I sure hope its fake, because if Samsung ever made a product that was intended to mimick an Apple product, I think I'd go ape**** on Samsung.
[General Topics] sauron0101:
Engadget is not known for carefully verifying their facts before posting - quite the opposite. So anything that they post needs to be taken with considerable skepticism.
[General Topics] foxmeister:
Given that front facing cameras were standard (in Europe at least!) for most 3G phones a few years ago, I can only assume that they were dropped in recent years because video calling was (and still is IMO) a gimmick!

I remember when Orange launched their 3G network here in the UK, and the supposed "killer app" was video calling. My missus and I both upgraded to Sanyo phones to give it a try, and whilst it worked ok (even then) there were almost no situations where you'd actually want to use it.

Dave
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aturayd:
Today was the first time I let my phone's battery drain down to nothing and it died completely while i was on a phone call. But when it died, the screen went black as it should, but it refused to charge. The light didnt come on and it wouldnt power on. I had to pull the battery and then it booted to a 'critically low battery' notification on the screen. Has anyone experienced this kind of freezing when the battery is just on the verge of dying?
[Windows Phone 7 General] swake457:
I don't have this specific issue, but definitely power draining problems on my Focus. I let it charge overnight - 10+ hours plugged in. That should be more than enough for a nice, full charge. Well it's been unplugged from the charger for a little over 3 hours now and it's already down 30%. All I did was listen to 4 songs on the Zune on the way to the office this morning.

Same thing happened yesterday. So two days in a row isn't looking good. By early afternoon yesterday it was almost drained.

I haven't even made any phone calls with this yet! I can only imagine what a handful of 30 minute phone calls would do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
hmm... faulty battery/phone? maybe take it back to the store and ask for an exchange?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mercath:
Is there any way to calibrate the battery? Such as completely drain it, fully charge it then look around the settings menu for a way to delete any kind of battery stats file?
[Windows Phone 7 General] swake457:
I was thinking the same thing, about exchanging it. I'm going to give it more time and really put it through some paces to verify. I've got until the end of November to exchange it.

This was all without any Wifi on too :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] athompson:
I've noticed my LG-C900 also seems like a battery hog, and takes forever to charge. The Samsung SGH-i917 is a little better, but both of them have a tendency to run out of battery quickly if I forget to charge them overnight. It's a little worrisome to me.

I don't measure smartphone battery length systematically, but my Motorola Droid seems to do a lot better, and my HTC G1 has gone all week without being charged (although the graphics aren't nearly as good, the processor doesn't have to work as hard even to change menus).

On the other hand, the advantage is in both of those phones, it is much easier to change batteries, making it possible to carry an extra battery and switch halfway through the day, something you could never do with an iphone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
That would probably be a good idea.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
you could look at the wifi status , turn it off when you don't need it .

wifi is "on" as default , if I don't turn it off my batt is dying really quick .

I didn't look at it but maybe you can also turn off the GPS .
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
The first Focus I got shipped from AT&T refused to take a charge. You could plug it in and the icon would change to a plug, but it wouldn't charge up at all. I replaced it at a store and the new one is perfect. Charges quickly and lasts much longer than my old Fuze. I don't know if it was the phone or the battery, but I'd just get a replacement.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
For some reason my HD7 won't charge from PC USB ports-- it's been "critically low" in the morning the two times I left it plugged into a PC overnight (orange light on, but apparently not charging quickly enough).

The ports work fine charging my HD2 and iPhones-- apparently not with the HD7 though. Only dedicated AC adapters feeding a full 1A have worked so far-- not hugely inconvenient, but kind of odd.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ckacey:
my G1 and HD2 would exibit this behavior when on my car's USB port when the charge was low enough, and the last system update that came down for the G1 would just slow the drain when attached to my car.

The first trip with the HD7 in the car > home, it died on the car's USB port, very slowly. After its first full charge it does accept a charge from the car. I think it may have issues once it gets low enough just like the HD2. I think it may be the output, I don't remember how much power Honda supplies at the USB port, but obviously not enough for all devices. All my ports on my laptop, desktop and WHS, except the front ports on the WHS and the desktop, charge these 3 devices handily, the front ports on the home server and the desktop must only provide minimal power, I've had USB sticks complain and drop speed on these.
[Epic 4G General] noreboy:
I have both the yahoo app and kik app installed. For both apps, I get notifications on new msgs and sometimes I don't. What causes this, and how do I make my phone always get these notification without leaving the apps open?
[Epic 4G General] noreboy:
Anybody?
[Epic 4G General] noreboy:
Am I the only one having this issue?
[Epic 4G General] OperationMove:
Well I'm not exactly sure what else you got installed on that phone that could be stopping it from showing notifications. My best guess is that if you have a task killer (Either an automatic task killer or one that you kill everything yourself) and you killed them at some point it wouldnt show the notification.

Example would be a long time ago when I was an android noob I used handcent but wondered why sometimes handcent notis would show up and not other times. Then I ignored it in advanced task killer, and viola. All is well. Perhaps this will solve it. Maybe not. Some people don't know any better though.
[Epic 4G General] noreboy:
Sorry man, I don't follow your response.
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
Typically each app that notifies will have a setting for it within itself, ie handcent. Also auto task killer programs, if you have any, make sure they are not set to kill whatever task you want to notify you.

Further, if you are not using the stock messaging app go into it and adjust the notification settings to not notify of messages. That way you won't get double double notifications or conficts.
[Touch CDMA General] covep:
Hi Guys,

Just bought an used Alltel HTC Vogue (Touch 6900). I updated its ROM to Windows 6.5 with the help of following post:

showthread_php?t=592964

I want to use this phone with my old Reliance India CDMA number. Can anybody help me do this?
[Touch CDMA General] hitesh1:
if you still looking for solution ping me on gtalk
[HD2 General] k@neighborhoodtrends:
hi my htc hd2 which i got "on the hook up" lol

is locking up

95% of the time it wont load past the (stick together) even if i reset it even the hard reset.

or it will load the (stick together) screen and reset over and over to the (stick together) screen

OR when it does load it will work for about 10-15 min the reset and stick at the

(stick together) screen again ... Any ideas would be GREAT thanks yall
[HD2 General] mrsboss617:
funny im having the same issues
[HD2 General] k@neighborhoodtrends:
dont really see the "funny" but .... thanks PLEASE help i am sitting dead in the water with no phone
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
2 options at this point basically:

1-hard reset

2-flash a new ROM via USB or SD card

Instructions to do both can be found by searching.
[HD2 General] k@neighborhoodtrends:
hard reset has been done

and i cant flash because it wont load
[HD2 General] atlaswing:
looking at the post on this TMOUS subforum, seems like it is occurring more and more often this past month. since this "won't boot past stick together" glitch only comes up occasionally, and even then, only if you soft reset the phone, most people who keep their phone on for weeks will never come across it. You have 3 options to do in order: 1. Troubleshoot the problem yourself, 2. convince tmoUS to exchange, 3. convince HTC to exchange.

1. might be a problem with tmo's latest batch of shipped HD2's with 2.13rom. if the custom ROMs don't help, try flashing the latest TMO 2.14rom via microSD. With this sticktogether problem, you might still be able to get into the bootloader (volume down + power). Download the latest official rom at: www.tmobile.com/wmupgrade , unzip the exe file, copy the RUU_signed.nbh into your microSD, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh, and let the HD2 bootloader do its job. See link at the top of this forum. That's it, it will flash by itself. If the latest 3.14rom still has the problem, then

2. call tmo tech support. Tmobile US has the best customer service of the US carriers, they'll try their best to help any customer with a good account, as long as your phone is not reported stolen :) Walk into a tmo store, and the rep might even do the above "flash via microSD" for you, as long as you have a working tmo phone number, you're a customer.

3. last, call HTC, this is a pain, but well worth it if all else fails. Regardless of where you bought the phone, HTC might replace/fix it if it is a known issue. If one agent won't help, call back again if necessary. Lots of xda members have done so.

good luck, and read the stickies at the top of this forum, especially the "flash via microSD" sticky.
[HD2 General] k@neighborhoodtrends:
tmoUS & HTC both said no about after an hour on the phone :(

now it wont go past to stick together screen i even did the hard reset HELP lol
[HD2 General] k@neighborhoodtrends:
anybody? please
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Have you tried flashing a new ROM via SD card?
[HD2 General] k@neighborhoodtrends:
the phone wont boot past stick together screen

when i plug it in to my computer is looks for soft ware but thats it i think its called cdma comm something please let me know how i can do that

it says looking for soft ware

qualcomm cdma technologies msm
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
You don't need to connect it to your PC to flash via SD card. Read the stickies for info on how to do it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElvinWasHere:
Hey guys,

So, I like having my phone naked without a protector just cuz it feels and looks better. However, I noticed that the screen for the camera and the metal ring around it isn't connected to the back cover, so whenever I put my phone faced down, I risk scratching the screen and the metal ring. What do you guys do to remedy this? Or you guys just let it go?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcwells:
The screen on this phone (and all Galaxy S models) is gorilla glass and nearly impossible to scratch. I actually have a video of me trying to scratch mine with a screw driver...and failing. As for the metal ring, mine has been holding up fairly well. But, I am thinking of buying one of those cheap soft skin covers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcwells:
Also, over in the accessories thread there is a case called the Vibrant Cyclops case. It looks a lot like an otterbox. Its kinda expensive (35 bucks). But it looks like it would do the trick.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Nexus S? What?

Seems like Samsung is holding back when they designed the Nexus S and instead pulled their creative resources for a much better looking phone.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/11/exclusive-samsung-flagship-phone-with-gingerbread-and-huge-di/

It still looks like an Iphone 4 clone... but I'd say it owns Nexus S.
[Nexus One General] Frito11:
i cannot stand how samsung thinks its a good idea to clone iphone and iOS look as much as legally possible, its really a disgrace to android and i'll keep my nexus one thank you very much :D
[Nexus One General] spypack:
I would be thrilled if this was the Nexus S. The hardware is so top notch but not running vanilla android and googles first to software updates ruins it for me.
[Nexus One General] ghost77:
Assuming its real , they failed to mention RAM amount in that slide . But im confident its fake , no way samsung will release something so awesome.
[Nexus One General] Segnaro:
lol I hate how much it looks like an iPhone. Nexus S all the way.
[Nexus One General] jivemaster:
This phone has almost the same specs as nexus s. Only difference is larger screen and 1080p record.

Waiting for this would be stupid. Stop kidding yourselves and get the nexus s. It's going to be epic.
[Nexus One General] jm5503:
Already confirmed as a hoax....
[Nexus One General] colins:
jm5503, how is it confirmed its a hoax? where is your source?

You yourself is a hoax by posting earlier that Gingerbread is released. You have zero creditability.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Well seems like androidpolice pulled the plug on this one.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...1-flagship-device-renders-are-fake-heres-why/

Hah, doesn't matter since I'll be holding on to my N1.
[Nexus One General] awdlexusis:
looks likee a fake to me
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
All of this doesn't matter. I just want gingerbread on my n1!!!!!! lol
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
Looks nice but its still a Samsung which means it'll have nice hardware, terrible software, and as soon as you buy it, they wont give a toss about you or any problems you may have with it, so I for one wont be buying it.
[Nexus One General] fajarep:
too bad fake :D looks cool spec
[Nexus One General] chaval:
Doesn't matter if this phone really exists or not. It seems to be just a flagship, just like the SGS was when it came....with slow OS updates.

If this would be a dev phone, then it may be interesting.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Couldn't have said it better myself.
[Nexus One General] spidermonkeyrob:
Ha.

lmfao @ 1080p on a 4.5" screen
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
1080p references on upcoming phones are for video output and camera recording, not display resolutions.
[Nexus One General] spidermonkeyrob:
I was referring mostly to the link. Says playback and record. :p
[Nexus One General] ghost77:
Would you prefer to record 1080p but have no way of to review your video on the device ?
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Engadget already admitted that those images are of some Acer device or w/e. Not a real Samsung's prototype pic.

So don't look at the picture.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Well.. it does sound dumb, but think of it as a bad HD camcoder in a phone. You can still review it on the phone, but to see it fully u gotta export the video.

Still good to have, but only if the FPS is actually 24+.
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
There's a lot of hype about the upcoming Nexus S (Galaxy S + Nexus One) with stock gingerbread, ffc, and first on the plate for updates.

But what you're about to lay your eyes upon.. is the GOD phone, rivaling the 4.3 in screen you envied from your droid x users I present here the:

Galaxy S 2! (The First Samsung Flashship phone)

Boasting the specs of:

4.3/4.5 in SAMOLED2

Android Gingerbread

8 megapixel camera capable of 1080p video capture

14.4Mbps HSPA

Bluetooth 3.0

1.2GHz core

16GB of storage onboard

Thinner than iphone 4!!

Not to mention how sleek it is! THIS WILL BE THE BEST PHONE
[Captivate General] Ryukeima:
Wtf, the cake is a lie. And if its not, I need some cake...
[Captivate General] needtogetoutmore:
I got 2 nuts and a first born child for it...if it gets AT&T 3G bands..lol
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
It better not have the same lag issues as the current crop, otherwise im not buying it.
[Captivate General] ghost77:
If it doesn't have tons of ram i don't want it.
[Captivate General] bradleyG:
omg it makes me so sad to see this after ive only had my captivate for a month :( but imagine what the next year or two will bring!
[Captivate General] Ryukeima:
Unless the samoled 2 is also a solar panel, I don't experience the best battery life...
[Captivate General] life2monkeys:
Probably gonna be bogged with RFS and and TouchWiz. If they bork the nexus S with RFS that will seriously suck. I know we can run lag fixes etc. but it would be nice to get a phone that doesn't need to be hacked just top be functional (totally would still root it, but its just the satisfaction of knowing that I wouldn't have to ^_^)
[Captivate General] Enhanced:
I'd still pick the Nexus S.

If the Captivate has such awful battery life, I can't imagine what a 1.2ghz processor and a 4.3" screen will do to it.

The Google Experience with a 4" screen is my dream phone. The S2 sure does look pretty though.
[Captivate General] stavs:
with all this extra power, bigger screen etc, I couldnt believe what kind of a battery it would need to be HALF DECENT.

Companies should stop competing in cpu wars, display wars etc and really revolutionize a battery that will last at least a full 24 hours with moderate usage.
[Captivate General] haydonxda:
Interesting, I didn't see GPS on the feature list. Like its predecessor it looks like this phone won't come with GPS either.

Very sad for Samsung not to figure out GPS yet.
[Captivate General] rfarrah:
Looks like it might not be the real thing. Here's more info:

Ummmmm gingerbread cookies! Gingerbread what a stupid name.

Looks like an i Phone and a battery hog.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
This isn't fake at all. I have a very good source at Samsung who can confirm this device, although those slides are not final. Like Engadget said, these slides are 100% real from Samsung... they just used an image of a different device to get their point across. Not meant to be seen by the whole world.

Anyways, the device (which can be confirmed real by Engadget, BGR, AndroidCentral) is called the Samsung Elite: http://briefmobile.com/new-samsung-elite-specifications

It is the successor to the Galaxy S line and it's due in early 2011 for announcement.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
Sounds reasonable, I was wondering if it's samsung advertising our a mock up of what might come next.

People around here are so argumentative over things where they have no facts. Also I don't get what people expect of a phone, I find battery life between meets expectations to excellent depending on what rom and modem I'm running.

And where did the notion that amoled displays hog power come from? that's the opposite of true, I don't know what the droid x is like but go buy an evo and check the battery life, it's far from good.

I'm excited about the nexus s and hope the rom and kernel port to the captivate, I just wonder if the modem will be a problem, I'm guessing it will be hsupa+ (4g) and wonder if the hardware is the same in that area and if the modem file will support the att 3g bands, or will a froyo captivate modem.bin work in gingerbread? I'll have to wait and see. As for my next phone I'll wait for a dual core device.

[Captivate General] netnerd:
if they cant fix the gps on captivate (galaxy S), dont expect this one to be any differernt!

to me, SAMSUNG = GARBAGE!

sure, after i updated to froyo 2.2 on cappy, gps locked in really quick! but it still getting LOTS of wrong turns (keep re-routing) when using gps!
[Captivate General] stuff:
I wouldn't be too sure about that. They are basically the kings of silicone. And if you cannot see that, you are an IDIOT.

Their software is poor, but it's a fairly new department for the company. I can see in about a year they will have it down and their software will too be great.

P.S. You can't make assumptions about the GPS still not working. We still have yet to have an official Froyo 2.2 build. It could all be software related, and they are getting it to work 100% in froyo. Maybe, maybe not. But as of right now, nobody knows.
[Captivate General] netnerd:
and i guess you a BIGGER IDIOT?

if you pay full price for a new car, stereo is not working and you happy with it?
[Captivate General] stuff:
I never said anything like that.. Guess you didn't understand a thing I said.
[Captivate General] crabjoe:
Fairly new department ... How do you know this? I think they've been doing software for years, if not decades since they are a huge electronics company. If you're speaking of Android software ... Well, I'd think you can say all the companies making Android devices have fairly new software departments.

As to not making an assumption that GPS won't be fixed with Froyo ... It's more of an educated guess that Froyo won't fix the GPS. The beta Froyo for the different SGS variants haven't fixed it and neither has the official Froyo released for the international SGS. So what makes you think the official Froyo for the Captivate will fix the GPS? Nothing points to a fix with Froyo.
[Captivate General] Sulphur4724:
I find it funny that just about any thread, about just about any thing, turns into a cat fight. Well, get nekkid ladies!

/popcorn
[Captivate General] stuff:
Coming from A Nexus One, I used the beta Froyo build before it came out, and so many bugs were present. It was a beta build, but half the **** didn't even function properly. When the official froyo was released, all those bugs were 100% fixed.

GPS on my phone works quite well. From eclair, it sucked horribly. Then a beta froyo build, it works very close to 100%. So why couldn't an official froyo build make it work great?

Like I said, nobody know anyway.
