My friend wants to swap for my X10.
From what i know
The sgs has a smaller screen but has multitouch correct?
The sgs has 5MP cam instead of 8MP
Is there anything about the sgs that i should know?
Yes i will be adding custom roms if i get it.
If I were you, I'd swap. I have both phones and SGS is the one I use everyday.

SGS doesn't have a notification LED
Also, looks ugly
sgs is faster and more responsive
I had,the captivate and I can tell u its great! Go on it has 2.3 out (COSTUM ROM)

No, Sgs hasn't got style & looks lame plus the camera in X10 is awesome
SGS is much better in many ways, but yeah, X10 looks better and thicker. i have a white X10a.
in all fairness, SGS is still my first choice compared to X10. it is a great phone for multimedia, it's music player got 5.1 surround sound and video player dose not require you to convert all your movies to mp4. camera performence is on par with x10, despite the 5mp vs. 8mp. and SGS's incall volume is much better too. not to mention the much better XDA support on SGS
just my 2 cents.
if u r not worried abt camera then SGS is ur best choice (between the two)
better gpu...
better screen...
rest is upto personal preference...
SGS is overall a good phone but one big negative aspect is the bad battery life i ve experienced and a friend of me too, dont know how other user felt of the battery..
Just wanted to mention (;

Hi guys, im going back to android (had a G1 a year ago) from blackberry (got tired) and im getting two good offers on these phones, but since these smartphones are SO different to what i used to have (G1 xD), im kinda confused wich one is better, so i want you guys to help me out here, wich is one should i get? Vibrant or myTouch 4G?
Internet speed its not important since i don't live in a 4G area (in fact, there isn't any 4G coverage at all in my country), but i like to play games and stuff like that. I like my phone to be fast and with very little lag. I have read on internet that Samsung's Hummingbird processor its better than the Snapdragon proccesor that the myTouch 4G have, but, i don't know why, i keep reading on forums that the myTouch 4G is faster than the Vibrant...how is that possible? The Vibrant have more RAM, ROM (16GB Internal, the myTouch have only 4GB), faster proccesor, better GPU...well, im a little confused there too.
Any opinions?
Mytouch 4G. It has way more features and has a bigger community of devs.
Camera with FLASH! Trackpad. Front Camera. Metallic build quality.
With both phones stock, the HTC has 700+ mb of ram available and the Vibrant has only 304+ available. The other issue is file systems. The HTC uses I think ext4 and the Vibrant uses its home grown system of RFS. I feel the RFS system is probable the biggest issue to slow the phone down. I have mine rooted with custom rom that uses ext4 (voodoo) and it is faster with much better battery life then all the stock MT4G's that I have seen. If you are not going to root anything then I would recommend the MT4G or even look at the G2x. But the screen on the vibrant is killer
myTouch4G has 768mb ram, Vibrant has 512mb (about 330mb is available for Android to use, depending on the rom).
I'd say the MSM8255 Snapdragon is probably on-par with the Hummingbird in the SGS - the SGS does have a much better GPU for 3D gaming, though.
The Vibrant may have a 16gb ROM, but only 2gb is available for app storage, the rest is treated as an internal SD card.
They would both be great phones, but the Vibrant has the better screen.
I have a vibrant and my wife has a mt4g. I would say if youre going to root and flash roms get the vibrant, but if youre going to leave it stock get the mt4g. Both phones were laggy stock to me. Im much happier with the dev community for the vibrant though. I've flashed 6 or 7 different roms on the mt4g (including cm7) but none of them seem as complete as bionix or trigger
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ok, i forgot to say this, but im TOTALLY going to root the phone. In fact, is one of the mains reasons that im comming back to android (and here plays the song "Im comming home" by Dirty Money ), i love flashing roms, looking for bugs in new roms, the excitement of someone releasing a new rom (like Cyanogen), trying out weird apps in the market place and all that kind of stuff, i DON'T like stock phones at all...i installed OS6 on my Blackberry 9300 as soon as i got it, looking for something different (running away from stock), still was a pretty boring phone tough.
You have told me guys that both phones stock, the MT4G its faster, but what about both phones rooted? Should i get the Vibrant? Or even both phones rooted, the myTouch its still better?
EDIT: Also, are the Samsung Vibrant and the Samsung Captivate the exact same device? Under the hood, of course.

Both rooted running custom roms with no overclock my vibrant and my wifes mt4g scored within 6 points of each other on quandrant. I'd say it come down the ffc if that's important to you or super amoled screen (more important to me)

Well, I absolutely love my vibrant. Plenty fast (q score 1600+), amoled screen rules, and camera takes amazing pix. Flash isn't an issue since I don't really take pix in the dark lol.
It has less ram, but its near impossible to hard brick from what I've read. I'd say go vibrant, and if you don't like it, flash back to stock and exchange for the mt4g.

My problem its that im buying it second hand, so its not as easy as i"f i dont like it, i just take it back..." So thats why i have to make the right choice, because oncei buy the phone, its going to be difficult to sell it again.
Well, I'd say that if you don't have 4g coverage, why buy a 4g phone. Its like buying a Ferrari when you live in Poland. Maybe not as expensive, but you can't take full advantage of it. Lol.
Do you have any questions about the phone itself? Not spec wise?

If you are into gaming, then vibrant hands down. Here are the things I would take into consideration.
1. Bigger dev community for the mytouch4g. I think most of the people with the vibrant will be leaving for the Sensation or the galaxy 2 if they have the funds. I am going with the galaxy S 2 myself. With that being said the development will dwindle down to nothing by the end of the summer.
2. There are great roms for the vibrant right now. Trigger, Bionix, and a bunch of stable 2.2.1 roms to choose from.
3. I don't know if a stable cm7 will ever happen for the vibrant. They have it working ok. Plenty of bugs, and bad battery. Also no 2.3 rom has working gps because of drivers. You will have to wait on a leaked 2.3 rom for the vibrant I think.
I love my vibrant for gaming. I have about 5 Gameloft games.. bogo for $2.99 . Can't beat that. And the phone handles them beautifully. I am running Trigger btw, just because I wanted a stable rom until I get the galaxy 2 .
I hope this helps with your decision, I know I rambled a bit. But I think i covered everything on the development side for you.

Cm7 runs fine for me. However, I don't use GPS so it suits my needs. Runs fast needs daily charge, but meh, that's what sleep is for lol

On top of what everyone else said, Voodoo sound on the vibrant makes listening to music through the 3.5 mm jack a dream. I can't go back now. It's just too good.
Hi to all...
I have an Iphone 3G 8G, and a guy offer me to change his Xperia X10i with my iphone...
now...I really find ios and Iphone a good phone..
But 3G is becaming really slow, now I have whited00r firmware and its a bit more fast but I loose many application of the 4.2 =(
So i think that going to android could be better...
What do you think of xperia x10i?
maybe with a 2.2 or 2.3 rom?
is slow like the iphone 3G or is better?
thanks in advance for your answer
This will not answer your actual question
But i would rather worry why he wants to trade his phone with yours. Just guessing, but maybe something is not correct with his one. Else I cant really understand why he would change his phone with a 3 years old one..
Sent from my HsTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Its definitely a lot smoother with froyo and gingerbread and we have flash.
The downside of switching is the lack of true multitouch and touch responsiveness. Other than that its great.
Sent from my X10i TripNMiUI-IRIS using XDA Premium App
ya the x10 feels alot less responsive compared to the iphone other than that everything else is equal
X10 is less responsive and smooth (due to the FPS Cap), further it feels for me even faster then the iPhone 4. So I would definetely trade my iPhone 3g (if I had) for a x10i. But i've already got my x10

Yea, even if it's an iphone, it is way older then the x10. I never really had iphone 3g in my hands, but I guess there should be a difference, even if it's apple..
Yeah but once a stable custom kernel is released in he coming months then the true power of x10 will be seen
SE has been showing a cleaner side lately.
The x10 was a bummer.
But i'm starting to like the new work they are doing.
X10 all the way!
alright well lets compare ...
Display ...
Xperia 480*854 4 inches ... Bravia engine is in the works and trust when i say the colors are even better than the iphone 4 <--- Win
Iphone 320*480 3.5 inches
Memory
Xperia 384MB but with SD-Card
Iphone 8 or 16 GB with no SD-Card <--- my personal taste win but u dont have to agree
Ram
Xperia 384MB <-- win
Iphone 128MB
Camera
Xperia 8MP with great lens <----- defo a win even to other 8 MP phones
Iphone 2MP lens is okayish
CPU
Xperia 1GHz <---- win
Iphone <512MHz
OS
This is all personal taste so try out android and see how it works for you
so the point being the Xperia is not a bad phone unless it has SE stock Firmware haha honestly the Xperia is better than the iphone 4 if u have the right custom firmware on it ... and as someone said before make sure theres nothing wrong with the phone cuz it makes no sense to trade that phone for an Iphone
I have both these phones and the iPhones home screen may be a bit smoother but the x10 runs apps and launches them much faster. Even stock 2.1 is going to be better.

Hi friends,
I just love my x10.
But it seems my perticular x10 has motherboard problem.it keeps restarting if there is sim card inserted. Service center refused service as my x10 is from outside india.
But i m interested in either arc or neo. But not sure what i should do..
Or should replace x10 with x10.
Any thoughts...
Specially from current arc and neo users...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have heard but I dont own one, but the arc is a better pick over the neo.
But if you want even a better phone. Go for the Samsung galaxy S 2. That phone has gotten reviews as the one of or the best smartphone to date. When I get to a computer, I will give u a review link. Hope this helps.

I believe sgs2 is the greatest mobile on planet as of now. But i like sony phones and their design more.
Arc is better looking than neo.
Arc has beutiful design.bigger screen hence better usability.
Neo has smaller screen but better battery life.
Front camera does not interest me tht much.
If only arc had 1650mAh battery like the mighty sgs2...

Use Fullwiped Overclocked GingerDX v019+ alfs v03 krenel! It's the best combination.I have 1900 in Antutu.
Or just connect to the same wifi as your friend's i****, and use WiFiKill or droidsheep. After success, just ask him that can he do this wit his "huge" performance
Then ask him how many cash did he throw out of the window. Man, X8 is now a low end and really cheap phone, and in some points it is still better than any iphones!

Any rom is better than iBrickwiththescreen
The X8 is better than iPhone 3G, even with 2.1 stock ROM.
And with a custom ROM it's better than iPhone 4. You know why?
Because iOS fails as OS. No bluetooth free connectivity, no WiFi connectivity to open networks, you can't freely manipulate your files/documents, etc. You need to jailbreak to do all that things, but in Android you can do all that with or without rooting.
Thank you for this tips but he still says that X8 and android doesnt support spme of the best games for iPhone if someone could give me the names of two ot three games,he should asy that android is better.
also he payed 900 USD for iPhone 3GS
Well...the best game would be
Nfs hot pusuit
PES 2012,need chainfire though
Fast five
Duke nukem 3d

It does have a BT (with jailbreak and tweak Cleste it works just like on any other phone) but I agree that $900 is too much.

i want to use smartphone with one hand, so i like the mini one, it's convenience for me.
3.5 or 3.7 can be used with single hand..
Yes, some people dont want to put tablets in pocket. 3-3,5'' is ok for someone. We are not all kids who want play games! There is small number of small quality phones. I have nothing against 4, 5 or 10'' phone..but give us more 3,5'' phones with good specs. Mostly small phone means low ram, weak procesor, outdated etc.
I use Xperia Ray now-find it small enough and powerfull. 1ghz, 512ram, hd video, 8mp. I dont need games all day long. And now i tapatalk with no problems on 3,3''. 4'' and more is too big for me - must use both hands for convinient use.
My previous phone was x10mini - great small phone!
I do
For me, as a girl, I do like the small scree the I choose 3' for daily use...
I think many people now prefer the big screen because the style prefers that.. like several years ago, the smallest the better
maybe some day later, it will turns back to the old style again
Yes, now tablet-like phones are status symbols.
il like mini and x8...
