[HTC Wildfire S] R2D2_SW:
I think so. Like I said, I never tried it so it's all speculation here. How about you try to install the apk on top of the ones you currently have, i.e. without deleting them? You do have the ablility to install from Unknown Sources correct?
[HTC Wildfire S] old.splatterhand:
Yes i have. But I'm new to Android, so I want to be careful.

I replaced both in system\app folder (without installing) and after that my market doesn't work anymore. :(

So I had to flash my ROM cause the Backup files didn't work too.

Was a lot of work, making all new (but at least Titanium Backup works :D).

Maybe somebody other knows more? :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] R2D2_SW:
I am a bit confused here. What do you mean by you replaced in system/app without installing? Also,you said you used Titanium Backup. I thought this app only worked on rooted phone :confused:

Unfortunately, I cannot be of much help because I really have an Aria with a ported rom from Wildfire S. I personally fixed the download issue by deleting and reinstalling these apps, but in reality, I have no idea if that would work on the actual Wildfire S. Sorry that I cannot be of any help.
[HTC Wildfire S] old.splatterhand:
My phone is rooted.

I mean I changed the apk files in folder system/app with those from you (using Root Explorer). Before I deleted them I made a backup of the original ones.
[HTC Wildfire S] R2D2_SW:
Ok, so try this then. Delete the apk and don't replace them. Flash the Rom and boot the phone. Then install the apk from ur original Rom, i.e. not the ones I provided, but the ones u originally deleted.
[HTC Wildfire S] old.splatterhand:
I already flashed my Phone with original ROM and it works again, but the bug is again there.

The point is, I dont want to flash my ROM every week so I hoped there is a solution to change without flashing again.

Otherwise I will wait, my there will be a fix from HTC.

But I wanna say thank you, for your help and your patience with me!
[HTC Wildfire S] R2D2_SW:
I'm with you on the flashing. I'm not sure HTC will release a fix for this though. However, what u can do is return ur phone and get another one. It seems not everybody has this issue. I'm personally glad I could resolve it on my phone.

Good luck!
[HTC Wildfire S] jean001luc:
I dont know what causes the download or how to fix it but do have a workaround which could minimise amount that is downloaded

I have noticed that the phone ONLY downlaods the last application that was installed. So what you could do, after you have intstaled whichever app you need, is to download and install a very small app. That way, each time the bug to redownload is activated it will only be downloading a small amount of data

Read through the threads, youll find theres not that many actual users with the problem vs multiple post from same person.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
One of the bad things is that owners of the sgs2 cant seem to find the search function on this site, neither can they read the threads that have been posted before their own 'totally unique' thread.

Its probably best you just read a couple of threads and decide for yourself. just remember that people only tend to post to complain, people almost never post to say they happy with a device.

The headphones output is awful. I have to play music at full volume with all the EQ bands maximised in the equaliser and I still can't get a decent level to combat street noise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhippsyB:
Sounds like either you haven't got the headphones all the way in or that your headphones are naff. I can't maximise the sound without hurting my ears!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbanging:
I've tried several different pairs of headphones and they are definitely all the way in. I've spent most of my spare time this week trying to sort it out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm111:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Here's one, there's no control over who can buy it.

Instead of just accepting that, based on their needs, the display, battery life, camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, GPS, and/or 2/3/4G signal might not meet their expectations, rather than return the phone, people start a trillion threads seeking affirmation of their issue. Then, the rest of the minority having the same issue(s) pile on to all basically say the same thing. After exhausting each other and running a thread up to 20+ pages someone will start another just to repeat all that was said again. And you know what, it doesn't matter that the SGS1, DHD, iP4, or N8 were better at certain things than the SGS2. The phone is what it is and may not ever be as good as either it should be or you want it to be. Take what Samsung has on offer and accept that or return the phone and get something that serves your needs better.

Either my particular device is a rock star in the top 1% of all those made or my expectations are lower or perhaps more reasonable than others. This is after all a phone, not a device for managing nuclear weapons. Regardless, if the phone didn't meet my needs sufficiently I wouldn't create 1,000 posts and martyr myself, I'd return it and get something else that better served me. I had a G2X which was as horrible a device as ever produced. When I read on that forum that all I was experiencing was common I lost quite a bit of money to dump it and get an SGS2. Hint.

Here's one, there's no control over who can buy it.

Seems like one of the main qualifications is lack of search button willing to try anything without reading the instructions .Must have is to post the same topic as others post hijack threads etc .

The idiot quota is much higher than on SGS 1 and approaching Nokia levels .,

Most of us where in that category but actually took time to read the FAQS work our way through the posts to gain an understanding before attempting anything .

the one you have tried, are they all iphone headphones?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivik:
OP, from my experience (i was one of the later people to get the phone)

I do not have heat issues.

I do not have battery issues.

My sound is amazing and very loud.

My earphones sound AWESOME, and EVEN better with 5.1 surround sound turned on (built in on music player)

My GPS locates in 1-3 seconds - it once took 5 seconds, with or without wifi.

My device does not creek.

My screen has no banding issues.

My screen has no yellow tinge/yellow spot.

My camera has no red dot/spot.

IF YOU WANT THIS PHONE. Get it, and the chances are you will have a similar device to mine, a perfectly working one.

Remember the forums are a concentration of all the phones. If you put these problem into the proportion of devices that have been made and sold (god knows how many at least 3 million plus), a absolutely minute proportion have these issues.

I had the exact same fears as you, so, go for it and you won't regret it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrael:
Same as Daivik :)

Well , except on the heat, but i blame for now the apps I use for this overheating :

FPse and snes9x EX :D

for me it's for now an application problem (poorly or not optimized yet for dual cores ) so I cope with the heat while waiting for updates.

Totally satisfied with the SGS2 as it is
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcon10:
cheers been waiting for some positivity
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivik:
Glad, but it's the truth, from me. Not just saying it to make you get the phone. The phone truly is epic and Samsung, have done a good job, hardware-wise, software-wise and design-wise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbanging:
No, of course not. It's the same on my Numark cans and even on my M-audio studio monitors. I can't believe that people are saying that this phone is loud - there must be something wrong with my handset.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidluck:
yes the heat is a bit of a bother but this phone is awesome. Lol the headphones are pretty good I had it once too that i didn't push all the way through. You have to go deeper xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolfi:
I think it's good to have a discussion and views of so far ordinary users who have now bought the Samsung galaxy s2 and things you don't like about or the faults so far you guys have discovered.

With all the hype I thought this phone would be the phone of 2011, but with all the problems I now think it's the hype of 2011, this thread is a good balance to that.

So far I've had few problem with mine.

1. wifi weak signal

2. gps not locking without wifi, and if it locks is lost quickly.

3. 800x480 resolution ( what Were Samsung thinking)

This phone is build with cheap components, and being charged premium money. Mine is going back for replacement and if that turns out to be the same or other issues then refunding it.

The good thing about it is that it's got Android which by far is best thing that can happen to a phone, this or any phone, it can't be faulted and I feel Android is carrying this phone. And I like size and shell of the phone I think is a-bit sexy.

Also not all 3Million owners are sitting on this forum trying to write bad things about it.

I tested the Wifi at the shop where it was on display for sale and found wifi as bad as the Nexus S. With wifi on it got a quick GPS lock but with it off it did not hold GPS lock and too longer to get a lock. This was done in Taipei.

Screen looked awesome and was quite responsive. Google's Street View seemed a bit slow compared to the Nexus S when moving around as it seemed to take some time reloading the image as one moved around.

The only annoyance I have is the yellow tinting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Wifi sharing battery drain actually if you don't plan on rooting the phone. It will eat up 20% of your battery at least per day if left alone.

The yellow stain on the screen is nothing. You will never see it if you don't look for it. You'd wish a company as big as Samsung got everything right this time but oh well, guess nobodies perfect. Look at Apple.

i am running infused 1.3.1 andon quadrant i would score 1500-1750 but on smartbench i would get 915-1015 on cpu and pretty close to 3000 on gpu , i have two questions, are those score from smart bench good and secondly which should i take more seriously quadrant or smart bench
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
None of it matters... The phone runs good doesn't it? that is all that should matter
[Samsung Infuse 4G] silver258:
Wtf good is an insult its beyond good i came from iphone 3gs lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if you buy the full version of quadrant you get more information, i am totally against the idea of just stacking scores like quadrant does. that being said smart benchmark attempts to make a simple compsite score that is more relevant than the otheres do using some kind of algorithm to balance the weight of each componant, i dont agree with that either.

if you want to benchmark to figure out what you have improved specifically then get antutu or pay for quadrant but never look at the cumulative scores, it is totally irrelevant.

if you want to see how the performance compare acording to an algorithm get smart benchmark

if you want to be impressed with the phone, run a 3d/opengl benchmark. or otherwise play some H.264 codec .mkv videos at 720p (1080p also works but at a lower bitrate and class, the 720 video would likely look better) then try the same video on an atrix and an inspire.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
dont know if it is helpfull or not but one thing i have found is the autosync drains the battery real fast,also setting the screen to full brightness sucks alot of juice. i have been unplugged for an hour reading the forums and still at 92%,that is good as far as i am concerned,if autosync and brightness were set on ut would be at 75% by now

What I want to know is why after a reboot on any ROM it seems the battery drops approx. 8-10%? It doesn't take that much battery to reboot a phone. This has been the frustrating thing for me thus far.
[Thunderbolt General] BigMcGuire:
Yeah, one of the biggest battery savers for me was turning Facebook from 1 hour to 1 day (auto update). I can't believe how much battery that uses. Set the screen to manual brightness with the Android Power Widget and bam - you've got a phone that can last awhile.

Good info for those new to large screens. The screen is by far the largest battery hog on these phones for me. I find the screen plenty bright at about 30%. Except in the sun of course :)

I wish I could get some nice battery life! I already have my phone set at 30% brightness, my auto updates are set at like 4 hours. I fully charged my phone last night and unplugged it when I went to bed. 8 hours later it was at 45% battery remaining. Doesn't seem that good for a phone sitting with display off and doing nothing overnight.

B136 is the pre installed ROM?

Or in other words: people that buy the Ideos X5 today will not have any wifi connection problems?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] astewart:
Obviously I can only speak from my experience with my own phone, but it came (3 months ago) preinstalled with B133 and did an update over wifi in the phone's update options and had no problems before or after the update. The update was about 3 weeks ago for me and I have been using the wifi almost every night since I go the phone. I am very happy with it
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Can warmly recommend this phone, its great !

Grab them at Huawei and upgrade your firmware, they have a guide included on each firmware download pack you download.

though i like this phone very much, i can honestly say that wifi problem does exist, at least in certain instances including mine..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Meiga44:
So it has been established that this phone sometimes has wifi issues. The question is; can they be solved? and how? anyone got any experience in that area?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dshanah:
I'm on B136 and WiFi is still broken. B136 seems to have made Wifi connections a little bit more reliable, but it still drops out pretty regularly, usually when I try to update more than one app at a time from the Market. In the middle of the downloads it stops because the WiFi has become disabled and has to be restarted again.

It's less of a problem when there's only one update to download, but if there's two or more it happens quite frequently. It also still sometimes happens (though perhaps less frequently than before B136 was released) while it's not downloading anything, just sleeping (I have it set to not disconnect when asleep) or awake and connected to my WiFi network.

The unreliable WiFi connections are one of the two worst problems with this phone (the other one is the wildly variable battery life).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Meiga44:
