[Epic 4G General] gTen:
um..the only devices that samsung themselves releases are the international ones..the customized ones you see in the states are at the request of carriers..

Again..all this was at Google's request..the point of the Nexus S project also includes giving every member of the alliance a chance to make hardware and every single cpu vendor have an os optimized for their cpus..one of the biggest goal of gingerbread was to make the optimization for the hummingbird processor.

All credit here goes to sprint actually for requesting it like that..not samsung...front facing camera is only thing that was in the original design.

SGS2 has been out for a while..the international one works on AT&T bands too lol..so cant exactly say evo3d is best..maybe on sprint..

They are trying with the GPS last Ive seen..and I assure you grass is not greener on the other side..every manufacturer has some sort of issues..thats just how hardware is..

Again, not the point of the Nexus S..the only standards Nexus S was meant to set was the NFC chip and attempt at curved display. All else is cpu optimization and the rest..it was not meant to set the bar for raw power.

um...you just criticized samsung for not having of, notification leds and sd card...but apple doing it is ok? and in terms of specs and release dates SGS has better hardware then iphone 4...

And as stated sgs 2 is thinner..

See its not that apple sets a standard..its more so that Apple makes people believe that something is that way regardless of whether it is or not..

Psychology is very important and you will notice that 2 things can be viewed completely different based on it...
[Epic 4G General] pkny:
And i guess from the love from samsung that you read somewhere in my rant that the evo 3d had a better build quality? Please quote where i even stated that or even assumed it. So from this statement I did not have to state the crooked screen since i never said they were better or worse then samsung's quality in design.

The nexus S came out during the 1st Quarter of this year. They could of easily used the infuse or the charges hardware for the nexus S design or even delayed it for a month if they needed too. Why be like HTC and put in a outdated cpu?

Why are you arguing the fact that HTC did it and they are evil but samsung did it and they are ok. Nexus S should be the phone showing off the companies quality. There is a big reason why most of us stayed with our Epics even though we do not need the keyboard and would love to have a keyboardless epic.

Why are you ignoring that fact about that samsung also makes.

I haven't seen the 8.49mm depth before. Most sites are stating 9.9mm. Thanks for the clarification. This is the only phone i am looking forward too now. I just wish it had a higher resolution.
[Epic 4G General] pkny:
I won't argue with you because I know that i would loose no matter how the planets align :D.

You right about every manufacture having hardware issues. This is the main reason I have 5 evos and 1 epic on my sprint account. The bad taste of the touch pro 2 still lingers. I just don't understand why people are knocking on the evo 3d when it is really considered a good phone and on top of that, its on sprint. Were all team sprint aren't we?

I do have to argue about apple setting the standard though. It took phone companies over a year to become as thin has apples phones. Samsung should of been thinner to begin with the nature of OLED screens being thinner.

Well i own 2 lots Apple stock so i might have to keep saying this until i sell it.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
9.9mm is the size of the original sgs aka i9000, vibrant etc...SGS 2 is thinner..

People are knocking it because they expected the Evo 3d to blow people away.when the original Evo came out there really was not much of a competitive market and people chose purely HTC...with that the Evo was the best specced HTC phone..this time around things are A LOT more competitive, you have LG, Motorola, Samsung and other players enter the market with products just as good if not better..

Also a lot of competition in the 4G sector makes wimax not very competitive..(sprint needs to go wimax enhanced already >.>)

its kinda playing a catchup game sgs 2 will be thinner then my guess iphone 5 will be thinner then sgs 3 will be thinner...get it? there are more factors though that go into this then just the screen..for one that thinness could have been done if they took out the sd card port..but would we want that? Apple had to do sacrifices on the Antenna to accomplish that thinness at the time..so whether it was worth it or not is another story..at what point do we go.."this is thin enough" lol

btw apple actually increased thickness on white iphone 4...

No, they didn't. that was a fallacy. White and black iPhones have been measured side by side with micrometers on several sites disproving this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schollianmj:
So I just bought Evo's for both me and the wife. I watched the sales girl take them both out of the box and she did NOT do any updates to either of them, but I seem to have the famed OTA upgrade done on both... I was wondering, on Cyanogen's forum, someone posted the official RUU for sprints 2.2. Could I drop this onto my phone and run it to downgrade so that I can root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firket2000:

Anybody with SGS4G able to get into the LBSTestmode - GPS utility using either

a. The code *#*#3214789650#*#*

>> The application Service mode (process com.sec.android.app.servicemodeapp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I have to force close it.

b. Te launcher pro method of placing the activity on screen.

>> lbstestmode - Non existent application.

After pouring over the web I found out that this is now replaced with something called "AngryGPS" - I don't see such a thing anywhere on the phone.

Any other means to get hold of the GPS module to see how it is configured, etc etc...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Used Gtalk for the first time on my TF. My daughter initiated the video chat from her igoogle page on her notebook (we have talked like this many times notebook to notebook without issue) and my TF popped up with answering button. Video was fine on both sides, we could clearly see each other, but i could not hear her talking on my TF speaker, nor could she hear me.

My speakers work fine in all other apps, interactions.....the mic works fine on my TF in voice recorder/voice input applications like Google search....so not a hardware problem?

My daughter's notebook is working fine when i tried from my notebook, so no hardware issues on her side either.

I'm running Prime 1.5 and clemsys kernel v14b running very stably at 1.4GHz.

Ideas?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PhoenixFx:
Don't know about Prime, but it works fine on stock 3.1.

AFAIK there aren't any settings you can change on the tablet, only things you can check are your daughter's audio settings (for the web browser plugin) : go to gmail > Mail Settings > Chat (Tab) > Voice and video chat, make sure proper inputs and outputs are selected. Does voice work between Windows standalone gtalk client and Transformer ?

I too would like to hear some thoughts!
[HTC EVO 3D] sheep_duck:
wasnt the bad 3g a software problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
Yeah me three.

My phone coverage blows, much worse than my EVO 4G.

Sent from my EVO 4G "Myn's RS 5"
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
Someone also said that Sprint was updating towers, and that could be the cause of some finicky 3g coverage.

I'm not quoting because I don't have the link or post, but is there really software issues causing 3g issues? Any posts / links to information?

Im more so having issues with my GPS
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Well I returned for a hole in the keys that let light through. It was a huge debacle because it was so incredibly small that the manager didn't see it.

In the end I left with extra accessories on top of the free Otterbox Defender that I had gotten before and got a job offer as well.

And yes, this new phone is perfect. The 3g is due to Sprint's network though. I don't think it's the phone.

My advice is to stay away from those defect threads lol. Just don't look at them. You'll get paranoid.
[HTC EVO 3D] sling:
My first one was a mess light leakage galore around bottom ugly stuff.

2nd one is pretty good only thing bugging me is 2d-3d button,

Its not stiff has minor play needs a jerry-rig fix.

I'm thinking small peace of scotch tap behind button will get job done.
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
Well it seems like my 3G has gotten slightly better today. I was told by Sprint that my area had not 1 but 3 towers with problems. I had them send me a new phone just for the hell of it to see if the speeds are any different. I figured if everything is the same, I can rule out the phone. I honestly think its Sprints network but I wanna know for sure.

because the rom takes up the space when you flash the partition size

[Galaxy S II General] dusty_nz:
I have had my SGSII for about 6 weeks now. Running it on the Telstra Next G network.

The problem is I am having a shocking internet experience.

My experience is based after coming from the HD2 running Android.

I have had the network freeze a few times. This is identified by the traffic arrows stay stuck. Airplane mode and back resets.

Basically cloud based apps like Market, Maps etc takes ages (60s-5mins) to start up. Kill and re-launch is quick).

Lots of network errors in Google Market.

Lots of Server unreachable errors in Emails (Pointing to exchange 2007)

I have updated the APN details to use Telstra.internet.

Great reception at home and work.

Calls and SMS's are fine.

Ideas? Waiting to see the Cyanogen rom. Wondering if my experience is due to Kies or another program getting involved with internet.

Any ideas please. My HD2 ran with the same Sim and worked like a rocket. No such issues.

Have you tried turning fast dormancy off? I'm on the Optus network, but I found with fast dormancy on I was getting unreliable internet (market would timeout a lot, doing installs/updates would fail straight away, etc). When I turned it off, I got better speeds and the connections were reliable.

Turn fast dormancy off:

1. In dialer - *#9900#

2. Select Disable fast dormancy
[Galaxy S II General] holdup:
no such issues for me, using a vodafone branded handset. The only thing is that it will occassionally use 3telstra instead of telstra, in which case i need to manually select the network. a bit of a pain but not 2 bad

[Galaxy S II General] tomelsmith:
THIS IS A GREAT POST (even if it is a repost from whirlpool)!

So many people appear to be having this issue (including myself on O2 UK) where the data connection is stalling.

That code (*#301279#) is a gem.

Whilst I am certainly not happy that Samsung have released this phone with such a massive issue (telling you to wait until KE9 for a fix is really quite terrible!), I would rather have this fix in the meantime whilst waiting for the new firmware.

I have just disabled H/H+ by selecting 'Release 99 HSPA off' and my stalling issues have disappeared. Furthermore, my down speed is still 1.5 Mbps and upload speed is also 1.5 Mbps. I am more than happy with that speed. As the quoted post states, if you want more than this speed, this solution will not be good for you.

One thing i did on mine with Telstra is change the APN from Telstra.wap to Telstra.internet made the internet feel better. Also got much better upload and download speeds.
[Galaxy S II General] pbrown77:
May be a sillt question but.

I used the stock dialer and put *#301279# in

Menu popped up.

Used my finger to press "[2] Change HSPA Revision"

Pressed "[2] Release 5"

Goes to menu with two options of which none seem to do anything when pushed.

Went back to strat of menu and selected "[1] Release R99"

Same options and none can be clicked.

So am I not doing this right? Have the changes been made with no signs or message? If they have changed how do I get them back?

I expected the option to change to visually say its "off" or something.
[Galaxy S II General] pbrown77:
Although no message came up it appears my phone is staying in 3g so maybe it worked... Although I am in low reception visiting the country side so maybe they don't have H or H+ anyway....

If I selected the first option does this restrict data to 3G?

Select 2nd option for H?

or Select 3rd option for H+ or unrestricted?

Is this how its works?

Edit: I have now found it works like I thought. The screen after I click either of the options then shows what is active and is the confirmation in a way. I jumped on the forum a little too quick......
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
Hi. I've book marked this because I get this issue thanks.

However it is worth noting that difference between 6 and 5 is only hsupa which is upload. So you wouldn't expect change in download speeds changing that going back to 3g of course affects both directions.

I use a SGS2 (bought in Europe through Expansys) on Telstra since 2 months now, without any issue. I used several firmwares and kernels since then (not to test, just to update: KE7, KG2, KG3), all behaved the same way.

I tried two different APN (telstra.iph and telstra.wap), both gave me the same kind of speeds (quite good, except some times in the middle of the day).

I never found the datas to create the telstra.internet APN (they do not seem to be on ausdroid). Could someone point me to them?
[Galaxy S II General] asgard:
As an aside, I've just finished testing the I9000TDUKF4 modem (yes it works!), if Telstra did actually have tweaks made as they claim, there was no discernible difference on Telstra's NextG using their 'T' version KF4 modem and a stock KG3.

Any changes if any must be on the hardware level or via software set tweaks, the modem really didn't make any difference at all to my download speeds.
