Hi guys,
i brought galaxy i5801 . its just one month old . its running on 2.1 android .
i have few problem like its lag while browsing contacts . while calling i find it slow . also it lag while browsing call log .
what i find that it lag whenever there pic in contacts like i have put some pic of my friend and family in their numbers .
now my question are
1. is it possible that i can me home key as dedicated answer button whenever call is coming . its total pain to use touchscreen while driving car . if i can't find way to make home key as answering button then only option would be left is sell this mobile and buy another mobile has dedicated answering button
2. is it possible to reduce this lag in call log and contacts as well as make this slow moving mobile to perform better
3. Is it possible to get small preview of all homescreen like HTC so that moving from 1st homescreen to 7th homescreen become easy .
thank you,
MasterSquall
Hi..
1. Yes u can use the Home key to answer a call..
Go to settings..call settings..all calls..answering call..check the 2nd box i.e Answering call..
2. It does lag a bit while in contacts and dialer..use a task killer to kill background apps..it decreases the lag..i use Advanced Task killer..u can get it from the market..
3. You can get sense previews but its not possible with the stock launcher..Install adw launcher or launcher pro..i use adw..
Enjoy your galaxy

Try Photo contact app from market. It gives u all the contacts in a scrollabe widget.. Its saves u the time for opening contacts

In launcher pro press n hold the contacts button on the dock.. U will get an option to change shortcut.. Select that n choose contacts from the applications list.. Or else u can simply drag contacts on the dock from the app drawer..

On the mytouchslide I can just dial the name of the person I want to speak with on the g2 I cannot anyway to change this?
That is sense feature. I will miss it when I ditch my EVO and goto the G2. I am not sure if other Dialers will do the same thing.....
There are a few apps for this. I personally like "Star Contacts." I believe another one was "Dialer One."

I use Star Contacts as well.
Ah yes, one of many features that I miss from my slide. That and the full weather animation.

Do any of these programs change the way the dialer looks. I don't want a change in the look just the feature
My suggestion would be to just tap the search button, type the name in there, and click the dial icon.

No. Here's Star Contacts. Once you get the contact on screen, you click the contact. From there you can call, text or email the contact.
It also provides some enhancements of the call log that I prefer to the standard call log. You get the exact time of the call, not "3 days ago" and you also get the duration of the call in hours, minutes and seconds.
why not use the search button? no really on the phone. you tap the button then type the name and it will look for it in your contacts and you click to dial.
You can get weather animation with beautiful widgets.

lets say you just called them an hour ago, and want to dial them back again
isntead of hitting a total of 2 buttons to call them again, in order to type in their name, you're going to have to do at least 3, and more depending on how long your contact list is, to an average of about, lets say 5.
that would mean a 150% increase in keystrokes...
If you just called them an hour ago (not sure how often *you* make phone calls) they should be near the top of your recent calls...
i use Dialer One, which is similar to the HTC Dialer and has swiping from page-to-page for recents/favs/contacts.
Also, getting a shortcut to the program where you can get to it quickly might help too. If you haven't checked out replacement launchers/homes in the market, I'd suggest it.

What nolsen311 said... Your situation is solved by stock software. I don't think the issue is recent calls, but simply searching for peeps. The stock search button works well.
cant you just flash it and install Desire Z rom?
Can't you just... open the keyboard, type the name, tap the profile image, tap the phone icon (first one)? It's not so complicated.
Works perfect for me!
to the OP... i'm hooked on the HTC Sense way of searching/dialing (T9 "spelling" out a contact's name)
i really like Dialer One - its *very* similar to the Sense interface, if that's what you're coming from
also, a couple times i had an idea for an improvement so i emailed the guy and he fixed it right away - pretty cool!
(ps... that star contacts looks pretty slick - i might just give that a try too!)

For the weather animation and Sense style weather clock widget, check out "Weather and Toggle Widget" by Android Apps in the market. It costs a couple of bucks, but works great. A true Sense style clock and weather widget with full screen animations on stock Android.
If you get it, to get the Sense style to it, download the H7C Clock and H7C Weather themes for it, and the Weather Widget Forecast Addon by Android Apps for the animations.
HI , is there a way to disable sense after the update to 2.2 .?

If you go to "Menu -> Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps" and choose the "All apps" tab, find HTC Sense and then choose "Clear standards" that should do it. (My menu is Danish so these menu points might not be entirely correctly named)
When you press the "Home" button you can choose which launcher you want to use.
Not completely sure if this is what you meant by disabling Sense - this way you can use another launcher but Sense will still be there.
Otherwise I believe you will have to root and install a different ROM.
Cheers mate ..
1st i have selected to force close htc sense and then directly press the HOME button . when doing so sense just restarts .
when i press the clear all data button , it clears all data and then starts ( reloads sense ) and then i start from the beginning .
I guess i have to install a launcher in order to use my phone without sense ?
basically what i would like to try out is just to use the standard interface , without send would it look like this
Cheers

Of course I should have checked before posting but it seems the option to choose Android home has disappeared updating to Froyo...
Before when doing as I described I could choose between stock Android home, HTC Sense and Launcher Pro - now I can only choose between the latter two.
However, I can definitely recommend Launcher Pro. It improved responsiveness so much in Eclair that I haven't even bothered to try out Sense after updating although I guess I should
Launcher Pro is only other launcher I've tried so others might be just as good but if you want to try something other than Sense I wouldn't hesitate
Home Switcher's a good app for this.

Is there anyway to change your default homescreen? I really love touchwiz's customizability and app drawer but really dislike the fact that the defualt home screen is the first one.
Can anyone help?

I know it's not what you asked but stick your finger on the little numbers before the bottom layer of apps (drawer, phone, etc) and drag left and right. It'll make switching quicker and so the fact it's first won't be as annoying.
This may sound stupid, leave the default homescreen as 1 and just change what 1 is?
menu->edit or pinch to get the homescreens up and just press and hold then move the one you want as default to the 1st spot?

Not possible without rooting the device!
It's one of the reasons why I ditched TouchWiz from the first day on. I use launcher pro now because I really like the dock with three pages for all my important apps.
If you root, you can edit default.prop to change this to another default screen
Download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775154&highlight=homescreen&page=37
open SGS tools and go to .prop Editor and edit default.prop
#sets TouchWiz Launcher default screen
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=4
press menu and save I rebooted and it worked
(forgot to try if it's gonna work without rebooting )
enjoy

Hi, I must have delete some apk that stop me from adding using the default widget application. Can anyone upload it, thanks in advance.
think we'll need more info.. is this a specific widget or all widgets that you're having a problem with?
and a word of (fairly obvious) advice.. if you don't know what something does, leave it alone!

When you press setting, add to screen. There is a option of widget. When I press it nothing appear.

Hi,
Did you noticed that it takes about 2 seconds (!!) to reach home screen when pressing the home button from any application.
It's happening only on Sony Ericsson launcher so this is pure launcher oriented.
I realy like the SE launcher and don't want to give up and move to another.
Is there any solution for this issue ??
Thanks !!
Try V6 Supercharger.
And post in the correct section and use the search function!
Thanks .
But is that actually solving the SE Launcher's Home Button 2 seconds lag ?
I did search but couldn't find any post talking specifically about that.
Usually it should fix the issue, because among other things it lock the home in memory.

Thanks for the fast answer .
Do you mean that Go launcher, for example, is already memory locked ?
While SE launcher is not, and that is the reason it takes about 2 sec ?
If you already installed that, how much time it takes you to reach home screen from within another app (Whatsapp for example) ?

I'm not really sure about that, but I think so.
That's definitely.
I'm not using Whatsapp, but usually it responds instantly and don't have to refresh the apps/widgets on the homescreens (or you won't recognize it).

Forgive me for asking, but can you can try to do it from any app, just launch any app you wish, and then press Home. Can you tell me how many seconds passed from the moment you pressed home till the home screen really shown ?

Restarting the phone will help for a while. If you are like me and don´t want to mess around with that supercharger thing this is the only way to fix that
restart didn't help...
Anyway, I installed zeam launcher and everything is super fast.

I tried SE launcher and go launcher, both got lagging issue (sometimes) when backing to home screen. I'll test zeam later.
BTW, my wife's ArcS perfoams very well. No lag at all.
