please post your quadrant scores so we can compare!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Quadrant doesn't mean much

even when you hit 2000+ score, your device still performs about the same in real life.

think about it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] larryccf:
not sure i agree - after lag fix, my quadrant scores jumped up to 2109 to 2312 (e test ran)

and i notice Market opens now almost instantly, same with youtube

other apps, all appear to be opening faster, some only slightly faster while others i can major improvement
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
either way quadrant is definitely miz and we need something better. It's like looking at 3D mark scores, sites like Tomshardware and Anandtech might post them, but they specifically state how superfluous they are.

Also, quadrant only tests specific things.. Benchmarks are a tool, and it's easy to optimise for them, with much less gains to everything else..

Do you even know why this happens? It just shows that the overall score is meaningless.

Yes, the lagfix makes the phone more responsive but you can compare it to other scores with the fix in place. You COULD get Quadrant Advanced and compare all the other bits (not I/O).

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] HTCnooby:
So, I've tried to read through all the forums and follow the instructions but for some reason I just can't get app2sd to work.

I have partitioned my sd card every which way. I used minitool partition wizrd to partition card on windowsxp.

I have tried installing and re-installing and uninstalling but every time I do this regardless of the method, when I reboot android seems force close everything. I mean it won't even boot into the home screen. just Force close over and over and over again.

I have a Telus milestone and I'm currently running Dexter's build of motofrenzy 0.5a with updates. Also seem to get the same problem when trying to install Jit beta.

I have been using latest G.O.T to install.

I like motofrenzy becuase I can use FROYO pre-official release with adobe flash. If anyone can think of a better FROYO rom compatible with milestone including slider keyboard I'm willing to listen. I just want Jit and more importantly app2sd to work.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Give the free app called Startup Manager a shot. You need to have your phone rooted in order to use it, as far as I know.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatevaUsay:
Sorry, there are probably 100s of topics like this out there and just as many tutorials. But that is what's making me confused.

So this is a step-by-step of what I have to do in order to flash a ROM right?:

1. Format phone/SD card

2. Remove SD card

3. Run Task 29

4. Turn off by removing battery

5. Turn on by pressing Volume Down button and Power Button

6. Wait 'till it gets to the coloured screen and connect via USB cable

7. Flash ROM (Energy Leo 21914 Sense 2.5.Cookie DinikGlass)

8. Flash radio (2.07.50.27 2) or should I choose a different one?

9. Hard-reset, then turn off -> insert SD card -> turn on

10. That's it.

So is this what i have to do? I currently have a stock ROM (1.43.206.4) and I have never flashed before, as you can clearly tell. I did install HSPL3. I know there are plenty of tutorials, but they are so detailed it's making me confused. So help out a newbie and tell me if you approve of this step-by-step?

:o

Oh and what are the risks of flashing? Is there any chance I could mess something up, like brick it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
1 download hspl3, unzip it, connect phone, right click hspl.exe and choose "run as administrator", change the dropdown to 2.08.hspl

2 download the rom you want. if it doesn't include customruu then download that too.

3 put customruu and the rom (filename.nbh) in a folder together

4 run customruu

to add a radio, make a new empty folder, and do the same as step 4 above. radiofile.nbh and customruu in folder, run customruu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatevaUsay:
That's it? No task 29, no hard reseting?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
you can if you want, but it isnt essential. Nor is the hard reset.

For me, I do the flash, let it set up, if it feels at all glitchy(or if there are any noticeable errors, of course) in the first 20 mins or so of use, I hard reset, if it still feels glitchy, i task29 and flash again.

It all depends whether the prospect of flashing twice in an hour scares you or not, hehe. I flash several times a day when im flashing, so an extra 20 mins here and there is no biggie. Id say i have to hard reset/task29 about 1 in 15, 1 in 20 flashes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatevaUsay:

So now that you've had a good laugh, please keep this thread about headsets you've tested or heard of and share your experience (especially if they have hiccups! because it's bluetooth we're running on!)

Please add links or pictures!​

I'm going to start the best wireless headset thread by recomending the Plantronics Altec Lansing Backbeat 903/906 headset :p

Highlights:

- no hiccups, perfect connection with I9000 at all times!

- 8 hrs battery life

- micro USB, charges off any micro USB source

- lightweight

- not completely in-ear (won't block outside noises)

- adjustable height and rotation of the speaker

- volume/next/back slider

- play/pause/bass boost button (amazing sound with 5.1 activated!!!)

- end call/voice command/call last dialed button

The 906 model is identical but comes with a bt transmitter for your bt-less devices that have a jack (fairly useless).
​
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rhitey:
Yep I use the 903's and they're fantastic.

I do sometimes struggle with the in your ear style phones

but these are super comfy and to my ears they definitely

sound better than the factory ones.

Gets my vote :-D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
Sony DR-BT21G

sport style bluetooth headset. Non in ear, so great for those of you who also have a small ear canal. No visible mike, but reception quality is still decent even when outdoor.

Music quality is acceptable. Some bass. Nowhere near a full headphone though.

11 hours of playback time. Now that's alot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
looks quite decent compared to the simlar design from Motorola

features just like the Jabra BT8010

the last Plantronics stereo BT headset i purchased was a piece of junk it didn't have any remote features at all

gonna see if i can find this model for cheap
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Metatron111:
In the Amazon reviews, they often say that the distance the Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 can cover is very short and that if you put your phone into your pocket the connection interrupts. Did you experience similar problems so far?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Bec07:
No, it works perfectly, tested on i9000 and sony w660.

If it doesn't work well on other devices blame their crappy BT antenna design.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Dogmann:
Hi all

I'm using a Nokia BH-500 headset adapter that produces great sound and additional volume and all its functions work as they should and the sound using it with my Shure EC2g's is nothing short of stunning. It has no stutter lag or drop outs at all just works as it should I've had my BH-500 for ages and got mine on E-Bay for just £35 if you can find one well worth the money IMO.

Marc
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Bec07:
I can also vouch for the Nokia BH-503, quite bulky and not practical in the summer, but a good headset none the less.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Ptechnix:
I'm currently using the Backbeat 906 with the my SGS I9000 and I have to say I'm quite impressed by it. Despite the large size, it's actually quite light and very comfortable. Though I have to say it does take a bit of getting used to that the ear pieces don't actually sit snug in your ears like normal canal phones do. I keep worrying that the person sitting next to me can hear everything that I'm hearing!

That being said, I have no problems listening to music or calls with the phone in my back pocket. The bass, I find, is surprisingly good in the increased bass mode and is a pleasure to watch movies on.

Call quality is excellent on my end however, it's far from the best from the other end. But I guess this is to be expected given the design.

All up, for $47 US on ebay, I have to say I'm pretty darn happy with it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] LostAlone:
I had a motorola S9 which I used for a long time with my blackberry, and a little with my SGS before it died in a party related accident.

Anyway, it was a fine headset and served me well. Stayed well synched and lasted maybe 7-8 hours, although I only ever had reason to use it for that long between chargers on one or two occasions. It was comfy enough, although anyone with long hair (mines loooong) will get it perpetually caught in the headset because you have to wear it over the top of however you normally hair your hair.

Anyway, decent sound, decent connection. For best results, you need to carry your phone in a back pocket, although it'll hold connection anywhere except in a jeans front pocket or similar. Then it gets a little wobbly.

I got mine cheap so I never complained about its bad points, but its far from perfect, especially with its solid ear cups. To operate the controls you have to jab blindly and REALLY hard to make them work, which in turn jabs the ear cups into your ears painfully.

Personally, Im going to get myself a Jabra BT3030 for the upcoming year. Im all about ear buds, and the only reason I got a BT headset was because I wanted to try out the concept, and I hated having to untangle my headphone everytime i wanted to take my phone out . Anyone who has used one with the SGS, I'd love to hear how it shapes up.

I was looking for a good stereo headset that would have a long play time a good sound and not too expensive.

This one is perfect it costed me 50 euros and the it delivers a really good sound with strong basses (I listen a lot to drum and bass) and the earmuff allows a pretty good isolation (I'm using inear headphones since the one that looked like disposable earplug and I can't stand regular headphones since then but this headset isolation is really good)

After telling you how much I like this headset here's the only "issue" that I had with, some people I called with it where saying that they couldn't hear me perfectly BUT I found the solution on android

*#*#197328640#*#* > [5] Audio > [4] Bluetooth > [9] Diamon Solution > [3] Voice booster > [1] VB ON/OFF and input 1, you can change [4] boostgain too

And since then no one complained and I can talk to people with the headset in the metro with no issue

Thanks for bringing the Plantronics Altec Lansing Backbeat to my attention. I am looking for headphones for when i go running and if i dont have to worry about wires getting tangled all the better.

does anyone have experience running with these? do they stay in place or do they fall out?

many thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] rongden:
Ive been using the Philips SHB7110 and they work like a charm. I didn't want any extra cables and/or dongles so this was perfect.

Although they only last around 4,5-5h of continous music that is enough for me most days and the touch controls works like a charm! its soo simple to use and they fit perfectly in my ears. :)

So the only downside with these are the short batterylife. So i've perhaps look around for some pair with better batterylife if i would need it in the future.

But if you can live with a battery time that last that "long" its a really good BT headset, and the standby time is well over 24h so i'm not complaning there.

Can't get it to work today

SGS just refuse to send any sound to this headset today. I've had it working before. Now it pairs fine, telephone give bluetooth connected, under devices the 9xxbackbeat is shown complete with headphone icon.

However, starting the stock music player send sound to telephone speakers. Clicking the "menu" - "via bluetooth" doesnt do anything. The 9xxBacbBeat is listed as connected and thats it.

There is nothing as frustrating as expensive hardware not cooperating and not giving any reason or way to debug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] evil-doer:
alright so i bought the backbeat 903 and they fit fine, they sound good enough with music, and the skip song, volume, pause, etc all work perfectly fine to my i9000m.

now the problem. i just tried a call with them and while the other person said i myself sounded fine. i had to ask them to repeat everything like 3 times before i could figure out a word they were saying. it was VERY distorted. all swishy underwater sounding. and this was with me right beside the phone.

any ideas? any settings i can tweak? as i said the music playing sounded perfectly fine, even with me walking quite a distance away from the phone. but in a call it was ridiculously bad. sigh.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aridoasis:
i got the jabra bt3030. my only problem that the back, skip, and play buttons don't work as they should. back and skip work only when held and pressed down and ff/rew the song, doesn't actually go back to previous or skip the new one. the play/pause doesn't actually work at all.

dunno, maybe i'll drop it for the sony mw600 or samsung sbh650.

Recently I purchased 3 different A2DP bluetooth stereo headset. Bluedio BF18 (cheap bluetooth), Philips SHB9000, and SonyEricsson MW600. I will try to make a short review based on my personal experience.

1. Bluedio BF18

Price: $18

Sound quality: 5 out of 10

Ref: dealxtreme.com

I bought BF18 last month for $18 from DX site. Mainly to listen audio from my laptop. The sound quality is decent, but there's noticeable hiss sound. The supplied earphone is very bad. Surprisingly when I use my own earphone (samsung, and SonyEricsson HPM-78) the sound is good, clear vocal, and good bass. But is has the worst signal reception, when I left my phone on my room it almost immediately disconnect (4 meters).

Pros:

- Cheap.

- Good sound quality if you use your own earphone.

- 6 hours music.

Cons:

- Noticeable hiss sound.

- Bad supplied earphone quality.

- Bad signal reception.

2. Philips SHB9000

Price: $120

Sound quality: 7 out of 10

Ref: philips.com

I bought Philips SHB9000 after reading positive reviews. I liked the design, powerful bass sound, and long music/standby time. I can use it for music for more than 18 hours. But somehow I don't like sound of vocal (singer) and instrument like guitar, the sound is muffed. To solve this I adjust EQ. And also this headset is VERY uncomfortable after 30 minutes of use. The headset is pressing my ear way to tight.

Pros:

- Nice design.

- "Full sound" function. Extra bass. You'll like if you are bass head.

Cons:

- Pricey, considering the quality its delivered.

- Muffed sound with default EQ.

- Uncomfortable after 30 minutes of use.

- Signal reception is same as Bluedio BF18.

3. SonyEricsson MW600

Price: $70

Sound quality: 8.5 out of 10

Ref: sonyericsson.com

External review: Esato.com

This is by far the best bluetooth headset I ever had. Futuristic design, good vocal and adequate bass sound. It has more than 8.5 hours of music streaming, OLED screen to display battery, device selection, Caller ID/Number, and song title (doesn't work on SGS, only works on SonyEricsson phones as far as I know).

Pros:

- Good sound quality, low hiss (barely noticeable). Supplied earphone has a good quality (HPM-78).

- OLED screen.

- Multipoint support.

- Build in FM radio.

- Good signal reception, more than twice than Bludio and Philips.

Cons:

- Didn't display song title, only supported by SonyEricsson phones (AFAIK).

- The display is not scratch-proof.

Anyway, I'm currently using JPK (Froyo 2.2) and the default samsung music player is not supporting control from all of my bluetooth devices. It used to work on Eclair. Player like TTPOD works like a charm :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mengsuan:
Apparently MW600 gives the best sound quality without breaking wallet. I think I shall give it a try.

Btw, I planned to use the bluetooth headset on computers. I heard that bluetooth devices cannot use its microphone in A2DP together with microphone simultaneously. If that's true, I wouldn't be able to do voice chat in online games :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PhoenixFx:
I'm using a Motorola S605 Bluetooth clip.

IMO Bluetooth clips are the way to go. Because you can use your own pair of headphones with them, and they are relatively cheaper.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Bec07:
IMHO clips are useless since you could simply use a small mp3 player if you really want to be tangled around cords.

A clip simply defies the purpose of cordless and BT.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Bec07:
I had the exact same problem yesterday. I suspected it was the network so I called again and everything was fine.

Also, I'm using the JPC froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Rizlo:
I totally agree. If I have to take out something wired that I need to untangle, at this point I'd rather plug it straight to the phone and save me the hassle of pairing - connecting - listening to re-encoded stuff etc etc etc
