The Unlocked Galaxy S of Samsung and variants of it are all plagued with an utterly troublesome GPS problem which produces incorrect and inaccurate readings from GPS. It is not only slow in getting locks of satellite for internal GPS, but also when a lock finally is obtained, it often reports the streets as the information of location to the phoneset, sometimes it even reports some remote or distant small towns quite away from the physical location of yours. It is no where at all gloom or doom for the owners of Galaxy S, because Samsung is very much aware of this recent problem with GPS and on Friday they tweeted that they have been under the process of examining a fix of current software. It is always expected by Samsung that they will have both the instruction of installation of the patch as well as itself which will be widely available in September to be downloaded.

While waiting as you do for Samsung as to when they will actually rollout the update, a few GPS settings can be changed manually by you yourself which is deep within the specific OS we are talking about and, trust me, it will also help a lot to improve the performance. If you are not at all scared of the thing which lies behind the menu of test mode of LBS, then our detailed set of information and instruction can easily be followed by u here. We derived the instructions referred from the very folks of xda developers who could take it on their shoulder the responsibility of crafting an ultimate fix for the GPS which is ailing for the Unlocked Galaxy I9000 S. This fix has been tested by us just the last month as we found it worth to be confirmed that somehow it also works as the helper of the Vibrant of Samsung.

Samsung is highly enthusiastic about a new product called the Windows Phone 7 whose handset is already available in the market in order to stretch its assisting hand to journalists and developers. We all know that throughout this period of time we have been handling hardware which was pre-produced using a software version that was even produced from before. We are reminded about this pre-production process, which is not an advantageous idea while introducing an entirely new product named Samsung i917, which is finally outed as official. It is named as Samsung Cetus. The word Cetus often reminds us of the worn fetus, but that point is out of discussion here.

The name Cetus was first thought of by Bluetooth Special Interest Group also known as Bluetooth SIG, in an online document supplying the detailed specification of the phone. The phone is actually provided with 4 inch 800 x 480 AMOLED screens with a camera of 5 mega pixel usually at the back of the phone along with a VGA in front of the set for video calling. Every other facility provided is actually found in most of the unlocked smartphones available these days. But the customers are still hoping that the software and the hardware of this phone is at par with the Unlocked Galaxy S smartphones. If the Windows phone 7 lives up to the level it had promised, this phone can turn out to be huge for Samsung.

In the market of smartphones in US, they continue to captivate and enchant: the Epic- Unlocked iPhone 4G along with HTC, Motorola, Apple and RIM can easily cement the chances of this new innovation of Samsung. And this phone would certainly provide a nice edge to its Korean counterpart who has actually failed to make waves in the market after the Ally. Hence the discovery of the new i917 by Samsung should be implemented effectively in order to make a difference in the market.

The Unlocked Samsung S Galaxy has stormed into the market and has definitely created waves of excitement among the people who are interested in technology. We had received some news that the Android 2.2 was being put through a test run on the Samsung Galaxy S and as far as what we had heard, the outcome of these tests have been pretty good and we are waiting for the sign from the company which will signal the release of this product for the common public. In this relation, we have also received the news that this release will be around September. However this release will not be made for any of the US handsets, as it will be only for the original model of the Galaxy S which is sold internationally. In terms of the US release, the time frame for this update will not be very long. The time in which the Galaxy S will be getting the Froyo will be the fastest since the launch of the product.

There are a number of ups and downs to this mobilephones as the TouchWiz UI is not really as good as the ones in the other customized Android phones like the HTC Sense. The also has some upsides as the time it takes for such kind of user interfaces will allow the customized skins to be operated easily and not only that, the update for the platform will be easier to get it out to the public. In terms of the September release date, the time length is pretty good. In that intervening time, one only has the task of waiting for some new phone to hit the market. In spite of all the issues, this phone is great and we want to see what will be included in this total package.

There seems to be a plethora of new firmware updates for Samsung’s Unlocked ( i8910 ) HD mobile phone. It received yet another unofficial firmware update with the version HX7 having been released. Although Samsung itself has not shown itself to be all too eager to provide updates for its Symbian powered smartphone, the i8910 HD, the community of hackers who happen to own this power packed multimedia mobile set has been keen to continually provide improvements for the device. These tech-savvy users are bringing quite a number fixes and enhancements.

Previous such firmware updates (like the HV-V5) included fixing a Java certification problem and improving the battery life. Also disk space on C: was maximised, there was an improvement in the quality of images, etc

Among the most recent upgrades of the phone is one designated as HX7 also known as the “Black Pearl.” With this offering, the interface settings have been improved with the inclusion of kinetic scrolling. The camera now saves pictures or video clips with a yyy:mm:dd format rather than the usual text. The Wireless LAN power has been set back to normal, but this can be changed if required under the Settings. The threaded SMS feature is retained and pocket data connection has reverted to normal. There are added effects to the 3-D taskbar switcher. The widget homescreen gadget.swf has been shifted to the e:\ drive. The Musicplayer now searched only the e:\music and f:\ music folders instead of making a full scan for media. And of course, there has been an approximate 20% improvement in the battery life.
Also, the QT 4.6.2 Symbian libraries are built-in with this release which is notable because QT is one of the key features of the Symbian OS. .
It is to be noted all data on C: will be erased after the update. Hence, proper backups or transfer of files to other disks is necessary before installing the firmware upgrade.

Samsung has released its next batch of top Bada applications and as usual EA Games’ prime offering – Need for Speed: Shift is at the top of the heap. This is quite as expected, since it was being given away for nothing to the first half million people to have bought Samsung Wave.

What Samsung has in mind with creating this platform is quite clear – Bada (which is a Korean word for “ocean”), released in 2010, is a closed platform owned and controlled by Samsung, and all applications for Bada have to be approved by Samsung and the only way of selling them is via the online store – ‘Samsung Apps’. It is meant to provide the features of unlocked smart phones at a more universally affordable price, and comes with a development platform, which though nothing over-the-top in functionality is at least pretty comprehensive. There are sufficient UI controls, Flash, sensors, OpenGL graphics, SNS integration etc. The drawbacks are a lack multitasking provisions which makes quite a dent in making Bada universally competitive.

With the Wave, Samsung’s first device that is Bada compatible that has been released on the market, the reasons for using Bada have been given a boost. Still, other than EA no other famous gaming brand has lent its support. The other top Bada apps include Magic App’s Magic Torch, Caligo Chaser from Com2us, Stars Map coming from Rightbrain Communications and Leszek Bartkowski’s 3Bloki.
It is essential for Samsung Mobile Phones to try and get more major game publishers to make apps for its Bada platform. Only EA from among the recognizable names doesn’t really mean much in the long run. Moreover, more high-end devices are the need of the hour – fitting somewhat into this category are the Wave 2 and the Wave 2 Pro – given the alternative that Samsung makes good Android phones and has plans for Windows Phone 7 support.

With Blackberry making headways with its new videos and also making headlines with their new outlets in mainland china along with that Apple’s iPhone has launched several appearances to build popularity, in the same way not to be thrown out of competition the Samsung has brought out its own line of models: the Samsung Galaxy.

But this new model has run into some troubled waters even before it is launched as the official Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.2 test ROM leaking out from Samsung Mobile. However, you can be completely sure that the leakage is not going to have any effect on any of the popularity of the models and as such, you can be sure that the leak is a gimmick to increase its popularity. Simply created as a way to increase the hype and propaganda surrounding the phone. In fact, it seems that Samsung is not wasting any time at all in getting the latest release of the Android OS onto the phone. Codenamed as Froyo, this is one of the best that you can choose as it comes bundled along with the TouchWiz 3.0 UI.

But if you are a tech freak and do tend to fiddle into the hard wares and soft wares of recently released products and accidently if you hit upon a glitch in the Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.2 leaked ROM, then don’t be alarmed or overwhelmed because the product is still in the test phase and the company assures that there will be many more changes and inclusion in the final model and the ROM before its released.
People are hoping and wishing that the manufactures would take a hint and hurry up on the Froyo development. But having said that, it’s well known that the Samsung TouchWiz UI is nowhere near the performance and efficiency of the Android OS type skins, for example: the HTC sense.

Samsung has always been reluctant to add ‘add-ons’ to their products. They don’t seem too willing to add an upgrade to their models. If it’s required, Samsung brings out a new line of models which would have the upgrade. But the hacking community doesn’t like such Samsung policies and are keen to fiddle with the inner workings of the unlocked mobile phones.

This is the same scenario with the Samsung’s latest brain child: the Samsung i8910 HD smartphone. To the hacking community, this Symbian powered model did seem not ‘up to date’ or so as to say ‘upgraded’. They had their powerful multimedia device to improvise on any and all models they got interested in. The latest Unlocked Samsung Mobile Phone has to bear the brunt of being stripped and tinkered with. This improvement hasn’t been part of Samsungs idea but unwittingly they find the upgraded version available for whoever wants it. It’s being called as the HX7 aka ‘Black Pearl’. The improvements include enhanced interface settings with kinetic scrolling. There is also a camera which saves the images and videos in the format “yyyy.mm.dd”. There has also been a minor change in the Wlan power which is brought back to the normal style. So also with the threaded SMS and pocket data. Along with this there is the inclusion of the ‘Wow’ effect to that of the 3D taskmaster. The music player is made a bit smarter and reliable. It now searches through only the e:\music and f:\music drives instead of going through every folder nonsensically. Along with these improvements there is also the added benefit of the battery life extended. With the new firm ware it seems that longitivity of the battery is extended to about 20 percent. But these benefits come at a stiff price. The warranty fails to exist as soon as the new firmware is added.

Samsung has always been keen on keeping its old devices upgraded and up to date with the latest applications. This trend is to be continued for Samsung Code for MetroPCS with the mobile 6.5 update. This is indeed a positive intent that is exhibited by Samsung to keep its old devices updated regularly. The software repair is sure to be well accepted. This had previously happened for Epic i907. Samsung phone owners will hope for more such innovative ways of keeping a particular model alive in the market by bringing fresh changes to existing sets.

The Samsung code for MetroPCS is known to be the first Windows Mobile Powered smartphone (Unlocked I9000 Galaxy S). The Samsung code for MetroPCS has really emerged as hugely popular even though it might not be the best phone around. Few characteristics of the phone make it special compared to the rest. This latest addition will obviously help it a great deal. Windows mobile handsets are numerous in the market but Samsung code for MetroPCS are clear favorites to be the most noted phone.

The latest update has brought about great amount of rumors and comments and people eagerly anticipating this update. This is hugely i8mpactful move, which will be a boon for all Samsung mobilephone owners. They have been waiting for this and the upgrade is about to happen very soon. The update had been stalled for sometime recently because of a technical difficulty with Samsung considering replacing the previous mobile 6.1 update with a brand new version. However, that has been sorted out and it is finalized that Samsung code for MetroPCS will be getting the mobile 6.5 update. This is good news and people will be expecting this update to happen as soon as possible. Samsung’s reputation will definitely profit from this move if not anything else.
