Anyone had any luck in returning these yet? What scores did the replacement one get?
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Hmmm started to get storage type errors.
[Desire Accessories] talonlan:
have already returned mine for a replacment, quoting a lot that has been said in this post and on Hotukdeals, awaiting a replacement.

Will let you know the outcome but if i dont get a branded one i will be returning again and buying a joyflash.

thanks to all that replied you convinced me to return it befor getting into trouble.
[Desire Accessories] reaper7881:
crap i already bought 1 aaaaaaaa
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
Mine arrived today, here's my speedtest using SD Tools - it's meant to be PNY but came unbranded
[Desire Accessories] talonlan:
After getting a replacement and it also being a unbranded one i returned it for a full refund, and bought a Joyflash one instead.

Currently testing this card out as seems to be giving me rather low performance too and also was unbranded.
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
Are those speeds above slow though? Seems OK to me
[Desire Accessories] talonlan:
Your speeds seem fantastic in all honesty, just keep an eye on the card for peculiar behavior like dropping info and apps not working properly, if using APSD+.
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
Will do, no problems so far!! :D
[Desire Accessories] Tirinoarim:
One other thing to take into consideration is whether you have partitioned the card (e.g. for A2SD etc) as that will cause a reformat. Did you realign partitions after the format. Does the rom you are speedtesting on include any SD performance tweaks? Also, are you comparing a 4GB SD to a 16GB SDHC?

My point is, I dont think this issue is as cut-and-dry as it first looks.

I did a speedtest on my 16GB Class 4 (Kingston) SDHC (partitioned and aligned) and my Play.Com (PNY) is due to arrive today. I'll do a speedtest (with the same ROM, once its partitioned and aligned the same as the Kingston) for a more comparative test, then post the results if anyone is interested.
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
I've NO idea, I'm using RCMix 1.4 new Sense ROM, I created the partition using GParted (EXT4) and then just ran the speedtest app...
[Desire Accessories] Lothaen:
hmm

I get

Write speed is 10.0MB/s

Reading speed is 6.0MB/s

which is faster than my old class 2 card - but seems way slower than you guys are getting...

downloaded SD Tools from market - and now getting

Write speed of 12.8 MB/s

Reading speed of 9.2 MB/s

why is my read speed so slow?

rebooted phone and run again

Write speed of 15.1 MB/s

Reading speed of 11.6 MB/s

could be just that my phone is doing stuff with the SD card at the same time?
[Desire Accessories] Tirinoarim:
My current Kingston 16GB Class 4 gives 6.6 Write and 17.3 read (thats EXT aligned on InsertCoin HD 2.0.0)

Just used "SD Speed Increase" from the market (here) to update the cache to 2048. Read speed now up to 18.3 (same card & ROM)

PNY Card *FINALLY* arrived - 14.2 Write, 24.5 read (aligned, same rom, cache set 2048)
[Desire Accessories] beetnubbin:
Joyflash 16GB class 10

Looking to buy an SD card? THEN PAY ATTENTION!

There's another thread on the 16GB Class 10 joyflash card available from ebay. I bought this one. Here's the lowdown.

I got a consistent

15.9 MB/S read

and

23.4 MB/s write

With partition alignment and sd speed increase buffer tweak.

AND ONLY £18!
[Desire Accessories] ScuzUK:
I bought this card from the same guy and I ended up with this:

eloyou.com/myfiles/joyflash.png

It's not being recognized by the phone or windows.

Have I received a duff card or have I not done some thing?

As a Fascinate user, was planning on getting the Bionic as I was at first disapointed with Samsung's lack of support, issues, etc. But the screen, codecs, weight, and such all won me over, and I can't wait to get the SGSII. Hopefully its coming to Verizon with an Exynos processor and Mali GPU.....

How bout everyone else?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBlueGreen:
I think most of the people who have posted on SII subforum will be getting it.

Though if its delayed some might switch to a phone thats already out or wait and see what the iPhone5 brings to the table (which i will be doing if it doesnt come out this month or early May.

I am still not sure{using N1 for close to 14months now},will decide depending on how well HTC Sensation turns out{announcement might come on 12th April}:D

LG Optimus 2X{already available here & is surprisingly cheaper than SE Xperia Arc & Xperia Play} vs SGS 2 vs HTC Sensation will be my choices.But right now my first preference will be HTC Sensation{aka HTC Pyramid}:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSonicEmerald:
I can upgrade any time I want to, so I can't wait to buy it when it comes out! I was a bit disappointed with the Tegra2, so right now is a good time to see the other dual cores coming out.

Oh, and the fact that Galaxy phones are made in Korea makes me swell with pride, so that's another factor in buying the SGSII.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
I was an early adopter for the original SGS and got slightly burnt by the annoying lag with Samsung's official ROM. Luckily there are some great people on XDA and a lot of effort has gone into creating a much better custom ROM.

Although everything about the SGS2 sounds great, I think I'll hang back by a month or two until I've ready the initial reviews and customer experiences (hopefully benefit from a reduced price from the original launch price).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1000716:
I'm definitely getting one, to replace a rather old Sanyo SCP-8400. I've had the SGS2 on pre-order since March 18...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banner:
I've also preordered mine on Amazon.de. I trust the xda devs will come through, as they most often do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moparman:
Cant wait to buy SGS2..

I cant stand Slamsung in my home but theres no way i can turn down this phone and buy something else...Samsung is nr 1 2011...No doubt.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banner:
Yeah, I feel like HTC dropped the ball this year and Samsung picked it up
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StupidHero:
Will get one, though not at release (contract, still 3 month to go)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_master:
No it's what you are assuming & saying.

Wait for 12th when the mighty HTC Sensation comes out{GSM version of HTC EVO 3D} and we all know what kind of support HTC enjoys at xda.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banner:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but HTC Sensation specs aren't better than SGS2, even though it's been announced after SGS2... Where is the NFC, for example ? What's really unique in Sensation? SGS2 has some cool gyroscope functions, for example.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] open1your1eyes0:
T-Mobile or Verizon, as long as either of them gets it and does not change the specs one bit (but adds their 3G/4G bands obviously), I will be getting it. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Spree:
I'll wait for the first retail reviews! If they confirm the incredibility of the awesome announced SGS2 I'll buy it for sure!

Till then I am sceptical.

I think it will be really good phone but like often in the past many things were hyped dramatically befor release....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaggles:
I ordered mine yesterday and talked one of my friends into ordering his today. Gimme a cut Sammy!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banner:
I preordered mine, because to me, even if it does half what they said, it's a phone that will last. If it's really as awesome as they say, it's even better. I was too afraid to wait before ordering, because what I gathered so far is that the first ones will be Exynos and Samoled+.

But if the orders are overwhelming, they may very well be forced to start production of slcd +tegra versions to keep up. That means that by the time you decide it's OK to get one, you may be in for a surprise. And I don't like surprises like that :-D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiourgos:
I'm getting one as soon as it shows up in PLAY carrier or SIM-free if I'll find it for ~500€.

I’m waiting on a Vodafone upgrade. I can upgrade from 12th of April. I do prefer to get phones for free on a 24 month contract with 750 minutes unlimited text and internet. For 30 quid a month. (+vat business user)

Because I do use up all the minutes and if I paid £440 for the phone I will still have to pay £30+ a month for what I use.

Looking at mobile.co.uk I may get it on an 18 month if I pay £29.99 for the phone.

...huh?

That's like saying there are chocolate bars to solve my car's fuel inefficiency problem. You just referred to two separate, unrelated things. No app in the world invents a multicolor LED on your physical phone where none exists. Lighting up physical keys or farting out different melodies through the vibrate/haptic feedback ability on the phone are not the same as having a multicolor LED on the phone, lol.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiourgos:
a little humility, I didn't mentioned about magically converting your white lightened keys into coloured ones.

Look at my updated post or learn how to make use of google.com. What's more it was really loud about NoLED at XDA

Turning on your whole screen to show some small LED colors is a pretty bad workaround in terms of power consumption, IMO.

No Arc, will go for the sgs2 as soon as it's released.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoshizukiki:
I was planning to get it, but after reading about burn-in screen problems with Super AMOLED after a few months of use, no thanks. For a unit that expensive, I want to use it for a few years without seeing screen degradation.

I'd get it in a heartbeat if it had SCLD instead of Super AMOLED Plus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
I have been concerned about that as well but from what I have read, its happens to those who leave the same image on their screen for hours on end.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoshizukiki:
Oops I meant SLCD.

Yeah it's a problem for those that use GPS quite often and the top area where the clock is.

That's sad, this phone was almost perfect.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799750&page=1

Super AMOLED/Plus is all fine and dandy with picture quality and contrast, but in the end I'd be paying premium price for a screen that's degrading rapidly faster than SLCD the moment it's turned on. Within less than a year, which is it's laughable. Don't care if black is dark gray, at least its lifespan is considerably better.

Gonna wait for the SGSII SLCD version like it was previously rumored or announced.

Hopefully nothing is changed on that version except for the screen. The Galaxy S SLCD version took 6 months later for it to be released... :(

So i got my class 10 SD card in the mail yesterday, excellent card i must say so far. I set it up so that i could use D2EXT with Cool Z ROM, which impressed me as it was a Z port that i could use without the lag that comes with A2SD+ (or at least that was my experience). But now and again, the phone freezes and then the screen dims, then turns off like it's about to soft-reboot but nothing more...it just appears to switch off :| I even plugged it into my laptop, loaded up ADB and executed 'adb reboot' which does nothing, i then used 'adb devices' and it shows up-but seems to be fast asleep :( any ideas?

EDIT: the only solution at the moment seems to be that i have to pull the battery and restart the phone, which i don't like doing if i'm honest :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vietl3oi4eva:
so i rooted my friends droid incredible using unrevoked, backed up his stock rom using Rom Manager and flashed myns warm twopointtwo rom. it fully booted up and was running fine until i saw that he had no contacts backed up to his google account. i then backed up Myns warm 2.2 rom and restored his stock rom then backed up his contacts to his sd card. then i used Rom Manager again to restore Myns Warm 2.2 rom and it wont boot, its just stuck on the splash screen.

i tried to boot into clockworkmod recover to wipe everything but when i try to select anything in the recovery list it just shows the backround image of clockworkmod and doesn't do anything. if i push the power button it just brings me back to the menu.

Any suggestions???

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] THUDUK:
I have a concern that Microsoft will revoke our activation codes and we will loose all our purchased apps and games.

Could this happen, do you think it could happen, or please tell me I am being paranoid and go spend some money on the marketplace?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DingoJunior:
You're being paranoid. Go spend some money in the marketplace. :)

Seriously, I think there are two reasons why this won't be a problem:

First, I doubt Microsoft is tracking the sort of information that would ever lead to this (I'd expect they would have to be linking our IMEI numbers to our windows live id), or if they are, I doubt they would ever bother to check that those IMEI numbers were for valid WP7 devices.

Second, your purchases are tied to your windows live id, not a particular phone. Even if they decided to somehow shut down phones that weren't using legitimate versions of WP7, I doubt they would (or legally could) take away your purchased apps (without refunding your money, at least).

Go forth and purchase! :)

Dingo
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Damien13N:
The activation code is needed to use Windows live services, Xbox live and Marketplace. You can still use WP7 on HD2 if you don't have an activation code (the OS still works).

Even if activations were canceled or revoked, apps and games installed on the phone would still be usable unless they specifically require access to your activated Windows Live account.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
aye, what they said ^^

also, could they, potentially yes but would they? its very unlikely they would, whilst you are (hopefully) spending money on the market you are sending them money, as long as users of WP7 dont take the piss as has happened in the android development and steal as much as the can MS doesnt have an incentive to block us all. Unfortunately as WP7 gains popularity we may get flooded with freeloaders illegally downloading as much as they can get their hands on, this would kill us as MS would then have a very big incentive to lock down WP7 even more and potentially part of that could be blocking us as well.

in short, buy stuff on the market and they will be happy resulting in us beingt happy!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tchun:
It was interesting to test WP7 as we did with Android. But the activation code is so embarassing that it dissuade us. So we just hope that we will have an automatic simple unlock code soon. For the moment, bye bye WP7 and welcome Android.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
How is it embarrassing, just curious? It was simple & effective to get the activation code. WP7, is quite simply way better than Android, imho. To each his own, but I think if you used it, while activated, you'd be convinced to keep it. It's easy to use, effective, & so clean looking. Lmao, I sound like a commercial now, I better stop.

:

1. i have a mobile site made up already to fit most android devices.

2. I want to wrap it i guess and create an APK..

what would be the best approach?

This isn't goign to be commercial, just an apk that i will share with some friends.

- I thought i could simply wrap it, but i am a bit lost.

maybe i am lookign for the wrong thing.. on google

I've never seen a web view that uses a search bar..

you should be able to do something like

WebView wb = new WebView(this);
wb.loadUrl("http://www.yourpage.com");
setContentView(wb);

and don't forget to set the right permissions.

It might help if you told what the webpage is that you're trying to show.
