(Q) Should I get this phone? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need a new phone for work, could someone please tell me if this phone can keep up with:
Typing 3 words a second (quite a few phones can't keep up with my speed unfortunately.)
Slight drops, maybe from 4ft on a floor as hard as rubber tarmac (like in children's playgrounds)
Slight water resistance (a few drops on the screen)
My s2 survived for 4 months of this usage, along with about a year of normal usage.
Can this phone cope? Thank you ever so much !

In that case there are many more cheaper options available. However, if you want a phone of at least this caliber, I suggest you to get an SII again.

AW: (Q) Should I get this phone?
You can tey the Samsung xcover. It's an outdoor amartphone

I wouldn't recommend. A friend of mine got one and received constant force closes in all application after flashing a new firmware. This is the second case I'm aware of.
Nowadays I would buy a Xperia with native CM10 support.

Recommend this over the S2

Who's content with their Note?

I absolutely love mine!!! I won't be upgrading to the Note 2, I just don't see any valid reasons to. Everything I've ever wanted on a phone...the Note has got it. Besides... I love the capacitive buttons are awesome when lit up in a dark room. I'm not a fan of the physical button. The only thing from keeping this phone has being labeled "perfect" is the lack of a notification light. :/

I completely agree. I love my note and everything runs perfect. I even have the galaxy note 2 gallery and pop up video player on mine with a sick theme. I will post the gallery and video with instructions in the apps and theme section. Also I wide love to see more activity in the forums as far as posting home screens for ideas and general info

Im happy with the note and when the note 2 comes out alot of mods will be ported over.I also hate the physical home button which was one of the reasons i took the s3 back to get the note. I do too wish the tmobile forum had more action but since tmobile came out with the note so long after at&t and then took it off the shelves im not shocked.But i love this phone

So far, I am pleased with the original Note..... But a few quibbles I've noticed: It's a little jerky at times (not nearly as smooth as wife's GS3 running same OS)..... I figure it must be because only 1GB of RAM... Also on wifi calling it doesn't always hang up the phone and on occasion, hasn't let me answer an incoming call either.... Maybe jellybean will fix some of these issues? (assuming we get jellybean). Overall I'm pleased and am glad I did not wait for the Note 2 (screen will be too narrow IMO) I like surfing the web in portrait mode

I might upgrade to the Note 2 because of this;
Wacom-designed stylus with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, which is four times more than the original version.

No way man. 1GB of ram is plenty. Gotta be something else. I have multiple devices, phones/tables, with 1gig of ram. The only reason there would be a lot of lag is because the stock rom sucks.

I agree I have a TMobile note running Blackstar 6 no lag what so ever. I replaced touchwiz with Nova launcher and it runs like a dream. On a personal note I have not had any lag or had to force close other ram hungry apps in order to "speed things up"

Down load NoLED from the Play store. No root needed. Works great and I say even better than the LED that comes with the S3. With NoLED you know exactly what you missed.
When I first went to capacitive buttons from the HD2, I had thought that I missed them. Then I got the S3 and I knew instantly I missed the capacitive buttons.
Give NoLED a try and I think you'll be happy.
---
I do wish the Note did some of the things the S3 does: Like video previews and HDR photos in the camera options. I know there are other apps that can do that but I like the stock of it.
The one thing I was extremely glad that Note doesn't do vs the S3 is the gallery previews. The S3 gallery shows every picture in a tile mode like preview, the Note shows them in a group mode preventing embarrasing moments if some one looks at your gallery.
LOL..... I hear you rosedog.... Hey not to change the subject (of videos/photos)..... But I downloaded "Dice Player"..... enables a smaller/floating video player window over top of what app you're running (just like the stock capability of the GS3).... It works pretty well, too

You're not too picky. I traded my S3 for a Note a week ago. I def feel my S3 was much more snappy. Everything was just a bit smoother, quicker. Love the capacitive buttons and bigger screen, but miss my 2GB Ram and LED notification.
Will def upgrade to the Note 2 when it comes out.

Happy with mine, not going to buy the Note 2, not enough upgrades to justify. I don't like that it is longer & thinner either. Love my note however wish it had a notification light and a stronger vibrate when on silent. Also am having a problem opening some facebook video (from app) My note downloads videos rather than open them!. Other than that--am extremely happy with my TMobile Note.
I've noticed that too on some videos. My phone starts automatically downloading the video that I'm trying to stream.

Download noled and you got a sweet notification light for just about any notification. Works great and highly customizable.
I do believe the note 2 will def be a massive upgrade. JB stock, quad core cpu, 2Gb ram, just a few reasons why I'll upgrade as soon as it's out.

Hyperion Note 2 extended battery/cover

Had one of these on my S3 and just bought one for my GN2. Anxiously awaiting their honeycomb case to follow soon.

Sent from my J-BoMbEd Note2 using XDA Premium App
I have one for the S3 and I LOVE IT!! Best $20 bucks I ever spent on a phone battery. My worry with this one though is no mention of NFC on it. The Note 2 has NFC on the case again not on the battery like the S3. If this has NFC then you will officially have a phone that lasts longer than a Tablet
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No NFC, no thanks.
I bought one of these (can't post links, but do a search on ebay for note 2 7600 and you'll find it). Decided if I was going to extend the battery I might as well do it properly, and a 7600MA battery is about as big as I could find! Figured if it was crap I'd only wasted £15! Turns out it's rather good. It does add a bit of depth to the phone (about 10mm), but for me at least it actually makes it more comfortable in my hand. And it has the added bonus of keeping the camera lens away from whatever surface the phone is on. Can't comment on whether the nfc works or not I'm afraid as it's not something I use.

Looks like it is made by a 5 year old and Xperia T is twice in the image, 1 with YES and 1 with NO.
Looks fake to me.

Different strokes... Wait until you take a picture on the Nexus 4 (or from what the specs say the 5). Unlike the Sony, it is truly horrible camera.
The trick is never buy a subsidized phone, then it won't be simlocked or bootloader locked. That was an option with the Xperia T. I picked up mine for $279 at newegg.
The camera on my t is rubbish. When you take a video all you can here is a clicking noise from the camera

just to make sure what u talking about...you mean a noisy autofocus rattle sound, in videos?
if thats what you mean, i had that too with some Roms, but with omniRom its gone for me. dont know why. guess its a problem with some mic or whatever. happen for me just with some roms, not with all...crazy huh
thats your problem?
Maybe the Xperia T LTE is the one getting 4.3 update. I think the 3G one will not get the update. Maybe i'm wrong.
Neither are just like what happened to my play. A phone with specs good enough but not given the updates on purpose. If sony want to gain the market they need to release 1 flagship a year and support their previous flagships for longer than 5 months. The galaxy s3 is older and is getting android 4.3 and why aren't we?

Because no update to new version and sony bad, nexus cool because google. New version is good, because it keeps on battery half hour longer/lasts shorter but better. And profiles/new function in camera which i will use two times in my life/better integration with google plus omg! And no new version means that flagship abandoned. I am betrayed. sony bad.
To be honest i don't understand it too. When it comes - it comes. If not - who cares. Update from 2.3 to 4.0 was a big deal, because everything changed. API, nature of Android etc. GB slowly died and became incompatible with many interesting apps.
But update from one jelly bean to another? Dudes... It's only features!
Please just be happy that Sony released quite recent well written Android version. It's highly optimized and allows to do almost everything that is available to 4.2 and 4.3 devices..

Yeah, I hear ya bro. I initially was very happy with this phone and I mostly still am. But little things are starting to wear on me and I've been having thoughts of jumping ship.
The community for this phone is surprisingly the least active of any phone that I've ever owned. It's kind of a downer. I understand the whole locked bootloader thing, but it seems like interest is low in this phone but I'm not sure why other than the locked bootloader.
Another reason is the wifi issues. I frequently get the unstable connection message and lately my wifi performance has been terrible. I can't even watch a YouTube video without it constantly buffering.
And it seems like there is no fix in sight from Samsung. Not sure when or if there will ever be a fix.
I got in on that $150 promo code for the Moto X and I'm heavily considering getting one as an extra phone worst case scenario. But if I somehow like it, I might dump this phone and make a little profit in the process. Not sure yet.

I'm not having any issues with WiFi? I.m currently using a Belkin router on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz. You don't have a metal case on do you? Or anything near your router that could be interfering?
I personally wouldn't get rid of your phone either ...You have to remember this phone is still newer, Wait till after Christmas and watch how many more at&t note 3 users come...Development is still young I've seen this stage in almost all my experiences with prior phones. Soon as we get the boot-loader fix,,,Watch how many roms, And ported material fly this way.

Ya mj5. I think it's totally up to u. Mine auto updated, so I didn't have a choice. I wish it would have fixed the power button lag, and I wish they would have left the keyboard white. But ya we have a way to get roms on mj5 and I'm sure a Odin will b out sooner rather than later.
Up to u my man.

So it looks like the Note 4 won't bend like a fork...awesome! Can't wait for mine to arrive.

lol why would you put a fork there? It would hurt
Honestly.. Only an idiot would carry a phone like this in their back pocket with or without a case. Jmho though.

Honest question. What's wrong with no case? Is it fragile?

I feel quite relieved to see that video, but want to see tests by people out there too (and want to put a sock in Bendgaters).
Apple needed to justify there poor design so tried to take some heat away and mock Sammy for a gap which I may add is on most phones to allow for glass to fit in between the frame. Good to see Samsung showing the phone is of high build quality and proving it scientifically. Apple messed up but will never admit it as well.as all the isheeps. I love my Z2 but isheeps are very worrying people. Almost like a cult.

lol why is someone an idiot for using a phone as it was intended. Phones are designed for this kind of abuse. Just because the iPhone is poorly designed, doesn't mean all phones are. I don't put my phone in my back pocket, but tons of people do and their phones don't bend.

Nothing, as long as you're not a klutz Phones are not designed with cases in mind.
Why would you put ur phone in ur back pocket? That makes no sense. Don't wear jeans that crush ur nuts.
Swyped from my eVo
Well I'm 6.3 265lbs.. Case or not the Note4 is NOT designed for me to sit on it.
EDIT: People can say it's made to take it.. It'll be fine.. But when it breaks it's MY money that has to go for a replacement.
