I use live hold'em poker with android in my hd2 without any lag or issues.

Iam very surprise you have an HD2 and want to revert back to wm6.5, which by the way is the worst OS for the hd2.

Android has come a long way in development with HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bonito77:
Thats realy the unqualified statement I ever read. They are two different OS whereby everyone has its advantages and also disadvantages. For games and apps clearly Android is the better one. But for modding and in business the advantage is clear at WM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iefen:
yeah which one do u use? i mean wich android os.

and yeah i like the basic wm 6.5 and i seriously HATE the energy rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PENKO956:
any business you want to do with winrom you can do better with Android.

yes they do have advantages and disadvantages but theirs a reason why mostly all of hd2 owners are switching to android. windows is way behind android in apps and development. Numbers don't lie. but hey by all means go ahead and stay with your win6.5...

"unqualified statement" lol you should read more....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iefen:
yeah i have the desire rom on my phone but it crashes A LOT i dont like it anymore so i dont use android much.

but if u could say how i can use my phone always with android i really like that :D:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PENKO956:
the question is do you still want winrom?

if yes then you need to go the SD route. <- keeps windows

If no then you need to go NAND route. <- no more windows:)

im using HD2one NAND with no issues at all

just download the build package and follow directions.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bonito77:
Be cool bro, was no attack to you only my opinion and be sure I've read enough about android. So I think e.g. my clients are not realy pleased to hear that I give google all my contact data only why I install any app.

I'll never say it didn't run smooth or anything else.

And hey, we can be glad that all of us have different flavors, or not?

Nice evening,

true that :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bystep2k:
actually I think (in my opinion) wm is better than android

I almost tried all android builds (nand & sd),android is really smooth,eye candy,easy to use os ,but it has some disadvantages that made me downgrade to wm:

1.battery life sucks,android and especially froyo can dry the battery juice in less than 12 hours and somtimes less,and battery life is one of the most important thing

in any phone,android power management still needs so many improvements

2.I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed that, but android doesn't really

have a good task manager,e.g:if I open the internet browser it won't exit until I do a soft reset,and there's several apps that don't exit,so by this way we use more ram which leads us to more battery draining

but I really like android and it's an amazing OS and I think every hd2 owner should try android,it's really cool and may keep it

we have different tastes
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmarcus:
I'm by no means and Android n00b. I've been using it since the HTC Magic came out and rooting and flashing ever since.

However, I've been stuck at the Google screen every time I try flashing a different rom other than the one that roots my phone using the Ubuntu script

It works and is rooted after this method, however flashing anything like a rom from TeamWhiskey, et al or a Kernel, just leaves me hanging. Literally.

Any ideas on what I must be doing wrong?

PS

I have clockwork 3.0.x.x flashed and installed already
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
I'm going to assume that you remembered to wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, etc. prior to trying to flash anything, yar?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmarcus:
Yep. It's a habit at this point. I've gone and wiped everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
So, I'm a daily patron on craigslist and as a side hobby I trade phones, I always seem to make a profit if I wait so it's something I do kinda for fun. I have had a recent influx of literally every kind of galaxy S phone there is aside from the Nexus S (which I wouldnt touch with a 10 foot pole.) For example, I posted my HD7 less than 2 hours ago, and have had 13 offers, 4 are unlocked iphones and the remaining 9 have all been captivates or vibrants all offering as much as 150 cash with their phone for an HD7. I mean a couple would be written off as coincidence but literally every offer. I mean I knew these phones were crap the first time I touched the vibrant but it's funny seeing all these media sheep finally realizing they made a bad deal. Samsung has always been the biggest scam artist in the phone world and it's good to see so many people finally realizing it. This just goes to show that HTC is the only way to go :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ninjuh:
You can't really talk unless you've owned a galaxy s phone. I can tell you from experience the Captivate or Vibrant is anything but a piece of ****. Given, the software sucks but that's why we have xda, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
Had a vibrant 3 days, rooted, unlocked, and running the G2 girmware (or a clone). Worst phone I've had since the cliq. The original software was crap (thank you XDA for that save) and the overall plasticky feel of it paired with the buffer overrun issue just killed it. My wife owns a captivate, much better build quality and doesnt seem to have the same buffer issues though I would think it should. XDA has made that phone usable but by default... hardly. I'd still pick an HD2 running android over it any day. Of course this is ffrom someone whos grown tired of android as a whole and the fact that it has to be constantly 'tweaked' just to remain functional but as a former android fanboy, those phones were kinda an embarassment and way overhyped for mediocrity.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBiles:
I owned a Nexus S for long enough to have an opinion: I'm never buying from Samsung again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junxracr:
People that sell out vibrant can't handle vibrant or android imho.Get an iphone and don't even bother with any android.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
people who buy vibrants are people who do what the media tells them is more individual. Go be a mac user. I'll stick to real android devices manufactured by HTC as they should be.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Blåburk:
Had a Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia between jan 2009 and mars 2010 (dropped it in water that killed the Omnia but thank lord not the SIM and memory cards).

Anyone still remember the Samsung marketing of that phone. Well to make a long story short: The i900 never delivered what Samsung promised in their marketing.

Sticking to SonyEricsson now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] essojay:
but you have a samsung in nexus S, Nexus S was made by Samsung for Google.

How about that?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
hence the reason hes texting from a G2... he obviously gave it up...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] avgjoegeek:
I own a Captivate - and other than the crappy OTA OS, non-working GPS, random shutdowns, and the lag... it's a great phone. :rolleyes:

But.. thanks to XDA and much tweaking the performance of the phone is better, GPS hobbles along semi working - but the shutdown issue still exists due to hardware and I've been too busy to go get it exchanged.

I wouldn't recommend getting a Samsung phone to anyone. I like mine (when it works) but couldn't recommend it to anyone else.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] notinterested:
I will personally never buy a samsung phone again after owning the moment. The wife has an epic and loves it but i dont care much for it.

That said the latest LG phones have been very nice and i am not a fan of sense so its nice to have options other than htc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] allthrottle:
Your average every day person will either think the vibrant is a great phone or a complete fail. I liked my vibrant until I started hearing about the issues and realized they exist. Now, after many modifications, I like it more than any phone out now.

I work with 3 people that own droid x's. Anytime I've asked any of them to play with it, it's had nearly as much lag as my stock vibrant. I owned a g2 for 3 days and mytouch 4g for a week. Those are for people that want a new, fast phone and don't care how it looks or how they look using one. Neither are very physically attractive, they run decent though.

Galaxy S phones were definitely a fail software wise by samsung. Hardware wise, they're still as good as anything else. They aren't for people that want a top phone but don't want to modify it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] orells:
some nnob said he had G2 firmware on his Vibrant... BS! My vibrant is a G2/MT4G/EVO/DroidX killer, screw benchmarks, just take raw performance. Yes I rooted and flashed roms (no lag-fix though) but thats wats so great abiut android.

Now I will say that out of the box it has issues, but so has every phone. (excluding the G1 it was excellent) But I have working gps, night mode imo better than led flash, ffc with all video chat apps working, noled for notifications, full 2.2 with flash 10.1, ect...

The SGS community have made thus phone great. People just have to take advantage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] okaytran:
well I mean there have been over 10 million galaxy s phones sold, so its understandable that they'd show up on craigslist more. but because of past experiences with Samsung, (ie my mom's moment) I would never trust a Samsung again. should've got her a htc hero.

sent from evo using xda app
[Galaxy S I9000 General] orells:
everyone says sammy's bad about updating but what about moto and the cliq? htc and the G1 after the mytouch and n1 release? Dell and sony still shipping 1.6? they all sucked. Sammy was smart by concentrating on one device, working the update and allowing the carrier to add tweaks. The phone has been here 6mos max and people are clamoring that they are slow, the phone is still new, and they've dropped updates already for launch day issues. If your unit is defective exchange it, you got a year warranty like the rest of us.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
So you got the only vibrant in the world that didn't need the lag fix? lucky you. Everyone else in the world has a device that barely runs without one and who will trade it off for anything. I literally got offered 2 for my spare mytouch slide and turned them down. I don't care if the processor is insanely outdated and the phone barely makes the mid-range mark it functions better than any rooted vibrant even out of the box and that's hard to say with that mysense garbage. A vibrant does not come close to a g2 in terms of performance even with the lesser processor and the mytouch 4g beats out any other android phone to date. I don't do android anymore because I got tired of a laggy UI but I still use it as my fun phone though I've given up on it as anything professional but I can assure you I've rooted and modded more phones than most of the members of this community since windows phone was new. I was a real early adopter of android and followed it ritualistically for two years. If you want to call someone a noob try the guy who thinks his vibrant can take a g2 and cant spell noob.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
Do feel free to call Samsung about the aforementioned lag. Though it affects over 40 percent of phones they aren't replacing phones for it. They have been promising for 3 months now that it will be resolved with their new firmware update. The cliq and G1 weren't over-hyped as phones that would be high range top of the line phones that would stay updated. Hell, the behold 2 literally said in their ad campaign that they would always have the latest android update on it and yet they never even built drivers for later versions of android. We all know where Samsung's intentions lie. If you remain blind to them then thats your own self-disillusionment.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kobesabi:
I was going to sell mine back too but founded XDA froyo, so I'm keeping it. Doesn't Nexus S get update OTA from Google?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vapotrini:
Sorry to break it to you, but I wouldn't trade my Vibrant in for a G2 or the mytouch. No chance whatsoever. While it's true that stock the phone leaves a lot to be desired, putting on any of the quality custom Roms that can be found here fixes all issues. I have done side by side comparisons with all the phones you mentioned and guess what? My Vibrant runs rings around them.

Like I said though, stock the phone definitely has a lot of issues. And seeing that most people out there don't have any clue about custom roms, it's hardly surprising that people want to trade them in.

Not even sure why I responded as you seem to be on a hate campaign, while having next to no experience with the device. 3 days with it unlocked and rooted, running G2 firmware was it? lol!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrsbelpit:
whoever offered you 2 Vibrants for a mytouch slide is an idiot, and you should have taken it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndroidSupreme:
Rooted, lag-fixed and on Insanity Rom, my phone is running like a dream! =)

Though I have to say that while I am enjoying my SGS, many do not know about the phone's true capabilities and therefore think it's rubbish. I blame Samsung for their mediocre software. Why is it that there are developers, some as young as 16, who are able to vastly improve the phone's performance with lagfixes, roms and such but Samsung seem so incompetent that they would sell a device with functions that don't work e.g GPS!

WTF?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
I'm sorry I may have misworded. I was offered one vibrant for one mytouch slide on two seperate occasions... and shot em down
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TexUs:
Well,

I have a Captivate and as said, it's anything but crap.

It's thin, light, does great on battery (better than iPhone), and well made.

The downside was the software support for it and like already said, that's why XDA is here. If it wasn't for XDA I could probably join the hate bandwagon but I've really got no complaints on the Captivate.

My next phone will not be a Samsung though. I want a manufacturer, that regardless of XDA, can at least keep it's stuff up to date.

It'll prob be the Atrix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] naplesbill:
Well, I have owned many Samsung phones. None of them every received the level of support I would have liked. This is not unique to Samsung. Motorola, HTC, SE, and pretty much all other manufacturers have dropped support of devices prematurely.

I had the original BlackJack and that phone was very durable. Of course, it required custom roms to get the latest and greatest of that time. I also owned an HTC Tilt and it never received much attention from HTC. I have had the G1 and MyTouch 3G, both required rooting and custom roms to be updated properly. The Motorola Backflip was forgotten by Motorola almost before it was released. SE dropped the ball big time on the X10. I had the Captivate for 28 days, loved the phone but it was the buggiest Android build I have ever seen. Samsung still hasn't followed through on the SGS issues that plague the entire line. I still have the Fascinate as my work phone.

The bottom line is, all manufacturers would rather you buy a new device than to provide updates to an old one.

I have recently switched to the Samsung Focus, even after I swore I'd never buy another Samsung phone. Truthfully, it is the best Windows Phone 7 device in many ways. It is better than the HTC WP7 devices because it uses NAND instead of built-in SD memory. It also has the best screen for multimedia. The best part is, I don't have to worry about Samsung providing any updates, Microsoft will push the updates for WP7 devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
I actually agree with you almost 100 percent. My wife just got the focus and it has me rethinking my HD7 even though I'm in love with the huge screen. Without bloatware it might be good though I still believe part of the lag is a hardware problem on the galaxy S devices. As far as the G1 and stuff goes the mytouch was updated to 2.1 and the G1 (flagship device) was updated one firmware version on time and then recieved minor OTA updates but you cant really expect a device to get every update officially regardless. It would be nice however if Samsung had come with an up to date version or updated there quickly. I mean they are apparently the leader in smartphones 7 years running...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TexUs:
That shows you how much you know because the lag issue was fixed long ago by the community by simply using different file systems. Note: software, not hardware.

The GPS is still a "who knows".

It's not prematurely. The Captivate has been out 6-7 months? The international version a month or two longer than that? And they still don't have a GPS fix????

That's just crappy support, period. It's not prematurely nixing it, it's just crap from the start.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
Im aware of the one click lag fix and the lag fix kernel. Use one or both of them then put it beside a captivate. Tell me which one runs faster because it only seems to effect the Vibrant to such an extensive degree. Even with the fixes it runs about as well as a factory captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skotua:
I've never had a problem with my gps... It's always taken a little longer then I'd like to connect but it still does its stuff for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TexUs:
I'd disagree. But every Cappy seems to be different (Why that is, I dunno).

I just got my second one (hoping the GPS is better), and what was once stable (Cognition) is not stable on the second one.

Mine sucks. Even when locked it'll think I'm on side streets, etc. Haven't tried the GPS on my second one yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BootloopedMillennials:
Never owned a Galaxy S phone but did test out a few before I settled on my G2. Reason I didn't go with a Galaxy S phone is the GPS issues and plasticy feel. I wanted a phone that felt solid and didnt feel like a toy. No knock on Galaxy S phones I thought the G2 was a better choice for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hazard99:
Wow expect to see so much hate for the galaxy s series considering its hardware.

I've learned a few things from Xda. One of the main things I've learned is never expect much from stock software. Then again I've never been one to stick with stuck software.

I Just got my vibrant I've had It for about 2 weeks now. My choices were another hd2 a mytouch 4g or a g2. I didnt want the smaller screens after coming from the hd2 so that eliminated all but the sammy.

Not but a few hours after buying the phone from craigslist I had it rooted and Nero v3 installed. What I did see of touchwiz I did like. I Might be the only person to say that though.

I dont have problems with battery life and I have battery ocd. If my battery drops below 70 percent I freak. Its a constant battle not to charge my phone. I can go aslong as the day is long on one single charge doing various things with my phone.

The weight of the phone threw me off abit and Ill admit I am affraid to drop it. But I have seen many people report that it is tougher than it feels.

I am not inlove with my vibrant and If i had to buy another phone I would buy a vibrant all over again.

I do not depend on sammy or htc for updates xda and all the wonderfuld devs have my back!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oka1:
The OP apparently does not go down the Techie/ modding road. If he did his statements would be different. I have had 3 Blackberry's, 3 I-Phones, 2 window phones and 4 Android phones of all the above The SGS is by far the most forgiving if you mod the phone both hardware and software wise. I have changed hardware, fixed the GPS hardware (go figure ppl it was 10 min fix). Now I have a phone that is increasingly hard to improve upon, but that was the point to mod the phone to my liking.......and now I really got it there. Great battery, no lag, fast and snappy, have all the neat things --HTC had something I wanted, I got on my phone, got some Droid-x software on my phone...........oh yeah and average 12 sats with 5-8 locks inside or out......Hmmmm ....... What I will say is ALL the USA carriers are the majority of the problem and not Samsung. Most in XDA do not understand Corporate Business interactions. but that is a different subject. The important thing, ppl need to be objective rather than emotional........ if they do that, they will see the SGS is a pretty awesome piece of technology with super Dev support..........and of course Thanks XDA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] z33dev33l:
Eh, I've owned 14 android phones, an iphone (which I now wont touch with a ten foot pole), 8 WM devices and 3 WP7 devices and all of them (short the WP7 devices) have been modded to their fullest extent. The galaxy S phones even fully modded just dont compare to most other phones. My HD2 ran android better than it could ever hope to even with the terrible (though massive) screen. Hell I could over clock my G2 to 1.8 gHz, whats the vibrant stuck at? 1.2 and feeling like a toy with a still not quite as quick OS? Most US carriers suck when it comes to delivering but touchwiz and hardware that was so-so aside from epic display is what killed this device. The only reason samsung sells so well is because they know how to market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] avgjoegeek:
I think Samsung has sold so many phones is because they are Samsung - usually providing awesome equipment in other areas (LCD's, TV's etc..) and I jumped on the bandwagon based solely on the name and the fact it was the "best" option on AT&T.

If it wasnt for XDA - the Captivate would be crap. Although I like the phone - I don't like the issues that came with it.

But I'm still holding on to it - it's still the best phone AT&T offers (no WP7 for me thanks). The iPhone although being a nice device is a throwaway device - you can't do anything with it except use it and lose it after the next model comes out.

At least I can keep upgrading the Cappy and replace the battery :D
