I found that even I've upgraded my firmware to froyo. My phone is still very laggy. I admire my friend's Iphone4. So smooth, be it scrolling or apps. After jailbreak....he can even download apps FOC. Gosh..have I bought a wrong phone? Help!!!!!!!!

I saw my friend's Iphone 4 has 326MB memory free when all apps being closed. And we have 512RAM in my phone and yet. I never had free memory more than 150MB. Why huh??
Besides, even if there is just about 40MB free RAM available in iphone4, the apps still running smooth. (if only 40MB RAM left in my phone??? Huh, it's going to be like a snail already) What lah, you google inc cheater!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! biggrin.gif
Woh, a major downgrade. OMAP 3630 and SLCD? Samsung out of hummingbird?
It's the android system itself. iPhone and SGS both have 512MB ram, but android uses more ram for internal drivers, so... we have less available ram. Wait for samsung to release new kernel drivers with more ram. Froyo had 304MB and Froyo 2.2.1 had 339MB. Chill, just make do with what we have. My phone multitasks and don't bog down also. iPhone don't multitask right, I just don't get it with my previous iPhone.

Multitask? I suppose iphone 4 did everything like SGS.
Can explain further about SGS?

I fear that since apple stole, I mean bought off intrisity (the company that design hummingbird and a4 chip), samsung had to look elsewhere to design its chip. They couldn't find one now. That's why they resort to omap. Now what will happen to orion?

Obviously, amoled production is reserved for the next galaxy s. New amoled factory still under construction kot wink.gif

About the ram rant, apple sacrifice functionality for a great user experience (except its notification system-ask him how annoying and intrusive it is). Iphone4 is alot less functional compared to galaxy s. That's why it uses less ram.

Galaxy s OTOH, can do alot of things, thus the ram is used. Alot of free ram is a waste anyway as I have explained before. Free ram = wasted ram. My netbook only uses 57MB ram although it has 512MB ram. Upgrading to 4GB ram won't make it smoother and faster! In android and windows 7, free ram is turned into cached. That's why you see less free ram is available. Cache helps to speed up your phone.

Many of us install optimized kernels and flash custom rom that totally unleash the power of galaxy s.

tl/dr Galaxy S is awesome, fast and can do alot of things iphone4 can't.
It still is even with tegra2 based phones coming wink.gif

Addon: For a pretty and simple phone, get iphone. For pretty and functional, get android. Haha, I love my galaxy s!

Great! Can sifus teach me how to show off back to my friends with iphone4?
What are the functional things that I can do with my SGS and not on Iphone 4?
My friend has Papago in his Iphone 4, what do I have?

IPhone 4 cannot do a true multitask....you can read more about the details online if you are interested.

Iphone is a simple phone for normal functions.

Iphone 4 has limitations:
1) Cannot support Flash
2) Cannot cannect thru USB
3) Cannot transfer files thru Bluetooth
4) Antennagate problem
5) Facetime (videocall) only via WIFI, cannot use with 3G.
6) Lower screen technology (although they call it Retina display). SGS has SuperAmoled!
7) No Live wallpapers, no widgets etc.

A lot of my friends who bought iphone DO NOT know these limitations. After buying it, they have to live with its limitations, but they do enjoy the simplicity and ease of use.

So, if you are looking for a simple phone, go for IPhone. If you are more technology savvy and wants a complex and great functional phone, get the SGS.

JUst my 2 cents...

No and Yes. Bluetooth can tranfer files. But only to the i-family product only
No. After jailbreak. Facetime can use 3G as well through 3rd party apps I think.
Retina display is good enough. No need always SuperAMOLED.
Livewallpaper....SGS has limited nice wallpapers. Those from Samsung is excellent. But from other source.....Duh!!!
I don't know. I just wanna put my SGS to the full potential so that when I show it to my friend, they are the one to think that they should get SGS. Not the other way round.....Do you understand me?
I choosed SGS because I really thought that it's a great phone.....But now, it doesn't seem to me to be like that.....Can anyone help me to change that perception?
