Looks good to me. But I had no issue with the original title either. :P

A great copyrighting idea just popped in my head-

Samsung can make a centeral update/app center for galaxy devices.

The name?

Hello,

Here is a little article about samsung vs apple, there is a nice section about production lines.

It's a Korean article transleted into English.

[too bad I'm new and can't post a link] To those still interested by the article, you can google search "askakorean apple vs samsung" first article!

It's maybe a bit out of context, but since you were talking about shortages.

If someone would be nice enough to post the link so it's easier for everybody :D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Interesting to read someones opinion, but that's all it is. My other half is Korean, and she, like I work in the electronics industry and we're both intimately aware of how Korean giants like Samsung operate, the key element in the Galaxy S isnt rapid turn around, its a change in corporate policy towards the design of the phone, by involving hundreds of potential users in the development stages.

I also disagree with his premise that the iPhone 4 is a 'great' product. I've had a play with an iPhone 4 and I think it suffers from Form over Function. It's actually a little uncomfortable in the hand. It may be made from glass and steel and look great, but such hard materials with squared off edges and profiles doesn't sit right in your hand.

The objects we most commonly hold in our hands are cups/mugs, pens and computer mice. They're rounded and softened, ok household mugs are ceramic from a practical materials aspect, but even a travel mug has a rubberized grip.

I just don't get the hysteria over the IP4, when I look at it I do see a photogenic object, but I also see a design fail.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Leaving the comfortability issue aside, i'm bothered by the durability aspect.

Using superhardened glass may be good against scratches, but without a shock absorbing frame of some sort, the harder the galss- the more prone to shattering it will be, and harder glass shatters more catastrophically.

"regular" hardness glass usually gets cracks or little shattered points.

Superhardened galss- it's "all or nothing". Either nothing hapeens, or it shatters completely.

Deciding to put the glass ON the frame instead of IN the frame (like previous iPhones) was a much bigger design flaw than the less-round corners IMO.

I'm hearing a lott of buzz about samsung using mostly plastic, and how "inappropreate" it is for a super high-end device, but from a pratical viewpoint-

It's durable, it's cheap and easy to replace it's comfortable, and it doesn't block reception as much as more expensive materials.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Indeed, my BlackBerry is plastic, and that's never been an issue.

More than 300K units in south korea alone, speculations talk about 700K-900K devices worldwide.

Maybe the sheer amounts of devices sold would motivate samsung to give us proper future support.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] quekou:
i just bought this x7501 with wm6.0, spl-v1.10, the image version was 2.19.453.3. i wanted to upgrade to wm8.1 so I was using Athena Unlocker trying to unlock my x7501 and the first step went okay. Then the diaster stroke when i pressed flash radio at the second step. message says it can not connect to my device. after that, i cannot turn on my x7501, it almost looked like all power has lost. when i press slide down + reset, it goes into restore factory page but when i press action key, i was told to press power button to power up, but when i press the power button, screen just goes black. when i press camera button all the way down + reset, i can see the colorful screen but then it just says loading and stay that way...help me, people, i can't use this brick as my pillow. i need it as a pda...thank you very much. sorry about my not good english.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
remove your sd card and sim card and try again.

when you see the three colour screen wat SPL is being reported?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] quekou:
thank you. it worked. the spl says 1.20. i flashed the origional rom shipped found in the forum to my device. it's alive now.

i have another quesiont if you are kind to asnwer me. when i call x7501 from othe phone, i can hear the ring tone but the x7501 doesn't ring or show incoming calls. well, there are a couple of times, right before the the calling goes into voice mail, the x7501 showed incoming calls but just in a split of seconds, there is no way a human could possibly take the call not even a kungu master. why? do i need to upgrade my radio.? i have no probablem making calls . my current radio rom i think is 1.47. wha't's my next move. thank you. guys, you people are good.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
sounds like either a phone network setting or some setting on your phone

flash radio 1.57 to allow later roms but I don't think this will fix your current problem
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] quekou:
i upgraded the radio to 1.57 following other threads found somewhere here.

One thing i found about x7501 is the wifi is very weak. it loses wifi connection even when i go up stairs (access point is downstairs) while my other wifi enable devices (htce t3333 and my ipod) still have a solid connection. is this common among x7501 or it is just my x7501. thank you. also, another quesiont kind of not related to Rom, there is a slight scratch across the screen of my x7501, is there anyway to get read of it. i just receieved the 5 inch protector today, i want to remove the scratch before i put the film on it. thank you again.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hdbueller:
I have an X7500 and the wifi on it is very good! I can even be outside my house in my detached garage,and it works.

Also, depending on which screen protector you just got, you may not need to even bother with the scratch.... ;) Mine made the scratches disappear completely! It is a Clear Protector brand, but the Zagg is the same.

Later
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] quekou:
i put the film on without doing much on the scratch. you are right, the film made the scratch almost gone. only from a certain angle, you can still tell a subtle hint, but that doens't bother me. thank you. the wifi is strange. i have 1.57 radio flashed to my x7501 too, but the connection is awful. well, i don't know. i installed garmin gps xt on it, the GPS reception is better than my standalone Garmin 260w. it's just the wife sucks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hdbueller:
Glad that worked to help hide the scratch. I don't know what to tell you about the wifi.Have you tried doing the dreaded hard reset yet? I actually have always done 2 complete hard resets right after flashing a new rom.

Hey guys,

Hi I am using Energy's latest room with google map 4.1. Do you know how can i set google maps to english? because it always gets the info from the regional settings and changes it's language to that. But i wanna keep my regional settings on what it's set, and set google maps english.

I searched the forum and some people said this could be done by deleting the language file, but couldn't find the language file for GM 4.1.

Any chance to do that? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] starrayfly:
nobody could help :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] xi.lin:
I have the same problem and i found a solution is to change the i18 file in app data directory. But for chinese the region i set, it doesn't work...

Still try to find a method.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
+1 to that. It's possible by hex editing the Application data, but I have never succeeded.
[Desire General] cirian75:
Lucky for me I still mainly buy CD and not downloads

So, how to I copy my CD's via my win7 pc to desire complete with album art work?
[Desire General] Aitese:
I've tried two options.

One is doubleTwist

The problem I have with it is it's slow at times, especially when starting and the initial sync with your device. It also handles tagging for compilation albums very poorly. For example I have a Motown album. Obviously there is no main album artist, and each track has an artist. In iTunes there are separate fields for Album artist and Track artist. doubleTwist can't parse this data and creates an album on your sd card for EACH and every artist it finds. So rather than my folders being organised as on my PC like Artist>Album>tracks, with this Motown album being found in Various Artists>Motown 50>tracks, I ended up with dozens of extra artists each with their own album called Motown 50. So there would be a Stevie Wonder folder...he'd have an album called Motown 50...then there'd be a Marvin Gaye folder and he'd have an album called Motown 50 too. SO as you can imagine the Album view on the media player looked a mess! There's also a complimentary Android app in the market which is actually much better than the built in music player. You also don't have to use the desktop app to use the Android app so give that a spin either way.

Next option is MediaMonkey

Now this is much better. It not only helps you organise your music, allowing for tags that even iTunes doesn't handle, but it will fetch album art for albums you don't have them for...as well as tag info for tracks you haven't tagged. The downside is it's not the most user friendly of apps. I got a few settings wrong and it scattered my music in random locations all over my SD card...it was hell to clean up. It managed to maintain my albums and tagging though. You just have to be very careful with it.
[Desire General] GrenW:
I use MediaMonkey to manage my mp3 library and to sync with my mp3 player. Not the prettiest of programs and sometimes not that intuitive when you first start to use it buit its very powerful - free too unless you want it to rip mp3s for you then you gotta pay for the Gold edition. You can though always use another ripper.

For my Desire though I just copy and paste the files to the SD card. MediaMonkey has already sorted out all the tags and album art for me so those are part of the file copied. I find it's far easier this way.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
why can you just do what I do , copy them over in HDD mode , or even take out the Mme card and copy them over , and add a jpg to the folder where the album is .. eg album called wham be in a folder called wham with wham artwork as a small jpg... easy ...
[Desire General] cirian75:
works well
[Desire General] @MARK:
On a Win7 PC you have everything you need without installing any other software

Open up Windows Media Player and use that to BURN the CD. This will create a WMA (go for the WMA lossless option if you want the best quality) file.

Windows Media Player will automatically identify the CD, download track and album info and even the album art information if you want.

You can now start creating playlists. These are lists of tracks/albums that you add to.

Now connect your Desire in HDD mode. Media Player will take you through the sync process and allow you to choose which playlists to sync.

Now everytime you connect your Desire to your PC and run Windows Media Player, it will automatically sync your playlists to your device where you can then listen.

For some reason, most people forget about Windows Media player yet for a non iTunes user it is probably the best solution out there because it does the sync part so well
[Desire General] cirian75:
@ mark

works brilliantly
[Desire General] Sideburnt:
Im going to go against the grain and NOT recommend Media Monkey (although I do love the program) it just isn't reliable for ID3v1 tags.

Use whichever program you want to rip the mp3, there's a host of free software out there on 30 day trial, or limited use, all of which will do the job.

Use Tag Clinic (currently 4.3)

to fix your tags, use only ID3v1 tags, strip out any id3v2 tags (there are two seperate views for the two tag version in Tag Clinic, which is what makes it better and simpler than other software.)

Also only use the id3v1 generes that are available int he dropdown list, this I found as the only way to get reliable genres to stick.

Add jpegs of your album art to each folder, keep the dimensions less than 300px X 300px otherwise some players will not show it, regardless as to whether the file is available. also call the jpg, folder.jpg. (this is where media monkey IS helpful as you can copy an image from google images and paste it into the album art preview window and select 'save a copy to the folder as folder.jpg'

you should be all set, this I've learned after piddling around for hours trying to get MixZing to work with my SD music collection. I've read all the posts and made a few discoveries on my own.

Until ID3v2 tags are recognised (or recognised in parallel with ID3v1 tags) then this is the only way to get your collection showing properly.
[General Questions and Answers] iedoc:
I have an HTC touch Dual, windows mobile 6.5. I have a 16gb micro sd inside of it and everything was going pretty well. then today after taking some pictures and messing around with windows media player mobile, things went strange on my memory card. first i noticed none of my songs on windows media player would work. then i looked for them using total comander or whatever, and thats when i saw the strange files and folders. they are mostly system folders appearently, and i cannot delete them. All my programs installed on the card still work, and pictures i have on the card are still there (not the ones i took with the camera), in fact, the only thing that seems to be missing is my roms folder with all my emulator roms, and my music folder with all my music. this is a list of what i have on the card now:

6 empty "file folders" named "." (just a period, guessing they call it a "file folder because they are unsure what it is, but it does have the folder icon) they are all 0 bytes

a "file folder" called "┘kφ$╥M╞.¬√½", 0 bytes

another "file folder" called "║h88Ω*.***" also 0 bytes

another one called "î┤I¬U¡R.┼Xπ" 0 bytes

Then i have my images folder with all my images uploaded for backgrounds (not my camera pictures), program files, DCIM (which is now empty but i used to have all the pictures and videos from my camera), movies folder, pleco folder (chinese dictionary), and "my voices" which are the recordings i've done.

Now the best parts

a ╥¼ File called "╥/ê≤}.	╥¼" which is 2.85GB (Must be the roms)

a JQ File called "╝µï½ƒ0.Jq" which is 3.60GB (must be all my music because this is how much i uploaded to the card)

and a ∩ File called "▓φα¡d≥c.∩" which is 2.71GB (and this one might be all my videos and pictures from my camera, but that seems like a lot and i don't remember having that many pictures)

So obviously my data is still here, but its just crammed into these unknown files. It's not like i really care about all the music and that stuff, I would have just deleted these files if it would have let me, but it won't let me at all. I really would hate to reformat my entire card because of all the programs i've installed and i don't want to go through all of that again... unless now that i'm thinking about it, i could just backup my program files then reformat my card. i'll probably try this. anyway, i don't have anywhere else i can put my micro sd card, just my phone, so if anybody has any idea whats happened to this darn thing, please let me know! thank you very much!
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
Your sd card is corrupt. Try to scan it (either on the device w/ pocket mechanic, sk tools or something similar), or connect in disk drive mode to a pc and scan it that way (right click on the drive-F: or whatever-then select properties-tools-fix errors). If scanning doesn't work (do it several times if it does), then you're screwed. Copy every file you can to your pc (one folder @ a time), then format the card. It will probably be fine after the format.

Next: change the save path on the camera, and pretty much every thing else, to main memory. Having crap written quickly to the card all the time can cause corruption. Scan frequently, at least once a week, if not more. Do not have temp folders located on the card. Really, really do not have a custom SIP on the card. Just try to use the card for storage, but not as main memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AshMa:
Why the heck can't we get it all in one device?! The Verizon SGS is by far the best looking of all versions of the SGS. The iPhonish chrome lining of the SGS is painted black on the Verizon SGS = a better look. The Verizon rear is also changed with an all black dotted design, rather than that awful blue dotted design. The Verizon also has a flash and even though there is no front facing camera, I'm totally good with that because I'm not hooked on Apple. I mean lets be real here; folks didn't give a dang about front facing cameras in the U.S. until Apple put one on the iPhone. FFC's have been around for years in Europe (HTC HD and many others) and we didn't miss them then.

Okay so what's wrong with the Verizon SGS? Well it only comes with 2GB of storage memory rather than 16GB like the ugly ATT SGS. Why oh why could they not give it to us all in one package.......

just add a 32gb SD card and you have your all in one device? galaxy is limited to 1.8gb of local apps storage anyway. Froyo will let you have it on SD I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AshMa:
I was hoping to rid myself of my iPod Classic (16GB Internal + 32GB Micro SD Card). Large music and audiobook collection......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heygrl:
The Galaxy S has way more internal memory enabling it to have 1.8GB for apps and stuff. The Fascinate has far less internal memory... 2GB total. All to make room for a flash. The Epic also suffers from the same fate. The Captivate and Vibrant will have the 16GB touted with the intl. version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Deleted member 2351944:
I had not read that the Fascinate had an LED flash.

Sold. I have been on the fence about the HTC Incredible (I do like the Sense UI overlay) vs. the Galaxy S.

I am not concerned about the internal storage - I only have about 15gb of music, so a 32gb card provides me pretty substantial overhead. It irked me that there was no flash on the Galaxy S, though, as it seems like such an easy and useful feature to add.

I agree that front-facing cameras do not excite me. I don't take self-portraits and have zero interest in on-the-fly face-to-face phone chats.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sec1has:
Registered just to respond to this thread. Completely agree with OP. I'm currently with Verizon, their version of SGS looks better, but hate that it only has 2gb on board. You can never go wrong with having more memory. Fast 32gb cards are what an extra $100, plus with 16gb already on board, the Tmo version has potentially more total storage by adding a 32gb card to it. Even if I only have 18gb of music now, how can I know what I'll have in the future? Video podcasts? Movies? Recorded video and pictures? Having the ability to swap memory cards is an awesome feature, but the less I have to do it the better.

Considering jumping to Tmo and the uglier design for the added memory and HSDPA. Torn.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AshMa:
Here's the gallery of Verizon SGS images that had me sold as far as the looks go and you can see the flash in a few of the images: http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-verizon-fascinate/

I left T-Mobile after trying the HD2 for a couple of months and 3G wasn't available enough in some areas for me. Verizon seems to be the best network for me in my area and travels, so I'd like to go back to them (currently on Sprint with the Evo). The look of the Evo is very nice and so leaving it for an SGS version that just doesn't appeal to my eyes the way the Evo does, was on my list of cons. But Verizon's SGS can take care of that.

I may just have to end up holding onto the iPod to store all of my music and audiobooks. And then just sync playlists of my most wanted music/audiobooks to my smartphone. Guess I'm still dreaming of an all in one superphone (128GB storage, Canon quality camera, etc).........

heygrl, I noticed your speed test results in your sig. Was that in the LA area? If so, what's your overall coverage/speed like in socal?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacGuy2006:
Hm, I had seen the blue back in some review photos, but my (Asian?) Galaxy S is all black, and IMO has better design and finish than the EVO.

I walked into Best Buy ready to buy the EVO, but when compared to my iPhone 3Gs, it seemed poorly made. On the other hand, after ordering the Galaxy S sight unseen from Ebay, I am reasonably happy with its built.

I was planning to dump AT&T and get T-Mobile, but data is a real issue on T-Mobile in LA.

On AT&T, I see "H" and just measured 1817kbps down, 1088 up.

If I insert my new T-Mobile SIM card, I see "E" and barely get 60-70 kbps down, and low 100s up.

What APN settings are people using for T-Mobile?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tdusen:
AT&T 3g and Tmobile 3G are on different frequencies. You have one compatible with AT&T. You'll only see edge speeds on TMobile with that phone.

Also... I don't understand the complaints about the look of the Captivate vs the original SGS. I prefer the Captivate. I think the SGS looks too much like an iPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Morbo66:
European Galaxy S doesn't have 1700 band. It doesn't work on Tmobile's 3g network. It will only work with AT&T's 3g network. You need to buy the Vibrant if you want to see Tmo's HDSPA speeds.

PC magazine did a review earlier this year of all carriers' data speeds, for LA, they gave Tmo the highest score (combined raw speed with reliability).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] larryccf:
that was one of the reasons i returned my HD2 - side by side with my MyTouch 3G, the HD2 kept jumping from 3G > EDGE and back to 3G, while the MT3G showed strong and steady 3G signal (not reading the bars, but going into that #*#*4636*#*# access and reading the signal strength

figured it had same issues as the nexus one, weak antenna or radio chip
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heygrl:
I'm not in Los Angeles, but I hear favorable things.. still some 3G coverage holes to be dealt with this year

Has to be, because it was pathetic to see this phone drop 3G constantly. Sure, the 3G signal *was* weak but the only phone to drop out (when held of course) was the HD2.
