on this video of Samsung Wave(Super AMOLED) on daylight it doesn´t seem very visible

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
It isn't perfect. But set to a decent brightness, it has one of the better displays under sunlight that i've seen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BasieP:

it seems little better than classic AMOLED, better then nothing:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
is the screen very scratch resistant?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
My first impression of the screen is that it just doesn't allow you to dim it to a decent level. I like to have a degree of privacy when using my phone and the Galaxy S at minimal brightness is almost as bright as a iPhone at default brightness. This with the sharpness of the screen and the Android font sizes makes it readable from 10-20ft away!!!!

You're actually complaining about something being that good you can't make it bad enough...:D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
that is so funny LOL! I can't wait to have my phone monday and see how good the screen is hehehe.

But I understand about privacy damianarnold I am the same lol! I hope people won't be able to read what I am reading T_T
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ariozo:
Got my Galaxy S Friday morning, and just been playing with it for a day now. But so far i cant find so mutch to complain about, and some problems other write here i have never even seen on my device. Ok, camera has no flash, but even if it is lower light it does decent, if not to dark that is then it will be black :) Video working like a charm on mine to, looks realy nice and speed one ask about on photos...1-2sek or so on mine. Only thing i did not like on Swe. device was it had no Swype from start :( Other then that it works like a charm, and i have just charge it one night and from 6 in the morning till now 19:35 i got 84% left and i have use mail,sms and been talking normaly in it all day. About the scrren i guess some say it might be to "light" so folks see what you doing, but for me it is pure love have so nice screen even in full sunlight i see it perfect comapre to my last phone desire that i had big problems see screen when sun was upp. So in the end. i still love my Hd2 and ofc. my N900 but for android, after try x10 and desire for 2 month now i can say this one is the best android phone i have been playing with so far. I have just been playing for one day with it but if nothing will crack totaly i cant see what would make me change my mind about that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
Just came across this screen protector that also gives you privacy, as apparently it limits the screen viewing angle to 30 degrees(my German is rusty, so, yeah): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vikuiti-Blick...ViewItem&pt=Handy_Zubehör&hash=item5d295ab00f

No idea how good it is, but if you value your privacy, there may be help out there.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Those would be the only three phones I'm considering (would have considered the HD2, but T-Mobile UK stopped carrying it) so good to hear you reckon the Galaxy S is the best. Any particular thoughts on why it's better than those other two? Does text seem any less sharp than on the X10, or more than on the Desire?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ariozo:
Desire i like alot, have most Htc phones that is worth try and desire did not let me down. X10 on the other hand i had for like 3-4 days as first i had very mutch "lagg" in most things, after i uppdated it it was better but still far from smooth. And X10 had very big problem on Sound when use phone, could bearly hear what the other person say when my Vol. was on max. Maybe they have fix it now tho, my X10 was one off the first ones that came to swe. And also did go back with it and try a new one but it had same problem. Also had problem on battery on X10 as i talk quite alot in phone and use mail/sms when i then put wifi on and use BT it was out in less then a day. Have a few SE and sometimes they give out the phones befor it is 100% ready, so guess that is the problem with x10, can be a nice phone later on i guess. Did use now and then for fun tho, but did gave upp on it after a bit. :)

Desire on the other hand i had not that problem with, but had big problem use it in sunlight, did not see mutch on screen when sun was upp high :) Other then that most things worked realy nice on Desire.

But Samsung just is more off my taste off phone with a realy nice screen i see perfect on when i am out and also a battery i can bearly get dead on a day use so far :) And just how the menu looks in phonepad,contacts,sms and all that is just mutch more nice on samsung if you ask me, but that is just as it fits me tho. Guess other has diffrent taste and should say diffrent maybe :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leoon:
I was wondering if this phone has all those sensors for games like those in IPhone (to play games like doodlejump etc.)? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
Had the opportunity to play in direct sunlight today (well I live in the UK, sunny days can be a little scarce!) the visibility is poor when compared to an iPhone, I turned the brightness up to maximum and was able to read it although not as visible as the iPhone at medium brightness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
Thanks for that, I'll have to investigate further!

I played the free Asphalt 5 on the Galaxy yesterday, behaved the same and in some cases better than the iPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ariozo:
On the sunlight question, i guess your screen must be bad or broken..:) As if it is something this phone does is work like a charm in sunlight, or atleast what i think. Have compare to iphone and desire when i first got it and Galaxy show color liike it was dark even if sun shine strong, that the other 2 not do same good.(Ofc.It is litle lower in direkt sunlight, all phone does, but this one all colors stay strong and very Visable.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
Where did you get your phone from? Hope you did not get it from expansys (this is where I have ordered mine from).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
Pre-ordered 16Gb from Vodafone on pay monthly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
ok thanks. I am quite concerned on what you wrote, since I live in Greece and poor performance under the sun would be a serious problem..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
I wouldn't say poor, just not what I am used to with a iPhone 3GS. An iPhone will appear to be washed out, except for blacks so you can still make out the detail.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ariozo:
Matter off taste i guess, as i should say other way around :)

Coming from my 3gs like you also did and you think it was worse, and i think it was more off an uppgrade in sunlight :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ewingr:
It'll be interesting to see more thoughts. Yours is the first post I've seen that thinks the iPhone is better in direct sunlight.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keptod:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
One thing I will say is that one distinct advantage of the plastic case back is that this thing weighs nothing compared to most phones I've used, however the case is so thin that after using whilst charging you can really feel how hot it gets!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
So, Super AMOLED makes the sunlight readability about as good as a transflective LCD.. that's a little disappointing considering how it's been marketed, although it is clearly better than the other AMOLED which is almost unusable. So it does remove one of AMOLED's main drawbacks compared to LCD, at least.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
Maybe it's ya own expectations....dun recall them saying it beats the sunlight viewability of everything else out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zen123:
Mine arrived this morning.

Its bigger than I expected it to be, but very light. I think the whole device is made of plastic, even the chrome bezel is plastic I think. A lot more body flex than the HTC Desire I have. Placed next to my wife's Iphone 3GS you'd be had pressed to tell them apart, not a bad thing as I like the design of the Iphone but I'm sure there will be people out there ready to bash it for that. Don't like the usb input on the top but love the slinding cover.

The screen is lush, much better than the HTC Desire. The suns blaring down so I took all 3 phones outside to test the readability. Have to say the Desire is a distant last with Galaxy & 3GS about the same. Touch sensitivity seems good.

Touchwiz is ok but the icons are a definately not as polished as the HTC ones. Everything whizzing along just fine. Signal quality better than the HTC, rear speaker much louder & nicer sounding. I might try to disable Touchwiz later & see how it performs on Vanilla Android.

All in quite impressed but not decided if I will keep it yet. I have 14 days to try it out see how it goes. By the way this is my 1st ever Samsung handset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarvinTheAndroid:
Welcome to the forums BlackSeries. :D

Glad you like your phone, and that you didn't follow all the other "sheep" and get the Desire.

The screen is nice. The "soft" touch is down to the extremely slick coating on the glass - try sticking a Post-it note on the glass and watch it fall off again! :D

I got rid of the daily briefing widget too, for exactly the same reason. I'm using the Genie Widget from the Nexus 1 dump.

Still loving my SGS. :cool:

USER FAULT Not KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE

Hi gurus,

May i know what is thie issue about? At times, when i open an app and close using the Home button or use the back key, this screen will pop up. There is no way to remove this unless i take out the battery and power it on, then it will go back to normal.

I just ROOT my phone and that is all i did. No change of firmware and using Singtel phone with Starhub simcard. Change the look to Launcher Pro. That is all.

Any helpful advice from the gurus is much appreciated. Thank you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
Hmmm that's very strange...I've never seen that screen before. There's the possibility it's the SD card you're using since many apps load data on the external SD, and you mentioned it only appears when opening some apps.

Put some of the stuff written on the screen into Google and see if anyone else has had that appear on any Android phone.

Perhaps flashing a new firmware rom and see if it persists (which would indicate an issue with either the phone or the SD card). I've found JM2 to be the best firmware for me with zero issues, force closes or anything.

If it still happens with the new firmware, try a different SD card (or none at all so it uses the internal memory). If it's STILL there, unroot your phone, put the original firmware back and return for warranty.

That is, unless someone else here knows what that screen indicates? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goofyandnerdy:
Thank you for your reply. However I don't use any external sd card but just use the internal sd. Tried finding this error message on google but no luck:(

The error message said it's user fault? What user error?Anyone else had this error before?

Never done any flashing before so have to read about it first:)

Jumped from windows mobile to android hope for better experience but still giving me headache..lol..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgillespie:
Seems the current ROM is Chinese/English (defaulting to Chinese and having touch input for mandarin). There already seems to be loads of different rooted stock roms, based off this.

Is it worth waiting for the Euro releases? Will they offer anything different?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davith:
Well, languages first. Useful if you're not english and want the ROM in your own language.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkTrooper:
From what I can tell, they're the same. The Chinese version includes English as well as Chinese, so you should be good to go with these versions.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
I just ordered the carbon-fiber setup. Will post my experience when it comes in.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] SiL3nTKiLL:
thats pretty cool, gotta look into this lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
Got mine in today. About all these are good for is personalization and minor scratch protection of unimportant areas. The battery cover half only covers part way and will only protect from scratches when laying the phone down flat. The cutouts are perfectly positioned and lining the skin up is easy, but be careful not to stretch the thin material.

The front skin is less impressive. Unlike in the photos, it does not cover the chrome trim at all. It is exactly the same shape and size as a die-cut screen protector, but the screen area is open. If you use one of those types of screen protectors then this skin is little more than adornment. If you use the square-cut type then it has to be larger than the skin's opening, which is exact to the Tilt's viewable screen area. This means there will be some degree of overlap. You could cut a screen protector to fit the skin's opening, but the likelihood of getting it perfect and without gaps is not high. Again, be careful not to stretch it when applying, especially the very thin sides.

To get the included wallpaper you have to go to a website and enter a key that comes with the skin and verify your e-mail address used to order. It will then be sent in an e-mail. I tried to use it with SPB Mobile Shell and it was magnified and all pixelated for some strang reason. Didn't try it with Manila since I'm no longer using that UI.

I guess if you want a custom look to the outside of your phone, it's worth the $12 (with shipping), but don't expect a lot of protection from it. Also, when you pass a finger over the edge where it meets the device you can feel it. Probably won't be long before it starts lifting and getting all unglued or ragged.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Aaron McCarthy:
hey Miami.... post some photos of the finished application if you can.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lufc:
Yes would like to see them if its ok i might take a punt at it:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
OK, here ya go!

Here's a fuzzy closeup of the edge. You can feel it when you pass a finger over it and it will probably be no time before it starts to lift. I've already got a ragged edge right where the stylus goes in from nicking it with my fingernails. I'll leave it be as long as I can, but I don't expect it to stay on too long.

Hi, I have upgraded my Shift to Windows 7 which went very smoothly. I have followed the forums to install all of the drivers, and then went on to upgrade them through device centre. I made the mistake of not enabling wifi and bt during the install so followed the CYGWIN instructions and have that working.

So the hardware is recognised by the device, but it is not detecting any wireless networks ... any help with be most appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuma24:
do you know if the recovery image is already setup on your phone? if you have modaco running I already I should imagine so

To check, switch of the phone and start it up again pressing down on the home and power button together, should say amon ra recovery image at the top I think

if you have the recovery image then:

Basically you need to download the ROM, rename it to Update.zip, copy it to your sd card, switch of the phone, power back on holding the home + power button.

Select to do a nandroid backup, then go in to wipe, wipe everything, then flash zip from sd card

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] manusfreedom:
I worked the last 3 days to find out a parameter to limit the effect of distance of 2 touch points on the screen.

You can make some test on a paint application (like TouchPaint). If you touch the bottom of the screen with one finger, touch the upper of the screen with another finger and release the first one the device understand a slide between both point and not two point independent. I think it's a driver problem (HTC or Microsoft). It will be a good idea to get a registry value of min/max distance to consider a move.

I got this problem on HD2, I want to know if others devices have got this problem or not.

And I would like to know if any body tried to create or modify the current touch driver?
