[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
Let's not forget about basic things, like wiping the phone?

I was actually looking for exactly the same things, and I was changing kernels, roms, themes, etc. etc. while I realised it's not just that.

Go one step further, and what I found is that under Zeam launcher everything seems snappier(the kleine crocodile), than before.

I also disposed all theme, and extra stuff, that made the rom "heavier".

I cooked my own ROM in doc's kitchen, and indeed used hardcore's kernel with ext4 lagfix.

Not only the phone is pretty close to the iphone responsiveness, but the battery life is also great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purgalm:
2200+ Quadrant scores?

I've got around 1100 on Darky's Rom 9.3 and the responsiveness is amazing!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark3n:
im using newest rom from doc's kitchen with supercurios kernel.

i used zeam launcher before which didn't feel snappy, i'm now using Launcher Pro which just feels alot snappier.

forget the scores, yours with just 1100 could be faster than one with 2200 in daily use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXNCHAMPXx:
A friend of me has a iphone4 and I also think that the iphone4 is just smoother than the galaxy s.

I'm on darky 9.3 with voodoo lagfix (which is included in the rom) but still I have laggs on screen. My sister just bought a htc incredible S and its also very smooth but again not as smooth as the iphone4. I just personaly think that apple has made there a good job...but there is alot what I don't like at the iphone4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivegottheskill:
I agree. I've tried many new custom roms and lagfixes, and although they help, they still don't seem to make the phone reliably and constantly smooth. I occasionally still have some UI lag or freezing. I praise 2.2.1 for making the phone feel as smooth with RFS as it does on EXT4 though, and now I usually don't bother "lagfixing" the phone

I use TouchWiz, so I think inherent bugs in the UI are at least partially to blame. I noticed using a 3rd party launcher generally felt a bit smoother than TW, even though I like the TW layout. I'm going to reformat the phone and load JS8 with Speedmod and am leaning towards using the latest GO Launcher as my default to see if there's any noticeable long term improvement in smoothness
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfangex5:
really everyone is going lag fix lag fix hardware way? seriously the TW launcher is the problem , its NATURALLY LAGGY , imo get Laucher pro you want silky smooth get launcher pro and set it as default home sure as hell looks better and is more fluid than any other loader out there , not one NOT ONE little hiccup ever :D just soo silky smooth , never even a slight tiny tiny not even micro second lag , app planet > launcher pro > facebook widget > messages widget > normal background not live > 3-5 pages = win
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXNCHAMPXx:
But I like the look of the twlauncher more. Somehow I just dislike the look of the launcher pro
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Try go launcher instead.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.2 * 600Hz * 346MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXNCHAMPXx:
Wow. Seems to be much smoother then the twlauncher. I'll try it a few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Yes it is.

I have tried them all but I always come back to go launcher.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.2 * 600Hz * 346MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXNCHAMPXx:
Well now after a day I have to say, this is the best launcher so far (go launcher). I haven't ever experienced such smoothness on my Galaxy S. So for everyone whos haveing trouble with lagg on screen, try the go launcher. It is even verx nice customisable ;)

[Xperia Arc General] mith500:
Comparison of Arc and Galaxy S Screen. Looks good

http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/03/16/xperia-arc-display-versus-samsung-galaxy-s/
[Xperia Arc General] Blomkungen:
Easy win for the arc imo
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
On first sight the Galaxy might win, it's a bit brighter, and colors pop off, but compared to the Arc, it's just so unrealistic! The Arc really has a reality display, not a fake-fancy one!
[Xperia Arc General] Makenboshi:
S-AMOLED has a better black level, but arc's LCD supported by bravia engine certainly has a better display imo
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minlee85:
Hello, it is happening on every rom I tried...whenever I launched google nav the system volume went up to the max. but other volume levels stays the same. I think the nav uses the media volume level not system volume. It is very wierd. Do you guys have the same issue or it is just me??? Anybody fixed the problem???

Thanks:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rrryan2:
Mine does that too and it annoys the *crap* out of me since I'm one of those weirdos who likes having sound on the keyboard. Haven't found a way to keep it from happening yet.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craze96:
So I am on CM 7 and I used the battery fix others are reporting single digit numbers on current widget while mine shows only two 4s in one page and others vary between 100-250 so then I head to spare parts and it shows that the culprit is Google services, Android system and Dialer... They are always the ones that is draining my battery but I dont know how to fix them help me :confused::confused::confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vispe85:
Have you been actually using the device a lot while the mA measures are taken? The fix effects only idle/standby consumption. Those spare parts battery stats you mentioned don't really tell that much, as the percentage there is always 100% divided amongst the processes working. Check your partial wake usage and other usage, if there is something that has been using a lot, I mean really a lot then it could be the reason. Get watchdog or similar to check if you've got apps going crazy, could be one reason.

Btw what version of the battery fix you are using, have you remembered to do the voice search, sound record etc. to activate the fix, if you are on a version that requires it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craze96:
No that is on idle. I am using the PNK ocasional build now its abt 1% per hour. Its good but it sacrifices performance now. Those 3 culprit are from partial wake usage. V7 so i need to use voice search in order to activate it?

Btw how many kernelals can we have at once?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercore:
You can only have one kernel.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
you must do voice search after making the first phone call every reboot.
[G Tablet Accessories] dsholler:
Anyone figured a way to use the gtab with a projector without the dock? trying to have as few gizmos as possible to take on the road with me.
[G Tablet Accessories] 999ping:
If you want HDMI output without the dock you would need a custom cable from the g-tablet's docking port to HDMI and as far as I know, no such cable exists at this time. You can search these forums for "HDMI cable" and find a couple of threads on the subject.

I understand the desire to travel light but the dock really isn't that big or heavy.
[G Tablet Accessories] anjenaire:
Well my dock isn't exactly light but it is required to provide power to the HDMi output. I did purchase a HDMI to DVI converter for my projector and it works like a champ projecting from the gtab to the projector. Now if my mouse would work I could (almost) ditch the laptop. I have also found that most of the PowerPoint viewers don't 100% convert my PowerPoint slide decks to view on the gtab. It is typically some pictures on the slides that don't convert. I have roughly 16 slides out of 125 slides that don't project properly (can't remember off hand which program does the best job, but that is my best effort). I haven't had time to convert all of those slides although I had to teach one of my training classes today so had to lug the laptop along. Ideally a mouse or wireless remote to advance the slides would create a smaller travel kit. Good luck with the presentation. The dock while heavy, weighs as much as my Dell power brick so that at least is a trade off.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
Hey guys...

this is a big question for me also...but I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to do video OUT of the USB port for powerpoint? Since most PPT is just static there shouldn't be a huge issue with BW (Even so, I've got a USB to VGA adapter for my laptop, so USB definently has the BW to pull it off. )

wonder if there's a simple USB to VGA adapter out there somewhere. I'll do some digging....

it's not that the docking station is heavy or anything, it's just bulky in a briefcase. I travel international all the time and want to leave as much crap at home.

Oh, and if anyone comes up with a good ppt editor / viewer lemme know.

BN
[G Tablet Accessories] xmr405o:
Funny you asked about a USB to VGA adapter. I'm not sure if its video out or in??? The description says you can use it for dual monitor expandability which leads me to believe its a video in cable. Anyways, someone posted a couple days ago at another forum that he found that adapter. Its expensive though. Here's the link he posted...

http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page...nic+gTablet&tabletcategory=Cables&skuno=90129
[G Tablet Accessories] dsholler:
That one is pricey

There are lots of those USB to VGA adapter gizmos.. but I have hesitated to buy one because I wasn't sure there was the right software available.. presumably you need at least a generic USB screen driver..

Anyone tried one of these with the gtab?

http://www.google.com/search?q=usb+...06&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=a40f3cd63ecc4954
[G Tablet Accessories] opnsrcaddict:
Your best bet would be to use a DisplayLink based adapter. These allow dvi or vga based displays to be connected via usb. They have also released linux drivers. It even seems as though they were able ouput video to such displays through an app called "Send to Framebuffer". I actually have a displaylink dock, so maybe I'll play around with it after class today. Check out the following link and scroll down to "External Displays".

[G Tablet Accessories] clintre:
I actually have some emails into Fommy and the mfg. of the device. Although on the Fommy site it list the G-Tablet and NI Adam, I have yet to find any information from the mfg that this device will work with Android.

It is a video out device.
[Captivate General] xxbrysonxx:
Hey all. I've run into an issue where my phone refuses to download Facebook from the market.

I'll click to download and it begins the download process but it terminates at approximately 45% every time. I don't receive any error prompts or anything, the download just stops and disappears from my notifications.

Any chance anyone could post the most recent version of Facebook for me and I coud see if sideloading it would alleviate this issue?
[Captivate General] kletiz:
Try installing sgs tools and then clear your market cache.
[Captivate General] xxbrysonxx:
awesome! that worked! thanks!
[Captivate General] nyydynasty:
in case anyone does need the latest facebook APK, here it is:

Facebook v1.5.2 is pretty buggy and does a lot of FCs on my captivate. I wouldn't recommend updating your FB app if you haven't already.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vazzellaki:
Hello everybody! I am new here, i just signed up yesterday and this website only lets me post in this general area. Here is the background: I have an ATT HTC PURE phone that I am not using. I want to try and install android on this phone but I do not know how and what to use. Can someone please guide me in regards to this issue? I want to be able to use the phone as an internet device for home use with my home wifi. Any or all help is appreciated! Thank you to everyone who helps!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Have a read here.

I do not think the system has been perfected so read the latest posts to see what bugs there are.

Also may be other ROMs available in the Android section.
[Thunderbolt General] 760hacker:
So as I await my call from BB for my pre-ordered T-bolt my mind was thinking, would it be possible to take the 4GLTE Sim card from my new T-bolt and throw it in my Xoom, see where i am going with this....so although i don't have service on my Xoom and only use wifi, theoretically this should work but i won't know until i try. I did find this bit of info in the T-Bolt Manual....

"The 4G SIM card provided to you by Verizon Wireless contains your phone number, service details, and phonebook/message memory. It enables you to make calls and access the Internet using a 4G LTE network. While you’re abroad, you could also connect to a CDMA network.

The Verizon Wireless 4G SIM card is compatible with any Verizon Wireless 4G certified device. You can move the 4G SIM card from one device to another and your wireless service will work seamlessly as long as you have a compatible device and service plan. To see which devices are compatible with the Verizon Wireless 4G SIM card, visit verizonwireless.com/certifieddevice."
[Thunderbolt General] brockwitting:
I was thinking the same thing exactly. Obviously we will have to wait until we get our Xooms upgraded, as there is no 4g hardware in there to currently take advantage of the sim card, but since right now LTE is only used for data, I don't see why this wouldn't work. Only time (and upgraded Xooms) will tell.
[Thunderbolt General] wes_s:
This would be fantastic.
[Thunderbolt General] Z51:
sounds like it would be possible.

try it :D
[Thunderbolt General] HonestEnd:
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work. Verizon needs the IMEI number to activate data on the device. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't activate IMEI's for the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Deleted member 2027727:
Not necessarily. When the SIM is loaded into the device the MEID is sent to the system and if the MEID isn't compatible with the plan, either it will make you change your plan (somehow) or it will just not work. I'm pretty sure T-Mobile and AT&T used methods like this to keep you from just taking your SIM from a feature phone with a $10 unlimited data plan to a smartphone, thus blocking your data till you switched to the smartphone data plan. Or avoid customers putting their SIM's in their tablets/mobile broadband devices (which require a mobile broadband plan) and expecting to still have unlimited data for $29.99 just for forfeiting their minutes. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] bogatyr:
My Thunderbolt 4G SIM with the hotspot feature and unlimited data works great in the 4G MiFi from Verizon. Just pulled it from the phone, plopped it in the MiFi and it worked.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
+1 I can confirm this works. I have the Samsung LTE Mifi and my Bolt and my SIM can walk from one to the other.
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
I don't remember where I read it (I think it was on these forums) but I believe some guy did what you guys are saying.

He said that it worked, but that he was slapped with a huge overage charge or something like that.

I wish I could remember the thread.
[Thunderbolt General] bogatyr:
Can't really have an overage when you have unlimited on the SIM unless they changed your account features. If they did that to me, I'd probably drop them. The Mifi is more reliable than my TB for hotspot, and I'm paying for it so which device I use shouldn't matter.
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
I think that was his exact reasoning. He had unlimited data on his phone sim, but it into the mifi (or something like that), ended up being charged as mifi device after so many GB's.

Let me see if I can remember some key words to search against in these forums.

EDIT: Ok found the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019186&highlight=lte+card
[Thunderbolt General] bogatyr:
That's because a rep looked at it and instead of listening to the guy thought it was a glitch and switched his plan out of the unlimited deal. He then put it back in his Thunderbolt and called Verizon and they fixed it - no overages and restored his grandfathered unlimited plan.

Verizon says in their ads that you can move your SIM among any Verizon 4G LTE certified device.

Also there is no difference in if you use the hotspot on your phone or the MiFi, you're not stealing anything if you have the hotspot plan on your phone. The MiFi doesn't offer anything more than you get on your TB using their hotspot app already. You're just using a better device until they fix the TB data connection problems.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
One word LINUX.

That is what android is. It will only do what you tell it to.

As others have said watch what you download. The only way to infect your phone is by your own mis-judgement. There are no auto installers, you have to approve everything you do.

That being said why would you need an anti-virus?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnjm9b:
I mostly agree with that...

However, with the recent issue with Google pulling several Malware apps from the market(most that were duplicates of legitimate apps)

I am a bit worried about where this is heading.

Although I suggest using Droidwall

With a white list to only allow specific apps to access internet.
