[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Dude sorry to say but its a fake 1 as you can see the pics. The first one clearly shows that the button row is way up then where it should be, second one shows that in the back cover there are no small designed dots and the back cover seems to be black and not blue, and lastly the biggest proof is that the box is of galaxy s LCD version (i9003) and not galaxy s i9000 also that box is also fake as nor i9000(16gb) and nor i9003(4gb) had 8 gb internal memory also this box is designed to look like i9003's box but is written i9000!

What only $160?You are lucky man.My dad bought me sony vaio laptop from bangkok for $1567.After two months it got damaged,and when i took it to service center they told me that it is fake and it was running some processor made by VIA
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Also srryy I didn't notice the biggest thing the user interface its clearly not android and tw. Its surely a cheap copy and also u told us it costed u 160$(u didn't specify of which country) ! So if we assume it is US 160$then according to my country's currency it is 7200rs whereas I bought mine for 22000rs (Indian)!

No see the first pic. The UI is surely not of Samsung nor of android!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
But have to say that the back cover is a gr8 copy of the original 1 !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiderrr:
Man mountain will not fall down if he can tell us wether in setting menu some os related info is showing or not.And android oprating system UI can be customized in different way.So by looking at the interface we cannot really tell wether its running android or not?

Currently I'm in Thailand. The knockoff costs around $100-$160, and it's clearly stated as a knock off. eg. pantipmarket.com/items/11447618

the real Galaxy S costs over $400. I'd guess this is a misunderstanding rather than a cheating.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiderrr:
Which OS these phone runs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Knock off means a cheap copy and I don't think they can put android in such cheap copies and also they can change the ui!

Havent you seen newly launched karbon A1 mobile running froyo and costing around 6K????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Ya I live in India only and that company is Indian I know that but that requires a small deal as android is free for anyone to use and develop but it requires a contract with google to sell devices running android!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiderrr:
We dont need contract fron google,the only thing that we need is hardware purchased from open handset alliance to sell android phone legally.If you want to sell phone illegaly(most small chinese compony do),then get hardware and its datasheet,port android in it and start selling.Market is flooded with chinese phone and tablet running android costing less than 8K.If u get time visit nehru place in new delhi and u will understand what iam trying to say
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Ur an Indian? And maybe your right as once I opened the licensce in my sgs and it stated that any type of copying is permitted under some conditions and then their was a long list so I thought sooner type of contract should also be implied but thanxx for informing! And is android totally free? And where can someone get android software? I don't think its on their site!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiderrr:
Search in google for android souce code.You will also get lots of tutorial that teaches u to make custom rom from scratch using android souce code

OK Guys it is a fake, thanks for your input. It is running Mediatek when it boots, the software is crap. I cant go into settings cause its not there, a very frustrating interface. I was going to say why do they make this junk, but it's because people keep buying it. My friend actually bought this but it was easier to say I bought it. I will ask him if it was from the mall you said.

actually the galaxy s i9000 does have an 8Gb variant. but yes, the original poster has bought a fake product.

No it must be galaxy s plus which is whole lot different in every country!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostygenius:
Nope. I have one. Its the international i9000 with 8gb of memory. And no, mine's not a fake :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Which country are you from because some countries have different options like a LCD in i9000 and some different memory but these are exceptions and they do not change versions! For ex I an from India and the nexus s here sports a lcd instead of super amoled because of shortage!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 70challenger:
It is from MBK, stay away from that place or go there and complain.

This is a really bad phone for anyone looking for an Android/HTC phone.

It's slow, imposs to root and has such a small screen.

AVOID.

PS, get yourself a HTC Desire S, beast of a phone.

its not bad phone.. just old phone ..
[Legend General] qbert456:
I'm back using mine after using a chacha for a couple of months, fancied a change!

Nice to be using proper custom Rom again too :-)

Sure it's a bit slow but its well made, probably last longer than the chacha.
[Legend General] Mavamaarten:
Bad troll is obvious.

I'm using the phone for over a year now, and I absolutely love it. It's fast (oc'd), works great and the battery life is fine (3 days normal use). What a little under- and overclocking can do to a phone !
[Legend General] alvinsiu:
Both legend's cpu, gpu are too slow for me even cpu is overclocked

And not enough ram is also a big problem

Launcher is killed after web browsing or playing games

Waiting for the Nexus Prime, and dont want to get a slow phone again.....
[Legend General] sfara:
I find the legend to be a great phone. Not the fastest phone but it gets the job done in a small metallic package. I'm afraid we will not see to many 3.2 inch phones in the future...the trend is really big displays now. I guess i'll just have to settle with 3.7 inch.
[Legend General] Markus700:
Guys, this Phone is 1,5 years old. It´s just outdated.

Although, Htc built it for Design Users, not for Power Users. Legend has one of the best looking case of all phones.

Just changed to HTC sensation, which also has a unibody frame, last week.
[Legend General] no0neX:
Bad troll is bad. Seriously.. ?
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Sirius.

I love my Legend, It's better than my wifes Wildfire and more stylish than the other phones. Best of all, it's mine and I can do what I want too it and it does what I require just as well as my friends Desire HD or sensation, the difference is theirs is a bit quicker ;)

HTC need to come out with the Legend S in a few months, I think it should have these specs: 4.3"/4.5" screen, 2Ghz quad core, 1Gb Ram, 32Gb on board with SD slot for more, along with the usual wifi/BT/Radio etc :D

That'll make it a Legendary phone :cool:
[Legend General] akashj17:
I hope too!!
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Darn you all :(

Problem with being in Canada is that it's one of the most expensive countries for a cell phone plan in the world. We don't have 2-year contracts, our max is 3. And if you try to land on a 1- or 2-year committment, it wouldn't be as economically wise as to buy it outright, which I did, but regret.

Wildfire S here is $250, Galaxy Gio is $70, Legend was bought for $400. Oh noes. So that means I'll be lugging this device here for another year after you all move on (it's no-contract, but it's the prime time where I actually earn enough cash to actually spend it on another mobile device).

Unless, you know, I win the lottery.
[Legend General] lexen_:
I disagree. Legend is a great phone.

Do not think rooting a Legend is hard challenge. The custom ROMs are also very good.

Not to mention the design - the aluminium block is one of the best smartphone exterior I have ever seen!

And the display size - it's not the biggest in the smartphone portfolio, but it's still pocket size, which I think is great. After all, I want phone, not tablet for my jeans..
[Legend General] ranger4740:
I've had my Legend for 10 months now, Best ruddy phone I've ever owned, I've owned about 12-13 phones over the past 10 years, this one is the best, "for me". It may not be the fastest phone, it may not have the most memory, it may not have the biggest screen, it doesn't have a dual core, but thats fine by me.

When I got my phone, I really loved HTC sense, Eclair and Froyo, which I loved even more, how ever, now that I have rooted my phone and seen what's out there in the way of alternative roms, I must now admit, the stock HTC with sense rom really lets this phone down, hell, Blay0's rooted version of Froyo is awesome.

My opinion is at the end of the day, the hardware is great and it really all comes down to the ROM, and the stock HTC is a bit of a fail....

Oh BTW, the physical size of the Legend is also a winner for me, my wife has a desire HD, ruddy thing doesn't even fit in my hand comfortabily!
[Legend General] M_a_x86:
I have my Legend over a year and its (except a small screen) the realy legend! its survived a lot of thig, with a two scratches only on the body.

now i have HD2, and now take care to not fall even with two feet :S
[Legend General] Ch4lky:
Legend isn't bad, it's just an old mid-range phone ...
[Legend General] VicDeo:
it has everything I need for my daily activities in addition to handy size.

I don't need anything better for now.
[Legend General] stent00:
Just dropped it today on my outside steps. Dinged the case, but all is good. Decent phone. I.have a sensation now and use.the legend as backup. I had the whole thing apart to replace the digitizer. Separating amoled screen was a *****. Buy the whole assembly! Words of advice...
[Legend General] Meocene:
love my rooted legend.

CM7.1 - ADW + launcher pro = silky smooth.

depends what you want from a smart phone really.
[Legend General] and313:
Why we dont just delete this thread. I mean telling us who like our devices that it looks or works bad is kind of pointless. Thats like saying my girlfriend is better because she can jump over the fence faster
[Legend General] tosta_people:
Legend FTW!!!
[Legend General] olyloh6696:
IMO, Desire S is the successor to the Legend

Than the Sensation is the successor to the original Desire.

[Legend General] qwabba:
:) please do not complain - in Russia the Wildfire S started from 400$ (now 300$), Legend was 600$. I bought mine 1,2 year ago for 430$. Rooted without problems, CM7.1 installed for now. I like this pnone. Fine speed, good look, excellent functionality.

If you would have greater processor speed next wish woud be bigger display :) I mean that the screen size and the processor speed have a link. But Legend is pretty good ballanced. If somebody do not like it - he just need another phone.
[Legend General] JoniKickAHoleInTheSky:
Best Starter phone at the time

The CPU being 600MHz is enough to do most tasks. Sure it's not instant but really? Is it that important day-to-day to have immediate gratification?

The MAIN problem with this phone, as I have one and am replacing it with the Galaxy Nexus, is the memory.

384MB, which HTS sense + 2.2, leaves you with almost nothing.

As the apps get larger and larger from each update, I am finding that I have to uninstall apps.

APPS2SD doesn't upgrade on my device any longer, where I'm left moving to the phone then update, then back to SD...

Either way, the unique shell being aluminum and a AMOLED screen make the phone worthwhile
[Legend General] olyloh6696:
Thought It's 600mhz?

[Legend General] JoniKickAHoleInTheSky:
Yeah, sorry. 600 it is. I gave it more credit than deserved I guess.
[Legend General] red_rebel:
Hi,

Owning the phone almost for 1,9 years I still like it. I was making a choice between Hero and Legend - and decides to go with modern hw and sw back then. CM7 made the life of my phone happier. Today it is a little bit outdated, but still very capable.
[Legend General] cheiron29:
I like my Legend, espacially with CM7 on it.
[Legend General] lilybush:
One of my friends uses this cellphone, frankly, the screen is a little bit small, but i don't know his using experience.. i just know that it is out of date now!!!!
[Legend General] and313:
Wow you realy shared something with a community here.
[Legend General] motyrahamim:
yea not a great phone.
[Legend General] Legend_Legacy:
My story with the Legend is a bit strange, bought one when it first came out and just couldn't get to terms with the OS (Eclair) at the time, having used Nokias almost exclusively till that point. I actually sold it after less than a month and got an N97mini :eek: Fast forward to nearly 2 years later and I've just got one again.. the Phantom Black version :cool: this time and after rooting and installing a custom rom (ogo2s RC4b, which is excellent btw), I'm reminded why I loved this phone. It was never intended to be a flagship for performance or top end tech specs IMO, it's strength was always the unique design, materials and build. Also I'm one of those folks who values portability (or pocket-ability) in a phone, so the smaller screen and overall scaled-down dimensions appeal to me now, all the more, in a world where 4.5"+ screens are ubiquitous.

So yes, in summary.. HTC Legend = GOOD :)
[Legend General] rsamanya:
Some like it big, some like it small. I like it small. It feels more like a traditional handphone. 600MHz is indeed on the low side, and the available RAM is very limiting, but it all depends how you use it.

And life definitely gets better once we root our Legends. B-)
[Legend General] and313:
Smoothly better :)
[Legend General] :
Legend is a sick phone! Yes its not up to date, but the build is amazing! Yes I would get a desire s over it, but look at the age difference, and its far better than lets say a wildfire s or galaxy mini.

P.s. this thread is useless, you may aswell go to every phone in each device section and say a different phone is better, thanks for stating the obvious.

I just saw someone talk about 4.5+ inch screens, and yes I think the Legend is what is is a Legend. And I'm saying that from my 4.65" Galaxy Nexus
[Legend General] zeubea:
Pros:

- design, the best design ever, unibody and good materials,

- AMOLED screen, live colors, screen is better than LCD 3,2,

- cpu overclockeable easily up to 800MHz.,

- flash,

- small size,

Cons:

- mechanical buttons, EPIC FAIL,

- because aluminium unibody case, wifi signal is not so strenght as hero or aria. So, wireless chipset (wl127x) is weird, being the only phone having got it (bad for porting/developing new roms ...)

In spite of Legend is an outdated phone, I find only 2 serious drawbacks, specially lacking touch sensitive controls. Anyway, Legend is a good phone, still.
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Eh, I don't like capacitive buttons that much. I've used them on a daily phone I had for two weeks, presented a ton of problems.

Not my thing :P

Although I guess if this is the direction phones are headed, might as well cope.
[Legend General] ranger4740:
IMO I'd rather have mechanical buttons just like my old dumb phones, so, this is a personal preference rather than IMHO an epic fail.

sent from my legend, currently using extream legend fuse™
[Legend General] Doggsbody:
I went from Legend to Razr and I much prefer the mechanical buttons of the Legend.

I love both phones, but there is just something special about the lil' ol' Legend.

I agree with previous comment on pros and cons exactly.

Signal strength, ram and battery life could have been better, else perfect for my needs.
[Legend General] Earayil:
The legend is a great phone and it is not that difficult to root the legend...

just need to know how to do it..
[Legend General] olyloh6696:
I reckon that the One V is the true successor
[Legend General] ranger4740:
Just had a look at the one V and I agree it's definitely the closest successor to our lovely little legend. It even has the same shape case no track ball though but I don't think its a huge loss and on the plus side it DOES have a micro SD slot. :D :thumbup:

[Legend General] aveenhuysen:
.

Nice phone and enjoyed it a lot when I had it, but when I changed to the LG P970 Optimus Black with 4 inch screen. It would not even come up in me to go back to my Legend. :)
[Legend General] Earayil:
It is a good phone. But the touch seems to stop working properly after 1ad1/2 years. I know two others who had the same problem.

But still loved it when it worked properly.
[Legend General] wipeout_uk:
I like the mechanical buttons... one nice thing about the Legend is it having a "menu" key - always in the same place, even in ICS.
[Legend General] Traniz:
My precious icon, my Legend.

This.

Part from the fact that my Menu button is slightly soft (almost like it's lost a pin that holds it's left side).

I've had it since... well almost 2 years as well and while it's slow and all that it's a great phone and even though I've had it on S-ON all this time I've installed and edited various ROMs and currently running CM7, but will install Blay0's awesome Sense ROM when I get my HTC One X.

Don't know if I will sell my Legend or let it collect dust.

If I decide to let it collect dust, it'll really become a legend since it was my first phone since Nokia 6500-S and first Android phone as well.

Don't hate the Legend, it hates you for giving up.

It's like a tsundere girl, hard to please and hard to manage but damn attached to you and vise versa.

sure, there are phone better then the legend

but it's a small comfortable phone for basic users..

and his build is great, two years and not even one repair... and it fall a couple of times.
[Legend General] Earayil:
I used it for 1 1/2 years. The build is solid did take many falls. But my touch became unresponsive.
[Legend General] JohanArie:
Still using it for almost 2 years now, not a single problem. Rooted with with fuse 2 , runs fluently. Next phone will definitely be a HTC again.

Legend is not the bad phone at the time of release

I bought it on July 2010.

At that time in india legend is the only phone running Android 2.1.

Desire not released in india.

Hero not updated.

Nexus one not at all released.

I have choice between Nokia E52 and Legend.

I am one of the big Nokia E-Series Fan.

I need sturdy build quality.

One day i ready to go and buy E52 due to change of my mind I need to wait for another month.

Finally in July 2010 legend is in my hand.

Such a beautiful phone.

Now I search for sturdy build quality phone with good specifications.

Still i am searching...........
