Don't try with contacts .  Try to access by pressing the "call" button and then press "logs" or "favourites " and see if it lags.

Hi, since we are at this topic (for a short while, okay?...since this is a SGS thread) and you are an ex-iphone user, may I ask you a question...this is a question that has always cropped up in my mind but i don't understand...

How do iPhone users live with a phone that cannot connect to a PC via USB port? It just puzzles me...

Don't they miss the convenience of simply plugging in to a PC and transfer photos, videos, large drawings or documents wherever they are...in office PC, go to a friends home and use their PC, visit a friends office and transfer file to their PC........and let's say you have a DSLR camera, after taking some nice photos, you can easily copy to your phone using USB cable....

Is iTunes really that good and fast to transfer files....and can you do it everywhere or only PC that has iTunes installed?

guys...sorry if this question has been asked many times before...long time no enter here already

is the official gingerbread update for malaysia out already? my friend told me no, so just to confirm

Don't get me wrong.  SGS is Good phone but I think there is a lot of problem with this phone that stop it from being a great phone.  If I would to recommend a phone for my friend, I won't recommend the SGS as its not that good out from the box and many user just won't or don't know how to flash to custom firmware.  I personally love to play around with the software so I am ok with the SGS.  But most people don,t really care about customising the phone. Ip4 is selling so well (no.2 selling phone in the world now) because it's simple and straight forward and not because it offer lot of customisation.  Most people just want a simple and user friendly phone and not forgetting stable phone and ip4 has all that.

until now i still cant get it why so many people like iphone4 even there are a few serious problem with that phone? for me 3gs is good.

how about the camera and videos in cm7? in miui, i always got fc when changing to higher resolution when taking pics, and the videos 720p is still not good as stock samsung one.

does CM7 theme universal? means that theme from other phone cm7 can be use with our phone?

How do i make autokiller to auto kill the apps like ATK does?

yeah I actually noticed that when I'm on CM7. no need to lock-unlock to enable data. but I need codec support from Samsung.
1) yes, it's true. CM7 doesn't lag at all. I know this very well. but codec support is what makes me jump back to Samsung rom. I want to be able to brag to my friends that I don't need to convert any of my videos to be played in my phone.
2) as I thought, there are still lags in MIUI.

now waiting for full TW4 icons on Goatrip JVH. that's what this rom lacks. everything else just AWESOME!

arggg all ready blur how to custom my fon any body can share the step more simple way??can pm me how to do it???my galaxy s stil stock i badly wan to custom it plsss

After using the SGS for a week, here is my little review of the Samsung Galaxy S

The main problem with this phone is the firmware.  With the stock firmware that  came with the phone from samsung, most people will hate this phone eventually. I try the stock firmware by installing a live wallpaper and put a couple of widgets on the screen and that is enough to make me wanna flash custom firmware immediately.  With just a few widgets and live wallpaper, the phone start too lag and quite badly too. How could the stock firmware be so laggy even with a 1gz cpu?

But flashing the phone to custom firmware did solve part of the lagging issues.  I am on Darky's Extreme v9.5 and its extremely smooth but still lag in certain places. Things are really smooth on the home screen but the icons scrolling in the app drawer is not as smooth.  I have use use the iphone 4 a lot and I can say the iphone is a damn smooth phone.  The other area I notice lagging and quite badly is the call logs and the call favorites.  Is this a problem with is particular firmware andcan this be solve is not sure.  But that somehow shows that this is not a very smooth phone.

I have read  a lot about other custom rom and all seems to have a fair share of bugs.  So there is really no rom that can make the SGS works like it should be. 

The next thing i wanna talk about is the screen.  I heard a lot about how great is the Super Amoled screen on the SGS but my feeling is somehow mixed on this one.  The super amoled is indeed a colorful screen and its really sharp. The black is really beautiful too and i love the 4 " size which is not too big and not too small. But somehow the color is too oversaturated and inaccurate. My wife was asking why is the screen color look so fake!  I was comparing the same web page with my friends iphone 4 side-by-side and the iphone 4 screen is brighter with the background white that looks white, while the same background on the SGS is blueish instead of white. I was applying a screen protector yesterday under a bright table lamp and I can see the SGS glass is actually blue color.  This really affect the color of the picture as it looks very un-natural.

The other thing I notice is that the gps is broken.  Sometimes I can get a lock on the gps stations, but sometimes it just won't work. Considering that I bought this phone 9 months after its official release, how come samsung continue to produce this phone with a broken gps that is not fixed?

Battery life is quite good as I can use the phone for the whole day till i need to recharge before I go to bed with moderate usesage.

The other thing I find lacking is the Android Market. I am starting to miss the Apple's App Store. The apple store have both quantity and quality software to suits  almost anybody, but the same cannot be said about the Android Market.  Its just no comparison. 

Anyway, the above is just my views regarding the SGS after 1 week.  Hope there is a better firmware coming up.

Some people might hate the iPhone 4, but the sales is telling a different story.

Scrolling through the call logs has always lagged for me since Eclair days, no different in latest Gingerbread JVH stock rom. It doesn't lag in CM7 rom for me, but then again, I had lost all my entries when I moved to CM7, currently only 10 entries, so no jerkiness or lagginess yet.

simple as if they dont jailbreak
3gs cant coupe up with latest ios??
i tot they can connect to pc via usb? just that they need itunes on that pc?

some of the issues can be fixed completely / partially.
- custom rom eliminates most lag. but cm7 doesn't lag.
- can refer first page to handle the GPS.
- can't do much about the screen, unless voodoo kernel can do something about it.
- for android market, as android popularity grows, developers will have to build apps for it or risks being left behind.

it doesn't matter if apple is the most valuable company and android has the most install base in the world. i buy a device that suit my needs.
I'm on cm7 with 560 contacts and 20 plus call log. no lag and jerkiness at all. unlike Samsung firmwares.
they can connect with USB. they need a special proprietary cable for that. i dislike itunes. it's too restrictive for me. it only allow one iPod to be synced to one computer at a time. when changing computer, it'll delete all songs inside the iPod. don't know if it is the same with iphone. i hear other problems with itunes but didn't experience them myself.
