I agree with you. I have had the think vibrate my ear off a few times.

One thing that really pisses me off is the dialer with an incomming call. ITs a pain in the ass to actually answer the call. Intead of it answering when you swipe, you have to go through 3 steps:

-Swipe

-pick end call or hold call

-swipe again to answer.

Im going to start a new thread to see if anyone knows how to answer call waiting instantly without these steps.
[Captivate General] aloant:
Here's an app I quickly made that disables the notificiation vibrator when in a call. It is a very simple/minimal app with no icons to run, or settings to change. Just don't uninstall while in a call or the vibrate setting will remain off. I only tried it with Call + Gmail vibrate.

hth :)
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Got ya.

Its just a matter of how i use my phone. When my phone is charging, most of the time its on vibrate and i feel the vibration in the table/desk or hear it on my night stand.

I just didn't make the jump in logic.
[Captivate General] hondaguy:
have you tried going to

settings

call settings

all calls

alerts on call

change to sound? i have my sms set to both sound and vibrate and when i am on a call i just hear a tone
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
First off, my apologies for not proof reading my poor swyping abilities.

What I was trying to state is that if it bothers you so much that the phone should ring as opposed to vibrate when plugged in , it just takes a second to change the notification type. Not sure what is there that doesn't make sense?

The vibrating in your ear, is totally understandable, hence why i didn't comment on that. IF my phone vibrated while it's on my ear, i'd be upset too.
[Captivate General] apollokid:
I don't think you have sms vibrations set or maybe you're using non-stock rom - it's under the messages application. You had me for a minute cause I never checked call settings\all calls. Nonetheless - no that doesn't work. It still vibrates on a call.

Thanks I appreciate the effort. Unfortunately it seemed to turn off the vibrations all together. Lol. Even when I'm not on a call it doesn't vibrate. Can we get a second iteration? Please?

Thank you guys for the Handcent and ChompSMS suggestions. These seem to handle the message events the way I expect as they allow for in-call vibration alert customizations. Unfortunately they take over and get rid of my message puzzle pieces (cheezy I know, but I've grown to like those little things). I'm so picky - but that's what great about android right? Endless customizations!

I defintely would be interested in a less intrusive way to deal with the issue (i.e NoInCallVibrate)
[Captivate General] apollokid:
Ooook...I found this app called Tasker. Wow what a program. Talk about information overload. Long story short - it does everything. Got rid of vibrations while on a call. The program - 45mins of reading (yes it's that much) and 5 mins of testing. Turning off vibrations is not even the tip of the iceberg with this program - It's pretty dope. Let me know if anyone wants more information.

HELP regarding NoInCallVibrate apk above

Definitely share how to get this Tasker.

P.S. All...

UsedNoInCallVibrate and was pleased.

Until I found out that I do not receive vibrations while NOT in a call.

Played with settings, no matter what, no vibration for notification.

Everyone please tell me i dont have to factory reset.

shouldnt be too horrible though, thnks to titanium ;)
[Captivate General] aloant:
Have you tried the new version? It will explicitly enable vibrate at the end of the call instead of trying to restore the last state. Basically, install, call, hangup and it should enable vibrate.

[Captivate General] mikeyson999:
No i havent. I was unaware of the newer version.

ill try it out, thanks!

Tasker is amazing and a must have btw
[Captivate General] apollokid:
Yeah I should have warned people. That first version did the same thing to my phone. To get the vibrations back I installed SoundManager. I haven't tried the second iteration of NoInCallVibrate yet. Anyone?
[Captivate General] shoeboxin:
I noticed this as well when I first got the phone, but there is a setting to disable it built in to the phone, because I remember changing it and now my phone no longer vibrates during calls. I'll try to find out/remember what the setting is, but it wasn't obvious.

Edit: Actually hondaguy is correct, if you simply turn "alerts on call" to "off" (like he said it's under Call Settings->All Calls->Alerts on Call) instead of "sound", there will not be any vibrate during a phone call. Having it set to sound does allow for the vibration. I know that's not as nice as having a setting that allows just for a noise when a text gets in, but that's how it is unless you want to use one of the other apps. When you are not on a call the phone will still vibrate/make noise or whatever you have it set to do when a message comes in.
[Captivate General] apollokid:
Doesn't that mean you wouldn't receive a notification at all say if someone was calling you on the other line?
[Captivate General] shoeboxin:
Hmmm, that's a good question. I think I can remember having something tell me a call was waiting once or twice, but that could just be memories from previous phones. I will have to test this out.
[Captivate General] shoeboxin:
Just tested it makes two short beeps every 2-3 seconds, even with the notifications turned to "off". Interesting and strange.

[Q] Possible to programmatically swap the mapping of Emotion key and the "@" key?

I am just curious since I believe a lot of folks would love this. I use the "@" key so much more often and almost never use the emotion icon.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
I'd rather have the emoticon button swapped into a speech to text button like the Droid 2 has. I am fine with the @ key the way it is personally. Its like that on my Moment, my laptop and my sister's laptop.

I use the speech to text input button alot and would love to have it on the hard keyboard like the Droid 2 has it
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
it can be done with a text editor
[Epic 4G General] sling:
Very Simple edits to " s3c-keypad.kl " & "qwerty.kl" files will provide what your looking for

[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
How do you do the "text editing" in order to swap the buttons? (I'm noob)
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
THISTHISTHIS

I never use my @ key (or when I do, I use Alt+2), but I love the speech to text. I should take a look at a Droid 2 dump and see the feasibility of this.

EDIT: Just checked one out, and it seems fairly simple:

Dunno how this'll work out on the Epic, whether it's MotoBlur-relevant, etc., but the first easy step would just be changing the emoticon's key from whatever it is now (haven't downloaded an Epic dump) to VOICE. Out of curiosity, I'm gonna try the edit on my G1 (replacing the @ key for now) to see if it'll work without MotoBlur.

Edit 2: No-go on my G1 running Android 2.2. I'll have to wait and see how the Droid 2 devs handle it once they have working stock ROMs running. I think it is possible, but this makes it much less easy. I think we need the Droid 2's "Voice Command" application, but that might require frameworks from Motoblur, and I'm not really a skilled enough dev to get any further.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551344

Should work on the Epic and any other Android phone as well.
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
Thanks for the response ^^

I really hope it can be done. That would be terrific. Btw, with the Droid 2 voice button, I think you have to be inside a text field for it to work, not 100% sure. Once you're in the text field, you can hit the button and the words are written there.

I didnt get a chance to try that button outside of a text field...
[Epic 4G General] Rtalian:
solution to remapping keys

I have remapped my physical MENU and HOME keys (the ones on the qwerty keyboard). pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/keymaps_keyboard_input.html (I've had an account for a while, but I was not allowed to post this as a link) should help for reference, in case you want to make different changes from what I have made. For example, "AT" should be the keycode for the "@" symbol.

In the attached keylayout file, I have changed the physical "MENU" key to "TAB" and the physical "HOME" key to "DPAD_CENTER". The reason I have set "HOME" to "DPAD_CENTER" is so that I can use that key plus "1" in Terminal Emulator to send "Escape" in vi.

I apologize in advance, but I probably will not have time to answer questions that are answered elsewhere on XDA, like how to root or how to use vi. I am not responsible for your actions. Be sure to backup your s3c-keypad.kl before making any changes.

You will need root and busybox (I used the busybox from Titanium Backup and set up symbolic links in /system/sbin, since there was nothing else there) for this to work. After you have root and busybox set up, run the following commands in Terminal Emulator.

Get superuser permissions:

su

Get a better shell that has autocomplete and command history:

ash

Remount /system in read/write:

mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

Now, if you want to make modifications yourself:

vi /system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl

If you manually make these changes, it is a bit tricky, because you have to use "r" to replace individual characters. You cannot use "a" to append or "i" to insert, because you have no way of pressing "Escape." I had to put "DPAD_CENTER" on the "VOLUME_DOWN" key initially, so that I had enough characters to replace and moved it after I rebooted.

If you would rather use my keylayout, make a backup of your s3c-keypad.kl, download the attached file, and "cp" it to /system/usr/keylayout/s3c-keypad.kl

Any changes to this file require a reboot to take effect. If you do something wrong, all of the keys after the one that is incorrect will be unusable. If that happens, just "cp" your backup over your bad file. Fortunately, the keys you will likely want to change are pretty close to the end of the file.

Good luck, & have fun!

EDIT: I can confirm that "AT" does work on the "SMILY" key for the "@" symbol.
[Epic 4G General] ldrn:
Thanks a million for the great guide! I can confirm "AT" for "SMILY" does work, although my other attempts at key adding didn't go quite as well. (I have .screenrc on my server set to remap @ as escape from using my Pixi.)

I might try changing things around again if I can figure out how to get the fn+key options working -- but for now, this is awesome. SYM is next to go... :)

I am more and more tempted by your menu key mod... although I actually use that one, it is just in the perfect position. I could swap it over to the right for Search, which I never use, but then we're just getting really crazy with labels not matching.
[Epic 4G General] RTbar:
Can someone make an app that can swap the smiley and @ buttons for those of us who don't know how to use commands?
[Epic 4G General] Rtalian:
Hey, no problem! I'm glad I could help. I tried getting the Fn+ keys to work, too, but it looks like editing the compiled keychar files would be needed for that.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
I have keyboard shortcuts and you have to hold seach plus press a key, pretty nice imo. I will b switching the smiley key to @, and sym to .com

Hi, I live in Mexico, and I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S but i'm not sure what version should i get, the International i9000 (8GB) or the ATT Captivate (16GB).

I know the Captivate can now be unlocked and this should work with no problems with my carrier since they work on the same network, but i'm not sure how customizable this device can get compared to the i9000.

I would like to use it with LauncherPro (to be more vanilla) and remove all the ATT Stuff and of course to LagFix-it. Also i don't really care about not having a front facing camera on the Captivate.

On design i really like the back of the Captivate (with its metallic battery cover), on contrary to the i9000 that feels a lot more plastiky.

So, i hope your advices can help me decide wish version of the Galaxy S I should get. All I want is not to get abandoned by not being able to update it when new versions of Android get released. If ATT don't update it anymore I hope the community does it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E_man5112:
I'd go with the captivate (but being in the captivate forum, I assume you'll here that a lot)

Much of the i9000 stuff can be ported over, if not directly flashed, the i9000 only has three, rather than four buttons, the captivate looks better as well. You don't care about the ffc, so yeah. I'd go captivate.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doo_s4:
I just ordered a 16gb class 4 micro SD. my phone is modded to cyan 6 RC2 (might be upgrading to RC3). it has not been activated yet so i have not downloaded any apps besides what is on it from previous owner if any at all besides what comes stock.

my question is what is on the 4gb card that I would need to transfer on to the 16gb or can I just pop in the new 16gb card? is the ROM on it? hidden files?

if there are stuff, how would I transfer it? I figure I would do this before I activate and have stuff on it like apps since it's probably simpler and faster to do while data is minimal on the cards if any at all.

thanks.

I installed GoogleTranslate in my Android device. Every time I run it I get to Android Market screen . Has anyone encountered this problem? :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] apollokid:
Ok so I'm coming from the symbian world (all hail the legendary N95). I like my captivate for the most part but one thing I find slightly annoying is scrolling thru a couple pages of apps to find what I want. I would like to have application groups or folders (i.e. Games, Utilities, Commerce, Misc). Is there a way to do this on Android?
[Captivate General] skinien:
My best advice would be to use a home page to hold folders that house the apps that you use. You can put folders on your homes pages but not in the app drawer.

Another idea: LauncherPro puts your apps in alphabetical order which makes it a little less annoying.
[Captivate General] apollokid:
Ok thanks. I suppose the adding folders to the home pages is one workaround.

Yeah the OS on default lets you choose to sort your apps alphabetically in the app drawer, but then you have those times when you know the app you're looking for but can't remember the name (maybe just I do). Would be nice to have some kind of order...
[Captivate General] quarlow:
If you leave it in Customizable grid I belive it will add the new apps to the last page, in the order you install them.

But I agree the folders on your home page sounds like the best solution for you. I don't use them myself but I have heard that once you restart your phone the contents of said folders will alpabetize themselves, so you cannot keep a specific order within a folder on the homd screen.
[Captivate General] khoavuong:
"Apps Organizer" (free) is what you need.

"More Icons Widget" might be good, too, but I haven't tried it.
[Captivate General] Unhelpful:
Another vote for Apps Organizer - labels for apps, multiple labels per app, folders for your labels with custom icons, and the ability to star favorite apps and have them appear first in folders. Auto App Organizer is nice enough too, but I always ended up having to fixs its categorise by hand anyway, auto-categorize never uses your custom categories, and somehow it has completely lost the ability to launch Maps on my phone.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
This is what I do. The only time I touch the app door is to add a newly installed application to a folder on the home screen.
[Captivate General] carpboy:
I use app organizer and it is wonderful.

My issue is the massive apps folder. Is there any way to remove the entries in this folder?

I segregate my apps in appropriate folders but I would like to pare this folder down as I move the apps to wherever, I would like to use this folder as an indicator of those apps that I haven't yet moved to their new homes.

An alternative would be to have all new apps appear in some other entity from which I could move their references around.

Hello, I am in need of a little help. I am a complete noob to android and have no idea really how the system works. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and have decided to root my phone for 2 reasons.. ap2sd and so I can install the lag fix. I have done a bit of reading and chosen the path I wish to take but would like some assurance and pointers. I am also unsure of: If I root my phone does this automatically mean that with a properly partitioned sd card that I can store apps 2 sd or do I still need to flash the handset with a new ROM and if so there I am stuck... I do not know where to begin with searching for the best ROM for me. Also I would like to know if after i've done this will the handset still be able to receive the official updates or will I just need to keep updating it myself!

Here is the rundown as far as i have got so far...

Samsung Galaxy S I9000/XXJF3 Updated!

All the programs for XP i need are downloaded (eg.net3.5/4, samsung drivers)

The root method I thought was best for me was that of TGA_Gunman

The lag fix I had chosen is by Chainfire

I have still to back up the original ROM with ClockWorkMod (Is this easy to do and if I need to use it will it bring me completely back to my original settings for warranty purposes, or is there other things I would need to do?)

Also could someone provide me with a link to the best noob proof SD partitioning method!!

Is there anything I'm missing here, or anything that could be done a better way!! Any and all pointers will be much appreciated....

P.s. I would be wanting to update to the official froyo update when it's available will this cause me problems and if so what must I do!

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
rooting the phone is safe, and it will not cause any damage to the phone.

but stuff that you install after you root your phone, or modifications and customization changes that you do, might brick the phone, is not done properly (that's the worse case scenario), normally it will just get stuck in a black screen, or endless loop.

All that can be easily fixed using the 3 button Recovery Mode, or 3 button Download mode as posted in the Wiki

I'll suggest you to try the phone rooted but stock with whatever firmware you choose to run.

use the "Lag Fix" only if you really feel the phone sloppy.

I've been using my phone from day one to now without the "Lag Fix" because i've not experience any lag at all.

However I do install Apps to the external SD card, as i want to keep my internal SD as free as possible.

the best link for the Lag Fix & SD card partitioning is the sticky here

Read some more into the problems with the lag fixes and now see why you were trying to steer me away.... Still way to many bugs for my liking!! I think for now its best like you said to just root and flash a better firmware... But how do I do this, correct me if im wrong:

1. Root phone via TGA_Gunman method

2. Back up phone using clockworkmod

3. download new firmware from samsung firmwares

4. put downloaded firmware onto root folder of internal SD

5. shut down phone then put the phone into download mode (Using the 3 buttons)

6. select the update.... then wait it out!!

Am I missing anything ???

As I side point I called the european samsung office today to ask if there was going to be a fix for the lag in the next month, or is it just the GPS it's concerned with... Samsungs response.... "There wasnt a problem with lag on the phone as far as we knew... You're the first person to complain of it... It has to be a problem with your handset"...

i'm still using the stock ROM on mine, and i don't experience the lags some people are having.

i can browse fast, switch apps fast, play audio/video fast, launch GPS app fast, and get a lock fast even when the car is moving on the road already

i do leave stuff like Fring running in the backgroup for my IM and video calls, meanwhile the music player plays via Bluetooth to the car Deck or BT headphones, and using GPS to check my route for speed, traffic jam, etc.

email is constantly syncing, set to auto sync every hour

if i want to check the weather it loads up instantly
