Try out the Realook... it's got some pretty good review and it's manufactured in Japan... Amazon got 10% discount promo code

Edit: And it does come with camera lens protector
*
the question is does it cover the back camera? the 5mp camera ...

looking at the website, it doesnt seems to have it ..

Got new firmware released @ september......

I9000XXJPH ##  803.PIT  Version 2.2  2010 September
Do you guys think that if the new firmware would boost the wifi signal on the phone??
The current signal strenght seems very low...
at most places i cant receive any signal but a netbook can receive at least 1 bar of signal...
Im not sure if theres software or firmware to fix this cause Laptop wifi can boost it signal strenght by updating to the latest driver  rolleyes.gif
*
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 ...

QUOTE(llk @ Sep 18 2010, 06:21 PM)
Wow then how to use it since there are some printing on the sp originally from package? Anyway there are so many positive comments about the SGP brand, should be the good one.

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

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

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 ...

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..
*
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 ...

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
*
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 ...

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?
*
have u tried to reboot ur phone? ... any task running? check in the task manager ...

i read some one xda mentioning that papago x5 is the cause for the phone not getting into sleep mode, but thats for moto driod x ...

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.
*
but as mentioned, the froyo that r currently released for sgs are all still in BETA stages, not official firmware yet ... furthermore, u r not using the latest beta fw...
due to that, i think the phone will perform on par or maybe even better than the phones u mentioned ... anyway, try install the voodoo lagfix or if u wan fast One Click Lag Fix ...

Thanks for the tip on the voodo lagfix - will try it. Even though the Froyo is beta , it is still better than the stock firmware and will keep it

iirc, voodoo lagfix is not compatible with froyo ... but i might be wrong so better check b4 installing it, since ur phone recovery mode is disabled ... [confirmed by jujx]

all of us anxiously waiting for the official frozen yogurt to be released !! ... argh!!

Yup, I received mine on 9th september. Using now already. I bought from the original Sgp via ebay USA.

I guess that is the risk for buying from outside shop, they can take out some stuff?

Opened the package myself, doesn't seem it haas been opened b4. Sighs maybe bad luck.

i removed OCLF (kept root though) and installed voodoo beta4
in benchmark..OCLF hit 2.2k.. voodoo hit 1.7k only

but in actual use, no difference.. both smooth.. voodoo also has the color fix..


Added on September 19, 2010, 12:49 am

im wondering did we get a lemon? if yes we should get it warranty replaced. can some bro/sis help replicate this problem???

did you use OCLF? i am suspecting OCLF might be the cause. now i just installed voodoo beta4 and will try to replicate
*
Nope, I am using oclf, doesn't seems to be the reason. Used x5 few days back and my phone is just doing fine. Just started charging, system says it was unplugged for 2days and almost 16hrs.

I have been successfully flashing few roms until the last one was XXJP2. This morning I flash to Eclair WXJM8 and also tried XXJP3 Froyo. Decided  that Eclair WXJM8 was better with the voodoo lag fix, I flash back to WXJM8 but my phone hang with the yellow download logo , no response.

I tried to use the 3 buttons , unable to go to download or recovery mode

What I have is now a black screen showing phone disconnected with PC .

Any advsie is appreciated

The phone now cannot be detected by the PC ; have tried using Odin - no response

bro.. after i set to auto-brightness and use voodoo lagfix beta4.. i no longer have the Running (100%) problem..but i have the sensor being used by Papago problem like you have described.. i think the culprit is papago!
*
Not just papago but also gmap brut. I guess it is related to the gps, just now I checked *#*#4636*#*#, went into battery history, top dropdown select sensor, 2nd dropdown select total time, my gmap brut was on for 16days+ and papago for 7days+. Omg, bug!! Either a gps or sensor bug, lucky I have the habit of manual putting my phone into sleep mode, else my battery will finish fast like u all.
To those who used any gps b4, plz check to confirm.

Didn't want to reboot my phone coz I don't wan to lose the ram manager from the samsung task manager. Hope there is a fix for this and the ram manager.

bro how to manually put it into sleep mode? also hows your battery life?
i removed papago, and i realized DOODLE JUMP also face same problem.. i exit it already but the battery history still show doodle jump using the sensor!

i think the other guys should go in *#*#4636*#*# -> battery history -> select sensor from top dropdown and see what is using sensors... i think we've discovered a bug..
*
once i done using my phone, i will just tap onto the power btn ... battery doing good, best usage till now is 2dys 17hrs (i think) ... now is 62%, 1day 9hrs+ ...

QUOTE(jangyelo @ Sep 20 2010, 07:25 AM)
zzzzz i tried the code and still no battery history. You guys put the wrong one.
The actual code is  *#*#4636#*#*

Looks like your right, there could be a bug cause it shows that the sensor was active for 5 hours on my phone for a game even though I only played it for around 10-15 minutes.

Doesn't seem to be apps related to gps only. Games using the accelerometer are affected as well. Till a fix comes the only thing to do is reboot the phone I guess...
