That ofcourse being personal opinion. But IMO all the GS2 talk is irrevelent, because neither sprint nor samsung has even confirmed the phone exists. So its not like they have leaked it, or announced it like the photon so talking about it seems premature.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
The same Engadget that gave the original EVO a 9 out of 10?

Same for the SGII.
[EVO 4G General] jonathan.strunk:
i can't agree more. At first i was all pumped about the EVO 3D... but the camera on my EVO 4G is so good, i don't want to loose that. Plus with all the roms and mods out there for the EVO you can almost do anything you want to it. door 3 for me is to keep my EVO.
[EVO 4G General] knotcw:
played with the evo 3d for 2 hrs have to say its not an upgrade guys take out 3d and its just and evo juiced up nothings that impressive or different now the sensation blew me away t-mobile finally got a nice htc phone its way faster than the evo 3d more responsive and just looks and feels better dont really know why cause specs are so similar but when u play with both its a huge difference
[EVO 4G General] TF1984:
i'm on hold for the GSii or other (which rumored could be the Nexus 3... tegra 3 running the first iteration and release of ICS maybe early fall).

The 3D has gotten nothing but poor reveiws from the sites like Engadget. Single camera shots are very poor, light issues, and the 3d cannot be zoomed. Bring into account that the battery is barely bigger than the Evo's and you've got a formula for utter disaster and frustration. I remember the first weeks of my Evo when everyone was going nuts about how horrible the battery life was... no thank you! Also, the phone feels cheap to those that have held it, I want something solid this time around.

The GSii is a BIG possibility. Couple key factors to verify: 1. no Phys KB 2. 4G antenna 3. Released by early August

I found a post yesterday where inside scoop indicated from a verified, truthful track record source that Sprint is looking to release the GSii on July 24th. Note this coincides with exactly one month after 3d release.. makes sense. The new Touchwiz is slick, not to mention CM team already has a GSii and is deving for it so vanilla AOSP will be an option undoubtedly. http://thegadgets.net/2011/06/12/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-release-confirmed-by-2-independent-sources/

BUT... I can't help but have a killing curiosity of what will launch toward the end of this year... Nexus 3, quad cores, blah blah blah. IDK, I don't even need to replace the Evo, I have just finally gotten bored with it. I need a tech fix ASAP.

Why would anyone even consider getting the Nexus S4g now??? 512 Ram, 1GhZ chip... worse cam then Evo... it's already old and it just launched. IMO...
[EVO 4G General] TF1984:
Rumor - Verizon to launch GSii in July: http://www.wirelessandmobilenews.co...s2-function-release-date-july-functional.html

Sprint - July 24th launch: http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2011/06/13/samsung-galaxy-s2-for-sprint-possible-release-date/

Official global release dates, rolling out, June 14th last date on list... Prepping for US launch? http://samsunggalaxys2review.org/samsung-galaxy-s2-release-dates

Also, it was confirmed this morning Canadian carrier will have GSii on first week of July http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/17/galaxy-s-ii-coming-to-sasktel-next-month-we-embark-on-northward/

... Bueno!!
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Funny you say that because according to Phil from Android central......

"The EVO 3D's got Android 2.3.3 and the new Sense 3.0, which we're very much madly in love with. A big reason for that is the lock screen. And while we thought we really loved Sense 3.0 on the HTC Sensation, we're even more over the moon about it on the EVO 3D. It's fast. Really fast. No lag at all. In fact, switching back to the Sensation, it's almost painful. And that makes us sad."

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-evo-3d-initial-review

So the sensation is "way faster and more responsive.... really?? lol
[EVO 4G General] thajacka:
ill be getting the evo 3d on launch, rumors are that sgs2 is to be released july 24th, thats exactly 30 days, so if im not happy with 3d, ill return it and try out sgs2..or i will return it if another big phone announcement comes within that 30 days
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
LOL, just label all that ish RUMOR and I heard from my brother who heard from his friend who heard from a janitor............blah blah blah.

Nothing official in anything posted, but i will let you have your dreams.
[EVO 4G General] TF1984:
Yes, the first two are rumors, as clearly stated in the links. However the 24th reference comes from two totally sep sources, one of which has been correct on everything mentioned re sprint to date.

Third, the global release plan is OFFICIAL.

Yes, I have my dreams and I hope we do get to see the SGSii in July, but of course that may be a bit aggressive.
[EVO 4G General] murphdsurf:

Extremely excited to get the SG2 Tomorrow end of day, one question thouw moving from Windows mobile to Android:

what productivity Tool you suggest for android? one that can read Calendars and Tasks in one window....

P.S. does Kies sync Outlook tasks? any idea/ alternative??

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TheMathMan:
Pocket Informant?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
Been using it over windows mobile, but heard its not that good on Android so i am looking for some alternatives if any...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Tough.Enough:
Nothing beats the windows mobile (the old one) in productivity ... specially if you were using pocket breeze..

what I'm doing right now to reduce the gap ... is using pocket informant (calender sync: gamil) (tasks sync: Toodledo) .. and to do so I have companionlink installed on my pc.

I'm considering replacing the Toodledo sync with .. Remember The Milk ...

Widgets .. there are many but nothing come to the level of Pocket Breeze ... however, the Android version of PB is coming soon
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
ohhh, yes i agree with you. pocket breeze was something on my old HD & HD2 ...and it is great to know there is a version coming soon for android... thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Stitch!:
Im using pure calendar widget with gtasks. The widget is a paid app, but really customizable. Gtasks is really nice to create tasks and you can make it work perfectly with Pure calendar widget. I now have a transparent widget with white tasks and my google calendar items in white, except some urgent items that are red. It auto syncs with google tasks and google calendar and it looks quite amazing! I can post some screenshots later if you want.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Tough.Enough:
pure calender looks cool .. but the Gtasks will not help if you want to sync your tasks with outlook ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
Stitch and Tough

thank you very much for the comments. i will surely try that, but yes, i still need something that sync with outlook.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kibasscies:
In the latest release of firmware (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) you will find Google Calendar as a default application which will do what you are looking for: strict integration between calendar and scheduled events and, moreover, everything can be managed via your Google account from any device you are using (desktop, laptop, smartphone, etc) and therefore from any location.
[Android Software Development] twolostminds:
Hello all,

Recently a relative approached me asking to help catalog and inventory our deceased cousins library of more than 30,000 books. She loved to read and was apparently a bit of a hoarder as well.

I asked some friends who had large collections of DVD's, CD's, Book's, etc and also a few book hunters and owners of independent book stores for software suggestions to help me with this somewhat intimidating task before me.

Just about everyone suggested the same program ASellerTool 5.2 It uses the Dell X51/X51v and a bluetooth barcode scanner to enter books into a database to create catalogs, inventories and even creates exports for selling on sites like Amazon. I would prefer to use my Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G or purchase a Galaxy Tab or other Android Tablet to get the job done rather than buy outdated equipment. I have contacted ASellerTool and while they are working on an Android compatible package they say that it will be crippled compared to their WinMo 5.0/6.0 package.

As application inventors what is your opinion? Is this possible?

Regarding the ROM: (Rom)Ava-Froyo Z3 Overhaul. New look,Performance,Battery - xda-developers

First, I apologize for making this thread, I've looked around and couldn't find a solution to my question and after two days of trying to figure this out, I am at my wits' end. I am new to flashing/rooting.

I have tried flashing the ROM linked above using ROM Manager, but it never applies. Instead I would just get what seems like the stock ROM of the phone. I've also tried going into recovery, wiping data/partition/caches, then installing the ROM via zip. Yet I get the same result where the ROM never applies. My phone is of course rooted.

In addition, I tried flashing the included themes in the link above, but nothing gets applied.

Please help and thanks in advance.

Did HTC pull the plug out of the ota?

This afternoon I could download it without problems, since tonight there are 'no updates' anymore.
[Desire HD General] Prodelin:
Probably bcz of the dreadly WiFi disconnect problems, i wish i never installed the update.
[Desire HD General] milosmeda:
Also same problem here :(
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Downgrade it then and quit your complaining
[Desire HD General] milosmeda:
I mean't problem with that there is no avalibale update showing...
[Desire HD General] halokin:
Same problem here! This afternoon I checked and there was the OTA but I gave it up because I was under 3G, so I didn't update it! When I came back home I've checked for the OTA many times under 3G and under WIFI too but it has been telling me "There are no updates available for your phone"!

Any suggestion??
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
When you decline it it often takes a few days to show update again even when manually checking. Had this with the Hero too.

The old trick used to be to set your date 1 month ahead (turn off set by network) then restart phone.

[Desire HD General] halokin:
I tried it even twice but unfortunately it didn't work!
[Desire HD General] Andy:
You've missed your chance, HTC have added your handset to a "Ban List" you won't get the update now. All you can for now is dream about Gingerbread.

:) Seriously, you'll get the option to upgrade soon enough, give it a day or so.
[Desire HD General] halokin:
Thx man! I hope you're right! This morning yet!
[Desire HD General] identities:
As long as the website said there is newer firmware, sooner or later you will get the update, except they pull it off because flaws. (if I remember correctly there is one which is pulled off because of flaws)
[Desire HD General] halokin:
Got OTA another one time some hours ago... This time I downloaded and installed it! All has been working well!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revlis240:
Hey guys,

Here is the issue. I thought nandroid would restore a total image of the system before i started tinkering with the new fresh 4.0 update. I nandroided my perfectly running fresh 3.5 and upgraded to fresh 4.0

I didnt like fresh 4.0 and decided to go back to 3.5

Well, it restored just fine, I booted up and the GMail and Market app were not working. I tried to clear the cache on both, but it would not clear. I deleted the apps from the system/app folder and flashed the gapps zip thru recovery.

Now gmail works fine, but the market will not launch. it force closes every time.

Ive tried every which way (even tried to install a com.android.vending.apk i foiund) and it jsut wont work.

1) How do I fix the market?

2) Why am I having this issue anyway? I cleared dalvik/cache/factory reset/ then restored the nandroid. Why did it not go back EXACTLY the way it was?

Thanks so much

Abe :(

-----------------

**** EDIT ****

THANK baby jesus. I downloaded a com.android.vending 2.3.3 and did adb push to the system/app folder. now its working.

still doesnt explain why the nandroid restore let me down. Was not the full on "image restore" i was expecting!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkvvoob:
Hello!

I've been playing around with RCMix S today, but ultimately I couldn't figure how to solve the low internal storage space, so I decided to go back to Stock Foyo (only rooted).

To my surprise, however, after the successful flashing, I found out that my sd-ext partition no longer appeared in Partition Info (the little app that shows all your, well, partitions).

My SD card is 8 GB, with first FAT32 and 512 ext3 partitions. I did a check with GParted and both partitions appeared all right, no problems whatsoever.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
Are you sure it's partition 1? What I have is all 0xFF's.
[Atrix 4G General] eval-:
What? Your mmcblk0p1 is not your bootloader?? It's not a 3.5mb partition?

I promise you, I have a half dozen dd from users. Here, I'll make you a zip:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/268607/bl-mystery.zip

They're all the same. Except that those of us who went to 1.8.3 by .sbf have a bootloader that looks like 1.5.7. Bootloader for ATT is mmcblk0p1, CG44+47.
[Atrix 4G General] lurchbyrep:
eval-, I wonder if the sbf's were never intended to flash the bootloader because they are not Moto's intended method for update. If they assume nearly everyone is going to update through OTA means (as that nagging on-screen message is impossible to resist indefinitely), then they are likely to assume that an RSD flash will only occur when a customer takes their phone back to the carrier or manufacturer. Is it not the case that our sbf's are merely leaked and only intended for use by the carrier or by Moto themselves? If this were the case, and the returned phone was already brought up to date, then the bootloader would not need to be reflashed through an sbf.
[Atrix 4G General] NFHimself:
It's ~3.5MB, sure, but it's either protected and returns 0xff or really doesn't exist there. Could be the difference between the SE and NS showing up in rsd lite, dunno.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
I applied the OTA to 1.5.7 but used the SBF for 1.8.3 so i was interested in the results even if they weren't helpful to you.

I don't have that Download code started... line, but i do have:

grep -a Mar /sdcard-ext/mmcblk0p1.img

Mar 1 2011, 09:20:20

Marking Runtime Bad block: Chip%u Block=%u

Block dev Physical Ioctl failed. Marking Chip=%d,Blk=%d

Marking Bad block failed forChip=%d Block=%d

Marked blk bad bank = %d, block = %d Rev = %d lba = %d

So not even the 1.2.6 sbf flashes the stock bootloader? Anyway, i think we had dumps of 1.2.6 before we had the SBF so you could get what you want that way...
[Atrix 4G General] eval-:
Yeap, fascinating. Here's Nvidia's patents on the secure boot process:

http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=GB&NR=2457172

Wonder if perhaps our bootloader is encrypted by that strategy (on top of being signed), in some region we cannot directly access from android userspace. Sigh.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] simplythebest1:
Hi all, Just wanted to contribute to this wonderful community as it has given me so much. I was having signal issues, very weak 4g...Constant switching from 4g to E. I read about people who didnt have the right 4g service applied to their contract from T-Mobile.

Mine was a $25 a month data service which did not benefit my phone like it should. The guy who helped from t-mobile showed me that indeed my phone should have been running the $30 4g service which replaces the one I had. Once I had the switch done my service went from E - four bars to 4g - three bars instantly.

Go check your contract and make sure you make the switch if you have a 4g phone. Good luck. I'm running the eagleblood 1.02 and its perfect, Never had any freezes, Reboots etc...A little screen bleeding but overall best phone I have had.

I have also removed the blue tape behind the cover for the heck of it. NOt sure if it has had any effect but definitely check your services.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nextgin:
I have the 4G Data on my plan, and I still have the same issue. Thanks Anyway
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
This is NOT true. My very good friend works in the tech support side for T-Mobile and he told me the only difference between the 4G plan and my plan is 5$. The 4G plan is only a computer code for pricing and does nothing for your service. I should know because I had it on my phone and after he took it off for me, guess what.....I still got the same service and download speeds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
The problem with this phone is low signal strength. It seems to have problems with low signals, 1-2 bars and then loses connection intermittantly. If your 4G keeps going down to 2G do a hard reset to clear the settings. It should keep the 4G regardless of the signal after. For me I lose the signal at home especially if I hold the phone from the bottom with my palm to the back, I can watch the bars go away then when I remove my hand it raises up. Antenna is in a bad place I think. LG messed up!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I'm still on the MT3G $24.99 a month unlimited data + 400 texts plan, my phone gets great 4G speeds, (at least as great as T-Mo's "4G" is capable of) definitely faster than the same plan on my N1.

ETA: I'm in Seattle, T-Mobiles U.S. base of operations. I dunno for sure, but it makes sense that the data coverage here would be a little better than in a lot of other areas.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dlammons:
I'm suddenly having IPhone 4 flash-backs!!! Sheesh.. For what its worth I was having the same issues with low to no signal, but I recently (last night) installed the 2.3.3 GB Rom and I must confess that I have all the bars and no WIFI sleeping issues.. YMMV..

They didn't change the radio firmware but apparently my phone likes the GB ROM better I guess.....

Good Luck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashton4life:
So do you think the Gingerbread update may help the low signal issues? I returned my phone today and now I have to wait for them to send me my deposit back. I may just wait a month or so and buy it again if others see a difference also. The Tmobile 2.3 update is suppose to happen some time this month.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bobthq:
I got my unlimited 4g with 5gb cap for $20/month,u got ripped off
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
It doesn't matter if you have the 4g plan or the regular plan. The speeds stay exactly the same. Anyone who thinks the 4G data plan has anything to do with your data speeds needs to delete there screen name and stop fallowing this website.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikett26:
The plan doesn't affect the speed or the fluctuation issues of 4G/2G/EDGE. It basically just comes down to your coverage area.

I was having absolutely no issues with 4G signals since I bought the phone, but when I went to Dallas last weekend I was having weak signals, slow downloads, etc. Went back to Austin and signal was fine like before.

I'm still on the old G1 unlimited data plan and speeds are faster than when I was on my G1.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IknowWhatIdontKnow:
g2x signal weaker then g1 signal

My G2x gets a weaker signal then my G1 does in the exact same spots. My G1 can be 3g when my G2x is EDGE in the exact same spot. Walking from an EDGE spot to 3g/4g coverage area my G1 bumps up 100-500 feet sooner the the G2x. Nobody at LG or t-mobile would do anything about it. Returned the g2x on day 14 but they had to pry it out of my hands because other then having a sucky signal I loooooved the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] datboycuong:
I was told by a customer service rep that works for sprint that 4G for Tmobile only works if you switch to Sprint and put the sim card in the Sprint phone. Then you will have to get some foil and wrap your phone in it and hold it 91 degree from the angle of the sun.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lokibtm:
I got my G2x a few days ago and was having some serious signal issues. Half of the time it was on emergency calls only. T-mobile suggested I swap my SIM that I had for 3 years, saying they had reports of older sims not working with the upgraded HSPA+ 42 towers. It immediately fixed the issues everywhere except at home where they are having problems upgrading that tower.

If you have signal issues, try swapping out that old sim. Also check if you are in a market that is getting upgraded
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hiryuu:
Same here. Apparently my old SIM card was only good for Edge whereas I got a free 3G (works with 4G) sim card replacement at a T-Mobile store.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechFu:
My observations....

When i was using my Nexus One as my main phone... i could tell the day hey turned on HDSPA+ in my area...i was getting about 5mb down and 1.5 - 2 MB up almost consistently for about a few weeks ...then it dropped down to regularly 2-3 down and about 1.5 up. Which is about what i was getting up until i ot my G2x. Now my top speeds are about 7MB down and if i am lucky i hit 1mb up otherwise it is almost always a hair below 1mb up. Yes i know the Nexus one was not 4g HSDPA+...but like i said i could tell they day they turned it on. When i got the Nexus One i switched from Blackberry and I never switched my actual plan until i got the G2x. So to me it seems there is some type of throttling involved somehow. Just think about it... if you go over your 5GB limit with the so called unlimited plan.... they throttle your speed right? hit has to be done automatically.... so why can't some type of computer coding error be wrong on someones phone/account an only giving them 3g or less speeds?

Also is anyone getting terrible upload speeds like me? Before you say upload speeds do not matter unless you are uploading... consider that even when you download...a data packet has to be sent back (Uploaded) to say give me the next set of data packets for download... and the faster your upload is...you would see increased/faster downloads also. Think T1 vs aDSL at the same speed. It seems that our data is not "unlimited" and it is aDSL as well. Sorry i am rambling LOL anyway i would much rather get steady 3MB down and 1.5 up if it got better battery life. I did notice when i had my nexus one it would only kick in the high data when you went online like opening a web browser etc.. otherwise it throttled it down. (yes i saw it change by quickly going back to the settings are for status and watched it change back and forth) which was done in a fix that helped battery life... by increasing the idle time.

As far as switching 2g (edge) to 4G and never showing 3g..i read a few posts that said that LG was aware of this and would be fixed in the next patch update or/ Gingerbread update. So perhaps this is also effecting people phones as well.

Sorry if i strayed from topic... i just tried to paint a bigger picture about throttling speeds based on plan or phone type. Maybe it does not happen to everyone...but it could happen to some.
