I'm not entirely convinced it's totally a RAM issue - the S1's CPU can't juggle that many plates before things get sluggish. The fact you've got around 50MB RAM available suggests that. Would be...

The back won't look anything as bad in real life (get your hands on one in a store ASAP).

I don't think the look of the phone should dominate any thoughts - it'll soon become an insignificance...

Don't forget the Galaxy Nexus which has better resolution than the S2 and ICS as standard. That's a decent option if you want a Samsung phone that'll get updates before anything else. I won't be...

I despise anything Apple so can't move away from Super AMOLED displays as there's nothing comparable that I'd consider - it'll be interesting to hear what you think of the HTC's display. In all other...

It's fine. Just unplug,take battery out for a few seconds, replace battery, go back into Download mode, ioen Odin and reconnect to PC (in that order). Then retry, making sure you'rve re-read the...

dog-man,

Last dumb-ass questions from me, promise...

I know how to flash a kernel and how to use the rootkeeper app but I need clarification on where to get a stock 2.3.6 JVU i9000 kernel from....

Yes, I usually just turn my phone sideways too - just tried it to make sure and got a full screen experience on my SGS

dog-man,

Bit confused... Here's where I'm at:

- flashed stock 2.3.6 (JVU) via Odin
- rooted by flashing CF-Root file under PDA in Odin
- converted to ext4

Are you saying I re-flash...

Check your router's DHCP Lease Time. If 0 or Forever, set to 1440 (minutes). That works around a bug Samsung introduced in recent firmware which exhibits the symptoms you describe.

Sadly, that app's no good for me as my SGS was flashed with Odin and subsequently rooted with CF-Root.

I'm sure a similar solution for Odin flashed devices is technically possible but no-one's...

OK, so your phone lies to you. My girl lies to me but I won't put her on eBay. Yet.

If I'm correct the modern batteries like to be topped up. I always put my phone on charge overnight and...

Yikes! Someone think about the bunnies. There's an irate female running amok and I fear for them if the saucepan's handy...

Ah, the unmistakable sound of Big Ben... Only just masking the gentle rustle of anoraks and crisp packets at the nearby pub quiz...

No phone comes rooted so discount that if you've not rooted it yourself. See dog-man's link...

Isn't the i9001 essentially the i9000 with a LCD screen? Anyway, Sky Go is in the Market, works on my i9000 (but you must not be rooted) so just download it and see. You'll need a Sky ID but that's...

My contract's up in October so I'm hoping Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy Note prices will have dipped by then - I'm going to jump from SGS to one of those two as I want the higher resolution. The SGS3 will,...

In many cases, it's a firmware bug introduced by Samsung that meant it doesn't like the DHCP Lease Time to be set as indefinite or 0 on the router. So check your router configuration for this...

That's how IMAP works I believe - you need to explicitly tell the client or configure your ISP email settings online to delete from the server. Odds are, your PC-based email is either POP3 or has...

Documentation??? Call yourself a developer? :) I don't trust documentation as most developers don't do any! Google reveals this useful looking answer if I understand your predicament correctly:
...

I'm guessing it's the Google sync (which backs up your Contacts if you allowed it to during initial setup). Maybe your Google account details are duff? Look in the Accounts and Sync menu in...

Are you using a custom ROM or just the stock firmware? If the former, it may be the launcher. If the latter, try another launcher such as Launcher Pro from the Market.

My phone (Galaxy S) is...

Have you tried another email client (such as the excellent K-9 Mail) and let it try and auto-configure based on your domain during initial setup?

I just believe the S2 isn't enough of an upgrade to warrant not waiting for the S3. I've rooted my SGS, converted the file system to EXT4 and disabled a lot of the unnecessary background auto start...

I got an SGS in January 2011. My gadget purchasing is heavily controlled by Mrs Yaffle and guilt, so my strategy has always been to get the best tech at an acceptable price-point, even if I have to...
