Theres been at least 2 attempts to port Sense in the past. Both attempts were failures. That doesn't mean it isn't possible, but, even if it is done, HTC would probably be well within their rights to send a cease and desist and shut down the project anyway (because, I doubt that the license for...

remember, most people test speed by how fast quadrant runs. Best thing to do is to test them both yourself.

Yeah.. people need to stop looking at the indicator. Accuracy indicators are useless without proper RAIM/FDE implementations which the SGS is unlikely to have

This phone is approximately one year old now (so it isn't a new phone). It has a camera, but no flash. The GPS seems to be judged using GPS status or by how fast it locks, not by how well it actually performs. In regards to the quality of GPS there is so much debate over the quality of the GPS...

Personally, I've given up on the GPS.. Samsung should honestly be sued, but it is too expensive to do so. It has gotten better with newer ROM's, but, the sensitivity still appears to be a joke compared to my years old garmin forerunner. It may be good enough for some people who use it for...

It's called UNSTABLE/nightly for a reason (it isn't really tested at all). If your first reaction wasn't to switch ROM, you probably should be using stabilised roms.

It might be your rom.. What rom are you using? New ones (even stock) somehow feel better than the old ones

*facepalm* Start by reading the forums.. Secondly, start by upgrading your stock firmware to a late XW or XX. Go to samfirmware.com, they have everything you need

Simply run the apps on your phone as a blind test without knowing which rom is being run as it is. Just because quadrant runs faster doesn't mean games will run smoother, especially since it seems to only check avg performance, but not minimum or worst case performance. I might be wrong though...

Mods need to start closing some of these Quadrant threads, because, there are way too many. Quadrant scores are great, if you are simply chasing a placebo (or you want the opportunity to grow your ePenis). If you want a phone which is productive though, throw the benchmark in the bin and run a...

To be honest, none of us actually know what we are talking about.. However, I will say that in recent ROM's, I don't recall getting the occasional EXTREMELY LONG stalls. But that isn't necessarily due to the filesystem, that could be due to other changes. My advice is to stick to RFS simply for...

Even that probably isn't truly indicative of performance. Nvidia and ATI both "optimise" *cough cheat* on benchmarks. Nvidia may blitz ATI in a certain game, but another game might be optimised for ATI. 3D mark also doesn't go into enough detail about what its testing (similar to Quadrant)...

Just curious, but do you have a reference/bug link for that one?

Ok, if you only have 450 dollars, you are MUCH better off saving it then spending it on a phone whose value will depreciate rapidly over the next year, especially when NFC becomes more popular (which the Galaxy S doesn't support). In fact, if you wait 3 months, by then, it might cost $40 less...

Probably for the same reason there is no room called #hiltinailgun or #HDIdunehdmax. Because not many people want to talk about a phone 24/7. And the room would probably fill with people who are too lazy to read how to install a 3rd party ROM. And the end result would be simply sending them a...

Which developers kernels.. It might be useful to post a few examples. And what ROM versions? 2.3? 2.2.1?

Try another ROM?

Umm.. Maybe its because you were pressing the wrong keys in the first place. I'm surprised you got that combo working in 2.1 (which is what you are implying).. Also, the picture you showed I've had a few times, and I never needed a jig. You simply pull the power, use Home+Vol down+power, and...

If it is, it must be isolated to only some countries.. Really? You sure? Actually, I have to disagree with both of you. Yes, in most circumstances Quadrant scores are useless without seeing the big picture. However, I wonder if when overclocking, if there is anything that might become slower...

Has it been included on any stable firmwares yet though?

Really, which Official explanation was that? I haven't seen anywhere where Samsung mentioned the camera app. You got a reference for that? Or did it simply sound like a good reason?

Mind if I ask what test?

Forget about the number of locks.. Go for a drive and test it, or create a track

Best to give them a try (for a week or so). Many people's judgement at XDA is compromised because they run Quadrant, or they've hung around for so long that they get to know the developers and the popularity of certain ROM's. Even worse, very few people here have actually tested tested many...

Well, for starters, try going outside..

Could be anything.. Could even possibly be that the upgrade process was buggy..

I never said there wasn't. But, benchmarks are useless unless you actually know what you are testing.. Case in point, you have 1 program that does lots of writing (barely any reading), and a benchmark program. If you increase reading speed by 6%, but decrease writing speed by 5%, a benchmark...

Reliable ones? Benchmarks only test a specific workload.. You aren't testing how fast applications run, you are testing how fast the benchmark runs. There doesn't have to be a direct correlation

But what if you could have the benefits of knowing which client it was posted with, without having that crap in posts too? Surely that would be better, correct?

Nobody knows if it's a beta currently. The only person I have seen who said it's being installed at service centres WAS a samsung techie.. I still think it's a beta, or there would be reports about kies installations by now. For all we know, there are many things broken with this version that...

I can respect that, but surely, there must be better means of doing so, or at least filter them when using Quoting capabilities.. I recall seeing people get in trouble because they included the comments in their quotes (but I might be imagining it)

You seem quite sure of yourself there.. How do you know for sure?

I can't be the only one who is getting bored of every second post (at least in the i9000 forum) containing: Something should be done about it, because it's getting out of hand. 1) It makes quoting posts frustrating. It actually punishes us, because we need to manually remove the crap, which...

*sigh*. I've seen people telling others that Screen filer is the only possible reason for this problem. There can be many others.

I would say it isn't as worth it as what people say. First thing most people do after converting their filesystem is run quadrant. It's possible that improved quadrant scores don't translate to real world performance though. Even worse, running quadrant actually engages the placebo effect so...

What??????????

Actually, for builds which aren't distributed, there is no need.. I still don't personally believe this one was meant to be (as I haven't seen any reports of installations by Kies)...

I personally think this thread should be removed I'm afraid.. For starters, there are a billion other quadrant threads, and nobody has F***king bothered, as mentioned to collate the values into a table. Also, nothing is worse than breeding a culture of people who believe that Quadrant accurately...

I'd personally just use a late froyo for now. Gingerbread for me hasn't had any real advantages honestly (and my phone kept crashing at the beginning when using navigation, but stopped now, and it crashed once when enabling wifi).

You are using an unreleased version of Android which I don't think has even been included with phones yet and you shouldn't expect it to work well.. It should come as no surprise that the battery drops like a brick. There are probably many other bugs too. It doesn't mean the official copy is...

The problem is that GPS is more complicated than that.. Just because it says "5-10 accuracy", how do you know that's true? You need tracks to work that stuff out. Originally, there were a few people here who grabbed GPS status and pointed out their "GPS was perfect". But, after pressuring them...

Are you sure that ~second wait isn't because it needs to find the satelites.. You shouldn't be using lock time as a metric for GPS quality. My Garmin forerunner takes AGES to lock (longer than the SGS ever has), but when I compared the tracks, they were much better on the forerunner

Quadrant results are useful if the ONLY thing you want to run on your phone is quadrant, because that's what it tests. It's similar to how on PC's, some games prefer different video cards. It also comes down to space/speed of algorithms.. The best thing to do, is to uninstall Quadrant, and...

Honestly, haven't seen anything yet that for normal usage justifies it over 2.2 stable...

A lot can go wrong with VPN.. can you access it from pc?

Check your APN is added

It's true he never mentioned business. But he did mention STABLE roms. My point was to provide an alternative perspective. There is a growing prevalence of users pushing software which they believe is "stable", however, put the biggest peddlers of such software in a situation where your time...

Rooting will probably do nothing, except give you more privileges How did you lose your IMEI?

If by perfectly stable, you mean "no crashes", then yeah, I'd agree. It never crashed for me either. HOWEVER, if you actually USE your phone as more than a toy, good luck.. CM7 didn't even pick up the correct IMEI, camera/video recording is broken, etc. But GPS at least "works" (about as well as...

Have you actually used it in the past week?
