[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrGibbage:
What's the difference between the [I9M] Vibrant and the [V] Vibrant? Is the I9M International? And if I am correct there, I am still wondering what the physical/SW differences are. I have the t-mo Vibrant and I didn't even realize there was a different Vibrant out there. I suspect I am not the only one.

Anyway, I think this merge is a great idea. Kudos to whoever thought it up. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I9M is like the Americas version of the I9

I9M is fully feature, the Tmobile Vibrant is crippled they removed many things from the phone

- missing home button,

- different bands 1700/1900/2100 instead of the popular 850/1900/2100 (AT&T and alikes)

- missing front screen camera for video conference calls

- other stuff i forgot about...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
the vibrant has a home button.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes it has a home button, but not the same home button as the international versions

it's a 4 button vs 3 button layout

which all 4 buttons are fake buttons and the 3 buttons on the international version 2 are fake 1 is a real button which is the home key
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vitruvi0ne:
I voted Yes. In fact, I feel that strongly about merging sub-forums that I decided to also make this my first post :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gooofy:
Why arn't the mods doing anything about the forums yet? Isn't the overwhelming amount of opinions enough?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chainfire:
Just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean we aren't working on it ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
yeah give them some time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heygrl:
I really don't think anyone understands how unmanageable a merged general/Q&A section will be. I like to visit the i9000/Epic/Captivate forums occasionally but not on a regular basis, nor would I want to sift through posts for different devices to find ones for the one I have.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
But for general (non-dev things) everything is the same. Same software, same general hardware. The only real discrepancies are in development and accessories
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
But people asking questions that dont' get answered or don't get the best possible answer this would be great. Additionally, the Q&As are extremely similar, sometimes there is a specific question, but even the subject and browser previews (before clicking the thread) will often clue you into this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
And much like the "is this a question prompt" they could add a "what phone do you have" drop down etc.

I hope the moderator sees this post because that is a really good idea actually...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
for this it'll require some sort of plug in, which i'm not sure if vBulleting would have available or not

the NEXT best thing is to have CHECK BOXES like the ones for [Q] when you create a new topic

that is possible with their current plug ins, just not sure if they want to do that
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
They would have to figure out how to implement it on one forum only though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PatcheZ:
HAHAHAHAHAHA

stupid question... are we going to have sub forums for the 3 chinese variants as well (sch-i909, gt-9008, gt-9088)?

seriously...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
Im pretty sure this website it either banned in china or people don't really use it either. If the analytics data (if they have it installed) show that a ton of people form china go on XDA then yes they should add it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
On the topic of devices, personally I like the forums where they let the user input their device similar to how we got "Service provider" here..they should have that when they register or etc...

on forums that have those it helps a bunch, because if say I see a user that has a TP and asking a question in TP2 forum..I would give them and answer and confirm with them that they actually have a TP2 and not a TP and don't mess up their device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scrizz:
meh, I'm against it.

How come other HTC phones (ie HTC HD2) get to have separate forums.

We are just as important, if not better :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
uhm...HD2 has no other variants...

That said merging is not making the devices and less important..it actually would make us more important..individually each device will be like any other device..together we might become the #1 device on the entire forum..and development would improve a lot...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
I was actually against this until I read your post. I'm sure if it did happen that would be true.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spartoi:
I'm for it. Having to look through all the separate forums is a pain.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
Agreed. With 93% of the votes supporting a merge so far, what's the wait??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
heads up, it's confirmed the Brazil with TV version is model I9000B

Galaxy S GT-I9000B Brazil [I9B]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
Personally I think this whole Galaxy S thing is a marketing disaster for Samsung for two reasons:

1. Too many names. People want the iPhone because lets face it: everyone has one. Galaxy S on the other hand is no like that. Frequently people ask me if is a DROID. I just agree because its not worth the fight. There is no way to market 7+ different phones and gain the type of marketing status that Apple has.

2. The name itself. Samsung is following Microsoft in that its names either suck for there are 2000000000+ versions (windows 7 home, home premium, professional, ultimate, etc.) Samsung just needs all of them to be called the Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i agree, if they kept it as One name, the phone would have been a major success marketing wise

unfortunately often the rules are dictated by the cell phone carriers, and not by the manufacture

that's why we have 4 different USA variants

internationally it's at most 2 variants, with TV and without TV and they are all called I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
True. America's cellphone carriers suck. But its not going to get any better. The problem is that there is only 1 iPhone with only 1 maker. Everyone wants it so they will take it even non-exclusively. Everyone makes an android phone though. If Samsung doesn't give into T-Mobile (just as an example) then T-Mobile can go get an HTC phone or a Motorola phone etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spartoi:
Well Samsung markets the phones at Galaxy S on commericals and it is always what I name my phone when people ask what it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
GT-i9000t is for Latin American countries

i guess we should dub it

-- Galaxy S GT-I9000T Latin [I9T]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
The best Samsung was able to do was have "Galaxy S" embedded on all the phones...even the US ones...

It doesn't matter how many phones come out as long as they are all branded as a Galaxy S..why? because they are trying to establish a brand name like Droid and iPhone...there are multiple devices in all of them but under same name.

If someone calls an android device a Droid I just correct them and tell them proper name is Android..Droid is just a brand name Verizon came up with...really not much to it :/

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JayPhill89:
I've been regularly checking the Captivate forums, mostly for firmware updates and releases, but I also check around on the I9000 forums occasionally.

I think this would be a great idea to have all the great minds working with these devices to be conversing in a more centralized location. You'd be getting more input from more sources and more development from more individuals.

There really isn't much of a way for this to go wrong so long as each thread is clearly labeled to which device they're working with. It might also be an overwhelming amount of posting that it will be hard to find the fix you need in a very large thread.

I'd really like to see this happen. The pros out weigh the cons big time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wapu:
Regional Issues

I'm all for consolidation where it makes sense, but please keep in mind some regional issues. I.e. we in Korea have a unique version that is hard to find ROMs for, Hard to root, and no direct game market access. Having a dedicated threads help us provide a support base that doesn't exist (or even needed) in most other places.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chainfire:
Discussion about it is still going on here internally ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
Who do we need to bribe to make it faster and/or tilt in our favor?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nbs11:
Haha. i agree. Although things like this take time...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heygrl:
It should be sped along. Once people see how many irrelevant posts are forced in their face (over the usual) they will be begging for them to be devided again. I still think the Galaxy S forums mostly as is all under one roof is the way to go. If we want to see Captivate posts, they're one click away. Vibrant posts, one click.. i9000 posts.. you get the idea.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
In some categories (e.g. apps) there is very serious overlapping. Same as regards generic questions on Android functions. I cannot see why should have for instance so many "so us your desktop" threads when all desktops share the same software.. And why should noled app exist primarily in Galaxy S forums.. I cannot spend all day checking 16 forums to see whether a cool new app has been written..

Development is a different animal, but all in all some forum should certainly be merged with topic notification when the question issue relates only to a specific type of phone due to hardware differences (e.g. question about the hardware keyboard of epic).

brg
[Galaxy S I9000 General] heygrl:
Apps was one that I said should be merged, I don't see what the problem could be there. I just know that at a glance, I don't want to see i9000 or Epic general posts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
I'm in support of this merger. But as far as all the network specific american variants of the phone are concerned, separate inner boards could be made for them, pertaining to their specific issues and topics, while the main galaxy s board would be for all genetic issues and topics related to this phone model...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
- update -

Wiki updated, reorganized, indexed and cleaned

Anyone able to give a hand would be more than welcome to fill in model specific info.

[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Looks nice. But kinda odd (and not sure I like it) to have a speaker slide out like that.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/24/exclusive-htcs-windows-phone-7-equipped-t8788-breaks-cover-for/
[Windows Phone 7 General] IM0001:
Yep looks good. Hope all the new HTC Codename phones fall under similar looks/features.

A comment in the engadget forum has 1 guy say he personally knows the phone slides both ways. Hmm.

If it does I Just hope its a nice mechanical/spring slide action that keeps the phone solid when your not sliding it around.

Overall though it would be a bit bigger version of my TP2 which I love.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I like the front facing speaker. Lately I've been playing more Scumm games (Broken Sword 2 atm) on my phone, and sometimes when there's alot of ambient noise, I have to flip my phone around to really hear what's being said without listening intently or put my headphones on. So this would actually be good for gaming, if it slid out the rest of the way to show a game pad I'll be breaking contract :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
I'm not too excited about the slide-out speaker feature. As long as a phone has a 3.5mm jack and a decently loud speaker phone, I'm happy. I wouldn't want to go too crazy over builtin speakers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
say hate to state the obvious but this is implementation of the new htc slider mechanism htc patented recently

not bad
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
I say slide it out the other way to reveal a full qwerty and this thing would be a beast. But sadly it's just a speaker.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zanef7:
This phone DOES NOT slide both ways... for a fact. It slides only that way (as shown in the picture) and only that far... It also has a kickstand that comes out so that when you stand the phone up the speaker is at the top.

All metal (black metal) very heavy and solid feeling... Also, screen size looked to be about 4-4.1"

Saw it/played with it on Sunday night :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
lets hope for all hd2 owners that this phone has the same hardware specs as the hd2 (easier to port wp7 on hd2 )

and let us all non hd2 owners hope it has a dual core and loads of ram/rom usb3 ,64GB build in ssd:) .
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
so a media centric phone? how is the slider mechanism and wp7 for that matter. Are these builds still naked without att/htc proprietary software I'm quite curious
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
That's one thing that's great. The manufacturer and carrier aren't allowed to bog the phones down with crap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
has MS stated that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I believe MS mandated that only 6 custom vendor apps can be sent out with the phone, and anything they put on has to be uninstallable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
Finally...

Now I wish MS would do things to stop being as annoying too.

Btw, I looked over the internet. I couldn't find it. Would you happen to have the link or an official statement from MS stating that?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Meh, to hell with extra bulk from speaker I don't use for anything but ringing.

Never thought I'd say this, but my next phone will most probably not be from HTC. This is such a useless gimmick.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I don't have the direct link but it was originally posted by Da_G on this forum.

OEM Rules
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I mean how else do you think OEMs can differentiate themselves?

They can't do anything to the system, so expect to see a lot of these gimmicks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
They can add apps/hubs.

I know many will disagree with this but we have to go off the basis that the built-in functions of WP7 are much better than anything an OEM could do. We shouldn't want/allow them to change it just for the sake of differentiation. It's my impression (not having used any of them for any length of time) that this is true on Android for all with the possible exception of HTC Sense; even then many would say the stock Android UI is just fine. HTC Sense, espeically for WinMo, is horribly written. I think it's wise for us to let the software company do the software and the hardware company do the hardware.

So even though they can't modify for the sake of modifying, there's a good bit of opportunity for them to add on. HTC will be doing some sort of 'Sense' for WP7 which will (just guessing) probably be in the form of a hub with several apps such as weather, stocks, footprints, etc. Carriers will have branding opportunities as well (Telstra showed off theirs recently).

But this all still ignoring the question of do users really care? I have never once seen the home screen addons become a deciding factor in what phone a user purchases (both in 'real life' and on a non-phone forum where phones often come up that I'm on). It's always just:

1. carrier

2. hardware features (size, keyboard, screen being the main ones)

3. Price

It really seems like wasted money on the part of the OEMs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
How about making great devices without this niche teenager crap?
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
for a pop out speaker, I would have high expectations for the sound on that. It better be very impressive and with plenty of bass.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
well to tell you the truth, this isn't the first time that we are seeing the device with speaker slideout. For instance, Samsung mp3 players had this. they were k5 and s5. It wasn't a really hit for somereason but yea on the phone, this is the first time ever. But i do like the formfactor but i am not sure about sliding speaker. I dont listen to musics with my phone, so it won't be necessary for me. Also i would like to see how the battery performs when the slide is out to the side. hmmm... it should be great for speaker call and gps sysem!
[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
you are a one son of a *****! you really encountered this device in person?! I envy you :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] TriAxisFL:
This is sooo not a gimmick. It may not be useful to you, but many of the media centric people will love it. Imagine FINALLY having a phone with front facing speakers. Not on the back or side where you cant hear them when you're watching the screen.

The phone has a kickstand, so they definately want people to put the phone in landscape, put up the kickstand and speakers and watch (and hear) some high quality videos/movies.

As of now this is my top choice for a phone, along with the Dell Lightning. Hopefully they have some high quality speakers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] okekok:
If that is a speaker how can you use it in public without being annoying and making yourself look and sound like an idiot.?. I do not believe HTC who make superb devices could be so silly as to become associated with a public nuisance. Is this info a hoax?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You are going to watch those movies where exactly? You don't expect that speaker to be good, do you?

Installing*

Reboot to recovery, run the update.zip to run ClockworkMod Recovery, then installed the ZIP..

Quoted from eugene's post-- hope this helps...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tonie972:
How do I "Reboot to recovery" and I think I already run the "update.zip" when I rooted the phone. Do I have to download ClockworkMod Reovery or something? Like said I'm new to this so I'm sorry if I'm a nuisance.

Edit: Is it the same thing as this?

http://awdisk.com/2010/01/how-to-reboot-your-motorola-milestone-in-recovery-mode/
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
You can go to the market and download rom manager and use it to flash a custom recovery...

Flash cwmod recovery from the app

Reboot into cwmod recovery from the app

First thing to do its go to the nandroid option and do a backup (always recommended before changing anything)

Then dl the link from above.. This is a new .zip make sure its on the internal sdcard (the 16gb one).. When you reboot into recovery (from the app like last time) go to flash any zip from sdcard.. Choose the new .zip file you just downloaded.. Your /system should now be rw upon reboot
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Wykedx:
