[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
The more important use to my mind is that you can long press to an application, in my case that was quick settings. By losing that button you did not lose one thing, you lost two and the long press was user definable. Further because the space was lost there is a space on a home screen has to given over to that function. Smartphones just have so much real estate to play with. That is a big space there that easily supports four buttons, it isnt like they would be scrunched up and hard to hit with certainty. In my mind this is the triumph of form over function and I'm about what a phone can do. Anyone that wants less buttons either because of the aesthetic or because four buttons is just to overwhelming for them can always pick something up from apple.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budske:
what should i do??

which one i should keep?

What i like on the SGS2:

- Unlocked Bootloader (oficial CM7 coming)

- Camera

- the front button

What i dont like:

- i feel like im going to break it

- No Tegra

What i like on the Atrix:

- Well made and nice looking

- the screen is great

- Tegra 2

- it have a lot of potential

What i dont like:

- the potential is f$%& by the locked bootloader

- the power/wake up button

- camera

- Motoblur

- Random reboots

i know that a lot of things can be fixed, and im not a big gamer, but the tegra2 optimized games looks great, and the biggest advantage of the SGS2 is the unlocked bootloader
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budske:
i have the SGS2 and tryying to root it and put a better rom, dont know how... plese helo xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigaro78:
TL;DR.

I love my SGS2 so much I gave it a nickname and I talk to it.

Nuff said :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPRobber:
The only things I don't like are the kinda flimsy home button and the missing camera button. I love everything else about it.

Oh, and there is some banding, but it's not too bad.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
You can have tegra games also on the galaxy s2 with chainfire 3d
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I really like mine. For me the highlights are THAT screen (despite some complaining about colour banding), the smoothness of operation under even demanding use, the camera quality, how customisable it is (but that is true of all android I guess), the onboard storage (which DOES perform faster than SD cards) and the light weight of the thing.

The slight downers for me are the not amazing battery life (but then its a phone with huge screen and dual core, and I came from iphone 4 so not unexpected), the slight lack of volume from the headphone output, and the fact music pauses when taking photos.

Buy a Galaxy S2 if you're a bit of tweaker, or techy, and highly value an excellent, large screen and performance over everything else. IMO.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forsh:
I'm really happy with this phone and i've had none of the problems people have mentioned.

Wifi is as good as any other smartphones i've owned.

GPS gets a quick lock, even indoors. Don't use it too often so its hard to rate, but its been quick and responsive any time i've used it.

Screen is beautiful and clear.

Battery - If i'm busy and don't use the phone very much, I get 18 hours. Thats with hourly FB+Gmail updates. Music drains the battery much less than my HD2 did, but is still a significant drain.

The biggest drains are games, videos and 2/3G internet. Games absolutely KILL this thing's battery. ~5% every ten minutes. 2/3G internet browsing uses about 3% every 10 minutes.

On a normal working day with about an hour of music playing. A few texts and calls. About an hour of internet browsing, 30 mins of game playing. Hourly FB+Gmail updates. At the end of the day I have ~30% battery.

Thanks everyone for you're help, I juste ordered from expensys, total prices after tax and all the shipping fee is 812$. the phone it self costed 725$ canadian because the can$ wort more then the usa$ now. Kinda happy, but I feel that it expensive. and I also found the 25$ discount , it helped.

Now i have to wait for it, he said I should receive closer to the end of the month, they will recevie them next week and 2-5days shipping.

I also found this phone on mobilecity but it out of stuck and they said they will get it by the end of the month. So i will be saving 15-20$. Not a big differance.

I was looking first to see if this phone is good and looking at this forum, it amazing. No issue what so ever and compaire to my current galaxy captivate, the battery life is 500% better. FU** galaxy captivate or s1, same thing.

Hope to get it next week but thats hoping.... :)

Hoping someone can help me in time for the mavs/thunder game. I got the app and clicked the setup link in the email they sent me. Signed into my account and selected my provider and everything. Then got redirected to time warner, signed in there to link my account and everything went perfect. I got a pop saying it was done. Then I logged into the app. After I signed in, it said you have access to video. However, whenever I go to play anything, it says subscriber is not found. I sent feedback to espn through the app, but haven't heard anything back and I figured someone else here might have run into the same problem. Also I have adobe air and the latest version of flash player installed.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorocker:
So i came across this post with the link to the beta

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/1...erpro-beta-includes-app-drawer-icon-skinning/

It installed fine and I see the option in the menu for themes. Now I've never used ADW for more then a couple minutes, but maybe someone who does knows where the themes you download go? I got a tron theme for adw but I tried putting it in the root folder of the phone but launcherpro isnt detecting it. Is anyone else running the beta and running adw themes on it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markkal123:
don't know if this helps you. i have noticed that when i transfer any files to be used in launcher i need to do a power off/on cycle of the phone in order for launcher to acknowledge the newly transferred files. not sure why. nevertheless that's what helped me.

perhaps some cache cleaning might help or i might stll be missing something more simple.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shieze:
I upgraded to the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 radio (recommended radio for Leedroid 3.0.x. I am using Leedroid 3.0.6 2nd release. I did not have this issue before the radio / ROM change.

My problem is that my phone refuses to connect to my corporate wireless about 90% of the time. It will say connecting then scanning then connecting, etc. When I am in the office I need to disable Wifi or my battery gets used up very quickly. I have tried now at 2 different office locations with the same wireless settings.

I am able to use my wireless at home without a problem and at other locations as well.

Has anyone else had similar issues? Should I try changing the radio again and if so what radio is recommended.

Thanks,

i just ordered 2 of these. i like the idea plus they are solar and charge all my gadgets on top of my phone. and shipping from china is 22 for dhl but they are worth it and are the size or smaller than our phone! holds almost twice the charge with multiple voltages including 3.7v which is ours.

Total was around $52 after shipping but just sell one or keep the other for twice as much! ill repost this link in thread.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] connectya:
It is really a wonderful item, actually this solar charged Product not the advanced idea now, China offers such kind of things since long before. I have bought a solar mobile power rechargeable battery pack for my iPhone 3 since last year, which cost about $20, and now Pickegg sold at the price of $11.14, the prices are much softer at present. There are many other large online stores like Pickegg offers such kind of things, however, maybe no better price than Pickegg.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
also the reason i got this one was because of the capacity, almost twice the capacity of the G2x's battery compared to similar priced ones which were all less that 1500ma. in terms of price verses capacity/functionality this was the best i could find. plus it fits in my pocket (looks like the size of the G2x).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
Solar battery charger

alright. i got the solar battery charger and on the box it says voltages above as stated. but the device has switches for output in 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 9v800ma voltage options and so does its little 2 page manual. so appears to be advertised incorrectly, though all places ive seen this exact item the specs are all listed this way. exact picture and everything.

now it also says 5.5v has the widest range of compatibility (found this statement on another site for same device.) The box says like this (EXACT picture of this device but just in silver) --> " Output Voltage: 3.7v 4.2v, 5.5v, 9v, generally 5.5v, multiplicate output ports optionable"

Our g2x stock charger is 4.8v and any usb is 5.0v which. our stock batteries say 3.7v them. research said that 3.7v charge to 4.2v generally as "top off" surface charge which drains quickly down to 3.8v. now i have an adapter for LG phones (micro usb) that is from my multi charger kit i bought separate, of which has the exact same adapters as this battery charger came with, just had an extra for LG. they looks so similar that i feel safe assuming they came from the same factory.

now all that said, i've read the too high of voltage will ruin battery or shorten life. i know 4.5v will work but will charge slower than stock charger and usb. so my question is will 5.5v be ok to charge the G2x?

these have to be the same device. but both boxes had this. and both devices were different than box and online. but the picture on the box is literally the same device. not a single difference. i need some input. i pretty positive 5.5v will work. perhaps 5.5v has those options and 4.5,6.5,9v800ma are extras? or (crazy) this thing has a 1v difference from here and china. 4 options, all but 9v are around 1v difference?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Well, with voltages you generally have what... 10% play each way? Question is 10% from 4.8 or 5.0? Personally, I would stick with the 4.5.

And the 5.5 might not even charge faster because a big factor in charging time is current which is rated 200 mA less than the wall charger. Not an EE major. Any EE's out there?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RevenG:
I got a Solio Classic iGo. It is solid and is perfect for emergencies. Especially since I go camping alot. haha

+1 for Catch

Hello,

I don't know about task list/todo functionality (don't think it has that) but I really like Catch. Is an awesome notes application, and I've used the same account over an iphone and two android phones (and kept the same persistent notes all the way through, has been great!). As well, it has decent browser access, so you can access/create/edit notes on your pc. You can attach pictures to notes as well in the free version. All notes will be stored on both your phone and on catch servers, thus no worries regarding losing them. (If you work for the CIA, I wouldn't use Catch to store state secrets, but don't think the average user needs to worry :) )

As the base version is free, I'd definitely check it out! Easy for yourself and your girlfriend to sign in to the same catch account, then you share the same notes :)
