[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morghus:
This has been pissing me off for quite some time. I hear Android's RAM is managed internally and that there's nothing to worry about - task killers are redundant.

I understand the logic, I understand the reasoning.

It just won't receive any of my understanding because this is frankly wasting too much time in the course of a day.

What happens due to this "internal management" is that programs I want to keep alive and return to in the state I left them isn't happening. Let's take Aldiko (or we could say the browser, pdf reader, music player, take your pick), the ebook reader; it can take up to 30 seconds to load a book, uses a lot of RAM, and opens at the page I was at.

Now imagine that I'm getting a phonecall, or an SMS, maybe even need to check the mail, or the bus-times, perhaps needing to use the browser. The RAM dips below the line and Android kills a process. 3 guesses to which process it killed to free RAM? You got it, Aldiko. The one that it took me 30 seconds to open. The one I was using, the one I actually cared about.

Checking the list of programs running I see that Aldiko's there, just not with an open book. What I also see is 987645984549 programs that I don't use, never activate, and serves absolutely no purpose on the phone, waiting for me to start them again for the second time in the phone's lifetime (which isn't happening). They're hogging RAM for some godforsaken reason, still sitting there doing nothing, not being used. Yet it killed Aldiko. Or any of the other processes I actually need, want and use.

Why does Android behave so ridiculously? How can I fix this? Installing a task killer helped somewhat, it keeps the stupid programs off so it doesn't close the ones I need all the time, yet the more frequently I run it (increasing the uptime for Aldiko), the harder it is on the battery because the programs keep popping up. Despite never being used.

Or maybe I want to use them at some point in the future, but not all the time. Not more than once a week. It doesn't matter. They shouldn't be allowed to interfere with the programs I actually use.

Is there some way for the android management to be a little less random, and a bit more like Windows Mobile, where a program stayed on as long as I wanted it to (unless there was a crash...)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
You could use Swap memory, if you REALLY want to fiddle (like what Windows/Linux/OSX does), and maybe tweak configs. It might be just possible to "swapon"

But the reason it's done is to provide quicker performance. Aldiko SHOULD be coded to remember the last book anyway, and does it REALLY take 30secs to open? That sounds like bull to me (I just tried it, and it took maybe 5 secs). Granted Aldiko could open the last book being read by default, but you could contact the aldiko developers for a setting to do that.

Either way, swap memory would be a prereq to doing this, because if you don't have enough RAM, apps will crash. So try that first
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morghus:
Hehe, yeah, it does take 30 secs. Maybe a big book or something. It was just an example. There's also the browser losing the pages it was on, music player losing place where played, pdf reader, and so on.

I'll check out out, but I'm not keen on rooting though.

Thanks for replying :-)

thnx for the link.

question: can we downgrade with hspl after this upgrade?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TheATHEiST:
Yes but I think flashing back to stock erases HSPL, so you would need to flash it back or use SSPL.

I was putting the new update on and Odin was doing its thing. it went black now I got the stupid screen of a phone pic a yellow triangle and a computer. I know my phone is hardware locked what can I do? I rooted it with the one click root but no rom was installed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Do you have adb running? You do know there was a fix for hardware locked vibrants, right?

If you have adb running & your phone can be seen by your pc it might be possible to get the sbl file pushed in to flash. Not sure it would work this way but it might be worth a shot. Not to sure what commands you would need either.

I did search and search on hardware locked and bricked phones. My first post was about all I see is the phone, yellow triangle and the computer icons. I pulled the battery hold the volume up and down both put the battery in plugged in the usb cord and It goes right to the symbols of the phone, yellow triangle and the computer. Odin does not see my phone sorry but I have studied for hours how to root and do several things to my vibrant by myself. This has me stumped and looking for help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southplatte:
I know my phone is hardware locked what can I do?

Nothing. The 3-button fix should have been applied prior to flashing anything! You need a new phone, unless somehow, magically, after searching these forums and trying the (at least) 20+ ways people claim to get into download mode work.

None have worked on mine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
im not asking if ODIN can see your phone. I was asking if ADB sees your phone...

Do you have ADB setup? if so, what happens when you type:

adb remount

If you do have adb setup and nothing happens then you are in the same boat as southplatte.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudo525:
get the samsung captivate back to download mode

I have similar problem like that. When i use Odin3 one click flash the ROM. It stuck in the middle of flash. I take off the usb cable out ,try to reboot the phone. Oop .. the screen show the sign of the phone--- yellow triangle with exclamation sign in the middle---computer icon. Can do nothing with it, because the computer now can not connect with the phone.

In my case, I take the USB off the phone but still connect with the computer. Hold the volume button + power until the phone flash in black screen .This moment happen very quick ,it will go back to the unconnected sign again. When the screen turn black just release power button but still press volume button (otherwise it not working) hook the USB back in your phone right on that moment. The Phone go back to download mode. If not work try couple time ,important is timing right on the moment the flash to black screen .

Now ,you can use the odin3 flash the ROM again. It works for me ,and i try again same situation couple times. it really works.

hopefully, this will help for who got the same problem.

Your only remaining options will be to send it to someone with a riff box (pm connexions2005 or go to mobiletechvideos.com) or do the unbrickable mod and run the unbricking app.

[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
So my little nephew loves playing NFS shift on uncle chopper's device and I found it to be pretty neat as well. But after rooting, titanium, clockwork, superuser, and voodoo it stopped working at some point and I'm not sure what step it was. It also asked to be re installed but install would fail. Trying to restore file in titanium failed as well. And copying files from dump did no good. Figured it out though.

Using root explorer delete the 2 files listed below.

/data/data/com.ea.nfss.installer

/data/data/com.ea.nfsshift

And install will work now but it will ask to buy full version again. But that was an easy call to vzw with the I don't know what happened act to get the second charge removed.

Gotta keep the kid happy.

For those of you having problems with the market, download SGS tools from the market, apply market fix, and you should be able to see your apps again.

[Vibrant Android Development] jrparker99:
There's got to be something causing the market discrepancies, but if the MD5 is the same it doesn't look like the code. Would flashing with ODIN with the pit file vs. without the pit make any difference? I believe it was common practice not to use the pit to flash the JI6 OTA.

I flashed with the pit file and the tar and I still don't see all of my apps..

flashed JFD with 512 pit and repartition checked.

then flashed JI6 with 512 pit and repartition unchecked.

i think you have to repartition or some of the old system files get left behind.

problem is if you repartition with 512 pit and ji6 the phone doesn't boot, so you have to start with JFD and repartition it and then update to ji6
