If you read here you will se many complain. But its not many that has this problem.

I do have a sgs phone without lag and gps do work.

My girlfriend did buy one yesterday. Well that has no lag either. Have nite tested hers gps yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
GPS is fixed with JPK.. it locks in less then 3sec. even got a look inside in about 5sec.. big improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishek.vij:
Problem is not the fix but the accuracy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Keep in mind, everyone is testing with beta releases. The final release might change everything..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mammenj:
To me, it looks like a software issue rather than gps hardware
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
But realistically, we have no way of knowing for sure..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuse:
GPS works like a charm on jpk here, I've been to several addresses this week already!

Lag, .. what lag? oh the occasional 1 or two second waiting for an app to open that happen once or twice the week? Not a real turn-down though =/

And within the -4 weeks of abusing jpk i had maybe twice or trice that it was very sluggish, pretty much locking up or freezing up,.. while acting normal later on.

Happy about it, but it's missing the finishing touch i had in the original rom (certain options)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jgobeil:
Thank you all for your interesting comments. Mike, your GPS tracks convinced me. I understand that not all SGS have the GPS problem but I don't want to take the chance and get a bad one. I ordered a N1, which is back-ordered for about 2 weeks - if a fix comes for the GPS before I receive the N1, I'll cancell the order to get a SGS.

i performed a hard reset too and it didnt do ****. PLEASE HELP
[General Questions and Answers] thumbzzz:
an update from me ... altho i managed to get the system up with booting from SD card, i still had that chuckydroid splash screen when booting. And then after first reset of the phone i got chuckydroid screen 'loading please wait' again and booting AGAIN stucked. So i booted again from the SD card and than i figured, as my phone ringed, that i cant hear who am i talking to. Just robo voice from the other side of the line. Ok, as im in the phone, i booted (using active sync) VBNDroid-Reloaded2Alt-21913-Oct08. it did his stuff and completed. Rebooted the phone and AGAIN there is chucky screen and AGAIN it's stucked.

it practically means that phone will boot only after 1st install. Next time i soft reset its blocked again.

What the hell should i do, how to remove that screen from blocking my phone ? Task 29 ?

update : i did task 29 ... didnt help, that chucky screen is on again after it rebooted and its still blocked.

Well i found out the other day that on eclair you can't record to mp4. So has anyone found a fix?

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus General] m4nu4l:
Yes ! Thats what i hate about eclair, video recordings quality have reduced like 5times... only becouse this .3gp format. Was looking for a fix week ago, but havent found anything... :/

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mpasanthosh:
hi,

I deleted pc companion and the user guide from my memory card during a format..

Pls help me to get them back..

And the install PC companion when USB is plugged doesnt work now.

could any one please upload the pc companion on the SD card along with the user guide..?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] eddi666:
In the X10 you have:

-SEMC File Storage (microSD)

-SEMC Mass storage (~13-15MB)

I change my card from 8gb to 16gb with no copy of this and PC Companion its working for me. Maybe its something wrong with your usb or PC. In the Mass Storage you have PC Companion. In the first connection of your X10 to PC the PC Companion its installing. Click double on the Sony Ericsson PC Companion drive in your "My Computer" and application will start.

[Fascinate Android Development] aecky01:
I just got done installing voodoo, and everything went very smoothly. 1735 quadrant score, and it fixed the lag I got when adding an application shortcut on the home screen. However when I went into contacts I noticed that all of my facebook contacts were missing. I thought no problem, I'll resync my facebook account. However, when I go into accounts and sync then add account all the integrated contact accounts are missing. I see the heading that says integrated contacts accounts, but nothing is listed underneath.

Under more accounts I can add a corporate or google, but if I click facebook it highlights but doesn't launch. I uninstalled voodoo without a problem, went into CWM and restored my backup I made right before voodoo. I still can't access the add facebook account.

Any ideas? I liked sync profile pictures, and checking updates in contacts.
[Fascinate Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
That's weird man. Look in your system files to see if the social hub apk is still there. If so clear the data in settings-applications-manage applications.
[Fascinate Android Development] pinecone:
I found I had to do a Factory data reset on my phone when I had a similar problem. I screwed up and had to return to stock and when I did, the facebook account friends would not sync up right. Did the factory reset from the Privacy menu and it's been working great since.
[Fascinate Android Development] aecky01:
I think I figured out my problem. I moved back even further in my backups, and got one that still had facebook sync'd. I search through my system folder and noticed SNSaccount.apk was in the app folder. In the how to root, install cwm, remove bloat... thread it mentions that this file is ok to freeze. Well instead of freezing bloatware apps in titanium, I used root explorer to move them to a junk folder on the SD card.

That seemed to fix the issue. I reinstalled voodoo no problem, and facebook sync was fine. I alerted the OP in the sticky thread to mention that this issue might occur if the SNSaccount file is moved.
[Fascinate Android Development] Aganomix:
That worked! Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkanius:
Does anyone know how to enter the Car Home / Dock mode?

I'm asking because I want to enter those modes whenever I connect my USB cable to the Phone automatically

I heard they are activated automatically whenever docked with the Samsung docks, so the software is there, and they must be activated somehow
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:
The Samsung docks have a built in Micro USB charger. This is wired slightly differently to normal USB leads etc. (apparently there is a spare pin they use) and this triggers the car or multimedia dock modes. AFAIAA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkanius:
Curiously, I searched around a bit, and when you buy those docks, the manual says you have to get the applications from the Market, however the International i9000 version has no access to them, only the NA variants.

I got those applications and they work fine (Except Desk Mode which crashes with 2.2 but works fine in 2.1)

Apparently the MicroUSB extra pin is only to keep the screen on at all times

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TML1504:
contacts DB has been screwed up.

had this a few days before because a sudden energy loss while charging and

the system was accessing this file (due to an sync-update)...

only way to fix this is to delete the contacts db (hope you have a backup or you

synced with google or exchange)!

fix:

goto settings, applications, manage applications, all

then search "contacts storage", click on it, then choose "clear data".

after that the contact storage should work again, allthough you lost all data

in it...

hope this helps!

Can anyone help me?

After flashing Defrost, my 3G only work with it. I can't explain why.

I did full wipe every time every time I flashed the new rom.

wipe data >>> wipe cache >>> wipe dalvik

My radio build is 5.11.05.14.

Can anyone tell me why or what to do to fix this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjm1979:
Is be surprised if its rom related. I've had no bother on any rom. On sense roms you can set it to 3G only. Have you tried that to see if it works at all? X
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kai84m:
Have you already tried the updated RILs

But 3G normally should work with the "standard" RIL's.

On Leedroid 2.2a I dont need the RIL update, everything is working including a fast GPS fix.

Give the RIL update a shot!

[Vibrant General] m4r10:
So I have read that you need to use your stock TW launcher to run the update through KIES mini. Does this mean that I have to uninstall launcher pro or simply switch to TW using hone switcher? My launcher pro home screens are highly customized and it would be a pain in the ass to start over. Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
When I apply the update I was using launcher pro in a stock phone, updated without any problems:)
[Vibrant General] sbrmonkey:
You do not need to uninstall Launcher Pro, Just disable the Defaults under Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-LauncherPro & Clear defaults. Then Go into USB Settings, Select Kies. & Finally Go to Development and Check USB Debugging Mode. I can confirm this works on MS64Bit. Just run Kies Mini as Administrator to ensure no problems.. Now you have GPS fix.
[Vibrant General] m4r10:
This is just what I wanted to hear. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] j56bp:
thats total BS............cuz u can't set both debugging w/kies !!!!
[Vibrant General] mainevent3405:
True. Selecting Kies will automatically remove the check in debugging. It is not possible to use both.
[Vibrant General] m4r10:
Done. No sweat. :cool:
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
Yes you can...

It has to be Kies 1st then Debug and it will work.

Good thing the OP didn't listen to either of you. GJ on the fix op!
[Vibrant General] neok44:
i see a lot of people complaining about lag on the vibrant, my dad has one and i'm planning on getting one to replace my N1 as a normal useage phone (mostly because i'm stick of waiting 6 months for cyanogen updates now)

Anyway, i've noticed pretty much no lag on my dads vibrant for the last month or so. it sometimes takes a few seconds to load some of the default apps like dialer, contacts or messaging, but once your in there it's smooth as can be. Sims 3 is running amazingly smooth, and i can jump around avatar with pretty much no lag at all. and this is on a stock, unrooted, vibrant.

So i'm just wondering, so many people are complaining about the lag but i see none.

also downloading the update to my dads phone now so i'm curious to see how that will play into this.

*edit* oh and one thing i want to add, the 3d gallery, launcherpro, and any game is easilly running with a 2-3x faster framerate than my Cm6 N1. Honestly my dads phone makes my N1 look like a G1.
[Vibrant General] funkyfungus:
I've had the Vibrant since it's debut. I have an Exchange server at work and noticed horrible lag in the default email app and even worse in Touchdown. Tried RyanZA's v1 lagfix and was blown away at the speed difference. Now I have the JI6 update and the lag was better, but with the OCLF v2.1 applied my phone is so fast, it's stupid. If you don't think you have lag - try a lagfix and you'll see.

fF
[Vibrant General] jeffeb3:
My wife and I both have the vibrant. Hers is slow, and mine is not. I have no idea what the difference is because, although hers is stock and nine is not, the lag was not a problem for me even when mine was stock.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
It's because she is a woman and women don't know how to use phones. LOL. JK! (Sorta)
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
^^^ eff yourself
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Geez, calm down. Ever heard of a joke?
[Vibrant General] atlaswingpasaway:
Where did you buy the phones though? Sometimes there are significant hard and software differences of each unit. For example, my first vibrant cant overclock, and it was hardware locked. This new one i have can do both flawlessly.
[Vibrant General] Gr8gorilla:
IMHO, and I own both a Vibrant and a G2, I did the same thing you are thinking about doing and I sold my N1 in the process. I kicked myself on a daily basis until I broke down and bought a G2.

The lack of a camera flash, non-working GPS, lag, 2.1 instead of 2.2, and a few other issues far outweighed the beauty of the screen for me. Don't get me wrong, the screen is F*#%ing AWESOME on the Vibrant. Its just that I found I couldn't live without a reliable gps, flash, (Adobe Flash is nice too), and the lag is annoying.

This is all my opinion of course, and to each his own. I recommend that if you get a vibrant you keep your N1 till you are sure you want the Vibrant. Personally I just sent my Vibrant back for the 3rd time, Including the original one that I bought, I will have my 5th Vibrant come tomorrow, I am ready to be rid of it but there is no resale value. Brand new in the box from Craigslist they sell for as little as $275. That is because of the BOGO and all the super deals on them right now.

Just my .02!
[Vibrant General] Trev420:
Didnt read anyother replies. But I'm just going to recommend going to the development section and just download a bionix rom. Its the fastest thing on this phone as far as roms imo. Voodoo makes this phone fly even faster but the stock 1.8 rom is still really smooth without it.

People who complain about lag should spend 2 hours reading various guides and getting firmiluar with that device in your hand.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
What do you need a flash for? Have you ever tried night mode with auto contrast on? Pretty awesome results unless you are trying to take pictures in pitch black.

And JI6 fixes both the lag and the GPS issues. If that isn't enough for you, bionix has done a wonderful job with his rom. Seriously, everything you are saying has either been fixed by JI6 or a dev.
[Vibrant General] Gr8gorilla:
My phone was running Frankin Wiz with Voodoo Lag fix, My gps still sucked. The gps tracks jump all over the place no matter what I do.

I am talking strictly of the out of the box experience between the two devices.

My question to you as a consumer, not a power user or hacker, or moder or anything like that, just an average everyday consumer is this: Do you feel like after spending $500 (out of contract) on a "smart phone", that you should then have to spend several hours of your time learning how to install third party firmware and hacks on your device, just so that you can get the functionality that was advertised?

If you bought a brand new car from a dealership and found out that you had to replace the transmission and pay for custom engine modifications for it to run right, would you say to your friends, "Well the car has some problems but you can fix them by getting a new transmission and having the engine overhauled, I think you should buy one." HELL NO, you would say that the car is a POS and you would return it and get one that worked right and you would tell everyone.

Why are you defending a product that is flawed? I own the phone, I paid $500 for it. I think that it is not what I hoped it would be. I like to mod my phone, I shouldn't have to mod my phone. Does that make sense?

Just like I wouldn't recommend a flawed vehicle, I will not recommend a flawed phone. Simple as that.

Now let the arguing and flaming begin!
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
I see your point, but the point is that Samsung has addressed the issues. Cars are not perfect and have to have things corrected with them also. Ever heard of a recall or factory defect?

Seriously, JI6 is a Godsend. I was running that STOCK with no modifications for a few days and then decided to try the newest version of Bionix. It wasn't because anything was wrong, I just wanted something different. I just put that on my phone TODAY. Again, I was running STOCK JI6 and the phone was perfect. I didn't even install a lagfix. When I was on JFD, there was unbearable lag, JI6 none.

I tried Eugene's rom in the past and nothing against the rom, it wasn't for me.

I just think you need to do your research more. I can see you are frustrated but like I said, you could have a fully functional phone without any modifications with the newest update. Then if you choose to, and only if you chose to, you could install a different rom.
[Vibrant General] Gr8gorilla:
I am actually not frustrated at all. You see I have exchanged my Vibrant 3 times for Warranty. I will be trading it in on a MyTouch next month. I am so fed up with my samsung experience that I will probably never buy another phone from them. I may give the TAB a shot, but if it sux like the phone it will go back before the 14 days is up.

I have had my Samsung since July. I wanted to love the phone, but overall I am really disappointed. I am going back to HTC.
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
Have you tried flashing a Bionix rom? No lag issues. Gps is fixed. Night and day difference compared to the stock rom.

If not, the G2 and Mytouch HD are very good alternatives.
[Vibrant General] patriot1973:
Could there be some "bad" batches running around that suffer from this lag? Sort of like the harware locked phones... my first Vibrant was HW locked and I exchanged it and ended up with a non-HW locked phone.

On both phones, neither had any level of perceptible lag. Is it that bad that it's affecting everyday useage? Or are people possibly being a bit too nit-picky because their app launched in .001 seconds instead of .00001? I've heard people say their Vibrant lags hard while using Touchdown. I use Touchdown many, many times during the day for my work. Never once has it lagged on me. I'm coming from a MT3G, which was the king of lag so I should know about that.

I go hiking, camping and off-highway driving a couple of times a month so I depend on GPS to be working because I like to chart my trips and set waypoints for future use. I understand the Vibrant has an issue with that right now, but I'm patient enough to wait for the fix. If not, I can just use my Garmin handheld that has been relegated to the drawer which is more of a correct TOOL to use for that sort of thing anyway. It's certainly NOT a deal-breaker for me. Maybe I'm more patient than others.

No flash on the camera? Well, I knew about that BEFORE I bought it, so I have nothing to complain about there. Why would someone complain that it doesn't have a flash and they bought it anyway? Seems absurd. Were you misled somehow? I don't think so. No valid argument there.

No 2.2 yet? Big deal. The phone works. Not like you're running 1.5 with no future plan in sight. If you were, then you'd really have something to cry about.

I think some people are making a bunch of hay over very little things that can be remedied.

Guess I just got "lucky" with my phone, or maybe I'm just not a pain in the ass. I'd hate to be known by TMO employees as "Mr. *****MoanAndComplain", even when they've given me 5 phones already.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
The lag issue depends heavily upon how you use the phone. I found certain applications more likely to lag than others, write intensive applications.

I switched to using Google Finance in the web browser from the "official" Finance application due to the heavy lag incurred whenever the app did a background sync. The same for some other apps like Touiteur or Mint.com's app. With JI6 the lag has improved, but it's still not "there" yet for my tastes. I still see a slowdown when K9 is running a background sync... and don't get me started on how slow the phone becomes when using the Facebook application (again, I end up using touch.facebook.com instead since it's faster for me).

My preference is for a multi-tasking phone to actually multi-task, and I also prefer applications to locally cache as much as possible. Unlike most applications where a local cache should provide a desired speed up, the usage of RFS is just as likely to generate a slowdown, counterintuitive really.
