[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] interloper:
I suggest using adb to wipe all the partitions manually. Further down this forum there is supposed to be a thread detailing the block addresses for the relevant partitions. Sounds to me like there is a partition that is not being wiped. CWM for this device doesn't seem to wipe /system. I do own this device and have trouble when flashing between roms with similar results. I just reflash until it all stick or follow what I have suggested to you. I'm going to try a few things later and let you know my results. I will give more detailed instructions then. In the meantime I also suggest getting adb on your computer. If you need help with that catch me on #gtab.

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
rm -rf /system
rm -rf /data
adb reboot recovery

that should wipe the residual data from the device. Post again after you've done that and reflashed your rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kohkohnut:
Hi there

I would like to backup my SMSes (only sms,not the app) using Titanium Backup. May I know which file should I choose to backup in TB? I tried exploring around but couldn't find anything that looks like my SMSes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
You need SMS backup from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kohkohnut:
Actually I have made a full backup with TB previously, so now I wish to restore my SMSes. Problem is, I do not know which file. And I do not want to do a full restore as I only need to recover my SMSes. Any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZioGTS:
Man, as far as I know Titanium is just for backing up your applications... It doesn't backup SMS nor anything other than apps... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kohkohnut:
My guess is that SMS is part of the data for a particular app. So when I backed up my apps and their data, my SMSes should have been captured as well. Only problem is I do not know which one is it.

Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Liam-:
I've restored sms's before using titanium backup. Can't remember how though. :D

smsbackup is alot simpler.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZioGTS:
Well, that's good to know! If they are saved with data for an app, that app should be sms app, I suppose.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachau:
no, sms app (mms.apk) does not store any sms in its data store. there is another process calles message store, this seems somehow related to the sms data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
look under the m section section of apps when you view backup/restore apps in alphabetical format and you will find an app in yellow titled '[sms/mms prefs] messaging' and I believe if you restore that one you will get your messages back
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiwipl:
There is a very good free app called SMS Backup+, it can backup your SMS, MMS and call logs directly to Gmail with proper label. It can restore it from there as well.

Ive been using Glitch V12 (20110720-HL) for a while now with CM7. I stuck with this version because BLN (without app) and sensors work. I tried going to the newer releases but when using GrooveIP, I temporarily lose sound when the screen goes off while im in a call and doesnt come back until I turn the screen back on. Is this the screen state scaling? If so, any recommendations of what governor to use to that I wont get cut off but is also good on battery?

Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageDieu:
If it is something that happens a lot, try either ondemand or disabling screenstate scaling completely.

Thanks for the quick response. Wasnt expecting to have an answer 'til I woke up. I will reflash back to the latest CM7 and Glitch tomorrow and report back.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dallas6672:
Well, I flashed the latest Glitch kernel (9-23) along with CM7 (nightly 59) and its not doing it at all. When it did it before was on kernel 9-06. Did that build have a different default screen off governor or maybe it had something to do with the proximity sensors not working and the auto off screen kicking in after about 30 seconds, which is when the sound would stop before?

Search forums first next time. Widely spoken problem, and solution is easy.

Pull out battery! Or, if you have unlocked bootloader, enter recovery and wipe battery stats

Also there is an app on the market called battery calibrator, but you need root for it

Let me know if it worked

Hello,

I would like to share my problem with you and may be there will be some one that can assist with:

I moved from WinMo to Android OS. I have about 500 contacts in my Outlook. When used WinMo it was possible to "file contact name" by different ways - for example:

Name: Alex

Last name: Davidoff

Company: Amdocs

File as: Alex, Davidoff (Amdocs).

This type of filing contact as made search issue more comfortable when searching before dialing using dialpad. It was possible to enter the Company name to get all matched contacts...

I cant find this possibility in Android.

May be some one can assist?

3. type your comapny name

2nd option:

1. click "contacts"

2. press "menu" button (the windows logo)

3. in the open menu dialog -> click "contact"

4. type your company name

if this does not work, get a less bugy rom then ;)

You could type in about:debug into the address bar and then go into the setting to switch the mobile mode into the desktop mode
