[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonutGrunt:
So I installed the newest radios from the dev forum using the PG06IMG.zip.

Well now my phone wont boot because I need to restore, but I can't get into recovery because the bootloader always asks if I want to install PG06IMG.zip

What is the ADB Pull command to remove the file?

Also, when can I use ADB pull? When my phone is stuck at the bootscreen or the bootloader?

I do the following

cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools

then >adb

then I do

adb pull /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

keeps saying remote object "file" does not exist

what's the correct process of removing this file?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonutGrunt:
nevermind, I figured it out by just booting directory to recovery from command prompt

adb shell boot recovery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RacerX1911:
So Im debating on buying the Galaxy S2 or the Atrix. Iv been a long time Galaxy S user (i9000 since the beginning) and as much as a disaster it was, I still held off and kept with it.

The thing I like about Atrix is gps works, super fast, (I never use GPS except for weather and I CANT see weather on my SGS cuz my gps doesnt work :( ) size of it, speed,

-Bad things are moto blur im not a fan of, bootloader locked (I have never flashed roms on my galaxy s, but iv done a ton of research and will want to in the future), no gingerbread

The things I like about SGS2 are unlocked BL (just like above), screen looks a bit nicer then motos. Gingerbread.

This I dont like - size is pretty big, and im afraid im going to be settling just like I did with the SGS

My buddy just bought the SG2 and says the wifi sucks, battery sucks, and the GPS still isent the greatest.

Now my question is, is this just a bad batch like the first galaxy S's? or is this going to be the future of the SGS2? To be honest Samsung left a bad taste in my mouth after my SGS
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
Wifi seems to have some compatability issues with certain routers and there is a bug for some people with battery drainage. So, as I see it, not the end of the world, but annoying for those affected.

GPS works fine for me at least.

Thanks for some of the comments guys, I know its hard to be un bias but im just trying to watch out for bad apples. The SGS was my first Android phone and it was great... for a while. I even went back to my Iphone cuz of the problems on my SGS (And im sooo anti Apple lol) and not to mention the 4 SGS's I had to exchange, what a nasty time in my life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nameless21:
Same here. no problems at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aonanodad:
Sounds like a troll. The wifi is very fast, with great reception. The GPS takes a reading in seconds and is extremely accurate, and the SGS2 runs all day on a charge - unlike my last phone, I don't need a way to charge this phone at work. Beyond that, it is fast to use, has a camera good enough so that now, I have a usable camera with me wherever I go, it plays games and movies to entertain the kids when needed, gives me full access to the Internet everywhere I go and it has a reasonably good connection to all communications outlets - social networking, IM, and email. Can any of these functions be improved? Sure, but the overall package is probably as good as any phone on the market and better than best-sellers like the iPhone 4. At the moment there is no better phone on the market, and this phone will hopefully remain useful for much longer than the HTC Touch Pro2 that it replaced.​

I currently own both the Atrix & Galaxy S 2. I'm currently trying to sell the Atrix. My Galaxy S2 is the best device I ever owned. If I had a 12 year old child, I would give my Atrix to them.....IT IS A PIECE OF OVERRATED CRAP!!!!!

Get the SGS2, I couldn't be happier!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunkumars:
Atrix, don't even think about it. I feel its one of the useless phone out there. I used it for some time. Screen is really awful. I hate to compare this with SGS1. SGS 2 is way up in the sky.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt310:
Quite simply because Samsung's quality control is terrible. I've had four Galaxy S Captivates and they've all had issues to varying degrees. I'm seeing the same issues with the SGS II as I did with the original: blotchy screens, yellow banding, and GPS issues. I attribute the complaints of poor battery life due to user interaction (read: constantly playing and running benchmarks) so that's more of a wash to me. But the hardware quality control seems to be right next to the original SGS: in the gutter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen123:
Battery life is pretty good, 100% at 8am this morning & its now 10pm at 68%. Used for about 20 mins of calls, a bit of web surfing, downloaded a few apps & some general fiddling about.

I've had no problems with GPS. Initial fix took no more than a couple of minutes & it has performed like a champ.

The wifi though does seem to be quite weak.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
I don't care if you get the sgs2 or not but the atrix is a piece of ****. It can't function right without motoblur.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmd512:
Pretty tired of these "doomsday" posts with no general processing of the overall picture. This phone is fantastic, even with the minor bugs. This device makes the SGS feel like a beta prototype that should have never even been released.

Screen is gorgeous, web browser NEVER lags even when zooming/panning with flash on screen, GPS/Navigation is flawless, everything is just blazing fast with no hint of slowdown. So, if you think your last-gen Atrix is a keeper, by all means, keep using it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyydrr:
I couldn't agree more. The Atrix had a LOT of potential but sadly was bogged down by a piss-poor implementation by Motorola. The big thing to note is: even though the SGS2 has superior hardware, it's not superior by much. Even this being the case, the SGS2's performance completely trounces that of the Atrix simply because of the optimization done by Samsung. I had one and ended up selling it because it just didn't feel like a next-gen phone to me and couldn't be happier w/ my Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
For me battery is great, screen fantastic, call quality spot on. in three weeks, no lag or crashing. Camera is superb, external speaker great. 2 & 3G sensitivity perfectly fine. 1080p video recording amazing. ummm...just trying to think of something negative..

I'll have to come back to you on that one..........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drae52:
OP:

Many of the problems commonly found in the SGS1 can be cured with a ROM change. Darky's has been great for the GF; wicked good battery life (2 days), FAST and GPS even works!

The update fiasco that was the Galaxy S1 was (imho) due to the US carriers. The GF purchased her SGS1 from Telus Early Jan, and I installed Froyo that night through KIES.

Basically what I'm getting at is the SGS got a bad rap in the states, but I honestly don't believe the majority of the blame lies with the manufacturer in regards to the update issue. The GPS was fixable, but I have a feeling it wasn't fixed due to the difficulty encountered in updating the US versions of the SGS.

In regards to the Atrix, I am biased when it comes to Motorola as I owned a Milestone (non US, non CDMA Droid1). Now that device is a PITA as the bootloader is encrypted and Motorola has truly been atrocious with the updates. I would never buy an encrypted device after that experience, as I can't really update my phone on my own.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattWPBS:
Moved to it from a Desire running Ginger Villain. Phone's great, screen's great, no problems with WiFi or GPS.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixie77:
Just upgraded from the SGS1 to the SGS2, it's sooooo much faster. My GPS locks indoors WITHOUT AGPS (insight of a window maybe 8ft away), I like TW4 and the new apps, a good camera and the build quality is better than the SGS1 but..... it took me a while to get used to the new screen, at first I found the contrast a little odd and the audio is not as good as the SGS1 (with Voodoo) and may never be.

Overall though a great phone and a good upgrade to the SGS1, I think this phone will do well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aweb:
Had the GS1, only problems with it. Since I've got this one, no problems at all. Frankly, the only issues are reallyyy minor and the phone's speed makes up for it ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmonkey:
Wow, troll really is the buzz word round here at the mo. Personally I think the op is asking a good, plain n simple question. There are hundreds of threads about issues people are experiencing most of which leave you wondering as to how good the phone is. People reporting bugs that 50% say they also have but 50% don't. As someone who is going to be upgrading and will likely have to live with the phone I choose for the next 2 years (no daddy wont buy me a new one n no I can't spend all my money on a new one as I don't live rent free in mummys house) it would therefore be really nice to get a bit of clarity. Sure, no phones perfect but most threads are people complaining, not saying what is good about it.

I got a desire s on contract by 3 but after 5 days it started to reboot itself so i sent it back and asked if i could have the sgs 2 they agreed. Best move i made this phone destroys the disire s i had some troubles when i flashed ke2 with it getting hot and battery drain but now im on kdd its awsome. I love it. A big plus with this phone its free no locks holding it bk unlike htc only way into those at the min is xtc clip.this is my first ever samsung phone and im glad i got it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
No, it simply isn't. Unless your expectation is low and experience of other devices to compare it to is limited.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Compared it to my Ipad 2 and they both get the same speed, only the SGSII shows fewer bars.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aonanodad:
Yes, maybe my expectation is low, I am comparing it to laptop computers and a PS2 around my house. In my bedroom, where the PS2 barely gets 10 mBaud, the SGS2 gets 50-60mBaud, and it is about 20 feet farther away from the Wireless-N router. There are two walls between my bedroom and where the router is. When Comcast is working well, the SGS2 gets 20mBaud download and 10mBaud upload from the Internet! It easily matches the wi-fi performance of my Sony VAIO laptop.

Also, surprisingly, the SGS2 easily identified and connected to the WPA2 access point in my house. If it wasn't for the fact that I have an iPad (that actually does have lousy wi-fi reception), I could turn off the WPA access point entirely.

So far, I haven't had any problem connecting to public access points at Starbuckses and Subways either.

Maybe you have one of the quality control problems that some people mention in this thread?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPRobber:
WiFi and battery are worse than on my ****ty old Spica. I can live with it though. If the WiFi reception sucks I just use 3G which is nearly the same speed and to keep the battery charged I just plug it into my notebook whenever I'm using it (the notebook). GPS is awesome by the way.

A colleague bought the S2 too and he has the same battery problems I have, so it's not just a bad model.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmonkey:
This is the kind of post we need a 'like' button for :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aonanodad:
Ah - if you are just looking at the bars, you cannot get a very good indication of your actual wi-fi or phone signal strength. Apple is notorious for showing all the bars even for a weak signal, just to give their customers the impression that it has strong reception. There is no standard for number of bars to signal strength, and I personally prefer the way that Samsung does signal strength metering, because it is more useful.

I use XtremeLabs speedtest for wi-fi testing.

This makes me wonder if it really is a quality control problem at all, or if people are just judging by the number of bars shown for signal strength...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
No, I don't think so. Like I said, I think it's just a case of expectations when it comes to new flagship devices. My wifi speed is fine, but in my perception in comparison to my HTC Leo the reception isn't. Using wifi analyzer shows a difference of -20db when side by side.

And it's amazing the amount of people on this forum alone who have the same problem, namely a fast reduction in signal strength when moving away from the connecting router. Especially in comparison to other devices like I said.

You also seem to be confusing download and upload rate with signal strength. While a low signal strength will result in a slower download it's no way of measuring it accurately. Download wifi analyzer.

Hey, guys! Can you answer just one question please?

I live in Brazil (and I don´t speak english very well... lol) and we still don't know when Samsung is going to release Galaxy S II here.

I got a Galaxy S - I9000B, which means that, if I want to have pt-BR on my phone, I have to wait a long time until Samsung (or a developer) releases a new firmware specific to I9000B (more locale doesnt do the work properly).

For me, having pt-BR is kind of essential, specially because of voice search and navigation.

Well, I think Samsung is not going to release differents models os Galaxy S II, right? The same model for all the countries (I hope so)! So I´m thinking of buying a Galaxy S II (I might have some friends who are going to the Europe on the next weeks), but I want to know if it has a native pt-BR support.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
You shouldn't assume one person counts for everyone. Check out the thread on this issue, everyone is measuring using the actual signal with wifi analyser, not the bars which are partly irrelevant.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob_me:
SGS was a disaster? It was the most sucessfull android phone ever wasnt it?

I think some people just have rotten luck with phones. Cause im literally having none of the issues people are reporting on. And im not just saying that because im 'stubborn' and 'not willing to accept something i spent £500 on might not be very good', im just honestly not having any issues at all. No software problems, no AndroidOS thing and my battery life is awesome. 32 hours from one charge is pretty good for a smartphone.

I would put the problems some people are having down to a dodgy batch of phones or possibly just ham-fistedness on the users part.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
The only issue I can pretty much guarantee you have is the wifi strength one, as it is a model-wide problem (reviews have pointed it out too for example). But it being an issue depends on whether the individual views it as one. Personally I'm aware it's there as I have done direct comparisons to other devices but it hasn't effected how I use my Galaxy SII because I still get a connection whenever I need one, and at a good speed. It just connects at a weaker signal than I would have gotten on my older phone for example.

I agree the other problems (screen pink tinge on greys for example) is just bad luck and some people have them and some don't.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sabrezx:
Wifi is slightly weaker than my Desire, apart from that the phone has impressed the hell out of me, its strange using such a light device and I do miss the HTC "feel" a little but apart from that the best device I have used, quick GPS etc. This is a keeper :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVC1985:
I'd steer clear of the Atrix, judging by what I've read it has just as many small annoying issues only the phone itself isn't even comparable. SGS2 all the way.

It annoys me how Motorola are allowed to advertise it as the worlds most powerful smartphone when it's in no way shape or form true. False advertising, Moto ... bad puppy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eallan:
I have both. The SGSII is light years beyond the atrix in: build quality, screen, speed, look/feel, NO MOTOBLUR CRAP.

It's worth the money.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
I noticed that too. Not quite sure what is more powerful given that it's running dual core 1ghz as opposed to the GSII's dual core 1.2ghz.

I'm surprised Samsung have let them get away with it.

Tbh, its often the very same people complaining in each thread.:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zehro:
Put me down as a positive.

I haven't had any of the battery or wifi problems and the gps works flawlessly.

As a power user, I must say, this phone is incredible in almost every way. It's blindingly fast, unlocked bootloader (rooted mine within 10 mins of taking it out of the box) and even touchWiz isn't so bad (at first hated it but stuck with it and kinda like).

I couldn't stand the look of the msging app, so quickly replaced that with one from CM7 and have hidden the default lockscreen with widgetlocker. I also tweaked the sound settings with DSP manager and it is much improved now. Otherwise, everything else feels almost perfect. Probably the first phone in the past 5 years I have owned which I haven't been craving for a custom rom.

Only negatives of the device that I can really see so far is that the camera sticks out and could easily get scratched. I have temporarily cut and placed a screen protector over it for now, but using a tpu case, the camera isn't as exposed (but I hate hiding this beautiful phone inside a case).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
From the perspective of an Atrix user:

I had a Captivate. Build quality was okay, but the phone was pretty creaky as with other Samsungs I've had. The Atrix's build quality is excellent and much better than the captivate. Not sure what your talking about in your post above since one of the gripes I've been hearing about the SGS II is the cheap feeling battery door. Of course, I do not own the phone so I'm only basing on hearsay. Atrix's battery life is AMAZING. I can easily get 2 days on a charge. Enough said. Atrix is very speedy/snappy/fast etc. I have not used the SGS II so I can't speak on that. Looks are subjective. Motoblur isn't bad at all honestly (I don't like or use it though). With a launcher replacement you can't even tell it's there. Not sure why Motoblur is a negative at all, it's nothing but a launcher and widgets where Touchwiz goes into the launcher, widgets and system, menus, etc. that can't be rid of with a new launcher. Hated it on the Captivate. The Atrix's display is amazing and the qHD comes in handy with large pictures, web pages, etc. I prefer it over SAMOLED and the screen I saw on the Droid Charge (SAMOLED +) Of course, it's a matter of preference though. I just prefer the Atrix's screen. Very sharp and crisp. Another plus would be our speakers are very loud and clear. ;)

To the people that were honest, I thank you.

Heres my response to the people that "thought" I am a troll.

Obviously you guys never had a i9000m, we had a TON of problems, heck this is my 4th phone in a period of 9 months! So for people to say "Blah, troll! Why would there be any problems with Samsung" give your head a shake and use your brain, Iv NEVER had as much problems with any other phone as I did with my SGS1 and theres 1000's to back me up. So for me to just ask about how the phone is, doesnt seem like a trolly move

Also I'm sure I could post the same topic in the Atrix section but iv never owned a Moto product and thought this would be a better choice.

Actually I do 500kms of traveling in a day, so maybe its you who doesnt have the intelligence to figure out that people travel? Or maybe you want me manually change the city as I go...no wait, thats what the GPS is saposta do, and doesn't.

No its not trolly mate what is off your trolly for any reviewer to take a small sample of thousands from a total product sale of 14 million . Statistically on a production run that big you would get those sort of numbers anyway .
