[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cba1986:
Touch responsiveness? :confused:

I think that the responsiveness of the screens doesn´t have anything to do with the FW version.

At first use. After one day the performance in equal to froyo in that aspect. At first use eclairwas awesome but after installing 20 apps....

Instead some people with the latest JS8 or even JS3 don't even think of using any lagfix even with more than 100 apps.

I admit that the shutdown animation from JM9 is far more smooth.

Finnaly don't forget that JM9 was the latest eclair ROM. And Sammy is still updating Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Froyo faster than Eclair then 2.21 faster still and JS8 seems faster .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adz86:
froyo 2.2 was a terrible upgrade from speed point of view..... try in application list to pinch out(to get a full view of the tabs) and scroll between tabs! it just lags as hell.. 2.2.1 i way better...but yes jm9 lagfixed was lovely!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsonxray:
I can confirm if u were talking about smoothiness a lagfixed eclair is alot better than froyo even its 2.2.1, you can see the major difference if you are using launcherpro..and eclair did perform alot better than froyo in terms of battery life..but of course froyo's browser performance is promising due to the flash player and its compatibility for latest apps and games..I came form JM9 and using JS8 now..performance aint convincing me to continue to use froyo lol..was thinking to revert back to eclair..but actually what bothers me the most is the battery life.froyo drains the battery even its in idle..i will stick with JS8 for the night..if the battery still drops like 4-5% for 8hours..Im going back to JM9 =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
About touch response, i am on about how long it takes the phone to scroll after you touch the screen.

On froyo it seems delayed and often laggy, you will try scroll something and only untill about half way through the movement will the phone react and scroll.

On eclair it was much better

On iphone it is instant

On a side note, the latest CM7 has improved on this, the notification bar and most menu's are very smooth. although as of now, poor browser performance and battery drain make it useless for daily use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nash123:
Indeed. The latest Eclairbuilds (JM8/JM9) were smooth as butter in combination with Voodoo. Browserperformance isn't reached by Froyo or GB since. And yes my impression is the same regarding the touchresponsiveness. But somewhere here I read how to adjust this in Froyo. Some weeks ago there was a thread.

Edit: If Eclair would support Flash I'd still use it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsonxray:
are you talking about FuguTweaks or Damian's kernel's Touchscreen sensitivity?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nash123:
I guess Damian's kernel's Touchscreen sensitivity.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cba1986:
Browser perfomance is due to flash.

I really don't notice ant diff in touch response. Maybe it's just me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsonxray:
lol guys..lets come to an conclusion..the only highlight of froyo is just the browser that supports flash..nothing else.lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrdLock:
I just went through to setup my GV account on the phone, and I'm running into a problem. First, it says it doesn't recognize the phone number I'm using, even though it's the same number as I was previously using with my last phone. Then it goes to send a text message to the phone to verify the new number, but it says "Your phone number could not be verified, please try again."

I'm wondering if my device isn't activated correctly. I had some issues initially, because they sent me a SIM card that was linked to the wrong phone number, and I had to spend a while on the phone with customer service, then took it in to a VZW store, where a girl played with it for 30 minutes, not seeming to know what she was doing. She claims she got the SIM card switched over to MY phone number, and the 4G data does work... but maybe it's still linked to the incorrect number, and that's causing GV to not be able to verify the phone #?

That's my guess at least. So anyone let me know if you've had the same issue, so I know if it's a problem with GV, or with this SIM deal.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WINGZERO619:
Have you verified if you got the correct number? You'll have to check to make sure your SIM card is provisioned with your number. Might want to ask customer service or walk into a store for them to make sure all is well. Once you get it up and running, GV will work fine. Been using it without any problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chino0131:
No issues here. Set up went as it has on all of my android phones.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrdLock:
Damn, guess I'll have to bring it back in for them to look at tomorrow. :(

In the About Phone, it does show my number... but something's gotta still be messed up with it if GV can't recognize the number.

Just wondering but have you uninstalled and reinstalled google voice? When I set mine up it did say something about voicemail not being able to be set up on this phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WINGZERO619:
When you're on google.com/voice, did you already setup your phone number there? Or did you just download the google voice app?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrdLock:
Just tried... same problem though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WINGZERO619:
The voice mail setup isn't a problem. You can set that up on your google voice account online. Just go to the settings and it will ask you if you want to enable google voice mail to your associated number.

[Epic 4G General] sirj00:
Superb rom, working flawless. Absolutely perfect but is this normal.

Running Pandora on 3g is only good for 4hrs of battery life. Is this normal?

On wifi 10+ hrs streaming music. Is there a work around for the life on 3g?
[Epic 4G General] antmon:
i just installed the syndicate 1.01 rom last week and depending on what i'm doing i have easily more than doubled my battery life....as an example, i can watch a 2hr movie with the screen set to auto brightness and i am still about 70% battery life....on the stock froyo rom my batt was around 40%...no joke.

that being said, pandora is a huge battery hog, especially if you are in a not so great 3g area....

maybe you went through the usual battery 'fixes', but this is what i did after installed the rom....

1- reboot clockwork and wipe the battery stats...

2- got this info on this site from a post several mos ago to calibrate the batt...

- Phone is on. Charge untill told to unplug charger.

- Unplug charger and turn off phone.

- Plug in charger and charge until phone beeps (about 1-5 minutes)

- Unplug charger and turn on phone

- Charge to 100% again (1-5 minutes)

- Unplug charger and reboot.

3- get the free version of JuiceDefender and leave at default settings

4- always always always stop that pesky 'drm' service from running

5- not sure if still needed with this rom intalled, but do the airplane mode on/off switch after a reboot

i hope this helps.
[Epic 4G General] airian9:
I get great battery life on ACS....if I'm not streaming music over 3g, no matter which app I use (Pandora, Sirius/XM, DI, Xiia). If I stream over Wifi, my battery life is fine. This has been the case no matter which ROM I'm using. It's probably because I stream music at work where I have a weak 3g signal. Does anybody get decent battery life while streaming over 3g?

downloaded the pro version. There seems to be a haze around the weather icon. Tried multiple weather skins and still notice it. Running galaxy s captivate. Is this just a quality issue, no problems with beautiful widgets
[Android Apps and Games] CrushD:
It sounds to me that whatever launcher you're using, it's on a "trade image quality for speed" setting. On most launchers, there's an option for that, if you turn it on, animations and such are smoother, use less RAM, but lower image quality which is most noticeable in ruined translucency. For example in ADW, this is General Behavior > System Preferences > Scrolling Cache. Each Launcher that gives control of it has it set up a bit differently, make the choice for better image quality and this "haze" should go away.
[Android Apps and Games] xtracrispy69:
using launcher pro plus...didn't see this option. makes sense though. Anyone with launcher pro know how to fix this?

So, I'll still be around, need to download the new GSB tonite and install, she's not sure if she's going to activate the phone or just use it as a calender / wifi toy.

I seriously can't thank/donate enough to the Devs (Tazz and Shed especially) for keeping this thing as fast as possible. It sure has been (scratch that) IS a great little phone.

[General Questions and Answers] epolaris:
Good Day Folks.

I'm a Noob in need of help and i'm hoping the more experienced among us might be able to assist. I have an issue with disappearing phone storage. Over the course of a week I realized that I was losing about 1MB a day. My phone would basically be dormant and I would still see my storage space dropping by this amount everyday.

Cache cleaning didn't work. Later I realized that Android creates a bunch of log files in Data/System/Dropbox that was responsible for the disappearing phone storage trick I've been seeing for a while now.

I know now that Google has incorporated into Android as of the 2.2 iteration, a DropBox Manager that's responsible for logging all of the events that take place during the course of a running Android session. Everything from what took place at boot to force close details.

I understand that this is used for debugging purposes but I'm no developer :rolleyes:. So my question is.... Can this DropBox Manager be disabled....somehow.

I really don't need all these files (and its A LOT OF THEM) being created as they serve no practical purpose for me. Not sure if anyone else might have noticed this but I'm hoping to receive some help. Even if it means pointing me in the right direction so I can work on it myself.

I really don't have a clue on how to start. Any help will be appreciated....Seriously...

Currently using G1 with CM6 Magpie running on EZTERRY's 2.6.34.7 kernel.

Its perfect except for this annoying problem.......
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Hm what happens if you rename the directory. It might throw some errors in the logger, but probably won't create anymore files.

I just deleted the content of my dropbox folder, the DropboxManagerService was throwing some errors that he could not open files, but the phone was fine, no FCs or anything.
[General Questions and Answers] epolaris:
Renaming the directory just results in a random reboot. My guess is that when Android tries to create a new log, its unable to find the directory and then it just freezes and after a while it reboots. Once restarted it just reappears... I've tried that too.

And its true.. Its ok to delete the files. Its what I do currently. All of those files in Data/System/Dropbox as well as the ones located in Data/Tombstones are ok to delete. As I said, its just used for debugging purposes. Whats really annoying though is that, no matter how many times you delete anything, they just get repopulated just as fast as they're deleted. I'm ok with micro-managing my memory and phone storage (its a G1 after all) but this is ridiculous. It just creates too many of these log files too quickly.

If there was a way to turn the DropBoxManager service off then that would be the end of it all.

What's unusual about it too is that in my particular case, the contents of these text files just have two things listed in them. Pertaining to my online accounts associated with the phone: My Google account and My Whatsapp account...

It just repeats the same thing over and over again. I'm starting to think that the event data might actually be synchronization data or at least synchronization attempts made at regular intervals. But ultimately i'm guessing....

I really don't have a clue... Have you ever heard of anything like this on XDA......possible resolutions of this issue?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Not yet :-).

What about replacing the folder by a symlink to /dev/null ?

You could also try to change permission on the folder.
[General Questions and Answers] epolaris:
Ok... I'm a real Noob but I'll take a shot.. When you say symlink what do you mean.

I'm not really familiar with Android at that level yet its really just flashing and such.

But I know a symlink is really just a reference to a location that the OS would interpret and follow (like a pointer i think). So, is it that you're suggesting some sort of redirection where the Data/System/Dropbox directory is pointed to another arbitrary location. Kind of like a creating a dead link that Android is unable to follow up on. Or maybe, redirecting the folder to an entirely new location that Android would then follow. I'm not sure... How do you perform a symlink in Android... I'm willing to try.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
You can do it with a console on the phone it self or using adb shell. You need root of course.

You could make a link to another location where you have more space?

Or you change to permissions of that directory to write only.

Or you can mount a different file system to that directory that is read only.

On how to do that just google a bit for linux tutorials on that topic.

I have just googled a bit and it seems you can't symlink directories to /dev/null.

If all that doesnt help post again, there might be an option to make an app delete the files automaticly, first time they get created.

If that would be an option too let me know, im in the mood to program something intresting :p.
[General Questions and Answers] epolaris:
Disabling Android 2.2 DropboxManager [RESOLVED]

I took your advice and did the research you suggested and it worked.

The first thing I tried was changing the permissions on the "Data/System/Dropbox" directory and it worked. But I didn't use CHMOD and console command line to do it.

I have a program called Root Explorer that allows me to permanently change the permissions on any file or folder I select. I set all of the offending folders to read only and the log files stopped being written to those folders.

These are the directories I set to read only:

1. "Data/System/Dropbox"

2. "Data/System/UsageStats"

3. "Data/Tombstones"

Since changing the permissions on these folders my phone storage has stopped dwindling out of control. No additional programming necessary :cool:

Disabling the DropBoxMangerService itself is not necessary which is good.

I'm going to take your advice and read up some more on Linux commands (specifically Ubuntu as its what I currently use).

You have been very helpful, thanks for the advice. If you have any ideas about Froyo ROMS (Maybe even Gingerbread :eek:) I should try let me know.

Thanks again....

So what do you know about /data/system/dropbox? I just read that htc uses the dir to store phone events which is then sent to the htc cloud of spying-on-your-ass. But since non-htc phones have this dir, is htc merely misusing the directory and it has other legit uses, or is this a directory we should try to keep cleaned out?

So I clear that folder and seems to stop rebooting for a lil while.

Not sure what the deal is here however, been trying to find out. HOWEVER it only seems to reboot once its connected to the internet, so I am wondering if this is where it tries to upload and so. Not really sure. That and its hard to tell in logcat whats going on before it reboots.
