[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatmold:
My wife recently got a Galaxy S (I9000) and is far far from happy with it....

We tried the OneClickLagFix (improved lag, but still slow accessing the database), then moved onto Voodoo (improves lag significantly).

After this the part that seemed to be slowing the phone down was TouchWiz, so we swapped for LauncherProPlus (big improvement). Anything "Saumsung'd" on the phone is slow (dialer, contacts app, system menus (eg reboot, silent).

My question is ... Is this acceptable to have a 1Ghz phone that is slow, and needs multiple fixes and replacements? I personally have the HTC Desire, although not perfect (small internal memory) it out performs the Galaxy S (stock).

Has anyone gone back to T-Mobile, Vodafone etc and asked for a replacement?

Tony
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
If it still slow it must be something wrong with it.

What firmware do you use?

My phone is fast and i have no lag.

I use jpk firmware and have the latest oclf.

My girlfriend will buy a sgs also.

She like it more then my iphone and hers phone got stole yesterday.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatmold:
That is encouraging.. thanks

She is still on Stock 2.1, not ventured into the leaked ROMs yet.

Can I ask which Lag Fix you're using? My understanding is that the Voodoo lagfix cannot con-exist with Clockwork Recovery?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
I use ryanza oclf.

I use jpk firmware.

I did upgrading first from stock to jm1. Only that was an improvement.

Im waiting also for the real froyo, but jpk firmware working fine for me.

I do plan to use an other lagfix that is in development. I think that will be something sweat for this phone.

Come in discuss what rom and radio you are using and how is the 3G connection.

Maybe we can help each other find the best radio for Starhub!

Reception's not bad, mostly at full bar. For surfing is quite ok, can see facebook photos, youtube videos. Not exatly fast, but tolerable.
[Desire General] ShiDi:
Maybe starhub is not giving enough love to android users but mostly to iPhone users. Hehehe.. 3G connection on hero & desire can totally suck balls!

Android runs very well on my HD2. Occasionally there is an error that says; "SD Card Damaged You may have to format it"

Android run fine even this.

Anyone experienced this? what is the issue and how can I fix it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadey3:
I formatted mine via windows formating tool ie i unchecked quick format.. and it worked for me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] finesse:
I have formatted many times but problem happens frequently
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fig_jam_uk:
Maybe your card is failing and its just a warning that you may have problems, or if you format it, as mentioned above format it to 32kb clusters and dont do a quick format.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mstrk242:
This can also be caused by a damaged mbr. If you have a linux box, just delete the entire partition, re-create, and format. In windows, you need a tool to do it. (One of the other threads had a sd card formatting tool, try that. (Sorry dont' remember the thread.)

my question is what can happen if i'm installing the original version during it it restart??

how long does it take to do that??? is a difficult process?
[Desire General] ste1164:
It's a fairly easy process you may as well give it a shot. Download HTC sync to your computer. Look in the dev section of the desire forums. Find the right RUU for your phone and download it. When HTC sync and your phone is connected run the RUU
[Desire General] okan22:
thanks for the reply

the problem is that i don't know when he wants to restart maybe i've got some hours or maybe i've got 10 seconds

you don't know what can happen if during the installation it start restarting ??

I thought that you just want to revert to the stock ROM, not to unroot it? If that's the case, here is the list of official Desire ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667. I don't think that there will be problems with Vista, or with device restarting occasionally, but I suggest you to find the right thread in Android Development subforum, read guides carefully and then ask questions in the proper thread. I'm still no expert in flashing Android phones, so unfortunately can't help you on this matter.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anubis:
I have tried every possible way to root my HTC magic 32a and gain access to the recovery console.

Now my phone says that it is alreay rooted. But, when I access the recovery by holding home and power buttons, I can go to the screen with the green text, but after like 3 or 4 seconds it disappear and phone restart.

Any idea about that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Maybe you flashed the wrong recovery? What radio/spl are you running and what recovery did you flash.

BTW, wrong section, this belongs in General.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anubis:

[Legend General] im_iceman:
My wife had this problem too. Turned out that I hadn't set it up properly when I set up the phone. I hasn't asked it to use google, selected phone instead, so wasn't syncing. Had to factory reset it and start again..
[Legend General] oysteivi:
What I did was export the phone contacts to a file (csv, I think), and use a web browser (on my computer) to import that into gmail contacts. ..or something very close to that.. it's been a few months :)

Watch out for that, I did it, opened it in excel to make some edits, and did not notice that it modied my numbers without telling me.

Removed all the + signs (obviously)

changed some to scientific notation!
[Legend General] oysteivi:
Hehe, good thing I didn't try editing it.:D

I guess the lesson learned is that if we want to edit that csv-file, use Notepad or something similar. (it's a plain text format, after all)

K I've seen this on the HTC hd2 its pretty cool was wondering if possible to get this on the hero it would be great if someone could step it up a notch
[Hero CDMA Android Development] HeroMeng:
Chances are.... no. The HD2 is a completely different OS (WinMo) and the HD2's version of sense is completely different from the Hero's version. In order to get that theme onto the hero, someone would have to build it from the ground up. Also, Android Dev section is only for serious roms/kernels/whathaveyou flashables. Post questions in QnA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
to be honest with you guys.

i have no idea what the heck is the difference betwenn the two.

especially all the builds.

are there something different with each build?

can someone out there explain to me?

sorry,i've tried searching it up but nothing.

if there isn't something different about each build for the cyanonogenmod nightly

then why do they have soo many builds?

i mean why keep the only builds there.

you know everyone wants the recent update.

to fix the bugs or what not.

but if i can get some really good explanation on this,it would be really night.

thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney05:
the nightlys are beta versions, so they can be buggy.

6.0 is a stable version which is solid and has no bugs

btw this topic should be in general or something, some people around here get upset easily for posting in the dev section.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougie2187:
You could read the changelog. It has the added features since 6.0 listed (called 6.1). 6.1 isn't released yet, but when it is the nightlies will be changed into 6.1.

Nightly just means they rebuild the rom every night and allow people to download it to install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sporkman:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Quick summary:

Final builds: Relatively stable, tested, and at the point that Team Douche is comfortable with how it handles.

Nightly builds: Compiled every night at 00:00 GMT directly from the github source. Has all the latest features (like the nightlies currently have a newer kernel and some nice camera features) but can be quite unstable and typically aren't recommended for day-to-day use.

I would Edit your Title for this thread..

please Remove [ROM] as it signifies this is a ROM thread and this is, of course, not..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myndwire:
The CyanogenMod development process produces nightly builds automagically for bleeding-edge users. Here's sort of how the process works generally:

1. Bugs/feature requests/etc are submitted to Google Code:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/

2. Items are then transported to Gerrit for code review once a solution is written / being worked on:

http://http://review.cyanogenmod.com

3. Once tested/approved, commits happen to GitHub, which is announced via cmsrc on Twitter:

http://github.com/CyanogenMod/

http://twitter.com/cmsrc

4. Nightly builds happen automatically via BuiltBot with all commits from GitHub (even if they break stuff, so these nightlys aren't for the uber-novice). You can watch nightly builds happen, which are typically around 9pm EST unless kicked off manually:

http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/waterfall

5. Downloads available nightly here (by build number):

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/

And that's pretty much it. You can keep a close eye on Cyanogen's personal Twitter (twitter.com/cyanogen) and even converse with him and some of TeamDouche as well on IRC via FreeNode, in #cyanogenmod. They're great guys and very open to the future of CM. I've known Cyanogen for years and he's a great, fun guy with a brilliant mind and a passion for open source.

Anyway, I hope this clears up the CM nightly process for those who don't really grasp it yet. There may be a few diversions from the process, but generally that's how it works, and is a great way to keep very close track of what's happening when. Understanding is the key to NOT asking 'when will this be done?' or 'where's the changelog!?', etc.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coastal:
do the current nightlies, or the future 6.1 release, require the engineering bootloader 0.76?

i did unrevoked3 and ended up with 0.79 of course. i've been playing with many roms but not yet CM6 due to this restriction ... the ENG bootloader thread reads like a cautionary tale, there doesn't seem to be any understanding of why some phones play well with the update and others don't.

i'm sure there's a very good reason, but i don't understand the need for 0.76 for only CM6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myndwire:
As far as the CM code, *any* bootloader version is permitted as of a commit last week. This shouldn't be an issue anymore on nightlies, but likely will be in CM6.0.0.

I have try to use touchpal and finger kb , it can't assign a hard key to awake the program, just spb keyboard can do it.

Any idea to increase the sensitivity of the spb keyboard??

What did the trick to me was:

1. Updating QuickGPS, on WinMO;

2. Installing GPS Status and downloading assistance data:

::: Settings&Configuration : GPS&Sensors: Manage AGPS data.

I am getting consistently fast locks now :D But what made the difference this time was updating QuickGPS on WinMo... Check my sig for details on my setup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hebbe:
i think updating quickgps in winmo is useless for android. if this would help, it would mean that winmo and android access/have/share the same storage on the device for storing satellite data. winmo would store this in nand... :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] luigipirex:
It certainly isn't useless, as many users have reported this as a solution. For me, it was the solution that definitely worked. I've tried every other method, including editing gps.conf file, using GPS status, etc, and the results weren't consistent. But after I updated my QuickGPS on WinMo, I have been getting consistent results, every time I try, as short as 5 seconds to get me a lock.

As you should know, some settings in WinMo still affect your hardware in Android: e.g., look at the "calibrate g-sensor in WinMo" recommendation. I think this is also the case with GPS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fstluxe:
But! what you can do in wimo is also possible in Android: getting AGPS... with GPS status..

so getting Agps information is not the problem here..

Possibility's

The radio ? with some radios with my winmo devices it took 5 minuts to get 6 satelites and with other radios (like blackstone 13.32.24xxx) it took 10 seconds to get 11 satelites .. in 10 seconds..

So I really think its Radio related..

Or the gps sensor isn't working 100% correctly..

Shouldn't we test some radio's for best gps performance.,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] justwonder:
What is radio blackstone 13.32.24xxx??? never heard of it before.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Noam23:
Worked for me, thanks !! (it now locks in less than 10 sec, in comparison to several minutes before updating quickgps in Winmo).

The problem with some people in this forum is that they have to be smart ass, they will argue with you that there is no logic in your fix, even though it works. Too bad for them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] luigipirex:
I've tried different radios and that didn't to absolutely anything to the GPS performance on Android. QuickGPS, on the other hand, gave me results. Even just using GPS Status didn't do anything for me.

By the way, A-GPS and QuickGPS assistance data are different things. QuickGPS can be useful to you even if you don't any signal when you are using GPS on your handset (if, of course, you have downloaded before your assistance data and it's up-to-date). To use A-GPS, you need to have signal...

Why don't your try this solution and see for yourself? You just have to update QuickGPS on WinMo. If you are using a light WinMo ROM, with no QuickGPS, try a regular stock or cooked ROM. The latest ChuckyDroid is a lite version, but has QuickGPS, though.

Try it, and then tell us if it worked for you.

I am very glad it worked for you! I was doubtful when I first read this solution... but it does work wonders! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hebbe:
some settings in winmo affect your hardware in android 'cause winmo is used to initialize the hardware, so that it has a certain state when booting android. this is due to the fact that our android drivers cannot initialize hardware (yet), so winmo is needed.

why should starting quickgps in winmo help in android? as far as i know all that quickgps does is downloading satellite position information to help the gps driver to fasten up the calculation of the current position in case of a cold fix.

if this would help in android, it would mean that the satellite data is some kind of stored *inside* the gps chip. otherwise andoid wouldn't be able to access the position data (orbit) of the satellites.

or am i completely wrong? if so, please help me and correct it...i'm just curious :):)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Noam23:
This is correct. The satellite data is stored

inside the GPS chip

(this is written in the help file of the "GPS status" app).

It could be that because the android drivers are lacking in the HD2, we can only read from the GPS but not write (this is why updating the satellites work from WinMo but not from Android. because android can't write to the GPS chip).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hebbe:
thanks for your reply!:)

ok, then some kind of "quickgps" for android would help too...

so winmo is not necessary/needed for gps to work properly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fstluxe:
Thats a Good Point!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JonSolo:
Holy Cow it worked! I mean it works!

Who can argue with that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
Sat data is input to gps chip. And the data is usually good for 7 days.

So if you use quickgps in winmo to update sat data, it will also make gps fast in android too at least a week.

gps status app in android also has the ability to download sat data, but quickgps in winmo seems better.

DON'T THINK ABOUT LOGIC. JUST TRY IT. IF you now a place where winmo gps works very fast, get a gps lock under winmo and then boot android. You will see that Android now gets a lock in seconds too.

Most people have problems with gps because their gps.conf file is empty, or they are not "really" in open air.

Gps will get a fix more difficult:

- If the weather is cloudy

- If there are buildings near you

- If you are actually inside a building

- If you are in a vehicle and vehicle is moving fast.

- If you don't have the assistance data in your gps chip.

- If you force your gps chip to do a cold start (instead of hot or warm start)

- If you don't have a working reliable internet connection (to download satellite data to aid in calculation)

- If you have an empty gps.conf file

Sometimes if I can't get a gps lock quickly, before blaming Android I reboot to winmo and see it doesn't always get a fast lock. Environment is a huge factor. So before thinking it is an Android problem, reboot to winmo use quickgps to download sat data and wait for a accurate fix in google maps or similar app. (google maps will first get your location from google location server which is usually only accurate to several hundred meters. Make sure you wait for the actual lock with a few meters of accuracy.

Since you "have to" load winmo before android (as no nand boot exists yet) just download sat data every few days before launching haret. It would be a good idea to get a fix and then launch haret.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ginbuntu:
The trick with quickgps also works in my device. Now android is almost perfect. Camera, gps work, no freeze. I only want 720p playback.:-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
This theory makes me wonder.

Why is there a xtra.bin in the windows folder?

If there was an issue with the GPS in winmo it was sometimes needed to delete that file and download it again via the quickgps tool.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] balane:
I wish I could try the quickGPS solution but unfortunately I'm using a very light version of windows mobile and quickGPS wasn't included. I tried to download and install one but got the error message about it not being signed or trusted.

Try the latest desire HD builds. I believe it may be fixed.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] waterskier33:
The problem is that devs think that it is working i asked on irc channel. But it isn't at least something is wrong (you cant see those signal bar from any satelites before it gets fixed).
