For data, as long as the paths are ok, it should not be any problem. But i do not know about the installed apps (with app2sd) as i have never tried it (but i m guessing it would be ok as well). You can easily download locations from within the app itself.

Looking at this SGS2 review http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-galaxy-s2-en.shtml

Just before half way down the page you can see some comparison shots between sgs2 and sgs screens.

Is it just me, or does the "Plus" sgs2 screen seem more grainy than the original sgs screen? Horizontal lines seem much more visible aswell.

Do you think this is just a product of the photography, and not a reflection of real appearance? Or is this the result of decreased pixel density, or space between pixels on the larger screen? Or is this a disadvantage of the traditional RGB layout?

Just wanted to get some other thoughts on the matter. I suspect that I the photos may not tell the full story, I definitely would like to see the screens in person ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Naeem786:
better color depth
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Yeah I think it's an artifact of the photography.

Look at the first ones with the leaves, the SGS has some vertical artifacts going on and the SGS2 doesn't.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlexForTomorrow:
meh...

I still believe that the Galaxy s II it's not worth my attention right now.

My galaxy s can do all i need, the screen is super awesome (one of my friends with a desire hd was completely astounded by the awesome colors and contrast) and the battery is somewhat good for a 4" samoled screen (thanks darky :D).

the point is: why the hell should I sell my beautiful SGS, then buy for around 500€ an SGS II? I'l wait for better devices later.

My SGS will last at least 2 year more! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
Indeed the better screen would be nice but I'm not sure the other hardware improvements will really bring much improvement at this time.

My plan has always been to use the SGS for 1.5-2 years. Perhaps by that time we'll have RGB SAMOLED screens with higher resolution, batter battery life, better software (including the OS and apps making use of dual core and faster GPUs), etc..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlexForTomorrow:
that's exactly what I meant.

the sgs is awesome, and I don't feel the need to change device every 6 months :D

it's definitely better to just wait for when the technology will be better, dual core (or quadcore maybe?) processors will be fully optimized, screens will have less battery consumptio, there will be fast-charge batteries, android will be even more awesome and customizable, etc..

I suppose that in a mere 2 years this might be the tech scenario around smartphones :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Wish I could stay with my sgs, but the pentile screen is driving me nuts. Don't know how you guys can stand it. Ice cream can't be that far away.. :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marcodoncarlos:
i hope the sgs 3 become a tegra 2 chip because sony will implemented ps2 games in their platform and mobile phones with tegra 2 can play too with the playstation app. my sgs will belong to me for 1,5 years after that i will see.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
Damn, this russian guy has a galaxy s II. So if he know how it works he'll may be able to get to the internal apps like the hubs and the touchwiz. But I dont know for sure, if he really needs root permissions to access the system-binary :)

But there also was a russian guy, who rooted the galaxy s @ first :D

Lets hope for these russian guys. Maybe we'll get these nice applications also for our good "old" galaxy S ;D

Well, and one thing I also have to say is that I will keep my sgs as long as possible :)

In the dark future, when there wont be any official upgrades for android by samsung there will be always a source of hope :)

These guys from cyanogen mod are awesome and maybe we will also get the icecream update and MHL feature to use a usb2hdmi cable :) lets hope for the best guys :)

I am amazed that my Samsung i8700 Omnia 7 running Win 7 does not appear to allow hands-free auto-answering when using the wired headset. As a motorcyclist, this facility is essential. This seems a major omission as it was in Win 6.5.

Is there an app or hack that will enable this? Does anyone know if it is part of long awaited upgrade?

hi guys

new owner of this device here,

I just noticed: when I am looking at the top bar (bar of notification) I can se tiny rows flashing, when I concentrate on the main screen there are the flashing blinking tiny rows, something like refresh rate is bad or so,

dunno if you do have it as well, also when I have a web page with black background and white letters, letters are making shadows all the way through them to the edge of the screens

is this HW or SW so I can enhance it somehow?

- and yes I do have base ROM, Droid 2.2 froyo, just from the shop

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amokbunny:
Hi!

After searching the forums for a while I did not find a thread exactly matching my problem, so if I've overseen it, please just point me there.

To my problem:

I did a very stupid mistake, flashing a new custom ROM with a different kernel (as usual, cooked in Docs Kitchen) without converting back the lagfix. So I ended up with a non-booting phone - so far, so bad. Note to myself: Never flash a phone during the carnival weekend again.

So I booted into download mode and tried to recover it via Odin, but here I got my really bad surprise: USB device is not recognized, thus I Odin does not see the phone.

I tried 4 different PCs with Win7 or XP, a Linux desktop and a Macbook. I also tried 5 different USB cables (they all work with other smartphones like the Desire and the HD2). Wherever I stick the phone in, it is not recognized (code 10/code 43 in Win7). I used the stand-alone-drivers from the sticky forum thread here, and also most recent Kies versions, always the same: USB device not recognized.

Does anybody have an idea how to revive the USB connectivity? I'm almost at the point to send it in for repairs...

Or can someone elaborate how I could have killed USB with corrupting the ROM? I've to admit I do not really understand how these two are connected.

--Jens
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduckking:
Hi Amokbunny

You get into download mode but the PC won't recognize the phone?

That's messy and I can think of nothing that could have done that. you did not change the bootloader did you (flashed a full samsung ROM containing a bootloader, for example VJ1)?

If not I guess it's a hardware issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eralx:
formatted to ext4 without any backup

I did a very stupid mistake too. Got darky's rom 9.3., installed i, everything worked great(really awesome thing), then i wnt to recovry mode and entered tthe speedmod and it showed mr that my phone has rtf files system not EXT4 as it should be, thou i installed the speed mode. then i chose to repartition it to ext4 but i didn't choose the backup. Just clicked to format the sd. It did formatted to EXT4, rebooted, i saw the darky's rom logo and the the phone vibrated and the logog of the droid just flashed. I tried to enter recovery mode-didn't load. Started the download mode connexted to pc used ODIN 1.7 with PDA I9000XXJPY.tar, MODEM I9000XXJPY.tar, GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY-LITE.tar s1_odin_20100512.pit.

The phone has started, appeared teh stok galaxy s logo and it's just flashing. Help needed. Don,t know what to do know. I have galayx s i9000 european version.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eralx:
Got it all running, installed Darky's rom 9.3. Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amokbunny:
Yep, I can boot into download and recovery modes, but that's it.

The only apparent change in the new custom ROM was the kernel.

I also cannot really access my external SD card (it shows me some phantom files, but not the actual content of the SD), otherwise I'd try to recover it this way.

I agree with the hardware issue, if it wouldn't have coincided with the flash procedure...anyway, I think I'll send it in for repairs if I don't get it to run on this sunday.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admissus:
I have the exact same problem, except that I can access my external SD. I got the problem after upgrading to Darkys Rom 9.3 the usual way, but switched from Speedmod to Voodoo. After that update, my USB didn't work anymore.

I can't get neither Xp or Win 7 to recognize my phone. USB device not recognized, and tried all the tricks. Reinstalling Kies and drivers, switching between the different modes (storage, kies media, ask, debug...) But still no USB connection.

I updated to darkys 9.5 (transferring the rom using bluetooth, and updating using CWM), but still it doesn't work.

Can get it into download mode, but still can't connect using USB and Odin.

HELP!

Did anybody ever find a solution for this?

ended with device not recognized even in download mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicw:
But if you are in download mode on your fone you'd rather should have a look at your configuration on the computer. Because the fone still can be flashed if the symbol for download still appears.

- Kies is shut down while ODIN is active?

- latest Samsung USB driver installed?

- Odin started with Admin?

Btw. did you try to get into recovery mode? Maybe this also still is working as the partition is quite small and chance high that it was flashed w/o faults. So you may be able to flash a zipped ROM rather than a tarball for Odin.

USB Not working when Phone plugged in... try these..

Unplug Device from PC..

Windows go to Device Manager...

Scroll down to Universal serial bus Controllers

Start with the top one and work your way down ..uninstall them all..

When done reboot Computer and let it install them all.. then try again

2.Settings --> USB Setings (under wireless & network may differ depending on Rom used) --> Try other settings Mass storage

3.Different USB ports on PC

4.Uninstall KIES from PC (reboot PC to take effect) and Reboot and just install samsung USB drivers....

5.Using windows type in msconfig in Start>Run box... windows will pop up and untick KIES from STARTUP TAB

Apply to take effect and restart machine.. try using ODIN to Flash ROM

I myself only use the Samsung USB drivers and ODIN never use KIES :)

or ...Check my signature and try SD formatter
