[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durps:
Well, like most G2/Z users, I am suffering from the bronzing of the soft-textured parts of our devices. I barely even use my keyboard in fear that it'll get worse. Usually I wouldn't care about such a thing but I plan on keeping this device in good condition so it has a better re-sale value. I want to sell this so I can get a dualcore device as soon as they become available.

So I want to find out what its called in hopes that I find a remedy to cure this bronzing lol. I might not find anything that can remove it, but it won't hurt to try :D

Thanks for any input guys.

Its called *RUBBER*, and you keep it clean by WASHING YOUR HANDS.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Actually, every review I've read says its a type of plastic, smarty. Seems to me that its too hard to be rubber. Although there are tons of various rubber formulations.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rewen:
As far as I know it's just rubberized plastic. But if it's bronzing on its own it might be a bad batch of the plastic. This happened with a lot of products, most famously the SNES (Super Nintendo). Sometimes the chemicals won't get mixed properly, etc.

It's a super soft plastic. The more plasticizer you put in say, polyurethane, the softer it becomes. They use a similar product when prepping a car bumper before they paint it in order to increase the chance the paint will stick.

Anyway, that's my best educated guess. A soft polyurethane coating. Basically, soft paint.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rjphillips1:
Hi there,

I've a galaxy s running 2.2.1 I think, kies reports the current firmware version is JF3, but the latest is JPY.

I only got it to this state last week, and am not sure I can be bothered upgrading and having to set up bookmarks etc again.

Can anyone tell me the benefits of JPY compared to JF3?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
you can check the android version in "about this phone", not only the firmware code name.

Any Android 2.2.1 *stable* (not leaks) for the Galaxy S is fine in my opinion. Changes are usually minimal from version to version.

But i'm not sure if JF3 is 2.2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathijs727:
Jf3 is 2.1, a really slow version.

Upgrading to jpy is deffinetly worth it.

You get tons of new things like flash player.

And its much, much faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumble6059:
Hi all,

I am currently using Webstar's Ultimate ROM v7.2 but have decided to switch to Darky's latest.

I plan to do a full wipe during the installation.

I have downloaded titanium backup from the Market, and paid for the full version. But I don’t know how to use it!

I’ve just told it to do a batch backup of all user apps and data.

When I install the wipe ROM I will of course be wanting to restore EVERYTHING.

Will titanium be able to do this? Will it restore all my apps/ games/ games scores [angry birds/ grave defence Etc]?

Will it restore all my SMS/ Emails?

Will it restore my desktop wallpaper/ widgets/ launcher pro settings?

Finally when I come to do the restore, do I select the RUN – restore missing apps + all system data?

Thank you all in advance

Matt
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Sometimes i have noticed that if you backup system data and restore it on another rom it can cause some issues (FC's Unresponsiveness, Apps not working) so its always best to do a wipe version... you can backup Apps + App data but i never backup system data if im moving ROM. but thats upto you...

and as for your sms/ wallpapers/ homescreen arrangement it will not save them.. but some launchers have the option to backup the homescreen so check that first... anything on your internal sd card. back up to your PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumble6059:
so if i just back up apps + app data will i have to re-set up all my e-mails, contacts, wifi...basically all phone settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
I agree with azzledazzle.

Use titanium backup to restore your apps and save data but i would use it for much else than that.

When you wipe your phone it will ask you to input your email account anyway on the first boot up So all your email will be back,

You will lose your sms though...

If you use gmail sync all your contact to your gmail account so they will all be put back on your phone autimatically on the first boot.

Hope that helps a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
+1 this is the best method. your emails will stay intact, as for a few sms there not worth keeping (unless they are dirty sms from a dirty woman) lol

Hi,

Have my Desire running Oxygen 2.0 RC6 for now with stock tables and 1gb EXT3 (why is flashing tables so much harder? lol). Running oxygen with my standard apps I have about 115Mb free of internal memory.

I've been playing with a couple of other ROM's however I seem to end up with MUCH less internal mem - usually about 60-70Mb free with the same range of apps.

Have I done something wrong? Is there something I can do to "push" apps on the internal memory to the ext partition?

Cheers in advance :)
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Has been mentioned about a dozen times in the oxygen thread, the dalvik cache isn't moved to the ext partition any more. There should be some flashable zips to get the old script back or you can fix it manual by replacing the a2sd script with a older one.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamvivian:
I am posting this to help others who faced my problem. I have tried this on my galaxy tab running Froyo (Android 2.2) Build number FROYO.DDJK3.

Problem 1:

Cannot connect to internet using corporate office Wifi. I could connect to internet from my home wifi network but not from my office wifi network. From office network I could only access emails, not internet.

Solution:

(A) Ask your company IT system admin to allow your MAC ID to access the internet. MAC address is found at Home--> Menu button--> Settings -->Wireless and Network-->WiFi Settings --> Menu button -->Advanced-->Mac address

(B) Find out if your company has a proxy server to access internet if yes, add in the details of “Proxy” and “Port”. These settings are available below MAC address mentioned in step (A) above

Problem 2:

Now I could access email and internet through browser, but apps (gmail, market, Samsung apps, etc) could not access internet. After some research I found that this was because the apps were still not using the proxy server to access the internet (even after entering the proxy and port details under the settings as above).

Solution:

(A) Root your Galaxy Tab: I used z4root. Method is described in http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab/ However, use the latest version of the z4root app, available at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953 (I used version V1.3.0). Since I didn’t want to mess about too much with my Tab, I only did a “temporary root”.

(B) With your Tab rooted, install TransProxy. I used Version 3.08 beta, available at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766569 Run TransProxy and enter your proxy server and port details.

That’s it. You’re Done. Now all my apps had access to internet‼

In the whole process there was no need to reboot. For good measure I only disabled and re-enabled Wifi and had internet access in email, browser and apps. The process was quite easy. I am not a developer or anything, I just researched a lot on the internet and thought it would be helpful if I put this down in one place.

I am posting this as it was a frustrating issue and I could see many people searching for a solution.

Note:

I have not rebooted the tab and checked if the settings remain after reboot. Z4root says that if you temporary root, the tab stay rooted till the next reboot. Since I don’t really want to mess around

EDIT

Just checked. On reboot, the Tab gets unrooted and Transproxy is not longer able to work. You will have to root again and then enable/disable transproxy. I have once again opted to "temporary root", as I don't see myself rebooting frequently.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathanf:
Hey all,

I am looking for some advice from seasoned members as to why I am totally unable to get my battery life on any of the GB ROM's I have tried (GV, Oxygen, ReDux) anywhere close to that of DeFrost 6.1.

Over the last few weeks I have tried each of the above ROM's for at least a few days each and functionality wise I have loved each one. But consistent across the 3 has been double the battery drain when on WiFi with screen off. On DeFrost 6.1 I get a consistent 4-6ma drain overnight, every night resulting in me losing around 4% over 8 hours sleeping. With all the GB ROM's, this figure is at best 10ma and more often than not, 12-16ma.

I've tried numerous kernels (.35 and .37)and on each one and as I said, the lowest I have managed to get down to is 10ma drain. Almost twice that of DF6.1. Each time I have had WiFi Sleep Policy set to never.

On the individual threads it seems the vast majority of people are very happy with the performance of battery on these ROM's, but myself and several others do seem to be suffering. It's been suggested that it was rogue apps causing the drain, so each time I have performed a full wipe and installed the bare ROM and CurrentWidget only, to rule out that scenario.

The frustrating this is, if I turn WiFi off, then the draw on the GB ROM's falls into line with that of DF 6.1 at 4ma.

Can anyone suggest what may be the issue or does GB seem to inherently use more juice on WiFi than Froyo did?

Thoughts/comments?

Thanks in advance,

Nathan
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barefootpilot:
A lot of people have commented that you need to set wifi sleep policy to 'never' in the wireless and networks settings, and then to save the change (menu button---save).

Some battery icons only change after a certain percentage. For example, Flagship is 20% increments. So the icon remains fill up until you hit 79%, then the icon changes. Just look for an accurate battery mod for your ROM or get a battery widget from the market.

Hi,

Do anyone knows if there is a real advantage in creating a partition in the phone sd card, [sd-ext]?

I read that it solves this error: E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

(File Exists).

But, does the phone has a real gain when you format and create a new sd-ext partition?

Thanks,
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
If you have a ROM that has data2ext or app2ext then you'll notice a speed increase as well as a drop in usage on your phone's internal memory. I have a MT3GS and with data2ext I went from an 1100 in quadrant to a 1600
[General Topics] striken:
Thanks for the quick reply, :)

When you say, data2ext or app2ext, are you saying app's that can be installed in the ex-sd card?

Can I do that in cwm or there is a better way?

Cheers,
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
Data2ext and app2ext are ROM add-ons that enable you to either move the entire data partition to your sd-ext or just all of your installed apps. If you use data2ext your apps are automatically moved since they're stored in the data partition. You would flash them the same way you flash a ROM if the mods are available for your phone. Just search the forum for your phone if you want to know if you have those options.
[General Topics] striken:
Thanks mate,

I installed move2sd enabler.

So I can to move all the apps to the sd-ext partition I created?

I'm going to search for that.
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
I honestly haven't used move2sd so I'm not sure how that works. It should be a separate script like I mentioned before.

[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
Check if you have a blocksize of 4096 (there's a command, don't know it offhand) and make sure it's actually an ext partition, it might be a different type or may be the wrong type of ext, such as ext2 when it needs ext3 or vice versa.
[General Topics] striken:
Already did the check,

su

sf

And there's no new partition created.

CWM erased all the data inside my card but did not create a new partition.

Do you thing it's because I have lagfix on with ext4 part type?
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
Honestly I have no idea. I used the parted script/command from adb to do my partitioning. Maybe try that or try converting to ext2?
[General Topics] striken:
Thanks,

I'm going to try and take a look in to that.

I see a lot of posts that say to use RA-Recovery with sdk adb but does it works with an SGS?
[General Topics] dbzfanatic:
I don't know honestly, you'll need to look in the SGS forum and see if a Ra recovery is posted there. Parted works with adb and can be added to any ROM regardless of recovery menu.

From what I saw Ra-recovery is not for sgs's.

I still didn't saw any posts that explains how to do a sd-ext new partition for a Samsung Galaxy S, only for HTC's and other phones.
