Bitter. But hopeful.

Unfortunately, running away from this phone does seem to be good advise. It doesn't mater how slick it is in theory. Uber display and kickass hardware are useless if the basic functionality suffers due to glitches most of the other options don't seem to exibit.

I decided to play the "mod and wait" game with this thing, and I'm regretting it. Broad-brush damnations would have helped me. At this point, enough issues have came up about this hardware that a "broad-brush" sticky may be warranted. The alert issues found by the OP, may be related to his speaker begining to fail. I had a similar issue. Calander and alarm notifications began failing in some apps, but not others. The phone would still ring. Some apps could still use the speaker. Within a week, nothing could use the speaker, and I had to do the "push-on-it" fix.

It's a forum. Posts are opinions. I've been impressed occasionally by the raw performance of this phone. Yet, I've also spent hours, hours, researching problems, applying fixes, flashing, pushing on the speaker, etc. And I've spent hours "waiting" for the thing to do something simple like send an email when it did fine the day before. With as much time and effort as I've put into researching and working on this phone, I feel like I (and others) have not gotten enough stability out of it.

I propose a broad brush damnation for this phone: "slick but intermittent".
[Captivate General] juiceppc:
haha. Thanks for the ,.. opinion. I'm starting to feel the same way about this phone. I had super high hopes. But I'm really going to stick with HTC. They just get it. IMHO.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
I think most people regret buying this phone. Or they will, when FroYo never arrives, the lag gets worse and worse, the phone dies on them, and the GPS never come close to working, the market decides not to intall your app, this, that, or the other thing force closes, etc. etc. etc.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Umm froyo is already leaked and OTA is on its way.

Lag has never been an issue.

And GPS is a software fix... proven on these boards over and over.

SHEESH... I'd say go tell somewhere else.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
yeah, 5 million people are completely dissatisfied because one guy managed to not know how to operate his phone.....
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
I think your wrong. I think quite a few people got defective phones and haven't bothered returning them,thinking that if they root it and flash a different rom that would magically fix a broken phone. This is XDA and folks here mostly do this..thus the reason for most of the complaints. Problem is..it won't change much of anything to reflash if the phone is defective..If it is broken to begin with..it will be broken no matter what you do to it.. If yours is defective..quite *****ing about it and get one that isn't..or a different phone entirely. The working ones are great..just like they are supposed to be.

I have 2 of them built in September..both work and neither is defective.This tells me many of those built prior have some issues..perhaps not all of them..but some of them certainly. This certainly doesn't make it right by anyones account..just saying if yours is defective..return it and get one that isn't.

I honestly don't understand people who have the option of doing this,not doing it.The folks at my AT&T store opened 7 different boxes and checked every one of them for any blue tint on the screen and having the 3 button recovery option..for my second one bought at the same time,so I do know there are many out there that ain't working properly..The OP of this thread..is unhappy with it..damn..loose it and be done with it if you are that unhappy..or take that one back and get them to open up the boxes and show you one that works properly...If it was bought mail order..then you should just return it as defective and get your money back..and buy where you can see it first..It's your choice...and your money.

i flashed a cdma rom on my gsm tilt2, and it will go to bootloader still but wont load up, and i want to know if i need to flash to a stock tilt 2 spl before i can flash a tilt 2 stock rom to fix my phone thxs..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ace10134:
The answer to your question is: NO. Go ahead and flash a custom GSM ROM, no need to go to stock first.

Put your phone in the bootloader

Connect it via USB to your computer

Download a GSM ROM of your choice

Flash it like normal (with your phone in the bootloader)

Enjoy!

If something goes wrong, we're here to help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tyronekndrck:
thanks, but im trying to connect thru active sync but it will not connect. on the bootloader screen it says usb at the bottom but its not connected thru active sync
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ace10134:
Just ignore that it is not connected through ActiveSync. When you're connected through the bootloader and it says "USB", everything is GOOD and you can flash!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You don't need a full ActiveSync connection to flash a ROM. As ace said, all you need is that "USB" to appear on the bottom of the bootloader screen ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tyronekndrck:
thx it worked
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] erwinpiero:

Froyo browser is still as laggy as ever

Pocketnow.com

JM9: 30mb

new JPA: 150mb

both with flash off....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
So some people say this new WJPA is great, some people say it's as bad as old ones like JPJPA/JP6/JPM? Which is it?

For me there is a marked difference comparing JM9 to JPM/JP6, so can someone indicate if these new releases are close to JM9 goodness or bad like the previous round of Froyo's?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
It's pretty bad, just like all the other froyo releases so far.

It runs fast when there is nothing running, but when you have a few things going on in the background everything crawls to a halt.

It IS a little improved over JPM though, only a little
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
For some reason the browser runs well after a fresh flash and BEFORE installing any apps.

Once you restored your apps everything starts to crawl like all the other froyo releases.

So the browser issue is still not fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gingerbred:
Umm it runs much better than JP6 anyway
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
Yeah, I have the same feelings after some test. It is much more smoother and faster, it does not lag, when typing with keyboard and it follows the text, if going on edges. Much improvement from JP6. Uses same Ram, but so what? I have never run out of ram with this phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
Can someone extract the files and make a zip so people with JP6 can install it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DSF:
OP why are you posting false statements?

I have flashed a few days ago via Kies from JP6 to JPA.

The same ****ty, sluggish browser performance :(. Even on simple sites, just like xda developers forums the phone is sluggish.

Hi,

I'm trying to play music through speakers that are connected to my computer.

my computer has build-in BT receiver.

1. I've paired my device to my computer (WIN7)

2. The device is being shown both on computer and on phone

3. in the bluetooth device list i see the computer as "PAIRED" device with an icon of 'Computer'

4. a long press on its name i have the only option of "Unpair".

Any idea how i can stream the music throughout the computer?, on the handset paired items i have an options menu where i can choose that music would be played on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NetCopAD:
Open the device's controls in WIN7 and choose to use the PC to listen to audio from the phone. It's a "Connect" button. That's it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] c_on:
No connect in menu

Thanks for the quick reply.

In the Win7->Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Devices and Printers->

I have the "Galaxy S" device, when i right click it there is the following options:

"Modem Settings"

"Dial up networking"

"Create shortcut"

"Troubleshoot"

"Remove device"

"Properties"

the properties menu includes information regarding the driver.

I have no "Connect" option...maybe im searching in the wrong location?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mengsuan:
Depends on your bluetooth stack. Default Windows 7 does not have a stack to stream audio to your computer. You need a Widcomm stack (which requires Broadcom chipset) or Bluesoleil (requires payment).

Bluesoleil stack is compatible with most bluetooth chipset including CSR (cambridge silicon radio), which usually don't come with any premium stack. You can try their trial software and you can enjoy the streaming up to 2MB.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NetCopAD:
You can get WIDCOMM here if you have a broadcom bluetooth chipset.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puffyfish:
I'm a noob at all of this, and maybe you guys can help me. I previously owned a HTC hero I've looked through the nexus one wiki for help, but I don't know if anything is matching my problem.

I used to be a rogers customer in toronto, and I have switched to mobilicity.I have a nexus one now, 2.2.1, FRG 83. I installed drivers for the phone, and i have unlocked the OEM, and rooted it. I have flashed a recovery image using ADB. I then restart my phone, holding the power button and the volume down button. I use the power button to select recovery, and then i see a screem with four thick coloured lines (red green blue yellow) pointing to the center, and a padlock unlocked on the bottom. Then the screen is black.

From what i've read, I should be getting to amon_ra recovery screen I've flashed?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You've flashed the wrong version, you probably have SLCD and flashed the old 1.7.0.1 recovery. Flash 1.9.0-alpha. Since you have unlocked bootloader, use fastboot - much easier. The instructions are in the Wiki, under "Recovery". Use the ones for unlocked bootloader.

should i got for the desire HD with its poor battery life but blazing performance,

the galaxy S that feels like a toy and hope froyo (not in UK yet) fixes its problems,

or buy a desire with its (now) outdated processor but large and probably long lasting community support?

or should i just wait until something the size of the desire comes out with the processor from the desire HD?
[General Questions and Answers] rossysaurus:
only 1 vote and no replies? i feel unloved :(
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
It might just be me, but I don't trust Samsung with phones. As opposed to HTC, their phones feel like toys, and although they're sometimes more powerful, they're not supported for very long. Basically, it's bleeding edge (at least hardware-wise) vs quality. And by quality I mean not only build quality but also how long the device is supported for by the manufacturer and what you can do with it afterwards.

HTC phones are usually top-quality devices, the first to get rooted, have the best third-party interface (Sense) which btw can be removed. The Galaxy S phones are powerful, but Touchwiz adds no functionality when compared to Sense (which adds a LOT) and Samsung doesn't have a good track record of updating their phones often. Look at the Behold II. Look at the current US Galaxy S phones. It's the reason I chose an HTC Evo over a Samsung Epic (Galaxy S with a keyboard, dual cameras, and WiMax). On top of that the Galaxy S phones haven't even gotten 2.2 yet here in US and have a number of hardware issues, one being the GPS.

By no means am I saying the Galaxy S phones are bad, it's just that you'd get more out of an HTC device. My mother and sisters own the Samsung Intercept, which is supposed to be the successor to the Moment. It's in fact a downgrade in every way except the keyboard. But I'm not going to go into that. I say wait till Christmas or get a Desire HD.
[General Questions and Answers] carreno_337:
Well right now I'll choose the Galaxy S phone because it's the best android phone right now but wait because in this times (November, December, January) alot of phones arrive and maybe a better one comes

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domineus:
It's a stock presentation of miui. Infinitybiff was the only build that really had a stock interface that was fast and relatively smooth, however due to circumstance and time constraints, he couldn't do it. After testing a quick 10.22 port I decided to release a 10.29 build. It is stock, pretty fast and extremely stable.

Also note the build you are referring to I also direct users to different builds that prefer a themed ui rather than a stock one.
