[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
My upgrade is coming up in January but i want the Vibrant so badly that i think imma treat myself and pay full price for it, coz my current phone (omnia 2) is a so ****ty.

But reading all these lag/gps threads has put some second thoughts in my head and thinking of holding off and just upgrading in January and save a bit of cash as well or maybe even the torch.

What are your thoughts wait it out and see if samsung fixes the issues and not be out $500 or its worth buying now because the lag fixes fix everything and gps is not so bad?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if you need a new phone now, buy it

the problems you read are exaggerated as usual.

been using it for over a month using stock ROMs every feature works and no lags

GPS is a must thing for me, and it works as soon as i turn it on within 5~10sec

if you don't need a phone now

then wait for better phones coming out next year
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
well i don't want another phone and i think the vibrant is very nice better then my freezing and laggy omnia.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MKVFTW:
Get the vibrant now and save your upgrade for the next best thing next year. At $520 tax in its a steal now that you can unlock it for free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
My advise is wait for the September update, to see what happens. I don't care about the lag personally, but the GPS could be better (even though I don't use it really).

We'll know for sure then if the GPS will work. Because it is likely other devices with competing specs to this phone will be released, and if they support GPS better (and have ATMEL too), you'd be better off waiting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
thats th kind of advice i'm looking for, what devices would one be looking forward too that is par with the vibrant?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
Any of the new HTC phones, including the Desire HD. They admittedly have the now infamous 1Ghz snapdragon but theres a good possibility they are paired with an Adreno 205 (which has a graphics chipset based on Power VR SGX 535). That would give the HTC phones equal performance considering froyo + will be better optimised for snapdragon processors.

Graphics performance is not as good as the galaxy s chipset but good enough.

HTC's in general I've found are better built but now were encroaching on personal preference territory. This may be simply because HTC have had more time to perfect android or just Ive had a more solid experience with HTC android phones.

rest assured there will be a whole flood of non-samsung androids come christmas so perhaps hold off till end of September and pick the best price/feature phone at that time. More exciting is the prospect of google tv, greater adoption and connection of android devices.

p.s. theres also windows mobile and its host of offerings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
In regards to Windows Mobile, unfortunately, Microsoft seems to have joined the party much too late (which is a pity actually). I don't believe WM7 will survive, because Blackberry owns the corporate market, Apple owns the home market, Symbian/custom OS's owns the cheaper smartphone market and Android owns the technical market (although, it is now accelerating it's growth).

Btw, the SGS isn't the only phone having issues. On the iPhone, people are still having issues with the proximity sensor, and the only solution for iPhone users for the antenna is to use a bumper if they suffer for the issue (or become right handed).

Yep, and the Nexus One wasn't perfect either:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/186399/google_faces_deluge_of_nexus_one_complaints.html . Remember that? And now, people LOVE the nexus one.

The main issue seems to be GPS though on this phone, as people who oppose the lag found switching to EXT fixes their issue.. But GPS, there was no known solution. So whilst there may be similar phones released in september, I forgot to mention you should either wait to see what GPS does, or wait a while before grabbing another phone (because they might have other serious issues on release).

But be cautious about claims made in forums, and wait until you see proof (even here). One idiot who owned a Sony Ericson blog claimed with authority that this phone definitely had 360MB RAM (rather than the full 512), I see people constantly grab quadrant and take note of every 0.5%-1% increase in score they see and try to correlate them to speed of the ROM (because 1% increase in quadrant would be visibly noticeable?) and I've seen people claim that because NMEA sends dodgy packets, the problem is DEFINITELY hardware, without checking if the drivers, or the device is sending them.

Make sure you wait for sufficient evidence. If the GPS DOES get fixed though, and tracking software consistently shows accurate tracks (when sitting down and moving), I'd personally recommend selecting this phone, because unlike the current competing devices, it has good hardware (even a proper multitouch controller), and we mostly know it's problems and limitations now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Even the HTC Desired have (had) the problem with the proximity sensor, good thing our great team at XDA made a hack to fix that.

unfortunately or fortunately depending how you look at it, iphone people are not as free to do as they please with their phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphaace007:
Buy it

This Phone is SWEET.

sending a playlist to my windows 7 computer, which connects to my stereo with an outdoor speaker, while sitting outside drinking wine and smoking a cigar. Priceless.

This phone Rocks. buy one, hell buy two lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azgull:
I ordered one yesterday, coming from an Omnia HD with Symbian on it I reckon this will be a pretty huge upgrade. Even given the minor bugs there is. I'll put my trust in that Samsung will fix those bugs in Froyo which is coming in less than a month anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Am I the only one here who came from a K750i, or another ancient dumbphone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootx1:
:eek: Not in public please! ;)

OP - Mine was delivered yesterday - I'd say buy one. It's awesome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
I'd definitely recommend waiting, but not because of the lag/gps ; Gingerbread should allow for some awesome phones come this holiday season(mainly phones with a higher res).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azgull:
Also figured I'd mention that coming from AMOLED; I don't think I'd able to downgrade that. The washed out blacks are so dreadful. Super AMOLED promising even better contrasts (and actually working in sunlight) can only be a winner. I did consider waiting for Desire HD, but choose not to, purely because of the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izmenar:
What do you guys think are the chances of i9000 getting gingerbread ???

Samsung said official 2.2 will be around september, and 3.0 will be launched around mid-october , so maybe we will have 3.0 for i9000 around february

Desire HD will launch around mid-september , it will come with 2.2, and will probably get 3.0 in december - january
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Nobody knows.. Nobody even knows what the specs for gingerbread are. Any reply would be guesses izmenar. The only reason we probably wouldn't get it, is if it required dual core, but dual core mobile CPU's aren't being released for a while
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
StreamTV A7

Tegra 2 should have a dual core Cortex-A9.

Only thing we know for sure is that custom UIs won't be supported in Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Did Google say that, or was it rumored
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerRaven:
Hi there,

i have my Galaxy S for about 2 Weeks and i am happy with it.

The Display is very clear (even with an lower resolution than the IP4).

No jailbreaking or something else to get some stuff working on this nice phone.

Nice functions and a good UI.

Great phone!

...only GPS sucks a little bit, but i hope this will be fixed ;)

Greetings

DerRaven
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebise101:
i will for sure hold of till 2.2 comes out which is a month away. I traded my omnia 2 for a black berry 9700 which is a upgrade in itself :P, I may hold of for the desire HD but the only problem is i dunno how log we will have to wait as i'm canadian and we just got the desire and even then its telus and i'm with bell :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Rumored, but I think that google has come out with an official statement that they are working on improving the stock UI(hopefully adding GPU acceleration), which in turn could mean the death of custom UIs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Yeah.. That's what I heard, but they wouldn't force people to use their own components if they don't want to...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bec07:
I say go for it! I still have 6 moths from my old contract and I made a new one just to get the Galaxy S.

The lag is no real issue IMHO, I haven't decided on a fix yet, instead I'm playing with rooting and hacks to see what I'm going to keep once I officially flash to 2.2.

100% worth it my friend :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
How much space is allocated to install apps on the vibrant? I ask cause its a toss up between the vibrant and the x10i for me even though the x10i is on 1.6. The x10i has about 356mb of space for apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excessive81:
phone locks up and reboots....then comes on and locks up and reboots...itried factory reset and deleted my sd card with no luck...any ideas
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
Are you rooted? After what did this start to occur?

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excessive81:
i was going thru the new root method for 2.2

i got n error after the toggle sirplane mode on and off. after that the phone started going on and off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excessive81:
took to sprint store. they looked at it ...did everything i tried basicaly and ordered a new one. it be here monday or tuesday...... talk about sucking!!! only thing worse then waiting for it to come out...is after you get it ...it f's up and you have to wait for new one. what i dont get is it is covered under warranty, they have evo's in stock yet i have to wait for new one to be ordered.... they handed me back my old phone so it not like they sending it in to see what the issue is
[Epic 4G General] 2kidz:
my friend just texted me that RS called him today to tell him the epic arrived at the store today and would be ready for p/u tomorrow! this dude is normally a jokester but he swears he's not lying THIS TIME! what do u guys think? is this possible???
[Epic 4G General] sling:
Nope

........
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
Someone on androidforums said they got their call too and tried to get it today but the system wouldn't ring it up. Even if you wanted it super super bad, there's no way for it to be sold to you at this point.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
Awwwww...... That sucks. I would be heart broken standing there at the register so close to my Epic.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
Yeah, getting to hold it, toy with it, fill out all the forms and essentially have it set to go, but unable to ring up and actually do the transaction. It would be depressing. It's a shame too, cuz if they were somehow magically selling the phone tomorrow, I would gladly go to a radioshack and try to pick one up. Them selling it today or tomorrow would be the only way I am buying this phone in the next 2-3 weeks.
[Epic 4G General] ConceptVBS:
Thats worse than waiting! :eek:
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
Not if you ask to see the phone, then run out of the store with it before they sell it to you. Then you get it early and free ;)
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
I just called RS and they say I have to wait till 8/31. My case for the epic came in today. My wife is laughing at me because I'm playing with the case pretending I have my Epic.:) The Epic is almost half as thick as my FUZE and the epic sceen opening is almost as big as the FUZE. I got a carbon Fiber case to make the phone faster. :)
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Just called my radioshack, and they said they didn't have the phone in stock. I think they are lying to me. XD

Either way, she told me I won't be able to pick it up till tuesday. :p
[Epic 4G General] 2kidz:
welp...so i guess my dilemma now is to determine if my bud is lying (again) or if RS is lying (to my bud) either way, it really dont matter as i STILL cant p/u MINE until tuesday!!!! thanks guys...i tend to believe u guys OVER my friend or RS!!!! ha!
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
whered u get ur carbon fiber case from? i want one!
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
You do know that if its real carbon fiber that your phone won't get a signal inside it right?Carbon fiber messes with radio signals.
[Epic 4G General] dr.pepper1:
Yeah that was me that went down and nearly walked out with 2 Epics. The phones are activated and in my name. The Radio Shack cash register just isn't able to let me purchase them until Tuesday. The cashiers tried. They were scanning every barcode on the box, trying to figure out which one would work for checkout.
[Epic 4G General] ls3mach:
Did you try leaving them the money and the box and taking the phone with you?
[Epic 4G General] dr.pepper1:
No, didn't ask, though I doubt they would have let me. I'm just glad to know that the phones are in stock and waiting for me on Tuesday.
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
No it's not real carbon fiber for $6.95 and free shipping. It's made out of plastic and has a rubberized feel so it won'tslip out of your hand. http://cgi.ebay.com/Carbon-Fiber-Ha...665056?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51949cf420 I put hard cases on all my phones.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
You should have just have them scan another phone and then have them manually write on the receipt of the change...I know I wouldn't have walked out without the phone >.> lol
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
BE WARY OF CHEAP SNAP ON CASES OFF EBAY.

I've had many of these cases, and they are all made in china. Every since one I've ever used has not fit the phone properly, had gaps all around the edges of the 2 pieces, and in general where just cheap. :|
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Well I will be the tester for the group. I will post as so as I get the phone. It's only $6.95 :)
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
thanks for being the tester for the group! I would do it too except unfortunately I have to wait til the 15th to get the epic

Non je n'ai pas mis Cookie parce qu'il ralentit la rom, Je veux bien poster une version GTX si tu es interessé....;)

Personally I like android taskbar but I don't know if everyone would like. Also it'is easy to install with as a cab....:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cassios:
Ah une version GTX en Français, je suis fortement interessé.

Personnellement j'adore GTX!!

J'attendrais donc que tu sortes une version GTX pour flasher :-)

Par contre, une question. as tu mis Opera 10 dedans? Car pour info j'ai remarqué qu'Opéra 10 installé sur la carte mémoire était beaucoup plus rapide qu'installé sur le tel. Accessoirement, sur la carte mémoire, il garde les infos d'Opéra Link.

Et aussi Opéra 10 ne sait pas gérer la barre de Zoom du topaz/Diamond2, il faut nécessairement la version 9.7.

Il vaut mieux donc laisser la version 9.7.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dragonkaiser:
Opera 9.7

Dans la rom tu trouveras opéra 9.7. Quant à la version GTX j'ai du mal à mettre comme thème par défaut (skin de la taskbar et de la softbar), surement il faudra la selectionner dans les paramètres......:mad:

In the rom u will find Opera 9.7.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cassios:
Dans tous les cas, j'attends la première ROM française GTX avec impatience :-p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bbone:

Premiers retours.

Quand on clique sur la croix pour fermer un programme, il est toujours en mémoire, faut aller dans le gestionnaire de process. Ca serait bien qu'il soit fermé

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dragonkaiser:
Arkswirch and CHTEditor

For close the programs use Arkswitch, it's a taskmanager.The newer 6.5.3 builds have taken the task manager from the taskbar . CHTEditor is installed. Check the following key. Report if u find anything missing.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"CHTE.Path"="\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\CHTEditor.exe"

Pour fermer les programmes utilise Arkswitch, car il n'y a plus de configuration pour le bouton X dans les version 6.5.3. Tappe dans la zone vide de la taskbar, le logiciel apparaitra et tu pourras fermer ton programme.

Pour CHTEditor il est installé mais CHT ne le trouve pas. Verifie que CHTEditor est

bien installé dans \Program Files\CHTEditor\CHTEditor.exe et ensuite assure toi que cette clé est bien inscrite dans le registre. Si il manque quelque chose dit le moi.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"CHTE.Path"="\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\CHTEditor.exe"
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cassios:
Manifestement la clé ne s'y trouvait pas.

Quand je réinstalle par dessus CHT, il le trouve donc cela vient bien de cette clé.

Sinon la fluidité de la ROM est pas mal du tout mais quelle version de CHT utilises tu?

Par contre les bandes noires en haut et en bas, ce n'est pas très joli avec GXT.

Et quand j'installe S2U2, Sense ne veut plus démarrer après un soft reset (c'est ce qui m'a fait supprimer ta ROM car j'utilise le mot de passe sur S2U2).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] dragonkaiser:
Gtx & cht 1.8.5

OK dans la prochaine version je ferais attention à ce que la clé y soit.

Concernant les bandes noires il faut aller dans Paramètres\Accueil et selectionne GTX 6.5.X thème pour avoir les jolies couleurs blanche et grise de la taskbar et la softkeybar.

Concernant S2U2 je ne sais pas pourquoi ce n'est pas compatible, j'essayerai de voir ce que je peux faire.

Tu peux aussi definir des mots de passe avec ma rom en allant dans Paramètres\Verrouiller choisit alphanum. complexe ou code pin simple. Ainsi quand tu voudras dévérouiller il faudra entrer le mot de passe....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cassios:
Ok.

S2U2 propose un truc interessant, c'est de demander le mot de passe uniquement après 5 minutes de mise en veille.

Cette fonctionnalité est très pratique (notamment en cas de vol).

Je pense que je vais réinstaller et tenter de voir pq j'ai eu un pb avec S2U2.
