[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobraromania:
Hi guys. I'm new here and i need your help. Last night i upgrated my samsung galaxy i9000 from 2.2 froyo to gingerbread 2.3. I also rooted my phone with CF-ROOT By ChainFire and after that, trying to instal voodoo control but when i enter in the application i see nothing just this :

So, actual kernel version of my phone is : I9000XJVK

And build number : GINGERBREAD.XWJVB

I don't know what to do, i'm not so familiar with android formalities. What to do to not broken my phone ? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
does that kernel support voodoo sound? by the look of it it doesnt, if that is the case you need to flash a kernel that does support it(most)...and then all will be good...go to the thread for that kernel and in #1 or 2 it should state the kernel spec:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
Or You need to buy Voodoo Control Plus and Have root'ed phone for install module ;) from app
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobraromania:
Can you give me the exactly link please ? So i can be sure what to do
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
i would do as per other guys post....forgot that the paid voodoo app installs the drivers for you, so well worth the investment imho, :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
If u want kernel with voodoo, you must flash a JVQ or JVR, because all kernel's are on new source's and for 2.3.4 no for 2.3.3.

For JVQ/R are a lot of kernel's with voodoo sound support ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobraromania:
I just installed voodoo control plus and now it works but i have one last question. Now i have 2 voodoo controls apps. One of them have to delete ?

P.s : for voodoo lagfix where i can find it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
uninstall without plus in name.

For voodoo lagfix, you need a kernel with voodoo lagfix build in it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobraromania:
In this case, where to go on this forum to get exactly what i need because i'm so noob.

Btw, thank you very much

Ok, now to ensure i don't make a mistake. This kernel i will flash it with chain fire app and is only for vodoo sound right ? No others modif ?iers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
it have voodoo sound, and voodoo lagfix
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobraromania:
Got it, flash it. Now i have a dumb question, how to observe that lagfix works ? And i was knowing thats exist a voodoo aplication for hardware video ?

Once again thank you for your patience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dfolt:
Turn on the Voodoo Control App, then you see at down Lagfix Control, or something like this, and Lagfix status: if enable ext4, if disable rfs only.

for thanks u have button :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobraromania:
I see on settings > about phone, i have the dark core kernel now. I guess is it better right ? Anyway the sound is good especially the bass

[Samsung Infuse 4G] corywd:
Hey guys, new here and just wondering what you think about the size of the infuse. I'm considering getting one, but I am worried that I won't get used to carrying such a massive phone around. I am also thinking about the captivate because it is smaller, but definitely like the infuse more except wrt every other aspect of the phone. Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jesi.james:
To me, I barely even notice the size until I hold a different phone. It just feels perfect in my hands. Its not really that much of a hassle to carry around since its so darn thin. Its not at all bulky. Fits nicely in my jeans pocket.

Sent from my Infused V² powered smartass phone yo
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iphonejailbreaknomore:
The infuse feels better in your hand than you would think. This is due to its extremely thin profile. I owned a Dell Streak 5 and I hated it yet it is only a 1/2 inch bigger in the screen....reason being the thickness. Go for the infuse, best phone out there!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
It totally depends on you actually. I know a some people have trouble using it with one hand, where I have no problem swyping one handed and reaching all corners of the keyboard. You should go check it out in store, and see if you can operate it one handed. If you usually use two hands and don't swype, definitely get this phone! The screen is gorgeous and watching media such as netflix streaming on it is unbelievable. Basically like having a mini HDTV that I can carry around in my pocket.

Also, I had a captivate and was very happy with the screen size...until I got my infuse that is. Haha. My dad uses my captivate still, and every time I pick it up I can't believe how small it feels and just feel like I could never go back to anything smaller than 4.5". Like others have said, the thin form factor definitely makes this phone svelte and very useable.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
i thought the same thing. Coming from my hd2 it wasn't a really big difference. what you will really notice is the thin profile. i found... kinda hard to grasp on to. but in the end, you will find out it is the a really good device.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
I agree. It really isn't "THAT" big but the biggest problem for me is the thinness. It's so light and thin that for me it is difficult to hold on to but I have other issues such as arthritis in my hands which makes it worse. Putting it in a Bodyglove rubber case added enough surface to it to resolve that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
The screen size is absolutely perfect for me. I came from a g2x where I thought the screen was way to small. I was at the movies recently showing my girl how good Netflix looked and some random Guy asked me where I got my portable TV from.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hkeyman:
I just made the switch from the i897 Captivate to the i997 Infuse on Monday night and I carry my device directly in my pocket and I have to say I really do not notice any difference between the two devices. Where I start to notice the difference is when it comes out of the pocket and into my hand. Definately a difference when it hits your hand and you start to use it. I had a little bit of a transition from using the Infuse with the cord plugged in (Captivate plugs in on the top, Infuse on the bottom) I thought I hated the cord on the top but not I actualy prefer it over the bottom plug scenario. When it was on top it was easier to hold in hand without the cord in the way. Now that it is there I am having to constantly adjust the way I am holding the device to accomodate this placement of the cord.

Other than that little "Inconvienience" The device is fantastic, brilliant in display...I am constantly getting the WOW factor when people see the screen and how vibrant it is. And battery life is right on par with all other devices (1/2day/12-13hrs of moderate to heavy use all day). So I would say go for it if you were on the fence or hold off a little longer and get the SGSII (pretty much the same phone but with dual core) which will be out in a month or so...or so they say.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
It will be difficult to step down to a smaller screen size
[Samsung Infuse 4G] superweapons:
As long as you don't death grip all the time or your hands are on the smaller end of the spectrum, the Infuse should be great.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Even with the screen being larger than other smart phones, the phone itself doesn't feel massive. Between the weight, thinness and just overall dimensions; this is a great phone. Compare to a Captivate or a Vibrant, there is no inconvenience that I've seen. If anything, you get a larger screen with better resolution and more capability. Development is building for the phone as well.

Overall, I don't think you will be disappointed with this phone. I have nothing but good things to say about it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Way, way too big.

It is literally impossible to hold it with one hand and drag the notifications down.

With the same 480x800 resolution you don't get more screen real estate than a Captivate, just everything is bigger and pixelated.

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Mikey is just angry because people started asking him if he was compensating for something. =P

Just messing with you. I personally haven't seen the pixelation issue, but maybe I'm just overlooking it.

I would definitely have to agree that it isn't a phone that's super easy to manipulate with one hand, but at the same time I haven't really had any issues. I think it just takes some adjustment coming from a smaller phone.

One thing I forgot to mention earlier, is that I'm much happier with the GPS on this phone than the previous generation Galaxy S models(i.e. Vibrant, Captivate and Fascinate). I know that isn't really size related, but it's definitely an improvement.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] corywd:
Ok Thanks everybody. I think I'm gonna go with the Infuse. 1 other quick question. Does it's thinness and size make it more fragile? I would put a case and screen protector on it, but is the screen breaking going to be an issue? Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Mine fell from the stairs at my house. Hit the last step. Still kicking :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
The GPS on the Infuse is nice. Not as good as a real GPS or my Xoom was, but nice.

I have yet to try tracking but it locks on faster indoors than the Captivate could floating in space next to the satellites.

I know Google doesn't sync good-res contact pictures.. blah blah blah

My thing is...

I've been using Oxygen and CyannogenMod for almost half a year and I just switched to LeeDroid HD 3.3.3 this morning... **I don't have a Facebook account** I realised that whenever I set a contact picture from the Gallery while the phone is offline.. the pictures look GREAT when making or receiving calls.. when online, Google does its sync low-res sh*t.

I just wanna use those pictures I choose from gallery as overlay, not as google cntc's pic.

Can I stop the contacts' pictures syncing? by any any any means? :confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] lordvoldemort:
Logout of FB and then again Login..This time select the option don't sync your contacts!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] stankyou:
The dude doesn't have a Facebook account. :p

How about updating the contact pictures of your Google contacts from the web itself instead of from the phone?

Honestly don't know if it will work. :eek: I haven't tried it but it's worth a shot.
[Desire Themes and Apps] lordvoldemort:
oh..sry

was im hurry so didn notice....thnx for correctin....by the way what you can do is set contact images thru phone and den disable autosync..tht shud work...
[Desire Themes and Apps] inkredi:
Did a similar thing already. Disable google contacts sync. Till before i move to any other ROM.

Works perfectly so far.. awesome resolution pics!

Thanks everyone. I believe this is the best temp fix.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Geniefy:
I have an Ideos X5 u8800H with stock internal SD bigger then 6gb. I installed the Oxygen rom and found my space reduced to 600mb, I then used Genokolar's custom partition zip and that helped me get 2.7gb of my space back.

But I still have 3gb unused space I can't access.

Is it possible for any developer to increase the maximum partition values in Genokolar's custom partition app to 5.7gb?

This will be a huge help as I'm loving my oxygen rom and don't want to go back to stock rom.

You can try to modify custpartition.bat - to increase max partition value

well reading over all these battery threads they brag nonstop about godlike battery life :mad: i highly doubt them and because of their incessant bragging over 2 days of battery doing blah blah people assume something is wrong with their battery. i highly invite them to take this poll and see their actual screen on time they guess that they played for 15 - 30 mins when it was only ten or so , this poll ought to straighten things out so we actually know wether these battery issues are normal for everyone.

As the lady said in Full Metal Jacket, "Me love you long time."
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeseman-:
In all honesty I'm a little disappointed with the battery life on my Atrix. I pretty much bought this phone as a replacement over my iPhone 3GS, because the battery would barley last 2 days with little to no use, but I can't say the Atrix provides much improvement either. With minimal use I'd get around 2 days of battery with my Atrix. Today I charged my phone at 7:30PM and with little use (maybe 20min in total) the battery is at 80% after 10 hours. Either this is normal or mine is faulty, cause the area around near the main front buttons and where the Moto blur logo is on the back constantly gets warm during normal use. I've had the phone for a little over a week now, so if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe I should go to a Bell store and exchange it for a new one.

[Galaxy S II General] pub00515:
Hi,

I'm a proud S2 owner but I'm note sure for how long. It seems the gyro in my device is very unstable. For example, if I use Google Maps and I turn on the sensor, the map will rotate if I only the tilt the device upwards (and this shouldn't cause a map rotation).

I've also tested some other apps using the gyro (STLView by ModuleWorks https://market.android.com/details?id=moduleWorks.STLView or some artificial horizon apps) and they all share this instability.

I have an EEE-Pad as well, and there those apps are really great.

So the question really is, is it just my device or can anyone else reproduce these issues?

Thanks,

Mark
[Galaxy S II General] BA_Tech:
I have the same issue.
[Galaxy S II General] lambstone:
I tested it on my sgs2 with maps and I don't seem to have the issues that you are experiencing. I even downloaded STLView and did not have this "instability" problem. Perhaps your handset is faulty?

Another possible reason is that you might have been trying to use your sgs2 in the bermuda triangle. It has been documented that the bermuda triangle wrecks havoc on electronics.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Are you sure maps use gyro ? I guess they use primarily compass and G-sensor, while of course, gyros can help too.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Did you try to calibrate the gyro sensor?
[Galaxy S II General] pub00515:
Yupp, tried calibration, didn't help.

@info5i2002

Pretty far from bermuda :)

In STLView, did you enable the gyro button (the button on the left side)? What happens if you tilt the phone by 90° (hold it over your head facing towards you) - does the heading swing around?

When I hold the phone level (in landscape orientation), and I tilt the phone up and down, I can clearly see the axis swing from left to right.
[Galaxy S II General] lambstone:
Yeap, tried it in landscape and tilted it up and down and it seems to move only up and down only.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
If the device is in a case/cover which has Magnetic Lock then the issue is normal.
[Galaxy S II General] TML1504:
issue is NOT gyro related, what's described here is unstable accelerometer and/or compass readout. i guess it's mainly due to missing magnetic calibration (try to do the "8" pattern with the phone, AND turn the phone twice around each axis). if the problem persists, than it's maybe within technological limits (and everyone faces it, although the people here are more upset about it). also possible is magnetic interference due to huge amounts metal etc...
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Yes .. people often confuse accelerometer (G-sensor), electronic gyroscopes, and compass. All do different things, but all can be used in applications like maps.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
I also noticed that the magnetometer of my s2 is kind of imprecise.

I have continuously swinging head indication, of about +/- 15 degrees. Moreover, the correspondance from phone orientation and indication is not linear. I get higher sensitivity towards one direction and lower towards the opposite direction...

However what I did notice, is that the magnetometer, responsible for the compass, is very sensitive not only to nearby magnets, but even to metal objects at considerable distance. So perhaps it is all just this sensor beind a tad too sensitive.
[Galaxy S II General] pub00515:
Hi,

I've done a few more tests - I placed a strong magnet next to my Eee-pad and I had no deflection when I moved the magnet. So in this case, the app is correctly using the device's gyro and accelerometer. I then performed te same test with my S2 and bingo, I had a strong deflection as I moved the magnet. This is plain silly, as the sensor I'm using in my own app doesn't rely on the compass, instead it relies on the rotation vector sensor as provided by the SDK. Now the question is, who was sloppy? Does Gingerbread perhaps not support the gyro fully or did Samsung not implement the sensor correctly? As I wrote, the same code works perfectly on my Honeycomb tablet so it's not a programming error per se.

Regards

Mark
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Yes, there definitely must be something wrong with the gyro and/or the magnetometer.

Some time ago I opened a specific thread on this subject in this forum, got many "reads" but no replies whatsoever...

So strange nobody did actually notice it so far.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Now that's interesting. Could be !

My compass works a bit weird. I put it on table, let it show the north. Then I rotate the device 180 degrees .. and the north shifts like 5 degrees. It can be worse, but calibrating (waving the 8 pattern) helps .. but I can't get the error under 5 degrees no matter what.

Btw. it's common that that electronic compasses are much more sensitive to metal objects, that's not Samsung's mistake. But the sensors should not be linked.

Edit: I downloaded some sensors monitoring application. And gyroscopic sensor itself for sure is not sensitive to magnetic fields and works as it should, same for accelerometer. But then there are some IMHO virtual sensors: linear acceleration and rotation. They seem to be synthesized from more sensors, and the rotation does react on magnet.
[Galaxy S II General] pub00515:
So perhaps if someone has a different phone running Gingerbread with a gyro on board, we can see if the issue exists there as well (best would be to try it with STLView, as I know what API calls are made)

Thanks,

Mark
