[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
The only thing I noticed that grabbed my attention when testing out the sgs2 and sensation was it's weather animations and nice funky if a little busy lockscreen, other than that the sgs2 screen simply blows the slightly unnoticeable higher res screen that is ever so washed out, the sgs2 is noticeably faster to use, not entirely convinced by all the sense clutter myself but that's a personal opinion, the physical weight of the sgs2 is so much lighter in the hand pure bliss to hold up and read books while lying in bed arms never get tired, playing dungeon hunter 2 on the sgs2 is eyepopping joy compared to the drab looking dungeon world on the sensation, build quality of the sgs2 is always knocked, in my opinion how they plastic engineered so much ram, memory and CPU with such a large battery and screen into such a light package is astounding, being an ex plastic design engineer I guess I get excited about such twaddle, there you go my real world non spec view on the situation, just buy the sgs2

It's true, no one does Weather better than HTC. As a matter of fact, no one comes close. If HTC sold their weather app on the market Beautiful Widgets would have to file for bankruptcy. The other area HTC does a good job on is their keyboard. The HTC IME is fantastic and their auto-correct function is as good if not better than the iPoo

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lulabby:
Sen has wifi losing signal when you hold it landscape and you will definitely be very disappointed. Whereas galaxy s2 has yellow tint problem but it can be fixed by newest rom.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dugas1000:
The more important think is when we are talking about quality to check everything.

Scratch proof screen

S2 : Yes Gorilla Display

Sensation : NNNOOOOOO

This is quality people. I checked a brand new sensation and it was already scratched because the girl(owner) had it inside her bag. What a pity for a device that right now has the same price (Greece) with SGS2. If you like sensation think again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teppic24:
Incorrect. The Sensation also has Gorilla glass. And please bear in mind it is entirely possible to scratch Gorilla glass, no matter what device is using it. It is scratch resistant, not scratch proof

Hell, even my old HTC Desire has Gorilla glass. Anyway, it's upgrade time for me and I was torn 50-50 between the Sensation (as I really like the HTC devices, and Sense in particular) and the S2, I've decided after a LOT of research that my next phone is 99% likely to be the S2. If someone ports Sense 3.0 to it I'll be in heaven.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I watched the video below and bought the S2, the screen on the blows the Sensation out of the water, I hope the link works :p

EDIT : also how can the sensation have 768mb of memory, I always though you could only buy in multiples eg 32,64,128,256,512,1024mb how do you get 768mb , ??????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
GS2 ... why ? because sense is ****, htc is ****, and the sensation is utter ****.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nraudigy2:
512+256=768 very common
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
that`s two chips instead of one 1024mb one, memory is so cheap it makes you wonder why they are so stingy, maybe all those pennies add up :D
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
I'm sorry if there is another thread/post about this, but I searched and couldn't find one. With the new update, 2.08.651.2, I noticed that you can now take screenshots without having to root your phone.

This can be done by holding down the power button and pressing the home button.

The screen flashes, the phone vibrates (from pressing the home button) and it gives you a message telling you the screenshot was saved to camera shots. In your camera shots album, it will show the screenshot. The screenshot is an OK quality JPG.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
All I got was a black pic, I also have my resolution set at 190 dpi, so that may have borked it. I use drocap anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
you mean like on an iphone or ipad? hold power and home?
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Yep. Just like you would on an iPhone/iPad. Just hold down the power button and click home. When you release the power button, it will tell you the screenshot was successfully taken, but it still takes the screenshot right when you press home.
[HTC EVO 3D] royolpunk:
There is an app called no root screenshot it on the market but its really annoying because you have to plug your phone into your computer every time you reboot
[HTC EVO 3D] louiedoesit:
Yup works over here .. Non Rooted.. It didnt do this until the new update yesterday..
[HTC EVO 3D] vanisleguy1976:
It wasn't until reading this thread and trying out the power-home combo that I realized my evo came with 2.3.4 right out of the box! LOL.... I'll stop hitting 'check now' like a maniac!
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Haha, you could have also checked what version of Android you were running in 'About Phone'.
[HTC EVO 3D] vanisleguy1976:
Shoulda, coulda, woulda... But I naively assumed that all evo's came loaded with the prior version!

I feel like such a noob! LOL... Lesson learned B-)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smash_07:
Hi all. I recently had do downgrade my Desire HD to version 1.26 as I was on custom rom and wanted to go back to stock due to warranty issues. Then after I flashed the downgrade image I updated using the normal update method of the HTC menu. What happens now is that the firmware is on wrong region. It only lets me choose between English, French, Italian and Spanish on both UK and Ireland regions. I want Portuguese (Portugal) and it is not letting me even update to version 2.50 that I had before moving to custom roms.

Any help on how to change the region?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smash_07:
Well it seems like I found the problem, the CID was set to HTC__001 which is the UK one. I have found a post with the CID codes and I found for Portugal to be HTC__506 and so I set it to that code. And now I can choose Portuguese (Portugal) but another problem happens and that it doesn't detect updates. Is the firmware not correct to this CID setting?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
AFAIK there's only one n64 emu, that being n64oid. Its not available on the Android Market, though, you'll need to sideload it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00cubano:
I actually saw a few on the market plus theres other kinds you can sideload
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandonBlight:
Don't get any of the knock off/stolen n64 Apps from the market.

http://slideme.org/application/n64oid

This is the original. The rest are exact copies of this application, being sold by Other people for profit. I suggest reporting them.

The original got kicked off of the official market for not following the rules of some open source files and releasing his source, but that's a whole nother story.

Swifted from my Atrix.
[EVO 4G General] jjseis:
Ok so my girls evo 4g is still stock and NONrooted. She was having some connection issues and we called up sprint. They had me punch in some numbers in a menu that came up buy pressing ##somenumbers#. after i entered the numbers they told me to a promt came up saying "press ok to reboot" and i did that. after that the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. They dont know wtf happened so they are sending her a replacement but since its on "back order" (wonder why, they're always on backorder lol) they say itll prob take about 1 week or 2 before we get it and in the meantime i dont need her tieing up my phone (its MINE gdamit) im wondering what i can do. The phone will go into Hboot and Android recovery (3e) so i was considering trying to install the PC36img on her phone but i dont want to screw anything up. and since i cant get bast the boot screen i dont know what to look for so i dont mess up.

Again:

STOCK NONroot (ever)

S-On

Boot loop

please help.

Thank you
[EVO 4G General] bakin8r:
Will it let you get to the hboot? Pull out the battery for a few seconds then reolace it. Hold power and volume up. If you can get to the hboot you might be able to do a factory reset or even relash the stock rom

Sent from rooted Evo CM7
[EVO 4G General] jjseis:
it will let me into hboot and from there i can go into recovery. BUT when in recovery i get the phone icon with 3 green arrows going in a circle then shortly after it turns to a phone icon with a red triangle/exclimation. when i get the text to come up it Android System Recovery <3e> in blue text and gives me the following options

Reboot System now

Apply update from sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

and then under it in yellow text i get the following:

E:can't open /cache/recovery/command

E:can't mount /data/data/recovery/log

E:Can't open /data/data/recovery/log
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Put the sdcard in a card reader and put in a ruu zip pcmwhatever.zip at the root of the card, boot into hboot and say yes to all prompts once it finds the file in hboot. Remember, it must be. Stock sprint ruu
[EVO 4G General] jjseis:
well thats what i was thinking of doing but cant seem to find a recent one and ive been to Shipped roms but im not sure what the latest ota one is

the current image version on the phone rite now is 4.24.651.1
[EVO 4G General] Nick N:
I will help you out if you haven't found the solution by the time I get home. Basically find the zip of 4.24, rename it PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card. Boot into hboot and it will scan and find the file. Follow the prompts and you should be good.

The site to get it from is Goo.inside.me or something like that. It would be in the Supersonic section
[EVO 4G General] jjseis:
thats exactly my problem i cant seem to find a 4.24 zip that hasn't been messed with and ive been searching all over the place
[EVO 4G General] jjseis:
i think i just found it... ill keep you posted
[EVO 4G General] bakin8r:
I cant seem to find the stock 2.3.3 either.. in the hboot try scrolling down to clear storage and try a factory reset, otherwise you will need to flash the stock rom. If I can find one I will post a link

that one worked but its not resized :(
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
what are you wanting resized the black on the screen? the frames and the desc were edited to fit the screen. I think the white boarder is suppose to be like that.
[HTC EVO 3D] clark44:
The whole boot animation doesn't fit the screen. I need it qhd compatible
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
Thats weird the frames are the correct size and the desc is 540x960. How short is it, anyway to get a pic so i can see.

[EVO Shift 4G General] gigermunit:
Ended up not doing it just nand to an old mikg1.4 backup
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Have you tried just rebooting after a restore? I found CWM would restore my sd-ext but wouldn't mount it the first time. If I rebooted it'd be fine. Or try just going into backups and doing an advanced restore of just your sd-ext partition.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] finalhit:
i did, and it's hit or miss. rebooting it several times seems to get it eventually mount, but after my last bout when i decided to leave the CM7 setup to try the new sense3.0 (didn't like it), when i tried to go back, i couldn't get it mount at all. later i found out, it's possibly my version of cm7 nightly.

it was too late though, since i panicked, and ended up carelessly formatting my sd. (lost my Titanium backups). this is really more of a user error, than anything else, but i'm still a bit weiry of switching roms.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
I have to say that I am just wowed at the RTM version of Windows Phone Mango. I know that the drivers are not optimized for my Dell Venue Pro due to me forcing the RTM and I know that most of you dislike WP7 but WOW. It is undoubtedly even smoother than iOS and certainly beats out the smoothness of android. I didn't think you could get smoother than iOS as the hardware is built for the OS all by the same company but kudos to windows for how amazing a job they've done. The facebook, twitter, and linkedin integration clearly exceeds the social network integration of any other OS and the gaming is just amazing. I know iOS currently has us beat in that department but with Microsofts uncanny ability to throw infinite funds at whatever the hell they need to I don't see that being an issue for too long. Aside from that the OS is buttery smooth, the market place is filling fast, it's got everything an OS needs and then some and of all the OSes I've tried on the hundreds of devices I've had, I'm in love.
[General Questions and Answers] Racxie:
My brother has a Dell Venue Pro and he's had a hell of a lot of issues with it. He just finally managed to update it to the latest version the other day so I don't know if it's managed to iron out any of the issues yet.

So what I was wondering is have you had any issues with yours? And what about after updating it to Mango?
[General Questions and Answers] hungry81:
Wow its smooth. Who cares? Its also ugly as hell, has annoying transitions (giving you your illusion of smoothness) and is incrdibly boring. My phone is smooth, (Even American Android ROM on SD is amazing) Runs multiple operating systems, has the benefit of multiple marketplaces, and other app sources as well as multi platform games. (from classic pc games to console emulators to mobile time wasters) is fully customisable, and most importantly IS FUN!!!!!!! The only downside is the battery life. (1 day on SD android which is fair enough as I have livewallpaper and tonnes of widgets) When microsoft produces a comparable phone please let me know, but untill then have fun scrolling around your boring menus smoothly.
[General Questions and Answers] jianC:
lol, the op is a funny guy. He hates android and then goes fanboy on wp7.

I run wp7 on my hd2 myself, running YukiXDA's v5 NoDo, and its ok, it's not as great as Android and I do feel rather limited with the tiles and simplistic menus..
[General Questions and Answers] jasongw:
Ugly as hell? No offense but what the **** are you smoking? WP7 is hands down the best looking mobile OS on the market. It makes iOS and Android look archaic and stale by comparison.

Android has it beat on features and app count, but as for usability? NOTHING approaches the usefulness or beauty of WP7. It's UI design is award winning for a reason--because it's great :).
[General Questions and Answers] jasongw:
There's no doubt Android is the more customizable OS with the bigger app catalog, but there's nothing "simplistic" about Live Tiles--they blow icons AND widgets out of the water, especially in Mango.

There's little question that WP7 is still in its infancy, but MS nailed the user interface dead on, and with Mango it only got better :) (ran an iPhone for 2+ years and run Gingerbread on a rooted Nook--I like 'Droid, it's a great OS, but WP7's UI is simply superior).
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
yup, your phone is smooth on wp7, runs 1 good OS and a few laggy ones with vast marketplaces, emulates (which is admittedly nice but with real high quality games on your OS who needs em?), is customizable, but regardless of customization will be laggy and ill-responsive, and if you're a crack flasher its fun. I like spending my time using my phone, not putting a new rom on it on a daily basis. I'll let you know that many years ago Microsoft released winmo5, it does all you apparently need minus the vast marketplace full of low quality apps and malware. Enjoy using a broken UI, I'll enjoy having a UI that moves when I want it to.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
the device had more than its fair share of issues before the official dell update, shotty camera, random reboots, and crappy connection all on account of poor drivers made by dell, now it's astounding. Mango just improved it, you won't find a smoother device out there.
[General Questions and Answers] downloaderintruder:
Its not ugly, its bold and informative.

Its not annoying transitions, its dynamic.

Its not boring, its simplistic and intuitive.

Your phone is laggy. Androids are laggy, even with supercalifragilisticexpialidocious hardware.

What's the point of running multiple OS's when you're not gonna use them all at the same time.

Emulators are lame, it can't beat the real thing.

Full customization means endless possibilities of making your phone look so good its wasting time, wasting time = waste of battery -> waste of money.

Its not fun because its laggy and ugh and yuck and spit.

Microsoft already went there, the most recent version of Windows Mobile that can be compared to andr-yuck is Windows Mobile 6.5, and then Microsoft moved on to WP7.

Have fun playing and flashing your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] jasongw:
Ummm, that's going too far. Android is a great OS. It's UI is nowhere near as good as WP7's, but that doesn't make it a bad OS. Just a stale one :)
[General Questions and Answers] Gusar321:
I sooo love the "Android is laggy" crowd. They're cute.

"Who cares about features, WP7 is smooooooooooooooth. Weeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!1111"

Erm, yeah, so is my CM7 (and I could swear the Eclair my phone came with was too).
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
But it is just so boring, and yes, bloody ugly.

Why did MS get it's inspiration from a kid's toy? They sent out WP7's made of Lego so even MS think it looks blocky and dull. Heck they had to blackmail their staff into using WP7 handsets.

I'm sure there are a few people who are into lists and excessive scrolling, I'm one of the majority who aren't.

I do feel it's good that minority products are made though to cater for such interests.

Incidentally, have they fix the issue with listening to movies over Bluetooth with the Mango update or is it still lacking that basic feature?
[General Questions and Answers] Racxie:
I think he's had more problems than just that; he can't even use the marketplace! Thanks for the reply though, might be able to convince him to get the beta even if he does have a tendency to avoid anything "not official". I'm currently just trying to keep my Omnia 7 unlocked (having problems with updating the diagnosis tool).

I'm going to avoid the fanboy flamewar that's started on this thread, though I will say that as much as I do love my WP7, I would like to get an Android alongside it. As for the iOS, well...I had an iTouch which I loved (sold it recently to get an upgrade), but I would never get it as a phone.

One thing's for sure though: They all have their pros and cons; they're all far from "perfect".
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
one more updated android phone will always seem smoother than its predecessor but in comparison to a hardware accelerated UI they just aren't. I care quite a bit about features and with the release of Mango I have tons of features that I would've spent days finding on xda and the marketplace just to have a comparable device. These features are all right out of the box.
[General Questions and Answers] Magic Oreo:
erm coulda i swear cm7 is smooth, and if ya didn't know gingerbread android is hardware-accelerated, could be better, but it is :D.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
No idea where you're getting your information from but it's wrong... Samsung has modified it with the GS2 to make it about 90 percent hardware accelerated but that's about it...
[General Questions and Answers] TheMavic:
I run MIUI with a custom kernel that is underclocked to .8 and it runs smooth as butter. Plus, its entirely themeable so if the UI gets boring, just switch it. I also get almost 2 days of battery with mild use. WP7 is cool but I think it still has a lot of catching up to do.
[General Questions and Answers] jasongw:
I don't find it dull at all. I see where it could be, if you lumped all your same color tiles together, but I stagger them out and pin other apps with colorful live tiles to my start screen and it ends up looking very nice.

But issue #1 is simple usability. WP7 has it in spades, Android and iOS don't, at least not to the same degree. And as a 2+ year iPhone user and current iPad and Android on Nook user, I'll tell you this: I spend FAR less time scrolling in WP7 than in either of the other OS's.

As for A2DP, it works fine for me and always has.
[General Questions and Answers] jasongw:
CM7 IS smooth, and it's a very nice OS. But it's not as smooth or as fast as WP7, especially Mango.
[General Questions and Answers] jasongw:
I agree that it has some catching up to do in the feature set, but Mango really does get it about 90% of the way there. It's removed every major ***** I had early on (and I had a lot :P), and added features I didn't think I would care about but turned out to be fantastic. I truly can't see myself switching off WP going forward ever again.
[General Questions and Answers] vetvito:
Is that a joke? A live tile is a knock off, half assed widget.

Widgets can actually perform a task, your live tile ONLY gives pieces of information.
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
I'm not referring to A2DP in general, I'm specifically talking about the WP7 failing that disallows listening to movies via Bluetooth.

Wait!? You mean that the music tile doesn't have features like the droid music widgets (ie able to pause, forward and back tracks etc)?
