If I take ~30 minutes to do a backup with Titanium Backup (for 242 user apps + system data)...would this be considered too long?

I've just had my motherboard replaced for the second/third time (it's been in repair 3 times but i'm not sure what they fixed anymore)

I've done quite a few back ups and restores and they all take around this amount of time... - restores take longer of course
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MXQBLGH:
has there been any cases of the internal SD failing after replacement/repair in the past couple of months? I know from ~Nov to jan a lot of replacement phones/repaired phones had their internal SD failing. What about post February?

I just got my phone back yesterday. Stress testing right now by recording HD video.

Hi AllGamer, do you think it would be appropriate for our threads to merge?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dj_Frost:
is the internal SD failing only on the M models? I just got a 8gb GT-I9000T and it would sux if it's going to die soon.

The only prob I've found out with it is that it just wont record videos (doesnt matter what resolution) sometimes. It will show up a fail error msg window and just keep the loading up going around in circles unless I back out of it. Sometimes it does record, but I think it takes a reboot (never done it directly after the fail msg but once it fails it just wont record no matter what I do or setting I change)

Just got my phone back yesterday after the original died. Knew the old one was dying.. swype wasn't working at all and my mail would 'disappear' randomly.

They did a full replace (took about 10 days for the replacement) and the new one is a "10.09". Latest firmware. I9000UGKC1 2.6.32.9 shout.lee@SEP-09 #4

Do we know if these new ones have the memory card fixed, or if not, will Samsug replace with in a year of the replacement?

I know the phone itself is running "faster" than it did before, the boot up is faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mi3lp0ps:
Flash new ROM and test it ! it can be solved your problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fashloka:
yes it is correct
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shedox:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Al3xxxinho:
So, is there any way we can avoid this ?

Will the phone continue to work with the damaged internal memory chip ? ( only using external sd card and internal 2gb memory )

I bought a new galaxy s from a friend, without warranty, and now I'm pretty scared :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Al3xxxinho:
You can use your i9000 as a mass storage device and "Flash Drive Tester v1.14" ... It's a program that lets you identify problems ...

Warning!: it will delete all data if you select write + test and compare :)

It does the job pretty well, it detected my dying usb flashdrive, and it was tested on my i9000 without any errors so far :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sgsever:
Ahahah, good stress test
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Al3xxxinho:
It's not specially a stress test ... it can detect dead or dying areas of your flash memory ;) and if you really want a stress test, you can select infinite test from the menu ...

Now that's a stress test ;)

I thought it might help somebody :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onetik:
What's the point of all these heavy stress-tests and deliberately killing it off? It's unlikely that the SD card would be subjected to such heavy loads under everyday conditions.

Head on over to the perfect car mount thread in the Captivate area to see how to make a car mount for your Flipside.

I used the Nuvi 205 mount to make one for my phone which has the Bodyglove case on it. If you don't want to heat the plastic with an open flame you put some clean sand (or salt) in an old pan and heat it on your stove. I mostly bent the narrower side. The mount is nice and snug and I use it almost every day.

Update: Actual successor of the Best Android Smartphone is Galaxy S II. Clear Winner. I'm gonna start a new thread for this and see any oppositions.

Lots of Uber Cool + Super Hot mobiles were announced (& being announced) @ CES this year.

L.G Optimus 2X

L.G Optimus Black

Motorola Atrix 4G

Sony Ericsson Arc

HTC Inspire 4G (not so cool with S-LCD :p )

And our very own Sammy's Infuse 4G (S-AMOLED Plus - way2go)

Among those, the one that caught my eyes was

Optimus 2x (Of course, seen many videos of the mobile, but official announcement gives a heartbreak)

Tegra 2 + 1080p + Nova Display (So, its Nova vs S-AMOLED 2 huh?)

Is this gonna dethrone our SGS?

God! I wish this could've happened at least an year later...

Edit: If only there was a free Hardware update like the software updates ...

Edit 2: Optimus 2X price announced. Comes somewhere near $750. So it won't affect the sales of SGS largely, as the price difference is too high. If optimus 2x comes down to $600, then it'll beat SGS hands down!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
It may dethrone the SGS but not what will be announced later so keep watch on the link below. Depending on where you read it will either be at 4pm PST/EST or 7am KOR so it may be at midnight GMT. ( just keep the window open ;-) )

Welcome to the world of technology.

But yeah, thinking I'm gonna have to wait 1.5 years until I can get a new phone on contract with all this dual-core high-res stuff coming out makes me a little sad... Then again the same will happen to those.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cyberkid2002:
plus... who cares? SGS does all I want and more!

4.5" Screens ... 1080p Video Decoding ... Dual Core Processors...

Mean nothing to me, especially without major advances in battery technology
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxoid:
You should remember that new models won't make you Galaxy S any worse. In fact it has been getting quite a lot better in the past 6 months with software updates.

It will still do everything tomorrow that it did yesterday, maybe even more with software updates (OS updates or new applications).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
@ cyberkid2002 Haven't u seen the battery efficiency of the NOVA display? It's better than iphone and SGS. And Atrix doesn't need efficiency, as it carries a 1900mAH battery :(

@Tehpriest - i dunno what u r talking about...

@_JKay_ - ya, really really hope so...

Don't care about any phones announced at CES. From now on I'll only buy pure Google phones - sucessors to N1 and NS.

I'm fed up with so called "improvements" and "added value" to Android, and questionable update paths.

Since NS is just announced, I estimate that I'll replace my SGS in about 1 year from now.

Unfortunately for Atrix users, they're going to get burned just like Canadian users of Motorola Milestone (our version of the Droid) did, eFuse locks the bootloader down to only allow "authorized" (signed) ROMs, so essentially useless until that's fixed.

Yes; i think when i upgrade, it will be the next nexus, im sure another one will come out in december or so, and its purely to get rid of software issues or waiting for fixes, testing lagfixs and kernals for improvements that i Shouldn't have to do!

But still, the sgs is the best phone ive ever had and im happy with it.

Why they cant just release android 'as it should be', really baffles and confuses me!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:

Galaxy S is equal to / better than Optimus 2x.

Somewhere(gsmarena i guess), I read that in order to use the full potential of tegra, honeycomb or further is required. May be because of this, optimus 2x is lagging/equal to galaxy s.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unrealwolf:
That's android, guys. A year later and Optimus 2x and Atrix owners will look sadly on the new Optimus 4x and Atrix 2 with quad-core CPU. It's inevitable.

However, Tegra's GPU is comparable (faster but not like 2 times) to our SGX540 (look at results on glbenchmark.com), and slower than Desire HD/Desire Z Adreno 205. And i was quite surprised when i saw that Adreno 205 is faster than SGX540. I wish developers brought some magic (Voodoo, probably?..) attention to our GPU, i am sure that it could do better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emmarbee:
The title is now correct. But its not the L.G Optimus 2X, but the Galaxy S II!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logseman:

Nice theme, thanks a lot!

I only have one issue:

- The menubar + notification area is still the one from CM 6.1 (0.05-10.12.27)

Can you please help me out with that? Thanks a lot in advance!

Edit: After resetting all tweks in the CM settings and restarting my Milestone, the menu bar is black, but without transparency and the text on the menu bar is also black. I have selected the "Ginger" theme in the settings.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] santiemanuel:
Weird. Transparency is only enabled if you Disable wallpaper hack or set a LiveWallpaper. For the colors, set them manually if the xml doesnt work.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] HellbillyDeluxe:
I'm using LauncherPro as my default launcher, if that helps. Where can I enable/disable the wallpaper hack? I guess it's a ADW setting, right?

Thank you for your answer!

Edit:

When I pull down the notification area, the right side of the menu bar gets gray, but the left side stays partly black (it's where the date should be, but I haven't modified the text color yet):

Is that a bug?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] santiemanuel:
Nope. If i put transparent background to date its unreadable because the bg content
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] HellbillyDeluxe:

So the wallpaper hack is an ADW feature, right? But I can live withouth the transparent BG, so no big deal here.

Try installing another launcher, then force closing Launcher pro. Then restarting it again.
