I'm a Launcherpro guy. I tried GO and it was pretty but when I saw it appear in my battery report with 5% usage, I figured that can't be good. I don't need pretty that much. To be honest, I could be happy with the old Msdos menu box gui.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Thank you

Thank you...That is the kind of answer I was looking for, I wanted some first hand use information.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
thats why I told you to do your own test - hence first hand use information... not being a jerk just being honest because if you have been around these forums like I have there are yes and no for the same stuff... Ok GoLauncher vs any other launcher IMO does not eat up any battery life but for others it may... Just trying to help you out my friend but I guess you dont want to do the leg work yourself...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Koltxlvii:
I was a former Go Launcher guy as well, until I noticed the usage of it. Switched to LauncherPro and have been enjoying 25+ hours on my phone unplugged now. LauncherPro doesn't seem to lag at all with the E4GT either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Actually, Launcherpro never lagged on my Moment, either. In fact, its the only 3rd party launcher I've never seen lag on.

Go Launcher sometimes has lag on my ET. I don't care for ADW, but it also had occasional lag, and in fact, when I see it running on CM7 devices far better than my Moment, I see that it has lag sometimes, too.

Well, updated my pirme rom to 2.1 last night... (maybe should write in the prime thread, but i don't have 10 posts yet so I can't) Discovered when I tried to install GTA 3 this morning that I couldn't find it on the market app. went to the online version, but when i tried to install it there, nothing happened. I soon discovered why, because of the update of Prime, the Model Number on the settings screen had changed to "TF101 G" from previoslu only "TF101". I have tried editing the build.prop and sending the apk from my phone to the TF, but no luck on getting it running yet? Any way of changing the Model Number without ****ing something up? Also tried wiping cache btw...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazer4:
I'm having a problem getting games to work after the data folder is manually copied into sdcard/Android/data it always says it needs to download them by wifi even though I'm putting the exact same files in there that its downloading down to the last byte, I even copied then deleted the files they downloaded through wifi and then copied them back in and the game doesn't work.

Anyone can tell me whats going on here this doesn't make sense to me I can't backup my games!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
Would probably be better if you backed up the Game app and data using Titanium Backup or My Backup. Then you can restore them intact.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazer4:
I could try that but Titanium Backup has hung for me before trying to backup Shadowgun so it might not work for all games, I'd really like to understand why removing and copying back the game data breaks the game, it would be great if I could just keep the files safe on my PC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
I've used Titanium Backup to backup the data of several games (Let's Golf 3 for example with 1Gb of aditional data) and when reinstalling the ROM the game worked without problems or saying to redownload the data.

The main issue with backing up just the /sdcard folder of the aditional data is that the app probably has some variable saved saying if the aditional data has been saved or not, so maybe if you only save the /sdcard folder and reinstall the app from the market, as it doesn't have its original data will prompt you to redownload the aditional data.

I would suggest you try the following:

1) Backup the app from Titanium Backup (app+data). This does a backup of the app you download from Market, not the aditional data.

2) If you're gonna format /sdcard partition, save the aditional data in your PC or an external device to be able to restore it. Just do a copy/paste.

3) Once resintalled the ROM or whatever you're doing, restore first the /sdcard folder saved in step 2.

4) Restore the app from Titanium Backup, select restore app+data.

5) Run the app and it shouldn't ask to redownload the data.

If you're still having problems, please post which app is the one you're trying to restore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dafydd1994:
For some reason titanium backup doesn't work for me, it will backup successfully but won't restore the apps.

My Backup pro restores the apps correctly but any downloaded data isn't for some reason. Some help would be great.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Ran to get the last one in a nearby store and the battery doesn't fit in the GSM Nexus. Not even close. The battery itself is wider than the battery compartment in the GSM Nexus so no way to jam it in.

Such a shame.

On a side note, I'll be selling this 2100mah extended battery if anyone is interested since they are in short supply - rather sell it to a fellow XDA peep than return to store and have a random person get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
A friend of mine said the droid charge battery will fit. Can anyone tell me if this is true?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
No NFC then. The key was this one had NFC like our current batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beno*:
I am curious as to where you picked up this battery? I just ordered my LTE Galaxy Nexus and for the life of me cannot find the official extended battery for sale anywhere! How much are you asking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
$60 + shipping. Its in the Marketplace forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
:O how much was it purchased for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veli69:
That sounds odd. id figure theyd be the same ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Me too - that's why I ran to get it!! :(

The actual size of the battery is different though and now people are saying the battery covers themselves are different so even if the battery fit the cover wouldn't.

I really hope Samsung sells something like this for the GSM nexus

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SquareBare:
Does this extended battery fit any docks at all? Car or desktop?

If you are going to get an extended battery and give up your otterbox and possibly all dock support, why bother with a 2100 mAh version at all?

I am not sure I would use a phone this valuable (and without gorilla glass) naked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bilhouse:
I don't care what the UK price is, I just want it to get announced already so I can buy this phone again! I had to sell it for various reasons, one of them being the battery life.

Wow. It seems that despite any apparent similarities in name, the gsm and lte phones are as different a couple of Galaxy S variants.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
Anybody that bought the extended battery from a Verizon corporate store for 50 bucks needs to go get their price adjusted.

It is half off. First it was only in store, and then it popped up online. I paid 24.99 for mine plus tax at a corporate location. Made the decision much easier

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
Ok. So I see there is a system update. I wanted to make sure if there's anyway I can check to see that it's ok that I install this update. Will it interfere with anything? Mainly pertaining to my root and unbrickness of my phone. :P

Will I lose root? Will I become bricked? (Though I doubt the later) I just wanted to know are we in the clear on installing this.

Sorry, but this is the first time this has happened to me, being rooted with some type of OTA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btate0121:
you know... i flashed the updated tar file using mobile odin and 1) kept the root and super user 2) gained the stock boot screen again but lost clockwork 3) didn't lose any of my apps or data.

so it's a mixed bag and from my experience i wouldn't recommend it because it replaces the kernel and you'd lose clockwork. i think there may be a version floating around that you can flash though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
So... shouldn't I update through the OTA, loose my kernel, use ODIN to flash back my CWM and kernel? That sounds like a viable solution.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btate0121:
Sounds about right to me but I would probably wait for someone more learn-ed to chime in. Your mileage may vary using the method I used.. which admittedly is probably very noobish. I didn't have any problem flashing a CWM kernel through odin though. Here's the funny thing.. i kept reading that the stock kernel would "unroot" your phone.. but for a few days I actually kept the stock kernel and was still fully rooted (super user kept asking permission for a few things like widget locker and titanium... and they worked perfectly *shrug*).

It may be that I just don't understand it fully yet but it worked out fine for me.. but again.. your mileage may vary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No_Nickname90:
Alright, that sounds like a safer route. Ima go check around the ROMS. Maybe they've added the update as part of their ROM.

Expecting this update to fix many of my problems.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] atlantix1:
Really don't know if that helps but once I got exactly the same error. The reason was that the file system of my SD-card was corrupted somehow. Formatting the card several times via PC didn't help. There was the same error message. Finally the solution was to flash stock firmware via Flashtool and format the card from the phone menu afterwards. After that everything worked like expected. I even don't know how the file system got corrupted but the card itself seems to be OK.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JayanWarden:
Nope. it did not work. Ain't able to flash it with flashtool even after driver updates because falshtool doesn't recognize my phone. Blargh >.<

EDIT: Okay, got Flashtool working now. Have flashed original ROM, currently backing up all things and then trying to flash CM7 or MIUI again

EDIT2: Formatted, reflashing now

EDIT3: Working again! Thank you very much!!! All i need to do now is running titanum backup all over it :3

My theme is the best one I've encountered so far. Please try it on. It's worth trying!

The feature I liked most is the semi transparent notification scroll bar.

The menu, settings and others are also semi transparent, which means, you can see the wallpaper behind the menu or settings in a translucent form. Pretty cool!

Ok,my friend from class has samsung galaxy 3,and she wants to trade for my xperia x8.

So,i think it would be a good idea,since galaxy 3 has better cpu,i dont know about gpu,more ram and multitouch.

So i ask,what should i do?should i trade or not?
[General Questions and Answers] sean is here.:
I'd start by checking here.

http://www.gsmarena.com/new/compare.php3?idPhone1=3395&idPhone2=3403

Then you can see all of the specs on both phones. But I think I'd also be interested in the user experience. Maybe try to get a few days trial period...

From looking at gsmarena, the X8 has a better screen (according to pixel density), but the G3's is larger. Android Donut (X8) versus Eclair (G3), is clear but I guess they both might be up-gradable by now. The battery's got a few more mA's in the G3, but these might be used up faster by the larger screen.

Basically, I think you have to ask yourself, "what is important to me in a cell phone?" If you run apps that are processor intensive, and you're not so concerned about the pixel density go for the G3. If you want a smaller phone, though I'd think twice.

It's not so cut and dry that anyone here can say, "yes, that is a good trade."

Ask your buddy if you can trade for a week, before you finalize the deal. You might find that you want your old phone back.
[General Questions and Answers] josip-k:

Since upgrading to GB (official) I can't go 8 hrs on a full charge. This is with virtually zero activity (screen on no more than 5 mins, no wifi, no data, no calls, no mails and no texts) . Watchdog is reporting no alerts and nothing APPEARS to be using any more than 0.8% CPU (Android System). In fact there are only 7 things running using CPU and Watchdog is one of them. I've discharged the phone 3 times from full to complete shut down and I've also bought and tried another New battery. Prior to GB with moderate use 8hrs would discharge around 25% battery for me.

I've got Juice defender on now and that hasn't made a blind bit of difference.

I set up my Galaxy S II Skyrocket to sync with both my personal and work Gmail accounts. Trouble is, it synced about 4,000 contacts from the work Gmail.

Now, I understand that I can hide those in the display options, but I want them gone completely. I deselected "Contacts" from syncing with my office Gmail, but the huge number of contacts remains.

How can I remove the contacts that are attached with specifically the work Gmail, and leave behind my own personal contacts?

Thank you for the help.

Edit: Well, it figures I'd spend a week figuring this problem out, only to solve it the moment I ask for help. For those who may have a similar problem and stumble across this thread in the future, here's how I solved it:

I downloaded Samsung Kies to sync my phone with my PC.

I then performed a full backup of my phone (especially the contacts).

On the left hand side of Kies, under the section labeled "Connected devices," I selected "Contacts" from under my phone. I then selected the tab with my synced emails, and from there could easily select all the contacts associated with the offending account, and deleted them.

Click "Save to device" and you're done. Huzzah.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean is here.:
I could be wrong, but if you go into:

Settings->Accounts and Sync-> [the account for your work email]

And uncheck Contacts, I think they'll be gone again. Looks like you tried that. If you did, and they're still there, check the sync settings. You can choose the priority (i.e. keep the contacts from the phone, delete those from the gMail server etc).

When all else fails, delete all of your contacts, uncheck Contacts from the work account and resync properly.
