Okay - so I'm a little confused. I have, from what I understand (at least according to the box!), a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, model number GT-I9000M. What I can't decipher, is which forum I should actually be following for my phone - this one for the Galaxy S I9000, or the Samsung Vibrant.
Could someone please clarify?
Your phone is closer to the i9000 than it is to the tmo vibrant. Therefore, this is the right forum to be in.

don't ever put the USA vibrant ROM firmwares on your I9000M it will die
... as long as you have the warranty you can always send it in for repair, if you did accidentally flash USA vibrant to the I9000M.

Hi, I live in Mexico, and I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S but i'm not sure what version should i get, the International i9000 (8GB) or the ATT Captivate (16GB).
I know the Captivate can now be unlocked and this should work with no problems with my carrier since they work on the same network, but i'm not sure how customizable this device can get compared to the i9000.
I would like to use it with LauncherPro (to be more vanilla) and remove all the ATT Stuff and of course to LagFix-it. Also i don't really care about not having a front facing camera on the Captivate.
On design i really like the back of the Captivate (with its metallic battery cover), on contrary to the i9000 that feels a lot more plastiky.
So, i hope your advices can help me decide wish version of the Galaxy S I should get. All I want is not to get abandoned by not being able to update it when new versions of Android get released. If ATT don't update it anymore I hope the community does it.
I'd go with the captivate (but being in the captivate forum, I assume you'll here that a lot)
Much of the i9000 stuff can be ported over, if not directly flashed, the i9000 only has three, rather than four buttons, the captivate looks better as well. You don't care about the ffc, so yeah. I'd go captivate.

The Captivate.
Beautiful design, great specs, Unlocker Available and good support!
Which 3g band is available fir you? U know that they are two different phones. I9000 has more devs since this phone is released all around the world. Captivate is limited in the US and soon to be canada. I have a captivate. Captivate looks better i think. But if i could have good 3g where i am at with i9000 i get that. Just my 2 pesos.

I was at one of the Samsung conventions in Toronto about 2 months ago were I was lucky enough to win Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant
Model is GTI9000HSB
Was wondering if anybody was familiar with this model, is it possibly that its factory unlocked?
(me and wife both use Bell so I couldn't try it out with other carrier sim cards)
Nobody....?
How about the Vibrant forum .
jje
I know that the Infuse and the Galaxy S i9000 have the same partition tables; not sure about the S II though.
Ayway, I know the hardware is different, but does this development make it any more feasible that 4.0 could/would be available in the Infuse someday?
Thoughts?
hello everyone
i'm getting the galaxy note very soon, i know that the n7000 is the international model, i also searched to see if there is another model and i found the i9220,
i want the international model not any other model (happened to me when i bought the galaxy s ii i9100, and it was replaced with i9100G model), so i called
the salesman and asked him to ask what version does samsung provider in my country sell, he replied that it is the "n700", not n7000, "n700", and said that they may mean the n7000, i searched in google and it seems that "n700" is really there (i couldn't find any picture for it) so my question is what is the difference between these three models? does the n700 even exist? and can i use any of these model's' roms in the other two models?
thanks everyone
Hello darkelfa2,
The Samsung Galaxy Note is called N7000 or i9220.
Those are surely the same.
I've googled but the Galaxy N700 does not exist.
This is a mistake of the salesman.
If you want to go sure, that you're buying the right model, give a look at this:
amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Unlocked-Android-Smartphone/dp/B0061YRDX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326991931&sr=8-1
Sorry for my bad english...
Schnizel.
thanks for the fast reply,
so, you mean that n7000's roms 100% work on the i9220 and vice versa? is that right?
n7000 = i9220, so yes
i9220 is the prototype of n7000. all galaxy note's that can bought are surely N-7000
but i9220 can be seen as an alternative description/product code.
So, yes all Roms for i9220 ARE working on N-7000 and all N-7000 Roms an a i9220.
xD

be careful i have a i9220 and it is not a note it does not have an S-pen which is what i wanted in the note, but, as far as the rom's i am not sure about that if they are compatable i would like to know so i can buy an S-pen and try to see if this will work on it
I bought a Galaxy Note from Telus yesterday, and I'm trying to figure out how I can root it and perhaps install the CM9 alpha since the official ICS rom isn't out for it yet. I'm not really sure where to start, however, as the kernel version in About Phone shows as 2.6.35.11. No letters.
This is my first Samsung phone, as I've historically been an HTC user, so please be gentle. I have plenty of experience with flashing HTCs, but Samsungs seem to be a bit different.
Edit: oops, looks like I should be in the (yuck) AT&T Galaxy Note forums over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1493 .
Since you have one of these Telus Galaxy Note can you tell me how much carrier "crap" is on it? Here in the US AT&T loads the phone with a lot of crap and custom apps, also start logos etc. I don't like that and I remember buying in the past a droid from Telus and had no crap on it. Thanks

I have no bloatware on mine (that I can tell), there is a Telus start-up screen when powering on though.
Guys you're in wrong forum this is for n7000 international version of the note.
