My office colleague bought this mobile last week and has a problem saving the contacts. Is there a limited number of digits for a contact name? - as he wants to save the full name - eg. Abdulla Nasser Mohammed Al Busaidi - which he was able to do with his previous Nokia mobile.

may be it uses the rest of the ram for internal process so that the phone should not hang if third party applications causes a memory issue

I think as of now NO one noticed that the samsing I9000 is having issue with RAM. it will show you max of 329 MB with 2.3.3 updated. My phone is 1 month old and samsung did lot of work but there is no solution for the problem. Please dont buy this peace of Junk. believe me its not worth for the money what we pay

Hello, i was very excited when i bought my Galaxy S (6 months ago), until the phone broke because it was from a faulty batch of phones (production fault), and samsung did not want to repair it with my warranty because i had the phone rooted, eventhough it did not have anything to do with it.

I got this phone 2 months ago and it doesn't work anymore. I send it back to the manufacture and they say its water damage, they lie the white box is still white. It shows a screen of a tryangle that said "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" and it doesnt charge

Can somebody tell me if the Galaxy S has a special contact's function?:
A DETAILED SEARCH OPTION like for example I want to search a contact from any name or address or phone number,and not only writing the name or surname.
I know that the Iphone has this option..

thanks

I`ve got my galaxy S since one month now. the only drawback i`m facing is the battery autonomy. i was mislead by the specs saying that the autonomy would be over 1000 hrs standby time and around 7 hrs talktime. however, its autonomy is only two days. Anybody may clarify this for me.

I don't know what all the hype is about this phone. I used it for 2 days and thought it was a total piece of garbage. It's a 1G hz processor but it's still really slow and pauses a lot when switching between apps (however I'll admit I was using android 2.1, so maybe that was the problem, but still, 1ghz processor, c'mon). It's light and flimsy, and feels like a toy, and more like a blown-up iphone-wannabe. Yes super amoled is great, especially on a 4.0 inch screen, but that's about the only selling point this phone has. But the screen does have a drawback, and that it looks like little too supersaturated. Looking at the same pic on a computer screen or a print out is not going to be the same. The camera is okay, but no flash, what were they thinking?? Old iphones and the first few android phones didn't have flash, but that was years ago. The default launcher and widgets are absolute crap, especially when compared to HTC sense. The apps window looks, again, like a iphone wannabe, except even more childish. And lastly the battery was decent, especially when compared to the Desire HD.

I don't understand what you people use to rate a phone. I've used the Nexus One and thought it was an awesome phone. I've used the Desire HD and it was a huge disappointment (don't know what all the good reviews about THIS phone are either), although still much better than galaxy s. Now I'm using Desire Z and think it's pretty good, besides the camera on this phone everything else is great.

Hi everyone, upgraded myself to this sleek Samsung Galaxy S i9000, after lots of research, it was a tough decision as all the similar latest models had almost similar features, the fast speed 1GB hummingbird processor, good battery life, excellent GPS features & really amazingly clear screen made me decide to select this model over others. Since almost over five weeks of usage no call drops, no phone hangs or freezes, no sync problems, has given me true satisfaction of my wise decision to pick this phone. Wi-Fi & blue tooth usage has much less battery drain compared to its competitors (no names please). Video calling is charm on this phone 'cos of 1GB processor. Radio usage reception is excellent almost always. With 32GB memory, watched "AVATAR" in HD on my i9000 and at end of it I used 50% battery - not bad eh! Amazing masterpiece created by Samsung Galaxy S team. Overall performance is excellent for my usage. My advice buy the model which suits your usage habits, this model for sure is way ahead of others per my personal research, usage & satisfaction.

Look for an app in the market called uninstaller, seems to work for me so far as apps I've installed go.
Hope this helps
