Hello, i just wanna know some things about the samsung galaxy s. amd please please answer, because i really want to buy it but im also thinking of buying the nexus one.
1). Hows the vibration? Can you feel it good or do you have to have it on your hand in order to feel it.
2). Can you have the same lockscreen as on the nexus one?
3). Which would you rather get the NEXUS ONE or the SAMSUNG GALAXY S? I really like the nexus one because its fast and everything with Froyo 2.2 and it has an LED but i aslo like the galaxy s because of the 4 inch screen and the 720p video capture.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
I think the vibration is fine but that could be me, I'd go for the Galaxy S in my opinion but the Nexus One is a good phone too, I'm just looking forward to 2.2 on my Galaxy, hopefully soon fingers crossed.
About the lockscreen, i'm not sure you can change it but I'm sure someone will know
Galaxy s is faster. Why move backwards?
Get the SGS, i don't think you'll be deceived.
Nexus one do have the faster update.
But SGS have the better hardware. I think the hardware is more important since SGS will update to 2.2 anyway.
Id go with the nexus one, although on paper ths SGS has better hardware, the UI lags and touchwiz is really boring, brings no innovation whatsoever, and with the nx1 you're guaranteed updates from google, unlike samsung which will probably move on in a couple of months when they have a new flagship phone

Id go with the galaxy S. If you don't like the touchwiz, you can always use launcher pro. And since SGS has a better hardware, it will be a monster when it gets Froyo! Can't wait
PS: If you mean the "connect the dots" lock screen, yes. If you mean the slide to unlock, no(as far as I know).
Well as 99% of you know the SIII has been launched, with a whole host of software features.
What are the chances of us getting some of these features? A couple that appeal to me are the Music Hub (newer less usless version) and the new dongle that mirror to the TV.
It'd be great to get these features.
(Could this be the reason ICS got delayed?)
We gets the hubs for music, movies and the others.
Faceunlock but if u close your eyes and the screen goes off this feature is only for sgs3 and the videofrature too.

We'll never have them 'cause the s3 was "designed for humans" and the note was designed for aliens lol

I would like to see the improved camera software for our Note, such as faster shutter speed (current speed annoys me compared to my SGS1 Epic 4G which has a super fast shutter) and 3.3 second between shots.
I'm very interested in the AllShare Cast wireless streaming dongle.
I can't see any reason it wouldn't be offered for the Note, or any modern Samsung device for that matter.

i really want wireless display mirroring too!
hope our NOTE meet the hardware requirement....
We will get all of them soon...Just give our devs couple of months
What about the Siri clone? You think we will get it?
Well, if we do get it (and im sure eventually in time it will be), the only thing that I'm pretty sure we won't ever get is NFC... (this is after all the International Note version thread), this needs the hardware part... which I'm pretty sure our Note lacks the better part of it as well.
I feel like a good chunk if not almost all of these features could be ported to our Notes. Seeing as they've said that the quad core Exynos is supposed to be pin for pin identical to the dual cores in the fact that they can be changed out without having to alter your design I'd have to think the whole setup is similar, but I'm just guessing. The biggest thing I've been wondering about is with the whole zero shutter lag. Is it possible to port or give our older phones this ability? I don't know if new hardware is physically required or if it's all software? If my Note could have zero shutter lag, or even much faster shutter speeds and ICS. I'm perfectly happy without the SIII.

Yup, that's true:

It would be interesting if they held the Note's ICS update back, so they can show off all the new features on their flagship first. Rather than the S3 announcement essentially being; 'Its got all the features of the Note but its smaller and has no SPen'

Whilst I'm not a fan of threads such as this (prefer waiting), you are likely on the money. With 3 million Notes sold and S3 launch, you don't want to steal the new arrivals thunder!
Nexus S ICS was on Google Employees handsets for ages before publically released as Google needed to get units of Galaxy Nexus shifted.
Any timeframe extension the inhouse devs might have been given to allow for the launch of the S3 (in developing ICS mainstream Samsung build, Note extras and other device specific extras for say S2 for example) can only be a good thing.

You stole the words right out of my mouth.
I personally feel that most of the features should be able to get ported, especially the new TouchWiz Launcher Nature UX. Its essentially got the ICS stock feel with a Widget tab while allowing transparency.
I am hoping to get the ROM ported with features from the note, mainly SMemo stuff over to the note, that would be a delight.
Good Luck Dev's
I am not really impressed with the SIII, I am not saying it's bad rather it's awesome and I would have wanted it on day one had I not had my GNote. 4.8 is still small and it feels awkward saying that.
Coming to your question, who knows it might all be the ICS Update, if not then in Note II definitely.

This is what i posted in the main ICS thread & this is what I feel..
I think Galaxy note will get ICS updates inline with Galaxy S2 with the addition of premium suite. Both of them are previous years's model.
Galaxy note 2 & Galaxy S3 will have same feature set.
From business point of view if Galaxy note gets the features then Galaxy note 2 will be only a hardware upgrade. Well that wouldnt create the hype would it ?
Regarding porting to our note our devs will certainly turn the magic wheels....
I am leaning towards the PORT and not a Samsung Supported update due to the same reason of Productization and ensuring that the customer can differentiate between the Note and the SGS III, otherwise the Note will win with the features and screen size, but lacking the Quad Core.
I also feel with a complete ICS build running on the Note it probably won't be that much slower than the GSIII despite dual vs. quad. Heck people said it's the same GPU just overclocked right? As for Note 2 I wouldn't be surprised if they introduce some new features. Maybe HD SuperAMOLED+? Wasn't the Note the first Samsung phone to have the HD Screen, GLONASS, S-Pen, etc?
As for some of the new features my Droid Charge which is basically just Galaxy S hardware has the newer launcher, widgets, and some of the features from the Galaxy SII. So I think we could see stuff brought to our Note!!
I am looking to upgrade my original 7.0 Tab (running cm9) and am considering both of these devices. I am on Verizon and would still like to be connected to the network as opposed to wifi only (or I would probably just go Nexus 7). Would be interested in hearing everyone's thoughts on which unit is the better way to go. I am leaning 7.7, but the price seems a bit high. Should I be considering a different model?
Thanks in advance.

The 7.7 is the best small tablet out there, hardware-wise (yes, including the Nexus 7. The Tegra 3 solution has never impressed me, specially with all the performance problems that Nvidia's CPUs have had since the beginning). It is basically an overgrown Galaxy Note, with the fastest dual-core CPU and one of the fastest GPUs out there. The screen is just beautiful. It costs more, but it offers a lot more as well.
However, the OS that comes with it (Honeycomb) is awful. Slow, laggy, unstable. There are official ICS upgrades for the international models, but those have their issues as well. And in your case, if you buy the US Verizon model, you'll have to wait until Verizon offers the software upgrade. This will probably never happen. So, the best option is to go for AOSP-based ROMs, such as CyanogenMod 10 or ParanoidAndroid (both of which are based on JB).
The Tab 2's hardware pales in comparison, but it offers ICS from the box and has a JB leak already out there. It also has CM10/PA/other AOSP ROMs, helped by the fact that its CPU, even though is slower than the 7.7's, is the same as the Galaxy Nexus. Developers call those OMAP4-based devices "easy mode" development...
So, the choice is better hardware versus better software. I chose better hardware, since you can always improve the software but it's hard to improve the hardware of a tablet.
If you're willing to go for something bigger, the Note 10.1 sounds very impressive. It's the only tablet out there with a hardware that is better (IMHO) than the 7.7, and it comes with ICS, with JB coming in the next few months.

Clarifying my point... Even if you go the AOSP route, the software on the Tab 2 will be better than that on the 7.7. And that's simply because
(a) you'll have JB sources for your device, which helps A LOT;
(b) it's a cheaper device, therefore there will be more devices out there, and so, more developers; and
(c) it's "easy mode". TI releases all the docs, and people have a lot of experience from the Nexus and other similar devices. This is why, for example, the less popular Galaxy SII GT-I9100G had CM10 way before the regular, Enyxos-based GT-I9100.
well, from my experience, av been also a user of the GT - P1000, and i must say that it was the best gadget i ever had, moving to the 7.7 I was hesitating between 7.0 plus and this, never thought about the tab 2 for many reasons.
the truth is, i didn't find the 7.0 plus 3g, so i ended up with the 7.7 3g
i do like the 7.7, holding it in my hand is very confortable (my hands are huge, handy worker) but I HATE THE SMALL FONT, my GT - P1000 was great, i can read on it and use it without problems, but this, no way! by the end of the day you will have a horrible headache because if this tinny text...
no way to change it, even if there is an app who make it bigger (big font) but it laks stability, and the system will be affected, turns it to huge, but without it, you won't be able so see anything.
best regards

Galaxy Tab 7.7
I'm looking for a video and review of the S5 running on stock android, maybe even some benchmarks if available. I am thinking of upgrading my phone and the S5 is on my shortlist. I can't stand the touch wiz interface from Samsung. I haven't been able to see anyone running the S5 stock. I'm not into themes or cracked apps, I just wan't a vanilla experience. I need to know if the camera is as good running stock 4.4, than it is on the Samsung's rom.
I'm coming from an old iphone 4, so honestly any phone now out is an upgrade lol. I post quite a few pictures to Ebay/Facebook for my business so speed and the camera are my two main concerns. The removable battery and micro SD take care of my other two. Any input would be appriciated as I'm not sure if I should just hold off for the next iPhone in September.
I am downgrading simply because of Cyanogenmod and bigger battery. Good idea or no?
I bought S5 due to CyanogenMod support, removable battery and microSD card slot. Those 3 things were deal breakers for me, when i was choosing my new phone. S6 have amazing specs, and it will be a much much faster device than S5. I heard, that first alpha build of CM was released for S6, but it will take a long time, before it's going to function properly. If you can't live without CM (like me ) and you need that bigger battery (which you can always replace with a spare one ) it is a good idea to downgrade, but if you are thinking about more future-proof phone, which will last longer, i'd go with S6.

So should i downgrade? I head people having yellow tint in the screen is that true? and can i watch a full hd move on it without charging? and does cm support lte for s5?

I heard about that yellow tint, but people who had that, simply went to their seller/Samsung service with their warranty and they mounted a new display. Fortunately, i haven't got that tint.
You can watch FHD movies without charging, i dunno what's the problem ( or i'm too sleepy, and i can't understand english at this moment :/ excuse me xd )
Yes, CM supports LTE.
That is a purely opinionated question and I'm anxious to see all of the replies to this one but in my opinion the S6 is of course a faster device but I'm with Luki7151 on this. I prefer the S5 because it has:
1.) Removable Battery which comes in handy especially if you're a modder.
2.) Expandable memory which is really the biggest deal breaker for me.
3.) S5 has USB 3.0 port. Don't know why they went back to the 2.0 small port on the S6.
4.) S5 is water resistant
My girlfriend got the S6 and there's nothing my S5 can't do that hers can. In fact, my S5 has more features since hers is stock and I'm running S6 edge custom rom lol. There has also been numerous occasions where I'd watch 3 movies in FHD back to back with screen brightness turned all the way up and still did not have to charge my phone.
For me the possibility to use a micro SD (128 GB) is a very good reason as well!
S6 has USB 2.0 port, because it was a standard in smartphone technology. I can only only list two devices which had USB 3.0 port: Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5. Probably it was too odd for Samsung to have two major devices with those USB 3.0 ports, while any other phone had standard 2.0 port, so they reverted it back to old standard.
I cannot say, that S5 is fully IP67 certified (30min to 1m of water), because i have never merged my phones . Although, i can say that it is water resistant, because it survived, when i was cleaning it up under stream of water.
Last but not least. Remember! Flashing an AOSP rom like CyanogenMod, will have some consequences. You won't be able to use fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor or some Touchwiz related features like one-handed mode or download booster, but for this price, you will get (in my opinion) the fastest running rom on S5, which i have ever flashed
I'm currently using TW Revolution V5.2 and can tell you everything works including finger print scanner and download booster and it is an S6 Edge port so you'll have the S5 with the S6 features if you want a rom with all the stock working features. The rom is in the international section if you wanna try something different out.
