Which is why we take a phone that is known to have strong Wifi performance, such as an iPhone 4 or an Inspire, and compare in the same house under the same circumstances with the same router using Wifi analyzer.

Trust me if the sgs2 was in the states I would have already done it 15 times.
[Galaxy S II General] jimbiye:
Maybe I should have added some screenshots

On my previous post I mentioned that my SGS2 was doing better than my previous SGS. I just ran a quick test for you.

Here is what I get out side in the parking lot about 25~30 meters from my apartment.

I don't how this compares to other devices, but my point was that my SGS did not give me any wi-fi trouble, and my SGS2 seems to work even better.

Edit: Left screenshot is SGS2 and right screenshot is SGS.
[Galaxy S II General] jimbiye:
Inside the room

For comparison sake:

In the room about 12 feet from Router here is what I get.

Again my SGS2 seems to do slightly better than my SGS.
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
Excellent! Now this is quality information! Thank you for taking the time to post this for us.
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
Even though I don't care personally, but where these in the palm of your hand or laying on something? Better we give as much info as possible so we can put this to rest :)

Again thank you, this has been the best info I've seen yet.

My SGSII gets better wi-fi signal then my old SGS, however it still could be improved.

[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
I've had 2 phones since day 1 (first phone was RMA for dead pixels) and both didn't have any issues with wifi. @home wifi-n router and @work wpa-eap.

Been following this phone from way before and haven't heard much about wifi issues. Wifi is adifficult subject as it also depends on the hardware and environment. For instance I had an old router before and my phone was just connecting fine but my laptop had reception issues. Changed to a wifi-n router, solved. Even something simple as a microwave or a cctv.system can destroy your signal, so it's hard to make judgments solely on people saying they can't get good reception.
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
And then there are these reports..... I don't get it.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
yay another troll thread

also you should just go read the other half dozen wifi threads

My wifi is definitely fine and db readings were posted there. It seems like certain type/brand/model of router is affected
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
I'm in the uk,and yes, mine would be one of the first batch.

Regarding the people that experience poor wifi, have they changed wifi channels, what signal(2.4 or 5ghz) is their wifi signal? And are they using a d-link router? So many variables.

I just read an announcement on phandroid right now that says the US s2 will have a fricken slide out keyboard. If this is true this whole Wifi thing won't matter because I wont touch this phone with a 10 foot pole.

Guess ill have to wait for the HTC Holiday if this turns out to be true.

I could probably order an s2 from Canada or the UK that has the right bands for ATT but I was hoping to use my discount because my contract is up.
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
using dlink router. in my room S2 has 90% strenghth, my n8 n omnia hd 100.

in our kitchen s2 on 60, n8 n omnia hd on 75 %.,

in my garden n8 n omnia on 40% while s2 is unable to locate my router, my neighbour gets 30 % strenght on his x6 while my s2 is unable to detect my router when i m at his home

s2 has the worst wi fi. i hate s2 for this

While taking the screenshots, I had to hold each phone in my hand to press the buttons combination.

Also, I use rubber case for both phones...but I don't know if that affects the results or not as far as me holding it in my hand.

Edit: Just to add info, here is the router I use : Cisco Linksys E2000.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
On the same distance my netbook can get a signal, im not counting the bars im testing functionality. The S2 does not even see the router in range. I've been using the laptop for about 3hrs on the same spot and still the S2 does not see the router. My conclusion is that my netbook may have a longer range or the S2 just has shorter or regular range. Probably a different modem file could also affect it.

I would like to test other modems but Ive yet to see someone upload them by region specific.
[Galaxy S II General] jimbiye:
That's why I suspected some people might have defective units... there has been quite a few threads with where people had wi-fi issues.
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
What band are you using on the router? Do you have the latest updates for your s2?
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
Thank you for the added info, every little bit helps.
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
Have any other smartphones to test it against or perhaps a friend that can come over? Also can you use Wifi analyzer to check the dBm?
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
Its either this or severe router compatibility issues.

There's a small chance the s2 has a big problem with channel interference. Maybe it doesn't properly switch to the least congested channel.
[Galaxy S II General] JohnDoe01:
It would be a good idea to check who is posting with Wifi issues in this thread before accusing them of trolling.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBowermaster:
What you need to do is put a blank file called ".nomedia" in the folder with your maps. What is happening is the tablet is scanning for media and in the process, deleting your files. The .nomedia file prevents scanning of that directory.
[Milestone XT720 General] rugebiker:
Hello, i have looked over the forum but I couldnt find the answer. I want to know how can I add swap space to my phone? Searching for something else I found that smoeone said: Ram is 70-90mb with the swap fastboot kernel. So how can I do this?

thanks
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
To use swap you first need to have a ROM which is swap enabled. Most of the ROM's on this forum have swap support. After that you need to partion your SD card such that it has either an EXT2 or EXT3 partion. Discussion on sizes are variable. I use 91 MB. After that you need to download the swap kernel. Because of the locked bootloader you are unable to flash the kernel and have to fastboot it through USB using the fastboot commands. The only problem with this is that you have to fastboot into the kernel each time you turn your phone off which is a problem for some. You can refer to this thread for further instructions. And do read around everything is already available on this forum.

Hi,

I have 200+ apps. Seems most get refreshed weekly.

How can you set the auto update flag on all apps to 'on' by default? I am tired of having to set that flag manually... and it gets lost on wipes.

Cheers!

Ah, thank you, interesting answer. I actually use titanium backup. I know it can 'preserve market links', which is the option I used. The problem with the auto update flag remains.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyp007:
I just got off the phone with a very nice lady from t-mobile executive care and she told me that the official update just got to them last Wednesday and after hearing about all my problems she offered me a G2x with the software update on it and she said it would be here by the end of the week. So T-mobile is rolling out the software update soon she told me and I was so shocked she would even tell me this information. A weird part though is she said she could do the multiple exchange for the G2? That was pretty weird haha:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
duno man... too many stories thus far
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyp007:
well

well i hope she was right because I am receiving the new g2x this week with the update:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
No one is going to believe you. The only thing you can do is post screens of the software version etc. once the phone arrives.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Which is really a shame, because after all of this hoopla, we still have no gingerbread kernel, no nvidia drivers, and no lg camera application...and if what we have right now ends up being the official gingerbread update for our phone from t-mobile, then we really don't have much more to hope for.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] khaos12:
Lets hope that she is right and the real update is going to be out. Hopefully this leak isn't another reason to stall it. Am I the only one who thinks the LG camera app was a culprit here? you cant advertise a phone with 1080p recording then remove it in an update because you couldn't get it to work anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
It just seems unlikely to me, if LG put out an update that does NOT include their very own camera application, that T-mobile will include the LG camera. And the overall attitude I'm getting for various representatives at T-mobile is that of "take it or leave it." I'm getting the feeling that they are already taking a defensive stance and we pretty much have the best that we're going to get out of them.

We are on our own.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyp007:
.

well if you dont believe it dosen't bother me at all because i know what she told me and when t-mobile sends me the official gb update on the replacement i will upload pics and vids for everybody to see because many people think its still far and i just wanted to share the info i got
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
anybody notice that in the pic on this page http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/t-mo...en-shot-2011-07-25-at-4-18-29-pmwtmk0000wtmk/ it say's "the other cool stuff is still there" and it mentions 1080p video recording?

so, maybe, v21e is not "official"?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I believe you...I just say, "who cares" about an official T-mobile update? We already have the update. And unless something miraculous happened at T-mobile over the past 5 days, then this "official" update is going to be the same that we have...do you think they re-wrote LG's code? They got sent the update for testing...if they are releasing it 5 days later, then it's a pretty good bet that there were no changes to the test update.

Of course, I've been wrong about plenty in my life. But my prediction: "official update" will be the same garbage that the "unofficial" (which was "officially" released by LG already) is, with no LG camera, and no GB kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
then that would be false advertising because the specs are listed as 1080p video recording. or does the updated gb record in 1080p? haven't tested yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Yeh, I just saw that picture that was linked above my post, and I noticed the 1080 video recording spec listed. I certainly hope that I'm wrong...because I love that LG camera so much more than the aosp version. They are just not even in the same league. But even more important than the camera, would be an updated kernel. Ahhh, what a pleasant fiction. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cenwesi:
you think updated kernel will fix the A2DP issues with some BT?

PS: i just got to ask :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Who knows...I could have sworn I read a dev post once that even with a new kernel, they would still be handcuffed without Nvidia making their drivers available. But perhaps it would be another little extension to the bridge. For instance, Nvidia might be more willing to make drivers for a GB kernel available AFTER we are actually supposed to have it. Remember, technically, we still don't have gingerbread on our g2x, so there's really no reason for them to do any extra work on that end. But I'm entering an area that I know little about, and the more I type, the more unfounded opinion I'm spewing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
so the camera app is that big of a deal? really?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Yes, it is! Really!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I 2nd this. Why introduce a feature and then downgrade? The LG camera is definitely much more aesthetically pleasing and it has more functions than stock camera.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
The Atrix has GB and A2DP works (haven't seen any complaints that it doesn't) in addition to it being 2.3.4...so someone over at Nvidia kicked it into high gear and released A2DP drivers and did something to get over the lack of NEON so that they could get FFC video via Gtalk to work. I would be very disappointed if LG didn't incorporate these changes into their GB ROM but if the ROM they "released" is the ROM we're getting...:rolleyes::mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bkrill:
YOu mean false advertising like the time they posted on their website and claimed the G2X was quad band and worked on at&t and then when the phone was released no one could get it to work.

Ya i wouldn't put it past them to say they are including 1080p in the update only to later say "sorry mistake"
[HTC Sensation] mikaeldalc:
When I'm charging the banker battery, the notification will go green so I think its fully charged. But I've noticed that when I unhook the cable and use the phone for a while, then plug it back in, the notification light lights green. So I'm wondering, does the light turn green for the banker battery at a certain level even though its not fully charged?

Should I let it sit on the charger a couple more hours after the light turns green?
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Charge it til it turns green, then turn the device off and charge it for another hour with it being off and it will be fully charged. This is known as bump charging, but does decrease the long-term life of your battery if it is done too often.
[HTC Sensation] eliexda:
+1 to that!
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
try this: charge battery until the LED turns green. Unplug & then wait until your battery is no longer showing 100% before you try to plug it back in. Mine will show 100% for a while before going down in percentage.
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
I thought android phones showed green at some point in the 90 percentile range? So if your at 98% it will still be green.
[HTC Sensation] SplitCold:
From what I understand because of the old battery the phone thinks that the capacity of current battery is the same. So unless you rooted your phone and wiped battery stats, you are not reaching the full potential of your battery. Unless you turn off your phone and let the hardware judge when the battery is full.

I'm having some trouble with GPU performance with my Epic 4g on stock EC05 with the Genocide 2.0 kernel.

From my research I conclude that I should be getting ~45-50 fps in nenamark1 v1.6 at stock clocks.

My device can only push out 38fps at 1000mhz and 40fps at 1300mhz - something is wrong here.

I have tried the Syndicate frozen 1.2 rom with the Genocide kernel and achieved the same results. I have since gone back to stock rom.

Does any one have any ideas as to why I am getting such low scores.

ok srf 1.2 oc'ed to 1.4. are you sure your actually overclocking? download a program called cpuspy and see if your actually hitting 1.3

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dooms33ker:
yes, 41.5 fps max at 1.3ghz Something is wrong. shadow Guardian is fairly choppy as well.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Which Governor? If using "conservative" I don't think it tops 1000 or 1120 even if overclocked to 1400 unlsee you use the very first Voltage Control. Rodderik doesn't support the new Voltage Control or SetCPU. I brought this up to him a while back. He said to use the Voltage Control in the OP of his thread. Just trowing thoughts out there...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dooms33ker:
I only know how to change the governor with setcpu, I don't see a way to do it with voltage control.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dooms33ker:
My CPU is fine I think. SetCPU also works fine to change the governor. Running the short bench, the lowest result on stock was about 181 ms. Overclocked to 1.3ghz I got 136 ms.

I'm also getting great speed in CPU intensive applications like the n64 emulator n64oid. GPU limited apps like Shadow Guardian and Quake 3 aren't doing as well.

I wonder if my gpu is somehow on power save mode (if that's possible)

Can someone compare their setCPU short bench results to my score of 136 ms?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnowdapowda:
More or less what I'm getting. I doubt your gpu is gimped man. And your cpu is deeply integrated with your gpu. Don't think of it like a desktop setup think more like a laptop. Where the gpu is supplemented by the cpus power. 41-44 fps would be normal for 1.3 ghz. What I get at least.

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dooms33ker:
I know a hell of a lot more about notebooks than I do about android phones, and even integrated graphics chips are independent from the CPU. Sure they may be manufactured on the same silicon with the cpu but they can be clocked independently (and even turned off).

The problem with the epic - and android by extension - is that you don't have direct access to the GPU or its driver. I've read that some kernels for certain phones can allow you to overclock the GPU; though none exist for the epic. An yes, I know about chainfire3d, and it's not really a 'driver'.

At least battery life is good for me...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
As far as I know, this might be exploitable in GB, which is why you are running into problems.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dooms33ker:
can you please elaborate?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnowdapowda:
What you said about graphics chips might be true.. But it still doesn't change what I said. The problem is not with your gpu. Its with your settings. You may prove me wrong, but what I said is that your gpu directly relies on your cpu. That's why you get a better framerate when you overclock more. Chainfire has nothing to do with this.. I'm sure you know this but its purpose is to fool games by converting "commands" for a certain gpu into another and downsampling textures, etc so that they can run more efficiently on our chips. Ask anybody else what they're getting on that bench and they'll tell you similar numbers at the clocks we discussed. Btw I'm not sure but I think the gpu drivers for our phones might be closed source. Which would explain why oc'ing our gpu would be impossible without custom ass drivers built from the ground up.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parios:
HTC Trophy. Sick phone.

-Griffin CEO of Parios
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbbrack03:
Right. I was aware of that one, but I was looking more into phones that could be flashed with WP7. Maybe a windows 6.5 based phone that can be upgraded. I'm not due for an upgrade at the moment and I need to buy a decently cheap phone. So I was making sure that there weren't any other phones for Verizon that could possibly be flashed to run WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazinga:
The only phone that can be flashed to run WP7 is the HD2 (that I am aware of) and it is a GSM so I'm afraid unless your on AT&T or T-Mobile, you'll have to stick to the Trophy.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confrontation:
The only phones that can have WP7 flashed to them are phones that are released with WP7 on them (for now at least) all BAR the HTC HD2 as that is just a beast of a phone that has had Android and WP7 portered to it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Windows Phone 7 has strict hardware requirements that pretty much make any Windows Mobile 6.5 phone and below incompatible with it. Even the HD2 does not follow the exact guidelines, but it is the only phone that has a working Windows Phone 7 port and its likely going to be the only phone with a Windows Phone 7 port since the hardware is similar to a current Windows Phone 7 device out (HD7).

Verizon only has the Trophy, and that is your only option if you stick to Verizon.

Judging by your post, I'm guessing you haven't done too much research on Windows Phone 7, so if you are looking to "upgrade" from a Windows Mobile 6.5 based device, make sure you read up on the major differences between the two operating systems. They are in no way similar at all aside from the name. And as most people have found out when thinking that Windows Phone 7 is an "upgrade" to Windows Mobile 6.5, they become terribly frustrated by some of the changes and downright disappointed because they don't understand the differences between the two operating systems.

Windows Phone 7 is not an "upgrade". Its an entirely new mobile operating system. Keep this in mind.
