Sorry but this wont help me. I need a diagnostics tool that tells me which app exactly eats my money. Whenever id turn on the apn androidos would still download stuff. I nearly never have mobile data on.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:Crack:.:
Thanks for trying to help but you cannot imagine how often i do a factory reset. This does NOT fix the problem of Android OS.

Have you enabled - back up my settings, etc. to my google account ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dominik916:
In most ICS Rom are widget buttons where you can find "Toggle sync". Disable synchronization by this widget doesn't help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:Crack:.:
Nope, I did not...

I disabled the sync toggle from the power management widget...

Its driving me crazy! :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dominik916:
Hmm, if you switched off general synchronization and it doesn't help, maybe try switch off synchronize in every application, e.g, weather, google play etc.

It's a bit strange, but maybe it'll help :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:Crack:.:
Don't know if that would help, since i use Droidwall to block all internet accesses on mobile data exept Dolphin. AndroidOS still has access but i cannot figure out why...

Which processes are AndroidOS? Is there any Spy App that could tell me this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Hmmm.... use a DroidWall from Google Play, if your phone is rooted.

After install, you can precisely set which app would you like to grant net access, and it is possible to allow access over wifi only.

Another what you can try is PermissionsDenied. Here you can set the net access via each app permission.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:Crack:.:
Now Im saying it thrice. I am using Droidwall!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:Crack:.:
AndroidOS is still eating my money...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bit2:
I guess it's not much solace, but I'm experiencing the same. I know a bit about Android/Linux/etc., so I took a look at the firewall rules. Theoretically it is possible that some packets are leaking through the rules of DroidWall (or the firewall rules of "avast! Mobile Security" ... but they are mostly the same as DroidWall's rules). Later I'll test this by adding a custom rule that logs everything that gets past DroidWall's rules and see if any traffic shows up that should be caught by DroidWall. I'll report back my results here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bit2:
Ok, I got to the bottom of this. In my case I was seeing very small amounts of data usage and it was attributed to the "Android OS" app/component in the "Settings / Data usage / Mobile" screen. As it turned out, the small traffic was caused by regular DNS requests (since I had "avast! Mobile Security" installed which always allows outgoing DNS requests ... regardless of your firewall settings). :)

I wrote a pretty thorough post on my experiences in my blog: muzso.hu/node/4943

P.S.: I do not have yet 10 posts on xda-developers so I was not allowed to insert a proper link to my blog post (but I guess a copy&paste is not too much to ask for if you're interested in the details)

PLEASE NOTE! All credit goes to sduvick and ayoteddy and nxd without them NONE of this would be possible. I'm continuing their name in a legacy because this ROM implements their kernel, and theme amongst other things. Though nxd wasn't with PDT, he contributed a working fix in the kernel for the keyboard logging problem.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ANY BUGS, so I CAN ATTEMPT TO FIX THEM!

CHECK YOUR MOUNTS, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!

Thanks to ayoteddy!

Can't wait for this, sounds amazing! Thanks!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] fodisu:
Sounds great!

But how can i make sure that 3g/4G stays off? Will the 'fast dormancy' turn 'use packet data' and 'data roaming' on itself? In my country it is way to expensive and i would like to be sure that that doesn't happen.

And for all the devs who are still looking after the Sidekick, keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] T3kB0i:
This is amazing that the community is still supporting the SK4G, brings joy to my heart =]
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Fast dormancy works if packet data and roaming remains on. In other words, if you leave them enabled while running WiFi, 4G won't be used. The second WiFi becomes unavailable however, 4G automatically begins being used. Hence dormancy. In other words the answer to your question is to disable packet data, and roaming, fast dormancy will not be able to turn it on then.

can you show us some pics please?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Sorry, I have no reliable way of taking a screenshot. However, I can describe it. It looks like GOV2, but the launcher is very PLAIN and fast. It may be hard to use at first, but it uses very little RAM and is worth the added amount of performance.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rdr4g0n:
Thanks for the updated rom

Looks like no one has really gone into detail on the changes, so I will outline the ones I have noticed coming from the previous GOv2. I am using GOV32+BULKY-ESSENTIALS

I started using Lightning Launcher and at first I didn't like it much, but after poking around the HUGE amount of customization options I have it totally rockin. I like the simple clean text label look, so my launcher and app drawer look like Zune now (sorta)

Contacts and Dialer are slightly reskinned. The new look doesn't use gradients so it looks much cleaner.

Messaging app is a little uglier since it's entirely grayscale, but it seems a bit faster and more useful (can hit enter to send finally lol)

The included ringers are horrible. Replace as soon as you can.

New pic viewer called QuickPic. Faster than the GOv2 viewer, with less eye candy, but still very usable and nice to look at.

Of course the new keyboards, but who doesn't use the physical keyboard :)

Overall performance seems a tad faster, but could just be placebo.

Not scientifically measured or anything, but the battery life seems about the same for me. When I goto sleep at the end of the day its around 30ish% which is the same as it was on GOv2. Maybe the lean performance build has better life?

That's all the stuff off the top of my head. Great update though. Thanks! :)

[edit] possible bug: tapping "themes and settings" in "settings" crashes com.android.settings.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks for the feedback. I dont mean to sound cocky but according to others this is the fastest performing ROM with the best battery life. As for.the theme settings crash this is normal.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rdr4g0n:
I believe you. it's the only rom I've ever needed because everything works so well :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks. Ill continue my work as far as I can despite the transition to ICS on Samsung Galaxy S 2.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rdr4g0n:
there is one thing. it could easily be my fault though, but the LED notification for SMS doesn't seem to work. the red one for missed call works, but purple for sms doesnt.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
As for that, good point. I had the same problem but can't figure out why. I never removed the .apk for it. Ill give that one a look tonight.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rdr4g0n:
another thing, adjusting ringer volume doesnt seem to apply it to sms notification volume.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
You need to change that manually in sound volume settings.

I'm running GOV3.2 Lean

1. Read and re-read flashing instructions in the original GOV thread, Jin's instructions here as well as on the Android Forums and Kediil's instructions on the noob thread & everything worked well. Waited around 5 minutes after reboot before unlocking the phone but my network wasn't being picked up (at all, not just internet). Checked the Wireless and Network settings and found out that Flight mode was checked. Unchecked this but it would say its enabling data without actually doing it and would remain checked. Holding power button, I disabled Flight mode on the menu that popped up and this time it stayed disabled but remained checked in the settings. Tried to enable WiFi but same story, wouldn't work.

2. Went to recovery & formatted cache & data, did the wipes & flashed GOV3.2. Repeated this and flashed it again for the second time. Rebooted and let it stand for a good few minutes. Unlocked and finally my network was recognised! I left it to its devices to build cache, etc and came back to find network gone again :/ but waited a while and it came back. Had to manually input APN though after which I rebooted & this time everything seemed to be working. I rebooted into recovery, wiped cache & dalvik and booted back into phone. Network was working and my call settings (voicemail, etc) as well as APN settings updated on their own to reflect my network values. So far so good ..

3. But (and its a big but), I can't connect WiFi??? :eek: going on the Wifi settings, when I go to connect to my wireless network, it asks me for the network password, which I give but then it goes into a loop of WiFi Authenticating Wireless Network after which the Authentication box pops up again and again while Wi-Fi is in a loop where it tries to Authenticate -> Authenticate Box Pops Up -> Wi-Fi Scanning (in the background) -> Wi-Fi Disconnected. After a while the pop up stops but WiFi keeps scanning and then going disconnected. Doesn't connect to my network. My network on the Wi-Fi Networks list says its Disabled (its not), Secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK and just refuses to connect. I've connected to some open networks and it connects without a problem but seems unable to connect to my Wireless Network :( whats going on? My internet works off 3G but I don't have a lot of data so I need Wifi!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
I've had a butt ugly problem like this once. I believe DHCP was giving conflicted IP addresses, so it was getting kicked off after being connected. However, the problem you describe seems to be like the passkey you gave was wrong. (It keeps asking you for the password, right?)

If you're certain you made no error, soft-reset your router.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eMJaaay:
Nah, password is correct, it just pops up two to three times when I try to connect and then goes into a loop of disconnecting, scanning and so forth & automatically puts my network as disabled :(

By router do you mean my WiFI router?

I think it might be IP address conflict .. how do I fix that?

Edit: Tried to connect a few more times. Still same problem. Forgot network, disabled Wifi, went to Advanced Settings & selected Static IP & put in my wireless network's IP address. Turned Wifi back on and network connected & works! Unchecked Static IP to check if it still worked & it did! Rebooted phone to test again and it connected to my WiFi automatically and seems to be working atm .. hopefully it won't break! Random but I wonder why it did that ://

PS: I'm still having the white contacts on SMS's To field problem .. is it just me or was this problem never fixed? Do you reckon changing from default messaging app to another one (GO, etc) would help?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sevenslugs:
Running go32 and its great..thanks a lot..loe the lightning launcher!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks glad to hear it!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
IO

I figured that would be the problem, static IP assigning can conflict with each other. For future reference, label your phones IP static higher up in the IP pool (192.168.1.121) or dynamically assign your phone an IP EVERYTIME it connects to the network.

As for white background this was never fixed. I'll be taking a look at this soon. Been preparing for college so I haven't had much free time and been working on my daily driver (SGS2).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eMJaaay:
No problem! I think the white thing might be a theme issue ... maybe try and change the theme font colour from white to maybe two shades or so higher? Because I've got the white background with text not showing up (till you touch it for the highlight blue) on a few other apps like Minimalist Text as well but its not a biggie :P

Other then than everything is smooth ... but is it just me or does GOV Lean not come with Google Search? o.O I've got the search option on settings as well as a search widget (though I think I only got this after installing ADW and a theme) but when I click on either one, nothing comes up. Tried to download it from the Play Store but it says app is incompatible with my device :S I'll try and back up the apk from my other device and manually install and see if that helps!

But seriously, everything looks awesome :D thanks a bunch to ayoteddy, sduvick and you :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
To be completely honest with you, I don't know of Google Search's functioning with our phone. I dislike using it, so I never have.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
Google Search definitely works on the SK4G, it comes with the stock ROM and I used it all the time. The problem is it seems Google only supports it in the market now for Jelly Bean+, which seems strange to me!

But yeah, if you have a copy of it from somewhere else, just install it. (You'll probably have to paste it into /system/app and set the permissions, since I think it works as a system app.) And if you need a copy of it, let me know.

Edit: if you do have a search widget, then maybe the app is installed, but isn't working on that launcher or ROM?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eMJaaay:
I think Google search comes with / works on all Android phones .. at least in stock right? Anyway I assumed it worked on stock (I never stuck around long enough to check any of the stock features :p) and was a bit confused because the app just wasn't installed on GOV3.2 Lean anyway (I looked for it using Link2SD and Titanium as well) and the search option under menu as well as the widget just wouldn't do anything (unless I clicked on voice search, which was installed on my phone).

Anyway I solved this by getting the apk off the internet (my other devices show it as incompatible as well :/ one's on CM7 but the other is stock HTC :S) which installed Google Search's widget .. but it still wouldn't work on the Menu Search. Then I used Link2SD to move it back to the phone and convert it to a system app, rebooted and its working fine now :)

Jin, what do you use for search?

Any other users not being able to access search? You might have to add Google Search (or any other search app if you don't like it) to GOV Lean ... or maybe its just me who didn't have it lol.

Except the LED issue RAGE ROM users are facing as well as the white background / white foreground text, everything else is working perfectly (I hope?! lol) .. my phone is looking mighty fine :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Glad to hear it!

But haha, for search I use my browser -- Dolphin HD Mini.

Hi

I just bought this mobile on the US using ebay, it's new and unlocked, I live in Italy and I want to use the mobile with my simcard (Vodafone), so the unlock is necessary for me, but if I change the rom, with this custom rom Can I use the mobile with my noTmobile simcard or I lost the unlock and everything?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
As long as you unlock, and KNOW the code to unlock, *once it's unlocked it's unlocked forever on that network* so no, changing ROMs won't effect you. Go for it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Vomar:
The seller on ebay give to me the mobile already unlocked, I don't know if he put the unlock code on the box on a little piece of paper...

I only have to wait until the mobile comes to my house (1 week or maybe two)

I own a nexus with 4.1.1 and have a mobile with android 2.2 makes me really sad....:D

I saw here on the forum a guide for get the unlock code dicertly on the mobile memory/files, maybe I can use that guide if I mess everithing?

p.s.

I wish to apologize with everyone, because of my bad English, shame on me!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
Your written English is great... Good job!

Yes, you will be all set either way. If the phone is already unlocked, that will be permanent. And if he gives you code too, all the better... but also you can retrieve the code yourself with that guide :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Vomar:
thank you for all the informations, now I only need to wait for the package.

It's a shame that this mobile only have a old 2.2 version of android officially, what's wrong with Samsung and T-mobile?

Maybe at least Gingerbread could be officially released.....:eek:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:
Unfortunately, Samsung (or rather T-Mobile) has told Samsung they no longer wish to further support the device and it has been discontinued. However, development for this phone isn't completely dead, we have a few people left, one of them being myself who advocates this phone until death despite using different phones.

Who did you buy if from? I got mine from GSM free .. or something like that & it was sold unlocked, my UK sim worked on stock, as well as the custom ROM I installed so you should be good to go .. given that its a reputable seller and the phone is legit unlocked of course :)

Damn, now I'm really eager to play with it :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] eMJaaay:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
The unlock tutorial works, I was successful in finding the unlock code with it. Tried this ROM and got nothing but f/c's at first boot so I went back to my previous ROM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Vomar:
f/c? I can't understand what means :( (Forced close?)

By the way, the foreing office (let me know if this is the right translation) has ended all his internal tasks, so no papers are necessary to send back to them, so I guess the seller write on the declaration the right price of the object, so I think I can recive it maybe during the first half of the next week.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TheLastSidekick:

Installed in my wifes phone (lean version). on first boot had a few fc's. My wife hated the launcher, got errors attempting to install any other launcher.

But my wife is 99% connected to wifi so not really an issues. Thank you for your work.

I've been using GOV 303 until now and it was pretty awesome so far.. I tried flashing lean performance gov 3.3 and i also get a bunch of force closes on boot.. but it works fine after that. the phone .apk is the one crashing i think. I'm gonna try the bulky essentials build now, and just get rid of whatever i don't want/need.. Should be more or less the same, right? except some of the newer tweaks?
