I just tried to find the thread but couldn't (thought I had it "subscribed to").

So essentially, the fact that you've got a 4" screen as the primary drain on the battery shouldn't be that surprising. It actually speaks to the efficiency of the device. In other phones, either the phone idle state or the cell standby state would be the biggest suckers of battery life, which is a bad thing as it's polling the towers too often which drains battery quicker.

There are a few tips in the forums to save battery life like auto-dim, use wifi instead of 3G (not sure if this one), use a black background, etc... But I do think that PaiPiePia did a great job at explaining it =)
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
As posted above it's not as bad as it looks but you can do something. Run jac's uv/oc w/color fix. It allows you to drop your brightness even lower. This works well for me as most of my use is indoors. Plus the kernel being under volted obviously helps.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Exactly if you have things that are using more power than your screen then you have problems. ;)
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
as others have said, it's indeed percentage of USED battery. And display should always be using the most - unless you hardly ever use your phone.
[Vibrant General] geocepe:
Most of the time my voice calls is the top of my list. I prob do 2-3 hours of phone calls a day. With that much time on the phone is it still bad that my voice is number one?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Nope, that would do it. 2-3 hours would eat up close to 50% of your battery. I make maybe 20 minutes of calls a day at most, so display takes up anywhere from 50% to 75% of total drain.
[Vibrant General] geocepe:
thanks I was getting worried for a minute. The only good news s i get a good 24hrs of use out of my phone. Coming from a G1 its great.
[Vibrant General] kuhan:
seriously? I leave the thing in my pocket for 8 hours and the battery's at 20%

You get 24 hours WITH 2-3 hours of calling?
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Umm dude that's just not possible. Post a pic for proof or it didn't happen. G2 users get like 15 hours Max and their battery is better than ours.
[Vibrant General] borrusownage:
ive gotten 24 hours ... i dont know how you cant get over 15 hours on your phone ..
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
It is possible to get up to 30+ hours with very light use.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Yup, I have set the phone on my desk over the weekend (48+ hours) and the battery only drop down to 86%.

It is possible, just don't use a bunch of widgets/auto sync options and make sure its in a good reception area and it will last for a while.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
It's possible to get a lot more than that with very light usage.

Note: This is with No 3G as we don't have it in my country.

Bionix ftw!
[Vibrant General] kuhan:
do you have any mods or is this stock?
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
oops, I just saw this today. It was stock using JI5 from Kies at that time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djjonastybe:
I have downloaded one of the roms in this thread:

http://208.100.42.21/showthread.php?t=781149

I decided to edit the JI2 version and removed the games that came with it and repacked it in the correct formats in store compression (uncompressed)

When odin wants to flash the new .tar file it seems to take forever on amss download.

Any ideas?

With the original rom I get a big partition size!! warning or something, then amss download starts, and I have my phone flashed well.

So how do I edit the rom to change the language? I know it is in CSC.

Can I replace the bootloader in the JI2 ROM? How do I do that?

I want to install custom kernels

What is the risk of flashing it with a i5800 ROM which has nicer UI ?

Hello All, some quick help required, have done a couple of resets and used My Backup and Titanium backup to back up my apps/data and system info but everytime I restore I have to reenter my google email information, is their not an app. reg export/file I can use to restore this info. or am I doing something wrong in these programs.

[Captivate General] TexUs:
If you're a Google Apps user that's been SOL on using such things as Google Voice on your Captivate...

Login to your Dashboard on your Google Apps account, and then paste this link into your browser:

https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain.com/GoogleAccountUpgrade

Replace domain.com with your domain.

It should launch a wizard to convert your Google Apps account to utilize such services!
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
This gives full usability to the Captivate ?

Mac
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Pretty much.

There's still some services that Google hasn't converted over but alot of their "big" ones are now Google Apps compatible.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Cool

Mac
[Captivate General] shinji257:
I think Google is supposed to send you an email when it is time for your upgrade. If you have a normal Google account with the same email address as the Google apps one then you must change it or they conflict after the upgrade has finished. You can request to have your Google voice information move from the old Google account (now renamed) to your converted Google apps account when finished. The only things you can't login using Google apps is buzz, youtube, and a few misc items. Beyod that syncing works as expected all around on the phone.

So being able to use Google voice works ok..I wa just getting used to sending text with it on my Hero and really like that feature..

My stock calender keeps showing the forecast like its a appointment.. I even did a hard reset and it still shows up.. I have installed smooth calender for my home screen so I can remember my appointments.. but the weather is there and its maing me forget about the actual appointments that I do have. Is there something that I'm syncing that's doing it that I don't know about.. I have gmail account synced and facebook.. but with facebook I don't do the calender because I don't use it.. I really don't use gmail calender either.. could it be gmail that's doing it and if so how do I stop it??
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
It's the Google calendar.

[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Okay, I'm really sorry, but please, pretty please, spell it "calendar"? Yes? :) (You even have the icon in front of you - it's like a cheat sheet! :) )

Lol sorry.. I even tried to make sure I spelled everything right so I didn't look like stupid.. I guess I just thought I knew how to spell it that I didn't even think to check that word.. but I got it now.. "CALENDAR"
[Epic 4G General] bigdreco:
Thank you.. I thought it was.. now how do I get it to stop???
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
Try to login into your Google account, go to the calendar and on the left side in the Other Calendars click settings.

Then just unsubscribe from weather calendar.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
Or, on your phone go to settings in the calendar and deselect the "Weather" calendar.

[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
It's should have to be said that almost everyone bashes Samsung for one reason or the other but to be honest, I think Samsung has been listening to the consumer. Although, the lack of communication with consumers is its greatest downfall.

For example,

-Compress and GPS are been fixed actively (although not perfect, there's effort being put into the issue).

-Unlike Motorola and HTC, Samsung didn't include mechanism that makes tweaking harder (eg. efuse, and the whole G2 fiasco).

-Fixes for some of the smallest bugs, JI6 fixes alot of random quirks, such as Allshare now display the correct aspect ratio, to Calendar Alarm fix, Message Client crash, etc. Stuff that only a handful of people have express concerns over.

-Kies for updates (Kies Mini for Vibrant was extremely generous)

-Source Codes for Froyo released in a timely manner.

As stated above, the biggest downside to Samsung is the company's lack of communication with the buyers. If they can just be a bit more proactive I am sure people would trust it as much as they trust HTC or Motorola (Droid Series), etc.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
When they make something that works properly (like their crappy software which won't update my phone with bugs in it)... then maybe I'll think about it.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
When is the last time a piece of software doesn't have bugs in it.

Other softwares with bugs:

Windows .... Check.

Mac.... Check.

iOS......Check.

Android is no exception, or just look at G2 and it's state of chaos.

Oh, and the all mighty Bionix Rom develop here by XDA dev? Bugs, even more than stock, every revision gets a huge bugs fix, and more pops up. Software will never get completely perfect.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
I don't understand what you're saying..... that we should say good things about Samsung because they suck as bad as Microsoft?

For the record, even Apple software ports run better on a PC than any of Samsung's apps...which is pretty sad because iTunes sucks something fierce on Windows.
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
You sure its not you? Because my Samsung apps run perfectly fine. Annnnnd if it wasn't for Samsung you wouldn't have that beautiful 4" SAMOLED screen now would you?

Just my 2 cents.
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
I think it's just her.

I'm loving Samsung for providing Kies Mini for us and all the work they're doing trying to updates out the door. They've got what....9 or 12 phones running Android and just announced more within the past week.
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
I'm loving the screen in general. I was considering the G2 but just the 1.3 gigs and its LCD screen are too much of a downgrade for me. Plus I can't live without root!
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Yes. Its just me.

There aren't a dozen threads all over the Galaxy S boards (here and elsewhere) about Kies/Kies Mini sucking or not recognizing phones
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
I personally did not have problem with kies and I was even using a 64 bit OS. Now, people have problem folowing directions. I see so many times Kies diesnt recognize the phone because 1) phone not in kies mode 2) not usibg default launcher 3) didnt bother to install driver. All of which were addressed in the instructions.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
There is no such thing in the world as a bug free software. All of the world's most praised software has patches and updates that fix issues that have been reported.

1% of its userbase experiencing such problems equates to hardware/software incompatibilities and/or the biggest reason for software problems, ID10T errors.
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
I say if people don't like it get rid of it. Done
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
This is my 2nd Samsung phone and the 2nd time I have had these problems. A motorola driver has never crapped out on me, and Motorola phone tools never took over my USB bus, disabling all other devices on it.

Kies did and I had to uninstall it if I wanted any network connectivity on my desktop. Conversely, HTC and Motorola drivers and software work like they are supposed the first time I run them.

There's definitely a reason that Samsung is in 3rd place behind them. Given the issues that the Galaxy S, their flagship device has.... I don't see them overtaking either of those two companies anytime soon.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Hate to break it to you, but Samsung is already the #2 mobile phone manufacturer in the world, after Nokia.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
iTunes and the iPhone updating system has had it's fair share of USB related and just bug related problems when updating software or restoring. Nice error messages they give you. Googling them brings you a plethora of people complaining right on the official Apple forums (a rarity because the forum is nazi-moderated).

I have no serious issues with my Vibrant. I know what I like and what I don't. I don't like stock Android.. I know that for certain. Same with a large QWERTY device. Not my thing anymore. I know that people like to ***** and moan on forums, a LOT. The G2 forum has already been graced with a "where is mai andriod 3.0s???" thread and a TON of complains/bugs. From poor signal, to random reboots, from loose hinges, to complaints about where they have the USB port.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Samsung is O K

I have worked with sooo many systems over the last 15 years........ All have their problems. Samsung Galaxy phones are one of the better ones I have dealt with. I tweaked my very first cell phone in the 1980's (set it up with a fake ring tone).

The important thing is notice how many very very good custom ROM and tweaks have come out for this phone That speaks to how much people like the phone. Like I have said before... the phone makers can and must do better.......alot of the lame bugs are because of laziness or just being in a rush. My Vibrant is a great phone. I just want a perfect phone just like all the techies in this forum.
[HD2 General] TopOfNewYork:
I doubt anyone cares but earlier today I actually saw the wind animation in the weather for the first time ever today. I felt like I had to post about it.

If you live in NY it should show for this Saturday, that the expected weather is windy along with the wind animation and the leaves blowing. Took like 6 months to have a windy day since the phone dropped but at least I know the animation exists and works....

My best guess is that the wind animation is somehow related to the fall season. The leaves look like they falling off the tree and they are brown so maybe that is why its never utilized on windy days in the spring and summer. Obviously there wouldn't be leaves on the trees in NY in the winter. Personally Id prefer that sense use a variety of animations fully use all the options to keep it fresh and interesting rather than it actually matching the seasons. Windy is windy.

The new sense weather animations I saw on youtube look sick...they went in a totally new direction with it.

now Im just waiting to see snow and ice animation in action on my Leo outside of the demo.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
I live in Las Vegas, NV USA.

I had the same problem the other day. I had just moved some bloatware around and then it stopped working. I found that when I put the google talk stuff back it and restarted the phone it worked again.

[Fascinate General] itstee:
what i did was removed voodoo, put stock kernel back in. then i loaded Super Clean Rom DI01 from jt and installed voodoo again. market works great nwo
[Fascinate General] egg_head:
I was rooting/moving bloatware/ext4ing a friend's Fascinate today and I ran into this problem.

I spent what felt like forever trying to fully restore everything.

Finally, I used the Factory Format dialing string- *#767*3855#

That completely reset the phone, but left CWM and Market was restored.

Then I re-rooted, etc and it all worked.

Long, drawn out recovery process.
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
Did you by chance remove the vending.apk when deleting bloatware? If yes, that could be the issue. :)
[Fascinate General] Copperhed:
Had this problem and I tried reflashing voodoo and uninstalling the market update and re-installing and it didn't help.

I finally disabled voodoo and wiped and installed jt's super clean rom and enabled voodoo...... market works great now!! Wish there was an easier fix tho.

Sent from my 1.2ghz Fascinate!!
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Thanks for all your responses. Seems I'm going to have to wipe and start over again. I didn't remove vending.apk or google talk. Even tried going to market 2.2 still no go.

[Fascinate General] tonybalonyy:
i was stuck on this for 2 days.

solved it by factory resetting and then using a different default gmail account.

my previous account never started downloading.
[Fascinate General] gyurko:
I had the same problem. It was because I had Google Talk frozen with titanium backup. Unfroze it, and market downloads started right up.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
First off never freeze anything "google" refer to list of safe to freeze apps in this forum somewhere. I did have a couple of apps stuck on installing. But the method I used to fix it was way easier.

settings/applications/manage applications, go to market in the list and hit force stop and cleared the cache and next I hit uninstall updates. Rebooted device and market was back up and running. And it will reapply update that you just removed.

hope it helps.

good day.
[Fascinate General] the_passenger:
Just open google talk and sign in then your Market App would act normal again.

Happy downloading.
[Fascinate General] Boushh:
This method worked perfectly for me, thank you.
[Fascinate General] Kunkka:
i had a quick question.. by dialing *#767*3855# that does a compelete format? so i will be going back to stock and wiping all my current apps right? and do i need to disable the voodo lagfix before doing this if i choose to reformat?
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
I would always disable voodoo lagfix before doing mods. You can always reenable it once you get your phone to where you want it to be. :)
