Dell have forced us to be landscape when I find the phone is best in portrait. Reading is a much better experience and this is also true for holding it.

Landscape gives you the space for typing andwatching movies but little else.

I would also prefer portrait home screens or at least have the choice

Any one else agree?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
Now when installed a lot of apps including juicedefender and advanced task killer (set to aggressive when screen off with lots of exclusions) the lag has become more of an issue.

Now tell me whats the logic behind having installed a lot of apps and a lag? Running several apps multitasked will offcource produce performance-dips but just having them installed?

What exactly is "aggressive" on the task killer anyway? Some people say its just bad to kill tasks.

I have the idea that its the widgets that causes trouble, since they actually needs to run in the background all the time. I noticed today that the fancy-widget got stuck on upboot for like 60 seconds, that caused the 4 buttons below to not load properly. Alto the rather useless "daily brefing" seems to slow down.

I dont want to root and hack with sd-hacks now when froyo is confirmed to be released officially soon.

Do you have experice with sertain apps/widgets causing lag. If so, it would be great to make a list of "bad" apps.

PS, I tested the 30-day navigon today in car and it worked with no problems at all. Fix in 2 seconds and right on track.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I haven't used it in a while, but "spare parts" in the marketplace tells you which apps are consuming your processor IIRC. This will obviously give you a temporary hit to your ability to load and run processes but will let you know more details about your phone that you don't already have and the battery use section of settings obviously only talks about what is using your battery but that isn't going to tell you the whole picture.

I am also someone who says you shouldn't use ATK, at least the way you do, but I have it installed and use it a bit differently. What I try to do is kill all tasks after I've used the marketplace or before I do anything intensive (gaming, GPS tracking) and I kill all apps including ATK. ATK will consume processor, battery and will free up memory which then Android uses to open more tasks you don't need (using processor and battery in the process -> repeat cycle). If you need to free up memory 1-5 times a day I think my way will save maybe 15-30% of your battery over a 24 hour period while costing you less than a minute of hassle (too much for some, sure). Again, I only kill after marketplace (because everything opens to check for updates, AFAIK) and before something that will use heavy memory and processor.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Forgot the first part of your question, forgive me. I believe, the reason for more apps causing more lag is at least 2 fold. There are more apps that can be opened when you have free memory (in the vicious cycle I described above). There is also something that might be a bit unique to our phone, and I've only recently read this, it's a bit of speculation so I'm not trying to pass it off as fact but I think it's likely to be knowledgeable on the issue, even if not completely correct. Samsung's internal storage method is an SD card, that allows extra apps to be written to the internal storage but comes with a trade off of lag due to a potential combination of:

slow random-access

bad partition

I think I'm missing an important reason, I'll try to look and edit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zhousibo:
When I initially got my SGS I loaded it with a heap of apps and suddenly noticed the lag and quick battery drain. Problem was I couldn't track down the culprit.

I recently reset my device and was a bit more organized with what I installed. One of the things I started doing was checking what services were being used in the process which you can find under the manage apps part of the system.

So while you can load apps and they may/may not be killed by android or a task killer, the services will always be running - taking up memory, sometimes cpu, network. Things like weather checking, news checking, even email sync are some examples. These services plus any apps you run are I think what starts the lag. You need to be aware of which apps are also run as services.

Yes, there are some bad apps (last Facebook version was found to be a heavy drain) but I think they tend to add up with all the other services running.

As for 'Aggressive' depends on the app killer but my understanding (with the one I use), is that there is a memory limit before the app is killed. Once the limit is reached on aggressive, it doesn't take much before memory is cleared.

One thing to install is SeePU as this gives an indication of CPU, memory and network on the top menu bar. This also helps when the system lags (usually CPU is high and memory is low) and helps to know when to clean (or what threshold to set).

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I've got Omnia II with WM 6.5 in which i have to manually turn off / disconnect the data connection all the times and it always turn on again after a while.

can anyone recommend or suggest which way / tools to disable the non-wifi data connection only ? so far i only i need GSM and the Wifi only to reduce unwanted cost.

Thanks.
[Omnia II General] MrT69:
Open Samsung Settings (press the big button) and hit on the top line the key with the arrow left/right.

Select the Option "Wireless Manager" - and take a look at the right bottom corner. There you see "MENUE" - press it and select "Data con. Settings".

Tick all three Options and select the "TIME OFF" at "NO PACKET FOR". Switch device off and on again and from now disconect the WiFi connection with a short press on the PowerOff Button.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ozguy:
Have a Citroen Bluetooth car radio (Blaupunkt) and was using that with a WM6 device. Lots of problems until I loaded Jetware which made it rock solid. Dumped the WM phone - now using a Android HTC (Desire).

Very unreliable bluetooth on Eclair - never solid and directory (phonebook) always an issue. Just switched to Froyo (Leedroid) hoping it would fix the issue. No such luck - most of time connects (pairing works fine) but as soon as I allow access from the car radio to the phone (to read phonebook) things go south.

Was wondering if I'm alone in this or if there is a fix for it. Ideal would be to have Jetware on Android - one great feature it has is that it can limit the phonebook transfer to a specific category - which is much more usefull then pushing the entire 500+ entries to the car.

Any help appriciated.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpiZA:
Heya everyone, in spare parts, under other usage, My Wi-Fi on and Wi-Fi Running percentages are ALWAYS the same... right now sitting at 99% each. Surely Wi-Fi on should be at 99%, but Wi-Fi running should be considerably lower since I don't have any form of auto sync or location based things on.

I can keep my phone on for 12 hours, Wi-Fi enabled, and Wi-Fi running is always full, at 99 odd percent. Nothing is using the wi-fi, even when i choose to forget my wifi details so there is no connection. I suspect it may have something to do with the root process "0" under Network usage under Battery history in spare parts. I'm thinking it's keeping my Wi-Fi active and draining my batt, even if it's not pulling any data.

I've completely uninstalled every app (except spare parts), wiped cache and dalvik, put phone on Aeroplane mode, nothing changes. Facebook app isn't updated to 1.3 or 1.3.1 either.

Really at wits end as to why my Wi-Fi is "running" at 100% all the time

What message does it give when sync fails?

there may be many possible problems so it is important to start eliminating possible causes.

without more info its hard to say but some possible reasons could be:

incorrect setup info (username or password or imap/pop setting)

phone not automatically connecting to data service when trying to send/receive, so check you have internet before trying to receive

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjdean:
No there isn't. Those programs which you talk about, and I think of which Bluetooth GPS is one such program, is merely Bluetooth GPS capable. In can talk to a Bluetooth GPS and display that information in that application only

There may even be tracking programs which can use Bluetooth. But there is no way, at the moment, to tell Android to ignore the inbuilt GPS and use an external Bluetooth GPS for the Location Manager service.

In other words, MyTracks, CardioTrainer, Sports Tracker, Google Maps etc, they can't be made to listen to a Bluetooth GPS.

Well, unless someone wants to rewrite libgps.so using Bluetooth GPS as inspiration.

If you wanted to go one further and decompile the current libgps.so so you could have the choice between inbuilt GPS and Bluetooth GPS, be my guest.

or i should wait for cooked android rom ? is it coming?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thesweeney:
Rumours are that a ROM might be available mid sept.

I would say dive in and try it now :D

With the latest builds such as mattc v1.5, class 4 sd should be enough to get a decent taste of what android has to offer.

Im running it on a 'dubious' class 6 card which performs like a decent class 4 card, and I'm LOVING the android experience so far.... much more than I had expected.

Try it, you wont be dissapointed ;)

how can u any one know the difference where there is no rom out ....this is stupid and getting worse in the hd2 android threads
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tazz9690:
Umm, no one in this thread has stated that there is a difference between a ROM or running off the SD card. It was just a general agreement on the fact that you should load up Android now to get a taste of how it runs on the HD2 due to how far superior it is over WM. If that statement was just a generalization of the whole Android section of the forum, that has nothing to do with this thread and you are taking it off topic.

But anyways... I agree with the first two replies to you Proz00. Ever since I put Android on my phone, I have never looked back.

I am running a class 6 right now and it is wayyyy faster than the MyTouch 3G that I have. As long as you have a decent class 4, I doubt you will notice a difference. For me, it runs just as fast as WM, if not faster, and apps like linpack, neocore, and quadrant backup all my statements.

Right now I am running the froyostone clean build and I'm hitting about 27 mflops on linpack. My quadrant results just come right under the performance of a Nexus One running 2.2 :D

So basically what I'm trying to say is, it's definitely worth giving Android a chance right now. The worst that can happen is you don't like it, and all you have to do is restart the phone and you're back to WinMo :)

Hope this helps.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thesweeney:
I sort of see what you mean... i think.

The OP's question was a little misleading perhaps....

The first line suggests that they think an Android ROM for HD2 is available.

But the second line of the question makes it clear (IMHO) that they KNOW there is no flashable ROM available YET.

Therefore the way I read the question is like this....

'When the first Android roms for NAND are released, will they be MUCH faster than the current SD builds? and is it best to just wait for that flashable rom rather than use a 'slow' SD version'?.

Well thats the way I read it, in which case you were unnecessarily flaming the OP? :p

I dunno.
