[Galaxy S II General] -A-P-M-:
Because not everyone want to have "laptop" in a pocket. For a primary phone which is used daily I find 4.3 screen too big. Still SGS2 or HTC Pyramid will most probably be my next phone, but before I buy it, I want to check how it goes into a pocket. My current HTC Desire have good dimensions, but is already almost one year old so I have to buy something new. If SGS2 is too big, then SGS2 Mini will be good choice. Looks like it has even faster processor (1.4 ghz).
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
Well looks like it's a cheaper version with a non dual core processor and a camera with lower resolution
[Galaxy S II General] -A-P-M-:
A lot of people complain that 4.3" screen is too big, so its smart move to offer similar hardware (dualcore etc) with smaller display and smaller dimensions.

I would already pre-order Desire S if it would be dualcore.
[Galaxy S II General] xilw3r:
galaxy S II mini has no dual core. well no one actually said what it has for real, but people are guessing its a snapdragon, overclocked msm8655 i believe. i rather wait for official samsung announcement (hoping its a hummingbird, not snapdragon, dont really care about dual core/camera)

if this costs simillar (or close enough) as xperia neo, i will get sgs II mini :)
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
LOL 3.7" a mini? ... :p :D

the engineers needs some eye check

at the very maximum 3" might be passable as mini

mini should not go beyond 2.8" in size
[Galaxy S II General] silverwolf0:
3.7 is the new mini! 4.0 is average, 4.3 is big, 4.5 is yummy big, and 5.0 is sleddable. Like how they secretly enlarge shirt and pants sizes as the world gets fatter.
[Galaxy S II General] Ayrlupine:
I think everyone needs to take the "Mini" part relatively.

Compared to 4.3" a 3.7" screen is certainly the smaller brother!

I think 4.3" will get the job done for me though. (I imagine that's something "she" definitely didn't say.)
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
For the millionth time, the SGS2 has virtually the same dimensions as the SGS. In some dimensions it's smaller...

Sent from my Captivate
[Galaxy S II General] FLAC Vest:
Because not everyone wants to have a 4.3 inch screen. Right now I have both the Nexus 1 and tthe Captivate and I love the Nexus 1 so much more.

And I love a larger screen, just for the record.

All in all, the size along with a lower price point are reasons to why there is a Mini

If anyone has purchased:

Will you please post some pics? I'm curious how it looks on the front and sides and wondering if its bulky.
[Vibrant Accessories] clarencesmith:
I havent purchased it but I might. It look super sexy.
[Vibrant Accessories] gforceriders:
I have this case and looks nice and works well. Its a little bit on the bigger side but feels nice. I've had for five months but didn't use it because I have ghost armor and it wouldn't fit in till I took off the armor.
[Vibrant Accessories] jdm4u:
probably no point in asking this, but might as well. Is it real carbon fiber?
[Vibrant Accessories] N_B:
so that's not a replacement battery cover, that goes OVER teh existing battery cover, right?
[Vibrant Accessories] clarencesmith:
Yeah its just a case.
[Vibrant Accessories] gforceriders:
Its not real carbon fiber.
[Vibrant Accessories] neobuddy89:
looks bulky to me.....
[Vibrant Accessories] Jo3f1sh:
Not really feeling it.

I'd prefer if the weave was diagonal like the CF skin I'm using. It'd look more like actual carbon fiber.
[Vibrant Accessories] Monk4Life:
I bought the other official vibrant case from samsung and so far its been the worse case yet. It falls apart easy and the volume and power buttons are hard to get to unless you have very tiny fingers. So far my favorite case has been the body glove one. But it is bulky.
[Vibrant Accessories] spiz516:
Cool thanks for the info and good to know! I also have the Body Glove one, and while it is bulky, it definitely serves its purpose of being tough and protecting the phone.

I love cyanogen mod but certain features only work when they want too like mms. Everything else works pretty good, so I was hoping theres a DEV out there that can make it happen for us boost mobile users out there. I was wanting something like they made for cricket. I'm sort of a noob so let me know if I can edit anything through ESPT or how to edit it too change my mms proxy

im on the same boat... did u ever fix mms on cyanogen
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egomez7737:
So Finally I found a mms fix for evo on boost mobile network

just download a rom called miui and then install go sms pro and open up mms settings under go sms and type http://mm.myboostmobile.com under mmsc and 80 under proxy. restart phone. enjoy

ps mms will not work with cyanogen but miui rom is way better

Hey everyone. I'd like to decompile/recompile the Launcher2.apk from Paul (MoDaCo)'s rip of the Gingerbread system. I'm trying to fix the annoying fade time on the 2D app drawer for the launcher. However, I'm running into problems.

Here's my process:

apktool d -f com.modaco.android.launchergb-1.apk

Move through the com.modaco.android.launchergb-1 folder to res/values/integers.xml

Change fade in and fade out time to "300" instead of "700".

apktool b -f com.modaco.android.launchergb-1

Copy build/apk/resources.arsc to the original com.modaco.android.launchergb-1.apk using WinRAR.

Attempts to install all fail. When I try "adb install" I get this error: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
[Android Software Development] tnpapadakos:
You try ApkManager by daneshm90?

Sent from my phone
[Android Software Development] kennethpenn:
Doesn't seem to work either.
[Android Software Development] trimeijer:
You need to sign the package first.

jarsigner -verbose modradio.apk mykey

Check the METAINF/ folder in the apk of the newly built one and delete the extra files from the original one. Then you need to resign the edited apk. I think there should just be MANIFEST.MF, delete the CERT.* files. And when you resign it it should make new ones, in this case above it would be MYKEY.RSA and MYKEY.SF. Not too familir with it, but try that out.

Keep in mind that you have to resign it after any modifications, so do it last and it should work.

This thread does a good job guiding you though compiling/decompiling an apk.

Thank you so much for the help. In the thread you mentioned, I'm stuck at this point:

If my filename is com.modaco.android.launchergb-1 and the application name is com.modaco.android.launchergb, what do I do to make these commands work.

Would it be:

find ./ -type f | xargs perl -pi -e 's/modaco\/launchergb/modaco\/launchermod/g'

Does anyone know if TV-Out works with this phone? If so, what cable works?

Thanks for any help.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajs2677:
There is no TV-Out port on the Shift. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
On some phones, even though it's not advertised, the headphone jack has a video out section to it... A tv out cable for an ipod or zune (non touch screen versions for both) would work in that case, with rca outputs.

I have no idea if it's on this phone or not... Some phones have had it without advertising it
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruggerxpunk:
Yeah for instance on my HTC Incredible it has TV out but is not advertised, so just wondering if anyone knows for sure, before I buy a cable.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajs2677:
Wow thanks for the info, I had no idea. Sorry if I sounded condescending.

But one from walmart, and if it doesn't work, take it back.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
Purchased the DINC cables from amazon. They are advertised as microUSB.

However they are not. Will not fit Shift4G microUSB port.

Would love to know if this works!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
They might have one through the micro usb, but I think it would most likely be the headphone jack type with the extra section for video, like for an old school ipod
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ega972:
So, Is anyone already tried it..? recently I install CM10 on the device, basically I compared the system with some local phone brand (IMO Discovery S88), it's already ICS Built in and capable to do TV Out through its headphone jack. Can our phone do it too..? hope anyone already test it or just give me some clue on how to do it.

I still have a cable from my old TP, I will give it a go tonight and see what i can come up with as well.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ronan_zj:
I am just wondering what Bluetooth headphone you guys use on inspire 4G?

I am choosing between Plantronics Voyager PRO and Motorola Oasis, but dont know what I really want.
[HTC Inspire 4G] muthabusser:
Plantronics....they just work!

I am using a Plantronics 245 which is a very inexpensive headset. I think I payed about $34 with taxes. I do not have any issues with it. Headsets are like cars - you can go from very cheap to very expensive and everywhere in between. - Glenn :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] DumIam:
Blue Ant T1. Not a big fan of vlingo, the free software for the headphone. It does the job withoutbraking the bank.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackviper71:
I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro. Works great. No issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dave032766:
I use the blueant Q2 with the motospeak app from the market ... Its by far the loudest bluetooth i have ever owned.... You can use motospeak with any bluetooth, but there is a trick. First go buy or borrow a motorola finiti (volume on it sucks btw) bluetooth, pair it with phone, download motospeak app from the market. Now for the important part DO NOT UNPAIR the finiti from your phone, as long as it is paired with the phone the motospeak app will work with any bluetooth. Now you can go trade in the motorola finiti for any bluetooth you like.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shamelin73:
Not between the two you said but I would say get the Jawbone ICON

They have been the best I have used.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ratman33:
They are selling the Jawbone 2 for 10 bucks at dailysteals. Can't post link.

Don't work for them or anything, I heard good things about the headset and ordered one. Though you guys might like it. Add about $5 to ship though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
Jawbone Icon. Love it. I have owned two. Best earpiece out there.

[HTC Inspire 4G] telltell624:
I use the voyager pro, I like it. I would recommend the icon though. It's less expensive and the quality is comparable. I paid 100, but have seen the icon for about half that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronan_zj:
How does noise/wind cancellation on recent bluetooth device? I remeber when I had really old moto bt headphone, HS850, my friend hardly heard me when I was running outside. After that, I did use any bt headphone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronan_zj:
Does i it fit good? I read review on amazon saying it fells off easily
[HTC Inspire 4G] RBDH:
The Icon comes with 5 or 6 different pieces to fit your ear. If it falls off easily then your just using the wrong piece. It also allows you to wear it with or without the over the ear hook.

I use an Icon for phone calls and a Plaintronics Backbeat for music and the occasional call. Both headsets are good in high wind situations. The Icon even works pretty good during a storm, though I don't recommend it (I've killed so many headsets that way).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fixter:
I have the Plantronics Voyager Pro + and I got it brand new on eBay for 56 dollars. People need to use eBay more. -.- paying retail for everything... blasphemy
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronan_zj:
I got an Icon from Amazon eventually, its not that expensive, only $50. its small, lightweight, pretty good, except it doesnt have caller ID function offered by new Jawbone ERA.
[HTC Inspire 4G] displacedtexan:
I've got a jawbone ICON, love it. Worth way more than the $50 I paid on Amazon. I can have a conversation going down the highway with the windows in my truck with a straight piped diesel engine half down and still hear.

It does caller ID, just doesn't read the name, just the number.

Inspire 4G + Plantronics 903+

I've been using Inspire 4G paired with Plantronics 903+ headphone, mostly to listen stereo music. I'm having a lot of connection problems: sometimes the sound stops for less than a second and then continues (several times per minute), and in the worst case the connection just drops completly and I'm forced to pair the devices again.

I read some posts in the web warning about the same issues, but I couldn't find any solution for this. I even don't really know if the problem is the headphone or the phone itself.

Does anybody know a workarround to solve this? Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] alacap26:
I use the Motorola H720 for my Inspire and for Skype. I prefer the ear loop to the in ear style for comfort during long use. It's relatively cheap and I can get almost 8 full hours of talk time. And it has proven to be very durable.

I don't think the bootloader was cracked. The keys were leaked. Either way, very exciting.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
i mearly copied the title of the article :P anyways, with the key leaks it may be possible to sign custom roms to bypass the locked bootloader, which is great because it means that it may be possible to install cyanogen on our phones :D

Can't wait to see what comes out of this. I have good hopes for my d2g in the future
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
yup, its to make custom sbf's. which isnt too bad, maybe using these keys, someone could find a way to completely get rid of the bootloader, once that happens, then our phones will truly be free
[Droid 2 Global General] Irish Loop:
Koush (the author of the ClockworkRecoveryMod) doesn't think the keys are real. You can read his Twitter feed @clockworkmod, but I can't link it yet.
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
he doesnt really have any proof though, if anything it sounds like hes in disbelief that this has happened, work is still underway and devs are testing out the method to bypassing the bootloader to see if this is legit, im following very closely on droidforums, thats where all of the information regarding this seems to be going.
[Droid 2 Global General] Asphyx:
This would be great news if it is true.

But I am as cautious as Koush regarding the fact there are KEYS and not a KEY (Singular)

What we really need is the Master Key as thats the only one who can generate more keys and multiple keys sounds like generated keys not a master.

Unless there are multiple masters, one for each device which I will entertain as a possibility to keep my hopes up! LOL
[Droid 2 Global General] Asphyx:
Turns out Koush was right all along.

Sometime I wish he wasn't so smart! LOL
[Droid 2 Global General] Frank616:
So, does this mean that we can now get a signed cyanogen ROM to install on the Motorola Milestone without all the trickery that has been needed in the past? Is such a signed ROM already available?

I just got the official Motorola 2.2.1 update for my Canadian Milestone. Its OK, but I'm getting ready to 'jump ship', root the phone, and install a third party ROM. If properly signed ROM's are just around the corner, I'll wait. I just need to know where things are at present.

Thanks.

It's not unusual for apps to start up and run in the background. If you have GPS/Use Wireless Networks enabled that may have launched Maps. Android automatically shutdowns apps when memory gets too low.

At&t did not buy T-Mobile today. At&t announced its INTENTION to buy T-Mobile. This sort of thing is subject to regulatory approval and could take YEARS to approve, if ever. My guess is that its a move to inflate at&T's stock price because I don't think this aquisition would ever withstand anti-trust examination. Not to mention that everyone from Verizon to Sprint to Cricket will file injunctions to block this deal on exactly those grounds tomorrow. Relax.

[EVO 4G General] brookshit:
Usually the company buying the other company's stock goes down.

ATT has made wise decisions to establish their position. Their betting on the Iphone was a solid winner and now that the cash cow is being milked by others ATT looks to continue growing through this acquisition.

This deal will go through and then Verizon will buy Sprint. Sucks, but it makes sense for these mega companies. It will suck for the consumer.
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
Your theory does hold merit except you're overlooking one MASSIVE detail. The negotiation terms.

'In the event of the deal failing to receive regulatory approval, AT&T will be on the hook for $3 billion to T-Mobile -- a breakup fee, they call it -- along with transferring over some AWS spectrum it doesn't need for its LTE rollout, and granting T-Mo a roaming agreement at a value agreeable to both parties.'

I don't think AT&T wants to fork over $3 billion and part of it's spectrum for a ploy.
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
I think on closer examination, you're a bit off-base.

One of the overlooked elements in this story is that AT&T has agreed to pay TMo/DT US$3 billion along with giving TMo very favorable roaming agreements, if this deal doesn't go thru. Trust me, AT&T fully expects this deal to survive scrutiny. Yeah, they'll have to make some sort of concessions, maybe even sell or give up some spectrum, and maybe agree to keep prices at a certain level for a period of time, for example, but they fully expect to be the owner of a certified preowned cellular 'net with about 34 million subs, in about 12 months.
[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
I agree completly with bed red picking up sprint, especially if sprint goes lte, if sprint stays wimax then there is a chance for them to maintain their independance, but they need to start making money

The at&t mobil deal will go through, since verizion probably covers the same markets

Remember when big red bought altel, they had to sell the towers in areas, verizion already had towers, and there were no other towers, there was such a small number of markets affected I think like 10 or so
[EVO 4G General] austontatious:
Do some homework - bell was broken up in 1984 because they were too big. Do you think the SEC is going to just give a do-over? And that $3B is about AT&TS operating budget for a fiscal quarter. If their stock price goes up 1/10th of a percent they will make that back. The purchasing company only loses stock value if they don't meet financial forecasts AFTER the buy. The information that AT&T will double its spectrum is almost guaranteed to raise their stock. Watch the ticker tomorrow. If ATT doesn't skyrocket when the bell rings ill be shocked. And it isn't a permanent thing. This would basically allow AT&T to borrow the money to improve their network from the market - INTEREST FREE. And Verizon will never buy Sprint. The biggest mobile company in America can't buy one of the other biggest companies in America. Never happen.
[EVO 4G General] austontatious:
Regardless, only time will tell. My point is that this isn't a done deal. It will have to survive legal challenges from any number of government and private entities. I don't think it will happen, YMMV. And there is no way it will go through in 12 months. You can't buy a baskin Robbins in 12 months. So just relax.
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
That was 1984. Completely different regulatory environment today.

When's the last time the SEC or DOJ blocked a big telecom merger? Didn't happen when SBC bought then-Ameritech; not when Bell Atlantic/Verizon bought Alltel. Didn't happen when SBC and the old AT&T merged. Didn't happen when Comcast snatched up NBC/U recently, and Comcast is hated coast-to-coast.

And you can bet real $$$ that the regulators aren't going to block this one, today. They'll eke out concessions, and then the only question remaining will be "what color will the new logo for the successor company, be?"
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Finally an intelligent comment. I'll scream corruption if this deal falls through.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
VZW was forced to give AT&T some of Alltel subscribers. I believe that was the FTC's doing.
