Well, I don't think "propaganda" is fair. I don't think anyone is trying to pull one over on anyone, or make a point.

It's just important to keep in mind that this is a self selecting survey, with no verification. Perhaps iPhone users exaggerated, or weren't quite honest with themselves, as someone already hinted at. To me a large number of the answers iPhone look like they're trying too hard to look special/deep. "Look at me! My fav ice cream is salted caramel, my fav food is tapas, my fav fruit is the clementine!"

Edit: not to mention a lot of the points are "iPhone users are more likely to spend money, regardless of the return" Well, no kidding. Maybe way more iPhone users use gogoinflight because android users, correctly, IMO, think paying $13 to have internet access for 3 hours is absurd. So, you can take a lot of these data points either way.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
whats the problem with clementines?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
The fruit-to-effort ratio is too low.

I mean really, if I'm going to go to all that trouble to peel the darn thing, I should get a little more for the effort. iPhone people probably have an app to peel it for them.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I LOL'd at this one. "fruit-to-effort ratio"...that made my day so far, thank you for that.

And FWIW, I had never heard of salted caramel ice cream until recently. And it is fricking delicious. I love caramel anything (within reason of course) so that makes sense.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i take it youve never peeled one then, because the peel comes off of them way easier than an orange, and they have no pith. pound wise, they are cheaper too if you buy in a 10 lb bag.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
mee also. maybe we should just go buy iphones.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Spaceballs!

"What is this? What am I looking at?"

"Now, sir. You're looking at now. Everything that's happening now is happening now"
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Typical iPhone fanboi propaganda...

[clearly I'm making a silly joke, but some of you may not get that]

Clementines are ok, and they're not difficult to peel, but they're so darn small that you need to eat like four of them, which makes them too much of a hassle.

The responses shown are clearly cherry picked to make iphone demo look better. This isn't just a simple presentation of results. Its an attempt to make a point.
[Epic 4G General] sohardivetried:
lmao

Why would any android user have anything but a gmail account? Ive used gmail since the first beta, and it really is just the best webmail you can get.

This was obviously made by an Apple person, and I agree that apple will probably in the future have less than 10% market share. Maybe one day people will realize that walled garden is really a dictatorship. Freedom will prevail, though the way google is looking nowadays they are starting to move to a proprietary model. With the Motorola acquisition i see certain doom for 3rd party android. Which is fine, i wouldnt mind a motorola phone, as long as its as sleek as my epic with an unlocked bootloader.

[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
When reading any survey, the first thing I try to look at is how the samples were taken. This one is as accurate as them sticking a thermo in a cow's ass and reporting that it uses an iPhone. There may be things certain tech users have in common...this one shows nothing about it.

[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Ok I know it's a little bit late for that but coming from N1 and DHD background and now having the sgs2 I wanted to post some very first impressions about a Sensation I could handle for 30mins:

+Phone feel very nice in hand, waaay better than the sgs2 ''fridge''

+Sense 3.0 is the best rom ever

-Carousel replacing the scrolling wallpapers is big step backward from htc, what the hell? using a qHD screen with 540x960 resolution wallpapers while DHD was 960x800?? :mad:

-Speaker is even weaker than DHD which was the weakest in the market, even with volume+ set to maximum the speaker only gained a tiny 10%, if a cat begin to miaou you wont hear the ringtones :mad:

+Screen is exellent even under sunlight, though it doesn't have pure blacks of sgs2 but it has a superb image quality thanks to qHD,again too bad we can't use 1080x960 wallpapers

Even if it has some negatives I am still pretty much considering swapping my sgs2 with a Sensation, I missed so badly Sense!
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
+1 for the speaker volume.. its horrible
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Interesting the comments about the speaker. While not outstanding the speaker on mine is a fair bit better than on my DHD.
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Well, depends on how you define better.. i can tell you that when assigning a ringtone on my OLD sony W610i, it sounds better and louder than on the sensation, which is a damn shame if you ask me.

The built in ringtones on the sensation are fine, loud and clear, but when assigning my own ringtone, the sound is horrible both quality and volume wise. I totally expected more from a $600+ phone
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
I must recon I tried Volume+ with a S-ON sensation, dunno if it matters for this app to have root?
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Speaker is the worst on the Sensation. My cliq xt overpowers it in sound under a pillow.... I'm not exaggerating.
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
I believe you. Its a shame and i hope it can be improved with a ROM although i dont get my hopes up too much as its probably a crappy hardware issue
[HTC Sensation] abachhan75:
Agree with you on speakerphone, it sounds hollow, weak and poor.

as for the ringtone, i was able to use some from zedge which i can hear unless i am in very noisy place and phone is in my pocket.
[HTC Sensation] p0cait:
+ 1 for poor sound
[HTC Sensation] joesimich:
Poor external speaker +2 hope that with more custom kernals there will be a way to enhance the volume
[HTC Sensation] mazinya:
Whats zedge? care to elaborate?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The speaker is quite poor, I agree. But the strange thing is on my previous model is was noticeably better (tested them side by side) than the one I have now.
[HTC Sensation] joesimich:
Use adownloader or another music download app and trim ringtones yourself. This will assure you much better quality.
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
Volume +

Volume + made a HUGE difference for me, along with a custom ROM, I've actually had to turn it down in some situations.
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
+10000.... Speaker is absolute garbage.
[HTC Sensation] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Who cares about speaker. Download sound+ and it will be just as loud if not louder than any other phone. Steve jobs tutorials sound great at loud volumes!!!! Lol j/k:)

Hey OP,

What advanyages would you say the SGS2 has over the Sensation?

Thinking about trading my Sensation for one, just to try it out.
[HTC Sensation] Axefield:
An app from the market. You can download wallpapers, ringtones and notification sounds for free with that one.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Super AMOLED Plus, more RAM, and a faster processor.

Hi, yesterday i rooted my transformer for the first time and then flashed a custom rom and kernel (clemsyn)...

But today i decided to unroot as i wanted to return my tranformer.

I used the one click method for rooting and unrooting... (installed clockworkmod as well)... but the restoring process did not work well (out of space on sd during backup).

Can anyone tell me the process of returning it to the stock kernel?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebound821:
The 1-click unroot works only on the stock kernel.

Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1185104

Download the correct SKU for your device (WW/US/TW/TB) and run the batch script. Then select "Install stock boot.img and/or stock recovery.img".
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pat0599:
thank you for the idea!

But no luck :(.. maybe i should root it and nvflash stock 3.2? would this work?

Anyone knows how to enable changing song in WB-XPERIA TW v3.9.0? It was possible to change them on Wolfbreak's 2.2 rom in poweramp and winamp , while the screen was off. Is it possible to have that in 2.3.3?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
WB 2.2 ROM was Cyanogen, the current one is stock,

can anyone help me please :(

I had the same problem after installing the MIUI ROM. However, it still showed the keypad to enter my PIN code, which I did, and the error disappeared after that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgardel:
i had the same problem, so, after a couple tests, that´s the "solution"...

take your SD card off, and turn the mobile on, will work.

after that, you can put it in again, and be alert because the time you have to insert your sim pim(sim password)is short(till the mobile finish "search for media" in your sd)

at least for me, it worked
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick3113:
Hi, Please help since today I´m having the same problema. No SIM card is detected by the phone, IMEI says Unknown, baseband Unknown.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick3113:
HElp PLEASE!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
First step: Install a stock rom and see if it works, backup everything first.

Second step: If first step does not work, you have an EFS corruption. Plenty of threads on this and how to recover your IMEI. Search will be your friend.

[HTC Sensation] dazza_84:
Hi, I've only had my sensation for a week now, I'm running insertcoin ROM, I was just wondering if i wanted to go back to stock ROM what the procedure would be??

I'm on ext 4 at the moment so would I need to wipe back to ext 3 then install stock ROM??

Or can i just flash an ruu.exe in my situation right now??

Many thanks
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
If u want stock rooted they have that or if u want Stock Stock like out the box than flash the T-Mobile Ruu if your Cid is all 1's
[HTC Sensation] dazza_84:
Just stock rooted, so I would be able to flash another ROM in the future.

Would my device being ext 4 at the moment be any trouble to flash a ruu??
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Just flash this and you will be fine:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1201284
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
I have a question about this- do you have to have your CID all 11111111 when going back to stock rom? My current CID is the T-MOB010 which is the stock tmobile CID and i am using insertcoint at the moment with no issues. Do i have to go to the 11111111 CID to flash the stock tmobile RUU?
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
Since T-MOB010 is what the stock tmous RUU looks for, you should be fine without having to change yours.
[HTC Sensation] dazza_84:
But I debranded mine, I did originally put a euro ruu.exe 1.35 I think, so if i was to put that back on my phone would it work?? Cos my cid is 11111111
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
The all 1 cid is if you want to flash a Rom out of your region.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
You should be fine as far as tmo stock if you were to flash a Europe Rom or another region u would need to change ur cid
[HTC Sensation] dominante58:
Thank you for clarifying!
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
So, I thought it would be great to finally root and put a ROM on my SGSII. That's when trouble started.

I am not new to ROMs. It's pretty simple, really. Well, tonight, I've managed to make myself crazy and I sit here hours later, starting at a reboot-looping SGSII. Here's what I did:

1. Started with a 2.3.4 base model. No root. No nothing outside of stock.

2. Decided I wanted to install the light'ning ROM. Followed instructions to a "T" and all was well. Neat ROM, but a few hours later, I decided I wanted to try VillianROM. So, I installed Clockwork recovery.

3. Booted into Clockwork recovery. Didn't have the VillianROM image on my SD card yet. Thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and format my phone. Chose "wipe" from the menu. Confirmed. Wiped.

4. Went to install VillianROM. Oops, forgot to place the image on my miciroSD card. Now, I have no OS. Phone in reboot loop.

5. Searched XDA, google, etc, found lots of stuff on reboot loops, including warnings not to start new threads here because the fix is simple. Followed said simple fixes.

6. Downloaded proper factory image from here as per simple "don't panic" instructions here for those with reboot loops. Installed following directions via ODIN. Rebooted, and guess what. Still in a reboot loop.

7. No clue how to fix this, I reflashed the ODIN version of light'ning, the same way I originally started this mess, thinking this would help me.

8. No dice. Still in a violent reboot loop. No amount of flashing seems to do anything. All flashes are successful, but upon restart after flashing, bam, reboot sequence for infinity.

I'm pretty pissed as I have apparently screwed up my SGSII in a matter of minutes.

It's still rebooting constantly and I've tried all obvious "easy" steps. Someone please suggest something outside of what I will find when doing a search...otherwise, It's going back to Amazon for them to deal with.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
Chill bud

it's not an issue

Install Villain 1.1

to find this rom, goto the latest villain thread, goto the villain forums, and the ROM is there.

install this ROM via Odin and the phone will boot fine

then install the rooted kernel from chainfires thread matching the KE7 ROM

this will install CWM recovery. then copy the ROM of your choice to the sd card and flash as normal
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
I'm unable to gain access to the SD card, so how can I do this?

"To follow these instructions we presume you already have access to Clockworkmod recovery, and are able to put the zip file onto the SD card, and flash it."

There is no .tar or .md5 file in the Villain ROM folder for Odin to use.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Flash a "_user_low_ship" ROM. For example, the latest KH1 that you find on Samfirmware is that kind of ROM. Normally, just flashing this type of ROM normally without repartitioning should solve it.

If it doesn't, then you need to use the .pit file in the package and repartition. This will delete all your existing partitions and delete whatever is causing your problem too.
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
Thanks. So the re partition method involves selecting the PIT command in ODIN and making sure the "repartition" box is checked?
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
Just flashed the official ROM from samfirmware. Still in a reboot loop.

Looks like I need to do the repartition...but am not sure how. Can someone walk me through?
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
It's not different than normal flashing with Odin, except that this time in addition to pda, modem and csc, you select the pit file too, and then click repartition checkbox on the left. You don't select anything else. Then you click start.

Hovewer, I must warn you. I haven't understood the problem you have, and the solution I'm mentioning (repartitioning) while in theory should work, has the potential to make your situation even worse. Repartitioning is always risky and this is your own risk. Make sure you know what you are doing and you are taking full responsibility if you decide to do it.
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
I'm going to have to re-partition. No matter what I do or what I flash, it reboots constantly.

So, I have the original firmware from samfirmware .tar file for my model, the I9100UUBKG6 (Brazil model). I have also downloaded the .pit for this phone. When I flash these two files using ODIN, it still doesn't work. Reboot loop.

If I am going to reformat, I will need all these files:

PDA - have

Modem - where to get?

CSC - where to get?

PIT - have

Can someone point me where to find the missing two files above so I can do a total flash re-partition? Or can I re-partition with only the PDA and PIT using ODIN?

Thanks.

EDIT: I just followed the guide here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEjTaFg_2Ks

Used the appropriate PDA file from samfirmware. Also used the correct .pit file from samfirmware. Checked re-partition. Flashed. Still in a reboot loop. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. This is what ODIN looked like while running this process.

I'm out of ideas at this point. Just a continuous reboot.

Here is a video of the rebooting. It will not stop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRWXirjC8uY

EDIT: Well holy hell. I rebooted into recovery, wiped data and cache and it's now working again.

What a nightmare. That is all.
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
For future reference, if in ClockworkRecovery, you goto Advanced, you can mount your sdcard, connect phone via USB to PC, and copy ROM files to your sdcard.
[Galaxy S II General] ericshmerick:
Thanks. While in the reboot sequence, I did not have access to my microSD and did not have an SD reader adapter, so this step was not possible. And for some reason, holding vol up + home + power did not put me into CWR. It was the standard recovery...
[Galaxy S II General] manmikey:
I'm really glad you resolved your problem, I've been in similar positions myself its a horrible feeling....its why for now I'm sticking to official Keis updates only
[Galaxy S II General] m2smoe:
When this happens, you can always flash the CWR kernel via Odin in Download mode, it should enable CWR boot with volup+home+power.

Wifi dying after a period of time.

I have a similar issue with my X8.

The Wifi works fine for a while (longest so far has been about a month) and then it just stops working. It picks up no signal what so ever from anywhere (my home router, which is about a metre away, is currently "Not in Range").

I've tried multiple versions of Android 2.2 from XDA and am now running 2.3 from the following link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109563

The only way i've found to bring back the Wifi is to do a FULL restore (system, data, cache, everything). I've done abt 6 restores since i started using custom ROM's about 4 months back and am in the situation where i have to do another one now. This is getting EXTREMELY irritating and I would very much appreciate it if someone could give me a solution for this.

Also, I have a lot of trouble connecting to the internet at my uni. This has been an issue from the very beginning on the X8, even before using custom ROMs. It connects the first time and then refuses to connect a second time. To connect again i have to forget the connection and start again. I don't know to describe the Wifi type but the instructions for connecting to it are in the following link http://uqconnect.net/helpdesk/wireless/eduroam/android/.
