[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iandooley:
This looks like an excellent app.

Just a quick question (I've only ever installed free apps from the market :o)

If I pay for this app and validate/register it online using a Desire based android build, but then subsequently load a different build (maybe a nexus based one) will the app still install and work correctly?

Or will the app be seen as being transferred to another phone and refuse to work?

Thanks for any advice

Guys,

Please don't post warez or links to warez (see XDA rules).

I see alot of question from n1 users asking if the upgrade from n1 is a good choice. I also see alot comparison to the iPhone 4 and Nexus one. How come I don't see any comparison to the HTC Evo? Is the galaxy s not in the same level for comparison. I thing the galaxy is much better then the Evo. Lighter, brighter and faster. I mean running on eclair. I know now they had the froyo update. But I think once galaxy s gets froyo, this thing will fly. Even the just announced HTC desire HD/ace, will not compared to the galaxy s. Am I wrong for thinking this way? I just think galaxy s is a great android device. Then again just my thought. What you guys think.
[Captivate General] dewt:
Probably because the Evo is a CDMA phone and can't be used on ATT. Also, Sprint hasn't released their Galaxy S variant, so those guys don't have anything to compare yet!
[Captivate General] TexUs:
This thing, with the speed fix, utterly kills anything else on the market.

The N1 got about a 2x speed boost just from Froyo, so I'd expect a speed fix PLUS Froyo on this Galaxy S will be unstoppable.

Friend of mine has the Evo. It's high end along with the Droid X, etc... But the Galaxy S is just "the best" and the Evo can't top it.
[Captivate General] larryccf:
a "non-quantitative" comparison - a buddy came over yesterday and had his Evo 4G with him - and asked to play with the vibrant

when he first saw the display (i set up that live "waves" wallpaper), his jaw dropped - then i had him hit the avatar movie, for the hey of it - jaw stayed in the lowered position

he knew about the GPS problem we've been dealing with, but when i said -'now you know why i've been hoping / holding out for a fix to the gps problem", he understood

I know he left here weighing the cost of a changeout to Epic 4G when it hits spring

there's no comparison on display, none - and the speed ( i don't have a ton of apps installed so there's no lag) -

the UI, ie TouchWiz or whatever it's called, that's up in the air still but we'll see what 2.2 does
[Captivate General] TexUs:
LOL, I did the same thing with Avatar (loaded myself on the Captivate) to an iPhone user the other day.

The problem with the Epic 4G is it'll be bigger, heavier, bulkier than the other candybar variants.

I also didn't really notice much lag but I must say in-app performance is vastly improved with an EASY PIE lag fix that takes you two minutes (assuming you've got ADB working, etc). Push 3 files to it, then run 1 of them, reboot, done.
[Captivate General] novaIS350:
The better comparison would be the Evo vs The Samsung Epic, since these are both CDMA phones that run on Sprints network. But yes, I agree the Galaxy S line of phones are the cream of the crop hardware wise and don't get the attention like HTC or Apple devices.

With the exception for one's sotrware/ui preference, there is no comparison with the hardware. The Galaxy S is simply better.

question for droid 2 owners

I wonder if its possible for droid 2 owners to try this. Can you go to this website adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and see what version of flash it indicates that you are running. I am curious to see if it says whether your running 10.1.72.7 or like the application info states 10.1.72.7.10 . If it is running the second version then I wonder if its possible to extract this update. On the droid 2 in the stores if you look under application info the update to the adobe flash is not part of the system files. It actually shows as a downloaded update which leads me to believe that it might be possible to extract the apk update.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] backitude:
The media share link above seems to have been taken down or deleted as well. Can anyone out there still using a DROID 2 provide a dump of the system/app folder. I am trying to fix my friend's phone who still has a couple months left on his contract.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SEMC:
Can anyone who has done i9000 teardown confirm if this analysis is correct?

512MB SLC Nand, and (384MB LPDDR [2 piece 166Mhz Mobile DDR] + 128 MB Nand) OneNand, all packaged on a MPC with the PowerVr+Hummingbird core.

Then a 16GB piece MoviNand (samsung's version of MLC based eMMC), all manufactured by samsung.

If it's right, then all the galaxy s phones (i9000(m), vibrant, captivate.. etc) only have 512MB of true fast Nand rom, could be the cause of the lag issues.

Although I don't have a teardown of the Fascinate and Epic, I'd assume they are the same as the GSM versions, with the exception of a 1GB/2GB MLC nand replacing the 16GB MoviNand (ie. they have only 512MB SLC Nand too).

Samsung is very smart when it comes to lowering the BoM and ip costs in building this high spec android phone.

By comparison, SE Xperia X10 has a 2x512MB (1GB total) fast Micron SLC Nand rom, 3 piece 384MB of LPDDR (166Mhz, x16*2+x32) higher bandwidth than i9000's. Nand + Ram made by Micron (which makes superior ic's compared to samsung).

HD2, and Sprint Evo 4G all have the same MCP made by Hynix; Google Nexus One and Htc desire share a MCP made by samsung, even though they have different specified Ram amounts (512MB vs 576MB), could be caused by the different allocations of available OneNand?

It is very likely, that the minimum requirement for Android 3.o is not 512MB ram, but 512MB rom, (Android, like Maemo, is very good at memory management). I'd say that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is actually more "future proof" than the i9000, and the HTC phones released so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sdimezq8:
I'm curious too. I thought this phone had 512MB of RAM...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BackfireNL:
As described in the lag fix topics! is that they are not using slow nand but the filesystem is causing the lag!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Out of curiosity, what does your nickname stand for.. Sony Ericsson MC? There is a blog I noticed called SEMC.. I only ask because it clearly creates a conflict of interest for you to decide between both devices fairly.

NAND imho is considered to be flash, not RAM. Samsung officially said that they had 512MB RAM, and they seem to consider NAND to be flash too. In the case this unit didn't have 512MB LPDDR, it would mean they lied during the announcement: http://www.samsung.com/ph/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19925&gltype=globalnews , as the OneNAND/MoviNand site differentiates between flash and RAM too. I have emailed them though to ask specifically.

In regards to Micron vs Samsung RAM quality, to be honest, when working at an apple reseller, we didn't really have trouble with either. Both are fine, and Apple themselves went through various types of RAM (including Hynix and Samsung). We didn't notice any serious issues with either. Perhaps there is a difference when overclocking, but I hardly imagine anyone will use the phones after overclocking them much (although, someone already overclocked theirs to 1.6GHZ). Overclocking eats up battery life...

You forget that the i9000 has a MUCH faster GPU (90million triangles vs the X10 one), 802.11n, BT3 and REAL multitouch (if the SE gets multitouch, it will be a shonky hack with serious flaws that make it unusable for anything but pinching gestures). Where did you get your teardown specs from? Anyway, the truth of the matter, is that it depends what you need to do. But in almost any synthetic benchmark at the moment (not that they matter), Galaxy S is ahead.

It doesn't matter how great the X10 is anyway, because by the time it gets 2.1, Android 3 will probably be out. In fact, knowing Sony Ericson, you'll be lucky to get 2.2 (used to own a K750i, which was a W800 with crippled software, thanks Sony Ericcson). Honestly, Android 1.6 is close-to-ancient, and no developer is going to seriously buy a phone which runs such an old version of Android still (2.0, possibly, 2.1 yeah ok, 2.2... YAAAAAA).

So theoretically, maybe (I haven't seen the proof myself though). But, in reality, I'd expect the Galaxy S to have a longer useful timespan.. The X10 was announced 9 months ago. Google coded at least 2 major versions of Android within that time (and performed full QA too). So, the X10 is certainly NOT a phone I'd recommend. Whether or not it supports it, it is unlikely Sony ericsson will port Android 3 to it. They still haven't even ported Android 2.x to it yet, and it is their flagship Android mobile phone. And the X10 likely never attracted the kind of people who will port Android 3 by themselves, because they are also the kind of people who were unimpressed with the version of Android it shipped with.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Oh, and by the way, the lag likely isn't because of the RAM. There seems to be other factors at play (bad scheduling for instance would explain why GPS also goes funky sometimes, music skips at the beginning using doubletwist and the lag).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] applebook:
I think the OP was just using the Xperia for illustrative purposes. No one who has used both units will make a qualitative comparison between the X10 and the Galaxy S, which is in a different league.

Ultimately, it was not just Android 1.6 that made me sell my X10, but its horrible call quality, low 384Mb RAM (not so good for Gingerbread, which SE might never release anyway), and mediocre touch sensors that did it. It's a shame because with some tweaks, the X10 could have been spectacular. I do love its external design, 854x480 res., and excellent camera.

In Canada, the retail prices between the Galaxy S ($500) and the Xperia 10 ($550) are actually laughable. Rogers and SE will have to do a BIG price drop ASAP.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
You are correct.. Must have read the headline from Reddit or something dodgy.

Also, I don't think the poster is using the Xperia X10 as an example, because he posted the same message, but also on the Xperia X10 board.. By the sounds of things, he could be working on an article (in which case he should probably pull the phones apart himself), or it sounds a tad like marketing. Or possibly neither...

Saying that the X10 is ahead of the SGS is plain wrong, that device it self has NO support for multi-touch and wont be getting one anytime soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electrofreak:
Sorry to thread necro, but I'm from the Samsung Epic 4G forums and just ran across your thread because it was linked in an RFS vs EXT4 debate that's been raging for the last week or so.

I believe that you're close in your hardware analysis, the Galaxy S phones have 384 MB of LPDDR (I theorized DDR-400) but I believe instead of 128 MB of NAND, it's actually 128 MB of OneDRAM, which is a Samsung high-speed hybrid memory solution. I've seen teardowns that described a mystery NAND module and I'm pretty sure the OneDRAM is it.

Anyhow, here's my thread about it: I think it's likely that the I9000 uses more or less the same RAM configuration.

Sorry for bringing this up but it is the only revelant thread to my question..Along with the SGS I also have a Desire HD.I noticed in quadrant (I know it doesn't count but I'm just being curious) that in memory benchmark the SGS scores about 1800 points while the DHD 1000-1100..Assuming they're both equipped with LPDDR1 memory modules, what favours the SGS to have better performance? :)

I was working with a guy today that had the AT&T Galaxy S. We compared phones, and we both decided that the EVO is better. The screen does look a little better on the Galaxy, but the .3" screen size is more of a noticeable difference than the screen itself.

[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
I actually really, really, really want an Epic. Out of the Galaxy S phones, it has the most features. I guess I'm one of the few EVO owners that want a physical keyboard. I play emulators when I'm bored and I like typing with them (although I've learned to REALLY love swype). I also think the Epic is the best looking Galaxy S phone so far.

I don't see how you think it's a "toy" phone. Because of the weight? The Epic will be heavier than the other Galaxy S phones... and it's lighter because of the Super AMOLED screen. Other than that, it has most of the features, if not more than the EVO. And did you see it's benchmarks when overclocked to 1.2 Ghz? Holy **** balls....

The Epic is serious business. I can not wait :D But then... ya know... I'll have 2 phones. Weird....
[EVO 4G General] runner77:
Okay, the lady in the video states that the Epic can "video stream" and the EVO can not.

I've to TwonkyMedia Server on my phone and I stream to my Western Digital Live all the time. Isn't that the same thing???
[EVO 4G General] apinkel:
Yeah, that's a marketing piece, talking up the things the new device has, it's one-sided as marketing stuff typically is.

You can add DLNA support to the EVO but you can't add HDMI out to the Epic so in reality that's a win for the EVO.

I'm a bit surprised Sprint is marketing the EPIC this way but I'm wondering if they just can't get enough of the EVO to meet demand so they are pushing the EPIC. Pure speculation though...
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:

Meh, I'll stick with my Evo. Am sure the screen is nice, but I'm not a big movie watcher / game player so I wouldn't put it to good enough use. Evo screen looks more than fine for someone in my boat. Couldn't care less about physical KBs anymore, seeing as it is the year twenty-ten. :rolleyes:

But there is that hummingbird in there ... anyways, two formidable phones available from Sprint; I see it as more playing of the two demographics. There sure are KB heavy phone users still out there, so I could see this being attractive for some. Get yo' wiz touched!

I used a Vibrant over the weekend while waiting on my replacement EVO. It was a nice phone, I'd love to have that screen quality on my EVO, and it consistently scrolled smoother (damn you FPS cap!) but I was still glad to be rid of it and back to my EVO. I do expect that most users would like a galaxy just as much. And if you want a full KB, the Epic should be a home run.

You guys don't know the secret behind poking, huh? I used to do some facebook hacking before they cracked down on it. The thing is, when you poke someone, you have acess to a temporary page that displays information that would usually be private, including features. It's a stalker feature in fb for sure, but try it out. It's a great thing to do when you don't want to send a friend request but still want to stalk the person..\
