[Q] SGS Shortcuts issue - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an inssue on my SGS (Froyo JPO/JP5 lagfixed).
Everytime I reboot, or I update something from the Market, some of the shortcuts on the "desktop" disappears: always the same icons !
Do you have any idea on how to solve this issue ? because it drives me crazy !
Just for your info: I had the same issue from the beginning, with Eclair not lagfixed (original).
Thanks for your feedback.

Noone have the same issue ?

I have issue with new Opera Mobile 10 beta shortcut on desktop....Strange, only with this.
Regards

About my problem I have the issue on Winamp,Firefox, Bump, Msn Talk, Foursquare, Bluetotth Gile, Waze, Google Earth, Dropbox...
It's a pity, also because every time I have to rebuild all the screens !

It can be related to the apps installed on the MicroSD ??????
So, it can be something related to the MicroSD chip ?

helloim & itweet sd issue

for some strange reason when i try to change my icon on either app it keeps saying sd card not mounted right or sd error but yet on hello aim it works. some people i know have to same issue can anyone help me thanks
I'm also having the same issue. If I remember correctly, it started happening around the time Cyanogen changed from normal gallery to HTC gallery (and camera) so its not a new issue. Just annoying. I'm stuck selecting random icons form PC to change them.
so it's the issue from the rom then?
anyone? know how to fix this issue?
Hmmm maybe somebody needs to email multiple facets and tell them to have there apps compatible to the HTC Camera/Gallery. Live Chat had this problem but with there recent update it got fixed.

[Q] Screen shaking

Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.
Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.
I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers
anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...
Similar topic in XDA
Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:

I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.

My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh
Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.
Cheers,
Fabio

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo
Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers
mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago
Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *
Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...
Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...
Hi everyone,
Is the same problem happening in the new 2.3.3 asia roms?
Do you have any experience?
Cheers.

Where can the new room be found? I'd like to give it a try, is the Overcome golden 2.3.3 Asia room?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I was referring to official asia roms.
They are available in samfirmware.com but I have not tried myself.

Anyone found a solution yet?

TweetDeck on Darky's ROM

Hello guys,
Just a quick question from me today, I like to use specific Twitter clients nowadays, and I love using TweetDeck on my Mac - however, on my Android [Galaxy S] phone that's currently on Darky's ROM - TweetDeck just doesn't work.
Every single time I open the application it seems to want me to relog back in to my TweetDeck account. I'm getting REALLY annoyed and as such I've swapped over to Seesmic, however, I want to know how to fix it, or if it's unfixable or if anybody's known about this issue or has it, and knows what causes it.
So if anybody has any answers for me it would be MUCH appreciated, thanks in advance.

[Q] Graphics Problems -AOSP Galaxian-Soup

Hi Guys,
I curently using the AOSP Galaxian soup ROM ([ROM][ICS][4.0.4][AOSP]Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][beta 1.7.3]) on my Galaxy Tab p7300.
I'm experiencing the following problems and wondering whether anyone can help me.
1. I play a lot of the Story games by Kairosoft. When I load any of the Kairosoft games, the text in the menus and top bar in the games are all in the wrong position. See attached screenshot. Is there any solution to this?
2. When i first loaded the ROM, it would reboot/hang quite a bit. The screen graphics would be fuzzy or jumbled which it would reboot or i would have to restart it. It doesnt seem to happen anymore. Is this due to this being a deodoxed ROM? Should i be concerned?
3. This is not a ROM issues or a problem per say. In the calendars app of ICS, i would like to sync more than the standard 30 days behind. In the options, there is an option for synching everything, this would not be an issue if it was for calendar, but it seems to apply to my email as well. This is huge as I am synching to my work exchange server. Is there any current workaround or do I have to live with it?
Thanks in advance to any help / advice given. I appreciate it.
AOKP Fixed the first and second problem.

Problem Chrome Browser in CM9 SGS i9000

Hi everyone!
I have a problem with Chrome Browser in my android, because it starts but say that I have not all I need to handle with its requierements.
I hace CM9 from 25 July 2012, and havenĀ“t done any change as it comes from cyanogenmod.
I have searched in this forum and in google, and people say that it works properly in CM9 in their sgs i9000. Also, I have seen that someone fixed it by changing the build.prop id. I've tried it, and the same problem occurs.
Has anyone any idea of what to do for making it works? I want to try this browser and get my own opinion about it, as I've heard that somo people say it is the best, and others not.
If anyone has fixed it already or have it working in their phone, please tell me what is their configuration to try it by my own.
Thanks in advance.
Google Chrome for Android takes a lot of space. On our phones with CM9 or other ICS Roms we have a issue with the partition size of where the apps are stored. If you have a lot of apps it could be that you don't have enough space in the datadata partition. You can try unistalling some apps or clearing the cache/data from some of you apps and see if this helps. You could also try one of the data partition fixes if you haven't already.
Having said that this could be unrelated to your issue but is possible. Usually if you have this apps start force closing or you get a message about partition being full.
It doesn't work
Thanks for the information, but unfortunately I have tried al you tell me and nothing happens. The same problem.
Maybe it is imposible to make chrome browser works in my sgs i9000 with cm9. What a pity! Anyone has other things to try?
