[XPERIA X10 General] sandeeppathak007:
Ok everyone I have been able to get this done if someone is also facing the same issue like me here is what i did

1.google for omnius tool and download the tool along with R1FA016 indian firmware named as X10i_CUST_IN_GENERIC_1237_0692 from there and flash it

2. to flash it you will need to login to the tool now when you go to the website for omnius tool there you can create two login one is web and another one is application i guess the web login is for the downloading the file and the application login u need to use to login through the actual application

3. his will flash the stock the R1FA016 indian firmware and the u can do OTA to get the latest that is R2ba023

samsung qmg files. convert to .qmg

this is what I found on the samsung website. looks like they have released a qmg tool to me. I will explore this more. as for my self, NONE, absolutely NONE of what I have tried and what others have suggested has worked for me to replace my samsung bootanimation. I am hopefull this tool will be the trick.

I read this tool creates qmg file but will not read them.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

if someone can just find out where in phone it tells it to only look for qmg file for boot animation and over look any other file extentions then maybe the issue will no longer be a chore...:)

*******as of 10/21/2011 I give up on the bootanimation for samsung fascinate...spent too much time on this for nothing.

Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G GT-P7320T

Hi,

I too have had no luck with finding info about editing .qmg files, as far as I can tell the only option is to swap them.

After much swapping with poor results because the files I found were for phones not tables..

I found that I could copy the second part of the bootanimation bootsamsungloop.qmg

and rename it to bootsamsung.qmg to replaced the first part of the bootanimation

so that instead of an ugly orange Telstra swirly logo and then the Samsung logo, it was just the Samsung logo.

Then I did the same for shutdown.qmg to get rid of the orange Telstra swirl on shutdown.

bootanimation part 1 = /sustem/media/bootsamsung.qmg <--telstra logo

bootanimation part 1 = /sustem/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg <--samsung logo

shutdown animation. = /sustem/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg <--telstra logo

While I couldn't get rid of the Samsung logo at least I was able to get rid of the Telstra logo.

Also, you could try no boot or shutdown animation, just rename the above .qmg files to old.qmg

With no bootanimation its just a blank screen, and without a shutdown animation the desktop is displayed until the device turns off.

Hope that helps :)

QMG Bootanimation

I copied the default (.qmg) bootanimation from my phone to my pc. Can I use that (.qmg) bootanimation on a custom rom ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I've had my sgs for only about a week but I think i can comment on some of these points.

I thought the lag issue with touchwiz was fixed by the latest firmware? For now just changing to launcher pro and using an auto-kill feature with a taskmanager will fix the issue. It is pathetic imo and the phone shouldn't have been released this way.

Yes kies is a bit unstable and just connecting to a new pc in any way can be a pain sometimes, hopefully samsung will fix this.

My phone says it's been unplugged for 9:28hrs and I'm at 90% battery. It was idling with wifi on. That's pretty good, I use a static wallpaper and use a taskmanager with autokill feature since I was ending up with waaay to many open apps. People keep saying android manages that automatically but my phone gets laggy and low on memory.

The samsung facebook app is crap but what's wrong with the one from the market?

It could be a great phone but right now it's definitely still an unfinished product, but I believe it can and will be fixed in the coming weeks or months.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacGuy2006:
Well, I am kind of like you: I had an HTC Trinity and an iPhone 3G and 3Gs.

I liked the iPhone, but wanted Flash and got fed up with Steve Jobs' arrogance.

So I paid almost $800 for the 16gb Galaxy S.

Android has come a long way, but 2.1 is definitely not as elegant or as smooth as iOS.

The devil (and Jobs) is in the detail, and the Apple product is almost perfect, and very user friendly. My wife took one look at my Android screen and declared it ugly. And, sadly, the design of the icons, the visual continuity between screens, and the smooth operation of iOS, are just not in Android. Yet, hopefully.

Similarly with of the apps in the Market. Many are poorly designed, compared to the majority of what's in the App Store.

Having said that, I am actually enjoying my Galaxy S. It has a really gorgeous screen. It has much better integration with both Google Voice, and with Phone.com (which I use)

For email, I installed the open source k-9 email client, which, while lacking some visual finesse, is more functional than the regular email client. Get it from here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Email/K9-Android-71552.shtml (it's newer version than in the Market).

I expect Android 3.0 to be on par, and hopefully better, than iOS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
For the battery I will do a precise test tonight and see what happens after one night idle but your experience ( 90% after 9hours) would be good to me !!

Finger crossed

I will try app like autokiller but I think I have to root my phone ?? As I said I am a newbie for android andI don;t know yet how to do ( it looks like it can be done through odin)

For K-9 I already had a look at it but I think it's only ofr IMAP and POP3 and not for microsoft exchange ??

The default mail app is actually working fine for my hotmail account. I only have problem with the exchange account

This afternoon again I amanged to received 2-3 and when I go the notification I went directly to the app to sync .... " impossible to connect to the server "

EDIT : an other drawback compared to all my other phone : how to correct a typo on a text without a trackball or arrows in the keyboard ?? Answer : by touching the screen 10 times until you reach the correct position ... Nicely done

I was the first one to say that the iphone was crap , that it couldn't handle flash or mms ... but android can't even get my mail !!!

Regarding Touchdown I thought it was the perfect app and I just got an example where the iphone works better. When you forward an HTML mail with an array it is either as an attachment ( crap !!) or you can edit in line and have it in ther mail but you lose the format of the array ... I can tell you that my boss ( a real apple fanboy) was very glad to show me this

For Facebook ... I must confess I spent more time this afternoon on the default one and it's OK. The issue with the Samsung one is that it is continously loading data. When you switch from Home to profille and back to home for instance.

I really think too that this phone could be really good but it is clearly for the geek only. If you take it out of the box it is a real crap.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
No need to root, just use Task Manager from the market it has an autokill feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
task manager installed ... there are heaps of task manager

I took the one released by apollo software and I might test also the one released by rhythm software ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
I'm not going to troll, so please dont feel bad about my opinion, but for me it looks like you just didnt read enough before you bought your phone, to get to know your upcoming gadget, everyone have to put a lot more effort in gathering intel.

I'd say the prevention of this problem is quite simple: think before you spend your money, so you can spare a lot of tears and painful hours for yourself. I switched from iPhone 3G to Galaxy S and I am definitely happy with it. Lags gone with the update, all the functions I use are good to me - only thing I had to do is rooting cuz hungary doesnt have the full Android Market either, like Finland.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
I see what you mean but I have read a lot of reviews before I bought it and honestly when you look at the phones I had there were always bad comments on the reviews but I used to be able to workaround it. Maybe I will be also able to do the same here

Now as I said my main issues are the problem with exchange, the connection from my work desktop to kies or WM11

I am not sure I could have read somewhere that kies would work for my home desktop but not my work desktop ?

Or that the default mail app would not work with exchange and that I would have to pay 20$ just to get mails. And espcially the fact that the connection would be random.

The battery when you read the review is the same for all the smartphone, something like : not great battery but can last 1 day. It was the same for the iphone or all my other phone. But in my case it far from lasting one day even with everything switched off

For the lag, I knew that the out of the box Rom was not working fine but I expected better from the last Rom. It's better but not as good as an other phone with slower cpu

The only thing that I didn't know when I bought the samsung and that I could have known is the lack of trackball to correct a typo. I found this information only yesterday in a review.

but one more time I see what you means ... and I must confess I have been quite motivated by my frustration of apple ( and itune) and my colleague who has a desire working fine
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AyuCon:
I use the default mail app for exchange and imap. Works wonderfully for me. I get my contacts / calendar / mail from exchange and a few more email acc on imap servers.

To move the cursor you can press and hold the 123 button in the normal keyboard to get arrows to move the cursor (not found a way to do that with the swype keyboard)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crabby09:
For swype... Just swipe between the swype key and the symbol key for arrows, home/end, select/copy/paste etc. works well and is pretty quick.

Do you have the correct admin privileges at work?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
To the OP, It's ok to be critical, fanboys do nothing but make companies lazy, just look at Apple for example. I say ***** until it's as good as it could possibly be. In the end it's good for everyone :)

And thanks for the 'Hold the 123 button' trick! One more annoyance solved.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
The one from rhythm software looks nicer and is easier to use imo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
About the lags- Flashing to a new firmware reduces the problem, and there's already a solution my MoDaCo.

I just hope samsung implements it in the next firmware.

Either way, the lag problem is not here to stay, we're going to get rid of it soon.

About the battery-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=716197

After doing some charges/discharges and starting regular use with it, i have to say the battery life is better than any smartphone i had.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Robin.B:
About the battery drainage, make sure you go to "About Phone" in the settings menu and check the "Battery use". It will show you what has been using the most battery, and time since you unplugged the phone. My phone drains about 2% overnight in about 8 hours, and when I'm using it it's only really the display and the cell tower that's drawing power, applications shouldn't be consuming huge amounts of power, say above 8-10% unless you really use it a lot. The other day I noticed my phone had drained more battery than usual for some reason and it showed browser at 25% although I hadn't used it much. Make sure you don't have hung applications draining power! The Task Killer should help a lot here :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] al74:
Honestly. As a T-mobile G1 owner, a long time Android user, an Apple hater and someone who is considering purchasing the T-Mobile USA version of this phone soon, I have to admit that I can see where nicoloco is coming from. You expect some things to just work. Although I can understand the need to root my old G1 and use hacks and task managers to enhance its performance, it seem ridiculous that someone need to hack and use task managers to make a state of the art phone with a 1GH processor and 512MB of system memory work without a lag. This means that something is truly wrong! The fact that you need to keep killing processes to make sure you won't drain your battery is a huge problem of Android. You know what, perhaps Apple knows what it's doing with it's solution to multitasking.

I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
You DO understand it's a 2.5 week old phone and still has some "childhood problems", right?

Even the Nexus one was a bit of a troublemaker at the start, untill google took care of the various problems that popped up.

Give it a month or so, i bet you'll see those slips disappearing one by one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harts@J:
Why sync is working in the Windows Mobile phones but not in the Android phones?

The reason might be licensing. The Exchange mail protocol is propietary by Microsoft. If you like to sync, you have to pay for it. WinMo and iPhone in these days are used by corporate users, those phones include the Exchange license.

There are fewer Android users which need Exchange sync, why to pay, if you don't use? If you need it, you buy the software for syncing. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] siberslug:
WOW, I have the Nexus One and my phone is blazing fast, I'm kinda worried about getting the Samsung Vibrant now.

The Facebook app is not the same as the stock Nexus One ? I know most of the Countries outside the US do not have most of the apps the US does and I'm thinking maybe that's why you can't get a good facebook app.

Sorry but pretty UI's and cute transition screens are for girls lol I'll take function any day :D.

How many time have you charged the phone so far ? your not going to get full performance untill after 4 or so charges.

You also have to remember THIS IS NOT APPLE, Android is an open source platform, any Tom **** or Harry can publish an app, 1 badly written app can kill you battery in 3 hours, you have to make sure you only download highly rated apps and also read the comments, some apps work on some phones better than others.

Thy to press the back button instead of the home button, the back button is more likely to close an app and the home button is more likely to keep the app open.

Turn off "sync data in background" this sync's data like weather, Market place, GPS and things like that, if your not using it turn it off.

Download a 2G/3G switch turn off 3G if your not on the net or downloading something, that's the 2nd biggest battery drainer, especially if you have a weak 3G signal.

Doing all this should gain you at least 8 hours more

Not doing this on my Nexus One running 2.2 I get 10 hours.

Doing this I get 20-28 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Harts@J:
The situation varies through the Globe. Here in Finland where the Nokia has been the biggest in many companies, but in these days many companies uses iPhone (it is easy). We have almost 50 000 employees worldwide and the iPhone is now permitted in our Exchange server,too. WinMo has been allowed in years, but it is... Because of the Android 2.1 and earlier doesn't complete all the security issues in the Exchange, so it is rejected and no one can connect Android's to our Exchange server. This is the real life in the bigger companies.

The Froyo will upgrade this:

- Improved security with the addition of numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device.

Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices

.

- Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.

- Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.

- Auto-discovery: you just need to know your user-name and password to easily set up and sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher).

- Global Address Lists look-up is now available in the Email application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from the directory.

:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
Yes but in this case you are talking about major enhancement added by the new OS 2.2 ... not about a bug in a mail software

It's not a probleme of security or anything related to complex exchange configuration (our is quite basic).

I have even installed a mail app found on xda which seems to be coming from an other phone , maybe HTC ( message from HTC 1.0.0024).

It is a very basic app but at least it retrieves my mail

So now I have an app to get my mails from my exchange without any problem

It's time now to pay 20$ to get Touchdown and to have a nice look and feel :D

Reading posts like this worries me about getting one...

You seem like the first person I've read that isn't happy with battery.

I'm getting the ATT version. I know they're in bed with Apple, so I know they really won't care too much about pushing fixes though, so I know I'll have to rely on community.

I'm coming from a 3GS. It seems like these lag problems are fixed already, but the rest of it worries me. I'm with the other poster... If "true multitasking" means a hung app can continue sucking battery power: maybe Apple's solution is better after all, even as much as I hate them.

This seems like too much of a throwback to the Windows Mobile 6.0 days... I had to constantly stay on top of keeping Apps closed, etc... I don't have to do that on iPhone. Am I going back to the Windows Mobile 6.0 days here?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
Quite agree on this one. However, this is the problem for Andriod.

On aging itouch or iphone, facebook apps are ultra fast! Much better than web app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
I think I know where the OP is coming from.

I've got to admit, I came from an iPhone 3G. The choice was between this, and an iPhone 4, but having played with the latter, I was drawn to the Galaxy S as I wanted an Android phone, and this one, on paper, appears to be the best of the breed at the moment.

So, I get it, and suffer with bugs, laggy performance, random force closes and freezes. As I got mine not long after it first appeared, there weren't much in the way of comments on the subject.

Now I have flashed to JG1 and am happier, but still, the phone occasionally fails to wake up, and I have to remove the battery to get it to work.

The battery life is poor, especially compared to my mates iPhone 4. 3 hours of 3G browsing will drain the battery from full. It will drain by about 20% overnight just in standby!

I feel now like I am constantly on the lookout for problems and solutions, and that it has somewhat taken over my life(!) compared to the iPhone I had which just went about its business and was never really noticed as such, just a dependable workhorse.

I was bored with iPhone, and I like all of the customisation options available with Android, and I like the hardware, but overall, the experience is a somewhat frustrating, trying one. Nowhere near as polished as the iPhone, that is for sure.

I can overlook the slightly poorer quality of some of the apps if the phone itself wouldn't give these problems, and for now, I'll keep trying to solve them, but ultimately, if it continues to be unreliable in the way it has been, I'll be going back to the iPhone. In a way, this has taken me back to my Windows mobile days where weird bugs were the order of the day, and it was a given you would have to tweak it and replace elements of it with more capable ones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maverickzero:
I have my galaxy s for almost 2 weeks, and havent had any problems with it. My battery is not that nad either, standby at night take lile 8% or something and It last a day even using like 3 hours of wifi. Im really happy with it. Just for the note: I have the european version.

I wonder why we seem to be seeing such a disparate range of experience. From working great to completely crappy.

I'm going to get the Captivate, and am thinking it can't be slower than my old Tilt in any event. But am looking for more consistency in operation.

My wife is interested in a new phone too, and is debating between this and an iPhone 4. I am sure she should not have something that is problematic. I seem to want to gravitate to having her have the same thing as I, mainly because I think that ultimately the Google experience will show more capability (but who knows).

That all being said, what little pragmatism I can muster says to have her get the iPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] caelestis2:
Install a good task manager and fix the stalling issue for her and it'll be fine. I think battery OP is seeing is background apps causing trouble. Froyo supposedly has better battery life maybe better mem management.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ewingr:
That's what I've been thinking.

Regarding fix the stalling issue, I'm not sure we have an answer on that. The flashes out there I've been reading about are for native SGS. Not sure if they will work on the Captivate. But I'll be watching closely.
