[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
um titanium used to work with just root and not nand unlocked. the original root method had you use the old unrevoked to unlock root and then back up then unlock nand. when did this change? once you can give superuser permissions you should be able too (this is normally possible at root)

since it isnt editing anything in system (except maybe to attempt to back those up which i dont think it will but ... you dont need to it doesnt make sense to me why it would need nand and not just root. Have you tried using Tb or are you just going by what you read somewhere?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
it was mentioned earlier, but seems to have gotten lost in the thread.

DO NOT USE TITANIUM BACKUP TO BACKUP/RESTORE DATA WHEN UPGRADING TO 2.2 FROM 2.1.

it will screw up your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
actually i have used it on several phones making a blanket statement is not very helpful. YOU CAN RESTORE APPS AND APP DATA USING TITANIUM BACK UP PERFECTLY FINE!YOU JUST DONT WANT TO RESTORE SYSTEM DATA.

you can actually manually restore most system data too just fine if you know what you are doing. things like bluetooth pairings wifi pairings etc can easily be restored no issues you just have to be selective.

the people who have run into problems restoring are the ones that do a plain batch install of all data. this causes issues. i have posted several times methods that work and have been successful for myself and others. it just isn't using one of the batch restores. so making a blanket statement saying you cant use it at all is ignorant and untrue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
I don't know about unrevoked forever since ppl claim that's not a "full" root (I used Toast's method), but when I went from 2.1 to 2.2 rooted roms, I made a full apps+data backup with mybackup pro and didn't have any problems. Was able to restore most of my apps except for a few which is quite easy enough to reinstall instead of the whole setup. If you have root/su, get mybackup pro and you should be able to restore most if not everything. Just don't backup/restore your SU since that conflicts with the SU that usually already comes with custom roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Thanks for clarifying - it looked to me like folks were saying TB was fine on all counts when going from 2.1 to 2.2, and I wanted to make sure people knew it wasn't quite that simple. :)

hi

when will be sim unlocking for x10 be available here?

in my country unlocking this phone is costing me more then 100$.

plz help
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Might help if you inform people where "here" is. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teio:
Lol i think "here" is XDA forums...

Personally i dont think it will be ever avaiable here... but who knows...

have u tried from ebay? I dont know much about unlocking, but i think its not something which is down to where u live.. it might be universal ( a code should work anywhere in the world), but i might be wrong...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jikenda:
Regardless of where "here" is, you should search the forums "here" (XDA) and you should find multiple places / sites where we have all confirmed whether unlock was successful or not...

Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
I notice the phone start lagging when there are less than 100Meg of available RAM on both 2.1 or 2.2 SGS.

Questions....

1. How do i make sure there will always be min 130 available when not in use?

I'm currently using Froyo Task Manager, ATK and SystemPanel together to make that happen manually. A better suggestion or use of them will be appreciated.

I also tried MemoryPlus and Taskkiller (The red android logo)

2. There are so many background service running some of them start with com.samsung.... (what are these?) do we need them?

3. Why some Apps always run without us telling them to run, or ask us to give them to permission to run on background at will?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jakaka:
ATK

In ATK in settings you have auto kill level, which is disabled on default.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
I'm using JPC, ATK autokill will not able to kill at a system level like SystemPanel, so after a day of active use, the memory will still continue to reduce as some of the background service start consuming more and more memory or run more background process. E.g. Touchwiz from 17 Meg to 25 Meg.

So at the start with ATK, i will have 130Meg, after a day of active use i left with 80Meg. With Apps killed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivanchin99:
I use autokiller set to aggressive. memory left 152mb :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xtrememorph:
Cool, does that remain for few days? How often do you restart your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mykron:
free memory is bad memory!

why don't let android do it's job?! this ist linux with a clever memory management, not windows 95!!! deinstall all auto task killer android is handling the memory very well. it uses all it can get and if it's not enough it kills old uses apps from it. why have free memory, there is absolutely no reson for that! ram is fast, let the often used apps be there not on slow sd or nand!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Finguz:
QFT!

What is the point of having memory if it is constantly empty? :rolleyes::D

Think about it this way...If you had five friends at your house and you have five chairs, do you make 2 or 3 of your friends stand so there is always empty space or do you let everyone sit down and worry about something worthwhile? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
True, upto a certain point... I don't think you need to have at least 100 or 150 mb free but it DOES seem to help to not let it get down to like 30mb...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tommy34:
For me:

-JM7

-animations off

-voodoo lag fix

-minfree manager set to preset agressive.

minfree manager customizes the android memory management system.

I love it this way, No lags when starting the Phone (DIALER) or anything else. The dialer annoys me the must, this must be lag free, if i want to dial i want to dial right away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrewluecke:
Btw, I think you have made some wrong assumptions about the Android memory management system, as mentioned, unused ram is wasted ram.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Finguz:
Agreed but I have never seen my Galaxy with free memory that low and I don't use a task killer. Of course I don't often have more than 3 or 4 apps running at the same time ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ro4sho:
This is not about letting ram do nothing.you surely don't wasn't your ram get used up by programs you don't want while you had no hand in this.All those services running I don't want.badly written programs that are hanging out in memory instead of closing.at least in symbian an app closed when you exited.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] exadeci:
Why would you have 100MB free ? Do you have any application that needs 100MB to run ?! The android system already has enough memory to run so even if you could have 200MB of free memory you phone wouldn't run any faster you would just be able to lauch around 20 apps at the same time.

Read this:

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
Dunno, I just noticed that one time my phone was VERY sluggish and memory free was around 20mb or so. Cleaning it up did seem to help (unless one of the programs killed was causing the lag of course).

Ah well... Whatever people choose right? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacob12:
You guys can argue all you want that free RAM is a waste of RAM....

But it is a fact that the SGS runs much slower when the free RAM is low. This is the experience of all the SGS'es I have tried and my own as well. At least this is the case when running 2.1. I have not tested anyone with 2.2 yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] matty___:
It s starts to lag when memory is below 40 mb. So when it s low and you start an application it starts to lag. I set it to 50-55-60 and got hardly any lag. No need to keep so much free ram
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jelmer5:
Which ROM are you using? as the low memory killer level for background apps is set at 40M which means you should have 40M free all the time or it will start killing background apps. This is also why task killers are useless, free ram is wasted ram for android.

I never had the experience that more free RAM is faster, perhaps with the stock rom but JC and upwards are all good by default. Animations off + Oneclick lagfix (or another) and the phone stays totally lag free.

Being an android user for 1,5 years now i'm very confident Taskkillers are useless except when an app is stuck. I've had periods where I used them allot but the phone only gets slower as the killed apps have to be loaded into the memory again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Seifer1975:
Provided you are not expecting anymore friends. The problem happens if all your 5 friends are happily seated and along comes 2 more friends a-visiting. So you have to now move 2 inactive (for want of a better word) friends out of the seats so that you can accommodate the 2 new ones. This takes time. So why not move these friends out as soon as they become inactive so that the space is readily available when someone comes calling?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sharky34:
Try to have a read about garbage collector before argueing about free memory.

The more you try to have a large amount of memory, the more you will need major GC (and during major GC all activity is frozen).

If you let the system manage memory, it does minor GC as needed when it reaches min memory waterline (seems to be 50Mo on SGS).

Let the system do its job.

Get rid of task killer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] etking:
I completely disagree. OK, it is better to use memory, but the android memory management is extremely inefficient since it does not know which foreground and background processes are important to the user and which are not, even though it tries to figure that out. Since the Galaxy S does not allow the system to use the full 512MB of memory, this can be a critical factor. And the Galaxy S definitely lags massively when less then 70 or so MB of free RAM is available this is definitely a fact.

The biggest problem is that you cannot manually close apps and only have multitasking access to the last 6 apps used. If you use 7 apps simultaneously, the 1st app still consumes memory but you cannot even switch back to it. And there are so many useless background processes, starting up over and over again and consuming hundreds of MB memory if they are not killed in regular fashion.

Who needs gesture search, amazon mp3, layar, and all the samsung crap running in the background all the time. If you only have 10 such applications and each of them only consumes 15MB of ram, 150MB are wasted for nothing.

Every second market application registers itself as autostart on every boot, so to use a autostart manager is also mandatory.

Since everybody can easily develop for Android the application quality and resource efficiency is not always perfect. So in my opinion Android needs a task manager, this is why even Samsung integrates such a application.

Using a well configured ATK (set to ignore system applications, widgets and apps frequently used for multitasking and killing every else on screen off) and autokiller (strict setting) in addition to Autostart Manager (had to remove 40!!! useless apps from automatic startup) and lagfix, the SGS runs perfectly smooth.

I need to use my Vibrant in Russia so I have to unlock it and get a russian locale.

Can I install etc. european i9000 rom (or 'firmware' is more correct?) or add russian locale to the phone? I've heard about custom roms but i own this phone only for 1 day so i don't understand all this stuff good enough.

And should I unlock the phone before i get the different rom?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doodwind:
Только для рутованного телефона

Выключи свайп (установи по умолчанию стандартную клаву андроида)

Через rootexplorer удали файлы /system/lib/libswypecore.co и /system/app/swype.apk и положи на их место файлы из архива айфолдер.ру/19308334 (ссылки постить не дает, но ты понял что делать :) )

Потом зайди в settings -> applications -> manage applications

Нажми кнопку Меню. Выбери фильтр "all". Найди в списке свайп, нажми на него и ткни на clear data.

Теперь можно будет включить русский язык в свайп.

phone must be rooted

turn off swype (set standart input method as default)

using rootexplorer replace files /system/lib/libswypecore.co and /system/app/swype.apk with files from the archive ifolder . Ru/19308334

then go to settings -> applications -> manage applications

press the menu button. Choose a filter "all". Find "swype" in a list, tap on it and click "clear data".

Now it will be possible to include russian in swype settings. I saw others languages in settings, but not test it

Does anybody know how to turn off SMS threated mode (conversation) and make it normal like in outlook (just classic view - sorting according to date)? I had android 1.5, than tried 2.2 and 2.1 but i didnt found any option for this. Thanks for help...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Why would you want to go back to the old way? It was clearly worse. One of the greatest change I had from upgrading to a Hero was the conversation mode - just incredible. Why would you want to go back to a situation where you can't see the message you're replying to?

On topic - have you tried Handcent SMS and checked the options? That app is amazing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny_morning:
thats because its sorted according to date like in Outlook. icould never use outlook with conversation mode in my work becouse it seems to me very chaotic. You only see name and number of sms, so you have to click on contact. Dont know why developers dont give us at least possibility to turn it off. i think its just a matter of small tweak or st....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
The individual threads are still sorted by date though. So you still know the latest texts over the older ones, i.e. higher the contacts name the newer the text. You don't have to even look at the older texts as they're hidden in the conversation lists but available if necessary.

As I said Handcent is the most likely program to have this feature.

It's unlikely to be a "small" tweak as it requires splitting your conversations into Inbox & Outbox as well as then having multiple messages for each contact. This is a complete overhaul of the way in which it currently sorts, sends and receives messages.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny_morning:
i dont know if you have experince with windows mobile but for disabling sms conversation i need only 50kb tweak....

Hey guys, I recently synced google calendar with my phone, which is great however now all my gmail email is coming through using the gmail app and not the stock email app which I prefer using.

Any ideas on how to change this?

i.e - would like to desable the gmail app and only use the x10 email client.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi you can go into the gmail app and set sync to never.

If you want it in the default mail app go into that and add the account in there.
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
Thanks for the reply.

In the gmail app I cant find a sync option.

My gmail account was already on the default email app previously and it is still is, its just that now mail automatically notifies using the gmail app instead of the default app.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi.. Sorry.. My mistake. You can switch the notifications off in the gmail app. The sync is driven from the data synchronisation menu, which you will still need, I think.
