There are pro's and con's of both phones. There is very little that compares to apple when it comes to integration with their devices. The down side of apple is they want everything you do to be done their way.
Agreed 100%

^^^ with my vivid i just connected it to the computer, went into computer and accesed the phone. Put the4 video file in there somewhere in the media folder. The phone figured it out and the movie was there when all was said and done.
Ex iPhone user. I picked up a Samsung Skyrocket recently and have been getting used to it ever since. I figured with a grandfathered data plan, I should be using 4G to its potential.
My biggest issues so far with the phone is media related (and maybe some of you know the answers to these problems)
1. The music applications do not get that loud in general. When I plug my phone into an AUX plug, I have to crank up my in-car volume along with maxing the Android media volume.
2. Another music issue, as each track changes, there is a crackle. It also crackles and freaks out when I disconnect my phone from an AUX port to answer a call (the music switches between a psuedo stereo/phone mix instead of a smooth transition and pause I had with the iPhone.
3. I have tried Winamp, PowerAMP, MIUI, etc. and all have been less than satisfactory.
4. Also, I haven't been able to find a program that works best with my phone for music and album art. I am on a PC. Should I be using MediaMonkey or Songibrd?
Apart from the media issues I love the phone, but these issues are big for me since I use the options so often.
Thanks fellas!
Which iphone keyboard did you download and where?
I went to.the app market and typed : iPhone keyboard and saw one that looks just like.tthe iPhone one ill.download try it out and get back to you
Hi and welcome!
I have the same issues with mine and I thought it's because I have a crappy car.with a crappy stereo lol for me it hasnt been that bad since with.the iPhone I never did this, yeah I think that the overall smoothnes of the iPhone OS is hard to find in any other phone.
I don't think anyone will match the smoothness of iPhone. It's hard to do since they control every aspect of the phone (hardware and software). Samsung, HTC, Motorola just keep pumping out handsets left and right pumping up the hardware specs, while the software development doesn't move anywhere near the same pace and has no chance at catching up.
I agree and maybe some of these oems should stop and consider working on this because as much as im loving my new android phone for all the cool things it does the my iphone didn't, the user interface is one big drawback and an area where they def need to improve.
Unfortunately that's not their MO. They wow by packing in the hardware specs to capture new users and people upgrading, leaving everyone who bought their last phone 6 weeks ago in the dust. With android, you have to like the phone for what it does/is, not what you hope it becomes or is rumored to become. Plenty have been burned by the rumor mill.
You can go into the email app and select a ringtone that is different than your default one, you can also do the same in the messaging app
I have done that, but when the phone is off in the black screen the notification sound always takes precedence over any other notification sound assigned to the others on my phone and I can't turn off just the one notification so I can only hear the assigned text and email sounds. Starting to get really annoyed.
specifically what apps are you using.
you need to disable notifications in the stock apps you are not using.
for instance...
if you are using a text app like chomp sms or handcent ...you need to turn off notifications in the stock app
open the stock messaging app.menu.settings.notifications (something along those lines)
uncheck notifications.
that should kill your double notification
I called samsung yesterday and they confirmed there is no way around it...They worked with me for half hour and 3 people on their end with the phone in their hands. The phone is made this way. The notification setting off the home screen will always override all the other sounds except for the ring tone. There is no way to turn off the notification sound off of the home screen where you can get to the settings, the only option is silent and if this is chosen you wont get any notice whatsoever.... So pretty much personalized text sounds and email sounds are obsolete. So dumb..The only peronalized sound you can have is the notification sound in the home screen settings. But, if the phone is lit up and on, the sounds and songs that are assigned to the email and text messages will play. They just wont when the screen is dark and this is where the override comes into play with the main notification setting of the phone from the home screen. people want customization..I could not do this with my 3g iphone and now I can't with this phone? are you kidding me?
Please clarify exactly what you wish to do. The information you received is not incorrect. Stock android is a base, that is limited. Other applications add functionality
I can make suggestions but I need to know EXACTLY what you are trying to accomplish
