[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2606896:
hi,

since monday i have a i9000 and it is always the same problem.

i start the mp3 player

play some tracks

press on pause to get a coffe or talk to people

and if i finally want to continue playback, mp3 player is gone.

i love the lockscreen feature of this player but if i have to do recreate my

playlist and last song every time i want to hear music, i will get crazy.

as you can imagine i could not find anything helpful here or in any other forum.

maybe i just chose the wrong words to search for.

can anybody give me a hint how to prevent killing, or a alternative to the SGS mp3-player that also has lockscreen integration?

thanks

bennson

the device uses the latest stock-firmware by samsung including samsung task manager
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] filou75:
Humm.. when you press "pause" and do other things, it's gone.

Well, it's not a bug, it's a feature ^^

If you want to try other players *with* lockscreen widget, I used some like :

- WinAmp :

- Music Mod + Music Mod Lock Screen

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2606896:
thank you for these hints on alternative players. i will try.

i do not agree that pause means that the player is not needet anymore. i would agree if i'd press a stop-button and it would then exit after a while and not save it's current status. but on pause?

just imagine your "real" cd-player would just shut down after a couple of minutes when you press pause?

yes, in the way that the process manager looks at this process and sees it is not active it is ok to send term after a while.

but this is a case of "works as designed but not as expected".

edit: i think a well designed mp3-player such as winamp would know about androids process management and autosave current playlist and song...

my conclusion: it's a pity that samsung did such a nice looking player with that awesome lockscreen-integration and forgot to add one this absolutely common feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mstrandbo:
Yeah, this problem is very prominent on 2.2, but after I started using 2.2.1, I haven't had the problem. So they did some fixing there :)

Now I can pause it to take a coffee and resume afterwards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2606896:
thank you very much mstrandbo. this was it.

i am on 2.2.1 (XXJPY) now and there is a mp3-player-core service running. this keeps the current state of playback.
[Defy General] luisd77:
guys,

I still can't update from 190 to 360. Since the error message I get mentions "boot," I'm guessing it's got something to do with the fact that I changed to bootloader when I tried the CN 2.2 ROM. So, 3 questions:

1. Which bootloader version should I have with the original T-Mobile software.

2. If I have the wrong one, can someone point me to the one I need? I imagine I need to install it using RDSlite.

3. After trying out a few ROMs, I'm sure there is some fragmentation left. Which is the best way to clean/wipe/format before I install another?

Thanks guys!
[Defy General] luisd77:
Anyone? I read about using Clockworkmod, is there anything better?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shad0wboss:
I was quite disappointed by not getting a reply to my questions in my phone section so i decided to post it here, hope you guys'll help me out.

Before i perform flashing a rom, i have a couple of questions to ask you.

1. I'm not familiar with nandroid backup and all that. So if someone can give me some explaination of how it works and what i need to do to have a backup of my rom so i can flash back to orignal one whenever i want?

2. Also i heard from people that after flashing some ROMs, you can't get back to stock rom (recovery), if so then how you know that certain rom isn't flashable

3. Is there a difference between recovering (flashing stock rom) and downgrading? if so then what?

4. How can one brick cellphone and how to recover back, is it easy to brick?

Also some basics if i need to know so that i don't brick my cellphone and can easily get back to my official rom whenever i want. Please do tell me anything which i should know, Thanks !
[HD Mini General] crio333:
Dear Developers and ROM Cookers,

Is there a chance to ever have a WM7 rom for HD Mini?

I know Microsoft recommends 1GHz Snapdragon or faster, but i'm sure the 600 MHz Qualcomm's computing power should be fairly enough at least for running the OS.

(I mean, come on, some years ago, we all had old PC's with CPU's slower than this, still able to run Win98 :))

384 MB of RAM should be more than enough.

I think the major drawback is the HVGA resolution: indeed, to my knowledge, no WM7 phone was released in 480x320, in fact all i've seen are on 800x480.

Hence, i have no idea what device's ROM should/could be used as a basis.

I'm a programmer myself but have no experience whatsoever with WM, that's why i'm asking this (dumb?) question: is it possible to addapt the OS from one device to the other (e.g. Mozart to HD Mini), though the CPU and screen res are different?

Is the OS so highly hard-coded that memory mapping, resolution and HW button functions are impossible to be changed via some config files?

Thanks for taking time to give it a thought!
[HD Mini General] johnsk:
no i don't think that the mini will able to use Windows phone 7.
[HD Mini General] crio333:
Thank you johnsk for your reply. Reading all throughout similar threads, i understand it's very complicated or even impossible to addapt ROM's from one device to the other, especially when HW specs are different.

My question though, for whoever is willing to share the detailed reasons, is:

Are the HW-specific configurations in a ROM (e.g. resolution, memory mapping, HW buttons etc) hard-coded in the ROM, or are they accessible via configuration files?

I mean, Microsoft ships the raw OS to the phone manufacturer.

Later on, development teams of e.g. HTC R&D are tweaking and addapting the raw OS to the device itself.

My question to the knowledgeable ROM cookers and developers is: can those tweaks be reverse-engineered so that a shipped ROM can be modified to fit another device, OR can we maybe get our hands on the raw OS as it comes out of M$, then configure it ourselves?

Thanks!
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
WP7 won't come to our HD Mini. Indeed, the Snapdragon's computing speed isn't a big deal. That would only be handy to use apps (because those are designed for it). The real problem is that Microsoft only impelemented Snapdragon support. So our Qualcomm CPU is not supported and so not recognized by the OS, making it impossible to ever run WP7. The only very little chance to maybe ever run WP7 is by hacking the OS and add Qualcomm support or make a workaround to evide the Snapdragon checks.
[HD Mini General] crio333:
Thank you so much MadMatt for taking the time to explain.

Bad news for the Mini and for us who like its small size yet powerfull enough HW.

Well, at least we have you and the other dedicated Chefs who squeeze as much juice as possible out of the old WM 6.5.x for us :)

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

am posting here cause i dont have the access to post there.

so plz all developpers go there at Android on photon thread, and give our friends the help.
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
Kind of off topic but as you can't access the thread, I understand it. I contacted 2 devs that helped porting Android to the HD2 (that should be very experienced ones), but got no reply yet...
[HD Mini General] Vannystick:
Do you REALLY want WM7 on the Mini?

I've not had a long play with WM7, but i really can't see that it makes any massive jumps in terms of technology and user integration. The mini is fantastic in terms of speed, weight, size screen, WM6.5 makes the phone slow, difficult to use, and lacking in useful content. I cant imagine moving to WM7 would really help!

He could just pull the app out of that ROM and install it like a regular app on his phone. If you really want to you can install it back to the system/app folder which is where it was originally.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hweiee:
1)

The ARHD thread strongly recommends using:

Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2

Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF

I'm currently using:

android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/ace/radios/ace.26.04.02.17.zip

Is mine the same? I don't know if my current one have suffixes or not.

My HTC DHD's default stock (before changing anything) is 26.03.02.26_M.

Questions:

1. What do the suffixes M, M2, and SF mean?

2. Why so many versions of radio? I understand that radio controls cellular connections, gps, bluetooth, etc... but with each newer "radio" that is released, is it more powerful? more energy saving?

3. I live in Singapore, my provider is Starhub. Are the different radio versions (in terms of phone and data connection) meant to suit different providers? (Hence I should revert to my phone's default stock radio?

4. I often wish Wifi/ Bluetooth/ 3G data connection can be "boosted", even if it is at the expense of battery life. Is it possible here? How to configure? (E.g. I know that for my router, with 3rd party firmware, I can increase the wireless power)

2)

On currentwidget's logged data graph, I realise that my current usage fluctuates alot. Is this normal?

11am-12pm was listening to internet radio and connected to bluetooth headphones.

about 5pm-7pm was listening to mp3s and surfing internet on 3G.

other than that, the phone was in standby/ lock-screen with screen turned off, and wifi/bluetooth/gps/auto-sync all disabled.

See the screenshot:

3.

"SD Card unexpectedly removed"

I did unmount properly on my PC before changing back to Charge Only mode on my phone.

Sometimes it just suddenly happens when I'm browsing the SD card contents on my phone too.

Is there a fix?

Is there a way to re-mount without opening up the back cover and pushing it out and in again, or restarting my whole phone?

4.)

How can I edit/ access the Middle Name field in my contacts?

Apparently some contacts have middle names automatically formatted, and my phone can read them. But when I go into Edit mode for the contact, there's only First Name and Last Name.
[Android Apps and Games] eiKr:
I need a bit of help! I don't have a clue what its called, so makes it a bit tricky to search for it!

I basically want a widget on my home screen that allows me to put my phone to silent (not fussed about multimedia). Is there one out there? Ideally free.

Any help would be great! I also have Desktop Vis if that helps, and if its possible to do it with that.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] tina333:
Long press home/shortcut/system/sound you will get a widget that you press and it takes you straight to the page to make the phone silent. There's a ton of apps that do just what you need, search "silent widget" or "silent toggle" and pick a free one with good feedback. Till then the way i mentioned above will do as it uses no space or battery and its free :-)
[Android Apps and Games] nibynoga:
I'm an avid fan of Widgetsoid (on the market). It's free and incredibly customizable. You can set a 1x1 widget with silent mode only and make it look pretty and fitting your theme.

[Adam General] inspiron41:
so ever since Slashgear published that article about Notion Ink Adam's poor battery life, i went ahead and did a little time lapse video trying to see how quickly the battery drained while playing back a video clip.

The video is composed of two parts, showing a 1 hr battery drain with a playback of a media video. The video being played is a 1080p divx avi file straight from the SDCARD2 directory. There are two drains done -- one in Pixel Qi Color and the other is B/W mode both at 50% brightness, 50% Sound Volume, Wifi - OFF, Bluetooth - OFF, GPS - OFF, Sync - OFF. MVideoPlayer was used as the playback device.

Please view the video to see final result!

[YOUTUBE]YrDw7_33_eg[/YOUTUBE]
[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
For those who just want the results:

Normal Mode = 5.89 hours

PixelQi Mode = 9.09 hours

(Both Test: 50% Volume and Brightness with Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS off)

The thing is, this really isn't the best test of the battery life as you are dependent on the battery percentage to be completely accurate. If the battery on your Adam is anything like all the battery powered devices I own, it's very likely that the battery indicator isn't accurate.

When I was performing a full battery drain-test on my ViewSonic G-Tablet I found that the tablet was actually fully drained when it was hitting the 25-30%. Clockwork Mod has a feature for clearing the battery statistics (under the Advanced section). To get it to work, I had to drain my battery completely then plug in the device and do the CWM battery stat reset. After doing the battery reset, I left the device plugged in and charging.

Perhaps a more accurate test would be to do a full battery drain using the tests you did -- instead of just an hour sample.
[Adam General] litening:
Inspiron, Thank you for yet another insightful clip.

Although I fully agree with Josh. We would need to have a full battery drain test.

I myself, ordered a 3G PQ yesterday and got a bit spooked about the battery life complaints.

Inspiron, you have had your Adam for a while. Can you give an indication of how long it lasts you on one charge and how you use it during that time?

That would certainly help me decide if I had better cancel my order before tomorrow morning or if I just wait and see if my Adam will have the dreaded battery issue.
[Adam General] gbishop18:
Mine lasted well over 10 hours with moderate to heavy use and periods of staandbye. More use than not though.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
long enough where i dont worry about bringing the charger to work. with light to moderate use, i end up with more than 60% after 9h.
[Adam General] inspiron41:
not like it makes a huge difference, but i ran "Simply Clock Live Wallpaper" in the background while doing that test. live wallpaper are so great to play with on tablets
[Adam General] litening:
Thanks inspiron, soothes my mind.

If you had to order again, would you take a PQ screen?
[Adam General] inspiron41:
i read a lot of PDF for work and kindle books on the side. So yah from that point i would go with Pixel Qi because it save me a lot of battery life. but everything else, i use regular color.

i would go with Pixel Qi again because the technology they're using for LCD isn't mind blowing like compared to IPS or Super AMOLED. if those two other choices were available i would have to think about it.

i would suggest to purchase whatever fits your needs
[Adam General] litening:
Thanks. I got the PQ 3G two days ago.

I will be on the move a lot with it (incl working on trains when sun shines etc.).

I took the PQ for exactly the same reasons you did. Battery and versatility.

I too work a lot with PDFs, which I also need to be able to annotate. Got Repligo PDF reader app for that.

Means I no longer need paper copies of contracts (over 200 pages each) that I need to negotiate or implement.

Thanks.

Feeling more comfortable with my choice by the minute. ;-)
[Adam General] inspiron41:
i forgot to charge my Adam last night because the plug wasn't inserted correctly. so i tried to quickly charge it before i left, and i only got it charged up to 76% before i head out of the door. So after a full work day (9hrs), after some light reading, wifi-ing to read my RSS feed, and an unexpected game full game of Robot Defense HD (won!), my battery was down to 37%. that's about 39% drain, normal with what i quoted before. It seems the battery drain is linear to me....
[Adam General] litening:
Unexpected game? What? It jumped out at you and coerced you to play??? Just kidding ...

Congratz on winning!

Still impressive battery life. Can't wait for mine to be delivered end of Feb (I hope).

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
The "My Account" application can tell you how much data you've used during your current billing period. Going beyond 5 GB may indicate a throttling, but you would likely have received an SMS from T-Mobile informing you of the choking.

If a reboot doesn't change behavior, then the most likely cause is a problem external to your phone -- such as your local cell tower losing its wired line connection.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevo817:
thanks... I rebooted x2, even unrooted using the VISIONary (uninstalled setCPU, superpower)... no change, did a battery pull, fired it back up, no change...

I just re-rooted, DL'ed my apps again, and guess I'll just wait it out...

one of these days I'll do a REAL root, but I like the stock UI/ROM... lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
Just another thought -- try switching to an EDGE connection instead of HSPA+. If I remember the stock OS correctly, you can do this by setting the data connection type to "GSM Only". If the problem is related to a 3G or 3G+ cell tower, perhaps a 2.5G connection will work -- it is different equipment, and might even be on a different cell tower.
