[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] offspin2040:
Hi.Please post the reason you bought the sgy here.Its not the best one in the market and everyone would have a reason they bought shgy and y duos and noy the galaxy s,htc explorer etc.

For example:-Because you were broke at that time

Because You were influenced by your dad

Because you felt it was VFM etc
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] offspin2040:
My Reason

I bought the sgyd as it was my first phone and my dad wouldnt loan me enough cash to buy a better one.:crying:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] 74M3NUMB3RS:
I bought this phone cause i thought it was good :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] humaid.locastic:
I bought this phone cz i was out of my mind
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] jm423:
I did'nt bought it my mom gave as a gift for my birthday
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rmhoh:
Ofcourse my uncle gave this phone for me as my birthday gift :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ttocs99:
Got it cheap for 52quid from cex shop and al boxed too and i fink that the sgy is a good little fone if you want better then buy better handset thats the best logic :D:D

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] blue.wave:
There's a section for questions bro. :)

Btw it's my first Android phone, I had no idea about android and ofcourse price is a reason behind my sgy. Whatever it is, I love my SGY. :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] shubhs4frndz:
It was vfm phone at that time (7k)

+ better in many aspects than galaxy fit (10k)

Also, sgs is nowhere near to sgy dude -_-
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] m.h.mahadi:
I didn't knew about android custom rom, cm stuff... If I knew that this phone can't play hd games and don't have cm I never buy that.. I would buy a mini or fit.

Btw I really impressed in the sgy TV ad in Indian channels..
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
why not ?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Vedarshi:
I bought this because it was the cheapest android phone I could get, I'm only 14 so my parents wouldn't buy a nexus or even xperia.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] nikufellow:
I earned some money on my own for the first time in my life. After buying my mom a small gift i decided to spent the rest on a new phone to replace my ageing symbian device .

I went to shop tried a few Nokias but was left unimpressed by UI then i picked up the demo galaxy y and played with it for a while and was blown away since it was my first encounter with android - bought it then and there.

And i don't plan on selling it any sooner either if i collect enough money i may buy an ipad or some other tablet but as of now sgy perfectly serves all my needs :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] emjimadhu:
Because I can't offered much money to buy high range mobile. :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] piyush101:
Becoz It was the best phone in my budget...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] menewtoroot:
Tottaly noob to smartphones that days..

Knew nothing about android or anything...

Was having a old generation SPICE phone..

Phone looked good..was cheap and somewhere i read cheapest and the best smartphone...

Well i am still looking for the guy who made that comment...

**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...:D:D**
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deadly:
I just wanted dual sim phone.. had no idea what android was... budget was 8k.. somehow convinced dad for 9k phone..

I was not into smartphone due to touch screens.. as its not ideal for msging... well now I don't msg anymore.. due to xda I.e is;)

**Nothing is True... Everything is Permitted**

Muffins.. Yay, i want muffins!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mohamedrashad:
It was my birthday gift but it's awesome and i liked it and its my first andriod phone
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TingTingin:
I was stupid didn't know anything about android phones or smartphones in general and it was cheap lol if I knew then what I know now I'd probably of gotten a mid-range device as my first device really and truly can't wait to get rid of this this was good for like 7 days then all the features it lacked started rolling in.........next phone G NOTE 2!! lol

Hit THANKS you ungrateful bastard...plz
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AndrewLoyard:
I bought this phone because... wait-a-minute! I got this phone from my dad because he had a tough time using it. :D

It was okay for a while because I finally had a touchscreen phone to play around with until I realized I can't play a lot of games coming from the market and that it didn't support flash. But then I discovered rooting then this forum, now i love tinkering (and bricking) with my SGY. :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Mitko:
Because the specs were decent for such a cheap price.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] The_animaToR:
cause it was cheapest...

my friends had this phone...

and its gpu nd processor is nice...

overall i am fully satisfied with my choice.....:)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hell_lock:
I was very attracted to touch phones that time and when I first time saw this phone in my friend's hand, i had decided to get this phone. Though my mom has a sgm but still this phone has something special in it which pulls me towards it.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Vedarshi:
Same story here. My mom has SGM too.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] daddybux:
Combination of budget and good features for the price. Really didn't have the patience to save and wait for what I wanted, I don't regret it cause it turns out that its probably the easiest android phone to modify. I've learned a lot about that with the sgy. I preffer HTC though, before the sgy I had a couple of HTC phones and was happy with those. Given a choice today I would save and buy the Amaze. I think it would be ideal, HTC, dual core, two cameras an 8mpx and a 2mpx, 4.3" screen, quality built, plenty of ram, good internal memory, expandable sd card and for all those features its priced pretty good. I own an explorer and if it wasn't for the small internal memory issues, its a good phone and the fact that HTC phones are a lot harder to root and customize only makes the memory issues stand out more. But as if I was talking about a girlfriend, it was a good choice because of it I've learned a lot and without it I would have not had that chance. BTW its currently in a drawer bricked but I've been gathering the files I need to bring it back to life. ;), you asked!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] looking4free:
Reason

Because I'm drunk when I bought this phone. :cool:

It's cheap and I thought it is good. But after a week of using it, i started to hate it.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] celisdelafuente:
I have never been fan of fancy gadgets like smartphones, but as a developer I was in need to develop for android. SGY was the cheapest android phone I can get. I didn't want to spend much on this first device.

Right now I'm getting some fun toying with it and I've realized that I should get a better device soon, more easily customizable. But it is good overall in my own experience, also its good to give as gift to kids.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] menewtoroot:
U all bought this phone for its cheapnes...

Now think about 4 guyz who bought this phone after watching me and they dont even know about what root is...lol....

**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...:D:D**
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] silent_monk:
I didn't have to buy my Galaxy Y. I was using an old sony ericsson and one day I took part in a quiz contest and I win this mobile, all by God's grace. And then I enter this world of Android development, this phone is really special and is worth the price for those who bought it.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Morgan_Lee:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] XdaNoob98:
I bought it because my g5 got bricked before and it was the cheapest phone:)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] raj-adroit:
My Reason

I love this phone very much, this is my first smart phone, i bought this on new year jan 1st 2012. :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Filip98:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] akshay1728:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] stokeyblokey:
I bought mine (or had it bought for me by the missus) as a Christmas present. I admit I went to buy a HTC Wildfire S or Desire but they had put the price up loads on those before Xmas so I settled on the best-value Y as it was only £65 or about 5700Rs (as there are so many of my Indian brothers on this forum :) ).

Easier to break than a HTC but easy to recover also after reading the forums here - now running Hyperion 7 with no problems and thinking about what to try next...

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hacker0377:
I buy sgy because it has Cyanogenmod10
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] sandyworsnop:
Why Did You Buy SGY?

i buy SGY becouse it lower cost :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TingTingin:
apparently everyone reason has to do with price
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] shubhs4frndz:
Big mistake bro... :p
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] sanny5:
because it was my first smartphone and wanted to learn about android before i did some **** with it

it has been an year since i bought sgy

i am gona buy nexus 4 in the month of april or march end after my exams are over :P
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Mitko:
Not really, this phone is good for a start in the Android world. SGY is also my first smartphone and before that I always though Android phones were more complicated than computers and I was very afraid that at any time I might screw it up by installing various things but it turns out everything is quite easy.

Thanks to this phone I personally am ready to try out a more advanced Android phone for tweaking after all this experience here.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mjz2cool:
bought it from my birthday money, it's my first android and i didn't want to spend too much money on it. still like it :) but still, when i see my friends sgs WITH cm on it (which i installed) i wish sgy had cm too!! :P
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] viponline99:
because i dont have money :))
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Sean De Jesus:
Because

I bought it with my dad because I saw it in a TV ad, and I'm impressed on what it can do. multitasking, etc. then I searched for pricing of this phone and It's affordable so my dad bought it to me as a advance Christmas Gift.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] shubhs4frndz:
Yeah i was just kidding

But still buying this phone isnt a very vfm deal

Anyways..i love my sgy

First android too

:)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] cosminx13:
i bought it because of the specs didn't know it was so bad at development

[HTC One X] Cloudane:
Is it possible at all to take the new bluetooth stack from JellyBean 4.2 and apply it as a mod to either the stock 4.0.4 Sense ROM or the upcoming (eventually) 4.1 Sense ROM? Or maybe even CyanogenMod 10?

I know that the new stack is actually quite broken for a lot of people, but I have the opposite problem. The existing bluetooth is broken for what I use it with, but the new one works fine. So I'd love to be able to backport it, since I doubt we'll be getting 4.2 for quite some time.

Just FYI the issue is with a Sony car head unit MEX-BT2500. Media/A2DP won't connect with Android 4.0/4.1 bluetooth unless the phone is the one to initiate the connection.... but the default behaviour is for the head unit to initiate it on ignition. So the only way to get it to connect is to start the car, wait for Bluetooth to be ready on the unit, turn bluetooth off on the phone and then turn it back on again. Obviously this is a bit of a faff, and even then the audio skips and sometimes just gets stuck. So it's really not usable.

Related bugs:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24012

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=29564

However I've tested my Nexus 7 (running 4.2) on this unit and it works 100% fine. Which is why I'd quite like to get the same bluetooth stack.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Clubbysupercharged:
Hey, has anyone got this problem before?

After startup with a proper shutdown, there's no network signal, not even the name of the network provider shows up. So a temporary fix for this is a reboot. Is there any permanent fix to this?:confused:

I do have fastboot mode activated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undergrad:
I have a similar issue but I'm running Cyanogen mod 10.

Periodically my Wifi and network connection will become grayed out.

Generally turning off my wifi connection and turning it back on solves the problem, otherwise I have to reboot my phone as well.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] apprentice:
I just tried the OTG cable (that was purchased for the Samsung Galaxy S3) works perfectly on my non rooted Galaxy Camera. No additional software required, it worked straight out of the box. It saw my usb stick and files all useable :)
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] 80000037:
Nice info mate.. thanks.

Now all we need is just "phone enable mod" and we are complete :D
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] beltet:
Can you copy files to an USB stick that's formated in NTFS? That would be ideal when you are abroad and need to empty the camera. Probably you can copy to FAT32 but if you record long movies NTFS would be the better choice. Why I ask is because if you use NTFS on for example my nexus 7 it's only read on NTFS and not write compatible.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] G4Cab:
For NTFS i use Paragon NTFS but you need root.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] beltet:
You mean for the nexus 7? Why I'm asking is because of I'm thinking of getting a galaxy camera and want to know what I can use on it before I buy it. Probably I will root it if I get it.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] sarajw:
Yes I discovered it working fine today too. What I really want however is to be able to store photos from the camera straight into a memory stick hanging from the USB OTG. It's greyed out. Hmm.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] apprentice:
No that doesn't work as you say. I am wondering why you'd want to do this anyway. Surely you can either use a larger memory card inside or just transfer over to the OTG as and when using the file manager? Also I think there would be an additional risk in accidently unplugging your OTG whilst taking pictures with the greatest possibility of corrupting your card and worse, losing your photo's.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] mattyinob:
I think

I think the OTG opens possibilities to external hardware options, like flash, light etc :confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] XenomorphXx121:
I have a galaxy s3 and have games I've purchased for that phone on playstore so downloaded some games to my note 10.1 and although the screen wasn't smaller they seemed to play and look fine.

What I wanted to know is will the games look any different if I download the tablet versions of these games, are they modified any differently for the note?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] reventongt:
Sure . But U have to use the same google account . The games will not look any different ( some games maybe :o ) Playing games using tablet still better than playing on phone . This why i sold my gsii n bought this tablet :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] XenomorphXx121:
Yeah use the same account and if I look at all apps then the apps are there.

Just thought the tablet versions might look a bit different but remembered playing a game through my hdtv it still looked pretty sharp.

Only had my note a day it's on charge, only played nova 3 on it though and apart from jagged little lines if you looked very very close it looked okay to me :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] XenomorphXx121:
Ah after charging my note switched off after my battery died switching it on again after charge everything was reset to uk

Oh wrong topic
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] xMimyx:
Basically Play store detects your device to download the correct apk setup file for your device ..

Same game have many different apk files ( many versions ) for each screen / resolution / processor and/or graphic processor ..

But some games and apps doesn't .. =)​

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliburns:
I've taken my camera to a couple of gigs but on both occasions the resulting video has bad interference when using the zoom. Here is an example at 1:36, 1:52, 2:56, 3:15 and 3:38. Has anybody else suffered from this? I'm suspecting some dirty mechanics in there and may have to return it to Amazon. If it was simply high volume sound distortion then fair enough but it appears to only happen when using the zoom, particularly zoom out.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
No problems for me, I had an expensive Nikon camera that had a pretty loud motor noise on zoom, but I am pleased to say I can't hear it on any video I have shot so far.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliburns:
Glad to hear that, thanks for the reply. I've sent mine back to Amazon and will get another tomorrow in time for Bobby Womack on Sunday. There's so much else brilliant about the camera any other one would seem so retro!

No problem with my camera either!!! Hope you get a good one next time!! :)

I got another one, this time in blue/black and sadly have to report exactly the same problem as seen in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MJ1Zm7lJCo

It's still not too late to return it to Amazon. I called Samsung but they kept asking me if I got the zoom crackling on photos, I tried to explain you wouldn't notice a crackling noise on a photograph.

Tonight I'm going to a quieter gig so will test it out one more time but if it screws up the audio on acoustic songs then back it will have to go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quentin2260:
Hello,

I have a HTC Incredible S with android 4.0.4 and I would like to unlock bootloader. I have 2 questions :

- Is that "unlock bootloader" mean "root" ?

- Is that this method will erase all the data in my phone ?

Sorry for my english, i'm french.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillGoss:
1. Unlocking the bootloader lets you flash custom ROMs. It is not the same as having root access. You need to install a super user program to have root.

2. Unlocking the bootloader will do a factory reset and you will loose all the programs and data you currently have installed. However, it doesn't affect what is installed on your external sdcard.
