The SlideIt keyboard is by far the best one. It is similar to swype but it is more intuitive, allows switching between clicking and sliding, and it has a better layout of keys and alt keys.

I give it one thumb sliding up!

SlideIT is what I use, found it better than swype. before getting the phone I was very hopeful for swype but slideit works better for me.

while we are on the topic of input method, everybody here should try zMooth, it is a must have app. home, back and menu buttons by using finger gestures.

i use touchpal, best keyboard ive used yet. used the stock swype, but it predicted wrong when i tried to use its functionality or my finger wouldnt slide right so i found myself just punching letters anyway. used the stock style keyboards but they just lack any extra help or features. touchpal will predict a word for you even if you accidentally type all the letters wrong (as long as your finger was in the right area of the letter), has multiple input options, easy to type letters numbers and characters from one keyboard (no switching), blah blah blah... basically if you havent tried its worth a try.

Ultra keyboard. The dev hasn't updated it since some time now, but it is still current.

It also has tracing (swiping).

Hi!

I downloaded the latest Doc ROM and I wonder if there is a way to include in the zip file my sms, mms and contacts backuped with "My Backup Pro".

In data/app of the zipp file I add my favorite apk :)

I wonder if there is also a way to include my personal data in the zip file of the ROM.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derice:
I have some synch issues (with KIES) for which I hope to find a solution here.

Issue 1:

I store the mobile number of several of my contacts in this syntax (in Outlook 2010):

*31#+312012345678

After synching the number is displayed in the Galaxy S as:

*31#312012345678

(note the + symbol is missing, the phone can't dial this number).

The reason that I store these numbers in this way is:

- I don't send out my callerID by default.

- For some contacts I do wish to send out my callerID, the prefix *31# does that.

Issue 2:

For most of my contacts I have a birthday listed in Outlook 2010. The birthday is automatically added to Outlook's Calendar.

When synchronising my Calendar & Contacts, the Galaxy S also detects the birthday and does the same thing, it adds a birthday to the calendar. However it doesn't use the same format as Outlook. Also it doesn't check if the birthday is already present in the calendar). So everybirthday is added to my calendar twice. Very annoying.

Does anyone know how I can resolve both issues?

Now I have to keep deleting double birthdays and editing contacts after a synchronisation.

I don't want to use a sync via Gmail, or anything. I want to sync directly between Outlook 2010 and my phone (via USB).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derice:
Anyone with a suggestion?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinsonj:
I notice inconsistencies between Outlook and my phone when I use Kies to synch...

I switched to using MyPhoneExplorer for synch, and only use Kies to check on firmware upgrades from time to time.

The calendar items (even birthdays and recurring meetings) now seem to be correctly synchronized... Kies used to somehow give me multiple listings of some calendar items and certain phone #s...

I think this was originally a Symbian product but the android version is on the Market, and you can grab the PC client on their website.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derice:
Thanks, however this tools does:

*31#+31<number>

into

*31#0031<number>

Something I don't want. I don't want the + to be replaced with 00.

Also the birthday issue still exists.

Any other suggestions?

[Vibrant General] 18.4009:
I just have to say after reading samsungs comment on future support for android (2.3) which is comical since we aren't even going to see 2.2 on this hardware in an official form it seems.

I have come to the conclusion that the only hope to keep this phone moving forward has completely fallen in the laps of custom rom devs.

I love my vibrant but would have dumped it some time ago and gone back to my nexus if it wernt for the few developers that spend countless hours keeping this hardware moving forward.

Shame on samsung, a very large organization for making such a fine piece of hardware and then leaving its software behind.

I find it funny how a huge company such as samsung has left the future of this phone in the hands of some geeks sitting at home plugging away at keeping the vibrant current. And the devs do this on their own time for free.

So, the reason for this post is to thank all you devs working away on the vibrant. And a note to samsung if you ever read these forums (i'm sure they do)....BLOW ME!

Sincerely, a guy who wont own another samsung product.
[Vibrant General] S0NiX0928:
I completely agree... I wish Google would make some regulations on how the Android OS is handled amongst phone developers/carriers such as Samsung or T-Mobile. All phones need to come with stock android but can come with developer/carrier apps preinstalled (and home launchers like Touchwiz are just apps like LauncherPro not integrated into the OS...) Hell, I'd take locked bloatware than a customized (degraded) OS anyday. This way Google can handle & streamline the OTAs... this failure to do so by Samsung is unacceptable if these guys are to compete with the iPhone... granted I still favor this operating system to the iOS no questions but this fragmentation problem will only worsen with time.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
Samsung allocates too much money on hardware and not enough on software...

At least, in the Nexus S, its backed by the best software team possible.
[Vibrant General] Only Loki:
Every body is overreacting Samsung didn't say they were abandoning the galaxy s series they said that there are factors that will decide whether or not they will update their phones in general. The galaxy s line isn't the only phones they make.

They simply said, if the carrier wants it, the hardware meets the requirement, and if they are still allowed the rights of the licensed software the phone has prienstall, then they will update the phone.

Which is basically saying the obvious. We will if we can and allowed too. And seeing that T-Mobile will have to keep up with sprint and Verizon who tries to keep thier phones updated, and the fact the galaxy S line is practically the same as this years dev phone standards, plus there not being many licensed software on it that T-Mobile doesn't hold rights too I'm sure we will get updates at least to anything the nexus s will get.

Hi,

Out of interest I've been monitoring the number of Viewers in each section of the forum over the last few months to gauge how things are shaping up in the platform stakes.

Note: This is a very rough snapshot of data (I've not taken the data at the same time of day or on a regular basis).

Make of it what you will, but I thought I'd share the results so far.

I would be interested in seeing a lot more statistical data available about the forums, even down to tracking views of threads with specific tags.

Unfortunately I "lost" my spreadsheet and data for this, however as a quick update here is a quick check I did out of interest!

[About XDA developers] orb3000:
Thanks for that info.

Still think WM has long time still:cool:
[About XDA developers] meltwater:
I hope so, it is definitely very capable, never dreamed of some of the things it can do.

But consumer forces enter here and companies are only interested in the big markets, less and less bother with WM and that is only going to get worse.

Of course, xda will keep our WM devices running nicely until we decide it is time for change! For me, I think there is room for my WM device and a Android device in my life (shame my wallet doesn't agree).
[About XDA developers] meltwater:
Just thought I'd update with new data from today, WP7 up by 4%, Android up by 10% and WM definitely taking a hit!

Having said that, the numbers suggest that these are extra people rather than loss of people so it's not all bad news for WM.

Searching ADW launcher you will find many people with the same complaint. IT just doesnt support it. I have seen reason ranging from they didnt build it that way too Android does not have an open DB connection for it.

No matter what the reason it sucks and the people using the "Stock" apps are screwed unless you get K-9 or us the gmail app itself (which I dont particularly like).

I have found that if you buy tasker you can make build a workaround with that and minimalistic text. But I did not like the way it did it. and it didnt give me a unread count option :\
