[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
I am testing as well... i want to access company mails mainly (ok, contacts and calendar would be great too, but it's not essential) and three imap accounts. What i have tried so far:

- stock: works, but forces me to enter a security code (triggered from exchange server admin). Besides that, the stock app doesn't have any settings to change preferences on imap servers (folder location, etc.), therefore a no-go.

- k-9: i am using k-9 mail for all my imap accounts, works like a charm, i can point to the correct folders (for sent mails, spam, etc.), but i can't get exchange to work, although i tried various options from their wiki.

- touchdown: i tried this app as well, works very well. As i am using exchange 2007, it shows only new and unread mail, no old mail. Besides that and the fact that it seems to be rather slow (and expensive for this poor performance), it would be my first choice.

Any other suggestions (or hints, how to get k-9 exchange work or touchdown faster) would be really appreciated.

All the best,

ww

I am using moxier mail. A bit expensive bit does the job. I mainly bought it to have access to my company GAL. It syncs mails, calendar, contacts and tasks but not notes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
Is Moxier mail synching contacts with pictures or without? I think, i will give it a try although there is no demo version... but i have 24 hours to test it ;)

Greetings,

P.S. maybe i will give the modified stock email.app a try... seems that one xda user has removed the security addons... more here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775007

I tried improved email. It's pretty good except that the email I sent via it is in 1 long line when viewed in the outlook client.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] brunes:
I don't know what you are doing but the stock email app has none of the problems you describe with outlook.

- I have never had an error downloading a message. I use Push for delivery. (other options have battery drain issues), so you don't have to "schedule" a sync since it is always in sync

- Messages are sorted in recieved order for me

- Images in HTML emails I have no issue with

In short - I think the stock email app works perfect with outlook, in fact it is better than the Microsoft Outlook mobile I used to have in WM 6.5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
For my country, no version is available - beta versions seem to be very buggy. I am testing moxier right now - looks quite nice for the first hours...

Okay, it is just for exchange, but it is working fast and almost without any errors - for all other mail accounts i am still using k-9.

Allt the best,

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webwude:
You forgot the new security settings (which means, if your exchange admin turns on the "use a pin to secure your phone" feature). After i tried the stock mail app of froyo, i had to turn pin code on screen lock on. Besides that, the system never managed to sync more than 100 contacts - therefore the stock app personally is a no-go.

All the best,

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
Dunno why but for some reasons, the stock email app will FC when opening certain emails, especially those with alot of frames.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] grokon:
On my side I use touchdown (and old version that i "found" ;-) on the net) because I need to have access to the GAL.

Had no issue with it except that it is slow.

If the stock mail app would have supported GAL i would not really had looked other mail app.

Doing so, if a free app would support GAL i would switch!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] brunes:
We use Exchange 2003 so I don't know anything about that option. I do know however that I have 237 contacts on my phone and it syncs fine.

Emails can't have frames... not sure what you're referring to here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
Not sure exactly what causes it also. I am talking about those HTML emails sent out by my corporate communications. Those typically are very complicated in layouts with different frames (ie HTML frames) showing different information. When I tried to read such an email, the email app FC. Everytime.

I just replaced the email app with the galaxy tab one and it doesn't have this problem anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lunasea:
touchdown

I've tested several email clients and opted for Touchdown because I personally think it has better integration features.

Regarding Touchdown lags, I've found this post blaming sgs filesystem:

http://groups.google.com/group/nitrodesk/web/slow-samsung-devices

Moving database to SD Card as suggested on the post didn't make that much difference on performance.

Since my Touchdown data doesn't occupy more than 25Mg, I've decided to move /data/data/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid to /dbdata/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid and then used a bind mount point to link locations.

Now Touchdown it's fast as hell, and been using this configuration for 1 month without any issues. (Using Doc ROM JPO 7.6.2, with no lagfixes)

Going to share my procedure in case anyone cares to use it, but as usual do it on your own risk so don't blame me if you for some reason your TD data gets corrupted or lost.

Before doing this, it is wise to make sure you have touchdown backed up by titanium backup or similar software.

Note that you need root access to make this tweak.

Download the zip I've attached and copy it's contents to you sdcard. The zip contains:

- a script that moves the database

- a startup script to automount the mount point created by the script

The script basically does the following:

- Makes a local backup of /data/data/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid (creates a backup dir and does a tar cvf to it)

- Creates a directory /dbdata/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid

- Copies /data/data/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid/* to /dbdata/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid

- Removes /data/data/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid content

- Mounts /dbdata/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid in /data/data/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid content thru bind

- copies startup script to /system/etc/init.d

Now that you have the scripts on sdcard, connect with adb, enter su mode and go to the folder containing the script.

On the phone, open a taskmanager (like advanced taskmanager) and kill TouchDown process.

Back to adb, launch the script: #sh ./mv_dbtd.sh

Press enter to move on, and do NOT continue with the script if for some reason backup step fails (press ctrl+c to interrupt).

If everything goes ok, at the end you will have a faster Touchdown.

Sorry but I'm not posting info about how to root and use adb. There's plenty of info about this on the forum.

Cheers.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
I decided to get the setCPU app and check it out for the first time. I think I have a good handle on how to set it up and a good basic setup, but I have a few questions.

I am using the newest CyanogenMod ROM, CM 6 RC1

"Userspace" governor, the website lists it as "A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU" I am assuming this is some custom settings/tweaks included in the kernel by cyanogen/one of the dev's, but I am not sure. I have not enabled it yet until I know more about it, so some info here would be great. (the setCPU website says that all the governor profiles listed as available are based on the individual kernel, that is what made me think that the userspace is custom settings built in for cyanogenMod)

What would be a good "fail safe" temp setting to set up as a profile to prevent over heating in case something odd happens or I am outside on a hot day? I have it set to the default 50*C ATM.

Under advanced there is "powersave bias", defaults at 0%, anyone with a good setting to use for that?

Currently set it to over clock to 1113MHz, and I am looking for a good cross of extra speed/power with minimum battery impact or even some gain. (compared to stock) I have set up a screen off profile as well, with a 422MHz max to help battery life.

I did a search here on XDA and in google and didn't find much on this; I think a good "How To" sticky for setCPU would be great. Maybe give settings based on needs; performance, battery savings, or a good balance. (maybe break down the balanced option into battery biased and performance biased)

Here is what the standard flip clock numbers look like.

Each number appears to be centered in its own 100x128 pixel block in the total 1024x256 size of the image.

Is there an easy way to place the numbers in the same locations when making new clock numbers with different fonts? I am using Gimp 2.6 for image editing. Because it's free... and I'm cheap.

I found some girl on Kijiji wanting to trade her Week old Xperia X10 in pristine condition for an iphone 3gs. I ended up talking her into taking my beat up jailbroken iphone 3g + $25 for the Xperia. TomTom on the iphone was the deal closer. How jealous are you all :p

I love this phone and have zero regrets. Im a new member to this site and have really appreciated all the helpful posts on increasing battery life and general usage of android this being my first android phone.

If i had one complaint about this phone so far it is that i am unable to find an app that has a pc side server to stream all my movies over the net to my phone. I used to have one for the Iphone called AirWave (i think) that would do this while convert the video file to MP4 on the fly.

maby try rock player it plays DIVX on the handset if you have a big enough mem card for several movies :)

[XPERIA X10 General] Kroniq420:

I dont think such an app exists yet but Gmote is very close with their beta video player they just lack the codec support at the moment.

Hi all. I'm a long time lurker and 1st time poster. Having been a long time WinMo user (O2 xda2 mini -> HTC Tytn II -> HTC HD -> HTC HD2), I finally made the switch to Android with the Galaxy S (16GB, baseband version I9000ZSJF7) last week. I bought the phone mainly because of the fantastic looking screen and (supposedly) out-of-the-box FLAC playback. With much anticipation, I went to buy a pair of Westone 3 yesterday. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned as it seems like FLAC playback is broken on Samsung's Music Player that came with the phone. It seems like the Music Player is unable to finish playing a track w/o crapping out, and it would appear to crap out at the same location of the track every time it is played. When that happens, the music would stop with a popup saying that the Music Player has stopped unexpectedly, and I'm told to force close the application. Some of the things I've tried include:

1. Moving the FLAC from the microSD to internal storage. Same issue.

2. Installing andLess which would give me an "initialization error" whenever I play a FLAC file, regardless of whether "direct h/w access" (performed power cycle after change) is enabled or not.

3. Installing Meridian Player which simply fails to play any FLAC file.

The same FLAC files have always been fine on my HTPC (foobar2000), and appears to be working on the HD2 (CorePlayer). Also, I was able to replicate this FLAC playback issue on my friend's Galaxy S with the default Music Player and same basedband version as mine.

Has anyone successfully played your FLAC on your Galaxy S? What kind of software/setting do you use?

It'd be much appreciated if you guys can enlighten me! Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dexter666:
No problem with tested 43.79M 5:01/5:01 flac song.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junglist1996:
Hi Dexter, thanks for your response. I guess you must be using the stock Samsung Music Player? I suspect that the FLAC playback issue I'm having is related to the stock ZSJF7 ROM. This same issue can be replicated on my friend's phone with the same ROM and I couldn't seem to find another person having this problem after some Googling. Maybe I should bring the phone back to Sammy's service center for them to have a look at it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
Haven't had any issues myself.

Been playing Tupac's All Eyez On Me album (2CDs/27 tracks of epic lossless :D :D).

Tested on a few firmwares - JF1, JFB, JFF, and now JG1.

I have had music player crash once though (when I was downloading about 5 items at once.. and running a bunch of apps in the background, phone mega lagged and crashed lol)

The fact thats crashing on the same spot suggests to me that it might be a problem with your files, ie. they might be corrupt. I'm not a flac expert thought, but I've had similar issues with MP3s that are corrupt or imperfectly conforming to the MP3 standard, where some players would play and some wouldnt.

IIRC mixzing player might be able to play flac (free version can be downloaded from market)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junglist1996:
Thanks for your response. Are you using the default Samsung Music Player?

I initially thought that my FLAC files were to blame but I have run into the same playback issue with every single FLAC I've tried so far while playback of the same files is absolutely fine on the HTPC. I'll try to play these files directly from the microSD card when I get home. Another thing is that my friend was playing his own FLAC on his Galaxy S and we still run into the same issue on different phones. I think it's a bit unlikely that we both have corrupted FLAC that would otherwise play without issues elsewhere. As for andLess and Meridian Player, they simply won't work at all so the primary suspect would appear to be the Hong Kong ROM that we both have. As far as I know, andLess and Meridian don't require rooting, no (my phone isn't rooted)?

Anyway, I'll bring the phone to the service center and see what do they have to say about this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
No problems playing FLACs here with standard Samsung Music-player, on XXJF3.

Except, it doesn't read the ID3-tags, so they all appear as unknown artist - which is quite bothersome.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
yes, using default samsung player.

Like I said, I think there are some free players which can play flac, like mixzing if i remember correctly. You should try them

You said they all freeze at the same spot right... what spot is that?

Are you getting all your flacs from the same source/software? Are all the files the same length? Surely if say.. they all freeze at 1min mark, can you try a 59second song cut?

I'm a little skeptical I guess... it sounds more like software problem than a hardware issue.

I'd flash to a newer firmware if I was you, but I understand if you don't want to flash (the risks + data loss etc).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m3keni:
..been playing FLAC on my unit from when it was on stock firmware and now JG1.. no issues whatsoever.. yup, using the default player.

..weird that you are having issues on playing flac files.. it might be the case that the file is corrupted during transfer.. but i might be wrong.

..providing the details of the flac file here would help other experienced users assist you with your case.. just a friendly advise. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junglist1996:
Many thanks for the replies. I was at the Samsung service center earlier & their suggestion to me was use MP3 instead as FLAC takes up too much space & requires too much processing power! I don't buy that bs and I wouldn't think that's an ideal solution. The dude then "hinted" at installing a custom ROM or wait for the 2.2 update. Wow...

I've installed Mixzing which has FLAC support but unfortunately same issue as before. My FLAC collection consists of *cough* d/l'ed stuff and a few EAC rip of my CDs. What kind of FLAC info can I post? Anyway, I'll try to rip a few more CDs when I get the chance. Btw, does Android have native FAT32 support for microSD?

I know I need to make sure the FLACs aren't corrupted but I'm inclined to think this is an issue with the Hong Kong ROM which me and my friend has. And it seems like no one else is experiencing this issue! I know a third person who has this phone so perhaps I can try to verify with him also.

Thanks once again and I shall report back with any new findings.

edit: the playback would crap out at the different points for different track but always the same point for the same track. So I suppose that would indicate that something is wrong with the FLACs themselves.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d0p3d:
What happens if you put the flac files wich are on the phone back on the pc and play them with an other device? That way you can at least determin if the fault may lie in the transfer of the files? I had some avi's corrupting while putting them on the phone, reinstalling the usb drivers (and kies) fixed that for me
