[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decaturguy:
Hi!

My first post :)

Why not? I just bought mine a week ago and I'm keeping it for at least 5 years. Before SGS2 i had (still have it) Nokia N70 i got it in 2006, its a great phone very reliable and works just fine but very slow compared to SGS2. Before the Nokia i was one of those guys who changes phones every 8-12 months. I thinks it best to invest in a good phone and keep it for 3-5 years. I have most of my old phones at home and they still work, the oldest is Nokia 3210 from 199?. Hehe good old days.

Obviously my statement was referring to the previous Iphone generations and telling him to wait for the Iphone 5 . Can't be worse than the previous ones, can it ? Do you think i'm Steve Jobs undercover ? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daivik:
Please people don't just assume the GS2 is junk because it's made from plastic...

You drop light plastic it has minimal force, and hence the chance of a crack is minimal.

You drop glass it picks up momentum and it has a higher change of cracking.

The GS2 will easily last 4 years. It's actual build quality is superb. have you heard many reports of squeeking or dust under the screen?

But if you want a phone to last that long...I'd wait till next year when quad cores come out. Because I really don't see phones going beyond quad cores...seeing as PC's have only just got past that step. (and even now, only very few and VERY VERY EXPENSIVE PC's actually have the i7's with more than 4 physical cores)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decaturguy:
Well said, You took the Words right out of my mouth. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSopranos16:
OP, what is the reason that you want the phone to last so many years? Is it for cost purposes? If so, you are probably best off buying a year old phone on ebay every year or two instead of a top end phone every 4 years. You can get a original Galaxy S for less than half the price of the S2. Then next year, you can sell that for a bit less and get the S2 on ebay. If you buy a year old phone every year and keep flipping them on ebay, in 4 years, you'll probably spend the same or less as you would on an S2 and your phone will never be more than a year or two old. Buying the best (S2) isn't really ever the most economical decision, we just do it b/c we want the best and are prepared to upgrade in a year or two.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kblavkalash:
I don't think it's worth waiting for quad cores cause dual core on GS2 can do pretty much everything we need. Also I don't plan to play games on smartphone, cause they all look like 10 years old :D

I don't want a used phone from ebay.

I mean I could buy a GS1 but after a year or two it will be quite outdated and I would need to change it anyway, but GS2 should be quite good in upcoming 2 or so years. I really care about perfomance and people say GS2 is very smooth and does not lag at all. If that's true I see no reason why I can't use this phone for 3-4 years. If the screen will at until then of course :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oleost:
I have not read the entire thread.

But I would suggest buying iPhone 5 when it comes out. The iPhones have always had a long lifetime, when considering updates and support from developers.

I myself have this phone, but I doubt that it will be supported that long. Just look at the iPhone 3gs, still 99% up to date, all that I can think of is wifi sharing. (That you can get if you jailbreak)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kblavkalash:
I will never ever buy an iPhone and one of the reasons is that its price is unreasonable high.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
I think the design of this phone will not show wear as there are no shiny bits to chip. As for the screen it will probably still be OK. The dual core CPU and decent GPU will easily handle the basic stuff 3-4 years from now. Dual core will be the standard and quad will be bleeding edge. I get the sense you're not a bleeding edge gamer so it should be just fine performance wise. Some folks make the comment to buy spare parts on Ebay, but that isn't an option for 95% of the world's population that lives outside of the dying empire, but the fact they've already sold millions in less than 3 months says there will be parts whenever you need them. The most likely fault comes as a question: how is your present phone's battery? I'm impressed if a L-ion battery still has piss and vinegar in it's 4th year. So in a perfect world you'll still have a "classic" in 4 years. It'll still get respect, and will maybe even be able to run "strawberry shortcake" or whatever the dessert of the moment is then, as it has 1 gig of memory and a good SoC. Think how many times you've done your Nokia wrong over it's life, and figure this one, because it has glass and is thinner might not take abuse as well. So if you take care of your phones, sure... why wouldn't it still be a good 'ol phone in 4 years?

And as for the iphone, if the new one is all glass I gotta think it would fare worse than this phone over the long haul, plus as you said "the apple tax." The 3G iphone is a slug with the latest versions so will a 4yo iphone be the same? probably not if it's dual core, but one thing's for certain, you'll have to change the battery and apple'll stick it to you for the privilege of having them change it for you!

i thought i noticed that the EVO 3D had a hard plastic cover aswell
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Podgo:
iPhone...iPhone....some of you cant see around you.

There is not just iPhone in this world.

Besides this Apple has just one phone to develope, but Samsung, Nokia,.....have a lot of phones for different users. So it is easier to keep 2-3 iPhones updated than let say 30 Samsung phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Podgo:
I would suggest buying Galaxy S3 when it comes out....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crush:
If one wants to keep it for 3-4 years surely it will stay till that time :D

I love my SGS II

:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodries:
Sure

:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
My vote still goes for an Iphone4 or 5 when its out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesith:
Sgs2 is great. I think if you look after it, it will be fine in the future. Although there are no certainties about anything. Good luck with the choice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tygoger:
I think 4 years is a stretch. 2 years it will last I think. After that it will get defects like so many electronic devices.

In a trying to build Hebrew translated rom I was trying to to decompress my atrix system.apk but using apk manager but I'm having an errors over and over again and decompressing fails.

Any lead from devs will be helpful.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] malfuncion:
You will more than likely have to decompile using option 10 (using dependencies). Are you pulling and including dependency files when you decompile?

You will have to post more information about your error before anyone can help you out. Sorry ;/
[Atrix 4G Android Development] idan_mo:
i get this error: "An Error Occured, Please Check The Log (option 21)".

when i'm trying option #10 it asks me to drag some file, i only want to modify the strings, so which file should i drag to the window?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pupseline:
Hi there,

Im fiddeling with the BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DESIRE HD ROM. Most things working tremendous :) but the apps :confused:.

After searching the formus for a few hours now I am here asking my question, since I got no hint up to now.

In "All Apps" most apps which should be in there aren't displayed. (thread says App in rom: Adobe reader, Blocked callers, caculator, cenlendar, call history, camcorder, camera, clock, connected media, desk clock, DSP manager, Face book, file manager, flashlight, FM radio, friend stream, gallary, gmail, google seach, HTC hub, HTC likes, internet, latitude, lean more, mail, maps, market, messages, music, navugaton, news, new & weather, peep, people, phone, places, search people, super use, talk, transfer data, twitter, videos, voice recoder, voice search, weather, wifi hotspot, you tube, settings, setup, stocks, SIM toolkit).

No HTC hub, HTC likes, Adobe stuff, gmail and most others. The list of apps present is shorter...

I set up the ROM after a full wipe using 1 GB data2SD. Tried V16, V19, V20. Allways the same prob.

Anyone a hint?

Thanks in advance :D

Hello Guys

A few days ago I updated to F1 Galaxy S2 (with all fixes). After that with some applications i got some freezes and I had to wait till reboot or pull out the battery. Today it happened again and he won't boot after all. He gets in the Galaxy S II bootscreen. En there he freezes. I have done a factory reset (CwM). Then it will boot but after the introduction screen of android he force close proces.android. The second boot will do the same thing as told herefore. In the bootscreen, you can lock the screen, and adjust volume.

Galaxy S GT-i9000

F1 Galaxy S2

Darkcore 2.7.2

What should I do?

Thank you

Sorry for bad english
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holdz:
I think you should flash a stock 2.3.4 and that will probably fix your issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
Had this issue before. Just flash in a stock ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hristov1:
Download Odin if have messed up so badly flash stock or enter recovery mode with the three button combination and do full wipe. Data, Davlik and Cache.

Hi All,

Is there a scheduler app available that I can use to schedule Bluetooth during the week? AKA, BT turns on from 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM (when I leave for work) and then again from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (when I go home from work).
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
http://www.techabdul.com/with-wirel...pp-schedule-wifi-bluetooth-mode-can-be-onoff/

Or go to Market and search "wireless scheduler" and there is a lite and full version.
[HTC Sensation] smacman:
For this type of automation and more, I suggest a program called Tasker. Tasker is actually the primary reason why I am an Android user.
[HTC Sensation] vetsje:
automatit is good and free
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
+1 for tasker
[HTC Sensation] mollybc:
I use an app called llama that does all that and more. I use it to trigger bluetooth and wifi on a daily basis. Works great.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
Hi, i purchased a galaxy s from a guy in the boozer yesterday, He seemed really genuine and said it was an unwanted upgrade, It came with all leads, books, box everything.

Anyway, it turns out its been blacklisted (insurance job?).. Looking back it was a dodgy decision, but it was a good deal so i just did it lol.

Anyway, i doubt i can unblacklist it without breaking the law so im thinking of selling it on ebay or something as spares / parts, Or to a buyer from outside the UK.

Is this illegal to do ? because i assume the phone has been reported lost/stolen. Am i at risk of 'handling stolen goods' ?

I just want to get a bit of money back for it, so its not so much of a disappointment.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Take it back to the pub and smack the guy over the head till it breaks.

No more disappointment.

I would not resell it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
If you did unblacklist ift who would no and keep it your self
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazevxi:
The mobile company?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
well in order to unblacklist it, i will need to change the imei, possibly to the same imei as my other samsung galaxy so the mobile companies dont smell a rat.

but in the UK fiddling with the IMEI can cost you a 5 year prison sentence lol, i would rather count my losses than get bummed in the showers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazevxi:
Your first mistake was buying in a pub.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
haha yea i know, but after a few beers, some cash burning a hole in my pocket, and a really *nice* geezer doing me the deal of the decade.. i was lured in lol

oh well **** happens...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
Return it to the mobile company and explain how you got it. Or put out a "found" ad. When someone calls ask for the imie number, they can get it from their provider. At least this way there is a small chance of reward, as long as you don't ask for it, then it's ransom. :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DT3CH:
Hhaaha +1

**** this 10 char ****.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] badmanben:
It's illegal to even have it in your posession, if you're unlucky enough to be caught out you would be arrested for minimum handling stolen goods! If I was you I'd just use it as an iPod or if you have any family/friends abroad ask if they want to buy it. Just leave out the part about it being classed as stolen in britain haha.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
looks like i will do that... shame, its a good phone too. not to worry, ive still got my sgs this was just a spare lol

EDIT: I have rang vodafone, they said it had been reported stolen, (so it must of been stolen before i bought it) so ive told them my situation, they are going to find its original owner, And i got some money reduced off my bill for doing a nice thing lol.

I may be down in cash but ive done the right thing i think. Its a bit useless if i cant use it as a phone. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
Hopefully you have a warm glow of satisfaction too!

Shame about being down on cash too, but sometimes important lessons cost money to learn. Hopefully your story will have saved others tempted to make the same mistake too, so that might give you another warm glow.

Thank you for sharing your story with us, and thank you for the inspiration you shared by having integrity!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
It may look like the phone isn't "on" but it is. The same thing has happened to me before, as long as your USB cable is plugged in and Odin is open, you'll see on the left side of the screen (under ID) it'll be yellow and say COM#. You'll be able to flash a ROM onto your phone.

I recommend you try the new gingerbread rom leak (KG4):

the odin doesnt show yellow its white.even when i put on charger still no light or charging icon or any light etc.its totally dead.is it hardware problem or bootloader problem?.it doesnt turn on at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] killajerv0129:
when you plug your phone into odin does it say COM:4 or whatever number there is under that box which it does all the rfs converting and stuff if it recognizes you phone its good so unplug your phone from the computer and mayber try another usb port and plug the usb back in computer hold down vol up and down and same time and plug in usb should put you in download mode
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Listen to this man the instructions he its giving you is right...concentrate on odin and the com port

From a sammy with no hammy only jammy..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Try doing a battery pull first. Then put the battery back in, hold down vol + and -, then plug in the usb cable. That should get you going.

Hi,

i've a problem with 3g/2g mobile data connectivity: if i use a data connection switching utility, like APN on/off, Widgetsoid, Toggle Data, etc., when i switch off data connection, the small 3g icon on notification bar is visible, and i can switch on data connetion again, without problem.

But switching off data connection and let phone to go to stand-by (sleep), after a few minutes, the 3g icon disappears from notification bar, and from that point, i'm unable to switch on data connection with the switching utility anymore. The only solution is to switch Airplane Mode on and off.

On my previous phone (Samsung SGS) i haven't experienced such bug. Do you have any idea regarding this?

I've already tried more ROMs (BlazeDragon, Modaco FR19, Modaco leaked GB) and many basebands (218, 502, 622), but the issue has happend everytime.

Greeting!

I have this little question about the dual touch functionality on the X10 mini E10i , it seems like you guys have found some solution to make it work on the X10 and the X10 mini PRO but not on the X10 mini , I'm just wondering is it a hardware limitation that prevent the development of a new driver ? I mean is it the X10 Mini screen that does not allow Dual touch?

also I would appreciate if someone can provide me with the last version of the fake dual touch fix for the X10 mini E10i.

Thank you in advance :)
