I tend to agree. I only put media on my external anyway, and even Class 2 is fast enough to play Avatar. Our internal app space is huge--I feel like I'm an app whore and I'm not even halfway full.

Completely agree. I mentioned hukkguai in my first post on this page noting that he could play video on his class 2 card and he was fine with that. I was just only bringing this up because I wanted people to know that if they are worried about speed and feel like buying a faster card will be money well invested, I wanted to show that it's not. Unless you're using it on a DSLR or a media card reader you might not get what you pay for when buying a top end flash card. Also it was nice to chat about this cause now I have fleshed out some more of the reasons why this idea is true. I read it somewhere awhile ago but I lost my source. A lot of people were complaining around the time of the G1 that they upgraded from a 4gig class 6 card to a 8 gig class 6 card and got slower speeds. I investigated along with others and found this solution.
[Vibrant Accessories] Persanity:
Where did I call you a moron or "denote" you as being mentally deficient? I said it shows a LACK of intelligence that you can't argue a point without insulting people,not that you have NO intelligence. Maybe you should have read what I said better. If somebody gives advice that is wrong by all means correct that advice but you don't need to flame somebody while correcting them, which btw is where my problem lied. I find it amusing that people on this and many other forums always tell people to "read the whole thread before (insert idiotic comment here)", Nothing I said indicated that I had or had not read the entire 3 page thread. With all that being said I will apologize if you feel like I was insulting you as that was not the point I was trying to make. I've read many of your posts in different threads and you have good information and its great you share it but I can't agree with the way you share it, Im sure others would agree with me when I say your posts would be more enjoyable with all the "(s)ass" removed. Out of curiosity what is it I need a dictionary for? EDIT: oh, I see why. Thank you for letting me know!

LOL when i read your headline i knew exactly what you were going to say.

[Vibrant General] sp4rky:
I visit the forums almost daily and there is always somebody spewing the same "if you don't like it then make your own" statement. You guys are as bad as the people asking about new roms and 2.2. The OP has a legitimate question and he wasn't rude about it either.

I'm curious too is this because the need more then the source or are they just trying to finish up the builds they were working on before the 2.2 source came out.
[Vibrant General] 2012iawait:
thank you!! these ****ing assholes think just because they know little about the phone they can say anything they want.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
LOL you guys really expect developers to drop what they were already working on just because 2.2 source was released and on top of that it was released a week ago you really think there would be a 2.2 ROM out so quickly...be realistic.

BTW the person you should probably be asking is eugene373...feel free to PM him
[Vibrant General] sp4rky:
We are just curious, we aren't demanding anything other than how things work in the dev community. At least that is what my post was about.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
I think the devs still need the source code from vibrant froyo or vibrant froyo itself.... this is due to the differences in hardware between vibrant and international galaxy s
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
No, it's because they're on a message board that they can say anything they want.

You ask a legit question, but if you've spent any time on these boards you should know that a "Where's Froyo?" thread is going to get hammered. And if you didn't know that, you should go to the Development forum and find out where Froyo is. From my understanding, Eugene373 is going to drop a build soon.
[Vibrant General] k4ylr:
Go follow any one of excellent chefs/architects that work on the vibrant. They seem to work endlessly in putting out new content and in fact eugene had posted a few times on his twitter about 2.2 and its coming along.

Do a bit of outside research and you'll get your information. There is a Jp3 froyo in the development section as well.

Its a legitimate question but common sense and just basic browsing of the dev thread would have given you a clear answer.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
I know i said you guys... but that was more so towards OP, not you.

you could take what he said both ways and i mistook it as he was *****ing about no 2.2 roms yet

[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I've kept my Nexus super fresh, but I'm starting to notice some wear&tear in the form of scratches on the chin... their are small chips of the what feels like Teflon spray that are missing near the 3 pins and mini usb. Underneath is what seems to be a shinier plastic so what I guess I'm asking is has anyone else experienced this and if so do you think the back and bottom piece made out of the same material. The back is plastic but if it's the same material I'd consider sanding it down and see a shinier nexus or possibly paint it. Let's hear your suggestions
[Nexus One General] jeallen0:
Im having the same issue with what seems to be coating chipping on the bottom edge near and behid the charging port. I tend to keep very good care of my phone and have no idea whats causing it... ive never thought about sanding it down to the material below though.
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
i have the scratches on the corners near the chin... i use a case and thats what is causing the phone to scratch there
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I wonder if the back is the same material... If it is il give it a go and tell you how it went
[Nexus One General] jeallen0:
The battery door and the bottom are the same material, but the strip in between the two that wraps around the housing is aluminum i think.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
All right well when I'm off school I'm gonna tape off the aluminum and sand it with a light sandpaper

Il keep you guys posted
[Captivate General] life2monkeys:
Hey guys, quick question. I'm not that familiar with ROM development, so I turn to you. I highly doubt that we can count on sammy to develop gingerbread for us, so do we think that it will even be possible to port it? Reading design gears thread, it seems that he can't quite get true AOSP running on the captivate because of how heavily samsung has modified the OS, does this mean that we will never see sweet 3.0? If that's the case, than it might be time to sell and buy a nexus one...
[Captivate General] life2monkeys:
this is a bump
[Captivate General] ronandi:
Samsung-Firmwares posted this 8 hours ago:

"We got this information from our Samsung insiders. Samsung is also thinking about Android 3.0 for Galaxy S"

They also posted that Samsung is working on a new fw to be released in November...
[Captivate General] life2monkeys:
COOL! Thanks so much for your reply, I would love to see an official release from samsung, although the november release is most likely froyo
[Captivate General] di11igaf:
The messed up thing is they shouldn't be 'thinking' about it. It should be a definite. This is supposed to be the best hardware ever released on a phone so there's no reason why it shouldn't be available. If its not, although i love the galaxy s, i will never buy another Samsung product in my life
[Captivate General] YoungGun821:
*rubs crystal ball*

I see our xmas gift as Android 2.2...

And Easter of next year, Samsung makes an announcement that 3.0 is cominig to the Galaxy S phones in the US..
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
My crystal ball tells me that Samsung will release 3.0 with a new Galaxy S II phone and leave current Galaxy S onwers hang and dry.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
I'll wager they don't do this.I'll wager there will lots of happy Galaxy owners this time next year.We won't have the fastest phone..but we will have stable releases by Samsung..or the developers here will port it over anyways :D

Either way..it's going to be interesting to say the least for those of us that keep them

[Captivate General] foxbat121:
So, AndroidAndMe.com posted a rumor about Samsung is going to have a new Google-Experience phone running on new hardware (Tegra 2 based) and Gingerbread ready by the end of 2010.

There goes your dream any Galaxy S phones getting Generbread ever.
[Captivate General] prodigalOne:
Why would you say that? Samsung released the Galaxy S to 4 carriers, and are DIRECTLY competing with Apple with hardware aimed at the iPad and even the iPod Touch! Why anyone would think Samsung would just drop a top of the line smartphone on us and hang us out to dry is very stupid, and not very thought out.

Samsung, if possible, WILL "think" about Gingerbread. And by "think" they don't mean mull it over some peanuts and beer, they mean QA, hardware analysis, software development. They didn't come along to latch a customer on for a year, they came on to steal the market from Apple, and the latest Beta Froyo should let you all know they're doing alot more than thinking about it.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Because I have owned 5 Samsung Smartphones and couple DVD players as well as their top of line Blu Ray players. And they did exactly like I said to every single product I purchased.

Samsung's market strategy is to blanket market with latest and greatest hardware every 6 months or so. Everything they released so far always have something unfinished or not working. By the time they fix all the issues, the existing product is discontinued and a new generation of the product is already on the market. And the cycle continues.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Problem with phones are the 2 year contract. If samsung just leaves everyone who bought a galaxy s phone out to dry, so much for potential sales for our next phone.

Anyways, since the galaxy tab will (?) receive gingerbread, i'm hopefull it will be on our phones, through samsung or xda.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Just go ask those samsung behold owners about how samsung treated those who purchased their first android phones.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i dont understand what this has to so with att? i keep on seeing the blame put on att but the vibrant doesnt have anything that the captivate doesn't have 'cept for hsupa. if the vibrant had froyo and plans for ginger bread then yeah i could see att getting thrown in but att doesnt decide the fate of the whole galaxy s line. froyo is coming, gingerbread might be or might not be, i have a fealing that froyo will be realesed on the whole galaxy s usa line about the same time, and they may be holding back on the gsm phones untill it is ready for the cdma phones which will take longer as there are more differences in hardware for the epic and fascinate. i have an aquaintance at samsung who is a senior engineer for the cdma phones. he cant give me details but in general he said they are working around the clock on the froyo update and there shouldn't be an unusually long wait. for what ever that's worth. i dont know about gingerbread but i can only hope.
[Captivate General] Justinph5:
So he can tell you about Froyo but not about plans or no plans for Gingerbread? :confused: What about what they're improving in the Froyo build that's taking it so long?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
A few observations:

1. I probably want Gingerbread, but not sure. Until i read some reviews I can't make that decision. Just because it is new doesn't make it better.

2. The carriers have to want it, or at least be willing to test it. If not, Samsung won't build it for that carrier. And we know that the ROMs or at least the kernel is carrier specific.

3. At what point does everyone reasonably expect a manufacturer to Keep rolling out new features for existing products? Especially when they do it for free. It costs money to port the Google release to each platform - so if you got Gingerbread, would you expect HaagenDaz? Then IceCream? Jellybean? - at what point would people stop complaining if the phone is no longer eligible for updates.

4. I blame Google on this - their announcement and release cycle does nothing but put the manufacturers behind the 8 ball. In one calendar year, they had 1.5 and 1.6 on phones, announced and delivered 2.1, 2.2 and now 3.0. I think Apples 1 year cycle makes more sense. Even the 3rd party app developers can't keep up with Google. If they would start adding features as patches - that would help too. Google has great ideas and great features, but all these new things, just get people mad at the manufacturers that can't keep up.

5. Anyone that know software development (not basement coding, but SDLC and QA), knows that Samsung isn't delaying 2.2 on purpose - this stuff takes time. With 3.0 just being made available it will be more months before it could possibly make it to our phones - they promised 2.2 and they still have to finish that first. 3.0 could easily be destined for a hardware refresh in July - but we could still see an offering for our phones too - we won't know until it happens.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Good post...and I agree with you. There are tons of people who have to have the latest and greatest all the time..even if it is totally untested and non-reliable. All one has to do is to look at any of the developers threads to see this.They need people to test it out and give quality/honest feedback to make it better,but at the same time look at all of the people having issues because they don't or didn't follow simple instructions..and have no idea of what they are doing in the first place. Also..having the latest and greatest is a huge selling point with lots of revenue for the manufactures and least we not forget..Google who has to have new people using their service to bring in more money .

Gingerbread will eventually be released and as it stands right now from what I have read our phones will be able to run it. If more things are added to it and the system requirements increase..then we not ever get it pushed to our phones in official form. I've been down that road recently with the HTC Hero in this,and I believe just like the Aria folks as well for AT&T.It was promised..then things changed... I bought my Hero prior to 2.2 being released and when Sprint and everyone else said it would handle it and was slated to get it..ultimately the system requirements kept it off it in a official form..luckily Cyanogen made it work for it..and work exceedingly well. The Hero still has a lot of development going on for it..just as I suspect the Galaxy will too if for some reason only the dual core processors get the nod for it.

Mac
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Also agreed. Those who want, and inevitably get, the latest and greatest are the one who complain the most when it doesn't work. That's what you get for being a first adopter.
[Captivate General] sublimaze:
+1

samsung will offer froyo by year's end, but that will be the last official update. samsung routinely provides ONE firmware update for a phone, then drops support for that device while focusing on the next model. someone from xda will probably make gingerbread work on the captivate, but it won't be an official release. if you want a "futureproof" phone, you are better off buying anything but a samsung
[Captivate General] stuff:
you're correct in theory, BUT you're missing one point..

Google's CEO Eric said that soon they are going to only release software updates once a year. Which makes the situation totally different, because us consumers won't be expecting a new update of android OS every other month..
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
Which will prove to be their undoing I am afraid.No many are going to want to shell out the cost of the phone when they are new..knowing full well support will only be limited to 1 year,unless they can devise a way of that update making the phone completely bug free.They are going to need a but load of people working round the clock to make this happen..IMHO

Mac
[Captivate General] jvanbrecht:
Samsung it's a business. To stay that way, they have to sell new products. One way, which most manufacturers to this, is by forced purchases of their new products if you want the latest and greatest.

I can't fault them for that. Phones have a very short lifecycle, far shorter then the contract length. I suspect they will have new hardware out before any official gingerbread release.
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
I'd like to start this bounty thread with a $50 offering.

The requirement is to hack official HTC Sense roms to be able to set levels of brightness which autobrightness uses.

It could be done via an app, or a file edit, or the way cm6.1 does it. And it should be supported for the future OTA releases.

The only true requirement is that I never have to worry about setting brightness again, after I tweak the brightness values to my own eyes.

(technical: autobrightness adjusts the brightness of the lcd by reading the light level sensor. CM6 allows one to edit the table of brightness vs. light sensor. Sense might implement the autobrightness differently. Regardless of the implementation, the default values of brightness, that autobrightness uses, should be adjustable.)

[EVO 4G General] es0tericcha0s:

Seems to be exactly what you asked for?

He provided what you asked for, edit the file and you got it!
[EVO 4G General] S4Rs:
I would like this issue to be fixed as well, but am curious to know how much a table would actually help. It seems that it may not be as bright outside as it is inside sometimes, but the sun reflects light a lot worse than a ton of florescent or artificial light does. When i am inside and all the lights are on, i can still read my phone with the brightness at 15%. But when its cloudy outside it needs to be at 100% or its hard to read from a direct angle. I would almost prefer to leave my brightness at 15% all the time, and then use a hardware switch like hitting both volume rockers together to toggle 100% and 15% to change the brightness.

It would be awesome if the evo used the front facing camera to detect the sky behind you or even use the better light senser in a camera, to detect and adjust the brightness. Probably not great for battery.
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
How does changing that setting qualify for manually adjusting autobrightness values?

Here's how cm6 does it. It creates a table:

Light Sensor level - Brightness

10 - 50

160 - 60

225 - 70

320 - 80

640 - 110

1280 - 140

2600 - 180

infinity - 255(max)

The autobrightness reads the light sensor level and then sets the brightness to the corresponding brightness value.
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
It works very well in cm6. It's not perfect, but when I was using cm6, I never had to worry about tinkering with brightness.
