, its not going to have much of an effect on random/small files.

also its not an internal android setting. judging by the location of the setting its actually a kernel setting.

please feel free to correct me if im wrong, and provide a legit link i can learn off of.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] King_Rat:
Questions ;-P

app is always running in services ^^ so... does it need to edit 'read_ahead_kb at every boot?? i.e. you can't use it to change setting & then uninstall b/c file will revert to default??

++ If set to 2048 kb it makes music skip every so often... So I have mine set to 1024 kb & I don't get this issue :D

I am using this on an HTC Hero CDMA running CM 7.0.3. Seems to work well, except when I click it to persist the setting upon reboot, it doesn't appear to. After a reboot, the status always shows 128kB. Is it actually adding the script to init.rc to be applied on a reboot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] starandroid:
Sto usando questa tua utilissima app. Solo che ho trovato come valore dello stato a 3072kb mentre secondo la tua app. il valore migliore è 2048kb Non capisco allora come mai sto ottenendo un valore cosi grande?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ThrowingKs:
Is it possible for an update to set to 128? The HTC Evo works best under that setting, and it is no longer an option.

Diego & All,

I am trying to buy this app in the Premium version in the Google Play Store and it keeps declining the Card I always use. I can't purchase anything. Called my bank. They said they're not even seeing the attempts and my Card is Active and fine.

Is anyone else having a problem purchasing this app (or any app) from Play?

I wanted to get it thru Google Play, so it will recognize the purchase in the future and in case there's any updates.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zeuszoos:
Diego,

FYI, there is a problem (verified by Google Support) with purchasing the pay version of your app. I would have bought it today, but wasn't able to.

Just wanted to let you know.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ceanth:
Hi all,

I just bought myself a Samsung Galaxy S but i have two problems:

1. I charged the device overnight, I normally leave my phones on charge overnight but when i woke up i noticed that the device screen was on. I did some research and apparently before froyo there was an option to keep seen on while charging. This option isnt present anymore so I am assuming its on by default. Is there anyway of turining this option off?

Im worred about burning out my screen. :(

2. I have synced my device with google calendar but when i load the default client and edit an event i get the following: "Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use my calendar to sync with Kies"

Does that mean that I cannot use the default calendar application to edit events? Am i missing some sort of setting?

Thanks

-c
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ceanth:
guys i have fixed problem no1.

I installed extended controls and noticed there was a "screen awake" toggle. Clicking this does indeed disable screen awake while charging :)

I am giving the phone a full charge. I read somewhere that once the phone gets to 100% it will light up the screen to notify, so want to ensure that after getting this notification the screen will turn off again.

With this toggle off and the device charging I tried google maps, the screen turned off. However while charging and using google navigation the screen stayed on.

I have therefore created an almost transparent toggle widget which i intend to leave "off".

Still researching number 2. Hopefully my findings helps somebody out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ceanth:
I have now done some testing with No2.

I loaded up the Calendar application and received the sync error. Pressed ok on that and then edited an event. I loaded google calendar on my laptop and the changes were made :confused:

I tried creating and editing events on both laptop and device and changes were synced ok.

So I am confused, what exactly does the sync error mean if syncing is actually working?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tobleto_danillo:
Hay I just left my phone on over night to see what uses the most battery with me doing anything.

The screen used 30% of the battery, what is odd is that everything in the settings is off or set to the lowest it can be set to.

Can you guys help me with how to save more battery from the screen, this is silly that its using so much when it's not doing anything.

What can you think of to help?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
Are you unrooted? Do you have a custom ROM? Have you tried taking battery in and out? Or even when these things happened when I was not rooted I found turning airplane mode on and off to work or rebooting the phone as it might of just been a rogue app not allowing the phone to sleep.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

i would say it is a app,behaving badly ,( badly coded, battery drain? ) that's draining your battery like that ..?

i would suggest try "currentWidget " to check you battery drain ( just remeber to enable the log file, in settings !

my drain, if i leave it overnight,

say about, 9/10 hours, is about 3%/ 4% for this period ( 1mA /3mA a hour )

also try "SystemPanel " to monitor you applications over period of time .

i had same problems as you,

say 15/20% battery drain ,from time to time ,but everytime managed,to id the culprit , with above apps ..!!!

you can find both applications in the market ?

you also don't need, any root for these apps above .

good luck

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
regarding the OP, with a lot of the newer kernels the power monitoring stuff is snafu, confirmed by Mad-murdoch on cm, thus the reports of what's using the power are useless, although the overall usage is correct.

MS announced on MIX that they will expand the marketplace over some areas and also the ability where devs can sell apps.

I hoped they will do this more quickly when I bought my Omnia in December last year and I also expect they will add Slovenia on their map as it is in EU and the WP7 phones are sold OFFICIALLY by the carriers (badly ofcourse as there's no adverts as nobody would advert a smartphone without a store).

Well last week they announced few new countries and the only unsupported EU countries are Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Lithuania and Latvia (sorry if I forgot or count one too much =P..) It's total bullsh*t they don't support the whole EU.

I just can't watch how crapDroid phones are dominating here... even appstore is here for quite some time and we don't even have the iPhone officially sold (only iPods and now also iPads)

It's also stupid as Nokia is still the most selling phone brand here and with good ads WP7 could dominate here quickly.

Microsoft is definetly too slow !
[Windows Phone 7 General] Skumtomten:
Lol crapdroid...
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:

[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
That's actually not such a bad option if you pull it off. US account will always give you more features, apps, and at a smaller price (there's no VAT, among other things). You'll only get proper Zune services with a US account.

Otherwise you'll have to repurchase apps. That sounds silly but it's just 100 bucks or so, not that big of a deal.

Also, sometimes when they expand their services to other markets they let you transfer your account to your real location (i.e. that happened with XBox Live recently). But you can't count on it of course.

Oh, and one more thing. I made a mistake of setting up an Apple account giving a real location. Apart from not getting a number of apps (i.e. the Rage game) as a result, I ran into much more useless rankings and user reviews. A lot of people complain about great apps solely for the reason they didn't understand the English description or some such nonsense.

pls help thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diiiooon1989:
i think its better that you first go to stock rom xwjs3 with the boot loaders.

you can download them from sam firmware,

and then check in kies the csc must be normal again, if so you can flash the rom you want..

i had the same problem and i think it is because with xxjvk you get the new boot loaders, and you must go back to the old one for you're rom

and one from nitr8 : EZbase

these roms are there for those problem that you have.

they wil restore everything

mayb you can check in those threads and find a answer there

hi bro i tried finding but with no luk

do u mind guide me with this

how to get xwjs3 with the boot loaders.>??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diiiooon1989:
yeah well i think that the best thing you can do is go to samfirmare.com

download there the xwjs3 firmware

this has the bootloader in it and wil bring everything to stock rom

you know how to flash that true odin?

once you have done that hang youre phone on kies and check the csc, it should say no (kor) more.

then you can flash youre firmware and it should be oke ( at least that helped for me )

i hope this wil help you!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
A flash wont fix a cracked camera lens .

Kies cannot deal with a rom that does not match the correct product codes and hardware ID of the original device network data .

If you require Singtel firmware you need to source it from somebody that backed it up as you i take it did not back up your firmware .

Alternative is to try the Kies registry spoofing methods posted on xda or the app from the market .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrddral:
If any of the firmwares overwrote your product code (not the salescode in the CSC!) then the only solution I know about is to put a factory firmware which has lower version than the latest available through kies (that to make sure kies can be connected and the fw updated) and as a second step you have to manually edit the nv_data.bin file in the efs folder(make a backup before you do this!) with a HEX editor. Find the wrong product code the jist replace the letters, write it back to the efs folder and reboot. You should be fine.

And don't forget to flash a carrier specific CSC via Odin!

Dear Frnds

i have updated my g3 i5801 via kies

some bugs

Camera not working

Swipe not working

& how can i move apps to data card

can i root this now.....

help..
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
Yes...You can root this... I would suggest doing a factory reset before rooting

Then root the phone

Remove swype using titanium

install swype beta

Camera doesnt work if wireless networking is selected in location and security

You can use a data2sd script for that
[Galaxy 3 General] lovelyample:
Hi jaskirat

if i do factory reset then will it delete my all apps that i installed in phone

what is data2sd script

is that any type of apps

sorry i m new to this ...
[Galaxy 3 General] kaman237:
Hi lovelyample

Data2sd script moves your /data partition from internal memory to a partiton on sd card. It allows you to install more apps on your phone.

If you will do factory reset you will lose all your apps and settings.
[Galaxy 3 General] lovelyample:
frnds i have reset my factor setting

now how to root this fone

i have tried z4root but its not working

superoneclick not opening on my pc (XP) give error "CLR error :80004005"

help me
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Use super one click 1.7
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
You should use SuperOne Click 1.7 or 1.8 to root your phone.

Factory reset should be done by using the code *2767*3855# and yes you will loose all applications after that. To save them you can root the phone now, then run the following commands from adb

go to adb folder

adb shell

su

cd /sdcard

mkdir apps <you can choose any folder name>

cp apps

pwd <this should give you /mnt/sdcard/apps>

cp /data/app/*.* /sdcard/app

All your applications will be backed up in apps folder in sdcard. Note that when you partition the sdcard for data2sd, it will wipe data on sdcard. so make sure that you backup your sdcard

I personally use lagfix and data2sd created by Apollo. Mostly data2sd doesnt show correct partition size in task manager but this one does.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11308743&postcount=170

Make sure that you read the process throughly and backup your SD Card before running this
[Galaxy 3 General] lovelyample:
Hi jaskirat

i have root the phone enable livewallpaper on it

download the lagfix folder (mentioned as above link)

now how can i do partition & lagfix
