[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I'm almost tempted to say there's something wrong with either the battery or the phone in some cases. Unless you somehow have a bunch of apps set to sync constantly, I can't think how you could be killing your battery so fast on the software side of things, and even then it's a stretch. With my screen on constantly, it takes at least a few hours for the battery to drop into the orange. Unless you're using the phone in some sort of extreme conditions that may affect the battery (extreme heat/cold/humidity), I wonder if you'd have the same experience with a replacement. The sort of extreme battery drain certain people seem to be experiencing doesn't seem possible given my own experience with the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] mishkasf:
That's what I'm wondering as well... But it's over 30 days at this point, so I guess I can't go to BestBuy to try to exchange the phone... Do you think I should call Samsung?
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
poorly coded widgets can cause battery to drain also
[Nexus S General] AdhvanIt:
There's nothing wrong with your phone or battery. 45 minutes of music and a half hour phone call among the other things you did will all significantly affect battery life. As well as if you're running live wallpapers, leaving your messenger running in the background, etc.

Although I don't own a nexus s, I've owned five android devices and have learned to ALWAYS keep a charger handy. There are things you can do to help the battery life, most notably the screen timeout and brightness settings.

Go to menu>settings>about phone>battery>battery use and see what has been eating most of your battery. Also, if you're in low signal areas, this will also effect your battery life substantially.

Hey guys,

You know how laggy the Galaxy Tab contact app, music player, and browser (especially the browser.. it's such a pain in the butt) can be, and I was wondering if it was possible for you to use the Galaxy S apks for those??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712594

someone uploaded every single galaxy s apk here, so maybe if you download it to your tab, it could possibly work??
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] DubZyy:
it should work but im not 100% for sure.

i know that the email.apk from the galaxy tab works on the galaxy s. so why not reversed

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dan@msx:
ive put you contacts 1.0 from sgs and music player 3.0.... i know music player works cos i have it on both tab and sgs but not tried contacts (tab uses 2.2 but sgs is 1.0)

if you want any other sgs apks just ask and ill extract for you.....
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] biopsin:
Contacts just FC, but the music works..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dan@msx:
Yeah i wasnt sure what would happen cos i dont use contacts on my tab as its sin free so i just tether from my sgs and share data connection but i know music player works a treat....
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] seven2099:
I really dont have any issue with all of those apps.

It is none the less related to the fact that I'm on JMC firmware.

It is not the APKs at all but more related to the firmware.

The browser in JMC is silky smooth compared to the stock firmware's browser.

Instead of trying to port these apks not designed for the tab flash your tab to a better firmware and never worry about looking back.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] brianreigh:
Do you know where I can get the JMC firmware? And also, would that affect my warranty? Sorry -- I'm such a noob lol.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmin:
Hi, I have had the previous versions of MIUI working great and have been able to change themes easily by simply dropping in the MIUI/Themes folder then ap0plying through settings/personal. Something in the latest versions seem to have changed, with no explanation?! Firstly some themes dont show, Ive noticed that the file extension has changed to MTZ but then when I apply as a "system style" some things change but not all, eg background and icons unchanged.

Help this is one of the main reasons I changed to MIUI, now it seems frustatingly complicated and broken?!

Using stock 12.24 and ebglish language pack btw

131 views and not one comment, this forum really is dying!?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Hmm, not sure if I can help but I will at least make a suggestion.

I'm using the same MIUI ROM (12.24 R2 to be exact), and do not appear to have any issues with it, especially with theming.

Are you using 12.12 R1?

Did you flash the language pack manually?

Did you perform a full wipe of the data and caches before flashing the ROM?

EDIT: Do you have the Gingerbread keyboard installed? I think that may be the cause to your problem as it breaks theming with MIUI apparently.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmin:
I installed the language pack by just going into recovery and flashing if thats ok?

Didn't install any gingerbread keyboard unless it came with original miui rom

On this install didnt wipe anything, but with previous I did factory reset and had problems with themes then too.

Cheers for the reply though
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexsapran:
Hi,

I have bought the galaxy tab. After unpacking and configurating, i found out that even i can add my exchange account and calendar and contacts all just fine when i open my email app i can see only the Inbox and not any other folder.

When "click" the Inbox to change the folder i see a notification message that it tries to get the latest messages but nothing. The notification closes and i am still in the inbox.

When i try to move a message to any other folder when i select the message and "click it" and "click choose folder". It force closes the appliation.

Has anyone had the same problem??
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
I can view any folder...remember the default to sync is only 3 days so if you are viewing a folder other than the inbox that only has msgs older than 3 days, it will appear empty. You can change this in account settings.

I also tested moving a message from the the inbox to another folder:

Clicked the menu button->selected Move to folder

selected a few emails to move so they had check marks next to them

cliced Move To and they moved fine.

This was done in landscape mode if that makes a difference, didnn't try portrait.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexsapran:
what is your version of the email apk just in case???

I have 4 other android devices and the exchange support worked just fine.

I have messages to all of the folders cause is my work email and i get plenty of messages every day.

My problem is that i can't change folder not that i change and it doesn’t load the messages. Normally when you click in the "Inbox" you get like a pop up and you choose what folder you want to see. But in my case it just do nothing.

I am using an Exchange server 2003.

I will try to see if i can get extra information from the logcat.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Picea:
I'm also with Exchange 2003, and I can see all the folders.

Inbox is the default, but if you click on the title, you will have the list of all the other folders too. Of course there is the is the limit of days how many days backwards it shows.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexsapran:
Can you please tell me what version of the mail app you are using???

mine is 2.2
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinrob:
hi, i have the same issue.

however, i configured the exchange settings for my friend on his tab on the same server and it displays all the sub folders unlike mine!

how it this possible? is this a setting within the app or on the server?

i've changed the download settings from 3 days to 1 month, reinstalled but still no luck!

You know there are 2 versions of the Tab firmware. I bought my Tab in late December and assumed it had the latest firmware - it didn't! You need to connect to Kies desktop s/w to ensure your Tab has the latest software.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcibiade:
I have similar problems

Some folders are missing

And for the sent folder it doesn't update regularly (Sometimes off by a few days or more...). I use the JME firmware but had the same issue on the stock firmware and the JM6 firmware

Needless to say that it is a real shame... Completely unprofessional app... (I use Exchange 2010)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinrob:
we both have the same firmware- JJ2. Yet I have the issue and he doesn't...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexsapran:
Update from the support.

After the first contact with samsung and after trying to explain the difference between Exchange and gmail and sending the logs to them.

They told me that they will look to it and notify me about what to be done and that cause of the holidays it will take some time.

Today i contact samsung again for a status update and told me that still they have no clue and i have to contact another support....

ps From Kies when i try to update it says that the device cant be updated. (no reason... but this may be another issue)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zentex:
indeed. I've tried all that you did, and I can't get it to show me anything but the inbox. two other GT's that connect show it just fine...My Epic shows them all too.

I'd really like to find a fix for this.

Exchange2003. The email.apk says it's version 2.2.1, and my firmware is EB28/Sprint
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexsapran:
Hi to all.

The problem solved for me after updating my server to Exchange 2010. This is not a solution i know but after the scheduled update i was amazed to see it working just fine. Another "solution" is to make the account imap but this disables the push notification but at least i had my emails. I don't know what they did but it seems to work only with the new server.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zentex:
Definitely not a solution, just throwing money at the problem. I got the email.apk/odex from a buddy's tab that works and put it on mine, cleared data, re-setup and same results...no folder list.

GAH! wtf?

Ok...so for S&G I added another existing account on the same exchange server to the email app...and guess what? it lists the folders just fine!

so I'm thinking is an account issue, not really a server issue...I'll have to dig into this deeper and pull out some exchange-foo.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharaohnough:
Have you tried the Samsung Email app?

It lets you choose which folders to synchronise and it works like a charm for me

come on microsoft let us customize these phones dammit!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ren13B:
Not going to happen.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] bkaul:
Won't happen, but if you're sold on SPB's interface over Metro, get an HD2 with WM6.5 and throw Mobile Shell on it ... same hardware, essentially ...

Personally, I just switched from a WM6.5 phone running SPB Mobile Shell to a WP7 phone, and I'm very pleased overall. The three things I miss are: favorite contacts (within people, not pinned to start screen), phone profiles (I loved that with SPBMS my phone would automatically go silent when in meetings, etc.; now I just tend to leave it on vibrate all the time so I don't have to worry about it), and the SPB Finance app to sync with MS Money on my desktop PC. The last one is really the biggest downside of having switched for me, but overall the new Metro UI is so good that it's worth it even so. Someone'll come out with a finance app that syncs with Money/Quicken eventually, I'm sure.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] buzzmanfly:

Don't think you are getting what WP 7 is. Metro is the backbone of 7. Don't even bother with 7 if you don't like it.

Any out there where you just download the whole thing in 1 file?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nofixio:
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm a little confused. I'm aware of all the S-OFF, permarooting etc and the necessary ways to get them. Before I go through with these guides however, I'd like a backup of some sort.

I know ClockworkMod is a custom recovery and you can perform nandroid backups with it, but I also understand there is a default recovery mode you can access from the bootloader that can also do that. Obviously I'd like to make a full nandroid backup before I make any permanent changes.

However, when I select 'Recovery' from the bootloader, my phone goes to a black screen with a generic phone icon and a red ! in a triangle. Why could this be? It is a standard UK T-Mobile Desire Z with no modifications aside from a Gfree S-OFF that was reversed again by copying the backup partition back.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keinengel:
That is the splashscreen of the stock recovery. Press Vol-Up and Power to get past that screen - but you won't be able to do a nandroid unless you have a custom recovery installed - sorry!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nofixio:
Thanks very much for that info. So there's no way of making a nandroid backup before I do things like permarooting? Will the unroot option in Visionary reverse that?

Presumably there's a way of reverting from ClockworkMod to the stock recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
the only time you will be able to make a backup is when you install clockwork. No clockwork no backup.

Use titanium backup for the settings and apps and then install clockwork and then do nandroid. if that doesnt work you have your TB to restore.

You can also try to "adb pull /system" and pull everything to your desktop.,... but pushging it back will require skillz.

If you want to revert from clockwork to stock recovery you need to flash stock recovery but do not do it with an incompatible rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nofixio:
Thank you, oh wise one!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Don't worry about the fact you can't do a nandroid backup before you root the phone, because it's easy enough to un-root.

You can do the nandroid backup as soon as you've got root/S-OFF, installed ROM Manager and flashed Clockwork recovery. It's very important to do this before you flash any sort of custom ROM. I am amazed by the number of people who seem to flash a custom ROM straight away with no backup whatsoever !
