[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
i wont :D

Hey if people like iPhones, so what. I like em too i just wouldnt have one.

I certainly wouldnt attack a random iPhone user either lol, i would just disagree with their decision of buying it.

Most people who get smartphones dont even know what to do with it, they are happy with some cool apps and fancy looks............ ect

i like the whole idea of hacking and modding my phone to the point that there is no trace of samsung on my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ste1164:
I also love loads of phone and will buy most I like the galaxy s the screen is amazing no doubting that at all. I have had the iPhone 3GS/4, HTC G1/Desire, SGS and I have had a bb bold 9700 and I am using a bb bold 9780 at the moment so I switch around all the time :P quite an expensive hobby.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] diamond_4g64:
Lol you should do like me and be at repairs for a phone compagnie so that you can switch all the time. Yeah!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ste1164:
I am trying to do that or work for like a phone company setting up demo models and stuff :P.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karmacode:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S, I bought it on 21st Dec. 2010... Not many problems with it, but in my opinion this device is going to become "obsolete" in a month...

That's the only thing I don't like. Samsung publishes a new high-end smartphone and then the one which is "older" <- and that's such a stupid word - becomes magically obsolete.

The last update SGS will get is Gingerbread, so no more updates... Do you think this is fair for all the customers who have bought a 499€ smartphone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mosd:
I'm on samsung side but I think apple said it Doesn't matter of who announced what mobile first but when apple got patent on design
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ste1164:
I wouldn't say its fair but the phone is a year old and most phones like the iPhone for example. The wildfire, the desire and others get updated once a year.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karmacode:
Yeah, you're right, I'm just hoping that Samsung will not abandon SGS I users...

For example, I don't know if you checked the latest GB roms with TW 3.0 still... Who knows if they will introduce the TouchWiz 4.0 interface with all the new stuff coming soon...

I'm not moaning or complaining but what the hell :O
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ste1164:
I doubt they will. Just like HTC didn't include sense 2.0 with gingerbread for the HTC desire or Evo. They want you to buy the newer phone. Best that will happen is that there will be ROMS with TouchWiz 4.0 I highly doubt anything official will come out. It's business i guess
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Meh new model cars come out every year, does that make the old ones 'obsolete'?

Anyways that's the pace that industry moves at right now with the technology progressing. You want Samsung to put off updating hardware for 2-3 years and keep updating software for old ones? That's suicide.

I'm happy with the phone getting 2.3. It should add native support for the front camera which has been missing among other things. We don't need the multi-core support coming in Ice Cream. Apparently '2.4' is still Gingerbread only brings compatibility with apps designed for multi-core, actually I wouldn't be surprised if we get that too as it is a minor update. Beyond that I don't have any expectations.

Give up on Touchwiz 4, the galaxy s doesn't even have the gyroscope to support the gestures.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Galaxy S with Gingerbread good enough for me........

............. But then SGS2 does look goooood :-/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waterpipe67:
Apple need to wake up & smell the coffee ,to me it Looks like there backs are in a corner so all they can do is complain about the rest or the best.who cares what they say, the comsumer votes with his cash and not with law suits .

I personaly don't Like apples and a lot of mates think the same way
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ste1164:
They aren't in a corner, who would be if you had the best selling phone at the moment :P. Android is getting bigger but I don't think it will completely destroy apple.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlanFlinger:
Lads lads lads.....

It's only a sodding phone :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] martino2k6:
Tell that to Apple. Considering they just posted record breaking profits and they sued Samsung for causing them damages by infringing on their products... well, Apple sounds like a bully here.

And this is not the first time either. They sued HTC and Motorola before, and I'm sure if they could they would give a stab at Google too.

Anyway, I don't like this. If Apple win it would be a huge blow for Samsung and a big win for Apple. If Samsung win, nothing will change. Ask yourself why they didn't file this lawsuit earlier, after all the Galaxy line has been selling for about a year now already.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlanFlinger:
It's all business BS at the end of the day, they are all out to make money out of you, selling you the latest shiny thing, think back to the days when Nokia were the big boys and the only way you could get a custom ring-tone was to buy it, it will always be the same
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ste1164:
Never a truer word spoken :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LeeBear:
I don't think apple is expecting to win. If you read the lawsuit they are asking for a temporary injunction against samsung. That is there real goal imo. Because of the delay of the iphone 5 due to the earthquake in japan apple won't have and answer for the slew of duo core android phones until Q4. With the galaxy s II about to be release and no ip5 to compete apple is probably gonna lose alot of sales for the next few months. What better way to solve that problem then to prevent your competition from releasing there new phone before you can.. Ie they don't have to win the case they just need a pro america judge to grant a temporary injunction until the case is heard. Like everyone has said if apple really thought there was patent infringments they would of filed it a year ago when the galaxy s was released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waterpipe67:
Today the telegraph paper said that iPhones track all your movement s & this built into phone and not an app.the paper also said this info could be sold on to third party's

Before anyone says all phones can do this I know they can
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
Cant help but LOL at this..... Dont see why it matters tbh.... Dont see sony sue samsung cos they make a tv that looks same...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
ive never heard of this until i read this thread.

so if samsung make parts for apple, and all this is going to court, why dont samsung stop making parts for the iphone, that would delay iphone progression even more.

if i saw an apple right now, i would stab it up and spit on it, and tuck into a fat juicy orange instead.

Well if you read the posts before you can find a post where a guy said that Sammy will lose 5,7 billion for stopping providing materials and components to Apple. Nice, huh lol

Samsung To Countersue Apple In iPhone, iPad Patent Claim

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/136134/20110419/samsung-countersue-apple-iphone-case.htm

Samsung is planning a counterattack against Apple's patent infringement claims.

Samsung aims countersue Apple over infringed patents of its own. "We think Apple has violated our patents in communications standards," said Samsung's Chung Jae-woon to Yonhap News. "We are considering a counterclaim."

Apple alleges that Samsung violated sixteen of its patents and trademarks, ranging from icon design and product packaging to the general feel of the products themselves.

The Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple has pending patent infringement suits with several smartphone makers, including HTC, Motorola, Nokia, and now Samsung. Apple is both a plaintiff and defendant. In that sense a Samsung counterclaim is not unusual.

A counterclaim could involve patents that Samsung owns (and which it will say Apple violated) or it could argue that the "look and feel" of the icons on the phone, for example, have become generic. Samsung did not return calls for comment.

Apple was less than gracious in its own suit. "Instead of pursuing independent product development, Samsung has chosen to slavishly copy Apple's innovative technology, distinctive user interfaces, and elegant and distinctive product and packaging design, in violation of Apple's valuable intellectual property right," the company said in the suit filed Friday.

Apple is a significant buyer of Samsung products, mostly components in devices such as iPhones, computers and iPads. Samsung owes four percent of its $142 billion in 2010 revenue to Apple.

But Apple wants to cut that revenue down. In addition to a variety of damages, the company is asking the courts to order Samsung to end production of infringing products. Some of the implicated products include a number of Samsung's most popular smartphones, including the Nexus S and Epic 4G. Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablet also allegedly infringes on Apple's patents
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ste1164:
I doubt samsung would risk losing $5.7 billion a year from a crappy law suit in which nothing will come about it. They will most likely continue supplying apple parts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
F**K ME !!! 5.7 billion.

thats more than i earn in a week

yeah if i was samsung i would keep making parts lol, if it was £50 i would tell them to stick it where the sun dont shine lol. (in england)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlanFlinger:
There's also the small issue that Samsung will have their danglies tied into a supply contract with penalties for non supply, any supply contract is always in the favour of the purchaser if the buyer and legals team that set the contract up are worth their salt, and I suspect Apple have a pretty good purchasing team.

The other thing to look at with apple is they've probably filed a patent for scratching your ring with your left hand, the file patents almost hourly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Psion and Palm had the same icon approach long before Apple. I know it's just business but it must mean Apple are hurting. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
This lawsuit is for a good reason. Apple is ****ting itself because it knows android is going to completely take over soon.

I should know. I was the biggest iPhone fan boy until the galaxy. I have an shiny iPhone 4 + the Galaxy S. The S is my main phone. Both are modded to the max but the iPhone just can't compete. Not even close IMO.

I put the galaxy in my shirt pocket next to my heart and the iPhone in my pants pocket next to my ass...where it belongs.

Hey, I also sold 3 iPhone 4's this week. 2 were faulty out of the box so I had them replaced under warranty. That's just this week. Maybe Samsung are giving them crap parts as payback.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shayp:

i have the galaxy s for almost 5 months. at the beginning i thought that my phone is good, but the iPhone is smoother. but now, after i got 2.3.3 with a nice rom, and with playing with my sister's iPhone i found that the galaxy s is much better and interesting to work with. i think the android growth just scared Apple and steve jobes.

So, i got my Phone to PC cable replaced cuz it was broken. And the new will be here next week, so i can't charge my phone, do you know any way of charging the battery??

Devices in my room: Rechargeable AA Battery Recharger, Nokia Charger, Sony Charger

Can i use any of those to charge my Sony battery? Please answer fast..Thanks in Advance :)
[XPERIA X8 General] hansz73:
U can use almost any usb cable with micro usb end to charge ur x8
[XPERIA X8 General] silentw:
Almost every MICRO-usb works with X8.

Micro-USB:
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
i know but i don't have an micro usb right now, that's what i said, i am waiting for a new one...And it'll come next week...i wanna know if i can charge battery other way...Maybe can you tell me if i can use an AA Battery charger that looks like this to charge my Sony's battery

[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Any ideas ?
[XPERIA X8 General] sukartochen:
You can use blackberry charge..its same ...,blackberry charge have 2 kind...,one kind same with x8 charge..
[XPERIA X8 General] azzrie2009:
universal charger -.-?

take out ur battery than got 2 needle need to putted on top of the gold pieces @.@
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Yeah, that was my first thought, but how to do it correctly ?:) I got an classic Nokia charger
[XPERIA X8 General] droidjens:
Have you considered the voltages? USB use ~5volts, AA batteries use 1.5volts.

It should be possible to cut open pretty much any old USB cable, but I would strongly recommend you DON'T unless you know what you're doing. I'm no expert, and I sure don't want you to ruin your battery/phone/'puter based on my advice ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Dario!:
you could cut an USB cable: the red cable is +5v and the black is ground and plug them on the battery
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
I agree with Droidjens, basicaly look at the charger's and batery infos. As long as the stats are the same there will be no problem.
[XPERIA X8 General] xdelapan:
vote for Micro USB cable. its right, almost every Micro USB cable compatible with X8
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
the red one should go on the middle(2nd) pin on the battery, right?
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Guys, i found how to charge it, thanks a lot :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonner:
It's designed to initiate download mode on its own.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingokevin:
will give that a try once i get a windows PC running 7

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
vista will work too if you install the .net framework he links to.

but it basically initiates download mode by sending an adb command to your phone.

so you can try adb or a terminal emulator on your phone, (i dont know more on that issue)

or does CM7 have the advanced power menu working? EG hold power, select download mode from menu?

or does CM7 have a nice recovery? with Advanced Option> reboot to download mode? just like our CWM recovery does?

or do jigs still work with CM7? they are easy to make, from 1 -4 resistors twisted together... (trick is to not touch both ends with the same finger or at all USE TAPE TO HOLD HOMEMADE JIGS!!!)

i dunno you might be screwed!.... im stumped
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingokevin:
So I tried bay_wolf AIO and that did not work. I tried terminal emulator and all that did was reset the phone. Hope the jig is in the mail today the one i made all it did was reset the phone. :mad:

The app has always been plagued with problems. Zuckerberg really needs to shell out some cash to get a quality app going, seeing as Android is becoming the most used mobile OS. Though after all the spats they've had with Google, I'm sure it's not a priority for them.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legato525:
It's a higher number, bigger is better. :p
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitsuj17:
higher build# = better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but in all seriousness there is plenty of information about the differences from froyo to gingerbread...the sdk highlights summarize it pretty simply

is the leap from froyo to gb as big as the leap from donut or something to eclair or eclair to froyo? no, or at least it doesnt seem that way

but its whats current
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Gingerbread includes several optimizations for the Hummingbird processor, much like Froyo has a bunch of optimizations for Snapdragon. Most of the changes are not something the user will see and are really on the underlying OS AFAIK.

The middle one isn't needed for bare wire charging.

Just a thought but did you put + to + and - to - ? ( which you should)

Got an old mini USB cable? Use that, end off, black to - red to +,,,, and thirty minutes is about 28 minutes into the danger of explosion/damaged battery zone.
[HD2 General] pvii:
nicola853

Try to measure charging current with a simple multimeter if got one and put a 1.5 kOhm resistor in series with battery and charger. This should limit charging voltage on battery poles to regular 4..4.2V as needed for Li-ION battery charging. Seems like internal battery security circuitry detects overvoltage (above 4.3V) and cuts off charging.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlim4:
Hey, I was just wondering if it's possible that the stock charging cable is able to charge my phone, but has malfunctioned somehow to not let it be recognized by my computer?

Basically I've been trying to get my computer to recognize my phone for a week now.

I'm no expert with this stuff but I'm certainly not a noob. I've been rooted and have been flashing ROMs for months now and have odin'd many times before. Just one day none of my USB drives would work. I formatted my computer, reinstalled my drivers and i know the USB ports are functioning because they recognize other devices.

But when i plug my phone in i get "unknown device" where it used to recognize it once i had the samsung drivers installed. I've tested on a brand new computer, with samsung mobile drivers installed and same result, "unknown device"

Is Heimdall a viable option at this point? I've never tried that program but I have nothing to lose i guess, but someone can save me some precious time if they know it's not going to work, please let me know

P.S. this isn't an issue of not having debugging on or my computer seeing it as a cd-rom, the computer won't recognize the device with samsung drivers installed.

From DroidXcon at AC:

"uninstall the drivers, reboot your computer, reinstall drivers, pull out the battery of your phone connect it, put your phone into download mode and let the composite drivers install...then unplug pop your battery back in , turn on the phone, throw it in debugging mode. and connect and see if it configures"
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlim4:
Thanks Kevin, I've actually been tracking that thread since yesterday and the issue for me is that the composite drivers won't install on its own which is really strange to me as i've not had this problem in the past. I also tried doing everything from scratch on a new computer and got the same results... anyway, i didn't get around to it but will try heimdall tonight and see if anything changes

Some micro USB cables are manufactured only to charge. The rocketfish brand cables from Best Buy, for example. :rolleyes: It seems to me the manufactures simply leave out a connecter on one or both ends of the cable, or leave out one of the lines all together. Try another cable.
