Differences between Galaxy S

I noticed that there are differences between galaxy s.
The galaxy of my girlfriend has the camera with a different quality, lower. It recognizes the fact that if you look at the sensor, my, have color amber, while lower, has green tinges water-blue. The difference of quality is fairly sharp, especially with low light.
In addition, the feedback of soft touch buttons on my girlfriend's phone is much stronger, while mine are much low.The vibration, has exactly the same intensity on both phones.
The tests I made ​​using the same rom on both phones.
The galaxy of my girlfriend had the combo of the 3 keys locked, while my no.
The phones are both Italian.
What do you think? You can try other galaxy?
I used google translate for post this, pls reply in english simplified.Thank you!

haptic feedback and the cam quality.. well mate it can never illustrate that your girlfriend has a different Galaxy S .. maybe her phone has some camera problem, and the vibration intensity, she might have a different firmware (rom) installed in her phone!
plus for verification you can go to SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE and compare the model number.. i hope it helps.. take care and have a good day!

oh well that's not a big issue.. take a chill pill!

Me and both my parents have galaxy S I9000's and I've noticed this too! Haptic feedback of the soft keys is low on one and high on another. It seems, after I just wiped my phone and updated to the latest version of miui, my soft keys also have really weak haptic feedback. It's odd but it must be a bug, I'm going to odin flash a stock Samsung firmware then cwm flash miui and see if it fixes it. I can't believe more people haven't noticed this?!

For the camera now i'm sure....Green camera's quality are lower.
I've tested 5 galaxy s with green camera, and i'm sure.
My photo test here: androidiani.com/forum/samsung-galaxy-s-i9000/69818-esistono-differenze-tra-2-gt-i9000-4.html
For haptic...it's complicate...My phone works well on MIUI/CM7, but, if i flash samsung rom, the trouble come back.I tried with alla rom..
I think that my phone worked fine when I bought it, but since I used odin, the feedback has not returned the same...
Mee too, I can't believe more people haven't noticed this... The question of camera are very important...

Well about the screen their isnt differences in screen , its just that they degrade acvording to how u use it. AMOLED screens are made of organic materials so they degrafe according to how u use it. If u have a blue wallpaper on 1 sgs for 3 monyhs and a green one on the anothrr ull notice the first ones colours degrading a bit slowly, and then their will.be damp patch soon.

No ............

i think they have different roms since their status bar icons are different . . . don't you think?

Both phones are using stock jvt. No matter what rom is on phones displays are always different, even on 2.1 wich came with both phones.

[Q] Colors on the Nexus 4's Screen

Hey Guys .
I just Bought a LG NEXUS 4 ! I was with the HTC one x before !
and the question that I want to Solve is That When I picked it up I found the colors really bad on the screen ! the Colors Or like not as sharp as they would be On a 720p screen .
So I was Wondering if that's Normal ! if That's the case with all the nexus 4s out there Or it's just my screen ??
I'm also experiencing the pinch-zoom delay (not responsive) ! I'm runing official Android 4.3 .
So I would like to know if Rooting and installing a custom rom on My Nexus 4 will Solve any of these "litlle issues" or it's just the same for all the other nexus devices Out there ??
Thanks for your answers . Good luck

I've been thinking of switching from One X to nexus 4 myself I'd like to steal ur thread a bit and ask the same question, is nexus 4 screen much worse than the One X?

colors can be improved by flashing a custom kernel like franco or faux or any kernel based on this two or that support gamma control
you can find colors spreadsheet heres the link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoDp2qRui0u0dGE4T2gtSDBTRHVFSldPS2RrX1Rya0E#gid=6
and can set color by that or can manually figure out which suits you
and about pinch to zoom that is what pinch to zoom is made by google it will be like that in gallery and i suppose chrome
you wont see that delay in firefox or other
hope i helped

The pinch-to-zoom delay is one of the most annoying things of the N4. I can't believe they didn't "fix" this.
And please don't suggest me Firefox. I hate it.

i'm not suggesting anyone anything i'm just trying to make a point that it works fine on that but not in gallery etc so its not a hardware problem or like that only if someone ever can find where those values are and can change them the delay can be fixed

I suggest you to stay with the ONE X !! cause not only the screen is better !! but also the camera is Much better and the HTC sense is Great !! I miss it so much .
So really stay with the One x ! or at least Wait for the Nexus 5 .

Thanks
Thank You Guys for your support and Help . :good:

My sister got the One X and the color are absolutely sh** in my opinion.
The colors on the screen are like dead.
We also did a youtube video comparison and my N4 beat my sisters One X in aspects like sharpness and color. (yes full brightness).
Im completely stock.
Just want to put it out there.

For me personnaly, the One X screen is way better sharper
Its True that the nexus 4's us brighter.
But the color reproduction is way better on the One X screen
And also the camera is better on the One X !! Defenetly.
And Im sure that a lot of you Will agree with me.
But whatever.. Each one has his own préférences so.
I still got the One X and side to side with the N4. The difference is noticable.

The One X has over saturated colors. Stock 4.3 is much closer to natural colors. I don't have any issues with pinch zoom with a custom kernel. Camera on the One X is much better. The screen color issues you guys see I think are similar to those coming from Samsung devices with super over saturated AMOLEDs.

Initial thoughts just received it

I still have my non rooted note 2. I had a nightmare reinstalling my back ups the ones on my memory card could be found .Thank for my phone explorer that saved the day for some .
Also Kies didn't work with this at all it days I need a new version which I could find.a whole day wasted so far .(this is one area where iPhone is leaps above.)
Seems to take longer to turn on.
Overall I like it and the back is good non slippery.
Haven't had time to check it all or the pen apps but I few things I notice .
No Polaris office but there's a Polaris viewer only but I can't find it in the apps.no radio.and the my files manager seems complex.
I have a gps app called Osmand from my old note and the maps where on the sd card but it doesn't seem to find it.
In fact only my music and photos where recognized none of the data or backups where recognized.
I'm using nova launcher but the touch wiz is real fast now .
Screen is great too early to tell about battery .
Haven't tested the camera yet .
But one bug thing for me exchange active sync is white and Grey now much better to see.
The one thing that has left a bad taste is the back ups I used my back up pro to my memory card plus even nova back up couldn't be found but Kies has to be rewriten.
Please ask any questions and I'll try to help as I still have my old note.
Also my bookmarks didn't come over using the standard samsung browser en en though it's synced.
Sorry if this post is disjointed just wanted to update you all

Some questions
Hi mate, I want to ask you about the speaker performance (sound volume and quality) of Note 3 compared to Note 2 because there are some contradictions between which one is better and also about the sensitivity of touch screen and stylus! Don't forget to update us about the battery performance of your Exynos powered Note 3 and contrast it with your Note 2! Thanks and have fun with it:good:

just want to confirm. any missing s-pen feature when changing to nova launcher from stock tw?

What about this? Does your box have this sticker?

Its been abt 12 hours I m using Note 3 and have been a user of Note 2 also the speakers are better then Note 2
Plus its placed beside charging point which is very good and the sound is very clear unlike Note 2 where keeping it on a table blocks the sound and makes it choppy
I loved the Keyboard its superb
Over all the device is very fast not lagged even once so far half the Ram free if all apps are closed
The Touch is very responsive and the screen is flat
One more thing this device is not for some one who wants more flexiblty as its little big and ideal if used with 2 hands
Hope this helps

Jeez, I cannot believe we still live in an era where native browser support does not have flash capabilities ... this will be rather sad coming from the HTC One that I have had stolen from me which had its native browser load flash FLAWLESSLY and without ANY lag ANYWHERE within the Sense UI or otherwise....

3rd Update removed the Lock effect

Haven't totally verified it, but it looks like Samsung took away the Lock effect, watercolor, which gives the nice water sound and lets you splash around the colors on the opening lock screen. Will find out more tomorrow, anyone else experiencing this same option missing ?

another guy in the other ota update thread mentioned the same thing.

I can confirm that it did in fact remove the effect on the lockscreen... What in the world... That was a nice feature. Mind you it lagged beastly for such a powerful device. (Specs sheet wise)
PS: I can definitely see a noticeable difference in speed. It might be just for the time been. But i'll keep you guys posted.

There is something about that water effect that causes more lag than it should. I noticed on my first generation Note 10.1 that disabling it improved speed on the homescreen and even typing. It shouldn't, but it did. When I noticed this I asked two other guys and they were having issues with lag. I told them to disable the water effect. Both also agreed that it improve the speed of the device as a whole.
Doesn't make any sense. I was, however, glad to see the ripple effect gone. It is beautiful though (less the lag)

Why do they take it away...regardless...

If indeed it cause lagged, why not just give the option of the three effects on the lock screen and add, an off feature and let the user of the tablet decide if they want it off or not. They also, have bugs in the high end graphics games crapping out. They also have cause the S-voice to crash when you ask certain questions, they also have contacts created with action memo failing to keep first and last names apart. I will do a video on all this nonsense and post it on youtube. Hopefully, Samsung will see it and respond with some sort of fix for all this stuff, and maybe just maybe they will put back the ripple effect and let us chose if we want it or not. And by the way Samsung if your reading this, your tablet still is laggy at times even with this ripple effect turned off.

almost ready to return tablet ...cant take samsung and the way they do the updates. total disregard for the user, not fixing the real bugs instead taking away a feature that I found to be quite soothing and liked very much. just frustrating company. I will do a video tomorrow and lets see how samsung responds to my doozy of a video.

Ok, well Im wondering what lag you guys are referring to. My point was that all samsung had to do was give an option to turn off, the effect, for those that wanted to, and they could have stated it makes the tablet slightly if any faster. Anyway, Believe it or not, I was able to add it back in for those who like to use it and guess what the lag issues are still fixed. The app is called galaxy locker here is the link and it works like a charm.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxy

I wonder if part of the reason for turning it off was for the multiuser cause they needed to make the lock screen more like AOSP?

I thought I was going insane when I turned my tablet on and the watercolor effect was gone. I am hoping they bring it back or at least replace it with something better-looking than the current Tab 3 lock screen.

Do you guys have a slight delay when you press the home button on the note until it lights up to the lockscreen? Mine is smooth are silk once I pass the lock screen but I still have that slightly delay

My has about a 1 second delay. That is a little improved with the last update. I'm all for them taking out the eye candy like that lockscreen effect and focusing on the basic speed and quality of the apps.

Every samsung device I've ever used has this home button delay. Even though the hardware has gotten exponentially faster and the OS has become more and more optimized. At this point it's not a delay anymore, it's a feature.

Lol.. ok cool I was just checking. It's not a big deal. Once you're in I'd say it's definitely snappier since third update

Scrolling Screen Capture Port from Note 5?

This is a super cool feature that's exclusive to the Note 5 for no good reason... I'd love to be able to take scrolling screen shots on my edge+ but I'm not aware of a way to do that.
Does anyone know if there's a way to port this apk or something? Thanks everyone!

It is already on your phone as Screen Write and all the libs are there too, but you need a pen to activate it which you can't since s pen doesn't work with your device
