What does 2.2 offer that you can't have on 2.1? I just don't see what the big deal is anyways. Is everyone that unsatisfied with their phone that they are getting bent out of shape about 2.2? This is Sprint and Samsung we are talking about right? I fully expect it to be here in January or February. In the mean time, I will enjoy my Epic with 2.1 Which is still better than the Evo on 2.2, imho.
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
Its faster, and "the latest and greatest" has support for full flash, not just flash lite...theres a few others.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I heard flash sucked with 2.2 but that's just me. Granted it's nice to have and it's something the I-suck doesn't have so that's always a plus.

Phone is plenty fast for me but I don't do anything extensive on it. Even when it drops I'll probably still wait a while to see if it's even worth it. Reading the Evo forums, it sounded like it was more trouble than it was worth and broke more things than fixed.
[Epic 4G General] mapcom1:
THANK YOU!
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
You want to exchange one piece of bloat for another piece?

Why not just ship it with stock Android (and more than 3 screens) and then allow us to customize our devices as we see fit?
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
Thats because its on a Evo lol :P

Yeah I went to the Sprint store when I went and bought my case for my Epic and messed around with an Evo..be it a display, and they had a screen protector on it, the screened looked REALLY grainy, and it was very very slow. I'm guessing it hadn't been restarted in awhile and had every app open on it running in the background. I checked it and sure enough it was running on 2.2.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Touche! The evo needed mods caused it sucked outta the box. Not really the case with the epic. Granted there are a few issues but ill gladly take 15+ hours of battery life and a few minor annoyances over that awkard thing
[Epic 4G General] kaotikevo:
Apps2SD, Flash 10.1, ability to perfom password or PIN lock, JIT, being able to download 2.2 only apps, and that's off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more reasons to want Froyo. I really hope Samsung gets Froyo out to us ASAP. Hopefully before Gingerbread is out, cause it'll sure suck seeing all the other phones like the Nexus One, G2, EVO, DInc, Droid 2, etc get Gingerbread while we're stuck on Froyo if Samsung decides they won't update their Galaxy S line past Froyo
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
Amen! I can't wait!
[Epic 4G General] mykie242:
Chrome to Phone...that's the ONLY reason I want Froyo :/
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
Installing apps to SD without root is nice too.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Your not the only one, I think about that app all the time andits sad I can't use it.
[Epic 4G General] drunix:
Background data services (push notifications) will massively improve battery life if you use background data with apps that support it.
[Epic 4G General] razorseal:
I think 2.3 will be ready by the time 2.2 comes out for us...

I'm disappointed because I got the Epic today (from droid 1. is that an upgrade?) and had to revert back to 2.1... pretty sad. I miss JIT bluetooth call capability and all that fun stuff on my 2.2. along with flash :(
[Epic 4G General] zenvita:
i spoke to both Samsung and Sprint this evening. Samsung said that ATT Galaxy S is DONE and will be rolling out soon. They had no news on Sprint. Sprint said that the version they received crashed on the Epic and they do not have a date for OTA much less a stable release of Froyo. Hopefully they will re-write the 3G and other drivers to make it more efficient. cant live on the charger
[Epic 4G General] notoriouspyro:
Not to mention superior bluetooth support such as voice command over BT. Being in an area that is required to have bluetooth usage while driving, it has come in handy on my evo. Can't wait to be able to get it on the epic too.
[Epic 4G General] Erica8123:
I think we will see the upgrade eventually because they made a point to confirm it but it won't be for months I'm sure. Come on who didn't see the promise of an upgrade "soon" as a joke? This is Samsung and Sprint we are talking about...
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Why?

BT voice dialing. That's pretty important to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
I just got an update from samsung india froyo update and it is:

'We don't have an eta on that'

now I regret I bought such an expensive phone from a company who don't have any clue about developing high end phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anonymusneo:
lol good morning
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Then sell the device and buy an iPhone... you'll see what they will answer when you ask when to expect the next OS or the next bug release!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ladduro:
Its not like that. If they cannot do it in real time, at least let us the option to use god damn AOSP Android. I dont want Samsung's crap.

Next Android release is knocking on our doors, and they are delaying every month 2.2 release because they dont know know how to develop.

This is my first Samsung phone and will be my last. Next Android based will be Google's future release.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
Well then I'm pretty sure you can find someone who will trade you their Nexus 1 for your SGS, because they also have issue... and also have delay on the fixes because they have to program it, test it, learn to deal with it, correct it, retest it like every other company. And when it's finaly release, they'll have something they forgot or that sliped...

I don't know if you are aware that programing is a real complicated process, you can't do it "real time" because the hardware is different, so you have to rebuilt the drivers, recompile every thing, test, correct, and on, and on...

Just as an example, Froyo SDK was "out" on 20th of may

Nexus one, wich is pretty much endorsed by google, had the update on 26th of june. It's more than a month for a device that's pretty much made by the same people and on wich it was develop, so basically they had thier hands on it since a longuer time.

Now imagine that another company has decided to change radicaly the hardware (CPU, GPU, partition types, etc.) and now have to rewrite everything to fit the new release, you can only assume it'll take a while.

Then, if you think it's not worth the wait, you should buy the most compatible hardware in the first place.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dehem333:
Finally someone who gets it seriously , these people should stop fooling theirselves.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ladduro:
Well, I do work in an corporate IT env, and I know how things like dev, QA, UAT, etc works. At least within my Company a dead line has to be met and it is met. If that release has problems, a QuickFix may be provided to fix it.

My main problem IS the delay itself. First thing Samsung should officially announce a released date. This for poor end users not waiting in vane for something that MIGHT make things work better (most probably not). With 5mil devices sold, Samsung should understand that keeping end users informed is the way to go for future profits. At least half of my friends with SGS are disappointed with software quality and waiting eagerly for something better. Nor me or them will by another Samsung device ever.

Anyway, I dont want a flame. This my opinion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedauntlessone:
I got to here and stopped reading. This sentence is enough proof you don't really know how to deal with customer relationships. It's obvious they have problems with their builds and are trying to fix it. If they put a solid release date on 2.2 and not deliver it, they would need to do a lot more damage control. If they actually put a solid release date and delay the release, you'd get this kind of thread every 5 seconds on this forum. It's annoying as it is, and anymore would probably make this forum literally unusable with people whining and crying. Don't like the phone? Sell it. It's as simple as that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crabjoe:
Why not just tell Samsung to buy back the phone, so the consumer can get all their money back? Selling a used phone on the open market, usually means the consumer will not get back what they had paid originally.

I feel the reason people want Froyo so bad is because Froyo is supposed to fix a lot of the bugs in the SGS; such as the GPS not working correctly. I also think the reason Samsung keeps pushing back the Froyo release is because they're having problems fixing hardware faults with software. Software fixes can only do so much, if the hardware isn't working properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
So in other words, release garbage which might cause serious issues because the deadline is more important than the quality of the product? It's often pretty obvious to identify which software development companies do that, because often, their products are either incredibly slow moving, or buggy.

Also, that works with a lot of PC software, but on mobile phones, people SERIOUSLY freak when their phone wont boot. If an Application is buggy, you can just upgrade it, but it isn't as easy on a mobile. Development companies should show previews and provide expected shipping dates, but should only announce the exact date when it can be known (near end of testing).

By the way, deadlines are named appropriately I feel. Passengers on a plane might complain when they are late, but what they don't realise is that the alternative's often weren't worth the risk. I'll also remind you "what a customer thinks they want, may not be what they want". In this case, you think you want froyo (for the sake of froyo), but what you actually want is a more usable phone OS. If you can't rely on your phone to work well enough to receive calls without your knowledge, whats the point?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Yes I am aware of the complex software development process as I am in software development field for more than a decade.

I am not happy because samsung keep changing their froyo release dates and now they dont have an ETA.

That is what is bothering me. I expect them to communicate more clearly, so that we know what to expect. I dont expect lies after lies from samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:

Got stuck after flashing RC29
[G1 Apps and Games] AdrianK:
Why not focus on getting the damn thing upgraded? Anything below 1.5 is useless.

Try flashing the zip for the official 1.5 update for starters.
[G1 Apps and Games] wakeupkeo:
You don't read very well eh?

This thread should close, I got around it by actually fixing the hardware to allow the exact updating you are talking about. without a keyboard updating was impossible. You know, the Alt+S part?

Thanks for all the help xda community. I always end up figuring it out after a day or two of stress-induced ulcers
[G1 Apps and Games] AdrianK:
I did, you just gave us duff information.

When you specifically state "soft keyboard" (which would make sense since it isn't present in 1.0), how the hell am I meant to know that you mean hardware keyboard?
[G1 Apps and Games] wakeupkeo:
ah I see now how unclear I was, thanks for the note and the intended help. Sorry to be so quick to judge.

Any way to close this thread?

It seems there's a way of making any/all apps run full-screen on the Tab.

Galaxy Tab gets fullscreen mode for all apps with a simple tweak - GSMArena Blog​

Not sure how good or bad the scaling is though.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Lolzors. If you actually read this forum you will find that the helpful hacker is one of our very own. And of course the hack doesn't work for everything.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Step666:
I'm aware of that but since people were still mentioning games that didn't play full-screen, I thought it might be worth mentioning.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
There's the rub though - it doesn't work for all apps.

IMO games that run well would be those that actually scale themselves... they play better!

Just a little FYI....

Does Nesoid run well, at all?

Does anyone have an experience using Nesoid or any other NES emulator on the SGT? Used it on the SGS and it works well. If Nesoid runs well, then there's several hundred retro classics to consider. So I hope it is appropriate to ask this here.

One particular issue is whether Nesoid on the tab will support 3 touch simulatenously. I.e., move, run and jump.

Thanks for your thoughts.

how about to try the non cracked original paid versions?

im playin asphalt hd without any issues.

good game for 2,99 €. (i remember how i paid 30€ for ds crap games)

all gamloft hd games for the tab work on the tab.

ok... nfs shift isnt from gameloft. and i didnt found it on ea website yet.

so, a possible workaround...

...you have to install... dont run... connect to pc... delete "files" folder in data...

copy "files" from pc back to data on tab... run nfs!

and if you should find a official version of nfs somwhere... buy it!

if not, i will remoteflash your tab into an iphone :0) hocus pocus

I'm looking for a Solitaire game with amazing graphics to fit the Tab display.

I gotta admit that 98% of all iPhone/iPad/Android Solitaire games have really bad graphics (icons too big, small, blurry etc.) so that it's not fun to play it.

Here's an amazing example from the iPad world: Solitaire City

I'm addicted to that game on the iPad because it's so fun to play

possible fix for asphalt hd?

i paid 2,99 for asphalt through gameloft site....

in the market its is sold for 3,70 !?

if you really bought it send me your email and mobile number and i will try to help you with a alternative method. better try to uninstall and then reinstall with fresh data from gameloft server... as far as i know, you dont have to pay again for it.

maybe its only the following problem:
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dagobert drug:
possible fix for asphalt hd?

do you use the fullscreen fix with spare parts? i noticed diffrent problems when running games with fix, that worked good and without problems before...

try to disable the fix again and report back please if it still doesnt work for you.

Tried first with the fix, then without (compatibility mode checked and rebooted), then re-applied the fix and tried again. Makes no difference.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dagobert drug:
still problems with asphalt hd and others...

your right... no change in asphalt hd.

tried it now... fullscreen with and without fix... sorry :0) :0(

in fifa i can see the diffrence...

superb without fix.

sonic on extasy like players with fix and buttons recognize only a 1*1mm field... i need a stylus.

it runs fast like hell... u can use the spare parts fix for free arcade mode :0)

maybe its an firmware issue? im no developer...

somone from your country tried same version?

perhaps youve used an older apk to install and didnt notice?

i have a daily growin "backup" folder with all my downloads...

with the whole hd2 android apps not sorted out yet... i have my problems choosin the right one.

edit: why dont you try to download the original apk from gameloft. and install again.

if you bought it, you can reinstall as many times you like (for free so far i know)

first delete everything from asphalt on your phone.... ehhhhmmm tab! ;0)

then try again.

Let's circle back to this.

While the tab definitely has true 5 point multi touch.....fruit ninja does NOT allow you to swipe with more than 1 finger at a time.....

I assume it's just not coded to do that on android? Either way that was kind of a bummer for me when I expected it to work like my friends ipad....5 fingers = 5 swipes at fruit
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] StuRoid:
Email the developer and ask, maybe it hasn't been implemented into the game due to a lot of the hardware (phones) it is running on don't have true multi touch capability?
