[Galaxy Tab General] whit3fir3:
This is more of an informative post for anyone who finds themselves in a situations similar to what I was in. This weekend I purchased the Verizon 3G Galaxy Tablet. When I purchased it I opted NOT to pay for a data plan for the device as I was planning on just tethering it to my cell phone when wifi was not available.

The problem with this is on first boot the device attempts to register and activate itself but ONLY via 3G service. If you do not have a 3G data plan it simply fails and will never let you get past the register screen. The next day I took it back to the store where I purchased it from very pissed off and was show a trick to get around the registration screen in the event that I ever factory reset my device.

If you find yourself in a similar situation here are the steps necessary to get past the screen.

1. Attempt the register the device via 3G and let it fail.

2. While viewing the failed registration message hit the following button sequence:

Volume Up Once

Volume Down Twice

Volume Up Three Times

Volume Down Four Times

After that it will take you to the finish screen with out registering your device and finally let you log into the system. From there you can configure a wifi network and rerun the setup wizard to register your device if you want to.

Thanks,

I own a Sprint version and this doesnt work on it
[Galaxy Tab General] Wplangan:
Interesting. I purchased my Verizon version of the tab on launch day and they would not sell it to me unless I purchased at least the first month of data service so that they could activate it. Big fight in the store over this.
[Galaxy Tab General] whit3fir3:
Wplangan,

Yeah I had the same argument at the Verizon store I went to. The agreement ended with me telling them to go screw themselves and then walking across the street to BestBuy and getting the exact same tablet from there with no questions or data plan requirements. Only problem I had was the activation (since I did not want to purchase 3G service). Once I figured out how to bypass that so I could setup a WIFI network and then register the device, everything has worked great.

Thanks,

whit3fir3

Well, u couldn't perhaps devuldge such knowledge to a fellow wifi only opted before designed galaxy galaxy conasuer? This a burden and objective of mine since the firtst GT release upon my first start up....I was appreiciative of the potential of my new devise at heart and nearly content just minimizing.....I welcome any wisdom or exsperience in advancing my situation...it certainly wasn't free I shun any such factory tyrany or forceful ideas
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdallman10:
I think there may be something like this for windows phones? Anyway, would really like a little analog clock in the status bar instead of the digital readout. It's actually nice to know the time when surfing the web, tweeting, etc. but the digital clock is out of place with a circle status bar icon theme. I've attached a picture to help with the visual.

Anybody interested in making this I would be willing to donate my time and/or money in helping to make this possible. May involve making a million .png files, but I do not know. Would like to see if there is any other interest in this/if it's even a possibility (I have not seen anything). I think It would look pretty slick!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] voodoo55:
Agreed. That would look nice. I think it would take a bit of coding though. Over my head. Those round icons do look nice. Where did you get those from?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdallman10:
the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen. just google it, it should come up as the first hit. Pretty awesome kitchen and super easy to use.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] voodoo55:
something like this should be possible:

lower the clock font, and put those brackets on the titlebar background. I would change the batt icon too. standard measure would be easiest. you still have exact percentage on desktop.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdallman10:
that does look pretty good, thanks for putting that together. Deff gonna mod the batt like that.

My request still stands though, I want a 2 hands turning circles in the top right corner!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] boyzz999:
I use LG P500 for now i have a big problem. When i play game or hold sceen the sceen will Lag immediately. yesterday i ask my friend about this problem, He said, his phone have a problem like mine, so how can i slove this problem?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] saurabh88:
have you closed other application. As there is 100% chance that more of them are running in background
[Optimus One, P500, V General] oFFoy:
does it still lag? or you fixed it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] corwin42:
I think this is a bug in the touchscreen driver. Hopefully LG can fix this. If you touch the screen, CPU load goes up to 100%.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kite86:
Yep, can't play some games cause of this bug :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Asuma06:
normally if the device lags you need to restart. restarting the device once in a while is normal for android devices. if you have task killer remove it and replace it with autokiller...work far more better that task killer. IMHO
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kite86:
That's not our case. As corwin said I believe that touch panel drivers are sh1t, this doesn't have anything to do with what you said.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ip0s:
i have the same problem.?mb the reason is tweaks(JIT en hw en)?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] d3vil:
Does it happen in the stock ROM as well?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] boyzz999:
I think that trouch screen bug is the main reason for this problem.I hope that LG will solve this problem soon. But before i bought my p500 i read in some web,they write that this phone have develop with Google team and why have ****!!! problem like this.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
I have original P500A firmware and I didn't notice problem with lagging. Could somebody confirm, that on this firmware it works fine?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ip0s:
where have you try it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gemarc:
In some game or Neocore, every ROM laging when you touch screen.

Neocore score without touch 44 frame/s, with touch 15 frame/s.

This is maybe problem inside firmware.

Sorry for my English :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Badassian:
Yah, you are not alone, I have that problem too.

It lags in games such as Heavy Gunner, and Raging Thunder 2, where I have to hold to boost, or shoot

I hope OC might help since when I held my finger anywhere in the screen I saw the cpu max out in the app system panel.

I have firmware V10c
[Optimus One, P500, V General] chtamina:
get similar problem on solipskier (rooted and jit-ed)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MarkusL81:
I have the same issues.

Has anyone already contacted LG about this issue?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eigokyoukan:
I don't think this is really a bad driver from LG (though I cannot comfirm that).

Native input and sensor events

Applications that use native code can now receive and process input and sensor events directly in their native code, which dramatically improves efficiency and responsiveness.

Faster event distribution

The plaform now handles touch and keyboard events faster and more efficiently, minimizing CPU utilization during event distribution. The changes improve responsiveness for all applications, but especially benefit games that use touch events in combination with 3D graphics or other CPU-intensive operations.

These are two of just a few of the awesome develpments for Gingerbread, and I believe these would help out on our model phones immensly. Thats why I am spending more time that I should be afterhours poking around 2.3. If only this was my job, and I could spend more than 2-4 hours a day on it before passing out...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] oFFoy:
can someone email LGs support and ask them? :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ghostface:
I was ignored two months ago, just got a message from LG bot.."thank you for blah blah blah..we will reply blah blah" and nothing more :) I told them about the screen lag problem and asked for solution. I hope that Gingerbread will solve it, or that LG will provide some fix before Gingerbread will come out for our phone..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Badassian:
How would you officially update it though, after its released?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kunakos:
Same problem here. Is there a solution to this? I've read that other android phones do this as well, but couldn't find out why exactly. A link that explains, maybe?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] boyzz999:
all of my friends which use this phone have a same problem like us. LGs should to quickly slove this problem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] natedogg20050:
yep got the same problem , and one more thing i use to play playstation on my lgp500 it works really good but if i play games like wipeout they work with fullspeed but if i touch the screen the frame goes down from 40 to 15.

so i hope lg read that some where and fix it -.-.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] oFFoy:
did you read android 2.3 changes?

Performance

Android 2.3 includes a variety of improvements across the system that make common operations faster and more efficient for all applications. Of particular interest to game developers are:

Concurrent garbage collector — The Dalivik VM introduces a new, concurrent garbage collector that minimizes application pauses, helping to ensure smoother animation and increased responsiveness in games and similar applications.

Faster event distribution —

The plaform now handles touch and keyboard events faster and more efficiently, minimizing CPU utilization during event distribution.

The changes improve responsiveness for all applications, but especially benefit games that use touch events in combination with 3D graphics or other CPU-intensive operations.

Updated video drivers — The platform uses updated third-party video drivers that improve the efficiency of OpenGL ES operations, for faster overall 3D graphics performance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xilw3r:
ok, found sth out.

it seems as the multi touch problem (it doesnt know where ur fingers are if the axis crosses etc.) is not connected to the drivers or any other software. its just a faulty screen type. same stuff in some older gen htc phones.

sad :( actually got me wondering wether i should buy this cute phone..

but the screen touching while playing games should be sloved (look at post above lol :D )
[Optimus One, P500, V General] boyzz999:
i hope that 2.3 version will solve problem about screen lag. But LGs should release somethings to fix screen bug first.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] icsterm:
Any update on this issue? LG sucks with bad touchscreen optimisation. Hope Ginger will fix problems.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] N3mesis:
Did anyone send that issue to LG? Otherwise i hope they will notice that :-/

[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
The touchscreen bug is the main problem, but people are also forgetting that apple and the app store are the KING of apps. All apps are basically designed for iphone, and then ported over to android. So you get programs designed and optimized for iphone and iOS, and then when they get ported to android they run much worse.

Hence why my 2-3 year old ipod touch 2G runs angry birds and doodle jump like butter, and brand new LG Optimus T (released 2-3 months ago) lags and stutters EVEN when i'm not touching the screen. When touching the screen it's REALLY bad, but it even lags a little bit when not touching the screen. AND this is with the megatron rom overclocked over 700 mhz (faster than iphone 3GS). With the specs on the LG Optimus T/One, coupled with the overclock and optimization from megatron rom, this thing should be at LEAST 10 times faster than my old ipod touch 2G, but it runs everything worse, and even the android UI is more choppy. That would be bad programming on googles part that will hopefully improve with future versions. I think google needs to optimize their code as well, because the UI and everything is MUCH choppier and more laggy than an apple iOS phone with even WAY worse specs.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xilw3r:
QFT. enough said
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LukyXerX:
Having the same problem (what a surprise). If I`d knew about this problem i would not have bought the phone. Seems like LG is ignoring the problem.

Heard its brother gt540 running dung hunter,hawx like butter.

how cum ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] indypan:
My P500 has screen lag problem also..... :mad:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yanuk:
Same. Felt cheated
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pilalaus:
hi all,

it seems that the touch problem isn't going to be solved by the LG guys, but as we know the problem is in a process sucking all the cpu cycles.

couldn't that process be debugged in some way?

it's a task from android , or one custom made by LG tech ?

or is it just a generic driver for the touchscreen ?

does someone have a clue ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] N3mesis:
I'm sure and saying it without any clue how to flash a rom thats a driver problem in the LG-Kernel. Since its a custom kernel by LG as well. I also say this because the screen sensetive overall is okay but you notice the bug also while typing messages or stuff. If they don't fix the problem with Gingerbread I will never buy an LG device again.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
Its been said a lot before that this lag when touching the screen is a common problem to most phones but i think the Optimus One just cant handle the lag like higher end phones can...

I now avoid awesome games that make me hold down on the screen a lot because of this :( no more Meteor Blitz, Caligo Chaser, any FPS game, or touchscreen dragging games for long periods of time...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ttschizo:
Is it a common problem for all p500 devices or only affect certain handset? Can i get a replace one from warranty? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kel_Sceptic:
So is there anything we can try, to fix this out, its a sh|t feeling haveing the touchscreen laggin or not responding for a while from time to time and needing to lock/swipe unlock to "repair"
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RevengeFNF:
This problem doesn't affect only LG P500, but all Android Phones.

We just noticed it more on our P500, because we have a 600Mhz CPU, and not an 1Ghz.

This is a Android Problem, not LG.

Google said this problem is almost minimized in Gingerbread. LG said we will have the Gingerbread update, so its a question of wait.

If you guys search a little bit, you will notice HTC Desire and Nexus One Users also have Lag issues. And their phones are Higher End.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pilalaus:
OK so why playing trough the menu on a HTC Magic updated to Android 2.1 (528Mhz CPU) is smoother when holding the screen than a Lg P500 ? i'm saying JUST the menu, and just when holding the screen.

Or try a comparison with the galaxy 5 (i5500) lower res but same CPU freq. i personally think that the galaxy is responding much better.

Is the data from the touchscreen is processed directly by the main CPU? or is it an other chip acting like a driver and sending encripted data to the CPU making things smoother ? Because if it is a hardware problem on the P500 then the android 2.3 may be for nothing regarding the touchscreen. :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
No more problems like this with milk_os's kernel!:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cyanide911:
Same problem. I'll try the touch screen lag fix in some time.

Btw mods, I think the lag fix guide should be stickied... Very common problem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eichos:
Mik sorted it all out nicely. I wrote a guide etc to fix it, easily fixed :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] peacekeeper05:
use the miks kernel.

just flash it on your phone and the issue will be solved. very simple.

let's just hope that the following updates for the orginal fw of our optimus one will fix this problem already so people that don't want to root their phones can Have it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
I flashed mik_os kernel too, both on Void and stock rom, but it keeps shuding down my phone every few hours. I dunno if the kernel is to blame or the sd card. It seems i'm the only one with this problem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eagledipesh:
Did you wipe the phone and then re install the kernel and rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
yes, i did all that. I restored the stock rom, and it still shuts off from time to time. I'm pretty shure is the sd card that doesent support ext4. I partitioned the sd back to ext2 an hour ago and i'm waiting for some results :P

EDIT: Its been a day now since i re-partitioned the sd to ext2 and i still get random shut downs. It's funny cause i didnt got any until i flashed a custom rom. After that, even after several nand recovery, i still have this issue.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sigma47:
CPU frequency?

@Ruwin, what is your CPU freq set at? I believe the device has issues with freq btwn 600-729. I was using these intermediate values on void and my screen would get funky and I would have to pull the battery. So if you haven't already try 729 or 748 mhz. I also think that you should flash the latest kernel neojin has made for void incorporating mik-os's revisions.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] buzzdr0id:
I have the same problem too !! How to download and install mik kernel ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] asianlty:
i am a optimus chic user. i have the same problem, but it has been solved, you should search touchscreen lag fix on google, you should find some way to fix, because i seen a way to fix this yesterday while i am searching a way to fix mine

[Streak 5 General] tchamander:
Well I have been reading on the blogs that dell will be selling unlocked streaks with froyo.....but I just bought a beta streak on eBay..(jumped the gun on it too soon i guess)..so I am wondering what are some limitations with using a beta streak....is it worthless now....should I sell it? I do not really need to have at&t cause i just plan to use it as a data and multimedia device.....any help or tips will be helpful.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
As far as I know the only downside (as long as there's nothing wrong with the one you buy) is that the 3g/mobile side has been disabled by AT&T. I believe that you can use it on some other networks if it's been unlocked and of course wifi works.

Since beta Streaks are not meant to be sold on, a possible problem may come later for you if Dell decide to deactivate them.
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
I am in the same situation like you. Just purchased one which has lable called Engineering Sample. It works with AT&T sim card, but has no idea about 3G because

I never subscribe data plan.

It has Android 1.6.
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
No warranty on anything, don't even call Dell. spare parts are on you, as well as fixing it. You fugg it, you fix it or sell it to the community :D If you're on T-mo then you won't have 3G unless you get a unicorn like Streak AWS version, and what was previously mentioned, not working on AT&T, besides that you get Steve's Froyo on it and you have a marvelous piece of equipment.
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
my buddies and I all have the Streak here before it got release here in Canada....not a single problem with it.
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Beta Streak here, been using for 4 or 5 months now, no problems whatsoever except for the silver Dell logo on back coming unglued and coming off.

Running Steve's 1.4.6 now, the O2 2.1 before that. Great piece of kit. *knocks on wood* Been using on TMO US the whole time. I love it!
[Streak 5 General] tchamander:
Wow glad to hear that I got some good feedback can't wait till mine comes in but I am kind of wondering will my rebel sim do anything with this dell streak I'm guessing since my beta streak is unlocked I kind of have no use for the rebel sim now

[Hero CDMA General] sidepart:
I didn't see a thread for this yet. I'm trying to sell my Hero. How should I go about wiping it? I've done a factory reset but I'm a little concerned. Under "Phone identity", it still lists my phone number and current username (username@sprintpcs.com) in the phone. How can I get rid of this information as well?
[Hero CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
i would run the RUU, and do a hard reset after that if that doesnt get rid of any remain info nothing will
[Hero CDMA General] electronicopolis:
I bought my 2nd Hero used the other day & had to use the MSL wipe to get his @sprintpcs.com username cleared so my data would work.

Maybe there's more options if it's rooted, I sold my rooted Evo after I went into recovery & wiped from that..that person had no data problems.
[Hero CDMA General] sidepart:
I installed the latest RUU to unroot it. I think I might just bring it in to the store and have them to an RTN (just learned that yesterday). I could do this myself, but I'd have to re-root the phone to grab my MSL and ... what a huge hassle.
[Hero CDMA General] electronicopolis:
Yup, that'll do it.
[Hero CDMA General] electronicopolis:
What's the best root method right now? I'm running all of the latest updates & Unrevoked isn't working LOL. Had to switch over to Win 7, think I'm going to try the "One Click." I rooted my G1 years ago, didn't root my Vibrant or Epic, rooted the Evo.. now back to my 2nd Hero, never rooted the first one since I didn't need to tether.
[Hero CDMA General] electronicopolis:
Thanks to a special power, I was able to downgrade to the .7 build. I'm pretty sure it's the "Voicemail - A mandatory update is now available" that brings it to the .2 maintenance release.

Edit - NVM it's a separate update that gets pushed through. I only saw it once so I didn't remember LOL, just now saw it the second time.
[Hero CDMA General] add119:
Why did u sell your evo?
[Hero CDMA General] electronicopolis:
Needed the money & am waiting for WP7. Just got the root to go through on the Hero, now I'm going to flash and OC =D
[Hero CDMA General] add119:
Window 7 sucks i so the ui it still buggie and it has strip feature that window mobile 6.5 had and window decide to take off. Like copy and paste for web browsing and usb tethering, doesnt work if you not rooted.
[Hero CDMA General] electronicopolis:
Copy/paste is coming by the end of the year or early 2011, & a form tethering is currently possible with either the Samsung or LG.

But, I'm waiting for the Sprint version. The Hero may hold me over until the 2nd gen. of WP7 though.
