[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
1) You are on XDA Developers, who believe in openness and the freedom to customize your device as you please.

2) You ask whether you will regret the swap from iOS to Android here, especially about a phone that is on demand by most and is Android.

I don't think there is a proper way to answer it, its like asking the Mac forums whether you would regret the switch to Windows.

I would suggest playing with an Android device to see whether you like it. I am switching from an iOS device to the SGS II as well and I dont think I will regret it. Especially now that Android Market place has almost the same apps and this device is a Dual Core 1GB Ram beast.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beWater:
exactly, you are on the sgs2 section of xda forum....

it really is a personal thing, my suggestion is make the change and have a taste of android OS, if you don't like it, wait for the iphone 5~:eek::eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonex1:
A plain swap? Hell yes. Even if you don't like it just sell it for like $750-$800 (convert it to your local currency just in case) when the iPhone 4 is just around $450-$500. You will make more money even if you don't like the phone.

I would love to find someone here in Toronto who is willing to just swap their SGS2 with my iPhone 4...it's going to suck having to cough up an extra $150-200 :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
I personally wouldnt regret the swap of an iphone for a Nokia 2110. So swapping an iphone for an SGS2, youll b fine!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unnddd:
I'm doing the same thing, and I doubt I'll have any regrets whatsoever. I'm gaining money and I'm switching to a better, newer phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
As above, go for it :)

Seriously, this phone is likely to be the first true iPhone killer, where it performs better than your iThing... Take a look at video reviews to get a flavour of it :) Some phrases that sprung to mind included "smoothest android phone yet" etc...

And if you really don't like it, you should be able to resell it at a better price, or indeed find someone who would trade the SGS II for an iP4 again... :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
lol i love that phrase....'iphone killer'... using that phrase is like saying the iphone is the number one phone and all the other phones being made are clawing at its feet, waiting for it to drop a crumb of food!

I will not submit to the notion that the iphone is in anyway better than my old Nokia 2110!

(This is just my opinion and may not reflect the opinion of millions of other who have made the iphone one of the best selling phones in the world)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimto25:
Coming from iphone 4 i love this sgs2 more, its not my first android device so i no what to expect and its a pleasure using this its super fast and enjoyable, ill be honest i would of got iphone 5 if that was released, i will still buy ip5 when its out but ill be keeping this beast still, every1 has there own taste but your getting so much more out of this than an ip4,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Neither will I, but I am just conveying what some of the fanbois are saying =D

Engadget are some of the biggest fanbois and they loved it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacksome:
One thing I have noticed is, the text display rendering, especially in browser is better on iPhone. The columns resize to readable fonts on double tapping in iOS. Android browser doesn't have such 'sophisticated' column resize etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinokirk:
+1

I was surprised by Igadgets write up!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboa1:
totally do the swap, even if you dont like it, the sgs2 is worth more $$$ than the iphone4, you just cannot lose :p

if you don't like it, sell it, buy a new iphone4, and get some beers with the rest of the money
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johny1969:
I already swapped my Iphone 4 for a Windows Phone 7 mobile some months ago so... :rolleyes:

[Nook Color General] rog152:
I have spent over an hour reading threads and searching, cannot find what I need.

I have CM7 on eMMC.

How do I get my sd card back to 8gb?

SOVLED
[Nook Color General] Larry94:
-My Computer-Right click on SD card Drive- Format - Card is now 8 Gigabytes :)
[Nook Color General] Zhousibo:
Had this last night but try formatting the SD card within your nook. I had an SD card with 1 gig image and was having the same problem.
[Nook Color General] Zhousibo:
Just to clarify. Use the format options within the nook. Sorry not in front of Nook at the moment.
[Nook Color General] rog152:
Tks, but that did not work
[Nook Color General] rog152:
I read that on CM7 on eMMC when doing that it formats the boot on the nook not the sd card, so did you do this or just think its the way to do it. THanks
[Nook Color General] Alakar:
Use this program, the free edition:

EASEUS Partition Manager

Windows can only see the first partition on your card. There are probably 4 partitions left from your emmc install. Plug your microSD card into your computer and launch EASEUS. You should see the driver letter assigned to your microSD card and 3 other unassigned partitions on your card. Right click on each of those partitions and delete them. Then either resize the primary partition Windows can see to the full size of the card, or delete that partition, then create a primary partition on the card that uses the full card size. You should now have your full capacity back.
[Nook Color General] Zhousibo:
No, I actually did the format using CM7 on my Nook Color. Bit hazy on the exact details, but if you look at the SD storage section in the Settings you should see the different SD cards and will show which to format. I had used my 8 gig SD card as a 120 meg SD boot with CWM so this SD card kept showing available space of about 120 meg (so I chose this to format).

'Should' be fairly obvious but can understand your hesitation.

FYI, I tried Easues Partition on my Windows 7 64 bit machine but did not recognize. Might be worth trying XP or Linux if you have but I would test the above option (Backup everything if concerned). I had just flashed CM7 to my nook so wasn't too bothered if I lost anything.

I can check when I get home.
[Nook Color General] stevemp:
Windows only sees one primary partition, so you have to use a partition manager to delete the other primary partitions. MiniTool Partition Wizard claims to work in all versions of Windows, I only have 32 bit Vista. Or you could use Linux in a virtual machine such as Vmware, it's free for home use.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpdiddy11:
The battery died one day, so I went to charge it, as usual. I check later to turn it back on but i notice the charging light is off and the phone won't turn on.

I went to Sprint and they gave me a new battery saying it was a bad bad battery. I go home and later the next day, the phone dies, AS USUAL, so I go to charge it again. And to my surprise, the light is now off and the phone doesn't turn on.

What next? I ordered a new battery online, got it shipped, put it in my phone and left it charging without ever turning it on. After 10 hours the battery is still not fully charged. I turn it on and it lasts about an hour before dying. AND IT WAS PLUGGED IN THE WHOLE TIME IT WAS ON!!

My EVO managed to kill TWO NEW BATTERIES within 24 hours, each. It can't be coincidence that I came across two bad batteries in a row. Is my phone to blame???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
Get it swapped not normal for it to do that. Even on stock rom with slim batt i can go all day with a batt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What rom/kernel are you currently running? Do you have any other chargers to try using? As has been posted, that is not normal for that to be happening. If it happens on all roms that you use (have you tried swapping roms yet?), and you're sure your charger isn't faulty (which is not uncommon at all), then I'd get the phone replaced. Just check those couple things first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB112:
Check your charger and cable for sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:

I'm thinking of rooting my G2 once I get a solid weekend to work on it. The gfree method looks like the safest, so I'm going to try that way. I was just wondering what are the benefits of flashing the Engineering HBOOT and getting S-OFF?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jronaldo8520:
Hugely disappointed in the absence of an iPad-like USB plug allowing cameras, drives, etc. to be accessed via the usb port, I thought for a moment and realized something. I know an alright amount when it comes to hardware vs. software questions and know that USB otg is not necessarily a hardware issue...the Motorola Xoom was released with Honeycomb and it supports USB Host. Now that very early versions of Honeycomb have been ported to the Galaxy Tab, theoretically shouldn't that mean it now supports USB Host mode (or at least in the near future)? Any thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated as I'm aware that there are many others waiting for this awesome capability for their tab!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jtech13:
With past versions of android already fully supporting USB host, I don't see why they don't other than they want you to buy the version with the largest storage space... Android should in theory already have the support as it is an update to the existing android not a new os completely... I feel mostly its just a dirty marketing scheme... (Note: My Archos 101 has a full sized USB port on it with full functionality...)

Ok so I apologize for my ignorance here but seeing as I have an EVO I'm not really used to the process of manually updating the epic for my wife...anyways a while ago I manually flashed the dk28 update on her phone since it wasn't official and she wanted A2SD ability...so now I see all these new builds so now I have just a few questions:

1. What is a good build or version to flash on her phone?

2. Can I flash from dk28 without having to Odin and wipe everything?

3. Do I have to root? (I don't really care but my wife is worried about voiding her contract and blah blah blah :D)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver03wrx:
You don't want dk28. Go in dev section find the prerooted ec05 by far the best and id suggest flashing acs syndicate rom its by far the best no issues .
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
For any custom ROM or kernel you have to have root. So if she wants to stay stock then you will need to Odin to DI18 or EB13 and OTA. There is only one stock tar file for EC05. It is probably in the ACS section of development since K0nane released it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
Incorrect. The EC05 stock TAR is fully stock. 100% unmodified full stock.

I am in the same boat. I was able to upgrade to DK28 when it was originally leaked months ago but I have a new pc without any of the drivers or tools needed so I need a good basics tutorial on how to flash.

[Samsung Mesmerize] mikef509:
First off I would like to say hi and thanks to everyone on here, this forum rocks! But I honestly feel my Mesmerize has been a bigger disappointment to me than my Behold I had with T-Mobile! I switched to US Cellular and this phone cause they have better coverage where I live, and I wanted a phone I could customize so i wouldn't have the same thing as everyone else :rolleyes: lol. I did the 2.2 update as soon as it released, toyed around with some of the other firmwares on here and what not before it was available, but started having the problem where my phone wouldn't notify me of incoming calls. So i used the files on here to go back to 2.1 using Odin and rooted for future possibilities, I receive every call now. But onto my questions lol, I was wondering if anyone on here has found a way to fix the incoming call problem on 2.2 that i had? How can I get voodoo onto my phone the way it is right now? I have tried every way described on here and through searching, keep finding dead links, phone will not update zip from sdcard on reboot, have tried numerous files that way! If you guys could post some links that would help me out with my problems, to files, and what not, that would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long winded post, just tired of searching everywhere and not getting anywhere, thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Honestly, there *is* a thread that covers what you're after; it's bde's How to Customize your Mesmerize thread found Here. I should probably get on him to update the "First get Stock Froyo on your phone" link, because it does have an old link last time I checked. That's about the only one that I know of, every other link works.

Above all, make sure to always wipe your cache (any "Wipe ..." option you can find, one is under Advanced, except for Battery Cache) once you get Clockwork Mod (CWM) Red Recovery installed before you flash a ROM. It really does make things flash better, fewer FCs, and so on. There are times when you can get away without it, but in that event it's best to assume things will be glitchy unless they aren't. From the brief information you gave, I'd suspect that's what happened to your phone.

Best advice anyone here will give you: Read read read. Following that, read some more. Some people can only learn by doing, sure, but become as intimately familiar with the processes and terms as you can.

I suspect I'll do this a lot, but check out the Glossary in my signature, and read through the whole post. It should give you all the little "this goes here, but doesn't work there" kinds of pointers you need, all in one place.

Good luck! Hopefully from here on out, you can really enjoy your Mesmerize, and welcome to the forums!
[Samsung Mesmerize] mikef509:
Hi, thanks for the reply. I do need to read through the glossary post you put up a little more thoroughly, just kinda glanced so far LOL. I also have checked out that link as well, but honestly I won't go back to froyo, not worth the missing calls to me when my phone is how I make a living at the moment. Just mostly interested in finding a lagfix and the voodoo sound for 2.1.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bigmike88:
Missing calls has never been a problem with froyo as far as I'm concerned. Uscc did realease their official version not long ago, getting 2.2 by that means should be flawless.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mikef509:
The US Cellular froyo upgrade is what i used and had all the problems with not being notified of my incoming calls, its a very well known problem from what I have found out by searching on google, took my 4-5 times of calling me before my phone rang, and he is with US Cellular as well
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
As a quick note, the missed calls thing is actually a Samsung issue that is known and is/was an issue on both 2.1 and 2.2 that is being worked on and a new firmware release is coming soon from what I have seen. I'm hoping to have more on that soon.
