Anyone going to get the Galaxy S?

What does everyone think? 4" may be the sweet spot between big screen size and too big. I don't know how I feel about even less physical buttons though as I already think it is the stupidest thing ever to not have dedicated send/end, but that is just me.

Not while they've skinned Android and replaced some Google integration with Yahoo integration.

No led flash? Are you f*cking kidding me?

I like the S-AMOLED and the proper multi-touch screen. However, having used the N1, I feel that it's just about as large a smartphone as I'd like to have in my pocket.
Not having to jump through as many hoops to get it customized, rooted, unlocked, etc. is also a nice thing about being on the N1.

Why would I want that when I have an N1?

I've had a G1, and a N1, I'll wait until the next "Google" phone's out to upgrade, I think

If it gets rooted and with a stock rom i'm going for it. Samsung makes great hardware. The software sucks big time.

+10. Updates will be non existent, samsung expects you to buy a new phone if you want to update, screw that. I'll stay with nexus one.

If a good cooker like cyanogen is going to make roms for Galaxy S then why not.

Yeah I'm with you I'll wait for the new Nexus One every phone on T-Mobile that's made by HTC and only has stock Android is the phone Google uses for the next year. Thanks to Froyo the Nexus One has been the best Android phone until at least August when the Droid X gets 2.2 and gets a speed boost. Also you know that the Galaxy S will not get to use the free tethering that people with the Nexus enjoy. So to the original question NOPE

If it is rooted why couldn't you use wireless tether? Wow I did not think everyone would be so against it. Its already rooted though I thought.

If I upgrade phones from my Nexus One its going to be for these features:
- Vanilla android
- 4.3' screen
- Can use the same $50/mo even more plus T-mobile voice + data
I'm more than happy to play the waiting game with my Nexus One until this phone comes out...
If the guys at Samsung weren't so cheap to cut corners and actually included an led flash I might have considered the GalaxyS... but I can't support such obvious penny pinching cost cutting by Samsung

I love its GPU power and the Super-AMOLED, but for me to go from the N1 I need :
dualcore
>WVGA
stock android

I don't expect that for another 6 months or so, so I'll be keeping my Nexus One until then
The Galaxy S is also plasticky and ugly

HTC are usually more high quallity feeling. feel more durable then the cheap feeling easyy to break and brick galaxy. Aosp because its light. Has better things to do. More customizeable and user friendly.

Stop being a troll Kevin. EVERYONE'S heard of the Android Source Open Project. Wait... what?

I'm a fan of both. Have both Samsung and HTC, I however have more Samsung devices. Always been a fan since I got the Captivate. I'll be buying both brands though. And I am more for AOSP as well, lighter and more to do like you mentioned.

When I read the abbreviation, I always read it as Asop in my head, even though I know what it stands for. It's just easier than trying to pronounce it the other way.

I like to play games and I am a bigger fan of this game........Playing game is one of mine favorite Hobby.....I have played so many games and all that games are mine favorite...Battlefield 3 and Angry Birds are two most of mine favorite game.....

I think I like cm7 because it would take less than a whole day to repo sync grrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew someone who bred them. You couldn't walk across his lawn without falling over one. They were enormous buggers though and would eat 20lbs of vegetables a night, before eating all the remaining grass and deposing the remains for cleaning up the next day.
True story!

I Like MIUI this is so cool

Samsung, with ASAP SOAP SOPA AOSP. I like HTC too, but they've become boring, and they're pumping out "new" models every single week.

MIUI FTW. Messed around with CM9 beta, but likely MIUI v4 will be my golden ticket.
I like Moto hardware, but I don't like the bloat VZ throws on top of it.

Yes, the minor 7th has much more character to it than a plain minor chord.

I prefer Samsung phones, but might give HTC a try later this year.

I have always had HTC phones but always had dust/dead pixel issues with all of them..there screens on there phones are put together poorley ..I finally gave up on them an went with Samsung..from the nexus s to the Samsung epic touch..i do like sense ..but thas it with HTC...

CM vs MIUI whats ur pick and why

Lets compare user experience on both these awesome roms
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

None, why? Because this should be in Android forums, thats why.

MIUI = Fail.
kthnxbai

CM is the best

CM. MIUI just seems to change everything, it's too eye-candy'ish when I just want to unlock the screen instead of pull something seperate down and wait for the animation etc.

MIUI just offers a good UI.its buggy and quite unstable for gaming

Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

Bah, I don't get all the "iPhonish" complaints about MIUI. How many people even use the stock launcher on the default Rom, let alone custom Roms like CM or MIUI? Cry me a river =p
Anyway, MIUI has been far more consistently stable for me than any other Rom I've tried, and this is especially true on Galnet. Theming is simple and I find it very easy to customize status bar, framework, etc. Also love the ease of customization of notifications and LED settings. Works perfectly with my overclock and V6 settings. Yep, I'm a MIUI fanboy just like many in here already are clearly CM7 lovas.
The gauntlet has been tossed at your feet, gentlemen!

I love 'em both. MIUI looks good, it has some very good built-in apps(music, dialer, messagaing and what not) etc., but CM has way better performance.
I'd say CyanogenMod anyway. My phone has a crappy processor and a crappy GPU, so I need a rom with good performance...

Not sure... Both are based on CM (you noobs), so the perfomance is great on both ROM's. I don't like the MIUI launcher but i like the rest, like the notification bar, the settings menus and so on.

QFT. I've seen many change their tune once they've actually ran a stable build, and for more than an hour, at that. MIUI has a lot of great built in control and features, and the easy - yet extensive - theming is a huge bonus.
Either way, I'm all AOSP. In the end, that's what I see being the main thing. Always been a big CM fan, though. Love me some options.
Sent from my KF

currently neither... I'm on the rezound
now if we're talking about a while ago... I'd pick both. they're apples and oranges, and I've used both to much satisfaction.

The games i play give a better performance on cm rather than miui so i prefer cm

MIUI for our beloved N4: finally?

Hey MIUI fanatics out there!
Last night, I stumbled on this post on G+:
https://plus.google.com/103335486449456213484/posts/DHeDAbUeVsQ
The guy clearly runs a full blown android 4.2.2 MIUI rom on his GNex, which is pretty exciting, cuz a port to our device shouldn't be that difficult at this point. Or is it...?
Well, thought I had to share this. Let's keep our fingers crossed...
Regards.

Not a big fan but its nice to have options

MIUI on any device is like running a port of a port on a port of a port that was ported from a port that only works right 68% of the time. No thanks.

(Sarcasm caution)
What is miui..?
I've seen it mentioned since the nexus s days, never run it on a phone.

Not my thing..

Lol okay obviously I'm the only one who's excited

People here usualy poo-poo MIUI, although they will claim anywhere else that Android=choice... Don't worry too much about this logic issue

OP, if you look at the MIUI forums, they have launched beta builds for Gnex and believe me there are a lot of bugs now. Once, it passes onto stable, someone or I might port it for mako.

Miui is always lagging way far behind Google on Android versions. And the version that they are on is usually very bug ridden. I like it but I hate dealing with major bugs, little bugs don't bother me to much.

Well, I ve tried V5 on the i9000, and it s simply so slow it cannot be used.
I also tried on the i9300, and it is quite nice over there, so there's hope.
But I agree, it is not as fast as a nice aosp/cm 10.1/AOKP ^^.
I like how different it looks, and weither I ll use it for a long time or not, well, let's see!
I d give a spin to iOS if it were ported, just for the sake of running it on the N4, ahha

You should look into the reason they are poo-pooed....they are a china development house and do alot of shady things. But you seem to have the logic part down so you'll not need to Google or anything.

I cannot wait to try MIUI on my Nexus 4. I been waiting for it since I bought my phone.

Why are people hating on this phone?

I've had it for two weeks now and I just don't get the hate. I mean it's no Galaxy S3 but the phone does it job, and well. People have complimented me a lot on how beautiful the phone looks, and especially the screen. Gaming is very good on this device, I can play games that I couldn't play on the Xperia Play (which was marketed as a gaming device) and it has a lot of great features. It has a inbuilt task manager which works really well, so I can't understand people complaining about the phone lagging. It hasn't lagged for me once and I'm using A LOT of heavy apps like Facebook, FB messenger, Whatsapp, Twitter, Viber, Instagram and Skype. And if the phone would lag you can just use the task manager and it kills the apps which a lot of other phones can't do well. When I read this forum section y'all scared me to dead and I honestly think some of you are a bit overdramatic about this phones performance. For a $200 phone, this is a great device. The only flaws are the battery life and the speaker. Multitasking is great, gaming is great, Browsing is smooth, camera is excellent and it's just does it job...
Is there something else I'm missing? How is this such a bad phone as some are claiming it to be?

Probably the biggest gripe with the phone is how hard HTC made it to dev for. The guys that can get stuff to work on JB ROMs are amazing. Getting sound to work is a real pain, data and WiFi are difficult to get working. It is totally cool if you leave it stock, although there is a lot of bloat (typical of all phones) and the "android is upgrading 4 of 120" gets very tedious. But I agree with you, the phone itself looks good, it has lots of nice features. I was happy with stock for the longest time, but ran into some really weird problems that have never happened to anyone else. Now I am S-Off and running a 4.2.2 (Jellybean) ROM and loving it.

Also this phones build quality is terrible. My power button is already broken and the volume buttons are losing their chrome

I'll say this about the phone - with a custom JB 4.2 ROM (like the unofficial AoCP ROM floating around) this thing is a beast. I mean that in a good way. It's fast ... 4G LTE speeds are phenomenal ... no lag that I can detect, no soft reboots (or hard reboots like with CM 10.2 on the Samsung Captivate, one of which I also have), the rear camera is adequate, and so far on mine all of the buttons still work. (It used to be my daughter's, then it sat in a drawer for more than six months because 4.0.4 ICS and Sense 3.6 didn't really seem to get along, but hey, it was cheap :silly.
AoCP's 6.2 (JB 4.3) for the Cappy is quite nice, and I wish it could be ported over to the Vivid. I like the animations for the information windows and menus, but on the Cappy it really began dragging. No such problems with the Vivid. Although it's an older phone, for me it represents an upgrade. Will I wind up getting another, newer phone in the future? Possibly. For now, though, I like the Vivid.
