[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MustNotSleep:
What about the price?

I'm still having trouble deciding.

I've read numerous comparisons between the two, and even wrote up a comparison of my own (blog.imiric.name/2011/04/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-vs-motorola-atrix-4g/), yet I still can't decide.

Right now, it all boils down to this:

SGSII is clearly the better device hardware-wise, and arguably software-wise (TouchWiz > Motoblur, unlocked bootloader, etc.).

The question is, is it worth the $300+ premium over the Atrix? I can get an unlocked Atrix right now for ~$580. Whereas the SGSII is currently around $850-$900 for the 16GB version (32GB still not out).

I am unsure whether this huge price difference is worth it. Would waiting a couple more months drive the price down for the SGSII?

What do you guys think?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinay427:
Thanks for the good comparison! It seems like, having never owned a recent Samsung smartphone, Samsung Android devices (at least the Galaxy series) look great on paper but have major quality and connectivity issues that aren't really talked about or discovered until they're released.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongoDroid:
These are two of the best phones on the market and I chose the atrix... Enjoy whatever choice you make. Droid vs droid you can't go wrong.

SGS2 clearly isn't the better device. To say its clearly better than the Atrix is ridiculous
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marzliak:
I'm in doubt too. I’m selling my Nexus S right now cause reception issues... I’m afraid that gs2 have the same weakness... :mad:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
dont forget all the games optimized for tegra. what use is the faster cpu if there is no games built for it...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joyo22:
I only have to say that my Atrix's battery rocks. I've owned several smartphones in the last year and Atrix has the best battery performance by a mile. I squeezed 26 hours of moderate use out of it yesterday/today and it still has 26% left.

Does the SGSII does that? I doubt it.

PS: I have 3g always on, 35 mins of calls, 4hs display, some gaming, texting and navigation. No GPS use.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reubenyap:
Well I have used the Atrix for about 2 months and yesterday gave in and bought the SGS2. All I can say that SGS2's out of the box experience is MUCH better than the Atrix which was plagued with difficulties.

I suffered from both touchscreen issues and voice quality issues on my initial Atrix and it took them so long to come up with a fix and still no news on the locked bootloader besides a promise that it would be unlocked.

And definitely the SGS2 is much faster both in real life performance and benchmarks. There were still moments of lagginess of the Atrix which I believe is most likely a software thing but still...there wasn't really a noticeable difference with the dual-core. I don't know how much Gingerbread played in this though.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
I have seen the following problems in the last few days (running rooted stock EC05):

-alarm reminders for the calendar go off hours late

-adjustments to the phone calendar or computer one don't sync

I have checked sync and time zone settings on both and can't figure out what's wrong. And yes, all the events seem to be stored on the google account, not the stupid offline phone calendar, by default (fixed in Froyo ROMs supposedly). Suggestions are appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
Is anyone experiencing alarms not going off? This just happened again with one I set for 15 mins beforehand. I wonder if it'll ring much later...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gersonian:
I seem to be having issues with my exchange calendar syncing. I have just started to fiddle around to see if I can figure out what is going on. Do you have any update? I am on the most current srf, even though my sig may say otherwise at the moment.
[HTC Aria General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Looking to see if anybody has the original file of ARIA ringtones, If someone has it or knows where to find one please let me know.

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] brivette007:
You can get them from a sense ROM zip file. Double click on it and navigate to system\media\audio\ringtones. If you don't have the stock ROM handy, download one of the Liberated ROMs from this forum.

I had a bit of a brain fart earlier in the week, I also wanted to get the original sounds, and didn't think to look in the zip file. Thanks to drumist for the info.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
I was just wondering what phone you guys are waiting for, I'm personally waiting for the sgs2, hopefully it comes out soon enough. Seems mostly everyone has gone to the g2x already.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
if they did go for the g2x already i feel sorry for them in my opinion. ive seen the reviews and no way is it even close to sg2 not even close to htc sensation. im gonna get either one of those, preferable sg2!
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
That's exactly what i'm thinking, the g2x isn't that great, I think most people got it because the guy who made cm7 has one also.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
Precisely.
[Vibrant General] DontJoinTheDarkSide:
The reason why a lot of people have gone towards the g2x is the big support from the Dev community. Unlocked bootloader + source has already been released.

Not to mention sg2 has no release date for the u.s, others couldn't wait.

+10char
[Vibrant General] archie53:
These are reasons why people in this community would buy or take a long look at it, seems like a good phone and most reviews are quite good. Samsung and there slow updates, and lack of source make a tough phone for developers and now that HTC and Moto are locking their bootloaders, its gets harder to dev's to make the fun they make.
[Vibrant General] VeryCoolAlan:
Definitely an HTC

I had the choice of G2 or Vibrant me thinking Awesome hardware=better than G2.

I was wrong.
[Vibrant General] |Melvin|:
im thinking of getting the sgs2 or sensation...

[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
Hands Down SGS2, I love being able to tinker, but even if I cant I love samsung hardware. I gotta say for support though, LG or HTC
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I never understood the craze over the g2. Is there something with current roms that you don't like?
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
Idk about craze over the G2, but it is a fantastic phone, especially for emulators in my opinion, but thats because you can get some nice clocks outta the CPU. I got one (well, not mine, I tinker with my friends) running @ 1.8ghz, and thats pretty sexy playing OOT on there perfectly (almost) In regards to roms, you mean for vibrant? I have no problem with anyones work =) just prefer my own I'm working on =P
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
I understand that the G2, and all second gen snapdragons for that matter, can clock high, but is there any application other than emulators that use that power. After all, developers have to take care of both the low and high end phones. Plus, you are killing the lifespan of the CPU and lowering your battery life.

The vibrant runs fine on 2.2.1 and is helped by Samsung's GPU acceleration implementation in both the launcher and browser. And once the i9000 gingerbread roms start rolling out, we can only expect greater speed and stability.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Mostly people suffer from nuevo-addiction and waiting is just too much. Also, alot of people who have phones I have noticed once the phone becomes bugfree with lots of support they bail for a new phone to conquer the new phone system.

I am waiting for the S2
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
if you've got the money why nit?:D if I'm a millionaire I would buy all the latest android phone.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
SGS2

Most likely a better processor (as long as we don't get the Tegra2 version)

SAMOLED plus

more RAM
[Vibrant General] ThC23:
G2X then SGS2!
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I'm looking forward to the sensation. The galaxy s2 wont be significantly better in terms of hardware, and I've got a real bad taste in my mouth from the lack of support my vibrant has received from Samsung. Locked bootloader or not, the sensation is still a pretty good looking phone that I'm sure will perform well.

Worst case scenario, I buy the sensation, hate it and return within 14 days, wait for something else to be released. My vibrant and hd2 should keep me happy until I find something great.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
To me the problem is buying a carrier altered edition of the phone. The international GS seems to get upgrades just fine. They don't have to wait on Samsung AND then the retarded carriers with all their alterations and other BS. That's what owning my Vibrant has taught me. 100% international & unlocked only from here on in. I'll be buying the International SGS2 as soon as I can, no US version for me ever again.
[Vibrant General] jamboy5590:
all i want is a new google nexus phone with a notification led duel cameras with flash and a duel core processor then ill be happy
[Vibrant General] Spartoi:
The Galaxy S 2 looks like a really solid phone, and will probably be the best (overall) hard-wise until the end the year. However, I'm more interested in the Evo 3D.
[Vibrant General] kyledvibrant:
Im waiting on the SGS 2 all the specs and reviews I have read seem to show that while the G2x is a great phone the SGS 2 is betther in every way. Cant wait been saving my upgrade for six months waiting on this phone.

I recently just rooted my wife's evo. She finally let me. So I was checking out the evo development to get a custom rom. My question is why does the evo have like so many choices for o e kernel? They have like bfs, the cfs and then subtypes of havs or havs nots. How come the epic doesn't have all these options? I'm just curious cause I was lost till I did some research on them. I thought I would just click on the kernel and there would be just one not like four different options. Thanks guys.

Most ROMs have custom kernels with them and there are also custom kernel choices. I have found the best kernel for performance and stability is Genocide. I use that kernel on top of Bonsai ROM. Lots of choices in the Development section.

Do you BONSAI?

That's the difference between samsung vs htc. Htc has a far superior software platform. Samsung is totally different and harder.

I've been informed, via work, that I must put together a report of what would improve customer satisfaction and the customer experience.

Obviously I have my own ideas, none of which upper management really enjoys. But I would love to get opinions form other users.

Now, I realize that XDA may not be the best place to ask. Most of us know how to resolve our own issues, and when having to visit a device support center just want the phone exchanged, quick and clean. With that being said, try and make your suggestions geared towards if you didn't know your device, or if it was for an electronic gadget you didn't know, or what your friends and family have expressed.

Please be as detailed as possible. It would be nice to see specific requests and what consumers specifically want to see. Do you want in depth answer? Do you just want your problems solved? What nuances would make the experiences better, ex- coffee in the lobby, types of magazines, interactions, children's play areas, etc...

How much time would you be willing for a transaction, keeping in mind we have to troubleshoot the issue. What would be acceptable and what wouldn't be. Do you prefer someone that jokes around, or someone that doesn't.

Any very specific details as to what YOU would want to see, how you want people to act, what information you want to be given and what you don't. If you want, go ahead and write a novel for your preferred customer service interaction experience with in depth details.

Any help would be appreciated.
[General Topics] jark99:
what type of experience are you tailoring too? as in you want us to write about good customer service, but towards what? cosemetics? doctor appointments? computer repairs?

im kind of confused.

as for me, i like customer service to be the best it can be. Fun savy people who know how to keep a conversation while able to in depth tell me what is the problem with the device and how to fix it. Magazines at table near by with a few good reads is generally a good idea. Giving the customer a time fence of when they should expect repairs to be done is also good along with the company calling the customer themselves to tell them everything is done.
[General Topics] mepis:
I'm actually gearing the info more towards a cell phone warranty/troubleshooting center. Trying to keep it as generic as possible. But looking for outside opinions to gear my reports on. Something outside of my ideas that I am able to present data with. I'm asking opinions frame multiple places. But ultimately the customer experience is what I'm after. And making sure customers happy and taken care of within reason, while resolving device issues.

I first posted this in the HTC EVO section, but I think it is of more general interest.

There are numerous threads devoted to the editing and creation of custom splash screens -- including how to make them into a flashable .zip -- for installation on the EVO. What is missing from all of this is a way for Mac users to change their custom images into the, required, .rgb565 format.

Help is now available! I contacted Thorsten Lemke, the creator of Graphic Converter, image manipulation software for Mac. I asked if he would add this capability to Graphic Converter -- and he has done it.

I have tested his beta and it works. This feature is NOT yet included in the latest release version on the website. BUT -- if some of you Mac users reading this, email him, I am sure he'll finish it up. Or, at least, he might direct you to the beta.

http://www.lemkesoft.com/ is the main site. Contact info is there.

----Announcement----

Ok, so first the disappointing news, of course as soon as I started planning this application I got swamped by schoolwork and regular work, so there is actually very little done on the project. I still have a lot to learn about Android development itself. So I wholeheartedly apologize if I got anyone's hopes up, etc. I got in way too far over my head and while I don't plan on not doing this it is certainly not going to be done anytime soon. This summer I plan on at least getting some alpha stuff working but then in the fall I'll be starting my first year at the University of Guelph for Software Engineering so we'll see how much I get done. Again I'm deeply sorry if I mislead anyone in my abilities, or the progress of this application

----Overview----

Hey all, I don't know how many of you know about the amazing Windows media player known as MediaMonkey or the variety of features it has (Auto-organize, Tag from web, DLNA support, etc) but thats besides the point. I feel that the one thing this amazing program lacks is a mobile app to go along with it, so with the release of MM4 looming (You can grab the beta here) I've decided that I will develop just such an app. Official support has been given to this project by the MediaMonkey developers and more than enough people have expressed interest in this project so I'm going ahead and starting development! Right now only support for music is planned though video may come eventually as well!

----Planned Features----

MM.db sync and merge

Non-native codec support (Ogg, Flac, Ape)

Basic library managment (Tag with Amazon.com search, media scanner to load non-native codecs)

DLNA control point for MM4

DLNA renderer for MM4

Lockscreen widget with swipe controls

Companion MM4 plugin to handle syncing

Skin support
