i started a thread titled Audio chip/beats asking about beats/quality and got the info i wanted. someone else started another thread about the "DAC" which is the same thing. i mentioned my thread, but nobody closed that one, so it must be ok to post another thread. i need to know what is in this phone. the Galaxy S II had Yamaha and it was terrible. forgetting Beats Audio, what is in this phone, and is it good? feel free to flame. all i want is my answer in my own thread. thanks!
i haven't bought mine yet and can't until the end of the month, but if this has Yamaha or something worse/equal, then i'm willing to go another few weeks to see what the Galaxy S III has.

Hey guys, I just got the Samsung Vibrant not too long ago than a couple of weeks later, T-Mobile release the Samsung Galaxy S 4G aka Vibrant 4G. I was telling myself, I should of wait a bit longer to get the SGS 4g. But after researching the SGS 4g. I came to found out that that it replace the internal 16gb memory for a front face camera and have 4g enable. I was reading on one of the forum stating that the org Vibrant and the Galaxy s 4g are very identical/ the same (CPU/GPU, hardware, etc) and that the org Vibrant can get 4g by updating to Android 2.2 or better which Samsung is holding back on us Vibrant user.
Now, my question is... How can I get the Android 2.2/2.3 update? So I can enable 4G....
4G is controlled by the hardware, not the software.
ENABLING 4G on Org. Samsung Vibrant
You're new around here so you probably don't know better yet. Before posting topics, it's probably a good idea to search first. The subject of your post has been discussed at length much before. I'd be surprised if you didn't find the answer(s) you're looking for.
Also 2.2 has been out for a while.

My bad. I think I posted on a wrong forum.. I accidentally post it on the Vibrant Accessories page..
Just wondering if the GS2X will be getting it's own section or if will be amalgamated into this section as well? The hardware is different so I'm assuming it will get it's own. Next question is when will it happen? After launch? The device has been officially announced.
the Admins are still deciding
it will depend on the amount of users petitioning for it, and developers willing to code for this new model
Officially it's still a Galaxy S II, so chances are it will be amalgamated into this forum
It's got a totally different radio and processor and none of the ROMs will be common. The Sprint version got its own forum so why wouldn't a phone that's even more different?
I wonder if it will use a different audio chip then the yamaha?
i don't really mind the audio chip as long as it provide good music
I guess it doesn't really matter if they don't change the chip, I'd just prefer to not hear the CPU noise when listening with headphones using the headphone jack; so maybe better shielding.
When I use the i9100 in my car it works great but it's the official vehicle dock with an external DAC/amp so it sounds great, no noise at all.
It would be nice to know what the plan is so those of us who want to get the questions or ideas going don't bomb this section if not necessary.

Guys, I know there is a sticky about this, but since I'm a newbie in this, I can't comment in posts.
As the title says, today a comment on G+ by TMO says we may not get the long awaited ICS. Look at the pic.
I'm sorry but I think we all should know this.
Edit: Nevermind, it was an innocent mistake. They are talking about the HTC G2. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It's highly doubtful that T-Mobile would abandon their flagship phone while AT&T is upgrading theirs.
Combine this with the notices from Samsung that T-Mobile Galaxy S2 will be getting an update, pretty much guarantees that an upgrade is happening.

That says G2, which is also the HTC G2, which more then likely what they were referring to, not trying to sound mean btw.
I think I never said I signed up for this... I said I was a new member and that's why I create a post for something that has to go in the sticky.

Maybe you're right... Since we are all so desperate about ICS, I just posted this as information that i saw and wanted to share.
If it is wrong or something, you can always report it to the admins, so they delete this post.
Yeah, what he said. This is in reference to the G2, not GS2.
Context clues are key.
One being that the person Tmobile was responding to has a MT4G slide. The poster wanted ICS for the 4G slide as they thought it was fundamentally the same as the Sensation (which got ICS). Tmobile responded by saying that it is up to the OEM's and the G2 is an old Device and probably wont get it.
As the GS2 is not that old of a device, common sense would tell you that this isn't what he is referring to. Additionally, the MT4G slide is way more comparable to the G2 than to the GS2.
All ICS discussion goes in the sticky
Hey guys,
It's finally time to upgrade my old Galaxy S1 Epic (please don't laugh lol), I was planning on waiting for news on the new S4 but nothing solid has come out and my Epic was royally messed up from a game of football.....Note to self - don't play football with a phone in your pocket.
I know I'll probably get some bias comments since I'm posting this in the Samsung forums but I'm hoping for some logic as well. I know in terms of technology, the S3 is on the verge of being out of date. The Optimus G (on paper) looks to be an amazing phone but I know that LG's track record on updates as well as community development has always been lacking.
Would you guys get a S3 this late in the game or the Optimus G and hope for the best in terms of support/development? I can't afford to buy the phone outright so I'll be locked into a 2 year contract with Sprint and will be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years. I played with both phones at the store and they're both pretty cool, but I'll admit that when it comes to phones I am kind of a noob and would rather get honest opinions from people who have the phones and might know more about the future hurdles of it.
oh, the S3 is at Amazon Wireless right now for $50 and the LG Optimus is $99....both great deals imo! So I'm going to need to make a decision soon before the sale is over.
Thanks in advanced!
Ill just say this i will never buy an lg phone. This s3 is an amazing device and i have zero complaints about anything regarding this and i have had this since early june.

lame.. why not just don't post or answer his question even if it isn't suppose to be here..
anyways.. I'd vote for the SG3, mostly just because Samsung will at least try to stay up to date.. While LG always seems to fail in the category..
2 things, battery and sdcard
Thanks eveyone! I posted in the other post as well and got an answer there too. I'm going to go with the S3, even though the hardware is older than the Optimus G, I know that the development community behind it is amazeballs. I had the Epic 4G for awhile but since there were great development groups behind it, I was able to happily use the phone for a long time without complaints. I just can't take that gamble with the LG phone....looks great on paper but I don't want to be stuck with stock for 2 years,
I just got off the phone with Bestbuy and they said they'll price match Amazon Wireless so I'm going to pick one up for $50. Woot!

Answer was sent to OP via PM. However, We still gotta play by the rules either way we go. Overall, choice is going to be down to OP to figure out what they would like to do. So, my opinion may not matter..
I said S3 either way. I agree with post above me, non removable battery and lack of SD expansion is HUGE turn off.
I just don't like lg
Also s3 has the 48gb from drop box
I also like having the option of having Odin fix stuff if they go horribly wrong
Also s3 has a super solid dev community
Idk about the optimus g

This is a valid question - on the one hand, it isn't a big deal to handle the occasional misplaced thread... but on the other hand, just answering the question does nothing to help the OP to ensure that he doesn't make the same mistake twice (which will, in turn, make misplaced threads less occasional and more of a problem)
The important part is for all of us to be careful not to attack each other, or to react to such a reminder as if we're being attacked - if we wanted to start a multi-page argument, it would be more effective to bring up debatable matters of opinion than known facts such as forum rules

Hi all, sorry if I put this in the wrong section, still a bit new to posting here.
Anyway, my Xperia Z2 has a sort of faulty headphone jack, and I was wondering if there's a sort of device that can connect to my phone via Bluetooth, and then I can connect my wired headphones to the device, instead of my Z2. I did some research, and I think this one can be used as this function, but still not sure. If anyone could verify this for me or point me in the right direction, that'd be awesome. Thanks!
Just realized I did post this in the wrong section. Could a mod please delete this? I moved it to Questions and Answers.
