It amazes me that the phone has been out for a little more than 1 month and there are a few of you that are up in arms about Froyo getting to you right now that you're willing to give up the phone. My question to you is this.. Let's say froyo wasn't due till the middle of next year but you still had this great phone that boasts great power and performance, would you still be thinking of returning it? Keeping in mind that this line besides the two new Droids are the newest Androids out for the US at least. Just seems ridiculous to me. Just sit back and relax. You should be thankful it's being pushed as fast as it is at all.

And i'm not talking about the GPS issue because that is a separate update in itself.

Without updates this phone would suck. Samsung has been known for promising updates for its previous android phones but later end up breaking promises and hearts of it s customers. If they do it this time , galaxy s will be the last Samsung branded item that I will ever own
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
They already said 2.2 in September. Quit thinking they wouldn't upgrade their devices.

The Behold wasn't much of a popular phone because of their TouchWiz interface, so they spent all their resources on redesigning the interface and look at where TouchWiz 3.0 is now, they viewed it as it would be ECONOMICALLY better in the end to not use their resources towards the Behold.

The Galaxy S is a international phone, I don't see where you stand where they would do this to their customers. It doesn't even need Samsung to make this phone good, with CM6 im happy enough with that.

Samsung hasn't released a lot of phones based on Android. Is Samsung the only company who didn't upgrade previous devices? No.

HTC: HTC Dream (G1 -- Stock of course, 1.6)

myTouch: 1.6

Motorola: CLIQ, CLIQ XT, Backflip

.. there are more phones out there that I missed but this is the only thing I can think of on the top of my head. So stop criticizing Samsung, think about it from a business perspective.
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I've had a few android phones, and regardless of firmware I've liked them all. If my Vibrant were never updated to 2.2 I'd be disappointed, but the phone would still be good. I haven't experienced any major lagging and my gps usually locks on within 15 seconds, same with my wifes Vibrant.

There are only a few issues I'd like to see taken care of, such as it showing the phone having 80mb of free memory when I kill all tasks and running services. I'd also like to see a slight bump in battery life, though I don't have to turn off 3g and can leave on auto-adjust brightness to get better life than my old g1 or cliq.

Despite any of it's shortcomings, I'm just glad it can run just about any app smoothly.
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
First of all these task/app killers. don't show the true memory... if you were to add up the reported memory used by each app n add it to what's left , what number would you come up with. That dev for ATK. was just in the news, boasting of making $80000 of this app. of which, $27000 is from ad version.. all this for an app that does nothing but calm the 'out of memory fear' people like you have , but I do agree with you battery need a lil boost.. hopefully they tweak the code enough so we can enjoy all 1500mh......
[Vibrant General] xspeed9190:
As a T-mobile employee in the Philadelphia area I can assure you they have not told us anything yet. Obviously this phone will get froyo..however it is a samsung ..look at the behold 2. But lets be optimistic. Hey I have spoken with the samsung rep and was at the release party in center city Philadelphia. There is no official confirmation yet on froyo. This GPS fix is a separate update and they are going to procrastinate as long as they can just like the slide update that many people still have not gotten. Any employee that tells you its confirmed ask them for a picture of "Streamline" thats internal PROOF
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
Thanks for letting me know. On the G1 and Cliq, I did have a major "fear" of running out of memory because the phones seemed laggy when the memory showed to be low. I haven't noticed this with my Vibrant yet though.
[Vibrant General] lou0611:
Google samsung vibrant android 2.2 its been confirmed by samsung it will be out in september.
[Vibrant General] fresnogamer:
Listen. I am a supervisor for about 150 T-Mobile representatives. Trust me when I say to not listen to most T-Mobile employees. They will say whatever it takes to not loose the sale. Even the info they get has been passed through 20 different channels. It gets a little cloudy near the end. I am going to check the system tomorrow for any updated. Ill let you know what I find.
[Vibrant General] Shagman68:
Two T-mob reps came into my wife's restaurant and started telling her that she will be able to play all the facebook games on her Vibrant soon. Meaning 2.2 with flash 10 will be out shortly. We will see if T-Mob can get it out before Christmas, LOL.
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
That's why he said "if you wait for OTA" if you don't ie manually push then you don't have to wait.
[Vibrant General] drhonk:
I can't believe we're having this discussion. Samsung did announced they will have Froyo release in late Sept .. we will also have CM6 as another option. Either way we will have Froyo for Vibrant.. :)
[Vibrant General] cthach11:
LOL I love how there is a backstory!
[Vibrant General] bmj1086:
Something you should know, I've worked for Verizon and now I work for at&t the first line employees work off of the same rumors you do. I wouldn't call this confirmed. That doesn't mean it's not true, it just means that it's just as likely to be not true.
[Vibrant General] fresnogamer:
Thank you for being a sane person in a room of crazies.
[Vibrant General] :
Just for giggles, I called Samsung support, managed to get to someone, that at least "sounded" intelligent , they told me that they will be releasing 2.2 for the Galaxy series to providers the first or second week of September, but, went on to say , "What the providers do from there Samsung has no control over" .

Samsung also told me that when 2.2 is released for the Galaxy from them , if I/We don't have it within a couple of weeks to call Samsung and complain, because they can then leverage it against the providers that are holding it up ..

Now that may all be 100% BS, but , one can hope .....
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
I expect Samsung to give an update on froyo at IFA. They are going to be showing off their tablets and other new phones/TVs.
[Vibrant General] codypilot1997:

There is a kernek that allows using extended bttery. However there is no temp monitering so its not recomgded to chargw in android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
This is still being worked on throughout the builds.. i had the same issue.. but yes it is a driver related issue due to the temperature being misreported.. so it freaks out and shuts down the phone..

A work around apparently is to cover the middle terminal of the 3 on the battery with some insulation tape ( i think it's the middle one but cant remember which post it was in..)

I havent tried this personally, and wouldn't recommend doing it really but some other people have tried ...

Patience is a virtue

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grady_hawks:
Hi,

Am wondering if its possible, and so how to, use my laptop to make a wireless signal that my Nexus can log on to.

I say this, as the house that I am at has WEP protection, and as we all know Nexus doesnt like WEP. So Can I use my laptop that has a WEP connection to transmit a wireless connection with WPA protection at all? Need to download some nexus stuff and I dont have my cable so it needs to go straight to phone.

Cheers,

i wanted to download an .apk file from this board. i use the stock browser.

when i klick the attachment , i get a message that the file isnt supported by the phone. whats the problem and how can i fix it ?

thanks for help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
use another browser the stock browser is not that great
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falloutboy2000:
yes maybe,

but the browser should at least download something that i want.

and i can imagine that there is a solution for this tiny problem, or ?

i also dont understand, why the phone should not support apk files ?!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
because they want to force people to use Android Market

to prevent people from using Unauthorized APK files off the net

i use the estrong file explorer, but i think ist not possible with this explorer/browser, or ?

which browser do you recommend ?

i tried doplhin browser, but i dindt like the look.

also i couldnt have both browser at the same time.

when i opend the stock browser, the dolphin also opens automatically
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithent:
Works with ASTRO's universal download setting for me.

I like the stock browser (Dolphin is rather.. busy), but other browsers happily coexist with it. When asked which browser to use to open links, make sure you check the box too remember your choice.

You can, of course, have more than one file manager on your phone if you like estrong.

I just installed the ASTRO SMB module to test, and it works for me. Network > New, SMB. I used the IP address for the server and the share name for the share, blank domain, and my username and password. It didn't work if I used the computer name for the server, though.

So I was browsing the captivate forums and noticed there flashing i9000 roms them flashing the captivate kernel over the top to make it work right (ie buttons and such). I haven't tried this yet on the vibrant but I was wondering if we flash jh2 then our stock kernel if it would work right? Plus if this works would we be able to flash pauls madaco rom over jh2 and our kernel with no problems?? Just wondering. Thanks

followup: It seems that the OS is remembering preference orders in between installations. So if they ever chose the google browser over mine, the OS will always choose the google browser over mine until either:

1) the google browser's defaults are cleared, or

2) another application is installed that listens to those intents, resetting the need for a chooser

I'm in the US and want to buy an unlocked, international version of the I-9000, probably from Singapore, probably on AT&T.

Will Samsung release "generic," non-carrier specific ROMS? Or will that be all from the excellent developer community?

I'm hoping it would still do high-speed 3G because it covers some of AT&T's 3G bands???

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Eh. You cant get a international version in usa. If you get one from singapore it will be international ver. It will have problems on at&t as they use 850/1900 mhz for 3g while international ver uses 900/2100mhz. Before you buy a device please make sure the 3G	radio will work with your telco. If you are in usa then buy one from the telco you will be using as it will be set up right. But for rest of world we can get away with standard international gsm ver

Hi!

I have Autorun Killer and Startup Auditor installed and both show me different apps that are supposedly starting up on their own.

Autorun Killer has also two entries for some apps, like Autokiller for instance, while Startup Audito has only one.

Can somebody recommend a good startup manager? I'm also wondering which apps can be removed from the automatic startup.

Would be great if someone could clarify that for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i use this one Startup Manager

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765081

it's safe, and it doesn't close application randomly, because you only disable the software that you don't want

it's very easy to use
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Startup auditor let's you disable apps and drivers/services from starting. Good for turning off email if you use third party app like k9. Also good for services like samsung social network hub as i don't use it and wastes ram just running. I use" startup manager" too. I think everyone does

I just though that since Autorun Killer is from the same guy as Autokiller it might be just as good...
