Videoplayback works completely fine for me.
Videcalls never were and probably never will be supported in Android.

About the Video playback, I haven't had any problems at all. Maybe try freeing up the Ram?
Video calls are not supported by Android, but if you want to try it out you can use Tango (iOS, Android) or Skype

i really want to buy this device....but i think they need to drop the price a little
but what i am really worried about is everyone is obsessed with the upcoming dual-core phones & i am afraid we wont get a community as good as for the htc desire
what do you think guys? will the desire S get a good community ?
(& also can you guys tell me if there is any restarting issue or wifi issue?)

I can't comment on the community (as I can't see the future), but as I've got the phone now I really hope that one forms!
I also share your community concern, but hope that not everyone is obsessed with these larger tablet sized phones. (DHD etc...)
I've not had a single restart and the I've had the phone for over a week.
But, the wifi drop problem is real, I don't use the phone in landscape myself so its not that bad, but, I've seen the wifi signal strength fall when I place the phone on my leg when connected to wifi. I only use wifi on the phone when in my house where the signal strength is very good, so the drop doesn't ever cause me to fall off network. (read the tech radar review conclusion).
Battery life is ok even with multiple widgets and email accounts syncing all day and fair internet usage. currently getting about 20hrs...from full charge.
Still a great phone.

since i use my wifi only in my house & is not a really big issue for me
any idea if sense will be updated on the s?
edit looks like its up to date but not from the first look
I got my Desire S yesterday for $400. It feels and runs smooth. It's a little small like a wildfire(I have an SGS i9000,Nexus One,Galaxy Spica i5700 and LG Optimus One). Good thing the N1 has almost the exact same screen so I used that as a screen guard. Battery isnt that great. My N1 and Galaxy S lasts for almost three days on normal to heavy use. Im happy with it.
where did you buy it from?
My friend got it for me in Singapore. I sold it. Screen too small and the camera wasn't that good. Got an LG Optimus Black now.

hello folks ?
what's going on ?
so im newbie in this forum although i have been reading it since 2 months ago cuze this is a nice forum and i've learnt a lot stuff thanx this forum.
Today Im leaving a new Thread cuze i have a problem with my motorola xt720.
I have no idea why the problem is happening . but for some strange reason my motorola is recording video in hd mode with a poor video quality.
this is the example :
youtube plus /obD6zNfl7r4 ( i wrote in this way cuze im newbie and i cant post links )
my phone is the version with 550mhz proccesor and i have a 8gb sd card class 2.
sometimes when im recording some video, android says me that it has a problem with read/writing my sd.
also another times i can record some video with nice quality.
i had thought that the problem could be the cam was damaged but always i can take nice pics with no problems....
im thinking to change my sd and get some sd 6+ class. but i need fix this problem.
so if somebody can help me , plz leave me to know..
Thanx for all and my regards form Barranquiilla, Colombia....
So long
Hola mijaelstand,
First off, what ROM are you using? Do you have the Motorola Stock 2.1 ROM or have you flashed to anything else?
If you can sometimes record with nice quality and other times will poor quality, this may be a memory issue or a background app problem. The processor on this phone seems to need every bit of power it can get out of the CPU to record high quality video. Android 2.2 usually does a decent job of memory allocation but it depends on your minfree settings. Also background apps (if not killed by minfree) can take cpu cycles.
So as a test you can manually force close the majority of running apps under Home Screen->Menu Button->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running TAB, kill things like adobe flash, facebook, maps, etc. And then try capturing a video to see if it helps the quality.
Next, if android says it has a problem with the sd card, it might be a good idea to replace it.
Lastly, I got a 404-Not found when I added the extension "/obD6zNfl7r4" to youtube[dot]com. So unfortunately, I couldn't see your video.

You have to add obD6zNfl7r4 after "/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\"
geez, it's getting late over here... thanks Zachary
mijaelstand, I now watched the video and I think I've changed my position. When you said poor quality I thought you meant frame skipping. The video seems to have banding issues. So my recommendations may not work for your problem. I've never seen that before on my XT720.
Hi dude. Thanx for reply. : ).....
I have my phone with the original room from factory.. still i have updated it. So im 2.1 eclair android version but im planning to update it .
I have setCpu app installed with motorola milestone overclockling app and it's running at 1000mhz on demand and it's smoothin. Very nice.
Also i uploaded a video where you can watch it and it has a nice quality. Look at this:
youtube.c/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_play. er&v=_H-SzGy9TxYr
So in this way i dont think the problem is some issue with the cam... also i have my sd in 2 partition cuze lin2sd can works. Also I dont know if the problem is the processor. So i need test it as u told me.

Hey,
This seems like a pretty standard recording. My XT720 performs in the same way. The only issue I think you have is lighting. The camera performs really poorly in low light and well outside. Try taking a video outside and post it. Goodluck.
Sorry im going to upload some example video. Thanx

Well that's a start but we need a similar & better articles in the top websites (Engadget, GSMarena, Phonearena & Android specific websites) if you really want any traction. Maybe then we'll get heard & get a proper reply.
Can anyone help the Galaxy R users get their point across to Samsung, Samsung India ? I would really like to know the truth.

Mailed to GSMArena
Here is the mail ccontent
---------------------------------
Hi GSMArena,
As you know that Samsung had launched GTi9103 Galaxy R back in Aug 2011. Now the product has been discontinued. Samsung never gave any clear answer about why the product has been discontinued. Some sources of Samsung say that it was launched with limited stocks while some say due to hardware problem.
Long back, they had also announced Galaxy R will receive ICS update and yet there is no clarification on it. On top of it they are misguiding the customers to stay patient.
Here are the reference link

Galaxy R problems buffering music on Saavn
Guys,
I noticed a problem on my phone while using the apps Saavn and Dhingana.
My phone buffers first 1-2 minutes of the song and never completes. It is not a problem with the internet bandwidth. Even with a 2mbps broadband connection, I've been facing this problem. Any advice will be appreciated.
Regards
Saroj

i think there must be prob with those apps. i use usound app to stream music many time and till date i havent faced any glitch. try re installing those apps.
to ensure that u dont have issue with bandwidth try speedtest app from market.
Why is gsmarena not responding to our request...??
I had send again a reminder yesterday...but still no luck...
could any thing else be done ??
My Viedo i Just Uploaded For Black Ops Zombies Controls are a little slow the game does not lag for me and overall its a good time passer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0pneL-bWYk&feature=plcp
Nice video, as for the controls I've figured out why the movement and aiming is so slow. The game calculates movement all the way to the most extreme edge of the touchpad so in order to move as fast as possible you need to put your finger as far out of the circle as possible while still barely touching the edge. Hopefully they add some sort of deadzone for the far edges; Shadowgun had this problem as well but to a much lesser extent.
don't buy it !! SAVE YOUR MONY
our xperia play can't support with high graphic , ir restart your phone like batman , GTA ...
we really need a new gaming phone !

I have attempted to play this game about 8 times. 6 of those tikes of reboot when you are still killing zombies in the tutorial. I have played it when its in internal memory Nd played when its on the sdcard. And same result. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it Almost consistently rebooted. Any ideas why? Is anyone else having a simile/same issue? And no I don't want anyone with a sub zero username photo responding to this because if its going to be another incredibly annoying and pointless comment about ICS then keep it to yourself. I think I speak for everyone here when I say to stop moaning like a child and either be happy with what you have now or get a different phone and move on.
Anyways, yes its rebooting and no I have not figured out why. Suggestions?
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
Personnaly I didn't encounter any problem playing this game. I reached the sixth wave without any lag (I set the quality to low) or reboot.
I'm running Gin2Jelly Lite without overclock or memory optimizing app. I just wish I could change the "joystick type", I prefer the swiping method on the touch area than the emulated joystick.
iyaaa ,the control are so bad ,like MC 2 ****ty . . .better using screen to control the camera
Do you keep many widgets? , what ram scripts or apps are you using?
Try running a "light homescreen" (no widgets) , uninstalling chainfire , maybe set a less agressive profile for whatever ram app you use.
edit : i also would like to mention it runs fine with me at max settings.
The game is very good, but wait... analog stick emulation? AGAIN? I'm sure many people still remember early Shadowgun releases and its crappy aiming... i hope they will fix it...

I like the virtual stick aiming in Shadowgun. I use it & think it really works with that game. I didn't even know there was an option to play with swipe now.
As for CoD Zombies though, I totally agree. The aiming is horrible & at the very least, needs an option in the settings to use swipe if you want.
I also hate it when a game forces you to use the left touchpad for walking, over the option to use d-pad.
You use stock right Greg? On my stock Play it runs very well with the graphical settings turned down to about 50%; I never got to far before changing settings so I'd imagine I or others would have the same issue when more zombies appear. I can confirm at lower settings I've gotten to about level 15 in both Kino and Call of the Dead (I ****ing love Call of the Dead, the "Nemesis" concept works incredibly well) and the game holds up incredibly well even at that point. I'm not sure how we'll be if any of us make it to level 100+ however . Once again, gotta say I absolutely love the controls and with auto-aim off I get headshots left and right. Make sure you guys keep in mind the "deadzone" issue which you can work around but obviously we'd be better off with that issue fixed.
@Headed in all fairness, the game manages to use every single button including the D-pad so I think its forgivable in this case.

I lol'd so hard at these comments, everyone knows this guy and everyone seems to think the same about him
Maybe the awesomeness of his xperia play broke the poor man's mind. Can someone who knows him throw the thing into MT. Doom or something?
ONTOPIC: No regrets on buying this game yet, runs great on LuPuSUIv0.5
Oh yeah... I think I wont be buying this
Aiming looks really bad. I just cant understand, WHY do developers insist that they must use emulated thumbsticks instead of swipe ???
I literaly have closed my gamepad while playing BC2 and MC3, atleast the shoulder buttons work ;_;
Brothers in arms was the worst... I just tapped my ADS button rapidly walked foward trying to aim with my screen sailing around like a drunk hobo.
I uninstaled that poop.
Can you use "swipe" controls with touch screen ?
BTW: I would cry out of all the laughter if Mehdi would play on PS3 while he keeps on crying about Xplay...

Dears,
Have you ever tried to make a call while you are using google maps ... and switching between both call and GPS... and if more like switching to chrome if you are crazy enough
it is so slow in multi tasking... I thought it is sometimes slow and lagging with some heavy games which I uninstalled all of them already... but also in day to day use it is relatively very slow mainly when it comes to using different apps at same time..
Thanks,

Hello,
I just mean the phone really lags when I am switching between couple of applications. for example, when using google maps for sometime, and then you try to make a phone call and then you need to get back to google maps... the phone acts like a very slow device.. Also, with some games .. and after playing for some minutes, the phone starts to lag again.
I dont know if this started to happen after Nougat or what... but I am not satisfied...

Does anyone have a solution?
I don't have a solution but I know the reason what's causing it.
Even the phone gets heaten up, I've experienced the lag and it makes to throw off this mobile, the only solution is to get a decent cover for this device I guess.
