[Adam General] amarko5:
I was wondering if you clever devs could look into adding phone functionality to the adam 3g model ?

it should be capable and would be handy for the odd occasions with a bluetooth headset.

The early tablets and recently at ces the tablet had phone icons on the desktop so im sure its at least a possibility !!

many thanks in advance

On the Battery Use, I have seen a "Phone" process.

Maybe it is already activated, but not used
[Adam General] ma10:
You can get to the phone section via "contacts" but when you try to make a call it says "call ended" after you hit the call button. From the FCC docs, it says that the Ericcson F3307 3G card is "voice" capable so in theory it is possible! The only thing even close to phone functionality that does work is the sending/receiving SMS messages atm.
[Adam General] MCreane:
Just a shot in the dark, but does google voice's data calling use the same process?
[Adam General] Mookie_Jones:
yes and it sucks. it only stinks that the google voice works over data and not wifi. so i cant make a call over wifi if i dont have a valid sim card in.

Is SGS the best Android phone yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Yes

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
Nexus S is probably better at this time..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guilherme.accorsi:
Well, i have one, wich is bricked at the moment :-(.

When you are using its great, yes its the best, but SGS fails badly in one HUGE thing, at least for me, USB connection to PC, this is very, very bad and for me drops the score for SGS from 10/10 to like 8/10.

For a 600$ phone, USB connection should be perfect, ill go a lithe further and tell you that for that price you shouldnt have to be flashing firmwares and lag fixing your phone UNLESS you wanted too, that for me drops even more the score of SGS to like 6.5-7/10.

Ill tell you one thing, SGS2 is on the way, but ill think a LOT before buying it, ill make sure these basics things are ok in the SGS2, cause im very disapointed with SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rofa1:
Well with a Mac the USB connection is absolutely no problem. With Froyo 2.2.1 I've got no lag. In fact no complaints at all. Now an even bigger screen would be nice...:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guilherme.accorsi:
Hi Rofa,

the thing is, you can't rate a equipment solo based on your experience, google for "SGS USB" and you'll see that a bunch of users have this problem and usb connection at least for me its a basic for a phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

i use dropbox too, or used to use :p, but know that i need the usb to re-flash a rom it is giving me a ultra hard time
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cicer0:
LoL, that's a good one. I know a bunch of people who have SGS - not even one of them had any USB problems, I also haven't seen a lot of threads here on xda about the problem.

I never ever had problems with USB connection (did have with Kies, but that was Kies problem) and I had 5 different firmwares (no manual flashing, 2 upgrades over Kies and first two were done by service).

Maybe you have defected phone, I don't know, but I think you're a noob and don't know how to use your phone and pc or you've just fu*ked up something somewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guilherme.accorsi:
Are you paid by Samsung to offend anyone that doesn't think their product is perfect ? or are you just a fanboy who can't stand the phone you use receiving critics, i couldn't care less for you "expertise", you are such an expert that had your firmware updated by service, i couldn't care less for about you think of me, if i am a noob or whatever you may think, you don't know me, so keep restricted at answering the post, not what you think of me.

Galaxy S do have problems out of the box, i have one, i like it, but im not blind to its negative points.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
Exactly. I have had my phone replaced because of a dead internal SD card. I have had lagging problems, but not as bad as some others have mentioned. My GPS works sporadically. Because of these problems I would have to say no. But, I haven't tried any other Android phones, so I don't know what others are like.

An expensive phone like this, or any phone with this hardware for that matter, should not have problems like this. A quality phone should have no major hardware problems.

I think that manufacturers can, at times, release a product that is not ready for prime time so that they can make the profit from that device. If they take the time to properly test it, they will not make as much money as fast.

Will I but another Samsung phone? I do not know, but I do know I will definitely look at others before I make my decision.

Usb problem?

Well that's very few that has and 99% of them has bad drivers installed.

There are a few bad sgs with different hardware foult and usb is one if them.

This is common on all hardware.

This is a advanced phone and it gas a few bugs like all other advanced phone. If you don't want them you need to buy a basic phone.

No, but it's better than the Nexus S. To my mind it just feels to cheaply made and plasticky
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mileris:
I agree that this phone is cheaply made, but design of this phone is realy cool I think and I never had problems with USB connection. I think it's feals cheep becous phone is wery light. But i think the price is rigth, becouse we get powerfull phone with Super amoled screen. Other phones has werry good built quality, they haven't SAMOLED and they are not so powerfull as SGS. Other phones has their + and -like SGS. And I have no lag at my SGS. It's not rooted and there is no any lag fix. I just managing running aplications in background. I think it's really good phone.

sorry for my bad english :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Well i guess we must see the sgs on a different way.

On 2.1 it was laggy and things worked bad sometimes.

On 2.2 things got alot better.

On 2.2.1 things is very good. Not much lag and things works good.

You also get more memory.

The 2.2.1 version should be the first version that shipped with the sgs.

I think they rushed the release of it, but they all do that.

But the fact is that sgs is the best and the most powerful android phone today.

The htc desire hd is very very cool, i had it for a short while and was very impressed, but due to gettin an upgrade soon i sent it back and am stickin with my galaxy s, i love this phone.

As someone stated earlier we shouldnt really need to be doin lagfixs and stuff like that, but with every phone does come a few problems, and its handy to have so many people helpin out and makin roms for us to enjoy, i have stock 2.2.1 and dont actually need a lagfix or anything.

Hopefully the galaxy s 2 will be bigger and better than this

:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
If you mean nexus s then you have not read much about it.

Sgs is better or same on most things. The most bad with it is the lack of external sdcard. That's very bad.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve57925:
All I can say is my own honest opinion, straight out the box, excellent phone with no issues, the more apps you install the more lag you get but if you instal a decsent rom (darkys or all in one are good for me so far and docs is meant to be good) the lag will be fixed, im currently on darkys 9.1 without lag fix and its super quick,

As for the usb issue I havent personally faced any problem as yet and ive connected my phone to 4 desk tops and 2,lap tops,with no issues, I did have to plug in the usb and let it find the phone and let it instal drivers about 4 or five times for each unit I connected to but this is what Ive had to do with most gadgets in the past,

hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve57925:
Oh and I totally agree with damiengto, the sgs is far better than the nexus s in my eyes, ok ya get a flash for the camera on the nexus but the night capture mode on the sgs is superb
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssar23:
My SGS GT-I9000 16GB seems to connect OK via USB:

On my WinXP Pro desktop PC I downloaded & installed the latest version of Kies (mid Dec 2010) and each time I connect the SGS it recognizes it both under Windows & Kies fine.

On my Win7Pro laptop Windows automatically loaded some drivers upon first connecting the SGS via USB then appeared to recognize it when connected but initially would not recognize it's directory & data beyond that.

I now believe this is because I had the SGS WiFi turned on, as now with it turned off it works perfectly.

(My SGS Bluetooth appears to connect fine to both my +1's Galaxy 3 GT-I5800 and the above laptop btw).

As for the OP's question, I really have no idea as I've hardly looked at any apart from our own units.

As it is, stock out of the box (with Optus in Australia, then firmware updated through Kies to Froyo PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4), no lagfixes, not rooted, I find it very hard to believe that it would be the best android phone yet - It's just so LAGGY!

I do hold out hope, however, that it can hum along real nicely with some rooting/application of Android 2.2.1/custom ROM etc. which I am considering mightily.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
I'd personally disagree.. Where I work, almost everyone has an SGS, yet, I seem to be the only one with an external SDcard, and the only reason I purchased it was for Cyanogenmod (which didn't work well without one). 16GB is plenty of space, and it holds enough albums to last a VERY long time. Whilst an external SD card is nice to have on paper, not too many people seem to use it..

Also, the night handling on the SGS might be excellent, but the flash can also probably double as a flashlight too (which is a very handy feature). And even if in some cases it's washed out, you can take more photos with a flash, than without. It also has proper gyros and a few other minor features. Apparently the screen also has a better coating on it.

So I honestly don't think the Galaxy S is better, unless you TRULY need the extra storage, in which case, even 48GB probably wont be enough either anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mull54:
I agree with you, a phone for that kind of money should not have this problems out of the box but now when you can fix them it's okej for me.

I had some problmes with the usb connection but i installed a program called PDAnet and it solved the problems.

I love my epic but am terrified of bricking my phone. 2.1 is incredibly stable and was wondering if there was a 2.2 rom that someone like me could flash that was also extremly stable. I dont want to lose my epic , however I am kinda tired waiting. P.S yes I really people have asked this before however maybe things have changed ad one rom has become better than others. I am new and kinda scared to be honest, so please play nice :)

Adding support for nebula 1.0.7
[Epic 4G General] Snager:
I've tried all the roms out here on xda, and Nothing so far comes close to Nebula ROM. I was running Nebula 1.0.6 since it was out on 1/2/2011 and no issues other then having a corrupted file system due to using the 3 button reboot. (don't use it ...there is a good chance it will mess up your phone, just not sure why it does it)

Yesterday right before going to Nebula 1.0.7, I've flashed all the different ROMS out to see how they are. After a bunch of testing I've decided to stay with Nebula.

All I can say is perfect! Its so smooth and fast that as soon as you boot up you notice the difference right away. I know Qudrant scores and other bench scores dont mean much but I've gotten my highest when using Nebula which was almost 1800 on Quarant and 1165/2686 Smartbench 2010. I've seen others get higher using other ROMS out there but for me it never felt as smooth/fast and responsive as Nebula ROM.
[Epic 4G General] nmoreman:
I too was scared and decided to go with the one that answers the most questions in a positive manner, in English (meaning I can understand, not literally) and have had great success with Midnight and TrulyEpic Rebirth.

These are smooth, stable, quick, great battery, allow you to add on the things

you want or miss, with links to add-ons, as well as you can theme them (that was my next big step).

So if you are on cw3, be sure to make a backup, you can flash back to that, then feel free to try them, see if you like layout and use. You can always go back if you make a backup then restore. Otherwise if you don't, its back to step 1.

Also, do you read Android Central - there is a lot of good info over there, a lot is in less techie terms (meaning English) with easy to understand directions.

Everyone starts somewhere, its building a comfort with someone to help just in case;)

I'm currently on Viper Rom (4.0.3 I think) with the Nexus S boot animation and a the DK28 Gingerbread Theme.

I've tried Supernova, Bonsai and stock DK28. I've found them all to be just as "stable" as 2.1. It's looking like I'll be trying Nebula next, given the support here. Great thing is, it takes about 10 minutes to switch between them if you want to try something different.

Lots of good devs, lots of good ROMs. Try them all.

I'll give a vote for my rom. Its a simple dk28 based rom. I just stripped a bunch of garbage from it, added a couple apps (that will probably eventually go away), added my aosp dvm, and changed from tw to a lighter launcher zeam.

Its not themed as themes can be heavy and slow, and introduce bugs. Try it. I can promise you it runs as fast if not faster than any of the main ones out there.
