Performing a quality check after you release a product? I don't think so.

Either there is a huge bug or someone messed up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fane1:
Google also should say to Samsung to release the next update with ext4 like the Nexus s

We all know,(even samsung) that the rfs filesystem is crap and we lost about 6 months to figured out a good lagfix.Dont want to spend another half year tuning gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burner07:
Dose galaxy s really has a gyroscope like iphone 4? cuz on wikipedia it says "3-axis accelerometer, additional 3-axis gyroscope" but with gingerbread in quadrant for example it dosen`t show any gyro sensor.:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karmacode:
Maybe with quality check he meant that they thought GB updates were ready to be released, but when they found out that there was something wrong, something unexpected, they removed the update.

Anyway, I agree with you and I believe it's all about a huge bug. Now, here in Italy, there are lots of news about Samsung smartphones and Android applications from the market. These news are about the transmission of personal data etc. I hope this hasn't anything to do with this "data thefts".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
+1. I'm still on custom jpy and doubt I will ever update. Tried jvk and jvb and personally think they suck.

Some users reported that there's some serious battery drain by Android OS, so maybe that's the reason the firmware got pulled?

I hope we get the fixed one (for whatever it was) soon!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
the battery drain is present also on nexus s

Are you talking about @SamsungJohn on twitter? He seems like a cool guy...I know he's communicated with supercurio before. But it would be awesome if Samsung had a presence on XDA and actually listened to us.

#mammenj

My thoughts exactly. If it was a regular technical problem I tend to feel it would have ben sorted by now. pure speculation I know but I can't help feeling it's more likely a security flaw or data compromise to have had this kind of impact and for so long
[Galaxy S I9000 General] radekgers:
Maybe they'll remove TouchWiz because of the Apple lawsuit :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] buntoo:
I really like the TouchWiz. Have tried various launchers, but always found that TouchWiz is better than others.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stuclark:
Can everyone please stop being so hysterical about this?

The update has been pulled, that is all we know. Everything else, including who and why the update was pulled, is pure speculation!

IF Google "pulled" the update, it's likely to be because of some Gingerbread-wide software issue which they want to sort out before the Galaxy S range of phones get the update. (remember, the Galaxy S and its derivatives probably outsold every other handset model last year) I suspect that this bug is the microphone / speaker delay problem when making / receiving calls. That's a pretty fundamental bug, and one which Google are now admitting is an Android thing and not a manufacturer thing.

IF Samsung "pulled" the update, it's likely to be because they either found a bug in their implementation of Gingerbread that they think needs fixing (no sound on boot up / shutdown; backlight on on buttons permanently; something else we don't know about) OR its because they found a problem with the upgrade process, which they need to fix before re-enabling the update. (some people reported DLL errors and taskbar crashes during / after the update)

One thing is for certain - this has nothing what so ever to do with Apple's ridiculous lawsuit against Samsung. That won't affect Samsung's plans in any way!

# stuclark

well that's true enough. Nowt to do with apple. but beware of falling into the same trap.

Your views are respected but no more valuable than everyone else's
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
If it did have something to do with apple the fascinate froyo would have been plulled has well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zidz:
That's true.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Duulis:
Maybe the reason the update got pulled is the fact that it is incompletely translated? I managed to snatch the update when it was available, but I have noticed that some parts are still in english even thouh they shouldn't. Good example being half of the lockscreen and the notifaction menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stuclark:
That's very true. And it's possible my views are no more accurate than anything else said here.

Having said that, tech companies sue each other every day.

Oracle is suing Google for copyright infringement within the code used in Android, yet Google hasn't stopped writing Android code.

HTC, Motorola, Nokia, Apple are suing each other for IP infringement, yet none of them have stopped selling (or developing) phones.

Apple have sued Samsung for a design IP infringement - in *my* opinion it will never stand up, as otherwise no-one, ever, would be allowed to build a "rectangular phone with rounded corners" again. Or to put it another way, why aren't Apple suing HTC, SonyEricsson, Nokia, Seimens, LG, Motorola, BenQ, Toshiba, Viewsonic and anyone else who's ever made a "candybar" shaped phone or tablet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buntoo:
@stuclark , Well said :)

I agree with you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
I wonder how long we will have to wait until some body tells us what's going on
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Duulis:
Quoted from my earlier post:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
and that would take a week to fix? I doubt it. This speculation is pretty pointless, but pulling an already launched firmware because of incomplete translation seems pretty far fetched.

We don't know what it is but it has to be something quite serious to take this long to rectify and *imo* its gotto be something security related or equally serious. The whole smart phone concept is built on integration of mobile systems that utilise and share personal information - get that wrong and you've got trouble...just my view, but transaltion? nah!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stuclark:
Quite.... but look at iOS - they've got away with tracking each user's movements for years ;-)

I upgraded :-(

Hi all

I´m one the unfortunate ones who upgraded to 2.3.3 and i´m having a few issues with my SGS now things like according to quadrant 2.3.3 has slowed my phone down from a score of about 1200 to about 968 + my GPS works even worse than ever especially with endomondo. When the screen turns of so does the gps :-(

Has anyone else who upgraded experienced things like this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Quadrant? who said low score means slow device? :confused::confused::confused:

Others could tweak something inside and get whooping scores but no apparent change in performance...

I do not use gps so I cannot confirm it. Read some threads, others have opposite experience with their gingerGPS...

As the title says,I'm just wondering.All single-core devices lag like **** when using Live Wallpapers,even my Desire HD overclocked at 1.8GHz lags like hell.Are dual cores any better?

[General Questions and Answers] akralston:
I'd be curious to find out as well. Although I haven't had any real problems with any phones running live wallpaper it does seem like the kind of task dual-cores would be most helpful with.
[General Questions and Answers] tolis626:
Well,with most live wallpapers I haven't had much trouble either on my DHD(didn't even bother on my classic Desire),but there are some on the market that bring it to its knees.Vortex/Ice/Inferno Galaxy,Jumpgate etc,all make it freakin' laggy.And I think my aunt's Galaxy S faces the same amount of trouble.
[General Questions and Answers] liquid0624:
Im sure a dual core device will handle live wallpapers much better then a single one just not so sure about the battery drain and heat of a dual core phone...
[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
I only lag with certain live wallpapers, so I'd have to think a dual core should have zero issues.

Hey All, - Another thread about rooting my phone sorry!

Everything is working perfectly (And running on CM6) except that it doesn't seem to want to go onto 3g and just stays on gprs which is obviously painfully slow!

I assume that it's something to do with the radio signal, I'm on O2 Uk and I believe their 3g is 2100.

I'm confidant the APN is correct as I had copied it before rooting the phone.

The original sbf that I used was the one for the country I got the phone from (New Zealand) and I then followed the advice from my previous thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039212

I'm probably missing somethin obvious, but it would be great to get a few ideas as to what I could look at.

I was really struggling to spend around 15 euros on HTC stylus, so I tried and made my own. All you need is a long stylus - shaped piece of plastic, I used a long lego piece. Next thing you need is a piece of antistatic film you from your eg computer equipment ( around 7 by 7 centimeters) and some scotch tape. Next thing you need is around five minutes free time and you got a stylus.

1. Wrap antistatic film around eg. lego piece and stick it with scotch tape.

2. Optional - you can cut the end of film to give it some more regular shape and to get some more accuracy. It's done :)

It's crucial to remember to be touching the antistatic film itself while using stylu, otherwise it won't work.

[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
Good idea, but a photo would be nice.

i've tried a stylus and was less than impressed, but if it works for you that great :)
[HD2 Accessories] pianoplayer:
I used a old bic pen, wrapped aluminum foil around it, added #0000 steel wool to the tip, put on some tape, etc until it felt "right" and then it worked. You have to be touching the foil though.
[HD2 Accessories] Semen_K:
I will try to upload photos so that can be visible in my post, but dunno how yet :P.

Stylus works great and is very accurate, but the fact is you have to touch the film while using it. But it's not a very big drawback I guess
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
Done with a bit more care that would look very acceptable - ghetto is fine for me, but if I left that on my desk the wife would "tidy it up" direct to the bin lol
[HD2 Accessories] FuturDreamz:
I'm still trying to understand how capacitive screens works, but could you possibly make a stylus out of solid metal?

In which case, I have an idea for a design

some antistatic film, 1"x1" is enough

a little bit of sponge

a copper tube about 4" long and with an internal diameter slightly bigger than the following bolt

a bolt slightly longer than the tube

a nut for the bolt

tape

place the spongy material on the head of the bolt and drape the antistatic fil over top it.

tape it down to the sides of the bolt

insert the bolt inside the tube and use the nut to hold everything together. use lock-tight if needed, as you do not wish to damage the film.

optionally you could rig some sort of clip and put that on before the nut.

you can tweak the design as desired.
[HD2 Accessories] Semen_K:
Capacitive screen works basically by detecting electrostatic load that human body produces.

I think only rule in making non-battery stylus for that kind of screen is to provide a load-conductive material and adjust it to connect directly the finger and the surface of the screen.

So basing on that konwledge I don't think that a solid metal stylus would work due to the lack of connection of antistatic film and a source of a static load. You can check it by just touching the screen with any bolt, or anything metalish at all.
[HD2 Accessories] iPadster2:
I made my own in the beginning

Like many of us, I too tried making my own stylus to use on my iPod, but they always looked like junk and never worked much better. So like everyone else looking for the best, I bought and tried 90% of them and spent a ton of money dong so. Then I tried the STYLUS-R-US ones and wow! They make all other ones look pathetic, seriously. I bought their Terminator and it is awesome to the bone. No pressure a all to make it work. Not foam either. I'm not sure of their url but they have like a dozen so you can just search for stylusrusDOT anything and you'll find them.:D

Can anyone think of any possible reasons why some Google calendar events wouldn't be displayed?

(My wifi internet connection on the phone is fine, by the way)
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The appointments setup on your desktop computer will not instantly appear on Touch Calendar, you need to wait a few minutes (or have you already done that, and they NEVER appear?). I think the refresh function on Touch Calendar just refreshes the Touch Calendar app with your phone's calendar. But does not sync it to your PC's Google Calendar. You have to wait until your phone syncs with Google Calendar, then you should see it come up on Touch Calendar.
