Could you update the version to this one and add these images (attached) to drawable-hdpi aswel? You will get a holo-like top bar and dividers (see image attached).

Thanks again!

thank you very much for updating this awesome mod :D. I have just tried it, and scrolling in chat windows is now really smooth :D. But the emoji windows is still laggy :(. I hope to see a new version soon :D. And btw, this modded version seems to use lots of memory (~30MB), where the original one use only ~20MB :confused:

If you haven't already, try using the 'search' function in the 'Q&A forum'. If you search up terms like "fast rom", "stable rom", "fast and stable", etc. etc. you might get a lot more opinions than waiting for us to respond. Or you can just try scavenging up a few dead threads manually.

And my one and only answer: Darkside Evolution v8. It's got great battery life, pretty darn fast in fact(In fact, the rom is underclocked on my phone @ 1350mhz and it still hasn't slowed down), and it's just ridiculously stable. Good luck choosing though :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzjoe:
Hello everybody,

I think I have a serious problem with my SGS+. On the mainboard is something that looks like a small battery. It is located between the camera and the loudspeaker (see attached photo). The (assumingly) battery is covered with acid. Two days ago some water poured into my phone through the headphone jack, i recognized it the next day. Since then the power button started to react badly, until it died completely today. I cant even turn my phone on (i have no access to a computer). Might that problem has something to do with the thing on the mainboard? And if it is a battery, can i replace it (the type would be useful)?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you for reading my question!

jazzjoe
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
I am no expert on this, but my uneducated guess is that it is fluid related to a blown capacitor rather than a battery, at least i would draw that conclusion firmly if we were talking about a pc motherboard.

Sent from horseback.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzjoe:
Thank you for your response. Well if it is a blown capacitor, what could be the consequence? By the way. When i woke up this morning the power button magically respondend, so right now i'm writing from the device. The button reacted a few more times (tried it with locking the device not shutting it down:)), then it stopped reacting again, that was 5hrs ago. Everything else works fine by now. Can i replace the power button unit? And if it is possible how?

Anyway thank you for your interest, i hope some ideas still to come.

Greetings

clean first, wrap in tissue paper and place it in dismantle form in a bag a rice for a day or two ...than try it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
If it IS a blown capacitor, you could experience anything from failing to power up to cpu overheating. The liquid from capacitors is electrolyte and usually brownish in color.

I don't think it is possible to replace it by soldering a new one on like one could do with a pc motherboard.

Again, I might be far gone here, I would assume that the capacitors in a phone would be smaller than that and I haven't done any research on it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzjoe:
Thank you very much, all of you have been a great help! So you believe the power button issue is caused by the water? Then i'll do the rice and tissue treatment and will later stick to the battery. Thanks again, i'll report the results.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzjoe:
Hello again,

after 24+ hours in rice i reassambled the phone. It took me 2 hours to start it. There must be some problem with the on off switch. I met a guy who has some experience with pcs and he said it might be a cold solder joint. What do you think? Might there be another explanation. Like i said, once the phone started it runs smooth. The battery by the way should be something like the cmos at a computer, so it wouldn't bother me if it is dead. Any ideas?

jazzjoe

Ps: is there any way to turn the phone on without a pc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
There should be a couple of connectors that you could short with a piece of metal if only the power button itself is broken. But I have no idea where they are or if they're accessible at all.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzjoe:
Sounds a little bit dangerous to me. Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Frankly, it would take a lot more time to fully dry out a water damaged phone with Rice, as moisture stuck in between chips and contacts are to minute and in accessible to be fully removed. ( an XD posted a few days back, that he left his unrecoverable water damaged phone , and after 8 months it was working fine by itself) so .... it may need more time and I think compressed air is one way to get water out of headphone slots

The power switch is prone to damage as it is sandwiched in between the front and back covers of the phone , IF you did not notice it is can be bent or spliced by the forcing the back cover when you assemble it, since it is only a flex (film)

IF your problem came to be because of water damage than the problem is not due to switch but due to water causing the switch to fail, and its odd your battery is leaking, as this never happens in normal circumstances ...these batteries can last at least 5 to 10 years ...so you need to do some goggling to find out why a battery will leak
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uf0999:
I have the same problem.

The phone is not mine, it's my brother's one.

I've opened it and the button battery is oxidized.

I have to ask my brother if he has water "problems".

Anyhow the phone doesn't charge anymore so it won't turn on. I have to find a way to charge battery and try to switch it on.

It will be a pity to trash it ;D

[HTC Titan] Pacone93:
My new Titan (Vodafone branded with official Tango ROM) every about 10 days is not able to boot after switch on. It either frezees on the HTC logo or enter in a continuos reboot loop. To recover I have to enter the bootloader menu (Power on key and Vol. Up / Down pressed simultaneously) and factory reset the device. Apart for such problem the phone works correctly.

I have already brought the device for repairing to HTC (as it is still under warranty) but without any result (the only effect was that I was without phone for about 1 month). I am thus not very keen to send it again to HTC for repair.Do you have any suggestion for the reason of such beahviour? Should I ask for a phone substitution?.

Thanks

Did you buy the phone as new ? Its possible that someone has change the Radio ... ?

Honestly, It wouldn't be that bad. Softbank isn't a bad telecom.

Sprint's Key advantages are its Network Vision Towers & consumer wise, its unlimited data. With T-MOBILE bringing it back it'd be silly to remove that anytime soon. Softbank could build on that faster.

Now if it were Verizon, Vodafone, Rogers, Bell or Any Other Canadian Telecoms it'd be a horror story.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yeah, I saw this article early this morning and just thought,...'sugar daddy,...and herre comes LTE'. I can't imagine them changing sprints business model (pricing plans) much.

I thought it seemed like good news.

Article I saw also made note of sprints share in clearwire and alluded to that being a positive in this acquisition, but I forget exactly how.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Overstew:
Yes. Exactly this. Softbank is investing into Sprint so Sprint now has another cash flow. If anything, this will speed up nv deployment, but won't see much change until next year.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Steve5400:
I love how the ignorant xenophobe gets thanked...

Realistically it means more jobs created by the investment in the network. The profits may be going overseas, but it isn't like Sprint was making profits anyway.

I don't really care who my money goes to, as long as my cell phone is capable of receiving data... Hopefully soft bank fixes this broken network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
Yes let's trade data speed for more American recession, this buyout isn't on the right track at all. Let's not go tossing around the the word 'ignorant'. I'm no xenophobe, I am someone who believes in keeping more American jobs and businesses in America.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Steve5400:
How does foreign investment in American companies cause recession?

Sprint will stay in business, keeping workers at the stores, hiring contractors to build towers.

It's not like they are going to outsource the entire company to Japan.

Or, Hesse can keep making bad bets on obscure technologies and play catch up with other carriers until the lenders quit lending.

Granted, I am not going to Japan to test out soft bank, but I bet their coverage allows data coverage in buildings. It can't get worse.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:

I guess you can ask a contractor what he thinks about having work to do. But your understanding of economic ramifications is not the issue.

If the deal goes through, it helps Sprint. The owner of Softbank has a plan for the company, and I imagine it will be miles better than Dan Hesse's strategy of cute advertising and not much else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Well there's Hesse's swagtastic spending that has been pissing off the board on top of the cute advertising.

Americans have the tendency to have short term investment goals, whereas Japanese or European companies go for the long term benefit. This only means more jobs in theory. With Sprint being located in US, there will be more jobs here. I'm all for this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Docarut:
I agree in a sense. Boots on the ground doing the work/heavy lifting may benefit if Sprints footprint increases in terms of customer conquest from other carriers. Where there will be head rolling most likely in duplicity of executives between the two arms of the resultant company.

I agree, and I hate it. It's the new normal way of the corporate world. It sucks because we are all at fault. We want cheap, instant gratification.

A good percentage of the cellphone industry in the US is already foreign-owned:

Verizon Wireless = 45% owned by Vodafone (British company)

T-Mobile = 100% owned by Deutsche Telekom (German company)

Almost every handset maker is Korean, Taiwanese or Japanese (and all of them, including the US makers, build the handsets overseas)

Other than Sprint going completely belly-up (which would reduce competition & probably raise prices), what alternative would you prefer?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
There is no alternative, doesn't mean I have to like it, I'm just voicing my opinion.

Actually one alternative is stated before would be an American company investing in Sprint. But, as I said, I'm no business or economic major. I don't really know the way things are run.
