[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
I have never used an HTC before, but I would like to respond to your allegations.

True. That is due to how TouchWiz is a 'heavy' launcher. There are lots of 3rd party lightweight launchers in the store, you can use them instead.

"Painful" is highly suggestive. Some people I know complained the other way around.

I'll attribute that to habit: People get so familiar with their own devices that using an unfamiliar one will always be painful.

Can't comment on this one since I very rarely use MMS.

Can't really comment on this one either, since I never used an HTC before.

But let me say that all built-in keyboards can't hold a candle to SwiftKey, especially in a multilingual setting ;)

Hadn't used USB Storage for awhile, but IIRC, it's also simple. Drag down the status bar, tap on the notification, then tap on Connect USB Storage.

I'm not sure if there's a one-tap for Airplane mode, but there *is* a native widget for power management.

The first allegation is true, but the second is patently false.

I'm using CM9b3 currently, and I have no problems at all using the front-facing camera.

Possibly true. But unlike many other Android phone makers, Samsung doesn't lock their bootloaders, thus allowing a lively CusROM scene. (except the SGS3 for Verizon, but that's a singular exception).

Why?

Possible, but not guaranteed.

In my country, for instance, Galaxy W is still selling well, but finding a needle in a haystack is much easier than finding a comparable Android phone with the same price but better features.

i guess he is saying that THERE IS NO VIDEO CALLING :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MtlOz:
pepoluan - Thanks for your feedback!

Some of mine...

Easy things as saving a vCard received by SMS/MMS is not user friendly at all, quite different from clicking the 'save' icon from the message thread in Sense. Don't get me wrong, I'm giving Samsung a go at the moment, I just bought a SGS2 and trying to get my way around! I had a Nokia X6 before my HTC and (almost) everything was at the right place in Sense, I just don't think it's the same with Touchwiz. I'm sure there is some really nice stuff in Touchwiz that Sense is lacking, I'm yet to find it tho.

I'm not talking about airplane mode, but Data Network mode - keep running as a dumb phone.

This is really good to know! I may install CWM, do an backup, install CM9 and give it a go. Restore to factory (except CWM) when tested...

How's the camera quality compare to stock ROM?

Wife's phone... if something goes wrong, it's not my fault! lol

That's a good sign I reckon, maybe we will have something in the future then.

Is that the case, really? no video calling, not even with Skype?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Ah, that... haven't done any vCard transfers lately, so it might be horrible...

Good luck in your exploration :)

I came to SGW after years of happily using my Nokia E72, and for a couple of weeks... let's say that the wife didn't appreciate my vocabulary of swear words :D

Ah, I see...

Unfortunately, I can't recall anything about the native power widget. Ever since I installed Widgetsoid, everything works splendidly (it has a Data toggle, exactly what you're looking for... and no need to be rooted)

It's good enough in my opinion. Slightly less saturated, but imperceptible unless you compare them side by side.

LOL... good reasoning :D

Unfortunately, my wife saw all the amazing things I can do while rooted, so I was forced to root her phone... and thus maintain it :sly:

Skype works, only the 3G video call doesn't.

AFAIK, no Cyanogenmod version ever support 3G Vidcall, because inside the codec used for 3GVC, there's a heavily patented blob that CM devs chose to stay away from.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MtlOz:
Mate, thanks for that, that looks good!

Which one are you using, 3.x or 4.x?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
In GB, i used 3.x. I already upgraded to ICS before 4.x came out. So, I can't tell you if 4.x can run on GB.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nerdlessguy:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graeme H:
I'm really excited about the prospect of using this phone to replace my pad of paper at work, but I'm wondering if it works as well as advertised.

Is it possible to write small characters using the S Pen and S Note (or third party app)? In the reviews I've seen they always use gigantic letters when demonstrating S Note.

What happens if I rest my palm on the screen? Do I have to keep the pen close enough to the screen (so it detects it as hovering) to avoid picking up touches from my palm?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianford10:
I used it to take our menu order last night for 9 of us without any issues if that helps?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dt33:
U can write small letter, thre is a slider that can change how thick/thin the lines gonna be and also can rest u palm on the screen while using s-pen writing. Its a new features on Note 2, there is a icon at bottom right that can activate not to react while a palm touching the screen while using the s-pen. Search for spen in youtube and watch the magic of s-pen. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graeme H:
Thanks for the info!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RehaCk:
Did you consider buying the note 10.1?

I use it for note taking in lectures and the bigger screen is definitely an advantage there over my note 2!

Though the possible functions are nearly the same

[Nexus 7 General] tkoreaper:
The Nexus 7 was my very first tablet and in spite of Apple's obnoxious claims it is a great device and I certainly don't understand what advantages a thin aluminum back has over plastic. While I truly admire the openness of the stock android experience, I was completely underwhelmed by the display's washed out color and overall sharpness/clarity. I gave the device an honest try and rooted it as well as tried a few ROMs. While I was completely happy with the amount of development and amazing ROMs that are available I just couldn't get over the color issue. So I returned it and exchanged it for the new Kindle fire HD.

Immediately I could tell the difference... the display, unbelievably, was perfectly calibrated based on a slew of websites that I used to calibrate my monitors at home. I realize that I lost the openness of android and the ability to flash custom ROMs, but I have happy with what the device is capable of out of the box. I mainly got the device to watch movies and play games while I'm on the road which is a lot and it does that very well. To make up for the loss of openness I saved $50 and put it towards the 3rd party 2-year warranty which was actually cheaper than the N7's due to the Kindle being considered an E-Reader which was pretty convenient.
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
Interesting you say this, because I only experience washed out colours after video playback. I think this is due to a software issue on nVidias end and am hoping it gets fixed with 4.2. I'm happy you like your Kindle but seriously, why post this in a N7 forum? You're just going to get a load of hate as to how the N7 is better. I for one agree with those haters. I. Buy an android over a iOS device because it is open and customisable, the Kindle is neither customisable or open.
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Other way for me.. picked up the KFHD and couldn't cope with it's half gimped android system that I went to the N7 and been happy since. Don't get me wrong, the KFHD has awesome hardware and better color calibration, I could notice the difference, especially since I had both in hand but since I returned it, I haven't missed anything from the KFHD.

The locked Amazon ecosystem was a real turn off for me, but if it works for you, great. Everyone has different needs and wants.
[Nexus 7 General] tkoreaper:
Believe me I did my research on the issue. I wanted to keep the device and it wasn't an easy decision. But for what it's worth, the specs of the Kindle are better, the color quality is certainly better, and the Kindle UI isn't all that bad. I was able to root it and put Google Play on it so really all I lost was complete customization even though I can use a different launcher.

I posted it here as a reference to anyone else looking to get the device... Again, the N7 is great and would have preferred to keep it, but it just didn't work for me and honestly I expected more from Asus/nVidia because an issue such as this is hard not to notice and should have been fixed before release.
[Nexus 7 General] b00mb00mchuck:
you're gonna get hammered on this one... :silly:

Kindle is heavier... only has dual core 1.2.... half the battery life... no NFC... no true android OS... missing out on tegra gaming

Not argueing with your opinion of "liking" the kindle ... but it doesn't have better specs

Only thing they snuck in there was the nice dual band dual antenna wifi setup... that's a better spec

And the washed out color thing is just opinion... I don't even see it... but I'm not that picky about that I guess...

I messed around with the KFHD the other day and there's no way I would give up the nexus 7 specs for marginally better color rendering... nope
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
No GPS, no fast updates,... no GAPPs
[Nexus 7 General] tkoreaper:
It is heavier yes, but the processor is at the very least the same if not better based on several sources, Amazon claims to have 1 more hour over the N7 (Though that could change with different ROM's and Kernels), sound is better, and the wireless is better. NFC/GPS is about the only thing (hardware-wise) that the N7 has over it.

Most of the Gapps can be installed and I have heard of several users getting pretty accurate locations using wireless and google maps.
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
Do you have the Kindle Fire 7 HD or 8.9HD?

The processor in the 7 sucks compared to Tegra 3,with the larger Fire have a comparable one.

And for what it's worth, all colors issues seemed solved with the new 4.1.2 update. Though have fun with your Kindle.
[Nexus 7 General] tkoreaper:
The 7 is the only one that's out. The 8.9 comes out next month. I'm no expert, but if you google the comparisons and look at the CPU discussions you'll find that what I said is true. The Fire's CPU is on par or better... not worse. I also had 4.1.2 on the Nexus I had.
[Nexus 7 General] b00mb00mchuck:
If you're thinking that 1.2GHz dual core OMAP is as good as 1.3GHz quad core TEGRA 3... you're reading the wrong reviews... look at a non biased site like CNET... they do their own testing and show half the battery life playing video

I googled like you said but I keep seeing the same stories
[Nexus 7 General] NexusDro:
THe Kindle HD 7 uses the OMAP4460 SoC, which is the same one found on the Galaxy Nexus. It's an cortex A9 dual core with a GPU that is also found in the original Samsung Galaxy and Nexus S, but overclocked. Tegra with is a cortex A9 quad core with a more advanced GPU. The OMAP4470 found in the 8.9" Kindle is another story. It does have a better GPU than the older OMAP 4460 but how it compares to the Tegra 3 GPU I am not sure.

Also, according to Displaymate, the Nexus 7 LCD panel is actually pretty decent. It is just hindered by bad software calibration which can be corrected with an update.
[Nexus 7 General] altimax98:
I agree with you 100% that the 4460 is behind the Tegra in raw specs. But having both of them my Galaxy Nexus out performs my N7 in daily use, it'll run circles. Both are running the same nightly on CM10. I think it has more to do with a slow EMMC, but that may be why the OP feels the 4460 is better.

I do wish Asus built better products though
[Nexus 7 General] tkoreaper:
In all fairness I may just take this Kindle back on Monday and pick up the 32GB Nexus if they have it and hope that it doesn't have the same issues since it's newer. The ads on the KF are a bit obtrusive and annoying to say the least.
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
Don't let people change your mind, Like I said in my first post. This is what you get for posting the fact you have a KFHD in the N7 forum, people will rip you for it. If you like your KF keep it. :)
[Nexus 7 General] panSpermia:
+1
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Don't succumb to peer pressure, keep what you want and works for you.

Like mentioned above, you're in the N7 section, people here will favor that device.
[Nexus 7 General] slimdizzy:
The fact that you paid good money for it and they splash ads on it is the dealbreaker for me. If they subsidized it maybe I could understand.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I have a 32gb Nexus from Office Depot and the screen is exactly the same as the 16gb I had.

The Nexus is a better unit hardware wise but its whatever you like. The screen is something you spend a lot of time looking at. So make sure you are happy with it. Trinity kernels come pre-color calibrated to give that pop. Still might not be enough for your tastes though.

On the other hand you can flash custom roms on the Fire.

In my experience though, roms on those kinds of devices are far from perfect. May not be bad now but with newer Android versions, things will be missing and/or not 100%. Nexus devices really have longevity in this regards. Even in a few years, we'll still have the latest and greatest updates.

Updates and support won me over. Else I'd look at the Galaxy Tab 7 2. Walmart had them on sale for $249. Samsung would give you a true tablet experience and a nice screen... but updates from Samsung are sparse too.
[Nexus 7 General] T-Keith:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong or you're doing wrong but my nexus 7 runs circles around my Galaxy Nexus. Both running cm10 also. If there is an app updating in the background my gnex is frustratingly slow, the 7 just flies.

Either way the Kindle is probably the better consumption device, but less capable overall and for most of us a non starter due to the os.
[Nexus 7 General] Dennelly:
Good glad to see you didn't get sucked into Apple and their bs !
[Nexus 7 General] BigBT:
This was intended to troll
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dillsnik:
My GF now has the S3, and she's very light in terms of tech savy. I flashed a CM10 nightly build for her to start her phone out, but it's been hanging and lagging a bit from time to time, and that more than anything else bothers her.

Should i just put her back on stock, or is there a great option that isn't so cutting edge but will be sure to be bug free and solid and smooth for her?

The issue is it's not in my hands so i can't play around with it a lot to test and see, she'll just complain if it doesn't work perfect lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerclose:
I'd say Ariel or Kyan rom for normal use and you can throw on KT747 ICS touchwiz kernel as well. I wouldn't do any of the JB based roms atm if you want pure stability.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] captican:
I like Slim ROM but it really comes down to personal preference. Take a couple hours and flash a couple different ones. Does she want TW or pure Android. There are just so many choices...it might be an interesting experience getting her to participate in the testing since it is her phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Try out Tasks AOKP, it's really nice. I just switched to black jelly last night and I'm liking it so far, battery hasn't been great my first day, but it should get better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] G-Man.:
+1 for Task/Ktoonsez AOKP JB ROM - its flawless!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rail205:
+1 for kyan. All the jellybean roms are sweet but always had issues with video recording (very low audio). For a lite user I would say stick to ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
If she likes CM10, I suggest flashing the "M" versions as those are the monthly stable builds (latest one was around 15th of October). Anyways AOKP is good, it was released a week or so ago and I find it very stable and battery life is better than CM10 (in my own experience). Anyways just do whatever she likes. Most people recommend Kyan so do whatever she or you want.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
Stock 4.0.4 works near perfect for me. It is under rated. I have disabled bloatware and added some tweaks but honestly, it rocks fine. Ultra reliable. I am a guy who spent over 1.5years tweaking with my legendary HD2...using custom kernels and cm roms, and never 100% happy...yet the S3 out of the box...kicks butt.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PouperPoups:
BlackJelly if you want JB. kyanRom if you want ICS.

To the guy who said BlackJelly was poor for battery life: I just went over 5 hrs of screen time with it. It's amazing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Triune II rom best super stable with all features
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dillsnik:
Thinking of just upgrading her to stock JB now that's it's available. I would love to flash a rom but since she will only complain about problems, not really notice advantages, I lean towards keeping her stock. Unless there's a hands down choice that will be STABLE
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Florad77:
Jedi Invasion is the best. Smooth, stable, and everything works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ragz:
If she doesn't care about newest upgrades leave it as is(just upgrade to newest stock) she won't care and you won't get hassled when stuff doesn't work, just my opinion, been there done that with my wifes phone.
