[Answer] Unusual Lag on Galaxy S Froyo

I would have flashed ~150 times - various Eclair and Froyo ROMs. I prefer to run a highly optimized Phone!
But just a week back I noticed something of an Unusual lag on Froyo. The lag was happening on every version of Froyo. The lag was so much, such that - there was almost one second delay on running everything!. After trying out various options for last 3-4 days, I concluded that my hardware was faulty! . Then accidentally I just booted the phone without re-inserting the SDCard after the Odin Flash. MY Phone was back - smooth as butter!!
What really happened was this:-
I had around 5000 photos, Icons etc.. in the SDCard. The media scanner thread, which runs on Eclair handled them pretty well. I never noticed a lag. But the media scanner on Froyo is buggy, it bogged down my entire phone during the scanning!!
So if you are on Froyo - you are better off - not keeping huge amount of media (Pics/Videos) inside the external SDCard. Or you can also opt for the media-scanner-disable utility too.
****
The question is why do you have 5000 photo on the sdcard?
Offcorse it will take time to scan through them.
And when you do a change it will scan the card again.

Reason for having photos on the external card - is becaue I would like to carry my Family photos everywhere
When the Eclair and even an iPhone 2G can handle them easily - I wonder what is wrong with Froyo!

What i have seen is that froyo do scan more. After every change you do it will scan.
the only solutions i can see is that you apply the scan fix so it wound scan.
Or get it one more sdcard you use and have the other on you.
Btw have you checked the card so its not start getting bad?

I've been looking all over for such a utility... where can i find it? the media scanner is as horrible as it is completely useless (my mp3 app has its own scanning function)
I've tried disabling the service using several startup managers, but they dont seem to work on Froyo very well....

AOSP roms, loosing pictures and videos?

Hello all,
i have some very strange and annoying problem. Whenever i use an AOSP based roms, im loosing my pictures taken after couple of resets. So far i have tried Ho!No, Froyomod, cronosginger, CM7 (nadlabak) and problem occurs every one of them.
Lets say i have 400 pics in my sdcard taken by stock firmware(still rooted, oc'ed and tweaked a bit) and i change to one of AOSP roms, some of my pics gets does not shows up in gallery, they also deleted from sdcard!. When i check the sd card there is like 240 pictures in it(managed to get some of them by recovery programs, so im quite sure they are deleted somehow). Problem tends to occur more frequently if phone reboots itself for whatever reason(low vsel for ex.). Today i took couple of random pictures, then lowered vsels a bit. after like 5 mins of gaming, phone hang up and rebooted, and my test pictures were gone..
-This also happens to videos
-Installing roms on fresly formatted sdcard does not help.
Any ideas on that?
Thanks.

Video lags with bult-in Camera-App

Hi all,
right from the start i noticed lags when recording videos with the LGOB - I´ve used 10a at first but then did a reflash with 10.c German. I use Go Launcher EX.
After flashing it seemed the video lags have dissapeared with the freshly installed phone, but now after a while and after i reinstalled all my apps it´s still as laggy as before, no matter if i record HD or TV format.
To me it seems that some background process may interfere with the camera recording... i´ve tried to use Tasskiller to kill all apps before running the video app but it doesn´t help much.
Is that something you just have to live with on the LGOB or is there any hint to correct this? The generel video quility is very ppor to, especially on quick pans lots of blacks are visible in the video image.
Thanks,
Kusie

same here with 10b firmware. today i wanted to record some long jumps and it skips 3 4 secconds. so i have just the landing or just half of the jumps! ( maybe the speed of the sdcard is the problem? I'll try with a class 6 sdcard to see if the problem is solved or not! this is a serious BUG for me!!!
i dont have this issue and i dont see this issue being brought up anywhere... hmm try installing Nova Rom?

I have read several similar complaints about video skipping and lagging on LGOB... right now i don´t want to go through the whole reinstalling process again after switching from 10.a to 10.c and reinstall all my apps and settings, i think that this basic functionality should be OK in the stock Rom, too.

Hi guys i use to have similar prob on v10b but since i updated my phone to v10e eu open every thing is fine and yes even scrolling is better. Video prob is soft prob not hardware or sdcard.

I have video lags on 10e as well...
now my lgob is in service
for dead pixels or subpixles. aprox 5 pixels! i hope that they will change the screen or change the device with another one. ( so 1 or 2 weeks of waiting!
Has this been fixed??! I'm really pissed off! I tried to record a Taekwondo tournament and I missed the best parts because it's skipping! [email protected]#! HELP!
i don't have any problem....i have v10b and stock card 2gb
I have v10e firmware and Class10 card and no video issues. One of these helped, I assume 10e is that good.
The problem is with SD Card.... It doesn't have enough speed to "write" to sd card your video recording... The cache buffer gets full and it needs to "empty - write" to your card before it can record again...
For most of video recordings with this resolution you need a class 6 sd card - minimum!
Best choice... class 10!
Expensive... but it solves this problems!
i have the same problem with both v10a and v10c. now i changed for a class 10 , 16gb sd card, but the bug still remain; and it can't be cuz the quality of sd card, cuz i tested it and i have 13mb/s in write...
Thats weird!! I've tested this with v10a... and v10f and it works in here!
And... the problem you complain its usually caused by card speed as i said...
Sorry to hear that the problem still remains...
I use a class 10 16gb and nova rom and still lags (not like before)

Format the card with 32kb allocation size and try to restart the phone every time you take a bunch of pictures... That seems to solve the prob for me... To make things simple, I just reboot the phone everyday...
Maybe i solved it. I have installed sd card booster from market and set a value of 2048 as adviced , and now seem to be no lag at all...

[Q] Video Recording Freezes

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem, my OB seems to freeze 9 out 10 times I try to record something, everything's stock and I haven't changed anything, using adw launcher and whenever I press the record button, it freezes and the timer stays at 0.00 and about a minute later it would skip to 1.00 and the video would be recorded with major stutters and off sync sounds, I'd have to perform a battery pull sometimes as it does not respond to anything at all. Using a class 10 Transcend 16 GB sd and I have formatted the card through the phone but the problem's still there. The problem comes and goes and it seems to work best when I allow it to focus before recording but this does not work most of the time.
Edit: Only happens in 720p mode... Other than that, everything's fine...
Same thing also hapening on my device
Might be related to your actual SD card. Any chance you can get a spare card for a couple of days (even if it is a lower-class one) and try out the recording function? this way you could safely say if it is the card or the phone causing the issue (process of elimination)
Im having this problem too, and i use class 10 card

Try to upgrade the V10X version.
Figured something out, formatted my sd with SD formatter and recorded 3 720p 5 minute videos, smooth without stuttering... And the issue seems to be gone for now... Hope it stays this way... Also, back up any stuff in the card and once it's done formatting, take a pic to let android create the necessary files and copy everything apart from the files created... You can keep your apps and files this way... If you need to have pics in your phone, just put them anywhere but the DCIM folder... I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem at all but that's what I did... Hope this helps
XDA doesn't let me post outside links lol... New user here...
Just search for SD Formatter 3.0 from sdcard.org...

Bad music clarity

Hey guys, before I attempt to single out what may be causing this problem I was wondering if this is a known problem with the SGS.
I never listened to music on the stock rom until I rooted it with the CF-root kernel so I can't compare it to it at the moment. If I cant sort it out before then I may attempt flashing a stock rom to compare. I am currently on slim ics 3.7 and am still getting the same problem.
Basically the playback sounds like the levels are all over the place. There is a lot of phasing going on with the sound and it just sounds awful. I was wondering if it could possibly be a problem with reading the music from the external SD card because if I go through the file browser and play it there it doesn't sound as bad. Also when I was on the CF-Rooted kernel with stock rom I noticed that if I moved a song to the internal sd card the problem wasn't there or at least wasn't as noticeable.
I am going to attempt to move all the music to the internal card to see if that helps, but until I get the chance I was wondering if you guys have encountered this problem before.
Thanks.
