It's not that this phone is really expensive it's that quantitative easing has diminished to value of the dollar, the phone won't get much cheaper unless the fed stops printing money, if you look at the price of the phone in real money (ie gold) so can see that the phone is actually about half the price the sgs1 was at introduction!

This is a top of the line luxury good. It's hardly your daily bread and water, you really shouldn't expect to be afford everything you want.

And you really shouldn't buy a new phone PAYG, you should always buy it on contract so it's the same price and you don't have to pay now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan442:
Really.... wouldnt you rather buy the phone for £500 pay £10 a month for a tesco mobile sim (500min,500texts and unlimited net). And then sell the thing in 2012 Q1 when the SGS3 comes out...

If i have 500quid cash i would buy the phone, this will probably be the last phone i have on contract. Look after it and sell it for top money when the next uber phone comes out :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
About the same price that we pay here. The iPhone4 32GB was over US$1000! It will hurt now that you are paying the actual global price and not the reduced price that the US's great market volume is able to command. Still, it is a great phone for $700 though.

You have to remember, or found in some way, what is the latest official version number for ur country..Or remember what version do u have before flashing the first custom rom..How is possible u don't know what version was running berore flash the custom rom? :)

In addition: Is your phone branded?

and nope ..my phone is not branded..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:

But is very old, so for example if ur phone is not amoled, that ruu can cause u big problems

Why u want unroot? To see if "IT IS POSSIBLE TO CHANGE ..BRAVO PVT-3 .. TO HTC DESIRE PVT-4" ?? That is possible only if they change ur phone with an other one..Why u should need that?? There is no difference for users between various pvt model

[Samsung Mesmerize] livinsacrfice:
Looking for an easy way to turn 3g connection on and off. At work, the 3g signal is so weak that it keeps bouncing between 3g and 1x. Whenever it does establish 3g connection, it is usually slower than 1x because of signal strength.

I tried apndroid, but it did not seem to work right. Any other advice?
[Samsung Mesmerize] foxfire450:
I use Dazzle. I have a bar set up on one of my screens so that I can toggle mobile data, cell radio, tethering, WIFI, ringer volume, GPS, and screen brightness. There are a couple of other options you can add that I don't use, too.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
For me the power control widget that comes by default works fine. You might also be interested in the app Roam Control from the market, if it works for you you could use it to force roam at work. I use it at home sometimes because my house is closer to the Verizon tower than the uscc tower, and sometimes when my 3g signal gets weak I can roam onto Verizon and get faster speeds on 1x roaming.

Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
[Samsung Mesmerize] livinsacrfice:
I tried out roam control. I'm not sure what to think. Previously at my home, we typically get weak 3g signal sometimes dropping to 1x. When I choose automatic mode, I only get 1x. When I choose home or roam, either way I get a consistent 3g signal. I'll have to check at work tomorrow to see how it fares there.

Is there a way to be certain whether I'm roaming or not? When I pull down notifications it says "cellular south" regardless of choosing roam or home. But the results I'm seeing on speed tests are not what I'm used to seeing. (more consistent, constant speeds at both 3g and 1x with better signal strength). I know I'm not charged from roaming, but I figure I'd get in trouble if I'm always roaming.
[General Questions and Answers] mcjordan92:
Hi,

I am a musician, and I usually read my chords / lyrics / tabs, through a computer or through page.

Recently I've been trying to get rid all the pages, so I moved them all to the computer (as a picture scan or as document)

I read them through Word reader or PDF Reader.

usually PDF because it has an "Auto scrolling" system that lets me hands-free read all the pages (usually there are 1-2)

So I've now got my new android device (HTC Desire HD), and noticed it also has PDF and Word reader (woohoo ! ), so I moved all my songs into it.

But unfortunately I can't use it hands-free because it doesn't have auto scroll and also the monitor shuts down after few seconds.

So do you know any application that could do this?,

that could read Word and PDF files, and can do auto scrolling, and keeps the Display on all the time?

Thank you very much,

Yarden.

Hi

I've been trying to find an email notification widget for my homescreen, just something that adds an unread count 'bubble' for accounts other than gmail, but without luck. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know I can get notifications in the status bar, but I often have that hidden so I can easily miss unread mails.

Also does anyone know of a decent push mail client? Its often hours before I get email on my phone...

Cheers!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hrockh:
Decent mail client.. well depends of what e-mail provider you are using

I personally use Hotmail, and Touchdown "exchange for android" is brilliant.

It works also for any exchange/activesync account.

if you want to show the unreaded e-mails in the home screen, just create a little widget 1x1.

other clients which are good are K-9 e-mails and the stock mail app.

for me, touchdown is better than anything else

hope it helps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nomarky:
I'd not heard of Touchdown, I'll be sure to check it out, as my main account is Hotmail too. I tried K9, but sometimes emails would come hours late...same with the stock email app...

[HTC Sensation] jaws5656:
Question is clear. I am using iPhone 3Gs, and i am thinking about upgrade to android. Now,there is 2 choice for me. HTC Sensation or Samsung Galaxy S II. I know HTC really good for this smartphone area, and i dont trust so much Samsung. But when i look their reviews, i am seeing SGS2 much more smoother than Sensation in web browser. This is frustrating. I know SGS2 is using GPU acceleration and HTC doesnt use yet. And, i wonder HTC will ever use this acceleration and i'll ever feel that smoothness? That's the question for me. As an iPhone user, idont want to use it anymore. But i want smoothness like iPhone on android. Is this possible on Sensation on nest updates. I can wait, because i'll want use my next phone at least 3 years. But i cant tolerate any slowing problems, lagging etc. Now i am waiting for your answers and thank you for your helps.
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Even DHD's brother is smoothier than Sensation's..So wait for HTC's upgrade..It must can be solved
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
I suspect a large number of these bugs (including hardware acceleration in the browser and a lot of other places) will be solved by an OTA. Give it a few weeks for the OTA to come out, if it doesn't, maybe custom ROMs will solve it :)
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
I'm not technically knowledgeable about smartphones, so could someone explain to me how the GPU acceleration works? I thought that the GSII relied on a hardware-based implementation, so is there a software-based solution that HTC can use to get similar performance?
[HTC Sensation] jaws5656:
I hope HTC will fix it and like i said i trust HTC. But, why HTC wasn't think this before while Samsung do that. I hope HTC knows what to do.
[HTC Sensation] jaws5656:
Actually, solution is software-based. Because, both devices have strong GPU. While SGS 2 is using this power, Sensation is not. That is the problem. I hope HTC will solve this problem.
[HTC Sensation] ratchetnclank:
Ice cream sandwich will have native hardware acceleration.
[HTC Sensation] jaws5656:
When the ice cream sandwich will emerge? And is that information applied by Google or manufacturers?
[HTC Sensation] jggonzalez:
Great! I've decided to get the Sensation. I was wavering to see what the Bionic had to offer, but the more I read about this phone the more I like it. Hearing that there is room for significant performance increases through software updates makes it sound even better. Hopefully HTC starts working on a solution soon.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Most likely we will see optimization from devs before we see it from HTC. Fine with me. Same probably goes for ice cream.

Had to laugh at my buddy who texted me the other day. An EVO 4G owner who said he is getting gingerbread OTA. I've been telling him for a long time he owns a ROM machine and could have had gingerbread a long time ago.

The story being devs make these phones truly great and the more popular the device... the more devs we have = more ROMs. The Sensation will be hugely popular and should be a ROM machine in it's own right one day.

-Edit-

It's because of devs that my main phone is the HD2 and the rest of the family uses something else. And it's and OLD phone now! Another ROM machine.
[HTC Sensation] shure2:
opera mobile is now super smooth, I loved it on Windows Mobile, hated it when it first came out on Android, but its now back to its best. It beats the native browser hands down. They have been trying to implement hw acceleration themselves since last year but haven't yet achieved it... hopefully in the near future
[HTC Sensation] jaws5656:
Fine, but, what about this bootloader issue? Is this problem solved? HTC said their devices no longer have locked bootloader. Nevertheless, every single Sensation even they shipped will have unlocked bootloader? Is this information confirmed?
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
No its not solved. You can't buy it right now expecting it to be unlocked for sure. The odds are great though that it wont remain unlocked. They are working on it in the dev forum right now. HTC will most likely release what they need soon enough if it takes them time. I consider it a very acceptable risk and will buy one.
[HTC Sensation] jaws5656:
By the way, I am still waiting for release officially in my country(Turkey):). I hope phones will be unlocked.

Hi, My first post on here. I have had an Advent Vega for 3 months now and did find it quite limited due to a lack of decent apps and no market. I knew this of course when I bought it but at £250 with all that lovely hardware,... no brainer really. :) I had a look at some roms but for a novice like me they were a bit complex then I literaly stumbled across ganjamans post. I had to read it 3 times cos I couldn't believe how simple the instructions were. Anyways, I went ahead, downloaded the zips I needed (and this was as a non member, a lot of sites don't allow that) and 20 minutes later I have a smaller taskbar (nice) and market access. My Advent is now totaly transformed, I can have a nice wallpaper, use skype and basically use the Vega to its full potential. Ganjaman, you sir are a genius as are those who contributed.

Hi!

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but this is the only phone-related forum I'm registrated in. So I have Nokia 6700 Classic. One day it fell down and broke volume buttons, I opened the phone and added two wires and simply set the volume to max without the button. I started to screw everything together, booted up my phone and saw that the colors are wrong and the picture itself was wrong. Unscrewed everything (thought that colors are wrong because something is too tight), but still colors were the same. Removed the LCD, tried something more but still the same. Is this a LCD problem or GPU (dunno, maybe it is only a CPU) problem? I need a new LCD anyway, but will that fix this problem?

Btw, now I have a nice colorful crack on the screen, sadly nothing else is visible, hard to call someone :D
