[Galaxy S I9000 General] donghobee:
Hello? I live in Austrlia, I don't know is there any person who can help me with my galaxy s. I believe my phone is unlocked (I bought from optus they are the only one who sell in Aus currently because exclusive for Aug. however I am currently using different service provider) what I realise is the phone itself comes with basic programs for optus and it always there at the same time on the sevice on top of the phone, I can't see 3G logo, means that I never can know my internet on the phone is on 3G network either roaming.

and if I bring this phone to 3 service centre when they release the phone in Sept, can they completely delete the phone, and re-install their stuff... or when my (3) service provider release the firmware update (which is android 2.2) if I install from different service provider, it affect on my phone (apn settings and etc will cahnge???)

I know that I should wait,,, now really stressed out becuase of that I cant do anything about it..

please help me....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unimaginative:
They probably could, but you'd pay for it since it's not under a warranty with them. Alternatively try and find a VHA CSC and flash it, or a any non-Optus build and live with it.

Who knows if it'll wipe APN settings? If it's an Optus phone you'll likely get an Optus CSC. Anyway, you can always re-enter them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Just install new rom and it will get rid of the optus junk. And even if there is a 3 version of the rom you can always flash that in the future ,With the 3g icon problem, you need to set up your vodafone apn settings. Simple
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe_xda:
Hi,

first a short introducing, this is my first post. :) I am reading the forum since 2007 that time with a HTC Wizard :) I could do great updates and on that, now i have a htc desire so i knew already where do i have to come for Informations :).

Big credit all the guys who makes possible for us "noobs" to enhance our devices so easily.

To the topic:

in a 2 weeks old Desire from T-mobile, with an Android Version 2.1 and a Boot Loader Version 0.75.0000 I am quite sure I have an SLCD Display installed as well.

We have 2 devices purchased them together, I tryed to root of course mine 2 days after that :), and had the blank screen problems with rooted rom hboot 0.75 and 0.80. Took a day to recover from that, but now because of this I have on that device an original HTC Rom with latest froyo update and 0.92 hboot unfortunately. I didn't properly check hboot version before rooting. But after that happend was sure at least i must had a 0.83 Bootloader.

Now, after I was checking the boot loader version on the other device, I was quite surprised, because I see a HBOOT 0.75, and started to investigate the display type.

If I Print kernel messages i see Display Initialization like: Sony wvga.....

on both devices.

Because of the root blank screen problem, the kernel driver messages, I am quite sure, the official T-mobile Rom have 0.75 HBOOT with SLCD Support and our Desires also an SLCD Display.

Am I right? Would be interesting, it might would make possible to use that boot loader and root with SLCD drivers, an Idea for the experts or am I completely wrong? :) Wouldnt need to go for 0.83 or 0.92 HBOOT. Or I completely wrong..

Regards

Joe

This has been bugging me for a while now and I wonder if it bugs other people too.

When launching a link from a web page and then returning to the same web page the browser doesn't return to the point on the page where the link was. It goes back to the top of the page. Meaning I then have to scroll to the part of the page where I was before.

This is really annoying. Any ideas how to rectify this issue? It happens in the stock browser and dolphin.

sent from my mind to yours using the power of suggestion

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JokerAce:
Hi Community,

Does the class of a SD card really matters?

Info:

Using HTC Magic or see my sig

Using CyanogenMod 5.0.8.

Using Apps2SD

Using a 8GB ScanDisk class 2

and this morning when I try to play a game which is loaded onto the SD, not internally, my phone hanged, and followed by very sluggish response.

So I rebooted my phone, and when it was done, my SD card got corrupted. I tried to reformat and it won't. I used BOTH my phone's and computers/laptop's reformat function to do it and it won't work.

Thus, I guess I am left with a dead SD card.

Community, please tell me, does a class of SD card really matter for Apps2SD? I mean I did my research and their are 2 sides to it, some claims that ScanDisk cards are good enough, others suggested the need for class 6... Which is oh-my-god-so-expensive. :(

I thank anyone for the upcoming response.

Cheers,

JokerAce

As with all things computer, faster is better. I'm using a SanDisk 8G class 2 myself. Yes, apps 2 SD on a class 2. It's working for now, but I'm pretty sure that it's because I have a CDMA Hero. I haven't had many issues, other than my photos taking forever to load and one time that it locked up and I had to pull the battery. I'm looking at getting a class 6 8G real soon. I've seen them in the $20-25 range on eBay.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JokerAce:
I guess we are better getting a higher class of sdcards. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] guitardoc64:
Yes we are. Class 2 works, but it's a bit slow for today's devices. I really thoght I was doing good with an 8 G, but the speed of R/W is a factor, especially with apps2SD.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bodisson:
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

Speed Class Rating

The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD Cards, defined by the SD Association. It is equal to 1 MB/s (8 Mbit/s), and it measures the minimum sustained write speeds for a fragmented state

The following are the ratings of some currently available cards:

* Class 2: 2 MB/s

* Class 4: 4 MB/s

* Class 6: 6 MB/s

* Class 10: 10 MB/s

So theory stands - the faster the better (and more expensive!)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Prostheta:
Inasmuch as a high speed card is better, at what speed are phones usually pulling/pushing data around at the moment?

I'm currently in the market for a 16/32Gb card for my SGS and this has made me curious on whether or not to consider Class 4+, as somewhere along the line the speed of the card might be irrelevant and the depth of my pocket will make its presence known.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GinoAMelone:
It has been claimed (I think over on the CM forums) that the G1 is incapable of reaching speeds higher than Class 6.

That would be consistent with the state of the art when it was released.

In fact, I would expect that the newest round of phones coming out right now are the first that can handle Class 10. The cards have just been hitting the market lately.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Prostheta:
Fantastic, thanks Gino. Seems that Verkkokauppa is a good source here in Finland (just getting used to living here....UK ex-pat).

http-www-verkkokauppa-com/main.php?cat1=0&brand=&query=SDC10/16GBSP&path=haku&search=1

A 16GB class 10 card for €104 is a big tag, but directly in line with speed....can find a 16GB class 2 in supermarkets for a fifth of that or thereabouts ;-)

Must shop around. I'm sure that a microSD card isn't onerous on shipping costs.

Shouldn't this be in the General section?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoking3:
I am not quite happy with this phone. I switched from Samsung Omnia HD, the most powerfull symbian device to date, to check out the wonders of Android. Except for the multitouch, unfortunately it doesnt have anything better than Omnia HD. I am sorry to state this, because I really thought it would make a difference. But having to download an application for every single little function that should be alreayd there, it's really frustrating. It's just my point of view. Maybe some other ex HD owners think otherwise. There is not at least a led for the camera (otherwise good pictures during the day, I admit); there is no option (unless u use an app) NOT to show the whole world around you your SMSs; there is no option to choose what connection to use (unless to start and stop all kinds of data applications); you cannot choose any song you please for any alert in the phone, unless you move the respective sound in some strange folder in the phone; there is no way to choose where to install an application; gprs connection only works after I restart the phone and after a couple of hours it just doesnt transfer anything anymore; you cannot send via bluetooth unless you install an application; you cannot choose if you want or not the messages to be shown as conversations and many many more.

Dont get me wrong , the phone is very good and has many good things, but unfortunately, as I was saying, it is very very dissappointing not to have elementary comfort functions already in the menu, but to have to download little stupid apps for everything.

Conclusion: I will buy Nokia N8 as soon as it reaches my country.

PS: I dont what the famos GPS problem is, but mine with NDRIVE works great and in real time. Strange, I know.:)

Yes I am happy with it, it is a great multimedia device with the ability to watch films etc. on a big super amoled screen.

But I am annoyed that you have to do loads of tweaks to get everything working and lag free.

Quite alot of people would never think of flashing firmware and performing lag fixes. They would probably have been better off with the Desire which works out of the box.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebongo:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukdtweak:
Overall, I am very happy with my SGS, It came with JF1 but is now running JM1, which reduced the lag a little, but thanks to RyanZa's Lag fix, the phone is too fast :)

Not had any need to try out the GPS and am not too fussed as its a bit of a gimick to me.

The wife has an SGS too, still on stock JF1, and she loves it, won't let me speed it up though as she is very happy with its Stock performance, having come from a Nokia N97 that crashed on a regular basis and ran like a two legged dog with no sense of direction...

I am currently, but I am assuming GPS will become somewhat functional in September. I bought it to improve my productivity in many ways, and it does.

But, if the GPS isn't fixed, even though I rarely use it, I'd have to question if it is the best choice for me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dopedangel:
I am happy with the device but not the samsung service or their ability to fix problems quickly.

Over 2 months now and the gps problem and the lag problem have not been fixed. And then I look at Motorola and HTC and how quickly they come out with fixes and updates.

Plus looking at the development going on with their devices like cyanogen mod etc I am not sure if my next upgrade will be a samsung device. I might have gotten seduced by the Samoled screen but my next phone will be the one google chooses next as its development device as all these other phone might have new bells and whistles but they should add to basc android not subtract from it as many do currently.

Yes. After solving the "family feud" with Kies and upgrading the firmware from JF4 to JG4, SGS I9000 is truly a super-phone.

I9000DXJG4 firmware is pretty responsive. I don't see any lag yet.

In my phone, the GPS was working fine in JF4 firmware, but now, seems to me the JG4 can lock the satellites much easier than JF4. When moving, sometimes it's off up to 50 meters, but JG4 GPS can synchronize itself back faster than JF4.

Also if you won't apply lagfix (XDA fix) the phone behaves like its 333MHz processor sometimes you have to wait like 5sec just to open the app drawer even with JPK. My HD2 which has a lower CPU is faster in a lot of things even with android loaded on it.
