Samsung I7500 :: Queries On Updating To IK5 From II3
Jan 23, 2010
Well I bought my Galaxy here in India yesterday, and you all and this forum has been a major source of info to make up my mind.
Well I've bee browsing this forum trying to understand all that I need to know for the past two days before I could muster the courage to ask a couple of questions.
1) My Galaxy is on Firmware II3, is it worth upgrading to IK5 ?
2) When I upgrade, does everything, contact, apps etc, get wiped of from the device or do they remain as they are ?
3) Is there a way I can take a complete backup of my contacts, apps etc and restore them after a firmware update ?
My phone has not been rooted yet and I plan to use ODIN for updating the firmware.

Alright this may have been asked a few times, or maybe it could not of been asked. I just can't find the thread related to answering this question.
Okay so my question is, can I flash Galaxo 1.6.2 or GAOSP "without" ODIN flashing or updating my firmware to 1.6? and not then what consequences would occur if I don't flash firmware update before GALAXO 1.6.2 flash. My phone firmware version is I7500ZHJA1 and I believe that is the latest firmware for my region which is still Android 1.5.

The Samsung i7500 Galaxy is, except the support from Samsung itself, a great Android smartphone with a very good (the best?) price for value. It's with 11,9mm the second slimmest Android phone after Nexus One with 11,5mm (right?) and has unlike the HTC phones a flash light and build in storage of 8GB. On most sites the Galaxy is (one of) the cheapest Android phones, I wonder if it's because Samsung is cheaper or HTC/Motorola more expensive by itself?
I personally would compare the i7500 with the HTC Hero, although in my opinion the i7500 still has a much better price for value.
Is it even possible to define if and which Android phone is a low, middle, or high-end smartphone?
Sure, it also depends for what purposes you bought and use your phone, but I still wonder were the i7500 would be if 1=low and 10=high end Android phone, and if there even is a number 10? I also think that the D-Pad is a big plus and not a minus in comparison to the scroll ball from HTC.

Does GAOSP Froyo support live wallpapers for i7500? If yes, can you recommend some that seem to run fine without (major) slowdown? I would suspect that the CPU is too slow to run most live wallpapers, but there might be some neat ones that are good to go?

Sorry if this thread seems inconsequential but I have been rendering myselves sleepless nights over the past couple of days ( and nights ) due to my inability to choose between the above two said android phones. I like the i5700 for its zippy 800 MHz processor and that its got the 2.1 update. I like the i7500 for its 5 MP camera and flash + a larger screen to play with I would have gone in for the i7500 but have been hearing about Samsung deciding against not updating it to version 2.1 which can off course be done taking the un-official channel. Moreover the 528 Mhz processor is certainly lagging.
But still I see people in here Going after the i7500 .... Adding to it there is more threads and discussions going around on the i7500 as compared to the i5700. Am I missing something in the i7500 or is it just that i am a stupid newbie ... I have gone through many many pages of information on this thread before posting this query.

I've been noticing while looking at other i7500 reviews that my keyboard layout is completely different than all the other i7500, whether in landscape or portrait mode I don't have the caps lock key, instead i have a T9 and the printed orange colour keys is what I hate most
Pls look at this pix, and tell me what can be wrong with this keyboard.
In my settings these are the steps:
Settings>Locale & text >Samsung keyboard, that's all I have, no other Keyboard available, am I missing something or what?

Can anyone point me to a good example where a AsyncTask queries a local SQLite database and then updates the UI successfully. I have a database which I query using doInBackground... create a new custom SimpleCursorAdapter (overriding onViewBind), return the adapter (SimpleCursorAdapter), then in postExecute() create ListView adapter which is set to the the SimpleCursorAdapter, that was returned, then I set the listview adapter using SetAdapter(adapter);...
For some reason I throw an exception on fillWindow.java:200....

I start a long-running SQL SELECT query and, before it finishes, wish to make a short-running SQL SELECT query. Both queries are on the same tables. The whole database can be considered read-only. My initial tests show that the short-running query only actually starts when the long-running query has finished.

I was monitoring the traffic on Eclair 2.1 and noticed periodic DNS queries to "android.clients.google.com" after launching IM/Email/ Browser even though the phone was idle and I was not doing anything. why Android generates these periodic queries to "android.clients.google.com"? Is there a specific service generating these queries?

I have some queries:
1- I have Desire with Froyo. So, technically whenever I install an app, I should be given an option to install it on SD card. But so far, haven't seen it yet, consequently today I got a message that phone memory is running low. So, please help me out.
2- Secondly, last night due to some reason I opened navigation first time and there came two pop-ups asking me for some settings. I ticked them and then a satellite logo appeared on top bar. Does it consume a lot of battery?
3- So far I have set many applications on automatic updates but I have observed that I have to always update them manually. They don't get updated automatically.

I'm just using the build in email app for my hotmail, gmail, work mail etc. However It keeps bringing up old messages that I leave in my inbox. How can I get it to not keep displaying these? Or better yet is there a killer app out there that does email/contacts better? I hate having to use the whole gmail thing.

Anyone having trouble with widgets stop updating? Like my clock/calendar/weather/news/pretty much any widget i have stops updating after an hour. So i look at my clock widget two hours later and it is an hour behind. Happens to ALL my widgets.Even the quick turn on/off wifi,bt,gps and such. They just stop updating/showing animation.I have ADW launcher installed. I am wondering if it is that. I do not really want to remove it as i hate the stock 3 button interface at the bottom (why do i need a contacts and phone, just use the phone to look thru contacts, wasted space IMO) and am quite keen on keeping the 5 button.Any ideas? If i power off the phone and turn it back on it's fine again for about an hour. SOmetimes randomly thru the day it will start updating and working fine again then randomly stop again.

My wife has been playing with her new phone and needs some help with contact management.1, How can she keep the telephone contacts separated from her facebook contacts. Currently when she presses the phone button from her home page it seems to show all contacts. However when she goes to HTC People it is set to only show phone contacts not facebook contacts. 2, When you have facebook contacts how do you delete them? Do you have to remove them as a friend?I've changed my phone number on my facebook profile but it still shows on my wife's desire as my old number. She's tried removing me as a friend and re-adding me and it's still wrong.

Has anyone other than me needed to make consecutive queries to a sqlitedatabase? My application works sometimes but other times (about 98% of the time), the app will crash. What I'm doing is using the sqlitedatabase.query(..) to return a cursor which I parse, I make multiple successive queries to the database and parse different recordsets/cursors.
My question would be does a sqlitedatabase need to recover or clean up after a .query is issued?

A couple of questions. First thing I was wondering is where to log bugs in the docs. The ContentProvider query() docs are missing selectionArgs in the example code. It also uses the deprecated addId instead of ContentUris.withAppendedId().
With regards to the selection options - how exactly can these handle? I've seen a couple of places where a something + "='" + somevalue "'" is used, but I'm specifically wondering if it can handle IN clauses or if there's some form of or statement I can use to check for a variety of values in a particular column rather than just the one.
Last question is about the Contacts PERSON_ID and how long-lived that is. It is guaranteed to never change (though may be removed obviously). Well not truly guaranteed but will only cycle after it runs out of unused integers. Or may they change value as contacts are removed?
