[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
i noticed that i had a dual "android.process.acore" constantly running at 100% cpu, making the phone jitter and most likely causing the battery to drain faster than necessary, so by long process of trial and error i found that any type of dialer app was causing this spike, especially third party apps like 'atakephone/dialer one etc'

The stock samsung dialer app is not as bad, it causes the process to run at about 50%.

hi all was wondering what are the best replacement headphones with a mic on the market at the moment?? as standard ones have broke and are s**t! i have been looking at the following but unsure as to whether they would work as the standard ones do to use for calls. not bothered about buttons for mp3 or answering as much just to use as hands free....

below are the ones i have been looking at. any info / advice would be appreciated.

it really depends on the kind of quality you're looking for. I got myself a nice pair of etymotics and my wife a pair of ibeats (she loves the bass). I've heard decent things about skull candy but as I'm an audiophile I refuse to use them lol so I can't comment from first hand experience.

Hi,

I have a fully stock Sim Free DHD on 1.72 which i am thinking of downgrading and installing a custom rom onto, but before i proceed i would like to clarify with someone in the know as to whether i can simply restore the phone to complete unrooted stock by installing a WWE RUU.

I have searched around and found conflicting answers so i'm asking directly so i know where i stand!

Many thanks in advance...

(1)

I think it is insulting how Samsung released the Froyo update. This was not a mass update... this was a "lets shut the people complaining up update!"

Updating through Kies ALWAYS = people posting about problems/issues.

Why is it they could not do an OTA? I personally assume it's because it was not ready (hence the KA7 leak) and THAT will be an OTA for the masses to froyo (or an update to those who used Kies). This is my assumption.

But shame on Samsung/T-Mobile for this...

I would STRONGLY urge new people to NOT update to froyo via kies. I WOULD encourage rooting your phone and flashing the new custom roms that are based off the newest builds (even newer than KA6 which was the "official update").

(2)

I think a thread dedicated for the new ROMs in the Q&A section would be awesome. Consider it an "ask a dumb question and expect a quick answer" thread. The less crap/clutter from the development section the better.

I imagine hardly any posts in the development section are of benefit to the developer.

I feel the Nero V4 sticky is a good example. Though I feel a sticky is a bit much.

(3)

Anyone want to create a thread (or show me one) with all of the stock system apps attached? It would ne nice for those times when someone is asking for them....

(4)

Does anyone have the skills to make the dropdown "mute" button also mute Media. I hate that currently it will mute everything but media... as it inevitably always leads to me making noise when I think I am muted.

I now use Widgetsoid to mute my phone completely.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] dcpetterson:
I don't care how they released froyo, as long as they also release source code soon since it was an "official" release.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
They have 60 days. Should not take that long. I just question why it was not an ota. Consider me skeptical of Samsung.

Want source? Request it: @SamsungMobileUS should work.
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
I agree that this was to shut people up, however, as a person who hasn't flashed a rom yet, I commend them for it. I really didn't know what I was missing, and if KA6 is laggy, I can't wait to see what isn't laggy. I'd like to root my phone next, but I have no idea if I'm hardware locked, so I'm inspired to do more reading.

Mini Kies is not difficult to use. People just don't read.

ETA: I agree that there will eventually be an OTA for fixes to KA6 and for people who did not even know about this.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Check and make sure that your phone is hardware locked now as I know that one of the ROMs took care of this issue.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Isn't it that updating through kies is faster than ota? People wouldn't have to wait, unless you're a mac user. The JI6 took forever for them to send it. I waited like 2 weeks then i just flashed it through odin because i was really tired of waiting.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Personally, I do believe that KA6 was suddenly delivered via Kies to shut us all up.

However, I don't really mind how updates are released. They don't have to be OTA. As long as Samsung releases timely updates, even if it is via Kies, then I will be a happy customer. (Oh and they still need to fix the hardware gps flaw)

If they release Gingerbread via kies in a timely manner, I will even somewhat forgive them, but I still will not buy another Samsung made product again for a very long time if ever.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
im glad atleast samsung decided to give us froyo... i mean now we can get a little bit of work on our roms since we have a official now.

but i think that "official" rom was made in 2 days, because if you notice, its laggy as hell, and the only difference is theres wifi calling and a few other apps, thats IT.
[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
I have the same opinion. I believe this was just a "shut them up" maneuver and the easier softer way for them to do it. Also from what I have read in the threads there seems to be a number of people with problems from the Keis fiasco.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Well, it actually has the Dalvik Jit Compiler which somewhat improves the Hummingbird cpu performance, there is also Flash player.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
well i guess all that lag takes away from the dalvik jit :P

also the flash, we've had for like months so you know,

S15274N Great Posting

I agree on your general Ideas. I really like the Idea of posting a fast Q & A

I like the Idea of Making a thread that lists all the stock apps (with apk attached etc.) for those who want that sort of thing.

And, I agree Samsung is just trying to avoid a Gun Fight with the customers. We customers Really are making it hard for Tmo and Samsung to continue their personal "*****-match"

We need to continue to Keep the Pressure on Samsung to keep them adhering to the open source licensing agreement thet agree to when installing Android.:cool::cool::cool:
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Yeah, I was not trying to say I am upset they released froyo... but more picking on them for HOW they released it. They know 99% of Vibrant users are not even going to know it was released, and if they did, they wont bother with Kies.

Them releasing source will be huge. I hope they release it as fast as they did for the canadian fascinate once froyo was released for it. I'm still a skeptic of Samsung and expect a future release to be the next "official froyo"
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
they'll probably release it on like the 60th day waiting till its like 11:59PM then they upload. lol.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Based off your #1 statment I can only say that this is exactly why they released the "official update". The thing is after the first rumor was released and the **** hit the fan causing multiple threads and 1,000's of post, among other things, there was a small thread and article that was covered and only happen to receive less then 50 post that stated:

The same credible source that gave the first rumor added the reason why samsung and/or tmobile haven't given the update Is because samsung is charging the carriers for OS updates. This means samsung was expecting each carrier to pay per handset sold(later to be denied by samsung).

You can have your own take on samsung or tmo, but the remainder stays the same. That is if the sites which released the rumors spoke to the same source and one rumor is true, then possibly the second Could be also. This also shows 2 other things that will forever fault the android community and the Internet alike. The mob mentality and the feeling of some type of entitlement will cloud the truth or fuel rumors and/or other things that none of use are entitled to know or understand.

One good thing that has come out of this is the fact that now samsung is responsible to release the 2.2 source.via the GPL. Going forward id say Let's try and not let this happen with the real ota, if that ever really happens... lol.

Moral of the story:

Becareful what you wish for. You might just get it... kinda.

With t-mobile exchange the vibrant under warranty if it's been rooted and rommed? And how about a cracked screen?

Sent from Samsung Vibrant rooted with Nero V5
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jersey_609:
You can always unroot it and flash a stock Rom but if the screen is cracked they won't. If u purchased the extra warranty you can go though that and pay the deductible.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jersey_609:
And when u call t-mobile to set up the exchange one of the question they ask is, is there any damage to the phone or screen .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
no, it will cost money, and you need extra-warranty for cracked screen.

like the guy above said, if you tell them that nothing's wrong with the phone like theres no crack, and you send it to them.

they will tell you on the phone that you WILL be charged 500$ on the next bill for the new phone, and they will probably send you the other phone with cracked screen back.

or they'll sue you.(unlikely.)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
forgiveness if this is wrong info, but i believe many of the first gen WP7 devices are using the same snapdragon CPU and GPU combo as the nexus one, the adreno 2.5 i believe. yet those devices are smooth as butter on all parts of the OS, including any web page you throw at the browser.

is there a reason why the same is not achieved on the nexus one and android phones? i assume its down to drivers, but seems silly that android wouldnt be similar...anyone have insight with this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
Minus the x,y axis touch screen limitation my n1 is pretty smooth all around, what sort of differences do you see ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Don't get me wrong, my nexus one is smooth as butter in 95% of all areas. Home screen scrolling and transitions easily must be hitting 50fps. But certain websites like engadget or this forum can skip a tad. Throw those same sites on new windows phone and It's smooth as butter.

I just wonder how this is possible with the same chip set, especially considering how our adreno is supposedly not the best.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
do you have the "enable plug-ins" setting in the browser set to "on demand"?

i have mine like this and xda loads pretty quick, ondemand just lets you tap on a flash item when you want it to be rendered.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Yes on demand has been set for many months. I'm not talking about load speed, but scrolling smoothness once loaded. There are minor examples else where in the OS. But in general I'm wondering about drivers between the 2 platforms. You'd prob have to use a phone to see.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
ill check out my friend's wp7 tomorrow at work. i cant get my phone to be choppy on this thread or the main thread or the gigglebread thread zoomed in or fully zoomed out :\
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehgeekguy:
Probably cuz the browser on WP7 is based off the best internet browser EVER. Duh!

</sarcasm>

But seriously, it's a different OS, and the browser is different than ours. My wife had an HTC Surround for about a month (returned it cuz of lack of apps right now), and I will say, it was a pretty nice phone. Maybe after a few updates it'll be something to look into again, but right now, it's at the beginning of it's life, so there's a lot missing in my opinion.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerendeiro:
It's all about code optimization, proper drivers, hardware accelerated graphics...

since android must run on many devices with many different cpus they can't optimize everything for the snapdragon, as they've done with WP7.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
that's kinda the direction i was going. i wonder if this is something that qualcomm perhaps helps microsoft with providing optimized drivers, or they were paid to do so. it just shows how the snapdragon and adreno are pretty powerful but get a lot of negative talk around the community for it's graphics capability.

seeing as it was goog;e's first and initial phone, its too bad they did not attempt the similar performance optimizations. i mean each individual phone needs device specific drivers anyway, so its too bad they didnt take it to that next level.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Someone on Slashdot linked to a very interesting article relating to this problem.

Google "The Care and Feeding of the Android GPU"

(Note: This has probably been posted on the forums before, but it seemed worth adding to the current conversation)

EDIT: Wow. Terrible grammar. Wish I could blame Swype, but I'm pretty sure I'm just a moron lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
actually this totally answers my question. thanks. reading that slashdot article, there are some great comments at the bottom, one with a link to anandtech article about WP7 and GPU's etc. also a former google employee commented on the topic.

so basically yes MS very tightly controls things and wanted it that way. android has to code for common devices across many manufacturers etc.

one interesting thing the anandtech article says that WP7 is capped at 30 FPS by microsoft due to battery concerns. some dev's complained. remember the EVO had that cap, and it sucks because of it. but playing with WP7 devices i didnt notice it a bit. strange.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
and the real answer as others have said in the past is lack of UI hardward acceleration. interesting topci on google bug tracker explains it all. but 3.0 seems to fix it!

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Simple, there is no hardware acceleration in the UI. Only apps that are programmed to use the GPU will use it.

All,

So, we used to have a lot of issues with locked Orange Desires and simlocking when upgrading the radio. Now, it appears that the 5.09 radios didn't cause simlock and I've seen reference to the 5.11.05.14 also not causing it.

Do we have a definitive list of "safe" radios for Orange Desires or are we now okay with any 5.xx.xx.xx radio that's 5.09 or newer?

(yes I know I can unlock for about £9 on eBay but if I don't have to I'd rather save the cash and buy a couple of apps ;))

Cheers.
