[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
Hard for me to admit this but I would have to say the Galaxy S II at the moment. After seeing multiple reviews and comparisons on YouTube, out of the box its the most polished smartphone on the market right now. Why? It has a Super Amoled Plus screen, higher quality HD recording (30 FPS), battery life is better due to SAP screen (less energy consumption), default 1.2Ghz Exynos processor. Once we recieve the "official" Gingerbread update for the G2X with corrected battery drivers, working bluetooth profiles, and no more reboots/freezing, the G2X will be on par or even ahead of the GSII. Especially with even more stable UV/OC kernels, I'm sure at 1.2Ghz our Tegra chip could beat Samsung's Exynos. Tegra has a better GPU

Samsung galaxy s ii
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
well

in usa if it worked as advertised nothing can touch the g2x.

world wide nothing can touch the galasxy x-2

i dont believe we can say the galaxy x-2 is the best hee in the states since we have no idea when or will it will land first. and if it is slow coming it wont be the top dog when it gets here. stuff coming in oct-dec will kick all thats planned through august as of now. of course those could get delayed until 2012.

anyways my answer is g2x in usa, galaxy x-2 world wide.

but as for acceptable purchases at this time

g2x,sensation(when the bootloader is actaully unlocked),

and well have to see release numbers on the evo3d that could be a contender definalty better than the sensation.

if you have a g2x and they do fix the probelms with the update you wont be disapointed until at least 4th quarter.

What exactly is ext4 because I don't notice any difference at all in the performance of my phone. I'm also running voodoo lagfix on GingerReal 5.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nitro_123:
hi, a little bit of info.

EXT4 is another Filesystem that we use instead of the stock RFS offered by Samsung

It IS faster but since 2.2.1 (IMO) you really can't see the difference in performance because Samsung optimised the Filesystem (god help them as they STILL didn't change it) It is faster in read write and is more robust than RFS

Anyone wanting to correct me may do so :)

EDIT: your benchmark scores, like quadrant will be higher :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
Everyone is always saying to get the ultimate experience you need to flash a custom rom, apply a lagfix and change to ext4. I have done all these and cannot see the difference in performance at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theduckking:
well, the stock roms got way better over time. 2.1 was unusable and 2.2 just bad. with 2.2.1 things changed and the phone got pretty good without root or custom roms ... or lagfixes

If you don't feel any difference after applying a lagfix decide what you're more comfortable with and leave the phone on that file system. consider the fact that you'll have to be on rfs to flash a rom via odin.

If you want to speed up your phone try juwe's memory optimization

a different launcher might also help (launcher pro and gingerbread stock are fast ones I know)

what else... don't install IM clients or anti virus programs, they tend to kill battery and sometimes performance.

you could also look into overclocking but I was never either comfortable with the idea nor did I feel any need to.

EDIT:

instead of flashing the zip file from juwe you can download Galaxy tuner, go to memory manager and set up everything yourself

values are as following (juwe's)

VM: 50; 10; 50; 100; 90; 5

EDIT II:

praveen6585 did the math for the lowmemkill settings, those are:

10; 16; 24; 48; 56; 72

mine are a bit lower, I feel it's a bit faster in daily use because applications that were just used stay in the RAM longer
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtda:
just to be sure swp=50

vcp=10

dec=50

dwc=100

dra=90

dbr=5

is that correct?

ive never messed with these settings before and dont want to muck things up
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theduckking:
yes, that's correct, I added the lowmem kill settings to my previous post
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtda:
thanks mate, giving them ago now, ill give it a day or so. rfs is fast but i do notice the difference with ext4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miztahbeezy:
I don't know, but I surely felt aspeed difference when removing the ext4 partition both on froyo and gb. Also gb seems to be a lot smoother stock than froyo, even with the 500hz kernel. Also I prefer hardcore's speedmod on both versions.

PS: I used android assistant's hourly boost on both and it helped me much. I have yet to try these lowmem settings so I'd be glad for any info on their usefullness.

without these information, its very difficult to comment about the battery life... hope u understand.... otherwise why dont u flash lite ROM pro 1.3 which is there in the dev section ? its the best so far.... try it & report here..

OP, here's some good news. Indian batteries don't behave any differently than batteries from other regions. You should feel comfortable participating in the half-dozen battery threads knowing that what effects you in India effects everyone else exactly the same way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hubh98:
I have one mytouch 3g 32a (with 3.5mm). It is bricked due to the bad misc partition. If you happen to have a working MT3G 1.2a, can you dump it and post it here. It is 256kB.

It is easy to get a dump of the misc partition. In the adb shell mode, just open a

terminal and do the following:

Code:

adb shell

cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

Thank you very much.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
actually you want to use dump_image to cleanly dump the partition and flash_image to cleanly flash it again.

For the magic (32b/32a or MT1.2 its all the same) you can get the "Rogers" image here:

http://sandbox.devnull.name/android/misc_rogers_magic.img

for use on non-rogers branded phone all you need to do is edit the CID (at the very beginning of the file) in a hex editor:

In this case the 'ROGER001' for rogers to 'T-MOB010' for t-mobile US however its best to match your carrier. (in many but not all cases; you can find your phone's CID on the kernel commandline)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hubh98:
I have used the misc.img from here,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8139736&postcount=6

and change the CID to T-MOB010. It turns out as the same as ezterry's.

The SD card is working now. However, I still cannot update radio, system and userdata. It is very strange. I cannot update the misc partition using flash_image misc misc.img. Everytime I run it. There is no error. However, when I read back, the partition doesn't change.

I have backed up my corrupted misc partition, and found the difference not only at the first several area, but also at the area between 0x1000 and 0x1800. For my MT3G 1.2, the area between 0x1000 and 0x1800 is filled by 0xFFFF; for 32B, it is filled by 0x0000.

What is the difference between the 0xFFFF and 0x0000?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hubh98:
Here are the Files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
If you have many zeros I'm going to assume you cat-ed /dev/zero in it at one point..

because the flash's base state is true (0xFF every byte) to the best of my knowledge.

regardless.. if you are having issues flashing it try erase_image misc .. then flash_image misc

If you are not in clockwork recovery (and thus lacking erase_image) a binary is here

push to tmp, set perms to 755 and run /tmp/erase_image misc

(really all the dream/sapphire misc partitions are identical.. what changes is the "boot mode", "Main Version" and region codes) in general you never want to overwrite or erase misc.. as then you get s=on behavior even from the engineering SPLs.

but wont stay checked
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinbakon08:
I know this sounds strange, but try tilting the tablet 90 degrees (landscape to portrait or portrait to landscape), then select one of the keyboards . . . . When you want to select another, no need to exit the menu, just tilt it back and select the next one!!!

I hope this helps.

I was very frustrated that I could find no answers online, but one day I accidentally noticed this pattern and sure enough, my Droid Incredible (CM7) behaves the exact same way.

Idk what the permanent fix is, but I've had no problem whatsoever once I found a workaround!

Good Luck!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
So already pushed in the pool with my brand new infuse... Hopefully all of the tricks in the book will work, but any other advice?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] djbrian52:
I have had luck with pulling all removable pieces and laying it on the dash of my car for a few hours. Keep in mind not to put it in direct sunlight. I used a newspaper to cover it. You just want the heat factor to evaporate any moisture. Hope this helps.

P.S. You have the phone I want.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
pull battery and if you can dis assemble the phone (it's pretty strait forward, 6 screws then you prey the back off, it's a tight fit but you wont break it)

put parts in a bag of rice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
Right now I've got it in a bag of rice and without the battery/back cover but I left the screws on. I'm gonna leave it there for a day or so and then try tomorrow. I'll just pop the SIM in my iPhone. Wow going back to the 3GS is a super big drag. The screen is horrendous.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah vga resolution is pretty bad, plus it is soo small.

the disassembly is really optional, but is preferable if you are comfortable with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
Yea thanks again for the help
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
You get a container filled it with rice and put the Infuse inside like in the middle cover it fully. May sound funny but this thing works. Rice actually suck all the water on any devices. This happen to my iPod twice. I left it inside my pant and wash it in the washing machine, I did this and it fix it twice. No kidding. Live it there for 1day, long wait :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
The phone is fine now, except it has water trapped inside of both camera lenses. Is there a fix for this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i would imagine you need to disassemble the phone. im sure the water is under the protective lens and the sensors are fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Sprint reps on different forums and over the phone and in most places have been told from HTC there will be no shortage of EVO 3D's.

Many people are acting like after 1 day you will not find one and that just will not be so.

#1 many people who got the evo are not changing.Yes we have most of us on here but the normal world person is not going to change just yet.

#2 The EVO was a all new thing.That phone was A FIRST.It was hyped like no other and there had not been many new phones before it so many people used there upgrades.

#3 People who got the EVO of them more then 50% do not have a upgrade to use.

you read on here about all the people getting extended but again in the real world not many people understand it can be done.

Lastly the phone has not had much fanfare.We on here and other sprint forums look at it totally different then the real world sprint people.

i called up my Best buy and my local RS and local Sprint store and between all 3 there was 10 pre orders total! and 2 of them were mine at Best buy.So besides me there was 8 others.

People going around saying they will only get as many as were pre ordered and a few extra is just not the case.

Sprint is doing these upgrades to get people to reup for 2 years and help sales of these new phones.

The EVO was a totally different ballgame then what the evo 3d will be.Will i get 1 day 1? Yes will there be a shortage? NO.

If you want to debate it go ahead but sprint has posted a few times already this will not be the case.
[HTC EVO 3D] jessejames111981:
i mostly agree. I doubt there will be a shortage

But I also did preorder and I'll be at the store early on release day mainly because the radio shack I'm going to is super busy on a normal day and I work second shift so I'd like to get it done before i go to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Yes i will be also going early but those who can't get to best buy or RS or the sprint store on day 1 are not going to be SOL.

You MUST also understand and i know this to be fact! there are MANY and i say MANY sprint reps who work at sprint on HERE and sprint users who try and hype it for sales.

They have stock plus want more people in there there stores and will hype stuff.Heck on SU alone i know of 15 alone i have talked to on there.

So again if you cant get 1 day 1 i think you will have no problem day 2.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
As amazing as this phone is, it won't sell as well as the EvO.

The Best Buy near me (Orange, California no less) only has about 20 preorders for the EvO 3D...a week after it was announced.

I went to preorder the EVO 2 days after it was announced last year, at the same store and there were 100 existing preorders.

Granted, there is more than one Best Buy, but I'm near a "HUB" in this city. People are aware, and don't really care as much.

The word EVO isn't as tantalizing as it once was. Cool phones though.

No shortages this year!
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
I disagree. The evo is still hard to get sometimes... so i don't see it being any different for the 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Where? tell me where you can't get the evo? heck they lowered the price to 99$ and best buy online and stores have tons.

Sprint.com has not had a shortage in months.

Now if you are a sprint rep and want to hype what is just not there fine but please a shortage of evo's? check ebay if you want to see there is no shortage.Heck people with new evo's in box are under cutting each other on EBAY now cause of lack of new sales.

But please share with me where the shortage is for the current evo?

ahh ok a sprint rep lol.just got a IM saying the above me is a sprint rep no wonder the lie about a evo shortage lol when in fact there is plenty no matter where you look.

SO MR I WORK FOR SPRINT SHOW WHERE THE EVO SHORTAGE IS OR WAS IN THE LAST MONTH ANYWHERE LOL.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
They didn't have it in stock online a couple weeks or maybe a little over a month ago.

Why so angry? Not like i am attacking you?

What? an im from who? wtf are you talking about? I don't work for sprint in any way or shape?
[HTC EVO 3D] silkander:
I called in a few weeks ago to see if they might offer me some type of deal and the guy on the phone told me they were oos...
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Ive been on my account online every week at least 1-2 times per week i check the other phones and the prices.

This is why i can say there was never a shortage in months on sprint.com of the evo.

But the new evo 3D has been said by high up sprint reps no shortage at all is expected and they were assured by HTC there would be no shortage.

In fact the EVO is more popular then the evo 3D as your average joe is not going to take the time to sell his EVO and then pay out for the EVO 3D.

I am just posting because many are trying to put the fear out there will be a shortage so people jump on it when they may want to wait a few days but are scared they will miss out.

Goodluck whichever way you guys go.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
companies such as HTC don't make the same mistake twice. There will most likely be a surplus of Evo3d's.
[HTC EVO 3D] animal7296:
I, for one, am not worried about getting one on launch day. I believe that there will be plenty of them available. I have yet to see a commercial from Sprint like I did for the EVO4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
Sprint has learned its lesson from last year. They have been mass producing the EVO 3D since early May. There will be plenty to go around. Trust me

I'll know the exact numbers next Wednesday
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Well the thing is there are 2 reasons there will be plenty avil.

With the evo shortage they already have told sprint there will be no shortage.

And unless you are on XDA SU or PPC Geeks and such not many outside that even know or care about it.

And those who own a evo again less then 50% have a upgrade avil to jump to it.

Will the phone be a winner? i think so.Will it sell out everywhere like the evo did day 1 and for weeks?

NO
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
I facking love that people are arguing whether there will a shortage or not.

Listen up, artficial shortages are done all the time so the product get deemed by the media "hot selling". HTC isn't relying on Samsung for their screens like last year however I'm sure stores are going to keep some stock in the back for a few days to "create a shortage". If I'm wrong, dont facking flame, its just a phone
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
That is why i posted the thread on other sites where more Sprint employees are they try and hype it just like in here.They want to create panic so everyone blows out there upgrade and once you do you have 2 more years unless you use a etf.

The thing is i will like this phone and i will use this phone.But i hate when people start the i am camping out stuff and so on because the fear of OOS hit them.

This will be a good phone but HTC will not let there be a shortage again like with the evo and already has told Sprint this will not happen.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Best advise I can give is to ignore it then, if they aren't hurting you it shouldn't matter. If you pre ordered you will be good, let the idiots camp out if they want... Heck, i'd even drive by and laugh at them. I know i'll be feeling comfy at home the night before and go pick mine up in the morning. Just remember that we will all have our sweet evo 3d's really soon and we can all relax :)
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Of all the arguments to get into this is one of the dumbest imho.

Who cares?!

it doesn't matter in the end one bit. If you really want the phone youll find a way to get it period. If you dont, then you wont.

This is hardly worth drumming up the conversation about. I could care less if sprint employees are hyping it up to sell it and create a panic. Thats their damn job to begin with! And rdcrds argument about getting people to blow their upgrade is a little redic and meaningless. The ppl that want it will get it and the ones that dont, wont. end of story.

Who cares if ppl camp out anyway? let em be a apple like idiot camping out for phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I don't care if people camp out that is fine.The thread was not about people camping out.In fact i really only try and reply when someone has a question or says something.

But please do not get into a heated discussion about it.

Just to show you How sprint employees try and hype/make people panic is if you were to start a thread like this on SU.com the employees of Sprint go into the thread and start a flame war because on then the thread gets closed.It has happened many times in the past.

My only purpose of this thread really is to let people know who if they can't get it day 1 they will be avil with no shortage.Htc has told Sprint there will be plenty avil unlike the EVO launch.

Some people do not have the $50 to spare to put a pre order in and have to wait till launch to get it.I just hate sprint employee hypes who go on these forums and try to push a shortage when there just won't be 1.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Again completely pointless. If you want the phone your going to get it some way or another. If you dont then you wont.

pointless thread imho. least deff not worth its own thread. coulda just stated that you herd supply was going to be able to meet demands this time in the other threads. sorry just dont get the point of caring about sprint ppl hyping or trying to cause a panic over a device. who cares,
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
When I checked online a couple of weeks ago at Sprint, the EVO was out of stock... In fact, just now is the first time I have seen it available on their site in awhile.

The EVO launch was a mess, there was a shortage from the beginning and they are just now catching up. There won't be a shortage of the EVO 3D as both Sprint and HTC will be better prepared for the launch.

A good friend of mine in KC, MO had to wait over 3.5-4 weeks to get an EVO. He was leaving AT&T & the iPhone and was bummed that they were out of stock for so long. I should also mention however that he was waiting for the white EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
Ok the biggest point any of us can make here is... If u are so sure there won't be a shortage, why do u all have preorders? Personally I have a preorder and I believe there will be a shortage. Not like the evo og but a shortage none the less.

[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
He meant available. I am sure you knew that. Not grammer police but sure slammed him for it, no?
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
I think phone owners just stick with their device for the two year contract. Sure us [H]ard core geeks will be early adapters and get a new phone right away, but we make up a very small % of sales compared to the average Joe.

I know a few non tech guys with an EVO, they have no clue about the EVO-3D, and when I tell them about it, they say stuck with their phone for another year, don't want to break contract.

So expect the EVO-Three due next year to be a HUGE seller.

Sent from my EVO 4G "Myn's RS 5"
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
Not everyone bought an EVO last summer. There will be plenty of Pre owners and Hero owners looking for a new phone this year. Both will be eligible already or in the next month or so. So I would expect a lot of them to pick up the EVO 3D. If HP actually sets a date for the Pre 3 in the next couple weeks maybe it will help easy the burden on the EVO 3D but as of right now there isn't much else. There are a lot of potential phones but nothing with actual release dates.
