SGS 3 VS iphone 5

Can't wait to see the winner...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DeadSOL:
Are you kidding me? It's going to be the SGS 3. I'll bet that the SGS2 is better, in a lot of aspects, than the iPhone 5.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrSimtang:
Depends on how you determine the winner.

From a tech standpoint: probably the SGS3.

From a sales standpoint: iP5 easily

What Samsung/Apple would care about: the sales

Samsung Support

Samsung customer support is the worse ever ! specially compared to HTC

my friend's HTC desire which is older than my SGS 1 is getting ICS update !

This will affect my judgment in the future , it's not all about the device hardware .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0iceshadow0:
this is bul**** no ics for galaxy s, even the stupid sony arc get ics, samsung sux...

galaxy s 3 here i come :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] harraj:
It would have been awsome if there was an official kernel available for the developers to work upon for galaxy s instead of reverse engineering a nexus s kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
That's just not true m8.

Htc Desire definitely won't get ICS. It hardly got 2.3.3 while s1 is running 2.3.6 officially.

Don't get me wrong - I'm also pissed not to get official ICS but don't spread rumours here m8.

Samsungs update policy is bad yeah but HTCs is worse.

Can anyone of you please tell that

what are the things that SGS can't do right now with 2.3.6 on it and it will start doing those things after installing official ICS from samsung?

just wanted to know, what am i missing right now?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jaazish:
It seems that getting ROMs from the community, not based on the stock version, made us a great favor.

ICS is far better than any GB rom I've ever tried, especially in terms of stability and speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] superalphajellybean:
its to bad we didnt get ics from samsung but im sure im not the only person who flashed a ics rom ...check out dark knight rom and devil kernel for your galaxy s its what im using atm

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

it really depends on what ics rom and kernel you use.there can be big differences between roms like speed,ram,face unlock etc.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] 3lackhawk:
I think it is normal that a device manufacturer is not prepared ICS by a relatively old device.The other hand we should be happy because many developer working hard for us and make better and better ROM day by day :) I think everybody can choose a good rom for her/his individual needs.ICS is only one among the many choices next to GB or MIUI and other custom roms...... You should try them all and then decide :cool:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] krooooolik:
My experience with ICS (Anarkia AOKP) after moving from GB DarkyROM:

1. faster

2. smoothier

3. well organized settings menu for ICS comparing to GB/Froyo

4. better RAM handling I think

5. built-in data usage meter

6. wifi-direct (haven't tested yet!)

7. better support, more updates, as most of devs works on ICS based roms this days:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arvinder:
I am planning to install custom ROM. But still in need lot of reading and understanding because last time i tried, my phone stopped working. I have i9000m not i9000. i didn't knew the difference and had hard time (with my level of experience) recovering my phone.

Secondly, after that mishap, i need to gather courage to try again.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DVJ-Mishka:
It does work but it still has some issues to be fixed and some that won't be fixed (according to the CM9>SGS thread), at least not soon anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] apranus:
why SGS won't get Official ICS? Even it has worth spec. Because SGS is categorized as "old" Samsung product.

If SGS get Official ICS, other newer samsung product such as Nexus S which has almost same spec with SGS won't be salable. The people will prefer SGS rather than Nexus S because it is more cheaper.

Got it??

Sorry for my poor english
[Galaxy S I9000 General] telep:
Because they are lazy, you have new phones like desire c (600mhz cpu) running official ICS, with Sense on top of that.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mikamellie:
I have to agree that this ROM is great. I've had my share of ROMs on my i9000 and this is one of the best I've had, if not the best.

With other ROMs I always had stability issues, apps not working, camera issues (distortion, front facing camera not working), battery drain, ... which made me go back to a stock Samsung rom.

But up until now I haven't noticed any problems or bugs with this ROM. It's mighty fast, stable and worked perfectly from the first time. The tutorial included in the OP is also very helpful and easy to follow.

So search no further and install this rom already! ;)

The DEV threads are mostly related to bug reports. It's normal to see issues reported - after all even Samsung roms contain bugs. For most users things are fine in ICS roms. Make the leap of faith and try - if you take all precautions little can go wrong.

Personally I use CM9 and it does the trick for my needs.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TigerCourage:
The current TouchWiz 4 will leave Galaxy S with very little amount of RAM. I made a custom firmware with almost all TouchWiz 4 features from Galaxy SII and leaves the phone with some 69 - 80MB of free RAM. Even after adding a lot of tweaks I wasn't able to reduce RAM usage so I came to the conclusion that Galaxy S can't handle TouchWiz 4 because it's very badly optimized and eats up all your RAM (runs very smooth though). So unless they will make an optimized or "Lite" version of TouchWiz 4 (like they did on Bada 2.0) we won't be able to run both TouchWiz 4 and Ice Cream Sandwich on our devices...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pxrave:

From some sites I read, most manufacturers are only updating the phones they released in 2011. LG are updating for example the Optimus 2X and Optimus Black but they don't appear to be updating Optimus Q or S from 2010.

Sony Ericcson have a similar strategy with the same website showing updates for 2011 handsets, no mention about 2010. HTC Meanwhil will be updating the Sensation but apparently not the Desire HD.

Therefore, you get the theme, manufacturers are not updating legacy equipment.

Im sorry guys, but the Galaxy is an old phone. Aside from bug fixes, I don't see why we should expect any new additional functionality from the latest and greatest OS for free. Providing a value pack is good of them.

And it wouldn't be a case of merely throwing the new kernel at the phone from the ICS branch. We forget they are a multinational. Drivers have to be checked, tested, written, software updated for all the devices. this could potentially introduce more bugs into what is currently a well working and stable phone.

There has to be a cut off point.

Im not going to cry, Im not going to complain. My Galaxy S is such a nice phone, I don't see the need to upgrade to Galaxy SII, or to have Ice Cream Sanwich and provide more features I didn't pay for. Im waiting for the SIII :-)
