[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhilPassmore:
I was using my SGS in the car with both WiFi and GPS on (using sat nav, plus I habitually don't turn wifi off). The unit was plugged into a Belkin brand Car->USB charger, connected to the phone via a Samsung USB data lead.

The phone was in bright sun on the dash, and it popped up a warning that the battery (I think) had got too hot and that charging was being suspended. This was probably made worse by the fact that I use a black silicon skin case.

This was under 'Eclair', couldn't tell you what flavour though.

So it looks as though some firmware manages the situation OK.

I must say that the comments about not leaving your device on charge for long periods of time would seem extraordinary, given that our phones should have enough intelligence to manage battery charge in an effective way.

Phil
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
for the ones wondering, that is using the battery that came with the phone and the usb cable that came with the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
Well, same thing here. Wifi is always on, and the phone doesn't even break a sweat while charging. With "break a sweat" I mean it doesn't get warmer than normal. Both with USB and the travel adapter. Everything bog standard.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
just out of curiosity, for the ones that are not getting hot, do you have GPS and Bluetooth disabled?

i keep my screen set to always on, to prevent the WiFi cut off when it goes to power saving mode, GPS and WiFi is always on as i always keeps my Apps running in the background
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
I leave GPS switched on, but I don't leave any apps running that use it so it's not active. And I have Bluetooth off.

I guess that explains it all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdenis:
I leave everything on - BT, GS, WIFI, and probably a bunch of other stuff Im not even aware of. No warming at all - and doesn't matter if its plugged into the wall or getting the charge from a PC - always cool to the touch.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
What about the charger?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it charges from the computer USB 3.0 port, using the original USB cable that came with the phone

i don't trust the wall outlets, in case of lightning storms or any other random surges
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
But your PC is plugged into the wall, surely? :p

I suppose the PC would protect the phone if the surge isn't too powerful though.

I plug mine into the wall to charge since its more convenient for me, so I can leave it charging on the table next to my bed overnight.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
got a APC UPS to protect all the equipments

so even if the power goes out, i can still charge my phone :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
I just use setcpu to lower cpu when screen off@ 100mhz so no overheating. Also in manual they say its normal to get hot charging
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that wont work, as that's the temp when the the unit is actively working when charging with wifi enabled

there is no heat problem when it's not being used, as in no data transfer going on
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
I had the same with mine.

Charging while doing some work like browsing the web (not just leaving wifi on!!) or playing games can make the phone really hot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
Wifi always on, GPS always on, I never use BT. And I leave the screen off while charging. I double checked now after charging, I noticed it was a tad warmer than when completely idle, but nothing unusual. It gets warmer by speaking for a long period of time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
My phone got really hot last night. I was testing out parallel kingdom so my battery drained rather quickly so I decided to plug into my computer. I ran into the same exact issue, battery drained faster but Iwas using 3G (obviously more battery intensive than wifi, I should've left the game to use wifi, anywho...)...after about 15-30 minutes I noticed how warm the device got. I decided to remove the battery for 20 minutes for speedy cool down. No GPS running as I was indoors but the game does use A-GPS for a map fix, no BT either. I typically leave my apps running in the background.

This definitely not the same test scenario OP describes, not even close.

Why don't you just set WiFi to never sleep? FW issue? I know some aren't great at keeping that instruction.

The screen on will definitely provide more heat than the other users are reporting, that and the wifi just (mostly) idling also makes for some (relative) misinformation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
The only time I had a really hot phone was when I was charging it and had no wifi near so I was connected to my computer with a RDP connection and it heat up pretty fast.

But most of the time it only get warm with wifi and charging
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keuda:
Making a screen-off profile in SetCPU works to keep temperatures down while charging.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bassie1995:
I also have major overheating when charging from AC: It gets to over 60 degrees Celsius...

But it just started a couple of days ago, while the phone is a year old...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] faria:
My sgs started overheating a couple of weeks ago,The device gets really hot and at times while charging the battery keeps dropping!

1-If i turn off the device while charging then the temp goes right down.

2- with phone off and wi-fi on temp drops down while charging!

3-This only started with jvr roms.

In my case it seems that the gsm radio is causing the overheating .

meanwhile i have ordered a new battery even though the battery never gets hot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAYNO20:
For some reason my Google contacts are syncing all the time... every time i check when they synced last its always 3 minutes prior to my check time... It really seems like it is killing battery life, is there a way to set it to only sync once a day or something?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:

I have to emails one is my school g mail the other my personal gmail. I used to have the school one forward messages to the other but that turned into a hassle. I was just wondering if there's anyway to easily switch from one email to the other. Like if there was a widget or something.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
I guess you can use the gmail client for one account and configure the email client to get mails from other gmail account. I use both gmail(thru gmail client) and yahoo mail using the email client. Also I see options in email client to configure more than one account, but haven't tried it. I do not want a combined inbox for more than one account as it will be kinda messy. But you can explore that option too.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Settings - accounts and sync -- add account -- Google account
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
Gmail>Menu>Accounts>Add account
[Vibrant General] ibuddha:
I know how to do this that isn't the problem. My problem is when I get an email I don't automatically which email I'm getting it too. I have to choose the account. I just wish there was a way to separate it right off the bat. Instead of having to go through settings-accounts-email 1/email 2.

Maybe its just wish full thinking.

[Vibrant General] amd_203:
Yeah, sorry but there's no way to do that. I think there was on 2.2 when I had a Nexus One but I can't remember. Or you could try Gmail Pop Up on the market.

I people disappoint me...

Google app for main account.

Exchange ActiveSync for the second google account.

Google "Google Sync"

Vibrant can manage multiple exchange accounts, so it will work even if you have another exchange account set up.

HTH!
[Vibrant General] .justin1:
Search the market for gmail unread count. Its a widget you can add to your desktop that looks like an icon for gmail and will show the number of emails you have unread for any and ever gmail account set up on your phone. Its very stable and quite customizeable. I have a diff color icon for each of my 3 accounts and it makes keeping track of unread mails and accessing the specific account I want very very easy.
[Vibrant General] .justin1:
Theres a sample of mine
[Vibrant General] duuster:
Im not sure if this is what you want. But I also have two gmail accounts, and one quick way for me to go into the right Inbox, is I created a shortcut for each Inbox, using the Gmail Label shortcut, when you create the shortcut, it will ask you which account you would like to use. Then you can rename the shortcut for each inbox to whatever you want, then from the Home screen just click on whatever Inbox. I hope that helps.
[Vibrant General] ibuddha:
This us the part I couldn't do, how do I rename the label once its on my home screen??

Anyone have problems setting up a second Google Account? I've been trying for a few days and keep getting a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error. I've tried both on WiFi and 3G, in different locations( home, at work, out and about), and still can get my second account linked. I did some digging the settings and found the multiple sign in options, turned all that on, and am able to sign in to both account on the web, but still not on my phone.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aczarney:
The only idea I have at this point is that for the market there would be a bag with a metroid on it instead of the android guy. Admittedly, that's very little to work with. I don't want it to be too metroidy, to the point it becomes cheesy. Just something that is clearly metroid inspired android. And good looking, haha. It's a start, but there's a lot of thinking left to do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayzusfk:
So, you want a theme that's basically an icon replacement for the Market?

I'll do it. What's your offer? :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aczarney:
Oh no, I want much more than that. A full theme. If that's all I wanted, I would easily have that covered myself. Its just the only real idea I have right now, other than the idea that I don't want things to have a metroid icon for the sale of having a metroid icon. It all has to be meaningful.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aczarney:
I'm thinking it would be cool to have a battery widget based on the metroid energy take ui, but I wouldn't know where to begin with that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel26:
what would really be awesome is having a metroid live wallpaper like when you touch it it flexes and when you touch the screen it follows you especially when moving through screens.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayzusfk:
I like this better than the theme idea.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ottenjr81:
Ok, my idea is to make the home screen look like the HUD from the metroid prime series. Energy tanks a battery, the transparent orange view finder. Lots of icons from the original metroid should be easy to find. Love the lwp idea also. I have an awesome sound board you should try. Search in market for dev. Unstable apps.

Honestly i would talk with the folks who created wisbar advanced desktop. the concept you have is really cool and i think with this program it could happen. what would be awesome is the whole samsu's HUD idea but i would add like the ability to touch the visor section and there would be the battery,time and signal and the beams section would be the basics, dialer, messages,etc or by touching the visor you get animations to other esential parts of android. with this program it is possible and it will have sound also. i used this on my old tmobile wing windows mobile phone and the things this app could do is amazing. just a thought you know

Hey there,

I thought I'd start a thread to see what kind of plans people have for Bell Mobility, since I've heard there are some pretty great plans out there.

I've been with Bell for 6 years. My contract just expired and I renewed, got a better plan, and bought the Galaxy S i9000M on the same day.

My plan gives me:

450 Daytime minutes

Unlimited Texting

Bell to Bell calls free

Evenings starting at 6

Caller ID

Voicemail

for $19.

Add the taxes, system access fee, and 6 gigs of data for $30, and I am paying $62.

Anybody have a plan that's better?
[General Topics] karakake:
I'm not a Bell customer but my plan looks almost identical to op's

450 daytime mins

5pm early evening

2500 int. text

CID/Caller display

Voice mail

Flex data ($10 for up to 150mb, $15 for 250mb, and $20 for 500mb)

No SAF/911 fee

Total coms $33.50 after tax and data charge (I usually use less than 150mb/month)

This plan made me to buy an i9000m at outright price tho...
[General Topics] hol17:
200 Daytime minutes.

Unlimited Texting.

MyFav 10 Talk & Text Nationwide.

Evenings & weekends starting at 6pm.

Call Waiting.

$50. Bought phone @ $149.
[General Topics] pure_energy1:
I've been with Bell for well over 10 years.

I got an email promotion allowing me to get the Galaxy S for $49 with an additional 20% discount on any 3 year plan that I took. After speaking to retentions I ended up with the following plan, which based on my usage is plenty:

200min

local fab5

evening, wkend @ 6pm

Voicemail

3 Way Calling

Call Forwarding

Call Waiting

Call Display

250 text out, unlim recv.

6gb data

no SAF

for $60 - 20%

For a total of $48.40 +tx

Since I am no longer on a corporate plan, I was then able to add my cellphone service to my "ONEBILL" with my other Bell services (TV, landline, internet) for an additional $5 off monthly. Bringing my monthly cell phone bill down to $43.40 +tx. :)

Looking at my usage, I don't think I'll be needing the 6GB, so I may be changing my plan in the coming months to the following:

150min

National Fab5

evening, wkend @ 6pm

Voicemail

3 Way Calling

Call Forwarding

Call Waiting

Call Display

250 text out, unlim recv.

500mb data

no SAF

$45 -20%

For a total of $36.40 - $5 for ONEBILL, bringing it down to $31.40 +tx.

Here's the promotion:
[General Topics] davidke:

Voice mail - Call display - Call waiting - 3-way conf - fwding

200 min Canada long distance per line

200 text messages out + unlimited incoming per line

3yr commitment

3 Samsung i9000 ($49 each) - 2 usb data modems ($free) - 5 sim cards ($free)

*Note: They sold us the phones for $150 each but for some unknown reason when we got to the store they only charged us $147 for all three. We didn't complain :-)

Grand total: $46 + tx each / month
[General Topics] Leifer:
My original corporate plan that ended this sept had for $25/month:

200 daytime mins

unlimited e/w 8pm

Call Display/Waiting/Forwarding, 3 Way calling and VoiceMail

no saf/911

20 calls free to one number

I had previously had added to my HTC touch:

$10 for unlimited browsing + 75outgoing text / unlimited incoming

I called the retentions and negotiated for the original $25 on a new 3yr deal:

200 daytime mins +100bonus

unlimited e/w now at 6pm

Call Display/Waiting/Forwarding, 3 Way calling and VoiceMail

no saf/911

20 calls free to one number

100 text outgoing / unlimited incoming

Added for $30/month:

6gb data

So my bill is now $55 per month + taxes.
