[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AcEo:
Hello guys, after searching for a similar thread on a forum I came to conclusion that nobody had this problem with Xperia X1.

Well a few days ago I connected my phone with my friends laptop and "uploaded" like a million viruses, I have cleaned my phone but there is a problem.

All folders in Storage card are there,my music,pics..everything...but when I connect my phone via USB to PC the Storage card is empty..its the wierdest thing:(

Its like they are hidden somehow.

only one .menc file can be seen

---> EncFiltLog.menc

and he is 2Kb in size

Please help.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpercaso:
The File "EncFiltLog.menc" create your PC, if you connect via Disk Drive.

nothing important, you can delete it.

Perhaps you have accidentally deleted them or moved to the pc!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Markino:
Hi guys,

I'd like to show the SD of my Wildfire in the Windows explorer of my office pc, and in my Mac, just a pendrive via WiFi and/or bluetooth... is thera a way?

When I've got my old Nokia E52 I really like the feature that I had using bluetooth: when I'm in the office just turn on the bluetooth and I can browse my phone, send/receive sms ecc...

Why I can't do it with Android? :(

I can't find a service that run in backgroud in order to jest turn the bluettoth on and the Wildfire is connected as a pendrive in my Windows explorer.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdsport323:
This might be a dumb question, but, on the G2, how do you wake the phone up from standby without actually opening the keyboard?

With the G1, all I had to do was press the Menu button, but that doesnt work on the G2. So far, the only way to wake up the G2 is by flipping the keyboard open, or hitting the power switch.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
I don't own the phone but played with one in store yesterday. There is a power button on the top of the phone, this brings it out of standby. I kind of hoped a push of the trackpad would also but it does not.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weber09:
It really bothers me coming from the Nexus that they swaped sides of the headphone jack and power/sleep button. On most all of HTC's other phones the pow/sleep button is on the top left, perfect for my (smallish) right hand pointer finger. Now that they swapped it to the top right, my world is falling apart...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
Hahaha, yeah I'm having the same problem!

I'm so accustomed to having the power button on the left that this phone is completely throwing me off!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
I've been experiencing the same issue and wondering the same thing...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einride:
There seems to be several things causing this, but the two key issues are:

The moviNAND (the internal flash drive/"SSD") firmware seems to have an issue with fsync() taking extremely long. E.g., it slows down whenever a file is written/updated on the internal storage.

RFS, the file system used by Samsung is buggy as hell and corrupts data after a while.

There are several topics on these issues in the Android Development forum. There are also several "lag fixes" trying their best to overcome these issues. Go check them out :)

AFAIK this topic and its responses are for the OP
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMReuffurth:
I have about 190 Apps installed and do not experience any diferene in overall speed of the phone. But only because i know that a lot of the programms start on boot and stay in background.

I have more than 15 apps turned off with the full version of autorun killer to prevent the auto restart of the apps. Otherwise the phone would definetaly slow down.

It´s really incredible what apps start on the boot!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Do you need to be rooted ti use all of the functions in autorun killer? I am not rooted.

Can you compile a breif list of the "biggest culprits" to stop with this utility to gain back the most speed and efficiency? I am a bit nervous that I will stop the wrong items and somehow damage my phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
Autokiller and task killers are not the solution here! Quick lesson on Android, and why having even A SINGLE BAD APP is going to ruin your whole phone!

Android has something called an 'Intent'. In order to start an app, an intent is made by your launcher or a button you press, and the Android system reads this intent and works out what app it needs to start up.

There is a second type of intent though, called a 'Broadcast Intent'. This is an intent that is sent out to anything that is registered to listen to it. This means that an app can register to listen to all sorts of events, such as battery level changed, application start, or a tons of other things. Even if the application is closed, if it is registered as a listener, Android will start it right back up so it can deal with the intent. If the intent comes every 5 seconds, Android will run this app every 5 seconds even if you have a taskkiller killing the app.

The only real solution is to not install apps which are bad! Finding bad apps is a real mission, too. Hopefully in the future, utilities will be available to let us track down these terrible apps, but till then, you'll have to work it out yourself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMReuffurth:
No need for Root to use all features of Autorun Killer. I would disable only the apps you know and which you do not need at startup and running in background, such as (in my case) Paypal, App Center from Androidpit, Daily Briefing, Photoshop Express, Word Press, TweetCaster, etc.

Every of these apps works normal, even when deactivatet on startup.

So unless you do not disable system apps (must be previously set enabled in settings) you are safe.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samga:
Is there any possibility/app to show what is registered for which app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandoonut:
watching the apps

There is an app called Autostarts at 0.95$.

It shows what is launched au startup, when you enable/disable wifi etc.

It think it gives insight on how apps seems launching out of nowhere.

I also reccomend Watchdog Task Manager Lite, the free version.

It does not kill anything, but notifies and logs the bad apps that consumes over a certain CPU percentage.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daml:
You are wrong. This happens to many of us and thus the need for a lag fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaliKot:
just like how the skype app ****s up my phone and then I have to restart.

ugh
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
In some ways it will slow the phone down (launcherpro must build the apps list for instance).. But it could also be because more apps are running
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasra:
Based on my own testing, I'd say that RyanZA and AllGamer are correct.

We need to use an autorun killer to kill background processes that we cannot disable otherwise. Some programs that run no widgets and do no background updating, still want to start their useless (?) background processes. That takes up precious memory.

However, as RyanZA said, as long as there are crappy software, and as long as it's very hard to profile/identify them, we'd also need an Intent AutoKiller. That would enable us to turn off broadcast intent hooks installed by 3rd party applications.

That is sorely needed.

I also now install software quite sparingly. One at a time, use for a couple of days, then install another.

It's the only way *for me* to find the offending apps easily and uinstall them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borchgrevink:
But why then, does exactly the same apps installed on another hardware wise wors phone not lag?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
it's a combination of issues, what was said above plus the SGS file system

if you leave it unattented both issues will just expotentially make things worse

there is nothing we can do about the crappy file system

but we can manage the Memory and System resources as we like.

solving the system issue makes the filesystem issue less evident killing the and preventing apps from starting automatically you have less apps keeping files open in the system file and memory
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmulligan:
Will any of the management apps point out which intents result in high resource use? Disabling listeners blindly is silly but if we know which intents to scrutinize then we can narrow down the offender very quickly and even submit bug reports to the developers of the offending app. I am sure that she would appreciate knowing that there is a problem.

Android is so sadly lacking a profiler!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i'm not much into that, as my personal goal is to free up RAM to have a quick phone, just as i did with all previous old phone Palm, WM, etc

using Task Managers, i can see a lot of iddle apps loaded in memory but not active, and also the active ones

it's definitely no problem to leave the active ones running, as those are the apps i'm currently running.

all apps that i closed, and are not being used in my Multitasking session, should be CLOSED completely, not with lingering left over hooks in RAM

if i leave all the junk in RAM, have less than 40 MB (38.xx) free to use and it LAGS if i kill all the crap out, and only run what should correctly be running my memory is back up to 130+ Mb (128.xx), and the phone is flying in the Stock ROM

I don't know why people claims that is the "norm" for Android to keep junk hogging the memory when the app is no longer active, and is not even an app that have timed hook or something

for Calendar or Reminder, or Alarms I'll understand, but for example say an Ebook??? why the *beeep* will i want an Ebook app left hooked on RAM when i selected to closed it?

the memory results shows it's crystal clear all the resources that have been wasted by leaving dormant apps in RAM

since the app is sort of still "open" in the system the file system might have some funky wait or check as well (my own speculation) which might contribute to the file-system lag as explained by the other guys that are more familiar with it.

just for reference, when i Run Apps in Linux in my PC / Laptop and i CLOSE the App, the apps is GONE from memory, it's not lingering around, the memory is returned full to the OS

so from y point of view the way how Android keeps Apps hook in memory to "cache" speed up the next loading time is a waste

the phone is so fast, loading an app from scratch off the SD takes virtually no time, is less than a second

i always kill all the apps that i don't use, except for the few that are in my ignore list.

I have over 250 apps/games and no noticeable difference. Using voodoo lagfix 3.0. I am also not using task killer.

I found that using task killer actually increases lag and reduces battery esp. killing apps which will always be restarted. Most background apps are usually doing nothing and does not affect anything. We just need to becareful of apps which consume cpu in the background. This you can easily check with Samsung task mgr widget (i.e. if you get "red" background then something is working hard in the background).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:
That's an interesting thought... I'll uninstall the Samsung Task Manager, and see how the phone performs for a couple of days. Thanks! :-)

LED Light by picolyl (in the market) was also fixed last month to work with the EVO.

It's a sense-style switchable widget for the flash.

Doesnt seem to be as bright as Torch though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] twilk73:
Led Desire light is just as bright as tourch but I dont think you can get it for the Evo anymore.

Either way just download the rom open it up on your computer click system, then app then select the app you want and drag it to your desktop. Next transfer it from your desktop to your phone and then just install it on your phone. Someone else did mention a similar method above I just wanted to get into a little more detail. I think if the rom is zipped you have to unzip it to your desktop. I think if you pull the app out while the folder is zipped it gets corupt. Not totaly sure though.

Hi there!

I have been having a very annoying issue, lately: every time I reboot my SGS, it looses some of its settings (as far as I have noticed, the settings that are gone are the following:

- Locale (from Portuguese to English)

- Time zone settings (from manual settings to auto)

- Bluetooth paired devices (all gone, once I boot)

I was under the impression that Kies looked for branding on the phones present firmware and then retrieved/installed the matching one from the Samsung server. However. At least one person has stated that though their phone was unbranded/sim free that they have had a Vodafone 2.1 update (they were using the VF network at the time) that has effectively branded their phone and placed all the bloatware that comes with VF as well. How can this happen? Does it read the sim for network operator and do it from there?

it has nothing to do wth the branding

it's the model ID that it looks for and the previous ROM
