Everyone complains about touchwiz and the build quality of Samsung phones. While I can say that the build doesn't seem as sturdy as my Droid RAZR, it doesn't feel flimsy. Touchwiz isn't that bad either. I like it better than HTC sense, which makes the phone look like it is still running gingerbread.

[General Topics] H.Style86:
I don't know why..I'm a HTC owner but i think that Samsung has a high range of cel phones and for "normal" people non-technology-friendly there's a lot of terminals with low prizes..but sometimes with low-level specifications.

In the country where i live (Italy) for "normal" people a smartphone is an Iphone..many people doesn't knows about HTC, Motorola or new Nokia (for us Nokia is onli 3310 :p) and when they go to a cellphones store, the choice is between Iphone (a looot of money) and cheaper Samsung..so they buy Samsung..
[General Topics] Sn0w0nS:
Ive owned many android phones also htc . I love them all. There is nothing wrong with samsung phones. Perhaps you guys just hate samsung just for hating something. Just like ios users hate android for no reason. Or white people hate black people , dogs hate cats.
[General Topics] DarcDroid:
- Samsung is the only large android manufacturer that still use hardware menu button

- Plastic on GS3 and Note2 feels so cheap, why can't they make it like the plastic back of GS2 or GNex?

I love the hardware button and also love the plastic. Perhaps you have a different taste.

Who knows? Samsung makes THE best phones, period. The Galaxy S2 series, the S3, the Note series, and soon the S4. Some people just love to hate the best. Same thing blows my mind when I hear people say they hate touch wiz. I guess (few in reality) people hate quick toggles, MHL, sliding to call or text, an awewome task manager, being able to use microsd cards, s-planner, s-pen, amoled screens, a smooth and intuitive interface, and countless other unique and not-unique features rolled into one package with a big (non LCD!) screen and smooth aesthetics. Who knows.

I swapped my s3 to Xperia TX and really, software is 10x better than s3 and I'm still on ics lol

1) buggy software, there's lag here and there. Jelly bean not really buttery, didn't implement vsync etc

2) exynos exploit discovered by some xda

3) sudden death issue

4) won't release sources so no stable cm

1. I haven't noticed buggy software

2. that's been patched

Sudden death are for phones with 16gb that suddenly die for I don't know reason, they have released a workaround but some people still experiencing it.

Are u talking to me if so quotes are appreciated I'm not psychic and there are alot of silly people here so can u please be specific

Also Did u read this as I mentioned I was trolling though I like Samsung screens I don't think HTCs screens suck in fact I think there great also what u say is a matter of interpretation so saying to your liking is in fact correct i think AMOLEDS screens look better than lcds when looking at fake things I.e gaming watching a animated movie where LCD looks better at real things pictures movies with real people LOL but that's just my interpretation also AMOLED saves battery which one is better depends on you casting a sweeping generalisation is wrong

Marketing? Really is it impossible for them to adopt Samsung's marketing standards instead of laying around feeling sorry for themselves also what is the "best phone" if u mean the most powerful phone then u are correct Sammy doesn't always have the most powerful phone but there phones aren't based on that alone

There's smartstay, chatON, multi window, s note, pop up play, a whole unified experience in that they make and manufacter there own screens and processors unlike companies like Sony

Sony should change its marketing redo timescape and actually include some innovative features

[General Topics] georgelui7:
I think i can make a concise response to this topic:

1. Horrible plastic feel

Samsung phones feel dreadful. The end.

2. Bad 'feel'

This is hard to explain, but I will try. Buttons are plasticky and clicky and inconsistent. The vibration motor is very weird and feels wrong. Just compare it to any other phone.

3. Shatter Prone

All of Samsung's android phones are very shatter prone, I dropped a Galaxy S3 once and immediately it shattered the screen.

4. Software

Touchwiz is the ugliest software to ever come from android. It is quick though, I'll give you that.

5. Bad SD card Mounting

The SD card is unmountable on the desktop, I have no idea why. It's mountable on HTC phones!

These are the reasons why I hate samsung phones (although I do use a Galaxy Note 2 in conjunction with my One X)
[General Topics] TingTingin:

I can go ahead and tell you Samsung phones are touch I know a guy who dropped his galaxy s in water 4 times washed it and carries it to work everyday and it still works like new not even a crack on the screen
[General Topics] nickem:
Well, TouchWiz wasn't that good, But I'm loving the Nature UI that came on the S3. And Sense has been horrible for the last year or so and I thinks it's quite outdated now.

I also love the feel and the grippy back of my SGSII, I actually like the design and the solid feel a lot more that the SIII and I decided to stick with it until the 4th comes out. The only bad thing I can say for the SGSII after 21 months is that the battery gave up couple of months ago and can barely stay alive for 30h now.

But after hundreds of drops, broken Gorilla Glass, 15+ different custom roms, I gotta say It exceeded my expectations. When I get the S4 I'll just give the SII away to one of my friends, the adventure has to continue :p
[General Topics] MadManMark:
You can't ask other companies to market like Samsung because they spent billions on marketing last year and more than Apple, other manufacturers don't have that kind of money to waste, they can just hope to shift their phones based on good quality
[General Topics] TingTingin:
Am I think u miss the point they don't have to copy and paste Samsung's strategy but take elements of it Samsung's marketing it's simple they give things nice words like pop up play and smart stay it makes it easy for people to know what the hell is going on I personally understand when manufacturers are talking about specs or chip architecture but the average consumer is stupid evident by the popularity of the iPhone u have to break things down take a complicated thing and make it sound nice I mean sometimes Samsung has a commercial with just 1 feature in the commercial consumers see this and go wow even though this feature may already be available in some form or another it doesn't matter as I'm talking to u I can't come up with a single feature present in timescape that's not to say it's not available but it sure as hell ain't advertised also Sony is a big scratch that huge company they have more than enough money to properly market their phones

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjaprofessor:
I get this message when I boot up.

I cannot access settings so I cannot perform a factory reset.

Is there any way to factory reset when you cannot access "Settings" because of constant force closes.

I am running stock but with lots of side-loaded apps.

I can access the file explorer. That is the only thing I can open that will remain open even though I get constant force close popups like "android.process.acore has stopped... android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly...

Is my gtab toast? Can it be saved or should I return it?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I get this all the time, with all the mods I do. Don't worry, your system is fixable.

For me, I use clockworkmod recovery .08. There's a "fix permissions" option and this always fixes the problem for me. It also allows a data wipe within recovery.

If you are 100% stock, you could try one of the stock ROM's here as well - that might get you working. You have a few options, here. Check out the FAQ in my signature. I'm actually posting up the new stock update that I pulled from TnT, today.

EDIT: Direct link the the stock ROM updates -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842000. You'd need to understand how to actually run these, which I mention in the FAQ section.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjaprofessor:
thx Roebeet, I was able to update to the new stock rom.

But I still have the same problem. Is there any other way to wipe my data. Can it be done while connected by usb or do i have to root it?

Is there any hardware button method to do a factory reset?

I still cannot open settings... it gets canceled by the force closes.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjaprofessor:
I am ready to give upon my G-Tab which I was enjoying so much.

Does anyone know how to wipe the date if you cannot open settings???
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Try clockworkmod - it really is a great tool. You can find it in the Tnt Lite dev section as I have a link for .08.

For UID issues, "fix permissions" will correct it. And you can wipe data via clockworkmod as well. You can even remove it by flashing back to stock -- the latest stock firmware works as I've done it myself, the other day.

Btw, there are so many threads here that I sometimes miss replying. I dont ignore, I just might miss a post. Always feel free to PM me if you have a question.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P0RT3R:
I had a similar issue where something got corrupted in my user data and I was completely unable to start the settings or open the keyboard. I had to flash back to the full vanilla ROM because it contained clockworkmod, which was the only option available to accomplish a factory reset. That wasn't a fun day.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Think I figured out a key reason for sudden UID issues

People including me are getting UID errors even after having a stable rom and several reboots with no issues. Based on guinea piggin' my G, I can confirm the issues happen on apparently stable installs anytime you update a Google app.

Case in point, I updated Google Voice and Gmail and soon after I rebooted the G- UID city. I have started with a clean rom and installed many different apps to test. The only apps that hose the device at reboot are the GAPPS and it is not just if you update with the package. Simply updating from market will work fine, until you reboot and then it is a few minutes for trying to shut the device down and then perhaps two reboot attempts using fixed permissions.

TnT 2.20 (at least) does NOT like GAPP updates. How could VS bork this up so bad that fundamental apps for Android bork the device?

Again, the Tap UI team and who hired them and approved it on the Gtablet should be fired, rehired for a minute and then fired for good. Word.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
This sounds kind of "preachy," but don't give up.

There is a learning curve to the G-Tablet, and it takes a good bit of reading on this site and assimilating the info.

I will testify that I had a hugely bad malfunction and and even worse fix on my tablet.

Using suggestions from helpful folk -- and carefully researching what I needed to do -- I was able to get my tablet back working just fine. To be sure, it's not stock any more!!! But I actually believe that with all I learned about flashing, mods, etc., I now could go back and make it stock again if I wanted to.

Don't give up. Just keep reading and researching the learning.

Not true for me, I installed the new Gmail from the Market with no problems. I am on TNTLite 2.2.1.

So far cell standby (77%) and phone idle (10%) are racking up on battery life.

with my gtab, there was options in the rom to not include those. is development not far enough yet to turn that off?
[Nook Color General] devis:
Define "cell"

Cell as in battery cells or cellular cells?

We need to take in account that the battery meters were developed for phones, not tablets. When I see this I think cell stands for mobile phone connection to the tower, like when the phone is on standby, screen off and connected to the tower waiting for a call, email or SMS. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
[Nook Color General] Elric W:
to clarify.. phone standby and cell referring to cellular phone. as if it expects to be running on a phone.

as I indicated, I know this was addressed with the gtab I had with a rom. I am presuming the same will have to happen for the nc.

thank you for the reply.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Is this the case when running the stock launcher as well? I'm not quite sure how low level cell standby would be, but if its ROM level as you indicated, then why wouldn't B&N have taken care of it?
