Hello fellow XDA'ers,
I've had my Desire HD for about 10 months & although it's perfectly fine and indeed excellent, apart from the below average battery, I just got bored.
So, a friend of mine has a SGS & I am thinking of swapping with him...
1)Will I notice the RAM difference?
2)Does the pentail screen bother much?
3)How's the sense rom on the SGS?
So what are your thoughts? Did any one convert from a DHD to SGS?
Thank you.
Dont do it! I came from galaxy s to dhd......dhd feels snappier nd much better screen. Plus the sense interface on the dhd is much better than the stupid touchwiz bull**** of the sgs.....wait until u see the browser resolution as well! Horrible....wait.....did i mention samsung's kies software? Well it suckssssss......thats when it really identifies ur phone....although i lost arnd 300$ sellng the sgs nd gettng the dhd.....im not sorry i got rid of that thng
For me SGS is much better than DHD... My gs still perfect even if it is dropped while in mine DHD there are no levers of the volume because were detached.
Perhaps you'll notice that the ram is less but this minority will be satisfied by the fantastic display Super Amoled! The GS also while having 3 megapixel less than camera of dhd take best pictures and video runs much more fluid and detailed ... Just watch it on youtube... Then gs is much more customizable in terms of hacks.
So... Make your choice...
Yeah.
Sgs is a great phone. Borrow your mates for a few days and see.

I think if you want a phone in such a range you can wait a 2-3 months as samsung is going to launch galaxy w on September 1 Berlin event it will have a 1.4 ghz single core processsor and 3.7 inch screen! If u can't wait for it thrnvuo for galaxy s as it is the best in its price range!

its still single-core, not much upgrade except the size and the overclocked cpu.

Well it depends on the rest of the specs too.
on topic, I love my sgs. The kernels, roms, upgrades, mods, it's a lot of fun to learn about and make as good as possible. I wouldn't trade it for much else. Try out your friends phone and imagine how good it could be.

Thanks for the reply guys!
The DHD is perfect, but I just got bored and want to try something new.
And I can't buy a new phone, so I am thinking of swapping it....
Guess I'll swap, & maybe we'll re-swap in 4 months again
Awesome phone but the phone is bit laggy.. anyone else facing the same problem or is it just me?
No lag for me, super smooth
I have loads of apps too
I would say its a little laggy, but anyone who comes from a Galaxy s2, like me, will say its a bit laggy. But it will get better with future updates, that I am sure of.
After doing a quick comparison today between three units, I can say the 1st two were super silky smooth whereas the 3rd demo unit (cheapest) was laggy; probably it had to much happening in the background. Ice Cream Sandwich should address this.

I recommend the V6 Supercharger script. Seemed to help for me. I'm running Sheep ROM.

It is pretty much accepted that the more's release rom, much like the galaxy s2's original rom, is laggy. It is also generally believed that like the s2, Samsung will work out all the kinks and get the note as snappy as the s2.
We will see what happens. It's not that laggy though, and its hard to notice unless you compare it directly with an s2.
So far for me lag only happens on using different launchers. Other than thy he phone is zippy as hell. Currently on XXKK9, Socrates only complains is occassional bad call quality complain from certain people I call. Some say it's great some not so.

I find the note to be very very fast.
There is some subtle studdering, when browsing, and I see no reason that wont get cleaned up on an update.
This device rocks!

It's laggy compare to my old phone, HTC Inspire which is single core,1.Ghz. I don't get it
Lag is the only thing I am not happy with Note.
For first few days it was super smooth but now i can witness some lagging.

Yes, its a little laggy.

Good advice. Just installed V6 9 RC4 with Nitro Lag Nullifier on Sheep ROM. Smoother + improvement in all synthetic benchmarks. Looks good so far. Thanks!
More tips for people complaining about lag:
- get some KK9/KKA ROM
- change CPU governor from ondemand to interactive.

i see that too
phone lagging
when you click on the msg app & phone app it takes some time to open?
i was using sgs2 before i never had this issue
hi guys,
how long does your Note needs to wake-up?
mine needs about 1,5-2sec
i go back and fourth between the Note and the S2 running the exact same setup and S2 is noticeably quicker
I just downloaded GTA 3 for Android and it is lagging like hell.. Very annoying it is so smooth on Xperia Play

Hmmm the Xperia is identical to GS+ apart from a slower clocked CPU, it just goes to show the software that samsung have stuck on this phone is dog**** and slow.
You could try the better GPU drivers for our phone have a look here.

we are stuck with it until Samsung start supporting our device more, the cheaper Galaxy W is getting all the support it needs i knew i should of bought that one instead.
1st: next time post such stuff in the Q&A thread
2nd: the first thing i noticed, other than that the whole stock software is crappy, is that RAM performance is not well customized, try using the supercharger script and set the minfrees for 512mb RAM, i think ur problem lies there.. i use the stock rom with stock kernel, i free ram with the stock task manager before launching it and GTA3 runs just fine

the hardware on the S+ is really great for a single core phone, but the software sucks, if we had a lil more developing in our section we would've had the real deal , even though there are a few custom roms out there. my friend who owns an iphone 4 always repeats the fact that he doesn't need to do anything additional to his phone and that "it just works", and we have to accept that fact, even though, with the right software we can get a better product than the iphone 4

if Apple makes a better product then we gotta admit it and give them the credits for that. there is no need for any Android vs iphone mood. Competition is healthy, it can only make our phones better.

1. This discussion belongs in the general discussion thread not in the development section.
2. Unless you intend starting a flame war I would suggest that singing the praises of a certain fruit associated manufacturer in an Android forum is not a great plan.
3. If you want to compare phones then make sure they are in the same price class. So if your going to match Android against the fruit munger phone then you need to compare with the galaxy nexus or galaxy s ii.

NO
Im playing the game right now and it runs smooth, you cant even see framedrops.
this game was made for the 9001, i only heard of people having problems with the normal galaxy. maybe you need to get your phone fixed or clear up some ram, because what you're saying is simply not true.

AFAIK GTA3 is supposed to run on devices with a dual-core processor (iPhone 4S, SGS2, Sensation etc).
I guess it's not a marketing trick (like it was in case of most "tegra only" games) and the game really needs 2 cores for runing fine and smooth.
Anyway, i dont think we lost something big
Its working perfectly on my Sensation, brilliant gameplay and smooth frame rates...
Meh I'm gonna wait for some Vice City before putting GTA on any if my phones. After Vice City was released, I can't even play GTA III anymore...

Im running Cm7 with Chainfire3d installed. It is on Glitch's kernel at 1.2 GHz. it runs well. Im already up to the 2nd island!
Has anyone's Ace randomly shut off? Like, the other day, I woke up and found my phone off (while charging) and now (while charging as well) I was using it, locked it and put it on the table to find the green battery icon it shows when the phone is off and charging.
Does anyone know whats going on? I'm not using any scripts or mods. Just Beats and Ram Manager set on normal balanced. Think its the difference in governors? I have a charging profile of 844 max performance and a normal profile of 806 ondemand.
Doubt it, but who knows.
It's the cpu... Even on my ace when I used setcpu and made some profiles the phone became very unstable instead of working more smoothly than before it became unstable
Ultimately I had to delete it and for cpu I use the cm settings

Kk, took off the performance charging profile. Now the phone is running completely ondemand. I'll see if the problem keeps happening.
I think it is though because I've had this problem before way before I knew about CPU settings. But whatever, doesn't hurt to try xD
This was happening to my wife's S2 as well and what we did was put a piece of paper behind the battery and the case to put pressure on the battery so it would stay in place. Seems to be a quick fix.

I had the similar problem when I got the phone brand new. My phone was restarting now and then. Also due to bad battery readings I thought, my battery was defected. So I got replaced in Service Centre. Took me 2 hours to fight with them and finally I won a replacement battery with an old one.
I'm saying this in your randomly turns off thread, because after replacement of battery, My phone never restarted. So This could be a battery problem too.
Another suspicion can be your CPU. Dude, Overclocking can reduce your CPU life span. Not every hardware gives the same performance as same clock. In another words, you can't say your overclocked CPU will ran flawlessly, because your friend's overclocked CPU ran 10 months without problems. I always say this, If you want to stay out of trouble of hardware problems, DO NOT OVERCLOCK CPU. You might are seeing it as "just" 44Mhz over 800Mhz. But, also you don't know whats your CPUs facing. Can you?
PS: On Performance CPU governor uses the MAX CPU clock all the time, even when its idle.
my phone randomly shuts off if i overclock beyond 825 mhz, irrespective of the rom. maybe thats whats happpening?

Let me tell you my story. My ace also turned randomly off and I didn't know what to do.
I did a research and found out that it can (CAN, not surely) be something with the wifi. Go to settings wifi settings then press menu advanced settings and then put to never.
I did it a while ago and I think it works for now.

SGSadvance has Auto-brightness and SGSIIImini no. So Which is better?
Thanks for the replies

well, S advance and s3 mini are same except in ram , s3 mini is 1gb ram , while S advance is 768mb ram , I think everything else are same
but since I own s3 mini I'll recommend it for you xD
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Aside the lack of auto brightness which can draw more battery... (I never used it on my SGSII at all) better take Mini 3, it performs better also on battery and it's not only cause of JB IMO.
Smooth, slick and ready to be moded, almost like its bigger brother, while Advance remains in shadow (not that it should be this way, but blame Samsung for not respecting promises so to push S3 Mini sales).
ps:I admit slightly curved display, musch similar to gnex is a good excuse to take Advance S, but, it is the only reason, no mater design (if you like more squared bezel).
Cheers,
Fevv.
Plus it will probably be updated more than the S Advance.

And Sgs Advance won't get it too.
I'm sorry not to say that the S Advance is bad.
But it has a lack GPU. I dunno the kernel or the GPU itself or the GPU is bad. someone said that.
And I've tried it myself. I played some games, temple run 1 lags.
I played temple run in Galaxy Wonder without no lags.
