mekwall

thank you very much for your informative reply

let me start replying to what u just told me

#1

I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.

i dont have SetCPU installed as i have tried it for a few days and found it useless , since i dont have the 1.2 ghz tune i dont see why i should even keep the app, yes i saw how the app messes with the phone so i removed it.

#2

Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.

no im not using Launcher Pro and i could see how it would affect the arrangment of the programs but it wasn't that. My guess is it might probably be 1 of 2 , either titanium backup or Mybackup pro after restoring the data and not the apps.

#3

Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.

im guessing a maybe here since i dont know how it would affect my 3g watchdog's app or make it reset the counter, i switched to Network monitor ( not as good as 3g watchdog but it does the same job ^_^ )

#4

My recommendation is to update to the JM5 firmware. It's the version that's been most tested with the lag fixes. I'm running JM5 with RyanZA's Lag Fix 2.0 and SamSet 1.9e (except kernel). It works like a charm and have done so for the past week. No wake-up lag, crashes or other weird behavior.

just like i said id love to go that way but can wait a month or 2 till froyo joins the fun.

#5

First boot will always take longer time and might also affect the sync between the sound and animation. It's normal!

i hope its just a sync problem , but the phone gave up on the animation , after a couple of tries yea the logo simply isn't there anymore just the sound but i did notice a little faster boot up time this way with only a small vibration to indicate the phone has started.

i'll redo everything again 1 step at a time 1 app at a time , i'll delete my backups as i could do it just this time to get a good fix after a clean boot , and i guess i'll just stick with version 1 as i didnt see anything wrong with it so no need to jump to version 2 of the lag fix

could anyone tell me what app will back up all my sms/mms/call log without any trouble ? does titanium do that coz i looked everywhere and couldn't find anything regarding that

Thanx to everyone for your help ^_^

now to find a fix for that gangster game after redoing everything
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
ok new discovery

using mybackup pro to backup all the sms's and mms's restarted after the restore and boom

what i see now is the old background from before the *2767*3855# method and the apps linked to homescreen from before , could it be the trouble maker ?

ok now im not gonna use it and test the whole procedure all over again
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
ok i guess thats it... even after a factory reset the logo wont show up again T_T

any tutorials on how to flash the original FW safely ? where could i find my original FW ? thing is i need arabic lang and doubt the JW5 has it built in anyways im off for now....... ~ spends the night googling~
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
JPJG8 off samsung-firmwares is very good, and has arabic support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
ok ^_^ thanx for the fast reply

downloading it as im typing right this instance

will post on how things go with my SGS

having trouble right now with restoring my apps using titanium T_T whenever i restore it freezez on the first app it shows guess i have to install them 1 by 1

i guess a fresh start is a must

Again thanx you fellas for the informative/fast replies

Much appreciatted ^_^
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
last but not least

everything downloaded and ready for the flash

using a youtube video looking at a detailed guide to flash my sgs

my file JPJG8 has got OJP_JG9 and the files in it are

zImage

param.lfs

modem.bin

Anyone knows whats the deal with those files
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Numsefis:
Hello

I was wondering if it's possible to remove the unlock screen, and only use the pattern lock? It's a bit stupid first to unlock, then apply pattern... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pd5c18:
I totally agreed that, does anyone know how to disable the screen lock??

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefymarty:
Bump!

i would like to disable the HTC lock screen and only use pattern unlock.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewMossie:
I assume you're using HTC Sense? I think this only happens on Sense ROMs.

I don't see this in other non-Sense ROMs.
[Captivate General] ckyllr:
Please someone help me figure out why I having problems after flashing to JH2. My battery life and Quadrant scores took a dump after this... last night I was at 100% and woke up to 22% 6 hours later. WTF? I did check what was running and it seems like ADW launcher was consuming a lot of CPU during that time like 4 hours or so. My 900 Quadrant score is also now at 700 or so.

Here's all the steps I did to get JH2 working and see if I did anything wrong in the process:

1) Root my phone to be able to install ROM manager/Clockwork Recovery

2) Backup up my phone using the ROM manager

3) Use XDA method to flash my stock JF6 to JH2 using odin3

4) Installed/flashed "Unleash the Beast V0.2"

5) Installed ADW launcher over Touchwiz

6) Installed couple of apps from the market

7) Flashed [MOD]Fightspit's Super Circle Battery with % JH2 version C with EBB

That's all I did and now I have problems with battery and phone is slower than before.

Someone must have done that same thing and have the same issues that I do.

Update: I did restore my old backup and things are back to normal I think but under Baseband version it still list JH2 for some reason but I know it's not since I have USB tethering back.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail78:
i upgraded to an Evo and now i have my hero lying around collecting dust.. i have a friend that uses cricket and i did a ton of research to get it working but my searches stopped when i read that corpus christi and surrounding areas are in what are called an asw (or something like that) market and that either way the phone wont work flashing it to cricket.. so they went ahead and switched to pocket and i took the phone into the pocket store and they tried to flash it using their houdini software but it wasnt detecting the phone (because they need to load the htc drivers) so they guy pretty much said that they can flash it, i told him that he can get the drivers from the houdinisoft website and he claimed that they dont have internet at the store but that the IT guys installed the software... so as of right now im on a mission on flashing the phone myself.. ive found mms settings and things like that but my main thing is the initial flash to get talking and txt going.. so my question is, has anyone been able to flash this phone to pocket.. im just needing to know if i just need to use all the same steps as i do for cricket or metro since searches regarding "pocket" are limited.. sometimes its not even listed as a carrier on certain forums.. howardforums had some info but not enough of what ive needed.. any help would be appreciated during my journey.. thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
I assume its the same as changing any phone to a different service provider. You just need all the settings for Pocket and put them into the Hero. Basically when a company flashes a phone to work on their network they are putting all of the settings into the phone automatically and not manually like you are doing. I think getting voice calls to work is the easiest to setup and getting mms, sms and internet working is a bit harder if you can not figure out username, etc. But most use the phone_number@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
if you have access to a data enabled pocket wireless phone that you can read via qpst or cdma workshop you should be able to get all the info you need to put into the hero. Does pocket wireless sell hero's or any other htc phone that you could get diagnostic drivers for? just load up a netbook and pull from the in store phones maybe?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail78:
thats what i was thinking.. a friend of mine brought her pocket phone and i was going to get all the information of the phone using qpst as well as cdma wrkshp but when she brought the phone i was having problems reading it on the pc.. i think the cable was just jacked up.. she was going to borrow a cable from a friend of hers and is gonna bring it over today for a round 2.. ill see if that works
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail78:
so i transferred all settings from a pocket phone onto the hero and when i went to the store and they tried doing an esn swap its gave an error saying that the phone couldnt be activated because the correct software wasnt used.. looks like im gonna have to program it using the houdini software.. ive dwnlded the program from houdinisoft dot come but it acts for a user name and password so im gonna have to do a little investigating to see whats up with that.. until next time
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hah2110:
I'm stuck in Airplane mode but I never even turned it on. If I uncheck it, it sits greyed out at Enabling wireless connections... HELP!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
This might sound stupid, but have you tried restarting the phone? Sometimes when I lose signal and can't get it back I try switching to Airplane, but it just sits there... then when I restart, Airplane Mode is on.

I'm thinking something locked up, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know.

I know that's not your exact problem, but I figured it might be related. :x
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcduff99:
Press the on/off button and hold it down. after a few seconds you will see several options, one is airplane mode..it will indicate on or off. To change it just tap on the screen over the message. release the button and press the arrow key at the bottom of the phone to return to the regular screen
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanundra:
Try the steps above, if not pull the battery and see if it's still enabled after it boots.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brodos123:
Hi Guys:-)

I recently lost my x10 and need a new phone.

This is properbly not the most objective forum to ask what to get;)

But maybe some of you have tried both over a period of time and can give your opinion?

I have never had an iphone, so I dont know how they are.

What I like with the iphone 4 is:

- The design is great!

- Hardware is equally good as the GS.

- Camera just as good if not better?

What I dont like is:

- Very closed OS

- Only 3,5 " screen

I do not mind the lack of microsd slot, as 32 GB is enouch.

The Galaxy s have a great 4" screen!! and a great OS.

I do not like the design though. looks cheap.

I there was replacement backcovers in metal or rubbery it would be a great step up.

I do not mind the lack of flash, since the night mode is good.

I would be glad to hear your thoughts:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
seems like you are leaning more to the iphone4 than not

might as well go for iphone4

if you can't find anything that you like on SGS more than iphone4, then there is no much point considering SGS

personally i like Android + SGS

- open to all developers, create what you want, and post it on Android Market

- 4' screen

- faster browsing than iphone4

- better screen colour and quality than retina of iphone4

- SD card slot

- more accessories to choose from

- i can use any software i like

- lots of firmwares to play with

- GPS works better than WM phones and stand along GPS like Garmin 205 or alikes

- great on 3G/HSDPA

- easy to drag and drop my music & videos to the phone

- great bluetooth A2DP Stereo

- i can swap the G7 battery any time, replaceable battery are very affordable on ebay,

- ultra slim smartphone

- FM radio to check on News,

- great 3D GPU for games and other stuff

- tactile and animated live wall papers

- much mucho software, so much that you don't know which apps to pick, and much more coming.

- Android Market is great, once you buy an App, or download an App, it stays in your gmail account, so if you ever switch phone, format, reflash, you just need to click on them again and they are all back!!!!

- system settings can be backed up to your gmail account !!!

- so in the same scenario, you can restore everything to the way it was before any major wipe or hardware replacement

- most apps are compatible with other Android phones, so if you ever get tired of SGS you can always go to HTC, or Acer, or whatever is on the horizon, and still keep all your apps with you.

- Wifi N, really fast, but iphone4 got it too... right?

- SGS can survive more drops than iphone4 can out of the box without protection (see sig for link), however iphone 4 screen cracks easily.

...well that's all i can think of at the moment of reasons why i prefer SGS over iphone4 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elbasso:
And you don't have to install f*cking iTunes. What more convincing does one need :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
oh yes! that was the most important thing, and i forgot about it :p

no big brother watching over your big stash of music/video that you sync to your phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elbasso:
Google maps navigation?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brodos123:
Thanks guys!

I have not decided yet.

But the itunes thing I can run through Wine. I am a linux user.

I am dissapointed that the X10 did not have any sofware for linux. I had to use windows to upgrade! What is that about?? android is based on linux and I have to use windows!!

How is it with upgrades on galaxy s? Is it over the air or do I need windows??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it depends on the carrier for over the air

it is predominant in windows

but there is a Heimdall cross platform (win, linux, mac) app that is being develop to update via any OS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Billus:
Played with an iPhone 4, did not like. First off, it felt like a brick. Secondly, it is plastic with the only alluminium part being along the side so no difference there. The retina display is overated and is quite small when you compare the Galaxy S to it.

Saying that the Galaxy S looks cheap, I've had many who say it looks rich. Only when it's covered in smudges does it look cheap, but what phone doesn't? Many compliment the screen quality, size and weight. Viewing web pages on it is amazing, the font is so easy to read without even zooming in. In the looks department, many compare it to the iPhone. It doesn't look like an iPhone when you put the two together. Build quality is solid and it is a very light phone thanks to the plastic. It only feels cheap when you take the back plate off.

The hardware is awesome. I've had no real issues with GPS so I think that is a problem for the American models. The standard Galaxy S works great out of the box assuming you disable TouchWiz and install a decent home screen. Customisability is also a great feature with the Android OS.

I'm looking forward for the Froyo update. What I'm hoping for is some improvement to the battery life. That's the only thing I dislike but that's probably linked to some application I've installed.

Either way, I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you purchase a phone that you'll hopefully enjoy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
Feel/Build Quality:

The iphone will need a case because of the antenna problem which completely negates allot of the money spent on the build quality

The galaxy s you will want a case to protect it and give it a premium feel

Result: Tie

Media:

For viewing media both phones have comparable screens, personally i BARELY see pixels on my ~166 dpi pc screen, and can see none atall on the 800x480 screen on the galaxy s even when holding the phone up close so the whole resolution hype for the iphone 4 is a load of rubbish.

Both screens are (i believe) 24 bit so the colour capabilities are the same

Galaxy S has better contrast, faster response, better viewing angles

Iphone 4 has sharper text if straining your eyes to read fully zoomed out text on a small screen is your thing

To be honest they are both comparable experiences, allthough the galaxy has a bigger screen which is a minor win, and the iphone 4 has a HORRIBLE aspect ratio, not sure what apple were thinking there...

Result: Tie

Hardware:

Galaxy S 1ghz hummingbird SGX540 gpu

Iphone 4 ~700mhz A4 (hummingbird) SGX535 gpu (30% the performance of the 540)

Result: Galaxy S

Software:

While the android os is getting much better the iphone still wins here, the galaxy s has lots of software bugs which although are easy to fix, are annoying to have to deal with in the first place.

Result: Iphone 4

Overall:

Really its down to whether you can justify the price tag on the iphone, as with all apple products you are paying about 45% more just for the logo

I got my Galaxy S for £340 in the UK, the iphone is £500

If money was not an issue then sure, the iphone wins due to the better software
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
recently there was a google news about iphone4 owners gets more chicks than other phones :D

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-20013268-71.html

and

http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/16/iphone-users-have-more-sex/

maybe that's Apple's selling point? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brodos123:
Thanks mate:)

I used ADW home screen on my x10 and it was great!!

The thing I most dislike about the iphone is the screen size! going from 4" x10 screen to 3,5" may be difficult!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
in my case i went from a 5" to a 4"

that's why going to a 3.5" was realy too much to lose
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
We all know why we like the Samsung Galaxy S, but why don't I personally like the iPhone 4?

1. If I purchased it depending on my usage, I would have paid almost twice for it that the SGS. I know, WTFMAN.

2. iTunes. Some people love it, then again, some people like being (insert expletive here).

3. Smaller screen. Played with my colleague's iPhone 4 and the first thing I noticed was "damn does that status bar look tiny" and it went on from there. Retina is way too overhyped. The colors, the blacks, and everything else (except the battery life) for Super AMOLED is great... ON a 4" screen.

4. App Store is biased against PR0N. Sorry, but some very good apps have been removed because some stupid Apple fanboy decided to use it for the wrong reason.

Bottom line for me is that there were just too many more negatives on the iPhone than there are on Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brodos123:
Thanks all!

I think I am going for the SGS:) Mony is not an issue though.

One thing. Is the metal ring real metal or just crome plastic?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
If that's the case, get them both!:p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brodos123:
hehehe

Not a big price difference in Norway:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bobler420:
personally i love my sgs but this is an sgs forum if we didnt we have a different phone by now

the iphone is more basic if ur less tech savvy smaller screen (better screen(i think apple tryed to get amoled but couldn't so went with 2nd best ;) )apple is very picky about what u can and cant do

android phones in general you can do A lot more customization i personally like the lay out more has potential to be anything you want through custom roms

sgs amazing screen probally keeping alot of people from leaving after this recovery mode bs (i know it kept me) very fast very good for games

buggy/laggy at times but every thing eles makes up for it when frayo comes out wow the sgs is gonna be amazing

PS. Check every thing out before you leave i just got a new sgs today with recovery mode and now ive noticed its got a dead pixel 4th sgs here i come Q/A is terrible right now
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hiraj_panosian:
its just chrome plastic;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brodos123:

Guess the phone would be havier if it was metal:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cavinsoo:
LoL. Great! If thing that comes up in your mind when it comes to buying a phone is iPhone. LOL.

Mate, get an Android, especially SGS.
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
As you might have heard, Google held a press conference last week. Out of it came this little gem. Google Voice Actions, not to be confused with “Google Voice” Actions, improves tremendously on Android voice commands, which to say the least, were near non-existent. You were pretty much just limited to doing a google search or inputting text in a text box. Not anymore, with Google Voice Actions, you’ll be able to issue a plethora of commands to your Android phone. I have to say, this is WAY better than on the iPhone.

Google Voice Acions Commands, Video Demo, and Download
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Nothing I didn't know but its a good showcase of the capabilities.

Suck on them apples Steve jobs
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I was amazed and bewildered by how HORRIBLE the HTC voice command was in the beginning, especially considering how great google voice search worked.

I've been using the new one a lot the last few days and I am equally amazed by how GREAT the new version works!

ba ba ba ba ba, I'm lovin it!
[EVO 4G General] flyingwolf:
Just remember that you have to be connected to the internet in order for the voice commands to work, they use the google voice servers. While they are fast as hell and work amazingly fast even over a 1x connection, if you have no network, you have no google voice actions.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Ah, the Achilles heel of Google's voice interaction. Though I have to say, there are very few times when I am out of signal, so I guess going forward, its not going to be so bad. What really sucks is there are a lot of great apps that don't work out of service, like Google Sky Map.
[EVO 4G General] djR3Z:
Completely agree. In the next couple of years, carriers are really gonna have to kick it up a notch in fast network coverage, otherwise they're just going to hold back development.

On that note, poor, poor T-Mobile users. They're cross country coverage suckssss
[EVO 4G General] sidestep22:
Any way to change what program it uses?

Hello All,

I've d/l the app and while I agree its a step up form previous voice search options, I'm not liking the fact that "listen to" doesn't seem to point to any other program besides Pandora (Pandora's sound quality can't compete with my collection on the SD card of the phone).. has anyone figured out a way to change what program Google voice uses to play music when you select "listen to:"?

Thanks

Where do you get this? On im the .6 rooted, but when I try any of the new commands I get nothing. I tried searching the market to see if I was missing something, and didnt find anything.
