WOW now we're talking. Straight awesomeness there. Can this be apply on every SGS devices? might root my Daughter's Epic just for this. This right here change my whole thoughts on the samoled display.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
lol........good point!
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
That would be sweet. Also, wasn't there some indication that the first version may be CDMA or CDMA/GSM so Sprint could theoretically get it right away? I think I may stick with Nexus devices from here on out; right now the nexus s is quite perfect IMO and they always come with the least amount of BS.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
You gotta ask yourself which OS you like more. From what I've seen you tend to lean towards iOS. I can't help you with that problem but I can suggest that you wait for the next gen iPhone, otherwise you'll likely be disappointed when it does come out and you've already purchased something else and signed a contract.
[EVO 4G General] packattack12:
You hit that dead on.
[EVO 4G General] supdawg:
As sad as it sounds, the crappy camera has stopped me from buying the 3D. I refuse to give my money to a company marketing the next gen device with a completely sub-par camera. It's unacceptable. I use my phone camera almost every day. I've lived with the crappy quality for a long time, but I refuse to upgrade to a phone with the same quality camera.
[EVO 4G General] tlxxxsracer:
If the galaxy SG 2 has a keyboard, i wont even consider it. Whats the point of QWERTY keyboards now? Screens are a great size for onscreen :D Plus keyboards just make the phone thicker. You dont see people with an iphone complaining there isnt a keyboard. :p

I get my upgrade this weekend. To wait for the SG 2 and what it looks like, or pull the trigger on the photon. By the looks of it the photon seems like a powerhouse :cool:

Bad time to be impatient when it comes to technology :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
From what i read about the the next nexus device, google wants to have it across all carriers instead of just 1 or 2 so that means gsm and cdma. Also rumored that htc and LG wanted to do the prime but they chose samsung again. Supposedly shipping with the first 720p super amoled HD screen; One thing thats stopping me from buying the sgs2 is updates. I really only would like to buy a samsung phone if its directly supported by google like the nexus s. I dont expect iphone 5 to even launch this year but until then I might settle for nexus s so i dont have to extend my contract. Cant go wrong with nexus s for 2011 its still holding down the fort and it can be overclocked to 1.4ghz :)
[EVO 4G General] JGW310:
as long as there is no QWERTY, i know i am taking the leap and pre ordering mine for pickup on release day ASAP!!!!!! :D
[EVO 4G General] :
The carriers ****ed up the Samsung Galaxy S and they will with its successor. They should have left it exactly like the European version but Sprint got a keyboard(epic), another had no ffcamera. Just leave it exactly as is. At&t dropped the ball by putting a keyboard on the SGS2. Sprint is gonna do something just because the 3D is their prime phone now. Trust me.

I Haz 3D!
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
I really hope they didn't go with a 4.5 inch screen. The SGSII is the perfect size.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
I'll trade you my epic for the arrive ;)
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
The only thing holding me from upgrading to the SG2 is the Nexus Prime rumors too.....there's no denying a new Nexus will launch before the end of the year, but I'm doubting whether Sprint will get it right away, I would hope so, but hard to to tell.

I would love the SG2, but I would feel regretful if the Prime comes out 2-3 months later and it turns out it does have the 720p screen as well, lol.
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
The Prime is sounding amazing with the 720p super amoled beast of a screen with a quad core processor. But, The SG2 is going to be all I need. Thin sexy profile with a good cmos sensor and the fastest processor as of now. I'll be good for another year. I'll miss my evo though.
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
I'm going to look at the 3D and the SG2 and make my decision. I have really enjoyed the evo community the past year and I'm afraid the development won't be as good at what the Evo had been. Hopefully the bootloader is unlocked and developers will jump on board.
[EVO 4G General] erik077:
Great news. This is only phone that can push me from EVO.
[EVO 4G General] jt513:
Still using my HTC EVO 4g, however some of these new ones that will be rolling out look fantastic! I think I will hold onto my upgrade a little bit longer..(Was thinking about a 3D.)
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
The development for either phones won't be as good as EVO.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Samsung has stepped up every aspect of their smartphone debt.... Including updates. I had two of them in 3 weeks. In June. Another major one is dropping in a week or so.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Be prepared for a pared down Tegra processor.

Also browser doesn't access desktop displays, or reflow text after initial zoom. You might be dissapointed with TouchWiz after Sense. I use launched pro. Hotspotting off my Evo brings aMAzing speeds!! (4G).

Nexus Prime IS breaking November.

Their tablet is running the tegra 2, and there have been hints that the US variants of the sgs2 will as well. We will know soon, this should be announced by next week.
[EVO 4G General] TheSilverStig:
I don't know personally if can be done to EVERY single sgs, but I personally have done it to my friends Epic. The customs roms really increase battery life and performance along with the voodoo fix. Of course there are the risks with rooting but the epic has a one click root that is very easy to use. Head over to the Epic forums and check it out :)
[EVO 4G General] TheSilverStig:
I read that the tegra chips will show up in less important markets and the us and north america market is likely to see the sammy chip. This makes sense because they must have a shortage because of all the phones they are selling and the tsunami messed them up too I think with production.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I'm guessing "non-important" means low sales? I'm wondering how many chips it takes to have an impact. Seems if they can manufacture enough exynos chips for Europe, Aisa, and US then how hard would it be to crank out a few extra hundred thousand (when you are already producing millions) for the "non-important" markets.

I do know this: All 10.1 tabs run the Tegra chip.
[EVO 4G General] MOBGangsta184:
I was excited about the SGS2 when I first heard about it, but after lackluster reviews regarding the camera hardware, I decided that I'll just wait a bit longer and see what else Sprint brings.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
From what I've read it seems like the camera is one of the best things about this phone... What reviews are you referring to?
[EVO 4G General] ncfastls1:
Yea I don't know where you are getting your info from but every review I have read has praised the camera on the S2. The camera on the 3D is a joke, I don't care about 3D and what you're left with after that is a mid range 5 MP camera...
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Actually, the camera on the 3d is pretty good despite the mega pixels.
[EVO 4G General] gr8icu:
I think its funny how almost everyone on the HTC forums want to switch to a Samsung product and just about everyone on the Samsung forums are fed up with their Samsung products and looking for an alternative (I am one of them). Interesting world we live in. The grass is always greener on the other side.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
All Honeycomb tablets run Tegra currently, so that in itself is not enough reason to think the SG2 will have Tegra.

Honeycomb is currently only optimized to run on Tegra 2.

As someone else mentioned, I've read that the SG2 variants receiving the Tegra chip will go to 'less important markets', I'm not entirely sure what that means, but the U.S. is very much an important market to Samsung.

Of course there's still a possibility that we'll get a Tegra 2-equipped SG2, but it seems a little unlikely.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
whats so bad about a tegra 2? at least nvidia supports devs and are hardcore with open source policies while qualcomm is the opposite.
[EVO 4G General] Mr Ian B:
The minute this phone is announced on sprint, i am pre-ordering and dumping my Evo, period.

[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Would you pick the 3d over sgs2? Why?

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
I want this.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Tegra 2 is not all it's cracked up to be, it's a decent processor/gpu, but it's old tech, like, it was literally supposed to be out on the market by the beginning of this year or late previous year, it only just suddenly became adopted, I've read it also has trouble playing back certain type of video codecs, and when compared to the Hummingbird, which was released well over a year ago with the original Galaxy S series, it typically scores about the same or a little lower.

The Adreno 220 in the 3D also bests it in not all, but most areas by a good bit.

Plus Nvidia has been working on Tegra 3 for a while, which does look pretty impressive. It just seems like Tegra 2 almost did too little, too late.

It still seems to work well enough, don't get me wrong, but it's far from pushing boundaries or newer tech. The A5 processor in the iPad 2 also demolishes it entirely.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Meh, we'll see. Samsung is also one of the only manufacturers to make their own processors. It makes sense for other manufacturers to use the tegra, not so much for Samsung. I'm not so convinced by your argument. Nonetheless, processors shouldn't be the biggest concern- radios and antennas should. My nexus gets worse wifi, GPS, 3g, and phone signal than both my evo and e3d; its quite frustrating and seems to be a running trend with Samsung.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Regarding SGS2 camera..I'm decent lighting pics are head and tails better than Evo 3d. Video records in 1080 so of course that's no contest either.

Lowlight indoors like all smartphones requires settings maneuvering to produce good shots.

You can use custom settings on Evo to produce very nice low light shots. Initially I took poor light shots with SG2 and Evo's with settings were better. There are many more settings options on Sg2. After figuring out presetttings the indoor shots were as good...not to much better than Evo 3d

Overall there's no way an SGS2 owner would go to the Evo and say it functions better than SGs2 tho.

Its brilliant.

Only drawbacks: Samsung dumbed down the browser. No desktop useragent settings ...many mobile site displays,can't reflow text after first double tap.

I use boat browser mini...a fantastic browser.

With Launcher Pro, and Voodoo Rom and overclocked to 1.4?...it is an unparalleled Smartphone experience.

Overall
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
I really like the white version. I guess if the white is too much I can always get a case.
[EVO 4G General] CCallahan:
Pretty sure from the FCC pics that the Within will not have a keyboard. I have also read speculations that it might have an upgraded processor (whatever that means).

Someone told me that the SGS2 doesn't have very good battery life. Can anyone verify this?

Just curious....but why no love anywhere for the Motorola Photon? From everything I have seen it looks to be a very nice device. I use my phone for business and I'm considering upgrading to the Photon next week. The webdock feature on this is just plain cool. Being able to use it like a tablet.

However, if the Within comes out in a month or so I might swap to it depending on how it stacks up.
[EVO 4G General] bluefire808:
people get so critical of these devices. i dont think any one here that is saying the tegra 2 is old and crap owns a sgt 10.1 i got mine pulling 3,400 quads and its so smoth its fricken unreal. not to mention android 3.1 is lovely. but seriously the tegra 2 is a great processor. its soo smooth on this 10.1 hd screen can you imagine the FPS it could pump out on a 4.3 hahahahaha mines running 1.6 ghz right now eating anything alive with room for seconds. ohh fyi i still love my EVO like its my first born child :)
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I agree, I personally would rather have a tegra 2 then a dual core snapdragon like on the evo 3D. Tegra 2 overclocked on a xoom is freaking insane. Plus i love what nvidia is doing for developers that make games. Nvidia releases source and drivers soon as they update them; the really love the dev community. I dont know much about the hummimgbird besides they perform the worst with browsers (plugins, flash etc) trailing behind the dual core snap dragon and tegra 2. I still have an ipad 1 and my buddy has xoom overclocked rooted and it easily scores over 3200.
[EVO 4G General] :
You guys make me want a GSII. I overclocked my 3D to 1.8ghz and only get a 2400 score lmao.

I Haz 3D!
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
That's probably because of sense.

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
The original epic had better quadrant scores than the OG EVO as well yet many people were incredibly happy with the EVO. As one user said previously, the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side. I'm sure the SGS2 will be a sweet phone but I'm not sure why people see it as so much better than the E3D, if even better at all. They are simply different.

Perhaps the E3D doesn't feel like much of an upgrade for some because its so similar to the EVO 4G. Its similar to the iPhone upgrades; there wasn't much difference from the 1g-->3g-->3gs yet they were all considered worthy upgrades. For anyone coming from an Epic or a Nexus I am not sure that the SGS2 will seem like much of an upgrade. Both of the aforementioned are very fast phones with fantastic GPU performance. The GPU performance of the Exynos isn't significantly better than the Hummingbird, in part because the Hummingbird is so good. With the dual-core processor you may notice your apps opening .3 s faster. The SAMOLED+ screen is nice, but not really much better than the SAMOLED found on the Nexus and Epic once you use the Voodoo color saturation fix.

I wonder how many people have this same behavior with other purchases they make. I have an M3 and I love it. I don't get upset or feel like I need to go buy a Mercedes when when they claim the C63 goes 0-60 faster. Is the Audi S4 or Mercedes C63 better than the M3? Sure, to some but, to me the BMW is the best and that is all that matters for my use.

I like my E3D and with S-OFF possibly coming tonight we are just beginning to see what this device can do.
[EVO 4G General] fadimo305:
Photon vs Samsung Within ? Which one wins
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Honestly I switched from the 4G to the 3D and it really doesnt feel like much of an upgrade at all. I think i've used the 3D twice just to show people but I still get lag with certain wallpapers and the reception seems to be worse. Not even going to start on the low volume of the speaker. Im not going through the swapping game so im just going to hold onto it until the GS2 drops and then get rid of it. Honestly im kinda tempted to switch and get the Photon until the GS2 drops. At least the pics and video will be an improvement.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Finally got rid of my evo 3D on tuesday lol, sold for 400 cash on craigslist!!! If the galaxy s2 isnt all as we expect it to be im just gonna buy a nexus s off craigslist for 300 and use that until next year when better phones drop. That way i can just hold on to my upgrade and not have to renew my contract.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
And we just got S-OFF... Ah well, the Nexus is a beautiful device. The radios kinda suck but its nice nonetheless.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
dude im about a text message away from getting it, i found a new one for 280. I didnt care much for 3d anyways as you know that im sure lol. I know aosp is gonna get ported but it will be broken because of all the drivers cm team will need. I believe cyanogen and friends said they may not support the 3d because of driver issues but idk. Im a aosp kind of guy and if 3d isnt working on aosp theres no point to have a phone and only be able to use half the features lol. I think ill buy the nexus soon i guess.
[EVO 4G General] eaguil16:

Yeah, the Infuse runs ok and has great battery life, but it feels like a flimsy, cheap pos. I do like the screen size though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] evilcuber:
Im planning to switch out my old stock screen protector that came with the phone as there are some scratches on the screen protector. Im wondering, which screen protector is the best for my phone as in durability and clarity and cheapness (under 15$). Also anti glare is not a feature i would need but it would help as long as there is no rainbow effect on the screen
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] gbarayah:
This has been discussed extensively in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=800638

I have a Skinomi screen protector and I love it. I got mine shipped to be for about 9 bucks. Use the coupon code skinomi25 for 25% off. Pretty much covers the shipping costs and tax.

I like the Skinomi because it is durable, easy to install and I can hardly tell it is installed on the phone. It retains the natural glass feel of the screen and doesn't affect the touchscreen at all.

The one thing I can advise is to use patience when installing it. You can reapply the protector as long as it is wet. It took me about three tries but once I got it placed perfectly, it looks fantastic.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Ditamae:
I was just talking about this earlier... I would recommend ClearTouch Anti-Glare screen protectors (they have a "Crystal" version as well) by a company called Boxwave. I use the anti-glare version. It still looks brand new and I've been using it for over 6 months now. Screen visibility and sensitivity seem totally unaffected; no rainbow effect though the anti-glare is very mildly textured. The texture quality seems unnoticeable when the screen is lit. It's reasonably priced too.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
the cheapest screen protector you can get is the household saran wrap :)

just kidding.

check ebay. there's alot for a really good price
[HTC Sensation] smacman:
I'm experiencing an annoying problem. Every so often I'll launch an app such as Gmail or Whatsapp, and suddenly receive multiple queued messages even though sync service is on and they should have pushed in the background. This has happened occasionally since I bought the phone but I have noticed it more lately. It seems like this phone has very unreliable packet performance. Anyone else notice the same?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcguru000:
So it seems that no matter what i do regardless of rom, kernel, bootloader version if I press the power button while my gtablet is awake, it will just shut off- maybe twice now it has successfully unlocked for me and came back to life.

The other night i did a test, with 100% battery set the brightness to its lowest setting using the power manger widget (this seems to be 30 out of 255 btw)

Idling while I slept (screen on, sitting at the home screen) it ran 10 hours and still had 16% left.

Obviously the screen still remains as the key battery drainer, so my question is- is there a way to turn the screen off but keep the cpu running? Perhaps even just kill the back light completely- and upon volume button press or maybe a certain swipe gesture on the screen, the back light could be re enabled.

Ive tried a few apps, none of which have functionality quite like this- I was wondering about perhaps a script we could run via terminal (that maybe could be tied to a shortcut on the homescreen..?)

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad08stanggt:
the sleep of death is my #1 gripe with the deivce.

what i am more interested in is why this happens. I would imagine this doesnt happen in stock form, so it must be an issue with rooting it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcguru000:
Nope :(

No it happend in its stock form too... even with the 1.0 fw that i started with...

Went for the update to 1.1 bl and 1.2 bl

I really haven't been able to determine the issue and ive tried every rom between 1.1 and 1.2 ... (at least all the obvious ones on the forums here...)

Not sure what to do other than suck it up and just find something that can kill the screen.
