Samsung I9000 Galaxy S - User Reviews

  • My first smartphone. I paid £300 for it when it was released. Alot has changed since then now I own a S7

  • still power on 8-12-2019 well made phone. Sadly we are part of the matrix and they will make your hardware obsolete with new software! Some of my phones, Galaxy S, Galaxy S3, Galaxy note 4, current Galaxy note 9. Phones this days should last you good 3 to 5 years having a good protecting case, as always the problem is the software makes it outdated when the hardware still good. Is a shame that today's phones are priced from $700 to a $1000 and they become obsolete so quick.

  • This is the main reason why I moved on Note 4 after 5 years of S1

  • Still have one. not usable even in job, just leave it like nostalgia for your grandchildren

  • No one has commented since 24 Nov 2015. I'm commenting in 14 Feb 2019! 3 years later!

  • Whats app downlod

  • how to update credential certificates because expire

  • TBH It probably could XD

  • I wonder if this can run Android 8.1 Oreo (CUSTOM ROM)

  • it won't work, whatsapp doesn't support old phones anymore. I even tried older versions of whatsapp. if you wan't whatsapp, you need android 4 minimum.

  • am trying to install whatsapp but it can't open it please help

  • If your Galaxy S still work and you want to use the device for practical tasks, this is what I did to keep it faster as after hard reset. Download apk extractor and save all your fav apps, then reset to factory settings and install all the apps from the apk files extracted, never set a gmail account on Play Store or Gmail to avoid to update Google Services. You can log in your gmail account by the native Email app. That way you will keep the phone working in an aceptable perfomance.

  • The Galaxy Beam's base.

  • what do I do if it says(missing ID URI) I'm trying to set up my email ayddress

  • I have a Galaxy A3 (2016), Galaxy Y and a Galaxy S I9000!

  • My phone whats app work no

  • If you're adventurous (and rooted with ClockworkMod, etc) you can also update to 6.0.1 with OMNI ROM or Full Advance (also based on OMNI). I just did this couple of days ago (from SlimKAT 4.4). Slower, way slower, of course than 4.4. But fully working 6.0.1 if you need one. Just remember to install the pico (smallest) version of Open GAPPS (system partition is too small for larger packages). More here:

  • ireset my phone and it as refuse to work

  • go to xda developers and look for lineage os 4.4, it will work very well holding facebook lite, whatsapp and many other apps, but obviously it wont run heavy apps such as uber or games

  • Hello. My GT-i9000 was phased out of whatapp early this year on matters of OS or something related. How can I upgrade it to a later OS version?

  • i know its sucks you cant go on whats app

  • wrong !

  • This is my first Samsung and also my first Android phone after 8 years of Symbian Nokias. I bought it on 25/8/2010 when almost no one had Android. It worked flawlessly for almost 3 years when it just died. To this day I still remember every DarkyROM I've flashed onto it. Those were the days!!

  • Not anymore unfortunately...

  • bro in this phone what's app working or not ???????

  • i still use this phone i have other phones but i still use this

  • Get a new phone. This one is so old it can bearely do anything.

  • same experience. I too bought galaxy S GT I9000 in Nov 2011. Really worth the money and the best part is am still using it. Galaxy S

  • Well said.

  • Watching YouTube live on the app force closes or lags. Any solutions?

  • Why not, you don't need to have always the LATEST and GREATEST model of the phone, as this is probably getting more and faster older than some years ago high-end phones did.

  • my phone was stole but the only thing i can remember about the phone make is the device model number SM-G900H

  • bought in nov 2011. used continuously for 3 1\2 yrs worked perfectly except for few software hang ups Still working superb for calls and messages. supports many applications even today but some slowly very great old horse still running well. kudos to the Samsung company that made such a marvelous phone in those days we can recollect that this is the phone that changed the mobile phone world from feature phones to smartphones great beginner from great company that changed the course of the company and of the mobile world

  • yes, poor people lol. I got a J3 6 and Iphone S5 but i'm stil using My Gt I9000. It's fonction perfctly.

  • I had this phone until I wanted to buy Note 7 but the battery explodes and I thought that I could wait until Galaxy s8 edge comes out and I buy it :| I rarely use my phone now.

  • I don't use it as my main phone, but it's alright if you put something like cyanogen on to it

  • Lol you are enjoying this phone in 2016?

  • best product.. Galaxy S series S7 Edge

  • Good phone,am really enjoying it.

  • No, that's because your battery is old, and can't hold a charge anymore.

  • hi your phone is 6 year old get a new phone i recommend the Samsung galaxy J5

  • The phone goes great with CyanogenMod but my device is old so got a new battery and yeah the phone works good but slow its obvious because it has 500mb RAM but the important part is it runs

  • Key board

  • My samsung galaxy overheated when i am charging it. by the time it is fully charge and take off the charger it drains the battery and automatically shots down. is it because the cp is old?

  • Can help me to replace my s1 display with touchpad?

  • I can still update this phone with Cyanogenmod and it still runs modern Android apps with no problems.

  • Nope.. the version requirement of Clash of Clash is android 4.0 ice cream sandwich and higher

  • I have and it works without problem with CyanogenMod 11

  • Someone still uses this phone...

  • Sir my samsung s seems to automatically open its packet data . cause in the upper portion the H bar or the E is appearing . Please help me .

  • some one can speak with me i have some problems with this phon :)

  • via bluetooth dude.

  • can i download clash of clans on this phone?

  • It is upgradable to android 2.3.6 and viber can run on it

  • how can i transfer music from samsung galaxy s to other phones,please i need your kind response.cheer!!!

  • how did you get rid of boot loop problem please ? I have the same problem . thnx

  • Probably becasue the phone is like 6 years old and runs Android 2.1 :D You can 't expect that to be compatible with Viber lol

  • i got samsung galaxy s but i cannot install viber and other app

  • I got 2 Galaxy S1 but RAM is not 512mb he is so stupid phone, no buy him, game who is i play on him is Hill Climb Racing, cant better!

  • i got samsung galaxy s but i cannot install viber and other app

  • I have been using this phone for more thn 3yrs but unfortunately it fell from me and the power button damaged. The repairer said th power button positive damaged. I wanna know as wether you people have an idea on repairing.

  • Camera is not working properly at some time,is it software problem?

  • Really?

  • I've had this phone for 3 years and for the most part it's a decent phone. I've dropped it more times than I can even begin to count and aside from a few scratches and dings it's still in great condition. After about a year and a half the phone stopped charging though and I had to replace it. Luckily I was able to do that for very cheap. Unfortunately this is starting to happen again. Another problem with this phone is that mine freezes quite a bit, though just for short periods of time. It also runs pretty slow and has practically no memory space. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone, it's a pretty old phone, but I would recommend a newer Galaxy S in it's place. It's a good brand.

  • I have Android 6.1 (Jellydoughnut) on mine. Works great.

  • You can install new os by upgrading your phone to custom rom. I have ICS running on it, and I can get the latest one, too.

  • the latest version it can run is Android 2.3.6

  • Same here, still have my captivate rocking slimbean. Gets the job done

  • in this mobile what is the last highest android version of company released and it is possible or not to set an additional sim slot ? pls friends tell me its urgent

  • My first android smrtphone sgs 2010. My currently using device guess what? The same device that I buyed in 2010 freaking five yyears. without even a battery change I still rocking this phone with cyanogenmod. It has it flaws but best phone ever to me.

You can' expect from it running a lot of stuff in background and not lagging. Stays perfect in my pocket. The biggest con is it has no flashlight. I cracked the screen dropping it on the ground with force. Has to change the screen, that came faulty a bit(the digitizer came with faulty touch buttons that permanently switches my phone on). Switched to HTC one. As soon as I get a new working screen

  • Has been able to skype video call from day 1. I just loaded the app from the 3 network across to my unlocked phone and it worked fine, a few months later and Skype released a general Skype app for android that obviously worked as well. I got skype to work on a non 3 network phone before anyone I think because 3 owned skype and I had a three sim in an unlocked phone (gs1) I had the apk, but even when I went on sites like xda, all the crack was when is skype coming out for android , they had a post from a top skype guy saying it was coming soon, but no one even replied to me when I said I had a working apk. As soon as the new apk came out I simply upgrade to the new one but some wher on my i9000 I still have the first apk. Skype categorically has always worked on the i9000 but the problem started with the last android official update where the ram left is barely enough to keep the video call going. My gs1 is so well kept I could put it back in the box and convince you it was new , its not rooted or messed with, I say that because I bet the guys who've rooted and released more ram get a good skype experience.

  • where do you find the software from 4.4.2 kitkat for the samsung galaxy i9000? please write me as soon as possible , thanks !

  • can i upgrade gt I9000 to kitkat?

  • Just upgraded to KitKat (4.4.2) and I have to say, I'm impressed, for a small phone made in 2011, it's still impressively quick. Though KitKat was intended to work with low memory environments so perhaps that explains it. It all seems to work, though I can't seem to find any battery saving options in settings. Well worth it, though it takes a while and it's not simple. If you can rebuild re-install your computer, you can do this... For those interested in "how" then you first need to root your phone and install clockwork mod, the root exploit you use will depend on the baseband version you have, (the three or four letters on the end, mine is jzxq, so I used a jzx root flash, or something like that.) then make a full backup with clockwork mod. Back that up to your PC. Then reset to factory defaults. Then you flash the kitkat ROM, (from xda-developers) reboot. Check it comes up. If it comes up, then back into clockwork mod to flash the Google apps. Then reboot, and you're done. If you don't flash Gapps, you don't get Play or Gmail, etc.

  • I still have this phone. 3 yrs with me already. A very reliable phone. I have flashed custom ROM a hundred times on this phone and now i have flashed android 4.4.2 (kitkat) and what can i say... it runs smoother than ever and my games plays smoother too. The battery is still good. Now i bought a new Lenovo S930 installed with 4.2.2. Both are happy to be in my pocket :)

  • I have to really say that this phone is kinda too old model right now. I had this phone(Galaxy S) since 2010. This phone is so bad that I couldn't even play Temple run and other games lags like hell. Don't buy this phone if your a game lover. Go for Galaxy Core or Xperia L. Those are much better.

When i first got this phone it was fast but put a few apps on in and it's slowwer than trying to download a 1080p movie with GPRS. So I wouldn't advise someone to get this phone only if your just going to use it as an music player only because it has the best music player I have ever seen/use.

  • Also, before step 3 after backup of SMS contacts and personal data on internal SD to PC, you must format the internal SD of your phone. for more, reach me on wechat if you like. My ID is Isamah_N

  • STEP 1. INSTRUCTIONS FILES NEEDED.(Odin and Stock firmware) STEP 2 INSTRUCTIONS FILES NEEDED.(Odin, Stock firmware, CF-Root download, INSTRUCTIONS STEP 3 Please backup your SMS, contacts and internal SD to your PC. NOTE: Samsung Kais will not work anymore after step 3. 1. Download the prebuilt release of CyanogenMod you wish to install from http://cm-10.1-20130522-NIGHTLY- galaxysmtd.zip Optional: Download gapps supplemental 3rd- party applications packages for Samsung Galaxy S-I9000 from ­ a must. 2. Place the CyanogenMod rom .zip file on the root of the SD card: Transfer your file(s): adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/ If you boot directly to recovery and have an internal sdcard, you may need to run adb shell mount /data or mount data through the recovery menu before transferring. lmportant: Place the downloaded gapps supplemental packages (eg Google Apps or kernel) .zip file(s) on the root of the SD card. 3. Boot to recovery mode on the device by holding Vol Up & Vol Down & Power or Vol Up & Home & Power. 4. Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm your selection, although for some devices the power button is used as a "back" button to go up one level, in which case the home button is used to confirm the selection. 5. Select the option to wipe data/factory reset . 6. Select install zip from sdcard . 7. Select choose zip from sdcard. 8. Select the CyanogenMod file you placed on the sdcard. You will then need to then confirm that you do wish to flash this file. Important: Install the gapps package using the same method. 9. Once both installations are finished, return back to the main menu, and select the reboot system now option. The device should now boot into CyanogenMod. I modified STEP 3 to save you time, errors and waste of your internet data. Compare step 3 with the link below but focus on " Installing CyanogenMod from recovery" on the page.

  • Mate, whats wrong with you? I owned this phone for about a year and let me say it was a darn good phone. Yes maybe its not the best phone but you can install a custom kernal and rom, there was hardly any lag when i did this, so quick. The gps was a bit inaccurate but it didn't matter, you quickly figure out where you are. So think twice before you criticise this awesome phone, iphone you can't do crap unless you jailbreak, but now they've patched it with new updates lol.

  • Worst phone I have ever owned. Huge problem with lag when you install even a moderate amount of apps / use up even a moderate amount of space. I wouldn't care about design if the phone performed as a smart phone should, but since the I9000 doesn't, this phone feels very cheap and flimsy in the hand. The camera is terrible. Internet browsing, WiFi or 3g, is painfully slow due to the phone's lag. It performs at a veritable crawl on 3g even in areas with excellent coverage. Its GPS is inaccurate even without a phone case with a magnetically sealing cover. This phone is unusable. Do not buy it.

  • ya

  • I just got rid of my iPhone 3GS which started to feel old and boring, (WHICH IT IS) and I got this phone and am blown away by the power and complexity of this outstanding tool, it makes iPhones look like NOKIAS!... best of all I got it second hand for almost nothing.. it compliments my Galaxy Tab 10.1.. I am never going to be CHAINED to damn iTunes again, which limits the user, considerably.. Apple treat their customers like idiot's, you cant even change the battery without going to a technician.. no SD support, no easy share with friends... I say "you never own an iPhone, it always on loan" I am liberated and converted, SAMSUNG rule the World now.. the best phones in the world..

  • no doubt galaxy s is better in performance... galaxy s vs galaxy s duos 720p HD video reccording vs vga video recording power vr 504 gpu vs adreno 200 cortex a8 cpu vs cortex a5

  • Camera Problem Can capture only videos, no still images, gets corrupted after capture.... cant fixed after flash...

  • galaxy s is superb phone...

  • Compairing this unit to the Cherry Mobile S100. The S100 has better hardware performance as bench-marked using antutu benchmarking application.. Considering the price of S100 w/c I can say the cheapest android phone running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4.. Playing NBA 2k13 and Need For Speed is smooth on S100... So better buy S100 than SGS.. ^_^

  • GamerzRom which is a JB 4.2.2 and C-Rom Mix v16...I suggested you C-Rom Mix v16..its the most stable ROM so far.

  • @Anonymous 2013-04-13 If you have not used the GPS for a long time it might have to load a full GPS almanac, which takes 12.5 minutes to receive. Same for all GPS devices. Things to try: 1. Install app "GPS Status", which shows satellites one by one as they come into view in the sky. Test with GPS Status. 2. In status menu, turn GPS off, then on. Test with GPS Status. 3. Restart phone. Test with GPS Status.

  • I just found SlimRom - going to flash it this evening :)

  • Log on to www.google.com type i9000 xda developers and hit enter, select the very first link, this will open SGS i9000 android rom developement page and on that page you will find a threads with diff ROMS and Kernels, so select ROM as per your choice or needs, download ROM which is in a ZIP file, transfer it to your phone Internal Memory and flash it using CWM recovery mode, your phone will be restarted and your can start using your phone. MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED, If its not then you need to root your phone first, to know how to root there are many videos available on YouTube.

  • The other way to update your phone is by using ODIN tool. But using ODIN tool will void your phone warranty. If you still want to use ODIN tool to update your phone with Stock GB 2.3.6 or custom versions of Jelly Bean 4.2.2 then you may proceed by logging on to www.xda-developers.com, but make sure you read complete instruction and then proceed further, I had GB 2.3.6 but after rooting my phone I got JB 4.2.2 installed. I am using C-Rom v15 based on JB 4.2.2 and if you install this you will get S4 look,apart from that it comes with a DSP Manager,its a Sound Enhancement plug-in which will create a big improvement in your phone sound output through headphones.

  • Download and Install KEIS on your computer, plug your phone with your computer with a USB cable, you device will with KEIS and will give you a prompt that update is available for your phone and you just need to follow the instruction.....that's it .....your phone will be updated with a latest GB 2.3.6.

  • Guys... Am goin 2 buy this one?is there any suggestions???

  • this is shit bro!!!

  • this is awesome phone which i never ever used!!! network --- too good, body--- slim & shining display---super amoled capacitive touchscreen, 16million colors is so fantastic, sound --- very good, memory---16gb its fully satisfied, connectivity--- is so fast as i expecting for my daily official work camera---its so so so good clarity but no led flash features---all are good to use & its not struck up any where finally its a best phone friends no need to hesitate you can buy this phone in average prices

  • Don't worry, you have 512MB of RAM. It tells you that you have less because it doesn't show the amount used by the operating system itself.

  • what is the real price of this fone? i wan na no thks

  • Yeah I agree. It's always marketed as 512mb but they bring the ram down. Just use a custom rom from xda and they have jelly bean. It's heaps fast and you get more ram.

  • in this phone, only 329 Mb RAM.

  • It can be upgraded to 4.1.2 or 4.2 Android Cyanogen mod. boot time is 40% less then on officialy Rom. I had this phone twice.

  • Hi, I am using Samsung galaxy s GT-I9000. I would like to upgrade it to latest jelly bean version. Can anyone please help me step wise on getting it updated?

  • No, get something newer if you can afford it. This phone is quite old.

  • Should it still worth to purchase?

  • What is with RAM of my phone, everywhere people says it has 512 MB of RAM and i hoped it will be great if i buy it, but when i get it and started to use i notice it has lags sometimes, why? my RAM is actually 329 MB no 512 MB, it is almost 200 MB, why i can't have all my complete RAM, all of 512 MB how you says on the internet on every page i read. and why you forgot for this phones, i9000 too want to have offical ROM jelly bean, why we can't get update for this ROM, while samsung galaxy mini2 which is smaller and slower phone will get it?it is not cool! fix it make things better if you say they will be better, don't just say soo much good things and then give us just half of it. this is it from me from Croatia, sorry for my bad english, i hope you will understand me and fix it.

  • This phone will receive the ICS update this May.

  • I've been using Galaxy S since Dec 2010. No root or flash, it's pretty standard. Nice display although consuming a lot of juice, not to mention if you always hook to 3G at all times. Still performs quite well for many apps out there, except for HD games. It somewhat laggy when switching between language packs while you're typing. Sometimes the screen doesn't turn on when you push home or power button. You need to restart it then. Sometimes also no sound's coming out through headset.

  • Awesome phone. I love the display!

  • superb...... no wrds,....

  • superb......

  • Awesome phone...simply super..no words..superb display clarity..

  • Is this Samsung I9000 only single SIM or double?

  • can i use video call Skype on sumsung galaxy s?

  • Dude I really want to root my galaxy s 2.3.6 indian version but I cant find a method exactly if u guys know please reply to this post

  • Pretty good phone. I have only a few negative points: 1. The official back cover is very slippery. 2. Forget using the official firmware and get a better one from - you would be surprised about how big a difference replacing the Samsung's crap with real software can make. 3. It should have more RAM - especially later incarnations of Google Chrome like to eat all the RAM on this device and as a result, background applications suffer. 4. The power button is on the side of the device and will be accidentally pressed as a result.

  • xperia arc for camera(galaxy s also good but not as arc) and video recording or galxy s for faster ui, better gpu, screen, sound, internal storage. choose galaxy s i9000(dont buy galaxy s plus and galaxy sl)

  • I had an iPhone prior to the galaxy s. Not much difference and speed is also similar. Plenty of apps but not scrutinized as good as the iphone. I have the Walmart cell service (straight Talk) and costs $45 / month for unlimited everything. Can't beat it -very satisfied.

  • Try C-Rom Mix based on Cyanogenmod 4.2.1,it had a look and feel of Galaxy S3 and lots a tweaks.

  • I suggest i9000... Reason why ? Main reason is Xperia Arc or Arc S comes with a limited Internal Storage which is too less. You will end up running out of space after installing 10-15 apps. It lag a lot unlike Samsung Galaxy S i9000 which works like a charm on Jelly Bean 4.2.1.

  • Its does support ICS & Jelly Bean too.

  • Xperia arc is a better choice..

  • Can anyone help me to chose which phone is better and which i should buy..Samsung I9000 Galaxy S or Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc someone please reply

  • ok

  • i have installed cyanogenmod 10 (jellybean 4.1.2) after gingerbread 2.3.4 and it works like...butter, you dont have touchwiz anymore but it works great

  • My experience of 2 years with the I9000 got me finally to stick with CM 7.2. I have tried CM 9, CM 10, CM 10.1, but the hardware is not quite as powerful as needed for the later ones.

  • You can upgrade it by using CM10 (thats mod-the only way to get 4.1.2.

  • i cant get facebook mobile on i900 is there something wrong with my phome

  • How to increase internal memory?? my mobile is saying insufficient memory while i am downloading any thing?? Regards and waiting Fawad

  • No..cause it uses single core processor...JB uses H/W accelaration..& in a single core processor it will be very slow & hang the Device..

  • Yes the I9000 Galaxy S can run Jellybean and run it well as far as I am concerned as I am using it. You have to just make sure you follow the exact procedures for your exact model and baseband. Look in system settings>about phone for Model number and very importantly Baseband version then read through the forums on XDA for the necessary steps to take. Take your time, read through the threads until you are familiar with what you are doing and always have a backup before proceeding.

  • No

  • There is non Official Jelly Bean from Samsung to the Galaxy S, but you can get it with flashing with Cyanogen ROM (CM10) based on Jelly Been. Thanks to search in Google.

  • @The Brat I have used the 32 GB version of SanDisk Mobile Ultra on the Galaxy S, it works fine. PC speed test H2TestW 1.4: Write 10.8 MB/s, read 31.7 MB/s. If you put your photos on the card, the gallery app is significant faster. I now use an even faster microSDHC card Samsung Pro 32 GB, write: 18.2 MB/s, read 54.3 MB/s, however that gives no noticeable speed advantage, probably both cards exceeds the Galaxy S interface speed. Samsung Pro microSDHC:

  • do the galaxy s local version has antenna? pls reply thnks

  • The phone is great!I've had it for a year now, and the old cons that I would pick out would be the no update to 4.0 ICS (rooting isn't fun), the quite noisy camera (no flash either), and the quite pixelated screen. Other than that, its quite fast, and the SAMOLED certainly is a sight to behold, even though there is only 4" of it. I would own this phone any day over an iPhone 4. Good work Samsung!

  • You may have to get a new charger, as this happened to me before. If you look at the charger head on the charger unit, then if it is missing a gold terminal, then that means the charger doesn't work anymore.

  • There is, just scroll across until you see fm radio, try a factory reset if not there.

  • well turn phn on, if it's locked, then press the middle button, and then swipe left or right to unlock screen . IF you can see blue cog wheel icon then press that (it's settings). 1. However you probably need to press the bottom right icon first which should be a blue window. 2. then scroll right until you find the blue cog wheel, press that. 3. You should now be looking at a menu....the quick way is to scroll down and look for the A icon and then press that. 4. now you should have a menu with all the different languages. just in case step 3 doesnt work (although i tested it and it should still be an A icon) then scroll to the very bottom of the menu screen, and then select locale and text which is your 5th choice if you count 5 upwards from the bottom of menu.

  • Fahad does skype video call work on this mobile ?????????? Yes works fine.

  • Jelly Bean (4.1) is the latest Android firmware and this phone doesn't have official support/update for it. The only way to get Jelly Bean or Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) is to install custom firmware which needs rooting your phone, install ClockWorkMod, etc and it voids warranty, unless you reverse the process and reinstall stock OS. For your use, the stock functions and OS is more than enough. You get to play most games on Google Play (Market) as well. Not sure how it will run on 3D games/apps though. Hope I helped

  • How can we install GOOGLE PLAY APP on this phone. I have tried so many things. I used APK file as well but the app never works........ Please guide me regarding this. thanks

  • Getting this phone since it launched until now. Currently change to SIII upon contract renewal. Use i9000 as spare phone and try to flash custom ROM which I wasn't really dare to do previously. After flashing MIUI built based on CM, the phone benchmark improves a lot. Quadrant jump from 900+ to 1400+ currently !!!

  • Hws 'temple run' runing on dis phone ?

  • yeah its a cool phone. some folks use "quick pic" and find that helps. it certianly has benefits of quick pic info and details.

  • I have this phone for 15 months. Overall it is quite a good product. What bothers me is poor baterry life, lack of camera flash and I am really annoyed with lagging (I use Gingerbread). I have a lot of files (around 3.7GB out of 5.5GB on phone and around 9GB out of 14.5GB on 16GB microSD) and loading photos can take a while and is slow responsive. What I want to do is upgrade to Jelly Bean but I never actually rooted the phone. The reason for that is waiting for the stable version of Jelly Bean which I hope can solve the problems I experianced and give better battery life and smoothness they promote with JB. This phone is still very pricy and incredibly popular so the updates are first tested on Glaxy line. I considered changing it but I don't find S3 so revolutionary and I'm waiting for something radical in phone industry instead od just bringing more powerful chipsets and bigger screens.

  • Am buying my samsung galaxy s2.looking 4wrd 2 enjoy its services. Dr phred

  • I like it galaxy all series specialy i9000 & s2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've been a happy user/owner of a Galasy S i9000 since March 2011. Even more so after I flashed CyanogenMod 10 on it, late Sempember 2012. What's most incredible is that Samsung said that this phone could not run 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich nor 4.1 Jelly Bean, and that they would no longer develop nor release new Android OS' for it for this phone is too underpowered, memory and processor wise. Google Nexus S has the exact same specs and it runs Jelly Bean 4.1 *OFFICIALLY* just fine. So, clearly, all Samsung wants is your hard earned cash. Well, if they would get their heads off their butts they would see that they are squarely wrong. CM10 on Galaxy S i9000 is eons better than Samsung's own crappy Gingerbread 2.3.6 ROMs. If you own one of these phones look no further. Head over to XDA developers forums and look up CM10 and flash it. You will thank me later! Cheers! :)

  • SEXY

  • ICS up-gradable even JB up-gradable too :P

  • can this run instagram well?

  • You can do it very easily using CM9, but you'll get similar performance and more features by flashing CM10 and Slimbean. You need to get root, then install CWM recovery. Then back your stuff up, then put the CM10 zips on your SD, then boot to recovery. Wipe then install the zips. Viola, newness

  • no idea about nexus or lg. Avoid Nokia and symbian deffinitely(i am using nokia x6 to post now, but do avoid symbian...windows is up to u). Had sg i9000 for a year now....very good. Runs all games i've tried at play store.....plus u can play them on tv, via tv out lead..... using phone as a makeshift controller. Check you tube for my upload sometime tomorrow or friday "sgs i9000 nova3 mc3 real racing 2". Lots of new phones (esp sony's) aren't running these games well or at all. Anyway, from using nokia, sony and samsung.....well samsung has far better file manager support....it's very easy to move files from phone to sd plus vice versa. Not the case with sony arc, xperia mini pro....and i expect most sony's. Its good for me to try to move family media to other sd cards....organise, make space etc. Probably also why sony are cheaper with poor file managment. Tv out works great on all racing games, (like asphalt 7 etc). U need to check specs,reviews, youtube vids and decide what suits you. Xperia arc s is perfect for my girlfriend, sgsi9000 is awesome for me.

  • A heads up to any gamers that are getting lagg in their games. I found out yesterday how to make games like real racing absoloutely lag free (whereas it always lagged at the beginning of races....and playing at times), and recently modern combat 3 on the multiplayer. If anyone has ram issues ....then just go to applications, running services, and stop every single one, including settings(do that last). Some wont allow you to close them, but 85% do. This beats all task managers as it actually keeps the running processes closed....and frees up enough ram to help. Ive had this phone for a long time now, and even though I am looking out for what tech is about....i actually might get another sgs i9000 when I get a new contract. What an awesome phone......i reguarly play games now on tv, with a high quality extenstion cable (from amazon) to a nokia tv out lead.

  • please anyone tell me the output voltage of galaxy s battery charger ... thanks advance ...

  • just enter your gmail account .

  • Yeah its pretty silly. Install go sms for free, and there is another one....hm...cant remember it right now.

  • upgrade your phone to ics 4.4 via cyanogen mod

  • Apple will also sue NASA for using non-American brand smartphones. NASA is aiming to launch a line of small satellites called �PhoneSats� that are cheaper to make and easier to build than those it has produced in the past. To achieve this, engineers are using unmodified Android smartphones � in one prototype, HTC�s Nexus One, and in another, Samsung�s Nexus S � to perform many of a satellite�s key functions. As NASA explains on its website, these off-the-shelf smartphones �offer a wealth of capabilities needed for satellite systems, including fast processors, versatile operating systems, multiple miniature sensors, high-resolution cameras, GPS receivers and several radios.� �This approach allows engineers to see what capabilities commercial technologies can provide, rather than trying to custom-design technology solutions to meet set requirements,� NASA adds. The total cost for building one of these prototype satellites costs a mere $3,500. Three are expected to launch aboard the first flight of Orbital Sciences Corporation�s Antares rocket from a NASA flight facility at Wallops Island, Va., later this year.

  • is this a 3G phone or 2G phone. Im planning ot get a simple mobile sim card via this phone but most people say this phone wont work with 3G

  • There's DUO-SIM and DUO-SIM support on phones. Duo SIM is one phonenumber on 2 SIM cards, so you can switch phones with 1 number. DUO-SIM support on a phone means 2 SIM-cards in one phone, so u can switch numbers. The 1st (having duo-sim) depends on your operator. I think u mean the 2nd (2 sims in 1 phone) and the answer is NO.
