i downloaded 2 games real football HD and gangstar miami HD.. both gameloft games.. not happy with performance on Galaxy s.. too many lags and long loading times.. iPhone versions way better...

at least in android 2.3 there is an option to disable wifi if your phone is in standby mode. but i think it switches to edge in that case.

i wonder when will the lazy samsung folks make 2.2.1 available here in india......... after Galaxy s 2 unveiling i don't think 2.3 will ever come to the galaxy s...

I agree anuj. I am checking availability of 2.2.1 every week. Looks like Samsung is not interested in solving issues related to Galaxy.

"There is no ETA on 2.2.1 update for SGS" as per samsung twitter account
samsung has crossed the limit on poor software support..i will never buy samsung android mobile again...

okay... 2 days with airtel 3G... the GPS always locates me somewhere 2 kms away from my actual location.. both indoors and outdoors.. earlier it used to be 30-40 meter ... and i thought it is because of slow edge networks.. this Galaxy s GPS chip is out of the world faulty...

My friend bought samsung Galaxy I9003 runing froyo 2.2.1 & I was surprised to see that gps was able to locate within 30 sec & accuracy of 15mt distance where we were standing. He is on Vodafone. I am wondering whats the use of this gps locating & isn't that going to be a privacy issue in the time to come?

gps is used for apps like: navigationlocation based servicesyou can disable it. but it still would not disable the ability of the mobile service providers to locate you on the basis of the tower your mobile phone is connecting to.

Yes... In some mobiles (especially in my older Nokia one) ... The Tower/Area name used to keep flashing... And the same information would be easily available to the operators....
