[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZeTortue:
I just would like to share what happened to me until now because I know that many people have troubles with the GPS.

When I was with Eclair, the GPS precision was under 50m but it didn't manage to fix satellites. It could see between 4 and 6 of them but it could rarely fix it. I even called Samsung Customer Service but they told me I needed the 3G to use my GPS otherwise it couldn't work...:confused: I changed the GPS settings of my phone as some tutorials showed, I also tried GPS optimisation and GPS Booster Lite but nothing worked and even after 20 or 30 min, it couldn't get the fixed satellites.

I used in my conditions : outdoor, indoor, in train, in car, by walking in several countries (France, Germany), with clear sky, cloudy, etc. But the resulst was the same : NO GPS. Even after more than 15 min of waiting... :(

Then I updated to Froyo last Monday. I tried my GPS again. The result was the same : 7 satellites but no fixed ones. (outdoor, in the train with hard rain).

BUT, on Wednesday night I tried (clear sky, in the city) and I even managed to get 10 satellites! After that i got 8 or 9 fixed satellites. :eek: I couldn't believe it. I changed nothing for the GPS settings of my phone. (The only difference I formated the phone on Monday night I installed all apps on Tuesday, I don't know if it has an impact or not...)

Then I tried in the train of the same day : 8 fixed satellites and they still get fixed. I try to restart my phone to check if it is still working after that, but it does. I tried in a car too and it worked. And even at my home but stuck to the window I could get 6 fixed satellites whereas even before I couldn't get any fixed ones...

I tried this morning in the train and it got 5 fixed satelllites in 10 or 15 min whereas the sky was not clear at all.

So now I understand nothing. During the train it didn't lose the fixed satellites, even when I went through several long tunnels, it could find me even so. Everytime the precision was under 15m. The mimimum I got was 5 m according to GPS status. I just hope it will keep on working like that. :D

The thing that I don't understand it is that for several months (I have the phone since July) it didn't work even if i changed the settings and even outdoor with a clear sky, but now it works even when it rains... Is it because I got Froyo recently ? :confused:

I am open to share my experience of GPS with you to know why it suddenly worked for me and if it suddenly works for some others of you.

PS : I have an unbranded Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) with Official Froyo 2.2 (JPA), no root, no custom rom, no lagfix.

PS2 : I checked my settings for the GPS and it is excatly the same as this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842694. All except the accuracy which is 50 for my phone, instead of 30 in the post. I think it is since the Froyo update. They changed the GPS settings. Before it was not that.

[Touch HD General] fdl_chris:
My power button has become less "clicky" like something is making it stick inside, or some part of the button has damaged or fallen out. It's very difficult to switch on/off the phone disply, because the buttom seems to have sunk or is stuck.

AFAIK, it hasn't suffered any bumps or knocks and is always stored safely in my pocket.

Any suggestions?
[Touch HD General] retsam88:
Probably small plastic bracket under external switch is broken. Don't know if you can replace only this part or whole button.
[Touch HD General] fdl_chris:
So, how can I check this to see if this is really the problem?

Any disassembling guides for the Blackstone (good ones)?

What else could the problem be? The external switch looks fine, but I can't really get a good look under it.

Problems with dirt/dust buildup?

Anyone else had such similar problems? Is it a common problem?
[Touch HD General] tsalta:
I think the same:)

Also all other Buttons are made the same way the Volume keye are easy to broke my volume Down have the same problem from many flashing etc

The litle black plastic just GONE :)
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Would have to agree with above, looks like the small plastic bracket under the external switch has broken

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungLikeAMidget:
This isn't a little rise in battery draining. This is an absolutely ridiculous spike in battery usage. I left my phone overnight, and it dropped from 90% to 37% within the 8 hours I left it sleep.

Is there anything I can do? This is stock JPO updated via Kies. Will changing ROM or Kernal fix this? Because quite frankly, I am sick of this. I can't take my phone out for the day without it dying on me.

As far as I can tell, it's not the sensor bug some people are experiencing, as I'm not seeing any suspicious usage in the battery history.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I'm seriously debating getting rid of the phone. I just can't keep it with this appalling battery life.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Turn off auto rotation and data connection (3G). That should improve your battery life siginificantly. You don't need to check your emails in your dream do you? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungLikeAMidget:
Thanks for the reply.

I have auto-rotation off as default. It is really plausible that data connectivity is consuming this much power? I never had this much battery drainage in Eclair, even with auto-rotation on, data connectivity on and with the screen at maximum brightness.

I've downloaded APNdroid and will see if turning of data connectivity will help, though I very much doubt it. I'll update here in the case that it does though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwhooftman:
Do you have a exchange account configured?

It's known to drain your battery at that rate when not set to "Push" (generic Wake Lock problem in Froyo)

Also, if you don't mind spending a few bucks, install System Panel app and let it monitor CPU, that way you'll find out which apps are the top battery users (while asleep, battery drain is fairly equal to cpu usage, so the top cpu-usings apps will be the drainers). I have 75% battery left after 10 hours of light usage with Bluetooth. Auto Rotation and 3G enabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungLikeAMidget:
The only email I use is Gmail, synched to my phone. I've noticed that a fair-few people are having battery issues with a number of suspected causes. The exchange email setting being one and the sensor issue being another.

Would flashing to a custom ROM fix this issue? Or would it still persist? I really wouldn't mind flashing to a custom ROM if it fixes this absolutely pathetic battery life I have at the moment.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reefy:

I had advanced task killer installed and was experienced battery drain..not as much as you but if it helps it al counts
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungLikeAMidget:
I don't use any form of task manager besides the stock one, which I use on rare occasions.

I'm really debating just trying to flash with any old ROM to see if that fixes the issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Are I using the ext4 lagfix? If so there's your problem there. Also to fix gallery bug you just need to root phone and use root exeplorer to copy fixed gallery.apk into /system/Apps. Putting new modded Tom won't fix it as thy mostly use old default gallery which has sensor bug. Look in search to find gallery3d.apk file

Sent from my Apple Newton 2100 running at 206mhz
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HungLikeAMidget:
I'm not using any lagfix at all. It's stock JPO updated via Kies. The only modding I've done to it is rooted it.

How would I go about checking whether or not the Gallery is the cause of the battery issues?
[HD Mini General] Venn007:
Hi All,

I have cheked the other threads on this problem and they are all to do with other phones and networks. I tried one and the problem still occoured.

HTC HD MINI -O2 Network

Sending mms photo at 100kb and it is comming back through at 2kb. problem seems to be (according to other threads) that O2 does not recognise my phone and so it is shrinking the pictures.

I am not a whiz at these sorta things, but I have to change the registry of something to something O2 will recognise.

Can anyone tell me how to do this please? I tried the nokia N95 one, but it did not work. Does anyone have a O2 HTC HD MINI registry name that I could change it too? atleast then it should work!!??

Also where can I get a registry editor from?

Hope someone can help!
[HD Mini General] brutaled:
I have the same issue +1
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
I suppose O² does not regognize your phone, because it is not in their database. You are not able to add the HTC HD Mini in their databases, but you can however contact O² and ask them what the problem/issue is. We can't solve that O² does not recognize your phone. Maybe there are tricks to edit something so your HD Mini is recognized as a Diamond2 or so.

[Streak 5 General] BrockFerens:
hello,

well i was/am a x10 owner my streak is in the mail will be getting it in a few short days, i dont really feel like going through all the forum am just wondering, is and if possible how easy is it to root the streak? and also any news on froyo. i am optimistic about my decision to choose the streak for the next 6 - 8 months until there is a few dual core phones available. what is everyones general idea on the streak, apart from it being a 5" phone, i mean performance, functualty wise.

Thanks,

Brock
[Streak 5 General] fards:
rooting is very easy,

on 1.6 and 2.1 then you can use universalandroot

For 2.2 which is coming this week/next week/when dell take their finger from out their a*se and press the GO button..

then use superoneclick through windows or manually rageagainstthecage for linux.

[Streak 5 General] BrockFerens:
Yeah, I'm sick of the x10. I have one more question, does it have hdmi out? Or do you need to buy the dock? And has anyone tried the psx emulator on it?
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
The Streak has HDMI out but only on the Dock that costs a few bob, plus it will only output HDMI when viewing videos on the native player, maybe in the near future someone can figure out a way to enable HDMI output in other areas/apps.
[Streak 5 General] gypsydigi:
I too came from the X10. The X10 is nice on paper.. its hardware is good.. but it lacked multitouch and sony sucks for updates. I also have an iphone too. And i must say that the dell streak is the best phone i've ever had! you won't be disappointed
[Streak 5 General] cu_ninja:
Yeah you're going to want to definitely root and put DJ Steve's froyo rom on it. Android 1.6 is mental on a phone as kick ass as the streak.
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
Second that... I had an iphone before x10 and although I loved it, I soon got bored once I lost jailbreak (dreaded bootloop and damn apple restore) the tethered jailbreak was annoying too! Streak runs great on 2.1 but if you do some research on here and fancy playing around the di_steves custom rom is quite something (x10i would've been better if someone could hack the bootstrap)

[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
My work mate has an X10a (was 1.6 had to convert to x10i so he could get 2.1 Eclair :s) and he's about to leave that boat, he was really hoping for that multi-touch rumor to be false untill some guy dissasembled and look the chip # and realized that there is no multitouch on that chip, so that means it was not rumor and is true, no multi-touch... so that is like driving on a rally car with a stick shift while having a left arm only (driving side on the left tho :).

You won't regret going to the streak, even tho we pretty much only have Steven Hyde as a dev, we are going on a good route. comparing to the X10 I'll say.
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
@Brock:

Yeah I use psx4droid to play Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (Works pretty well) and Gran Turismo 2 (OK with no other cars on screen but can slow down a bit in a race)

YMMV depending on the game but the 5" screen is IDEAL for such purposes! I'm hoping 2.2 will give it that last little push on performance to make psx4droid really rock...

My mate has an X10i. I think he has a few frustrations with it and he certainly likes the look of the Streak..... :)

[Touch HD General] Chappy112:
I've been having problems with my battery for a week now, I noticed it wouldn't charge to 100% so that the green light comes on it will just goto 99% and then stay there. The battery then drains so fast, like literally I will be on 1% in an hour and a half.

So I tried a full reset of the phone and that didn't work. I also bought a new battery and that didn't work so I'm guessing the phone might well be knackered.

Also the phone seems to be really hot I never noticed it that hot before.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
[Touch HD General] retsam88:
Replace battery immediately! Do not attempt to charge it anymore, it could go very bad!
[Touch HD General] Chappy112:
I did, I bought a new battery and the same thing happens.

I have to have it on charge constantly all day.
[Touch HD General] retsam88:
Maybe charging control unit(in phone) is damaged, or charger is not working properly.

Can you check voltage on charger?

Also are you sure you use original battery manufactured by HTC?

[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
Hello,

As AOSP build is near, I think we should be aware that the default Android apps are not as pretty as SE ones.

So, this list will include any nice replacement for a default app.

Please provide information like:

- <what it replaces , like Caller, Phonebook etc>

- <program name> ,

- status: "Free", "Free with ads", "Trial", "Paid".

- does it have a widget? describe it

I'm extremely open to rational suggestions and I'll update this list as soon as possible.

Caller/Phone book/Contact list replacements:

Youlu Address Book - Caller/Phonebook/Call log replacement.

Free.

Nice looking T9 caller/call log/address book.

Has a widget: Yes, one with 4 sections exactly like tabs on top of this app (caller, call log, contact list, favorites)

Music players

PowerAMP

Trial version.

Nice looking and usable music player. It has folder mode which scans and interprets folders separately from android mode.

Has a widget: Yes, 3 types, with/without album list.

[XPERIA X10 General] Mancubus99:
I think I'm one of the few that actually likes SE's customizations to Android. I like the cohesive look of the interface, especially the style of the new phone book, in call app and chat app. What I don't like is how their software bogs down the system. For me the ideal situation would be a custom 2.2 with the Sony look but without the lag.

any solutions? :)

thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delbuenno:
Just repeat the process but put your original product code back in. (the SI is printed on the label under your battery, using that you can then get the CDA code from the first post in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824711

)

Edit: if you are with E+ the SI number under your battery should be 1232-2951 or similar and the cda is 1234-4754. So follow the method as you did before but put the number 1234-4754 instead of 1234-8465.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackiie:
great. thank you i will try this. right now im trying it with the original numer (1232-2950) if that doesnt work correct i will try the number you told me to use.

but why do i have to use this number? (the CDA number)

and do u have any ideas why i cant restore contats, although i saved them ?

But my phone isnt responding on that so i can't see that some1 is calling me. And if i boot in WinMo i can recieve calls and make calls (strange)?

[Vibrant Android Development] aeok18109:
theres a version for stock on the TW website. It was there when i downloaded this at 803 am EST

whats up with this new stuff? i selected the very bottom option in the tweaks for the JS overkill? is this JFS thing the new hotness? i dunno which to pick. i want this thing to be as epicly cracked out as i can make it. can you doo voodoo WITH this new thing or is it one or the other?

right now im sitting at 1406 quadrant and all i did was select that option
[Vibrant Android Development] thenikeman:
Correct, their website shows:

"SECOND FLASHABLE STOCK KERNEL, use if you dont want to risk dragons."
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
W/ voodoo it's either one or the other.

JFS = Journaled File System or JFS is a 64-bit journaling filesystem created by IBM.

RFS = Remote file sharing - essentially this is what Samsung originally went with and it's slow.

Okay, I was running the Macnut ROM (Eugene's ROM) and, having tried Onyx from the first beta, I decided to go back. I installed from CWM with no issues (no Internal SD wipe, etc.), let it sit for a bit then went into recovery to do the ULF. I didn't know what to choose but, I ain't afraid o' no ****in' dragons so, I chose the bottom most option for the works. After letting it sit for about 15 mins again and a Titanium restore of my apps, this thing screams. After a fresh reboot, I got 1852 on Quadrant and there is absolutely no lag on this thing. NONE. The only slight beef I have with this rom is that I miss the completely black Swype keyboard.
