I've had my N1 for .. almost a year now.. considering custom firmware :] which do you guys suggest is the best? pros/cons to each? which one do you guys find that run the best on the N1? i tried asking a friend but hes never had the N1 so he cant say much... what best to ask this but here with you guys :D

there's not much i really look for my phone to have but better and fast performance... i want to be able to disable data but be able to receive AND send MMS (currently with stock 2.3.4, i cant manage to figure out to send too... using T-mobile... searching all over the place but cant find it) the ever re-occuring space issue... i have like very limited apps... but im always down to like 20mb internal space >=[ ... and is there something that would help me save texts and be able to see them on the computer in its each individual conversation? currently using SMS backup & restore.. is there anything better than that? or would using a custom firmware make it faster? xD i currently have 20K+ texts... when i talk to someone who has 6k+ for themselves, it takes a few seconds for anything to show up... then if i send texts, it takes a few seconds to come up and start sending...

i looked at the development part of the N1 section.. theres SOOO many roms... x_X
[Nexus One General] eLar19:
only a word: cyanogenmod. this is the best custom firmware for n1, imho. with this, the performance are comparable to stock desire hd, it's simply very fast ;)
[Nexus One General] galgamo:
N1 -- Roms

Hi!!

If you want the best results use cyanogenmod

if you want to try something different and also very good use MIUI

good luck!!
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Oh, a very innovating question. There haven't been 20000 threads on the subject already...

Well, your choice is between CyanogenMod and MIUI, in many of their variants. Check everything and decide yourself. Unfortunately, proper Sense ROMs aren't available for N1.
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
So you want to able to send and receive mms without data. Maybe you should actually search for how mms actually works instead.

On that note. Can anybody tell me how I can get on the internet with out using a active internet connection?
[Nexus One General] porkchopbolt:
Blimey, there's no need to crucify the guy just for asking a question!

Well I've enjoyed any ROMS made by Evil, his sense roms are really good. For MIUI roms, I find Rodriguez a quality dev, he looks after his roms well. If you go by the reputation of the dev, you can more or less be sure you're getting a decent rom that'll be well supported. That's what's important to me. But I tend to agree with the others too, cyanogenmod is awesome, gives you so much functionality too.

[General Questions and Answers] Bluegrassman:
My job has very strict security and I am not allowed to bring my phone inside, so my options are leave it on the car or leave it at home. I have to travel a fair distance to my job, so prefer not to leave it at home, but I am concerned about extreme heat and cold in the car affecting my phone. Any suggestions for protecting the phone while left in the car? My work days can range anywhere from 8 1/2 hours to 16+ hours.
[General Questions and Answers] Bluegrassman:
Nobody has any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] Bierce22:
the heat itself shouldnt do anything if your phones just hybernating i suggest just putting it under the seat or the glove box were the sun cant get to it.
[General Questions and Answers] dx0:
I think the thing you might need to be concerned with is the battery... extreme temperatures can adversely affect battery life/longevity. Would you be able to just bring the battery in if you removed it from your phone? I imagine the security issue with the phone primarily has to do with photographing or otherwise transmitting private information, such as trade secrets, right?
[General Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Yea, I can't see any real issues with leaving your phone in a car with hot or cold conditions. As said above, it *may* affect battery life, but even that would be minimal, barely nothing.

If you're concerned, wrap it in a blanket or towel, this will stop it getting either extremely hot, or extremely cold.
[General Questions and Answers] Zumpel42:
I also think, that it could get too hot. I would put it in a cooler bag. (without cool akkus or something like that.. just in the isolated bag (you know what I mean ? Those for a few beer cans.... )

But this also shouldn't be necessary, if you place your phone sunsafe...
[General Questions and Answers] Bluegrassman:
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, the phone ban is for the reason above. It shouldn't be an issue to take the battery though. I will also try an insulated cooler. I always use a sunshade as well. Even worse than worrying about my phone is the agony of being separated from it for such long hours at a time, lol.

Thanks again!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Horoscope:
Hello People,

All of a sudden i am facing a issue with my SGS i9000,

My phone turns the screen OFF when is start a call, Dialing is OK, and the screen goes blank when I hold the phone up to my ear. But at the end of the conversation the screen remains blank, Pressing any buttons wont turn the screen back ON.... after a min or so te screen comes back.. or even when i connect my phone to a charger it works....

what might be the issue? has anyone faced similar problems with their SGS?

I hope there is a solution for this, even the warranty is over for this phone.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] modcube:
Have you found a solution? I have the same issue, I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem. I got back to stock rom (froyo JPY) but that didn't solve the problem...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bansheezzzz:
I had the exact same problem and symptoms as you two described a few months ago with my I9000m. So I got fed up and opened it up and found the ribbon cable connecting the speaker and proximity/light sensor partially torn which is why the speaker was working while the proximity/light sensor was not.

You can also try Z-DeviceTest from the market. There's a proximity/light sensor test.

If you've still got a warranty on the thing, I would take it back to shop and have them deal with it. If your warranty is out then you have to do what I did and buy the part and replace it myself.

Here's the good news though. The module itself is pretty cheap at least on ebay.com (search i9000 speaker parts).

I replaced the one on my I9000m and bought another one of these (one to use as spare) because those ribbon cables seem so flimsy (you'll see what I'm talking about if you actually open it up and see for yourself :eek:).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] modcube:
Thanks! I don't have warranty so I've bought it on a Chinese website ~10$ with shipping costs :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LiverpoolFCfan:
I have seen this a few times. What appeared to work for me was simply covering the proximity sensors again with my finger for a second, then uncovering again. I say "appeared" as the timing could be a coincidence - but it has happened maybe 3 or 4 times on my phone - and I waited it out the first time, and each of the other times I did the above and it came right back.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] csiwei:
Has anyone tried to change the sound of the keyboard? I would very much prefer the "touch whiz touch" sound instead of the HTC-ish keyboard sound.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] strifej:
Replace the .wav files in res/raw folder with your own custom .wav files (rename apk to zip file, open with any zip program to replace the .wav).

Rename back to apk.

Then you have to resign the apk. Google for help on that.

Hi is there anyone notice about the music apps frequently change or stop the music automatically when you lock the phone?

And at times it automatically call my phone contacts...
[HTC Sensation] Nixit12:
Not to completely hijack, but I too have a question about a music player and don't want to put up a new thread:

Does anyone have a recommendation for an app that is: low-resource, devoid of lockscreen freezing/dialing (no exp with this, but above poster made it sound terrible), and supports control via a2dp/bluetooth?

I frequently use my phone as my GPS in my car and would like to be able to run a music app in the background that I can control from a bluetooth headset. I assume that there are some "simple" music apps that require fewer resources in the background.

Does anyone have a recommendation? Is the sensation powerful enough that any old app should run fine in the background?

Best,

NR
[HTC Sensation] StructuralHazard:
PowerAMP hands down is the best application I have used, and trust me, I lost count of how many different ones I have tried. It isn't cheap though at $4.99, but give the 2 week FULL trial a test drive and see if you like it. I liked it so much I bought it. It has all the features you requested above.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashenwreck:
Question: I'm not being allowed to create new folders in Miui, anyone might know why? Or is anyone have the same issue? I'm able to create an initial folder and I have placed several apps in there. But when I go to create a new folder, it creates (essentially) a duplicate folder which then I cannot delete as it has the same apps that was included in the previous folder.

Do I just have to create several empty folders right off the bat? Doesn't seem like this should be necessary.

Edit: Ok, cannot create multiple different (content-wise) whatsoever. Using 1.7.15, btw.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepy_76:
I was having the same problem on my Nexus S. So I tried the same thing you did: I setup 4 different folders and copied an app to the first, another to the second, etc. All the apps showed in each folder... :mad: I then moved them back out, re-added separate apps in each folder and it seemed to work at that point. I closed and opened the folders a few times and even added a new folder, put in another separate app in that folder and so far, no duplication. Trying to organize now and hopefully it doesn't screw everything up when I'm all done. Seems like it's just a glitch.

UPDATE: about 5 folders in, it started happening again, so I moved the apps out and restarted and then moved them back in and no duplication. This is driving me nuts, if I weren't an OCD case.

Known Problem

I was reading up on this on the MIUI forums yesterday. It is a known issue that did indeed crop up on the 7.15 build (My birthday killed it!).

Workaround: Create a folder, reboot. The folder will be empty. Yes, I know this is annoying. Sorry. That's what's available. Thankfully I only need about 4 folders, so I only did 4 reboots. lol.

Anyways, they are working on it. That's the happy answer. Somebody linked to a site with crazy text where they are talking about the glitch, but I think it was in Chinese, and I didn't feel like going through a Google Translate.

Hi, first of all I love my SGS2, this is my 3rd android phone and I couldn't be happier. This phone is great. BUT... There's one thing that's bugging me. Every rom and kernel I've tried have the same problem. Lag. I'm NOT talking in games or the loading of applications, because this phone FLIES through those tasks. It's small areas where there shouldn't be the smallest amount of lag i.e. scrolling and the homescreen. I hope someone could shed some light on this for me. Everyone talks about how great this phone is and how there's absolutely no lag. Well have you used an iphone. Their like butter. We've got a phone that ****s power and they've got weak hardware in comparison. What gives?

Thanks for reading... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonoball88:
ive noticed if i have the phone plugged into a different charger, ( non oem samsung) there is alot of lag on the phone, its almost impossible to type cause its so annoying! lol its weird cause i thought it was the rom and tried flashing a few roms and it was all the same! found out it was because i was using a htc charger instead of the samsung one. weird cause its the same charging specs and a micro sd cable is all the same!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw2:
Yea I've heard of that. It's indeed weird. I think there is something about it in the manual as well if I remember correctly (yes I read the manual for once!). Any ideas on the home screen/scroll lag?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantzzz:
I'm only on 2.3.3 ROM stock, and it's been great so I don't find the need to flash to other custom ROMS yet

The Touchwiz homescreen for me is buttery smooth. I mean, I've loaded alot of widgets on the thing and it's still smooth

ADW Launcher Ex homescreen scrolling is laggy for me though. No idea why, as the rest of the functions fly (ie app drawer scrolling, app opening, etc)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sept20:
i also feel there's a tiny lag sometimes... don't know why... btw,i'm using go launcher
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw2:
I'm also on stock 2.3.3 now and I think I'm going to stay with stocks for a while. I've used different launchers including ADW Launcher Ex and Go launcher Ex but they all have lag at some area. @rantzzz have you used an iphone before? how would you compare the homescreen to our S2. @sept20 can you please look under the battery and see where your phone was made? I.e. mine was made in korea. Thank-you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantzzz:
Comparing the iPhone homescreen scroll and the Touchwiz 4.0 scroll on SGS2, the iPhone is much much smoother

But the stock Touch wiz 4.0 isn't a slouch also. There is a noticeable fraction of a lag when you swipe, but nothing too big
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw2:
Thanks for confirming rantzzz. Yeah that fraction of lag when you swype is what I'm talking about. I also experience something similar in my apps drawer. I just can't figure out why Samsung couldn't have optimized something so small and argumentatively most important since it's the portal to everything you do on your phone! Maybe they will fix this in a future update or possibly in ICS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esk02k:
Well i noticed if i use the 2x4 weather widget i get lag scrolling, shrinking it down and i lost the lag. I dunno if this will help you guys but worth a pop.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
OP, Can you give us a full list of all software installed on your device, because I've NEVER seen lag on my phone. I've used TouchWiz, Launcher Pro and have finally settled on Go Launcher, and this phone makes the iPhone 4 looks slow and tedious, so I can only suggest that you have some software that is causing problems.

Edit: Okay, it doesn't make the iPhone 4 look slow. But it is clearly faster and smoother.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw2:
A list of software is pointless because I'm experiencing the problem at absolute stock. Whether it is my stock vodafone rom or a stock custom rom. If you wouldn't mind johncmolyneux could you please look under your battery and see where your phone was made? Also what rom and kernel you are using? Thank-you :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
I have to disagree here, my mate has an iPhone4 and compared to my GS2 it's definitelty not as smooth,my GS2 is much faster too and the display whilst good on both phones is definitely better on mine even my mate (relucantly:)) admitted that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
Scrollable wallpapers and live wallpapers kill the smoothness. Have a stationary wallpaper that doesn't scroll as you swipe and you'll see how smooth this baby is.

iPhone's launcher seems smoother because it doesn't let you install any wallpaper that'll slow down the homescreen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damieno218:
I believe it is smooth. My friend (Iphone 4) user actually used my phone and he said that it was smoother and faster than his Ip4. But then again, actually at that time I just purchased it like an hour before. So it was really stock brand new and I have not actually installed anything yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamthecosmos:
I think the word 'lag' is misleading. Lag would actually imply that when you swipe the screen that it takes a moment to react. Do you really have that problem? I do not. The only time I could say I have with lag is the home button reaction speed - which isn't lag, it's because of the voice activation feature.

HOWEVER ...

What I would say is that slowly swiping between screens is far from buttery smooth - I would describe it as slightly juddery. If you swipe fast you barely notice, and if you scroll through the dots it's beautifuly smooth and impressive! BTW I've had 3 different firmwares and casual screen swiping has been equally unsmooth on all..

My question to all is... If you casually/slowly swipe between screens, do you find the animation smooth or a little juddery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryptoner:
ok, some lag is there, but yesterday when i tried miui, and there was absolutely no lag...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Mine was made in Korea and I'm using stock ROM (XWKE2) that has been rooted.

I've been so happy with stock ROM that I'm not seeing any need to put anything custom on it.

Hope you find the cause of your problem mate, because your phone is definitely not living up to its possibilities! Any chance of a video of your lag?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Folks - most of you are probably aware but for those who are not get the spare parts app and set both transition and windows animations from normal to fast and you'll see a noticeable difference is smoothness even more so if you experience lag in your phone.

Definitely recommended.:)
