Hello all I have both handset but sl used by me and galaxy s is by my brother.

What I have notice that:

1. Lcd is produce more nature color picture (but black not that nature compare to sgs)but somehow amoled is overall winner. But in my opinion I like my Slcd.

2. battery of sl is better, you can get 1 or 2 hour.

3. Rest both handset Are same but sgs beat Sl in huge in graphic department. It has more capable gpu.

4. One thing I don't like about my sl is it unable to play unconverted 720 mkv available on net. Where my sgs play them smoothly with native player.

5. One more thing make huge difference is custom rom and developer support in community.

In the end Sgs is overall winner.

I consider sgsl good buy due to its price in india but unability to play hd mkv smoothly is make me anger on such a Great device.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanmayrocks:
1. Yes, the two devices are fare to compare, as they have similar hardware, with only minute differences and there are a lot of people out there waiting for a practical comparision of two.

(i9000 has an edge running latest gingerbread that also 2.3.4, but i9003 will also get that soon)

2. Processing Power: opening the gallery, i9000 takes more time, i9000 still lags at many places(though i think that can be fixed) and in some more places i could feel practically.

3. i9003 better camera: it does click quickly, but the main comparison in quality is because of the tinge that i9000 has cause of amoled, the pictures on i9003 are far better, comparing with same settings(side by side), i still got to compare them putting on laptop.

4. i compared the sound quality via headphones only, asi dont have digital equips for that, but i could't find any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cantIntoCode:
Fail on so many behalfs, its amazing how many people will read something and believe it.

Both processors are clocked @ 1GHz, although the hummingbird comes out on top as the best single core processor, do your research.

We have bluetooth 3.0, i9003 has 2.0

Graphics processor we have the SGX540 and the i9003 has the SGX530.

Super AMOLED/+ screens are beautiful to look at, can't get much better really.

Simple, there's a reason why the i9003 is cheaper.

Also, the better battery life on the i9003 is due the the battery being 1650mAh and the i9000 being 1500mAh
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] adhikarb:
JOKE -.- No offense though! I have seen SL in action..my close friend has it but haha declaring SGSL winner over SGS JOKE! :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bprabawabr:
I am one of those people :D

AFAIK, hummingbird is claimed to perform 10-20% better than OMAP (both @ 1GHz), which is why I'm surprised at your results :)

Opening the gallery can be affected by numerous factors such as the number of pictures, the number of folders, etc.

At what places exactly does the i9003 lags? I'm most interested in the UI (will most probably use Go Launcher EX, if that helps) :)

OK, thank you very much for your help :D

I'm still keeping my eye on this thread ;)

However, the supposedly more consuming SLCD puts the question back in... and now it's answered! :D

What, specifically, makes you believe so strongly? :)

I think it's better to be specific here because people's needs vary. I, for one, don't really care about gaming performance, save for the occasional bird-hurling :rolleyes:, which doesn't really use much GPU as much as it uses the CPU (to calculate the physics and all).

Thanks before :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanmayrocks:
seriously i never said i9003 is better than i9000.. both have their pros and cons...it was just a comparision and i never said i9000 was inferior or anything.

(Left pic:i9000, right:i9003

though i dont know if this proves the thing, i was talking more practically rather than specifically)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] adhikarb:
First of all..it lagged pretty badly while multi-tasking....

Secondly..admit it..SAMOLED just looks SOO better after the VOODOO color fix! ;) (w/o it too!).

Third point Gaming performance and Hummingbird chip=win!

Fourth point XDA Support! We are a family of more than 10 million!!

Pros of SGSl

1. Cheaper! (Big factor of our market (INDIA))

2. Comparable to its big bro i9000 but NOT its replacement ;)

3. Upgradeable to 2.3 like i9000(I hope so..have u guys got GB yet? )
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
Dude shudnt u be the one doin the research???sgsl has bt 3.0. Just google abt the cpu and u will get to kno which one is better.samoled vs slcd is a matter of personal choice.i m quite sure u hav never seen a sgsl display thats why u r so arrogant in ur remark.cause ppl who has seen both tend to go for the slcd due to usablity issues.excpt for the gpu part sgs is by no means better than sgsl.then again whats the use of such gpu when i m playin all the hd games currently available flawlessly.u may like ur sgs.but that doesnt allow u to flaunt around tryin to disrespect other peoples opinion. the sgs that r available currently are refurbished ones.so ppl who r plannin to go for sgsl,do it.u wont regret,unless u want an awesome gpu without any practical use.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bprabawabr:
'

Nah, that would be my post they're referring to. Maybe.

Not that I made such general and conclusive statement :P

Hmm.. I can live with subpar screen, also without outstanding gaming capabilities..

The XDA support is something I will *someday* miss, I suppose. I've always wanted to know what Cyanogen is all about ;)

However, between i9000 and i9003, I can't choose i9000, as it's gone extinct here in Indonesia. I was merely using i9000 as a benchmark for i9003's performance, but that's for my own personal purposes and needs :o

Edit:

Oh, where's my manners? Thanks again for ur input! :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
I support u on this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
U r right but gpu part goes to sgs. Day to day life hd mkv play important role to me. Yes our sgsl can play all available games with good framerate. But I dont think majority of people play graphic intensives games but most of people want atleat a device which can handle unconverted movies on their device. I have invest my 20k in sgsl and not happy with this news.

Otherwise this device Is great buy over sgs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
Dude just check the two phones side by side and look at the display and it will be easier to decide ;-)

This is so funny.ppl keep braggin abt gamin performance of sgs.seriously dude,just check youtube and see how asphalt 6 runs on sgsl.lol.games are made in a way so that they can run on majority of the devices.they arent sgs or power vr540 exclusive.and its not computer games we are talkin abt here.like i said awesome gpu with no practical use.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rdr_m:
Dude the movie playback issue is due to driver issue.not hardware.just hav patience and wait.sumthin will turn up.then agn it takes only 5 or 6 min extra for kies to convert the files without any loss of quality at all.so dont be so unhappy for that extra 5mins man.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
lol my milestone is better than sgs ...my milestone can be oc upto 1.2ghz and it has a cpu of just 600 mhz and gaming is much better on 480*854 resolution and i have got good battery life in 1400 mhz and both sgsl and milestone having ARM Cortex A8 processor, PowerVR SGX530 and the only diff. is the frequency of cpu
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arnab_das:
SGS has the better support developer wise. Cyanogen mod etc. end of story.

no app in the android market is gonna take advantage of the Power VR540 gpu.

OMAP is a better processor than hummingbird for heaven's sake, just because of its extensive overclocking capabilities! however on the SGSL, since OMAP cannot be overclocked i guess i'll have to give it to hummingbird.

AMOLED is awesome. period.

battery consumption on SGS is lower, due to AMOLED. hence the 1500mah battery. SGSL sucks battery life wise. SLCD is a battery hog.

conclusion? in the current scheme of things, going for SGSL makes more sense, economically, and maybe one can upgrade to SGS II next year.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gianpa:
I was able to compare the two displays side by side and I must say that while samoled has better contrast and awesome blacks, slcd is sharper. I personally prefer sharpness to deeper black.

Besides, I'll never buy a samoled device because samoled burns so easly... in less than a year you'll have a permanent system bar on the top of the display, and this sucks if you spent 500€.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jerkysh:
i don't see why would you put this in the development topic

closed?;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gianpa:
good point :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
I wanted a phone with a nice large screen, good performance and cheap. $350 in comparison to ~$500 for the SGS for a less colourful screen and a slightly worse CPU and GPU was a good tradeoff for me.

Please do. :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Because there is no seperate thread for galaxy sgsl discussion.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverick2077:
I believe the Galaxy SGSL has a front facing camera for video calls which the SGS lacks. Going by the manner in which 3G is spreading like wild fire this feature might surely become useful in the very near future...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
Ok thanks for info now I understand why there is no video on video call on my sgs...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
how about s/amoled vs slcd under direct sunlight?

a friend has a samoled wave it does struggle with visibility under direct sunlight.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arronov:
hmm.. after i followed 3 pages of this thread... maybe it's better i'll buy another device, neither i9000 or i9003...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] -freedroid-:
Maybe you should take a look on the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xchasa:
Ive had SLED phone and could never see anything on the screen on a bright sunny day.

SAMOLED screen on auto brightness and its clear as.

Blacks also play an important role for overall quality I think. All other screens I've had or have seen look sickly grey in comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xchasa:
R u sure...... Cool.

Maybe I'm the only one in the world with a sgs i9000 and fully operational ff camera. Research people.....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tanmayrocks:
i9000 has a front facing camera,

and now i9003 development is increasing day by day.

Subin found an interesting thing, i9003 listed as Galaxy S Plus in samsung India's website.

I have a GT-I9000M and it has both cameras.

BTW, I am really annoyed by this phone and am seriously considering dropping it. GPS and battery life is a joke! :(((

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Specialosio:
But nothing about the ram?

9003 don't have more ram than 9000?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Specialosio:
Ahahaha i can't belive, in this link, the photo about

Samsung ARound Me Augmented Reality

is a place near to my house!!!! 100 mt!!!

there is Piazza Anfiteatro..

AMAZING!!!!:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] aeon44:
the screen of I9003 is already clear though i still haven't seen the AMOLED of I9000 up close.

i'm an I9003 user and the screen of SGS is bigger than my iTouch 4G and the camera is much much better than iTouch 4G has.

i tried playing 720p music videos on it and it looks better and clearer than playing it on my laptop using MPC.

so the I9000 might have a little advantage on I9003 in terms of hardware, but i'm pretty sure my I9003 is much better than my iTouch 4G except for the processor, i guess.

the only problem i'm having is that there aren't much ROM's for I9003 like the I9000 has.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gur-i:
Samsung galaxy SL I9003 is much much better than galaxy S I9000 because it's overwall performance is better , the Omap & the Cortrax A9 blends to give a awesome performance ,

Gpu is a bit low , A.205 is much powerful in I9000 .

Cam in I9003 is Awesome ,

Owerall performance of I9003 is Better than I9000 even the benchmark rating is better .

The only thing that I9003 has a low Development is Mainly cauz of OMAP Chipset , for which the manifacture usually dont give any drivers or even delays giving those . but awesome Dev at XDA-DEvelopers , have done a lot ...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] laulakh:
are the screens the same

Hey

i know this thread has been dead for awhile by can anyone let me know if the i9003 replacement screen fit on the i9000 headset?? I can get the i9003 screen and digitizer for lower price. Either way i would be purchasing an LCD screen, since ebay offers screen for both headsets in LCD, so quality should be same. I just need to know if all the ports line up with each other.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Sonoo:
AFAIK they are slightly different. This has been answered by dhiru i think. Both panels have different dimensions and also have different power consumption due to different display technologies used. I would say that they are incompatible with each other.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Chethubm:
bluetooth 3.0 is of no use without HS profile. bt still i9000 is the winner.. reason is the chipset(both the cpu n gpu) is better than the sl's chipset..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mrheroinlol:
Can anyone explain the whole ext2 3 4 and those to me? Idk how any that works or what it's for. I have an Optimus v. Any help would be cool thank you c:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Ok try

[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
that was funny :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mrheroinlol:
So what does android normally run on? Ext3? And can it run on ext4?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
Dude how did u do that!!

BTW

ext2 = extended filesystem version 2

+ = fast

-= not easy data recovery because it has no journaling

ext3=extended filesystem version 3=extended filesystem version 2 + journaling( this means filesystem keeps a log of all operations done on it..if something goes all it does is read the journal and the last operation)

+= safer,data doesnt corrupt easily,easy recovery

-=relatively slow compared to ext2

ext4= extended filesystem version 2 =super awesome ..Complete rewrite

+= has all the goodies u can think of !!!

-= none to say(i love reiserfs though ..its a pity that dev is in jail for killing his wife !!!)

SO stop asking same questions !!! flash AMONRA 2.2.1 and format with ext4...God !! same questions over and over again ...

[Trophy General] skel3:
I have an Australian Vodafone HTC trophy, which I flashed with the

RUU_Spark_Vodafone_AU_1.07.178.04_Radio_5.50.09.15 _22.23.50.09U_by_ansar

Since flashing I cannot update from 7008 to 7932. I get the 80180048 error

I noticed that it is a little different to the stock ROM which was

Vodafone_AU operator, branded ROM version 1.09.178.06 and CID VODAP001

I was wondering if this 1.09.178.06 ROM was available?
[Trophy General] XeKToReX:
I also had this same issue, I never found a way around it, Voda has replaced the "mainboard" in my Trophy twice now under warranty, I'd take it back and complain about dropouts and not updating, worked for me!
[Atrix 4G General] Tikerz:
I just got an Atrix a few days ago. I did the webtop hack and paired both my MS bluetooth mouse and Apple bluetooth keyboard. The mouse works fine. The keyboard would only type numbers as if the NUM LOCK was on. There's no obvious NUM LOCK key on the keyboard at all. Spent forever trying to find a solution and finally got one on a Ubuntu forum.

Press FN and F6 twice to get out of NUM LOCK mode! Works like a charm now. Just have to do it every time you get into webtop mode.

Hope this helps those who have these keyboards and want to use them with webtop.
[Atrix 4G General] shelay:
nice one

nice one mate. you just helped me solved a massive problem. now to sort out the apple mouse. for some reason, it would connect but it wouldnt pair. was about to sell the keyboard. life saver
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mightymouse2045:
Would this be a good thing compared to wxga it was slated to be released with?

http://www.tabletmonsters.com/news/samsung-2560x1600-10-1-tablet-display

The Pentile display has already been completed and is available to Samsung, so why wait if it's almost equivalent with Retina display technology?

If only! (and pleeeeeease freaking include the microSD slot)

If they wait and release an updated Tab later this year they will be annoying the crap out of a lot of people.

I think it's going to be best to wait now and see when they are planning on releasing the screen - and or including quad cores. If its happening this year I think I'll wait. There's nothing worse than buying something that is blown away 1 to 2 months later by a product from the same company.

I think it would be better they delayed a few months and released it with the screen, quad core, and microSD, it would definitely blow the iPad2 out of the water and iPad3 isn't due until 2013 so they would have a couple of years grace and time up their sleeves to blow the iPad3 away as well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SR45:
"If they wait and release an updated Tab later this year they will be annoying the crap out of a lot of people."

Go ahead and annoy. I like it. :eek: :D

I just downloaded CM7 from Technomancer and was about to flash it using heimdall when I got stuck at which file is the primary and which is the secondary bootloader. I am pretty sure that the two of them are boot.bin and sbl.bin, but I don't know which is which. Please provide some wisdom about this, or if it even matters at all in what order I put these two files.

So here's my problem.. I've got an aux port in my personal car which works great for my commute to and from work but once I'm in my work car I lose that ability..

I've purchased a cheap FM transmitter from ebay but there's a lot of static.. anyone have a suggestion for a good transmitter that's not ridiculously priced?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] raoufosman:
I have a belken one that doesn't have that much static. You can go to belken website and they give you suggestions on which stations are the best to use in your area.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] chepo84126:
There are also those bluetooth trasnmiter that work really well.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ready5:
FM

Best bang for your buck is a device that uses bluetooth to grab the music and then has an FM transmitter in it... like the blackberry VM-605 .. that way you can use it in your house too.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Powell730:
would my radio need to be bluetooth ready for this to work?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] eraursls1984:
yep, which is almost pointless (for this topic) because aux ports are in a lot more head units than bluetooth
[Thunderbolt Accessories] contractkilla:
i was able to get away with a cheap one from walmart ~$20 and it worked great for me even used it on a trip that i was in the back and phone was 10-15 feet away from the antenna and i still had very little static.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ThunderStick:
Get a blackberry Bluetooth gateway. It plugs in to your aux port and connects to your device via Bluetooth. I use one with my stereo and used to use one in the car until I upgraded the car to a Bluetooth ready system. It will connect to any Bluetooth device that supports a2dp.

Sent from my thunderstick
[Thunderbolt Accessories] schollianmj:
yea, but if his company car dont have an AUX port, I seriously doubt that it would have bluetooth...

I went to Wal-Mart and in the Ipod/headphones section found a good FM transmitter by Griffin. It plugs into the cig port for power and then plugs into your phones Headphone jack. a little time playing with different stations and you can find one that works real good and is nice and clear.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Powell730:
This.. I'll just have to stick with

an fm transmitter unfortunately.. They just don't produce the quality I'd like but oh well
[Thunderbolt Accessories] aznhybriddragon:
I was actually thinking of buying this for myself, according to reviews it seem great

GOgroove Flexsmart X2 Advanced Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Charging, Music Control and Hands-Free Calling Capability for Android, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Smartphones

I cant add the amazon link sadly since I dont have enough posts, but google

GOgroove Flexsmart X2 and you will find it.

this should be exactly what your looking for, its still a fm transmitter but besides bluetooth or aux you have no choice but to use fm transmitter, the reviews on that looks great (saw on amazon)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Zinsko:
The best ones to get are the ones from crap storeslike big lots and etc. The cheaper the better for some reason. You have to remember that truck bridges and heavy metal objects will obstruct it. I personal have an M gear. For it from big lots for $4.99. But in the end they all suck.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Deltaechoe:
I picked up a motorola roadster for a steal at a verizon store, was about 50 bucks there (they kind of screwed up a lot and tried to charge me about 300 dollars more on one bill, raised hell got credits for accesories) and the thing actually works pretty well. There are a few minor issues with it, but those are easily solved and the sound quality is actually surprisingly good over FM.

Now there is the problem with degradation of sound when broadcasted over bluetooth, then over FM, but unless you are an audiophile and have high end speakers in your car (and i'm assuming you aren't because you were asking for an fm transmitter) then I doubt you could really tell the difference.

Another handy dandy feature of this device is that it searches for OPEN fm channels so you aren't manually tuning one frequency by one and instead looking for a frequency you can actually break through.

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Road...7KOK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308640277&sr=8-1

The only problems I have with this unit is sometimes the BT disconnects for a second or so then it reconnects, but that only happens like once a week. Also sometimes coming out of sleep mode it won't kick on the FM transmitter. This is fixed by unplugging, turning off, waiting a few seconds then turning the device back on again. Other than that, this would seem to be the perfect solution to your problem.

I have also heard great things about the GOGroove Flexsmart X2, but have not tried it out so I cannot give an honest review of it.

Heres the link for that one: http://www.amazon.com/Transmitter-H...erry-Smartphones/dp/B003PPGOC0/ref=pd_sim_e_3
[Thunderbolt Accessories] pvgomer:
I tried the flexgroove it worked great with Bluetooth for the exception of no bass output. Speaking on it was not great but that's just my cars power outlet location making it to far for people to hear me. My brother got a jensen kit from amazon with steering wheel controls and separate lcd to see songs,calls and phone book that one worked great the Mic was external.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Mr_Joshua:
Cassette Option?

If your work car has a cassette tape, the best solution I have found is this:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Car-iPo...sette-Adapters/abcat0307013.c?id=abcat0307013

I don't remember which one I bought, but I got it at Wal-Mart a few years ago and it works perfect. You don't have to worry about traveling through areas where the FM stations change, and you don't lose any quality by transmitting over the FM signal.
