All of the ones's below are addressed to Samsung and to anyone else experiencing these stuff. please feel free to give comments.



1. BUG!!! when surfing the internet using the in-built browser (or any 3rd-party browser) 10/10 times the Auto-fit function does not work. And this is for ANY website I have tried so far.

2. a way to enhance and smoothen how an app (or an acitivty like playing music or watching a video) closes and goes back to the main home screen ala iPhone. (READ: the way it fades back or a millisecond door closing like the iPhone)

3. a way for the auto-rotate function smoothly and better like the iPhone. The Galaxy S rotates “roughly” and the 1GHX processor surely should do something like what the iPhone does. And a lot better!

4. a way to “boost” the in-built wi-fi signal. My router is N-standard and when I go to my room which is 7 steps away (and only blocked by a small thin wall) the signal greatly degrades which In my opinion is odd.

5. a way to be able to use some Google or 3rd party app or when doing another task (like looking through photos) when playing an MP3 file on the background. For example in my experience when I was playing an MP3 file and when I went to Google Maps the music stops playing. Why???

6. URGENT!!! multitasking please to be a norm! Surely with a 1GHz processor there should me very minimal slowdown when opening and using multiple apps; 4 out of 10 times the phone freezes and goes very slow when doing multiple tasks and the more files (especially music and videos) you put on it.

7. when playing an MP3 file to use the 5.1 channel surround sound function “in conjunction” or “in unison” even if the Equaliser and the Effect function are set to a user's preference.

8. on the Main and Applications home screen the ability to sift through each home screen continously. For example if I was on home screen # 7 and I want to go back to home screen #1 without having to press the main center “Home button” and going back 7 steps why not make sifting through home screens continously. Can you see what I mean by this?

9. swipe sideways to unlock like the iPhone

10. a battery-saving app please!!! i've charged my brand-new Galaxy S and once I start using it (just using weather, news and watching a video) the battery slowly starts fading away after say 15 minutes. although not overly fading away.

11. BUG??? when the 3G/HSDPA signal is too low (between 0 to 2 bars which is beyond my control) the wi-fi is automatically turned-on for some reason.

12. when zooming in on a photo (using pinch-to-zoom) taken from the phone the picture doesn't “sharpens” itself unlike the iPhone

again, these things are non-exhaustive and more might turn up. these are all based on my 2-weeks with my brand new Galaxy S.
please feel free to give your comments......

 

i'm sure with the 2.2 (and future updates) will fix some if not all of these issues. i know it's still too early to tell but i hope Samsung (and Google) is actually listening and doing something....

 

JM2?

you mentioned the battery last way longer? how many apps and media files (i.e. music and videos) have you got? and have you done multitasking? like say listening to an MP3 player while using Google apps (Maps, Latitude,etc.) or looking through photos?

 

hiya

as regards #1 i tried double tapping it but the tezt become enlarged that i need to swype it from side to sides. still...the Auto-fit functionality is NON-EXISTENT in my Galaxy S. IMO this is a bug!

regards # 2 my firmware is 2.1 update 1. i still think 3 out 10 times the apps doesn't close smoothly like what the iPhone does.

regards # 4 the wi-fi signal on my Galaxy S drops significantly when i'm in my room a bit further from my router. this seems to be odd because my flat is not that big and i expect a wi-fi signal to be better.

regards # 5 the music player DOES continue to play even if say i surf the net or look at BBC news or Sky news app or Google Maps. sometimes it just pauses or stops and there was an instant that it crashed. IMO this is a bug that needs fixing!

regards # 6 this is very urgent stuff. there is minimal (although not considerable) slowdown when doing multiple tasks on the Galaxy S. that's my experience so far anyway.

regrads # 7 test it now. why do i need to set everything to 'Normal' in order to use the 5.1? stupid really!

regards # 8 neat one! thanks for the sugestion...

regards # 9. firmware is mentioned as above. i unlock by swiping it "upways" using this "transparent" screen. no option to change how you unlock the phone. or maybe i don't know yet. any sugestions?

regards # 10. try it. the battery on my one (again although not too significant) is just...doesn't last that long to me. super AMOLEDs supposed to save power/battery life by atleast 20-30% i think. not too evident on my Galaxy S.

regards # 12. the photo taken from my phone doesn't re-sharpens itself and it becomes blurry when zooming-in. any explanation or sugestions?

 

my Galaxy S is fully charged the following morning....

with Facebook, Twitter, Google apps, GPS turned off and...

brightness set to Auto and my profile set to Normal...

by end of the day (say around 9pm) the battery is less than 30% and was "told" by my phone to charge her.

does that sound strange to you? you think there must be something wrong with my battery?

 

i also noticed another bug. whilst i'm listening to my MP3 files and when i go to gallery and viewing my photos, etc. the music mysteriously skips to the next song. anyone noticed this?

 

i supposed until we get the elusive 2.2 update then we'll have to grind our teeth till Google approves and Samsung releases it....


but it's frustrating....
