[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzroman:
Long time reader, first time poster. :p

So really weird thing happened. I've installed a Launcher Pro today. Looks good etc. Phone seems to be running faster too.

But, when I've tried to connect my phone to my laptop via USB I get the following error msg on my phone: "PC connection is only available on idle screen. Close running applications. ".

I checked everything is closed through the task manager. Nothing is running and it is in the idle screen...

Suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzroman:
Solution has been found on another forum. TY anyway. :>
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazrazr:
just unable the launcher pro than everything is going to be fine and normal...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _murphy_:
Just download home switcher and revert to default launcher whenever you want to connect to pc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzroman:
Exactly what I did on someone's advice murphy. Thank you for response.

Apparently this will not be an issue with Froyo release. Fingers crossed. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nandihno:
I had a similar issue, but for me the problem was the samsung supplied USB cable. I tried with another aftermarket USB cable and it connected correctly
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enthrall:
Hi everyone,

When I try to use my phone while charging, the touch screen sometimes becomes almost unresponsive.

However, it starts running perfect as soon as I unplug it. Is this the normal scenario for most of the Galaxy S users out there?

The only application I have running at the time is LauncherPro.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smarty84:
plz anyone reply
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kuota:
I´m also looking for that kitchen

I want to delete some programs which are already integrated in the rom.

If someone have this kitchen or know where to download, please reply.

Also if someone knows how to delete programs which are already inetgrated in the rom, please reply.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dafferen:
Will it be possible to port this operative system to Desire? Just like HD2 got Android?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The difference here is Android is largely open source where as Windows Mobile is not.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathisfatal:
Not very likely - WinMo is pretty locked down as far as I know... Would be tricky getting the Desire hardware to work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howdid:
i think it will be not legal... not because Android is Open Source and Win mobile 7 not....

Cool! Thankyou so much for this, I've been wanting it for years, It's not perfect (leaving a task-bar space at the bottom), but I'm really hoping this develops!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] m0bmentality:
at the bottom? Mine leaves a tiny strip at the top.. still not perfect but i wonder why its in a different spot.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] _tangent:
Hi All,

Done a quick search on this and can't find anything relevent, but i apologise if a thread already exists.

Really a question for those in the UK on the t-mobile network. Have any of you attempted to sign up for the orange 2g roaming service yet? I signed up, recieved the confirmation text, replied to it, and received the final confirmation. However, I'm not sure it's working. The signal seems no stronger, and i still drop in my house.

Obviously i'm posting this in the android section because i'm running android myself and am wondering whether anyone in the same boat has managed to get roaming to work. Should the fact that we're on a non-official OS running off the sd card make a difference?

Oh and for completeness, i'm running shubcraft 1.5 rmnet.

Cheers fellas!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jezwick:
I'm quite happily flip flopping between Orange while at work and T-Mobile for everything else...

works like a charm for me though you do have to stick the phone into Airplane mode after selecting the different provider for the data to work ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] _tangent:
Many thanks for the reply Jezwick. So, just for clarity, you're manually selecting each provider as and when required? Because i can do that, i think. When i select orange though, whilst it registers with the network fine, i get a little "R" above the signal bar (any ideas what that means?) And the speed appears to be limited to Edge. Orange have a very strong signal round here, so i figure i should be getting GPRS really.

It's the auto-switching i'm not totally sure is working really. Is there any explicit indicator that it's flipping on it's own? Or do you just observe a generally better 2g signal, rather than say, a very weak 3g one? Round the house, my phone is still trying to make do with 1 or zero bars of 3g. I would have hoped it would flip over to orange more or less all the time under those circumstances. Nothing to stop me manually selecting it i guess though...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jezwick:
The R is indeed for roaming that's the way it works if your not on your 'own' network.. The 'flipped' service will currently only work at GRPS speeds at the moment but should be 3G by the new year :)

I have noticed mine flipping automatically but only once or twice in the last few weeks but only when I get NO signal from the current service.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] _tangent:
Understood - thanks for the info :) Just done some reading and apparently EDGE is faster than basic GPRS. For some reason, i'd always assumed the reverse. Looks like the best option is just to have it always on orange whilst at home and use wifi for data (which i do anyway to compensate for the poor signal). Cheers!
[Desire General] ascottuk:
Hi guys

I recently got hold of a Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, and i have to say im rather dissapointed.

The lag issue, which none of the lag fixes really actually stop, is so annoying, GPS not working as im one of the unfortunate people who have this issue is another annoyance

The screen is fantastic however, and the music player is aweseome with its equilizer.

However i use my phone for numerous things, media is one thing, GPS also as i dont see the need to buy a seperate sat nav when my phone "should have it",

Now i am going to wait until the official Froyo release from samsung before making any decision.

Right stop my moaning and here are my questions

i have been offered in exchange a sim Free Desire, plus a 16gb Class 6 sdcard, all boxed.

The one thing that worries me about going down the Desire route is how long is this handset gonna last.

Looking at benchmarks the i9000 creams the desire (with lag fix) in pretty much everything, i know this is down to the pretty poor Adreno 200 GPU on snapdragon as linpack shows the snapdragon FPU is better, Quadrant over 2200 currently on my SGS

in gaming terms for the future how long is this gonna last? can i expect games that are released in 6 months from now to run flawlessly? i know its hard for people to see into the future! but NEed for speed seems to run pretty much identically to my SGS, so im wondering if its all down to optimization on both chipsets

also gingerbread? a definate yes? or have HTC still not announced if Desire will be getting it

Samsung wont give any answers on this whatsoever

Also what would you guys do?

The samsung guys say "stay with it" but i want opinions from both camps

Cheers
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
You are on the same point I was a few weeks ago, well I wasn't offered in exchange by someone but the store owner offered to change it for me. Honestly, I'd say go for it. Samsung's software is crap, Desire has a lot better development community. Not to mention you get HTC Sense. Now one warning, Desire doesn't got true multi-touch, it got pinch support but thats about as far as the multi-touch goes. I tired playing Real Football 2010 with a Desire and it was a crap experience. People have reported Quadrant benchmarks of almost 1800 via OCed kernel and custom ROMs, if you really want to get down to that point but honestly it doesn't make a difference.

And HTC still hasn't announced if Desire is getting Gingerbread but there is a good chance the ROM community will be able to get it running. Plus Samsung still hasn't released Froyo, so I don't see a bright future of Gingerbread coming from them.

Now, GPS on Desire is damn good. It works as good as my 2 year old satnav if not better(It usually gets the fix better, I gave my satnav away :P).

Honestly the handset has a good life-time to last, HTC Hero is still doing pretty good so Desire should do good as well was another year or more. Even if HTC may drop the support we have people here giving new life to the device.
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
My opinion: go for it! Desire is a great phone / smartphone.

The more I use it, the better it is.

Make sure you do a hard reset when you get it...
[Desire General] ascottuk:
im seriously 50/50 on this, and now my time frame has been shortened, my mate wants to know by tomorrow otherwise he is ebaying it (mates eh!?)

Benchmarks are not the be all and end all, its bragging rights i suppose.

one thing that is seriously tipping me back to HTC is the support and community development, Samsungs own support is utterly awful, Kies is the worst piece of software i have ever ever used, and no OTA?! what the hell is that about.

As for HTC back in the day when i had my hero, ok there was delays but at least they kept people in the loop, one of my biggest annoyences is not being advised anything from samsung other than "we are working on it"

i dont hold out anyfaith that the filesystem will be sorted out with froyo, i mean it says alot when the XDA guys can fix it, but Samsung dont seem to even ackowledge the fact the software is naff!

i thought the desire had true multi touch? Does this mean playing psx4droid is a poor experiance?
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
No, it doesn't got true multi-touch. If the x1 intersects with y2 or x2 with y1 it goes haywire. It doesn't have gorilla glass either. But the community of HTC Desire is far better than Galaxy S from my experience, we don't have to use Kies or similar crap either(It was a PITA to get Kies to even recognize my phone, took me well over 4 hours and a lot of headaches), we got OTA! :P.
[Desire General] ascottuk:
Glad you share my view on Kies, i honestly have never had such issues flashing a firmware, at least with Odin it did what it says on the tin

ok well im pushing more towards the desire, i just HOPE that its as much as an enjoyable process playing PSX games on psx4droid as it is on the Galaxy S, i do alot of travelling and i spend most of that time on trains playing FF7 :)
[Desire General] ste1164:
If you want to do gaming stick with the galaxy s the desire isn't very good for that. Maybe 2.2 for the galaxy s will resolve your issues. I love the desire its a great phone but its horrible for gaming.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
it all depends how much more powerfull the new version of adreno is, obviously developers are still going to develop games for the arm cpu and adreno inparticular, imo i think our gpu will be able to play the games developed for newer versions of adreno but maybe not flawlessly .............. as far as gingerbread goes, the desire will never get it officially as htc are more intrested in supporting what will be then there current generation of devices, but as the desire and n1 are almost identical, and the n1 being googles official developer device, they are sure to get gingerbread, so we maybe we will be the first device to get working custom roms :)
[Desire General] ascottuk:
I never thought of it like that actually regarding future android updates, basically the N1 is the same hardware as the desire, just lacking a little bit of Ram i believe, so shouldnt be too difficult to port over a rom

you sir have just tipped the scales again!
[Desire General] chris2busy:
If you care about gaming stick with SGS..devs are even stopping games for desire ( see n.o.v.a) due to the multitouch bug and the the GPU isn't even remotely close to sgs's..Desire's 720p is a big pile of disappointment as well,no matter what rom you try..

other than that it is a fantastic phone...also unique feel as you hold it in your palm..its ergonomy is amazing, even ip4 doesn't sit as well in the hand as desire does..
[Desire General] ste1164:
Your right about the iPhone 4 it is a pain to hold now lol (not about the signal "issue") the edges are Sharp.
[Desire General] mr.r9:
I have a Desire & my friend has a Galaxy S.

I would say the Samsung has a better screen. However:

The Desire is a better over all device, software wise and build quality wise. Oh and it has more ram.

However, if gaming is a serious thing for you, I suggest you stay with the Samsung because they really do have the most powerful mobile GPU.
[Desire General] ascottuk:
In respects to gaming its not gaming as such, i mean angry birds beta from the market, any gpu should play that, im more bothered about PSX emulation at this point, my sgs is superb with psx4droid, where as the videos i have seen on youtube dont say the same story with desire, however these are based on the early versions of the app,
[Desire General] chris2busy:
Don't worry about that...psx4droid does not yet support hardware acceleration so all graphics are rendered from the CPU , not the GPU...so they should play it equaly well..well runs fine on my desire..and also i had an hd2 before and used fpsece which supported(and still does) hw acceleration..and run great on hd2 (has snapdragon chip, same as htc desire)..could get 40+fps on tekken 3...which is brillian (does not even run in psx4droid)..
[Desire General] ascottuk:
Also had a hd2 and it was excellent, just a pitty about winmo 6.5, do you know if there are any plans for GPU acceleration to be implemented for android?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
i think we have crappy drivers for our gpu too, the acer liquid has the same gpu but with a cpu that runs at a lower clockspeed, but apparently the 3d rendering on that device surpasses our device :mad:
[Desire General] chris2busy:
no they do not have a standard snapdragon..
[Desire General] chris2busy:
Truly no idea..the guy is taking it deadly slow..Kiss Yorkshire goodnight from me :) had a trip 3 years ago and it was the sweetest town ever..
[Desire General] soyef:
id say go for the desire, just won t3 awards phone of the year
[Desire General] AndroHero:
thats my point!! they have the same gpu running with a 768mhz cpu, and there gpu can do 3D better than ours, read this thread started about overclocking our gpu.....

[Desire General] djind:
This shouldn't be hard:

If you like gaming on your phone > Galaxy S

If you like stock Android/Sense and support and probably more updates along the way (Cyanogen) > Desire.

The gaming also means better multi touch capabilities. Desire has pinch zoom, but no real multi touch, which can get annoying when playing a game. Deal breaker should be gaming. Screen is indeed better on Galaxy S, but Desire is excellent anyway.
[Desire General] ascottuk:
Right then, after a week or so of deliberation and flashing the official froyo release on my SGS, i have made my decision

Hello Desire, i am back

Tomorrow i will recieve my desire, i ended up selling my SGS on ebay for £320, got a desire for £246, bought a 32gb SD card, Charging dock with battery space, Spare battery, a spare wall charger for work and still had spare cash!

Good deal i think

I seriously was utterly dissapointed with froyo on the SGS, the lack is exactly as it was, and after a few days with the lag fix it still slows up massively

Right, now lets get looking at some custom roms!

:D
[Desire General] blunted09:
there are four main dealbreakers for me in regards to the sgs.

1-non existent developer support

2-the lag

3-no camera flash (i remember when people crucified the iphone for this yet nothing for the sgs!)

4-samsung has proven to forget about their products quickly (if htc does the same, revert to my first point and dont apply it to the desire :) )
[Desire General] slowatsch:
Well ppl. changing from galaxy to desire proofs that Samsung failed at almost all points except hardware specs. There should be nooo absolutly no going back from a sgs to desire hardware wise.

About Gingerbread... well HTC Announced to release htcsense.com for our desire too, so it seems they still want to keept that phone up to date and alive. So maybe there is also a chance fpr gingerbread on our device, maybe in comination with the htcsense.com update?
[Desire General] ascottuk:
Samsung has by far the worst customer support i have ever encountered, innitially my handset developed a fault with the headphone jack, it went off and came back two weeks later with the same fault,

the software support is awful, i honestly can not see what froyo has brought, apart from a slightly improved linpack score (which means nothing) the lag is still awful, and im one of those people who thinks a handset should work out of the box, i shouldnt have to apply a lag fix to get it running ok

well my desire will be here today,

any advice on the quickest sense rom i should use?
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
OK so hopefully my N1 should get to me tomorrow, and I'm wanting to put a ROM on it (think its just running stock 2.2.1 ATM according to the seller).

I'm quite drawn to MIUI at the minute, because of speed and battery life, and I quite like the hybrid iphone/android look, but I have read some comments that this isn't quite an every day ROM just yet, as it has a few issues and bugs.

The other I keep reading about is CM6 but what is battery life and speed like? Is this a more complete ROM than MIUI or am I better off with the former?

Are there any good ROMs I should consider other than those - I am after something that is fast, reliable, and pretty (the pretty isn't essential but is desirable).

I know I could look for myself, but I figured that opinions from those who've tried different ROMs in anger would be very useful.
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
It really is a personal preference thing. So try them all, that's the great thing about the N1.

I didn't like miui, too iPhoney, but a very nice rom none the less.

CM6 is the rom I use, very complete and feature packed. Speed is excellent but battery life less than others. But with IntersectRaven's kernel I get pretty good battery life

Enomther rom is another good one, with really good battery life. Evil's sense ports are really good too

But really you have to try them, you will find one you like

Best of luck, and welcome to one of the best phones you will ever own

Rellikzephyr
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Crazy idea, if you're new to Android, how about using the stock ROM for a while? Even if you're not new, using the stock ROM is a good way to gauge if the phone is solid.. If you put $random_rom on it and you have problems you won't know if it's the phone, the ROM, your apps, etc..
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
I'm not totally new to android - my girlfriend has an HTC Magic with Cupcake on it, and I've briefly owned an HTC Desire (had a fault) and have had a Galaxy S for the last 4 months (which I'm getting rid of because it's unreliable).... but you do make a good point about the phone, so thanks I may do that, but I'd still like suggestions because I can't see it staying stock for long :)
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
Evil D:'s NXSense is pretty awesome!
[Nexus One General] Ebonwumon:
+1 for staying stock. Once you find something you want to do but stock won't let you, then it's time to go with custom rom.

-Sent from my Nexus One Superphone.
[Nexus One General] liqn7:
MIUI is stable and is my everyday ROM based on speed, battery life and stability. If you don't like the default iPhone looking launcher, just use LauncherPro.

Enothemer's ROM is also very nice.

I thought CM6 was the bomb but realised that Enothemer/MIUI had most of what I needed to tinker with anyways. Battery life was horrid with CM6.
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
I've yet to find anything the stock ROM can do that Evil's NXSense can't... However, NXSense will do plenty that stock won't.
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
I'm using v1.15 of Evil's NXSense ROM, and I absolutely love it! It's fairly stable and the battery life is great -- I routinely can go 48 hours with light-moderate use. I'm particularly impressed with Sense, which is so much better than I believed it could be.

The only thing I miss from stock is the unified inbox for email.
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
"Fairly" stable you say? :-s

Incidentally I've just read about the fact the power button on it WILL break, is it really that flimsy :-o I was under the impression these things were well built?

Anyway thanks for the ideas, I always thought sense on the htc desire was pretty nice, is this evil d rom better than that?

Might have to get myself swype as I'm quite used to it on the sgs now.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Please don't make it look like MIUI comes from Enom, kthx.
