Can someone please recommend a descent/best Barcode Scanner for the SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
you said it already it is called "Barcode Scanner"

find it on Android Market

freebie

works great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ebue:
Thank you. I just thought there was a particular one that everyone liked best. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Piny12:
For me, ixMAT Scanner works best. It reads tiny QR Codes from a far distance without problems.

"Barcode Scanner" always gave me problems scanning tiny QR Codes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ebue:
Thank you. I'll look for it in the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cliffr39:
Also check out QuickMark in the Market

It reads QR and few others, and will also create QR codes for you to share.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ebue:
appreciate the extra tips. Is there any signicant difference between the two?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] andrewluecke:
Actually, I've now dumped a dedicated barcode scanner app, because Google goggle's supports barcode scanning too, as well as a lot of other things, so it is more useful (supports cropping too).

Why use a dedicated app when Google goggle's works as well but also does other things?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cantIntoCode:
Personally I use the 'Barcode Scanner' in the marketplace. Seems to do the job for me. Never had any problems with it, you should try it out.

help

hiya paul i wonder if u can help me unlock my samsung galaxy s gt i9000.its on the 3 network and iv tried the app from the market which is called sgs unlock also purchased the galaxy unlocker but no luck.the galaxy unlocker didnt even start had to force shutdown.i also tried the script which the people from xda come out with .its the window key generator got the code but still no luck.i will be realy grate full if u can help.thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Harts@J:
I like to use the ShopSavvy Barcode Scanner.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] alovell83:
IIRC it isn't as fast on the load or the scan, all-in-ones are nice. particularly when you are accessing all of those things continuously (e.g. App: scan barcode > mkt > back to app: take pic to be analyzed and compared against the web). I love goggles for when I use it, but I stopped using it for barcodes a while ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ebue:
I downloaded the ixMat scanner and it seems to be a very nice app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
the problem with google goggle is damn slooooooow compared to the other mentioned app, and also it requires data connection.

the other apps, it simply scans it, and then you can do whatever you want with the scanned code.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] gbuelow:
I have quite extensively tested various of the scanners from the market and for me NeoReader works by far best. It is extremely quick at scanning and also works from almost any distance and angle, no need to try to fit the code into a predefined window before scanning. Highly recommended.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
good suggestion

i actually like this one better now

it can deal with those tiny little data codes as you can select the area of the screen to scan

Hi there just wondering if anyone could give a hand on using a androis os device to do the ps groove hack.

I was going to give a link to someone who is working on it, but i'm not allowed

I don't have an android mobile, but i have a pc using a live cd, not sure if it'll even be compatible with the ps groove android hack.

thanks for all help in advance!

Hey guys, Evo owner here :), i posted in the evo section and got 2 replies via PM's. I have 4 chips that are flashable for sale. I bought 6 Xplain boards and am using 2 of them. The other 4 are up for grabs. Let me know, more you want the less money ill offer them for. i respond VERY quickly to messages, thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] japperrrr:
I want to remove Adobe Flash Player from my device because in my opinion it is just way too slow to work effective. When I load a website with flash content I almost can't scroll and zooming is just even worse. Does anyone know how I can remove it or turn it off?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
In the browser, press menu.

Settings > Disable plugins (?)

If that doesn't work, use a file explorer such as root explorer (requires root) to delete the flash apk from your system.

It may even be possible to use the built in application manager to remove it, but I can't remember if it shows it or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] japperrrr:
I already disabled the plugins and I tried to remove it with Titanium Backup. When I select Adobe Flash and hit delete I get an error saying the apk-file can not be found.

Where can I find the apk-file in Root Explorer? I'm trying to find it but no succes yet :rolleyes:

> Warning

install_flash_player.apk cannot be deleted because the file system is read-only.

How to bypass this error?

I already found out how to bypass it. I had to press some button to change from r/o to r/w.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
There is one flash player floating around, 10.1.92.8. I removed the install_flash_player.apk (10.1.72) and install this. Didn't see any differences though.

As to your problem, i didn't face any such problems.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wk1029:
I have some suggestion,the roms should be tested in the similar battery power,because,sometimes,the time from 100% to 90% may be much longer than it from 70%-60% in the same intensity!

sorry for my bad english.:D and thx for ur test!it will be beneficial!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkredi:
I got nothing to currently say.. but the best rom i had regarding battery life was DJ Droid 1.1 i don't have results.. but u can check it urself!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dactylion:
lol 14 % overnight. actually with gpio fix cm6 uses 3% overnight like with cyanogenmod5/sense 2.1

if you test opendesire(cyanogenmod clone) you should test it with an render filter applied too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
In depth testing of leedroid, neophyte, ieftm, od, defrost and cyanogen, didn't show much difference between them.

However, if you want to verify it yourself, I strongly suggest you do away with % gauging method and try to use more accurate tools like current widget and power tutor. And that you move this thread out off the dev section, which is for devs.

Hi i am currently using a Jabra BT530 and i find the volume too low despite cranking it up the max.

i am using the latest radio 2.12.50.02_02 radio and energy Sept 2 rom.

its using the Widcomm bluetooth stack. the voice quality is very clear but

both

1. volume i hear is low

2. the other party's volume is also low

i have also updated the latest firmware for BT530

any registry tweaks i can make to increase the volume?

cheers!
[HD2 General] golfer_boy:
If you are willing to spend the money I recommend a custom ear piece. I tried the ha cks and none real work. With my custom ear piece I can set the volume level on the lowest setting and it is still plenty loud.

does this apply for talking? or only music??

i was only really looking for talk as my headset is mono.......

Same thing for me on both my Jabra Extreme and my Cardo Scala rider Q4. To low on calls and to loud on music.

Anyone?

[HD2 General] jaygreene24:
I am experiencing the same problem with my HTC touch cruise and Cardo Scala G4. My phone is also my GPS and Music player. Both GPS and Music sound loud and also scale up and down to compensate for wind noise. The phone portion does not. It is very quiet and is only usable when there is no other noise, basically indoors...

Anyone know how to up the in call output for bluetooth in WM6.5?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
Has anyone else had this? As soon as you select "import from SD" in contacts, you get an android.process.acore FC. I've tried all types of phonebook file format, i've even exported and tried importing from that. It looks like it's crashing the moment you press the button so i don't think it's to do with the file itself, more like a system bug. Any ideas?

How far are we away from the official release of froyo anyway?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AnnihilatorSC:
Is there an application which offers syncing of Exchange tasks (and possibly Notes as well, but not necessarily), other than TouchDown/RoadSync/other full-blown Exchange "clients"? I just need the extra Task sync functionality and prefer to use the native Android Exchange support for everything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
well you can use Google Sync for desktop, which will sync your outlook to Gmail account, including task
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MatejChalupka:
I think, it is not true, because you will not have application for the tasks in the phone. Besides Google sync for desktop (no Google apps), sync only Calendar entries.

AnnihilatorSC, I am using Dataviz Roadsync, set up only to sync taks. For exchange contacts, mail and calendar, I use stock apps. After long research, I have not found any better solutions. I prefer Roadsync over Touchdown, because I think, Roadsync is less resourcers hungry. We have to wait, what future android builds with brings. I will love to have OneNote sync :-)

Peace all,

I was wondering if it would be possible for any Dev to mod the 4G symbol & signal to all BLUE? i am currently running the OTA update STOCK ROM originally provided by Flipzmod (w/ modification to deodexed by bnice20)

*Also, i manage to change my battery to the circular blue mod---however I wanted to know if any one could mod it to these figures:

*100%-50%- BLUE

*50%-20%- GREEN

*20%-15%-YELLOW

*15% -0- RED

thanks in advance

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhypr:
I've been browsing the general android theme sections and I came across this theme: Simplistic V 1.1. It is a really nice theme in my opinion, but it uses Metamorph. As some of you might know Metamorph does not work on the Desire. That's why it would be awesome if someone could make this in to a flashable theme. Unfortunately neither the creator of the theme nor me myself have the knowledge to do this.

So in short, my question is if anyone is willing to make this theme work for the Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaxas:
Iam searching too. Theme nice, but on desire dont work it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhypr:

[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
I noticed that I was getting some really bad battery life with only average usage, so I figured that this might be in part due to it being turned on and activated at the store without first being charged. So last night I tried to go through the motions of recalibrating the battery, but there is no way to reset the stats. I finally got the battery down to about 5% and it hovered there for long over an hour with constant audio streaming and then later 3d gaming, so I know it is not reading the battery properly. I charge it all the way with the phone off overnight, and when I get up, it is reading 100% without the disconnect warning. I turn it on and I have been using it all day today, but I am having the same symptoms.

Is there a way to accurately recalibrate the battery sensor?
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
Having the same problems.
[Epic 4G General] jmm601:
Same problem for me... I recharged my phone to 100% and did a factory reset today, hopefully that helps.
[Epic 4G General] dwyw42:
you could try the battery conditioning method that fixed a lot of evo users' battery issues: h**p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701567
[Epic 4G General] lehaman310:
I did this and the battery is great! I checked an email and browsed the web for 5 minutes and my battery is at 97 after an hour and a half.
[Epic 4G General] odub303:
did anyone else try this and have success? I had my phone on 0% for a good long while the other day and it never shut off. There is definitely something wrong with the initial battery calibration for a lot of us.
[Epic 4G General] suarezl2:
trying this at the moment. will update when done.
[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
It's a lithium-ion battery, guys... They don't have a memory effect. All calibrating it (as you all call it) is going to do is shorten the overall lifespan of the battery. You can argue all you want, but it only takes a little bit of research to learn all of this. People are too used to the days of nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries where calibration and training were necessary.

These batteries like to hold a charge and be full. They like top-offs and constant charging. If you can, charge your phone mid-day, but at least every night. Draining your battery - especially as regularly as some as you do to "calibrate" it - will only bring it closer to its eventual death.
[Epic 4G General] odub303:
No one is talking about draining the battery as a calibration method. Read the post on xda.
[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
Read the first post, got frustrated (a lot of Hero users had the same idea about discharging... poor people probably get awful battery life now), and posted my reply.

The EVO users might be on to something, but that behavior is more associated with a battery that has been let dormant forever. If you have an Xbox 360 (with play and charge kit) or PS3 with multiple controllers, you can test this. Most people use one controller and the extras don't get much play. When you try to charge it, it'll read full much before it is actually full and will die quickly, but if you continue to connect and disconnect the charger, it will keep trying to charge it and eventually will come back to life...

If this is the case with our Epics, I wonder if we're using old batteries... My manufacturing date on my battery is July 27, which means it probably sat around for a little over a month before it got used again. But that shouldn't be long enough to cause this problem.

Did anyone else have an almost-dead battery when they got it? My package said that the battery should have been fully charged, but it certainly wasn't. What is the manufacturing date on everyone else's battery?
[Epic 4G General] odub303:
The build date on my battery is 7-25-10, and it was really low when I got my phone. Of course, I had no clue because the battery icon in the upper right hand corner is horribly inaccurate lol. I have a feeling a lot of the July 2010 build batteries are defective in some way or another. There is a running thread on adroidcentral where people are posting their phone and battery build dates and what, if any, issues they are having.
[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
Maybe I didn't word my post correctly, but I know about the Ni-Cd/Li-Ion difference, and I know that the Li-Ion's don't have memory, but I am talking about recalibrating the sensor to accurately report the battery life. I know that this prinicple works even if my explanation isn't accurate, because when I first switched to Darchstar's (may his name be praised) CyanogenMod Froyo port, the battery life was terrible; but when I applied the battery fix, the "recalibration", or whatever the proper word is, the battery life increased fivefold. That is what I want to achieve on the Epic, move that extra power which is found on the low end so it is accurately displayed on the scale (no, not physically move it, I just didn't know how else to say that). I'm going to try the Evo fix now and see how that works, but I hate the "Charging Complete" thing, because I woke up, and my phone was at 68% battery, so it just sat there plugged in but not recharging all night.

My battery manufacture date is August 12th, and when I got the phone, I didn't actually look at the real battery life, but the indicator was in the second stop, so it could have been anywhere in a wide range, since the first stop doesn't seem to occur until about 70%.
[Epic 4G General] surveysays:
trying this now as i type. hope it works because my battery life is no good lol. let yall know results when im done and test it out
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Your understanding is the same as mine. Tjhe old NiCads needed to be "conditioned" by deep discharge, but the Lithium Ions don't. However, our problem is not conditioning the physical battery, but calibrating the logic on the phone that calculates the battery status. It needs to learn what 0% and 100% look like to phone's sensors.

The sensors themselves, IIRC, are reading two physical properties: voltage and temperature. The calculated percentage is a function of these, but can vary with the state of a given battery unit.

So it is a good idea to do a deep-discharge cycle at the beginning, and maybe occasionally later, to calibrate this function. However, it is also true that a deep discharge is not healthy for the long-term battery life, so the procedure should be performed sparingly.
[Epic 4G General] mikeob5:
I had an all but dead battery when I picked up my first phone. I had many other problems with that phone and took it back for another. Unfortunately I kept the original battery. After numerous little problems with the phone, and poor charge times, I swapped the battery out for the one in the charger/battery kit I picked up. It was almost fully charged out of the box. I did a full charge on it, and all the little problems seem to have vanished. The date on the "bad" battery was 7/27/2010. I'm guessing there's a bunch of unreliable batteries out there, and they may be the cause behind other problems people are having.

Now if they can just come up with a fix for the WiFi config file corruption problem, I'm totally sold on this phone.
[Epic 4G General] johnnyh64:
There is a thread on here that talks about calibrating the battery for an Evo and it did wonders for my phone. I don't have the link but here are the steps:

1. Phone is on. Charge untill told to unplug charger.

2. Unplug charger and turn off phone.

3. Plug in charger and charge until phone beeps (about 1-5 minutes)

4. Unplug charger and turn on phone

5. Charge to 100% again (1-5 minutes)

6. Unplug charger and reboot.

7. All done! Enjoy a new battery.

Before I did this "calibration", I was really feeling bummed that my battery didn't last. I followed a few other recommendations (dark screen, turn off unused services, etc) and I got 1.5 days and still had 10 percent left! This was using the device lightly to moderately. Try it but DO NOT RUN YOUR BATTERY ALL THE WAY DOWN! It's not good for these types of batteries even though there is a safety zone built in.
[Epic 4G General] p2flol:
I'll try this tonight, I did the method that was posted earlier in the evo thread and my charge actually reached 100% for once but was back down to 98% 2 minutes later. I'll try it again I suppose.
[Epic 4G General] p2flol:
Well I just did it so we'll see how my battery is at work, it still sits at 98% I'm guessing the cells are not balanced.
[Epic 4G General] markloika:
I did the charge, power off, charge, power on sequence this morning about 5 times. I have the Battery Watcher widget installed, and I just now I charged it until it said it was fully charged and Battery Watcher said it was 97%. I powered off the Epic, and charged it until it said it was full, I powered it on and Battery Watcher said 91%. What's going on?? Is Battery Watcher inaccurate? Is the phone's way of determining how charged it is inaccurate?
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Just topping the battery off, I thought this was funny, took it off charger, and put back on charger. and it still says fully charged + charging.. yeah.. I agree something wack with the sensor. This lasted for 4-5 mins.. then phone gave me pop up/vibrated.. (fully Charged!)
