Hi There,
I've just got my Galaxy S today, used to have a HTC Desire.
First problem I had was connecting to Kies. W7 x64 didnt like it, but turn the phone on while the usb was plugged in solved this.
Now for my second problem. Using my HTC Desire, I bought various apps from the market, but some of these such as Caligo Chaser can't be found when I search the market. How can I solve this?
Third: Kies tells me that "This mobile phone is not supported by Samsung Apps" and won't let me download some of the apps i want through there. What can I do?
I also want to use the podcast widget in kies, but when I enable it it tells me "Available after updating to the latest version" even though I have the latest version of Kies. What's wrong?
I would really like to use keys because managing my music and videos works fine.
Regards,
Lyno
I'm a former desire owner and very dissappointed GS owner. How have you found this device compared to desire? My experience has been one of great dissappointed.
I'm totally the opposite!
I love the screen, the video capability and the overall performance.
totally wipes the floor with my desire.
I take it you have issue with the lag ging freeze, ram issue, or gps?

I've been using it intensely, running all sorts of apps and 720 videos and as of yet, no lagging.
What's the RAM issue?
Not tried GPS yet, will do today.
What about the apps that don't appear?
This is driving me crazy! I keep checking out these forums, trying to figure out what problems are really going on with this device and it's insane how some folks are having issues that if are real, should be happening to all but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have an iPhone 4 and although it's nice, it's lacking in so many features I would call basic. I also have an Evo that has build quality issues but overall performs well. I hate the looks of the Droid X and so I'm trying to decide on the SGS, Evo and iPhone 4.
Going to check out the Captivate today in store and really give it some testing and look for some of the issues mentioned on this forum.......

Here's an issue that no one mentions but is definitely prevalent. Not all headphones with inline mic work on the SGS. I got pissed that my vmoda vibe duo sounded like pure crap but the headphones included worked fine. After a quick forum search I found out that alot of users experience this problem and as far as I know, there's no way to "know" which headphones (with inline mic) will work for sure. There's a "dirty fix" which is to tape down the talk button on the mic but i'd rather not have to deal with that.
I told my bud working at AT&T to check to see if the Captivate has that problem but he only had access to the stock headphones at the time...I'll update if he confirms or denies the same issue on the Captivate

Not sure if you have flashed a new ROM yet but this sounds like you cannot see protected apps (some, but far from all paid apps are protected). Could you post your ROM versions (dial *#1234# to see them). If this is an issue with the protected apps, there is a solution in my FAQ thread.

I personally find it impressive that you got Kies to recognize your phone correctly in Windows 7 x64. I have done everything short of a complete Windows reinstall. So far without success. I personally find it one of the biggest shortcomings of Samsung regarding this phone. Software support this crappy belongs in the previous century and is simply ridiculous in the year 2010!
Im using win7 x64 and kies works ok. I had to install twice because the first time i plugged the phone in too soon and that fubarred the driver install.

I guess I'll add this to the list of things to consider when testing the Captivate. It really seems like there are people who get the device and don't want to hear about problems like parents who don't want to hear about their children doing wrong. Every device has some type of problems but there should be no issues with talking about any problems in a place like this......
So first of all about Kies ... it is not really supporting the android phone if I undesrtood well
For instance the samsung app are not android app
That's why it say's that your phone is not recognized
I think we will have to wait for a new version of Kies
On my side it doens't work on my vista 32 but it doens on another desktop on vista 64.
I already re installed the soft 3 time but still have the problem of MTP failed ( and WM11 doens't work neither )
I had no problems with Kies in Win7 x64 and identifying my device.
I have a problem with Kies in general. It sucks.
win7 64 and kies worked ok for me on me laptop and desktop. but your right it is pants!
I haven't really used Kies yet. What is it supposed to do?

Yeah I know what you mean. Tested the vibrant today with iphone headphones and they didn't have the same issue. I showed the chick working at the t-mobile store what I meant with my own phone and she was pretty surprised at that problem.
My at&t bud told me he told his product manager and she tested it and it was fine. He's gonna personally test it tomorrow as well.

Yesteday it was working.. But I've Changed Android Roms to see how things are.. And I've already tried two and both Give a Network Error when it starts...IS anybody having the same problem or is it related to something else... Oh also changed the WM rom to an Android friendly one
Mines not working either on 2 builds as we are speaking.
For some reason Android Market is down at the moment... weird, first time I have knowledge of this happening... maybe an update for something big?
Why tonight!!!!
I thought it was only me having the problem. I text-ed all my friends who have vibrant's and evo's theirs are working just fine. It wasnt until i tried to load another rom that I realized it wouldnt load. I switched back still same error message. I think its a "HD2 ONLY" issue.
Market doesn't working on my brother's Moto Droid also. I think it's official downtime.

Thanks for this feedback,i was quite afraid that we were sort of banned from this pandora box ;-)
weird...i just installed a poker game from the market .
market place seems to be responding very slowly...within the last hour? I thought it was the new build I was loading, good to know other people are having this problem as well tonight.
Not workig in my nexus tha suck.......
so I googled a bit and this problem is happening to random people.
even people with native android phones.
On my nexus .....
Yeah, Its not working on my phone neither. I thought it was the build I just installed but I guess not.
ROM: Energy w/DinikGlass
Radio: 2_12_50_02
BUILD: shubCRAFT_v1.4c
I love the work done to this build!
Works fine for me.... doesn't show any content in the mainscreen but if you select apps/games the lists do appear
^^^ what he said! Its working for me also.. other then the main app screen saying "no matching content in Android Market" But there are certain things that arent found... like "pandora" for example.. i guess the market is still being Fixed or Upgraded... etc

I'm in the UK so it may be the US servers or something like that..
Its Working.. Some What... NO App Suggestion like Before.. Just Says "no Matching content" Guess Google Changed Something and probably had some unwanted results. And Idk it seems weird...Different List of Apps... I know Apps get taken out and put in... But I don't see the usual Set of apps in that i normally see Games/Apps that are high rated
Never seen these apps... I DONT LIKE CHANGE!! .. haha
Mine was down too. Now that its up the app lineup is very different. I'm not sure I like what I'm seeing.

I have noticed most people are having problems using htcsense.com with the HTC Desire HD and I am no different. They appear to be upgrading there server but why is it taking months? as people have been having problems for months now.
I sent htc an email about htcsense.com and this is the response I had
"Over the past few months HTC has been undertaking an upgrade to HTCSense.com in order to enhance the web experience for our customers, extend service availability and increase service quality and uptime. During this upgrade process some people may experience some fluctuation in the services and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are implementing an update in the next month that should minimize most service problems. Currently, accounts have these main features: find my phone, call and message forwarding and lock and erase my phone. Over the next few months as we complete the upgrade, more features will be added into accounts. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to make the HTCSense.com experience even better."
Read this
Effectively, it is still a beta service from the sounds of it. Services like that require a lot of testing, and the best way to test it is by releasing it to everyone. Massive load on servers, means they can upgrade/tune it as needed.
Mine says that its not enabled on my phone and it gives you the relevant steps to enable, but it is all active on the phone, is this down to this server issue/upgrade issue? I'm not to bothered but be nice to know the service is there (and working) if god forbid it got lost or stolen.
Anyhow thanks for the information.

I had that problem too after I started using custom ROMs. Fortunately I found out that if I deleted the account on the phone aswell as on the website (htcsense.com) and used the phone to create it again, then it works. Try that
- Martin
It used to work for me the first time, now my phone is not found anymore and no action works. The only thing I keep getting is that anoying "Friends - contacts matches" crap that doesn't even work right. I'm using stock rom, not rooted or aything. Also country selection is a complete fail since not all countries where HTC phones are sold are listed, so I always select UK. They really should fix this service soon.
I had to factory reset my phone to fix a CPU utilization issue, Now after re entering the HTC account info, the gps phone location bit on HTC sense does now at least show a map, but thinks I'm in Africa... admittedly I haunt used the gps to update so will try that but functions like ring phone just fail... so better but not great....

Hmmm now its working ok, but the gps location thing keeps coming on on its own so that's annoying so yeah try re-installing the app and or re creating the account.
I do.d the friend link thing ok, not part of HTC sense online service tho =]
Hope you sort it! Or it gets sorted!

I do not suggest to use htc sync. Its totally crap. Many have encountered problems and even lost data. Even htc rep admits its still a work in progress.

I totally agree, I installed it so I could transfer my contacts from Outlook onto my DHD. It just says Outlook was preventing it, but I could see nothing wrong, ended up saving the contacts out as a file and sending it over Bluetooth.
It's a shame HTC sense on the phone and the hardware is prity flawless, the pc and online software is really setting the game down.
Hopefully they sort it out with updates.

Hi
Got my Desire HD yesterday guys, I'm in Ireland. Surprise surprise HTCSense.com cannot locate my phone even though all the settings are turned on etc. I e-mailed them and got the usual about the service being upgraded yada yada!!
I read on the Teachradar review (http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-desire-hd-717295/review?artc_pg=9) that this was an issue back in October as well, cannot believe its still not fixed :-(
Cheers,
M
PS: Love my Desire HD but would love to have the find my phone feature actually working too!!
Ok this might help you if you are having issues with htcsense.com :
First htcsense didn't pork for me on FireFox 4 hut worked perfection IE9 no idea why put must be something related to plungins
Second the location service didnt work for me despite ableing the location on my settings,well actually that was due to my HD2 running desire HD Rom and in which I used my htcsencse account. Once I removed the Android from my HD2 I reinstalled a different desire HD Rom on it without login the htcsense, the location for my desire HD worked.
Hi All,
I don't know if any of you have had the occasional issue with the home/back button doing phantom long presses but if you have a fix is on its way and will be included in the OTA due shortly to resolve the reboot issues. I posted the following question on the Google support forums and this is what the Google rep had to say:
Thanks Ry Guy,
Is the fix likely to be included in the upcoming OTA fix for reboots? or will it be after that?
Thanks!!

Hi RobMac74,
The fix will be included in the upcoming OTA, so this shouldn't be a problem much longer
Cheers,

so it looks like we have a fix coming for two important issues, from my perspective this is pretty impressive support from Google....what do you guys think?
Really nice support from Google. Pushing out OTA:s that quickly is impressive.

Apparently they are fixing a security issue with the "SD card" space being accessible. Not sure on the details as I quickly read over it the other day. Google should be able to tell all though if you search for it.
I wish they would include a fix for the poor wifi reception
Gx
I just wish they included a change log with these things. It would be nice to know what to expect, or what to look for.
For the bad calibration of the white color she will be corrected OTA? (yellow tint)
I want this badly !!!

Is the reception really poor for you or is it just that the signal strength indicator for WiFi appears to be lower? I, too, noticed this when I first got my Nexus S compared to my Nexus One, however the WiFi does work up to the same distance away from my router on both phones. Maybe they just need to tweak the way the signal indicator is displayed?
In my case, it often disconnect suddenly ... and immediately reconnect.
Very often ...
While I don't have that issue with my HTC Desire.
Nothing has changed in the network.

It works OK just with minimum signal but downstairs in my kitchen I have no signal at all whereas my ipad and palm have nearly full signal. If I move closer to the router to a position where minimum signal returns, it then drops in and out...very frustrating.

Same here frequent disconnects & reconnects aswell as weak signal (probably why it keeps disconnecting). I'm on my 4th NS & they were all the same. Wifes Galaxy S has no such problems, my son Moto Defy has no problems & an IPhone 4 I have also has zero problems.
Is there already a report about this problem on the Nexus S official support forum?

no worries, all is good
Anyone know if this is software or hardware bug? I've aso experienced it but I've read from googling its hardware and get it replaced to a site that claimed by force closing the camera apk fixes this issue on galaxy phones...?
Ps it only happens randomly and only done tha around three times
If you have message "Camera failed"...
First of all try this: Open Camera app from the "Application manager" and do "Clear data", then restart the phone.
Second: Do a Factory reset (of course save your data!).
Third: Reinstall Android OS.
If this not help you, you have a hardware problem. You need to change the camera.
