Q: my zoom is not working (GB or CM9a7+)

A: our device has 5 megapixel matrix and NO optical zoom. that's why if you use 5 mpx mode the device hasn't any other details to show you..

other situation about zooming on lower resolutions. for camturing 2 mpx photo phone takes only 2M of centram matrix points.. others are used to zoom cause there are spare pixels

In general there's NO need to zoom, cause you cannot take better images.. the result of zoomed 2mpx image is the same (and sometimes even worse) than cropped 5mpx photo due to interpolation algorithms..

that's why the best practice is to take 5 mpx photo and then crop it on phone or trying to make some magic with PC software

hope this will end all the questions about the zoom

How long should the Samsung Galaxy wonder Battery last for with continuous usage for web browsing and twitter for example ?

Or how long should it last for complete stand by ?

I am asking because I bought a new Galaxy W and the battery last only for very few hours with the usage mentioned above , and I wanna know if this is normal or I have to replace it ?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] UnicoIjo:
close some apps that is running on your device.. wifi or 3G are u using? ur battery will last depends on use..:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AhmedPower:
Thanks for your reply (:

I ( recently ) started to use juice defender and close auto sync. , wifi and GPS , and yes I noticed a good change .

But Generally ( because this is my first android phone , and I have bought it only about 10 days ago ) I am still confused whether my battery is normal , or Should I replace it , so I thought it may be good to ask others about their battery life time ( with hours ) with this moderate use .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ishis99:
It's normal to drain your battery in few hours if you are a heavy user. It's better if you have always extra battery just in case.

My battery can last 3 days if I don't use much Wifi or 3g. I only use Wifi or 3g if needed. I only do is texting, calls, few games, etc.

There's is no way you can remove Megabass beats without making a nandroid backup first.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Any way to remove those songs all at once (which don't work anyway)? It's making life difficult for me...

Locate the music files that you don't want to appear in your music player. Create a ".nomedia" file inside a certain folder to where the said files are. This way, the system's media scanning will ignore the files since the folder is declared by the .nomedia disabling everything in the folder to be listed to your songs.

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and not allowed to post in developer forum so I'm here.

I wanna try Kezra's optimized ROM but I'm a little concern with V4's battery drain.

I would like to try V3 first but I couldn't find any download links in the threads.

Does anyone still have a link?

Much appreciated.

P:S. I used RZrecovery and backup my current ROM. It backed up data, cache and system without problem but backing up android-SECURE was failed. Is that necessary or how should I solve it?

I always do that , I have already installed juice defender , better performance but the battery still drain so fast

Thanks for info ishis , But I am still very disappointed from the battery life ,

what makes me so disappointed is that I compared my Galaxy W Battery with Galaxy fit Battery , in a life experiment making exactly the same thing on both phones ( open wifi and download from the market ) , My Galaxy W take about 3-4 minutes for the battery to decrease by 1% , while the Galaxy fit takes about 30 minutes to decrease this 1% .

The owner of the Galaxy fit told me that may be the reason is that I have 1400 processor while he has only 600 processor , and the faster the processor the less the life battery , I don't know whether what he says id right or wrong .

So I am still confused whether to take it to the warranty or it is normal ,

Can you ishis or anyone tell me whether the experiment result is normal or I have to go to the warranty ?

Thanks in advance (:

I always have problems like buggy rom which makes my apps crash or freeze after flashing CM9 from alpha 3 until alpha 7. I think I did something really wrong. Can someone list out the steps that I should take clearly?

This is what I always do:

1) boot into recovery

2) clear data and factory reset

3) clear cache partition

4) wipe dalvik cache

5) wipe battery stats

6) fix permission

7) mount storage through CWM

8) copy CM9 and gapps files to storage

9) flash the files

10) reboot system

Sometimes I also format and check for errors for both storage through pc before step 7.

What did I do to make my phone so buggy and laggy?

I have baseband version: I8150DXKL1 and build number GINGERBREAD.DXLA2 android version 2.3.6. which firmware should I use in ODIN, you know the zip file i have to download? If I mistakenly use a firmware (but followed instructions correctly) will I get a hard brick?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
If the firmware is not corrupted (check the MD5) and you do everything correctly, the probability of bricking your phone is very small.

The worst thing that could happen (beside bricking) is that the baseband of the firmware you flashed is not compatible with the GSM network of your country, thus you'll no longer be able to connect to *any* operator. This risk is small, too, since outside of the USA+Japan+Korea+China, GSM implementation are almost identical. More likely, you can connect to the 2g network but can't connect to 3g.

hello all .......

I have problem with entering to bootloader , this happened after flashing Miui rom

when I am trying to enter in it , after Warning I press Volume + , and it hangs

no thing happen . the Warning stil , and I cannot do any thing . just Remove the battery to restart the phone Again .I flashed rom exactly by following the tips . the rom is working very well, but the BOOTLOADER :crying: any solution ? please help

Note :

*I use CWM 5 .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Almost, but not quite, correct :)

Mock Locations is used to 'fool' any app as if they're somewhere else. The location info might come from GPS or Cell Info.

Not necessarily for development ;)

For instance : SoundHound ∞ activates its 'LiveLyrics' feature *only* for US or Canada, which sucks royally. There's an app in the Play Store called "Lyrics Enabler" which can 'wrap' SoundHound ∞ in a mock location, thus enabling that feature.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] passager2010:
i think you have mistake in manipulating

if you press the volume+ after warning that mean you attempt to enter DOWNLOAD MODE

but if you want to enter the bootloader menu (recovery mode ) you must power on your phone while pressing volume+ and main button together until the menu appears

if you want to flash a new rom and you are in download mode , you press the volume+ but nothing happen , dont worry and just connect your device to your pc and it will be detected by ODIN and you can flash it anyway

as far as I know, flashing with ODIN doesn't need root..

BUT it needs root if flashing with adb shell or Terminal Emulator..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Don't u need root for CM9?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy W (GT-I8150) with CM9 Alpha 7.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
ODIN can flash away phone's system, not OS's system.. and you can see the CM9 zip (open it), it only contains "boot.img" wich is the kernel and "system" folder that will replacing /system partition.. no /dev partition or others will be flashed right?

it just needs USB debugging setting
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] S440:
So if i flash it the way arco suggests (with ODIN) i don't need to root it first, and i just follow up his instructions?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
just follow it.. but I recommend using "Terminal Emulator" that doesn't need PC.. but needs root.. -same way to flashing by adb shell-

THESE STEPS NEEDS ROOT & BUSYBOX, DOESN'T NEED PC & ODIN..

FOR BEST RESULT, UPDATE YOUR SUPERUSER.APK, SU BINARY, AND BUSYBOX

-go here http://www.mediafire.com/?6wkwiko5gmqhuyr link by acro68 the author of W's CM9 and who made CWM possible to our device

-download and extract it..

-put the recovery.img in /mnt/sdcard

-download "Terminal Emulator" by Jack in market (FREE OF COURSE)

-open it then type "su" and click enter

-allow root access..

-then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" then click enter <~ THAT IS "0" (ZERO) not "O" word..

-then some text will show in bottom

-exit terminal.. check the recovery by turning off the device then turn on with volume up botton, home button, and power button pressed together.. until "Galaxy W" screen shows up, release the power button only.. then you will enter CWM

-navigate with up (up) n down (down) vol button and home keys (select) and power (back) and click "reboot system now" to reboot

HAPPY FLASHING :D

so ok, im here again and i got a question and i hope somebody can explain this to me.

i was before tried to partition my External SD Card using Mini Partition Toolkit in Windows and boom, it became RAW, it can't be read by my PC and only phones can read it. However i found a way to get it back to FAT and i succeeded using the SD Card Formatter. In this case my external SD became im not sure on what but in my file explorer (i use x-plore and root explorer) its no longer under the SD CARD, it is now under the ROOT, so the SD Card still has External SD drive inside it but there nothing in there instead the External SD files can be found at the External SD inside the ROOT the same line as the SD CARD. now my question is, is it good? i never used an internal/external swap before so in my opinion the way it was formatted is the culprit. should i make a move for this? or should i let it be?

how many hours you guys could get using cm9 after a full charge?w/ moderate usage?:fingers-crossed:

mine sucks,doesn't even manage to lasts 6 hours.i tried wiping the battery stats but it's no use,since wiping seems screwed up my battery level,sometimes it's incereases itself about 10% during a night sleep:eek:

should i reflash or something?

i don't think my battery is damaged since it's relatively new,plus i never experienced this in stock rom

answers would be appriciated:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
in the stock rom i used before, i was charge my battery 2-3 times in a day as my usage (soc-med, games, phone call, etc). so in this customs rom is the same as when i use stock rom, im still charge my baterry about 2-3 times in a day. i think its normal :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hemustbepandu:
how about your display & brightness settings?mine decreased the battery level about 1% in 2-3 minutes,with the brightness only about 15%-20%(im not so sure,it's a slider bar:eek: )

i wasn't even palying games or anything, i was just browsing the apex launcher menu

but i don't want to revert back to stock rom:p lovin the ics:good:

hope it'll be better in the next release(s):)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
Actually, what ivankurnia trying to say is, there is no "Stable" (as in:all functions work without problem) version yet. All we have right now is what is posted at the Development Section, that is the "Most Stable" (as in: functional,daily-use friendly).

Yes CM9 is still in alpha, Yes there are many variants of ICS Rom (AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, etc) but all of them are based on Arco's CM9, thus having the same bug & functionality with CM9.

If there is a "Stable" ICS Rom, it will be announced at the Development section and the [Alpha] tag will be removed.

Did you install the HTC drivers on your computer? If you download and install the latest version of HTC Sync it should work.
[HTC One X] i900frenchaddict:
and if you have the drivers already, try to disable your antivirus and/or firewall before plugging your device. (it happened to me, my antivirus had too strict settings, preventing HTC drivers to install correctly, and also preventing adb to see my device plugged.)

Once in the bootloader you must select FASTBOOT first and then connect via usb and type in fastboot devices. If it returns a number you're connected. That, may fix your issue.
