[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogans:
Don't go for the SGS if you have a Desire.

The difference isn't worth the money.

Wait for dualcores that will come next year.

2011 is gonna be a good year for phones, and you should hold on for a good upgrade :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwhooftman:
Depends if you already own a HTC Desire. I have owned a HTC Desire for a few months, and switched to a Galaxy because it was thrown in free with a provider change.

If you already own a Desire, you'll probably will not be totally satisfied with the Samsung Galaxy S.

- despite the Amoled screen, much cooler colours on the Galaxy (white is blueish),

- software just isn't working as smoothly as with HTC (unless you install the latest JPU firmware which makes it on par),

- i miss the optical trackpad now and then

On the plus side:

+ very active ROM community, you could flash several new ROMS and kernels a day

+ better battery life (with the right setup)

+ larger screen

+ much better graphics performance in games

+ Allshare (play photo's & videos straight to your Samsung TV)

I used to rleally like HTC Sense, but with Launcherpro on the Galaxy, there isn't that much difference.

My conclusion: if you already have a HTC Desire, upgrade to the Desire HD, or wait for the Galaxy S2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdy2go:
1. Touch wiz is not that bad. It's much more than the launcher. I prefer touch wiz ui with launcher pro. Touch wiz launcher is too iphonish for me.

5. I prefer galaxy over htc desire, once you lag fix it you'd never like to come back to smaller screen, hardly visible in direct sunlight.

Another advantage is swype, works flawless and speeds up text input.

Sound quality is far better than htc desire, loudspeaker, headphones, etc.

Camera is better, picture quality

And last but not least graphics performance at least twice better.

I own both devices, desire is better out of the box but with little and simple tweaking galaxy wins in all categories.

The top #1 advantage of desire is amount of Ram, galaxy has much less free memory.

Top #2 is flash, no way to use galaxy as flashlight :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unnddd:
Cheers for that. I now know that it was a mistake getting the Desire instead of the Samsung. However, the problem with getting the Samsung right now might be that a new device will come out only two months down the line, rendering the Samsung obsolete. I wouldn't normally mind that, but I'd be quite pissed off if that was the result of me not being able to wait a month or two.

Currently I have an HTC Desire and also an iPhone 4 32GB in my possession, so I could theoretically raise about £700 for a new phone. That might put me in a good position with the dual core phones coming out and all.

Does anyone know what the next generation of phones will be like? Might it be better to skip them out entirely?

Right now I can compare the Desire and iPhone, and I must say the iPhone is better in more ways than it's worse. Despite this, I was still considering selling it due to the issues with poor signal.

The iPhone build quality is definitely better, the games are actually worthwhile, and some of the apps, especially from larger companies like Facebook, seem more polished. In addition, I like the music player better (Genius is a great feature whatever anyone else may think), and the audio quality through headphones is superior. However, in almost every other way related to firmware, I think Android beats iOS. This includes gmail integration, stock apps such as contacts (especially on Sense UI) and the numerous options to customise it and play around with it; I can't install a custom kernel or test out a MIUI ROM on my iPhone.

This leaves me in a difficult position. Probably the most important considerations for me are apps, games, and the ability to use basic phone functions. The iPhone does two of these well, but is lacking in the phone department. On the other hand is Android, which is getting better as we discuss this on this very forum.

Sorry for the long rant, but does anyone else think that the quality of apps, and integration with all the different phones (fragmentation!) that are running Android vastly need to improve before Android can really rival the iPhone? I recently ran The Sims 3 side by side on both platforms. Need I say more? For me it's about quality rather than quantity. I'm not going to install all of the 80,000 apps on Android, or the 260,000 or whatever it is on the iPhone. What I will say is that most apps are comparable, but this isn't true when it comes to games.

Is anyone in a position to make a judgement as to whether the quality of the user experience and games is likely to improve in the near future?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdy2go:
IMO they (all the producers) have to do something about battery life.

The screens are getting bigger and bigger, GPUs more powerful.

The modern smartphones are less and less "wireless" - they need to be charged too often.

The next generation will be even worse than current in this area.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivegottheskill:
I only play a handful of games, but I can't tell the difference. Angry Birds and Paper Toss are identical on both platforms. Part of the problem is half-hearted efforts by developers for the Android platform. They've recently recognised it's growth, but iPhone is still more well known and more prevalent in widespread use particularly in the younger demographic who like wasting money on useless crap (i.e. silly apps), so there's usually more effort and polish put into most apps. I think developers seeking to make money also prefer the strict rigidity of the app store with iPhone

It's improving all the time as Android grows, Words With Friends is due out sometime soon

to change the dialer can use root explorer or adb..

remove the old dialer and replace with the new one.

you may find root explorer more user friendly..

Try keeping contact to the kickstand with some finger of the sliding hand. I find that my little finger keeps capacitance constant, and alleviates the jitter. Want to see weird hold the phone in both hands and sporadicly touch fingers together while sliding across the screen.

The power control module slows up response time and the touch screen gets too skewed without self correcting.

I too have been having problems with data, specifically with the Kik Messenger service which works perfect with a stock rom. I have tried Axura, Cog, and perception (latest available versions to date) all with the same results.

I thought I solved the problem switching modems to the new Telus (JL3) modem, but the problem is still there.

What happens is, to receive a message I have to open the Kik program and start typing a message to someone. About 2 seconds after I do this I receive whatever messages were sent to me (from minutes to hours ago). With the stock rom the messages are received in real-time.

Have you tried flashing the JL3 modem to your phone? I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but worth a try.

anyone know if tmobiles hspa is better than sprints wimax
[Epic 4G General] RacerXFD:
By actual performance yes, but by technicality and service, that's not necessarily true.

What was nice about t-mobile hspa+ upgrade was they even sped up 3g service for regular 3g users. But their network is spotty unless you're in texas pretty much.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
My friend with a t-mo TP2 never gets reliable speeds. Its always fluctuating. Idk about the G2 though with its hspa+
[Epic 4G General] Shadomastr:
I was under the impression that hspa+ requires certain hardware like wimax so the only phones that actually utalize the service are the g2 and mytouch 4g. Technically neither wimax nor hspa+ is really "4g" by the official definition, however, from what I've read, wimax is probably the closest we have right now. Hspa+ is an upgraded 3g network, like 3.5g. Both will run faster than 3g though so its more about what area you live in and the kind of coverage you get than which is faster. I know sprint doesn't have coverage in a lot of areas, but I'm not sure about tmobiles network.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yes and no..the reason why wimax right now is that speed is because sprint is only running it in 10mhz of spectrum..if they run it in larger mhz it will be faster...

overall though while HSPA+ on t-mobile you might get faster speeds it will diminish greatly..HSPA+ is not as efficient as wimax, thus cannot support as many simultaneous users as wimax can.

And yes HSPA+ upgrade should offer some benefit to HSPDA devices as well even if they cannot utilize the HSPA+ speeds..

Wimax is also suppose to offer lower latencies...but I don't know if that can be seen or not..I do get around 100ms when I test which isn't too bad...but some got a lot higher...
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
The great thing about hspa+ and hsdpa is that the switch is made without affecting the user. There's no need to turn anything on or off and there's no message popping up in your taskbar. You can go from GPRS to EDGE to UMTS to HSDPA to HSPA+ or any combination of the 5 without doing anything. Your internet just gets faster or slower depending on where you are. Tmo has good building penetration and MUCH faster speeds than any other network today.
[Epic 4G General] tubasteve:
Herd sprint is leasing the 4g curently for verizon and tmoible(gsm cdma) I don't care its what I was told. As far as speed? Id like to see 4g at all.
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
i have the g2, on my epic in my area i would get 2.2-2.4 Mbps on tmo in same area i get a much larger coverage of the hsdpa speeds and i get about 3.5-5.0Mbps down. i have yet to see hspa+ in my about phone but i do get faster speeds with tmo.

the thing i like is its using the same radio so i get the increased speeds without loss of battery unlike wimax
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
+1 for mentioning the truth of 4g!
[Epic 4G General] onilink67:
I loved my G1 with its internet speeds and voice reception when I lived in New England and its speed kicked the **** out of Spring 4g service but when I moved out to the midwest I couldn't get 3g barely anywhere yet alone HSPA+ and Sprint is much better overall out here. So pretty much its better as long as you live in a highly populated area that they deem is worthy for their service.
[Epic 4G General] drakkahn:
I had the G2 but due to my house being in a t-mobile black hole I decided to switch to sprint.

I live/work in an area that has both HSPA+ and Wimax and in the areas that I had a strong signal, HSPA+ would d/l at 2-6Mbps and with Wimax I average 4-5Mbps.

For me, T-mobiles coverage was spotty. Sprints has been much better.

As for the ease of switching between networks, I had a really hard time with t-mobile staying on HSPA+ even when there was a decent signal. It was much more prone to staying on the slower 3G network unless I manually forced it to stay on HSPA+

IMO, Long term, since Wimax and LTE will be the prevailing technologies, T-mobile will most likely be changing their network over at some point. HSPA+ is just helping them to buy some time so they don't fall to far behind in the carrier data race.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
It all depends on what market you are in. I live in the midwest and TMobile coverage sucks all around. ATT isn't much better. ATT still doesn't even have 3G in the city I live in, which is only 10 miles north of the biggest metro area in the state. (I laugh at my one buddy who has an iPhone) It's basically Sprint, Verizon or US Cellular if you want quality coverage here.
[Epic 4G General] bighuta:
I'm not sure what your 4g signal is where you live, but even in Denver, where 4g isn't official yet, i get anywhere from 4-9 Mbps. Then again, it isn't Live yet, so it could go down as more people start using the 4g service.

[Epic 4G General] epv:
Sprint wimax seems pretty useless here in san francisco. It gets pretty good data rates when it works but you pretty much have to be outdoors in the open. The main problem though is that it's very spotty and every time it falls back to 3g or switches back up to 4g there's no connectivity AT ALL for at least 30 seconds or so, which makes it more or less unusable. I just leave it turned off. Also the battery doesn't even last half a day with it enabled.
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
One problem I've noticed w/Sprint 4G in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale -- your connection drops & IP address changes whenever you 1)get ip lease from a tower, then 2)move somewhere more than 1 tower-hop away into a new tower's area with 3 bars of signal strength.

The moment you hit 3 bars, the connection drops to release your ip address back to the first tower... but the phone will have no connectivity at all for a few seconds, and won't try to reconnect to 4g for a few minutes unless you manually toggle 4g off & on to force an immediate reconnect.

Gave it the gb keyboard I prefer macnutR13's better keys are bigger. Gave it phone & web icons to match the app drawer icon, It's faster smoother sharper but why did he take away the mac snow leopard style animations.

i did read a post about PIT file. Always 512 MB. That`s the memory RAM quantity.

But RAM memory is only for runnig state. Then, in off state, the data (/system, /dbdata, /cache ...) are in somewhere.

My question is if that place is in sdcard, in the partion of 2 GB over the total 8GB of the memory card. And then, while booting, the SGS used that 2GB like a ROM.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I have about two weeks experience with Android OS and as a software developer I will be interested to know the technical details behind the Android OS.

I have already noticed this is possible to upgrade applications ported with the handset's ROM i.e. the Market app. This raised the question to me why can't I uninstall applications from the ROM without rooting or risking my handset's warranty to achieve this?

Is my expectation as a user of computers for 20 years unreasonable to think in 2010 with all software development and technological advances the uninstall feature should have been in Android OS from day one?

This is not exactly like Google is the first company in the world developed an OS to just the lack of experience with what users would want. From what I have seen so far in world of Android is that, the first thing users would want to know how to root their handset to remove packages that they have no use for.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NeoDriver:
My guess is that Google doesn't want users removing Systems apps. I'm assuming that they think that these applications are core and thus don't want you removing them. Remove the market, no more apps... or way to get it back etc.

Applications installed by you can be uninstalled, I'm just thinking it is the same as in windows, you can't uninstall the task manager etc (Bad example but meh =P)
