New Zealand your neightbourd carries the 850 version straight off Samsung website, hopefully it's unlocked, as i'm planning to get a 850 as well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Benjamin Dobell:
Thanks. I did notice that thread however, it's actually why I started this one. I just figured it would be a good idea to have a central place for people to upload information. So we can compare between resellers and learn a bit about the devices from each reseller once people get them in their hands.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I'm looking forward to see results from the New Zealand model, and Bell.

I'll try to pick up one tomorrow from Bell and see if it works, and if we can unlock it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sl8125:
@All Gamer: Are you going to have the phone unlocked? Even though you still in the Bell network.

I be checking in everyday for this.

I also noticed that the model number for this unit is actually i9000. Is the CA and NZ model names are i9000 with quad band? or different like the us version of i897 and t959. Just wondering if they were different then the Euro Version.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
inside the phone, after you take out the battery it's a GT-i9000M

firmware was something J?5 (forgot the middle letter)

the Euro/Asia version is GT-i9000

they actually finally revealed the updated page, 2 weeks ago it didn't have the Tech Spec yet

http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
oh wow! i just noticed something that i overlooked previously

check this out!!!

UMTS + GSM（850/900/1800/1900MHz）

http://www.samsung.com/hk/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification

that is the Asia version of the GT-i9000 (same as Euro) but!!! it has both the 850+900+1900 band, but missing the 2100 band (which i don't really care as in America we don't have much use for the 2100, 90% of the network in USA/Canada is 850+1900)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'm on Fido...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
No idea about the CA model, but the NZ model is the same as the european just with the different radio bands but no ideas about when it will be released, I emailed samsung NZ asking about it but no response yet. All phones sold in NZ are unlocked even apples's iphone 4 which has an exclusive contract with vodafone here is sold unlocked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
interestingly enough the Asia version also has different radio than the NZ version, the NZ has 2100 band, but the Asia one doesn't in its place it keeps most of the lower bands

according to Wikipedia, seems like the only country that uses 2100 is Brazil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequency_bands

why would cell phones sold in Europe/NZ ship with that band?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pizzachips:
dunno...

anyways @ AllGamer, where are you in canada?

i get decent 3g coverage in the GTA...unless i'm in a basement and some houses...

also how's your gps?

works fine for me everywhere i've tested... haven't had any issues with locking

longest i've taken i think is like 30 seconds for a lock outdoors

and that was from a cold start after i flashed a new rom
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MKVFTW:
- Bell Store (full price, non-customer)

- Medicine Hat, Ab, Canada

- $499.99+ tax

- 2.1update1 firmware

- I9000UGJG9 baseband

- Locked

I have been having a hell of a time finding anywhere that will unlock these. I am with rogers and i want to unlock it to use with them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
for 3G

2100 is used here in NZ by vodafone but 2100 is used in loads of countries mainly through europe I think.

http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

and best way to get detailed info on what a country uses is here

http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=NEW+ZEALAND
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
no problem as well, that's why i don't know why so many people are complaining about the GPS and "lag"

coming from Windows Mobile, this "lag" is nothing, GPS takes average 5~15 sec to pick up depending on weather, my old phone it takes 5 min to 1 hour to pick up

and waiting for the Windows software to load was always like an eternity, that's why iphone got so famous, because windows mobiles devices have always been slow, and i'm sure it will continue to be slow even with the same CPU, cuz my old phone was a 625Mhz CPU, and still didn't cut it, i OCed it to 650Mhz and it was not much better, but definitely noticeable... anyways.... the SGS i9000 is a dream to use.

GTA as well, 3G is mostly fine in most areas, but sometimes when you are down in the subway (the stations with open tunnels) it can't pick up 3G only G or Edge, and some parking lots

it is more a concern about traveling as, drive around Ontario/Quebec quite a bit, having the 850 band is a safety & bonus.

so if the new one from Bell works, i'll sell the UK i9000 version (sill in stock firmware but rooted)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
thanks for the info man.

is that a demo one, or you purchased it already?

the past 2 days i've been trying to buy one to study it in detail, with no luck, as the sales guys didn't want to sell me their "demo" units
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dandarebr:
Brazil will have a 850/1900/2100 3g version next month. It will also have digital TV.

Just one little issue: Price! It will cost US$ 1400.00
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
So most people in Brasil will never be able to afford it then or do you have 20 year contracts over there with carriers? :)

TV... meh, I think most people just stream tv/movies now on demand..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that is the Korea version, the Korean version comes with the DTV

but wow! at $1400 that's a bit too much, specially for people living in Brazil :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
I think you will find brasil is getting a version with tv also.

or are you just meaning they are getting the same model?

I still cant get over that price though.. seems insane....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dandarebr:
You tell me...

But the worst think is: There are thousands of users trying to buy the phone. The only reason Samsung sells the phone at this price is because there are people stupid enough to buy it. If no one purchases the phone, Samsung would have to lower its price.

The Brazilian version also will have Digital TV. We use a different standard than the Korean Version. We use a variant from the Japanese Digital TV.

BTW: Few more facts:

The 3GS 32 GB IPhone sells for US$ 1500,00 WITH an annual plan of US$ 300 monthly fee.

You should see the price we pay for our cars… how about US$ 37.000 for an old version of the Tucson with no accessories? (The same USA model from 4 year ago). The new Tucson model (Hyunday sells the both models at the same time here in Brazil like they were different models. Call one "Tucson" and the other "IX35") with ABS, Air Bag cost US$ 68.000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dandarebr:
Insane is to live in a country where companies charges THAT for a phone. That's why I asked a friend of mine to bring me one from USA.

Sometimes I think that the only way to fix Brazil is to thow everything away and try to build the country again from scratch. :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
That's the way most countries get "fixed". :)

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] MoreGone:
Hello, hopefully this easy an easy question but I just rooted and installed CM6 last night, loving Chrome to Phone and some of the other froyo goodness. Just not feeling the off white status bar/ notifications area. Is there a simple way to change this, not really interested in a full theme with icons and all that if it isnt necessary.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Oddity:
If you just want a solid black background, go to Settings>CyanogenMod settings>User Interface>Notifications colors and scroll down to "Custom notification bar". From there you can choose any color you want. It may require a reboot to take effect.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] MoreGone:
Exactly what I was needing, thank you

Haven't used cyanogen since I had my g1, second android phone since then lol
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] uminchu:
I've tried this, set it for black and rebooted, but the status bar is still white. The Bar Color setting shows a solid black circle in the middle with a hex value of #ff00000, but the status bar is still black characters on a white bar. Am I doing this wrong?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] R1lover:
Black is

#000000

White is

#ffffff

what you posted above is nothing.... but you might have typed a few too many 0 on it... if so then ff0000 is red.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xeno314:
Has anyone compiled a set of command line utilities for Android more robust than BusyBox? Coming from an iPhone, I love Android and its hackability, but I'm surprised that I haven't seen more about command line tools like the BSD Subsystem packages that provide common utils on the iPhone.

It would be incredibly convenient for me (and others, I would think) to have a more complete set of commands available. I know that some have compiled bash for Android, though I haven't seen an installable version of that either.

Any insights?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jrfox:
Android command line utilities archive

I maintain an archive of useful command line utilities at vkfox"dot"com"slash"android and a blog at androidcommandline"dot"apps-1and1"dot"com that describes installation and use for the NON-ROOT terminal emulator user. Included are a properly compiled busybox, popular command line interpreter/compilers (tcl, nodejs, d8, pforth, squirrelfish javascript, php-cli, python, perl, java, pforth, etc.), utilities (grep, strace, gdb, ctags, links, etc.) and other things in which I have an interest. I also describe in the blog how to use dalvikvm without root to compile and execute java and provide dexed versions of the eclipse java compiler and other java utilities for this purpose.

Other places where you can get properly (NDK) compiled tools are the applications CCTools, Terminal IDE, and other terminal based developer apps.

Use at your own risk, and don't point the gun at your own feet.

An Official Fix is now currently available for those that applied the leaked Froyo update (3.26.651.3).

Confirmed, just now got off the phone with a third party Sprint Repair Center in Downtown Miami, she checked her email just now and confirmed. She is currently downloading the "fix" and will call me back when she has it, for me to bring my phone for her to apply it.

NOTE: She didn't know about it, until i mentioned it to her. YMMV

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beejis:
On every single rom with 2.2 (besides cyanogens) I have tried (tried baked, fresh, ava, a sensless one etc. none of my apps give me the option to move them to the sd card (they are all greyed out). What can I do to remedy this problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeno314:
My understanding is that the devs have to enable this functionality in their apps before the official channels will allow it. So, until devs submit an update or change things in their Market accounts, the option will be greyed out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beejis:
So I am not the only one with this issue then? Is it because the source for 2.2 hasn't been released yet?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iangelkovski:
Hello, I have this problem. When I press the answer key, the phone thinks i press the left hardware key. When i press the left hardware key, it acts normal. The other buttons are fine. Is this a hardware or software related issue? Please let me know. I'd like to know what the problem is before I take it to T-Mobile.
[HD2 General] The_wolf88:
Hello..

I have HTC HD2 from T-Mobile and recently I was searching here and there for software updates and I found one on T-Mobile..

The problem is I'm from Bahrain and I bought the mobile through ebay and of course it was unlocked when I received it..

My question is: Can I use this software update with my Unlocked T-Mobile HD2 or not ? Is there any problem will occur to my mobile? if I update the software like the software will lock the mobile ? Thanks in advance.. :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it will be fine, and no, it will not re lock the phone.
[HD2 General] The_wolf88:
Thanks for reply..

So there will be no problems in flashing the device !

Then what the use of (HSPL) ?

I read that HSPL have to be installed before flashing HD2 ! What the use of HSPL ?
[HD2 General] The_wolf88:
I got it now !

After searching here and there about HSPL I found what is used for !

Basically it is used to flash custom Roms to HD2 !
[General Topics] orb3000:
Thanks for your comparative report!
[Desire General] al89nut:
Anyone else get this? Can you try please?

If I start up the GPS from settings (or the power widget) I don't get the little notification icon (the one that looks like a satellite dish) on the bar at the top of the home screen (or it only appears for a second then goes.)

However, if GPS is enabled and I start up maps, navigation or something like Wikitude, then the notification does display (and the app instantly gives me my location.)

Was it always so? I have a memory that under 2.1 when turned on, it displayed the notification icon when no relevant app was used and indeed of it telling me no GPS lock as I was indoors? So has it gone from a "Select On" state (in which it was enabled and notification was shown even if no app requiring it was enabled) to a sort of "background mode" in which it only shows the notification (and thus actually works?) if an app which requires it is used?

But aren't there uses for location that aren't to do with actual apps?
[Desire General] al89nut:
Someone? Press that button and tell me if the notification flag shows if you aren't in an app.
[Desire General] benman27:
The notification only comes up if an app is requesting a location.

This was the same in 2.1 although most of the time when you start the gps, it's from within the app rather than in settings so the location is requested immediately.
[Desire General] koichirose:
Hi,

as far as I remember it was like this on 2.1, too.

And I think it's right, you activate GPS and when it's actually used you get notified.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Most definitely you are nuts.

And totally contrary to overall standing of the devices. iTrash is at #3 position in market share, Android is at #1. Maybe people are tired of Jobs' public temper tantrums?
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
I'm just going to leave this picture right here...
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
Go cut some grass, little boy. Most apps average around what? Life 2 - 5 dollars? Are you really so pathetic that you have to rip off people for a buck or two? Seriously, that's probably the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.
[G1 General] sinistersai4d4d:
I'm not going to defend myself. I was giving an honest opinion. I'm a loyal Android supporter but I can give credit where credit is due. I feel that the iPhone 2g has stood the test of time more than the G1. I'm not saying anything about the companies behind them... basing this purely on software and hardware TODAY as compared to when they came out.

I respect you're guys opinions and passion.
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
I was just saying your pathetic because you have to pirate 2 dollar apps. Fact is, no one wants your opinion. Hopefully, you'll get the hell off Android. No one needs a leech. People work damn hard to develop in their own time for NOTHING and people like you make them waste that time.

And the iPhone sucks. Thank god I bought the iLevitate app so I don't loose service anymore.
[G1 General] flobin:
Wow, there are some horribly fanboyish responses in this thread. What you wrote was your honest opinion and while I may disagree with it, I have to respect it.
[G1 General] sinistersai4d4d:
I also download movies online for free. Have a nice day :cool:
[G1 General] FlyboyT:
Thanks for a great review and comparison. We can hate Apple all we want, but they definitely forced Google and phone makers to step up their game big time or go home.And we're finally all benefitting as I Swype this on my new Samsung Captivate!!

And in real money, $50 with no contract is hard to beat if money is tight and you want the most for a limited pot of money. Or your phone took a swim and you can't renew your contract yet. Or you're saving up to buy a Galaxy S. I could live with the 2G mentioned above for a few months if I had to-maybe with a case that disguised what it was. :-)
[G1 General] sinistersai4d4d:
Thanks, yeah I'm holding out for the HTC Blaze/Vision myself. It's like the Galaxy but with a keyboard (Similar to the Epic in that sense but for T-Mobile). The G1 definitely made me appreciate a good keyboard. Sadly, I feel that 5 row boards are a dying breed in the mobile computing world.
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
LOL! Do you actually feel good about not being able to afford a movie? Thanks, I needed that laugh.
[G1 General] tribalartgod:
The part that makes me giggle is this post in general. It's not a VALID comparison between 2 pieces of hardware.

It's a comparison based on personal preference. Therefore, whether you are an Android supporter or an Apple supporter, this argument is biased and therefore invalid.

What it all boils down to is this...

Apple has great products. (I do not use them at all...ever!)

However, they are proprietary.

It's very easy to make a single product line that kills in performance, battery life, etc. when you have been working on it FOR YEARS!!!

Now...here is the kicker. Android gives you choices!

You are not bound by chains to that one device that looks like everyone elses.

And now the icing on the cake.... are you ready for this??? I don't think you are...

Ok, I'mma break your heart now...you ready?

Look how far Android has come in it's current lifespan -vs- Apple and it's lifespan.

Once you think about those points right there... Apple doesn't stand a chance!

I can keep going with this, but I won't. The last thing I ask that you do is this...

Do some research on ACTUAL hardware comparisons.

I respect the fact that you gave your opinion...But in doing so, you swayed from being "opinionated" to trying to use opinions as facts.
[G1 General] sinistersai4d4d:
Nah, this was pretty much entirely based on opinion and I think that was fairly obvious. The aforementioned "choices" were referenced when I stated how much I prefer the physical keyboard of the G1 to the iphone's keyboard... also when I said I was holding out for the HTC Vision.

And lol @ a "personal preference" comparison being invalid. I think the fact that I actually USE the first (released) iOS device and the first Android device is the only criteria necessary to make an opinion valid. My opinion isn't based on anything other than the devices themselves.

[G1 General] saddle_point:
Great write up to the original poster, very informative to people either side of the fence. I am a G1 user for (almost 5 years) with little experience about Apple, and your post has helped me understand what the other side is like.

However, I would have done a comparison using Opera Mini, the browser is a great addition to the G1 without which I would have dumped the phone long ago.

I flashed my flash, and now I can remember what the app was called! :o I do remember its icon was a little green lock unlocked on the left side. Can someone help a brother out and point me in the right direction?

Market Access
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JRock80:
The app is called my market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dc41:
Thanks for the suggestions, but neither of these is what I had downloaded. The app I was using was black-themed, had three tabs, and let you apply different 6 digit carrier codes. It didn't access the Market itself. You still used the Market App, but the third option at the top was no longer AT&T... it was "downloads". It would also allow you to backup values, etc.

Anyone?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
Market Enabler (another Program) and Market Access BOTH do this, however, Market Access allows for you to spoof on Boot, so that you essentially only need to spoof once.

http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess

Please from now on, use the search tool on the forums. I found the answer in 2seconds by searching "Market Restrictions"

-Dave
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dc41:
Thanks Dave, but I was using the search function (and google) quite heavily with no luck. The key word I was missing was "Restrictions". I was using things like carrier codes spoofing, market carrier, etc and spending a lot of time looking in the different Markets themselves.

Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure the scolding was necessary. :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
Did not mean for it to be harsh, just adding in as a suggestion, i guess re-reading it, it came off a little hard. My apologies. Thats defiantly the app you want to use for this though ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dc41:
No problem! You could call me a mutha***** a**hole, etc. and I'd still do the "We're not worthy" bow as long as you pointed me to the right app! :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
well your not worthy to my almighty skills ..........just playing...no problem, hope that app works out for you ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pantsmessiah:
You've probably found it, but I think you are looking for Market Enabler.

It's icon is a green "ME" in front of paper bag. It has 3 tabs: "Actual", "Settings list", and "Set custom"

Thanks for the suggestion for Market Access warri, it'll be nice having it happen automatically.
