[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakphone:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I had tried that already and it did not work. I don't think it is just my cellphone. There are many comments re the HD2 that make it clear that it does not work with a Parrot handsfree carkit, Motorola S9 headset etc, and the 2 earlier posts reveal problems using WiFi too. It seems to be problematic on many fronts. I cannot even connect it using Windows Mobile via an USB port! And while I appreciate all suggestions it seems to me that this model is a (very expensive) lemon and frustrates huge numbers of owners. I find it odd that a 2 year old Nokia N95 can connect and browse instantly and a 'smart phone' doesn't work at all. I find it to be very gimmicky. I don't need twitter, facebook etc. I need voice dial, good PC software (like Ovi and PC suite) and bluetooth that works etc. The HD2 has none of this, but great graphics of a windscreen wiper, exactly the sort of pointless gimmick that reveals that the designers were interested in making a toy and not a useful phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itamar:
I suggest you try and install "HTC_Wi-Fi_onDemand_by_Krocher". This program will always use wifi when available and stop the GPRS from connecting and will also keep your wifi on a stand-by. Please do read through the thread as you have to make sure that no programs using wifi are activated when you want it to be off. For me it solved several problems with wifi.

Second thought is to upgrade to one of the much more stable and already tweaked OS's. There are quite a lot out and you'll find everything about that on this forum as well.

Last thought, if it does not work it must be something to do with either the settings or the OS version as for others it works absolutely fine. These are complicated phones that, much like computers, must be set and tweaked to the correct settings in order to get the best out of them. If you just want a "buy and run" phone this is not the one.

Success,

Itamar

[Galaxy S I9000 General] freelo123:
I'm new to the forums. I can't decide yet which phone should i choose. Though i know here is Galaxys forum, but i'm glad to listen to your advices.

1.Screen SAMOLED VS 4.3 inch

2.GPU 540>530 I9000 is better But i wanna know how 540 much better than 530. Is that a large gap or just small?

3.Do you think that i9000 looks like a iphone? Droid x looks much better than i9000 Just outward appearance.

4.What about the cpu?

Plz help me to make a choice between two good devices THX a lot~~
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
errrrrhhhhhh... it double posted
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
now this is what i call a decent debate

I personally would not choose the Moto Droid X even though it is slightly superior to SGS i9000

because the shape of the phone is really akward, it's not slick in design.

also the first release is only on CDMA

they are not planning a GSM release until much later this year or next year, so that was out of the question.

I needed a phone now.

so the SGS i9000 was the obvious choice for me

but if you can wait, and you don't mind the ackward square pregnan Boxed design, and you don't need GSM then Droid X is the better phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
How is the Droid X superior to the i9000? It falls below on every aspect, except for the CPU itself which is pretty much the same.

freelo123- CPU is about the same for both, traditional Cortex A8 with a few tweaks from the respective manufacturers.

GPU.... the SGX540 is stronger than the 530 by a factor of 2 or more. Definetly not a small gap.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
droid has the 8 mpix camera

larger screen 4.3"

Cellular_Networks:	CDMA800, CDMA1900

Cellular: Data+Links:	cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1xRTT, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rel. 0, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A

that's about it :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Out of all of those, only the camera is a real advantage.

Screen size should be chosen in proportion to the desired device size.

Cellular neworks... well, you can't expect a GSM device to be a CMDA one, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
People get way too caught up on the amount of megapixels.

3-5 is pretty much optimum for a phone because there are just physical limits to the size of the sensor and lens on a phone so pumping the amount of megapixels up just makes the quality go down even though you get a better resolution.

Just marketing, I'd rather have a lower amount megapixels and better quality.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i like hte i9000 better!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
The i9000 is obviously better then the droid x spec wise..

1) megapixels are insignificant...it just gives you more blurred out objects which you zoom in.if I resize my 5mp to 8mp it will looks the same pretty much..we need better lenses and sensors if we expect betetr quality pictures with more megapixels >.>

2) 4.3 inch screen for some people is too big..would a 20" screen on a phone be better? but some do like the bigger phone screens..either way no one can argue 0.3 inch screen size increase does not outweigh a Super AMOLED...

3) Cellular networks varies as the Verizon version of I9000 will have cdma in it lol

Now if you look at the other specs the I9000 is clearly superior from GPU to CPU..yes CPU too...why do I say that? well the reason why Hummingbird was created was Samsung was told that the OMAP is the best that there could be with an A8 cortex chip..and to prove it wrong they teamed up with Intrisity to create a better CPU using the A8 Cortex...so yes the Hummingbird is a superior CPU to the OMAP by itself..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
I think the best comparison of the screen and screen size is what sort of response you get when you show your phone to someone who doesn't know phone specs.

SGS: Woah, that screen is amazing! (Actually impressed)

DroidX/Evo: Woah, that thing is huge! (Looks nice, but I wouldn't want to carry that)

Says it all, I think! ;)

Although personally, the bigger the screen size the better as long as I can manage to fit it in my pocket!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monksorlo:
Droid X advantage:

1.flash

2.the aesthetics, ( it feels premium compare to i9000)

the build quality seems to be better, at least that's what it makes you feel ( which is all it matters anyways)

TO me, the most important thing is the asthetics. the looks of i9000 make you wonder what Samsung designers were thinking/doing!!!

They are paid to design, not to copy, I suppose, but even if you decided to copy, why would they copy first gen iphone?????

It's extremely maddening!!!!!!!!!

But I still like my vibrant. Maybe I'll sell mine if Droid X has a GMS version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
I wouldn't exactly call the i9000 bad build quality..if you take it apart or look at the take apart video you will notice that...the downside of the galaxy s being plasticy was actually intended...this is what makes the phone so light (its one of the lightest if not the lightest)...of course they probably should have made an option for a metal version for those that wanted...but you an always get a case if necessary since its so light and thin anyways..

Either way on the stress tests the Galaxy S lives through the most common things like being dropped from your hand to cement or cut with a knife...But if you plan to drop it from a 3rd floor window onto cement or block bullets with it well I can't guarantee anything...

As for copying the iphone design...personally I don't care...I mean why don't we just flame all the car manufacturers for putting wheels on cars...I mean thats so copying cave men >.>...personally I don't even see how it copies the iphone (aside from the vibrant, but thats t-mobiles choice)...the iphone is not the first one to come up with that look..they are just the first to make that look "popular"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I'd agree with that. I'd heard a lot about the bad build quality before getting my SGS, but haven't really thought that's entirely fair. It's well put-together and feels solid - I don't worry it's going to fall apart or anything. You could, however, argue that the plastic feels less premium than, say, an aluminium or even soft-touch plastic back might feel.

My friend's HD2 has more heft to it and perhaps feels more "premium", but the SGS is lighter and doesn't really feel like it's flimsy, so not such a huge issue to me.

Everyone does mistake it for an iPhone, though, and I do think it's designed to emulate one - it's a black slate with noticeably rounded corners, a chrome bezel and one hardware button centred under the screen. That's just like (previous versions of) the iPhone. TouchWiz also has a dock with 4 icons, like the iPhone, and adds coloured squares behind application icons, which makes them look more like the square icons on the iPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
Yeas I won't deny it..but look at the LG prada KE850..you can also claim the iphone copied them >.>...In the end we can't exactly say the SGS is ugly..so as long as it looks nice..I don't care who copies who..if it matters to the other company they'll settle it in lawsuits..simple as that...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
I already gave pretty much the most detailed explenation about why the Galaxy S is plastic, and why "plastic" doesn't mean "bad build quality".

This is so true

same reason why I downgrated from my HTC Athena to the SGS i9000

it might be just 1" difference (from 5" to 4") but in the pocket, holy crap, it makes a HUGE! difference :p

so, i have really no idea why some guys go and do those huge peanuts enlargement... no idea how they can fit it inside the pants pockets :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
They need something in their pants thats huge to compensate the lack of size of something else that also happens to be in their pants...lol..sorry couldn't resist >.>
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
if the droid x had super amoled, i would have gotten that without hesitation. But ill enjoy my extra 8gb and better gpu of the sgs for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
our SGS 16 GB version is even better :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I think, not only, this is flawed because you are saying that the fact that it's CDMA makes it better (this seriously depends on the user, if you travel internationally, to many people, CDMA is worse for you, even if it gives you advantages). Additionally, if you are all about CDMA, then you can get a Verizon or Sprint, Sprint will be 4G which surely trumps this (though you pay a $10 tax).

Total slippery slope argument. So, a 1" device must be better than a 4.3" because 20" is so bad...after that you are too generic, some people would, in fact, take an Evo's screen above SGS if they would get rid of their 30fps limit and whatever the color limit is (65k?)...

He said "extra", meaning he has the 16GB, Droid X comes with 8GB.

@OP I wanted the Dell Streak until I saw the Galaxy S. The 4" display was a beauty, the processor was exactly what I needed. The Droid X will have better I/O from what I've read, that's my biggest complaint on the Galaxy. I'd prefer the Super Amoled in 4.3", but I can understand anyone who goes for size. The main draw back is it's power needs, 4.0" is already pretty hungry for juice. I don't think you'd be disappointed with either device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
Not really...I never said smaller is better..I was arguing against bigger screen must mean better argument..that said If I had a choice between carrying a 1" screen or a 20" screen..I'd take the 1" screen >.>...as for the EVO..I doubt...cause they can barely keep them in stock as is...overall though SGS is much better device then the Evo....if there were any reason an Evo to sell more then an SGS on same carrier it would be that its an HTC over Samsung bias.

The I/O was already fixed by the community and it does not require SD card now..with Quadrant scores of 2200+ running android 2.1 >.>
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I knew you didn't say smaller was better, I was being hyperbolic and was actually trying to make you think in this exact manner how there are limits, and obviously (at least with the way manufacturers are responding) currently the sweet spot resides somewhere between 3.7-4.3" though the form factor is also important. From what I've read, and I've never handled either personally, the Droid X isn't as pleasant to hold as the HD2 (I hope I haven't switched them).

"as for the EVO..I doubt...cause they can barely keep them in stock as is"

I think this, partially, illustrates my point. Consumers are clamoring for it, be it due to screen size (originally the first 4.3", and largest, on Android), the 4G and/or a love of HTC/Sense.

I do also prefer the SGS screen and I agreed with the underlying point you were making, but the language and logic was the issue. Also, I try not to make sweeping statements, like you made comparing the Droid's screen and the SGS. I think it's easier to illustrate with the Dell Streak, however, to those that don't mind the size that's a world ahead IMO due to both the size and the gorilla glass.

We can continue to discuss the merits of the screen, but I'm not looking to make this personal and perhaps you thought I was attacking. If so, it's a dead point, no need to go further.

I knew about the SD card fix. I must've missed the more recent fix. I'll search, but in case I don't find it. Where's the fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
Personally I'm fine with a 4.3 inch cellphone...I was giving examples of what some people say...I was making a reference to saying that .3 < Super Amoled by most standards...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] freelo123:
Thank you all guys for your useful advices. It really hard to me to make such a choice because i do love the appearance of Droid X and i love the screen GPU of I9000.

Now i'm a little disappointed in Moto who just put EFUSE and a 530 GPU in DroidX.:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Check to make sure you like the feel. Most common complaint I've read about is having to adjust your hand to reach the top of the screen, which isn't inherent to all 4.3" screens. Looks aren't everything, after all.

In these cases, it's good to have a tough decision between two phones you really want. It's in those political races where you have to pick the lesser of two (or multiple) evils that are killer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
I'll definitely give this a try. Right now my battery performance with FroyoStone is the same as your old setup. 5% drain per hour on standby with everything off except for gsm phone calls. It would be really nice to have this sorted out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bakedbread:
cool, give it a try and let me know

I was the same with you, i would disable all sync, no Wifi/GPS/bluetooth on, just 3G enabled (i would even disable the data connection with APN switch from market)

but i was still losing about 10% battery per hour

now i'm about 1% or less per hour on standby, and its great!

and try combining the above registry tweaks with setCPU to see if it helps even more
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] trilbyfish:
12 hours on standby and 20% drain. Is that about average? Using froyostone sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w0LfNiNja:
i will give these a test. i'm interested in seeing how they help in winmo too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna try this out now!

Little info, from what I know the reason you boot winmo in the first place is to initiate the drivers, which android is not doing yet. Pretty sure that means that they stay on once you boot android, but everything else in the wince kernel shuts down.

It makes sense that this should work. For example, every dev recommends turning off the 'auto backlight' setting in winmo and it has an effect on the battery in android, so we know that settings do cross over.

Question is, is this affecting performance of Android at all? It looks like the settings are basically reducing power to the SD card, so is that slowing anything down since we are running from SD? Let's test...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
Did you mean turn OFF 'Power Saving' (first option)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mangetsuginkei:
Just made the changes, now let's see if it's effective :) Thanks for the tips mate.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bakedbread:
Sorry, i forgot what it was called

Yeah, its "Power Savings" in BSB tweaks, (1st option) and i turned it "ON"

i edited the 1st post so there's no confusion
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tRIACTIs:
just an other example: sim lock! if you have unlocked your sim card in winmo, you didn't have to unlock it in android ;)

i test it right now too and until now i can confirm that here is no affect on performance side - still smooth (shubCRAFT 1.2) and about 1230 points in quadrant... :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mangetsuginkei:
Just ran Quadrant 2 times and got 1100 (below Droid X), and 1273 points. Seems that those settings slightly touch pure performance, but nothing noticeable concerning smoothness and general use.

Now waiting more time to see the improvement in battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bakedbread:
nice

yeah, im scoring 1350 with a 8GB class 6 card and those registry tweaks, so its not a big issue for me

Android is running extremely smooth (since im using the Full RAM zImage as well) and battery life is great

we'll see how it is soon for everyone, since I think a lot of ppl have done the registry change but are just waiting to see how the battery life is.

I'm getting about 1% or less drain per hour on standby , so you can use that as a reference

now the only issue i have now is my battery only charging to 90-93% as "full" :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Downy:
Remove your battery from your device completely for 30-60 seconds and reinsert it again. Now your android should load it up to 100% again. It seems that the battery needs this kind of "reset" from time to time. Works fine for me.

Strange whenever i change the settings in WinMO, do reset and start Android a white screen appears and then nothing anymore....

I have reformatted my SD card tried it again without WinMO settings android installed and booted again luckilly. After reinstalling everything I thought I try it once more but same happens, white screen and eventually the screen goes off..... need to remove battery to restart, but cannot get into Android what can cause this and how to fix it without starting all over

Edit fixed the whitescreen issue by chaning startup.txt

#8 When u get stuck at white screen while rebooting change set cmdline to set cmdline "rel_path=Android lpj=638976" and reboot again..

When applying the powersave settings yet again with the changed set cmdnline option, the android will start again, finally!
