did you do a contract extension or did you add a line to your account to get the slide? the only way to get it discounted is to either add a new line on your account or be eligible for an upgrade discount on one of your lines. otherwise yeah you would have to by it outright at full price
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
Before I rooted, I was having to charge my phone in the evening before I went out. Unplugged at around 11am-noon and then recharged around 7pm-8pm before I left my house to go party, then overnight.

Since I've rooted and installed CM 6.1 (the stable one, I haven't used any nightlies) I've been able to make it much longer. Yesterday I unplugged at 2pm (hangover made me oversleep lol) and I was at 11% at 4am this morning (it's 11am my time now). I took 4 pics, uploaded them all to Facebook, sent roughly 150 texts, received two 5 minute phone calls, updated 3 apps in the market, read several articles using Feedr, did some Facebooking and then finally checked my Fantasy Hockey team with Fantasy Guru. I also turned on the screen to check the time, watched several YouTube videos and let this chick on mushrooms play with my live wallpaper. Still, only 89% drainage after 14 hours of use. So, based on my experience, vanilla froyo 2.2 gets way better battery life than the stock rom with or without sense. As typically stated, user experiences may vary.

I know, stick me in a commercial right? Droid does, f**k Apple.

But that's pretty heavy use for me, and my phone still made it to the nightly plug in, typically I'm around 25% by the time I hit the sack.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I tried the 170 nightly the other day and phone died while in sleep mode, I might try another one since I do like using Launcher2 over sense and that cool blue ver of Nexus LWP.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzatlacael:
Yea I got a contract, I imagine it'll restart the 2 years contract count. The contract begun with 2 lines, I hope i could be eligible for an upgrade discount. If not then I'm starting with this phone, I'm expecting someone to port a rom like HTC Desire HD or MyTouch Slide 4g, then there would not be a reason for us to upgrade. :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Yeah actually now, I guess I've conditioned the new battery or something rather, because life shot up. I haven't turned wifi off at all today, pretty heavy use, lots of facebook and texting, even a bit of ebuddy. Unplugged at 10:30am and its now 12:30 am and its still at around 15 or 20%. If I had wifi off I imagine I would still be up at 30% right now, if not more.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejoker25000:
3rd sense has great battery life been using it all day and its only dropped to 81% between 11-5 with cm I would be below 70% right now
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Forgive me for my possible stupidity here, but what's 3rd sense? Is that a rom or just a launcher?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJAZ:
I laugh every time I see this thread; I remember when the Slide came out the Vibrant came around like 3 weeks later. I asked the same question then as the original post is doing here (about the Vibrant though)... I was all but flamed for asking! All these members started in on me on how they'd never get a "Samsuck" and how stupid it would be to go with anything from Samsung. Well several of those that would "never" buy Samsuck went out and did just that. :D

I would consider a mytouch4g at a steep discount (no more than $50) ... waiting for the next official Google phone before I invest again. No more Tmobile branded phones if I can help it. My Slide is doing just fine for the time being.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Haha I used to think the same thing of samsung phones. They are good phones... if you have the time and patience to hunt down and apply decent lagfixes. My also found something that let him back the RFS file system that samsung uses entirely. With no modifications, it gets sub 1000 in quadrant, but once you get the lagfixes applied the scores normally double. If you want a phone for an average consumer that just works right out of the box, HTC is a WAY better option. HTC phones are known pretty well for simply working. The mytouch4g gets really high stock quadrant scores. I don't remember but I think they were at LEAST 1800 out of the box, possibly above 2000. It's been a little while since I watched the videos on it. I do have to give samsung some credit with their launcher though. If you set aside the lag that people are saying it has, the launcher is really quite amazing. The lockscreen integration of missed calls, new emails and texts, and things like that, is amazing.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejoker25000:
It's a Rom in the dev section
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Is it based off of stock? By the name I would assume its based off of sense haha

I suppose I could just go look at it haha
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpaperback:
In response to the OP:

I would, but I'd have to get $300 for my Slide. :(

I actually wish I could. I find that I don't use the keyboard nearly as much as I thought I would. Swype and SwiftKey are just too good.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I agree, I really thought I would use the physical keyboard more than the virtual.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Oh god I hate both of those keyboards. I hate swiftkey almost as much as I hated swype. I use the stock froyo Latin_IME, it's got an excellent prediction engine and some useful features in the froyo one. I used to use HTC IME pre-froyo, since the elcair stock keyboard and earlier sucks ass. But the froyo stock is so much better than anything I've used in the past.

[Captivate General] JOe K.:
1st and foremost. I love this phone (GPS issues aside) it's perfect and the greatest thing that has ever happened to me which is sad.

A few Android questions (I'm running Cog 2.2 B6 with Launcher Pro):

Is there a way to organize your favorites or am I relegated to alphabetized favorites list?

Is there a way I can go directly to dial my favorites?

I am coming from an iPhone and I can't figure out how to select text that is off of the screen. Example: This is a textbox with a senten (how do I get to where the "ce" in sentence would be?)

Can I get Facebook push notifications?

Sometimes the facebook app goes into normal webpage view mode when I'm looking at my notifications, is that a bug?

For the call log is there a way where I can only see phone transactions and not text. It looks like I can view by missed, dialed OR received calls but not all 3. Otherwise I have to view all my texts as well.

Thanks,

JOe K.
[Captivate General] cruiserbax:
First keep in mind that the current Froyo is a leaked pre-release so there are some small bugs, such as the email app issue with exchange.Alright abou the selecting text that is off the screen, I am not sure what you mean by this as normally text is wrapped? what application are you having this issue in? I.E, the browser. as far as customizing your favorites layout, I do not believe there is an option for that, only to switch to grid view. What I do since I can have up to 7 home screens (I only use 4) I use one home screen as a favorite contacts list (not sure if you can do this on launcher pro but I would guess yes) hold click home screen and select add shortcut> select either a contact that will bring up the call/email/sms/mms/navigate (if there is an address for contact) or instead of selecting a normal contact you can select "Direct Dial" it will allow you to select a contact as before but when you hit this contact on the home screen, instead of getting the normal options it will directly dial that contact. it's actually a pretty nice way to manage your favorite contacts.

Hope this helps a little! also before I forget you know when looking at a contact (including in the favorites list) you can swipe to the right on the contact to call or to the left to sms. a couple other things, you can pinch inward on the home screen in Touchwiz to zoom out to tiles of your home screens and the same is true in the TW app list, zooms out too see all app pages. the swipe to call/sms works regardless of you using launcher pro though, good luck!
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
Good idea about the homepage dedicated for contacts. I set that up.

It seems my sim and my google contacts have duplicated many entries. Is it possible to combine the two, so I don't have a SIM entry and a Google entry?

Also, how do I associate a picture with a contact?

Thanks,

JOe K.
[Captivate General] Twoam:
To join contacts go into the contact itself, hit the menu button and then join contact.

After you join the contacts you may want you can go into the contacts app, hit menu, more, then display settings. You can tell the phone what type of contacts you want displayed. The only downside is all contacts are displayed when spelling out a name using the dialer.
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
Perhaps I'll delete the entries out of my SIM card and then I'll be able to easily modify my G-Mail contacts list.

Do you know of anyway how to delete all the entries for a SIM card?

Also, I still don't know how to associate pictures?
[Captivate General] Twoam:
The easiest way that I know the delete all of the contacts on the sim is to display only the sim contacts and hit the menu button then delete. Then click all of the contacts one at a time. Once you are done then go back and display the contacts you want active.

To add a picture go into the contact, edit, then click on the stock picture, should have a little plus in it, and this will let you either take a picture our use one from your library.
[Captivate General] cruiserbax:
Also if you hve FaceBook and you sync it (the widget or what ever) when you set it up deselect add all conteacts and select the ones who are also in your phone contacts list. Then when you join the two contacts (your phone/google copy) with you Facebook contact of the same person it use the FB profile picture in your contacts list and will change as that person changes there FB profile picture, it will also show there current FB status. also if you go to the activities tab in contacts after syncing FB it will show all the recent wall posts ect.

Hi,

Does anyone know if the latest android 2.2's gallery and browser support the multi-touch?

if not, is there any other open source gallery and browser support the multi-touch feature?

thanks! :confused:
[Android Software Development] generalamerica:
They have supported multi-touch since 2.1.
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
Let me preface this with: I appreciate the work that Devs do and I'm not ungrateful for anything that has been done. I'm just trying to get some justification.

I'm having doubts about keeping VooDoo mainly because when you create a Nandroid it doesn't backup the Data.

-I used SpareParts before to make screen transitions and animations faster

-I don't really see a huge speed boost from VooDoo

-I feel like my recovery isn't complete right now

-I don't really care about quadrant scores/linpack results because my phone runs fast based on performance NOT based on some numbers.

Thanks for your help
[Fascinate Android Development] bubby323:
If you don't want it and can't tell the diffrence then get rid of it. Why do you need convincing? Seems like you'd be much happier without it, and like you said recovery doesn't work all the way.
[Fascinate Android Development] pvgomer:
Since jumping to voodoo my fascinate is working like I want it.no FC's and great speed.
[Fascinate Android Development] GoBruins:
I'm very grateful for the devs too.

Anyhow, I think voodoo does have better phone performance. I do think the phone is much snappier (compared to before...).

Regarding nandroid, yeah I understand that issue. I totally agree too. I also think "most" of the times of playing around with the phone, I would have voodoo disabled, so that doing something that would crash my phone and would require a nandroid would still be viable. Granted, thats if I made a nandroid backup beforehand (disable VD, nandroid, re-enable VD)
[Fascinate Android Development] jbrdr985:
Why do people keep saying "nandroid"? What is that? When I made a backup I just went into clockwork and clicked on create backup. I didn't see anything mention nandroid.
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
Well I'm trying to get some reasons to keep it that I may be missing. Cause it seems like its a pain to remove voodoo. If I remove it, I'm going to completely remove it, not just the remove voodoo file thing.
[Fascinate Android Development] bubby323:
The backups are called nandroid backups, because the backup your nand, or memory. For some people it doesn't work correctly with voodoo for whatever reason.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
You can make nandroid backups, you just remove voodoo, make the backup, reinstall voodoo.

To remove, you create your disable_lagfix file and reboot. Wait for the uninstall process. Once you're back to normal, make your backup. Then remove the disable_lagfix file, and reboot once more, and wait for the reinstall process.

It might take you an extra 15 minutes, but it sure beats the 2 days it takes to get the phone back to "just how you had it".

As far as convincing you, I have better things to do with my time.. ;) Like the guy said, if it's not what you want, don't use it. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] bubby323:
It shouldn't be that much of a pain. From what i understand, voodoo is really only to fix the "lag" of all galaxy variants using a slower ext cache or filesystem by moving the system to a faster partition. I coul be wrong on that. Its supposedly to speed up the phone and reduce lag. If you haven't noticed a diffrence, maybe try an overclock kernal.
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
Why would I try someone who I don't like or think has much intelligence?
[Fascinate Android Development] bubby323:
More like 2 mins with a nandroid backup and odin. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
Well I think I just got my first problem. I can't seem to delete apps from the touchwiz menu by clicking menu>edit> and clicking the red minus sign...
[Fascinate Android Development] bubby323:
That could be a problem. You could always try pushing touchwizlauncher30.apk to system\app using adb.
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
Tried that, and no go. Idk what was going on, but I decided to go ahead back to the stock kernel. I'll probably end of flashing back but here is what made me go back:

-I couldn't format my phone easily

-My recovery just didn't feel complete

-Didn't see much of an improvement (could of been that I wasn't on an overclock kernel)
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
Odin and nandroid wont fix your mbr
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
I don't think you quite understand what's going on here. But you go ahead and try that and see how it works out for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOONEyRR:
ive got my class 10 card comin in tomorrow, i think its a kingmax? what swap/swappy should i do to get the most outta it? or should i just do everything like normal.

i'm just workin with a class 2 right now.

edit: guess i should've posted this in q&a. my bad :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjybarr:
Settings for swap and swappiness, depends on what rom you are using.... I would say for general, 512 fat ext. Either 32 or 64 (don't see a need for 96). Swappiness around 40-60. Like I said, depends on the rom your flashing. That's my take, hope it helps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOONEyRR:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicked7o7:
i actually tried doing this step already and it didnt remove it from my phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Were you able to remove the update.zip from your home directory on your phone? If that update.zip is gone then you should not be able to get into clockwork recovery.

In fact to actually get into clockwork recovery you not only have to have a clockwork recovery update.zip on your phone, but you actually boot into stock recovery then have to select reinstall packages to get into clockwork recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
I'm going to assume because you haven't shared what you're running, you're running Cognition 2.1.7 which contains clockwork built in and can't be "replaced" since it is the stock. Either that, or you installed Unhelpful's 1.7 kernel manually.

Either way, you can't remove it. You'd need to switch kernels.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicked7o7:
i deleted the update.zip but it still booted clockwordmod recovery.

how do i manually removed the kernel? ands after removing what would you suggest be the best kernel/rom to run so that i can overclock my samsung captivate to 1.2
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Um I don't think you want to "manually" remove the kernel. You can flash another kernel over your current one using odin or if you have another kernel that is packaged with a clockwork flashable rom you could use the clockwork recovery that you are trying to get rid of. By the way the kernel is your OS, your phone won't work to well without one.

Unhelpfuls kernel is probably your best option if you want to overclock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicked7o7:
i got the problem fixed, and i used unhelpfuls kernel the newest one v 1.7 and even tried the cognition v2.1.7 with unhelpfuls kernels and i was not able to overclock on setcpu.

do you think i should use an older version of unhelpfuls kernels so that i can overclock?

I know its frustrating to try to find the best build, and I agree with others there isn't one best build with the variety of android types there are esp with or without sense. But the truth is there is no one solid build. I've tried like ten different ones and all have problems. Hell even a phone with stock android will have problems.

New builds come out almost daily. Figure out if you like sense out not, and find a build that is most stable for you. Then just read forums till you find one where all the reviews seem positive. Don't get in the habit of changing rooms daily though cuz it'll be a pain in the butt to reinstall everything and not much may change in builds each day. Good luck.
