Thumbs up how confy are u with the Galaxy 3

Hi
i have been a very long time HTC user i had a Gene & Jade(both wimmo) and i do have a Tattoo i recently got my Galaxy 3 and i wanted to share my experince with this phone Viz HTC and wanted to also know what the others feel thats all

Here goes

1. not too happy with the battery is seems to be giving me less life than the
other Phones i have used only around 1 1/2 days and now my use is much less than it used to be

2. the touch screen i feel is not all that smooth as my other phones

3.and doing simple things like wiping ur phone hard reset seem to be a little
difficult it was much easier on my old phone ie i mean no codes bla bla
4. wifi connection is not too good on my other phone at home i get full wifi bar connecting to my home wifi on this phone i just seem to get 2 bars
and im talking about just about 10 feet away from my wifi modem that all

5. and Mobile internet this phone to my knowledge does not have a way to disconnect the mobile date i had to use the APNdroid to keep it off on my other phones i can long press the end call key i will get a pop up and i scroll down and make sure that it is off this is not their on this phone

6. Flashing well im crazy about flashing my phone and i love to do it

a. i dont see any cooked roms for this phone
b.using the Odin seems to be a little confusing for me on my tattoo i just need to put the Rom on my SD
go to the recovery and flash from SD this i think is not possible on this phone or is it

on the win mo phone it is just using an app called costume RUU i just need to put the NBH file in that connect my phone to PC and do what the app says and bang i got my new rom flashed

hey alfter all i have used HTC for a long time so it might be getting used to this phone but i was just stating my exp

Kindly also share your exp so we can all get to know this phone better
DONT ASK QUESTIONS HERE just share ur experience on this phone

Thanks

great phone! earlier I was thinking about the low res screen and low grade cpu and thinking that perhaps better I should have gone foe optimus one or X8 but there are beefits of getting a samsung like the fantastic audio quality, and good video player

The cpu is enough for daily use , while the screen is one of the best 240 x 400 units I have seen, Just compare it with Wildfire to see what I mean

Its important to consider the price when evaluating this phone. I got mine for 25 CAD.

Same.. I paid $210CAD with no contract for mine - New.

For a phone running Android 2.1 with nearly all the same features as the $500-$600 phones, I couldn't pass it up.

Sure, it doesn't have the same size or resolution screen, but it's a decent size and the swype feature works regardless of how small the screen is.

Overall very impressed with this phone.

I think LG OO is for the same price and you will get better GPS (Qualcomm), much better display (similiar to i3gs), RAM 512 Mb which means 2x more (faster), and no customization.

I think for 200 euro you can buy better phone. I don't understand how can Samsung release one device for more then 200 € with so much bugs )

issues with wifi, gps and display ?? why this resolution ?? Only one advantage is the google's android but I do not use any of samsung applications or widgets.

Many cheaper phones have better screen resolution.

that is what i did and on comparing the specs looked really better but some how i dont feel the power of the much higher CPU
but Yes this audio if far far better than any HTC phone i have used Yes i do agree to this

Yeah, the LG OO didn't come out till over a month or two after I got my Galaxy 3 (It's $50 cheaper too).. Kinda sucks, but oh well.

I've had a lot of problems with LG phones - my friend's LG Eve is a piece.. They refused to upgrade to Android 1.6 even - stuck on 1.5.. the community had to release 1.6 and 2.1/2.2 for it since LG wasn't. The screen on that phone looks wayyyy nicer than my Galaxy 3..

Having said that, I'd still prefer a phone that's getting updates - at least it shows they're somewhat trying. Plus the bugs I have either have work-arounds, or are pretty minor.

Are you sure about "fantastic audio quality"? Anyway I use earphones or external speakers, my old nokia e56 had much better audio output. I think this 240x400 is one of the worst. LG OO has much better resolution and many cheapers phones too. If they leave the resolution as on galaxy spica and it has 512 Ram, then it's superphone. But not with samy firmware. LG didn't change anything with android and I think it's much better.

I don't use their TW because it's not stable with app2sd, and without app2sd it has only about 170Mb space for your applications. Thanks to JP9 I can use app2sd + I use LauncherPro and many other applications which make this phone usable and stable.

Who did realeased JP9 ?
