[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_unruled:
hey, had a search but couldnt figure it out.

I had lots of lag issues with my galaxy s, until I got 2.2.1 (JS3) via kies.

Just now Kies offered me a JS5. does anyone know what the changelog is, or if the experiences are good with it? or should I just wait for the gingerbread for the SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbal:
Hello,

As far as i know there's no changelog available...

The main difference is that this release comes with a new kernel.

Battery life seems to be better with JS5 when the phone is in idle (can keep the battery up for 3 or 4 days with light use).

Hey guys, I downloaded some apk's and transferred them to my sd/NC.

I went into file manager located the apks and click to install and I get the following error "installation of download apks is not supported"
[Nook Color General] junkrobot:
This may have something to do with permissions, but you also may want to give ADB a shot. I know it's a bit of a pain to set up, but someone in the dev. forums posted some simpler drivers. I always install with ADB and it works like a charm.
[Nook Color General] Tenburn:
Check to make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked under Applications in Settings.
[Nook Color General] bartonkt:
Can also try installing with a different file manager, I use Astro and that works.
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
^^^^^^^^^

What he said.
[Nook Color General] b00sted:
i had the same issue with mine checked already, uncheck then re-check it fixed me up and for putting the apk's to nook may want to try dropbox makes things a hell of a lot simpler and here is a shameless plug to get me (and you some free space lol) use my referral link for extra 250mb of space http://db.tt/Zw55leX ;P
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Good point, you may need to uncheck and recheck it if it's automatically set to "checked" by default when flashing.

I keep a "new ROM setup" folder on my SD card containing DropBox, RootExplorer,Titanium Backup, adbWireless and Terminal Emulator APKs to make setting up a new system easy.
[Nook Color General] ricsam:
I download the apk, email it to myself, use the gmail app, open the file, tap install, done. Haven't had any issues with 24+ install. I got tired of ADB to push it.
[Nook Color General] azshorty2003:
can a file manager be use to install .apk's that are missing from the market place? currently im missing google maps. ive heard about market manager to trick the market and get the full listings, however should this not work, like some have stated, can i download the .apk from my computer and install it using a file manager?

also for the life of me i do not understand nor can i get adb to work. i know its probably real simple. but im done messing with it, so that option is out.
[Nook Color General] cdnvet:
Same Problem

I've got the same problem. "Install blocked. Installation of download apks not supported."

I've tried all the above suggestions: gmailed it, used various filemanagers, Dropboxed it and no success. I could not figure out how to change permissions....how does one doe that?

I haven't tried ADB - waiting to try everything else before I did that.:rolleyes:

Hello guys

It's possible to have a new theme of XWJV1 on 2.2.1 JPY ?

I really like the Samsung theme ;)

Thanks for your answers
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] colind:
see thats funny what theme stock froyo
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mac-wac:
Yeah, it is, and it's not so complicated to do. But I don't think anyone will do it as it is nothing revolutionary and if you want it so badly why don't flash JV1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Project1.exe:
I'm interested if there's a movement for this one too :) sure we can just flash JV1 but JV1 vs JS8 is worlds apart in terms of performance i'm sure you'll agree :)

i was thinking of creating one but need to study how. perhaps somebody has already started doing it.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Hello guys. As promised, im releasing a closed beta of Killswitch on XDA. Its a utility designed for tablet devices that will give you a more intuitive user experience by sending the device to sleep when certain sensor conditions have been met.

In effect it means that you can put your device into standby by shutting the case or turning the device over if youre already in a dark room.

For more details, check out the thread HERE.

The app thread is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988126

We accept anyone, but reserve the right to choose based on post count, join date and general XDA experience.

Posted in Galaxy Tab forums because this is where we come from :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Bump - we need more testers!
[Galaxy Tab General] krispyjim:
Count me in. This is a great initiative. I have a Galaxy Tab with a Zenus flip portfolio style case.

Please by definition of 'xda-pro' user I hope you are not measuring this based on the amount of spam they spread in these forums, as this could potentially exclude your best testers. It's constructive feedback your after, not persistent noise or complaining, right?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
No we are not... but we will be looking through peoples post history because of recent security issues with XDA betas. Its not enough, but we need testers.

In any case, we have tested it on the tab extensively in the last couple of weeks (we have 4 at the office), and there are almost no issues.
[Galaxy Tab General] JonSlater:
Hi. I'd also be happy to test something like this. I have many different cases: one of the ones that covers just the back and sides (so no trigger there), a cheap red leather book type, a white plastic one that forms a shell or a stand, the Samsung leather easel with D30 and the Otterbox Defender.
[Galaxy Tab General] n2s2k2india:
Thanks for the beta. Here's my feedback. Worked very well. Especially, my screen timeout being 10 minutes (because of e-reader) it seemed like a useful app. Also, it always gives the option of locking or not locking, which is useful. Now, the bad part. Noticed that my tab was unusually warm, battery was draining fast, checked consumption: 13%. Uninstalled. Hope you can fix this.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Hi everyone! A big thanks to all the beta testers! Just to let you know that the app will be avaliable in the android market from around 4PM GMT today.

n2s2k2india - regarding your power consumption issue, we have not experienced this on any of our devices. In fact, Killswitch does not even register on both my Xoom and Galaxy Tab. Looking at the spare parts battery use on both devices its 0.1 to 0.15 of total battery consumption...
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
by the way, the app is now on the market :)
[Galaxy Tab General] krispyjim:
Well done on getting this app released. Promise I'm not sour grapes for not being chosen as a beta tester! I've just installed from the market and unfortunately, it's not looking too good so far. So far, I have the following issue.

Both light and proximity sensor is flakey. Light sensor has worked once and not again. Can't get proximity to register. Accelerometer works though.

And just a question, is this app supposed to disable screen shutoff due to inactivity?

I'm using Roto JMIv2 if that helps.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Hello!

Im sorry youre having trouble with Killswich... lets see if we can do something about that!

Please update to the latest version if you havent already.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab does not have a proximity sensor (although the system reports it, this is just a glitch from the Galaxy S phones). This means you should be using the light sensor and the accelerometer. Your settings for the Tab should something be like this:

Enable Killswitch: tick

Admin Permissions: tick

Confirmation time: 10sec

Activation delay: 6sec

No-lock: Disable screen lock

Use proximity: no tick

Use light sensor: tick

Sensitivity: 10%

Use accelerometer: no tick

These are the settings Im using right now and they work perfectly.

The point of the app is also to avoid accidental sleep mode in a dark room through the popup dialog. Do not choose "Use accelerometer" unless you plan on using both light sensor and facedown at the same time. Instead, choose "Enable facedown mode only" if you see the popup dialog while using the tab in a dark room - this will disable the light sensor but enable facedown until you next swich on/ off.

Please dont hesitate to write again, or provide a logcat if the light sensor continues to malfunction.
[Galaxy Tab General] b3er:
I recommend to disable light sensor usage in killswitch, if your device provides proximity sensor, for better results.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Could we have a add supported version for free as well. If you need more testing i would be happy to test it on my wildfire
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Hello everyone! Could those using the app on their Tabs provide us some feedback regarding its compatibility with roms that are floating about?

Also, Im sorry but we will not be providing an ad-supported version. For one thing, there is nowhere to put the ads without wrecking the general aesthetic, and for another ad support is not economically viable. Android programmers have obscene salaries :)

Its only $1.99 - if you own an android device you can most certainly afford it.
[Galaxy Tab General] w102cdt:
Same issue

I just purchased and installed the app on my Sprint Tab with similar results. Accelerometer works great but the light sensor doesn't register. I have adjusted the sensitivity from 10% -> 0% -> 100% with no affect. I even thought that maybe I needed to have the brightness set to auto but that too did not work.

When I tried to move over into direct light (12 inches from a bulb) the sensor worked right away at 10%. As I walked back over to my desk in a dim corner, the device went to sleep again. Once in the dim corner, the sensor could not differentiate between dim and closed case. I'm using the official Samsung case FYI.

I don't know if this helps you any but thought I would post my experiences. For the price I love the app if nothing more than for the Accelerometer and No Lock features. Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Hi. Please read the help and tips section carefully. Killswitch is not a solution, its a hack. If you want it to work well, you have to understand how it works. Sprint tabs are exactly the same as any euro model, and we have had nothing but positive reviews from everyone with galaxy tabs in europe.

I made this app for myself. I have a gsm tab running overcome and everything works flawlessly.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
+1 on the lightsensor problem, working one out of ten times i close the lid....
[Galaxy Tab General] waz000000:
that's not true is it? i beta tested this app and i couldn't get the light sensor to work either with stock roms or modded one's and I wasn't the only one.

it was very hit and miss and per the feedback provided with logs!

Seems to me the light sensor method just isnt enough on the tab all credit for other devices, but the tab just doesn't work correctly with it.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Never mind, looks like my gt has problems with the light sensor...... I'm using richardtrips kernel with the sensor fix but......
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Im not sure where these problems youre having stem from. We have 3 tabs at the office, two stock and one overcome, and they all work flawlessly!

And of course those who beta tested but never sent us logcats, we would at least have tried to fix your problems...
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
If u were wondering why - im too young 4 a credit card. Would it be possable to have a 10 or 5 min free trial
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
All my sensor problems disappeared when i flashed Overcome 1.4.0. . .

The app works great for me now. . .

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Grrr, now my light sensor died again. . . Im starting to suspect this app. . .
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
What exactly do you mean? Could you send me a logcat?
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Of what activity?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
That depends on what exactly you mean by my sensor has died again... but I assume an unfiltered one right after startup with killswitch turned on.

I'm guessing your problems have to do with one of these 'sensor fixes people have mentioned!
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
I'm going to wipe caches, reflash rom and kernel, only restore some apps from titanium.... keep it like that for a while, and see if the sensor dies anyway. If not, install your app, and see what happens.

I just want to make sure your app is not involved.

I just hope that i get light sensor back after reflash....
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Changed my mind ... i was doing Titanium backup... when it was done, .suddenly i notice that the screen was brighter... checked sensor reading, and all is OK.

???

Installed killswitch, and everything looks OK....

I'm confused but hoping that everything stays OK

Ill report back later.,
[Galaxy Tab General] waz000000:
7th march 6.47 via pm:

bit of logcat info:

upon closing the case I get:

W/PowerManagerService( 2797): Timer 0x7->0x3|0x1

I/PowerManagerService( 2797): Ulight 7->3|0

but killswitch doesnt kick in.

------------------

Response:...None
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Im sorry you did not get a response then! Lets see if we cant get a proper logcat with more than two strings this time and try to fix it if it is indeed the same problem!
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
dont forget the logcats
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
To send a logcat, hat you need to do is:

1. Download aLogcat from the market

2. Run aLogcat

3. Reproduce your error in Killswitch

5. Go into aLogcat and pause

6. Use the share menu to send the resulting text either to fahrbotmobile@gmail.com or via PM here at XDA

Thanks!

Um well I do too but it goes to the msg screen with no lag for, must be just you.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tackleberry:
The lag is more of a transition from the home screen to the app. Lag is a bad term I think. The app moves smoothly. All the animations are just too slow and long by nature.

I would hazard a guess that fancy UI fanciness is how Microsoft distracts users while something loads up. I think it's effective for less tech-savvy people, but those who frequent these kinds of forums have no patience for UI fanciness when all we want is to "get to the freaking app already"

When I went to pick up my G2 at the TMO store, I briefly played with their new WinMo7 phone. You pegged my first thought - wow those animations are smooth but so freakin slow, I couldn't stand to use it.

I had a chance to briefly play with a Xoom and the 2 paneled Gmail app is spectacular! any chance the apk works on VegaN? or do I have to wait for a honeycomb port?

AFAIK it needs Honeycomb. It's built to use the 'Fragments' in use in HC.

I don't recall what the Xoom e-mail app looks like, but if it's anything like the Galaxy Tab e-mail app, then I know what you mean. Sweet!

Fortunately, one of the devs (thank you!) got the Galaxy Tab e-mail app to work with the G-Tab and that's what I've been using ever since. Probably the best e-mail app I've ever used on Android. Search for the thread in the Apps section.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Thanks for the tip. I have been looking for a better e mail app. K-9 is functional but I just don't like it. I will search it out. Now if the Adam calendar app was a little more stable the business side of my tab would be complete. Its beautiful and syncs perfectly just has weird crashes.

Edit: the galaxy mail app is amazing. I was able to rip out k-9 and the gmail app because this does hotmail and Gmail better than both in one app.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithos der Held:
When I try to view my phone's storage via USB on a computer (mac, win, and ubuntu 10.1) the internal storage mounts no problem but then as it mounts the SD Card, the phone freezes with the pop up still highlighted OK. I can access the internal data from the computer, but the phone itself is strangely completely frozen and requires a battery pull. Seems that if the prompt doesn't show up (seemingly at random) it works.

Things I tried:

* Unmounting the internal works but makes no difference

* Removing the USB Cable also does nothing.

* Power button will turn off the screen but prompts don't appear.

* ADB does work, but never tried to navigate to the sd card. Fearful it might corrupt.

* Pulling card does nothing. Card is (and was reformatted after issue began) FAT32

* Running CM7 with clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 stock kernels. (Did it when I installed invisiblek's .37 too)

* I've even RUU'd all the way back to S-ON stock froyo, unrevoked, then reinstalled cm7 to no difference.

Only thing I can think off is my sd card is taking a dive?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
