[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
Touchwiz is not a memory hog, it takes up less RAM than a regular ICS launcher. With each version of Android being released, starting with 2.2 with JIT and optimization, newer versions reduce hardware requirement hence an inappropriate excuse for not updating our phone.

We actually want ICS's native improvements, not stupid "value packs" to mentally satisfy heavy demanders [doesn't sound too interesting either] and probably makes nothing faster nor port any useful features of ICS. A lot of users here want the core to be ICS

I'm still wondering why in the hhell is my evo3d stuck on 2.3.4! It seems like the evo generation gets ALL the updates LAST! How can a crappy Samsung PREVAIL get 2.3.5 update over MY 3D & OG EVO! That pisses me off

Stupid samsung. I already deleting all of your your stupid "values" I don't want new stupid bloatware. Give us ics *****. ICS ram management, gl performance imporivements, html5, javascript imporivements we need all!

AND WE WILL NEED TO ICS FOR PLAYING WITH NEW APPS. They wont work on gingerbread.. Brainless samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Funnnny:
What new apps ? What with all that hate ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
My galaxy S was and is an awesome phone, but samsung wont update it to ICS. Doesnt matter, I already use onecosmics ICS and gonna use CM9, I dont care about it.

They have great hardware, but crappy support, sad but true.

Thats why I already considered to get iPhone5 when it will release. Will take a closer Look at samsungs support behaviour, if they will update their latest phones...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] menomenic:
No update for sgs or tab just a value pack

No Update for galaxy s or the tab.

Samsung is putting together a value pack.

This pack uses apps from the ics so users have a taste of the ics version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cspiby:
Fact of the matter is all these people saying they will never buy a samsung phone again, people will buy the best phone available to them at the time regardless of brand. If the specs on a samsung phone trump the competition it will always be my choice regardless of the line they have gone down with the SGS.

There's no point bearing grudges against them, a few hundred people not buying their products will make absolutely zero difference in the grand scheme of things, but if it makes you feel better then good for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ArctiX:
Wth is happening here, really.

Read the update guys, we are gonna have the ICS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Funnnny:
Crappy support ? we have 2.3.6 for a while now, which is the lastest until ICS.

They don't go for ICS because the phone is unable to run TouchWiz ICS, a vallina ICS is an acceptable choice for us, but not for all SGS user, they don't want to replace their whole ROM with a completely different experience.

Learn how the bussiness run please.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
Yet another useless flame about the icecream sandwich....

From... psychiatric point of view, it would be interesting: spending days and weeks on crying and complaining rather than on installation of unofficial ICS from next thread...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wGRV:
Most of the people buy because of mouth publicity regardless of brand and specifications. If they go by specs they defenetly do some research for the best available phone with best available hardware, but this was condition 2 years ago, now people look for features, updates and performance; whereas Brand image and brand loyalty becomes equally important from sellers point of veiw. If Samsung isn't being loyal with their old 30 million Galaxy S customers, how much attention they are going to seek only through advertisements??;)

If Samsung won't announce ICS update for galaxy s ! I will just throw off all samsung electronics gadgets out of my house ! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaXmax:
This is all of u needed... But i hate touchwiz, it looks ugly on ics...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
They think they could "some how" rise the API level of Gingerbread from 10 to 14
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cspiby:
Interesting, that does make more sense than Gingerbread with ICS apps.

The article updated since I saw it yesterday.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] imnotapimp:
Go for it!

No one here will shed a tear...

CM9 ftw!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Padillla:
The Stripped ICS sounds too good to be true, but if it is ICS... It can give a good base for future ROMs, I used to like TV out and original samsung stuff, except TW.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Snuble:
So the latest is ICS but with a custom lightweight TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bralgei:
Googol. I can hardly wait. I have tested allready Onecosmic RC1. ICS is amaizing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LaZpanyoL:
we are waiting :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
So what remains back? Framework + Apps + API and edit build prop to release ics?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trollkarlen1:
We can only hope that Samsung will make some good will and support the CM9 with the required updated binaries to support ICS properly.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] spamtrash:
Sorry to disappoint you, but most likely this is just schizophrenia syndrome.

1. most SGS users doesn't noticed even which version of OS they have;

2. from those, who noticed, majority uses KIES updates only

3. tiny, tiny fraction, who for example went here or on similar forums, are able to get ICS already, for example onecosmic build.

Finally, there is residual grumbler group who: was able to go here, but unable to do something else than *****ing.

I would be very careful with naming this lump pack as pressure group or something what Samsung may hate... or even notice. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
You are wrong sir. 100%

Most users, if not all, buy based on word of mouth. It's an extremely long chain that eventually leads back to here or to people knowledgeable with phones. I recommended this phone to 8 people, who got them, then in turn they probably recommended as well.

So, yes, they may only update via kies, but their next phones will be obtained thru the same word of mouth channel, only this time, my recommendation will not be Samsung.

Think about it. Have you ever bought a phone blind based on what the carrier tells you? No, you ask others users about their experience.

next time i probaly get a nexus ;p no waithing for updates ;p

[Galaxy S I9000 General] teox_:
we cannot stop! Samsung must update our devices!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pynex:
I'm sure we'll get ICS - either from Samsung or from the (great) community.

Of course it possible for Samsung to release a ICS for the "old" devices - but they don't earn money with it. I think i'll buy a phone from another manufacturer next time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thommcn:
After using ICS for over a week there is no going back to gingerbread even if it means that I've lost radio and a fully functioning camera.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vaira:
Forget it!

Without to have the proper 'closed source' parts compiled such as device drivers you never will get a fully working ICS.

It ever will be a patchwork not originally 4.x based.....an honestly no CM really is perfect yet.

Samsung's software develop section sux and ever will.

Their hardware is fine, anything else.....is crappy

Money counts...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
Sure which manufacturerd have had high end spec phones with as much updates and major firmware upgrades as the Galaxy S?

Really would like to know
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rvila1507:
I would really like to know wich brand upgrades all their older phones.

Sonyericson with the xperia series it´s a pain in the a** tu upgrade.

Lg just the same and so on and so on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lesiroth:
With the exception of their early 2010 phones, all of SE's phones are getting upgraded to ICS. Even though all their phones are single core and most of them are quite similar to the SGS in specs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paulie65:
Keep upgrading for at least 2 years

These phones, if you''ll use them right, can go on for several years. So why stop updating after 1 year? And why should you always need your own branded skin?

If the hardware is a bit older, but still strong enough for the newest OS, just give the users the choice if they want to upgrade and not use the Touchwiz skin.

I think Samsung should really take some time and read these forums, it making the Galaxy-series so popular.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
Why would they want to though? Invest more money and time in making a separate dev for the i9000. They would rather have you buying the Galaxy S III which will make it either 18months or 24months by the time that comes out and you're out of contract anyways.

Those who cry saying you won't buy a Samsung again, don't bother. Go to another OEM and see if they update their phones after 18~24months.

However it is ashame that they are not from a user's point of view. I have played around with a Nexus S with 4.0.3 and it is so smooth. Market, widgets, everything. Just shows Samsung's own Hummingbird was an awesome chip.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theos0o:
Which manufacturer has released (err, no, actually leaked ;)) updates with more bugs than Samsung?

I mean come on!

Their GB builds are terrible (wifi bug, phone fc, etc.).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rubysz:
You're talking about JVR, JVS, etc. ?

Weren't those leaked builds? ie - not officially released by samsung?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] O-T:
WiFi "bug": is NOT a bug in phone, but caused by badly setup router with infinite DHCP lease time.

Not sure about phone FC, but browser and UI lag was due to errors in apktool used for creating deodexed ROM (thanks _JKay_)

Thx for reading, press THANKS if u like
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theos0o:
Many countries have got 2.3.3 builds, which have the battery drain bug.

Also, some of the leaked builds (eg. JVT) have been released in some countries!

If you consider this proper support, I'm done! :p

Are you kidding?

Earlier builds have no problem at all and as long as other phones work absolutely fine on the same wifi network, guess whose fault it is. :)

Phone FC is ridiculous too.

Let alone the old eclair & froyo builds with RFS, which was insanely slow back then.

Our phone never got decent support by Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ENDRICKING:
SE X10 with lesser RAM and weak gpu, hardly to run smooth even got ICS update.

Agree with you, flagship phone not necessary to have a "must" update in future. all solely depends on the company and hardware spec. They can opt to save development cost to maintain margin/profit. But their repo drop.. haha... :p
[Kindle Fire Accessories] babbabooey97:
any tips or tricks to putting the screen protectors on without getting bubbles or dust and lint sticking to adhesive side of protector?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] bobbyricha:
If and when you place your screen protector and notice a finger print or lint, you can repair it. I use clear packing tape, cutting two strips about 1/2" wide. Place one on the top near (but not over) the area you are working with. This is used to lift the protector so you can get under it to where the problem is. Then slip the second strip under the protector, facing up or down depending if the problem it on the protector or the glass. I do it one way then the other for good measure. Once the tape is in place, lower the protector, press on the area, raise the protector, remove the piece of tape under the protector, then lower the protector to see if the blemish is gone.

Repeat where needed. Remove the piece of tape on the top by holding the protector beside the tape, and pulling the tape off the top.

This will remove fingerprints underneath the protector whether it is on the protector or the glass. It will also remove dust, fibers, etc.

It is entirely possible to place the screen protector where it is straight and without anything caught underneath, but I have used this method many times.

If you would like to see the process, search Youtube for "removing lint from under screen protectors".
[Kindle Fire Accessories] rickwood:
I'm lazy -- I took mine to BestBuy and had them do it. It cost around $12, but they did the job right. I always seem to screw up when putting them on myself.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] danij3l:
there is no need to "protect" the screen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivxlsNLi-9s

only good if protector is fingerprint resistant
[Kindle Fire Accessories] brett10:
I agree, it makes no sense to use a screen protector on something that has Gorilla Glass like the KF does, other than fingerprints or possibly a privacy screen protector.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] hijax2001:
I purchased the Skinomi from Amazon. It did not really help with fingerprints like I had planned, nor did it look very good on the screen - contrary to the Skinomi I have on my iPhone 4...
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Vashypooh:
My fire got a light scratch on it in about a week. Never dropped, lived in its case, babied.

Get a screen protector.

(I am anal and hate even the smallest defect. It was indeed a small scratch only noticeable in certain light, but was a scratch.)
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Tomassbender:
I disagree. I have Gorilla Glass on my Samsung Epic 4g which survived the same type of 'demonstrations' showed in that video. Not wanting to impact the beauty of the screen (touted as one of its primary features when the phone came out), I left mine unprotected. However, after less than a year of use, there are still a significant number of scratches on it, and even one 'chunk' missing that is visible from all angles.

Came here to see if anyone recommended a specific brand over another. While the anti-glare screens sound nice, I have also read that it impacts viewing in a negative way - sounds like something I don't want for a device designed for reading. Therefore I figured I'd stick with a clear protector, but was looking for reviews.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] .46caliber:
I've always loved and used the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal.

[I'll add link later]

The anti-fingerprint ones they sell are junk. They really muck up the screen. But the ultra-crystals are great and provide another layer of protection. I haven't installed mine on my Fire yet, but I will once I get around to it.

Though Gorilla Glass is amazing stuff, it is not scratch-proof. I'll continue using screen protectors regardless of what type of glass.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] hrbib21:
Interesting. I have a 2 year old Incredible with a perfect screen and never used a screen protector. I must be the most careful person on earth.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] BranCKY3:
Agree and disagree. While it does hinder the quality a tiny tiny bit, I personally love the feel of the matte surface while reading a book. That, combined with anti-glare, make the clear protectors utterly useless to me. If I'm reading / watching anything, I certainly don't want to have to tilt the device to get rid of glare to see the screen clearly.

I bought the Acase matte screen protectors and absolutely recommend them to anyone. 3 pack for $12.99 shipped on Amazon. (Girlfriend loves them too)
[Kindle Fire Accessories] liquidicem:
I have an XO Skin on my Nexus and love the look of it. You really can barely tell its there and it helps a ton with the finger prints. They make one for the Fire as well: http://xoskins.com/amazon-kindle-fire-screen-protector

Be aware that this is a wet applied protector. I find the best way to apply them is the steam up the bathroom really well for a few minutes, then turn the water off for a few minutes to let any dust in the room settle. Then do a really good wipe down of the screen with a non lint towel and blow it completely clean with compressed air.

When applying the protector, use a lot of the application liquid, on the protector and your fingers.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] AFront85:
I just installed a Skinomi protector. Still waiting for it to dry and all, but as far as I can see I removed pretty much all of the bubbles. It was around 9 bucks shipped, came well packaged with clear instructions and a lifetime warranty. As long as it the picture quality isn't disturbed, I think it's going to be a winner.

I do want to try one of those matte protectors now though...
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Puppytime:
After dealing with cheap screen protectors I ordered a couple different well reviewed protectors.

I got the armorsuit militaryshield.

It installed great, but had to apply it wet (which i don't like) and let sit for 12 hours.

It turned out very nice, you really couldn't tell it was there besides very minor screen distortion. I really didn't like how it felt, a little sticky.

I had to rma that kindle and couldn't save the shield.

So I got a greatshield ezseal

If you're looking for a protector this is the one to get.

Best protector Ive ever used.

Its basically just like the moshi ivisor for ipad.

It doesn't stick to the screen, the adhesive is on the outer edges and it basically lies on the screen -so no bubbles. you can even take it off and wash it.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] sanderswm:
I tried the Acase matte screen protectors on Amazon and they looked awful. They mute the color palette and give everything a fuzzy look. Tried the Acase clear screen protectors instead and they worked out fine. Can't see the fingerprints and the screen still looks good.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] Puppytime:
yeah matte will make it a bit fuzzy/greasy looking

the ezshield is matte

Got this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ALDUFG/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

BoxWave Amazon Kindle Fire ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector

I really like how it fits, it really make the display look better.

Don't really care about scratches, but the reflections on the KF can be pretty annoying outside.

It's not really anti-Fingerprint but it's way more easy to clean.

It's also reusable.
[Kindle Fire Accessories] cloud71:
I thk a screen protector is ideal if your banging it around or throwing stuff of it but other than theres no reason to really.

ive only had i protector on 1 one the phones ive had, all the rest of the stuff I dont have any SP on them.

I have never had any prob with the screen getting scratched.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

If I could find something that would let me see the screen in the sun now that would be worth it. LOL
[Kindle Fire Accessories] mooboo:
Is it making the screen use better outside then? And what about the use inside?
[Kindle Fire Accessories] chronicallyRooted:
I'd definitely speak against screen protectors; I purchased a highly rated myGear one with my Fire and noticed that though fingerprints didn't seem to appear as easily, they were almost impossible to wipe off completely. It also noticeably detracts from what is such a good screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] apple85:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get off those red bookmarks off the books whilst you are viewing your whole library on the homepage bookshelf. It is just really annoying how the moment you open a book it gives the book a bookmark on the front cover even when you are not reading it. (Hope that made sense)

also some of my epubs are not appearing on the mylibrary app library page - i have to go into the file manager app and open the epub using mylibary to open it from there for it to get added to my libary - not the end of the world but a bit of a pain of a process.

But the bookmark thing is the main problem which i'd like help with

many thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_yarbrough:
hi all. i have a couple of questions that i need help with please. first off, i'm looking for a nice, simple volume hack for my Evo. when i plug my Evo into my car stereo via aux cable, i have it turned all the way up on my phone and my stereo, but still get low sound. i've tried apps such as Louder Volume Hack, but honestly it's just too tideous going through every setting. there is a Voodoo Volume Hack that i used to have on my Fascinate, but i don't believe this hack is available for the Evo. the second issue i'm having is i'm running RCmix3D Runny on my Evo and it has ChopSuey 9.2.7 on it, but when i run my speed test, i'm only getting like 1MB download speed and half of that for my upload speed. i have Set CPU installed, but the max you can set this particular kernel up for is 499 MHz. can someone direct me to an extremely faster kernel so that i can get much better speeds please? thanks all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Well lets see,in my opinion i use DSP manager,which is usually already installed on these roms,there is no real volume hack for the evo,the only other solution is buy a "Bose" speaker and hook it up to that,"Bose" makes anything sound louder.Everyone developing for sense 3.5 are working on getting Dre's Beats to work,but no luck yet.

As for a faster kernel,i use More freedom kernel .You also have this new kernel that was just developed,it seems to be pretty fast and smooth.. Anthrax_Qualcomm Kernel .

I hope this helped.
