Duplicates are really frustrating; this can cause other conflicts as well. On the side note using duplicate remover tool Scrubly Duplicate Remover is really effective. This automatically scan and delete those duplicates , merge compatible contacts and resolve other related conflicts.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I was curious enough to want to go ahead and try this. Google's own duplicate & merge feature misses some things, and I have just around 250 contacts so it would be a PITA to manually do things unless I absolutely have to.

Unfortunately, this is what I got when I tried to sign up for Scrubly:

I did sign up; we'll see if they respond in a timely manner. :(
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrogers1:
I'm not sure what you are referring to about it "missing" some things but I just found that after flashing to the newest CM7 release, all my contacts were duplicated. I used the merge function on the web interface (not the phone) and it worked perfectly.

I'm not really sure why the issue even happened but I'm glad Google had something in place to help fix in short order.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I used Google's manual merge feature recently and I'm satisfied with the results, but I have nearly 300 contacts AFTER merging so it was a lot of manual work.

I was referring to Google's automatic duplicate detection in the same menu. All the contacts I manually merged were missed by it's duplicate detection feature. Probably 50 duplicates (25 or less contacts since some contacts had three or four entries).

Hi to everyone. Noob question, like plasma TV's and LCD's you can change / tweak their color values, hue, brightness contrast etc. Some even go as far as open the service menu of the TV to do a more thorough job. I was wondering if there was a way/app/hack to do this on the phone.

The screen is great but a bit too saturated and plays on the blue/green spectrum a bit too much.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Hardcores speed mode kernel has color adjustments for cool and warm. So I think the answer is yes, but it is not easy and requires knowledge of programing the device
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
galaxy tuner app.

flash kernels with color adjustments (i.e. voodoo color)
[Captivate General] Yuna:
voodoo color even not needed for Galaxy Tuner ;)
[Captivate General] angryphoton:
Thanks, I am quite new with all of this, I tried searching for Galaxy Tunner app in the market but did not find it anywhere there.

Thanks though for the input, must be core complicated that I think.

Anyway it would be great if phone makers in the future build in some sort of screen tuning app and presets, you know how like TV's have a cinema mode, vibrant mode, etc. plus a few basic controls for color temperature and hue.

[Vibrant General] hurricanes52:
I had to bring my virant to the store for warranty for, so ofcoarse i flashed it to 2.1 update 1 w. Odin. Everything went good. I came home and wanted to obviously re-root and flash a rom. Well i used 2 verisions of one click root (im on a macbook) i first go into recover because 1 click root wouldnt take e there, while in revocery i it root, then reinstall packages, it takes me to CWM. i click reboot system. and now i look on the phone and no root access but i have CWM? Would i just be able to just download the zip to my sd card, use CWM (even through im not rooted) and flash the rom that way? ALso i want to know why this is happening, ive rooted 20+ times no problem
[Vibrant General] serban954:
yes i do that all the time. the custom roms come pre-rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alien.46.uk:
After finally getting JPY on my SGS I'm now finally using it properly (Odin download). But it's already annoying me.

Market is constantly failing, downloads are slow to appear and sometimes start, sometimes decide they dont feel like downloading, some downloads pause and fail to restart.

Just tried it on my DesireHD and it works fine, even without my sim in and just using Wifi ... Please note SGS is on Wifi too ...

This phones software seems so so bad it's unreal?

EDIT: Searching for apps on market takes hours and constantly get retry issues. Is the Wifi on these hones so unstable or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
hey.... first of all SMILE :D:D

i think you have just experienced a bad flash / ROM ... JPY in my opinion is very stable and fast... i have used it and had no issues what so ever and overall performance was good (without lagfix) the wifi connects is seconds of entering the street on my device...

when you flashed the ROM did you also do a full factory reset in recovery and did you use PIT file and RE PARTITION ???

if you didn't i suggest you do and try again.... or you could go for some custom ROM.

the latest stock/custom ROM is XWJS5 released only 1-2 weeks ago and that is good.

you could also install a lagfix to eliminate any lag..... dont get mad.... madness only causes more errors
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
Try XWJS5 ROM

[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
@alien.46.uk

Glad that you finally got JPY on your device, first of all, you can't compare HTC desire or desire HD to this device when you get working right, you will understand what I mean in time.

This is your first flash, you need to make sure that your device has XEU as CSC, to do so you need to enter *#272*IMEI_Number# in dialer, if it's not XEU choose XEU and hit install, it will reboot changing to XEU.

The second thing is to get to Recovery Mode, that is Volume Up+Menu+PowerO On, choose wipe/factory reset and reboot.

The third is to clear Market cache, it's under Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All and choose Market, hit the button "clear data" and see how Market behaves.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] k!pps:
All the symptoms that you've written in first post make me sure, that you should reflash the jpy again with wipe. This should help for your problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alien.46.uk:
Not reinstalled yet, battled on and got everything installed, but might just start from scratch.

Do I have to start the whole process again because I assume my device is no longer rooted and I need to start again through the whole process?

Used the instant root software Ramad linked me to in another post. Is there a permanent root method?

EDIT: Im thinking this cuz my Superuser icon has gone and extended controls said my device wasn't rooted etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:
Try JS5, it's newer than JPY and more stable. If you're interested, here's a link to a package I made for my phone with the JS5 PDA, JPY CSC and JP5 modem (Vodafone UK stock modem). I've been running it on my phone for a while now and it works great: http://www.multiupload.com/Q1O3GP6AJP

You can root permanently with SuperOneClick

Good luck!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
well if you shall start from scratch the move to js5. its better. then you flash a custom rom. that will make your phone faster. just make sure the rom support your country code.

you can doc rom kitchen to make a rom that working for you.

there is no reason to have a slow and buggy phone. all solutions is here.....

[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You have to root everytime you flash.

Before flashing check your CSC and see if it's XEU, the stock firmware of an unlocked Galaxy S for England is XEU.

Do a factory reset in recovery and flash using 803.pit or 512.pit, I use 803.pit, but both are good (you may only re-partition if your ROM is of three archives of tar.md5), after flashing do a factory reset again, clear Market data as I described earlier and then root (you have to reboot after rooting using super one click, or the phone will be laggy) and then install busybox.

Odin, 803.pit and 512.pit are here: http://www.multiupload.com/J3BOFW3S30

I think that there is no more to write about it, after so many posts and guides it should be crystal clear on how to make a Galaxy S ready for use by now.

Edit: to all the guys trying to recommend JS5 over JPY: This is his first use/flash of a Galaxy S, and he do live in England, the official firmware of Samsung for England is JPY with XEU as CSC.

The official firmware for Netherlands is JS5 with XEN as CSC, let him try to do it right before trying anything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
one note.

you don't need to root if you choose a custom kernel or rom. they already fixed that.

use pit 512 or pit 513. stay away from pit 803. you should also only use a firmware with the 3 files. just to make the phone fresh and clean.

**DamianGTO Ultimate kernel. 350MB Ram. 600HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
What are you talking about? How is it that 803 bad, and how is it that 513 is good, can you explain?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
all pit file change the partition on different way. many times pit 803 has made things working bad. 512 and 513 the best choice. pit 513 do have a little bigger system partition then pit 512.

**DamianGTO Ultimate kernel. 350MB Ram. 600HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You know that the trading of ROM allocations are only happening between /system and /dbdata and all other allocations such as param, data, kernel etc are fixed:

512.pit: /dbdata=127MiB

513.pit: /dbdata=107MiB

803.pit: /dbdata=117MiB

What is interesting here is that 803.pit is offering the best balance between /system and /dbdata.

Why 803.pit is not popular is because all the lagfixes have been made to read and write data according to 512.pit partition table, later on the firmware DXJPE could only be flashed according to 513.pit partition table and further support for the 513.pit have been added, this is why using a 803.pit with a lagfix only brings problems for lagfix users.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
if you think that....

The numbers of /system and /dbdata are not correct but that will give you an idea of what I think or what I know.

Good night :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
yes i know. i was there. lol.

but you try to say to use pit 803 when you also do write its not so good.

you blame all that make lagfix.

you also advice a user to use it even you know its don't work well.

so if you want to be able to use anything you like you stay away from pit-803.

this debate is over for me.

**DamianGTO Ultimate kernel. 350MB Ram. 600HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Where did I write this?

I did not blame anything, you did write why 803.pit is bad, I can't find where you gave a reason for that.

Where did I write that it does not work well on a stock firmware?

I can't call it a debate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
double post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Egh.

It might be over for you, but once again, you are acting like some coding god, who never has to prove claims of any type. You have proven nothing in this case or ANY case. Why is 803 bad exactly? What makes it so? And where are your basic statistics which show lots of people were having trouble?

If you can't prove it, just say "I can't prove it", and "I simply think it's true". But you don't need to treat everyone like crud to make your point seem more valid.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:

Perhaps you should try spending some of your time testing, and PROVING anything you say, and I'll have spare time to do more...

Ironically, we wouldn't be EVER having these discussions, if your responses to every debate wasn't "I don't need to prove myself, because I am always right". Never, in the 9 months I have been here, have I ever seen any evidence that you do ANY testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:

Try do something for yourself instead.

I do test and read alot on things i do.

I have zero obligation to show you anything.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Ironically, you also say that EVERY thread.. You claimed the same with the capacitor thread, and the only one testing anything on that damned thread was myself. And when we do, you disappear, or ignore it. The fact is, you can't prove your "problems" with pit 803, and haven't.. You haven't changed, and you are still as full of bullsh** as you were 6 months ago when you were telling everyone that "the gps is perfect, but Google maps is buggy".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:
Try to do it right before trying anything else? That's your personal opinion! If he flashes JS5 with XEN CSC he'll end up with Dutch carrier settings and Dutch apps which really aren't much use to a UK user, especially one new to flashing and who may not understand why he's now got a phone that looks like it should be in the Netherlands! The package I linked him to is a UK equivalent of the XEN JS5 and therefore is much more use to him than the XEN version. It's a mix and match of stock JS5 PDA, stock JPY CSC and stock JP5 modem, all of which work very well together for UK users. /rant :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alien.46.uk:

@Auzy

There are some members here at XDA that like to stamp other members as stupid.If you have read the thread and my posts then you will see that DamianGto already lied saying that I wrote things that I didn't...in the same thread, even if all members can read all my posts in this thread.

This is how it is, when they can't give a real answer, then they will try to demolish everything you write in any possible way, that includes lying of course.

@alien.46.uk

You don't have to apologies, this is good and do happen from time to time.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Well both of you can go somewhere and make out. None of you seems to know much about what you are talking about.

Both of you say i lie.

You did link to a tread so i should learn what it means. Well you did forget to look in that tread. I was a part in it. Lol

I did recommend pit 512/513 just for i know they work. Read around here and you will see what pit use to cause trouble.

Its none of the once i recommended.

I don't care if you use pit 803 and it works for you.

I will never recommend to a new user things i know will bit him in the ass after some time.

I don't see that you did contribute anything to that thread beside writing that it was good that the debating guys were providing good informations...yet, I don't recall you learning anything from that thread that you say that you were part of.

Yes, you did post there, but nothing else. Must I to LOL now or not to LOL?

Please try not to use the big words like know, please try to write that you think because you are only providing your opinions which are not backed up by facts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Well you don't understand. I was in that tread but i did not need to write things that other already dude write. You don't know what was behind that tread. I did have a discussion on pit files else were with people in that tread. So lol lol lol.

No its common knowledge that pit 803 cause more trouble then the other pit files.

You can try to ignore that fact uf you want but is easy to search around here and you find it. Last time i did read about it was about 10 minutes ago.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
nah...JPY flies. Did you do a factory reset after flashing? ALWAYS do that. If still problems suggest you reflash then factory reset
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
This is a claim.

I don't need to prove anything to you.

If you are to lazy to search around and read here for it then its up to you.

You two are the same. You demand other to prove things but you never do that yourself.

You did link to a tread but you did not know the background of it and you did not notice i was a part of it. That's must hurt you alot. And now you try to get away from it. I think that's funny...

**DamianGTO Ultimate kernel. 350MB Ram. 600HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
That's a claim from you. You dont have that fact.

@alien.46.uk. If you're still reading the thread (it seems to have turned into a battleground!), the JP5 modem will work just fine for you on Orange. There's a thread somewhere (I can't find it right now) with loads of feedback for various modems and JP5 is rated one of the best for both performance and power consumption which is why I use it when I make packages. I hope you get your phone going okay mate.

BTW, I don't want to enter the PIT file argument (debate?), but just to let you know that my last re-partition was with 512 PIT and it works fine with this ROM if you decide to use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alien.46.uk:
Cheers matey. I didn't mean to cause a battleground, I just seem to have inadvertently caused two people to boil over at each other. Oh well. That's the way of a forum these days.

And cheers for the simples. If you've used this with 512 pit, that's enough for me to try it. I'll flash tonight if I have time and will let you know the result, thanks bdl1969.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
That was not a debate, informations did not pass both ways.

It was fun, I was smiling the whole time while writing. Those that did read all the posts do understand what has been written and why.

Good luck flashing your firmware, bye bye..:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alien.46.uk:
BDL1969 ... Your file doesn't seem to be in individual files for use with Odin? All the .tar.md5 files for PDA, MODEM, CSC etc ... ?

How's yours installed or can you provide it like this to use Odin?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:
All you have to do is select the single .tar file in the PDA field in Odin 1.7, you do not need to select anything in the other fields. The majority of ROMs are just a single file that you flash as PDA and Odin works out what to put where. I suggest you do the first flash without selecting any PIT file and do not check re-partition. Based on the results of the flash it will be possible to determine whether you need to do a repartition or not.

The only thing that concerns me with your phone is that not knowing what you had flashed previously and what repartitions you may have already done it's possible that you may need the dbdata.rfs file in the package as well if your existing dbdata partition isn't good. The only way to find this out is to flash the ROM and see if the phone starts up. If it hangs at the recovery screen when it should be installing the CSC and moans about not being able to mount something (I can't remember the exact error message) then we'll know that you need dbdata.rfs in the package. If this happens, PM me and I'll make a new JS5/JPY/JP5 package for you with dbdata.rfs included.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .Slane.:
The error is "E:Can't/b mount /devlock/stl10" if you don't have a ROM with dbdata.rfs after a repartion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bdl1969:

One more person did come in and write but he had no clue what i know. He did link to an other tread to show me facts. He just did not read it. I was part of that tread.
