Have not read too much of this thread apart from 1st few posts. My 2 pence is SG2 is easily and by a huge margin the best phone I have ever owned. I have no idea how I coped with Xperia, TP2 and HD2 phones that I had before. All were a steaming pile of crap compared to this phone (actually the N95 I had as 1st smartphone was ok). I even bought SG2 from amazon and traded in my HD2 at CEX as I was so sick of it's buggy screen and unstable UI requiring many resets even with various custom roms. Samsung 1 HTC -a million. Also loving the battery life. It will take a lot to get me to want to shift to another phone.
[Galaxy S II General] z33dev33l:
Again its crazy how little people remember about the first year of other phones. Androids first year yielded next to nothing, I'm sure some people didn't even realize it existed unless they were on t-mobile. Compared to that wp7s first year is massive and that's after fighting through the bad name that winmo left us with. BarryH, as I stated earlier, id prefer a dual core PC running windows 8 to a quad core running windows 95. The OS is what ruins this hardware for me.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You may be able to have the best of both worlds. There are pics of a SGS2 variant running Mango taken at a Windows Phone conference.
[Galaxy S II General] z33dev33l:
I'm looking forward to it though the chipset isn't as impressive as Microsoft has not oked the tegra stuff. It will be a single core 1.5ghz which still is more power and considering how we run on 2 year old chips I'm pretty excited.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Prices of Windows7 phones decreased drastically everywhere in the world. It's now a matter of choice if you buy a carton of cigarettes or a WP7. That says it all about the success of WP7 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] z33dev33l:
people like you clearly weren't around when android was released. I bought a g1 8 months after its release for 40 dollars and at that point it was still a powerful device by comparison to any. Wp7 are on outdated hardware and still haven't fallen anywhere near that far. The uneducated statements bring nothing new to the discussion.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Rofl, ok, i'll check this thread in 3 years, giving WP7 time to catch up ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ajftl:
Lol to damn funny. But u think xda would be around? Lol
[Galaxy S II General] Willbuh:
You came in here with your mind already made up that you prefer WP7 and you're going to stick with it, so why waste time making a thread expressing your hate for the phone, to a bunch of people who are completely happy with it? Just get out.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Hmmm, I find your opinion very suspect, I have seen amazement in the eyes of Iphone lovers when they used this phone, I know a couple of people that have come over from Iphone 4 to get this phone, yet you claim that its "choppy"

U clearly have built up some mental blocks against android and in favour of WP7, the best advice for u is to stop complaining, sell the phone and you go back to WP7 and 8 and whatever comes in the future

None but ourselves can free our mind - Bob Marley, therefore discussing android with you is a waste of time
[Galaxy S II General] MaddenModer:
nice, you got the best phone:)
[Galaxy S II General] z33dev33l:
I know plenty who move from ios to android as well. Most of them don't know what it means but dual core and 4 inch screen sounds a lot better than what they have and hey, what do you know? Its readily available on every carrier and you can still get angry birds? Any argument pertaining to the outside world is often irrelevant in an xda conversation as generally those people use their phone as a phone and not a lifestyle. Its way ahead of any other android phone I suppose. Its just too choppy for me having used wp7, the beauty of the phone itself is great but the OS makes it not worth my time.
[Galaxy S II General] thenixo:
Came to this phone from an omnia 7. While I admit once mango is out windows phone. But not right now. This phone outclasses the omnia easily.
[Galaxy S II General] 3th3rx:
I think he's mad. The Swype keyboard is by far fastest way to type for me and make less mistakes as compared to the crappy isucks auto correct keyborad or the WP7 ones.
[Galaxy S II General] vikas776:
We got it Sir

Android sucks and WP7 Rules

Thats it we admit

Now for God Sake Move urself to WP7 forum so that we all fanboys be happy in our forum with our sucky SG2

And if still u come here and post ur Personal opinion and i m sure We will both agree who is real idiot here
[Galaxy S II General] Gilgehmesh:
This thread really ought to be closed... not even worth discussing.
[Galaxy S II General] z33dev33l:
Before mango I guess I may have preferred this... I've had mango for nearly 3 weeks now and with how good it is I can't go back to I i guess. Anyway, I apologize for supposedly trolling. I posted this in the general section and orb moved it. The phone itself is awesome and id love to see a variant on wp7. I apologize for saying rude things about your choice in OS it is just not for me anymore. Thank you for your responses and your time. I'll likely just keep it locked up for now as it will be my only gingerbread device to dev on. The ATT version with the physical keyboard looks pretty epic.
[Galaxy S II General] vikas776:
Thank you sir for ur understanding

But still Most of us respect WP7 and we all hope something or anything comes above android and we will all love to move to that .

Thank u

i know this isn't the place to ask but does anyone have any suggestions on games? I wanted to see how far its progressed to see if it's even worth me porting the 2d RPG I've spent almost a year on over to android? Right now I have a wp7 version just because there's like no rpgs there and I'm considering a port. I just wanna see the best games android has to offer.
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
There are no rpgs for android. This thread should be closed. There must a reason this phone sell like hotcakes and get top ratings in 99% of the reviews.

- After reading all of these posts..

Wow.. This has definitly been a good waste of 20 minutes..

z33dev33l, you clearly came into this thread with your mind made up. You tend to believe and argue that a windows based phone is even in the same realm with the Samsung Galaxy S II. Unfortunately, reality depicts a different picture. Windows phones are no direct threat to Android devices..

To suggest that Mango or any other mobile windows release runs better than the Samsung Galaxy S II simply is ridiculous, and lacks any real basis of fact. I suggest you read a bit, spend some time with your phone, then open your mind to the reality of your situation, you just realized that all of this time you have been a fanboy for WP7, and you just realized all that time, you could have been using a better working, functioning device, both by Samsung and a wide array of phone manufacturers who have adopted Android, not Windows.

I guess we can wait a bit for Nokia to really start pumping out their new phones using Windows. Just a thought though, the day it was announced that Nokia had chosen Windows over Android, the stock DROPPED. That just goes to show you the appeal of Windows, and the lack of sensibility in Nokia not adopting Android. Perhaps, Microsoft will have more former employees take over other phone manufacturers, and choose Windows over Android. It worked well for Nokia.

I am sure you will provide some form of rebuttal, it of course will be based on non-sense, until you provide a real basis for your arguements, please save the space on this forum for people who actually know what they are talking about.

I am not surprised that you are an OP of Windows forums, but they should really limit your access to anything else, you are way out of your element.

Good day, and good luck..

[Galaxy S II General] z33dev33l:
lacks any real basis of fact? Please don't attempt to attack me with unfounded arguments, Samsung themselves have stated that the device is only about 95 percent hardware accelerated and with the number of functions available on the device that leaves a lot to be desired. They may have done an outstanding job dolling up android and programming it 1000 times better than it typically is but a turd wrapped in aluminum foil is still a turf and that's the devices only fault, android, which I assume they only continue to use for its level of support and google features because they've proven that they are capable of building a much more functional OS on their own.

Perhaps you don't know much about stocks, given your unfounded statements Im quite certain that's the case, but any time a company takes a big leap like that stocks are going to hastily drop, that's just how it goes. If Nokia had adopted android it'd be the same terrible foundation, the same lag, and the same low quality that we had with their previous endeavor. The only difference is that now they'd be a small fish in a big pond rather than head of the pack on what's new and on the rise.

Anyway, I could go on proving you wrong, mentioning samsungs devices for wp7 which they have adopted or that when htcs android devices are banned from import their wp7 devices will continue on or even the fact that android can't ever be %ully hardware accelerated unless they start using a uniform chipset but eh, I try not to argue with people who can't see all sides of the argument. Perhaps one day you'll stumble across a wp7 and realize that the gs2 isn't the end-all, neither is mine but I can certainly say it runs smoother.
[Galaxy S II General] bbm21:
Sell me the sgs2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
As my sig shows I'm a webOS fanboy. I have used all the other major OS's enough to say webOS is the best, but smooth...nope. Is webOS the best overall UI/ I and others alot smarter than me will argue yes, but that in no way allows be to say it's an alternative for my dollars at this moment. That's why I await my 32GB SGS2 on 8/5. Will my I be sad, and miss my old friend, yes. Will I miss a physical keyboard, OHMYGAWD yes!!!

When I got my 180 the only other mildly intelligent phone in the world was the Nokia 900. I chose Palm because it had 70000 apps. That's why I'm buying the best Android phone now...I want apps. I'm impressed M$ put their back into it, and have already doubled webOS's count. However, both are also rans right now. I imagine they will rally, and there will be, as Jon Rubenstein said, "4-5 contenders in this marketplace."

I'll see what you mean by lack of smooth when I get it, but I'll be enjoying all the other benefits developers like you help me achieve. I've looked at them all, because it's heart-wrenching to leave Palm. WP7 and Apple are just not exciting. This SGS2 (32GB!!!!!!!!) feels like it felt to get the 180 did back then...ready for prime time, no compromises, best OS at the moment, but with infinitely better hardware. I'll keep watching, and if that changes I'll move there, but right now according to pretty much everyone (but you) the SGS2 is the way to go.

See the attached image dor the live chat with HTC.

They confirm that they released the update via OTA for unbranded devices.
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
what...but i did not get any update notification....?
[Desire Android Development] philje123:
For gods sake. Until someone has the rom downloaded and installed on their phone then please stop creating new pointless threads!
[Desire Android Development] torres.sis:
Sorry my friend it's not my intention...

I just want to share the info :) that it's true GB update is released.
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0wl:
For a moment I went "YAAAAY!" but then I saw that it's just another pointless thread about "what the HTC support guy said".

HTC support may be telling you that the update is already being released, but since no one here on XDA (or anywhere else) actually received the update, we can safely assume that they are wrong.

Also, if you would have taken the effort to post in the correct forum, you would have noticed that there's already a similar thread running: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186791

Exact same situation: guy goes to HTC support, asks about the update, support replies with "uhh, I guess so?" and everybody goes apesh*t about an update which hasn't even been released yet.
[Desire Android Development] torres.sis:
Sorry... did npot knew that :(
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
There are too many 'desire' , hd, z, s..currently the gb update is rolling out for the desire z

U have to ask to the customer support about the Htc Desire Bravo.

Anyway better wait that someone get the update.

[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
"Just another pointless thread"
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
We have seen those chat screenshots already, but FYI - HTC support doesn't see difference between HTC Desire and HTC Desire Z / S etc. which leads to such conversations IMO.

In a battle to rid some cache from that annoying "application space low" message, I'm afraid cleared the wrong cache so now my profile pic is blank now. Under "People", texting etc it used to have my Facebook profile pic. Now it's just empty.

Not a huge deal but I doubt I'm the only one this has happened to.

Thanks

Isn't there anyway to reload your pic through settings?

Strange but I may just have to give it a stock photo. I just like having my current FB photo.

I am currently on 4.1.83 and *only* rooted. I have been trying to search and follow different threads, but could not get a clear answer. I did see the thread about Hard-Bricking which is what prompted this question. After my research,here is what I plan to do (from what I can tell to be the safest)

* Flash back to SBF 4.1.83 stock using this from this thread.

* Then use PUDDING SBF to unlock/root 1.8.3 as detailed here.

* Then use pudding again to update to 2.3.4 using the same thread above. (or can I skip above?)

* Then install CWM as detailed in this thread.

* Have all the custom ROM goodies :).

Can anyone tell me this is a safe way to get to 2.3.4 Custom ROM goodies w/o hard bricking...Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekarhoo:
Ok..since there were no replies. This is what I did, I am unlocked (bl), rooted and CWM and with Alien #2 ROM.

* (Since I was on 1.8.3 stock + root) and was NOT unlocked. I flashed SBF 1.8.3 to go back to Stock. (DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE ALREADY unlocked, you will definitely Hard Brick, as per my research).

* Then flashed 2.3.4 official 4.5.91 SBF (note: I did not do an OTA).

* Did the Automatic Unlock/root/CWM from this Forum.

* Flashed Alien #2 from CWM.

* That's it...

Hello all

Today, after quite a long time, I unlocked my bootloader and installed CWM recovery, but I'm still with 4.1.83.

I have some questions:

1) If I want to flash a custom 2.3.4 rom do I need to flash the 2.3.4 update first usind RSD, or can I flash it right away from the CWM? (After a full wipe of course)

2) Do I need to flash a 2.3.4 radio prior to flashing this rom? Can I use the flasheble radio from here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1163009 ?

3) What should be the size of an average 2.3.4 rom? because I downloader both the full Alien #2 rom and the CherryBlur 1.4b, is it possible that the Alien is 163MB while the CherryBlur is 553MB?

Thanks for the responses :cool:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaronscar:
alien blur is smaller because not cooked all the way its in beta testing and needs work....and yes you can flash to a rom if you wipe everything....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyman19828:
You should never have to use rsd ever again after unlocking bl. Stay away... use fruit cakes in the dev section. Use fastboot and img files this applies to radios as well. All it takes is a power failure or your computer to lock up in the middle of rsd flashing and its game over.

Radios can be flashed at any time.

Those are both normal. Depends on the rom. 200-300 mb average
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonshield:
Thank you both for these answers, I flashed already the gb beta 4 of kenneth,without the radio for now, and I must say that the new blur looks really nice :)

an other thing is that I personally don't think that wiping the device via 'wipe data/factory reset' from the recovery is wise, since it wipes also the internal and external memory cards, which is not required to flash a rom, just format the data, cache, system from 'mounts'the should be enough.

good night :cool:

[G2 and Desire Z General] DogsiWoo:
Hi all,

Picked up my new Desire Z as an upgrade from a Vodafone store on Sunday. Didn't receive a call until last night and the caller couldn't hear me. I called them back, same problem. I tried calling the phone from my Landline and it just picks up interference (a lot especially if the trackpad on the phone is swiped).

I have seen a number of suggestions online:

1) Upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 fixed the issue. Mine was 2.3.3 OTA from Vodafone before I discovered the problem, though if it's there in 2.3.3 I can't see it appearing in 2.2

2) The HTC lock screen causes the problem. I instaleld the suggested "NoLock" app which made no difference

3) HTC Sense is causing the issue. Flashing to a non-Sense ROM cures this. Does anyone know if this is true? I cannot/will not flash it as I'll be taking it into VF tomorrow, hopefully for a straight replacement.

I have a feeling the replacement may do the same though, and that it is a hardware problem?

Has anyone experienced this problem on the Desire series?

Thanks,

Karl
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
I wouldn't bother trying any fixes, just take it back asap.

I'm on my second dz and neither have done this, I also work for a phone retailer and have sold quite a few DZ's and have never heard of this.

Sounds like faulty hardware
[G2 and Desire Z General] DogsiWoo:
I will be tomorrow, hoping it's just a bad unit! I was close to flashing it the day I got it, but luckily I didn't get home til late evening. Now I know why I keep my warranties intact!
[G2 and Desire Z General] DogsiWoo:
Just an update to say I had the phone swapped without hassle this afternoon and the problem doesn't seem to exist on this new one, even after flashing to Gingerbread so it must definitely have been a busted mic!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilesja:
I don't really know anything about anything lol but I have heard of things like this being sensetive to the size of the file especially something like the keyboard which may remain loaded and need to be cached. Try to get the size of the new file the same or smaller than the one you are replacing.

Again this is random speculation but it makes sense to me...
