I think it's perfect as it is. Set your security settings to enable after 10 minutes, then it wont annoy you.

If your phone went straight to pattern, you wouldn't have access to the quick slide-to silence, media player controls, (if you use a custom lock screen, other shortcuts) and you'd have to enter the pattern every time it turns the display off, even if just due to you reading something on the screen.

[Droid 2 General] teeBOMB:
I've never used the pad lock deal you guys are talking about, but there is a free app called "No Lock" that will disable the slide to unlock. I'm pretty sure it would probably take you straight to your password screen. :D

This is another thing Motorola changed with their version of 2.2. Stock Android takes you directly to the security screen if you have it enabled

does this have something to do with facebook authentication?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MLBZ521:
I'm wanting to create a backup of my phone. I have a firmware I897UCJD6, and it appears no one else has. So I'm trying to back it up before rooting and flashing a custom kernel. But I'm having problems doing this; I can not currently root or access recovery. Right now, I'm just trying to backup this firmware before I do anything further so I can preserve it.

So anyways... I've been searching for the last couple days to see if the Dump that ODIN creates works for a usable backup. I've found multiple threads with people asking this question, but no one answering it.

ODIN has a Dump option on it and I'm hoping these will work. Specifically they are "AP RAM" and "AP NAND."

Thanks for any and all help. This process has been way more work than I've ever had on any Android phone I've modified yet...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MLBZ521:
Yes, but I am not able to use those. As I stated, I can not root and can not access recovery. I am unable to use Clockwork Recovery, ROM Manager, or anything else. I can not boot into recovery via Volume Down/Up + Power nor using "adb reboot recovery" in an adb shell.

I understand, backups can be made via many other methods. I have tried them all, at least, all that I could find. They have not worked for me. That's why I am now, on this option.

you have that option if you have custom recovery or you can factory reset using the stock recovery but you lose your stuff that are not on the sd card.

I'm using a rooted stock Froyo ROM. Whenever I launch the camcorder, or launch camera and switch to video, /system/bin/mediaserver crashes and begins using 100% of the CPU until a reboot. I tried wiping cache, wiping all of the camera app's data, but nothing works. Problem is 100% reproducable.

It started the first time I went into camcorder. I hit the record button, and all the other pressable buttons on the screen disappeared EXCEPT the red record button, but it never started recording.

[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
The epic 4g doesnt have lag, its the other currently released galaxy s phones that have it...
[Epic 4G General] _Opiate_:
I noticed that the Epic didn't seem to lag as well but I figured it was just a matter of time until Samsung fixed the lag problems. I mean they wouldn't want their big bad galaxy s line to be slowed to a crawl because of lag. I wouldn't be surprised if we see this same fix used in future updates for the other galaxy s phones.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737829&highlight=nand+lag+fix
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
I believe that if you are referring to the quadrant scores that the Galaxy S phones and Droid X have gotten, the current method thats on the Epic will not show as high. But thats not the problem. The problem with the scores in Quadrant is the I/O portion which has a flaw in it:

http://briefmobile.com/cyanogen-demonstrates-quadrants-flaws

As you can see, they were able to exploit the flaw and increase their benchmarks to over 3000! LOL.

I think the Filesystem benchmark in this article is probably a little more accurate than what Quadrant is showing:

http://www.laptopmag.com/review/cel...x?mode=benchmarks&cids=2214,2321,2259,2285,pa

The Epic did the best out of the Droid X, Droid 2. Captivate and Evo 4G in the Filesystem benchmark (Similar benchmark to the I/O in Quadrant). But the Captivate did poorly as it had a below average score along with the Evo...
[Epic 4G General] ConceptVBS:
The "lag" from the other Galaxy S devices is due to the huge 16GB internal SD card storages.

The Epic only have 1GB of internal storage of which the ROM is preloaded onto. This is why the OS boots up ridiculously fast. It only has to process a small amount of data to categorize into its memory.

The others on the other SGS's require the OS to go through the entire 16GB of internal storage. That is why you see an occasional "lag".
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I know quadrant i\o test is missed up. What I really want to know is how the epic lag fix compares to sgs's nand and internal storage lag fix. I find the internal storage is faster then the nand lag fix on my captivate.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SupraFast:
I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2. Is there a way to make the phone wake up if it receives a phone call but still keep the phone locked? Like I want to have to unlock it before answering the call.

Sometimes at work I don't necessarily hear a call or want to answer it. The phone unlocks and then while it's in the case in my pocket, it's vulnerable to screen taps and hard buttons presses because it's not locked anymore until it goes to sleep again...that's if it goes to sleep cause I am physically active at work and the case may press against the screen a little and etc.

I use LockDevice v1.6 too
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
LockDevice v1.6 is a program to turn on the phones stock lock when you hit the power button...not a soft/hard button lock.

To lock the hard buttons/soft buttons.screen tabs when you get a call, reminder, ect you will need a lock program such as:

S2U2, TouchLockPro, or PocketShield. These are probably the more well known ones.

I have tried Pocketshield and am now trying S2U2, both seam to be doing the job good.

I'm really, really sorry if i posted this in the wrong section or what else.

I'm having problems using the Gen.Y dualboot system on my kaiser, I installed the CAB for the HTC Kaiser.

It works... but only when opening the bootmanager when Windows Mobile 6.1 is already booted, there is no way to first load the bootmenu from Gen.Y and then choose to boot Windows Mobile or Android.

The Android is installed correctly and the registry is set well to boot from the Andboot map on my SD card so there's no problem booting android.

It's just that the bootmanager doesn't startup when turning on the phone.

(I'm running Eclair 2.1g Polymod Light-Themed)

I had a similar problem as most phones in Canada seem to have Download/Recovery mode disabled, and here is what worked for me.

Grab something like One Click Un Root (all models), and click one click un root (obviously phone has to be on and plugged into the computer).

This should automatically reboot you into Recovery Mode!

All you have to do is "wipe data/factory default" or something like that (should be the third option).

As it states, you will loose all your data, but at least you will have a functionning phone!

I have not rooted or anything.

Of course my download mode does not work.. Going to try this one click root thing if I can find it.

NOT HAPPY
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
This is not working. Probably because the phone is not in USB debugging mode as I can't change it... Is there any other way to get the phone into recovery mode?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] hondaguy:
i had the same thing happen to me the other day with my bell galaxy s and my phone wont do the 3 button combo trick. i left my phone plugged in to a wall charger for a while until the back of the phone became a little warm. i pulled the battery and then left the power cord plugged in and put the battery back in. i held the volume down and enter button until the battery charging indicator showed up, then i also pressed and held the power button until the boot animation started (this is the blue moving swirl and music, not the galaxy s splash scree) and then i let go of the power button. it took a few attempts at this before it actually worked, but eventually it will go into download mode at which time you can open the odin app, then plug in the usb cable and flash your phone that way. it did seem to make a difference if the back of the phone (around the camera area) was warm. if i let go of the power button while the music was playing and the phone did not enter download mode i would keep all 3 buttons pressed until it shut down again, then i would only let go of the power button while the phone initiated the charging screen, then once the battery logo was displayed i would hold the 3 buttons again and would just keep doing this until it went into download mode. i have flashed it at least 5 times today and i have been able to do this each time.

i also had an issue where odin would not recognize my phone was plugged in and windows would show a message saying the usb device was not recognized. i left the phone plugged in and while in download mode i pressed the volume up, enter button and power button until the phone went blank and when the galaxy s logo showed up i let go of the power button and the phone would go into recovery mode and then the usb drivers would be installed. i would then do the 3 button combo for download mode and odin would work fine. it took several attempts but it does work. i hope this helps you guys

No luck. I am probably screwed getting it exchanged now too as I am passed the 14 days from Best Buy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the on click thing doesn't work, if your phone is already bricked.

also it is not the phone's fault for not working, the phone was working properly before you tried the hacks.

whenever you do these kind of things you know you are entering into the "not supported" "not covered by warranty" zone.

in the worse case scenario, if you can no enter download mode to recover your phone, it'll be to take the phone back to bell and claim warranty on it, and prentent you don't know what happened to it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Its my fault??

I did not hack my phone. Its not rooted, I did nothing to it.

By "unlock" I meant exactly that, unlock as in swiping the screen to unlock it.

The more I search the net the more posts I find of Galaxy S phones randomly bricking...:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
on the original message sounded more like you went to Unlock the phone, as in SIM unlock the phone using any of the tools available out there, and there has been already several people which had the same problem.

if you go back to Bell for an exchange, you better not use the word "unlock" rather use Swipe

as the message on the phone "swipe the screen to unlock"

there are no known issue about this causing the phone to brick.

if that is what happened to you, you should have started a new topic for people to help you, instead of hijacking the topic from the OP, as your issue is different from OP, the OP actually screwed up because he/she flashed the wrong ROM to the i9000

... anyways, Does it work if you reboot the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
I have rebooted the phone about 100 times. The phone crashed when I unlocked it to check a text I received. (not hacked). Has not booted up properly since. I have found many others with the same issue who have also not hacked/rooted/unlocked/ their phones.

Waiting on Best Buy to call me back. I am so pissed right now, I have been bragging to my friends and co-workers how awesome this phone is, one has already picked one up, I hope his doesn't brick too. Not recommending it to anyone anymore..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
did you load a lot of MP3 to the phone?

can you boot into Recovery Mode?

in the recovery mode you can wipe the Cache and wipe the data

that should make your phone work normal again

it'll be best to open a topic to help you trouble shoot your interesting issue, as it's the first i've hear that you get a black screen after Swiping out of the lock screen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
I can't get into recovery mode. I have tried every button combination I have found. I had about 2 GB of music on the phone. I also installed the Android SDK to try ADB, but since the phone is not in USB debugging mode it does not see it.
