^^ Rooting does not void warranty on SGS, cause you can easily go back to stock firmware :D

I am having a problem with my galaxy s. A lot of my calls are getting disconnected when using the phone directly. When I use the earphones I dont hit this issue. I think it might be a problem with the proximity sensor as the network signal shows 4 bars when the call gets disconnected. Anybody else facing this issue?

I tested the proximity sensor with a sensor test app and it seems to be working fine. It seems the issue was (in Steve Job's words) not holding the phone right. :oops: My ear was over the upper half of the screen and not covering the proxomity sensor as it should be. All is fine and dandy now. :smile:

As per official Samsung UK tweet feed, Samsung is going to release Froyo for Galaxy S end of September.

Just google with "Galaxy S+Froyo" and check the results

Recently my Galaxy S had started lagging a bit. Especially when k-9 mail app was running the lag would be so bad that the phone would become unusable. I applied the 1-click lag fix and the phone has become really zippy.
A lot of Galaxy S users on xda are saying that they never observed any lags. But from my experience I can say the stock f/w is definitely laggy and when you have lot of apps trying to sync data the lag can be so bad that you cant even use the phone.

All you Samsung Galaxy users,

Want a honest feedback from you guys. How do you guys rate this phone in Internet surfing and mailing when compared to the NOKIA N900. I believe most of the sites opened on SGS are directed to a mobile site, WAP site. Whereas on the N900 it opens the website the way it would open on a PC. But the viewing and Internet surfing on the SGS should be great fun coz of its 4 inch Amoled screen. But SGS does not open any flash sites and all the sites. like for e.g try opening a online music station site it would not open on SGS.

1. I have never used a N900
2. SGS can open ALL sites (not just wap). Android browser is one of the most capable browser on any mobile platform.
3. Flash lite sites open just fine. Full flash sites will work once SGS gets Android 2.2 (around September 20th).
