*wrote this in another section but feel it may be relevant here*

Hi everyone,

First post here from me, wonder if any of you could suggest a fix to a small problem I have encountered since taking the plunge and installing Froyo via the kies registry hack.

Using a 16gb unbranded UK model on Tesco mobile. My first impressions of Froyo are to be honest...good and bad. Loving the flash, streaming a football game as I type! Working flawless. The negatives are small, but strange. When I am side-scrolling through my applications (left to right), when the page goes from 2-3, there is a slight hang. It's weird, because from page 1-2, 3-4-5 it seems lag free, just a very small but noticeable hang/lag when I'm scrolling past 2-3. Overall app loading is fast, but there is more lag for me in overall use.

My marketplace icon did not disappear so that's also good.

My small problem though is this, when I click on the Facebook S app, the app opens but it won't refresh or show me any info, then it tells me "login to facebook in account and sync"...below that message is a button called "go to account & sync". When I tap that, a message comes up saying "facebook account is already added in account manager" and it stays on the original screen and nothing happens. So basically no Facebook S! Which I rate much more than the official android app.

I have tried clearing the cache under account settings, fully deleting the app (strangely, when I fully delete Facebook S now, it does not appear on the samsung apps page to redownload...I had to find a download on my laptop to reinstall..). I tried removing the Facebook account details from my phone and re-applying them. I am stumped!

Anyone got any suggestions or encountered this before? Google account, twitter etc are working fine.

Thanks in advance!

It's even worse on Froyo. You get 304 MB avaiable for Android.

As for people saying that froyo is fast, no lag,etc. See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809853 . And that's not the only problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Khaledrm:
Very laggy.. I feel like going back to 2.1. When i hold the home button, the thing comes up lagging. Notification bar scrolls down lagging. Everything is freaking slow. I have JPM/JP6 and updated it using registry hack from froyo. I m desperate to fix this Or i'll just flash back to 2.1 ( if possible )

can anybody get allshare or twonky working?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
Then what the hell is going on? Could we at least know what is at fault here?

Is it Samsung or Broadcomm's fault?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bcam117:
Ok so for now im definitely not going to bother flashing. But why is there so much lag? Is it mainly the ram? How freaking slow are the phones with only 256mb then?! I spent a lot of money on this phone, and find it dumb that i HAVE to use autokiller on aggressive. If only htc weren't using freaking ****ty quallcomm processors at the time. Seriously, does anyone think the issues with ram/lag will EVER be fixed? I mean the gps seems to be a lost cause but the phone is at least meant to be fast.

And what happened to 2.2 bringing with it a big speed boost with the JIT complier? Is that sammy's fuk up or does it only truely work with different processors? I have so many questions and its like no one can answer them. Will there be a cyanogen rom eventually?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
This is just pure speculation from my part: Broadcom promised a GPS chip that is very sensitive and capable of handling weaker signals. Samsung in turn take the promise and designed a small GPS antenna for it in order to keep the slim profile of the phone. To compensate for this defficiency in satellite signal, Samsung has to boost the signal amp in the chip. This in turn picks up all kinds of RF noise from cell radio and other circuitary in the phone. Hence explains this random crazy GPS problem. And since this is all analog signal related problem, not all the phones will behave the same. And depending on the location and how you use your phone (on your lap or mounted on top of the dash board), the GPS behaves differently becasue the difference in satellite reception.

I found for my phone, ever since I mounted it on the dash board, a lot of problems I encountered (lag, jump etc) before when I just let it lay down in the cup holder in the center console are greatly reduced but not completely eliminated. Using GPS Test app, I found whenever my phone receives mostly upper 30 SNR satellites, my navigation will be fine. But sometimes it will be 20s to lower 30s and the navigation will be real bad.

Another one, I feel the battery drain faster than JPK, I don't know if this is caused by fight battery mod, as I don't use it in JPK
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cba1986:
I flashed JPM yesterday. Things that i noticed so far:

1) More GSM signal. From -81 with JM9 to -55. Really impressive.

2) The earphone during calls it's much louder than before perhaps for the increase in reception.

3) Gallery loads a lot faster and colours seems more vivid.

4) More RAM comsuming. With JM8 and autokiller(extreme) the free RAM was up to 180, with the same configuration in JPM i scratch 135.

5)GPS works the same as JM9. But GPS was never a issue only in Mytracks, for car navigation using Ndrive, never had a problem.

6)Some lag when i use the keyboard and perhaps some apps. it's nothing terrible but bothers a little.

7)I have to confess the web navigation was a little more fast in JM9 with voodoo, but here i have a smooth flash navigation with the JP6 browser fix. Win some loose some.

8) I like the new method to snooze alarm.

9) The increase ringtone bug is still there.

10) Some people are claming that 3d rendering is slower than Eclair. Not in this side. Quake3arena gives me the same FPS as Eclair. The same with Quadrant, same score in the 3D department.

Resuming. It's a mixed bag. With JM9 more smooth experience, probably due to Voodoo. Nothing that supercurio can't fix when he release voodoo for 2.2.

For the time being i'm a happy camper but with Voodoo i will sing in the rain. LOL

Peace-

At first glance this rom seems ok but after a day or two this fw seems more bug ridden than jpk. High memory usage and a sleep issue are two things that stick out. The phone went dead from a full charge overnight.

Well my JPM track, which included driving and walking, was pretty rubbish! Lots of driving all over the place, careering through people's houses and drifting about roundabouts... Take a look for yourself: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie...9571,-0.445107&spn=0.001315,0.003479&t=h&z=19
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
I'm also wondering if "My tracks" is a good app. Mentioned in another post that using Runnkeeper seems to render a perfect route, thus implying this could be a "My Tracks" issue???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mvenneker:
2 days later. still happy with GPS results. while driving i get accurate statistics.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Andyman10:
I suspect that it's most likely that it's just poor design on Samsungs part. The huge variations in performance reported by different users suggest that the initial circuit design was 'on the edge' in terms of noise and then component tolerances in manufacture push it one way or the other. I've seen this many times in electronic product development. For instance capacitors are used extensively to filter noise in circuit designs and might have a 2% tolerance, add up all those 2%s one way or the other and one phone works and the next one doesn't, even though it's ostensibly exactly the same circuit.

If you put the device in flight mode, turn on GPS and look at reported GPS SNR values after it has a lock with something like GPS Test and then turn flight mode off you'll see a sudden large drop in Signal to Noise readings (i.e. increased noise in GPS frequency) which means that something on the phone itself is causing the problem. Just as likely to be increased noise on the power supply/ground lines to the GPS device caused by the increase in overall power drain as it is extraneous radiation from those same devices. Some change is going to happen on any device as tightly packed as a modern mobile phone but the problem in the case of the SGS seems to be that the background noise is so high, and the SNR so low, that it can't make out the signal from the 'mush' of everything else.

Curiously enabling first GPS lock with flight mode on on my particular phone then significantly improves the performance even when flight mode is turned off, which *may* be something to do with the basic signal gain, or amplification, being initially determined in a different noise environment.

I somehow doubt Samsung are going to own up to this one though, if this is the case, as they'd have to recall and replace an awful lot of phones.

I've used JPM for a day then now I flashed to JP6. When I was using JPM, RAM usage goes up to 250 out of 304 which is way more than 2.1. Totally laggy not usable, I barely made 100 free RAM with level2 RAM clean.

For the GPS, it is still not usable at all.. It teleports to everywhere while I was driving.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattbuffey:
Flashed JP6 via Kies on Saturday and somehow managed to corrupt the OS somehow (lots of weird stuff happened, mostly odd text in different menus). Flashed JPM using Odin and everything working well (OCLF also installed).

One question, where is the "Settings –> About phone –> USB Settings" option that was present in Eclair? When I connect to my pc now via usb it connects automatically using Kies rather than letting me choose.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Matt
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reservin:
That is now on wireless networks section =D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robgeerts:
I also have weird translations...

How can i fix it?

Do I really have to flash with Odin??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
We can't keep guessing anymore. I would like to know what really is happening here for sure, from Samsung or Broadcomm. That's a right we have. Samsung or Broadcomm must tell everyone what the problem is about and if it's fixable in any way or not. It would be better if they told us the truth, whatever it is, than keeping us in the dark.

If they don't, then I suspect this will be the last time I will get a phone ( or anything ) from Samsung or Broadcomm. Period.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattbuffey:
Of course, what a dummy I am...

Thanks!!!! Matt
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattbuffey:
It wasn't a translation issue. I ballsed it up somehow by pressing on the power button to get it into flight mode. The screen went blank. I restarted an all of a sudden some bits of text had gone wrong, for instance in the notifications drawer instead of saying "notifications" it said "%s%d%d"! Also, Google search kept coming up with a "Forbidden" web page and Flash wasn't working. Corrupted somehow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robgeerts:
So, if I re-flash it, it will be better?

I flashed to the official JPM-version. Is it possible to reflash that version?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattbuffey:
Assuming that you're having the same problem as I had, then yes a reflash should fix it. I followed the instructions here hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807886. I just went straight to step 3 (but I didn't bother with a pit file).

laggy as hell

I updated my galaxy s via kies to 2.2, but it's laggy as hell. Was it mandatory to do a factory reset immediately after the upgrade? :confused:
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Hey guys :)

After a long while, I wanted to upload a video again from my HTC HD2.

So I recorded the video, and decided to upload it to YouTube, when I did go to my Album, and then 'Share' and then 'YouTube' and then clicking on the video, and then clicking 'Next', then my I get an error.

HTCAlbum.exe crashes.

I already tried to hardreset, and reïnstalling my ROM, but the problem still appears.

Later I saw that in Data Services in the settings of HD2, that the YouTube service is not slided on, when I logged in, it was still not going on.

Does anyone know how to fix this? or does anyone have this problem too?

Since a few days I also have the problem that my camera won't start randomly, it tells me 'Could not initialize camera' or something like that.

I dont know if this problem is in connection with the problem that I just explained above, but maybe someone knows a solution for this too.

Thanks in advance!

Greetz,

Joshoon
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Anyone a clue?
[HD2 General] azlan96:
I also have the same problem
[HD2 General] joshoon:
So... this could be the same problems as there was with the Twittertab?

YouTube changed something in their servers, and now we can't login anymore?
[HD2 General] azlan96:
The twitter thingy has been solved, but not YOuTUBe
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Yea I knew that, it was very annoying when Twitter didnt work.

Now I dont use YouTube uploading too much, but I use it sometimes, and it is a feature of the phone, so I want it working
[HD2 General] emcinc:
I think it has something to do with your account login settings but how to change those I am not sure! I know mine are wrong because I signd in with the wrong account and it kept saying temporarily unavailable when i tried to upload so i went to upload it from my pc and i realized my error. i am now trying to find out how to change the login settings to my real account info but i may just have to hard reset which sucks because i have so many tweaks so if anyone knows how to change the youtube account login info on the hd2 please let me know emcinc@hotmail.com
[HD2 General] joshoon:
I think it is not my account, because it just worked fine before.

But I don't use my HD2 that much anymore, so I don't care about this problem anymore :P
[HD2 General] nerys71:
its something with the uploader or the service.

I am using stock sprint rom 6.5 on my Touch Pro 2. clean install uploader works flawlessly. after so many uploads or so many days it stops working.

it uploads 100% then says failed service temporarily unavailable. FOREVER.

if I hard reset the phone it works again for a short time then stops again forever.

so "something" is "changing" that is "undone" when you hard reset.

suggestions? I REALLY REALLY like being able to click and upload using the web browser is enough of a pain in the ass that I would simply not do it any more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
I know about and have seen the spreadsheet created by neif. I was wondering if there's any sort of rundown that compares the roms by features, and not just raw stats. Don't get me wrong - the stats are important and big thanks to neif for compiling them.

But i'd like to know what each rom brings to the table besides just which one is the fastest or has the longest battery life.

Right now off the top of my head the few features i'd really like to have would be:

working tether

working hotspot

removal of all the sprint apps, other then maybe sprint nav

I've used unrevoked on my phone, so it's rooted, but that's as far as i have gone so far.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
Read a ton in the development section. Each of the features you list are usually noted in the OP of each ROM thread. Way too much info to copy and paste!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
yeah, i know about the threads in the dev section. Bit of a pain to read through them all though, which is why i was asking if someone had compiled a list similar to what nief did, except highlighting features rather then performance.

thanks
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
So I gave my post HERE a week and no responses.

But the XDA app is hammering my cpu if I use the native close funtion or back button to close it. To assure myself it is not running I hit home and kill it in task manager.

If anyone has some time get OSMonitor from the market its free and in OSMonitor options under process tick "Order" so the check is there and sort by "load". Do some XDA stuff using the app, close it natively using menu/close and check OSMonitor and watch for it. I did experience this with a stock setup and same results after rooting and stuff.

Please someone tell me I'm not crazy. It took 2 days of horrible battery before I figured this out.

good day.

Hi,

I have a Brazilian (Vivo) Milestone, unlocked and rooted, and I'm currently in Germany. I bought a pre-paid O2 SIM, but although calls and sms are working fine, the data connection is not. Even if I define to use only 2G, it still won't connect.:confused:

The SIM is working fine, since I'm sending this message using it with a 3G USB Stick.

I am with 2.1 stock ROM, but I also tried flasing it to Dexter's 2.2 Motofrenzy, and even xslntx's 2.1 Tellus. Same behavior.:mad:

Hey everyone! So is there a way to broadcast your music to the radio on a certain frequency? The galaxy has an fm radio so is it possible to broadcast the music as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aridoasis:
I wouldn't think so as an fm transmitter is not mentioned anywhere on the specs sheet.

all we have on our galaxy is an fm receiver, unlike, for example, the n86, which has a transceiver and can transmit music to a radio. (though the range is pretty short)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkkoushirou:
Hi!

I've a problem (or at least an annoying fact...) with my SMS notification sound since I#ve got my HD2 five months ago. But now I just can't stand it anymore :mad:

When recieving an SMS, the notification sound starts to play, but then (after about three seconds) the sound is just cut off. So if my notification would be a speech with "This is the notification sound" it would play like "This is the notific". I've tried a build in (very short) sound, and it works, as long as its under about three seconds. And I tried it with longer ones (over six seconds). Then, the sound is cut of periodically... So if my notification would be "This is the notification sound. And now you hear an even longer version of it" it would play like "This is the notific *silent* d now you he *silent* on of it.".

This happens on about 80% of the messages I get, the rest plays the notification just fine. There is no difference if the device is locked or not, or if I'm on some tab or just the home screen.

I tried to find some settings for this, used google and searched the forum for about two days about this topic but couldn't find an answer.

I think it might have something to do with the option to repeat a notification tone? But it's unchecked and the option is disabled by default (or Sense).

Maybe you have a solution for this.

Thanks in advice! :)

Hi,

Well I just got a pair of Beats by Dre, and wow do I love it.. The sound is great. Its comfortable. Its sexy. But its not perfect.

The headphone does not allow me to change my volume (which it has buttons for it), and it does not allow me to use the mic while I'm in a call. These two things have been annoying me enough that I will pay some good money, just to get a fix for it.

So if anyone can fix this problem for me... Ill get you some cash with PayPal.

I considered an iPhone 4 for a second to replace my G2, just to get these features. My friends iPhone 4 works perfectly with the headphones, and call quality is excellent. I just don't get it.

Anyways, Anyone up to fix this problem?
[Android Software Development] thelamacmdr:
Have you tried using your friends headphones in the G2 yet? Not likely but could be a fault with the headphones. Also, are the volume controls scroll based or button?
