[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctpthanh:
Hopefully, we can have official 2.2 updates to see what improvements, but customized ROMs on this fourm are really impressive and worth a try.

About the lag fix, I do not try one so can't say much. From what I read (on this forum offcourse), lag fix means changing the way to store data, let's say FAT32 vs NTFS. However, flashing ROMS usually requires disable/remove lag fix. Moreover, I don't think my phone slow at all.

On the other hand, I don't want to disappoint you but there is one more bad point I should say. That is the very weak Wifi signal. At the same position, the Nokia E63 and Motorola Milestone have stable signal, while the Vibrant cannot reach the same Wifi or usually disconnect.

oh ok i see. well for what i am hearing they are saying u guys might not get the update till 2011. that would suck but this is what samsung does best. they take forever to keep there devices up to date. but there is hope since they are going with google to make the nexus s that they might jump straight to android 2.3 but thats not a fact but u never know.

Hi! I'm having issues with my battery. When I turn on wifi or 3G the battery meter % runs like mad towards 0! I have a program called JuicePlotter that shows a graph that scares me!

With wifi on, not using it heavily, it sucks a lot of battery. How much battery is it draining for you?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Let's put it this way:

1. Got the Vibrant at launch

2. A few days later started looking towards improving it - screen was nice but it was soooo slow at times to get to the task at hand.

3. Found XDA

4. And now a few months later I am not looking back :)

Ive searched this forum and a couple others with no success...

I have a phone running Froyo and I want to goto the lock screen without the screen turning off and having to his a button to turn it back on...

Ive only had this phone like 3 days but it is bothering me. I used to have a Samsung Omnia and when I locked the screen it would just dim and stay on for another 10 mins (My setting to timeout)

Is there any way to do this on an android phone?? (Droid X if it matters but I dont think it should.)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] uub11:
i don't think he will be able to do that because he said it won't launch so he can't even get past the expired screen on android, i had that issue and wasn't able to upadte to the newer launcher.

What i did was in windows look for another kind of launcher like open home and make sure it is in .apk format, then you go to your storage card and go to the andboot folder/Androidapps folder and put the file here. Before you run haret click on the right soft key and choose apps. Look for the launcher you downloaded and put a check by it then run haret. when android boots up it's going to ask which launch you want to use and you select the new one. Then i would install Titanium back up if you don't already have it and uninstall launchpro then do the upgrade posted above.
[G1 Android Development] salsavirdi:
Hi guys,

I bricked my G1 recently and am going to try to Unbrick using the guide on cyanogen's wiki.

One requirement is the debug serial cable, but here in India I haven't been able to get my hands on the ExtUSB breakout. I do have a mini usb breakout. Could I use that instead?

The pins I need are:

1 VCC

2 Ground

3 tx

4 rx

The pins available on the mini usb breakout are:

A +5V

B -Data

C +Data

D N/C

E Ground

Pretty obviously:

1 -> A

2 -> E

Goggling tx and rx, I think they mean data in and out but not sure. Anybody have any advice?

ExtUSB is backwards compatible with mini USB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus

I have several mini USB cables, some with a Type A male connector on the other end, others with a wall plug end, and still some with the cigarette lighter adapter end. They all work with the G1. The 2 extra pins on the ExtUSB are for sound only.
[G1 Android Development] zzrssh:
Ah, when I saw serial I thought, "why is he calling a USB cable by only part of it's name" (universal serial bus). I misunderstood the post and did not think he was talking about an actual serial/RS232 connection.

So as to try to contribute something to OP, have you tried looking at this? http://www.instructables.com/id/Android-G1-Serial-Cable/
[G1 Android Development] smtncrc:
I was doing some study connect my serial GPS (gives TTL level serial signals) to HTC P3400 WM. Found out about G1 cable in instructables and other materials that explained how to use serial ports in HTC mobiles. I came across a very cheap "adapter" in a roadside shop in Chennai - one end of this one goes into the mini usb and the other end provides a 3.5mm stereo audio jack. I grabbed one of them and surprised to find that it did not have the moulded rubber connector. I opened the plastic case and found that I can easily solder pins 7,8 and 9. I will be testing this over the week end!

Changing is unavailable

... The best way to have Android on your HTC HD2, is by accessing it through .haret. You cannot change the entire software to Android. By installing a ROM on your SD card, it can give you access to Android, and therefore using that interface as much as you want. It drains battery according to the CLASS generation of your SD Card, and as well, Android will not be to its 100% potential.

[G Tablet General] skyhawk21:
When lower volume tones play or any audio through speakers that is not loud, speakers have static. Also speaker on left of tablet is quieter than speaker on right side of tablet.

Every once in a great while tablet powers itself off. Or its own apps that are installed by default have FC issues. After it goes into standby, wifi resets itself and takes a minute to reconnect. Wifi signal strength stock is very good!

have not tried headphone jack yet!

Also this is a big one... The built in microphone when recording any kind of audio has a low sensitive volume level. If the tablet is half a foot to a foot away from your face the microphone picks you up and records but the sensitivity is so low when you play it back you can barely hear it. Same goes for yahoo messenger using it for voice or video chat. If you put the microphone hole on bottom of tablet right by your mouth like an inch or so away, then it picks you up good and clear and is audible when you play it back or voice/video chat. Then this defeats the purpose because the tablet is to close to face to use the camera and mic up close at the same time.

Anyone else have these issues on their tablet?

thanks!

any fixes?

P.S. battery seems to drain pretty quickly while in use and also in standby mode probably since the wifi is having issues and not power saving anything. I do not know if this thing can go 8 hours or so watching a movie unless wifi is off and everything else is not running in background!
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
I'm not sure what the issue may be with your battery but I've had two of these and have gotten nothing but excellent battery life stock or otherwise. I would really look into seeing if something is hung in the background. I just took a flight and watched a movie and still had over 90% left afterwars and most people are reporting the same. One user reported an issue with ' cell standby' milking his battery but I know rothnic removed that in the zpad .3 version rom.

Good luck.

[G Tablet General] Talk2Rider:
Yes, mine is the same way.

P.S. Did you get your ViewSonic beta tester T-shirt yet?
[G Tablet General] skyhawk21:
Not yet! I would like one though! ViewSonic has gone down the tube like most companys. They use to be a great company with A+ support for their monitors and lcd screens. For a tablet made in china with so many problems that they slapped their sticker on and sold, this is making them look like crap.

I do not understand how apps on android can force close themselves! It means it has to do with memory allocation or bad memory that fails crc issues...

Maybe since the tablet has 512mb of ram and androind 2.2 aka froyo is not made to work with tablets with dual core cpus and an nvidia gpu that apps and there cache+data are getting lost in all the available memory and cannot be recovered so they crash.

For a microphone installed into a tablet you would think it would be more sensitive meaning louder and more volume without over doing it. Also installing speakers correctly at the same exact location on each side inside of tablet. Also equalizing the volume for each one.

Of course I will probably be returning this thing back to staples for two reasons.

1. If I did not own multiple pc computers and laptops this would not work in their place since its so unstable!!!!

2. by the time if they try to get the software right, gingerbread/honeycomb will be out next year. With that os out and about of course the new tablets with dual core cpus and using nvidia tegra 3 or 4 chipsets will be available besides dual core arm processors with dual core gpu chipsets.

400 dollars is a lot of money to beta test a hardware tablet that is not capable of running an older os that does not support it. If out of the box you could play videos, listen to music, browse the web, install apps and they all work, and nothing crashes and the tablet can stay on 24/7 being used or in standby, then this might be worth something. It does none of these things even after using whatever custom firmware and software you can find because the base operating system files were made for phones not tablets or pcs. The crappy apple Ipad works so well because they finally got the IOS to not only support the ipad but to actually run stable under everything even on a tablet which is just a vblown up ipod/iphone.

At least samsung with the galaxy s made it look like a big phone in the hardware arena so all apps work! and its got a great screen!!! To bad its a 7 inch phone hahaha!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
Yes the SGS runs Android 2.2 after update (2.1 stock).

If it's worth your money or not is up to you, each phone is different. Compare and try them in a shop.

The SGS is sort of one step higher than the models you mention however. I would compare it to the HTC Desire HD and the Milestone 2 instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grayda:
Hi, the other day I dropped my Galaxy S I9000 on the concrete and shattered the digitizer. The screen still works alright and the touch portion of the screen still works 100%, but there's a few big cracks in the screen.

Optus want to charge me $150+ (I don't have insurance on it plus it's "out of warranty" because I flashed 2.2 on it) while a repairman in Melbourne quoted $150 neat (but couldn't do it because their main tech was away). I've seen a few sellers on eBay selling these parts for $99 with a mini toolkit but I'm not sure if they are the Super AMOLED that is in the original phone or just an LCD screen that may or may not have the same resolution or quality

Has anyone replaced the screen on an I9000? From what I can gather, the screen and the digitizer are one so you can't buy a digitizer only. I've also seen that the connecting ribbon on the phone is glued into place and you must be very careful when removing it.

Any thoughts are welcome. I can still use the phone just fine, but I don't want to risk any further damage to the screen.
