Its a problem with wifi, if you leave it on it will continue to "crash" but actually its only the screen that wont wake up, when that happens try calling your phone, then restart and check the call log you will see you have a missed call... Anyway I havent found a way to solve it, I just turn wifi off while Im not using it... and it havent crash since then..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pongskey:
why is that every time I open an apps for example Gmail then I close it. It is still in the active applications in Task Manager? Is there a solution that could entirely close the apps automatically when I close it?

Android 2.2 (root)

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
That's normal Android behaviour. It leaves apps running in the background until there's too little memory available, then it closes those apps.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] villemann:
marvelous.beat - thanks for the suggestion, I will look into that. :)

Install from the Market an app called Advanced App Killer. It's free and very useful because you can set which apps it should ignore, all the others will be automatically shut down in time periods you can set yourself :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rufik:
Why can't? Are the power saving functions far better in 2.3? I don't think so.

Delay is not only wake up - it's present everywhere. It's related to "screen on", ex. during call screen is off (by proximity sensor) and after call end you need to wait 1.5 sec for screen on. It's really annoying. Notice that button backlight comes immediately, then 1.5 delay, then screen is on.

I don't belive waking up device takes 1.5 sec - it's faster, but screen on is delayed. Really annoying...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] viktorlj:
For me, Froyo was annoying with random SOD's. For everyday use 2.3.3 is far better for me. At least, we have choice, so if you don't like 2.3.3 you stick with 2.2.2. I switched to 2.3.3 because of random SOD's.

BTW, Samsung and Google claim that power saving functions are different, not me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] thunderror:
I wouldn't really recommend using app killers with Android. Due to the way Android is designed, tasks aren't meant to be killed. They are meant to remain in the memory. And please realize that freeing RAM doesn't mean your mobile saves battery or becomes faster. Android as an OS is smart enough to know when to kill your apps.

hey guys, im a having serious headache here.

few days ago i changed my sd card from 2GB to 4GB and i flashed my phone to the lastest firmware (S5830XXKPE) and rooted it.

well here comes the problem! i connected my phone to the computer via usb to copy songs and some files into my sd card. however it hangs and become unresponsive while transfering files into sd card. and so i cant copy files from computer into my sd card! well, i did try by using micro sd card reader, the copy process goes smoothly BUT when i put in the sd card back to my phone, it shows nothing in it!! as if i dint copy anything!!

HELPPPPPPP !! is it the SD card problem or the firmware problem ?? i guess it is not the firmware problem since i have been browsing through so many threads from various forum and couldnt find anything related about this. any ideas about this problem ??? helpppppp this problem really freaked me out
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bluffyone:
if you had no probs while using 2gb card then i guess its your new sd cards prob.

just format the card once and try. if that doesnt work then its your cards prob.

also just try using the 2gb card with the existing firmware to check if its working fine

I wanted to update to gingerbread. but from reading various sources, they give a different firmware version per region. but nobody explains anything. What would happen if say I'm from Asia and I install the European firmware(i.e. Gingerbread)? What issues would i have to face?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] manju991:
Dude the only problem u are going to face is intially there will be a european language... well you can change that to english in the settings. Also you WILL NOT get any asian languages like mandorin, korean or japanese.

You will not be a valid candidate to receive warranty if you go to the service center with this european ROM. Just flash the asian rom and they will not know....

I have bricked my phone once:cool: but I go its motherboard replaced for FREE (of course in my warranty period which is 1 year:D). Just dont worry, but PLEASE go through the flashing tutorial in the development section, its really GOOD.

have fun flashing!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] princenoob:
Im thinking if our hardware can support 720p recording.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] miomiguel:
Thanks a lot for the assurance dude! was not very sure why they were putting "Important: Check Correct Firmware for your region" I will get to flashing when i get the time. will let you know how it goes.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Concept Black:
Hello, I am completely new to the world of Android and I feel like a total newb to technology, it changes a lot from Symbian to Android, at least it does for me.

I currently have the Ace with Android 2.2.1 and Froyo, my question is; to be able to install different themes and apps that require gingerbread or similar and that require to be deodexed... Will I be good to go by only installing VilliainROM? Or should I add/change other stuff as well?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
no, just flash villain rom, or optionally. first flash to gb kpe and then flash villain rom.

Battery Status Bar

For me, the best.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jonathan_m84:
I created a new topic on this in the android software and hacking general section, please check it out..

For now I just managed to deodex and zipalign all the apk's and root it, but Im working on other stuff too.. please be patient, because I do have a full-time job (working on master thesis) and a very sweet girlfriend so I don't have lots and lots of time...

could use a couple of extra (experienced) hands too ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Danji:
Will be very great, if add full android option in call setting, accessibility and display setting.

In comparison to my sgs, ACE lack some options. For example, the vibration when press the soft touch, toption for set to answer the call by pressing the home button, or refuse the call by pressing the power buttom.

Emulator have these option. Samsung removed it and my girlfriend need some of these ;)

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vatastala:
Guys, I have some issue with my battery. I bought my ACE 4 days ago, first time charge 12 hours, everytime I remove my phone from charging I can see battery level from 100% to 80% in some minutes. I tryed to use my phone until 10% different times, with charge cycle of 12 hours too but nothing. Now I installed battery left, and the software requires many time to calibrating Its measures, in the mean time battery system indicator go down so fast. When It is at 25% going down become so slow.

What do you think about this? Any solutions?

ps: sorry for my english :-)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Danji:
If you have root, you can wipe your battery status.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vatastala:
Yes It's rooted with superoneclick 1.7. I found many guides regarding battery wipe, but I really don't understand some points. Could you please provide a link to understand well how to do this??? Thank you

uninstall

try someone after root uninstall some "system apss" (these cant be uninstalled without root) ? work this ok for samsung ace? thanx :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] peeter123:
I removed some bloatware with titanium backup. This works perfectly on the Ace. Just be careful with what you remove, because deleting the wrong app can screw up your OS.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Danji:
- Use phone until you have very low battery (below 5%)

- With a file manager (i suggest root explorer) delete the file located in:

/data/system/batterystats.bin

(backup it first)

- Turn off the phone.

- Do a long charge (about 8 hours) without turn on the phone (ex: at night)

- Turn on and use the phone (with never turn it off) until it completely discharged.

Now the battery status will reset and you will give back 100% functionality.

Anyway, you can use Battery Calibrator on android market. This app have a script for do that: "Backup and Remove batterystat.bin" ;)

Hope to be helpful.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:

1. Can the Samsung Galaxy Ace be updated to a higher version of Android? Like Gingerbread or 2.3?

2. How to update the firmware? Does it have like Samsung Kies?

3. What is the url of the official Android Market? I'm new to Android, I was before with Bada. We have samsungapps.com. How about for Android?

Help a newbie decide.

Can anyone here who have a good heart that could answer my earlier post. Thanks! I really need help.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sahilkhurana:
1. Yes, I think the h/w is very capable of running 2.3

2. Samsung Kies is the official way to update firmware

3. Url is market.android.com

You can open Market app in the phone as well.

In order to install from url or market.android.com you will need a working connection (Edge/Gprs/3G or Wifi ) on your phone.

If it is not possible you can download apps on laptop and put them on Sdcard and then install

4. Flashing and Rooting are different.

As far as I know, Flashing is anything that you burn in the device. It can be official or unofficial Firmware. Odin is used for this purpose.

Rooting is getting root access on android to run some apps and open up the door for burning/flashing unofficial FWs

5. You can update FW without rooting but in that case, it will have to be through Kies and Samsung has to release it ( which will take time and they may not go beyond 2.3).

One quick question

Hi nprussell / others - I have a quick question.

I wish to upgrade to VillainROM 1.0 for the Samsung Galaxy Ace (2.3.3/lightweight) from my current FROYO.DDKC1.

However, I'm wondering if I can revert back to DDKC1, *if something goes wrong*?

I'll be using ODIN for flashing the ROM. But I read somewhere that it's nearly impossible to move down to Froyo after a GingerBread flash?

Please help me out here.

Yup, I tried to go back to froyo after using Villain rom but i couldnt, even if odin showed the flashing to be sucessful, the phone doesnt reboot at all.

i had to flash to KPE version and i couldnt install froyo at al.

ace blocking ports on wifi

I've got a problem that the ace is blocking incoming ports when i'm on a wifi network (at home)

When i try to an app like lazydroid or archosremote the ace is listening to some ports. In the case of lazydroid this is port 8080

When i'm on wifi it is impossible to get a connection to port 8080, when i'm on 3g this works fine.

i've got 2 other android devices that work well on wifi with the same apps mentioned.

I also can't ping the the device when on wifi.

So i think the ace is blocking all incomming ports when on wifi.

I was wondering if someone else is having the same problem, and if there is a solution to this problem.

I have a problem with a gallery on my SG ACE, the pictures are deleted, show up to half.

Otherwise the image is seen immediately after the shooting but the problem will appear later, sometimes even next day.

Also sometimes be deleted, and some songs from the album.

Is it a problem to the SD card or the phone itself.
