[Galaxy S I9000 General] haki.gr:
Guyz, I'm attaching two photos that make me think that the European i9001 doesn't support only WCDMA 900/1900/2100 as per its specs, but more WCDMA bands. I need to know this because I'll be using it in North America and I would like to have full 3G compatibility, particularly in Canada, with networks that use both 850 and 1900 MHz for their 3G networks.

Can anyone confirm whether my assumption that it can operate both at WCDMA 850 and 1900 is correct?

By the way, I bought a white one in Greece since they have it on sale at 279 euros, sim-free, fully unlocked and non-branded!

sgs plus screen circle

hey guys, i just got my sgs+ out of the box and, lo and behold, i have a screen defect: one of those circles you can only see in mid gray tones and with some backgrounds. So far, ive only found owners of sgsII to have the problem, but i can confirm that it is happening with the plus aswell.

Unless a solution has been found (e.g. it goes away over time), im going to send it back.

I made a quick vid of the problem:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrs421:
Something weird is going on with my phone. I'm currently running rooted stock and every now and then my OSD notifications become delayed by several minutes. An example of this is the volume control. When I press it nothing shows on the screen, the volume changes but the OSD doesn't appear. 5 minutes or so later it does. The same goes for text messages, etc. Restarting fixes it. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
I hate to say it but I think you are in need of a factory reset. If that is a little too much to swallow try removing some *shady* looking apps that may be causing bad things to happen.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpolak83:
Hi,

I got Desire for my friend (not working). Its stuck at HTC logo.

I have tried running RUU and its install fine (goes through the whole process). But the phone is still stuck on bootscreen. The phone is S-ON i have tried PG99IM method.

Is there anything I can do to bring that phone to life? Isn't this weird that I can succesfully run RUU but the phone is still dead?

Do you think it might be hardware related? If yes.. which part I would need to change? I work in electronics industry so I might be able to replace some electronics.

Thank a lot guys

Marcin
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If it doesn't boot after an RUU, I would expect it to be hardware, either Motherboard or NAND, both will require swapping the motherboard.

So, I'll be attending the wedding of my gf's sister this weekend. Unfortunately, their grandmother (close to 90 I think) lives on the other side of the states and can't come due to illness and immobility. So, we just came up with a plan. Google talk the wedding and let her watch on the other side.

I got front row seat because I've been put in charge of the video-ing.

This is an example of how technology has truly made life better for all of us.

Last xmas, I was able to instruct my relatives in Vietnam to hook up skype and for the first time ever all my family here and in Vietnam were able to celebrate the holidays together. My parents have a 70-some inch tv, so skyping with the family on the other side of the planet was awesome.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baritoneguy:
I have a Samsung focus dev unlocked on Mango RTM. I have just received an SD card that is purported to work with this phone.

My question is, If I do a hard reset on the phone will it still be dev unlocked? I also have a couple of custom registry settings to enable MMS.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeBond:
A total reset will remove the device unlock (everything gone from the phone), but given that you have an AppHub account, you can remove it from the list there and re-register again.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baritoneguy:
Thanks I was afraid of that. I have an unlocked focus on Mango RTM and just received an SD card for it.

Going to be a bit of work to get it sorted the way I want I suspect.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeBond:
As I said - if you have a developer account, it is not going to be a problem at all. Remember, however, since you are trying to remove the original SD card, that you might encounter problems other than losing the unlock. Specifically, there might be serious performance lags (for non-optimized SD cards).

[Motorola Droid Bionic] mrhunter602:
Just wondering what kind of deals people have seen on the Bionic. It almost seems like 3rd parties werent really pushing this phone. I know Costco had an ad with some accessories, but I also saw in the ad that it might not be on opening day.

Has anyone else seen anything worthwhile?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] j0kawild:
unfortunately nothing special as of yet. i have heard that you can do the $100 off trade-in deal if you are upgrading from a non-smart phone. other then that just accessories.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lofuge:
I got the 100 off for using a non smart phone upgrade then 50 off the new every two rebate. See what happens.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Superguy:
Phone Arena's reporting Costco's doing $280 + a nice accessories bundle.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mrpickem:
I was in Costco today. They said they would have 8 tomorrow at this store. He wouldn't say the price but claimed it came with $170 worth of accessories including a dock. He did say they would be cheaper than the Verizon stores.

I am seriously considering this phone instead of my Droid Charge.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mrhunter602:
Im getting rid of my Charge for this phone. I just cant take the battery drain any more.

I wonder if Amazon or anyone else will be running big specials.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mrpickem:
Probably be some deals within a couple weeks, but I doubt it this week.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jayneo8:
I just logged into my verizon and the upgrade price they have for me is $249. I totally expected $299.

I got this price by logging into the main phone account on a family plan and attempting to upgrade a secondary line.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] larsdennert:
$249 at amazonwireless
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ystasino:
$50 for NE2, $30 off as loyalty bonus, free o/n shipping.

So one major gripe most reviewers had has been reduced. At $219, unlimited data and rooting it seems like a better deal, somewhat worthy of the delay.

I guess all new smartphones would receive such discount, but by most accounts the bionic is a capable phone and a significant jump from my D1.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pjosman:
Amazon had it for $199 as of a couple hours ago.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] enigmaisdead:
For new customers only, unfortunately. Upgrade is $249.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
wow didnt know verizon had it cheaper. was about to go to BJ's to buy it as I usually do, since the price for the phone is generally the same and they have better deals on the accessories. Thanks for saving me the money.

EDIT: just went to VZW and it only wants to give me a price of $289 with no loyalty bonus. I am part of a family plan but that shouldnt matter. I have been eligible since july for upgrade. amazonwireless says its backordered.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] vgjunkie:
Checked this morning and:

Wirefly.com was $249

Amazon.com was $199 ( backordered)

Letstalk.com was $199

I'm hoping BJs/Costco will drop the price to $199 and waive the activation fee for me :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
Walmart.com also has it for $199. stores don't have them yet. Just checked. Don't want to wait though. Plus I'm always paranoid about a 3rd party seller screwing up my plan and charging me extra. Especially my unlimited plan.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mrpickem:
$269 in store plus $100 trade-in credit for old phone when adding a line.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kyledoo:
Can anyone confirm the $249 price with verizon for upgrading a current line?

I am secondary on a family plan, and my upgrade isn't until 9/13, but the extra $50 off makes the deal a little easier to swallow. As far as loyalty, we have been good customers for at least 5 years, not sure how they do their calculations as to who is "loyal"
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
I am also secondary on a family plan and the best I got was $289. Just got mine a little while ago. Been with verizon for 8 years, but only 2 have been on the family plan I am now. Guess they dont count the other time before that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jayneo8:
My mistake, this price was listed on my verizon for me because I had a $50 phone credit that I was unaware of. When I asked the verizon rep he said that all family plans are credited this $50 every 20 months.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] H3Dude:
I went in to the store today and got the Bionic for $289 without an upgrade and almost 50% off some accessories. Got the phone $589, a extended battery and door $49.99, case and holster $29.99, HDMI dock $99.99, and screen protectors $12.99 plus 24.43 tax and out the door for $431.63. Saved $375.75

Hi all. My wife is reporting 3 problems on the standard rom of her i9001. Any help on how to solve this is appreciated.

1. After a call the screen can not be switched on to disconnect a call. What happens is that as soon as she switches the screen on it goes off again. And this happens repeatedly.

2. Sometimes a sms will report that sending failed, but immediately afterwards a delivery report comes for that sms. The sms is never delivered though, because it failed sending. It is impossible to know this though, because the sms details shows it as delivered.

3. Setting a custom ringtone works, but the ringtone only works for some people, though.

The phone is on the newest official software.

Battery life depends on many things even in standby mode it will be affected by Wifi, and 3G reception ....

First thing is if your Galaxy is new it will take a week or so until your battery will hold a full charge if you think that the battery is being drained too quickly then check the battery stats in the info submenu of settings.

For even more details or troubleshooting I'd recommend an app called better battery stats which you can get here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 that will allow you to more easily check for misbehaving apps that may be draining the battery.

But at the end of the day if you use your phone a lot then you'll end up charging it every night at least...
