Why does Facebook run a service consuming lots of memory when you turn sync off? Surely it should only run when you connect and update.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f3n0m3no:
it s not necessary to disable sync. you have to kill the process. but that s the way facebook works on galaxy s. it is deeply integrated and once killed it restarts.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hell_storm2004:
Well i think the game has something to do with the battery drain. Last night i stopped the process and my charge stayed perfect. I will try it out for 2-3 days more and with the service running and turned off and see if that is the one.

But how do i update to JVS or JVT? Kies says the firmware is up to date.

Any links to do that?

And how do i know which is the latest ROM out there?

I did not do any updates with Odin since AFAIK it hampers the warranty.

I normally do all the tinkering with the phone when the warranty is over! :p

The wasn't much before. With recent updates and socializing available with the game now, it constantly stays connected to the internet, hence the increase in battery draw. Previously it was not so hence the battery used to stay on longer.

That's my problem. Flash back to Original froyo firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.G.:
XXKPH is a Galaxy ACE firmware, not a Galaxy S firmware. Which device do you have? Edit: Right, an i9003. Funny; I didn't know that both the ACE and the SL have a XXKPH-firmware.

In any case, a factory reset will delete all your user data, so if you don't have a backup, you shouldn't do it.

On how to proceed: find a proper firmware for your device, flash it through Odin and then do a backup of your data (as far as it still exists) before proceeding.

1. Is JVR stock not modified by anyone firmware?

2. If I make backup with TitaniumBackup and restore it, will I have still all my save games, preferences and settings of each app etc.?

3. Will it affect (slow down) phone rather than normally installing apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.G.:
1. "Stock" means "as delivered by Samsung". No modifications are made whatsoever.

2. If you restore "app+data", then you will have everything back. Restoring the app alone won't help.

3. Not in general. Problems might arise from restored apps being incompatible or simply old. Also the restored data might prove bulkier than if you had adapted the settings on a fresh install and cause issues. Slowdown might to a certain extend be caused by superfluous data. The real culprits causing the slowdowns are however the apps themselves, indifferent of whether you restore them with Titanium Backup or whether you install them afresh (unless of course they are old/incompatible, as said before). So one should weed them out from time to time.

I am new to rooting, so I need a little initial help.

When I bought my phone (in France) it was already rooted with Insanity. Can I unroot Insane with 'one click' and re-root with ie Darky's Rom without risking bricking the phone? Currently no samsung apps run on the phone, icons are too small and I cannot resize (resetting screen definition makes no difference). I've tried font apps but they don't work either. And the external sd card is not 'seen' when plugged into USB.

sgs proper HARD BRICK (FOR REAL NO SCREEN ACTIVITY)

hi iv had a serious journey with my sgs i9000 here's how it goes:

i had it on 2.2 and then upgraded it officially to 2.3.3

not much else happened until i realised i wanted voodoo sound (apparently it was hyped to be awesome....its not that great) and neither is the ext4 file system 2.3.3 seems to be just as fast...dont know if it was a major problem on 2.2 but it aint really on 2.3.3

so i flashed voodoo on 2.3.3 from some website ... downloaded the app for the sound as the kernel didnt support that...

then i was using it and played around with the settings in clock work manager and i mounted and unmounted sd/card i dont think it made much difference but i thought i'd mention it ... the reason i did this is because when i tried to load a rom it wouldnt find all my sd card files beyond like the first 5 folders so i thought i'd give it a kick start....

then what happened is the phone just went off and i couldnt get it back on.... little did i know this was soft brick... i didnt know why....

i got the computer screen with the phone and exclamation mark.... i got into download mode a few times....

NOW .... i cant get it to turn on AT ALL using any combo buttons....

i think the nail in the coffin was flashing it with the "one-click odin" which was for the captivate but it said i could use it on the i9000 too.... which blatently screwed up the device....

anyway iv ordered a jig device... if this gets me into download mode ....what am i supposed to do...?

also is there anything i can do to get it into download mode now ? (bearing in mind iv done all the combo's ... some people say leave the battery out for a couple of minutes or half an hour....)

i think the bootloader is screwed up because it doesnt switch on....

even after i did a clean install of 2.3.3 with the pda phone and csc roms... it still just randomly switched off after 2/3 minutes of boot time....

what do i do now ?

samsung repair centre said they couldnt do anything and i'd have to send it back to samsung.... is it that bad?

If I select the "Vibration" mode (no sound, the one with the little notification area icon showing a phone with vibration coming out of it) and check in "Audio" settings that vibration is ON I can't get vibration when receiving messages.

I found a workaround by selecting, in Message settings, vibration to "Always", BUT, if I want to use 4 "profiles", that are:

-no sound

-vibration

-sound

-sound+vibration

i get vibration in ALL of them, whereas my idea is to get vibration in "vibration" and "sound+vibration" mode, and no vibration in "sound" and "no-sound".

Anyone can help my posting his audio setting to get this working?

here's my question and i really hope you can unswer it

what's the best ROM and KERNEL for gaming

i like games like fast five and shadow gardian

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
I really doubt if a single rom is designed for gaming.However,if you are a hardcore gamer like me, then here are few advices.

Well,to play GAMES smoothly on SGS, all you need to have is free RAM as much as possible. (My personal opinion)

Since you are talking about gameloft games, then first you need to see when a game was made. The games of last year like Asphalt 5, Dungeon hunter, Sacred oddesy, brothers in arms, Gangstar requires around 70-90 MB free ram to work smoothly.

However games of this year like ASPHALT 6, Dungeon hunter 2, Fast five, shadow guardian, and above all 9MM requires 100+MB free ram to work smoothly.

Now days I am playing 9MM. Now, if i play it when my ram is like 60-70 MB free, then it lags like hell. Then, to free up ram I quickly restart phone. Upon restart, I get around 130+MB free ram(I am on stock JVS Rom). Here, I can play this game very smoothly.

I hope this will work for you.
