Newbie introduction and one happy Galaxy S owner!

Hi guys,
Been a long time reader but a first time poster! Kudos to the forum as its been more then useful many times when i had problems.
I am Australian currently in Germany. And just last week got the Samsung Galaxy S, unbranded and unlocked. Love that SAMOLED screen!
Have to say that i had no problems until now with GPS as its been spot on since day one. Using Copilot 8. Not sure if it was first batch of phones that was affected or what but mine seems to be as i said spot on. I dont use google navigation so can not comment on that.
Also i am photographer so i will be looking into bringing some hight quality wallpapers, if there is still someone out there preferring them over the live wallpapers
Cheers
Vlad

Nope, not photo funia. Thats a camera kinda app, the app i'm thinking of is like a interactive ebook for photographers with help on settings ,f stop calcs and stuff like that. Prob best photography app I found (not camera)
Ahh, Found it, "PhotoFluent" 1.0.2

I've chopped two photos and they do look stunning on this SAMOLED screen!
Problem is i cant post the url to my flickr account
Cheers

You'll learn to cut and paste soon enough on android otherwise theres heaps of cut and paste 3rd party apps on MARKET. I have yet to look into it, Maybe someone who has can recommend some good ones?

Being a new member thats my problem, limited with posting url's
Hrm is this time limited or post limited?

What about heat production? Does it get hot when using apps like navigation, or when you're charging it?

I don't have any technical specs other than that it's definitely Gorilla Glass. It doesn't like my fingerprints though, that's for sure!

Yes there are some fingerprints on there but not loads and loads. I don't think it's too different from other phones currently on the market, definitely not 100% oleophobic.

[POLL/Q] How many Devs will move to the Note II?

Hey Folks!
Knowing that there actually is the "one and only - everything belongs here - Master - Uber - Thread" for Note II stuff, I woke up this morning suddendly being such a shamless guy who thinks, that this topic deserves an own thread!
As it became very important for my purchasing habit to know if there will be a developing community (and I think that I´m not alone with this strange thoughts), I would like to ask the devs, cooks, themers etc. if they see any (great) future for the Note II and if they are planning to switch or at least to "touch" the Note II in near future.
If this poll should become reliable, I would like to ask everyone who is NOT working on ROMs or Apps to NOT touch the poll :highfive:

Hehe, okay this is very encouraging :cyclops:

gonna report the thread as its well known that theres one already to post everything about note 2... why wouldnt they develop for note 2? most devs does have and support several devices at once
and therese already a note 2 dedicated forum
Tapatalking on my N7000

I don´t know if you have read the content of this thread, but I´m pretty sure that hardly any dev will look into the general thread...and furthermore: it is not possible to start a poll when I´m not the OP of a thread. And it would become hard to get an insight about the number of devs interested in the Note II when this question is asked in a all-you-can-think-of-thread.

I have seen a couple threads closed because note2 general thread that I did not agree with. Putting them in a general thread gets them burried and then no one sees them. Rubber stamping note2 threads is not a good solution. Unfortunately I think this thread is well suited for the Note2 General thread.

+1 , spot on nianfur

Would be nice to know, which devs will be continuing support, perhaps they could simply tell us in their rom, thread , but then again look how old the s2 is and the dev is still full on. That's what's so great about xda, even the old hd2, HTC diamond and desire hd have lots of development, often lots of the new updates in the later models can be ported across, ie we have some s3 elements likewise the same will happen with the note 2.

Cover page description error

Hi,
No idea where to post that, i've tried hard to find a "report error" link, but without success...
On the presentation page of the OPO, i read that:
The OnePlus One is the first smartphone developed by new start-up company OnePlus. It was released in April 2014, marketed as the "2014 Flagship Killer". The device sports a 5.5" 1080x1920 JDI display. It's powered by a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB of RAM. Storage comes in at either 16GB or 64GB. Other features include a 13MP camera, 3100mAh battery, dual stereo speakers and StyleSwap replaceable back covers. On the software side, the OnePlus One runs a version of Cyanogenmod with a unique modified user interface.

However, while it's a huge lie from Oneplus, the OPO does not feature any stereo speaker. Just two mono speakers wired on the same mixed channel. Considering that my only two choices where HTC M8 and OPO, for this feature, i was quite disappointed when i got mine :|

What we're saying is that this topic didn't really deserve creating a new thread, there's no way to improve it. If you'd like to give an in-depth review of the device there's a thread for that right here in the General Section that you've posted this thread in.
