    Help Wrong unlock pattern, can't unlock

    OK, I've entered a wrong pattern too many times. The phone now asks for my gmail username and password. I tried to enter them, but it doesn't accept the credentials. They are certainly valid, I know because I logged in via web browser with the same name/pass and it works. What should I do now?

    Help MMS settings that work (Croatia)?

    Hi all. I ordered my Galaxy right when it came out and have been using it for about 8 months now. So far, I never had a need for sending MMS :) But now I do. I'm on Vipnet. How do I set up the APNs? Do I need to set up a separate APN for internet and a separate one for MMS or can one...

    What are the odds of Android 2.2 (Froyo) on the Galaxy?

    There have been some silly announcements of 2.2 Froyo being 450% faster than 2.1 Eclair. It's not important how much faster it will be... the important thing is they've seemingly worked on improving speed, which in turn probably means resource usage is lower, which could also mean hardware...

    Help Galaxy Can Stream Audio Over Bluetooth, Right?

    I'm planing to buy a bluetooth extension for my car audio system, but before I buy I want to verify whether it will cooperate with my mobile phone. I think I remember reading that the Galaxy can stream audio to a bluetooth headset. Is this true? And is it the same protocol used by car...

    Worth it just for the 1800 mAh battery?

    Beam is supposedly coming with a 1800 mAh battery. Now, for using the pico projector frequently that is probably underpowered, however, the projector is hardly going to see frequent use. So could this be the first smartphone with decent usage time for normal use? I currently own a...

    Galaxy Car Holder Question

    I want to buy a card holder and charger for my Galaxy. This is an example type sold on eBay: When I orientate the Galaxy as in the picture, it seems to me that the camera button ends up right below the upper of the three clips. For obvious reasons, I want all buttons to be...

    Help 72 Hours of Battery Life!

    I know, I know, it has been achieved before, but this is my first. I used to get up to two, two and a half days (48-60 hours) but today for the first time I pulled 72 straight. The phone still reports 22% charged and 3685 mV, but I think that there's no way it can last another 18 hours...

    Help How To Make Voice Search Work on 1.5?

    OK, I didn't use Voice Search before, but now I'd like to use it to look up definitions of words while I'm reading. How do I install it? I can't see it on the market and I haven't been able to find an .apk that would work. I'm on IL3. If you're on the same firmware, please elaborate how...

    Help Non-Adware Spare Parts?

    It was a surprise to me to discover yesterday that Spare Parts, the app we use to check the battery status, has gone adware. You can get the same information by typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. Does anyone know how to make that a shortcut? The best I was able to do was to dial it, and...

    Help Music Volume Lowered/Limited In 1.6?

    I've noticed today that on 1.6 I need to turn up the volume more in order to have the music be as loud as on 1.5. Is this my subjective impression or has anyone else noticed?

    Help Google Buzz Won't Work on the Galaxy

    Google Buzz Won't Work on the Galaxy... because it only works on 2.0 and above and Galaxy is 1.5. The list of Android applications that won't work on Galaxy is growing and with it my dissatisfaction. Google Goggles was cool but not something you'd use often, however, Buzz sounds like a...

    Help Ergonomics

    This is not a rant. I'm a programmer so I tend to notice details and here are some issues I've noticed with the design of Galaxy's hardware, presented without malice. 1. The [Back] button is wrongly positioned on the right side of the dialpad. It's the most used button. It should be the...

    Help Random Thoughts On Improving The UI

    1. The circle that rotates while something is loading should never stutter, if it does something is not as it should be. It should be in its own separate thread and have enough resources for its simple task. 2. Sometimes there is a lag between tapping an icon and the application launching...

    Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica is available, brings DivX to Android - GSMArena.com news This is not big, this is HUGE. The first Android to support DivX! Now, given that Spica shares a lot with our toy, can we "borrow" its player like we can borrow stuff from Behold?

    Help Better Battery Indicator Idea

    I've come up with an idea for a battery status indicator application. On my old Windows Mobile phone I had an application (abcPowerMeter) which could show the current power consumption of the phone. Like this: If we can get this on the Galaxy, then it can be coupled with the...

    Help Camera

    Today I went out, turned on GPS and a tracking app and took some 150 pictures before the battery died. I'm going over them now, adding tags and so on, and I can say that my initial impression that the camera is crap is now different. Perhaps it was because I took my first photos in really...

    Help Google Talk Client is Rather Buggy

    I'm on H8, but I don't think it matters as this is about Google Talk application which is by Google, not Samsung. It's buggy! Did anyone else notice? I'm not counting the occasional disconnects or other stuff that can be attributed to network issues. One particularly common problem is...

    How Does Galaxy Compare To The iPhone?

    Nah, this is not a flame thread :) I'm a long time WinMo user and I switched to Android recently. Bought Galaxy some two months ago. I like it. However, I've never owned an iPhone, in fact, I never even used an iPhone. So I am curious as to how the Galaxy compares with Apple's product...

    Idea: Use Camera Flash As Status LED

    This phone doesn't have any LED status lights. This not a terrible issue. It's a design decision by Samsung that plays on the fact that people don't usually keep the phone far away. But it occurred to me today that Camera Flash could be used in place of status LEDs. Obviously, it is larger...

    Help Galaxy Doesn't See The SIM Card

    Usually when I rebooted the phone I'd get the screen where I have to enter the PIN immediately after unlocking the screen. Now it's not there. Also, I can't access SMS messages on the SIM card nor contacts on the SIM card. This leads me to believe that Galaxy can't figure out that my SIM...
