Even how much you change the software in the phone it still is an sgs. If you install one app then its not stock anymore. You have change it. The same is with different tweak/fix. So your argument is flaw.

Every phone has it flaw. Either you live with it, fix it or buy a different phone.

Sgs 512 ram ?

I've read a lot about this question : why only 304Mb available out of 512.

I just want to say, this is boring me.

My laptop as 106Mb used by Xubuntu to run out of 512 so 406 free memory. My SGS as only 304Mb out of 512

THEN

you can't really close all apps running on your 304s, so an average of

170 more Mbs in the ass

by many tasks (especially google apps)

SO at the end, you only have 134 Mb for you ! :mad:

Thanks a lot for that commercial "swindle". [ yes I'm angry =) ]
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Maby. But you have all facts wrong.

Sgs don't have 512MB free user ram.

No phone has all memory available to the user.

If you want more ram use a custom kernel or flash jpu firmware.

Then you get 339-342MB ram.

Then you get over 170MB free ram.

That's more then you need.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
Can you please stop talking? Everything you say is either totally, or slightly wrong. How can you possibly say what people's ram requirements are? And as the professional debugger you claimed you were, you should know better than make assumptions.

In Android 2.2.1 btw, they have upped the RAM to 339MB again. My guess though would have to do with the way RAM is being allocated. On the SGS, Samsung is apparently just blackholing static blocks of memory (which would simplify the driver code dramatically, because they know exactly where the RAM can be used), whereas on other devices, they probably properly allocate it dynamically (which might allow it to be allocated at runtime). Such code would be more difficult to write properly (development though is develop first, optimise last). But that is a guess.

And once again, free memory is a waste, however, I doubt the reserved memory is being used efficiently. However, lets not jump to conclusions. You guys shouldn't bother with the "free memory" field at all. It is meaningless if you aren't an operating systems developer. All we should be looking at is how the device feels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Well you can look in a kernel and you see were the ram is.

Its no black hole .

You can argue about the ram. But fact is the phone has alt and there is very few program that will use that up.

Hi, I've tried to found some info about this and then decided to post...

Anyone found ways to:

1) Set the vsync to the tv when tv out enabled.

Really the tv out feature is useless without that... can't watch any video without watching out of sync lines :'(

2) Set the screen off, or brightness to 0 when the tvout is enabled, at least when watching a video, or the screen was inactive for a while.

The 1 is the most important... it's nice to have tv out, but without vsync and using PAL and NTSC photos look better on the sgs screen, and videos/games has those out of sync glitches that I can't stand.

What settings is everyone using to get the most outta there desires hd battery!?

I know it will take at least 4 cycles to get the best outta the battery, but at the moment I can literally see the battery draining, its not good! I lost 30% within an hour and half! :0(

I'm using advanced task manager, and it never seems to kill all running apps straight away when I hit end all!
[Desire HD General] Smartmob:
1. Dont use task killers...it doesnt work with Froyo and it doesnt help...uninstall it.

2. Empty the battery to the 0% and leave it on charge when phone is off all night.

3. Turn it ON and use it untill it die again...then again turn it off and charge it for 3 hourse. Turn it on...its calibrated

4. Use 2G if you dont need 3G

5. Use max 70% of display light

6. Use only must have online update programs

Thats all...I did that on HD2 and I didnt have any problems for all day...and I used it normaly. In stand by it was 1,5% per hour... with mp3 was 10% in 1hour...etc...

Have fun! ;)
[Desire HD General] gibbo82:
How come task killers don't work? How do I stop apps from running in the background now then without a task killer? Won't this kill the battery more??
[Desire HD General] Smartmob:
No it wont...its like using a notebook... if you have notepad, browser, and solitair opened...but not working with them...they will not use your processor and energy...it will only use your RAM memory... And thats the same with android..BUT after some tome (for example 6hours) if you dont use some app...the phone will automaticlly turn the app off. And in any posiblle way you would never use more than 400MB of 765MB RAM ...so memory is not a problem :)
[Desire HD General] mazzuli:
My first post here on XDA so hi :)

Now, I'll just correct you a little. Your example was pretty much correct and a nice one, but Android OS doesn't kill tasks when amount X of time has passed. Android kills tasks when it needs more RAM (=when there are too many processes running), it kills the least used process. Android OS usually runs loads of different processes, the cool thing is that they don't consume any battery because they are not actually used. These processes are stored in the phone's RAM memory, whether there is something stored in the RAM or not, the RAM chip uses the same amount of electricty. Thus processes that exist but are not in any applications' use, don't consume battery. Therefore you don't need a task killer, in fact a task killer reduces your battery life because it kills the processes and then the phone has to restart them, and this cycle continues over and over. :)
[Desire HD General] gibbo82:
So which is the best way to come out of an app? Back button or the home?
[Desire HD General] mazzuli:
Both are as good, it makes no difference.
[Desire HD General] dazdenii:
I have found that turning auto sync off when not essential saves my battery quite a lot. If I need to check something ill refresh that app. Once I'm near a place I could charge ill switch it back on.

Just a suggestion. Try it and see how it goes for you..
[Desire HD General] SSJVegetto:
How do i turn off 3G and use 2G network? And how do i turn on 3G when i want to use it?

For some reason after a hard reset everything seems to work fine. Sms messages receiving in time (had installed task killer which i think made the problem possible) and all of a sudden 3G and HSDPA is available. So battery life all of a sudden is less to so how do i change this?
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
You can go to settings/wireless and network/mobile networks/network mode/gsm only

[Desire HD General] Black1982:
Welcome on XDA!

Do you have a source esp. regarding this piece?: the cool thing is that they don't consume any battery because they are not actually used. These processes are stored in the phone's RAM memory, whether there is something stored in the RAM or not, the RAM chip uses the same amount of electricty. Thus processes that exist but are not in any applications' use, don't consume battery
[Desire HD General] slc334:
Circle battery mod

This is still kinda on topic, but I find it's much easier to get a feel for battery life, or what's using it all up, if you have something that actually gives you values all the time. I have a circle battery mod, but a percent meter or widget is just as good. It's nice to have it in your face, instead of either intuition or constantly going into your settings to look up the value.

Just my two cents!:)
[Nexus One General] jiten2175:
Hi guys,

I've had my N1, I want to be able to flash CustomRoms eventually so here is what i have done so far . . .

1. 1 click rooted the phone!

2. Installed ROM Manager & Clockwork Mod Recovery..

thats it.

Now, i cant get into my recovery menu, after the nexus logo all i get is a blank screen.

I guess this is to do with the fact that my nexus may have a SLCD panel rather than an AMOLED one.

So does anyone know how i can get my recovery menu back? Iv tried every recovery image there is for the nexus one, none of them works...
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
This has instructions for returning to stock, or custom recovery (only Amon Ra 1.8.0.1 or 1.9 will work):

iv tired them both 'Amon Ra 1.8.0.1 or 1.9' images, still no picture and blank screen, i can now just hold power and ball to get back to the fastboot menu....
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Are you still rooted?

Download a root access app, and see if it works...

Edit: even better idea - what recovery does ROM Manager say you have installed?
[Nexus One General] jiten2175:
ok well now i never heard of Rom Manager, so i got it from the marketplace and and installed it to my nexus, ran it and install clockworkmod 2.5.1.0... im testing if this works now... nope dont work of course... Oh and iv got android 2.2 FRF91
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
You've never heard of ROM Manager??!!

You're OP said you were using it??
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Don't install Clockworkmod recovery, I've already told you what's compatible...

My guess is that you didn't successfully install 1.8.0.1 or 1.9

I'm just trying to confirm that, by seeing which recovery you do have installed...
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Well, I'm pretty sure you have the wrong recovery now. Can you confirm you have root access (pretty sure you do)?

Once you're sure you have root access, try again with Amon Ra 1.9

Use the BLIND method here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Recovery_Images#Installing_a_Recovery_Image

Once you think you have 1.9 installed, confirm by booting into recovery.

If you still get a black recovery, re-confirm your installation with ROM Manager (but don't use ROM Manager for anything else).
[Nexus One General] jiten2175:
Hi, yeah i only got my nexus today, and thank you for your help, i always tend to work out something so simple in a long period of time, i have managed to load an recovery menu - Amon Ra 1.9 :) perfect thank you
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Great!

Since you have the SLCD, you will also need a compatible ROM. So take care what you flash...
[Nexus One General] daijizai:
ROM Manager is not the best way to flash a custom recovery... Now that it has messed up, you may have to unlock your bootloader to flash recovery...

Try putting the phone into bootloader, prep the recovery by putting it in your SDK/Tools drectory and running

fastboot boot recovery.img

This should get you into recovery... From here you SHOULD be able to reflash your phone...

You can also unlock the bootloader and try

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Nexus One General] kn78hmc:
I ve been the same problem... It comes from the recovery img which doesnt be the good version ... The AR 1.9 works for me.

I couldnt flash the recovery from adb cause my bootloader wasnt be unlock...

There is a method u can use to flash the recovery from sdcard image. U dont need to unlock the bootloader.

I want to know if someone has the original recovery image for my FRF91 ... if I want to make it back on my phone.

thx for help.

So slcd users are not "allowed" to have the awesome choice of roms and recoveries ? :(

Can it change in the future ? I read somewhere that even CM6 was not compatible with slcd :/ !?!
[Nexus One General] cestbibi:
Hey guys sometimes you want to do some searching :rolleyes:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785581
[Nexus One General] Sakem:
That's what I did cos it's the only solution and took a nightly build to avoid 1h to install.

I was just pointing the fact that there's a nice lazyfriendly tool called rom manager to avoid boring adb lines and recovery manual installs and that if one day slcd users can use it, it could be cool ^^

Even on the 10/15 nexus roms around, you have to install it one by one to know if they are compatibles or not, most devs dont specify it, and I don't want to read 100 pages to find it.

I know there are more amoled users than slcd but slcd nexus are nexus anyway :o

-Disconnect cable when the message "Disconnect USB from PC" is display on your phone

-Plug it in powerless PS3 (FAT should be turned off from the power switch, SLIM’s power source should be disconnected) once Xandroid is booted.

-PS3 Power on and eject button ritual (It should be 2-3 beeps when eject button is pressed, else you'll have to switch off PS3 and start the ritual again)Also make sure that nothing else is plugged into another USB port.

-PS3 will take 3-5 seconds before showing up anything on the screen.

[G2 and Desire Z General] deliberate187:
Here is one observation I have noted in my exploration. The root filesystem and system partition are mounted with the flags "-o ro,relatime" but in addition the /system partition has ",errors=continue" leading me to believe that this change is in fact written to the release configuration rather than to the eMMC itself. Can anyone try to get a permanent write to the fstab and see if this can net us permanent root? Possibly take a temp root session and remount the system and / filesystems read/write to see if writes stick... just an idea.

The errors=continue flag allows the ext3 filesystem to continue working even if there was a read/write error.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stevencpoynter:
I've been able to get the system to change to r/w a couple times while wandering through root explorer. I have made subtle changes to certain folders such as moving txt files but nothing has ever been permanent. I can't really tell you how I did it either seeing as I can't replicate it on demand...I'm assuming it still gets written to cache despite being in the /system

heyy, I'm not punchie, I've got what the doctor calls a relaxed brain
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliberate187:
I am thinking there should be a set of adb commands to unlock the nand. I am definitely thinking a nand dump and full disassembly of the bootloader and recovery image could be absolutely crucial in discovering what needs to be done. Just a thought, has anyone done a nandroid backup of the G2 yet? I'm pretty sure TMob doesn't have HTC encrypt its bootloaders...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ultma75:
if you can figure it out, go for it :D and i wish you luck
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
If it were only this easy.

Re-mounting /system as r/w is part of the rooting process. This does not result in changes written to eMMC. In fact, the controller "lies" to Linux that the change has been synced. From then on, Linux holds the changes in its cache which, when dropped or rebooted, reverts changed files to their original state (because they were never written in the first place.)

The ext3 continue on errors thing is merely a way to skip fsck in the event that the read-only system has issues in the journal (very unlikely to happen, since nothing can write to it.) Presumably, this only covers an oversight in OTA updates (where the journal of the image provided by the OEM is dirty for some odd reason.) Again, since nothing can write to /system, it's all but an impossible scenario (nothing can write to the journal either...)

As for marking "sectors" as write-protected or not, that's also easier said than done. Entire partitions are locked, and half of the space is mysteriously "missing." It's difficult to see what's really going on from userland, as the device is deceptive as to what is and is not being written, or what is even stored on the eMMC in the first place.

The real solution is to exploit either the boot-loader or eMMC (re)/initialization somehow to allow a) unsigned firmware to be loaded and/or b) allow booting without write protection, allowing us to c) flash rooted rom to the phone and/or d) disable said protection. The unlock procedure will likely be similar to Unrevoked, as that is essentially the same situation (aside from the controller issue.)

All of this is covered in the wiki and various threads - check those out, if you find a way around it everyone would be glad to hear it.
