[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
look your build.prop at system folder and check dalvik.vm.heapsize

exactly at what applications does this happen?

You can change the values of the command described above between 6 and 40.

noted that: the lower the value the faster the mobile phone becomes. smallerapplications run faster but larger applications tend to crash.

the higher the value the less rapid small applications but large applications run better and not crash.

It happens on ESPN Scorecenter, google voice, and it used to happen on the xda app.

Is there a free alternate to Root explorer, as I dont have the money to pay for it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolinux:
Some apps keep force closing back to homescreen

I've been having this issue also but, with more applications, most non-stock apps.

I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000, with official Android Froyo (2.2.1).

Basically, almost all of the applications that I have installed from the Market were force closing. Also, several apps seemed to be nonexistent (did not display in my apps list/launcher so there was no way that I know I could launch any of them).

The last time this happened (today) I also realized what I've done that could cause this (?): I turned off my phone and removed the SIM card, and inserted a friend's SIM card, just to check his SIM was OK.

I started thinking that it be because of the FAT filesystem?

Did anyone experience this problem or does someone know how/what could I try to fix this behaviour?

Hello World,

I am a little confused, I have tried to understand how to install update.zip files onto the i9000t but I seem to not understand.

What I do know, is how to use Odin and install files, either a single file or individually. Can someone please give me a step by step or point me to a thread on installing update.zip? Im a beginner that whats to make the most of my phone.

Also can I backup as everytime I update my PDA file?? I wipe everything :) Yes Im a battler.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Update zip but the first question is what update zip .

Usual zip files install via CWM clockwork mod recovery .

Boot to recovery install sdcard/update/zip.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigdyl69:
You need to have 2E recovery working on your phone in order to install unsigned update.zip files, either check your phone for the 2E recovery by going into 3 button recovery mode (switch phone off, hold volume up, home key and power button until logo appears on screen and let go of all 3) and the screen will say whether you have 2E or 3E recovery mode or here is a link to Chanfires excellent kernels which include 2E recovery but you must flash them with onto the phone with Odin. I'm not too familiar with the i9000t so you had best do some reading up first to make sure it can be done with your phone as you could brick it if the kernel is not for your unit.

Once you have the kernel flashed onto the phone or you have checked and already have 2E recovery, simply make sure the update.zip file is on the root folder of your internal SD and select the install update.zip option in recovery mode (you get into this as described above)

[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
Anyone having big issues with the capacitive buttons taking multiple times to work?

really just started bad today, previously I was hitting them maybe 5 times before they work. Now I'm having to press them minimum 10 or 15 times before any of them work, and they do not work at all if the phone is laying flat on a surface

Anyone got any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
There was a trick on how to do it, but I kind of forgot. I think they almost always work if you kind of swipe over the button.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Had that happen on my old Epic with the back button. You'd have to press hard to get it to work and sometimes it took a few presses. But that wasn't the worst problem with my capacitives. Not long after I got the phone the Menu button started pressing itself repeatedly at random, and the issue would persist through reboots, even before the OS was loaded, etc. It was pretty obvious it was a hardware issue. Problem was, it'd do it for an hour or so during which the phone would be virtually unusable and then suddenly stop and go back to normal.

I remember rushing to Sprint one time with the thing flashing and the sonofabitch stopped right before I got in the door. The guy in the store musta thought I was crazy. "Dude, it was just doing it. It was flashing on and off and popping the settings menu up over and over. Does it all the time, starts and stops out of the blue. No, I'm serious!" Then I had nothing to do but show him my "lazy" capacitive Back button and I got that look from the tech like "C'mon, really?" and so I took it home hoping that the next time the Menu button freaked out I'd be near the Sprint store.

Finally I woke up one morning and the capacitive buttons were completely dead, unresponsive. Was a relief when I brought it into the Sprint store. They had a tech work on it for an hour and said he couldn't get the capacitive contacts parted from the glass (I mean, isn't that one of the things they marked about SAMOLED, the glass has an integrated capacitive layer?)

So they shipped me a brand new Epic, and that's the one I have now.

I took it in about a month ago to show the tech and he said it was working fine o I just had to leave, nothing I could do about it

Anyone know exactly where the licenses are saved for vcast music purchases? I don't want to lose them again and have to go through the process of going through verizon to get them back. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
Simple, only partially helpful answer: don't buy music through vcast. Thee are tons of other, mostly DRM-free options out there.

The fact that you're in fear of losing said licenses is a pretty good indicator.
[Fascinate General] Fyrmedic654:
yeah I know, vcast is a pain, I'm talking about the purchases I already have. I usually use itunes...now
[Fascinate General] mrodsunshine:

any idea how I can pull them up again?

[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
For a while I had to use a third party app from the market to get fb syncing to work. I believe the app was called simply "fb sync". Not sure now as syncing started working when I updated to froyo so I uninstalled. Lemme know if you can't find it and I'll dig around for it.
[Vibrant General] Guticb:
My gallery app has a horrible tendency of creating folders that definitely don't exist on my internal memory.

I have at least 20 folders simply named things like:

1

10

11

12

15

18

This has been going on for a while now, but it's never REALLY bothered me until now. Any idea how to fix it?
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
This happens to me sometimes. I think they are thumbnails from the web or some other source.
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
I agree ^

One of your apps might be creating folders, to name a few examples Heroes of Sparta creates a folder with a new video. NFS downloads a whole bunch of music, Bestube downloads a lot of pictures (useless), etc. So it might not be the gallery but a third party app.
[Vibrant General] Guticb:
It's not any of my apps.

The pictures in that folder are pictures I've taken with my camera or downloaded from people who have texted them to me. They just appear as duplicates in the gallery, even though when I look at the files on the memory stick and phone, they only exist once in the Camera/Downloads folder.

Edit: Some of these pictures SHOULD be in my downloads folder because I saved them from an MMS but aren't.

I can't seem to find the folder they're actually stored IN, though...
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
You can try backing up the files you know you want to keep, format the internal sd through the phone, then restore your files. That should remove any dupes on your sd. You may want to do the same with the external sd as well.

[Vibrant General] Guticb:
That's a great idea, thanks!

Before I do that though, there are pictures that SHOULD be in the downloads folder, but are in those weird folders. However, I can't find those anywhere with any file managers. Any idea how to find those pictures and move them to the downloads folder?
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
That I don't have a clue, I'm ocd about my files, they get put where I need them as soon as they hit my phone. If you're seeing them in the gallery, they have to be stored somewhere, sorry I can't offer any advice on that part.

[G Tablet Accessories] tom108:
good deal.
[G Tablet Accessories] wd5gnr:
I had a problem with another tablet that (maybe by random chance) started when I was using the battery (yes from Woot) with it. I took a meter and measured the output of the stock adapter (12.2V) and then the battery with and without it being plugged in too the wall (12.5V).

I am an EE and you would _think_ 0.3V would not hurt anything, but since it sounds like a few people have done this I thought I'd ask: Have you been using the battery with the tablet and had no ill effects?
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Looks like she doesn't like 720p mkv video. Rock player (old version) plays at like 5fps. Meridian locks up and video player doesn't support that file type with this phone. Could it be this phone isn't meant to be a good multimedia phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Heh, I'm emailing devs with logs a lot with progs that aren't working. Ya gotta love new phones!
[EVO Shift 4G General] krazyfiend:
'vplayer' works rock solid for me (no pun intended!)... the alpha one (yeah, I ante'd up and paid the donation, well the first 100 user donation that is...even though the devel had said it would stay free forever, I love the app and felt he earned compensation). I use it on the Tab (Sprint) i have gratis (thanks to work).

I played a mkv of old school 720p and and a hi-def wmv (pr0n, lol) ..both work fine w/ 0 lag. All my xvids and flv's and mp4's have worked flawlessly. I ripped the old school file myself from a hd-dvd copy I had used handbrake on, a longgg time ago.

Ill try some other mkv's that are newer...Girl With a Dragon Tattoo...and a few others when I have some time away from work.

I'm thoroughly impressed...of course, I was stuck back on a TP2/WM 6.5 for a handset, so of course I stand to be impressed, lol. I was using my lappy for any mkv / 'hi-def' content prior.

Cheers!
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I'm downloading it now. I deleted the mkv I had on the phone darn it. The first two episodes of stargate universe. I hope they release the swiss army knife of media players, vlc on android. Yeah I know thats actually perian catch phrase.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I found a video player that did a little better but still was unwatchable. It was called vital player. Just for laughs I pulled the card out of the shift and put it its big brother. It played just a little better than the shift but still unwatchable. The frame rate was little better and the sound skipped less. That makes for an interesting benchmark. The cpu on the evo was a tiny bit more powerful enough to make a slightly noticable improvement in playback. I imagine a 1.09 gb mkv with 48khz sound (maybe 5.1, I don't know) and its about 45 minutes of the episode I was testing, the bitrate was just too high for the phone's cpu to decode. Hell, watching it on my 2ghz macbook makes the fans kick on high and does a decent job of eating up a battery charge.

I think, just my opinion, the epic was maybe a little better suited for watching movies than both evos. I don't remember how well it played the same kind of file but I think it played good enough for it to be watchable. No major frame rate slowdown or jumpy audio. I'm also noticing that video players that I used on the epic played more different video codecs than the shift does. These same players and files are refusing to play on the shift now. I imagine there's more codecs installed on the epic. I think one of its features was it would play divx out of the box. The evo shift isn't as versatile.

I guess you gotta trade some features for others. Recording high quality audio on the epic was bad. It studdered like crazy. Recording 720p on it made the video app crash. High quality audio recording is flawless on both evos. I have yet to test the shift with 720p video recording. I need to see if it craps out like the epic or compresses too much leaving some artifacts like the evo.

I will post my results when I get around to playing more with video recording.
[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
There must be a way to install additional codes on the Evo's though. The Epic does it so well probably due to the GPU.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Carrick1973:
I don't have a Shift yet, but am hoping to shortly.

What bitrate does the phone record the high def videos as? Whatever bitrate/audio rate the phone records at, it probably plays back those same files without hiccups. If so, try compressing your videos to the exact same bitrate and see if that works.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
You have a good point and that would probably work. One problem would be it would be a pain in the ass to convert anything you want to watch. It can record in 720p but I know that the video and audio bitrate isn't as good or high as hdtv 720p mkv's.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
Odd. The shift processor is actually under clocked to 800 mhz. Its the second generation of the one in the evo and so it should be just as fast. I've run benchmarks and the two perform on par:

Smartbench:

Evo: 1102/1172

Shift: 789/1120

Clocked at 1ghz the shift should outperform my evo. Just don't tell my wife <.<

Sent from my cm7 Evo 4G!
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I just remembered a funny old question. Okay, so this machine is the fastest and most powerful available. Will I notice a difference when I use microsoft office?
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
Also, just used vPlayer to test 1080p avi playback and it was flawless.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I just ran videospec on a file and it said its video bitrate was 3693 Kbps. That's a lot of information trying to go through a small pipe...

With 720x480 dvds I encode with handbrake, I usually don't go higher than 2000kbps. The phones usually don't have a problem with that speed in playback.

Are you running Nookie Froyo? or AutoNooter??? Just curious. I'll give it a shot on Nookie Froyo and see what happens. I agree though, probably worthwhile to start taking a look at this in the likelihood that bluetooth will be figured out soon.
[Nook Color General] rumitg2:
im running auto-nooter and neither orientation works. I want to have skype to use it as a chat app because i want to use my NC as my school computer and that wont work unless i can kill time in class chatting on skype. plus i dont want to use my skype credentials on a third party app.

When I open skype, I can't see the button when the tablet is tilted either vertical or horizontal. Can you elaborate? Do I need to set my launcher to be full screen?

Like the guy above me said, take out the battery so your phone is off, put it back in, hold the power button and volume up at the same time and you should get a special boot menu, plug your phone into your computer while in the boot menu, follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853674 to flash a sbf, download any of those firmwares, preferablly 2.34 because you dont have to make a motoblur account, and hopefully u made a backup of your system before, so reroot your new flash, install the system recovery, and restore to your backup, and it should be just like it was before :(
