With the lack of Sprint news from CES I was very surprised by this move.. Of all the tablets with that mobile focus mentioned a few months ago the PlayBook was the one I was most excited about. Unfortunately I doubt it will be a star by the time it releases as I've already seen a number of tablets from CES that would mop the floor with the PlayBook.

It'll be 4-6 months before we make another mover forward with a new halo handset IMO.

I would buy one of the blackberry tablets before I bought a crummy apple tablet... Apple is a joke and there os is even more of joke... But android on the other hand is far superior to any other tablet out there. If the android tablets didnt exist I would definitley buy a blackberry tablet though.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mySStery_machine:
I had posted this on the Q&A forum and it was suggested I come here. Didn't want to seem completely inept, but alas, I am. Here is my questions from the original post:

I really need massive help. Obviously I am brand new to this forum and have absolutely NO idea what the jargon or codes mean in these threads. Overclocking? Rebooting into recovery? SU? Kernal version requirements? I am merely a car guy and will gladly assist in ANY and all car questions. This is what I would like to accomplish. Root the phone to delete the useless programs that are just taking up space. Namely, Amazon MP3, Facebook (don't even have an account), Goggles, Google Search, Latitude,Talk, Twitter, Voice Dialer and finally Voice Search. I figure I don't need many of these since when I do actually use most of those Voice type programs Vlingo is used. Am I wrong to delete so much? A ROM is basically the screen design layout and buttons correct? I am needing set by step (Barney style) instructions on how to accomplish what I would like to do. I currently have a Droid 1 with version 2.2.1; Build FRG83D; Kernel 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5 . If that makes any sense or helps in my quest great, if not please let me know what else is needed. I have Windows XP if that matters as well. So like I said, if you have car issues or just want a little more performance or gas mileage I can help. I'm partial to domestics, Chevy especially, but can definately assist with them all. Thanks in advance all!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
I will answer the general questions and leave droid specific answers to other as i have a milestone (international version of droid).

First question:

Do you have any other reason to root besides deleting apps?

Are you running out of space?

Deleting apps will mostly let you reclaim space on your phone in order to install more applications. If you are not running out of space, this may be unnessary. This is especially true now that apps can be installed on SDCARDS. Space is now less valuable than it once was.

Another typical reason to root your phone is overclocking. This means running your phone at a higher speed than normal. This will help with games and general responsivness/snappiness of the phone. Potential side effect are higher heat and reduced lifespan of the phone. but if you are following advice here, you are most likely safe.

By the way, a ROM is a combination of operating system and applications. People customize a system image (programs, speed, themes, art, configurations) and distribue it as a ROM.

I hope this clears a few things up.

I am only asking because most people root their phones t
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mySStery_machine:
I don't know what else is possible honestly to do after rooting other than deletion of the apps. My phone has at bet 60M or so of space when using task killer. I see the new phones have huge internal memory by comparison. I have moved every app over to my SD that I can. It does seem to move much more slowly than it did when I first got the phone back in April, maybe overclocking is a good idea? How much does it hurt your phone permanently. I'm used to holding a phone for two years at a time now. Thank you very much for the input. Is Milestone so far different that your methods won't work for me?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
Overclocking will make you phone feel like a new phone.

It is not VERY risky, but it most likely voids your warranty.

It is also not an all or nothinh deal. There are degrees of overclocking. For example, most phones in the droid/milestone series are set (factory setting) to around 550mhz. Many people set their phones all the way up to 1ghz (1000mhz). I don't.

I run mine at a max of 800. The phone runs cooler and the battery lasts longer.

I dont know how different the droid and milestone are. I really dont want to mislead you with bad info. You should break down your searches into bite sized pieces. Root first, then overclock.

I am certain that good guides are available on the site to root/overclock a droid.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
Ever since I rooted my fiances and my phone his battery life is so much better then mine.

Mine right now is at 92% and has 17hrs 30mins

His is at 88% and has 24hrs 48mins.

Is there any way that I can improve mine without having to buy a new battery?

We are both using kaos v39.

Thank you for any help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
Have you tried calibrating the battery?

Look here for details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816618
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
The battery % also isn't necessary accurate.

The phone uses a calculation of voltage (as closely as it can), temperature, and activity, to determine the %. Largely, the figure is just based on voltage.

Sometimes, when your phone is charging, it can say 83%, but be at a solid 4200mV (4.2 volts). It's probably not going to charge any further. If you power the phone off, the light will probably turn green (showing you that it's charged). Then if you boot it back up, the battery % might read 100%.

Is it 83%? Is it 100%? Clearly, in the 2 minutes it took you to turn your phone off and on, it didn't gain 17% battery.

The difference between 88% and 92% could be temperature, voltage of the particular battery at the moment, who just used their phone more in the past 2 minutes before checking, and (due to all the variables) practically 'dumb luck'.

What you really will see is if you let them go for a very very long time (until they get to 0% and auto-shut off), you'll find that whoever had their screen on more often (maybe whoever does more texting), or whoever has more 3g internet doing things in the background (if one of you has an email app that checks email every 10+ minutes, keeping the phone awake, and moving data), or whoever works in a workplace with worse reception (that will eat battery very quickly, as the phone uses battery to get 'louder' so that the cell phone tower can 'see' it), will have their phone hit 0% more quickly.

The difference between 88% and 92% may actually be nothing. It's just your phone's 'guess' at how much battery is left. His phone's 'guess' is different, because the variables going into the calculation are totally different for a handful of minor reasons.

I wouldn't sweat it.

If yours hits 10% when his is still at 40 or 50%, with similar usage, yeah, that's something to pay attention to.

But the battery % isn't THAT accurate, to even sweat 4%.

I promise.

Download a kitchen, dump a stock rom and re-flash it onto your device.

(I prefer ervius Visual kitchen ==> search for it)

If every thing works fine, go step by step and modify the files in your rom one by one.

e.g.

replace some isolated ext packages

replace manila

modify files in ext packages

replace the WM rom build

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
This guide is mostly aimed to the Galaxy S i9000m owners, but it's also good for all other International SGS models as well.

The SGS family of phones were introduced July/August 2010, this give us a little bit over 6 months left of warranty, before your warranty expires, make sure the internal SD is working properly.

Upgrade to stock 2.2 as soon as possible, see if your phone can survive a month on 2.2 under heavy stress usage.

There are many LEGIT ways to test the internal SD without voiding the warranty:

Stock un-rooted methods:

Copying / Deleting large collection of music and/or videos to the internal SD

Install like 300+ apps from Android Market, then massively "Update All" in Android Market <<<<<<<<<< Most efficient test for unrooted

see if you can install any new apps from market, after the 300+

see if you can install any new apps from the External SD, if the internal SD is gone, or dying, it will get stuck on "installing....." forever

Recording 720p Videos with the camera app, until the memory runs out, repeat several times until you feel it's safe <<<<<<<<<< easy and efficient

Root required methods:

Full system Backup/Restore using Titanium Backup or similar Apps <<<<<<<<<< Best Method
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
mine died trying to copy the appmanager and titanium backup directories from my saved copy on external sd back to sd.. a few minutes after copying they dissappeared.. don't need to be rooted for that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] can6rxw:
I'd like to know if anyone had their new/returned SGS with JL2 die that was NOT rooted and is completely stock. Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
I have not had any issues with my SGS i9000M as of yet (knock on wood) and you will see the updates I have done since I purchased it on August 30th, 2011. I had no issues with it on JG9, JH2 (original), JH2 (bootload fix), JK4 (First official FroYo) or JL2 (Newest FroYo update) and I updated to JL2 on December 23rd or 24th so almost 2 weeks ago.

Man... I KNOCK ON WOOD so much hoping I have been one of the lucky ones!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you can count mine

there is a topic floating about it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tarambuka:
I've just got mine from the Bell store where I left it on Dec 17. It's the same old from the very first batch phone. They just re-flashed it with JL2. I'm not going to root it for now so I'll try all legit methods to stress the internal storage. I was thinking, what about re-flashing JL2 using a registry hack (setting an older version) with Kies after installing 300+ apps? That should probably push it to the limit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Install 300+ apps? That's like a day of work, don't you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
Or you can just flash different roms with odin :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that's not accurate, flashing the ROM leaves the rest of the internal SD untouched

you are only messing around with the partition and format, that doesn't really kill the internal SD, it just messes it up, it gets corrupted, but it can be fixed

real internal SD death are not fix-able
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
You are correct, I was simply being a little sarcastic as many believed it was odin messing up the phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
unfortunate, but true

too many people believes flashing is what kills the internal SD
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TorontoR:
simplest method which unknowingly sped up the death of my first phone was using the galaxy S to record HD video to the internal card when I was on vacation.

Or, you could just leave it plugged into a charger and leave HD video recording on. My phone died 1 day after recording about 1 hour of HD video (at various times) on the internal SD.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
That is also an excellent way to do it

and it's totally legit, no rooting required
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tarambuka:
Sounds like a cool idea. I'm gonna try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
Thumbs up,

I think this will be much easier method for most.

Not saying this is how you should be torture testing it but alternative to what Original Poster posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] knightdaemon:
Any reports of people successfully passing this test...? Maybe if someone could write a simple app that fills and empties the free space of the Internal SD Card...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mtzylplyk:
I received my phone yesterday, making a 2 and a half hour commute to pick it up. I am performing this stress test on my phone at the moment. I hope it survives.

What is the indication of having passed this test? Would I have to repeat the hour of video recording how many time? Daily over the course of a month?

I need to read up on the indicators of what constitutes a failure, besides the catastrophic kind. Any offers of advice?

Jan 8 2011 10:00 am Update:

Finished recording 1 hour of video. Repeating to further stress test. Hopefully time will tell quickly if there are any problems or not.

11:23 second hour of video completed. I will try to continue doing this cycle of recording and deleting through out the day, unless one of the experienced posters thinks this is inadvisable.

5:10 pm third hour of video complete. Decided to not delete, but fill the card up as much as possible.

6:11 pm fourth hour of recording complete, this video was recorded without deleting the third hour recording.

6:36 pm Fifth recording never reached an hour. Got a maximum recording size reached message at 20:54.

Also received an additional warning ' not enough memory available', which stopped me from doing anymore video recording. Well restart phone and try continuing.

7:25 pm sixth attempt was stopped at 40:50, along with the memory error. Tried clearing ram to see if it helped, but it did not. Restarting phone.

7:39 pm cannot attempt a 7th video. Despite restarting the phone, the memory write message persists.

Will delete videos to see if this changes things.

9:05 pm one hour video recorded, after deleting previous videos, no memory error.

10:14 pm reached 56:56 before I got the maximum recording size message.

11:14 pm was able to record another video without deleting. Recorded to 57:45.

12:32 pm hmmm . Checked my sd card memory. Only 833 MB left. Deleted all the videos, but the card is still only showing 833 MB of space left.

12:38 restarted phone. almost all the free space is now being recognized (13.02 of 13.03 GB)

Can any one interpret these results?

Jan 11 5:16 pm I got my first force close, using the xda application... :( maybe I will run some more stress tests.
