Downloading stuff from the Kitchen Pro app takes forever. Trying to download the ICS theme and it has been downloading for more than an hour. And still less than 50%. On N wifi+ unifi

What can we do?

For those like me waiting to get non G, let's pray sh*t doesn't happen
*
I have both the G and non-G in my house. They both perform identically. Both can be rooted with CWM. Both can play all the apps and videos. The G-version has crazy battery life. Consistently longer than my non-g.

All the hype and comparison is just blowing stuff out of proportions. Can anyone here honestly tell me that you can feel the difference between a few points difference in any of the benchmarking programs?

The PowerVR GPU was way ahead of it's time in the Galaxy S1. So now when they use it here people throw fits. It still has much better compatibility than the non-g's Mali400. It is like comparing Nvidia to ATI. ATI has better hardware but Nvidia has better drivers. But both are equal in real world performance.

Thanks for the insight.

1)Any noticeble speed/smoothness difference between both when in multi tasking like web browser with multiple  tabs(desktop version) + gaming and other apps in the background process? And that with many widgets on multiple homescreens

2) How about gaming with grahpically intensive games like shadowgun?

3) I hear there's lacking of custom roms for G?

Smoothness in TW is very good. Have not tried any other launchers on the G yet. As for gaming, I tried Trial X2 and Guerilla Bob and it was smooth as well. Widgets was no problem. As for surfing, have not done much on the G but the surfing experience should be the same as it is mostly dependent on CPU speed.

Multitasking should be theoretically be better on the G because it has more RAM available to the system. 910MB vs 840MB.

As for the Custom ROM's, once you get a launcher like SPB, you can basically ignore custom ROM's. So far there is only 1 custom ROM I think.

I think you're right, I don't think I'll experiment with custom roms. Probably stock rom+ ADW launcher or Go Launcher EX or something.

Well I guess most of us would want the best possible hardware right? Not many people might feel "good" about having something 'inferior' albeit just a small difference tongue.gif

About the warranty, non G set fails at warranty because AP warranty is just as good as no warranty lol.

Non G has better compatibility with games compared to Mali 400 eh? I read something similar where Samsung used a different chipset for this reason.

How long battery life do you get with the G set, let's say moderate usage?
*
You are right on about the hardware part. I am pretty sure everyone wants the peace of mind with ori warranty, instead of a handphone shop that can close within months.

Well, my brother uses the G and he gets about 4 hours screen on time across 2 days running on TouchWiz and Agile Lock with the Nexus live wallpaper. Auto brightness, data off, wifi on when required. SMSing a lot too.

go to GTALK settings and untick automatic login. then don't tap it unless you want it on and always sign out after that

Where can i find the settings? I tried looking under Manage Apps and I could not see any app called google talk or gtalk. Is it caused by the GMail app?

Custom ROM for the G-versions with CWM, deodexed, CRT off, and it supports the Vertumus ICS theme.

What more can a person ask for?....ohh wait, an actual ICS build smile.gif
