[Q] Proposal to merge all Galaxy S family into 1 neat and big sub forum

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764084

this has been discussed before. Not many thought it was a good idea since there are some differences between the galaxy S phones depending on your carrier. I for one don't want to waste my time reading through topics that don't pertain to the Captivate. Nor do i want to keep searching for a subforum when this is already in place and easily found. Again, not many people will know to look for Galaxy S instead of Captivate or Vibrant.

Agreed. If the SGS really was the same phone across all carriers it would make sense to merge all the sub-forums but seeing as how there is separate development going on for the Captivate vs. Vibrant (and soon the Epic as I'm sure things will work different with the hardware keyboard being the biggest difference)...

I would propose a shared general and themes & apps forum for all SGS users, because the hardware is similar enough that regular software is cross compatible. The development forums should be separate though, because each developing environment is different enough to have different fixes.

Agreed.

And actually when this was discussed before the majority of people thought the forums should stay combined. It was even put to an official vote (the consolidation option won) that was then ignored before the forums were split.

# shakes head in confusion

Sent from my captivate

^bump^

as i don't have any Mod power to make it a sticky, much less make the original topic cross posted across the 5 SGS forums

i think this is a great idea......if you click the link, they already have each of the development sections separated by each model, but the general, accessories, and themes sections are all put together as a "galaxy s" section. The accessories may not work so well since many of the cases and such will be different, but for the Themes section it will be great. It will allow things such as all the Vibrant fonts, swype themes, etc to be easily used on the captivate (for newbs like me that don't want to browse all the forums and test things that may work).

Actually the accessories look the same...I think even for the Epic the dock for example is the same..the only thing that will vary is pouches and cases...but thats pretty minor...and I doubt anyone will confuse it...

The case design for the Captivate is different from the Vibrant. I tried a body glove for the Vibrant and it was way to tight.
