[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
I have tried the Vibrant, Galaxy S, and Captivate camera software, none of which seem to work correctly when trying to send a picture or upload a picture I took in portrait mode, the picture always comes out sideways. Its odd because in the gallery, it shows the picture in portrait mode but as soon as I try to send it, it turns the picture sideways. Dont have this issue on my old iphone 3gs nor my G2. Strange thing is, the pics I uploaded from iphone onto my Vibrant, it correctly orients those if i try to upload them or send them. Looks like there is some sort of breakdown of communication between the camera software and the "share" portion. I find this pretty annoying as its such a small simple thing that should be fixed. Anyone got any ideas what to do? Is there a program to modify orientation so i can fix it before uploading or sending? Although the pics show up in the correct orientation in the gallery so not sure if that would help?
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
So nothing?
[Vibrant General] Jaimizzle:
Use Picsay to fix your pictures
[Vibrant General] Jaimizzle:
And upload directly from picsay
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
How about you rotate the pictures before doing anything with them??

LMAO xD
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
I agree with the OP and have always experienced the same issue. The suggestion that you rotate the pic before uploading is completely ridiculous. The reason we have the "share" function built into the gallery is to make things fast and convenient. Having to edit/rotate defeats the purpose.
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
exactly, cant wait to get rid of this phone, samsung couldnt even get a little feature like this right. Plus the pictures are also already correctly oriented in the gallery, so not sure if rotating would fix the problem?
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Its weird because on computer its right but when upliading to facebook its sideway, perhaps its facebooks problem?
[Vibrant General] solace.discord:
even when the pics are taken within the facebook app, this still happens, so it might not just be a share issue from within the gallery.

anyone find anything on this? quite annoying..
[Vibrant General] Damonkashu:
I also noticed this, I wasn't sure whether I made a mistake with uploading or what
[Vibrant General] grennis:
I've always had this problem too
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
Don't you think you are doing it wrong op?

you are supposed to take pictures in landscape mode.. not in portrait, the default is landscape even though it will let you take pics on portrt.. so best solution is to take pictures in landscape... is that too hard to do?
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
Even if you take a picture with the phone upside down.. your screen will always show you the upright view of the image so that you won't have to twist your head around while taking pictures side ways or upside down... gyroscope is it? But it will be saved on your gallery in the way you took the picture in...
[Vibrant General] crazyald:
even if you rotate the pic in the gallery it will still send it sideways
[Vibrant General] solace.discord:
but what if it's not a landscape-type picture, which is the issue here.. pics should be able to be taken, saved and uploaded in both landscape and portrait, or frikin sideways or upside-down if the user so chooses.
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
Umm you mean a vertical type picture? I think the landscape mode itself is the portrait aswell.. I tried taking a picture in landscape then sent it to myself as mms... i got the picture in the upright position.. then i took another picture in portrait.. i got the picture side ways.. although the image in camera was in upright position during portrait, the pic was still side way because ovbiously the phone was in side way position..
[Vibrant General] solace.discord:
When the camera comes up, its set to landscape, even if you hold the phone normally for a portrait shot, the screen orientation doesn't change. No matter how we tried to take this picture, no matter what it looked like in the gallery, when it uploaded or sent, it was in landscape.

The camera doesn't work like it does on other Androids.
[Vibrant General] israel941:
I have been using mobile ap on my vibrant, but today it suddenly stopped. Data still works fine from the phone, but my pc (win 7 64) can't load a thing.

I get a solid wifi connection, just no internet. Tried usb tether and got the same thing. If I switch to the neighbor's wifi (shh...) it works fine. Flashed the new mobile ap for JI6, no dice.

the only reason I have my suspicions it may be blocked is that this happened after about 2 hours of streaming hulu. definitely not throttled, though bc I'm getting at least 1.2 Mbps on speed test on the phone. Also don't eat a ton of data other then today, so I'm sure I'm not at that 5GB limit.

Any thoughts?
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
tangent but i thought t-mobile removed that 5gb limit and would just throttle speed after hitting that "limit"?
[Vibrant General] israel941:
That's what I meant. They don't cut you off per se, they just make it unbearably slow for the rest of the billing cycle after 5GB
[Vibrant General] Ilmoran:
I haven't tried today, but yesterday I was able to do it just fine. JI6 and AP for JI6. If I get a chance to try it today, I'll let you know if it's still working for me.

I do think I remember seeing another thread with a similar problem, not sure if it ever got resolved.
[Vibrant General] felix.akinyemi:
Same thing happened to me but tmobile said there was maintenance in my area. I haven't tried it this morning to confirm its working yet.

--
[Vibrant General] israel941:
Ya, I'm sure it isn't everybody or there'd be a **** storm in the forums. I'm just wondering if maybe tmo looks at the rate of data condones consumed and figures the high rate must be tethered and somehow blocks that traffic?

Hoping that's not the case and I just need to change some connection settings.
[Vibrant General] israel941:
You were able to get a data connection on the phone, though? I don't see how tower maitenance (or any other kind) could affect only the tethered device...
[Vibrant General] felix.akinyemi:
I was till about 1:30am today. I had 3 bars but no 3G or E icon on top. I couldn't use data at all on my phone but I could call and txt.

--
[Vibrant General] israel941:
That's totally different, and makes more sense. In my case, data on the phone hasn't at all been an issue - just my pc when it's tethered to my phone.
[Vibrant General] Allen K:
Does anyone know if T-Mobile allow tethering with regular data plans with up to 5 gigs, or do you have to pay extra?
[Vibrant General] israel941:
FIXED

Tethering is technically against t-mobile's T&C, however, they are really pretty lenient about it. In fact, as a rep, we used to help people set up their blackberries to tether until recently. That's the way it should be, I think. Let me use my data access and if I reach the throttle point in a couple hours and have it throttled the other 29 days, that should be my call.

Anyway, that's a tangent. Good news is, I downloaded barnacle and selected "skip wpa_supplicant" in the settings and it's working great now. Not sure what the issue was before since samsung's mobile ap DID work fine for the last couple months. ::shrug:: i can return to "abusing" my t-mobile web access now. :D
[Vibrant General] Allen K:
Good to know... I saw there's "Wireless Tether" app or something like that, which I'm guessing basically makes your phone a Wireless AP... has anyone tried it?
[Vibrant General] tribalb:
Wait up...cap is 5gb. Last month I heard cap was 10gb
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
5gb now for phones. Starting the 16th
[Vibrant General] axion68:
If I am under contract can I get out of my contract at no charge since they changed their policy?

I would like to switch carriers, I only get 20-300kbps in my area on 3g and it keeps getting worse.
[Vibrant General] inverseflux:
I ran into this issue attempting to run the JI2 MobileAP on JI6(and JI5), but I've not attempted to run JI6 MobileAP on JI6 for fear of having the same issue.

To get around this, I USB tethered off my phone and setup and adhoc on my laptop using that connection for others to connect too.
[Vibrant General] Jhnboy:
I thought it was 10 GB?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Is the throttling back an automatic thing? I pulled in a bit over 10gb this month and haven't experienced any slowdowns (right now I'm pulling 5.5mbps down and 1.3mbps up).
[Vibrant General] kboater:
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mobile-reducing-data-cap-will-throttle-speeds-after-5gb-of-usage/

supposedly on the 16th after 5gb data speed will be slowed, before it was 10gb
[Vibrant General] ahedgpe:
Bear in mind also that the throttle limit (10gb now/possibly 5gb later on) only applies to the data you have used when connected with 3g/Edge. Wifi is a wonderful thing when tethering!
[Vibrant General] m509272:
Why would you tether something when there's wifi? Are you referring maybe to a laptop with no wifi capability? If not, what am I missing?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Why would I tether if wifi were present? The 10gb I cited is a figure I found from logging onto my TMo account; I don't think they can track your wifi usage anyway (well, they _could_, but it would require some secret logging app).
[Vibrant General] m4r10:
Yes. I have it installed and it works on JI6.
[Vibrant General] KooolaNL:
the wifi is being created by the tether phone app i think

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin217:
hey guys, quick question.

in titanium backup there are options to backup your apps and there are options to back up your "system data", or both at once.

what is this "system data"? is it your game saves a such, or something else?

thanks for clarifying!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
I believe system data is the data for the actual rom. I don't back up system data since I'm always changing roms. Last thing I want to do is mix up rom data. :eek: I just back up apps and data that would be your saved games, past sms,mms, etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbu:
Yeah, what he said. You can run into a lot of problems trying to restore system data while flashing between roms.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
Actually I backup some of the system data a lot, cause it saves your bluetooth pairings, wifi-settings, dictionary..It's pretty helpful when switching ROMs. You obviously can select what things you do want to back up or not when running the batch.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin217:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mib1800:
I think the consensus is that our Galaxy does not really have a "good" battery life. But how bad is it really?

Can you share your experience with regards to real life in terms of % drop during active use and non-use? (pls dont give built in battery stat/usage which I think is pretty useless for comparison)

Pls try to keep to following format so that readers can gauge their phone battery life:

===================

Phone: SGS I9000, DXJG4, voodoo lagfix 3.0, non-root, 3G+background data+Sync(gmail)+Location(wireless)=ON, BT/GPS/Wifi=OFF, auto-brightness, live wallpaper, Friends+weather+stock widgets update hourly.

Stand-by (overnight): 1.46% drop per hour (i.e. approx 12% drop over 8+hrs)

Active use: 23% drop per hour (3G web surfing with Opera Mini)

===================

Phone: Iphone 3GS, 4.02, non-JB, 3G+Push/sync(gmail)=ON, wifi/BT=OFF, auto-brightness.

Stand-by: 0.7% drop per hour

Active Use: 19% drop per hour (3G surfing with Opera Mini)

====================

Phone: HTC Touch HD (WM6.1), 3G+PULL gmail (15min)=ON, wifi/BT=OFF, auto-brightness, Sense UI (all widgets manual update)

Stand-by: 0.9% drop per hour

Active Use: 25% drop per hour (3G web surfing with Opera Mini)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
The problem with this, is that batteries aren't equal, some people are using possibly counterfeit batteries, and some people batteries might not be calibrated.. Maybe it would be better to run the battery down to 0%?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
if having issue with your battery and your rooted just run the command to remove /data/system/batterystats.bin then the reboot command with ADB it will improve your battery big time... this should be done when the battery is low like 10%..I did this and it took it from 10% to 38% and I got almost a 1/2 more out of my battery..

when ever you flash Roms you should clear the batterystats.bin.. when you reboot the android system will make a new file.

adb shell
su
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Just to set up the expectations here, its not always that clearing the battery stats work.. its just a history of the usage anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
depending on roms etc.. i had from 1% / hour issue battery drain to barely 0.3% per hour drain both in idle / stand by of course (it lasts forever on JPK in 2G on standby for example)

don't know what really causes the 1%/hour bug :rolleyes:

in use i couldnt tell but i feel like it uses more than other phones unless you're watching black ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KaliKot:
Apple has really good standby battery consumption on all their devices but SGS Probably has among the best battery life during active use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mib1800:
I know it is quite the "norm" to have a 1-2% per hour drain on standby with 3G and sync on. I had the same drop using JF3 and the later JG4 firmware. There is no diff before and after lagfix.

I am not too bothered about standby drain but I am quite unhappy with the active use drain of 23% per hour.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
If by active, you mean typically a form of internet or communication a lot of that blame goes on the application and consumer, we can't have high expectations for battery life from a 4.0" that is producing white backgrounds. A comparison to a 3.5" device that uses an LCD screen is just flat out unfair, there are other devices that you could compare to, say Droid X, which will also have better battery life, but that also doesn't really give more of a right to complain.

I'm surprised that there isn't better access to white on black internet reading, much like how the e-readers are set up. Is there nothing, does dolphin or mozilla have anything like this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Right now I'm using 10% per hour using it as Mp3 player. Thats what juice plotter tells me. Using OCLF ontop of Voodoo lag fix under JM8 . I'm going to flash JPM tonight and just use OCLF as Voodoo isn't working with Froyo YET. But seriously the phone flies but battery life is unacceptable. When I use 3g to browse its like 20+% a hour minimal. I blame lag fixes as voodoo is known to kill batteries

battery drain

Wow! yesterday when I went to bed I had 72% full battery on my new galaxy s and this morning I found my telephone dead with 0% battery. the phone has standard XXJM1 firmware the only thing that I did is rooting. Yesterday I have installed Navigon, Igo, and Timeriffic on this phone, I also have setcpu running there. There were no issues before yesterday though, so I assume setcpu has nothing to fo with the problem. Any one has similar issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
Well I don't have anything like your setup (jm8 + voodoo-oc + doc superslim here) but I believe I was experiencing a similar issue and it was not related to voodoo (checked the indicators listed on project-voodoo.org)... Maybe that is setcpu. You might want to try that because I have none of the other apps you listed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fraencko:
I recently experienced similar issues and found out about some apps that prevented my phone from going into standby state or constantly smoking CPU time. Those were Tango and SwitchPro Widget, I'm not sure about Skype. Uninstalled all of them and now everything's fine again.

I suppose you have issues with apps gone crazy, too, as a battery drain to this extend is very unlikely to be caused by a lagfix or something like that. Suggest you uninstall recently installed apps one by one and see if the situation improves. If you have some 3$ spare, consider buying SystemPanel -> hxxp://goo.gl/aUxO which does a great job of monitoring your android system for CPU huggers.

Please share your experiences.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brack11:
I dont have any of listed apps installed, so, in my case it's something different.

I also have thoughts about SetCPU and I revealed another problem - I setup profile in SetCPU for screen off event to limit CPU to 200Mhz and turn on powersave mode - this caused my phone stuck in sleeping mode, only battery-out would solve the issue, I have corrected this profile to 400Mhz-200Mhz and conservative mode, so far no second issue. Will see after overnight.

Well, the battery on Galaxy S goes very fast, will look for other solutions to longer battery life. I want it to be at least 2 days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
I had some high battery drain issues with the 'root' part of OCLF. I uninstalled it and installed voodoo and it seems to have gone away now. Battery life is definitely a little better than my Desire.

Btw, someone mentioned running only on 2G. How do you do that? I havent been able to find any option to disable the 3G radio (messing the apn settings doesnt turn off the radio...does it?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roxazz:
my opinion

SGS is the best android phone because of battery.

compared to desire sgs holds 4 times more when surfing the web.

i allways foget to disable gps, wifi, i use full screen light. and it holds 40 hours always. im realy happy with that. had g1 before and the best was if it hold from morning to evening, but if much of use it lasted in 4 hours.

my frien has desire. he disconnects charger in the morning, and connects in the evening.

I'm really curious on how you manage to have 40hrs battery life. My SGS only have 18hrs tops, and that's with what I classify as conservative usage. Most of the time it only lasted 12-14hrs. So please do share some tips and tricks if you have some :)

( oh, I've set the screen to the lowest brightness setting, I don't use live wallpaper and use a dark colored wallpaper to conserve battery)

I think the battery life is ok on sgs. I use it only on 2g and for me it last like 4days. If i activate 3g then it laat like 2 days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vigge_sWe:
I haven't really cared much about battery life, as I always can charge it overnight, but with default firmware and TweetDeck checking for new updates every minute, the battery usually lasts for 3 days with moderate usage. Although I shutdown the phone overnight between 23-07, because I can't really see why you want it on when you sleep... 3 days is ok for me, as I always have the charger in my bedroom and I can just plug it in any night

I struggle getting a 8 hour work day. I have a charger ay work in the car and of course at home. It charges over night. I text allot, facebook a lot and often use gps while driving. Its not as bad as my old nokia n97 but not far off. Its is not good enough. Its a smart phone. A pc on my pocket. I expect it to last from when I leave home at 7 to when I plug our in at bedtime. No matter the usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madmack:
I text moderately, listen to music, read web pages and play some games during the day. I can't help but notice though that the battery performance in froyo is much worse than eclair.

I can make my phone last with eclair from morning til bedtime, sometimes with 3% remaining and other times with %25. with froyo though, I don't stand a chance.. I can't use the phone as much as I do with eclair and my phone barely makes it if at all. sometimes if am lucky I'll plug it into the charger at night when it has less than 2%. mostly though, it goes dead about two hours before I go to bed. that's with me "minimizing" my usage.

stock froyo, no lag fixes.. so can't blame it on that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] allotrios:
4.5 days with medium phone usage but only wifi on demand and having the mobile apn disabled

battery is not a problem with this phone

if you live in a bad 3g coverage area and have set the network type to auto (2g/3g) it will kill your battery

you are better off fixing it to either pure 2g or 3g

this is the case with any phone

Are Edge networks bad for battery? I am outside 3g coverage at work and so it connects as Edge.
