do u know that wifi signal on phone is lower than netbook/notebook/pc???

Dude do u have android development kit (sdk) installed in ur pc?if u hv go to the dir in cmd prompt n cd to the tools folder..frm there type adb reboot download...it worked for ne since the 1st day i gt d phne

my bad, wasn't aware of the sdk, i've manage to workout the fix for the recovery already
anyway, wanna ask how you guys manage the battery level of this phone? from day 1 i get my phone, i seems need to charge it almost every 24 hours, usage consist of calls(not so much), sms (average) , wifi(a lil bit)
is there any apps can make battery life slightly longer?

I think this is quite normal, i also charging everyday

If u wanna go for high-end phone, u have to know the battery life can be sucks b4 buying it.

hahaha... scroll text downward to read the wording that directly beneath the printing... or tilt the phone and squeeze my eye to glimpse at the hidden text

ok.. i will try to look for sgp protector .. thx ~

Hai.
Just curios why some of u guys having a short battery life. Mine can last a day or more, with heavy gaming & wifiing. All i do u not using the live wallpaper, and use black wallpaper. Also, disable the 3g connection.

Samsung galaxy s or galaxy beam ( World's first Android projector phone )

which phones are better?
Singapore on sale galaxy beam now..
dont know which one Im should buy..

wow.. the Galaxy Beam look nice.. With projector, 8mp with flash.. damn technologies are very fast.. downside is 3.7inch screen, and 720mhz processor..

hmm, just checked my phone with viva casing ... doesnt seems to have any scratches on the chrome part, just checked it under yellow lights .. i will check again later .. lazy to get up

err ... i guess u dont know much on hardwares ... ur netbook or notebook manage to get at least a bar of signal is becoz the hardware which is the WiFi card is 50x times bigger than SGS's, in fact every phone in this world, there is no phone that can receive higher signal than a note/netbook yet ...

yea am using the SGP ultra oleophobic sp ... damn nice ..

says who? ...
battery status update,
Current Status (as of this post): 25%
2days 11hrs 48mins 53secs since unplugged ..
Usage: alot ALOT of texting, at least 2hrs of wifi ... screen brightness just slightly above 0% ... using the water + building wallpaper ...

as mentioned b4, u gotta charge a few cycles b4 commenting on the battery .. but of course, all this varies on different phone and different settings ...

galaxy beam is nice ... held the phone b4 when i was in SG ... that time i was also choosing between SGS and SGBeam ...
and violla! ended up with SGS and very happy with it ... if u r a person that do videos alot, beam is a good choice, can project ur vids or maybe pics anywhere as along as that is a solid surface ... i am a lazy type of person that doesnt prefer to take pics nor videos, so i chosed SGS ...

hey guys seeing the htc desire hd start up so fast why cant the galaxy s do it? doesnt it have a 45nm cpu also and 1ghz? or because dont have the android 2.2? can some one explain?

question, from the video you see, does the phone is already being used? have many apps on it? or it just a demo video with stock apps?

and you can make sgs fast boot, remove the boot animation ( something about playlogos, search it), use touchwiz as home, remove all the eidget from home screen

What do you mean by 'start up so fast'? Bootup time?

I dunno how quick the Desire HD boots, but my SGS is pretty quick, I think. Way better than shit slow Blackberry (my previous phone, Curve 8900).

Depends on how many start up services your phone runs...

By the way, how often do we actually shut off our phone? lol

Just joined the Galaxy S club few days ago. Got myself a Singapore Singtel set, brand new sealed set. My impressions , not good so far. Only the screen/display is fantastic.

I tend to compare it with my Nexus ( Froyo) /HTC HD2 on Froyo. Scrolling super smooth, installing apps and loading up apps is almost instant. The Galaxy S is terribly laggy and scrolling is not so smooth. I can bear with the scrolling but the installation of apps, access files using say Astro File Manager is terribly slow. All these are instant on the Nexus/HD2 w Froyo

Multitasking is poor ; while installing and same time I download other apps from market unit will freeze short few seconds - quite irritating

Even the HD2 Froyo browser beats the Galaxy browser - no point compare with Nexus which is way ahead. The Galaxy browser is poor - i replace it with Opera which is better, now comparable to the Nexus

My unit came with the 3 buttons unable to boot into recovery. Since yesterday I have root it and is now running Froyo I9000XXJP2 . The performance has improved compared with original stock rom but still loses out to the Nexus and HD2 on Froyo

I noted the battery on the Galaxy is hotter, ranging 32 to 42 routine usage vs 28 to 38 on nexus while the HD2 Froyo ranges 26 to 38

I read the Galaxy S is a better performer on games but I cannot verify this as I dont play any games

Despite these once programs loaded it perform well , only the loading part is obviously slower than the Nexus and HD2 on Froyo

Bootup time is very much faster on the Galaxy S vs Nexus/HD2 , at least by 10 seconds

Lastly, the GPS is in a word " sucks" ; pickup is weak. Pickup on Nexus/HD2 is within 5-8 secs , while the Galaxy takes at least 10 - 15 secs

ok i've been doing testing today...and i have a real problem. the moment i activate GPS (Papago X5) and i EXIT the application.. thereafter my galaxy will NOT sleep.

here's what happened
1. used papago x5.. reach destination
2. exit papago x5 (using the EXIT button in the application)
3. went lepak, makan, notice battery weak, thought it was the GPS usage
4. charge the phone up to 95%, go home
5. journey home took an hour, battery drop to 81% (NO USAGE)
6. enter battery info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and notice Since last unplugged, Running (100%) 1hr 2m 55s, go to Settings -> About -> Battery Use > 1h 3m 12s since unplugged..

means since the moment i unplugged the phone till i got home, it never SLEPT.

nothing else was used, no games, no apps, NOTHING. my phone has OCLF installed, and its rooted. help. can anybody replicate this problem?

Yea the stock firmware suffers badly from Lags and GPS problem

Try to get a new firmware and go XDA find the instruction to flash voodoo lagFix.

Then you'll find yourself a phone that open apps speed on par as iOS

err ... i would like to point out that u kept on using the word Froyo in ur post ... do take note, froyo for galaxy s are all still in beta stages ...
u r like comparing a top EPL football team to a team that just got into the EPL from division one ...
i dont know much and would like to stay neutral on this as i dont own the phones u mentioned ... and really hoping for the official froyo to come out asap ...
btw, gps on my sgs is super fast ... i feel its fast coz i compared it with garmin mobile xt on n82 ... didnt count how fast though ...

With Froyo installed on it, the scrolling and laggy has improved but still loses out to Nexus/HD2 Froyo. WYou need to be a user of these phones to really see the difference.
