I have been hearing this from quite a number of mobile dealers that Samsung has stopped the production of Gfit....
If its true then it means less hardware support from SC :/:/
Yes this is true..production has stopped..
capture qrrchi
This is bad But, developers can support this device.
Where camera worked in ICS
Afaik, production stopped waaaay back in january, while the stocks got over by april...
If we believe what samsung says, our phone hasn't done well...
That's why g-fit has no successor (apart from the look-successor, the s3 )...while mini and ace, both have different versions like mini/ace plus, mini/ace 2, ace duos etc...
Though the plus side is, we have a cleaner forum
Ok. So the production has stopped. But samsung should carry on with firmware upgrades for our fit. I think samsung should make a special ics firmware for fit and similar low end phones as we have low ram memory and i have heard that ics requires at least 512mb ram.
Why would it do so?
If samsung gave galaxy s users an ics update, none of them would update to a newer phone...hurting sammy in sales...
my first priority is looks, build & battery backup. tell me which one has better looks & real battery backup?
I strictly don't "need" a dual sim...so the second sim will always be empty in either case.Selected this as its the best available in my budget...(btw, my budget was rs.15000 but extended to rs.16000 for this phone as it seems to be a good phone for my requirements)
thought about taking htc desire v but after using my friend's desire v i dropped the idea as the touch seems to be missed by phone for a second...but otherwise its a fabulous phone too(earlier was confused b/w desire v & samsung s duos)
I've used samsung wave 3 for a day (another friend's phone) its smooth fast....but the problem is with apps & games....really couldn't find much interesting apps & games on internet.(being bada 2.0)
None of my friend has galaxy s duos so couldn't use it personally (anybody using it?give me a personal review)
I even heard wave3 is going to get tizen os (intel & samsung tie-up which will enable android apps on this phone) but samsung havn't said anything from last 6 months about confirming this...last update about tizen was a prototype phone launched to test tizen for developers. m afraid that suppose i buy wave 3 n samsung dont come up with tizen update then i would left with just the default apps(like samsung always do...they don't care about their existing consumers & come up with new to the new consumers only)
Also, tell me, i know super amoled display is better but does the tft lcd on galaxy s duos matches it so some extent?
I'm really confused. please help me?
Good day
I’m hoping someone can steer me in the right direction for the right phone.
Up until 4 months ago I was happy camper with my Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted with Cyanogen-mod.
Then it died and not keeping up on the latest changes I went out and grabbed a SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 SM-G900A AT&T SW-VER G900AUCU3B0C4 - LP 5.0. Little did I know that they had locked it up tighter than a drum? Wow, with the software bloat and not being able to use CM on this thing is driving me nuts.
I’m with Cricket now and I guess that puts in with GSM. Though an unlocked NW phone that could handle both GSM and CDMA would be nice but not a must.
I’m looking for –
- 2 GB RAM
- 4.8 – 5.5 Display
- One you can root
- Customize with CM
- 16-32 Internal ROM
- MicroSD card support
- Cost under $250
Note - I really don’t use a Camera and I don’t play games on these
Unless someone can suggest something else I was look at these two straight from Motorola.
What do you all think –
MOTO G3 GSM (XT1540) AndroidTM Lollipop 5.1.1
MOTO G4 GSM/CDMA (XT1625) Android™ 6.0.1, Marshmallow
Thank you so much for your time and help.

Thanks for this good news. Do you know if the Galaxy S7 will soon get this new interface (with android 7.1.1 for example), or if we have to wait for the android O update ?

You're welcome. I also asked them few days ago will S7 get 7 1.1 Nougat and they told me: "YES. BUT WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN". I hope that they will bring it with 7.1.1. Also they didn't say with what version will S7 get new UI. If I find out I will let you know.

Google is set to release the next iteration of its Android OS Android O on 21 August which is the day of the US total solar eclipse. While we are just a day away from the launch, most of the smartphone manufacturers are now gearing up to provide the new update to their recently launched smartphones. As such, one of the top brands Samsung is also preparing for the update and is looking forward to providing Android O for its smartphones with its Grace UI on top which will be better optimized to run the software smoothly. While the company has been a bit slow in providing updates, hopefully, this time Samsung rolls out the update at a much faster pace.
Looking at Nougat, Samsung got the first updates out to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in China and the UK 143 days after Google released Android 7.0. The update took a grand total of 180 days to reach US shores, landing first on T-Mobile, followed by AT&T the day after and Sprint two days after that. Verizon hobbled across the finish line a couple of weeks later. -- What the actual f(*)ck, samsung?!
you might be right, mate!
Good news for s7 users. But android O is really worst than android N reported by some forums due to less root capabilites and different system structure.

Yes. I am tired of flashing s8 ports, aosp roms etc. They should release it for s7.
Ok. So I'm seriously considering upgrading to this phone from my old S5 through Straight talk. It says this device ships with Android M but the S7 is actually capable of Vulkan API support without having to update to Nougat (Straighttalk doesn't do firmware updates for some reason) Anyway, can anyone confirm or deny that the Straighttalk (Tracfone) Galaxy S7 supports Vulkan? Thanks in advance.
I just went ahead and bought this phone. The box says it runs Marshmallow but in Settings it says its running Android 7.0. So this phone SHOULD support Vulkan but I tried a couple of games (Hit and Need For Speed No Limits) and they look nothing like that Vulkan showcase video they released before the Galaxy S7 launched. As a matter of fact, the overall gaming performance is only marginally better than my rooted (no overclocking) S5. Can't say I'm not disappointed.
