I honestly don't understand this. Have you owned a Samsung device within the last year or are you referring to posts you've seen in forums and online. I feel like Samsung takes way more of a beating then they deserve. In past times their phones might not have been the greatest, but it is my honest opinion that within the last year and a half they are beginning to make a complete turn around and build a well earned reputation. Currently they are producing and putting out a plethora of well specced and software updated devices that are capable of competing among the best in the game. Look at the screen tech they are developing. Word on the street is they have a prototype of a mobile screen with a higher ppi then apples retina display. Have you seen the retina display? Im no apple fan boy but its gorgeous, I have to take a magnifying glass to it to identify a pixel. The point is, it is time we let go of our ancient views of samsung and give them another chance, theyve made a come back into the game and very deservedly so.

I had an Epic not too long ago, which I did like, but also had things I didn't like about it...

Likes

-The Screen was beautiful. So far I haven't used a phone with a screen that amazing!

-Felt very sturdy for a slider

-Pretty decent performance

-I actually like Touchwiz a lot.

Dislikes

-Battery life, but the battery life on my Evo isn't too great either.

-When I had it, it was still on Eclair. I wanted the phone for Froyo for flash, which now it has Froyo.

-Hated the keyboard, didn't use it half of the time.

It wasn't a bad phone, but support just came too late for the Epic for me to want to keep it.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
I get about 1-2 Mbps less on my NS than on my EVO. BUT battery life with it on is more than my EVO with it off. Can't wait till they upgrade the radio SW. Also can't wait till I upgrade my EVO to the 3D, hopefully it had the same WiMax improvements.
[EVO 4G General] applefanboylol:
hmm i just bought a ns4g but as i recall, when the EVO4g was first released didn't the EVO ALSO have radio issues? unluckily an htc device nuff said.
[EVO 4G General] flight01:
You obviously have not had very many sammy phones. Sammy phones look great on paper but usually have some kind of faulty hardware. All sammy past and present phones have hardware issues(except for maybe sgs2). All sgs1 phones still have gps issues no matter what you have heard about it being fixed, except for the epic. The epics gps is no where near as bad as other sgs1 phones. But the epic has a very bad bug of cpu issues when trying to use it while pluged in. It also has a few other minor bugs. Look now at the nexus s and 4g model they have radio probs and should be able to beat the evo in real world tests and bench marks but cant. All in all sammy has earned their bad reputation.

As far as displays go yeah sammy makes some pretty good ones for phones but thats cuz they have alot of experience making tv displays. so i would expect that from them. Maybe sammy should just make cool displays for phones and leave the rest up to other manufacturers.

Maybe the sgs2 can redeem them but only time will tell on that, cuz their is not very many sgs2 phones out yet to really know if they have issues
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Honestly I've never had luck with Samsung and GPS. And I honestly won't trade my Evo in for anything, except *maybe* the Evo 3D once the upgrade time comes, provided the bootloader isn't locked.

4 Moments and 3 Epics

I've owned 4 Moments (family plan) and 3 Epics and all of them were gladly sold at end of contract.

Radio problems on the Moment made me wish it had an old-school reset button.

The Epics had very slow and buggy OS updates.

Great build and beautiful screen... best in the biz... Touchwiz had some great features (like sending an incoming phone call to voicemail, or voicemail with a return txt message to caller... which you could customize as well)

As I stare at my day old Evo... I do miss that Epic screen.

So in the past week I've come to really enjoy the new Google Music app and have been using it as my main music player. Unfortunately, since I've upgraded to EE03, the app is broken. I read somewhere that it has something to do with how Samsung edited the mediaprovider file. I don't know if this is true or not but does anyone have a workaround to make it work? If not I guess I'll go back to doubletwist or something but I figured it's worth asking!

It was true, I believe google sent out a small patch to fix it though today or yesterday. But even though this flaw is there, there's hardly anyone that used the flaw to get information. There's flaws like this in every operating system. The only thing you can do is just put a door infront of it so it can't be exposed anymore.

This is not as a big of problem as some people think. Software is like writing a contract, you are trying to state something that only be interpreted in one way. GOOD LUCK......... no matter how good you are there is always a failing, just like software. You try to code so no code, socket, or port is left open or vulnerable, but I do not know of anyone who has been 100% successful....ever. The best security is "YOU and your common sense"........except with some they have a "YOU part" it is the other part that is missing.........:p

[General Topics] jepatrick:
Correct me if I'm wrong here but as long as the person looking to exploit this is on the same network as you they can use this exploit (which can be problematic for flat networks like university and dorms). Even so WEP passwords can be sniffed out in a matter of seconds and WPA and WPA2 have both already been broken so, its not like your invisibly to this even if you are behind a secure network.

Anyways its been blown out of proportion. There are always exploits like this chances are either we as user group don't know about it or it has yet to be discovered.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Westonio245:
Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to make sprint hotspot remember the router's name and password you put in?

Because every time I open the app it reverts to it's old and default name (htc evo shift 4g...) and password (1234567890).

Or is there a way to change the files so the default is different/something i put?

I am using the NFX-Shift.Odex.STOCK.V.2.0 firmware on my rooted htc evo shift, which unlocked the app.

Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Westonio245:
Some reason it started saving my password and stuff now. The thing i did different was put in the router and what not, start the wifi, then while still in the app turn it off again. Before what i was doing was use an extended controls widget to turn it off. idk if this was the problem but now it is working.

Flashed a single ROM, RG1.6, getting ready start flashing various ROMs now that I know more. I have 3 gmail accounts and many apps. I plan to use titanium to back up. I went to privacy and allowed data to be backed up to google servers. I do't know what the heck it's backing up (account names and passwords, etrc?) but they say it makes getting up and running with a new ROM faster. I want to develop a recipe for quick backups to make my flashing life easier. I assume frequent rom testers have this down pat because they dont want to waste time.

1. titanium batch backup apps and data, system apps + data ( i assume later i can choose not to restore system apps and data, but, just in case)

1b. maybe do a second round with mybackup pro? this app says it restore BETWEEN diff types of rom, I dont know if titanium claims this (i.e. between ext3, 4, or between aosp, mysense, sense, etc)

2. run SMS backup + restore, a free market app that backs up SMS to SD card in XML format it seems.

3. run APN backup, a free app from the market, just to make APN restore easier

4. make a backup of my SD card in case i bork everything and have to suddenly format the onboard SD

5. stick (in my next case) royal ginger 2.1 on my SD

6. reboot to CWM3024 (newly reflashed to be safer with the cant mount cache E errors)

7. follow ckisgen instructions in RG2.1 post to wipe all the caches etc,

8. install from zip, pick the zip

9. let it go, follow post instructions on 2 reboots, letting it sit, so on.

10. sign in to google with my main gmail account.

11. (?) will it then restore my other gmail account and settings since I selected "google servers backup" under privacy section in the royal ginger 1.6 rom?

11b. (?) will it then restore all my market apps for the same reason?

12. use titatium to batch? restore apps and data, but not system app and data

13. install APN backup + restore from market (or it will already be there) to put my apn data back

14. same with SMS backup + Restore app

15. what the heck did i forget?

I want to be like a nascar pit stop. Weet! Weeeet Weeet! Safe but fast. Done. Anything you guys would change with this?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srivers33:
Ive never known why so many ppl love titanium.....seems slow and unpolished to me. In any case i change roms every few days. my routine is something like this

1. Download My Backup Pro......Set it up to auto backup what things u may want in the future on other roms. For me its bookmarks and apps. thats it. Does it by itself every night.

2. Nand backup my current rom (if i liked it and might want to come back)

3. Wipe everything. Data/cache/dalvik/format system/format boot

4. Flash new rom

5. Log in and sync my google account

6. Download my backup pro and let it work. its all automated and quick so within 10 mins i can have a new rom running with everything i had before and my backup pro saves app data so it already knows to continue the cycle of saving my info each evening.

Hope this helps

ps. the answer to both questions on 11 is yea it should. dont see why it wouldnt. although if u have certain apps u want quickest sometimes its best to go and cancel the download and restart it if your not on wifi.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdmilitia13:

either is fine. adding the data means it will be a bigger save file but u wont lose anything youve done. i usually pick apk + data unless its a file i dont need or have any data with. For now backup everything u could ever need. (u wont need your old sms or mms messages, {or contacts if they are synced with google} pictures shouldnt need backing up, etc...u get the idea) For me thats as i said before bookmarks and apps mainly, my dictionary, music playlists....

All the work involved with restoring all apps from various places (market/amazon) and all the user settings is what keeps me from trying out more roms - so definitely interested in this thread and any other tips about how to get things switched over quickly...

Hi all,

I have the Plantronics Discovery 975 bluetooth headset which has never given me problems before on previous HTC phones, but I now hear crackling whenever someone speaks...

Are there other bluetooth headset users with the same problem?
[Galaxy S II General] beppez82:
+1 voyager pro sametimes cracle sometimes no
[Galaxy S II General] radx:
We bought two SGS2 and two Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth headset at work. I got one of the phones and one of the headset and I'm having the exact same problem as you have. My other colleague who were happy enough to recieve the other phone does not have any cracking noise which is rather weird.

I even tried my headset connected to his SGS2, i had to make sure my head wasn't messing up the signal or something lol... and it worked fine, so it's something with the phone i guess.

In this thread they talk about KE7 having a new sets of Bluetooth profiles and what not. Perhapes Samsung recognized there was some bug and changed things around.. But i'm only guessing here.

In case anyone is wondering:

Yes, both phone and headset was fully charged when tested.

Yes, both phones and headsets were tested in the same room around the same time so it cant be interference from external sources as it didn't bother the other SGS2.

I'm using KE2 over here. I forgot to check what version my colleague is using but we got the phones the same day from the same store so I bet he is using KE2 as well.
[Galaxy S II General] oleost:
Did both phones have WiFi enabled or disabled?
[Galaxy S II General] radx:
Come to think of it, I think i had it enabled on mine but not on the other phone. I'll try compare them again and this time have wifi off on both phones.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I had a 975 for about two weeks before I returned it. I wasn't getting consistent performance on either my G2 (HTC), G2X (LG), or Vaio P (Sony). I replaced it with a BlueAnt Q2 and didn't have any problems with the same devices. It works really well on the SGS2 for phone, media, and Voice Talk. The 975 also wasn't A2DP and I like to listen to music and audio on my headset sometimes.
[Galaxy S II General] radx:
I tried disabling the wifi, not sure if its just now or not but, it seems to be working better. I still hear the crackling noise every now and again but not like before. However i think i will keep using my SE MW600. It delivers more solid performance and the sound quality is better as well. Maybe it's because the MW600 supports A2DP.. i cant really tell.
[Galaxy S II General] USMC4USA:
HTC HD2 Tmobile USA I am also having serious crackling problems...to the point of contacting Plantronics to replace my Voyager Pro and pay $49 for refurbished headset. Distance to phone 2 feet and only getting 1 bar on bluetooth strength. Any sort of obstruction like moving head between headset and phone still at 2 ft away...noticeable crackling and 1 or less BT signal strength on phone. With Wifi enable crackling increases. Connecting to a linksys router just 3 ft away is quite fast but still only 3 signal strength. Turning off bluetooth causes a rise in wifi signal strength but zero bars if more than 10 ft from router. I hard reset but problems still existed.

Extensive research on the problem came across issues about bluetooth and wifi electronics on circuitboard are side-by-side and has something to do with the negative affect on each other.

Anybody have similar "crackling" audio or crackling sound and / or LOW signal when close to phone or wifi routers. I welcome any suggestions at this point.

Jawbone and bluetooth crackling

Hi,

I have a Jawbone Prime which I used for my iPhone 4, which was crystal clear, now I've used it a couple of times with my S GS2 and so far I'm struggling to get a clear call quality.

I thought it was the headset but I have tried it with a friends Advantax speakerphone and that happens the same, every 10 sec's it goes quite and crackles to the point that it's impossible to actual have a conversation!

My phone is only 3 weeks old is it worth exchanging it or will I get the same problem if its a software issue??

Help please :)

BTW I have just spoken to a lady from Samsung about this issue, to find out if it is a handset issue or software. After being passed around saying it was the headset, though I explained I have tried another 2 headsets, she now said my headset is not compatible.

When I asked her for a list of compatible headsets she put me on hold and then came back saying 'Please go to an accessory store to find out'.

I don't like being fobbed off but I believe Samsung are doing that to me and everyone else! I asked if they were fixing this issue, as there are other forums of this issue, she couldn't answer that question funny enough!

I'm now going to try another handset with my sim and the headset as I work in CPW, finger crossed!
[Galaxy S II General] gadgetgaz:
I don't know if I am having the same issue as you guys. You are describing it as "crackling"? My connection falls into a state where the audio sounds as if the bandwidth is REALLY low. So the other person's voice is choppy - really fast choppy - I don't mean intermittent sound.

If I briefly transfer the audio to the phone and then back to the handsfree device again it clears up.

This happens in my car which has a Parrot CK6100 and also our BMW mini built-in bluetooth system.

I have a UK Orange branded SGS2 with KE2 firmware.

Could someone try doing the above and see if it clears up the audio?

As a side issue, stereo audio over a2dp works without problems so it is not a signal strength issue.

I have been having a problem with my bluetooth crackling in my car for a very long time now. I did a search and found this very old thread. I wanted to bump it up to see if anyone else is having a problem like this and if there is any known troubleshooting steps we could take. As previous people have posted, stereo bluetooth works fine, its just on calls with my car that it intermittently crackles. I can toggle the connection to my phone and back to my car to clear it up, but who wants to do that? This happens nearly every call. I thought it was my car so I ignored it but I recently tried my phone in a different car and had the same issue. Ironically, I never have this issue with regular bluetooth headsets, only with cars. Anyone else have a problem like this?
