What is the deal with the media scanner? - Captivate General

I hate the stupid media scanner. You know I boot into my rom I wanna use it, not freaking wait 20 minutes while it scans my system 20 times.... sorry just had to vent. Been a frustrating day.

Just saying.

Do you wanna be able to see all your pictures in the gallery? See all your music in the music players?
If so....sit back and wait cause that's what's going on. Its reading your crap so those apps know it exists.
And unless your internal sd is full and you have an old pos sdcard that's packed full too i highly doubt it takes 20 minutes.

Windows 7 doesn't have a media scanner... Just saying

If you hate it so much just disable the damn thing, no need to make a completely new thread to whine about it.

Honestly I wouldn't take this thread too seriously, I just spent 4 hours customizing ics on my phone and then it locked up and wouldn't boot animation, so I spent the next 2 hours putting a kk4 rom back on and restoring, tweaking etc, and at some point booting was taking forever because of the media scanner and that was the end of my patience so I had to blow off some steam. Some days in the world of custom roms just don't go your way, but in hindsight It was worth a shot to ics as I've been dying to play with the and I didn't wanna get hassled by a Verizon employee just to check it out.

You have the worst luck with ROMs I've ever seen. Why does everything you flash break.
To Punish and Enslave

Not too much till recently, I haven't been stock since December of 2010. I'm taking ics with a grain of salt, they are considered experimental versions as of now anyway. Probably could of fixed if I wiped data and started over but I was running out of time and tb wasn't working right with ics so just easier to throw a kk4 rom back on. So far so good with this one

It might be time for a full wipe. With the issues you've been having I would say try the full wipe. Either that or your hardware might be starting to die a slow, painful death.

I haven't tried any games yet but I put saraum kk4 back on and installed the newest version of the corn kernal, oc'd to 1200, and ran system corporate tweaks and the phone is running great currently! Bluetooth, wifi, 3G all work great, think I might be good to go on this rom, haven't tried a game yet, as I gotta redownload the 500 meg files for each one

So after todays update i returned my Thunderbolt

Its gone, todays radio made the phone even worse for me, always had a crap signal to begin with but it got almost unusable after the update, i was gonna get a charge but......the store said they have moved back the date to a TBA again, he also said they bionic has been cancelled, i was left with no option but to go back with the iphone, i almost went with a galaxy S, but ive had one of those upto getting my TB and didnt really wanna go back to something i had already had..
To sum it up, the TB is a great device that lacks the testing it required, it seems to have been rushed out with horrific battery life even with custom roms its still crap for heavy users, and poor signal..
Ill buy one again if they get there crap together and fix the obvious faults, but until Verizon releases a good dual core android im gonna have to stick with what i know.
Cool story, bro.
cool story bro, tell me again with subtitles.
I don't notice any change after the update
ThunderBolt isn't for everyone I guess. I love 4G and I can work with the small battery.

Yikess......not sure where you live, but I get fantastic 4 g everywhere in Chicago, have had 2-3 random reboots since I bought on day 1 (which could be less that the reboots on my Dinc), and get reasonable battery life, best phone I have yet to own.
Not to crap on your post , but I took my ip4 back because of bad service. My TB will hold service where the ip4 wouldn't. I will take service over battery anyday.

Interesting.... You took it back, after being rooted and applying the update (that's what your other post said) sounds like someone may have messed up...

			
				
I just had 4G turned on in my city (Sacramento) a few minutes ago.. I've had the phone for a while and it rocks!!!.. I am surprised you've had so many issues with your phone.

Yeah and at least you can change the battery when it dies.. You can't even do that with the iPhone, what a great "feature". Two batteries and a stand alone charger only cost $10 on eBay. Besides I get over a day of battery anyways. I think the real problem existed between the phone and the ground...
I've loved my TB since day 1 and have no problems with it other than a slow to find me GPS. I love this phone and would have to agree that the problems for many seems to be between the phone and the ground. Rooted with DasBAMF 1.6.3 FTW!

Yeah buddy, I dig on the speed.
LTE speeds in Metro Detroit (Especially around Roseville, where I live) seem to be insanely good. Actually all phone data does seem to be good here, as my iPhone 4 on AT&T used to get around 5-7mbps in Roseville, but 2mbps elsewhere if I was lucky.
According to speakeasy I've get around 25-38mbps in Roseville, depending on time of day.

Al least you posted in the right section!
when i was driving to go on vacation i passed threw denver and it was awesome was way faster, i know where i live wont have 4g for a looong time same with where im moving soon
I am in Minnesota enjoying the LTE for the moment. I actually forgot I was tethering and ran through about 16GB of data today. Good thing I got this phone a couple of days ago, I would be absolutely screwed with tiered data.
Also, I almost crapped myself when I ran this:

Infuse low SAR !!!!

I really like this phone and have left the apple world..... I did run across the SAR radiation level of the phone and saw that it was like .4 for head measurements. That is a great feature in itself.
Good info. Didn't even know you could find that

How did u find it out? I thought the SAR radiation levels site mentioned infuse around 1.26.
.2 according to cnet. I'm not sure who to believe, but I do like that its on the list of lowest in the U.S.

OMG!!! 0.2 is like nothing compared to blackberries and iphones (these have over 1.0)..!!! Looks like it was a good choice coming to Infuse.
I would not consider the 1.26 when used a a hotspot and put near head... cos I don't see anyone putting a phone near head when using as hotspot. That's ridiculous.
Yeah, this is great. I think i'm going to suggest to my mom she get a samsung when she upgrades.
Haha, yeah, I think it'll be pretty easy to not hold it to my head while i'm on a laptop using mobile AP

People actually care about this? Honestly, the radiation is so minute that it would take hundreds of years to notice a difference at all.

Don't mean to start a war, but it does infact effect. Try to find a butterfly colony near any cell tower, its not easy. Anyways, point here was to convey it effects, be it little or more, and its always best to play safe, atleast where possible.

Mind heading over to the infuse development forums and providing a system dump to us AT&T users. It will greatly help the Custom ROM development on your shiny new Infuse and make it a better experience for everyone
That was my plan but my boss ran out with the only working demo.. gotta wait to get my own lol

I would love to get my hands on the infuse, from what I've read its an amazingly well built phone with the power to back up the looks and I've been a huge samsung fan since the first galaxy phones came out. I definitely will have to get one for dev/personal use when my finances allow, and also the wife....lol

Lol yeah it is huge the icons on it are bigger than some of my widgets on my cappy and I've seen portable dvd players with less screen. It truly is a monster of a phone, but in a good way, not like the motorola bricks of the 80's that you had no hope of fitting in even a large coat pocket, they were some sturdy pieces of tech though I have one that I held onto that's been thrown, sat on, coffee spilled on, the list goes on and it still powers on and holds a charge and had 0 cracks anywhere on it, well the last time I had it out anyways, its been a lil while and after moving its hard to say.

Am I Okay for Daily Use?

Hey everyone,
I just got the Nexus S 4G last night, traded my Epic 4G Touch for it. Hardware wise, I guess I downgraded, but practicality and such - I'm a very happy camper.
GPS works great, fits like a glove in my hand, and I love that it's in a much newer condition lol.
Any way,
This phone came running on an ICS build. I'm not really sure which and it seems stable so far. I'm just curious, is there a more recent type of ROM/update I should run on or is it okay to just stay on this build here.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I'm sorry, but that was a bad trade to me.
oh well can't stress over a $200 loss.
if you want stable, then what you have may be stable. if its not crashing of course.
now what you have seems to be 2 months old. and to a lot of us. that's like a year.
I wont endorse any ROM because they havnt included a thanks in the OP mentioning me.
mine is still in develoment. its the best.

Anyway, to the OP, I actually went the opposite way.. I traded my nexus s for a second e4gt, kinda regretting it.. You will love the ns4g, it gets the job done.
