Is this phone so unpopular, that nobody makes ROM or there is no Hard SPL or what?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi everyone,

Just curious which forum is the best for the GT-i9000M on Bell as it is referred to as the Galaxy S and also as the Vibrant and I see that the Vibrant has its own fourm here on the site.

Dont know if it makes a difference or if there IS a significant difference between the 2 devices so any information out there that you can provide will be appreciated.

I have always used the i9000 forum and have never really even looked at what the Vibrant forum has to offer.

Please advise...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franckqcc:
From what I know, I'ld classify it as the Galaxy S I9000 because the other one (Vibrant) have 4 buttons on the front and no front camera if I'm not mistaking...

Witch make the Vibrant different in term of hardware and therefore, causing compatibility issues with firmwares changes between one and the other.

The Bell one have only 3 buttons at the front buttom and a front camera also... just like the Galaxy S I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
This is what I alwys assumed to be the case but it makes me wonder then... Why is this phone called the Samsung Galaxy S - Vibrant? Is this just a marketing ploy or gimmick? :confused:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
as for differences between the I9000 models

well the EURO model got a crappy GPS

the Canadian model got a weak Internal SD but good GPS
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Not entirely true allgamer. My gps is NOT so good. It gets a signal lock SOMETIMES but then shows me on different streets (usually within a few blocks of my actual location) and then bounces around sometimes... Not the best thats for sure...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
hmm... interesting, which GPS app are you using?

have you tried adjusting the accuracy settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
It does this on both the Google Maps and the Google Navigation program on my phone. I have not tried it on the "paid" nav. app as I dont want to pay for it.

How do you set these settings that you speak of?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
there are OpenSource Android GPS programs we have a topic about it... there are 4 or more to choose from

and there is NAVphone which is being given away for free by Samsung

find the GPS app topic on the Applications & Themes section

as for accessing the GPS menu use the Secret Codes, then you can adjust the settings of the Accuracy, by default is 50
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Thanks for the info allgamer. I will look up the gps forum in a few mins. As for the NAVphone app you say that Samsung is giving away... Where do you find it? Is it in the topic that you speak of?

It is not in Samsung Apps on my phone so if you can tell me where I get it then that would be great.

As for these secret codes... Again... Where do I find these codes? Are they in the gps topic you speak of as well?

Please advise...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
The GPS bug isn't related to the app using the GPS.

Of course you will not always see errors with car navigation app. That's not the point. A software that shows your location on a map is much more precise.

Anyways it is clearly not true that every GT-i9000M has a good GPS, as many people (me included) reported problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

I have it installed, so when hit the home button it gives the option to go from launcher pro or tw, and unchecked. If uninstall launcher pro will it automatically switch to touch wiz?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rixter213:
yup

Yes it will. If you want to keep Launcher pro installed and are thinking of getting other different themes, I would recommend getting "Home Switcher". Its an app that works really good, and makes it easy when switching back and forth between homes/themes.

Hopes this helps.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] pinoymutt:
In fact if you ever want to use Kies or Mini Kies to update your firmware (which it looks like you may need for a future Froyo update) you'd be best downloading Home Switcher as mentioned above because you need to reset the default launcher to TouchWiz to get Kies to work properly.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Can't believe HTC uses the Q8250 which is now almost 100% confirmed.

Byebye HTC, never liked your phones anyway, they are crappy as phones. Pooooooooooor speakers, pooooooooor batterylife, poooooooooooooooor cameras, pooooooooooor reception.

All above is right compared to other brands, the 4 most important things in a phone aswell, bad bad.

This certainly doesn't look like they are shaping up :(

Edit: Either way, good find OP :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I, for one, don't care what chip is in my phone as long as the outcome is good. From everything we've seen, the performance, including 3D Games, is pretty damn good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
But could have been better, as well as:

*Cheaper

*More energy efficient

*Newer

Why accept old "crap" in extremely expensive premium devices?
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
I don't don't seem to understand why your angry at HTC and MS for using the Q8250 processor.

Think about it this way, That processor is the minimum hardware requirement for WP7, so every application and game will be optimized for all devices and developers can take full advantage of the hardware.

Now lets talk about Android fragmentation. Even if you get a Android device with a 2ghz processor and Froyo the applications won't take full advantage of you hardware. Why is that? Because there are Froyo devices on the market with 528mhz and 600mhz qualcomm processors.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Because it's not "ancient" or "crap" and will allow for devices to be cheaper than they otherwise would be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
I also can't understand what is happening? It's one thing if HTC would have gone mad or something, but all leaks is pointing towards the QSD8250.

If you don't want a cheaper phone that preforms better and have a better battery time, it's up to you, but I want exactly that!
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I hate to state the obvious but doesn't EVERY first gen wp7 device have the same qualcomm processor? strict hardware requirements anyone?

I mean if you knock htc for doing that you may as well knock everyone else for doing it. Fact is that's what microsoft specified for the first crop of devices
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Do you have a link? We're just complaining that all the leaks are leading to the first gen Qualcomm processor. You know, the one that was in the Toshiba TG-01 back in June 09, with the lacklustre Adreno 200 GPU. If it's the newer snapdragons with the Adreno205 GPU, then that'd be ALOT more acceptable for a current generation device.

In saying that, the Harvest game demo looks hot, but personally, i find it hard to believe that the Adreno200 is doing such good eye candy. I'd like to be proven wrong.

I'm still crossing my fingers that Samsung will have a hummingbird/SGX540 in theirs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I just want to know what people are referencing to make them think the 8650 is cheaper than the 8250? I'm not buying that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Dont know about cheaper, but it should be abit faster, and less power hungry giving better battery life, due to it being 45nm rather than 65nm. The real breaker is the GPU really. The Adreno 200 on the QSD8250 is like 1/3 the speed of the SGX540.

There are still rumours about that WP7 devices might have the QSD8250A processor @ 1.3ghz, so theres still hope.

Here's a list of Snapdragon CPU's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(processor)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Well I get that but people are claiming that it's cheaper as well which seems highly unlikely to me. Maybe over time but not yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
45nm parts are cheaper to make since they can fit more of them on a single wafer. I have no idea if they are sold cheaper or not to manufacturers but they are cheaper to make.
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
Op thanks for the look. You still need to remove the second pic as there is no information that isn't in the first except who is logged in.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
I believe the 8255 is cheaper, because it's manufactured on a 45nm process instead of the 65nm. That means more chips per waffer = lower prices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
I partly agree, however:

Microsoft have said all phones will run all programs, no fragmentation. But we do know that if not the first wave uses the Adreno 205, the second one will. How long will the game developers care about the ones with the first Adreno 200 users?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Exactly! The Adreno 205 is already going to be in the Desire HD... why put it on an Android device where its graphic capabilities won't be used to its max. potential? (ie Android being fragmented, devs have alot of devices to be compatible with, the more devices they're apps are compatible with, the more sales).

By the time the second wave of WP7 devices launch, the Adreno 220 will most likely be launched with console-like graphic capabilities... meaning we'll again be a generation behind... ><
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
To have an extra selling point and charge more for the device, obviously. That you will hardly find a game that will fully utilize the hardware is another story.

Let's get Desire HD with this powerful new processor and a Mondrian, and compare which one is snappier, smoother, lasts longer and has better games. The outcome isn't at all certain, given HTC's poor history in making 3D drivers for new hardware.

There is a valid point about starting a platform with a not-highly-enough-specced GPU that I can agree with, though. But on the other hand I don't see a lot of problems with this in the iOS camp. The difference between 3G and 3GS was rather drastic, but you still have the same games for both devices, and 22 million polygons per second isn't all that crappy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
IMO it probably was a scheduling conflict or part of some sort of business strategy.

Sorry if this has been asked a lot, but i cant find it anywhere.

I am trying to figure out if there is an easy way to update the phone (settings, app arrangement etc..) after flashing a new rom. I flashed cognitions rom the other day, and had to manually arrange everything and i lost all my text messages and settings.

before flashing i did a nandroid backup of my old rom, and i made a backup of my apps using Titanium Backup, so that was easy to get my apps back on my phone, but i had to re arrange everything, and setup my phone basically like it was new.

So is there anything that i could use to basically import all my settings from my old rom, or everytime you flash you have to redo everything?

[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
I know it is safe to backup just your application and app data. The restore put all the apps back where they were before.

But I have read too much bad mojo from users trying to restore everything. Too many things going bad after doing as full restore.

Personally I would stick with just the apps and app data, it isn't tojo much if a hassle to get set back after they are back in after a flash.

But other people might say other wise.....

[Desire General] hamdir:
just want to offer advice to those who are still confused about this

i just switched from amoled to SLCD desire after one month of usage and believe me when i say the difference is day and night

SLCD is just much better, finally a clean true 252dpi display, no more dots, lines are finally lines, its just so impressive how sharp it is

colors and tint are more real and to my surprise blacks are good too, not as good as amoled blacks but very close, viewing angles are incredible and i don't know but even sunlight visibility is better (don't know what engadget was on about) at full brightness it's brighter then amoled

i placed it next to an iphone 4 and the pixel density didn't match of course but pretty close, colors and blacks to my pleasant surprise turned out better then the iphone 4 like a middle ground between retina and amoled

battery life seems better so far

i'm sticking with Desire for it's form factor, but seriously hope the Desire HD will feature SLCD because without is a real pitty, for me amoleds never again

check this detailed article about the matter http://gizmodo.com/5649483/smartphone-display-shoot+out

I think in a while amoleds will rule, samsung galaxy s' samoled looks really nice but I am happy I have a slcd desire and not an amoled one. On paper the amoled's specs might look better but in day to day usage the slcd desire is superior (eg in a line up the amoled will beat the slcd is 8 out of 10 tested variables but in real live usage you will probable just encounter in 90% of the time the 2 variables were the slcd beats the amoled)
[Desire General] zen123:
I just replaced my Samsung Galaxy S for a HTC Desire (it has an SLCD screen). I deliberately compared the two displays before I sold the SGS & from what I could see the SOLED betters the SLCD only in contrast levels & deep blacks. In all other aspects the SLCD screen for me is superior.

Most noticeable is the sharpness of the SLCD over the SOLED. Text is readable in web page overview on the HTC where on the Samsung its not.
[Desire General] hamdir:
waw you replaced your galaxy with a standard desire :)

we can't deny how lush amoled colors can look in videos but image quality had serious issues, dithering as well as color banding, all gone now
