[Q] Galaxy Phones

So I am looking to buy an used Samsung Galaxy S. My question is how will I know for sure that I am getting the Galaxy S (i9000) and not the Galaxy S Vibrant or Captivate etc? The reason I ask is because from the research I have done the Vibrant is rated to have approximately 6 hours of talk time while the i9000 has about 13 hours. Can anyone verify that the variations of the Galaxy S do have differences such as the talk times or are the websites I visited wrong? Are the extra buttons better to have on some of the variations?
I figured this would be the place to ask since it involves all the variations of the S (excluding S 4G).
tl/dr - Find Galaxy S number such as i9000 (I have tried Google and called my mother); Is battery life different between variations?; Are the extra buttons better to have on some of the variations?
Thanks for your time.
it will say i9000 inside the battery compartment box with the IMEI and S/N number
Thank you. Do you have any opinions on the other 2 questions?
Also when you boot up the device it will say galaxy S i9000
I think the two posters answer your question..
samsung have made up a very good device. i just love their tabs..............!!!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

No Seperation between Wifi and 3G units?

so i plan on getting my gf the samsung galaxy tab 2 7" model
but there is 5 pages of post here, and looks like there is a mix of just wifi units and wifi/3g units so why is there no thread separation, like you get in alot of other sections, hell even some sections have separation of carrier if the radios for the carries are different
it just a little hard to get through all of them, especially when i'm just looking for the wifi models and then i look at a something someone made and its not for the model i'm getting for her
is there any plans on making a separation for the wifi only and the wifi/3g units or no?
I agree, I think they should be separated also. Although the 3113 CAN use 3100 roms, and I believe there are other variations of compatibility. It can still be cumbersome scrolling through incompatible roms.

Doubt any plans to separate. One request for you tho, please don't post question threads in the dev forum. Post question threads in the questions forum. Thx.

Call me old fashioned but I tend to use the forum search engine for navigation and simple question finding. If you had done that , then you would work out that most ROMS are getting merged.Such as 3110/3113 are exactly the same thing and devs are making builds universal now ( see CM10 for an example) In fact you can use any 31xx on any 31xx device (But don't expect a Phone ROM to work on a Wifi only ROM as its hardware not software that makes it ring)
Its ironic that you post about too many threads in the development forum , then post in it asking a question lol. To be honest we are hardly flush with ROMs to choose from in this forum ( No disrespect to any dev intended, just stating a fact)
You are old fashioned

Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

See rule #15
Thread moved.
yes i am aware this should of been posted in the Q&A section and slap my hands for it
but i felt after 5 pages of threads some house keeping should of went in place and some sort of separation should of went in
but i also know this kind of question gets ignored in the Q&A section till everyone starts complaining about it
and by that point the house keeping for it gets, well undesirable to be fixed
beyond this time i have behaved and put my questions in the Q&A section unless it was part of the original thread it was in
yes i did use the search engine and that is how i found my first few relevant post, but after the first few that is when i go to the begin of the tree
and then see if there is separation so i'm not going through each search result of not need to look at info
and with what you stating with cross compatible roms, that just means you would have a section for none cross for each in general and the section for cross compatible roms as you point out that its the hardware series in general that makes it possible
but now the major question remains on when or if i will be able to get ahold of one, as most of the places i turn to for my electronics are out of stock of the units, but time will tell

[Q] Need rec for QWERTY phone

Hi all,
I need to get back to a QWERTY phone, but not sure which one to buy and from where.
The criteria are:
- Android (don't care about the version)
- swappable battery (or eventually user replaceable with a bit of effort like say iphone 4s)
- decent screen size
- 4g support (going to be used in the UK).
In terms of where I can buy it, the options are Hong Kong, India, and of course the UK.
I've read quite a few of the threads, but models either need hardware mods (Photon Q), are USA only (Samsung Stratosphere), or don't support 4G (Galaxy relay). I'm sure someone out there who knows their phones has worked this out, but if not, any pointers/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Raj

Tab S2 VS Nexus 9

Hey everyone, for the past couple of days I've been searching around and comparing these two tablets to find out their differences due to the fact that I've been offered a tab s2 in exchange for my nexus 9; I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to exchange them or not as both have their advantages and flaws with nexus 9 processor being significantly better. So I'd like to hear from the experts and variety of opinions in whether I should make this decision or not.
Thanks,
For information I used the nexus 9 for pretty much everything from videos to gaming and of course for reading pdfs and other documents etc. My only problem with it is the lack of space as I bought 16gb version.
As for tab s2, it's benchmark is awful with the nexus 9 having a significant lead but I'm loving the larger display, more storage and better screen. So I'm not sure if I should or not someone please shed me some light Dx
I have been always a nexus owner, owning the previous nexus 7, it's my first time switching to samsung and I don't know much about it.
Thanks again, and sorry if it's too long.

Which phone to upgrade to...

Due an upgrade now. Currently have the one M8.
I am mixed between the LG G5 or S7 Edge.
I've not had an LG in decades and I've not been overly fond of the Samsung rand as I dont or didn't like the menu button lol. I also root my phones and I know Samsung have had issues with bootloops.
I know there are both similar in spec for most.
Which phones do the pubic recommend, Doesn't have to be the ones I've chosen so far?
