Good God, Someone please sticky this man's thread!! , THIS. I repeat. THIS is what people with ignorance need to read, Sorry as that might sound harsh. But it saves 50 useless threads from being made.

Also a bigass thumbs up from me. And a 5* Rating.

I know 3 messages about GB release for i9003:

1. Samsung Mobile India said at May about release in middle of July.

2. Samfirmware.com after posting XXKP7 ment that stable GB for i9003 will be at September.

3. Samsung Mobile Russia said several days before that work is going and they expect the release of GB at neareast weeks, but they can't say the date.

That's why I posted the worst expectation.

hey falex change threas name from faq to post ur questions here...today someone has made a new thread for asking questions.

these stupid people are just useless.so please change the thread title to post all ur questions here. it would be great
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I've changed it. But I think not many people from this forum read the stickies.

For example at the top of all subsections inside "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" section we can see the sticky "[NEW!] SGS Forum Etiquette [i9000] [i9003] [i9000B] [i9000T] [i9000M] [M240S] [02B] +". How many people read and follow instruction in this topic? :)

I have rooted my Asus TF, Put on the H 3.1 os, used Clemsyn Blades kernel, running very nicely. I have rooted it, and uninstalled crap like facebook, books, splashtop etc...lot of useless bloatware is out...However here is the problem........LOW MEMORY....This machine has ram of 1GB, and only 800mb shows, so almost 200 for the GI, and out of that 800, about 400mb is always used, despite using various app killers, I think we should be able to get it to about 200mb used? anyone know where so much of ram is bieng eaten

My question to you great knowledgeable friends is;

1) how to get rid of more useless apps eating memory

2) does using a different launcher reduce ram eating?

3) is it possible to achieve about 200-300mb consistent ram?

This is an awsome machine, I think more tweks we can make is super. I have a Samsung GS2, I have removed most of the stock stuff on it and set up my ownlauncher etc. It runs with amazing memory, 500mb free, and awsome graphics interface. Less nonsense.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jonitfcfan:
If you haven't done so already you could use Titanium Backup to remove more stuff (including system apps) since you're rooted. I would advise caution however in case you remove the wrong thing. Perhaps someone else can post regarding which particular system apps are safe to remove, as I haven't expreimented with this myself.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MasterfullDON:
Ive done that and removed about 10 items. Its running well at 1.4GHz but only problem too much ram usage.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
He could just freeze them first and play with the tf a couple of days and if there are no problems, delete them.

Removing junk isn't a bad thing to do, but in my experience, app killers do more bad than good in android. Other than in windows, you don't need tons of free ram to run apps smoothly. Android has a great ram management that fills your ram with apps for fast access, and closes the least used/needed when another app requests more ram. So if you use an app killer, your tf will have more to do with restarting the apps you just closed and your performance will actually decrease. Google it and you'll know what I mean.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
As i said before, much ram usage isn't necessarily a bad thing. It only eats performance if a running app is badly coded and doesn't give its ram free when required. Then you better kill this specific app instead of autokilling stuff. Well coded apps won't eat your performance, no matter how much ram is used.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] devilpera64:
300Mb oof ram are dedicated to Nvidia Tegra 2. For this reason you read "only" 700Mb. Maybe in near future we will able to allocate more memory than 256Mb to our Tegra 2 :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
memory usage doesn't mean too much now if the app/programe is properly coded, when needed, android should be able to release them on the fly......

same goes to my windows 7 machine, it's got 8 gig memory but the free memory always remains under 500M because the system is using them to cache most recently used applications.

Constantly clearing memory will not help too much, and believe or not, it worsens both the performance and the battery life..

but again, android is not as robust as windows in the terms of memory management, so it's not a bad idea to occasionally take a look at the actual memory usage but just don't go too excessive...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Midda:
Screwing around with app-killers is never a good idea. Are you actually experiencing issues due to insufficient RAM? I've never had an issue with RAM on my Transformer. Android is much better at handling its memory than people are, let it do its thing.

And for the record, RAM is there to be used. It's the fastest memory a device has, so the more it makes use of, the better. If something else needs more RAM, Android will flush out something that doesn't need it.

I think app-killers are one of the biggest issues with Android, in that people seem to think they're necessary. Unless you actually have some app that's misbehaving or has a memory-leak or something, you shouldn't ever really need to manage your running applications. Just leave it all alone for a while and see how you go.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] poltak11:
Perfectly said. Don't mess your Transformer around with "Task Manager"-type apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MasterfullDON:
not at all. The machine is fast, its very quick and loads things quickly. The only time I had problem is using logmein, it crashed and said out of memory...I was a bit perplexed. I cleared a lot on my SGS2, and it was much faster.

Let me know any ideas, otherwise, as suggested, I will see how it goes :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
From my previous experience with Android devices, it's nearly impossible to increase the amount of free ram. I've tried, and only found one solution that I'll talk about later.

This isn't a bad thing. Ram is not CPU usage, and ram is going to use roughly the same amount of electricity regardless.

What android does is fill up the ram with programs that you will potentially use. That way when you want to use the program, it's already loaded in memory. When you load another program into memory, say a game, it will close apps to make room for the new app.

If you really want more memory, the closest thing is a swap file or partition. I use one on my phone, and it helps a good bit. Don't know if it would help the TF101, since it already has 1GB ram.

If you are still set on more free ram, try a program like auto memory manager (there is also another program very similar, has a blue fish for a logo but I forget the name). This doesn't kill apps in memory. Instead it changes the the when android closes programs in memory based on how much free memory is available and the priority of the program. I used it before on my phone with pretty good success, but now I use a swap file instead.

Right now I don't use a swap file or memory manager on my tf101, sine it runs great without it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MasterfullDON:
Thanks for all your responses.

I think this article should explain how Android 2.x operates. Even though the article is not about Honeycomb (Android 3.x), I doubt Google has changed how it manages memory in Honeycomb.

Though I like the 2.3 features, my Desire Z hangs almost daily after upgrading this week. If I don't touch the phone for about an hour, it hangs. I can't switch it on anymore and have to take the battery out. Anyone else having this problem? Hasn't been documented yet.

So I am sitting and attempting to watch some videos at work while I tether from my phone to my galaxy tab. Next thing I know my typically solid speedy connection starts to flicker. Downloads are next to impossible and then websites stop loading. I then thought perhaps its just the app and I then try it on the phone and its dead too. The 4G was full strength but there was no data feed. The only "fix" was killing the radio and starting it back up again. Note I even reflashed the radio just incase with the same results and I havent done any new rom or radio flashing since 1.8.6's release.

I finally decided to step back to MR2 which seems to be working perfectly fine. the speeds are all back to normal with no random outtages. Anyone else have a MR2.5 issue last night/this morning?
[Thunderbolt General] EvilDobe:
Good luck getting a response. This happens to me all the time on BAMF (and a few others) and no one seems to know why. The only ROM so far this hasn't happened to me on is Gingeritis 3D. Everything seems to be normal on the phone (ie 3 or 4G signal is strong) but there is no data connection. So far the only link I can find is it seems to happen more when I'm on WiFi but it does happen when I'm not. I started noticing the problem when I was at work and getting e-mails on my PC but not my phone. Sometimes disabling the radio works or it gets stuck on the re-enable & a reboot is required. I randomly Google a solution to the issue but all I can find is more people with the same issue all not getting an answer. All of this happens with no rhyme or reason - so good luck getting an answer. Hopefully you'll get better results than I did.

Hey guys!

I''ve been playing a little with Photoshop today. So I have made my idea how I would like to have a appdrawer. This is just my idea, but I think it would be nice to be able to put the all the apps somewhere. I like to have a clean and minimal homescreen, and I feel that putting a lots of apps there takes away this feeling.

What do you think? I think I saw something like this before somewhere, but I can't find it.

Thoughts please :)
[Galaxy S II General] xdafun4all:
i was thinking of getting the sensation but after many complaints of users from the same problems that is going to annoy me like touch screen unresponsive - lag - lock screen problems - bad software by htc

so i m now thinking to get the SG2

but i need the phone for the following reasons :-

1- fast speed and fast performance "no lag at all"

2- games play well on it

3- average battery life

4- good camera

5- sound quality

6- optimized stock software "very important"

and after a small tour in sg2 forums i found some issues people annoyed from it and it is not easy to be ignored

1- many talks about battery issue while some has good battery life and it has resolved ??? Q

2- pink spot on camera ..... does it appear while taking the photo in camera app only or in the taken photo or recorded video ???

3- i was surprised when i saw a complaint of some lag in games ???

4- a small lag for 2 sec after moving the immage of unlocking screen ??

these are 4 issues i want to be sure about and then i can get the phone :D
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Im on my second SGS2 since the first was stolen after 3 weeks.. all i can say this phone is the best smartphone that exists. However only an idiot would go with touchwiz. That **** is so outdated and ugly, i almost puked when i first got the phone.

Here is what you need to go through if you want to make SGS2 the most awesome phone there is (takes about 20 mins and no rooting is required):

-install GO launcher

-install HD live wallpaper for GO launcher

-install GO SMS

-install GO contacts

-install Widgetlocker

-tweak GO launcher to look how you like

There is absolutely no lag, but there was some with touchwiz since the phone comes loaded with 100 widgets on and Touch**** is very unoptimized still.

All of the above apps are free and updated very very frequently

Games play very well on it (lol it has power like no other).

Camera is very good, not the best, but one of the best in the android world.

Sound is better than good although not the best but almost.

Like i said, i had one for 3 weeks, it got stolen and i bought a new one straight away. Didn't even consider anything else. Nothing comes close to SGS2!

Edit * overall it's the best phone. Nokia might have better cameras but the software is laughable. IOS is stupidly closed and you can't make it really work how you want (customization). SGS2 is the best of Android phones by far!
[Galaxy S II General] stoolzo:
Hi, you are always always going to find problems with which ever phone you go with, sometimes to you can do too much research. This phone is bloody fantastic, I love everything about it. It kicks the crap out of pretty much everything I thow at it, videos, games apps. Battery life isnt fantastic but what to you expect for a dual core CPU running a 1.2 gig, this is laptop territory.

Most vendors will give you a week, to two week grace on your purchase, get it try it, thats by far the best option.

I came from a HD2, wasn't sure how much of an upgrade it was going to be, I also thought I'd miss the sheer number of ROMS available on the HD2. This phone is in a different league to most other on the market and there are now loads of cooked ROMS to choose from. Got mine Free for £25/month, haven't looked back.
[Galaxy S II General] xdafun4all:
and so what about battery issue ??? with moderate and heavy use how long does it works ??

and pink spot ..... this spot appear on the recorded video or taken pic ???
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
There is no pink spot. There was no pink spot on the first SGS2 and not on this second one either. If there is you can take it back and demand a new one immediately.

The battery of my first one lasted maximum of 2 days and some hours.. i can't remember exactly. The second one lasted the same until yesterday when i installed some apps that made something go wrong and it only lasted 5 hours and that was on the night when i didnt even touch the phone. I think some process was left running since i saw from the report that system took 75% of battery by itself at night. I think the app was theft aware 2 (it hides itself as system app so thief's don't delete it). I post this info so that people realize that battery drain is mostly caused by apps from the market.

TL;DR: battery lasts 2 days - 1 day heavy use
[Galaxy S II General] folexzy:
believe me ,you're as right as your complain but not so perfect not having it.

it is the best smart phone out there now, am not a sales rep neither do i want to convince you but nothing come so close to perfect in the phone world than the sgs2.

all phones got there one problem or the other but you will surely enjoy this one.........read alot about this and that on the forum also till i got mine and wasn't having those problem,dont ask me what i did to my phone cos i did nothing, just download batiste rom and love it .go for it i advice but let the choice be yours
[Galaxy S II General] xdafun4all:
ok thanks guys

but another Q .... about build quality and heat generation

the outer layer of the body of the phone is easy to be removed by scratches or it is fine and durable ?? this is a major factor that makes me toward sensation first

and what about heat generation is it a related to battery drain and solved or not ??

and does the heat affect the device ??? or it is in the normal range

i know it is normal to phone to get hot when charging or using gps or other hard work but my Q is the generated heat is tooo high that annoy or not ??
[Galaxy S II General] arabbitte:
Try Samsungdive - doesn't eat the battery and it's built in!
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Well, I started off thinking the SGS2 was not for me, then it grew on me, probably Android more than the phone.

Battery life started off pretty bad, but once you sort of a few things like the AP news widget that drains and uses data, etc...Also my battery lasts and charges faster each day, I guess the battery takes a while to get to its optimum, at first I was struggling with the battery life, now I am as happy as I was with my Iphone4.

Games don't lag at all, well at least not for me, I have now rooted mine so as I can use the chainfire 3D drivers to be able to play Tegra games, which run very smoothly indeed, just wish there were more games, but then that's not the devices fault.

I quite like TouchWiz, works well for me, but now I have just read about this Go UI thingy, I might try it out. Something I am finding more and more each day is how terribly addictive playing about with your Widgets and homescreens is, so much to play with and again, not had any lag whatsoever.

The camera is brilliant, much better then the old Iphone4's faster, clearer, quicker to autofocus, can't work out where this pink stuff is though, my photos seem fine.

Music, I use the built in player make sure 5.1 is set and download free Equalizer from the market, simply perfect sounds.

Another thing that I have not found as well is this wake up lag, perhaps I am so used to the slower performing Iphone 4 that I just don't notice these things.

If you want more imaginative and creative games and applications Android is not for you (but its getting there), go the route of Iphone4.

But if you want a super fast, stable, freedom to do what you like, OK games and Apps, general brilliant allround device, the SGS2 is for you.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Build quality - IMO : It's very good, there was a video on youtube showing the outer layer being really stretched and it was still like stock after the stretch. And it's anti-stratch(idk how to say), I got no scratch.

Heat generation, while charging it can get very hot, and maybe it get hots sometimes while playing, but I have the feeling it's gone after some times, or you get used to it. It's really bearable.

Battery drain is, for me, solved in XXKG1. Though I can get only 4 hours screen-on time(that's enough for me) with auto-brightness(3 approx. with max brightness), the phone can last a day and a half for me.
[Galaxy S II General] thegodth:
I think all smartphone have battery drain problem.

For me... in standby mode 2 days (received some calls)

and 6-8 hours maybe less for heavy use (games+wifi+gps)

but you can use Power saving mode function to save your battery life.

I got the problem about pink spot on my camera but someone said it will be fixed when new rom available.

"a small lag for 2 sec after moving the immage of unlocking screen" - I saw new 2.3.4 has fix this problem.
[Galaxy S II General] buddy01:
Dive dies when you change sim. I had Dive installed on stolen SGS2 and all it did was say "SIM card has changed" and it didn't give the new phone number of the thief's or nothing. SamsungDive is useless.

Theft Aware still works after Sim change and is way way better in functions.. im not ready to uninstall it yet, but hope to find that the drain is caused by something else.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny_ftm:
1- this phone is lag free even on stock TW4. But Launcher Pro Plus is one of teh best alternative launchers for people that liek to change. And LPP won't affect your battery at all

2- I don't game but it is supposed to be one of the best gaming phones. Phone compatibility shouldn't be an issue as it is one of the top selling android phones

3- Battery life is great compared to most smartphones. It will also depend on your use of it. Most phones will be behind it though with such a screen.

4- Camera is one of the best on smartphones. But, of course, don't expect such a small lens to give you something even near to a DSLR or even a high end compact digital, ok!!

5- Sound quality: just like for point 4: don't expect it to replace dedicated hardware for music amateurs (not the RnB deaf generations :D)

6- I used it all the way on KE2 and since few days official KF3. Stay official and you'll have less issues if you like stock

1- Just select apps you need and don't install every freeware you see just to "consume" apps. Limit auto updating apps, limit auto-starting apps, avoid live widgets and limit most widgets. Just general good sense rules like with any OS in the world.

2- People saying they don't have the issue just don't know how to reproduce it. Yes, it has it, like the SGS1 I tested and many other smartphones. It will appear under some special circumstances. As I said, it's a very small lens and will have some limits under many circumstances, like it is with any lens if you know a little about photography. The spot won't ever bother you most of the times.

3- See my answer above about games.

4- This issue is absent. Most people in forums install any thing on their phone and then complain...
