[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
If you have some patience(!), for £300 this phone is the best android imho.

I mean patience for upgrading ROM, fixing problems, and generally maintaining your phone, and bear a bit of choppiness(even after lagfix). If you don't, just buy an iphone4 or htc hd7. Both are good as well, tho different os.

I love the screen, sound quality, android customisation, loads of free apps, and dedicated developers that makes our life easier.

i like aosp so much that .. i9000 wont be the 1st choice :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tongas:
Hello there, this is the order of the day...

Just when I'm about to sell this phone (going for an Inspire) which has gave me a great service -but for the bootloader issue- this morning when I wake up, I tried to unlock the screen and no reponse.

Last night I just leave the phone on the desk and remain untouched, no damage no nothing, just the touchscreen stopped responding.

I just did a factory reset through the recovery console since I can not access the software and it seems to not help. Still no touch screen.

The phone is pristine, was rooted but not further mods and still with eclair.

Is there anyway to determine whether this is a hardware problem or software problem?

How to unlock the screen using the keyboard or buttons combination?

Is there any common hardware issues related with the touchscreen on this phone? Since it has the slide thing I assume it might have few but I barely use the physical keyboard so I'm lost.

Any help/input highly appreciated.

:)

I was wondering if the fact that I have seven home screens full of.widgets reduces my battery life at all?

Swyped from my super clean froyo voodoo powered fascinate... Lookin for more speed!
[Fascinate General] akaine2001:
short answer... Yes. like a @#^$!%*!@$%*..... especially if u have widgets that update using the internet, or at time intervals. you need to have these set to lower variables sometimes that will imrpove battery life, and download Green Power from the market, it will turn off your net connection when you arnet using the phone (beware if u use gv for texting cuz you wont get text unless your screen is on)
[Fascinate General] Tkun:
Say you're using LauncherPro, and you also have ADW downloaded. If ADW has widgets, would they still be updating and reducing battery life even if you've killed the ADW task and you're using LauncherPro? Or does it not waste battery life if the ADW task is ended?

I've always worried that using one launcher and having a whole bunch of widgets running on another launcher would reduce battery life.
[Fascinate General] mrodsunshine:
Yes it will reduce battery life because you are effectively running two launchers and two sets of Widgets at the same time. Make sure you disable/remove all Widgets on the launcher you are not using.
[Fascinate General] jkat797:
Of course having widgets will cut down on battery. But if you don't need all 7 home screen, I suggest you cut down on the pages a bit. Hope this helped
[Fascinate General] FallenCow:
You extend battery life by adjusting the update interval for various widgets. For instance, do you really need the weather to update every hour?
[Fascinate General] stayin100:
I cut it down to three with no widgets that update besides my, weather clock, thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z General] dthboi:
So long story short i fell on ice and somehow my g2 lcd screen cracked. No biggie bought a new one and changed it. It works i see everything fine. The problem is the brightness is permanently stuck at 50 percent. It wont go higher or lower so could anyone think of any reason this is happening? I opened it up again and checked the cables everything is attached perfectly fine. Any help would be appreciated. Also when i adjust the brightness, the touch buttons like home menu etc change their brightness values but not the screen.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahirhussain:
my desire hd was on official 1.32 (something) and then i flashed core droid 2.2 which was an awsome rom and i had no issues whatsoever, then just for the variety i flashed android revolution 2.0.11 and i didnt quite like it (i did a full wipe) as it was a bit laggy and the proximity sensor seemed to be off which was quite frustrating as it would not turn the screen off sometimes and when it did ,it would not wake it up when the call ends.

now i flashed leedroid 2.0 today but the proximity sensor is still not working right. i would like to know if anyone else has this problem. i am pretty sure its not hardware related because it was working fine on official rom and core droid.

How to change CPU governor/speeds in 2 clicks

1) Download Widgetsoid & instal it

2) Click/tap on homescreen and choose widgets

3) on widgets, select Widgetsoid

4) select 1 x 4 (you can make it smaller later)

5) On the bottom bar, scroll to the right, and select "shortcuts" , then click "Applications"

6) Check "all activities." Then scroll down, and select "CPU" settings

7) Save it, and you'll have a widget that once you click it, it will take you to the CPU settings screen!!

You wont have to go to settings and all that. and you'll also skip the "Dragons Ahead Message"

:D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v8dave:
Hi All, over on some of the other forums I am seeing a lot of talk about battery minimum voltage and why it seems higher than it should be. I noticed tonight as my DHD reached 6% battery left (after a busy day) that it was showing approx 3.65 volts and was approx 4.21 when fully charged this morning.

I know there is a lot of talk on keeping li-ion battery life longer by not taking the battery down to the discharged state, ie around 3.0V but I am sure that even if this could be lowered to 3.4V I am sure this would lead to a little longer life per day. I can live with a reduced battery life for the sake of a longer usage per day. New batteries are not that expensive these days.

Now, it may be that the power supply design in the DHD can't handle a lower voltage (it would need a buck/boost design to generate the 3.3V needed for some of the hardware if the votlage was to go down as low as 3.0V but the core CPU and memory should be OK. (I don't know the full range of voltages for this design)

I wonder if there is a way to get this lower without any serious side effects?

Cheers

Dave...

PS.. Love this phone and a longer battery life would make it the greatest ever. I could even live with the phone being 1.5 times thicker just to get this but the world seems to be screaming out for thinner... My old HTC TP2 was a thick beast but very manageable.

Eugenes 4G Kernel - NOT EXCHANGABLE

Too many obstacles to overcome as a hybrid - went back and am now using the EB/TW 4g as my base.

Bloat Free

Superuser, Busybox, Quickboot

Excellent battery life

Shows "H" for H, H+ and 4G

Accurate battery - Thanks to both Krylon360 and Sombionix for the tips!

Added Bloater, SGS, Rescan Media Boot, Spare Parts, Titanium Free and ROM Manager

Removed LP and replaced with TouchwizGTG

You won't believe how cool this is!

Install:

It doesn't matter if you are coming from a fresh Odin or not, we want a clean install so follow the install steps.

Download Gothi.RC6.zip and place on your sdcard.

Boot into recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset Before You Move On.

Flash Gothi.RC6.zip.

While still in recovery: Wipe Cache Partition, and inside the advanced menu: Wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions - Just These Three Steps, Do Not Factory Reset Again. THIS TAKES YOU LESS THAN A MINUTE, DO IT OR DON'T BUT DON'T QUESTION IT - THIS PROCESS HAS PROVEN TO BE THE BEST GUARANTEE OF A SMOOTH FLASH.

Reboot Your Phone.

After about 10 minutes, you should reboot again to clean things up and wipe out any bugs.

Enjoy!

Nice!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Great job as usual Jellette! Flashing this baby right now. Going to get started on the usual cool [expected] add-ons. ;)

Thank you very much, I was hoping you would!

So how much of this build is actually kae?

TW Bionix 1.2.1
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
App folder: 2.2.1

Apps were ported to run on the KB1 2.2 framework. So this is interchangeable with 2.2 apps, and with 2.2.1 apps ported over to 2.2.

Framework-res: 2.2
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Trying it out now!

I love you guys! :D

Will test wifi
[Vibrant Android Development] irockstar661:
Great work. Glad to see you figured it out. Will try later as I patiently.await the muiu build. Great work edt!

[Vibrant Android Development] bbm21:

does this mean a possible darky's rom port :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I'll be doing this up with one theme, undecided what it will be yet. But any theme in our themes and apps section made for stock 2.2 will work on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Settai:
Good stuff, but is there actually anything major that is different from 2.2?? I remember hearing the browser is now hardware accelerated, but when I did a google search I got all kinds of conflicting answers.
[Vibrant Android Development] player4lifeov:
Probably a dumb question, but what are the advantages of running 2.2.1?

Anybody get to reboot and check wifi yet

[Vibrant Android Development] timon184:
I highly recommended its crazy fast and stable everything works for me, and I mean everything, but if you do come across anything wrong, post it and im sure they will try to get it working again. Voodoo is disable by default so if you want that enabled you have to go to recovery and enable it from there.
[Vibrant Android Development] timon184:
jellete are you going to continue to work on the MobileAP thing or you gong to leave it alone for now, I have the MobileAP.apk and the MobileAP.odex and when i push that to settings/apps it still don't work.
[Vibrant Android Development] jpelagio11:
Dont know if this was already posted but theres a problem with the Google Search widget after a search the widget disappears. I had to drag the widget from where it was supposed to be to the trash then had to reapply it to the home screen for it to reappear

Currently running ______________! (<----Insert Rom name here)
[Vibrant Android Development] mr.orange303:
Still no go. But hey mobile ap is the least of my worries when everything else works very well so far.

And to cash indeed flash. Its stable. Good in this state. This could be the stock rom and be good.

But if you want to wait go ahead. Thats fine as well.

My vote get to flashing. Its good.

A
[Vibrant Android Development] mr.orange303:
Am I wrong in thinking the capacitive search button does the same thing as the google search widget thus making it useless to waste real estate with said widget?

I mean is there a benefit that using the widget will give you over the CAP search key?
[Vibrant Android Development] jpelagio11:
I dont use it but i did notice it wen playing around with it. Good point tho

Currently running ______________! (<----Insert Rom name here)

camcorder

hi,

I would like to ask what focus comes with the camcorder on this ROM? Is it fixed focus, continuous autofocus, or manual touch-to-focus?

galaxy s with rom 2.2.1 has manual touch to focus and I would really like to have that feature as well :D

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] kopykatkiller:
It's there as a show of what widgets can do maybe, and possibly for an instance where a device manufacturer does not include a search button? I just know it's been there since the G1, so it is probably just a staple of the Google app package. On most phones though your right, it's not really needed.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:

[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
I certainly wouldn't mess with OCLF or anything else that uses binds, but voodoo simply changes the file system to ext4. I seriously doubt it would slow anything down, though it may not show a noticeable improvement either.

I am trying everything i can to find out the little things that you guys might want to fix for the next....

Fix for this should be in the updates. MWBehr fixed it in the Settings.apk post a few pages back. :)

ok this is what i did so far, I odin back to stock, then reflashed this beta 2 and now when i go to turn on the bluetooth it FC, now I can't even turn on to try the file transfer. Another thing is that under display i cant see the 5 unlock screen either, nor is the power menu, nor the H ect. it appears as if the EDT_221_5Lockscreens_PowerMenu.zip is not even in the update.... Talk to me, that is y i odin then reflashed to get the beta 2 in correctly.. however the setting works, the sound and display work. so maybe something was left out ?

i'm going to flash the KB1 Kernel anyway, but just wondering if that's what i installed already yesterday before the beta2 update to OP
[Vibrant Android Development] ephesus79:
Actually, I just downloaded and installed and I don't think the links are for Beta 2. What I downloaded did not have the additional options in the reboot menu, plus I'm getting a FC in the brightness settings (which should have been fixed in Beta 2). I tried both links (OP and the one in the second post) and they are the same.

Jellette, please help! =)
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
As I am waiting on my phone, I am work on finishing up the theme - A special thanks goes out to Alpha testers for doing my flashing for me!

Mobil AP will be addressed once the phone gets here.

Time to start thinking about a name for this thing.

Is this the new Ragnarok? Is this something new?

If you follow me then you know my naming convention.

What do you think this should be called?
