Hardware Issue and Samsung lol

surprise
[Nexus One General] joshlusignan:
They are making it more plasticy.
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
Samsung's hardware is good that's not the problem. The problem is Samsungs lack of good programers. Their software sucks and lacks the quality, not the hardware.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
FFS people. There is NO HARDWARE PROBLEM.

Websites pulled that **** out of thin air, then when it became obvious it will be continuum instead of N2, they pulled another "news" out of their asses - "OMG wtf our super duper 007 secret agent source sent us a pigeon with a note that said N2 is delayed due to hardware issues."

FFS people stop believing all that crap that people post on the web.
[Nexus One General] :
You know a new galaxy device was just passed through the fcc right?
[Nexus One General] joshlusignan:
I have passed a few things that sometimes look like S's. :eek:

Seriously tho lets hope its not some cheap budget Galaxy phone. Do know of any details?
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
the Galaxy S has the cheapest feel out of all the Android phones I've held.
[Legend Themes and Apps] JonasDroid:
Since I couldn't find it in the market I've started searching XDA.

Here's a downloadlink

ONLY ANDROID 2.2

Works fine on CM6.1 nightly build 26

UI is really nice now :D
[Captivate General] artisticcheese:
I saw several posts suggesting that leaving WiFi on where you have WiFi connection helps you to save the battery which I'm finding pretty strange. I thought WiFi actually drains battery faster then anything else. Are savings due to the fact that WiFi is more efficient then 3G or does it actually holds true that it saves battery?
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
All things being equal, Wi-Fi uses less power than 3G. Wi-Fi radio waves don't have to go as far, so they're easier to generate. When Wi-Fi is on, 3G is off, so you'll save power if you're actually transferring data.

A lot of programs will initiate data transfers by themselves when connected to Wi-Fi though, so perhaps that is why some will notice higher drain when Wi-Fi is on.

Also, if Wi-Fi is left on and you are on the move, your battery will drain since your phone is constantly searching for available networks.

Unless you've changed the settings, however, when your phone's screen it off it switches back to 3G to handle data.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Yes, as Scotty said above me...

This however, is untrue. At least for me. I run the leaked 2.2 and my WiFi is always on at home, my data connection is never active. I check this by dialing *3282# and hitting send.
[Captivate General] nybmx:
When I have wifi switched on I lose around 5 to 10% an hour. With it off I lose 1 to 2%. I don't have anything set to sync differently via wifi. I only have a few apps that sync data and those are set to do so every 4 hours or so.

I have tried leaving it both on and off overnight to test this and every time I've left it off I woke up with a full battery. If I leave it on I have to charge again in the morning.

When I'm going out I turn wifi off so that my phone isn't constantly searching for signal.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
In the Wi-Fi advanced settings (Hit Menu when in the normal wi-fi settings), there is a Wi-Fi Sleep Policy (which specifies when to switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data)

By default, my device was set to 'When screen turns off'. the other options were 'Never when plugged in' or 'Never', I switched mine to 'Never'. You should notice that when you turn your screen on, the wifi icon doesn't show up right away. Of course, I'm on 2.1, so this may be different in 2.2, but check it out.
[Captivate General] SlappyMcGee:
For me, I get no cell signal in the building at work so I need to keep wifi on. If I turn it off my battery drains fast from the 3g radio constantly trying to lock on a signal.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
It depends in the quality of your 3G connection, but all things equal I have seen that using WiFi instead of 3G does save battery, when the WiFi is connected of course. Anytime a radio is constantly searching for a signal or trying to hold a weak signal, power usage tends to go up.
[Captivate General] drwx:
Check out Y5 Battery Saver.

This app turns your wifi on/off based on the cell towers that you are on. You just connect to wifi, enable the app, and it remembers what cell towers you were on while you were in range of that wifi location. as soon as you are off of those towers, it turns off wifi. to add new wifi locations, just disable the app, connect to the hot spot, and re-enable the app.

This gives you the best of both worlds. you get to save battery while you are using wifi and when you are out of range it doesn't continually search for new wifi networks to connect to.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Whenever I turn my screen on, my wifi icon is right there. No delay in it showing up. I don't remember ever changing the sleep policy when I updated so I believe this is the default behavior for 2.2
[Captivate General] pinoymutt:
+1 on Y5. There are a few other apps in the market that claim to do the same thing, but I think Y5 is by far the easiest to set up and works really well. Nice little utility so you don't have to keep remembering to turn off the wifi manually when you are out of range.

Now if I could just find a app that does the same for my bluetooth when it is near my car....but that I think is much harder to do without it actually polling. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
Blackberry Curve on the left

G2 on the right.

No flash in either case.

*edit*

It looks to be the camera application rather than the camera itself. Camera 360 (from market) gave me MUCH MUCH better images than the default Android camera.

*/edit*
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
My pictures usually come out sharp. That's weird..

Sent from my HTC Vision G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
This is zoomed in quite a bit.

It came out a lot better with flash, I'll put that one up next.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shibby80:
mine takes pictures just fine
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
well, I've taken probably 20 indoor photos and they all look like crap. None of them are focused well, and all over motion blur.

Possibly a bad camera?

Can I see a few examples of indoor photos?
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
perhaps you need to adjust lighting effects and try holding the camera for steady?
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
Short of mounting the camera on a tripod I can't get much steadier.

I've toyed with lots of options also. Give me some pointers on what to try.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shibby80:
i will admit the g2 you have to hold really steady to take decent pics
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Wow your pictures look kinda bad. Try to take some of other things and post back. Because my pictures look way better then those. Also are these zoomed pictures? there really is no need to zoom pictures because its digital zoom.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
They are cropped portions of the full-sized images, zoomed in to be about 150% of the original size.

I'll put up some other photographs later this evening.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
Odd, i've seen some 720p videos from a desire Z while someone is driving in a car and they look fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
Well, I think I have gotten to the bottom of it.

I took two almost identical pictures, one with my phone and one with a Samsung Moment. Samsung Moment has significantly higher image quality, and the image size was about twice that of my G2.

My guess is that the G2 is applying a significantly higher level of image compression...
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Took a few quick pics for comparison sake:

I could bust out the ol Incredible for comparison sake...
[G2 and Desire Z General] lorijuan1024:
try pushing the cam button halfway to focus and set option to auto instead of infinity
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
I appreciate your response, but honestly, I DO know how the camera works.

I think mine might be defective. It's also extremely foggy in a lot of situations.
[Desire HD General] nailmind:
Had any one else noticed their dhd freezing when using the youtube app?
[Desire HD General] Black1982:
Yes, it seems to happen when you press back key while in landscape. I uninstalled the update.

Yep same here had to pull my battery which isn't good cos battery cover is so flimsy . Uninstalled
[Desire HD General] dragon546:
Yeah I had this today. Thanks for the tip guys.

Really bizarre thing ran Quadrant with the update of Youtube got 1933

Uninstalled the update for youtube then ran quadrant again got 2057
[Desire HD General] jamieeeee:
Yeah i noticed the same problem, there are several comments in the android market that desire hd owners are having the same problem. i hope google will fix it soon:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sanjsrik:
Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct location, but I'm taking a shot.

I have noticed even after deleting AppBrain's cache and even uninstalling the program altogether, that sometimes, downloading an update just hangs. I moved the application from my SD card back to the device and noticed this disappeared.

Do applications in general run more reliably from the device or do they equally run fine from either the device or the SD card?
[Desire General] feroz2u:
can any pls tell me how to check the manufacturing date of htc desire.

firmware 2.1

baseband 32.41.00.32u

build number 1.21.405.2

serial number HT082PLxxxxxx

i hv bought htc desire from some one he told me that it is from Singapore.

i just want to know d manufacturing date.

i have a doubt dat this phone is debranded using gold card.

how can i check that...

pls pls help me
[Desire General] snowmobile:
I believe the HT08 at the start of the serial number indicates that the phone was manufactured in August.

Mine was purchased in March and is HT03.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Mines HT03, but im using the myTouch 4G port so it is that number.

Edit: Dont mess with drink/drugs and go on xda or youll make a fool of yourself like I did :p
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Nah serial number should be phone not Rom dependant? It is stored by HTC for each individual phone. Also it is not specified in build. Prop as far as I know.

On topic. I bought mine right after release back in march and I have ht03 so seams consistent :-)
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
My S/N is HT09 and my production date says 2010 09 with the Japanese kanji for month before 09 so it would seem to be the month as was said.

My production date is in kanji below the S/N, which is under the battery. May be a "feature" of the softbank X06HT(II) (Desire with SLCD screen)
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Yeah, ignore that, I was being utterly stupid :p Strangely thought it was March.. Was in a completely different world.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jayszbacc:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ryan123459:

No chance in hell. I think it'll be the dual screen phone.
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
It's going to be a Windows 7 phone for sure. Heard it from Microsoft.
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
First of all anything from "an anonymous tipster" has no place being considered as legitimate, even for a rumor. Second, there have been three Android Dev Phones, the ADP1, ADP2, and the Nexus 1. All three of these phones have been manufactured by HTC. Why would they change now? Third, anyone who is keeping up with android news knows the Samsung Continuum is Samsung's next android phone, and it hasn't been announced yet. Also if look at the picture on the event invitation it shows Android icons on top of a stock ticker, one of the callout features of the continuum second screen. Even if i'm wrong about them announcing the continuum Nov. 8'th (which I very well may be) I know that i'm not wrong about them NOT announcing this Nexus 2 or Nexus S or whatever the believers want to call it. The CEO is more likely to get up on stage and poop a unicorn.

[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Shut up adrynalyne;-) love u man. Jk. Fyi supposedly someone at gizmodo played with it. U know the guys who found the iPhone 4 on the floor that was........not fake. It might be real. But its likely not what they r releasing on November 8. Whatever wouldn't surprise me if they our out a phone with gingerbread and can't give me ****ing froyo
[Fascinate General] bbeaulieu:
You could at least wait until it's released, so then we'll actually know if this will help development. We don't actually know if this thing exists (despite what Gizmodo says) yet or what hardware is inside it (it's not a Galaxy S phone if it's the Nexus Two considering Galaxy S phones have TouchWiz built in), so this is basically not helpful at all.
[Fascinate General] leepriestenator:
@OP... I understand why you might have thought this belonged in the Dev section, but the truth is that this is at best, hearsay, and belongs in General.

Thread cleaned & moved to General.

@everyone else... Personally, I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to flaming and being rude. If you think a post / thread does not belong in a particular section or that it is redundant, use the "Report Post" feature to bring it to my attention instead of starting a war.

KEEP IT CLEAN!
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
Yeah, just because Gizmodo says "one of our friends" got a hands on with the device doesn't mean it's real. It's all still rumors. I could say my wife's, brother in law's, step brother works for samsung and he said it's going to be the continuum. doesn't make it fact, or even any more likely. I stand by my analysis.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I'm actually using the device right now thank you. Google and Apple designed the phone together, and commissioned Samsung to build it instead of HTC. They are banding together to fight WP7.
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
I stand corrected. If Daswolven says its true it must be. He has a reputation for being a straight shooter.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:

[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
I have been patrolling the forums trying to find a solution (or at least a thread similar) to my problem. I made the move from the G1 to the Vibrant in Aug. I was spoiled by it so it feels. I've grown quite custom to my Bluetooth devices being remembered by my phone, and not having re-sync them everytime i want to use them. I'm wondering if there is a fix for this, or is this apart of the Vibrant framework and i just have to get over it? Has anyone else been experiancing this? :confused:
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
Help

Speak now or forever hold your piece. This is a huge nerd farm and im sure we can all put our heads together.
[Vibrant General] Ilmoran:
Are you talking about pairing or connecting the device? I only have one bluetooth device with my phone, and the phone has no problem staying paired to it. I do have to reconnect it when I turn on bluetooth, but that's all.

To clarify:

I turn on bluetooth.

My headset is shown on the devices list.

I press it once and it connects.

Device is ready to use.

Once, the device didn't show in the list while BT was off, but when I enabled BT the device was displayed.
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
What i mean is, I normally have more than one BT device connected. More specifically my BT headset, and my car BT stereo. I used to be able to have both devices remembered in my device list. But now my BT Headset is the only remembered device (and sometimes, it too will disappear. Now i constantly have to re-sync my stereo. However when a re-sync is needed, i don't have to pair the devices.

On my G1, this was not an issue. So any ideas?
[Vibrant General] chui101:
I have my laptop, headset, and stereo headphones paired to my phone. Haven't had any problems, they all remember fine. However, I sometimes have to disable and re-enable Bluetooth because I have a custom name for my device, and sometimes when the phone boots it forgets that it has that name and goes back to calling itself SGH-T959. I don't know if this is related... just throwing it out there.
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
This does help a little. Perhaps because I am still stock, I am having this issue. What ROM are you using?
[Vibrant General] chui101:
I've had the problem on stock JFD, JI6, and on Bionix with JAC Voodoo kernel.
[Vibrant General] lestat210:
I'm having the same problem with my car's BT system. I thought it was my car till I read ur post. What happens with me, is that the car (which should connect automatically) will say that there isn't a phone available. I will then open Bluetooth settings (on my phone) and see that there are no devices listed. After cycling the BT off then on, my car will show up again, and will connect......strange
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
Exactly my issue. So seeing how i am not alone in the issue, does anyone know a fix or how to resolve issue? It's not a BIG problem, bnut it is annoying to have to re-sync everytime i get in my car, (or send files from my iMac to my phone).
[Vibrant General] thecapoots:
+1 for the vibrant forgetting my bluetooth devices. I'll open my headset and I hear it say, "Ready to Pair". It's not a big deal, really-- all I have to do is turn bluetooth on, then turn it back off and all my devices repopulate. But it is an annoyance.
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
Ive tried that a few times, but it still yields no results for me. Any ideas.
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
so do we have any more suggestions from the nerd farm on how to resolve the issue?
[Fascinate General] rjbaran17:
I rooted and applied the 1200 voodoo kernel to the fascinate. I have noticed that managing applications is quite laggy and slooooow. What i mean, using launcher pro to setup shortcuts for the dock, it takes forever to load the applications to choose from ... happens on nearly every app that manages or has to deal with applications/shortcuts ... like folder organizer and desktop visualizer ... I also believe I noticed the lag when performing these functions before applying the voodoo rom. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
I've noticed the same issue on all launchers I've tried except the stock touchwiz launcher.
[Fascinate General] rjbaran17:
Are you saying the problem goes away after using the touchwiz launcher?
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
I only use launcher pro now , I never noticed the lag when I was using the stock tw launcher.

I just installed a new kernel and afterwards read about clearing the dalvik cache before installing kernels. Since I never did this should I clear it now, or do I have to clear it and then install the kernel?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Upstreammiami:
clear then install
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprow507:
Is this the same thing as "cleaning" the dalvik cache using Titanium or do you actually have to delete the entire cache folder?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
To be on the safe side i do it both in Titanium and then when i am in Clockworkmod, I do it in the advanced section too - by the way if you do not have partition done on your sd card u will see an E: error message. You can ignore that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprow507:
Thanks alot .... I did it the way you suggested and am rebooting now. I appreciate the help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoZZeR999:
For kernels, you want to delete the cache partition, kernel stuff usually isn't help in the dalvik cache. On Amon_Ra style, it's wipe cache. On CWM I think it's wipe cache partition (Don't know, have not used CWM in a while).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Cleaning in Ti only deletes unneeded files. Do this after you uninstall an app or two. Wiping in Recovery clears it out completely, so you'll have a longer next boot time while it's rebuilt. You only need to wipe it when changing to and from one of King's with HAVS.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzzSpidermanzzz:
So I don't need to wipe when updating Chads incredikernel?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
You should always wipe caches when swapping kernels, even it its switching kernels from the same dev. It takes like no time to do so why not? I've forgotten to and usually it makes no difference. Sometimes its just forced closed's until I can restart and do it right.
