love handcent
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Ssantos6981:
Handcent. Even paid for the no ads version. Just the best.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] collins521:
Handcent right now cause ChompSMS doesn't have the option of leaving the display off when you get a message..the quick reply always will turn the display on when you have it turned off
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] donkey72:
I agree, Handcent is great. Has a lot of customization options. Turn off notification on stock SMS and give it a try.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] totaldrk62:
Handcent is the way to go. Been using it since my G1 days.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] legendary1022:
yeah I and almost everyone I know with an android device have gone with handcent. With that and sms2pc, texting is actually fun

I have been using handcent for since I got my g1 but recently I've gone back to chomp because I like the widget, quick reply and preformance better then handcent. Setting the lock screen notification to 10 seconds is really useful and actually is more efficient on my phone then handcent which seemed to be a huge battery drain
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
I like the CyanogenMod messenger. Looks like the stock one but with a black backdrop and white letters.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] m0bstar:
Yeah CM's always been better but I can't decide if I want to void the warranty already.

handcent is by far the best. no doubt in my mind

handcent has that option ya know...

handcent>settings>notfication settings>enable popup
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] android602:
Ya I know...I was just saying that the gay iPhone has a pop messaging no need of downloading an app...I was just saying that they should of made the g2 with that option too..instead of having to download an app

Holy crap Handcent is soooooooo cooooool!

I downloaded it after I read some posts saying how it is without a doubt the best.

And it is amazing
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jinpaul.yang:
handcent has always been great, lots of ways to customize and many options. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cparekh:
I use Google Voice, so I use the GV interface, as that is the only thing available to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ajk1311:
so handscent is really that much better than chompSMS?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] DJ ELITE:
handcent without a doubt. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] niscrome:
I love chompSMS over handscent simply because the quick reply is awesome, although I would like a "inbox" button. I guess it is a matter of opinion.

For those with chompsms popup waking up the screen, I think you can hide it or stop it with widgetlocker (not 100% sure).
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] collins521:
I like the pop up to show over top of the lockscreen, if you use widget locker to block chomp then it won't show over the lock. I did talk with the developers and they are going to include a option to not turn on the screen they say
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] J-Hop2o6:
Handcent SMS FTW!! i love their reply box pop-up so i don't have to leave the app everytime.. been using it since XDAndroid on my TP2 back in late 09.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] BillLee3:
Don't know if this is a silly question or not... I kinda switch between Sense and Launcher Pro. Got a bunch of software installed that includes widgets, sometimes 5 or 6 for the same software (different sizes, etc). Is there any way to hide or uninstall the widgets I don't ever see myself using? I.E. I don't need the 2x2, 4x1, 4x2, 4x3, 4x4 versions of a widget that I'm ALWAYS going to do as a 1x1. It makes scrolling thru the widgets to select one a real pain.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Nic2112:
I know launcher pro can hide apps from the drawer but I don't think it can hide widgets from the menu. There aren't that many widgets though so it shouldn't really be a "real pain" to flick your thumb a bit :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] chris7os:
hide widgets

Sometimes a widget dev will include options for how many to display (like jorte), but other than that, I have no idea. Just make sure you check out all the settings in your widget, sometimes you'll find stuff you never knew you could do.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Ke1evraTi:
Ya, there is an apk that you install on your phone that reorganizes your widgets. I have used it on my samsung fascinate and it worked well (ADW and 2.1). Im pretty sure it wont work with sense, but it should with launcher pro. I found it here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] juanito05:
Hey all.. I just got my unlocked G2 to work on my local carrier's 3G. Im from the Philippines which only supports Band I (2100) UMTS. Turned out that my old sim wasn't 3G ready/activated and I wasnt able to connect to the 3G network before. Bought a newer sim, inputted the right APN settings and I was good to go. Now I can browse and access the internet/market on my phone wherever I go. :)

The G2 is indeed an international device. Thanks for all the help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyflipj:
I recently rooted and flashed froyo for a friend with a Vibrant but now the computer doesn't see the phone when putting phone on USB Storage mode. I flashed a SD Card fix located here but still my computer doesn't read the phone. Any suggestions?

[Captivate General] steveorg:
I upgraded my Captivate to Froyo. I have a few issues.

GPS - My GPS worked well after the official fix on 2.1. Now the GPS is crappy once more. Is there a way to fix this?

On occasion the phone turns off for no reason, even with a full battery and just lying around for a couple of hours. Is this a known fixable issue?

Tethering seems to be built in without extra software or rooting. I was able to connect my Windows 7 computer via USB and WiFi. However, the PC says "No connection to the Internet". I noticed that I can't use the Captivate's wifi conenction when it's also a wireless hotspot, but I do have a decent 3G connection. Any ideas?

Thanks much.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Is the version of froyo you're running JI6? I had weird random shutdowns with that version too. I flashed Cog 2.3b6 (based on JJ4), which doesn't have the random shutdown issue, so I imagine it's a bug in the JI6 build.

If you go to settings>wireless>mobile AP, that will actually turn your phone into a mini wifi router that uses your phone's 3g connection for internet access. If you can't get your computer to connect to the internet through your phone, you might want to go over your settings again. I've only tested it once on JI6 and it seemed to work fine.

As for the GPS issue, sorry dude can't help you there. I'm one of the lucky few that has a captivate with a well functioning GPS, stock JF6 through Cog 2.3b6. The only thing I could suggest is to try a different rom :\
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Hi guys, im coming from a Desire and thinking of switching to the SGS because of the better hardware. Can anyone share what it's like to use it everyday with the 2.2 update already? Is it still that buggy? what about battery life?

I've played around with the SGS 2.1 and it is indeed slow, laggy and somewhat frustrating. Should I expect otherwise?

What about removing touchwiz? Does that bring everything up to speed?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokkykRAO:
Well, to be honest my SGS came out of package with 2.1 laggin like crazy.

I updated to 2.2, did a factory reset, and now everything runs really smooth!

(Except for me beeing a total noob with trying to use apps like launcherpro etc, and not making it work correctly..)

i find 2.2 way better speed wise, than 2.1

no more lag on multi upgrade from market
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjay9090:
I seriously don't know where this lag everyone is talking about coming from, I've had my Galaxy S for 2 months now and so far my phone has been very snappy, ever since the first day I bought it when it was still running 2.1 ... the Samsung Galaxy S is one snappy phone if you ask me! it certainly can stand on it's own against the iPhone 4, which is considered by many to be the smoothest phone out there... I certainly have NO regrets purchasing the Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shranav:
i switched from desire to SGS for the following reasons:

1) music player can play FLAC's

2) divx xvid support and support for many video codecs ( use to use rock player on desire but still it was unable to play some other h264 formats)

3) nice giant super amoled screen

4) light weight and looks are better than desire

The only reason that i miss my desire is :

it was fast ( yeah SGS is a bit laggy even with custom roms and kernels) and it had flash with its camera. ( but camera of SGS is better than desire)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
shranav,

How about the capacitive touch buttons? Were they easy to use coming from the Desire? I've tried them with the 2.1 rom and they seemed way unresponsive with the vibrate only registering after 2 -3 secs.

So can I assume that the experience will never be as good as the one in my desire?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
oh and does HTC IME work for the SGS?? This is the only keyboard I use because it's easy to add your own dictionary
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedauntlessone:
Should be? Is this from experience of you're just talking out of your ass? Probably the latter. I've been using Doc rom with ext4 lagfix for the last 10 days and I have nothing but positive things to say about my SGS now. The phone is hella good with 2.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melorib:
Same here, fantastic screen, light, good sound for phone... :cool:

Of course KIES stink, but there are plenty alternatives...

The only problem I had with 2.1 was that it forgot where the SD cards where too often, and I had to reboot to use access photos or music...

Upgraded to 2.2 and no more "memory" problems...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wifi802.11abgn:
I bought this mobile a week back with 2.1... Two days back upgraded to froyo... Better than 2.1.. Lot of new options.. Google voice works well... Speed both versions almost same.... Kies sucks in 2.1...but improved with froyo..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetpack101:
I really don't know what the problem is for some people.

I have 2.1 and upgraded via Keis to 2.2

I was always in the habit of resetting (off and on again) my phone at least once a day. This is something I have done with all phones.

Now with the new Active Applications program in 2.2 I don't do this as much. I just close any programs using this.

I have never suffered lag on the SGS. The only problem I had was the inbuilt email software is really slow. This is not a big problem as I use the gmail software for all my mobile mail.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #1RAGE:
I feel the same. A couple weeks after getting my 9000M (with 2.1 JH2) I decided to try the OCLF (lag fix) and it made some things quicker or snappier, Android Market was noticeably faster. It made some things worse like menu transitions/animations were really choppy after the lag fix and I would get random short hangs every now and again. A couple weeks after applying the lag fix my phone would not boot (stuck on Galaxy S screen then black screen). Luckily the phone wasn't completely dead. I had to do a factory reset and have been running it stock since (probably 10 weeks now). I don't know that I am experience this lag that people talk about. It runs pretty smoothly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fjelsten:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allotrios:
htc_ime works

if you go for it, i suggest a custom rom if you want a snappy phone

stock roms suffer from lag, especially when you install many apps

it is really easy to flash a custom rom (or even just a custom kernel)

sorry if its not right place to ask but

whats a diffrent between GT i9000 and Galaxy s i9000

mine says GT I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theskymoves:
I've had 2 SGS so far.

First, had no 3 button menus, but was very quick, no lag. Was able to root and lag fix to improve speed further no bother

Second, my current one. HAS 3bm, but massive lag. Unable to root by normal methods (also hard to verify if phone was rooted) also unable to lag fix

Seems to correlate with what people are saying. You saying there is no lag, and others having no end of problems.

Personally, on this phone I've missed calls with the screen taking too long to change.

I should note that my first phone was network unlocked but this one is tied to Three ireland with their modifications etc to it :-(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boom3r84:
Hey all, I updated to 2.2 last night, and have been impressed since first reboot. I have applied oclf as well and the phone has not lagged once. I suggest you also look at the minfree settings in oclf, as the autokill defaults for the sgs are sub par. I found that minfree adjustment has also had a major impact on the performance of the phone. We need to remember that out of the factory (our fresh from factory firmware upgrade) these phone do not run at their best and they need to be tweaked to see full potential. Cheers. H
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icejagans:
I read somewhere (could of been in xda) that enabling usb debugging helps with the lag issues. Don't know how that works but just throwing out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shranav:
Not at all. Touch button is not at all a problem. Neither on eclair nor on froyo. it was just the lag that was responsible for late response. Nd regarding keyboard, SGS keyboard also stores ur word in the dictionary.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:

[Windows Phone 7 General] KampfGremlin:
Hi there,

is it true that it's simple a fake that the IE mobile on WP7 can save passwords/logins?

I can't achieve this with the browser, no way. When i google this feature i also found nothing. No people missing nor people confirm such a feature.

The reason why i think the IE mobile should do so i is explained in the link under enabling/disabling cookies : [sry but i'm not allowed to post links, would be nice if you google "Change privacy and other browser settings" and hit the first link]

Anybody who can explain me that? :)

thx

KG
[Windows Phone 7 General] williammel:
I'd guess it's talking more about websites like forums that 'save passwords' with a checkbox like 'remember me' or 'keep me logged in'. I don't think it's going to prompt to save your passwords like Firefox does.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KampfGremlin:
Well this seems sad but true. In this case the description is misleading at all. Anyway this should be a main feature of a mobile browser nowadays. And Opera Mobile/Mini which achieve this by now are WIP :mad:

[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
Go through the Rom upgrading guide.Read thoroughly and follow every step carefully.there is a difference between Old Gene and New Gene.You will learn as you follow the guide as to which one is yours.Also to avoid invalid update tool errors,make sure your device is properly synced to yur computer.In your cas as the device is fully dead.Perform a Hard Reset.Even if that doesnt work,you have to use JTAG method to get back your Gene.

So follow the Guide and you'll do good.Revert back when your problem is solved.And do not Create New Threads unnecessarily.Post your doubts in the respective threads.
[P3400 ROM Development] bluffmaster:
Hi

I follow the guide and Upgrade my SPL Olipro to Orefkov's.

Step 5: Use the Orefkov Unlocker
------------------------------------

1. Remove the battery, SIM card and SD Card of your phone and press the Power key for 20 seconds to draw out any residual power from the phone.

2. Replace the battery but not the SIM and SD card, and don't start the phone yet. Press and hold the Camera button and then press the Power button or Soft Reset button. Phone will come to boot loader mode (tricolor screen) and SPL 1.10.Olip will be displayed.

3. Connect the USB cable. The text USB will appear on the bottom of the screen.

4. On PC, go to the folder Orefkov in the folder extracted in step 1 and run the Mtty1_42.exe. Press the button "USB" in the window that opened.

5. In the window that opened, type the following command (don't use copy paste please) and press enter:

Code:

set 32 1

You'll see a response from phone.

6. Type the following command BUT DON'T PRESS ENTER YET:

Code:

ls boot.bin

Note : that is small L and small s in that command, dont mistake it with I.

Now, hold down the Camera button on phone, and press the enter key on computer. After a while, the screen will become White. Continue pressing the Camera button for 10 more seconds.

7. Now release the camera button, close the MTTY program and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the same folder, not the one outside it. That one is for RAM flashing that we will use later. Check the boxes in each step and click Next Next and then at last Update. Let it finish the process. Your phone will restart.

8. Now on the splash screen you'll see the info with updated SPL version. The version of SPL will be 1.07.Oref.

Congrats! you have successfully patched your SPL.

Step 5 of Guide is Goes Well....

But Guide Show in Step 6 phone boot Once

Step 6: Flash the ROM
---------------------------

Now let the phone boot once and then shutdown it. Insert your SIM card, but not the SD card. Go to the PC and copy the ROM file (it must be names RUU_Signed.nbh. Rename it if it has some other name.) into the ROM Update Utility folder that is outside the Orefkov and SPL Patcher folder.

Now press and hold the camera button and start your phone to go into the Boot loader mode once again.

Now Run the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow her instructions. Please make sure that you are not running RomUpdateUtility inside the Orefkov folder in SPL Updater folder. You must use the one outside, in the RomUpdateUtility folder. Your phone will automatically go into bootloader mode and a progress bar will be displayed on both phone and PC. Once it completes, your phone will restart again and you'll get the phone with the brand new ROM.

But Mine is Still Dead When i Press Power Button only redlight blink.

also it can go to bootloader when i press power + camera key.
