Hey all!

Not long time ago i've bought myself a kaiser, not knowing the driver issues. This phone is wayyyy too slow for me and i am going to sell it. I want to get a new one, but i just read that htc still doesn't deliver the correct drivers as with the devices with 1gHz qualcomm snapdragon processors. My friend bought a HTC HD2 and its nice and crisp with 2d, all i've noticed it runs d3d apps very slow, just like my kaiser did. I also read that it has problems with opengl games stuttering and being slow. i did not understand, does the turbo3d fix the issue, or does it just make it slightly better?

So can anyone please offer me some phones to think about?

I would really like to get a winmo 6.5 phone like hd2 or hd mini, also i wouldn't mind android but no nokia's or iphones please.

What do you think about hd mini, hd2, touch pro2? and about wildfire,desire,hero and nexus one?

I want a fully working device, not like my underperforming kaiser, i want all drivers, everything.

THANKS!

Do you need a specific carrier?

I like my Captivate (Galaxy S phone for AT&T) but it has GPS issues, and AFAIK, all the Galaxy S phones do.
[General Topics] award982:
nope i do not, i want to get non-branded

I had a kaiser for 4 years, then moved to the EVO on launch day. Couldn't be happier, phone is snappy as all hell, and haven't run into missing driver issues at all - the only thing HTC dropped the ball on with the EVO is capping the frame rate at 30 fps (which causes that stuttering), but if you're rooted, you can load a custom kernel that breaks the cap. Although I'm very familiar with the drivers that were missing from the kaiser, I haven't heard about any missing drivers on the EVO - care to provide a link?

Any of the galaxy s line of phones are good too - if you're coming from a kaiser, you may like the epic for the slide-out keyboard, bit they're all pretty much the same. These also have the top of the line performance for the 3d graphics that you mentioned. The 3d graphics on the EVO are pretty good (you only run into issues with some of the more demanding 3d games), but this is really where the galaxy s phones shine.

Unless you're really tied to wm6.5, I would stay away from it - it will be completely obsolete in just a few months when version 7 comes out. Unlike previous versions of wm, 7 won't be backwards compatible, so pretty soon there won't be any compatible apps for any wm6.5 devices. I would also say that any slowness or lagging that you saw on the hd2 was more than likely caused by wm, and not the chip. Give Android a shot - you won't be sorry. And stay away from the hero too, its not going to be upgraded anymire either - in fact you may want to stay away from any device without a 1ghz chip.

The epic actually doesn't, and the gps issues on the other galaxy s phones are all supposed to be patched by the end of Sep. :D

[General Topics] award982:
well i don't really like the looks of evo, what about desire? it runs droid 2.1, has a 1gHz processor, what do you think about it? What about hd2? i read somewhere that it has a 100% working port of android (1.6 i think, and i guess it will get an update to 2.2) also has a 1 gHz processor.

Anyways, i know hd2 supports multitouch, but i couldn't find anywhere if the desire does.

Now about galaxy S... i have bad memories about my samsung phones, its the only phone manufacturer i cant stand.

i guess its either hd2 (because i think its the best of the current models with wm) and some android model like desire or nexus one that has 1gHz processor.
[General Topics] j_rahman07:
i like the desire im actually thinking about picking one up real soon.
[General Topics] freakzone:
I have a desire. It's alright but its not brilliant. I got it because the carrier didn't offer a hd2. Android is very, very, very irritating. If you think it's linux - beware, it has nothing to do with it. I flashed a dozen roms, radios, rooted it, partitioned sd card. It either kills the sdcard or gets a huge memory leak. And it is not working properly. It is just not a market grade mobile os. It's for kids, women and enthusiasts. On top of that the xda section which deals with the desire is not very friendly.

Htc is about productivity, they were never about 3d graphics.

I don't play games but I would suggest you get HD2 or desire. The other htc models you mentioned are much slower, or think about a samsung, I don't like them but I hear the graphics are better
[General Topics] award982:
guess its hd2 or desire for me... any suggestions? is it worth buying a wm6.5 device even though wm7 is about to be released?
[General Topics] freakzone:
It's a bit hard, if you are used to winmo, you'll sure be irritated by the desire. Otherwise htc gave android some life, but expect difficulties. If you want winmo, you should probably wait for a mo7 device. I'm sure they will port it to the hd2 but it's not the same as the original device. That's why I got the desire. I will wait for several months after the mo7 launch and if it is any good I'll go for it. The desire is ok but it's just not what android fans claim it to be :)
[General Topics] Anderdroid:
Get a Galaxy S or a Nexus One, both amaaaaaaaaaaazing phones. Samsung got it right with the Galaxy S

And get away from Windows Mobile. I come from a Touch Pro 2 and it is a terrible, laggy OS. Android 2.1+ is where it's at

An HD2 (with Android running) or an Evo could be another option. The Desire is a slower phone than all of the other phones I've mentioned here.
[General Topics] award982:
i can deal with android, i use linux on my pc so i don't think it will be a problem. Anyways, you think winmo7 will be ported to hd2? the thing is that it will probably locked down like that dam iphone, i want something that i can easily transfer music, videos and photos. Is it worth buying an hd2 and maybe use the port of android to it so i would still have winmo and android? i heard some builds are 100% compatible and working on hd2, like from nexus and desire, so maybe hd2 is a better option?

Though, i know that it has some weird problems with open gl. I know there is an app called turbo3d, can anyone tell me does it fix the problem completely or is it just something that makes it slightly better? if so, im getting an hd2. whaddayathink?

anyways i will round it up, i don't want a n1 phone, its either hd2 or desire becouse i like sense more than that stock bs that comes with n1 (i know there are ports of desire's rom to n1, but do they work just as good on the n1 as they do on the desire?).
[General Topics] freakzone:
Well I had a touch pro with the soft ported from diamond2/pro2/hd2, then I got a diamond2. It was twice as fast with the same software and they were both winmo6,5 and both the infamous msm7xxx chipset. If you have this in mind you will easily conclude that the android port on HD2 will be pretty much a joke.

The nexus one is a bad joke. I don't intend to discuss samsung at all. The google software which is on the desire is again a bad joke, for example the gmail app crashes on the stock rom:confused:. What makes the desire a nice phone is the htc software inside, which is borrowed from winmo.

Don't mistake android with linux. I used linux before win7 came out. From my perspective linux is you. You can make it do whatever the hell you want. It can look the way you want. Android has nothing to do with linux. I rooted mine and if you think you can edit xorg.conf (doesn't exist anyway) or make the trackpad do whatever you want or customise it in the way you did with kde/gnome and compiz, just forget about it. It is just something which borrowed the name linux.

I'm not sure about the mo7 port but there are some brilliant guys in the mo section therefore it is a possibility.

You will be able to transfer stuff easily on the desire. With the apps, you won't get many because there is not enough space (for 10+). Yeahh they will say about apps to sd but what, either you transfer half the app, or you partition the sdcard and then it gets corrupted in 2 days which is sad if you don't have backup.

At the end you might be slightly better off with the desire as we don't know what is going on with mo7 and by the time it arrives the hd2 will be obsolete. The desire is a recent model so it will be ok for a year I guess :)
[General Topics] award982:
Maybe i should wait til wm7 is released, then maybe htc will release a new android phone that probably will have better software than n1 or desire, or maybe i will even buy something with wm7. OR MAYBE I SHOULD JUST BUY A FREAKING ASUS P535 that i used to have, witch worked without problems, all the apps worked fine, 3d was a blessing from the god itself. Damn the stupid qualcomm. I am actually very afraid of buying again from HTC. I had such high hopes for the kaiser when i bought it and i am afraid of buying some piece of **** again so im researching all the dirt i can find on the best smartphones.

Thanks freakzone for your time on helping me, i really appreciate it.

edit: i actually thought about customization of android like ubuntu. just imagine a 3d desktop cube on a tiny screen like that :D
[General Topics] freakzone:
No cube here:D. The desire is quite fast, but I don't use 3d. Android is alright, I only installed several apps like file browser and satnav, it just is not the magic stuff everyone claims it to be. Why don't you go to a store and play with it for a while, thats what I do. If you like it get it :)
[General Topics] award982:
i guess its either hd2 or desire for me, will go and play with those later today and see witch is better for me. I am so nostalgic about the good old times 2 years ago, having a p535 from asus was the best thing ever, it did everything i wanted it to do, it was fast and very rarely i had to restart it. I think i am going to get the hd2, even though i would like a hardware joypad but i think i can live with touch :D I'm just too sad that everything these days looks like a bloody iphone: nokias,htc's,samsungs, everything... i just can't stand it! i miss the good old days of wm with a square profiled pda with good, strong hw buttons and wm5 :D

[General Topics] nexus5894:
I have no idea how you think Android isn't "market grade"

Especially with sense, it's the best thing out there. You can't think the nearly 8-year-old WinMo 6 is BETTER can you? The HD2 hardly has ANY games on it, Android has few. iPhone is the only really good mobile phone gaming platform, but I'm betting on Android catching up.

The best phone you can get is definitely a Nexus One. If not, get a Desire (or equivalent Incredible) or the Samsung Galaxy S.
[General Topics] BigJayDogg3:
I agree with Android being market grade, but disagree with the general hate fir WinMo i've seen in this thread.WinMo is a dinosaur, but dinosaurs are still big and powerful creatures.

I personally don't like suggesting the N1 because of the problems i've heard of with the soft keys being hard to hit. And (not a very big deal) it only registers two points of contact iirc. My thing is if im going to pay money, i want the best, not something that is that limited.

I like the desire though. I wish more phones would have actual buttons. Between the Desire and the HD2, id get the Desire.

And i doubt the OP has issues with WinMo if he's been using it for years and us considering getting another WinMo phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] michael0702:
So this must be considered official firmware now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] arj03:
What build date?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] michael0702:
I don't know.

I just checked it before I flashed a friends phone with jm5.

It said Eclair.XWJM2 and baseband was xxjm1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] michael0702:
Correction, I didn't flash it, as it can't go into boot/download mode.

So I installed a ROM backup from my phone, with jm5 and samset, works perfect btw.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seraphine:
Do it via Kies instead then:

I can boot into download mode, screen with yellow triangle comes up, and i want to clear the cache, problems with a reflash

Can some one give me a line by line answer how to do this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:
After installing Vibrant6 and lag fix, my Quadrant score was 1992. I flashed back to stock using the stock firmware sticked in AD thinking I was going to try Eugene's Froyo. I decided against it and reflashed Vibrant6 and reinstalled the lag fix. Now my Quadrant score is only in the 800's.

Anyone know what would cause this or how to fix it? I made sure to remove the lag fix before I flashed back to stock and I even had Odin repartition when I flashed back to stock.

Lil help?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
the "lag fix" didnt take... do you notice a difference? After 2 weeks of use I cant tell the difference without...

Holding 3 diff Vibrants one stock, the others with different "lag fixes", think youd be able to tell which is which? I very seriously highly doubt it.. So seriously I had to use three adjectives..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:
yeah...its more of a bragging thing than a functionality thing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
I noticed a difference after soft bricking mine. When I download and install something from the market its faster without the lag fix. With the lag fix the phone just stops working or a second and then continues after it finishes installing. Without the lag fix there is no pause, it just keeps going. Moving around on the home screen there seems to be noticeable lag when you drag to different windows without the lagfix. With the lagfix it is non-existent.

Oh and I softbricked the phone by trying to use the lagfix removal from MCR scripts...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:
I just noticed the market thing last night. If you wait 1/2 second between button presses, its all good. I didn't have to wait at all pre-lag fix.

Very strange....
[Vibrant General] Jayrod1980:
Ok, before I get flamed, I've been trying to search to find a solution to this problem. I read somewhere about there being a software glitch when you power off the phone while plugged in.

Well I did that by mistake and now my phone battery indicator totally doesn't work. The phone shows half charged even when full, even within settings. What can I do other than reflash? I tried to delete battery stats in rom manager but I don't think that will work because I have ryan zas lag fix installed. Can someone help me?
[Vibrant General] Jayrod1980:
I pulled battery out and the phone still the same, ugh.
[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
yea the phones battery indicator is off. Nothing you could do about it. I use a widget called "Batterylife" by CurveFish.

It works great and pretty accurate.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
The solution is to root your phone and replace framework-res http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758797

[Vibrant General] Jayrod1980:
Just to clarify. I've never had this problem before, and its not the same as the battery indicator just being off. I'm not even getting the battery full pop up when plugged in and the settings show the actual percentage never full. I do however get normal battery life out of it regardless of what battery life shows, and I'm not just talking about the icon!

This started after powering off and then on while charging. The big green samsung battery icon popped up prior to the phone restarting and that was the start of this going on. I read about this issue on a prior thread but can't find it for the life of me, either when searching galaxy and vibrant using the search function. I want a mod, just the stock battery function as it was before.

Thanks for any help!
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Did you try flashing one of the more accurate battery indicators? Check out the ones in Themes section. They have the battery % and are either stock looking or circular. That might reset the indicator.

Dears folks,

I'm in search of a list of the references of the electronic components/parts of the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000.

In particular the reference of the main speaker (see pics attached) part since I've broken this part while replacing my broken LCD screen/digitizer.

I failed to find any OEM/electronic parts suppliers selling this.

Any idea ?

Thanks beforehand.

It will cost you around 25-30€ I recon.

Would anyone happen to know where to get a gps antenna? Its the sticker-type just beside the speaker.

I can make a small donation for whomever finds a such antenna.

The antenna assy is not sold separately.

You need to buy the whole middle frame.

Price is about 25 euros.

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a website where I can buy a special spare parts for my galaxy s!

This part is the mic, the physical button and the two touch buttons.

All this components stay in the same part

If you know what's the reference number of this part or where I can buy it, you may give me this.

thanks boys.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] itdoe:
For the 2 touch buttons ... lookout on eBay with the following keywords (I cannot give the direct link since I'm limited in my profile account here) :

"Flex Cable Keypad for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 wTracking"

... quite not sure it includes the mic and the "plastic" button at the bottom of the phone, tough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jawad_449:
Thanks itdoe. I'm just looking at this and there's the mic, that's exactely what I'm looking for! That's maybe the solution for my physical button which lost his sensitivity and the two touch button which doesn't work ...

But I have one more question :D :

Do you know where I can find the wire connecting this part and the mothercard? (like in the pics).

That's a standard cable or that's a spacial Samsung cable?

Someone know what's it utility?

I ask you that because I disconnect this cable and everything works in my phone only the two touch key.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jawad_449:
After some investigations, I found what's this wire. That's the network cable which work like your hearset for the radio in your Galaxy S. That's in fact an antenna! (maybe for bluetooth too, but I'm not sure for that!)

[Droid Incredible General] Asterdroid:
So, what I'd like to do is synchronize my facebook contact list with my gmail contacts, but not just on my phone. I want my gmail contacts updated as well. I wish there was a way to do this natively on the phone, but I don't know of one.

Is there a way to export your facebook contacts and birthdays to gmail?
[Droid Incredible General] MachString:
Last time I tried, you could export you facebook contacts to yahoo and then from yahoo to gmail... I don't know of a way to export directly to gmail.
[Droid Incredible General] Asterdroid:
Even just a way to get them out of the phone in CSV format would work. As long as the birthdays are included.

I actually tried the yahoo method but it was not working when I tried it. Kept getting 0 contacts imported.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
On the droid incredible forum they have figured out how to load up the EPST.apk and manually load PRL's. This has enabled many to load hybrid PRL's so that roaming on Sprints EVDO network is possible. The same instructions do not seem to work on the Droid X. Has anyone figured out how to load a manual PRL file aside from *228? Such an ability would do wonders for our signal strength.

Heres the link.
