Hi Guys,
Here in france, we only have the option of the M110S Galaxy S and not the i9000.
Since I am very interested in changing the rom to a non-touch wiz rom and since we do not have a M110S section here, does that mean that the same process etc can be used with both?
I would appreciate any help on this topic.
As far as I know the M110S is the korean version. In France as well as in Europe, they only sell the i9000. I wonder how you ended up with an M110S...
Looking at the phone specs and pictures I can't see any differences between it and the Galaxy S, so I'm curious as to why it has a different model name?....
Is it CDMA or something? As to my knowledge all i9000 are GSM, so that's the only thing I could think of.
well.. i havent bought it yet. i browsed through the website of orange and matched the pic to the m110s..
I'll have a look at it and confirm..
na we have the i9000 in France
Orange doesn't even have it yet (although there are ways to get it through shops like the phone house and all).
So far only Virgin, Bouygues/Universal Mobile have it in shop
phonehouse.com and phoneandphone.com have them.
Bought mine at phoneanphone.com and couldnt be happier.

DMB, different firmware (and hence different software, no swype, no social app, some features like swipe left/right in contacts for text/phone call are gone), I believe a different radio. DMB and a quicker Froyo launch are big wins, the rest is BS that pisses me off

Hi Chrisluffy25,
I would like to ask you what issues have you encountered when using the galaxy s m110s (korean version of galaxy S) in the philippines?
i heard there are some problems compared to using the galaxy s i9000 in the philippines.
Appreciate your inputs.
ahaha.. i said that no froyo at all but im in froyo now without rooting the phone...and oh yes!! it was a great device but as i said.. dmb tuner is useless maybe until 20 years from now..
how much do you planning to buy?
i have samsung galaxy s2 international version (gt i9100), i didn't liked s3 so i didn't buy it now s4 is an announced and it will be available in few weeks should i upgrade to s4 or not??
it's a big upgrade from the galaxy s2 so if your not interested in another phone like Htc one or sony xperia Z then you should get it , i know i will :laugh:
My note n7000 has some juice left in it so i will wait for a note 3 and youm technology.If its size fits me well then i will get a note. If note3 is any bigger than 5.9 i will simply downgrade to 4.99. Though i love my notes 5.3 display.

In the same boat.. Have the i9100 and skipped the S3. Debating between the S4, One and Z..
You should definitely update. S2 is yesterday's news. Which phone to upgrade to is your decision to make.
Definitely upgrade bro. The s2 is old news now. Two generations behind. I'm going to upgrade from an HTC One S.

If you are interested in the Samsung's technolog in S4, I think S4 is a great upgrade. HTC One or Sony Xperia Z are also another options, but my suggestion is choose S4 if you decide to upgrade.
What was it about the S3 that you didn't like? And what does the S4 have that makes it desirable over the S3? I'm sure if you answer this you'll have your answer.

I owned Xperia Z currently, has been using HTC flagship phones (Sensation/One X) also have S3.. I will be getting S4 for my wife haha...
I have a very bad experience with HTC after sales service.. might not be returning to HTC anymore.. The fool me twice..
Bought two flagship phone and was downgraded the flagship status after a few weeks owning it..
Tried Xperia Arc before now using Z, UI wise is not as nice as Sense and TouchWiz.. but acceptable with less rubbish...
I would definitely consider the upgrade if I was you. My wife has an s2 and the s4 is a massive upgrade.
Maybe not
I am using a HTC Sensation from 2 years ago, and I find the phone still able to meet most of my needs (except for the battery time :crying. I am not a crazy app user, but I do use some essential apps like camera, IM, evernote, forum, and occasional gaming as well. The phone is definitely slow compared with S3, Note 2, but does it bother me enough so i want to change my phone? NO.
I say unless you have heaps of extra cash that you don't care much for the cost, then upgrade; otherwise you can still get a good 1 - 2 years out of your S2 (which is a better phone than my sensations)
how about comming from an S3
Coming from S3, not really worth it IMHO. Most of the S4 software features will be coming to S3 in an update soon. But if you have a 2011 device like me, definitely worth it. It's a massive leap

coming from an S3...meh...I bet all of the gesture options could be available through hacks in the near future. So some people might not want to because it isn't that much of an improvement other than software. That being said, I'm the type of person that flocks to the best screen available. M personally, I would upgrade just because of the screen itself. :laugh:

I hear ya. I have an S3, and just the other day went to T-Mobile and played with the Nexus 4. Oh man that screen is so much nicer. I don't think I'm gonna stick around with Samsung screens anymore. I'll see what the S4 is about, but if its anything remotely similar to the S3 its done. IPS LCD is so nice and bright. Makes me sad to look at my blue tinted S3, even though I'm using a custom AOSP ROM with a color fix for the screen, still not the same.
I can't decide between the S4 or HTC ONE >.<
(I currently have the Galaxy S 4g, which is like 3 generations old xP!!)
Coming from the S3 I was sure to upgrade to S4 but finaly I bought a Note2:silly:

Depends on which phone you currently have now. Coming from an S3 or note 2, nope.

Just wondering, with the newer, international ROMs, what the "Increased Legibility" actually does/adds/changes, compared to the MDL versions. Thanks!

It means the fonts from 4.3, which have been refined, have been pulled and incorporated into those ROMs

I believe it just sharpens the fonts. They're not pulled from 4.3 however as this feature was incorporated by Samsung prior to any GE leaks (not to mention there are no extra fonts in the firmwares including the new feature). I couldnt notice any difference in regular use but when you zoom in quite a bit its pretty noticeable.

Hes refering to the actual Samsung feature ' Increase Legibility' under display settings that was part of the firmware upgrades like mea, mf4, & mf8. Not custom roms that are pulling the new 4.3 roboto fonts.

Samsung has introduced a small update for two of its terminals in 2013, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S4 Samsung Galaxy Mini, which will now have the so called 'Black Edition' in which the distinguishing feature is the back color leatherette black.
This finish mimics that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to be launched in September last year, but there are major changes except for the inclusion of some wallpapers and additional ringtones.
*EDIT: You have a normal i9505 still, only changes the black back cover. You can flash i9505 roms, mods and smart cases without problems :highfive:

i saw a hands on which told the black edition has LTE-A.this would mean that it is not 100% identical, but i dont know it.
btw; the definitive answer would be very interesting to me, too.
Any chance, later on, when galaxy s5 will come on market and developers play around with it, that galaxy s4 will get a rom like the galaxy s5's? I mean the better touchwiz, new settings, new toogles, etc....i just hope this will be made, cause i really don't wanna buy the S5, i don't find it a big improvement over S4 so i would love to have the S5 launcher and setting and blabla on my S4
