[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Caz2k11:
Well so far i have found this too be quick.

Loading of market is a lot faster and apps the same.so far the only very noticable issue i have found is the battery drain.

just with general use before i could use my phone for 2-3 days but now im losing up too 80% in just a day with general use.which is like texting calling folk and browsing web and market.

im not sure if im missing something but from my finds it def just the battery drain thats the problem,i dont have hundreds of apps running all tht time .well no more then i did before i upgraded.I am now having too keep a close eye on battery ready too recharge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] samvdias:
Flashed as follows:

Odin 3, V1.3

Pit 803

Repartition selected

All three files

Cache wipe, reset, reboot etc;

Then a further hard reset

Phone works fine, apps, Market and Navigon works quite fast. Battery drain on par with JS5. Most importantly the phone is recognized by Kies 2 and says that I have the latest firmware. This means that when Gingerbread is released for the Nordic countries, I can use Kies to upgrade.

CF-root js7

CF-Root for JS7 is now available, this one fixes my problem with mounting the internal SD card as readonly when connecting it to USB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lvvine:
Kindly some one post the single file download link JS7. Post the Kies downloaded file only the PDA file
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JoroIvanov:
I flashed my phone with JS7 and so far I haven't seen any differences with JPY beside that JS7 might be a bit slower than JPY.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SaneinOne:
Light sensor doesn't seem to be working as the brightness isn't adjusting to differently lit environments. I'm thinking this is contributing to the battery drain that I'm experiencing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] realityiswhere:
Can someone check for the presence of the 850 band?

Battery Problem

I am really having battery problems with this ROM.

With JS5 my phone discharge over the night was 2% (maybe 3%) but now it is about 10%.

Sometimes the phone is showing lower battery percentage than it actually is:

Once it showed nothing on battery, not even 0% but it was working

Then it showd 10 %, but when i turned off the phone it showed 40%

What should I do. I didn't have problem with other ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] markdj57:
Light sensor is working for me fine. check that you have it set for auto brightness.

Regarding battery drain, I have found, over extensive testing, that the battery drain is just the same for me as previous firmwares - I get 2% an hour drain with the wifi on. Others have reported a much better performance so I think that it all depends on what apps you have installed. So far, I have not found the cause of my battery drain, if there is a rogue app, though I think that 2% an hour gives 50hrs standby so that doesn't seem too bad. The way I use the phone, I get about 10-12 hrs use with 1/2hr gaming, 3hrs music with bluetooth headphones, 2hrs browsing all very approximate.

Not to worry, there's a new firmware in town and it has a new modem so maybe standby will be better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oci.05:
WOW...

Man after flashing to this ROM, is a lil faster i give u that but my Battery drain soooo much even in stand by mode.... like a baby sucking their mom's tits for the first time...:D i hope they fix this problems...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SGS_elko:
I flashed this rom over JPY. I didn't notice any battery drain. I did a factory reset before and after flashing, but the phone is still lagy. For me was jpy faster. Did i anything wrong during the flash process?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AspenTree:
What does DCSImpl, DCSUtility, and DCSWeather.apk do? I saw on another thread that these can be removed but I want to know what they do first and what apps they effect before I remove then from my rom.

i got the same problem... but dunno why... at the start i never had this problem and suddenly it happened ^^

but its not realy a big problem... if you choose a file and odin braks down and you start it again, the file is still selectet... and you can flash your g3 without any problem... but never flash the bootloader ;D
[Galaxy 3 General] hertleinj:
I tried it out but it doesn't work for me ( hangs up at start and can't find the files)

I will try it on my sisters PC I hope it will work there

but thanks for your help
[Galaxy 3 General] Kaleptik:
You could just flash them individually as One Package.

I know that it's not really solution but I had the same problem and tried odin on my second computer-notebook (with windows 7 too) and it worked. If you can try another computer.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
I was wondering if anyone has tried attaching (tethering?) multiple BT devices to the Xoom at the same time. For example, having a keyboard connected while tethered to a phone. Although I know that this is not an iPhone forum I was wondering if I could connect the Xoom to the iPhone via BT and still use a hands-free set (e.g. while driving I want to use the Xoom as navigator and have traffic shown).

Thanks guys!
[Xoom Accessories] huelsebu:
Multiple bluetooth devices connected simultaneously is possible. I was on about an hour long train the other day, and the whole time, I had my Xoom (not activated, no data) bluetooth tethered to my Droid while also connected to my bluetooth headphones to listen to music. Worked great!
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
Thanks, I'll try it on my way home tonight! Let's hope that Steve Jobs allows the iPhone to share the BT connection :D

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/reviews/2011/03/ars-reviews-the-motorola-xoom.ars

Just read through the whole thing. Exhaustive review. 10 pages in all. Lots of information, esp. for someone like me who is on the fence about the device.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Just don't read the braindead comments...
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
Thanks for this. I have been awaiting their review on the Xoom since they announced they were going to be doing an exhaustive one.

Only about halfway through, but I noticed something interesting. When discussing the browser and how most sites are still displaying the mobile version, he seemed to not have done any further searching as if he had, they probably would have found the "about:debug" fix. While I've heard that it isn't a persistent change, it still works out when in a pinch. Just thought it was odd they weren't aware/didn't do further searching on the issue.
[Xoom General] mrjoshzombie:
Hm. So far this seems to be one of the better reviews out there (outside of the 10 pages of clicking...). Thanks for this.
[Xoom General] tlogank:
Very good review. Ars Technica is one of the best Tech Blogs out there, and very rarely do their writers come across as fanboys of one OS or another. This review really confirmed to me that although the Xoom is a great start, it will likely be summer before I purchase an Android tablet to keep (mainly I'm waiting on flash, lower prices, microSD fixed, and more Honeycomb apps). I am very much in support of Honeycomb, but it's not time for me to buy yet.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
Just bought a Xoom on Friday. Love it.

I started reading this review and I can't help to notice they say 7 hours of mixed use. I have had email notifications pushing, wifi on the whole time, and got 20 hours @ 50% battery left. This is leaving it on over night and playing games and messing with it for at least 3-4 hours straight, as well as syncing/transferring files, playing games like Words with Friends, etc. So I am very skeptical about this 14 hours of standby time. I got the device to 25 hours and it was still well over 30-35%.
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
That's the issue with discussion on battery life. Unless it's explicitly mentioned what was done, when and for how long, it's hard to gauge exactly could be considered "intensive use" and look at battery life that way.
[Xoom General] mitch27:
Ars rocks. Hopefully google will speed things up a bit in regards to the current disadvantages of the Xoom. Thus far, most of them can be cleaned up with a couple of patches. Hopefully it happens soon.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
Before charging mine for the second time yesterday when it was around 18%, I had reached 26-27 hours of use. This is after I played, oh I don't know, an hour of Gun Bros, an hour (if not more) of Hex Defense (I think that's what it's called), push notifications on from, gmail, Twitter, fb, browsing, etc. I literally didn't put it down for at least 4 hours straight at one point. The screen was on auto/a third brightness. I even listened to an entire album, so around an hour of music playing.

I really don't see how anyone can have the audacity to say it's standby doesn't last for at least 24 hours.

Did someone get an LTE equipped version that we don't know about? Otherwise I just don't see how that's possible.
[Xoom General] mazz0310:
Same here, at 32% battery I was at 29 hrs of use. And this was after nonstop usuage. It was a new toy and I just played around on it for hours. Battery is definitely solid.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
So apparently Moto has stumbled across something here - an Android device that can be used AND last longer than 24 hours without a problem!

Now if only every device could follow in its footsteps... Sure, the battery is bigger than a phone, but so is the screen, not to mention all of the stuff crammed in it (like a barometer I have no idea how to use yet).
[Xoom General] mazz0310:
It's the first device running Honeycomb. Even with that said, I haven't had any crashes or freezes. It's running great for me.

While frustrating it's understandable. The iPad has a proprietary power adapter and doesn't charge through USB. Plus the Xoom charges pretty quick

Agreed, Google needs to build their own "iTunes"

I disagree, I love the built in e-mail client. Regardless their are plenty of other options for Android, and will hopefully be built new for Xoom/Honeycomb.

When the iPad came out, there were very few applications those first few weeks as well. It's a brand new OS.

There are other options that do allow this.

You can change the UA string, or download a new browser. Hopefully it will be fixed in the future though.

Haven't had any problems yet.
[Xoom General] Magnesus:
The browser issue is quite dissapoiting to me (as a web developer). I hoped for a full webkit browser with extensions. Maybe Firefox4 for Android will be better?
[Xoom General] mazz0310:
Extensions would be nice, and I can't believe Google still hasnt fixed typing lag in the browser yet (on some sites)
[Xoom General] harsaphes:
While the charger on the Ipad is "proprietary", its the same charger that is used on other devices of theirs. Also the Ipad will charge from USB, but very slowly.
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
I'm disappointed in their review. It's not very good, and seems in some spots like they're looking for something critical to talk about, like the default email client: yeah, it's not great, but it's been not-great for a while now, and isn't a Xoom-specific issue; they talk about future-proofing issues with browser rendering, correctly stress that it's not a big deal right now, but then make a big deal of it in the conclusion.

The review's written like the author doesn't really care about the device. Engadget's review seems a lot more balanced compared to this one.

(PS. Lots of reviews keep talking about the lack of tablet apps. Wasn't this _exactly_ the same issue when the iPad 1 came out?)
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Most of the sites are apple bias they just don't admit it
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
The iPad launched with ~2000 tablet apps. The Xoom launched with ~20
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
So what? The "non-tablet" apps still work great a la tapatalk
[Xoom General] kyralak:
I think you mean 2000 apps that were compatible with the iPad in full-screen. Google made the mistake of labeling the Tablet section in the Market as Tablet Apps. They have since corrected it to be Featured Tablet Apps. Most Android apps work fine on the Xoom, even if they don't support the new Honeycomb UI guidelines. Since Apple just threw their existing UI onto a larger device, there isn't really a comparison here.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Exactly this is an entirely new os, that is a larger ipod touch
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I would love to see a screenshot from the people claiming that their Xoom is lasting 29 hours on. Go into the settings and screenshot how long the display was ON. That is the time that they are talking about. Your 29 hours includes 23 hours of it just sitting there and doing nothing. Post a screenshot showing the time on of your display.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
I use mine all day now is my primary computer and still have juice left, don't know how to take screen shots
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
I can get anywhere from 8-12 hours of screen on time depending on how much wifi I am using in the background. The other day I had 8 hours of screen time plus 16+ hours of standby with 30% battery remaining before I charged it.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Yeah pretty much unplug in the morning beat the crap out of it all day and plug in before i go to bed at night
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt they were totally not even trying to give it a fair review. Most of the gripes were software related and can be corrected. How long it takes to get it done is the real issue here.

Even if it could, who would sit in front of their Xoom, let alone ANY DEVICE, for 20-30 hours? Besides a WoW player of course. I know when my battery was lasting 17+ hours @ 50%, the display shows 75% power consumption for what was depleted. Not sure if you can just do math and figure out time in hours but either way, I don't understand how people are whining about battery life. What the hell are y'all doing on it anyway to kill it so quickly?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] zolah:
The pull down bar is part of the TWframework-res.apk.

You need to extract the apk.

change the system_notification_bar.png (or whatever its called. I cant remember off hand) with the image you want. You will find the images in drawable hdpi folder.

Repack the TWframework-res.apk into a flashable zip and flash via CWM.

[Xoom General] JOHNGAETANO:
I picked up a Xoom yesterday from Best Buy. I figured I would try it for 14 days, or 45 days (silver rewards) without a verizon service. I can live with WIFI only for a trial period.

I have had an iPad since last April. It's been a good device, the OS is simple. Maybe too simple for me. I like the freedom, and the ability to tweak and hack a little.

I used a Galaxy Tab between November and January, but I found the OS to be laggy, and just not very polished. I was also disappointed in the lack of OS updates for the Tab. I was also surprised to hear how poorly Samsung supported their devices. Not much time passed from getting a Tab, to hearing about a Tab 2. The Tab also seemed to have a poor customer base.

Now onto the Xoom, having played with it for several hours yesterday I am general pleased, it's noticeably faster, the graphics render much quicker than the iPad or the Tab did, the form factor is nice, but I noticed immediately that there is a major issue with Lag on certain web sites. Scrolling can be jerky and laggy at times, and especially when you are trying to type a comment into a forum. It's painfully laggy. I guess my concern is if Motorola/Google are going to support this device with updates, or are we going to see a product like the Tab that basically gets kicked to the curb. I am all in if M/G support the product, as I can deal being an early adaptor. But without some support, it isn't much fun paying $800 for an unsupported product.

Regarding the lack of apps, I don't see that as being a big deal as I am sure that will change quickly, plus existing apps for Android will be updated for Honeycomb soon. Again, this is part of being an early adaptor.

I am just looking for some thoughts or suggestions on what others feel will be the support level of the Xoom via Motorola and Google.

Thanks in advance

JOHN
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
Its google experience with a new OS... all eyes on xoom/ any new honeycomb tablet.
[Xoom General] tomqman:
As it's a pure device (not skinned) updates will hopefully pop alone quickly also. I've read that dolphin HD browser (free from the market) is lag free
[Xoom General] mrjoshzombie:
I'm really, REALLY hoping support starts popping up quickly, especially from the app developer side of things.

A lot of the apps I use everyday on my Droid are not (yet) supported in Honeycomb. They either flat out don't work (constant force closures) or certain features are limited.
[Xoom General] JOHNGAETANO:
Can you clarify what you are saying?
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
I believe that with the xoom being a Google experience device, it isn't subject to the same update game most devices that are tied to a carrier and/or manufacturers are. Meaning more updates should be seen and quicker since they should in theory come from Google. The device isn't locked down. Hell it was rooted before it was officially launched, AND Motorola is fine with the unlocking/rooting. It's a much more open device than many others before it.
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
if it's anything like the Nexus One/S line, i hope the updates are directed by Google. That's is perhaps the best best solution for Android Tablets to stay competitive with the ipad. all last year all i heard was people complaining about the lack of updates for their android phones. you know, because these manufactures want to be unique.

If motorola wants users to experience their customized skins, they should just open put their app on the market and let the user decide to install them. i bet some users will. anyway, motorola needs to get away from designing customized android OS experience and perhaps think about making some Motorola Only customized apps.

GALAXY S

SEE VIDEO:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuR3QUh5F2o

When i make a call, the screen truns black. I can't hang up etc.

Also when someone's calling me i can't press any button for like 30 a 40 sec, then sometimes i can hang up.

Tried everything, Flashed 6 different firmware versions using ODIN, Even brought back to the store, They flashed it to, no effect.

BUT!! When i plug in my headphones the screen does not go black and don't freeze, It functions normally then. THAT is Strange!!??

Any body an idea??

Also another problem:

When the screen is locked, and i press the home button, it takes about 10-15 seconds to show the unlock screen. When i press the home button the screen just stays black for 10 seconds until i can unlock it with a swipe.
