+ great screen, amazing screen

+ fast, really fast

+ eats through videos on stock player my old LEO wouldn't play using any media players.

+ slim and lite

+gorilla glass

+ Camera is good I dont care what anyone else says - coming from a LEO.

- unlikely to get supported cm7

- some wifi teething problems (should get fixed)

- probably wont get as dev interest as other CM7 support phones

- processor not supported in some games - see other posts regarding this

- no direct HDMI output (needs an adapter which wont be with us until june)

I regard other issues as being minor and just issues of personal preference. It should also be noticed that the fact that there are more negatives than positives in my list means nothing, I love this phone, best I have had and glad I went for this rather than a tegra based platform as video (movies) performance on tegra is poor.

just picked one up yesterday at CPW for £500. in love with it. infact the money i have towards the desire s , is going towards another sgs 2! i love it that much!

only con though is the plastic quality is so bad! i'm not joking the phone feels like a toy!
[Galaxy S II General] dinan:
I'm sorry but the iPhone sucks when it's not jailbroken. Even when you do jailbreak it, there's a LOT of things missing compared to even stock Android. But if it's "great out of the box" then why don't you stick with it since it satisfies your needs? There's quite a bit of people having problems with their iPhone as well, and trust me you hear about it a lot because everyone and their mother gets one regardless of whether or not they know how to use one (or any cell phone). Every cell phone will have problems, good luck finding the perfect one.
[Galaxy S II General] :
No need to change a phone if you are happy with it. Nothing is perfect. Why not simply use your iphone4 instead of buying a GS2? I am sure nobody can force you.
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Cheap build quality. feels like a toy. i could easily crush it lol... it's so damn light aswell, i feel i could lose it easily aswell!
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
+1 jailbreak messes your iphone/ ipod up. i was forced to restore my ipod last week, messing around with winterboard. it kills your battery too. just face it (apple fanboys) this gs2 kicks the iphone's ass!
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Why won't we get CM7 cupport??
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
+ 1 this guy talks sense
[Galaxy S II General] dwj:
My thoughts on my new SG2 if it's of any interest to anyone about to buy.

I think people are put off about the build quality just because its so light. Its certainly solid even though its so light,and creaks & flexes less than my old desire for example.

Screen is great as everyone says although I find the auto sensor setting quite dim & fluctuates up and down quite annoyingly.

Wifi I find to be a little poor. More than a few feet away from my router the signal is not great and speeds are very slow on speedtest.net compared to my pc on same router.

The phone is superfast as everyone says although I did have a play on HTC Incredible S and that was also superfast on single core too.

So just a couple of niggles on an otherwise excellent handset and, for a phone, the camera is excellent too.

[XPERIA X10 General] Mayazcherquoi:
Fixing your X10 GPS

​

Okay, so, I was in the following thread and like the original poster, experienced incredibly horrid and/or slow GPS positioning. This never occurred to myself and other users when using the original Sony Ericsson 2.1 firmware.

Then people started bringing up this gps.conf file and changing NTP servers to allow for a more precise time and thus a more accurate and quicker positioning of your device via the use of the GPS satellites. So, I went along and fiddled around by modifying the contents of that file with local (Oceanic) NTP servers to no avail.

I needed a working GPS a couple of days later (yesterday, as a matter of fact) and then a thought crossed my mind: "If it was working pretty darn good with the official 2.1 firmware, and not the 2.2 firmware... then how about I'll just test to see if the 2.1 gps.conf file works with the 2.2 firmware...", and voila! It did. :)

So without further ado, I present you all with how to get a working GPS on your Xperia X10 device :)

This should work on all 2.2.x (and possibly 2.3.x) devices.

Requirements:

An Xperia X10

Rooted

Instructions:

Copy the following code into a new file (using Microsoft Notepad, or another plain-text editing variant), and save it as "gps.conf" onto your desktop.

NTP_SERVER=xtra1.gpsonextra.net
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

# DEBUG LEVELS: 0 - none, 1 - Error, 2 - Warning, 3 - Info
# 4 - Debug, 5 - Verbose
DEBUG_LEVEL = 3

# Intermediate position report, 1=enable, 0=disable
INTERMEDIATE_POS=0

# Accuracy threshold for intermediate positions
# less accurate positions are ignored, 0 for passing all positions
# ACCURACY_THRES=5000

################################
##### AGPS server settings #####
################################

# FOR SUPL SUPPORT, set the following
SUPL_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com
SUPL_PORT=7275

# FOR C2K PDE SUPPORT, set the following
# C2K_HOST=c2k.pde.com or IP
# C2K_PORT=1234

################################
# EXTRA SETTINGS
################################

# Wiper (wifi positioning), 1=enable, 0=disable
ENABLE_WIPER=0

Attach your X10 device and copy that file over to your SD card followed by an unmount.

Within Root Explorer or another folder/file browser, copy the gps.conf file.

Navigate to /system/etc and then activate the paste command to paste and hence replace the existing file (make a backup if necessary).

Restart your GPS and test with your Google Maps application. If necessary, restart your device.

This is the exact method it took to get my GPS working (when it was practically s**t-all beforehand), so please post back if it had or hadn't worked.

Thanks :)

any other fix

i was thinking on editting the config you give by adding my country and America ntp.org gps

you think it would work?:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
Does GPS require internet connection? I used wifi for GPS, when I was on the bus, I found that my location was moving with sync on the road I was on.

I don't think I had any problem with that though?
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Loading the maps needs internet

Finding the location is the job of gps
[XPERIA X10 General] lyteo:
But this does need internet connection to apply AGPS fix? Since servers for it are internet sites?

[General Questions and Answers] adamantiumpimp:
So, I'm not sure if I'm in the right place here (literally just activated my xda account). I want to customize some icons for a few apps, but not just the app icon. The main app I am concerned with is called SystemPanel Task Manager. It has some widget icons to choose from for an "End All" widget. I want to edit the image files (probably .png's), but I can't find the data on my SD card. Any hints as to where I can find these files?
[General Questions and Answers] frosty_ice:
You have to replace the pngs in the apk files (Zip packages that contain Android applications).

System applications are located in /system/app/ and non-systems apps in /data/app/

As long as you only want to change images, you can just pull them from the apk file and push them back in using 7zip or the like, but if you want to change xml or code, you would have to decompile the apk.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konradc:
Hello

sorry for my english

I have a few questions before buying Streak

1-How long will you stand up battery

2-What quality headphones are included in the streak

3 - Does anyone has a psp and psp can compare the weight and the streak

4-How LCD visibility in the sun

I would buy the LG G2X with two cores, but I like the streak is 5 "

I fear for support from Dell for the streak, that streak is no longer supported by Dell

I talked to dell support by chat, I was assured that Android 2.3 will come to him, it might not be so bad

Thank you for your help
[Galaxy S II General] marvi0:
OK got my galaxy however got some concerns regarding the constant network switching from H to 3g. I know am in a area of very good network coverage so that is not the issue but I have noticed my phone keeps switching between the H and 3g. It seems to change to H when the a connection is required for instance now as am typing its on 3g, however when a data connection is required it then changes to H, however as am typing it sometimes just switches to H even though am not using the data connection. I can probably see the logic here for the phone to switch to H when a data connection is needed but am thinking all this constant switching must somehow impact on the battery. Av, always used the app by Philip Mangelow the network app, to set the phone to gsm auto prl, which apparently is the best setting to use as it stops the radio from constantly searching for the network, however the same app, won't work on galaxy. Is their any code or tweek required to enable gsm auto prl.?
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Yup, this happens on all phones I have( DHD, Nexus S, SGS2).

It will show H or H+ (if you have HSPA+ coverage ) when its actually downloading /uploading data. There was an article on the web that explained why its done. I will search for it again as I didnt bookmark it. But this actually increases the standby time of the phone and reduces battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] marvi0:
Cheers matey looking forward to seeing that article cause have used quiet and few android phones and never had this before, and if it's good for battery then fine but would still prefer to set that gsm auto prl setting so if anyone has any suggestions please.
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
Exact same problem here! the strange thing is my SGS1 was always on H.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
getting same, mine goes on 3g then changes to H, I think this is draining my battery, i full charged phone overnight and took it of this morning on 100% i went on XDA app for about 20 mins and i used 6% battery life just using this and nothing else. that to me seems like a huge drain
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
I set a toggle switch to turn off data when not needed? This may help in battery life, but im not sure why it keeps witching from H to 3g?
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
I suppose its not a big deal i guess, it doesnt seen to affect my battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] marvi0:
ok, surely this cannot be good for the battery, i have noticed, whenever, i unlock my phone, it shows H high speed, but when unlocked it goes into 3g. Surely, the phone is supposed to be on 3G when screen of the H, when i turn screen on to use it?.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buskanam:
I am a die hard WM user - never used any other OS. Was awaiting WP7 for months!

It is a dumb blonde! Pretty, but useless.

1. Keyboard is good, but no option to longpress for numbers

2. Phone dialler - no option to dial name of contact on phone dialler

3. Can't search calendar for specific appointments

4. Office hub is useless - can't organize in folder, ending up with loooong list of documents.

5. Word mobile is hopeless for formatting compared to WM6.5

6. Adobe PDF documents - can't be organized in folders. Can't even rename files

7. No video calling

8. The stupidest thing: Can't transfer files from PC to phone. What the ^$%^$ !

I have to go to Dropbox every time!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesAllen:
6.5

Stay with a WM 6.5 device. I kept my FUZE but after some time with the Focus would NEVER use it or any other WM device again. I felt a lot like you do at first, but that quickly wore off the more I used WP7. If you already bought it and feel the way you do, sell it and get something else. I used to see a lot of rants like this months ago but see almost no posts like yours recently. I think you should have posted this months ago, you might have found some allies, but not today.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TIGGAH:
Well said. I was going to say pretty much the same thing. I struggled going from WM to WP at first (I still miss swype dearly) but after a few days of WP7 I could never go back despite some shortcomings.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesAllen:
Goodbye 6.5

The things I thought I could not live without in WM6.5 have turned out to be silly. I don't know why I felt that way. Anyway, many apps I used on 6.5 are now available on WP7, and more coming daily. The news of the potential features in Mango take away many if not most of my concerns.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CdTDroiD:
I think we need to remember that WP7 is very young still, iOS didn't have copy and paste also when it came out... Give it a year or so I'm sure WP7 will be up there.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buskanam:
My grouse is that WM 6.5 had so many features that have been stripped down to the point that WP7 is inconvenient. Why strip down Office to a bare minimum? Why remove the smart dialler in the phone? Why remove the long press for numbers in the keyboard? Why no USB functionality? Moreover, there are inconsistencies within WP7 itself. Why no voice GPS? E.g., why no search option in calendar? Why no zune support for synching data files? Why no wifi tethering?

I am not comparing WP7 to other OS. I am comparing it with Microsoft's own previous product. 6.5 to 7 is meant to be an upgrade, but it is actually a downgrade.

Why deliver a stripped down product when the previous product (6.5) had all these? And now, they have to catch up with "updates" with all the attendant bad publicity, and poor sales.

They had 3 years to get it right. They had at least 8 months in the beta testing when people clamored for copy-paste.

Stupid clowns.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enjoythemusic:
Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed.

That is a biggie, agreed. And let us not forget custom ring tones (sure you can sideload, but really MS screwed the pooch here).

In some important ways it is a downgrade, in other ways it is an upgrade. All in all WP7 may be better due to newer/faster hardware, yet the FAIL of lackluster Bluetooth integration, no rSAP, no custom ring tones, no way to sync files easily, no wireless tethering, etc, etc and yes etc is really a let down. MS always seem to go three steps forward and two steps back, then perhaps release ONE of the two 'lost' steps like it is a huge improvement and technology advancement. If MS does not get their act together and release what many consider normal features, the Android market will leave MS in the dust.

MS can do much better, so what is keeping them from reaching some simple goals every other major phone OS has been doing for many years (including MS' 6.x)? THAT is the real question.

I think the worst thing is the wifi sleep issue that no one can seem to find a fix for. I bought one a week ago and its been sitting in the box while I use my desire. I just can't use it properly without having the option to leave wifi on
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynxinteractive:
I agree 100%. This issue and another big Wi-Fi issue are the bane of my existence on WP7. Anyone have trouble connecting to different Wi-Fi networks? This is by far the biggest nuisance I deal with. What I mean by this is, for example: I am at work all day connected to the office Wi-Fi. I come home and my Quantum refuses to connect to my home network. It tries to connect for about 15 seconds or so, then eventually gives up. The only way to get it behaving properly is to reboot the phone. Turning Wi-Fi off then back on, disassociating with all remembered networks, etc. all do nothing. Don't know if this is unique to me because there is just something specific about the networks I am connecting to that creates "The Perfect Storm" and throws the Wi-Fi off, or if this is a widespread problem. Either way, I can't wait until it is resolved.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulrgod:
I don't get this issue at all mate, i pretty much do the same - connect to a network at work, then go home, it automatically connects fine for me at either location. I also connect to Wifi networks at my parents and GF's mum's and it connects flawlessly to either one without any hassle.

Though i must admit, the ability to keep wireless on even when the phone goes to sleep is a must! It will however stay on if you plug the phone into its charger, though not always convenient.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buffalosolja42:
I don't get this issue either except on my nook and I think my wireless router @ that location is the issue (pretty sure of it). The WPA only a select few ip addresses on certain mac addresses for some reason so if the address is taken by another device it doesn't connect I thought my router was smart guess I was wrong but once I forget the network and then reapply the security settings it connects, I have no problem with my other router.

After purchasing an Acer Iconia a500 , I realized that it isnt just WP7 users who whine and complain about the latest upgrades , its tech wide ! I mean some of the gripes you have are laudible ,but in the long run 6.5 is done , so if you long for that experience it wont last , sure theres still some people using Windows 98 , XP , but at some point it becomes so outdated it becomes useless, you will find wm 6.5 fits this category , sometimes you have to go back to go forward and that is the case with WP7 !

Trust me the "copy paste" function is useless , I havent even used it yet (or missed not having it) , As I said I have a tablet with Honeycomb on it , its really irratating hearing all the babies crying about updates , the damn OS has been out for a month and these crybabies are whining "it doesnt do this ,it doesnt do that" , the thing is like most devices that are new it will not have certain things right off the bat , yes the device can be rooted a plus , but somethings cant be changed yet , just like the missing api's wp7 , that stuff will come , theres so many talented people in XDA , JUST RELAX AND ENJOY THE RIDE!,

" OFFICE HUB"

is a joke

microsoft word is such a pain to use that formatting within the document is impossible!!

there is no way to save formatting. so If I need to write everything in red. I have to hit format every single time and then select an option. that along with the keyboard taking up the entire length of the document.

BLEH!

adobe reader is the slowest pdf viewer ive ever used!!! and i remember using an 8125 and reading pdfs on it..

The wifi issues are a pain!! they are so the carrier can force us to use there data plan. I want to use WIFI why did i buy the phone with wifi capabilities if it wont even stay on!!

The contacts are again a pain to search through.

there is no way to delete lines within a conversation..

Or Deleting multiple text messages.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] professorwol:
this has nothing to do with XDA.....

this has to do with Microsoft developing a poor operating software for my 499.99$ phone. This is a rant about the missing features that are obvious to a smart phone and you are saying relaxing dont worry.. this is what i purchased the phone for and it is severely lacking in a lot of areas.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMG-UK:
:D I find it pretty funny people moaning about the lack of features WP7 has and how great Android and IOS are.

I had Android from the very start when hardly anyone knew what it was and i had that brick of a phone (although i quite liked it lol) called the G1.

Android was released on 1.0 software however i thought it was a practical joke no lie the battery would last 5 hours if you was lucky and the phone would heat up like a microwave oven besides the various other bugs etc including freezing up completely. It took Google 5 updates until we got the first named update "Cupcake" 1.5 before android was even half usable and had copy & paste etc. And to be honest it should of started on 1.5 so my G1 only got 1 decent update to 1.6.

Its the same with all the other android phones i have had the SE X10 did go from 1.6 to 2.3 only because legions of p*ssed off people including myself moaned at sony like there was no tomorrow when they said it would only get 2.1 (i think).

Etc Etc the point it Android is way too fragmented and buying a Android phone is like entering a lottery with regards to updates and added features etc.

Same with Apple it took them at least a year to add even copy & paste not too mention all the other stuff that was missing like MMS & Adobe Flash (ah yeah still ain't got that one).

Microsoft have given us a much better OS than both Google or Apple right off the bat and the amount of added features Mango is bringing is pretty amazing adding more stuff than 1 or 2 major android updates and even getting so things in the first year of WP7 that iPhone hasn't got after 5 years.
