[Galaxy S I9000 General] wilee1928:
Hi, I live in Mexico, and I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S but i'm not sure what version should i get, the International i9000 (8GB) or the ATT Captivate (16GB).

I know the Captivate can now be unlocked and this should work with no problems with my carrier since they work on the same network, but i'm not sure how customizable this device can get compared to the i9000.

I would like to use it with LauncherPro (to be more vanilla) and remove all the ATT Stuff and of course to LagFix-it. Also i don't really care about not having a front facing camera on the Captivate.

On design i really like the back of the Captivate (with its metallic battery cover), on contrary to the i9000 that feels a lot more plastiky.

So, i hope your advices can help me decide wish version of the Galaxy S I should get. All I want is not to get abandoned by not being able to update it when new versions of Android get released. If ATT don't update it anymore I hope the community does it.

Que bandas de 3G usan las compañias de telefonos por alla en Mexico?

UMTS 850/1900/2100 (i9000m Bell, SGH-i897 AT&T)

o

UMTS 900/1900/2100 (i9000 international)

o

UMTS 1700/2100 (SGH-T959 T-mobile)

o son

CDMA 800/1900 (Epic 4G)?

dependiendo en la respuesta sera el modelo que te funcione mejor en tu pais.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wilee1928:
Its the exact same band as ATT. but i really don't use it under 3G, just WIFI, thats why i could use the i9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
hmm.. si es asi, entonces cualquier modelo te va a funcional sin problema.

I9000 international version 16GB here. Haven't even seen a single 8GB. Where are you guys getting those from?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deadwarrior:
A friend of mine bought the 8GB version from the UK.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
lots of 8GB UK version here 16GB UK are in low stock

but all Bell are all 16GB
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
A minor consideration if you use premium headphones w/mic (Etymotics HF2, BOSE, iPhone compatible stuff): the i9000, at least the ones from Singapore are hardwired with the mic and ground wires crossed on the 3.5mm jack. This means headphones that work with the iPhone (and most other US phones from HTC and Samsung) will not work for phone calls with the i9000.

The Captivate and Vibrant are compatible with iPhone-like headphones.

I agree with you that the back on the Captivate is the best. The Vibrant looks like the same back as the i9000. I hate that weird hump at the bottom.

Remember the i9000 has an iPhone like center button on it and two capacitive, the Captivate/Vibrant have the four capacitive buttons, which is more "vanilla" for android users.

Also, you might want to consider a Vibrant, since they are unlockable as well, and supposedly they have the 3G frequencies for both AT&T and T-Mobile compatibility, which makes it much more world-friendly than the i9000 or Captivate in my opinion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wilee1928:
I new about the headset "problem" with the i9000, but I didn't knew that the american versions had this "fixed".

I haven't consider a Vibrant but that could be a nice option so I could get a i9000 case.

THANKS.
[Vibrant General] gold_sprinter:
Hi Guys, I have flashed to Vibrant 6 and have had nothing but problems with it. My phone freezes so many times I have to reboot. I downloaded Copilot from the market and I can't even get it to install. It freezes at the "choose language" screen everytime. I also miss the FM radio app that was with my original firmware.

I unfortunately wiped my backup of my original firmware from my phone when installing the new one. Does anybody happen to have the original Bell firmware?

Hey i'm running kumar's premium rom and installed froyostone without sense yesterday, was running great for about a day, now if i leave my phone idle for a while and come back to it i get a blank dark gray screen instead of the unlock screen and have to reboot. is this a common issue or is it just me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] h_kos:
screen stays blank

hello!

got the same problem (with several android versions): sometimes my phone does not wake up e.g. when receiving a sms or a phonecall. Then I do not see who is calling me. takes several attempts to get the display do its normal work. up to know I did not find a reason/solution. :-(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
It is related to the g-sensor being on ,aka auto rotate screen, this may make your phone unable to go on from sleep, just try to press the unlock button a few times and it should wake-up . Sometimes the build have some issues, like HyperDroid, If you left it on Idle for long time it will get warm and you have to remove batt to boot again. :)

Edit ::

Yes it is a common issue, avoid it by using DesireZ/HD builds ( no camera)

[Droid Incredible General] RYANANIMOSITY:
whats the options its asking for optical joystick wake??
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
Its a option to "wake" the phone using the joystick instead of pressing the power button on top. I dont use it because word on the street is it takes up battery very well could have been fixed so dont take my word for it. I just never used it when I had it. Muscle memory going for that power button.
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
Yeah but it's so much easier once you re-train your thumb to hit that button right front-and-center.

Only thing I've noticed is that fifty percent of the time it still doesn't wake it up.

Hi,

I want to add a custom ringtone to available alarm ringtones.

How can I do that ?

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
I found it here:

http://droidtalk.net/how-to-add-custom-ringtones-notifications-to-your-android-device/

•Browse to the SD Card on your PC
•Look for a folder called media, if it’s not there, create it by right clicking and choosing New Folder, then rename the folder to be media
•Inside the media folder, you need a folder called audio, again, if it’s not there create it as above
•Inside the audio folder, you can create a subfolder for the sound category you want to change-
•ringtones – for sound files you want to use as ringtones
•alarms – for sound files you want to use for any alarms
•notifications – for incoming notifications such as SMS alerts, emails, etc
•Copy your sound file in to the relevant folder
You should now see your sound file listed in the menu for selection in the appropriate sound settings menu. If you don’t see your ringtones, don’t panic simply restart your phone and you’ll be all set.

To access the ringtone/notification settings, press the hard Menu key from one of your home screens, then press Settings then Sounds and Display)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeCruiser:
Create a folder in the SD card (root) and name it Alarms. Any audio files in this folder will be available for alarm tone.

Does anybody know how to order applications in Launcher Pro as in TWLauncher?

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chookmeister69:
I don't have it on my phone anymore but it was somewhere under menu > preferences from the home screen. You could order it alphabetically or by order installed etc.

You can't order apps on TWLauncher. In list mode it's listed alphabetically. In icon mode you have to manually drag them around....

So when push email is enabled (for my exchange work email only) my battery drains 10% every hour, even if i don't touch the phone it drains 10% Is this normal?

Overnight i lost 60% of the battery. It was 100% when i went to bed and 60% when i work up about 7 hours later. 8 emails were received during this time.

Looking at my screen, the 3G icon in the notification bar is constanlty changing between a 3G and H and the arrows are lighting up all the time. Advanced task killer shows no other active apps as well.

I have recently flashed to JM5 and have only had that problem since comming to JM5. I have tried the different tricks for restting the battery stats and calabrating the battery, turing on plane mode, but nothing really works. I'm in Australia, will probably flash back to the stock firmware if i can't fix this soon. I can't get a full day out of the phone at the moment.

Any thoughts?

Does anyone else using push have the same issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i have my email sync ever 1 hour

have all features turned on

GPS, BT, WiFi, 3G, etc

each battery pack last me long enough to only swap 1 battery every AM, and every PM

so i need to battery pack a day minimum

but i have 4 packs to cover me

1 on the phone, 1 in my jeans pocket, 1 charging at home, 1 ready to be swapped, as usually the 1 inside the phone is nearly depleted by the time AM/PM comes and goes

so basically i carry 2 batteries in my jeans all the time

only because i want to use it until the very last drop of juice is out of the battery.

it makes your battery last longer (training your battery)

else with just 3 battery pack is more than enough to cover a full day 24hr
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammorris:
Hey mate, I have a feeling this is a JM5 related issue.

I'm using JM2 with push enabled for both my work and personal email, and when I stay at my girlfriend's place I don't get to charge my phone, however battery life only goes down about 5% overnight.

One thing I would suggest is that when you go to sleep you switch over to 2G mode (in mobile network settings, change from GSM/WCDMA to GSM Only,) as that is the only thing I do which I think would be saving a little battery life. If that doesn't help you, then I'd suggest maybe changing from JM5 to JM2? Out of all the firmware I've tried JM2 has been the most stable for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if i go into conservative mode

no wifi, no 3g, no bt, no gps

then a single battery last very very very long i can stretch it to 2 full days, if i only turn on the feature i need when i need it, then turn it off right away when i don't need it.

but it's a drag... i rather swap battery packs :D

and have 3G + WiFi + GPS + push messages/calendar/contacts sync + Fring 24/7 without having to worry
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Where did you buy extra batteries?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I have the same problem after I installed a new app or an update and I just can't figure out what is causing it. My phone is dead if I don't charge it overnight. Android OS used 43% of the battery last night. I too noticed the H flashing on and off a lot so I think my phone is not going to sleep properly. I have a ton of widgets installed so this makes it harder to single out the culprit.

I'll just deal with it till froyo comes around.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
I have both GMail push and Exchang push in the working hours. And at the end of the day, I typically have about 60% battery left including two hours of pod cast playback during commute.

If your phone is in a weak signal area a lot, it will use more battery as it tried very hard to maintain a connection.

ive been trying to figure this out.. how do you turn off 3g?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
uncheck the green button on the APN settings screen

you have to configure another profile that doesn't use the same address that the 3G uses

[General Questions and Answers] SquareBare:
Hello,

I am using an unrooted Samsung Vibrant on Tmobiles Prepaid Network.

I originally bought one of their cheap nokia phones to use prepaid on the network and once I saw that I had a decent enough signal I bought the vibrant for a flat fee and popped my prepaid sim in it.

The sim was orginally registered with the old IMEI of the cheap nokia phone I was testing it with. There is currently no option to change it online at their website.

I just wanted to make sure that using a simcard registered to a different phone IMEI wasn't something that could get a fellow into trouble.

Thanks,

Jason

So everyone knows that the newer linpack scores are not as high as the older version’s scores, which is all good because they seem not to range as much and are more accurate. Everyone also knows that you can’t post scores with the older versions. So how are these people getting these high scores at greenecomputing.com Well I can’t vouch for everyone but I personally cheated, it was fairly easy here’s how to do it.

Get the older version

Run and Save you scores

Then install new version
