Samsung Galaxy S

Anyone ever get 'Warning Camera Failed'.

From a quick google it seems fairly serious. Strangely enough the video still records fine so it's definitely not a hardware issue.

Factory reset didn't help.

Oh, and it's only since I upgraded to Froyo via Odin that it's happened.

I just got this phone on Friday, I had them upgrade me from a H1 which wasn't doing as it should. I am lucky to get a day out of the battery, how do the rest of you get on

It takes.1-2 wks for the battery to come to life. It needs to be cycled more than half a dozen times for it to come up. Ive mine a week now and its starting to get a lot better.

Since updating to Froyo the USB Settings option isn't in the About Phone menu (which was a stupid place to put it in the first place), can anyone tell me where it's gone?

Love my SGS so want to future proof it and buy a few batteries. Anyone bought any official 1's off of reputable sources? Any links would be appreciated.

My friend got a few knock off for my bday but they have already lost their charge.

Anyone seen/used 1 of these? Or these?

Really not into the latter. Turns my phone into a fat mess.

I had that problem on my unlocked SGS, but on my Three branded one, that doesnt happen. I have got problems trying to root this one. I really need the lag fix as it is intolerable.

Swings and roundabouts I suppose :-/

What network, or shop? Mine is back in it's box, and will stay there until I sell it. Using a HTC Desire instead.

They look like a good idea. The 3000mah might actually give the phone a better feel.
Personally think it feels a bit thin and flimsy.

I ordered one from amazon. Bought 2 genuine Nokia batteries from them before and they were very good (and cheap).

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of moving to my first bill pay plan. I' just wondering which phone would be better to get, the Galaxy S or the HTC Desire?

I would mainly be using it for internet, music, radio and a few applications. Camera quality isn't overly important.

Also, what is meant by having 2GB of Internet included is part of my plan? Is this the amount of usage I am allowed monthly? And would this be enough to cover my monthly usage (facebook and a small bit of browsing daily)?

Thanks in advance

I just got a Samsung Galaxy, so I am biased but to be honest the HTC Desire is the same phone, same software (maybe the screen is not as good). But in terms of using the phone - they are really the same.

Just have to say my Samsung Galaxy has no flash for the camera. My only complaint with the phone, as I had a Nokia 5800 before this and that phone had a great flash.

Probably, you should learn to turn off things like checking email all the time , and background downloads that can use up your allowance. I am on a 5Gb plan and am not close to it or will be I reckon.

They're not. I have both, but the Galaxy hasn't come out of it's box in over a week now.
The Desire UI is much nicer to use IMHO, and you'd be very hard pushed to spot any difference in the screens, although mine is AMOLED - I haven't seen the S-LCD up close.

Yes. The latest version of Android, with Flash, it's faster and has a few other changes.

I have firmware 2.1-update1 im on emobile,how do you update and should I?

also what is "rooted" i saw that somewhere in this tread

Abelloid

It should be available to e-mobile already... but I can't remember how to check your product code on a Galaxy..

Don't worry about rooting, if you don't know what it is, you don't need it.

Check your product code using (works on Froyo):

*#272*Your imei number#*

Hey Guys,

I've been trying to send picture messages since I got my Samsung Galaxy with emobile but its not happening. I've rang the help desk and they gave me the set up info but its still not working.

would anyone be able to tell me or direct me towards the correct setup information for MMS with emobile.

Thanks a million

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

Popsy did you try restarting your phone?

Make sure you don't have two MMS APNs set up.

I'm sure you've looked on the emobile site but here's the settings again:

- Name: eMobile MMS
- APN: mms.eircom.ie
- Authentication: None
- Home Page: http://mms.eircom.ie
- Data Bearer: Packet Data
- Network Type: IPv4
- Proxy Server ID: 010.085.085.085
- Proxy Port Number: 8799
- Username: my
- Password: mms

*Before you can receive a picture message, you first need to send one in order to activate the MMS functionality on your phone.
This will differ on different phone models.

Popsy

Thanks BearNecessities,

Thats still not working. I might have to call into an emobile store, I have to be doing something wrong.

I dont have any of the following on my menu:
- Authentication: None
- Home Page: http://mms.eircom.ie
- Data Bearer: Packet Data
- Network Type: IPv4

I have:
Name
APN
Proxy
Port
Username
Password
Server
MMSC
MMS Proxy
MMS Port
MCC
MNC
Auth Type
APN Type

Sorry for all the questions, I'm a complete novice

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

Delete the current MMS settings and check that your WAP/GPRS APN doesn't have MMS settings set as well. Than add a new MMS APN using the following:

Name: eMobile MMS
APN: mms.eircom.ie
Proxy: 010.085.085.085
Port: 8799
Username: my
Password: mms
Server: http://mms.eircom.ie
MMSC: http://mms.eircom.ie
MMS Proxy: 010.085.085.085
MMS Port: 8799
MCC: 272
MNC: 03
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: mms

I'm having the same problem on 3. Do people here on 3 have two APNs for internet and MMS or just one?

osotogari

Anyone having issues with the music player since upfrading to 2.2? If i pause a song for a significant length of time the music player quits. It also auto pauses sometimes.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

I have two. Both working. Think I posted up a pseudo screenshot recently. Couldn't get a single APN working for both Data and MMS

Edit: When you change any of the settings, make sure to 'save' them.
