From what I've seen Galaxy S is th only phone with Bluetooth 3.0..
I'm just curious as to what this will bring to the table that other phones will not be able to...
I hope there are some nifty bluetooth gadgets in production for our vibrant!
faster data transfer through bluetooth.
You will be prevented from using the Ryan Frawley's Wiimote App! Congratulations on your bluetooth 3.0 phone!
(And to provide at least some helpful information, he has not responded to any questions about the galaxy s line, our future froyo update may fix this for us).
@PathogenX, Yes I knew that...
@SquareBare yes i'm also aware of that.. i'll just have to wait... i'm liking the multi touch control... which works perfectly so i don't mind waiting til froyo to see what happends ...
i guess i was looking to see if this will mean video streaming or something... i think i saw an article like that b4.. but can't remember
anyways Thank you both for ur fast replies ...!!
The SGS family is the only smartphones in the world (if i'm not mistaken) to have BT 3.0. Okay, the Samsung Wave had it first.

Well, more of the blame lies on samsung than Mr. Frawley.
I read somewhere on these forums that Samsung implemented the bluetooth standard in a somewhat bizarre way. Kind of like how you have to swap wires around when you are connecting the video cable to your TV.
From what I see though, Samsung has acknowledged the issue and will correct it with the upcoming froyo update.

Samsung gets the blame for using the latest technology? How does that work?
I read in a press release from January of last year that the two main features of 3.0 is faster transfer and better battery life. In addition there is suppose to be some security enhancements.
It uses 802.11 to transfer the files like wifi does to transfer files to and from you phone.
http://www.gsmarena.com/bluetooth_30_specs_revealed_goes_up_to_11_thanks_to_80211-news-885.php
This isn't the article that I found before but this is one from the source.
http://www.bluetooth.com/English/Press/Pages/PressReleasesDetail.aspx?ID=16
The article I seen explained the bt/wifi thing better and said that bt 4.0 should be out by the end of this year.
Seasoned Samsung Vibrant users,
I just got today Sept 30th my Samsung Vibrant, I hope that this GPS problem that I have it's just SOFTWARE and not HARDWARE problem and you may tell me with your experience / suggestions what this is about.
Before the Samsung Vibrant, I was using a HTC Mytouch 3g slide, the GPS on my slide has been very accurate, what I can tell you is that from my bedroom My slide detects properly my home address using Google maps, with Samsung Vibrant usually gives me an innacurate location using Google Maps as well.
I have turned ON the wireless and the GPS on Samsung Vibrant as I did the same with my htc slide and on Samsung Vibrant gives me around 40 to 50 meters difference with a wrong location,
I don't want to use WIFI because it’s not the case, why on my HTC Mytouch 3g slide I don't need WIFI also I won’t have WIFI everywhere where I go, so I want that the Samsung vibrant works at least the same or better than a HTC phone GPS hardware.
so my question Is that a hardware problem or software issue?
My HTC Mytouch 3g slide never fails where I'm in my bedroom or other place where I go and test it and this Samsung is getting me out of my nerves that isn't accurate at all.
HARDWARE or SOFTWARE problem?
If it is software I will wait, but if it is hardware, I’ll be very disappointed.
Thanks I really appreciate your answer about this issue,
I have 14 days to test it and if I'm not happy with it I can return it depending what this problem is.
OMG please use the search function.
It IS a software issue... vibrant is well knows for its gps to be messed up.. the new 2.2 is coming out in approx a month and it will have a gps fix and also make ur phone faster plus alot of other things

I have been trying to refrain from jumping on people for stupid posts, BUT ...
The gps issue has been an issue with the Vibrant since day one, and there are most likely hundreds of threads on it already ....
I know it is a little scary but that search box does not bite ...
Hell a google search of "Samsung Vibrant GPS" should tell you all you need to know ..
Come on people use some common sense and search first, at least pretend to search for the sanity of the rest of us ...

Oh no, my Vibrant might be messed up????
Really??
Welcome to the real world!
Been bad since day one.
Wow, everyone is being kinda douchy here. All you have to do is root your phone with one of the many methods, install clockwork recovery and flash either the JI2 GPS fix or this one which is the same thing but uses the JI5 files instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796654 Good luck.

No i agree with you. I dont think I ever post questions here. I usually use my friend google and figure it out myself HOWEVER I also remember when i first got my very first android phone "G1" and was soooo lost at where to even begin. To the OP... they are right, you can find most anything by searching. I guess I only said that because some people just get plain rude. Not necessarily talking about you watcher64. Your post wasnt bad, just didn't really give any answer.

No offense taken , I just remember the old days of the forum, where this was a place to come learn, not to have the answers handed to you.
Seems everyone is looking for the quick fix these days, and really do not want to learn what they are doing or HOW it is actually done, then yell and scream at the people who help them that they broke their phone ...
EDIT:
Just to clarify I was on here almost 2 years before I asked more than a handful of questions, because 99% of the answers could be found by reading and searching, so it does get annoying that so many people want spoon fed these days.
It took you longer to write about your problems than it takes to search .

Like all the other supposed GPS fixes out there, these don't necessarily work either.

There is a big difference between not knowing, and "NOT EVEN TRYING", that is the biggest complaint ...
How do you think most of us here got the knowledge we do have, we looked it up, if you work a little for something, you will tend to remember it in the future...
This is a place for Development, and Education , not hand outs, never has been, and should never be taken as so ....
But I digress, you are right why should anybody here give a damn ....
OH because if nobody gave a damn, the people that get ask the questions would not know the answer either ....
No you speak the truth ppl should research, I had an off day when I posted sry if I sounded like a jerk. I do plenty of research on my own b4 doing anything to my phone, and if I brick it I have no one else to blame but myself. For example I have been researching the whole flashing with odin on my spare time, which isn't much still haven't got comfortable enough to try though. I just felt like the guy was getting slapped around a bit too much that's all.

What are you trying to use it for? Its use is very limited and pretty well documented throughout the forum. The only app I find it works well for is google voice searches and dolphin HD. If you are looking for it to work for a phone app then you will be disappointed. Maybe some dev work later on, but I can't say for sure what the plans are.

I've tried to use it for those two apps and doesn't work. I also tried to use it with Skype.
It says that there is an internal error.
the devs ( builders ) have been stuck for a while with some ( critical ) piece called 'ducati' that's giving them a major row... but i am with you about the microphone. i wish and hope the devs give the mic a first class treatment in the internal plumbing and rig in the voip for skype too. so . . . we just have to wait for the 'old car' to get out of the way !

why do some say their microphone works ( okay or so-so ) , while others have no microphone at all. this needs troubleshooting -or- just wait until the devs fix / conquer the 'dukati port 10' bug ? ? ?

My mic works for some apps on CM7, but not in any voip apps which is what i want it to work with most. I have even used my headphones with inline mic to no success.

Also, if you read this persons post carefully, there is no request for a eta or update regarding when something was going to be completed. It was a question regarding if there has been any progress made that maybe they had missed or couldn't find. This forum is difficult to perform a search for info and find what you are looking for, especially when you are new. With time it becomes easier when you learn to use more defined key words. I guess that is what made me angry when your response was rude and uncalled for in this particular sitiation.

You're literally doing the exact opposite of what you want done. You're ****ting up a thread and not just reporting to a mod. And you weren't trying to be polite, you were being passive aggressive, which is not polite at all. Its an attempt to sound polite while actually being condescending and rude. Its deceitful to the untrained eye.

Here's the link: http://bbs.ejiayu.com/thread-397439-1-1.html
Use Google translate. You have to join the site. You have to wait 24 hours. Then you have to click on the link in the first post, it will send you to an empty post for you to make, you make that post (anything you put there is fine), and then you can go back to the first post and download the updated rom. There are two versions of the rom, one for flashing from the card and one for flashing with the cable.
Sorry, I have nowhere to upload it for you, so I can't send you my copies.
I am waiting for my phone to arrive. I got the Etotalk rom, so my hope is that they are using the updated rom version and it will already be fixed.

My guess is that he really is talking about the G2S. This is a known problem, and Jiayu immediately issued the updated rom to correct this problem. In addition, the web page says that after installation of the new rom, the user must not touch the screen during the first boot before the unlock slider appears. Here are their words, as translated by Google:
Note: After the upgrade is complete, the first boot, the phone screen did not appear before sliding unlock switch, the phone can not power off (do not pull the battery), the hands can not touch the screen, otherwise it will affect the touch screen problem correction! ! !

Yes, I posted in the same thread as well. I feel a little bit lost between the g2 and the g3 related stuff.
Have you ordered a G2S already?
I'am very close to it. The only thing I'am still missing is a decent review of the first batch devices which are sold at the moment and reliable information about the fixing of the jump screen problem. I'am not very keen on getting a G2S and have to realize that the jump screen is based on a hardware problem. I could not read anywhere that the jump screen problem is really sorted out with the last software update. It is only mentioned that it has been improved as far as I understood the posts in the chinese forums.
To build a cwm recovery for the G2S should not be a problem, I reckon.

No, I don't think I have any more information than you. I have been looking at the Jiayu forums for information as well. It seems that the "official" Jiayu statement is that the jump screen problem is fixed by the software update: http://bbs.ejiayu.com/thread-395114-1-1.html
It's a bit more comforting to hear that they acknowledge the problem and have (are?) working on it. All of the other problems mentioned in that post are not causing me to worry.
Unfortunately my previous phone broke, so I am forced to wait no longer. So I ordered the phone already. Although it is DHL shipping, I think it might take some time to arrive. I ordered it from Etotalk and had them install their mod rom. I had already asked if it was based on the newest rom and they replied that it was. But I would suggest waiting for a while if you possibly can. There is always some risk when you buy a phone from a lower tier manufacturer and they are using really new technology.
While I wait for my phone, I need to learn how to use the tools for creating a CWM Recovery. I have already created a modified rom from the official download, but I have no phone to install it on. Unfortunately, I don't find a recovery.img file in the rom I downloaded. I am assuming I will need to pull it from the rom on the phone when I get it, but maybe I just don't know where to look for it. Any help anyone has would be appreciated.

But I would suggest waiting for a while if you possibly can. There is always some risk when you buy a phone from a lower tier manufacturer and they are using really new technology.
While I wait for my phone, I need to learn how to use the tools for creating a CWM Recovery. I have already created a modified rom from the official download, but I have no phone to install it on. Unfortunately, I don't find a recovery.img file in the rom I downloaded. I am assuming I will need to pull it from the rom on the phone when I get it, but maybe I just don't know where to look for it. Any help anyone has would be appreciated.

There is a great tutorial how to create a recovery mod for the G2S here. As soon as I get a G2S I will build a recovery following that tutorial.
Like you I have read through all the well known forums and not that well known forums to gather all information I could get regarding the mediatek chipset 6577 phones. Now the time has come to make use of it. Difficult to wait any longer.
Btw, I read that DHL express delivers bloody fast, only 4 days for shipping from China to Germany was the best. I hold thumbs that you'll get it as fast as that lucky guy.
Could you please backup the Etotalk rom before you customize it? Most likely I'am going to order mine at mixe and I would like to test the Etotalk rom.
Regards,
John

I will definitely backup the Etotalk rom before going any further. But I suspect it is going to have very little changed from the stock rom because I only need English and Traditional Chinese. So it might not be localized in a way that can work well for you (depending on what you need).
I also suspect that it is very easy for them to modify the rom. Already they have Jiayu's official update that is pre-rooted or at least has Superuser in the rom (so rooting will be easy). Then they just delete a few useless apps and the rom is done, as long as it is just in English and Chinese. But any user can delete those apps immediately after rooting, so that is not significant either.
Thanks for the link. I will definitely look at that when I have some time later today or tomorrow.
I will also need to work on installing the tools for backing up and flashing roms. On my Huawei U8220, I made many rom mods and distributed them over at MoDaCo. But I think there will at least be some new things to learn when working with this MediaTek phone.
Maybe it will be time to start an "unofficial" Jiayu G2S thread some time soon. I'd prefer having a good title for the thread (like the G2 thread), and someone who will update the first post when important new information (or roms, etc.) happens. This thread is to specific in the title.
I will also have the Jiayu G2S, it is a very nice phone

Excellent. When and where did you buy?

Here is a first, very detailed review of the G2S. Very well done. Unfortunately again in chinese. So use Google(-translator).

Wow, that was a thorough review! Thanks for the link.
Nice to hear that there was no problem with the jump screen. Still, I will be careful to do two things on the initial boot:
1. Not install the SD card.
2. Not touch the screen until it is done booting.
I had to laugh though: the "Antutu" testing software got translated to "An Bunny". :laugh: And I know enough Chinese to know why.
My phone will probably ship today. I don't understand why they were having trouble with my address in Chinese characters. :silly:

Regarding the jump screen issue there are two (new) threads in that forum.
As far as I understand it is said that the problem still exists and it (likely) could be a hardware problem.
Hope that is not the case.

PS: Regarding the Chinese-English translation: What is meant by "brush"? Is it "update"?
PPS: Bunny is indeed funny. :laugh:

I believe "brush" = "flash". I should look at the Chinese character to make sure.
I just got my DHL tracking number! My phone is on it's way. Maybe it will arrive by this Saturday? :fingers-crossed:
Hi,
I've finally received my Omate.
Before doing whatever:
1) how can I safely detect whether the received model is the right one (should be the 1/8/2100)
I ordered it from the pre-order omate site, not from kickstarter.
2) how can I backup my actual ROM (and other things if needed) before trying to do something?
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello,
sorry but I'm impatient. I have the truesmart now, I've been waiting for months to get it (as we all did!) and now I'm not sure what to do, so I can not use it
Sorry to disappoint you but all you can really do is hoping that the watch will last some time. No respectable developer is supporting anymore the watch. Turn it on and use it as it is, you are on your own, not even Omate will support you.
Some people reported satisfactory experiences with their watches after reading through this forum though. Maybe its because they updated their watches using the patches as recommended. Mine has great battery life and I like the swapplink app. It works for me.
I use mine all the time, works good, especially after installing the ensec rom. I don't have much to complain about anymore.

Thanks.
I will get mine (1GB/8GB Extreme, kickstarter developer version; used) soon. Not sure what rom version it will have.
Can you please send me a link to the latest ensec rom (and how to flash it)? I apologize for being a bit lazy and not reading though all threads.
I saw that most developers quit because they were not properly referenced when some other developer took/stole their work and instead of apologizing even insulted them. Sorry to see that happen and I wonder why xda is not looking into this and responding appropriately (to prevent this from happening again; does not do anyone good). We all want to be acknowledged/rewarded for what we are doing.
There's like 3 roms to choose from in the truesmart development section, one of which is ensec. Everything is in that thread.
Thanks! Seems like 1 developer still is contributing and working on improvements-thanks on behalf of this community to kuronosan.
