[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drreality:
ok let me say my experience:

after buying the sgsII over the original, I can confirm that all the pros which people claimed r true :D:D:D

what is the difference between pentium 3 and 4? its nothing but the speed and performance.

having said that I gave sgs+cm 7 to my wife and she is pretty happy with it :)

this phone is not dead .....yet

so does the big question is SHALL U GUYS UPGRADE ??

I got my phone by a contract upgrade cause I needed to get a contract anyway ;);)

I am paying £27 for free phone+300min+unlimited sms+500mb on O2

but if I dont have the upgrade yet I would stay patient for couple of months waiting for the prices to fall.

Summary: this phone is a big leap on the old one, ull c the improvements in every single element :D. However, its worth holding ur breaths for a short while

I owned the S1 for 11 months, Initially I never thought the S2 would really offer anything better apart from the bigger screen and 50% more subpixels which is not noticeable anyway, but when I got the phone the speed difference is just amazing and I've decked out the SGS1 with tweaks (OneNAND mode / SpeedMod / 1.4Ghz OC) The difference is just so huge, w/o using the S2 you can say that the S1 is pretty smooth but once you start yung the S2 you can really say that the S1 was just fooling you in terms of smoothness. Multi tasking is awesome on the phone, no waiting time when switching between apps/tasks the phone is actually waiting on you. Its pretty impressive and worth the jump for me.. Imagine this is running on an OS with almost no dualcore optimizations..

The only edge the S1 has over the S2 is the quality control of the screen on the S1 is far far better than the S2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jobiza:
You mean 25% more sub-pixels? Green, Blue, Red and now with SAmoled+ also Yellow?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
No, it's 50% more.

The SGS is:

R G | B G | R G

The SGS II is:

R G B | R G B | R G B

In both cases, 3 pixels. One has 6 subpixels, the other 9.

For anyone having issues or even a slow GPS on the SGS, take a look at this thread.

This virtually fixed all of my GPS issues just by applying OP's config... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
Dual Core & 1Gb RAM of the SGS2 is very tempting! But because I'm a music fan, I really hate the Yamaha DAC on the SGS2. Tested it a couple of times and it just blows a$$!

SGS1 + Voodoo is so much better!

I'm still waiting for the next batch of SGS2 that will have Wolfson DAC in it and probably 1.4Ghz Processor & bigger internal memory!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrithan2020:
I have found that in general these fixes, would increase the locking speed. But, didn't find it to perform very well, when it comes to tracking the device when moving. (maybe, that is the limit of SGS? inside car, with windows closed, there is bound to be quite a lot of attenuation)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
currently using galnets miui on the sgs...I'm also not sure whether or not the upgrade to the sgs2 is worthy (yet) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
For me its the opposite, I was struggling until I applied that GPS fix.

Now the GPS on my SGS is even more accurate than even my Atrix...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaid:
Put them side by side and you won't notice any difference in screen while zoomed out. They increased subpixels, but number of pixels stayed the same, text is not rendered sharper.

So yamaha dac is not the same yamaha dac on sgs1, but so much worse?? Weird..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
My mate has the sgs 2, yeah, it's a bit better, a bit faster but not worth the upgrade cost. It's too big and cumbersome, lacking cool.

I will keep sgs 1 and get sgs 3 in the jan sales! Hope it's not to big!

sgs 1 does everything i need, sgs 3 is meant to offer laptop power, unlike the low powered, uncool sgs 2, ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnicesio:
Well, I´d rather wait one more year and buy the SGS III and spend 500 euros on it. I already had a SGS II on my hands and the phone is really amazing, spectacular :p but at this moment I still like my SGS I and it still suits my daily needs.

And the rumors about the next SGS III are spreading fast, imagine a quad core mobile phone in your hands and 2gb or more gb of memory ram and all the amazing specs it will have... All i know is the phone is going to crush apple for good

I choose to wait one more year, and you people????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkworldz:
Well.. if sgsII Has 6000mAh battery then its worth the upgrade..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Totally agree, without the Wolfson, the S2 just doesn't do it for me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
to be honest the sgs2 with headphones sounds very reasonable to me, using klipsch s4i headphones and PowerAmp
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Tested both SGS & SGS2 using the same track (FLAC) with PowerAmp both on identical settings, using Sennheiser PX100's and HD485's and believe me there was a world of difference. Maybe the SGS2 is fine if you haven't come from the SGS with voodoo sound, but for me it would be a step down.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
well I had come from the sgs1 with voodoo, guess my ears are different :P well a +1 for the sgs2 is there is no need for an adapter for iPod styled headphones :D anyway Im not saying its fantastic, but for how much music I listen to on my phone its good enough ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaid:
DMD9,

could you post sounds setting you are using? I'll be using SGS as a media player hooked to yamaha amplifier with standalone speakers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Not much to set up really, if you have Voodoo Control Plus, it's pretty simple.

As default it's pretty much set up once you install it. Pics attached.

If you're mainly going to use it with the amp I'd set the Volume limit (option 2, pic 1) to +3, optimal line-out. As for the player, I usually use the Techno preset on PowerAmp, but that's only when I'm out and about, a little extra bass helps to dampen the background noise, plus these days I'm listening to ambient on the Ultimae label. At home though, I listen to everything on Direct setting on my Onkyo.

Don't see the point of using presets when playing through an amp, so if you're using PowerAmp, use the flat preset when connected to your amp. MP3's are ok, but use FLAC or WAV if you want the best possible sound from your set-up.

Get yourself a 32Gb card, class won't really matter if you're only using it for music, I have a 16Gb and it's annoyingly small for FLAC. Here's hoping the S3 will support MicroSDXC, theoretical capacities up to 2TB! Would be a nightmare browsing that much music on a phone though :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
True lol, it's down to the end user's perception, if it sounds good to you that's what really matters. Do you mean that the iPod styled earphones controls are supported? That is a step forward, read a few threads on here where SGS users were trying adapters to get that functionality :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
Well on the SGS many headphones such as the Klipsch s4i and all others with remotes 'made for iPod' would sound extremely bad...this could be fixed with an adapter (which cost $20). Now on the SGS2, there is no need for an adapter and the play/pause (double press to skip and triple to go back song) functions work. Unfortunately the volume + or - doesn't work but better than nothing ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blabla12331:
+1 on this one :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukeSP:
The SGS2 performance is far superior to classic SGS. I try it on my brother phone ahmed I want to sell my SGS right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkMyk:
well we really have a difference in SQ preference!

PowerAmp + SGS2 = sh..t, the music app that comes with it sounds better. believe me, I'm not the only one who noticed it.

I think PowerAmp is not yet customized for SGS2.

[EVO 4G General] yankeeboy254:
I just finished chatting with a Sprint customer support ("expert"), and he confirmed that the bootloader on the EVO 4G (I made sure he understood EVO 4G, NOT 3D), will remain locked.

So, unrevoked, team win, or whoever else, if you can get root for the EVO, you rock. Heroic work you are doing BTW.

So... Yeah... Not the best news... I think my next android phone will be stock google...

Discuss.
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
While that "customer support expert" was talking out of his or her ass, I think its widely known in the rooted community, where bootloaders have never been unlocked, but hacked, that they were never going to unlock the the EVO 4G bootloader. They said Sensation and 3D, and Ill eat my own **** if those are unlocked before the end of the year.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Um HTC stated they will he unlocked next month and alpharevx got s off for both devices.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
I am well aware of those things. HTC wont unlock the bootloaders, and alpharevx hacked them, so I dont see your point?

*Wait, mind linking me to s-off for the 3D? I cant seem to find anything posted...
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
lol @ all the tards stuck with no root on GB lol. Ugh im being such a **** today huh smh.

[EVO 4G General] SComp23:
In for youtube vid
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
The Evo 4G doesnt even have a "locked" bootloader like the sensation and E3D. The sensation and evo 3d have signed and encrypted bootloaders which are nearly impossible to crack unless you find away to disable the key check like Alpharevx has done. The current Evo 4G bootloader is locked in the same way that all previous evo 4g bootloaders were locked. The problem is, the exploit which was used to gain a temporary root shell in the 2.2 firmware (rageagainstthecage) was patched by google in 2.3. So before s-off can be achieved by hacking the hboot they must first find an exploit that allows for temporary root access.
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
lmao! sprint expert? omg. almost every tech on the phone does that! hahahahhaa who the hell would be stupid enough to talk about root with a sprint tech anyway? HE'S NOTING YOUR ACCOUNT THAT you're liking attempting to root your phone! hahhahahaha! They are required to tell you stories that claim that they will always be in control. That little tech IS A TECH ON THE PHONE! HE DOESN'T MAKE ANY choices in the company. hahahhahaha btw

btw

btw.

All females that are hot must contact me for a good spanking. :-D
[EVO 4G General] soldierforchrist2:
-RileyGrant

Except that if I understand correctly, the new bootloader no longer allows the system to be downgraded. Previously you could run any version RUU you wanted; now we're stuck with 4.24.

Also, the EVO bootloader requires HTC signed images as well. I'm curious what is different about it from the 3VO our Sensation?
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
The only thing different is its on the EVO 4G and not the Sensation or 3D...Kinda funny how people say its not "locked". Its always been locked, and just like alpharevx found a way around it on the 3D/Sensation, people have worked around it on the 4G.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Really?? I talk about with them all the time, and almost all of them are using rooted phones, btw, because we talk about ROMS, and stuff
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
What do you mean HTC wont unlock bootloaders? Are you saying its all a big lie? If you can't find a link mentioning that alpharevx got S-OFF for both devices than you are not looking hard enough.
[EVO 4G General] rockingout92:
Lol the only thing good you can get out of sprint tech reps is your MSL number (and i had a rep gladly give me mine yesteray). I talked to HTC and the furthest I could get up to in the chain of command was "tech support", who happily informed me that there is no confirmation the EVO will be included in the devices being unlocked.
[EVO 4G General] thePhoenix117:
I wouldn't ever expect sprint to allow an unlock anyways. They really don't want you to be able to do whatever you want, they only want you to do what they want with the phone. Not to mention getting things like tethering for free and not paying them...umm yeah they like their money.
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
The unlocked scam was put into place to get customers to believe HTC was going to change. BUT IN TRUTH, we won't ever get unlocked phones from them. I find it funny that anyone in here believes we will. Lets get a REAL employee for HTC to give it to us first before we believe it. lol. Just like everyone has said... it will always be locked for our own safety and security. But what I'm hoping they'll do is just unencrypt it. or just give us their key so we can sign it and apply it. :-D

OKAY, I HAVE A PLAN. SOMEONE APPLY FOR HTC and steal the HTC key and quit. :-D
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
I see where s-off is "coming soon". Its not released yet. And no, I dont believe HTC will unlock the bootloaders. Thats just my opinion, I dont want to fight or argue about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
After patiently awaiting s-off so that I can install custom roms, splash screens boot animations etc. I find it ironic that HTC doesn't, in part, want the bootloader unlocked so that people won't screw up their phones. In the mean time, our ADD minds have gone the safe route by...

Pulling out T5 torque wrenches to disassemble our phones to change home key color

Tearing the phone apart to repaint it

Playing with QPST which is not a toy at all (talk about f-ing your phone up) to remove the Sprint banner or change the volume

Using PC's to rip out your MSL key to change Wimax or 3G settings (which is much easier to do now thanks to XDA)

Back to QPST... Changing the PRL if we don't like the new one.

Re-rooting 40x when ad free fails (and it does work just glitchy)

Don't get me wrong, all of these ideas are awesome and I have done all except the physical assault on my 3VO... If s-off isn't here soon, Radio Shack here I come! I need all the wrenches and tape and paint you got.

Lol. I hit the save button on that one.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
At this point I don't think anyone cares anymore who is taking their phone back because there's no s-off or some random minor imperfection, and then starting a thread about it explaining why.
[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
Ok, I can see how the post would read the way you took it. My point was more that the xda community is innovative, creative and curious. And when handcuffed by a bootloader, we find other avenues to fill the void. I think its cool as hell. Like kids trapped inside on a rainy day without their xbox. It wasnt a hurry up s-off rant. But it was an observation that some of this stuff is a lot more dangerous than flashing
[HTC EVO 3D] dirkyd3rk:
Alpharev and team win found s-off, y u no share with world selfish bastards! :rolls eyes:

But for real IPHONE 5 ON SPRINT FTW (hondacop voice)

I already bricked one :D . But randy if you're not satisfied with waiting, no one is stopping you from learning some code and the 3vo schematics. You can help contribute in the development section for beta testing various ideas and attacks on the bootloader. It helps pass the time :p lol
[HTC EVO 3D] el poblano:
You might be waiting longer than a week. Since unrevoked referenced interesting things in the coming weeks on their Twitter, I'd bet we don't see the exploit for at least another week- maybe longer.

[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
MOD please delete thread

For the love of all that is HOLY... I am not returning my phone!!! Where did I ever say that??? I learned how to do many things because of the locked bootloader. QPST etc. Things I never would have learned if I was constantly flashing new roms, keyboards changing boot animations... I'm not asking for a hurry up to s-off, I will wait as long as it takes. All I trying to point out, and failing miserabley, in our spare time some of us are doing things to our phones that can screw them up way more than flashing and copy pasting in system/customize/resource. I haven't bricked my phone once and am enjoying playing with the new ideas and programs I never knew were out there. ****, if I was going to cry about phone returns and alpharev crap I'd go to facebook

Well this junk goes back tuesday.I have a free photon coming on tuesday from sprint to test and keep and after that i get a real phone the SGS2.

this whole ordeal has turned me off.First it was HTC and all the posting asking when when when and then we get a youtube video of S-OFF but since it has been dead.

This phone is nothing special.The screen looks just like the evo if you hold them side by side.Ill be glad to send it back and wait for a real phone.

Development is very slow. Ota updates are worse. Unless you get a gsm model, which you won't with sprint.

Oh I'm still gonna get the GSII when it/if it comes out. Hopefully won't be too long if you believe this: http://www.androidcentral.com/samsu...s-expect-galaxy-s-ii-us-august?style_mobile=0

Up until recently I walked around with both the OG Evo 4G & Epic 4G so now I'll just have their upgrades. I never said it was gonna blow the Evo 3D or HTC out of the water. Now most of the reviews have it being the best Android phone to date but you can't always go by that, plus I favor HTC/Sense over Samsung/TouchWiz. The 3D is a great phone. Granted I wasn't blown away by it like I was with the OG Evo but that was just me & my high expectations I put on it. I like the phone and will love it when I can satisfy my flashing addiction.

I was thinking of someone else then sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
what i see here is
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Ok i have found out as of late if you disagree with someone you are a troll.LOL so i do not like the EVO 3D i did not like this wait on Root.I just do not see the big difference in the looks of the phone besides the 3D.I am not talking about speed.Yes it has dual core so it is much faster then the Evo but i am talking about the looks of it.

The Photon i careless about root on it.I am getting it FREE IN 2 DAYS from sprint ahead of it's release as long as i report how i feel about it.After the 45 days ill sell it and by then the SGS2 the real phone will be out.

But you like the EVO 3D so that is you and i hope you remain happy with it.But in resell value it has tanked faster then any phone.

When you can go on ebay and get a new never opened evo 3d for $325 that is sad.It cost $220 after taxes plus you have to use your upgrade and sign a new 2 year deal.

The EVO held value a lot longer.So again i am not trolling.I am doing what i posted and this will e best for me.Some of you who stick with this crap phone feel different and you can.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
there is still no release date for the SGSII ?
