[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Im so tired of people summing up everyones experience. I have a sgs2 from first batch and I have none of the problems youll find on the first 2-3 pages of threads. Remember like the member above me said, people with complaint threads will post before a postive thread. Complaint threads will get the most attention and see the most post. There might be less then 10 members actually having the problem if you read through the thread.

Display: gradients on screen is really only not that noticable unless your anal. Only time I see it is when I open xda app(takes ages to load on brown screen) and others are seeing it on the intro to angry birds. Not while actually playing but the intro lol. Screen is beautiful and works 99.9% correctly.

Wifi: I have no issues with connection or speed. I download lost of big files daily. Mostly mixtapes and other files usually around a 100mb+. I get connection and my 15-20mbs download no matter where im at in my house.

2g/3g/4g/ My device stays connected through 3g all day. When im actually downloading or using data it switches in 1sec to H+. Real world usage is really fast in North florida but if im playing with speedtest apps I will get mixed reviews.

Audio- I start my music at work around 9am everyday. I work with loud ass dogs and other various animals on a daily basis. Never had a problem with audio coming through my handset and I use the included headphones. At 50% I can hear my audio over barking dogs. In my vehicle with my 2 12s and 1000w amp you can hear me from a block away. Easily matches my wifes iphone4 if not better with poweramps eq.

Camera- No issues here. Just getting back from short trips to jacksonville fl, orlando, and north georgia(mostly ATL) and no pink spots on my photos.

Battery life is all user to user. I myself have the luxury of charging my phone over night unlike others on the website. I can do my heavy using from 9-6 everyday and still have 30-50% when I get home. Music is always playing through headphones(9-6) 2 emails checking hourly, check xda 1000times, browse atleast 20 websites throughout the day and other numerous stuff and can make it home after a work day. If I was anal I could get 2days out of my phone before it actually dies. Remember with android most problems are User Error.

Unless you are in love with Sense, theres no phone that can match it until the next sgs comes out.

If you call this "not that noticable" I give up :

(Nexus One vs S2 @ "the Impossible Game" )

Do you think this is a normal IQ for a High End device like the S2?

As to Angry Birds 1 & Rio (and other games too) it is not only noticable in the intros my friend ... if you play them you will see !
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Yeah I consider that not noticable in my book.

1st photo is a picture of the battery charging when phone is turned off if I'm correct. I don't stare at my screen when its just charging. In my real world use ill never see that long enough to annoy me.

2nd pic is when its connected to kies. When I actually use keis I'm not looking at the phone. I'm not saying its not there but the first 2 pics is not something I see daily. Im guessing the 3rd is a game but I don't play it. But the gradient is there.

I'm pretty sure I've heard its a software issue and not hardware. I find the pictures you posted funny. It shows me how hard it is to reproduce the gradients. But like I've said before I must have crap standards to accept a phone with imperfections. Can't believe I spent 700 on the best phone out to date.

To me this is a small issue that's resolved with a software update or one of the amazing devs come up with something. We don't have a ton of choices and I rather have gradients on a FEW screens vs what HTC is doing.

I understand that im a early adaptor of a device. Things may be changed/fixed in the next couple of months like nfc or something.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyav:
Please Help. I have had my Inc for about 3 months now and have tried different ROMs. Today I noticed that my phone was not connected to my Wi-Fi at work. When I try to enable Wi-Fi the only thing it says is "error." At first I thought it was mabye the ROM, restored from a back up from a different rom a couple days ago, still get error when enabling Wi-Fi.

CWM 3.0.0.8

hboot -0.92.0000

radio-2.15.00.07.28

ROMS Kingdom Stock Sense 3.0 Rls 1.1 and IncRom 1.6

Do you think my Wi-Fi is broken all together or should I try to upgrade my radio, or try some other solution?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Can your phone not connect to ANY wifi network or just this one in particular?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyav:
Will not connect to any. Wi-Fi can will not enable. Every time I try it says "Turning on..." for several seconds and then says "Error" and Wi-Fi is still unchecked. When I try to enable Wi-Fi Tether for Root is fails and instructes me to check log. The log is as follows:

Loading bcm4329.ko module (fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin from /etc/ firmware)...failed

Starting access-point...failed

Activating WiFi interface...failed

Enabling NAT rules...done

Enabling IP forwarding...done

Tethering now running...done

My laptop can not connect or see my phone to tether to it. Yes it has before.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I'd think that it sounds like a hardware issue if it was working before, but it can't hurt to try a different radio. TBH I haven't really heard of many other situations like yours, wish I could think of something...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyav:
Thank you for the help. I think I will restore it to bone stock, take it to Verizon and see what they can do. My last Inc thay would not help with but sent to PCD where these phones are refurbished for HTC, they replaced the mother board and sent it back. Took 4 weeks though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyav:
Well just restored phone to complete stock, still no Wi-Fi. Looks like I will be visiting Verizon on my lunch.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyav:
Well after several minutes at Verizon and them determining that yes there was indeed a problem with my Dinc, they warrantied it out and sent me a new refurb. Got that one yesterday. Got the phone activated, played with it for a while. When I went to lunch I really put it to use. Watching a short 15 min video the phone got warm and rebooted. And then rebooted again. When the phone finally powered up to a workable state I let it sit and cool down. Today for me lunch I decided to get it to reboot cycle again. Yep it did, took to Verizon which is about 20 min away and the entire trip it would keep rebooting. By the time I got to the store it would only boot up to the HTC Incredible screen until I pulled the battery and tried again. Still only HTC Incredible screen. Showed the sales rep, another one on the way. This will be my 4th phone since March of this year. I love the phone but if I can't get one that works it doesn't do much good.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
you can do a backup with titanium backup.. and that way you wont lose your apps...

Yeah as other said,

Just do a backup with titanium and then just flash a stock rom with Odin or use ezbase. And you're good to go ;)

I have a new Asus running 3.01 I guess my question is should I root it now then do the update via OTA ? or update then root......... I would like a more technical answer than just do x ..........

[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
You can't root 3.1, so you would want to root now. Then apply a pre-rooted 3.1 ROM.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
I don't think anyone has spent much time looking into it since Asus hasn't tried to prevent us from rolling back to older versions. It's a non-issue for now. Just roll back, root, then apply rooted updates.

Edit - Maybe a more direct answer... I'm sure someone will eventually find a new exploit for 3.1, but for now we're not being held back by the lack of a 3.1 specific root method.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
try

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpshptl:
I tried that and everything is checked where it should be and still no other contacts are added.

Also should'nt everything from my sim card come up anyway? I just assumed everything on the sim

would always be there no matter what.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Nope. The SIM card is 100% independent from the Google Accounts and on board memory.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpshptl:
Just to make sure I am not confusing anyone. What I mean by contacts is not just emails and names from google. I'm talking about all the names and phone numbers on my sim card. None of those seem to come up. Which is why i'm confused. I allways thought if your phone is in service and you can make calls and use data, you should have access to all the info on the sim card.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpshptl:
Problem solved! I found out that I can go under contacts and export it all to the SD card and then just import all that on the new ROM. RoyalGinger is awesome! I can't believe how much faster my phone got.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hugo32:
Hi,

I'm having a frustrating problem and I hope my Streak is not broken:

I got a new Streak today and updated it to 2.2.2. I had to download the update file manually with my PC because the wifi connection randomly disconnected.

I easily managed to set up wifi (I just had to enter the SSID and it worked) but the connection is very unstable. At best I can download 10 mb before it disconnects. While browsing it disconnects after seconds. I can't open larger sites like bbc.com.

I can see the WiFi symbol on the taskbar dissappear every ~3 seconds.

Other devices such as my laptop have no issues connecting to my wifi.

thx
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hugo32:
It seems to work now (*puh*). However I don't know why.

I did a factory reset, a router reset and installed wifi analyzer.

Would be glad if some explained to me what the issues might have been here.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] efoot:
I have written a new Windows GPS application for outdoor activities. It uses free maps from the internet, and shows road maps, satellite images and, in the UK, OS maps. It has a simple route planner and records trails of the path taken.

It differs from existing applications I could find in that it can download data for an area using a home broadband connection, and then work offline in the field. This avoid excessive data charges when roaming, and also allows the program to be used where there is no phone signal.

The program comes in 2 versions - a desktop one for XP/Vista/Win7 and a mobile one for Win CE, WinMo 5 & 6 (but not yet 7). It works on legacy Win CE SatNav systems. The desktop version can download data to the mobile device or, if it has internet access, the mobile unit can download its own data.

I hope sell a version of this, but am currently finishing the development. If any-one would like to try it and provide feedback, I would be very grateful.

[HTC EVO 3D] AdamLeonard:
Photon 4G was just announced for Sprint: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/motorolas-4-3-inch-photon-4g-brings-tegra-2-kickstand-magic-to/

Similar specs to Evo 3d in some areas but some intriguing differences too like Tegra 2 chip and it being a world phone rather than US only and having a kickstand. There is also reference to accessing a larger screen through a doc which I'm wondering if is something like the Atrix's laptop-like doc (which I love as a concept).

Not heard anything good about Blur but then there are a lot of Sense-detractors too. Anybody know if you can turn off Blur and install another launcher on Motorola phones without bootloading?
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Yea I don't like the design, Blur or VGA front facing cam. And to think...I was going to get this phone if HTC didn't reverse their decision on locked bootloaders. HA!
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
Neither one is perfect for me

I really like HTC so I'm getting the 3D but if I had my way I would take the new EVO 3D without all the 3D stuff

I preordered a 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Well being that its already been shown that the CPU/GPU combo in the 3D is hands above the combo with tegra 2 in the photon, not even an option for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
There is one feature that would have me choose the photon over the e3d..... 'free' tethering on the laptop dock.

This would set them apart from att with this device and would be the best offer in the industry. If you are willing to buy the phone and laptop dock, they could let you use it on only the phone's data plan. That is win!

But it won't happen.

Ask yourselves that, if the laptop dock use was free, would you be much more likely to buy it?
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
Decent phone, nice specs but not for me. Plus who knows when it will release. Sprint announced the 3D in March and we won't get it until the end of June so available sometime in Sept. No thanks, the 3D will do everything I want and I prefer Sense over Blur.
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
I'll take HTC over Moto..
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
I think the EVO-3D with Myn's "Warm TwoPointThree" ROM will be the best phone for 2011, besides the quad core Nexus-Three
[HTC EVO 3D] gqstatus0685:
I was going to skip the E3D for some other Android offering and I think I may have found my next phone. It looks good but I have to get confirmation that the bootloader won't be locked down. The specs look pretty awesome and I can't wait until they hack it to work without a laptop dock.

Awesome.

The main reason I'll get this over the E3D is because it's a world phone.

OP you should copy and paste the specs of the phone in the 1st post so people don't ask spec questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Photon has 16gb internal storage vs e3d 4gb. I use internal for apps only so 4gb is enough. The Tegra 2 isn't all its Cracked up to be especially against the newer qualcomm chips.

Photon has international support so that could be important for some.
[HTC EVO 3D] nubsors:
I think I have decided against the Evo 3D. At this point in time we can expect that the boot loader for the 3D will come encrypted with the possibility of being unlockable at a later time. Motorola has pretty much encrypted everything they have released in the past 6 months except the Xoom. So my initial expectations are that the Photon is also going to come with an encrypted bootloader. Which means I more than likely will not be getting this phone. We know pretty much for certain that the SGS2 will come with an unlockable bootloader. To me the choice is very easy. SGS2 here I come.

I just saw this and it seriously made me re-think my decision to get the 3D. I've been looking around for benches pitting the Tegra 2 against the 3rd gen Snapdragon. It also has much more internal memory, I believe the 3D is 4gb. My biggest reservation is that Moto isn't very hacker friendly and, from what I've seen, that isn't likely to change any time soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
But it has been a while since sprint and MOTO played nice
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
I think most people already saw the specs when the phone was rumored a few weeks ago. There was a thread on it somewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Its been done and the snapdragon really looked superior to the tegra 2
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
This is what I'm curious about... Does it have a SIM card? The phone is CDMA & GSM? It would be damn nice to have a good phone to use in Japan if I could just plug in the SIM card from my japan phone
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
lol, so much wrong in that statement. BTW, it looks as if toast has already looked and saw the 3D can be rooted, so no problem anywhere as far as locked down.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Atrix with a kickstand.... I'll pass.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
He might be right in the statement he made. The few 3D's that have been seen around are review samples and are s-off. No one is certain whether the initial batch will be encrypted or not due to the fact they were already manufacturing them when HTC decided not to encrypt the boot loaders. We might have to wait for an OTA to get them un-encrypted, won't know until they release. As for Moto, he is correct, they do their best to lock down everything.
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
For real lol. I remember following a youtube video of all these ADB commands to root the OG. This time around was pretty easy. (once I got past some stupid stumbling blocks)
[HTC EVO 3D] brownrob73:
Photon 4G hands down!

First off, let me preface this by stating I am a die-hard EVO 4G backer! That phone has been the best phone (so far) I have ever owned! Hands down! Now, I am a business owner and require a sturdy, reliable, functional phone to conduct my daily business.

I have owned a Samsung Nexus S, Photon 4G, and an EVO 3D. They all have their issues. But in terms of signal strength, call quality, loudness, speed, battery life, and overall functionality, FOR ME... hands down...the Photon 4G performed the best.

The EVO 3D is fast and pretty but for what I need it to do, it sucks! I have had random reboots, weak signal strength, call drops, the speaker quality sounds like crap compared to the photon, BATTERY LIFE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!, and to top it off, I use square to collect payments from clients and when I connect it, the 3D thinks it is headphones and starts to play my music player! Let's just say some clients aren't really big Tupac fans as I am! Then when i am finished with the transactions and unplug the square device, I can ONLY talk to people using the speaker phone UNTIL I reboot the phone.

I love HTC from a development standpoint, but rooting and dealing with the 3D doesn't take on the same amount of ease as the OG 4G did. I love trying out different ROMs but from a business standpoint, I need functionality and dependability. I know some of you may say 'maybe you just had a lemon'. Let's just say that after the third 3D from different lots, I would say 'nyet'!

The Photon is not without its issues but for my requirements, Motorola Photon is my choice. Launcher pro took care of the motoblur issue. I will say this...the moment there is a AOSP ROM out for the photon, I will be getting it!

I loved the Samsung Nexus S for its smoothness. Didn't have major issues although the signal strength was a little weak and the loudness (ear piece, ringers, and speaker) sucked. Looking forward the the Epic 4G touch (SGS2)!

Regards,

Robert
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
You're spot-on... if it weren't for the Pentile LCD that made me so dizzy I almost vomitted, I'd still have that phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] simmer down:
exactly that. well, that and the silent calls issue. but mainly the "qhd" display that looked like a comic book.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
I want to rip the radio and speaker out of the Photon and put it in my Evo 3D... those are the two most laughable aspects of the device... they are AWEFUL... sometimes I swear my ear speaker is louder than the speakerphone speaker.
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
Agreed. Makes me wonder if they even test these designs in the prelim design phase. If so, who's the idiot who said, "yup the speaker sounds great! "
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
I think they included this speaker as a joke, and someone forgot to remove it before final release.
[HTC EVO 3D] Carbon Trooper:
Hmmm... Right now I'm in the biggest dilemma ever. I have a Photon 4G and absolutely LOVE it, only the screen door effect bugs me just a bit. Now that Google bought motorola, I'm thinking that it's gonna be a great future proof device with all the updates.

BUT the Galaxy S2 is a sweet device, and the screen is absolutely amazing. I did hear, however, that samsung sucks at updates. AND some other hardware issues arise when talking about samsung.

So now I can either stick with the Photon, and live with the PenTile display, or I can get the GS2 with a better screen and processor, but risk it with the support and manufacture defects. Can anyone help me? My 30-day is up on the 20th.
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
I'd go with the GS2
[HTC EVO 3D] Carbon Trooper:
Can you tell me why you'd go for it? Thanks for the reply :D
