Hey guys.. Updated my sgs to froyo yest.. As u guys mentioned the phone is quite laggy compared to eclair.. But after restarting it for like 10 times nd after using it for sometime, there was a considerable decrease in the lag.. But even so it's not as responsive as eclair.. Hope samsung fixes this soon in the next update..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] initrd:
were you on a custom ROM with lagfix before? that may be a problem. if so, reflash to DDJG4 using odin and then retry kies update.

i Have upgrade my galaxy s to Uk Froyo with Registry edit in kies befor

now the official Froyo in india has been released

How to upgrade now to orignal indian rom

Kies says....This device's verson cannot be upgraded

pls help

:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virtualsk:
Solution to lag for Froyo

1) Do Factory Reset before and after upgrade.

2) Wipe Cache Partition.

This will boost Froyo Experience for sure... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virtualsk:
Use, Kies Registry Patcher to fool Kies.... Look for Galaxy S India Thread in here ...

Or Search for Kies Registry Patcher ...you will find it...

from there, you can hack Kies to detect your org. firmware.... ;-)

Hi

@ Virtualsk

Can you tell me how to do:

1) Factory Reset

2) Wipe Cache Partition

And if i do this will i also data from my internal SD card the 8GB or 16GB?

-Sunil
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virtualsk:
Go into Recovery mode...i.e., Press Volum Up + Home Button + power button to gather....

There you will find both options...

No, it will not remove data of your SD Card...However, you can back up that data using Kies...since, It will remove Contacts for sure.

Thanks Virtualsk

I did take a backup of all things important for me.

Have you updated to official Froyo for your Samsung Galaxy S Gt i9000 and what are you views on a personal level? (This is assuming you have Samsung Galaxy S Gt i9000 :o )

Here is the video for somebody like me, who does not know the 101 of RestoreMode Good Video by TechSaviSolution on You Tube.[YOUTUBE]2_w_1TNixQ4[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virtualsk:
I installed Europe JP6 first ....

Later on I installed Asian JPD

and Now i am on Indian JP6.

Personally, there is a lot of performance improvement done in Froyo. I dont see lag that much....However, i always prefer Factory Reset before and After Update.

Frankly, You should get the speed after following the steps.

Thanks for your response, i will try and update my phone, and will post my results.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr.Hunk:
Hi,

Me too using the asian JPD version but have an impression that its great after upgrade and reset but after use for some time it becomes less responsive and laggy.. Anyways since you switched from JPD to JP6, how is the performance for JP6? Better/same/crappy? as even I am thinking of the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virtualsk:
Well, from my point of view, its similar to JPD. However, you will notice some lag in some apps only. thats due to FAT32 filesystem being used by Samsung instead of EXT2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kiriapurv:
Samsung uses RFS filesystem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virtualsk:
Yes, Which is build as Lagacy FAT ... ;-)

Flash a Custom ROM

1. Make sure you are permrooted and S =off. Also make sure you are able to get into recovery before you start flashing stuff. Download rom from XDA developers and save it to your computer.

2. Once it is saved, plug in your phone via USB cable and mount the SD card so we can save files to the sd card.

3. Copy the ROM’s .zip file over to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folders on the sd card, just on the root of the card) (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip).

4. In the custom recovery screen, select Nandroid then Backup and backup your current ROM.

5. Then select Wipe Data and wipe caches.

6. Then select Apply ".zip from sd card" and choose the ROM you downloaded earlier.

7. Once it is done flashing, click reboot system. Once it reboots, you are all set. Enjoy!

I am not responsable for damage to your device from flashing. Do this at your own risk.

I don't really care whether any rom would be 2.2 or 2.3. I am so grateful that people that know more about this stuff than me are here. If development continues I am sure we will get both 2.3 and 3.0.

Also, I feel a deep need to stick it to Motorola for waiting 12 months since 2.2 release to actually update the Defy to 2.2 in Europe.

Froyo Stock Recovery

Hi there, I have recently updated to the leaked official froyo for defy and I was able to go to stock recovery and root recovery before updating and I was only able to go through the update through the custom recovery and I did it anyway but since I had the adw launcher my defy got a lot slower and I had to uninstall it and I ended with a nonfunctional home button and I have use back button to go to home screen and sometimes I'm stuck in an infinite loop and can't get to home at all so I thought reinstalling the same update.zip file might help since I didn't want to lose any of the data and settings on the phone, so this time when I used the volume down and power button method it gave me this picture and the botton right corner doesn't do anything. btw I have lost my root as well after the initial update. Any thoughts on how to get to custom recovery or even if getting there will let me re-update to the leaked froyo update again?
[Defy Android Development] sp8y:
To get into stock recovery on the 2.2 from that screen you need to press volume down and volume up at the same time.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stealth1985:
I have another thread on this but wanted to separate them. So for those of you with a Desire Z, does the Auto-Brightness feature ever go below 50% for you? From testing I have found that from the screen off it will start at 50% and pretty much stay there unless you take a flashlight and shine it directly at the sensor. It will then switch to 100% and stay there for atleast a few minutes. It will witch back to 50% if you turn off the screen.

Even in a pitch black room it will not dim below 50%.

Has anyone found an auto brightness that actually works the way it should such as on an Iphone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbalden:
I use tasker for that, it can use light level percentage to run a task to set brightness.

Prefer not to buy an app, hoping this can be fixed properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Try a custom ROM and see how it works in there ? e.g. maybe try Cyanogen (or at least search the thread on the G2 side), if there's a problem still with the light sensor then they can probably fix it a lot more quickly than HTC will.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickx:

I'm using the same Rom and auto brightness isn't working.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifaint:
Since my old phone G1, I used "Ambient light sensor" to auto adjust the brightness, which cost me $1.99. It use the camera in the back to identify the surrounding, not the sensor in the front, whenever the screen is waken. But it's not satisfying at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbalden:
Basically i add 4 profiles that bases upon Light Level being between given values, say 0-20,21-60,61-80,81-100 and each profile sets the screen brightness to an explicit value, say like 0-20 -> 10, 21-60 -> 40 etc...

But now I don't use it anymore, as Tasker is somehow triggering a foreground event and it steals the focus for a quarter of a second...while typing it's annoying.. :|

Has anyone had any positive experiences with buying a 16gb or 32gb MicroSD card from China?

(Like the ones on ebay, or DHGate)

I would really like to get one to upgrade my stock card, but I don't want to waste money and wait 20 days for a fake.

And I would like to keep the price as low as possible. ($20ish would be great)

Please link if you've purchased a card from China (or other really cheap places) that you can confirm to be authentic.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cdudeman:
I ordered one from ebay and never received it. Had to report the guy to ebay to get a refund. I would be very cautious as I have seen a lot of people get ripped off either from fake cards or just not receiving them.

If you really want one then bite the bullet on the price and stay away from the ones on ebay that are ridiculously low.

Anyone had any experience with the kensington k39217us?

[Fascinate Accessories] SupraLance:
No experience with that mount, but some research to share:

That Kensington you listed opens to 2.75" max, which is right at the width of the Otterbox case. The height is listed at 4.1", so the Fascinate should stick off the top a little. IMO, that is a plus if it means the camera can still see out. I'm looking for one to dual-purpose to film video as I drive. My main concern with this one would be how stable it is, since the flexible adjustment will hurt that.

Most universals just don't seem to open wide enough. Another wide jaw option are these:

http://www.arkon.com/Smartphone_Holder.php. But I don't think the camera will be able to see over the high back.

Based on dimensions, I think the clip that came with the Garmin Nuvi 200 series might work. If it does, this opens up a ton of options. Anybody have a Garmin Nuvi 200 Series?

aGPS can use cell towers and WiFi points to help triangulate your location.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Linuxslate:
The Original Poster is asking how to enable WiFi based location.

The option does not exist in the TnT settings, but it does in other devices.

It works fine on my cheap Augen Gentouch, which definitely does not have GPS.

You also do not need a cellular radio in the device.

For those that do not understand how this works, it has been in the news recently how Google drives around logging WiFi access points. They also have GPS in the car. From this they have created a data base of where your AP is located.

If you are connected to the internet via Wifi router <router name /MAC>, then you must be geographically near that router. Assuming that the location of that router/internet route has not changed since they drove by, then your location is known down to the range of a typical Wifi access point (within about 300 ft Max, assuming a network with a single AP.).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] LRiley:
Exactly...I need a vanilla settings file I can push to enable that setting
