[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] questionesse:
yeah, i know, but seriously - who wants to endure that each time he unlocks the screen?

Can't believe that there is no way to simply have a pin assigned to the phone as well as to the sim...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghisy:
You only have to set up the PIN once. You'll just have to slide down and enter the code afterwards.

Or get a Nokia 3310! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] itandy:
Just want to know if anyone is experiencing reduced speed of file transfer via USB when using app2sd? It can goes down to as slow as 300KB/s. My card is class 10 and can transfer at > 10MB/s when used directly in my PC via an adapter.

I suspect the phone is constantly accessing the card in the data partition but don't expect the slowdown to be that significant.

BTW, I'm using VR12 so only data partition is on sdcard.

Anyone else having an issue getting the music player to see .m3u playlist files?

I don't use Kies since I'm on a Mac, so I copy everything over onto the SDcard. The media scan completes but my playlists don't show up in the player.

If I use a music player from the market (such as doubleTwist) then it sees and plays the M3U files fine.

I'm not particularly fussy what player I use, but recognising my playlists is a basic prerequisite.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mahduse:
Do you found a solution

I have the same problem....

Thanx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] plurch:
I have the same frustrating problem. I hope we can get it sorted out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] txsurfer:
Same problem here on my t-mobile vibrant any luck with a fix. Im using missing sync for android on my mac and after sync i see all my music but no playlists show up. If you navigate to the music on the sd card you can see all the playlists.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miker71:
No fix I'm aware of.

I'm using a combination of iSyncr and Lithium Player to sync with iTunes and play/scrobble music.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] federaly:
Only 10 but I copied 25.

I'm using windows playlist. I copy over(example) 25 playlist but only 10 actually show up. They are all the same format as well. It also doesn't seem to actually store them. By that I mean that it's not that it is only shows 10 there are only ten on the card? Even though I copied 25 across. it says copy is successful and everything.:confused:

Desire 2.1 Sense. Not rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Anubiszx:
Another one with the same problem here. Samsung Galaxy S spanish movistar version, no m3u lists showing when copied from my macbook.

Is the problem solved with kies?

It wouldn't be the fastest way, but it will always be better than make de playlists on the pone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frostering:
I surrender... I want to use the default music player from my Galaxy S, so I finally choose this way, from lycan_codex, just search: "[Q] What Playlists formats are supported by Samsung Galaxy S music player?". I will write to Samsung an email and wait if they will fix (if it's need fixed, I mean that samsung maybe don't want to able read m3u files for any reason).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oswade:
Hey guys, thought it might be a good idea to share with each other what apps/settings are mauling their battery life...

Personally at the advice of beards, I used systempanel app to try and monitor app cpu usage etc.

I was experiencing large battery drain overnight, so I decided to leave it running for 1 night. By the morning I had lost about 30 or 40% of battery and systempanel told me that Fancy Widget was using about 11 or 12% avg of cpu (if I remember correctly).

I removed Fancy Widget, turned off Data (with APNswitch) and also stopped systempanel (which prob contributed some of the usage itself) when I went to sleep the other night and the batt was at 40% usage. In the morning I turned on my phone and was greatly surprised to learn that the phone was STILL AT 40%... didn't even lose 1% wooooot :D

So.. I'd like to put my suggestions out

Batt hungry apps: FancyWidget (maybe...? but I'm surprised that other people don't seem to have a problem so maybe its my human error?)

Phone settings:

Data:3G data seems to consumes a lot!!!

I suggest leaving on 2G if you want to keep auto syncing apps etc, and swapping to 3G when you really need the speed (browsing/downloading).

If you want to totally maximise battery usage, turn off data completely every time you put the phone on standby, and turn off all autosyncing apps.

I also believe Wifi consumes less battery than 3G usage, although I haven't done any serious testing, I managed to use wifi on and off for about 5 hours at a lanning event and I still had a fair bit of batt left.

Recommended apps:

I recommend APNswitch to turn off data. I like it because you can use it as an app, not just a widget, as I've found all the APN widgets too be ugly. It also uses the notification bar wisely :)

Other experiences:

According to systempanel, samsung widgets (feed, buddies, daily briefing) all consume very little CPU (less than other widgets in my experience. I've kept them all as they seem beautiful to me :)

To XDA members, anyone else experience bad batt life with fancy widget?

Please feel free to critisize any of my claims, I hope we can help each other out with sharing battery life tips, good/bad apps etc.

EDIT:

Wallpapers:(thanks gadjet0)

Live wallpapers seem to consume a lot. Also having read discussion about the power consumption of oleds, I put a pure black background on my device. Whether it's actually reducing power or not I have no scientific evidence.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Lenunited:
Thanks should pin this!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gadjet0:
Have you tried any live wallpaper, I got the feeling that they put a drain on the battery!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] miro666:
Yes, all its true what have writed oswade. I was make this thing with my Galaxy, and battery life have very growing...

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kirandeep:
also try tasker, I have set profiles to put phone into airplane mode at night, during day the data is off, but comes on every 15 mins or when the screen is turned on (like juicedefender i think its called) works brilliantly and conserves battery.

I can unlpug phone at 5am and still have around 60% at 9pm with light usage, while before I would get to evening and battery would be close to dead!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 53N53L355:
Glad that I'm not the only ones.. I suffered quite bad. Full charge ard 6pm..was playing robo zone for an 1hr+. Batt left 50%. Arghh..

Does black or darker background uses more batt?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oswade:
Couldn't figure that out either... probably need to use a task-killer or reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Gils3310:
So what do you recommand (or anybody else) to replace Fancy Widget ?

I don't really want a HTC like Clock but I want a digital clock like this ?

Beautiful Widget for exemple ?

And i don't know why an app which automatically turn on/off the 3G when ur using the brownser/market doesn't exist already ? That will be great !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dakine:
What's wrong with fancywidget? Seems fine on my device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] saldawop:
If using Juicedefender,do I still need Advanced Task Killer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ProfWolfMan:
Then What?

Hi!

We have industry best hardware configuration.

But we

1) can not Use live wallpapers

2) can not Use 3G for many hours

3) can not Use considerable number of applications from the market

4) can not watch two full length movies

5) etc.................

If you want above

1) Purchase additional battery and put in your pocket

2) Power adapter/ Travel adapter always carry with u

If you are roaming for more than six hours, then it's bad.

this is not only for Galaxy S most of the samart phones fall in this.

What can we do????????

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] moplay:
Dude, I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace

As soon as I got it I installed fancy widget and some other programs. My phone was lasting only 6 hours. I sync to corporate, gmail, facebook and a few others. At first I thought 'bad phone'. I uninstalled Fancy Widget last night and voila my phone is fine. It'll last a day+ now.

What the hell is wrong with that app?? Why does it need so much compute? Its just a widget that shows time??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aaronu:
Just got the SGS 5 days ago and noticed a couple of bugs, started when I set my alarm for monday morning and it didnt go off. I then saw that the clock that the top of the screen said 23:00 which was wrong as it was 07:00. What confused me more was that the phone locked screen showed the proper time.

2nd the browser works for a while then decides to say I have no connection every time I go to a new page, even though it loads it up so I have to keep hitting the ok button.

With both of these problems are fixed with a reboot, but I dont want to have to reboot each night to make sure the clock works in the morning.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kirandeep:
yeah problem is any cradles made for SGS will have to be landscape, I cant see any positives to having the microusb on top. In my car again I have to ideally use landscape otherwise it looks messy. If they didnt want it on bottom then at least put it on the side!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Harts@J:
Then you have to wait the Brodit Car Active Holder Mount for Galaxy S, it might be used landscape: http://www.brodit.com/ or similar.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kirandeep:
er no..i mentioned that as a general comment about the microusb being on top!

and yeah heard brodit will have one out in Aug, the issue I was talking about was having the usb on top!

A nice right angled micro usb wouldn't look too bad.

Yes, the Brodit car mounts support top mount USB. See the Galaxy i5700 car mount from Brodit to get an idea of what the GS version will be like :

Optus sells the official unit on their online store. Costs $49.95. Techbuy is a crap online shop anyway, most bull**** pricing. Use Shopbot or Ebay to find the best deals but always search via Google/Bing on any online stores you find on Shopbot or read the feedback on Ebay.

[Touch HD General] Elemris:
Maybe you just don't have any other SIPs installed?

If you want to change the default keyboard, take a look at the registry setting for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]. "DefaultIm" specifies the default SIP. But be very careful with this, a wrong value here can prevent your device from booting.

You can find valid SIPs but searching the registry for IsSIPInputMethod
[Touch HD General] jakk71:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] _david_94:
Yeah I know :P but how do you do that? Type the code somewhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cosminnn:
When you buy the code they will fetch the instructions, but usually you use a different network sim card and the phone will ask for the unlock code.

Hi All,

I would love to create a thread that is a central hub for the following...

1. A series of steps on HOW to change icons on Roms...from folders, to programs etc

2. A set of icons or a library of icons people can download to use.

3. Make cabs to allow others to download and install on their HD easily

There is an example of some of this on the HD2...but what about our HD?

Can anyone help with any of these aspects?

Will this work on Hero? I'm running stock 2.1....5 with root.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daPorkchop:
You can't push the whole desire framework-res.apk to your phone, you'll get a bunch of force closes. png's are the wrong sizes and what not. might be missing some .png's or have different names. Plus that update.zip will change one of you .jar files and that would mess up your phone. You could dive in and replace just the battery .png's.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
I could do that for you... give me time tomorrow and I'll take a looksie.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] obsanity:
That would be great. It seems like this mod would be something a lot of people would want. I wish I could just replace the custom battery icon to show the percentage instead of running the battery icon app to free some space in the notification area.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
So I take it from your OP that you're using the stock 2.1 Sprint ROM, right? Just making sure because I don't know why you have a 5 after the "..." part.

Just to throw this out there, it may take awhile to do this for you. For some god-knows-what reason, my download speed is absolute **** today. I have an estimated time left of EIGHT HOURS on the Sprint ROM that I need to DL.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Androidious:
yeah, I'd love to see this battery icon on my phone... but will it be available for sense UI roms as well? Currently running Fresh 2.3.3

You rock mrinehart :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tibedabeeto:
I will keep watch with this posting, I would def like that icon on my sense UI notification bar.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
Ok, so do you want JUST the battery icon, or do you want the other icons? And do you want the percentage in it? I'm not sure how to get the percentage in there, but I'm sure I can figure that out.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
What I am doing will work with Fresh, DamageControl, the Sprint roms, etc. I'm almost positive that the framework-res.apk is the same between them. I'm not sure about the services.jar modding that I'll need to do, but I can't see it being a large difference between the ROMs.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
Here is just the battery icon, no percent

Ok, well I just finished putting that battery icon in. This should work in any Sprint-based ROM, which means DamageControl, Fresh, RegawMOD, w/e... as long as it's not AOSP.

So attached is the modified framework-res.apk. To install this, you'll need to push it into your phone somehow. This can be done a couple of ways:

ADB:

adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot

OR

Use Root Explorer, and then mount your phone in R/W mode, and then just copy and paste that file into your /system/framework folder.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
Ok, this MAY give you the percent :)

Hey guys. So I really quickly learned how to use baksmali and smali to edit the services.jar file. I took what looked to be a line of code that added the battery percent and added that into our services.jar. I then repackaged it up. I have NOT tested this to see if it works or not (I'm running AOSP and calibrating my battery), so I highly recommend you either Nandroid or backup your services.jar file. If you would like the circular battery icon too, then flash the framework-res.apk file above as well.

The worst thing that will happen from the services.jar being messed up is force-closes.

EDIT Don't pay attention to what's above. I put all the stuff into a flashable .zip file. My signing tool is messed up, but if you have ClockWordMOD recovery, then you'll be able to flash it (ClockWordMOD can flash unsigned .zips :) )
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Androidious:
This works perfectly for Fresh 2.3.3! Thanks so much for the kewl battery icon!!! Now, if only we could get the percentage in the middle of it, I'd be totally set :)

LoL! But... beggars can't be chooser though

In case you were wondering Mrinehart93, I flashed this zip using clockword mod recovery and the icon itself looks and works perfectly, but the % of battery remaining does not currently show up. I don't know if there's anything I need to do to make it work correctly, but since you haven't tested yet, I just thought I'd let you know. Thanks again man!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
Ok, thanks for trying it :) I'll have to dig deeper into the services.jar then (I'm extremely glad that the services.jar didn't mess up or force-close on you... I wasn't sure if I packed it up the right way). But yeah, I'm glad you like the icon and I'll keep trying to get the percentage in there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tibedabeeto:
