[Galaxy S II General] Nerz:
Although I can't speak too much on other androids because the sgs1 variant I have is my first android I must say I love it. The only comparison I can make is from what I played with on other phones. Tw does seem to lag a bit, but there are some things that I like in favor. I hated moto blur from the small bit that I tried (I know you can't judge this or any of the other ui's on just a short testing period, just my impression.) For instance I like the swipe to call or text in contacts or messages in tw. I also like the pull down menu. I hate the launcher though. Which is why I used launcher pro before and now adw. My impression of sense ui was that it was very snappy, though probably due to familiarity I liked to pull down menu and said swipe features of tw. Although I hear the new sense has a way to toggle options on it, just never tried it. Another thing I like about my phone is that it seems you have to be illiterate to brick it (sorry to anyone that has :-/). So and on the last note I hear samsung has made tw better on the sgs2, 4.0 I believe they are calling it. Although I am thinking about getting the sgs2, I am not a samsung fanboy (maybe slightly an anfroid one though :)), so I'm just giving another opinion as a samsung owner such as you recently are.
[Galaxy S II General] MartyLK:
Most definitely. That is an awesome and convenient feature of this Infuse. It isn't limited, though, to TW. I can still swipe contacts and such while using other launchers. The pull down switching menu is excellent, too. And my Infuse is getting much better since going to Launcher Pro. The hardware is just fabulous. But Sammy seriously needs to let an outside company do all of their software. As well as Sammy phones sell with such badly crippled software, I can't imagine how Sammy could not rule the smartphone world if their phones had first-rate, world-class software. Apple would be very afraid.
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidDragon:
I use an Infuse but I'm thinking about selling it to buy the Galaxy S II. Do you think the dual-core processor will make THAT big of a difference?
[Galaxy S II General] KnowledgeBroker:
Sort of yes, much moreso later. Eventually willlikely make single core obsolete, far from no tho. I'd buy if you want somyhing that likely ant go obsolete.. maybe.not.if you buy to be trendy..
[Galaxy S II General] Formhault:
The SGS2 may be eye-candy, but looking at the new Xiaomi phone... yummy... kicks Galaxy S 2's ass pretty bad :D
[Galaxy S II General] MartyLK:
If the SGS2 sounds as good the Infuse, it should be a hit with audiophiles. According to Wikipedia, the SGS2 will use an audio chip from Yamaha instead of using the Wolfson brand like the predecessor used. I tried to find info pertaining to which chip the Infuse uses and couldn't come up with anything. But my guess would be the Yamaha chip because I can't see this lower-class phone besting the higher-end SGS2. But then again, the SGS2 is being bested...at least audio-wise...by the SGS1, so who knows. But if the Infuse does use a Yamaha chip, all I can say is it sounds amazing and is sure to please audiophiles.

The one bright shining spot of this Infuse is the audio quality. It's just as pleasing as my Cowon D2 or iPod Nano 3G.

I'm currently using Sleek Audio SA6 IEMs and listening to dBpoweramp/Lame encoded v.0 MP3 music files in a neutral sound enhancement setting (flat or no enhancement).

i want to get SGS2 :D
[Galaxy S II General] DocDroid:
SGSII will be the most powerful phone of all time
[Galaxy S II General] Ace42:
.....Are you serious? It will be replaced by others in a short time, one the Qualcomm S4, and the new Samsung, and TI chips are released in new phones it will be replaced.
[Galaxy S II General] hungry81:
/palmface. You do realise how dumb this sounds don't you?
[Galaxy S II General] Nerz:
Lol. I'm sure he's just struck with excitement.
[Galaxy S II General] H_D_2:
SGS2 is today's best phone, but tomorrow is a new day :D
[Galaxy S II General] patrafter:
Like He-man was the most powerful man IN THE UNIVERSE!!!! huh?

maybe in that cartoon universe. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
It's not just the dual core that makes a huge difference.

There is the 1GB of RAM as well as the Quadcore Mali400MP
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
You mean numerous 5/5,9~10/10 reviews are all wrong about it being that good?

All plastic? you mean plastic shell over metal right? That's pretty much the reason why there is no chassis flex on SGS2

I've had one instance of overheating and that's because of the app in question had issues with audio and froze which caused the phone to stay at high cpu usage. As soon as the app was killed, it cooled down pretty quickly. I've already contacted the dev and those were his responses regarding audio and the app itself also had a disclaimer asking atrix owners to disable sound to increase stability

You're complaining about external speaker while owning a DHD? It's plenty loud without much bass as expected

As for touchwiz, it's a huge difference compared to the version 3.0 that's installed on every previous samsung phone. Only reason i don't run touchwiz on my by default is because i can't select custom dock

3D games? You can run tegra2 optimized games better than tegra2 phones can with chainfire plugin with 16X AA turned on in some cases. Quad core Mali400MP setup runs circles around other dual core setups

SAMOLED+ doesn't have a blue tint like the first SGS did and there is a color temp setting under the display settings for movie, normal, and dynamic

Let me know if you want have any questions about the phone. I would be more than happy to answer them for you
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Obviously you've failed to grasp the concept of android. If you don't like it, it's very easy to change it to something else and launcher installation doesn't require any root, or custom rom while not voiding your warranty

edit: outside of the launcher, samsung used stock menu system etc
[Galaxy S II General] KingKuba13:
Verizon is not getting and it's overrated and overplayed anyway.

Nothing special.

Bring on quad core, 1080p screens, 2gb ram, blah blah.

We've had dual core, 1gb ram since feb., yet everyone is still getting excited about it?

Who cares if it's thin and light, what are you girls? it's like having a light watch, just feels cheap and not there.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
which phone came with dual core and 1GB of ram in feb?
[Galaxy S II General] Nerz:
Didn't the moto atrix come out on Feb? Although in my opinion the GS2 is much better. Just wish I wouldn't take so long for it to hit the states.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
I guess it did. For whatever the reason, i was thinking that it didn't have 1GB of ram.
[Galaxy S II General] MartyLK:
Samsung might be working on a deal with Apple so they can sell the SGS2 in the states. That might be why its taking so long.

About time there was a good post. It became sad seeing so many people talk to hear themselves talk, but know less than nothing. Glad you put some good info here. :)
[Galaxy S II General] djvdorp:
I definately love my SGS2! Especially since I started rooting and stuff over here at XDA :)
[Galaxy S II General] keister58:
I would bang to hold 100% the SGSII is hands trailing the someone phone on the mart change now. And symmetric solon so with a few tweaks the velocity and performance along with excellent fire vivification give head it 1 for a lasting abstraction.

Rogers to get upgraded lte version. Hopefully att will too.
[Galaxy S II General] con ga pc:
Get my S2 for a week! First, i thought i will try this phone for 1-2 months and i will change to new WP7( on 1/9). but now, i think i won't do that because i love it's screen, i love customize UI and i love MIUI ROM too:D
[Galaxy S II General] nmsraider:
Yes i agree with the previous posts. the s2 is a really good phone out of the box.

Battery is a bit weak to start but improved over time.

But now i am using lighting 6.1 rom with speedmod-t31 kernel.... wow megga fast and very impressive battery performance.

my hat goes off to the developers who spend hours edditing these for our advantage.
[Galaxy S II General] galaxys:
Has to be good with a name like Galaxy! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Wilsonium:
Lots of great info...

Personally, I'm wondering what happened to all the NFC hype that preceded this phone. I have not seen anything new and nearly no mention of this capability in any of the US marketing information. While it's possible I missed something in the launch materials, I'm hoping that TMO includes this or I'm going to leap over it for the Nexus Prime.
[Galaxy S II General] Elemenopee:
Apparently the AT&T and TMOUS SGS2's do contain NFC. Go to samsumgalaxys2review dot org and check out the second post. If what they're saying is true then I would rather get the SGS2 than wait for the Nexus Prime. I'm very excited for Sep 18th.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
they're just passing on information from the app that superurio created and asked the folks at the us launch event to run.

And so far based on the launch event, Sprint's device doesn't come with a NFC
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
the SGH-T989 from Tmobile / Telus are rumored to come with NFC
[Galaxy S II General] Teknohtc:
I got the SGS2 (rooted) over a month ago and i love it! I still have my iP4(JB) and i just can't go back to it. There's just so much

freedom

and customization you can do with this device. I am i got the SGS2 over the other dual core devices. SGS2 FTW!!!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] compuguy1088:
I'm waiting to see if nfc can be hacked to work on the international version......
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HonkeyGenius:
Infrared Pen + Wiimote + Android + HDMI = Touchscreen Anywhere

i've had this idea for a while and was trying to see if i could make it happen on my own. sadly i've not much to show for it, so i'm here now to see if there is any way to progress this.

how i hope this would work:

Aim the wiimote at a tv/monitor that your android phone is plugged into via hdmi. The Wiimote picks up the Infrared Pen, sends the data to the phone app, then interprets it as touch interaction, which gets displayed on a monitor/tv over hdmi.

i thought i read somewhere that the phone might not be able to handle the infrared data stream. i certainly hope it can, otherwise this idea is sunk.

This wiimote whiteboard application (http://www.uweschmidt.org/wiimote-whiteboard) is written in java. if i were in anyway a decent programmer i'd have attempted this already. just wondering if anyone has any incite to whether or not this is possible.

any tips or leads will be greatly appreciated.

Thanx for the response. But I wasn't too thrilled with having the advertisement banners with Power Amp, and I actually like the music player that comes with the device...

[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's the discussion of phones...

Meanwhile, in phones, the GT-I9250 is probably the most exciting. It’s said to have a

4.65-inch 1280 x 720

resolution display and a 5-megapixel camera, and run Ice Cream Sandwich on an unspecified processor which, we’re guessing, will be a dual-core. Its sibling, the GT-I9220, is even bigger, with a MID-rivaling

5.29-inch 1280 x 720

Super AMOLED Plus panel, a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, 8-megapixel camera and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The rumored 1.4GHz GT-I9200 upgrade to the Galaxy S II isn’t mentioned, but the I9210 gets a look-in, with a

4.5-inch 800 x 480

touchscreen, 4G connectivity and an 8-megapixel camera. There’s also supposedly WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, Full HD video recording support and a 1750 mAh battery, all in an Android-running 128g package.

The description of the 4.5" phone could be the Celox that was leaked a few days ago. I guess big is in.

[Fascinate General] jharvey24:
So according to android police, ice cream sandwich is out at least in development. The build number is IRK36B. Wonder how long till source code is out.
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
The Fascinate hasn't even had an official Gingerbread release let alone Gingerbread source code, and you're wondering about ICS source code? Wonder how long it's going to be before we have flying cars. Let's keep a realistic perspective on things.
[Fascinate General] scarfman4:
I sincerely doubt we'll ever see ICS for this phone. Since the Fascinate has been discontinued from VZ we'll be extremely lucky if an official Gingerbread will ever see the light of day. They originally said the Incredible would get GB but now they'be said it won't, so I'm not holding my breath.

#Trollolol ;)
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
ICS isn't really "out at least in development". You can check in the SDK Manager yourself to see that it's not out in development. The only thing out there are some heavily edited screenshots, lacking a version number, that were leaked, and might not even be real!

Don't expect official ICS to ever come (as already been said). At best, there will still be some developers still around that pity us enough to port an ICS rom to our phone.
[General Questions and Answers] dpryan877:
I'm working on a hardware device that will plug into the USB port of a mobile phone and transmit data from one phone to another at very high speeds. The data is being carried over visible light (so it would appear that you are plugging in an external flashlight to your phone, except that it's carrying data). Data transmission for the first prototype will be 10 Mbps, later prototypes will be able to reach 100 Mbps.

I think this opens up some interesting possibilities for new app development, since you are now providing a low latency, high speed connection between adjacent devices. The fact that the user will be able to see where the data is going also provides some potentially useful feedback. The immediately obvious apps are for things like fast file transfers (pushing a song from one phone to the next), gaming (imagine playing blackjack where a "dealer" points their phone at other phones and deals cards just as they would in real life), and mobile payments (light transfer is private).

I'd be interested to see if this is something the developer community would be interested in getting their hands on and what sort of applications come to mind.

Cheers!

i cant get into recovery...

i tried everything, even hard reset...

has somebody got an idea? i also wrote s2ck (?!), i have backups of all stock (including usb id, part table and so on)
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
can you try installing rom manager? if that doesn't allow you to download the custom CWM for our phones you may be able to place a zip copy of it in the rom manager updates directory for it to flash...

did acer recovery app from the market not work either?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
ROM Manager isn't compatible with the A500. Flashing a ROM with it is a good way to get an expensive tea tray.

Bad answer -_- lol get a little educated before you give an answer
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
I know the installer sucks but there is no other way. you have to get the latest version installed through it and then get it licensed otherwise it will not work at all. and you also need to install the full version which is greater than 10mb.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] -Arturo-:
There are various modded versions of swype floating in the web. I have a slimmed down version of Swype 3.6xxx with only Polish and English languages which takes only about 2.8 mb and not 10 + MB. Use google or maybe some local android forums in your language.

Actually a while ago you could get all the modded versions of swype from xda but then Swype people started moaning and posting links to swype was banned on xda.

then ask TS check his / her language and keyboard got wrong ???

You need to uninstall previous Swype versions in case you want to update or when the licensing breaks. Then use the Swype Installer again.

update2: it's funny to see that so many people used this image as promotion picture =_=

Just do a reverse google image search on the image....

update: Unexpectedly Samsung actually released SGA in white a few months later.

Ever since Samsung Galaxy S II got a white version I became curious how a SGA would like in white.

The white backplate makes our device half white, and it doesnt really match the black front imo.

So here is a concept of how it would look like if the front was white too:

Better or worse?

White looks better with white in this case, so in conclution it's better imo.

(I used GO launcher ex for the homescreen if you wonder.)
