Thanks. Those are something I don't come across reading reviews. Very useful. Aside from lagging, does it crash a lot? I've even seen reviews where it shows the SGS crash. lol.

Lagging seems to be the main con here, from your opinion, how bad is the lag? Once the program load, does it lag in program too?

it not really lag inside the program/apps..
the most annoying thing is when u click/access the apps,it will hang for 1-2 seconds to go in..but of course not all apps also like that

i dont have any crash on my SGS(i mean apps)
i have over 100 apps and all work fine for me...

No GPS problem for me though.
My only complain is the laggy issue, though now is solved with Voodoo magic, but sometimes still it bugs me once a while. I guess this is SD card limitations compare to EEPROM.
However I can install tons of apps, tv out to play PS games, great screen display, superb customization options..
So far happy with it...

Seriously? I never trusted internal GPS that comes with phones and what not.

You using Garmin for the HTC Touch Diamond, right?

If you do, have you tried setting the GPS location to "on GPS location" (somewhere along the line), instead of "on road"?

im on JPK....hmmm so its ODIN then

I'm not very sure which settings you're referring to.

I still had the Holux bluetooth GPS mouse when I have Diamond. On the same diamond, I compared its internal GPS receiver and Holux external receiver. The internal receiver wins.

Oh yes, I had N82 GPS experience. It is terrible too. At the same time in the same car, Diamond started navigation in less than 30 seconds while the N82 took 5 minutes to find its location. By time the N82 starts navigating, I already manage to send my friend to his doorstep.

Since all the devices I had, have somewhat good GPS accuracy. SGS is incomparable.

hi,

i tried to register my maybank debit card, but it said"please contact your card provider".. any other ways??

Oh thanks, that sounds okay to me. (100 apps, nice!) I think I'll go ahead and if the lag develops oni I'll find a lag fix.

Wah, that's scary! Telepathy keyboard.

Today I had a problem with the stock internet browser. It was just unresponsive. After I typed in the web address and hit "Go", the address bar will just turn blank, instead of usually displaying the progress bar. My wifi wasn't a problem because I can view webpages on the Opera Mini. Even after clearing cache and cookies on the stock browser, it's still dead. Only after I reboot the phone, then it started working again (luckily).

Anyone experienced this before? Any idea what's causing it and how to prevent it? I prefer the stock browser actually seems to load faster than the Opera Mini.

Thanks!

yeah i heard about blindtype yesterday from engadget.com .looking forward for it

hi all.
just got my SGS.

want to ask. it is possible to reduce the size of the sms text font?
thanks

Install chompsms. :-)

blindtype actually has been revealed since last one or two months, iirc

but only recently the team developing blindtype is being hired by Google

maybe it will be the default keyboard for Android 3.0?

It's quite similar to Swype, except without any swiping at all. Probably use approximation of the keyboard layout to determines the words you gonna type out.

Soon we gonna see a lot of smartphone users sending SMS while driving...

Added on October 4, 2010, 1:24 amFrankly speaking... crashes. I had a few experience with it.

Yahoo! Mail & Yahoo! Messenger. These 2 f***ing apps. Dunno why it ran so slow on my phone. So ended up I uninstalled them. Screw them. So slow until the level that the OS prompted me to whether kill them off or not.

There are some other minor apps that hog the resources (don't have Task Manager like Windows to check if the CPU util reach 100% though) until the phone not responding. But the phone did a restart (without shutdown/bootup logo/video) on its own.

In term of stability. It's quite commendable as I would say. But once a while if you step on mines (lousy/buggy programs), you might encounter slow/lag/hang. But if you wait long enough without resorting to pulling out the battery, the OS will survive. I've yet to pull out my battery due to hanging so far. Cause I don't like taking out the battery. The back cover looks so fragile and loose easily. Pulling the plug gonna be last resort.

And aside from that, for this phone (not sure if it applies to all Android phones), if you have running apps already and your phone shutdown itself due to low batt. The next boot up, those apps will be run in the background, auto-magically.

As for the lag, it could be lag in everywhere. Currently my most annoying lag is using the Swype keyboard. At times when it access the dictionary, it renders the keyboard useless. You can only punch the keys 1 by 1, instead of swiping, in order to avoid the program trying to access the dictionary and slow the system down. It happens quite often if I switch IME from time to time. So I tried to stick with Swype as much as possible now. And when this problem occurs, certain buttons on the keyboard has been disabled. Even if I restart the phone, it won't help. Not sure if OCLF or Voodoo would fix this issue.

Will try OCLF as some said Voodoo sucks battery. Seeing that my battery already damn suck, I might have to go with the less strain on battery option.

so far.. I'm not having lagging..
i'm not using any task killer..

as far as I know, the better for keep fast on launching apps is just let the apps keep running. so that it will be fast when reload back..

and usually, I'll close them using stock task manager by clearing memory ram level 1..

Thanks for the recommendation mate. Love it!

I've always hated the huge ass fonts on the original SMS program.

Added on October 4, 2010, 1:29 amIf I do that, my "desktop icons" all gone missing. Then after a while, they'll only be shown.

It's like killing the windows explorer, then run them again from Task manager.

Does this happen to yours?

Anyone who thinks Voodoo lag fix drains battery, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786509

So far some user says they experience better battery after using this.

here's the copy paste from the first post on the difference between this and the original Voodoo:
--------------------------------
I've made a new update.zip

This is 98% identical with the original Voodoo lagfix-only 3.0.

the only differences are

1. loading modules on booting.

2. using stock JM8 kernel
--------------------------------

currently, i uninstall original Voodoo beta 4 and install this + OCLF v01.
Time will tell if this is the better lag fix.

anyone running Froyo now ? I need some feedback...
