Just got my Galaxy S up and running on AT&T. It's the unbranded phone - not a captivate.
What is the best stable rom right now? I read about the official version codes, but I'm confused as to JR, JP, JM, etc.
At this point I just want something that's fast and works, so probably something 2.1 based. Later when I have more time I'll play with Froyo.
[Q] SGS South American Version will come whit DIGITAL TV reception

[Q] Laggy pinch-to-zoom
Hi everybody!
When i use the pinch-to-zoom function in my browser (the default browser on SGS), it's very slow. It is very laggy and not fast at all. Is there a fix for this or have I missed something?
please help!
Think you've answered your own question there.
If you want it on 2.1 install launcherpro or something.

[Q] Battery Drain on Mimocan Lag Fix
Hello all
I have noticed that my battry drain very fast after I applyed the Mimocan lag fix with a Sandisk 16 gb card Class 2 (all thanks to Mimocan for this lag fix. Apps run much smoother).
The main problem is when the phone goes in to standby. Last night it drained 22% even with all sync action diabled and all apps killed. Before the lag fix I did only see a 2-4% drop in battery over night.
To compare it drained more then a 15 min call I made before I went to sleep (35% vs 25% of total battery used. I pulled it out of the charger 5 min. before the call, so the data should be correct)
When the phone is activated, it seem like the battery drain is about normal.
I wonder if all/most ppl have this problem or is it just me?
My guess is that the SD card is activated all the time to acces apps data, and thus drain the battery.
Im on the m2 software, but I dont know if its the software or just a common issue when doing this lagfix?
Give a comment, Thx.
[Q] What drivers are needed for Odin?
Like other people, I'm having extreme difficulty connecting my SGS to PC with USB. I have tried just about everything mentioned in the forums, including:
-USB drivers from Kies and other sources (like the ATT Captivate drivers). Usually the Kies downloaded package installs all, but it cannot find the samsung modem driver when I plug in the phone. The Captivate drivers could not find "USB gadget". I tried installing both.
-Reformatting SD card (actually allows me to connect to 91 Panda PC Helper in -debug mode... but that's it)
-Erasing all references to Nokia and Motorola using Regedit. However I did not erase references to Samnsung or Windows Mobile)
-Praying to the creator
-Sacrifice of chicken
-Starting phone while connected to USB
-turning off antivirus.
I tried flashing phone using odin, in download mode, but it seemed that odin could not see my phone. Nothing happened.
Anyone have other ideas?

[Q] Is the latest fix completely safe for device longterm?
Some people are wary of the stress caused by the latest fix, I am very very new to smartphone's in general and wanted the honest opinions of those who truly know android/device hardware.
There is a lot of well intentioned misinformed posters in any forum. But these things are important to get correct, I would much rather wreck my external 32GB card than the actual phone internal memory.
[Q] Busybox not installing
Hey all,
I am having a problem with busybox. According to the 1.18 installer, I have 1.15.3 installed. But the installer won't let me upgrade because 'the nand is not unlocked'. When I try the older 1.17 version, I suddenly have no busybox installed and have the same message with the failed instalation. What can I do....

[Q] Wake the phone using Menu, Home or Back button?
Like the title says. Does anyone know if there's a way to wake the phone up using the Menu, Home or Back button like they've been able to do with the Desire and Nexus One?
Reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696907&goto=newpost
Samsung placed the power button at an awkward place. I assume it wouldn't be too hard to accomplish this. Probably using an app or coded into custom ROMs?
EDIT: Don't have the phone yet but so I assumed it couldn't do it like the Desire. it seems you can wake the phone with Home and Power. I think the thread above details how to enable/disable the other buttons in waking the phone as well. Looks like a simple editing of the keyboard layout and then pushing it back. Thanks.
[Q] Still lag in Contacts and Phone even with Quadrant score 2106
I am now having Quadrant score of 2106 after using RyanZAEXT2Lagfix Alpha1. It is a huge increase. However, i still notice the annoying lag in CLOSING of application such as CONTACTS and PHONE. Opening of these application is also not as seemless as in Desire HTC sense which I previously own.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

[Q] ODIN questions
Hi there,
Could anyone tell me what will happen if I did the following:
I checked around but I don't think these minor questions have been covered in the big FAQ
Is it necessary to apply repartitioning when updating to a new firmware?
Will you corrupt data if you upgrade just 'modem' or 'csc' on ODIN?
Will you retain all your data if you don't go for repartition when updating to new firmware?
I've successfully flashed 2 new firmwares. One of them was Russian (jm5) and I was told a bit after than I can just apply the jm1 csc. Anyway, I got over it and just reflashed back to JM2 as it was stable enough.
Thanks
[Q] Headphones and micro issue
Hi,
I am the happy owner of HiDefDrum (+micro) - by atomic floyd - headphones I bought originally for my iPhone. It worked great with the iPhone 3G 16Go (sound, microphone and button).
Now I bought a Samsung Galaxy S last week, and I have problems with my headphones.
If I plug the headphones completely, the sound is weird when I listen to music (as if I heard only an echo of the sound, I don't even hear the voice of the singer) unless... I press the headphones button ! Then the sound is normal.
I can listen to a normal sound when I do not plug the headphones completely (leaving the last part of the plug outside).
And in any case, the microphone does not work.
I thought it was a hardware problem, until I saw that we can access many configuration settings using the code *#*#197328640#*#*
I guess the problem can be solved by modifying some settings in this menu, but I have no idea which !
Can anyone help ?
[Q] Question before drastic measures :) experts please
Hi Guys
I have tried all sorts of lag fixes on this forum, but after installing a couple of apps (10 to 15 in my case). The telephone is sluggish and laggy.
Yesterday i got fed up oflag fixes and firmware flashing hoping that the next version will be the solution so i put it on one of the online selling websites
I really like the way the phone looks and its amazing hardware but i am really not sure whether to keep it or sell it
Everyone keeps saying that the froyo 2.2 update will solve all the problems, so would you guys recommend holding on to the phone till end of september till the froyo is released, or should i sell it now and minimize my losses and try some other mobile phone
Is it true that 2.2 is gonna do its magic regarding lag and the time it takes to load an app, or am I having high expectations
[Q] Couple of newbie questions :)
Greetings fellow Friends from Galaxy
I just moved myself from the HTC Magic section to this one.. It was quite a jump, the Galaxy S Camera and 4inch screen are AWESOME =)
I have a few noob questions that I don't want to spread through many posts, so i've chosen to get them all here, without polution this forum section. Also they might come in handy for future Galaxy S buyers!
My phone is: 2.1-update1 @ I9000XXJF5
Question #1
Well at first glance everyone's trying to fix the "LAG PROBLEM"... I haven't noticed any lag!! What are we talking about? If its a fix.. i want it too
Question #2
The phone came with Android 2.1, but at samsung-firmwares.com and at this dev section of the forum, i saw the JP3 Froyo release. How stable is this? Is it already a daily driver or a total beta? As an Android lover, i'd love to have the latest
Question #3
I've used the One Click rooting solution and then the ROM Manager Clockwork to boot into clockwork rom and make a full-system backup. In my HTC Magic i had the recovery ROM (Amon_RA) flashed into the internal phone memory, so even if i didn't have a ROM installed, i was ALWAYS able to boot into recovery. That was a safety plus. How can i flash the Clockwork Recovery directly to my phone, without the ROM Manager? I'd feel more secure if i could count on recovery even if, for example, i flashed a non-working system ROM.
Question #4
So what is YOUR favourite ROM? My stock has some unwanted apps, and even worse, it's Eclair. I'd like to switch soon, but i don't know these Galaxy S ROMs Tell me what's the best ROM for you!
Thanks guys, XDA is indeed the #1 place for mobile stuff
Cheers

I'm running TD 9.1, and prior was on 8.0. Tried both stock kernel, and a few other ones with no luck. At first when the sounds starts playing, the left speaker works fine, then with in a sec, it will fad to almost nothing. Is this something someone else has encountered? For all I know it has been like this since day one.. But I don't believe so.
Edit: I have also tried clean installs. i have not tried other roms yet.
Double edit: My xda search is not working, but google did for me. Found one other person having somewhat the same issue, but it was never answered. I hate to bump an old tread like that, after i have posted mine already.

I have the exact same issue. Tried million ROMs, sound patches and tricks but nothing change. The easiest way to see the difference between the two speakers is to run the Audio Test using HTC Function Test by dialing *#*#3424#*#*
Finally, I managed to get S-Off and now I'm going to get back to 100% stock flashing RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe, I'll do the test again and update the post.
EDIT: I'm full stock and it didn't fix it I guess I have to send it back...
BTW, what did you do? Did you fixed yours?
Running Sinless 5.1.5 now with elemental, everything works 100%. I guess for some reason my phone just didn't like TD, we all know they have a personality of there own..
Sorry for the long wait before response, I don't pay attention very well.

As the title said, youtube and other apps except walkman are not affected by sound settings. Is seriously awfull that i dont have the same beautifull bass and sound that I have on music app, mr. google doesen't help me in this point. About to mention that i don't try any mod because i can't access the recovery mod yet. The question is: exist a method to make sound settings work with any other apps except music player? I was downgraded to 4.4 to have this setting work but i was missing the lollipop and because i'm realy stubborn i still thing is a solution. Can you help me out with this, please?! I realy want to trow out my phone to the window for losing an entire day for unlocking the bt and rooting for nothing. (sorry for my english btw )
Well, after a lot of searching for solutions for this problem, i decide to GIVE UP. I will try to say a short story. I tryed to install this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/mod-z1-lollipop-viper4android-sound-t3092932 but i do a little mistake, I thing i install a cwm for 4.3 (the treath where i find it was realy old) and the phone was staying in bootloop. Because of my short knowledge, I was installing cm11 whit fastboot to recover my phone and after i install 4.3. Anyway, after all of this i give up installing a mod (since the mods will not solve the problem, they only make more better sound or settings) I tryed to make the sound more louder by modify mixer_paths.xml folder (the native sound of apps is preaty good after all but haves a realy low volume). After modifying the folder, guess what? I REMAINING WITH NO SOUND AT ALL! I don't understand if i do something wrong or not when i do this work, but since other people doesen't have a problem with this and is a setting for every 5.x phone mayby i did. Anyway, i solve this problem by flashing other firmware (i thing i was brick sound settings servicre that time), now I am on 4.4 and THAT'S IT. An entire week waste for nothing. Of corse after a little research guess the problem is from Google not from Sony. I must admit 5.1 have better sound than 4.4 (only set the virtual headphones sth-## can't remember the name, little highs presets and studio on virtual surround, or just activate clear audio+ whit the headphones is necesary, but if getting boored of kitkat, i will just update to lollipop and suffer the concecuences. Even so, you can close this thread after all, I'm seek of all this week lost for nothing.
Hello!
I just got a One Mini 2 - untouched - with original android.
Any suggestions where can i find a solution step by step to unlock the bootloader, s-off, which is the latest "upadated" rom for this phone ?
Everything is so old here, hard to find what i need.
Thanks folks!
For step by step method go to htcdev.com, select unlock bootloader, selext one mini 2 as your device and all steps to unlock bootloader are explained there.
Once you have successfully unlocked bootloader, you will need to flash custom recovery (TWRP) to flash any ROM
Currently the only working method for S-Off is Sunshine ($25).
Most updated stock ROM you can check on HTCdev as well for your device. As for custom CM Roms the most updated is CM13.
Hello there!
Thanks you very much your quick reply!
Except the s-off, if im staying on S-on - i can swap the recovery and the rom?
Silly question, but in the past 3 year i did nothing on HTC phones.
What about the CM13 - bugs?
Stable?

Yes you can swap recovery and roms, however only after unlocking the bootloader (some devices are unable to unlock thr bootloader, for some unknown reason despite following the proper procedure).
I came across only 4 bugs in cm 13.
1 At times the keyboard settings crashed at times it wouldnt.
2 The NFC came one for no reason cannot be disabled resulting in battery drain.
3 Lately the device would stay awake in battery settings despite screen off causing maassive battery loss, this was an android issue in Marshmallow without any known fix, I reverted back to stock for now waiting for CM14.
4 If camera settings are set to highest for picture quality some times the camera would crash and no solution except to restart the device, clear cache and data in apps settings.
There are some other reported bugs such as wifi security settings where some devices wouldnt connect to routers with WPA2, more issues can be found in the CM13 thread, you might or might not come across this issue, I didnt.
Also, loud speaker in music is slightly noisy and not crystal clear as with BoomSound and in calls ear piece sound is way too low and so is mic in recording, the member said he would fix audio problems in the next bug fix.

The loud speaker issue, ear piece and mic low sound issue and nfc issue were present in CM12.1 as well for me, might be fixed I'm unsure.
You will have to try I can't say if your bootloader will unlock or not.

Im successfully unlocked the boatloader, the lastest TWRP flashed, i did backup, and im looking which rom is the better.
Be honest, im just want a normal working rom, without big bugs.
I saw the NostromoPop has mic & sound issues.
The carbon has microSD issues.
I dont know, i cant decide...
Cheers mate your help!!!
