You dont need a ford to get what hes talking about...

Most of what he described is standard bluetooth capabilities. With the exception of voice reply and read text messages my JVC unit does all else. I do get a message that says I have a text however. I imagine when I get mango and actually have the read and write through voice functionality It will work seamlessly as well.

Of course the ford system is fancier overall but as far as functionality from the phone as he describes it, its the same.

I am curious though, does the focus have a usb plug? Can you plug the phone in and actually control the zune software? Or is it just bluetooth control?
[Windows Phone 7 General] oldpueblo:
It depends on the trim level I think, mine has two USB ports though. I think I've read that it controls via USB as well. Here are some other things possible:

So yea, I'm creating a big EXT4 partition on my SD with 1GB swap, I know how to install "ADB INSTALL -s *.apk", but how can I direct that to the EXT4 partition?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dateno1:
you must make folder's symlink first

and it will be automatic
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tilde88:
any chance you could instruct me a bit on doing so with the symlinks?

using shell @ pm setinsatllpath 2 only places the contents in the FAT32 partition. which is counterproductive. mind you, im running the Evo 3D, which is still locked hboot...... so its temp root only that i can use, with stock kernel... with the .ko not be included for ext2/3/4 on shipped rom?

I've finally had enough of the freezing screens, force closes, complete memory wipes and many other issues with my Arc so I've given it the flick and thinking of going s2. I've heard about the crap battery life (although there are some that say it's not too bad) which I can deal with but are there any other problems I should know about before buying an s2?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
1. It doesn't have Sense or CM7 as yet

2. No Voodoo sound or colour tweaks

3. Some reports of reception issues and random data connection drops

4. Supposedly a random reboot issue

5. Autofocus is all over the place when doing 1080p video recording

6. No stereo sound recording

7. Takes about 3 hours to charge battery from empty

8. Supposedly poor build quality????

9. Maybe GPS not as accurate as other devices????

10. Some claims of overheating

11. It doesn't cook and clean.:eek:

edit: Just to clarify, these are some of the "issues" reported on the forum. My own device has been working perfectly but does suffer from issue 11

[Galaxy S II General] Propergood:
Don't believe everything you read. Buy the phone, it is by a long stretch the best on the market.

Using a UK handset from Carphone warehouse.. Full stock latest version, unrooted. Here is my take on the 'issues';

Battery is fine.

GPS is fine.

Sound is perfectly ample even considering the tiny components it's coming from.

No camera issues experienced.

Did experience some overheating during extended play of graphics intensive games on previous firmwares which now -appears- to be resolved in KF3 and was never unbearable aside from making your thumb sweat a bit if you continued playing through it anyway.

The 1080p recording excellent although it takes a very steady hand due to the zoom level it's fixed at.
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Believe me coming from an Iphone 4 this has been a test for this phone, but I can fully whole heartedly say this is the greatest phone I have ever owned...

GPS - use it for recording my running using Runkeeper, run over 64 Kilometres since beginning of July, half of that distance on an Iphone 4 and half on this SGS2, the results are almost equal, in fact the SGS2 GPS tracking seems slightly more accurate, the fix to Satellites is near on instant, no problems here. 10/10

Battery - OK I have been having my worries and issues with this area, but I'm not sure I am imagining this, but it seems to improve over time, the more I drain/recharge the phone seems to last longer and longer 7/10

Screen - Well all I can say is, a screen any smaller would just not do, OK the Iphone 4's DPI resolution is higher, but the colours and size are simply marvelous on this Galaxy S2 10/10

Sound - Again at first I thought, give me back my Iphone 4, now I have discovered this little button 5.1 on the music player and WOW, in fact I prefer the sound quality through some decent Sony headphones on this to my Iphone4, deep bass, full surround like sounds, alas the external speaker is rather less impressive, but adequate. 9/10

Form factor - Initially I thought do I still have this in my pocket, its so light, but now being able to hold it in front of me reading a book or comic for ages is a delight 9/10

Camera - Again much better than the Iphone4 one, faster start up, superb quality photo's, 360 panoramic built in, lots of effects, you get a brilliant movie creator and image adjustment app built in simply brilliant stuff 10/10

There is so much to learn and do with this device, Android Market is improving all the time and now have most of the apps I loved on the Iphone, just they look so much better on this huge screen, advice = BUY IT:)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I may ask the question - with all this negativity why on earth do you still have this phone, i assume by the number of posts you have your not an Apple fanboy trolling.

This phone is the greatest ever
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
No no no. I my rush I may not have been clear in my post. I have no issues with my device, apart from not cooking and cleaning, it's working perfectly. What I posted was a list of "issues" people are reporting on the forum, some of which are laughable at best. Sorry for any confusion. :(

My 2 cents ...

- Battery , at least with KF3 it is really good...

- Build quality is excellent....as someone was saying this are really myths...

- GPS is really fast for me
[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
Think he has summed it up well , its basically the bes phone you can buy let alone best dual core phone with the least problems etc .

It does have a few probs but nothing major or showstopping . When they came out in may i got a couple and they had terrible screens , yellow tint and vertical lines .

I took them back the next ones were just as bad .

I waited a few months got a couple the other week and the screens are much much better , the tint is there but you cant see it in everyday useage , my others you could . I am well happy and its my gadget of choice at the minute .

Coming from symbian and maemo its refreshing and the 1st android device that can finally replace symbian and nokias convergance .

On a side note my battery has been excellent and prob beats my n8 which is pretty good for a smartphone :-) peace mate and good luck with the purcahse :-)

A dead pixel on mine is my only down side, but i'm getting mine exchanged tomorrow, so I guess none? Just look out for dead pixels I guess, though very rare.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Digicel or Lime?
[Galaxy S II General] WeeRuz:
Mine is overheating sometimes. But only when I game heavy for a hour or two.

Battery life is good for a smartphone but I'm not using stock rom.

Other than that it's the best phone I've ever had.

And it takes better macro photos than my Samsung NV20 camera.. (The camera sucks at macro all together but anyways :P )
[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
1-YET

3-Never happened to me..Being using since 2 months now.

4-Some Custom ROM issue, Never on stock.

7-Normally all smart phones do that that much time.

8-Disagree> watch this(here talking about only battery back cover that many people said sucked)

9-Gps never worked better on android.(galaxy s had gps issues,this one seems to have non straight from the box works fine)

10-Due to dual core,Get used to it.

12-That guy was dump not to a physical alarm if his job was so important, I agree to the post in that thread which says they had other reasons to kick him out. Its very odd to kick some one out of job for just one day late entry.

Edit: Out of million gs2 Samsung made those who reported those had the bad built, maybe damaged ones..So the ratio is 100:Millions..

Galaxy s2 is the best device i've seen on android and i recommend it to every one who can buy it :)

Peace ;)

Oh no, I'm in the UK right now. Bought it from a retailer. Called the store about it, and they said they'd change it, just need to drop by tomorrow. Thank god though, since I'm leaving for Jamaica tomorrow.

I wouldn't dare buy a smartphone in Jamaica though, they're too damn overpriced down there. And the latest smartphone they have down there is the galaxy s last I remember. Will take a while before they get the galaxy s 2.

[Galaxy S II General] dsmaori:
Sorry, 1 question. Do they need to be rooted and if so, does '1 click root' work?
[Galaxy S II General] rudolf895:
just use a custom kernel

CF-Root recommended

You'll gain root access also will get CWM recovery

So 1 click root doesn't work? I'm a real noob when it comes to custom kernels and flashing roms etc so if 1 click root works I'd prefer to use that since I've done that before. If CF-root is the only or best way to go though I'll give it a whirl.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
CF-root is the best way, and its piss easy.

1) flash rom

2) flash CF-root kernel

3) ????

4) root

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lightninjay:
Does this rom have the same problem as the other Gingerbread roms regarding the clock app being deleted by the rom or no?

I'm assuming so since I read that it was an official OTA issue and isn't this just debloated OTA?

Any reply is appreciated, I'm interested in giving this rom a run, just wanted to see if anybody could answer my question before I take the plunge as I just got my inc2 today (coming from the OG inc) and rooted it. This will be the first rom I load on it.

I like the customization of CM7 but the simplicity of HTC's software has a draw too.

Thanks very much for this release!

EDIT: does anyone know how to prevent the phone from automatically shutting down to install an update once it's been downloaded? I want to backup my text messages/contacts before i restore my last recovery backup.

Has anyone had problems with their phone stuck on a black screen with an exclamation point inside a triangle with a little green android underneath?

This just happened and it looks like verizon tried to push some update to the phone. I turn on the phone and after about 20 seconds it says 'powering down' and then it tries to load some package and fails and goes to the aforementioned screen.

Looks like i'll have to backup to my last recovery backup of the rom, but just wanted to see if anyone else has hit this.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonesyjonez:
Just to post an update, if anyone else hits this, just go into recovery mode and clear your cache. Next time you boot the phone it'll say the update failed, just click cancel to prevent it from trying again.

Since you can install this, you are obviously rooted. If the clock starts acting up, you can use the free titanium backup to unfreeze it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] coffeedragon:
So let me make sure I understand. You flashed this ROM onto a GSM Incredible S? I thought the framework on the Inc2 and IncS were too different to be able to interchange their ROMs.

No sir, not on the incS. I have an inc2 but am relying on the GSM capability since I am traveling in asia.

[Desire General] TheBlueRaja:
Hey all,

My phone has developed the boot loop issue and im going to return it to HTC for repair.

I had it running with Cyanogen and have also tried it with Leedroid and despite full formats, wipes, changing sim, removing SD card it still boot loops.

Leedroid is currently installed but i was wondering if i should return it to stock before sending back to HTC (its not S-OFF).

Im downloading RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe from http://shipped-roms.com as its a vodafone UK phone.

Anyone know? Do they care?
[Desire General] Deeco7:
It's essential to revert back to your original Stock ROM as its voiding your Warrqnty, therefore if you return it back to HTC for repair they will instantly reject and send it back to you.

I'd advise you to make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM and SD Card and revert everything back to Stock.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
They might not care - but on the safe side I'd say return it to stock.

at least then they won't send you a bill
[Desire General] TheBlueRaja:
Yeah,

I've seen some who send it back and its not been a problem. The problem is its not stable enough to flash the stock rom without it rebooting.

Does anyone know where i can get a stock rom image that doesn't need the HTC installer, like the ones on shipped-roms do?

I can flash from recovery no bother, but the phone wont stay up long enough to flash a stock image once loaded, which you need to the stock installer to work.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
flash from recovery being clockwork or something?

that'd be a sure fire way of having modded it :P

what about fastboot flash?
[Desire General] TheBlueRaja:
Its cool,

I managed to get it stable with an basic Oxygen mod then flashed the stock Vodafone rom from there.

Its currently rebooting like crazy even with stock.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Why not use the 2.33.161.2 Vodafone UK RUU?

http://www.multiupload.com/K0FR1OK301
[Desire General] TheBlueRaja:
I would have done if it was on the site i mentioned, i wasnt aware of that version.

It doesn't really matter anyway - its completely stock now so HTC should be fine with it.
