The swype made it easier to compose messages and moreover it is fun to play with swype. But what happens in my daily life is most of the time I use Google Chrome to surf the web and not getting enough time to read and reply to my text messages in time.

Recently I came across a cool application that makes it possible to Send and receive SMS text messages from your computer using your current phone number through your Android ™ phone. Isn’t it cool ? Yes, the app is Texter (previously Texty)

Once you install the Texter Android(tm) App & Chrome Extension, you will be able to:

1) Send SMS text messages from your computer

2) Receive SMS text messages immediately as they come in on your Android(tm)  device

3) Sync all SMS text messages from your Android device to your computer

You can still send/receive texts on your phone as you normally would.

Texter is in a private beta as of June 2011.

To complete installation, you will need need a beta invite code http://textyapp.com/beta

Myth or fact? http://www.galaxys.net/samsung-galaxy-s/honeycomb-for-galaxy-s-smartphone-myth-or-fact/ http://www.galaxys.net/samsung-galaxy-s/honeycomb-for-galaxy-s-smartphone-myth-or-fact/#comments Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:12:41 +0000 Android Fan http://www.galaxys.net/?p=53 Android 3.0 code-named Honeycomb is not optimized for smartphones.  A Google spokesperson (Andrew Kovacs) told PC Mag that, its features will arrive on phones over time.

He added,

The version of Honeycomb we’ve shown is optimized for tablet form factors.

All of the UI changes are the future of Android. Yesterday’s event focused on tablet form factors, which is where you’ll first see Honeycomb.

It is so clear that honeycomb is not coming for Samsung Galaxy S. But some of its features and UI tweaks may come with icecream or future versions of Android.
Then why all are looking for Honeycomb for smartphones like galaxy s? It all started when Dan Morrill stated in twitter that there’s no hard minimum processor requirement for Honeycomb. Trust me, if there were I’d know.

Most bloggers interpreted it wrong and stated Honeycomb is coming to smartphones and the rumor spread like wildfire.!
What you can do now is wait for the official release for gingerbread or get satisfied with an Android3.0 theme.

The frustration from users continues who are forced to stick with froyo now. Geeks have no patience, they ported Nexus S gingerbread to I9000!.

By the end of April (final release), a very interesting theme for Samsung Galaxy S was released in XDA-forum. It changes the overall UI of Galaxy S, making it similar to honeycomb OS. More information is available at XDA.

Isn’t it so frustrating to see your smartphone struggling to execute the softwares that  are simplest of its kind ? I used to take lectures for hours, without any break, why Galaxy S is the best and reasons why other phones sucks. It all ends when someone curiously dives in, trying to open gallery, phone book and 2 more apps and says “dude.. your phone is not responding”. And obviously it is so embarrassing when it comes to my mind that this crap has almost left my bank account empty and brings disgrace most of the time. WTF!

Yes, we must accept that Samsung Galaxy S (SGS) is really slow after froyo update. At the same time galaxy ace and tab seems to be working super fast. Oh god how to fix this..?

Apps, your enemies. Kill them all

Multi-tasking was one cool feature that always made us superior to iOS. But what happens when the apps you don’t even want starts to run in background and consumes your memory ?

Advanced task killer comes to your rescue now. Install it, and Kill the tasks you don’t want. Also add its widget for quick access.

Be a minimalist, say good bye to extravagant animations.

Disable live wallpapers, animation effects, unwanted widgets, buddies now etc and make SGS severely simple. You can disable animation effects from Settings > Sound and Display > Animation > No Animation. Do it. You will never regret!
These methods made considerable boost in performance to my Galaxy S I9000.

If you are still using froyo (android 2.2), update it to Gingerbread (V2.3.3) you could feel a drastic change in performance. After Gingerbread update, without even lag fix, Galaxy S performs super-fast and it is rare to come across force close and hang ups .
