[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamoor:
Hi,

straight to the point...i want froyo for my galaxy s and a very good and stable lagfix with it but I don't know what ROM and lag fix to choose from and am very "noobiesh" at these kind of things.

Plus:i got voodoo lag fix and its great and I like the color and sharpness tweaks that comes with it so can I use voodoo lagfix with froyo??

So please can anyone tell me what to do exactly without any complicated mumbo jumbo??? DX
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Get JPO (the latest froyo) from samfirmware.com, and flash it using ODIN. (use vol down+home+power button when turning on your phone to get it into download mode).

In my opinion, no lag patch is really needed. Lag patches can cause long term maintenance issues anyway still (and you need to take more precautions, such as DEFINITELY keeping a copy of /efs if you use a lag patch). If you are consistently getting excessive lag in late roms, it might be because certain programs you have installed are causing problems (also consider trying launcherpro, or a stock launcher).

If you want a bit more speed, wait for Tayatuma to update his superlite rom, to use JPO rather than JPM, or wait for another AOSP ROM such as Cyanogenmod (AOSP is closer to the experience google wants us to have, rather than Samsung).

Ensure you use a i9000 rom too, and don't accidentally use a i9008 or other model one. Good luck, and remember, this is just my opinion. Also, don't get too caught up in Quadrant. It isn't accurate, and some people here SERIOUSLY (I kid you not), are selecting roms based on a difference of quadrant speed of only a few points (less than 5%).

Hello

Great looking forum, I havent had the time to browse yet but before i start i would like to know if it is possible to change the OS in a iPaq HX2410 "pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=143&c=hewlett-packard_ipaq_hx2410__hx2415" is anyone and if its possible where should i start looking.

I just started noticing that the proximity sensor seems to be having a difficult time keeping the screen off while I am talking. The screen flashes on and off but it seems to be only when its up to my right ear, which makes sense given the sensor position being offset to the left of the earpiece. No matter how I adjust the phone or press it more against my face, the screen wont consistently stay off during a call when its up to my right ear. I'm not sure if it was like this before the JI6 update but I sure didn't notice it before. It acts like it isn't quite sensitive enough. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Captivate General] CLgcsi:
if you did the froyo update i do believe this is a bug within it. I notice that when i call out it isnt doing it as badly as when someone calls in to me. Hopefully this gets resolved with the official froyo for our phone. I dont think there is any fix for this either.
[Captivate General] fooldog01:
Im running JH7 though, not JI6 (<-Fixed). So I am still on an official Eclair build. But if it is happening in Froyo too, then that's not very comforting. I wonder if there is a parameter buried somewhere in a service menu that controls the sensitivity.
[Captivate General] stuff:
i used the testing applications (dont remember the code for it) and when you put your finger near it, the screen would turn green and vibrate indicating it detected something.

Well, if you do it quickly, the screen will get stuck on green/vibrate even if nothing is still there. idk if they all do that, or this one sucks.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Are you sure you get JI6?

JI6 = unofficial Froyo build

JF6, JH7 = official Eclair build

There is no JH6.
[Captivate General] CLgcsi:
yea ji6 is the unofficial build. I noticed this too when i flashed it. One way of making sure this is something wrong with that build and not the phone would be to flash back to stock.
[Captivate General] fooldog01:
Sorry guys. I dont know what I was thinking. Im running JH7 OTA. I got it all screwed up. Didn't mean to confuse everyone. Im going to edit that post.
[Captivate General] fooldog01:
Do you know where I could find the code for that test? I just did a search for it but I didn't return anything useful.
[Captivate General] MaxRabbit:
I'm also having this quite irritating problem! Running the latest cognition beta.
[Captivate General] buddy17:
yup....i was rooted on JI6 beta, and now on the latest cog, and have had the problem. I don't really remember it on eclair though. Updated my gf's captivate to the 2.2 beta and when we talk, one of us ends up muted or hung up on. Between both of us having the same problem, it is inevitable.

This problem is AMAZINGLY annoying, and hope for a fix soon!
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
The Proximity Sensor is one of the few things that actually work on my phone.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
IIRC, proximity sensor is one of the common hardware defects on Captivate along with random shutdown, random button press and GPS.
[Captivate General] fooldog01:
I get the feeling that if you upped the sensitivity on the sensor (if possible) that the problem would go away. Then again, I don't fully understand how a proximity sensor works so I may be off base.
[Captivate General] buddy17:
i can't see that being the problem because even if you have it up to your ear, sometimes it still turns the screen on

Hello. I have a few questions.

I would like to install on my system omni android. is it possible?.

How do I change the default media player? Windows Media terribly happy picture: /.

What is now better than qwerty pda Omnia Pro B7610?

thanks in advance for your reply and sorry for my poor English ..
[Omnia II General] Nickg.:
you can't install android at the moment, see this topic android on omnia 2 in rom subsection
[Omnia II General] crowalex:
You have now Windows Media Player and Samsung TouchPlayer.

Windows Media Player is skined. You can find skin you liked.

Or use TCPMP or CorePlayer with skins.

TouchPlayer use hardware Samsung's processor's features, so it is the best for movies.

Is there any way to lock the phone in a 2G setting only? I know there are apps in the market, but they are just shortcuts to a non existent option in the settings menu. My phone drains battery exceptionally quick in class since it is always trying to find a 3g signal. I don't really need a 3g signal because all I use it for is texting. Dropping seventy percent in three hours is sort of ridiculous

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dark_dj27:
It took me a bit to figure out how to do it.... To get the other letters you have to go out from the letter you want then move your finger either clockwise or counter clockwise 1-4 sides til you get the letter you want.

For example to get a U slide your finger right like you would for an O then circle around to the side with the

S then back to the center. For Z you would go out from the center then make a complete circle. If that makes sense I'm not to great at explaning things... Its really fast once you figure it out and get used to it

hi guys i have been fiddling around with 2.1 for about 24 hours now and may have found a VERY simple lag fix :)

on the left page there is your quick settings bar tap on the brightness tab it seems that $ony didnt optimize the screen very well on my device it is using ALOT of power witch is really no suprise but hey hopefully this may "Fix" some lag problems until the very talented devs *cough* sarcasm *cough* over at $ony actually fix the problem

cheers guys

and i just want to say thankyou to all the devs that have been working hard on the bootloader and ROOT :)
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Wait what?

What does the screen brightness have to do with lag?
[XPERIA X10 General] brizzyboy:
I'm guessing power consumption to much going to the screen and not enough going to the cpu / gpu that's my theory anyways
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
The two are mutually exclusive. Neither affect each other.

Also, the quick way to test this is to just turn down the brightness and see if the phone is still laggy. It probably will be.
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
actually, when your phone starts to lag, if you use the app android info, alot of the cpu power, is going to the face recognition operation. Like around 60-70 percent cpu power. Which is weird that you cant disable it... when it isnt doing that, the phone runs buttery smooth. It starts on its own for some reason even with all my auto-syncs off :\ its worthless anyway, all the pictures it tagged were all wrong

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kpgalligan:
This is probably somewhat of a linux question rather than an ndk question, but I'll ask anyway. Anybody know how to read the low level touchscreen events? I'm still a noob with the low level linux device coding. I've done some successful hacking of this and that, but sort of need some example code.

Ideally I'm hoping there's an input file that's relatively filtered, so you can read x/y points from it directly (or something like that). So far I've found /dev/eventX to point to the synaptics touchscreen, but I have no idea what would be the next step with that, and I assume that's going to be very raw data coming in.

Any thoughts? On the Java end, the best I could find was dispatchTouchEvent in the Activity class. To get at a lower level of inupt, the next step would really be building a custom OS build (I guess. There's probably something far easier that I'm not aware of).

I also may try to backtrack through the android source to see how the system dispatches its calls. It has to be there, but as of now I can't find it.

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] Foggie is so Epic:
i know most people hate sprints apps. but some of them are useful.

like sprint zone, sprint tv, sprint football , and sprint navigation

because the google nav doesn't always work so well, and thinkfree office.

been looking for solutions. haven't been able to find any. can someone help .

right now im running the stock rom(only because it was sunday and i was using

the sprint football app) with the phoenix 1.49 kernel
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
There are a couple ways to do it. If you haven't flashed the new ROM yet, you can open up the Stock ROM with WinRar or 7zip and extract the apk files for the Sprint apps to your computer somewhere. Then open up the zip file of the ROM you wish to flash(with WinRar or 7-zip again), and insert them into the system/app folder. Then flash the ROM to your phone and your good to go. I do this every time I flash a new ROM because I play Asphalt 5 and it's not included in any of the ROMs.

If you're already running the ROM of your choice, then you will have to use adb to push the files to the system/app folder or use something like Root Explorer to copy and paste them there.
[Epic 4G General] Foggie is so Epic:
i am running a rom already... but i have no problem reverting back to stock... i cant find all the apks. so basically , unzip the rom ... put the apks in the system folder then creat another zip
[Epic 4G General] chino0131:
Easiest way would be to find a ROM Dev who has removed Sprint apps and provides them in a folder.

EDIT: I removed the link i posted. In the Devs post he had a folder labled as "Sprint Apps", but it actually takes you to a donwload for his ROM. If you can find the apks in a folder, back up your current set up, flash Epic Experience or one of those ROMS that places the removed apps in a folder on your SD, then restore back to your previous rom and set up. The removed apps folder will still be on your SD Card. You can then follow the below:

Download an app like ES File Explorer or Astro File Manager, open app, find and open, find the folder where the apps are stored, and push the apps. Done.
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
Text Football to 7777 and sprint will send you a link to the newest football app. For the other apps just get them from the thread here with all the stock apps hosted.

If you have a custom rom the football app may not update automatically and thus not work so you need to get the newest one. Its easy and sprint wont spam you after you send that text.

Hi everybody,

finally i've got my s200 cradle !!!

regarding my attached images, i should have receive a compatible cradle, in fact it comes from the hp ipaq 210 series.

as i did not receive the cradle i ordered, i decided to make some modifications, take a look to the attached images

it works great, the only thing u need is to have a compatible miniusb/activesync cable to be connected to ur computer:

the cable provided with the cradle was only able to charge the phone but no way to connect to the pc. Strangely, the same problem happened with the acer s200 stock cable!?!? (i'm on W7)

the only cables that worked for me comes from my external 2.5'' hdds seagate and toshiba

This cradle looks quite nice even if the phone is not completly centered in the dock

With the announcement that T-mobile will start charging $15 per month for tethering this month, does anyone know how this affects the HD2? I have installed the wifi tethering app that was in the European ROM and it works fine, but I was curious how T-mobile is going to detect/impose the tethering fee. Does anyone have any info on this?
[HD2 General] ManyPearTree:
I do not know of any technology that can detect a tether other than offiical carrier tether application. I doubt they could detect it because you are using a 3rd party app, so all cumulative data usage would be viewed as if it was just normal browsing/download etc. EDIT* : Normal browsing/downloading on the phones browser that is...just to clarify.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
From what I understand, the tethering package is going to be just for people that tether, IE, if your device isn't tethered, then you won't be able to use data...only if it is psyically tethered to a PC will you be able to actually access data.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
The HD2 should not be affected by this as it had tethering before this plan came in and it is intergrated into the OS. Tmobile typically grandfathers users in so since we all signed up for this data plan before this change came about, we should not have any issues.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
They can easily detect that you are tethering because of where the data is coming from.

When you use your phone's browser, most sites default to the mobile version because your phone is reporting what it is and what browser you are running. (although with IE for example you can tell it to preset desktop pages).

When you tether, you get the desktop versions of the site because your browswer is reporting a desktop OS and browswer and is presented with the proper page.

Just something to think about........
[HD2 General] d0ug:
For t-mobile to sniff your packets to detect that is likely against the law and there's nothing stopping you from editing the user agent string in your browser to make it look like a mobile browser

Its one thing for a customer to break TOS by tethering, at most you are breaking civil contract law, all TMO could do is terminate your contract or maybe sue you in civil court for breech of contract, they likely would not go that route.

However for them to start sniffing customers packets would be breaking CRIMINAL law

There is also nothing to stop a mobile browser from reporting itself as a desktop browser by user agent string to make a site load a "desktop experience" In no way is editing your user agent string against any kind of law!

The user agent string is really about the only way tmobile could detect tethering other than having a rigged tethering app, like it sounds like the android platform has. There is no kind of special flag set on TCP/IP packets that signify that they came from the phone or a tethered laptop, tablet, etc!
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
it is not against the law for t-mobile to packet sniff what goes on on their network. when you sign up for service, you agree to their terms........
[HD2 General] scooter247:
I could be way off but I don't think there plan is to charge for just using tethering. The data cap on the current plans are 5gbs and after that you are slowed to edge speeds. I think with the tethering plan it is for a much higher if not unlimited data cap.
[HD2 General] ncohafmuta:
I can confirm the tethering restriction is in place for me constantly now.

I have a hd2, tmobile usa, custom rom, using usb w/the Internet Sharing app.

i was just kicked off tethering tonight and all my desktop browser requests went to the tmobile 'you must buy a tether plan' page.

I disconnected, reconnected, same thing. I am nowhere near even 1GB in data usage this month.

Only way that's fixed it so far is changing my t-mobile data connection to use internet2.voicestream.com instead of epc.tmobile.com

t-mobile tethering

It seems they are regulating the user agents allowed to access their network.

One can change the user agent in Firefox with the plugin "user agent switcher"

Changing to a mobile browser assures access, but limits the browsing experience on some pages.
