Do not mention even Desire HD. I am not a user of SGS 2 but I am pretty sure there is no other companies than HTC can prodecure a lower speaker phone than Desire HD. That was my one of the main reasons to sell Desire HD.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
My Desire Hd was crap UBER CRAP! i hope SGS2 is better, any improvment is a +, also curious if its better than iphone 4 speaker as that was my most recent device, anybody know? thanks
[Galaxy S II General] zxz0O0:
Do not expect too much from mobile phone speakers, as they can not have that good quality because of their dimension and form. IMO every mobile phone has bad speaker quality (never had one with good).
[Galaxy S II General] sammy555:
True but its all relative. I seem to remember my 1890 hd or whatever we caled the omnia hd having quite good speakers.
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
Comparing with Dad's iPhone 4 I'd say it's on par if not a little clearer. It misses all the low-end bass but it's not meant for music and the speakerphone quality is ace.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
thanks, i asked this because i was happy with iphone 4 although sometimes some tracks felt a little low but in general was ok,
[Galaxy S II General] xspyda:
You've never owned or heard the Nokia 5800 then? Astounding quality speakers (yes there are two). Never heard another phone better than it, proves it IS possible to get good quality from small dimensions.
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
speaker review. its v loud

[Galaxy S II General] eozen81:
Obviously better than Desire HD, none of us saying mobile phones' speakers should rock our world but Desire HD's speaker is really really unacceptable.
[Galaxy S II General] =dave=:
i am also an ex dhd user. every time this thingy rang, and i was surrounded by other people, i felt ashame for the super low budget speaker this phone was ringing with. peace of crap
[Galaxy S II General] eozen81:
Below Andy's very useful comparison video related with Samsung Galaxy S2.

It's so obvious that new speaker champ is SGS 2

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dickie2007:
Quick question guys,

I just rang my local T-Mobile store to see what their pricing is going to be on the SGS2 and i was told they still have no idea... I have a contract with them that i'm using in my SGS2 i picked up from Phones 4 u last week. I wanted it sooner rather than later so i could get a good idea of the phones performance and still have the option to return within the 14 days if i wasn't happy or if T-Mobile can do me a better deal.

the guy on the phone said that he'd heard a lot of Phones 4 u's SGS2's have been returned due to issues with the device shutting down after a couple of days usage, becoming near inopperable... When i told him i'd had no such issues, he told me that it was because i'd only had mine since the 27th.... i told him that as far as i was aware it was only available from the 26th at the earliest...

Anyways, this seems like dirty tactics to me, has anyone else heard of such reports?? As far as my device is concerned its been flawless, and i'm certain that if this was happening we'd have heard of it on here, if not from bloggers and reviewers...

the phone call really p*ssed me off, almost to the point where i'm thinking of telling t-mobile to stick it and switching to the new Orange sim i have...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
Sales tactics never cease to amaze me.

The majority of early adopters are on here, and there has not been a single report of malfunction

Jumping from t-mobile to orange, is like choosing between 6 and half a dozen (same company)

Move over to 3 or vodafone and enjoy high speed data (instead of the t-mobile 300 kbps limit)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
No issue with mine and I got it on the 26th from p4u.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dickie2007:
yeah i couldn't find anything of it, and as i said to him, most early adopters are going to be people like me, who actively use forums and follow pre/reviews etc...

i realise they have/are merging, but i really wanted to get a better deal upgrading, but tbh it was the guys cocky know-it-all attitude that really got me, i'm a huge believer in quality customer service, and when i originally questioned Phones 4 U as to why i should choose them over T-Mobile direct, i actually got a good 'honest' sales pitch, not a cheap-ass shot at the competition...

The T-Mobile guy even tried to tell me that the reason they aren't stocking it yet, and still not for at least a week, is due to the device having faulty software and told me to expect problems with my device over the comming few days...

Hope everyone else is loving their soon to be faulty SGS2's as much as i am!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] td444:
Typical sales bull****. If there really is a common issue, its sure going to get noticed and logged onto forums. Unless its Apple, in which case the laws of fashion step in.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eltocliousus:
I'm quite new to the Android scene and with so many choices of ROMs I want to test them all out and see what fits my needs, however I do have quite a lot of contacts and having to put them into my phone over and over would be very tedious and irritating, is there a way to keep them between ROMs even after using full-wipe.zip? Maybe keeping them on the SDcard somehow and hopefully they'll work through that?

Any answers are appreciated, thankyou.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
All your contacts are sync'd with your Google account and so are Apps if you ticked the option (search for more details).

Question asked and answered in great detail many times.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
If you didnt check the option like me, you could back it up

use: MyBackup (i use this)

or Titanium Backup (havent used this personally, but heard its good)

But there could be Compatibility issues when backup apps from one ROM and restoring to the other ROM (check and ask first)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottymeuk:
When trying to change my SIM Card pin my phone just locked up and went to a screen that says:

Emergency Calls Only

Please see the User Guide or contact Customer Care.

It's on T Mobile UK and has been fully rooted, and is running the latest CM7 build.

When i go to enter the PUK code, it allows that but does not come up with an option to click next, and when i press dial it just tells me that it's not an emergency number.

Any ideas?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal*El:
Thats a good post...Thats a question I've been meaning to ask as well... Which ROM is the best.. I have the Sprint Lovers Rom bc I all I wanted was to be able to use the phone for its wifi ability instead of paying Sprint $30 for that garbage...

Although it seems my sense based ROM is old (so to speak) bc the Cyn mods deliver really great themes etc... But as you said how is it on the battery, when the evo already has a battery issue and I def dont want to take away from it anymore than I have too...

Do other ROMs use the ability to have other devices connect to it? Is the feature not available? Are there any good sense based themes.. IF so can someone point me to a thread.. ( when using a link please be sure it actually had what im asking) I know how to search havent found much..

So far Ive kept the sprint lovers rom..I have add a custom splash.. but i want to change my dial pad..diff boot animations.. not really seeming any that jump out here.. I would love to create some... Just a lot of questions...

I like the smooth, clean,modern look of some mods Ive seen but afraid to change bc of what i'd lose...

Ideas?
[LG Optimus 2x] jtra:
Hi,

I'm choosing a phone for my father who's hobby is a chess. The best chess program for Android is probably Droidfish. It is based on one of the fastest, free and opensource (GPL3) chess engines, called Stockfish. Performance in Chess depends mostly on CPU integer manipulation speed and memory system speed (RAM, RAM caches). Chess program scale very well on to multiple CPU core machines (at least on PC). So when I noticed the price of LG O2X is similar to HTC Desire S which I intended to buy for him (because I have good experience with original HTC Desire), I got intrigued by two cores. Can somebody do a performance test on Chess for me? Exact steps are below.

Step to measure:

1) Install Droidfish: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.petero.droidfish

(there are several clones in the market, but this one comes from author of the UI, Peter Österlund, see here http://web.comhem.se/petero2home/droidfish/index.html )

2) Run Droidfish

3) Press menu button, invoke "Settings", activate option "Show computer thinking" in "Hints" section. Press back button.

4) There is button with label "M" below chess board. Press it. Choose "Analysis Mode". Analysis will start. Keep it running for about 1 minute. You can watch time in "t:" field in status at the botom, but it updates only occasionally.

5) After 1 minute passed, read "nps:" field in status. This is the measurement I'm interested in. On my HTC Desire I get values in range of 80000 to 90000. This value is a number of positions searched per second. Higher is better. This number depends on position (we used initial position; some positions are faster to search) and depth searched.

6) To force program to stop thinking, press "M" button again, choose "Two players" so that analysis will stop.

Unfortunately, the test is not repeatable since chess engine remembers previous findings which may affect the speed. If you want to repeat the test, go to Android's main settings, choose "Application", then "Manage Applications", find Droidfish, press "Force stop", press "Clear data" and confirm. You can repeat test now.

Thank you in advance for measuring!

I am running CyanogenMod 7 Nightly, it might be faster on other roms, who knows :)

Hi

did get 101527 in first attempt after 60 seconds

second attempt gave me 102200, again after 60 seconds

im on FR13 Modaco Rom
[LG Optimus 2x] tamarian:
I got 102628, on CM nightly 1
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
About 102k+ on stock firmware (v10b), unrooted.

That was fun :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
me too about 102500 is the lowest score and about 103200 is the highest score.

Running rooted stock rom with pauls tweaks/patches.
[LG Optimus 2x] jtra:
Thank you all for measurements.

So values are

HTC Desire - about 84000 nps

HTC Desire S - about 90000 nps (I measured once in HTC shop)

LG Optimus 2x - about 102000 nps

All of these processors run at 1GHz. But that can process different number of instructions per cycle. These values are expected as Desire S has very slightly improved processor and single core of Optimus 2x is slightly better at that as well according to what I have read about the processor. But it also means that the program is unable to use two cores.

With two cores, I would expect values like 140000 to 170000 nps (based on how these programs scale to multiple cores on PC). I don't know why two cores are not used. The support for more cores is quite new in Droidfish (Changelog entry indicates: "2011-01-02: Version 1.26 - Made stockfish use all available CPU cores"). And probably untested on variety of phones. Code to detect number of processors is also strange (DroidFish/src/org/petero/droidfish/engine/DroidComputerPlayer.java, where method getNumCPUs() gets number of processor by parsing /proc/stat ). Maybe it has something to do with only Android 2.2 not fully supporting multi core CPUs. So it might be interesting to retest once update to 2.4 is available. Or is there any expert on multicore programs in the 2x with different explanation?
[LG Optimus 2x] drcorwe:
Android 2.2 supports several cores, contrary to popular belief. Single-threaded apps (that'd be most crap on Market) won't do too good however. The issue in this case I'd say is because of suboptimal LG firmware (which no doubt will be improved with LG's implementation of Android 2.3).

These are my figures using another ROM, based on LG stock Android 2.2; Modaco ROM for LG Optimus 2x.

It is not overclocked.
[LG Optimus 2x] jtra:
Wow, you have got the result I expected from using both cores. 195k nps is great.

Modaco ROM must be good! :-) At least it reports numbers of cores in /proc/stat in a way that Droidfish succesfully parses and allows to run multiple threads of the same process on both cores.

Edit: just for a comparison, since measurement was done later than 1 minute, I ran the test until I got about 24 million positions ("n:" label), it took 274 seconds on HTC Desire (87506 nps). So O2x is 2.25x faster the Desire.
