[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
People get too caught up in the other ROMS when in all reality Froyo briings everything they need via a stock ROM but some folks would rather run Cyano or Modaco just to say they have have a custom ROM. In all reality if you install Froyo after a clean wipe the only real bug you will encounter is with some marketplace apps not showing up. A small price to pay considering they will eventually show up and life will be back to normal. The majority of ppl complaining about other bugs are folks who flashed froyo over a cyano or modaco etc.. rom and of course they are going to have problems as this update was obviously not tested with cyano or modaco as a base rom for obvious reasons. I'd say a good 90% plus of the problems some are experiencing are due to this and the rest of us are loving Froyo to death. I'm happy with it and anxiously awaiting the official release so I can reinstall those market apps that are missing as that's the only real bug I am encountering after a clean install of Froyo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
For everyday use I feel Froyo is definitely slower than CM5.0.7 with pershoot's latest kernel. I used CM's quick rooter with Froyo so I was also OC'd for a fair comparison. I'm still going to keep using Froyo because it's fun seeing optimizations and themes etc slowly tickle out for the new Android build.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dictionary:
I agree, to a degree, but there is no way most people are just caught up in the hype of a ROM. The assumption and assertion that custom ROMs are pointless is unjustified, and bias to your needs. I find the the enhancements custom ROMs bring can drastically alter my user experience in many ways. For example, MCR r15 runs circles around my stock ROM, in terms of speed, performance with games, battery life, etc. Prior to FroYo, these ROMs added the wifi/wired tethering, lower capacitive button fix (thanks kmobs), better battery life, smaller file sizes for installed system, homescreen rotation (which FroYo still doesn't do), trackball colors, and various other small tidbits. Now that FroYo is out (I wonder how much of what's in FroYo only came about due to the Dev community putting it out there, and Google taking notice.. hmm), I can only imagine what the Devs will cook up to enhance it even further.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Looking forward to the future Cyano ROMS based on Froyo no doubt but at this point in time Froyo brings everything I ever rooted for and gives me better battery life to boot. The dev community certainly had some influence in the features we see today in Froyo and for that I am thankful, don't mean to sound like i'm coming down on the devs. I just don't see much point in running anything other than Froyo right now but will consider it once I see what the devs can add to it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Well, if you want a good example - I want the option to have sd-ext partition (custom, pre-Froyo Apps2SD). Firstly because many apps I have currently don't support moving to SD - and I'm "overbooked" by at least 50MB that I have to offload to SD card to have some space left on the device, and also because I like the ability to mound SD card without loosing access to applications.

I also hate it that I don't have direct access to hidden system menus, and even for changing the browser user agent I need to write "about:debug".

Those things keep me with CM5.0.7.1 until better times.

i just flashed my HD2 to the evo rom last night and I'm experiencing problems with the headset volume being too low only during calls. anybody else experiencing the same problem? let me know if so. thanks in advance!!
[HD2 General] rmeneses86:
all the other audio works perfectly fine, like when i play music it sounds loud and clear as with the sound alerts when they sound off
[HD2 General] marduk79:
check the system volume. When you press the vol up/down you may have 1 or 2 volume bars. If you've got 2 (upper left will say system) make sure both bars are all the way up. If you've got 1 bar, ensure that one is up and then go to settings>sound & display and ensure the system volume is up along with all the other settings on that page. Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] rmeneses86:
my system volume is all correct. i checked all that before i posted it. i guess im going to retry flashing it again but if it does the same thing im going to go with the chucky rom next... i heard a lot of good thing about it! thank for the reply tho man
[HD2 General] steve austin:
I have the same problem. The system volume is up the ring volime is up before I get a call. However, when I get a call, via bluetooth or regular headset, the volume is only on the first 4 bars. I hung up on several people at first because i did not know they were on the line.
[HD2 General] rmeneses86:
that sucks bro.. well. i guess its just a problem with the rom then! i just flashed to the chucky rom and its by far the best rom i feel so far!!! only down fall is that it doesnt have the analog clock but you can always just install it later on i guess..

[HTC Vox] Shotaway:
I have a Vox which is CID and SIM unlocked thanks to IMEI-Check.

I get Error 270 when I try and Flash a ROM. I do not understand why. The phone is CID unlocked so that means that I do not have to run UPSL? Am I misunderstanding something? What do I need to do to put a new Rom onto this phone. The guides all assume that your phone is not CID unlocked but I cannot find a guide that applies to CID unlocked phones.

Is there anyone out there with an answer?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
USPL is the only thing you need to do, SIM Unlocking has nothing to do with flashing! You CID-unlock the Vox by doing USPL ;)
[HTC Vox] Shotaway:
Thanks - Ran UPSL and now have a wm6.6 SP!! I'm still a little confused IMEI-CHECK say there software CID unlocks your phone??? But UPSL still needed?
[HTC Vox] gutek85:
USPL is the best solution, becauce it's FREE:D

I know there are some chargers for sale on ebay, but I can't figure out where do I plug it in the plane seat ... ??
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
All Airplanes don't have an in-seat charger, specially in the Economy class.

The only airline I've travelled in that had a 110V AC for Economy class was Cathay Pacific.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
I think your best bet would be to get a back up battery powered charger. Thats what I keep with me for those times I need to charge when I don't a plug.
[HD2 General] mobi:
Most airlines now have standard power points built into seats. Not all seats but many. Go to http://www.seatguru.com/, choose your airline and plane type and it will tell you if there is one close.

Even when they are there, they are not easy to find so look hard.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
There has been quite a lot of talk on various forums/blogs/etc whether or not the i9000 has or has not an LED Camera Flash.

Seeing as handtec advertise the i9000 by stating it does have an LED Flash I wrote to them yesterday in an attempt to put this away once and for all.

I made it clear their reply must contain written proof to their web site specification claim.

Also I asked on a question of the Video supporting an LED light as this is also mentioned by handtec in the i9000's specification list. See the answer to that as well in the reply.

Their reply is listed below and also came with a .pdf attachment which I am also forwarding on here.

Below was the reply I received from them.

Message Received from handtec ~ Thursday 27th May 2010

Thanks for your email,

We have had this query once already today so it seems to be cause of great debate as you have mentioned, we have been doing our research to ensure you receive the correct information, and in response to this i can confirm the Samsung I9000 does have an LED Flash, however in regards to the video light we cannot confirm this until the device has been released and tested.

I am very sorry i could not answer your question at this current time however as soon as we have the item we will be more than happy to test this out for you, in the meantime the only information we have managed to obtain from our sources is shown on the attached file.

The above information is pretty much the only info we have on this, and very little concrete evidence of the Video LED is available, once we receive stock we will of course validate this and ensure the site is updated accordingly.

Please advise if we can assist you further?

Kind regards.

I wonder what that pdf is? I mean, it looks like a screencap from some site. Do you think that is handtec's distributer?

edit to add: All the places that have review device (gsmarena, for example) don't have a flash, but they also state that they had less RAM than the actual phone (256 vs 512), so maybe Samsung haven't actually finalized the details yet? I mean, they are being very secretive. :)

Personally, I don't think (given the details we know so far) that the phone has a flash, and so far ONLY handtec have stated that it does. I wish Samsung would release the detailed specifications!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
I'm with you on this in that I do not believe there will or is an LED Flash.

However, as handtec have published it and sticking to their proof I have to publish it myself.

As to where the written pdf proof came from I am not sure.... It could have come from a Distributer who had initial findings sent by Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
..and thank you for it!

I personally don't mind to much about the flash, but it would be nice to know for certain what we are buying! I guess it's only a week or two until we all find out for sure. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryingfreeman83:
Galaxy S don´t have LED flash
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
And where exactly have you based this short and tepid answer from?

I personally do not believe it will either but unlike your answer I chose to forward a 'debate' on the issue rather than a proclamation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Klonka:
I mailed back too handtec for checking what their source is in this subject. If they are not lying us right up in the face I think Samsung Galaxy S will get a LED flash...

"Dear Mr Karlander.

This information has been passed to us from Samsung distribution in UK.

The information provided to you in the attachment has been passed direct from Samsung."
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
Cool! I am totally confused now as to why none of the review units have a flash, maybe it is a 16gb model thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
It's possible the feature just wasn't enabled when they released the ROM for the demonstrators. If it is there, great, if not, meh, I've already ordered mine :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
An update from Chris Love of Clove ~ Chris has put in an email to the Product Manager to clarify the LED Flash.

The Product Manager is also coming down to see them on the 7th June when Clove showcase the i9000 to Smartphone Essentials Magazine.

So hopefully we may have an answer soon. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
Thanks for the info!

How strange is it that Samsung haven't been clear on this? Is this normal for them, or are they being deliberately silent? I mean, detailed specs have so far come from people who have the unit, rather than the company itself. Maybe it's just to keep us all interested...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
They have a close liaison with Apple and we know Apple have a habit in doing this and look at the interest they cause....

In a way you can understand their marketing strategy.... keep your customers starving for information and they will then go looking for it which in turn has a physiological effect in wanting more information and keeping the interest running at fever pitch.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
It really works so well. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Tell me about it.... I have not been this busy talking with sellers, magazines and other folk for absolutely ages.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
Oh I would be so happy if they changed their mind on camera LED at the last moment. I grew kinda fond of the one on my old SE W850i, using it as a flashlight quite often. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
I am hoping that the brightness of super amoled will be enough for a (weak) flashlight. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
That will have to do in case the preproduction models were accurate, but you can't lock the screen then and it will be more demanding than a dedicated LED. Anyway, this won't stop me from getting one... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Ooh, I had one of them, it did make a pretty torch in a power-cut!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
One snippet of information worth mentioning ~ The GSMArena Review.

GSMArena has stated there is no flash on the camera.

However...... when you look at those pictures from GSMArena they are from the earlier pre-production models.

The reason I say this is when you look at the supplied images on GSMArena and focus on the one that shows the back of the phone, now then look at the Speaker Grills and you see we have have two grills running horizontally.

Post production models have three grills running vertically... In other words there is 'something' fundamentally different that has changed to alter the Speaker Grill.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
I haven't seen any pics from the post production models yet. Do you have any links to pics/video?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Have a look at these two pictures.... Ironically BOTH from GSMArena.

First up the one with just 2 Horizontal strips:-

And now the one with 3 Vertical strips:-
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
Ok I see what you mean, there is something different between the two.

To include a flash, they would change the camera part of the case. Look at these pics, for example: http://www.letsgomobile.org/en/review/0141/samsung-galaxy/page2/

See how the flash it actually part of the lense fitting? I think that if they were going to change the phone between these pre-production and the actual release, they probably would have included a case that has room for it.

Your point is that the case has changed once already, and so may still be up for changing before release, and I agree. However, as we are all saying, I doubt very much that they are going to make the radical move to include a flash at the last minute.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
Well, said phone has already been launched in SG. No flash at all. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
TBH, even though my HD2 has a dual flash, I pretty much always have it turned off as it totally washes every photo out. So I won't really be missing a flash ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
I agree with you on all counts....

Although the back of the phone has changed including both where the names Samsung & Google plus the Speaker Grill it would be right to assume an LED Flash would be located near to the camera assembly.

As to whether or not the final European or non Asian model will have an LED Flash is so, so open to debate.

Personally I doubt it but I'm simply the messenger who either finds the news or gets told by a leading UK sales dealer (as in handtec ~ who by the way are STILL adamant the European version will have the flash).

If it does it does... I'm none to bothered.

As Nicolopolus says, I too have an HD2 and the only time I ever use the flash is when using it with the excellent 'Torch' application which I will sadly miss on the Galaxy S.

Torch is a brilliant app, again I'll miss it very much.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cryingfreeman83:
OMG galaxy S don´t have LED flash...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
There is no perfect phone, cos the manufacturers won't allow it. :D Let's get real here, how else would manufacturers be able to sell all the different models? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
true enough :)

What I don't understand is why they don't include xenon flashes like the old SE phones??? They were so much better. (seriously, does anyone know?)

But back to the subject, very honestly i don't see the pb with not having a LED flashes. Pictures taken in the dark are of very poor quality on a cellphone without a powerful flash. I find it close to useless to have an LED flash (flashlight apps are pretty handy i must admit :P).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
Yeah, there were rumors a while back about the Pro version of the Galaxy S, which may have a keyboard. (Who wants to bet that it will have a flash? :P)

I honestly don't like keyboards on phones, as usually they make it too thick. It might be different with this phone, as it is so thin to start with, but then why would you need a keyboard when you have swype? For the worst case scenarios (eg typing up a document or chatting extensively over IM) one of these looks like it will do the trick: http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-smartphones/

Anyway, my point is that I think the Galaxy S is so close to the 'perfect' phone, that Samsung may have made the mistake of making it too good. If an upgrade with a keyboard/flash is released, I would prefer to get this model, even if it is similarly priced. Unless there are some amazing advances* in phone hardware very soon, this phone will be top-of-the-line for probably close to 2 years (my guess).

*Note that in the UK we don't have 4G, and i cant see our networks shelling out the cash to get them within the next couple of years. By 'amazing advances' I mean huge increases in memory speeds/capacities or flexible displays. Or mobile pixel Qi displays. (Those things look so cool, and would make the phone a low-power ebook reader as well. Argh when is notionink going to tell us more about the Adam?)

tl;dr I agree with you. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Using it as a Torch would be my main reason in having the Flash.

It's got me out of many a problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:
totally agree beards!

saved me many times thanks to the dual led on my Omnia II :)

too bad i dont use it for photos haha, makes itlook to washed out and crap...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hermanherz:
In this article about the start of galaxy s in india they also speak about an LED.

http://www.mediamughals.com/News/1/6/Article/5511/Samsung_to_rock_smartphone_segment_in_India_with_its_'Galaxy_S'.htm

Also, in this indian version is only 6gb of internal memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
This might just be what is left of the internal 8GB Flash. It has been reported often that 2GB of that is reserved for system "ROM", that would leave 6 for the internal extra storage. I don't think they put in two seperate chips for that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheGoD:
Yeah, its somewhat similar with the i8000 omnia II. You have 512 mb Device-Storage and 7.5 gb Internal Storage on the 8 gb model.

Since GSM-Arena reported that the Galaxy S will hav 1.8 gb Rom-Space, 6 gb internal storage on the 8 gb model sounds plausible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jojitsu:
Well on my nexus one the flash makes a HUGE difference in how my pictures turn out: in dim light conditions (where I do most of my snapping), if I don't use the flash the picture is really poor, but with the flash on it will usually turn out rather good!.. And I'm not just talking about blacked out rooms, just like in my house at night time etc..

If the galaxy s ends up with a flash I will definitely consider buying one, if it doesn't I definitely won't.

My old samsung I8910 hd could occasionally take a decent low-ish light picture without using its flash, but it was almost impossible to hold it steady enough for the picture not to be a blurry mess, so it was pretty useless at shots of anything moving slightly..

Led flash

I have had several Samsung phones over the years, and maybe they refer to a LED which flashes several colors. Like when you have a missed call or when its charging? Same is my experia X1

an addon a lot of phones have nowadays? Like a red flashing led when its recording? Ill have my galaxy tomorrow so ill check it and keep you updated.

There is nothing like a LED at all on the phone, all you can do i use an app for an update notification.

When I charge my phone at night in the dock, and if I receive a text/email, the trackball keeps glowing the whole night. It can be difficult to sleep at times with it glowing.
