[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
It's strange because on my HTC Magic there is no lag or waiting time when clicking the "home" button.. I only see this problem with the Galaxy in videos.. I'll be getting my phone today so I will see. but I am guessing the problem could be from the automatic task killer that comes with the phone, maybe each time you go back to the home when using an application, the auto task killer may be trying to allocate memory for it or to attempt to close it or whatever it wants to do with it, thus making it longer..

I read on the Singaporean forum that when someone disabled the auto task killer the lag was gone. We'll see :D :D I hope it's true =)

either that or the home button does not respond well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] msedhom:
Thanks for the heads up! Anyone else experiencing the same lag?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Did they mention how they disabled the built in task killer? Have looked through settings and can't find anything. Unless they were taking about the atk from the marketplace? I had that installed but got rid as it was causing the worst of the lag.

any one know how to get mass storage working on usb connection, windows detects the drives but cant access it..

Tanks for sharing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Heh, this one confused me too ;) Once I'd installed Samsung Kies and connected with that I got a pop up showing the mass storage and I could then drag and drop to either internal or external storage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Now I'm not sure if this is just an android thing, but even though my handset has been sitting idle for the last hour (bat the internet), about 20 apps have opened themselves up, even ones that don't really have any business opening themselves up for no reason (like notes, etc). Had gone down to 62mb memory, after closing them was back up to 180! (which strangely is the most it's been all day!?).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Install autostarts (paid application)

and you can control what starts at bootup or when connection changes or etc... anything you want, you can disable what you don't want.

I just got my Galaxy S in this morning. Handtec took a little bit longer in getting it to me, but $550 including shipping couldn't be beat. So, in retrospect, I'm glad I chose Handtec.

I will have some video reviews up, but I am still in the process of fully understanding my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] J-Hop2o6:
whats the name of your Power Control widget (the one on 2.1 AOSP only has 5 toggles)? and the name of your Battery Info widget? where can i find them (if i can't in the marketplace).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Battery widget is from Curvefish. search for batterylife.

Power widget is from extended controls, it is a paid app.

Hope this helps.

Edit: The Autolock feature does not work.

Is there somebody success to compile the XDAndroid on the new fedora 13?

when i make it, ld DSO linking error occur
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelastgoodbrother:
First off, I am rooted with the "unrevoked" method. I have notice that my alarm clock only goes off sometimes. I cant figure out what the pattern is. This is my 4th android phone, so I know how to navigate and set things up. I have it set for Mon-Fri @ 6:05am w/ a stock alarm tone (light).

I am back to using my regular house alarm clock with the blaring radio. Anybody else have this problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axelbot:
Do you use a task killer? If so, you should set it to ignore the clock. It will kill the clock and prevent it from going off.

Better yet, find a way to do things without a task killer, but that's my two cents. You can use a task killer if you so desire.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelastgoodbrother:
Thanks, I actually was using task killer. Why do you say not to use it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
I don't use an automatic task killer simply because it's not needed, at least not for me. I have plenty of RAM available at all times and this way I don't risk killing off something important. The only time you should need to kill a process is if it is misbehaving by using lots of data or CPU time or not properly going to sleep. Otherwise your phone will generally be faster with a lot of ram in "use" because it's being cached and can be used by other programs. For more information look up how Linux handles RAM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuglessPete:
I was hoping some of the kernel devs can help me with a quick question. I am familiar with unpacking and repacking boot.imgs for the Droid but not for the Evo, I usually use the method found here. Is there an alternate method or even some perl scripts that will make the job as easy as it is for the Droid? Note: I am not trying to compile a boot.img, I just want to be able to edit the ramdisk of existing ones. Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
reading through the tutorial you linked to, i see perl scripts and directions. is there a certain part of that tutorial you've used on the EVO and have had trouble or its resulted in some kind of error? guess i didn't catch what isn't working for you?

edit: reviewing the tutorial again, i have been wondering which partitions are which on our phone? boot mtd2/3 ? recovery mtd2/3? i know system is mtd4 and data is mtd5 ...

once i know which partition for sure is boot, it might be worth while for me to grab the kernel and post up the stock ramdisk as a starting point for all those looking to do simple kernel mod'n ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuglessPete:
Not sure why this got moved out of development section, as it is related to developing a boot.img although it was a question.

I used the unpack perl script and it threw an error. I will also try the split script when I get off work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intervigil:
Sorry to resurrect a dead topic, but I'm looking into this as well, and I haven't been able to modify a ramdisk successfully (I'm basically looking to set ro.secure=0 in default.prop). I typically use the same procedure as Pete outlined in the link, but using that for the EVO results in a hang at the bootscreen. (the white HTC EVO 4G screen seen on boot) Any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmartburrito:
Resurrecting this topic once again.

ADB functionality is broken in Sense FroYo roms, maybe all froyo roms. I can communicate appropriately through fastboot and through ADB in Recovery, but not when running.

The /sbin/adbd process isn't running like it is on other ROMS, such as eclair and gingerbread.

Following this link:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437

I found that some nexus one devs had the same issue, and had to replace the adbd process on the ramdisk with one from another build that worked in froyo.

Following this guide that everyone links to:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.p...cking.2C_Editing.2C_and_Re-Packing_the_images

I was not able to use the included unpack/repack perl scripts without modifying them. It appears that the Evo has another file at the end and that script wasn't meant to handle that. Others commented out that line that kills it, I did so, but apparently that script doesn't grab the header appropriately, and the repack doesn't work appropriately for another. I get the white boot screen and it stays indefinitely.

I took the Boot.img and went through a hex editor to do it manually, and wasn't able to get the ramdisk to unzip correctly.

I'm at the end of my rope, and need someone else who's much smarter than I am to assist in what steps to take next.

I am developing a new app, and desperately need to have ADB working inside FroYo. I would run CM7, but it doesn't work right all the time, and has bad battery life for me. I use my phone for business too, so it all has to be stable.

Any ideas? I have lots of this stuff available as I've been working on it for the past couple days, so I can post links and the like to help bring anyone up to speed with what I've done. Thanks a crap-ton in advance. If you can help me get this working, I will send you a donation!

Also, this will fix ADB in all Froyo roms too, so you'd be doing the community a great favor as well.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
Adb does work in sense froyo roms. It works on mine and I nandroid between my daily sense rom and my dev sense rom when I need to. I prefer to use adb through recovery but I have successfully adb pulled and pushed com.htc.resources from the framework while my device was running just last night. I have also not changed the adb file in the ramdisk (even though I could if I wanted to) so I doubt adb not working in sense roms is the issue unless the rom maker did in fact mess with the ramdisk and inadvertently messed something up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmartburrito:
It's not working for me on Fresh 3.5, Evio 1.8, or Mik's Z rom that was just released. I can go back to my PC36IMG.zip (eclair) or CM7, and it works just fine.

I've tried stock and custom kernels, to no avail. I'm absolutely NOT the only person with this issue. As you can see in the post above, Nexus one users are having the same problem, as are tablet owners with Tegra 2 chipsets, etc.

So, let me ask you, what ROM are you using? Is that the only ROM you've used since upgrading from Eclair?

I am at a loss for why this isn't working. As I said before, the /sbin/adbd process is NOT running, and I get a segmentation fault when attempting to launch it. It works fine on CM7 and Eclair, but NOT froyo. Not brand new, unaltered ROM installs, nothing. Whatever it is, the only thing in common is Sense and FroYo.

Thanks for responding, I think at this point I just need people to provide other things to look at that I haven't thought of. I'd still like to learn how to unpack and repack though, it could be a last resort.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
For my daily I use a rom based on miks eng base that I rooted and edited myself. For my dev rom I use joeykrims odexed rom that I deodexed. I also use a barebones 3.70 taken directly from the ruu, rooted and edited myself as well as deodexed it.

My two dev roms provide me with at least some sort of variables since joeykrim adds some extras to his rom.

In all three roms, the only thing I changed in the ramdisk is the kernel I compile and use (htc15 compiled to have sbc, havs, undervolt, etc.).

It could be (possible though unlikely since others do have success with adb on the roms you mention) that the ramdisk may have been edited in a way that prevents adb from starting in the init files.

Again just last night, both on my replacement evo and my wifes evo (she runs what I put on her evo which is usually a more polished version of mine) I used adb while the devices were running to pull some system apps and do some editing and then pushed them back. These are both sense based 3.70 roms using the same kernel.

Your situation is puzzling me at the moment since you said it works fine on cm7 and eclair but not on any sense based froyo roms. I would have drawn the same conclusion but since I personally can use adb on a sense based froyo rom I have to think the problem lies somewhere else and not solely on froyo. I'll try to duplicate this situation though I don't think I can without seeing what your device looks like.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mycomputerisjunk:
Aside from this battery and cover completely destroying the sleekness of the Incredible... Is anyone ordering it?

I'm thinking about it, but then again I don't care for the brick look n' feel on a phone.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jdmba:
Nope

Looks horrid.

I own every OTHER battery made for the Incredible (nice strategy ... keep releasing larger and larger). The 1750mah did not do much for me, but the 2150mah is wonderful (especially if you follow the PROPER charging method of: [1] charge with power on, [2] when orange goes to green choose power off, [3] wait for orange to go green again).
[Droid Incredible Accessories] davisbs999:
is that battery out already? I thought that it wasn't coming out for a while so I ordered the 2150
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mycomputerisjunk:
I actually used this charge method on my 1500 ma battery, and it lasts much longer. Moderate usage and I am still at 70% at 5pm in the day. Unplugged it about 7am.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] the337:
Quick question. What if you just turned it off to charge it to begin with? Not taking into account if someone uses it as an alarm clock or anything. Just say I turned it off right before I went to sleep.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jdmba:
Nope

You are free to mess around as you see fit; but the steps are as outlined. Charge with the power on; wait till green; choose power off; wait till green; unplug and enjoy much longer battery life.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jexy:
Let's try this again. 3500 Innocell

Got 2 of the 3500's and turned back in the 2150 to Verizon. Got the Charger that allows the phone and the spare 3500 to be charged simultaneously. 1st Battery was put in after the light just turned green from charging. This lasted about 36 hours before the message about needing to be put on the charger came back on. By this time the 2nd battery had been charging for about 15+ hours. Plopped it in and as of right now. The battery usage is reporting 48:21:51 Up time Awake time is 8:03:49 and there is 4 segments left of the 10 showing for the remaining battery. This is the kind of performance I am expecting from a battery. I will later perform a hard test on the battery. I will do an all movie time running of the battery to see how long it can last when the screen is on the full time running Movies.:)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jexy:
3500 Mah performance Awesome!

Completed the testing of the 3500 Mah down to 4% of remaining power Watched 4 full length movies each over 2 hours. People who take long flights Get ready for fun. Phone at 4% remaining = 1 bar of 10 on battery screen.

Uptime 26 hours 45 min.

Awake time 13 hours 18 min Based on this a single battery would allow only 1 battery to be used for an international flight from Chicago to Hong Kong and still have plenty of battery left to get to a charger. The bad part is this Verizon phone will not work in HK or China. Different frequency from what I have been reading.

Cell Standby 23%

Android System 21%

Display 17%

Phone Idle 12%

Bluetooth 11%

Wi-Fi 10%

Mediaserver 4%

No need to be smart about it. My buddy has the same rom and with moderate usage he gets 24 hrs of battery life. And also, It down clocks to 245mhz when it is not in use.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Well, you've answered yourself - if the ROM is the same, you have 3 options: faulty battery, faulty HW, or different apps installed and one of them draining your battery.

You can test the battery by switching batteries with your buddy, and you can check the apps by doing Nandroid backup, wiping everything and monitoring the phone battery drain, possibly even comparing logs of switched off devices (yours and your buddy's). In case you'll keep seeing significant difference - there will be no other way but to assume your HW is faulty. In case your battery is ok and wiping helps - install apps one by one and monitor, to find the rogue one.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
You should check the "Other Usage" section of the Battery History (in Spare Parts). See if your phone is sleeping at all. If the awake time is 100%, then something is keeping it awake, so check the "Partial wake usage" to see which app is doing that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
going from 100% to 94% while you sleep overnight seems pretty normal to me. certainly doesnt seem "bad".

definitely use system panel to see what's using your CPU. in monitoring, history, plot, top apps.
