Problems - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Other than rom kinks what are some hardware problems with the sgs 4g

Depends on who you ask. Mine didn't have any stock out of the box. Some people had GPS problems.

GPS is notoriously flakey
Poor design tradeoffs, in my opinion include:
The choice to have only a 1 GB internal flash was very limiting (only a fraction available to user programs and data), especially with the as-shipped fota bloat
No flash for the camera (and mediocre camera performance compared to its peers)

This phone was amazing for me right out of the box, wasn't thrilled with camera and storage as listed earlier. But my big complaint was when I went from froyo to gingerbread via kies everything would force close and it lagged everything down, but finding this amazing forum and rooting and flashing custom roms fixed everything. Been very pleased with my phone ever since.

Only problem I feel was a flaw is the 2gig internal memory....even the vibrant which is the predecessor to this has 16 gig internal

The cameras, just terrible

My bad...

I came from the almighty mytouch 4g slide. So everything to me is a great down fall. The only thing I really like about this phone is the size and speedyness of it but I miss my dual core processor I just didn't feel like getting a new one and this was free.

Camera issue

Is it just me or the gb updated front camera suck horribly? Is there a way to fix this problem...and app or something! By the way my phone is plain Jane!

It's bad since the Gingerbread update. However, I discovered Camera ZOOM FX which now supports the FFC and it seems to be much better.
How much is it

[Q] Modems Kernels and other such things

Ok whats the best most stable modem for the Infuse? Like in terms of speed, network stability and battery life. Also was wondering if flashing some kind of kernel would improve anything.

That really depends...different modems work different in different areas...have to test tthem all out to see which one is best for you

I wanna say I have tried the kk1 modem and it seemingly breaks wifi for me, is that a known issue

I've used k1 for about 3 days everything is great buy drains battery. I've found that i3 is the best all around modem IMO

Nope. Used it for 2-3 days and wifi actually works good. Everything is good, except for the battery drain. KI3 works best for me.

No rom space?

I have noticed that my Xoom it's running a Lil slow. I don't have more Rom space 0 MB this affect the performance of my Xoom? Thanks!!!

Which ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
System ROM space doesn't affect performance at all. It's running slow is probably due to the fact you may have too much programs running in the background or cached. So you probably don't have enough RAM.

If he is using the newest EOS4 ROM, then I would suggest reverting to an older EOS3 ROM because some other people and I have had some lag issues with the current EOS4 builds. I'm chalking it up to being early nightlies.

I'm looking to erase unnecessary things from the system. I just erase Ringtones folder because I never use those and ending getting like 8MB free xD

I just moved some apps to SDcard and the system seems a little bit smooth

You could get rid of some videos android has, I believe it's in system/media/
Yeah it could be that as well, internal storage being bottlenecked due to the apps installed internally.

ROM...Pmid10c stock no bloat cwmr...

Hi so here is what it is, hope this helps some people out, if you want to talk to the dev, pm me and go from there...
I have not flashed this yet but am about to soon. If you do flash, let me know how it goes... As always, flash at your own risk... The dev does not have this exact device but his custom ROM on a very close model has gotten very good reviews...

the rom works........ would be great if there was a way to overclock this crazy thing or another way to speed it up, seems a little slow at times.
'aslo sometimes when i boot up, it just turns to a white screen. I have to power down again and restart it up.....
Outstanding, except for the white screen and the lag. I find the original rom is pretty slow too, except in gaming modes, it plays some every game I've thrown at it with almost no issues... So how's the recovery? It is with it right? And I still couldn't get the damn .img file open, how did you do it?
Edit, you can oc it to like 1.4Ghz but mine is by no means stable at all... set cpu apk is a good oc'r, there are a ton of apps you can use...
I think it would be perfect with jb, no problems at all. I really hope an advanced dev picks this up and runs with it

Xperia Slim not what I was expecting

Ok I have flashed nearly every gs4g Rom but this Rom really really impressed me. I thought it would look good but be clunky and slow but on the contrary it was sleek fast and beautiful. Thanks developer you have really made me consider sticking to this Rom and not Rom hop every other day. I just wanted to give the developer some more notice. Thanks again!!!!

Yes im really digging it too. Coupled with Seeder app and android tuner it runs pretty sweet. Can't wait for GPS to be smoothed out.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Thanks for letting me know about that seeder app just bought it the reviews sounded all positive. I'm definitely going to follow this Rom as it gets better the only thing I might switch too is cm 10.1 by beast once he gets the Wi-Fi working. Thanks again for letting me know about seeder!!

Just an FYI the GPS is automatically turned on but I don't think it is working right now.
I had some battery drain issues and the culprit was GPSlocation Provider according to Better Battery. Only way to correct it is to turn it off and reboot to stop it from causing a wakelock.
Only issue I have now is RILJ wakelock and PowerManagement Service.
The RILJ seems to be a JB thing.
Anyone else having small problems like this.

i was told power manage was wifi
K well at least that explains that part of the mystery
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Power manager is code for check partial wakelocks and see which app is sucking down battery. Wow wakelock and wlan are wifi. Whenever I was on jb the maps app kept acting up and trying to turn on gps even when I wasn't running it, I used greenify to put it to sleep when I wasn't using it and that seemed to work.
Heh, thanks dude n I have a lil secret fo u all: this rom using the newest n unreleased kernel of Erik...pssst (@ Erik: sorry bro) n amw, social life app of sony xperia Z ported so if u want, search on XDA
