Alternative to Kies

Contacts: save & sync with Google account, never use phone

Photos: save to external sdcard

Apps: use market app AppBrain

Appointments/calendar: sync with Google account, setup Hotmail as Exchange mail

The Samsung USB drivers are available without installing Kies:

I usually have USB mass storage + USB debugging enabled all the time, and SGS function like an USB stick when connecting to Windows.

Hey guys this has happened to me the past couple nights, ill put my phone down on my desk at say midnight and it will have around 60% battery left, then when u wake up it is completely dead... I'm running unnamed 1.3.1 with iscrewd theme over that. Any suggestions would be great!

Download BetterBatteryStats and charge up your phone. Unplug it and then let your phone sleep for a few hours. You can then check for wakelocks along with partials which may be causing this issue.

I'd also recommend cpuspy to see if your phone is actually going into deep sleep. Just be sure to reset it after unplugging from a charge.

I am currently on Galnet MIUI 1.12.3. But somehow battery life got worse over the last few MIUI versions, so I decided to go back to stock.

Which Rom has the best battery lifetime and best camera quality? 720p recording with MIUI was quite choppy.

Also, do I have to flash back a stock kernel? It would be great if I could keep or switch to a kernel that still supports UV.

Which is the best prerooted Rom at the moment?

How would I flash back to a stock rom? Just flash the new rom via CWM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0peye:
Hi all,

I know how to make an app default for launching certain types of files, but my problem goes deeper:

From the day one I switched to Android from WinMo, I have to define the default player for movies over and over again:

I have tried all the mayor players from the market, but the problem is still there:

I use a Ghost commander for launching the movie (.avi, for example).

The first time I have to choose the player (MX player for example).

The next time I start the movie with the SAME extension (.avi), it is OK - the MX starts it by default.

But if I try to open the movie with some other extension (.flv - for example, is a pain in the a$$, because android offers me all the programs installed to choose from, and I have to scroll way down to MX...) - I have to define the player again.

Now, when I want to open the .avi file again - I have to choose the default app again...

The default app is deleted when I connect the phone to PC to read/write files form PC. - As soon as I disconnect the SGS from PC, and try to launch any movie - I have to set the default app again...

This drives me crazy,

I have tried a few different roms (Darky, Ficeto,... and now SURFACE),

On stock rom, Froyo, Ginger (now on 2.3.4),

And it was always the same.

Am I the only one? I haven't found anyone else complain about this?

Thanks in advance for the reply,

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duanh:
I've never had that problem myself. After I've set the permissions it usually sticks... Sorry I couldn't help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0peye:
Yes, it should, as for the launcher for example, or the dialer - when I install the new launcher, it asks me once which one to use, and offer me to set as default.

Once I set the default launcher, I never have to do it again untill I install the another one. Then, I am asked again to choose one/ set default and it sticks.

The same for phone app and all the others, but it never work for movie with different extension. Every time I choose the different format, I have to set the default for all of them again...

:(

Anybody?

Any idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktrotter11:
It's because technically its asking for a default action for a yet undefined file type,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktrotter11:
For example, if you have two movie players, you can play an avi and set it to default to something, I it when you stream something it interprets that as a different action which needs to be defaulted also, hope this makes since in a way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0peye:
But I am not:

- I start the AVI file for the first time - it asks for a default player. I define it.

The next time I start AVI file - it starts automatically with the chosen player.

- I start - for the first time a different movie file type - for example: FLV (this is - for me - most annoying type, as my phone don't recognize it as a movie type, and offers me all kind of programs to open it with: contacts, drm content launcher, edit access point, ezPDF reader, FDN list, calendar import, market, messaging, music, package installer, phone, settings...)

I have to define a player. I define it. The next time I play the FLV file (but not changing the file type!) it plays ok.

- I want to start again the AVI file - it ask for the default player again.

This shouldn't happen. It should remember the defined player.

These movie extension types are just an example - it is the same with all the movie files I choose to open, when I am switching to another extension...

Anybody an idea?

Thanks in advance,

cheers

i know you can get slide unlock to work so that if you slide to the left you can take a picture instant and to the right to unlock

but how do you get that feature with a PIN code or a PATTERN?

You can't. Going to camera directly would bypass the security test so its just not available.

Since there is no forum for this phone YET I thought I would set up this topic for general discussion on this phone for now.

I just got this yesterday, I am currently loving it. Playing MKV @ 1280x720 is a really awesome improvement over my Optimus One.

Too bad it is BLOATED with crapware by Samsung and my carrier that makes it much slower than it should be though =\ But I'm guessing custom ROMs will fix that for us :P

So what are your opinions on this phone people?

Galaxy W not connecting to cell network...please HELP

Hi,

I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy W, but it is not connecting to the cellular network in my country (GSM 1800MHz, UMTS 850MHz). Does anyone know if the galaxy W is selling as a quad-band UMTS phone? In the Samsung Hong Kong website the specs show UMTS (850/900/1900/2100MHz); however in the Samsung UK it only shows UMTS (900/2100 MHz). Does this phone have a similar antenna design as the Galaxy S where the 850MHz band can be enabled/disabled by software via the service mode *#*#197328640#*#*? I tried it dialing this code but nothing happened.

The Exhibit II 4G is a quad-band UMTS 3G design. Does anyone know if the Galaxy W has the same antenna design but only enabled 2 bands?
