[Galaxy Tab General] X1088LoD:
So, whenever I am recording a video, watching a video, or playing angry birds, my tab experiences wierd 'hiccups'.

When recording a video, it will get through about 40 seconds and then just stop recording on its own.

When watching a video or movie it will play for like 30 or 40 seconds and then pause itself. Then I press play anf it will pause in another 30 or 40 seconds

When playing angry birds, every now and then the game will just pause when I am in the middle of whatever I am doing

These are the only things I have noticed it on. Has anyone else experienced any thing like this?

Running ADW Launcher, a couple basic apps, beautiful widgets, 3g watchdog, pure calender, qik
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lild811:
My Samsung Vibrant was all fine until yesterday, now none of the softkeys work. This includes the menu, home, back, and search buttons. So if i start an app i have to reboot my phone to get to the home screen.

I have searched the forums and there is no answer. Also I have flashed back to stock using Odin.

Also the 'sticker' underneath the battery is white(no water damage)

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkallivrousis:
Ive been trying to do alot of reading in learning the past week. i flashed my phone maybe 9 times already atleast. Now i keep reading abouts modem versions then kernels then roms. what are the difference? are they each upgradable on their own? Or do the roms upgrade them by themselves. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchem:
Some Roms upgrade through rom manager. But most of the time you have to flash the new version to get the update. Don't know much about kernals sorry but may somebody cam clearify for both of us

Sent from my phone exuse the typos(if any)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
Put simply, the kernel is the part of the software that talks directly to the hardware, different modifications are included in kernels, such as lagfixes, the ability to overclock, and BLN (backlight notifications). Most of the custom Captivate kernels you see are in fact i9000 kernels that have been tweaked to work on our phones.

Once again put simply, a ROM is the operating system of your phone, it includes applications such as the Launcher, Phone, Contacts, Email, Calculator, Calendar, Market, etc. as well as any custom settings put in by the ROM maker (AKA chef) such as the sideloading of apps and root access. ROMs can be added onto later by the user such as the installation of themes or the removal of bloatware. Most of the recent ROMs are based on i9000 ROMs.

Modems are the software that talk to the cellular radio in your phone, they also seem to effect GPS performance. Modems are bit different from kernels and roms in that there aren't any custom modems. All the modems you see on the forums are from Samsung. Modems from several different Galaxy S variants work on the Captivate.

Most ROMs (and ROM updates) are prepackaged with a kernel and a modem, but all the parts can potentially be upgraded separately with the right knowledge. One thing to keep in mind is that to avoid issues you should not mix your parts. For example, in most cases if you use an i9000 modem with a captivate kernel you will not get any sound on phone calls.

The best thing to do before you flash anything is to read, read, read.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opensourcefan:
Desire Z vs the Galaxy S I9000m from Bell which is the same as the international I9000 with a different modem.

CONS

Heavy - 180g vs SGS 120g

Thick - Feels almost double than the SGS

Smaller screen 3.7 vs 4.0.

LCD screen - AMOLED looks much better.

Small internal storage memory, OS + 8g included Sd card. 16G card needed for sure. Would rather have had the 8g internal, 16g + cards are pricey.

USB Port location on side. Difficult to hold when plugged in, awkward to type when plugged in.

Heavy

Google Picasa Sync requires a plug-in.

Very “Tinny” speaker vs the SGS. Takes a lot of eq to make it sound good.

Can't wake from touch button.

Heavy

No front camera

PROS

Battery Charge Light

Very Low Battery warning light – Red Flashing

Charging - Red

Charged Full – Green

Notification Light around touch button for phone and sms.

Notification LED under ear speaker (battery charge light) for notification in notification bar ie gmail, talk etc...

Keyboard with Backlighting

Metal Case

Dedicated Camera Button.

Camera flash.

Touch sensitive button.

Desire Z Software Pros

HTC Sense is very good. Much much much better than Touchwiz.

Way faster and responsive OS.

OS is more feature full ie, quiet ring on pickup, flip when ringing to go to speaker etc.

iPhone caliber GPS, works great.

iPhone 4 quality pictures, much better than the Galaxy S.

HTC Sense Hub with tons of skins, themes, wallpapers, widgets etc

HTC Sense Phone Finder and security services.

HTC Sync program, much better than Kies.

Power saver profile settings.

GALAXY S pros vs the Desire Z

Super light, can't feel it on your person at all.

Very thin.

Best mobile screen I have ever seen by a large margin.

USB Port placement on top is more manageable.

Front facing camera.

Wake via home button.

There is something about picking up an HTC device. Maybe it's the metal case, maybe it's the weight or the design. Not sure what it is but it feels like a professional instrument more than a toy.

Bottom line they are both very capable phones but the Desire Z easily wins because it just plain works. Samsung failed to make the GPS function, Samsung failed to make the OS quick and responsive. Samsung's Software engineering dept is weak. Above all, Samsung failed to make a phone that won't suffer from a critical failure. Thank goodness for the Dev community which makes the Galaxy S usable to our standards.

You might be thinking what about the Galaxy S GPU and processor? It's tough to state a comparison as the OS is so laggy, the Z appears to have a faster everything but that is just because the OS works very well.

I'm going to keep it as a backup and play with it from time to time but I will never buy another Samsung device again including the Nexus S. Prior to the Nexus One I was never a fan of HTC hardware either but I think they have come a long way.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fablife:
Coming from a SGS to a DZ - I agree with you 100 percent!

Dont get me wrong - I loved my SGS (when it worked). Even with the slight lags and such I still liked it. Even with Touchwiz (leaps and bounds BEHIND Sense)...I still used it.

But after playing with the DZ; I have to admit - it (the DZ) is a much more capable device.

I too would never buy another samsung product (this will be hard as I liked samsung for a number of years; but their doggy response to the GPS, SD failures and customer inquiries have turned my off of them permanently.

I would get (planning on getting) a Desire HD over a Nexxus S any day of the week (as soon as its available in Canada)

The SGS super amohled screen will be missed ALOT; but what good is it if the device cant even boot!
[G2 and Desire Z General] rumitg2:
Im confused are you talking about the Desire Z vs. Galaxy S devices or the DZ vs Nexus S?

i mean the Nexus S is running stock gingerbread and you guys are talking about touchwiz....

please make it clear because i cant tell what device your talking about.. no samsung device has touchwiz and a ffc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Segnaro:
The International Galaxy S, the i9000, has a FFC. So does the Epic 4G.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opensourcefan:
This statement may be the source of your confusion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rumitg2:
regardless these phone are NOT the Nexus S. from what i gather ur comparing the g2 and the i9000/international.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opensourcefan:
Never once said either of them was the Nexus S as it clearly states Desire Z (not G2) and Galaxy S in my post. I did mention the NS but that was because it's a device made by Samsung. I will edit the post to read specifically the I9000m that is in my signature.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sleef:
Interesting. I played with a friend's Galaxy S and thought it was a pretty decent phone.

I might suggest taking your Desire Z and flashing Cyanogenmod or even the stock G2 ROM and compare again.

Sense has some neat features but I find that it seriously slows down whatever phone it's on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opensourcefan:
Based on how much the cooked roms improved the Galaxy S I can only imagine how much better the Z operates, just can't bring myself to play with it yet though. I got my heavily modded Galaxy S past warranty inspection don't wanna risk the Z right now. The Z must be lightning fast with a good rom and a OC'ed kernal, certainly is tempting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sleef:
I used Flippy's kernel for a while and ran some benchmarks while OC'd to 1.8Ghz! Got some pretty nifty scores. Close to 3000 on Quadrant and 60+ on Linpack.

When I upgraded CM, I didn't bother flashing another kernel. 1.5Ghz is plenty for me. The scores are still impressive and, more importantly, the phone runs great. Though, I never had problems with Flippy's kernel. Even at 1.8 the phone ran solidly even if the battery drained pretty fast.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Susido:
Any impressions on how usable the Samsung S-AMOLED screen is outdoors? I really like my Desire Z but I need to use my phone on occasion outdoors or in my vehicle during daylight hours and I find it almost impossible to see my screen! Apparently that's a rare requirement but if the S-AMOLED helps significantly, I'd consider changing phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opensourcefan:
I never had an issue with it outdoors at all. It is by far the best screen I have ever seen in my life. Actually it's in front of me now, just finished playing some NFS. I usually kept the brightness at 38% except in direct sunlight when I would crank it. But that was only direct sunlight which you could fix by shifting your body. The brightness was good enough to where I set it at 38% full time and disabled the auto mode. Obviously the brighter the better it looks though. The screen is one of the reasons I can't let it go.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bobbytomorow:
My last android phone was Galaxy S (Vibrant w\front facing camera) and I didn't like it. Felt too light and cheap, like it was a hollow toy. Good screen, thats about it. Ironically it has died with its new owner, the internal 16GB memory went.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opensourcefan:
Ya, the "In hand feel" just can't compete with any HTC phone out there right now. I like the hollow toy analogy. The Z or G2 feels like a substantial device or instrument if ya wanna go that far. Unfortunately with the Z the side effect is the hefty weight but one can't have everything for free. The lack of weight with the Galaxy sure was nice sometimes. Especially if your wearing loose fitting clothes or if you have to run with it. It's funny though, all the things I like about the Z would add weight to the Galaxy if it had those features (Led, Flash, Camera Button, Keyboard, Metal Case...) so again, nothing is for free.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kcaz:
I don't think "ironically" was the word you were looking for, maybe "predictably"?

I bought a Desire Z while my Galaxy S was gone for weeks having the internal SD replaced. The only thing the Galaxy S has on the Z is the screen, which doesn't make up for the lag, slow upgrade to Froyo, Kies, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fablife:
I was in the same boat. SD card in SGS was fried by 2.2 upgrade. Got into a Desire Z for the time being until its repaired - but have decided to stay with the Desire and sell the SGS when it comes back.

I do miss the super ahmoled screen - but the Desire has many other pros which I rather have.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScooterG:
I've been going back and forth on this same topic the past week.

Vibrant w/ 2.2 Nero V3, voodoo lagfix, 1000mhz vs G2 w/ CM 6.1 1516mhz

G2 gets 59 in Linpack = win

Vibrant gets 14

G2 gets 2600+ Quadrant = win

Vibrant gets 1500

Real world:

Open Market - tie

Pull up "My Apps" in Market - tie

Speedtest - Vibrant gets higher speeds over wifi and 3/4g (I'm in LA/OC area...the pic in my sig is from my Vibrant)

Google Maps - Open app to lock - tie

Google Maps Accuracy - G2 is slightly better and doesn't wander by 10 meters

The Sims (Market version on both phones) - Vibrant wins until the load screen with the loading bar. Once to that screen, the G2 pulls ahead for a win.

YouTube - Open app - Tie

YouTube - Play video - Vibrant wins

Screen: Vibrant wins when anything black is displayed. If you're not dealing with blacks, I actually really like the G2 screen. Vibrant wins outside. Vibrant gets win for size.

Feel: G2 wins

Mechanical Usability: G2 wins for flash, trackpad, led notifications.

The recent release of the Nero roms on the Vibrant are what spurned me to do this test. As of about 2 weeks ago I was 100% set on either selling the thing or seeing what what my new SOG multi tool could do to it. Now...not so sure. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] xZeDgEx:
Haha, same here. Got my Galaxy S back on Friday, a new one actually, they did not repair my old one. Keeping the Desire Z and selling the Galaxy S. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Furry Atom:
Yup comparing the vibrant at 1000mhz against the G2 @ 1.5GHz sure is a fair comparison. You should have left the G2 at stock, that's how the phone comes.

P.S. My vibrant with lagfix and froyo gets 2426 on quadrant... Just another example of how "fair" your comparison was.
[G2 and Desire Z General] opensourcefan:
All the speed testing in the world means nothing against the actual feel of the device. If it feels fast and feels responsive and all your apps/games work then the numbers mean nothing. My first flash of a custom rom on my SGS yielded the fastest scores I have ever had but that was a few months ago and was the slowest rom I had ever used in respect to "feel". The latest flash was close to stock numbers but felt and was sooooo much faster.

The one thing I can say for sure is, is that the Z is way quicker out of the box than the SGS.

We desperately need a new standard of testing. Right now a YT video is the most realistic evidence of speed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shabbypenguin:
ok well im sure this isnt aimed at it but seeing as this is a SGS comparison thread guess ill throw my 2 cents in about my old epic. the onenand and 16GB microsd card make for a very fast system, 128 ram dedicated to gpu and os with a though put of about 12.6Gbps means that the epic is the only SGS that wasnt crippled by samsungs horrendous software. ffc, led flash, slide out keyboard meant that it could very well keep up with the g2 with no problems. in fact out of teh box my epic is much faster then the g2.

the reason why im on the g2 though is the lack of software support, from teh community and the manufacturer. seriously half the "roms" are nothing more then themes one guy did nothing more then throw on a custom launcher and bam thats a "rom".. whats worse is the epic community is stupid enough to donate to him
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScooterG:
So I should have reverted the Vibrant back to stock as well then? No. I used both phones in their most commonly optimized states. I would never have bothered to make the comparison had the Nero Roms from the past couple weeks not resolved many of the issues that I have had with the Vibrant since day one in July.

P.S. Being pretty familiar with the Vibrant and the forums at XDA, I'm calling BS on your 2426 :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kubernetes:
+1

You did the right thing in comparing the phones in their most optimized setups.

And you can get 2400+ on a Vibrant, but you'd have to be using OCLF, which is slower in actual use than Voodoo. Synthetic benchmarks are a poor substitute for actual user experience.

i dont like the black label behind the icons on the homescreen of dell streak..i have a 2.2 android version and i want these black bar icons removed on it..please help me
[Streak 5 General] tmotytn:
get a different launcher like ADW or LauncherPro, and you can hide the labels...

With ADW, you can also lock the screen in portrait...
[Streak 5 General] msgnyc:
If Dell added the icons borders lke how HTC did their espresso roms for T-Mo, you should be able to just pull framework-res.apk, edit the image files n push it back

or as tmotytn mentioned, use a dif launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro.

I have had my mozart for about 6 weeks, and been using it in the car with my BMW Bluetooth.

3 days ago, the phone must have re-booted 20times in one hour while in the car. I turned off bluetooth on the phone. The phone stopped re-booting

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolskaap:
Hey. Forgive me for being vain, but I like it when my Facebook status displays 4 minutes ago via Sony Ericsson X10(with the SE logo to the left).

It only shows up when you use Timescape. The normal facebook app shows via Android and Dolphin Browser displays via Mobile Web.

Is there any way to get it to show up if you removed Timescape(either because you don't like it, or for optimization i.e using the JIT-optimizers)?

Maybe some way to make Dolphin Browser fool Facebook into thinking it's from Timescape?

I had the same thing happen with a SanDisk Micro SDHC card. I popped it out and back in and it was recognized.

Beyond that, I don't understand why a PC will not recognize the removable SD card when it's in the GTab. I'm used to connecting my Droid X (previously by Blackberry Storm) to my PC and treating it as a removable drive. I'm surprised I cannot do that on the GTab.

I'm getting reports that it's lagging on the Evos, but I assume they run stock. Has anyone gotten a chance to play this game on ur overclocked Evos? I don't wanna drop $$$ if it'll be choppy as hell.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blasian shadows:
They didn't really optimize it imo. I bought it on my bros evo. The framerate sucks. Mainly because of the gpu. And lack of optimization. Looked like they focused more on sgx gpus. Although the g2 and mt4g can run it. Mainly because of the newer gpu.

You can change the graphical settings thru the slider. I moved it to the middle and now it's really smooth. I set my CPU to 1113mhz, but i'm gonna try stock speeds for comparison.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meanee:
It's not too bad. Tolerable, but not great. What I can see from my general observation, the environment (levels, 3D objects) are fast. UI slows it down. Shows when you try to do something, background 3D stuff is fast, but UI framerate is bad. Once you are done managing your character, and start playing, you should be ok.

Also, 3 bucks is not that much money. I dropped it anyway, thinking that even if it's bad on Evo, it may give developers incentive to work on updates.
