It seems there is a new camera function that came with Froyo 2.2. When I start my camera there is a flashing airplane/bird-like icon with arcs moving away from it like the GPS signal icon. The icon is in the top left corner of the camera screen, next to screen resolution, flower (close-up) etc...

Is anyone here using Froyo XWJPA build (Oct)? I was starting to have success with it the past couple of days, but I hadn't used the camera function much until today. Wow is it ever buggy! That is, unless another app (Smart Taskbar) is causing problems. I can't even view a bunch of pics or...

Is this a new setting in Froyo 2.2? How does it work? It says Back up current settings and application data. That's exactly what I want to do now. Where will this data be stored exactly? Does the backup take place as soon as you check the box or at another time? Has anyone used this feature...

OK, got Froyo 2.2 Screenshot keys are supposed to be Back, then Home. Dumb question. You are in an app and you want to take a pic of the current screen. You press Back and are taken out of the app! How the heck to you press Back and Home when you never get a chance to press Home? Am I...

I just changed the firmware to 2.2 A couple of things happened right away. I got a new notification of a voicemail. I checked the voicemail with my landline (free) and there was no new voicemail there. I wanted to get rid of the notification on my phone (used to be a 'clear' option, not there...

Yeah, another sucker stuck in Kies hell... :( Besides taking up 2G of hard drive space it won't even work! I want to get in, via Mass storage mode to download a fix for the phone so I can get at Kies, but now I can't even connect to my desktop! I select Mass storage/USB connected/Mount and...

Just trying out the FM radio, or attempting to. Error message saying "Unable to use FM radio when Offline profile is active". Anyone know how to change to online profile? TIA

I did a search on lagging/lagfixes here in SGS forum and not much came up describing what the "lag" is exactly. So I'd like to hear what it is we are fixing with the lagfix? I've had various delays with my SGS Eclair, but thought they were normal. I'll describe one now: Pic of white sd card...

How does one register their SGS with Samsung, in the following common situation: You live in country A and purchase your SGS from a company in country B. The company ships you your SGS and when you open the sealed box you discover that the phone was intended for country C (language of...

You plug in your SGS to your computer's USB port. It tells you USB is connected and starts charging. You go to the home screen, swipe down and select 'mount drive(s)'. You copy/move your files and come back to your SGS an hour later. There's a message saying 'Battery fully charged, unplug...

Calendar/Settings/Calendar Sync/Manage accounts. I have three Google accounts listed. My third account shows sync is ON and has the two circle arrows with a green color. I tried months ago and just now once again, to turn sync off for this account (the other two accounts sync is off), but...

Yesterday I was listening to some of the alternate songs that can be used for your phone's alarm. I chose one and tried it. Now I'd like to go back to the default song. Does anyone know its name and how to change back to it without re-setting the entire phone back to its defaults? TIA

Someone already posted about this in the lounge but I don't know what phone they are using. For the SGS, how do you set a particular Contact Group to pop up when you launch Contacts, instead of All your contacts? This seems like a very basic feature, but I haven't found the answer yet. Does...

I just started using the alarm feature for the first time last night. I set the alarm for 9:45 am and then went to sleep at 12:30 am with my SGS at approx. 95% battery life. I always have it set to 'Flight mode'. Today I awoke and there was 1% battery life left! I never had any battery issues...

Text isn't sent unless I start the number with a + symbol. But the number in my phone contacts already has a + symbol! When I select this contact to send a text, the number is stripped of the + symbol all the time! Even if I try to continue a previously established text conversation, it still...

They are counter-intuitive. Received calls has an arrow leaving the phone! Outgoing call has a arrow coming into the phone! I can never remember which is which. :(

Here's one. Contacts/menu/display options/choose which contacts to display It's a joke if you thought you were restricting all of your contacts from being viewed, because you can get in the 'backdoor' to ALL the contacts by going: Messaging/new message/contacts!

I bought my SGS a couple of months ago. I bought a SIM card for use in Canada and it worked fine. I just went to Russia, bought a SIM card there, and it worked fine. Now I'm in Ukraine. I have tried two SIM cards from two different Ukraine companies and although they are both recognized by my...

When I go into Settings/Apps/Manage Apps/ I see an app that I installed last week. The problem is that I can't launch it because it doesn't show up on my home screen or under apps. How can I find this app so I can launch it? (not rooted) TIA

My goal is to be able to copy everything in contacts (Phone contacts, Google accounts, Yahoo accounts, all contact photos, e-mails, home addresses, notes etc. everything...) to my SD card or SIM card. My first question is why does the SGS have a 'copy contacts to/from SIM' feature? Is this for...

Basic phone book questions -how many phone books with contacts can you have? -i can't see any obvious way of adding a second phone book with contacts. Am I missing something? -where is the phone book with your contacts stored? -can you copy this phone book file, complete with all of its...

Sorry for the mundane question. I'm in Memo. I've got 10 lines of text. I want to select the 4th and 5th line of text and cut them out. How do I do it? When I press the text for a couple of seconds I get the usual options to select, but it's not obvious at all what to do next. Step by step...

When I charge using the power adapter, there is no visual indicator that I can see on my SGS that tells me the unit has been fully charged (or even partially charged). Am I missing something here? I have to turn on the unit and see what's going on. Even then I don't know where the charge is...

A few questions about this app. -Is it possible to use this app, without 'activating' it and also avoiding the nag screen that comes up when you start the program? -Has anyone here activated it and then received e-mails or SMS messages from the ThinkFree company at a later date? I understand...

How is it possible that in Aug 2010 with all of the bright cellphone programmers out there, no one thought of creating subfolders for your phone contacts? Am I missing something?
