I would def. Check out launcher pro if I was you, I've had it since day one and never had a problem with lag. If you like it donate to get the plus version cause it has some sense like widgets. I ran one click root then unleash the beast. Also did the battery mod as well. All I could ask for now is a complete gps fix and froyo and I'd be a happy camper. Also check out beautiful widgets, I know they are all paid but worth every penny if u ask me.
[Captivate General] itpromike:
Thanks for the quick responses guys.... I forgot to mention that I am running launcher pro. The lag comes in when scrolling through apps and large lists some times as well as when opening and closing apps and changing settings and things quickly... it just hiccups and needs to catch up with itself. Is unleash the beast and the guide from this link the same thing: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761819

Check out the SuperRooter Extreme thread...This make your phone fly...I have it on mine and its great..
[Captivate General] itpromike:
How do I get nandroid on this phone? I've looked in the market but I can't find it...

The first step of running super rooter is nandroid backup.
[Captivate General] solufein:
rom manager for the nandroid backups

titanium backup to back-up individual apps/settings to bring them back when you get a rom you like

second for designgear's SuperRooterExtreme. he's compiled the best of the best in this...for now :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] jhernand1102:
ROM Manager will back up your ROM once you get it all setup the way you like it. Since you are still on the stock ROM and the is a restore for that already ( STOCK Odin3 1 Click ) you don't need to backup your ROM. Install the superrooter and then once you get it all setup download ROM manager for the market and you can make nandroid backup using it...It makes it easy to switch ROM's on the fly...
[Captivate General] itpromike:
In the comments section on the market it says I have to be root to use this... is this true? Kind of defeats the purpose if I want to use this to backup BEFORE I root the phone... :-(
[Captivate General] itpromike:
Sorry, posted my last comment before I saw your reply...

Now I just have one problem... step 1 of super rooter is installing odin3 however this is a .exe and I'm a Mac... how do I do this on Mac?
[Captivate General] jhernand1102:
Oh...I don't think Odin3 works on a MAC unless you install bootcamp and then install windows...
[Captivate General] nbs11:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doo_s4:
Hi all,

I just bought a used Nexus one recently. I have yet to activate it with T-Mobile.

I've been reading up on the Nexus one but still have questions that I can't seem to find the answer to even though I have searched through this forum and others.

If you guy/gals can help me out I'd appreciate it. I apologize if a certain question has been asked many times but I did try and search first......FLAME SUIT ON!!!....:p

Here's the stats on my phone:

Android 2.2

Kernal : 2.6.34.1 - cyanogenmod shade@ toxygene #1

mod version: cyanogenmod 6.0.0-n1-rc2

Build #: FRF91

1 - Tethering - do I just need to go under settings and enable tethering hotspot? is there a default name I would look for when scanning on my macbook for the network?

2 - voice action - I got the phone about a week or two before they announced the voice action feature. would my phone have it or do I need to update the software, if so, how? where would the functions be to activate and deactivate voice action on the phone?

3 - android market - since the phone is modded, can I still download apps from the android market or do I have to get it from aftermarket spots like pandaapp and such?

4 - sync - I have a macbook. what would I sync the phone to? I saw an app on pandaapp called PC Suite. Is that what I would download to sync my info to? I have already downloaded Double Twist which should take care of syncing my music, videos and photos.

5 - micro SD card - what's on it? are my contacts stored there or the SIM? I talked to a T-Mobile rep and he said that all the new android phones have contacts on SD card and not SIM anymore. He said the older phones have it on the SIM and some reason the new ones can't be put on the SIM so that I would need to sync it or back it up some other way....true?? I'm asking also because I have the 4GB card now and would like to upgrade to a 16GB card while my phone is new to me with less data. What would I need to do to move the info over to a new SD card? I think I remember reading that the ROM and all that was on the SD card. I saw a post today on the Nexus General forum asking about the SD card too but it did not fully answer what I need to know.

6 - mod version and kernal : is it good for now or should I update it to the RC3 or to another whole mod version? if so, please link me to easiest instructions for a DIY. Though I have read some good things about my setup. I just want something stable and awesome....:D

7 - forum - besides this forum, what other ones do you like to check up on about our phone or android in general? or is this the one and only.....;)

I think that's all the questions I have for now. I would love to know the answers to these questions and be able to upgrade my SD card asap so that I can activate my phone with T-Mobile already.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snlu178:
1. Just turn on the hotspot. I forget it's name.

2. Update Voice Action through the market

3. Use the market.

4. Not sure any app will sync your personal info. That's all synced in the Google cloud.

5. Saved on internal storage not SIM or SD.

6. Update to RC3

7. His is the only forum worth reading. Everything else is late to the game or a repeat of here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william tanaya:
1. basically, just go to settings, wireless and networking, tethering and portable hotspot, and then, you can set your name for the wireless tethering (the name which you will look for in you laptop)

2.voice action is like voice search, you have to update the app manually, there are tutorials in android developement or themes and app. i forgot which one is it.

3. you can download apps from market like usual. nothing changes.

4. unfortunately, i never sync my pc with my n1. so i can't help you with that.

5. well. the contacts (at least mine) is synced with your google account, not with your memory card.

6. i see you already using CM 6 RC2. so if you want to update to RC3. you just have to download the rom, put it in your SD card, go to recovery(turn off your phone, then press and hold volume up when you turn it on. pick recovery with your volume up/down button, then use power button to "click" it), in recovery, do nandroid backup, and then flash zip from memory card.

7. i also visited android.modaco.com it's really a good site. if you want to know about news or updates on android, you can visit talkandroid.com, androidcentral.com, phandroid.com, there are a lot of sites like that.

i hope it answers all your questions. try to look at android developement sub forum. it worth the time to browse the forum.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doo_s4:
1 - thanks

2 - i found the post. it's in the themes and apps. it says if you have adb, plug into usb and run. what is that and how do i know if i have it?

if i don't then i need to use the terminal emulator. from what i have read, is that what you download from the android market? is this all tough to do?

3 - thanks

4 - so how do you keep all your pics and stuff? i guess I'll have to search some more or post a thread just asking about syncing and see what everyone does for syncing.

5 - hmmm....i guess i'll have to search some more on this one too. that would be strange that contacts are not saved anywhere on the phone.

6 - thanks for the instructions. if I have any problems....you might just get a PM from me....;) but i'll also search for guides too if anything.

is it worth updating it from RC2 to RC3? what are the pros and cons?

7 - thanks for the sites. i'll take a look at them too.

oh I have another question. what do I need to do to get flash 10.1? just through the android market?

thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doo_s4:
1 - thanks....found it and where to rename it.

2 - so i can update this thru the market and not HAVE to do it manually?

3 - thanks

4 - i will do some more searching about this just in case. thanks

5 - is there a way to see this file somehow to ...maybe back it up or something besides using google sync or something like that. if not, does this mean that if i were to maybe lose my phone i would be screwed and lose my contacts unless i were to do google sync or cloud?

6 - is it really worth it? what are the pros and cons? what's new on the RC3 over the RC2?

7 - thanks. i figured but I just like reading other forums too and to meet more people that share out enthusiam.....:D

I have another question. what do i need to do to get/update flash 10.1 since my phone is modded? same as stock phones?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
I'm replying on a phone so I can't go and number them and stuff.

Contacts ARE stored on the phone and synced and backed up and stored on your gmail contacts. As long as you are using the gmail app, your contacts are synced. If you reset your phone, after u sign in to Google on the phone, all your contacts, mail, calendar are downloaded.

You can back up the contacts using apps u can download if you want.

New Voice Search, you can download/update it from the market. But since you're on RC2, you'll prolly get errors.

Best thing to do is download and update CyanogenMOD6 ROM, make sure to download the updated Google add-on pack too, it has the new voice search along with other Google apps.

If you're going to change SD cards, just copy everything from your old one to the bigger one.

Your pictures are stored on the SD card.

So hey guys I was hoping to get some more real time discussions about our GalaxyS phones as well as a good place for us to talk with other Galaxy S Users (Captivate/Epic 4G/Vibrant).

Please join and lets get this going. Once I get some people from the Captivate crowd, I will post a thread in other Galaxy S forums

After rooted my Galaxy S, everything work fine except one problem that I need help.

Under Superuser Permissions, I have seen a very long log, and there is no way to delete or celar them off my Galaxy s. For sure it will take up storage memory. No clear log option in Settings of Superuser Permission 2.3.4.

Any friend here can tell me how can I delete or clear this Superuser log? So that it won't eat up my storage space

Hi all, I've just got my 1st ever Android phone (Galaxy S). It's amazing how flexible and overwhelming the phone and system can be.

I've 2 questions:

1. After installed Kies on my PC, it says there's a firmware update that my phone needs, but on trying to install, it gives all sort of problem, ie: memory full, battery low..etc.. :confused:

What's the deal here? How do I update the firmware?

2. I've read a little about rooting the phone. How does it work and is it safe? Procedure? Any advice?

Appreciate all your advices..:)

Thanks all,

If we cannot clear the log, how long Superuser Permissions will keep these information in the log?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Great story, but I've seen scratch tests that seem to indicate otherwise. Also, I'm surprised that they didn't announce this earlier. I lean 80% towards this being true, but not everything is adding up to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocRambone:
Its a official press release so its true.... And even diamond can be scratched :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Well, I was judging these relatively versus what I've seen from GG. Again, I'm just saying that not everything adding up. Keep in mind, there are maybe 6+ models and variations, perhaps we shouldn't look further into this than it being only the I9000 without further information. After all, the US carriers did gimp phones to save themselves some money whether on the front-end (storage) or back-end (tethering/ff camera).

Also, this could've been adopted late in the development cycle so the test I watched could've been using a previously spec'd screen (I think this is the least likely). It's not like Corning or a manufacturer to announce this late. They announced this on the Streak nearly a year before it hit the US, and at least 6 months before it hit EU. This is typically a big step up for a manufacturer and a good way for Corning to get themselves recognized and desired by consumers, meaning it's good marketing for them as well. No one loves GG more than the Engadgets & GSM Arena (leap of faith there), so at least getting bonus points from them when one of the "knocks" on the Galaxy S is the industrial design. Gorilla Glass plus plastic means the screen is as strong as can be and the casing can be replaced in case the phone took a brutal fall.

So, am I saying that this is false, no, I believe the story, I just take it with a grain of salt saying that unless they confirm it on the entire family line there might be something else hidden in the details (that's where they say the devil is, ;))...I'm probably just looking too far into this though. ...I'm just saying is all...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Schmich:
Still doesn't excuse Samsung for the poor design on the international version. By that I mean having the glass go all the way down and having it cut out for the home button making it a very weak point for cracking.

All reports I've read about SGS being cracked have been down there. Same happened to mine and the shock it got was so minor I didn't even realize or think the screen would get damaged. So those with that version of the SGS be careful.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
There are plenty of people whose glass hasn't cracked. Remember, Samsung have sold millions of these phones, and given enough people in a forum, many people will have the same problem. I don't think this is an inexcusable mistake, or poor design. There is a border protecting the glass (which seems to be made of metal), and it's tough glass.

It isn't designed as a rugged phone, and how common is this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
Just watch this video and see how fragile this device is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xASJobjD68

If you drop it during a conversation, say bye bye to this "gorilla glass".

Are u kidding? Fragile? Looks like u didnt see the whole video.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
This isn't even worth debating. http://gizmodo.com/5571658/first-iphone-4-broken-after-one+foot-drop

You'd have to be an idiot to buy any smart phone if you are concerned about dropping it. The main benefit of Gorilla glass isn't protection (although, clearly it needs to handle everyday life), but to offer protection against scratches.. You wont have any problems if you don't drop it..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
This has the tendency to happen. you guys are idiots if you think you bought a bulletproof device.

Haven't you ever dropped a cellphone during a conversation?... that's odd. I might have to replace my palms, then.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] whobeit:
Err i think you might be the idiot mate, first you say its fragile and supply a link showing that the glass is actually quite strong (for a mobile) and then you say its no different to any other phone.

I work on a building site and i have no fears of damaging my screen although you would have to be a bit of a moron to have a phone like this and not put protection

it anyway
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
omg, no wonder you're working at a building site.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Disregard my comment, I misinterpreted your statement. Yes, I do agree it isn't unbreakable. The purpose of gorilla glass is mainly to withstand basic knocks, and scratches, not to be immune against scratches. It isn't designed to withstand drops.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leoon:
Gorilla glass or not, I already have 2 little scratches..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaapschaap:
I got 0 :D But it say's nothing, maybe if it was normal glass you would have 10 scratches, no one knows!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
newsflash: Glass tends to scratch/break when recieving shock.

Doesn't matter in what device, if you drop it from ear-hight, it will crack. At least a bit.

I have to say i'm impressed such a hard glass plain didn't shatter even when falling from waist hight.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mikulec:
What about the glass that is covering the camera on the back? Any info about that? I put silicone on my SGS and still after some time I can see little tiny scraches on the glass cover.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
It is quite funny in the beginning how the Iphone fan boy use to boast on the quality of Iphone that Iphone glasses are gorilla glass and samsung is not glass but plastics.

Now as more information are becoming available how the table have turned. I guess that will shut iphone fan boys up for a while.

What doesn't make sense is that why it takes so long for them to make the announcement when clearly, it could have boosted the sales.

Yea ill leave my zagg screen protector on ... knowing my luck the day i take the screen protector off. The bus or train im in will get into an accident and my phone will magically fly out of my pocket and land face first on a a screw on the ground.

My phone took a trip across my bedroom as I feel asleep with my phone lost somewhere in my blankets, when i woke up.... i flung my blankets up and the phone parachuted out of the blankets, landed on the floor (on the edge) the back fell off and the battery ejected. No cracks.... scratches... dents... nothing. I have no protection yet as it's in shipping. I think this is the first time i've dropped a phone to the point where the battery ejects and have no evidence of it ever being dropped.

Impressed. Now lets see if it lasts until my case / screen protector gets here ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jian:
I doubt an ordinary joe would base their buying decison on the type of glass a handset manufacturer uses; I wouldn't either unless the screen was proven to be extremely sensitive to scratches.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pewpewbangbang:
It's a relief and reassuring that the Galaxy S line phones have gorilla glass. I have the Captivate, even though theres no major deep scratches there is one or 2 very very small scratches that can only be seen when the screen is turned off and you catch the correct light reflection.

I wanna see some pen puncturing tests on the phone like they did with the Dell Streak :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Best quote of the day for me. LOL

There's a lot of haters here in the forums. I'm choosing on the side who applauds the surprising news that we have Gorilla glass, and at the same time who thinks that protection is necessary for those with clumsy fingers. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bogeyface:
FWIW I've never dropped a phone. I've thrown a few deliberately but never dropped one by accident.

Short of bullet-proofing the screen there's no way it wouldn't break if dropped. But, like babies, birthday cakes and plasma TV's the Galaxy S isn't designed to be dropped.

Architects do not swear. Sorry, you're just a simple worker.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigdave196:
Heh, even if it does have Gorilla Glass, it still didn't stop one of the demo units in my local O2 shop from being broken when of the employees put it in the clamp too tight and managed to bend the phone. Although saying that, the screen wasn't cracked and it still displayed, you just couldn't use the touch screen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] praun:
omg... how can you live with your self...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I'm not sure how a screen protector would necessarily help with dropping the phone anyway? A thin sheet of plastic might well guard against scratches in a sacrificial way (obviously the plastic is softer than glass), but it's not going to absorb the force of dropping the phone that would result in the screen cracking.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
Just trolling a bit... nothing personal, I rather appreciate architects.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Anyway, glass is glass (a supercooled liquid), and gorilla glass or not, it cracks when you drop it. Drop any smartphone and all of them will shatter at some point. The reason gorilla glass is used though is it's more scratch resistant that most materials, and its hard enough for everyday use.

It's possible there is a manufacturing flaw or defect. On the first edition iPod Nano's, a lot of screens seemed to crack. At first we thought it was abuse, but it's unlikely THAT many people abused it. It's possible the glass itself has a small defect in the mixture even, that makes it weaker than it should be for some phones.

But only time will tell. I don't personally think the design is flawed myself. Granted there is a small bridge of glass at the bottom that may be more fragile, but the only solution for that would probably be to change the home button to a touch button, but then I could see a problem with people accidentally putting their phone into restore mode when turning it on (because the combinations would have to be simplified). If you snap the small bridge though with force, the same force would do damage to other parts of the touchscreen too anyway probably.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
Probably. But there are also a lot of joes who do a lot of research before and after buying a phone too.
