Galaxy S Variants:

Captivate - AT&T

Vibrant - T-Mobile

Galaxy S - International

Epic 4G - Sprint

Mesmorize - US Cellular

Showcase - Cellular South

Fascinate - Verizon

Continuum - Verizon

Other Samsung Android Phones:

Indulge - MetroPCS

Sidekick 4G - T-Mobile

Prevail - Boost Mobile

Gem - Verizon

Droid Charge - Verizon - Not out yet.

Replenish - Sprint

Transform - Sprint

Intercept - Sprint

Acclaim - US Cellular

Its really not that bad. They have 7 Galaxy S phones on 6 different US carriers and the International Galaxy S on multiple carriers. The Galaxy S phones are all very similar with regards to hardware. The other phones fill out different price points. Every company does this.

[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Be nice if they just made all the galaxy S phones the same with the exception of the necessary radio chips for the respective carriers. Galaxy S would be a much more prominant brand name if that were the case. From Samsung's perpective, you think this would be the way they'd want to go, which is why I think it's the carrier input that is the primary reason for all the differences in models.
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
So you're upset because the Epic isn't an "icon" like an iPhone or a Droid? Because Samsung doesn't throw all their money into advertising?

I couldn't give less of a crap. I just wish they would put more effort into their software (Android updates, fixing the bugs that have plagued users since launch).
[Epic 4G General] burgerpimp07:
No, not necessarily, but maybe if they made all the new line of galaxy s phones have the same phone across the board(epic, fascinate, vibrant ect...). They have too many differences in phones, some have led lights, some have keyboards, some have front facing cameras ect, it would be more manageable if they only had one phone, across many carriers.
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
it would definitely be easier to manage. But then people would complain about not having enough choices.;)
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I'm not gonna lie, I wish the Epic was designed a bit sexier. I hope Sprint gets that crazy thin Galaxy S II we keep seeing. I don't want a keyboard...as long as there's another way to get into download mode. ;)

My "complaints" are about the casing though really and not at all about software. I'm kinda superficial. Hah.
[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
You're missing the point: The variety is spread too far and wide. Thus, less recognition and thus longer wait for software updates. You have over a dozen phones with different innards than 2 or 3 phones with consistent innards. That's my argument. I mean look at the Nexus S! It's basically a Epic 4G without the keyboard!
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
i only care that my phone doesn't get updates as fast as i'd like... and actually, quite a few people understood when i said it was galaxy s. maybe they saw the ads?
[Epic 4G General] Poryhack:
Maybe I am on the recognition argument. I'm just not the type of person who cares if people can name off the make and model of my phone. I get compliments on it (<3 SAMOLED) as it is and even that I could live without.

As for the different innards, I refuse to believe that anything besides a different radio makes for any significant challenges in keeping the software up to date, and the radio change is unavoidable. Keep in mind just because our devs have a hard time with something doesn't mean Samsung does. They have source code for the drivers, detailed specs on the hardware, and of course actual PAID professionals.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
The Galaxy S line has sold very well everywhere, and into the millions internationally. So I think Samsung isn't worried about diluting the brand. It doesn't seem to have hurt Motorola and their endless variations on the Droid, and Samsung unlike them doesn't have to pay a royalty to Lucasfilm for the name. XD
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
They were going to do this anyway. Whether they named all or none Galaxy S is beyond the point. Remember, they also have to sell these to the carriers and I'm sure Verizon and Sprint all want to have their brand recognized. Aside from the Nexus, which is really just Google's iPhone, no one seems to want to carry the exact same phone as anyone else.
[Epic 4G General] latindor17:
wow, that is crazy having to pay royalties to use the name droid, Lucasfilm must be money hungry

[Epic 4G General] G.I.Geoff:
Think of it this way.... Okay yes thats a lot of options. But it is android. People want choices right? Well they get choices. After the Android has done everything its done, the iPhone should be a gleaming icon of mediocrity, and User lock in (and user hand-holding). So....No. I say they should add more slower, but no its not to many options. But that is just my opinion.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
By the way, Verizon is the one licensed to use Droid, not Motorola or Samsung or Htc.

[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Lucasfilm? Money hungry? Never. The prequels and crap cartoons and all that were purely artistic exercises ;-D

Seriously though, to be fair, Verizon (thank you previous poster) did market it in a very smart way and that includes the name, so the royalties were seemingly worth it.
[EVO 4G General] jgarozzo:
For the longest time Screen Mode Widget did the trick, then 2 weeks ago it stopped working. I tried others and it would work once or twice but ultimately nothing.

I have tasker but dont know how to set it up to allow me to unlock using the volume keys or to disable the lock screen all togther.

HELP!
[EVO 4G General] evo_mexican:
Use a app called no lock from the market to wake phone with the volume keys....and to disable screen with the search button use an app called screen off and lock...i used those on my old evo that had a broken power switch I use them on my replacement evo so I won't break the power switch again...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randalla0622:
I've been dealing with a problem on my G2 for a while now, but not sure when it started exactly. Basically, I'm no longer able to determine my location using the cell towers (ie: coarse location).

Several programs I have rely on coarse location, such as the News and Weather app and Beautiful Widgets, not to mention latitude via Google Maps.

I originally thought it was an issue with CyanogenMod 7 starting from RC2 and up, but after having reverted to CM 6.1.1 I found that it was not working there.

If I use GPS or WiFi my location is found pretty quickly, and if I set "only use 2G networks" (or whatever the setting is called) then coarse location works.

My testing method is to reboot the phone and then when it stabilizes to go into the News and Weather app to see if it can find my location. When it does not work I just get a screen that says as much and a link to set my location manually.

I've done this same test on clean roms with no settings or restorations and I get the same results.

Thinking that maybe the radio was to blame I went so far as updating it, while at the same time doing the "real" S-OFF routine through gfree (I permrooted using the original method when it was found, which I've read was some type of fake S-OFF...). This didn't change anything, unfortunately.

While I know this is not related to GPS, I wiped the EFS data as well since I updated the radio (thread 1028405). This didn't help either, though I didn't expect it to.

I've called T-Mobile a few times about this, and had them do a clear location, which didn't seem to change anything.

Lastly, while not the same equipment, I did put my SIM back into my Nexus One (Completely Stock, running latest GB from Google) to see if the problem followed me. Using 3G with that phone, I was able to get my location nearly instantly, so it seems to be something with my phone directly. A G2 demo unit at my local T-Mobile store also was able to find it's location quickly via coarse location.

So, I'm lost as to what to do now. Is it broken? Do I need to replace it? Do I need to flash it back to utter stockness and test all over again?

If there is any additional information that I can provide, please let me know.

Edit: I found a solution using the app Location Cache in the market. Just wipe the location cache using the app and it should fix your problems. Here's the link:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
I have the same issue. It started while on CM7 and now if I go back to any other ROM the issue persists. Always wondered what caused it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pagingjimmypage:
I'm having the same problem. Try switching your mobile network to 2G only and see if network location works then. It works flawlessly for me with 2G only but when i switch to 3G/HSPDA+ it fails to find my location and give me the "location temporarily unavailable" error. Wifi and GPS work fine but that's useless unless you have wifi signal available or are outside. I had this problem in the past and flashing a new radio worked before but I can't seem to get it to work this time. I"m running the CM7 Stable but have tested it on the MIUI ROM as well. So frustrating.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randalla0622:
Solved

I found a solution!

Because of all this location tracking non-sense, I downloaded an app called Location Cache from the market. I was thinking that it might be helpful in trying to figure out my lack of location services on 3G/4G.

The information it displayed was that all my cell towers had an accuracy of -1. Thinking it couldn't get worse, I wiped the location cache, which also results in the phone rebooting.

To my surprise, after the phone came up I was now getting location services on 3G/4G. Accuracy at my home was 75 vs -1, and my location is working in my work area as well (about 20 miles North of my home).

Here's a market link:

[Nook Color General] pixeljunk:
I've seen this asked once before without an answer. I know it's an odd question. But is it possible to dual boot from a single SD card?

In other words, two totally different installations on a single SD card + the Nook kept at stock.

I know I can root the Nook directly. But if at all possible I'd prefer to keep it at stock. Nookie Froyo has been running great from my SD, so I'd like to just stick with it and not touch the Nook itself.

At the very worst I can pick up a new SD and swap them out if it's not possible.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
It is possible but there's no universal way to do it. You need to modify your rosie.apk to get them removed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] targett:
Look for an app called "Desktop VisualizeR" or "Multicon"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feenty:
There is an app called apk manager, or apk editor...

You can use it on your pc to edit your apps (icon,label,etc...)

It's created by an xda member... Google it!

With this app you can remove labels.

Hi, I like a lot of your skins, but I & quite a few others don't like these sports, and can't really use your skins. Thats a shame because they are nice.

Hi,

Greatly appreciate if someone light me up the issue I have here.

After installation of TNT Lite 2.x.x, I found that I lost the root access. It didn't matter what I used, Z4root..etc It doesn't allow me to paste/create anything in "\".

So I got my Gtablet back to 3588 by using NVFlash recovery method. And now I want to use TNT 4.x or TNT 5.x but I can't because I still don't have the access to "\" whenever I try to copy update.zip and recovery folder onto "\"

Moreover, whenever I press power and volume + to get into the recovery, it keeps going to Booting Kernel Recovery Image...

I do have ccidental damage insurance that I purchased along with this tablet - means I can intentionally damage this and get the new one but I really hate to do but learning is the key to success...

Anyone has any idea how to regain the root access on the tablet I have here?

Thanks a tons/millions!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reda88:
Dear members,

I hope someone could explain to me the following issue and if possible to suggest how to solve it.

I have a Desire HD device with Revolution HD ROM installed and I''ve been using it swiftly for a couple of months now. Anyhow yesterday the phone was being a bit slow (which is perfectly normal) so I restarted it to clear the cache (I do that regularly twice or thrice per month), but I was surprised when it turned on of all the "force close" pop ups for most of the apps on my device!!

Of course I made a backup using Titanium Backup but now I can't use it.

What happened? How can I stabilize the device again, and get my apps back? Any suggestions or certain commands to use? I still have Terminal app installed and I can use it.

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wuzz3r:
If you can get into ROM Manager, use the fix permissions button, that will sort it out. If you cannot, boot your phone into CWM Recovery (Plug into wall socket when turned off, or boot with Power+Vol_Down, then go to recovery) There is a fix permissions option in there, that will do the same thing as the ROM manager fix permissions, when it is done, reboot your device and all should be well. :)
