[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdaMathijs:
I'm quite happy with the SGS2 (came from N1), but I'm a bit disappointed by GPS performance. It often takes many minutes to get a fix.

Additionally, my phone is having random reboots. I really hope Samsung will push an OTA update to fix this.

Mhm. No, i'm not. Good piece of hardware, that was very successfully f***** up by s**** software. Waiting for CyanogenMod to show up, if it fixes at least part of of bugs that i'm suffering now - great, if not - f***** this phone and Samsung. Forever.

My last 3 phones was: HTC Desire Z <- HTC Legend <- HTC Hero and none of them caused me so many problems as SGS II just in three days.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
If the phones that good , why am I hearing a lot of problems with the battery life? Some people are complaining poor results out of the box, some after updating the software? Is this user error or just software related?

Nexus prime rumors have just started surfacing awhile ago and I am suddenly uncertain if I am to buy my pre-oredered SGS2 lol I never really liked samsung software.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmd512:
Hehe, real life feels much better than GT5.. especially on the track! :D

There is probably some user error. But, a lot of it has to do with Android being so open and somewhat fragmented right now... to the point that it's not very hard to download some off the wall app that causes weird battery drain. I've seen specific issues of this even with established apps (ie, eBuddy). Bottom line is though, Android gives you enough flexibility and customize-ability that you can work around these. Right now, my SGSII running stock, odexed KF2 has better battery life than my SGSI ever had with even custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrSlump76:
I got this phone since saturday morning and these are the worst weak points, according to me:

*Disappointing s.amoled+ display, with bad brightness uniformity (search for yellow tint problem) wich ALL sgs2 displays have (according to me is due to the eccessive eat produced that causes the organic cell to deteriorate).

*Disappointing heat: it's really hot. It's better to not use the phone during the charging time to minimize the display deterioration.

*The battery if you use the sgs2 for other uses than the phone will last for few hours.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socialexandru:
For sure yes. After HTC Hero and HTC Desire I was a lil afraid. But all is gr8 ;-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexilaih0:
Im fully Satisfied

The phone does a Very good job in all ways.

The most critics i read abaout the sgs2 are (in my VERY OWN opinion) just fan boy or noob junk ;-)

And why you reading more critic then positiv things ?

Becouse the most people just make articels about their problems (... humans ^^)

So...

100 people buy an SGS2 ... 10 have problems.... you will find arround 12 Threads....

10 with problems 2 who saay ist all fine..

and 78 who are fully satisfied and dont tell it anyone ;-) :D

BTW: I must be very lucky becouse my device seems to be perfect in all ways ;-) no errors nothing just a very nice Smartphone^^

with best regards

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longun:
I've come from iPhone, iPhone 3G, 3GS and then a 4. Got an HTC Desire HD earlier in the year and was impressed with Android and have stuck with it since.

Decided I wanted a change from HTC so got the Samsung. I can't believe the speed difference. Its unreal how fast this device is.

Only draw back is it feels a touch plastic (Because it is).

everything else about this device is amazing. First time I've owned a Samsung phone and I'm seriously impressed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
Got 2x SII i9100 that prolly answer the topic question :P (one for my wife, one for me)

Since i had a very "old" phone prior of my S2, it's a totally new and bright world for me.

Im only disappointed with the phone hot on the left (close the camera) after you play for few time. Prolly the cpu's are there that's why, but still samsuck did a quite bad work on that.

Besides that, im really happy and satisfied with the phone, the super amoled + is something fantastic (and no, i dont really feel any yellow tint problem/ bad brightness uniformity).

Battery side, with stock rom (not rooted) the first time scared me a lot, i had like 5 or 6 hours light use and about only 10-15% left.

After few charging and now on Miui/Batista70 roms, i can play 2-3 hours a day, send about 30 sms, couple calls and after a full day i go sleep with still around 60% or more.

So if you want me to vote.. 8.5 over 10
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astoncheah:
yes, i am satisfied with this s2. my 1st android phone. very fast, vivid screen color.

previously used window mobile 6.5(really lag and sucks). tried my friend's iphone 4, not impressed, especially the home look can't be customized.

battery wise, yes, it merely lasts more one day for my daily use, but i've got charger at my work, car, home. so not an issue for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VOS:
My dad owns a LG 2x and I find my SGS2 much faster, the menus are so much smoother and the battery lasts longer too.

I've fitted a 2450mah battery which helps a lot. But yes, brilliant phone, and now being used for me learning Android development.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thestory101:
Currently I using a stock rom Froyo 2.2 came with earlier sense, I do have read a review for "wildfire S" it's comming with sense 2.1.

I think for CPU are same as 600MHZ,

- is that possible to upgrade to sense 2.1 ?

- or any custom rom with sense 2.1 ?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Nope.

Both these phones are not that similar as their name suggests. They are completely different. CPU is not just the same . The chipset is different along with gpu support and increase in MHz. And screen resolution is improved to HVGA on wildfire S.

Wildfire S is a lot upgraded version of wildfire.

Newer sense is not possible on wildfire. I don't know what the Wildfire S sense is...

I'm using SSHDroid and usb tethering when tablet is connected, find out the tablet ip, then you can use the ubuntu built-in "Connect To Server" via ssh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] poltak11:
Would you be able to explain the method you use a bit more thoroughly? I too am having frustrating problems getting my transformer mounted under Linux, and am sick of transferring everything via SD card :P

I tried over SSH, but Android automatically refuses connection. And why do we need to have it tethered via usb to SSH?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bithir:
The transformer acts as an MTP device. I had some issues with it appearing properly in Ubuntu 10.04, but I believe is because I did something wrong. I have it all working now and mounted as /media/transformer - but I am also running 11.04 now.

This has been asked on the forum before and this answer assisted me in solving it[Full thread].

You also have some links in a different thread here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] readonlycn:
What's your SSHD application? I recommend sshdroid, you search it in the market.

You needn't tethering if pc and android are in one lan (connected to same wifi for example). Getting android ip is the only purpose of tethering, you can run 'route' command in ubuntu to find out the gateway of usb0, which is the ip of android.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ppirate:
I use a combination of swiftp and droidsshd to access device from ubuntu. Works well. You might need to get the programs from code.google.com, as they are not in the market.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
People... they aren't looking for an SSH application, they are looking to MOUNT THE DEVICE OVER USB.

You need to install either libmtp or mtpfs. On Arch Linux, libmtp is in the repos, while mtpfs is in AUR. I use mtpfs.

After getting mtpfs, all you need to do is: sudo mkdir /media/tf && mtpfs -o allow_other /media/tf.

[HTC Sensation] ariel123:
i have a few question. i just bought my sensation. i would like to know if tmobile is going to charge extra for 4g usage conserding im using a 3g sim card. i read somewhere that 4g phones have different plans.

2nd is tethering free on the sensation and if not is there a way to make free (rooting or something)

3rd is there a way to disable 4g to improve battery
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
You should be able to stick with your current plan. That's what they did for me, and many other posters.

Are you actually seeing a 3G icon? What UL/DL speeds are you getting?

There's currently no way to disable 4G and force 3G. You can disable WCDMA, but that will force 2G only.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Tmobile's 4G is actually just 3G plus great marketing. You can disable 3G to help your battery but then you'd be down to just EDGE.
[HTC Sensation] ariel123:
I am getting 4g service I was just wondering wether there was a 4g sim cand or something that would improve the spewed cause honestly its only a little faster. Also for some reason my Yahoo mail won't sync any sugggestions. And btw I'm loving this phoon coming from the hd7
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
So, to clarify, are you saying there's no protocol difference between TMO's 3G and "4G"? Is the TMO 4G just an upgrade in speed of the same 3G data connection? Since it seems there are 4G SIMs, and the IMEI needs to be registered as 4G, and the phone needs special HW and SW for 4G, I was under the impression that TMO's 4G is actually a different protocol.

I understand TMO's 4G does not meet the speed definition of true 4G, but it could still be using a separate data format and protocol than 3G.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
On my phone so I really can't provide all the links and stuff but tmobile's

4G is hspa+ which is 3G tech. You can research more about it if you want.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924497&page=12

I suggest getting the updated tool that 4epec4yp posted because it will tell you when you have the registry settings changed to prevent it from re-locking.

Honestly it really is as easy as:

- Flashing the original ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131022)

- Use ChevronWP7 to unlock

- Install Samsung Tools (above) and set to prevent re-lock on update

- Update to NoDo

The hardest part for me was unlocking with ChevronWP7, for me I just had to disconnect my computer from the internet and put my phone in the windows market and that did it for me, not saying it will work for you.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
You can update safely. I did the same as you plus unbranding (clear ATT-US) and now on NoDo, unlocked.

You can check if "prevent relock" works by syncing in another computer (fully, not Guest) and then going back to the comp you unlocked to check Re-Lock with Chevron. That's how I tested mine. If you sync to another comp and don't do the steps to "prevent relock" before that, Zune will lock your phone on the new computer sync, and when you check on the original comp with Chevron, you will see "Unlock" instead of "Re-Lock".

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonkai:
So I just flashed this ROM VIA Odin and I'm a bit worried.

Here is what I'm noticing:

When I first booted the phone everything was very glitchy looking which didn't worry me too much because it was the first boot. I rebooted it after 15min or so and is was still glitchy. It was just a bunch of different pixels. I went into my camera and it looked the exact same. Every once in a while I'll do something and then it will look really glitchy and not show anything, and then it will subside. Is anyone experiencing this? Was it a bad flash or is this normal with a freshly installed ROM?

Are you rooted with S-off? If not, you will need to read about how to root your phone. If you have root access and have flashed a recovery image, then all you need to do is download the rom of choice. Place the rom file on your SD card, boot into recovery and flash from there.

If none of this makes sense to you, then you really need to do some reading before doing something that might mess up your phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balistic2:
I bought a nexus S May 26. I left my pre for it. I was happy with my pre, but the battery life had become unbearable (4-6 hrs) and the sales person was good. My opening line to him was, "I don't want the Nexus S bc it is last gen tech No dual core no gyroscope." Anyways I was talked into getting it.

Now the rumors are running rampant with news of the Samsung Within coming in July! (I know this does not amount to anything) I called sprint and straight up asked the rep if sprint was getting a galaxy S 2. He put me on hold for a min while he asked he higher up when he came back he told me "I can neither confirm nor deny sprint getting a galaxy S 2"

The Nexus S is a great phone. Although I have been able to make it stutter while loading web pages (engadget joystiq). The battery life is good, but anything is good coming from the pre with an old battery.

So my prob is do I return my Nexus S in the next 2 days and wait for the SGS2 to come out? Or be happy with what I got?

I am open to ALL opinions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brrip:
I would just get the SGS2. The phone is more "future proof", and if you're going to be running custom roms on it anyway, then all the more so.

Only reason I'd go for NS over SGS2 at this time is the stock barebones android vs the bada UI which I don't quite like.

I got my NS in January cos it made sense then. 6 months later, I can't say I would do it again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
Agree that SGS2 will be pretty much future proof. However, any improvements in hardware ( dual core) will not create any noticeable effects on daily usage.

My best bet is to wait I guess. And furthermore no phones are future proof :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brrip:
Have you played with the SGS2? It just launched under Starhub yesterday right?

It's a pretty sweet device. IMO, the only thing the NS has over the SGSII is that we're gonna get ICS first. That's if you're gonna flash custom ROMs of course.

At this point, hardware-wise, SGSII is the best Android phone there is. It's got all the goodness of the NS but that dual core processor instead of a single.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dplate07:
Yes, but however I went to test the SGS2 I found that the software isn't as optimized as NS. And moreover, the ram management just isn't up to the mark.

Bottom line, if i were choosing between the 2 I'd take the sgs2 over the sns in a heart beat. The sgs2 is gaining dev attention fast and that will make it more fun.

Hey Guys,

i got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 last monday, and very recently my GTAB gave me a black screen, in which i couldnt hold down the power button to restart anything.
