What do you think of the Samsung Galaxy?

Hi, I don't want be rude and talking badly to the Samsung Galaxy but a new device with Android OS that has only a 3.2Camera and no- Flash seems bit absurd don't you think? The name has nothing to do with the real world...a galaxy or a star usually is very bright...with this phone you cannot even make photo or video in the night time...mmmm....not a galaxy whatsoever................

All I can say is: Stay with HTC models!

But the procesor and the chipset is a lot better then the crappy qualcomm. If only HTC start to use different processors.

Qualcom chip
Are you sure about that? I have an Htc Diamond 2, a Sony Xperia X1, and Htc Hero, they are perfect ! before that a Samsung D900...it was fine...nice phone but I could not do it the things I do with Htc or Sony.

u cannot compare phones with different OS, and I dont know what chip was used in D900. I am talking about Snapdragon(Qualcomm) vs. Hummingbird(Samsung).

have you seen the galaxy videos? it takes like 5+ secs to actually getting in to the gallery after pressing it. it seems kinda slow to me. unless that's because of the software being beta or something, that's slow to me.
@ qualcomm vs hummingbird: qualcomm will come out soom enough with dualcores.

1. seen that, especially the "Lady" that was clicking on icons like she was mad and launching few programs at the same time, but who knows.
and after qualcomm will come with dualcore, samsung will come with better dualcore.
I think there were some benchmarks comparisons, will try to find them.

Sony Xperia X1 is HTC-designed.

Hello,
i was actually wondering if anybody knows how to Mod correctly a galaxy.
I have a galaxy from the middle east which does not come with marketplace. the I7500JVIL2. I have flashed it using ODIN to another rom I7500xiik, however many options stopped working like sdcard, camera, etc... i flashed it to 1.6, camera started working but sdcard still doesn't.
So, I was wondering if there is any way to get this fixed. I need sdcard so that I flash using recovery mod. I'm trying to flash it back to the original build I7500JVIL2, hoping this will make everything work again.
Do you think this is a good solution? Are there suggestions you can make on another build to use that has marketplace and everything working on the phone.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I couldn't find anything regarding galaxy on XDA and I love this forum. I habe been able to succesfully mod my g1 through this forum.
Thanks,

For me the only thing to like about the galaxy is it's name

I just realized that you are talking about the galaxy(i7500) and not about galaxy s(i9000).
BTW galaxys, you should sue samsung for using your nick.

Personally I wouldn't touch a Samsung with a bargepole, I have owned a few Samsung phones, where the phones tend to be okay they do not support them at all with firmware updates, they have a remarkable release rate of phones and rather than supporting the current ones they just release a new one!

Galaxy name
Yeah your right only the name is cool....I don't know why people don't pay attention to the market...We have around in Uk at list 10 top of the range mobiles, starting with HTC HD2, Htc Desire, Htc Legend, Nexus One, Diamond 2, Motorola Milestone, Nokia n900, Omnia2 and so on....Why buying the Galaxy?. I will give you another example: Which would you buy between Htc Desire and Sony Xperia X10???...Of course the Desire!!! they have the same price but Desire is on another planet: Android 2.1, Multitouch, better Keyboard, better interface...Maybe..the only thing Xperia X10 has better then Desire is the Camera that's all...Xperia X10 is basically a 2009 device sorry arrived to late!

[Q] New Phone Suggestions

Hello, I am currently looking for a new phone with a new 2yr contract and I was wondering what everyone's opinions are. I am currently looking for:
Except for AT&T(Didnt like the service) any of the other Providers are fine
Physical Keyboard is Fine, (not needed).
Good GPU tests
Decent size screen
At least 2GB internal space
1GB Processor
HD Video playback
Must have Android OS !!!
Please reply with your suggestions. Thanks!

I'd suggest the HTC HD2, because you can have the best of both worlds, Android 2.2 and Windows Mobile 6.5.*, and Windows Mobile 7 will be ported to it. Don't know if it's on AT T though.
If you want an exclusive android phone though, the G2, Desire HD or Desire Z may interest you

Hmmm What do you all think of the galaxy phones and the Droid X, 2, Evo, and the G2?

[Q] Which Phone should I get??

Hi, I hve finally decide to go back to PDA/Smartphone and want to know which I should get. I am a veteran in the rom flashing/cooking era of the wizard and vario's and htc touch pro 2. I am after finding out which is the best , as in most powerful and able to run everything smoothly whether it be android or Win7. I prefer a physical keyboard , but if screen good enough will use on screen one.
Thanks for your time/thoughts peeps!!
P.s coming of an Iphone 4. (Boo hiss I know...lol).

Desire Z (w/ HW Keyboard), iPhone 4 or HTC HD7...
This depends on you. All those phones are great. You need to check which one fits your style. We can't do this for you.

I suggest you wait until the newer Q1 2011 android phones come out, where do you live and what carriers are in your area?

Thanks for the replys. I am in UK on o2 and have about £400 for new phone.

need a phone quite quickly so am after the best nowish. Can a desire z be flashed with roms etc and HD7?
HD7 looks quite big and desire z only has 800mhz cpu as far as I can see . Is this fast enough.?
Thanks.

[Q] Best choice for new phone (qwertz-slider)

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a new phone since my HTC Touch HD gets old.
Main criteria is a full hardware qwertz keyboard (Germany).
Are there some other choices beside Motorola Milestone 2 and HTC Desire Z?
I would prefer a HTC phone but the Desire Z is not very good with just 800Mhz and 1,5Gb internal memory.
The Milestone seems to be the best choice at the moment, or are there some downsides?

Motorola Milestone 2 or 3 or Xperia Pro. I preffer Xperia Pro, it's more my style, but it's your choice.

I think there aren't many options out there with slide out keyboard. There is Motorola Spice XT300, but it's kinda ugly and the hardware isn't good.

Sup with the mods ?

I've reached out to two mods already....come on mods.... cut us some slack here.
See my forum for the TeamLeader 1.2 rom, its just a bit custom from the stock rom but pretty stable.
://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22093503 << add http infront enjoy

I think we need a forum for this wonderful phone even if the number of users still aren't a lot!
This phone is really wonderful

Vote for the idea!
Come on....

i just dont understand why we still dont have a forum for the most powerful phone on market today, already months waiting for it there is some customized rom out there, and in XDA nothing. we need a forum for our "beast" here to speed-up things.
hope administrator can give us some space here...
we need our forum here 4.65-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 1 GB of RAM, 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p HD recording.

I'd like to add my voice to this request.
I've just received this great little phone, fired it up and it's amazing...
sticking with mostly stock things for now (other than my usual apps) and since it's mostly in Korean.. I'd LOVE some roms for it... ICS would be lovely

I'm using this phone, too. The phone is really great.
It's very difficult too find roms and howtos about this phone.
I hope there will be a forum for this phone.

im i agree with you peaple^^ i just bought this phone yesterday~ and is amazing!!! but i really want to try others custom rooms~

I agree. I bought the non HD version but it is just a sweet (model SHV-E110S) and I woudl love some customization. Hell Id even pay for some. I am by no means a phone expert but I am running gingerbread FB13 on it and if someone needs a copy of it and can point me in the direction of how to pull from phone or where Kies stored it on my computer id happily send it.

P.S how about an Icon for beer....way off subject I know

Yes, we really need a forum for that kind of phone !

Hey guys, as the proud owner of a SG s2HD LTE. I would like to let you other guys know you can run most of the app's that the android market says are "incompatible". The way to do this is to install Snappz Market, find games like Order and Chaos HD and install (all free on this market), Order and Chaos HD runs very well, the phone does an incredible job running all games!

we really need a forum special for our S II HD LTE

+1 vote... hope modders out there will spare some of there time to discover the potential of this very interesting phone. Much better than the SGS II i9100.
