[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
which really means what if they are both running googles laggy buggy fractured os and samsungs bad drivers?

yes the gs2 is a remarkable piece of hardware but im not super thrilled about anything right now. maybe i'll get a nexus or an hd2 and put meego on it. forget new hardware and gaming/hd playback. there was nothing wrong with the old hardware, the problems are in the software.

apple with ios5 would look attractive if steve jobs wasn't the devil.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] evostevo1:
With a little development we can get it to a 6. If be plenty happy with that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
True.

In two weeks I shed my 40 hour a week job for no more than 20 hours a week of school. Then the fun can begin. Hopefully just in time for official GB.

The S2 against any phone currently is a big difference

...but I do like my big screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] evostevo1:
Looking forward to that! I believe this phone has a reasonable amount of potential even if it is an over clocked captivate. Lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
iOS 5 makes it hard to hate on the iPhone anymore.

If Apple would open up just a little, tiny, bit... add Flash, and some other minor things, they could wipe out Android.

One thing is certain, the Nexus Prime better be a home run, or Android/Google is in trouble.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] artisticcheese:
Is SGSII has the same screen resolution as Infuse?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
Nexus Prime or gtfo

Sent from my Infuse. It is what it isn't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
agree as sg s2 is easily available in my country(India).

The screen size & quality of infuse is killer.

Really Kudos to Gtg that he has given Gingerbread to us.

I have observed no lag with this device.

I feel no need for S2 :p

YES
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
After my few hours with Both the US SGS2 and the infuse side by side I can't disagree more...and that is saying much. Previously I honestly thought the differences would be minimal

web Pages and apps just simply load faster, the screen definitely looks better, more vivid and less "breakage" (i guess response is the work I am looking for there)

It seemed much more capable of multitasking in comparison to the infuse. It didn't bog down and lag like my infuse does.

Gps locked immediately..battery life was unchanged during my testing (however this could be misleading..I noticed the stock rom on the infuse drops in 15% increments)

I almost say, yeah, I will be picking one up and rotating our phones down to the kids...but I want to know more about what HTC has planned for release in the coming months...and am curious to know more about the prime that we keep hearing about....though from everything I have been told...Verizon will be getting that one first.

Keep in mind that I will never...and I mean NEVER pay more than $200 for a phone haha.. I purchase every phone we buy on contract for the contract price. So I could definitely say that I would never pay $700 for a phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Infiniti350GT:
The launch of an app or loading of a webpage speed depends on how heavy, type of page, apps open in background etc...etc... The SGSII is faster in these circumstances and I stated that previously & wouldn't fault that. However for someone that uses little system resource (like me) the overall speed & power is negligible. Just for an example hold the phones side by side and press the power button...the Infuse takes almost a full second LESS time for the screen to come on. Just this small detail for when you just want to check the time is noticeable by me. When I wait approx 2 seconds for the SGSII screen to come on...my Motorola razor came on faster....and with a mild set up I ran Linpak scores of 122 mflops...but I never got that feeling it was THAT fast. I was looking for that WOW factor that I thought was there....a millisecond here or angry birds popped up a nanosecond quicker...had zero affect on my life. It does multitask better with heavy duty apps but I don't run heavy duty apps to demand this of a phone on a daily basis. GPS is improved but again....read my post I live in the boonies and no matter what phone you have or service you pay for its not connecting out here. This area requires a full blown GPS...so phone GPS matters zero to me. I have tested it and it seems nice although I came from a captivate previously....so we all know what GPS issues it suffered out of the box.

The SGSII is faster, more powerful, multitasks better so on and so on...However this is negotiable by personal opinion depending on how you use it. I offer my experience from someone that does not demand much from a phone. I was seeking a WOW factor and had the money to play with, but it just didn't happen for me. Was nearly $700 worth something SLIGHTLY faster that you notice when holding two phones side by side....not really. Take the other phone away & what do you have....does that millisecond make a difference? It does when you are waiting on the screen to come on and in that case the Infuse sadly wins. I obviously wasn't looking for this to occur I really enjoy both phones. If I had to pick one...Infuse and I'll stick to that regardless of anyone's experience good or bad (since you had a good one that's great!) I on the other hand just don't see it. -as for the screen read this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124669
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hkeyman:
Ummm MUCH more...As I have mine OC'd to 1600Mhz and it runs like a dream. It seems like the Infuse handles the memory management much better than its predecessors. Much more POP and response to it from the usage side. The HDMI out capabilities with the included connector are awesome to have. Much, MUCH better sound output then the Cappy and yes the 4.5" screen is that proverbial Cherry on top that makes Netflix mobile and Internet a dream to have and use. Most are going the way of the SGSII but like a few that have mentioned for everyday use it is a great value not mention device to have. From a Dev side of things is not as active as the SGSII, but with that I think you get a tighter knit group of Dev's and testers that can concentrate and really get things working right without all the clutter and posturing. I have had the i997 for two weeks now and debated the trade back for the SGSII but from all that I am reading and experienced so far...I think I am happy and sticking with the Infuse for a while now. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Yes. Same exact everything but physical size. Because of that the SGS II is not as fuzzy as the Infuse on things like text.

[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
this is already in other posts
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Seems exactly the same as froyo, same speed at menu changes ect look exactly the same, will probly just stick with stock froyo if thats the case.
[LG Optimus 2x] Escobarretje:
Stupid LG didn't even updated the kernel...
[LG Optimus 2x] Barnabe619:
They still have the same kernel because they are waiting for some thing from nvidia. (That is what I understood)
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Updating the kernel doesnt do ****, how about a cup of 'inform yourself'.

They have most likely fixed the old one, which is enough.
[LG Optimus 2x] Escobarretje:
Original Gingerbread has a newer kernel so that should be better, why would google implement it then?
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Vista is newer than windows XP, so it should be better according to your logic.

New doesnt mean good. The kernel isnt that bad, just bugged. My guess is they're just going to fix the old one, which isnt a bad thing.
[LG Optimus 2x] PatrikS:
I dont follow your logic, so you mean its better for LG to make som arbitrary bugfixing on the faulty kernel than using a newer one, which of course has a few bugs killed by nvidia themselves.

Honeycomb does not use this old kernel despite its working, why is that?
[LG Optimus 2x] tombik99:
Definitivelly they solved that instalations freezig problem :-) I am really looking forward to that ROM :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
Battery color is really ugly with the rest in gingerbread green...
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Yea, you clearly don't follow my logic or else you wouldnt have anwered that question.

Because honeycomb is something completely different with entire new features and hardware supports.

GB is just an upgraded version of froyo, hence you wont need a completely newly coded kernel.

You guys need to get into coding before you open your silly mouth.
[LG Optimus 2x] Escobarretje:
You don't need it, but it IS better. Vista isn't better then XP. Not the kernel but defenitely also NOT the whole OS. But I guess we have to agree that Gingerbread is better then froyo right? Then why would google implement a new kernel? Because it's better and adds a few more features. And if LG doesn't, I don't like that.

I agree that it's not necessary but in my opinion it is a bit stupid.
[LG Optimus 2x] jura55:
And 2.6.36 IS totally new kernel???? NO!! Holy ****, nVidia released new VERSION of android/linux kernel for Tegra2 with some improvements (which can be used in GB), but STUPID LG continues bugfixing old one.... great example of stupidity!

And you are defending LG... Are you on of LG stupid managers leading LG SW development?

My knowledge of prog. languages: C#. ABAP, C/C++....
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
I just hope they will bring Icecream Sandwich to the O2X!

Off Topic:

Vista has always been better than XP.

Have had Vista professional x64 from the beginning and it was way better and stable from the beginning. I don't get the whole Vista bashing thing.

Probably because it was a bit different and people didn't want to learn something new.

Windows 7 x64 is far better then Vista of course but I recently had the opportunity to use a win XP PC again and I was shocked how antique and dull this OS is.

(All of the Microsoft Operating Systems together are quite ok and I'd still take a proper Linux distro over all of them when it comes to working with a PC. But for a mix of work, media and gaming Win7 is the way to go.)
[LG Optimus 2x] lintz:
I'm no LG fan boy. I wont sit here and defend them for there choice of kernel. If they pick a new one they probably have reasons for that. If they keep the old one its because they thing that it wont make any big difference with a new one. But what does the Linux kernel get each update??? Hopefully some people here like my self might be Linux users on desktops to and there for be able to answer that question. But for you them that might not know. Its drivers updates and compatibility with new hardware. Does the O2X have some thing that's shining new inside? Not any more. The kernel that they are using now in 10D does have support for all the current hardware inside the O2X and from that point of view no reason to update it.

PS: I'm a arch user and always love to have the "latest" but I'm afraid that even if they pick the last one by Nvida it wont change as much as people here thinks.
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
I'm not defending LG, they are a crappy company at all. I'm just saying fixing the old one isnt a bad thing since all of the GB goodes will be available to it.

Vista is a load of bull****, and far from being stable from the beginning, what are you talking about?

Wanna know something funny? Win 7 is heavily built on the Vista kernel, they just updated it. Bam.

And we're still able to get the newest updates.

My point is -> Just because something was ****ty, doesnt mean you cant improve it.

You guys are just crying for no reason, an old kernel doesnt mean something bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Kernel is a important thing too. Gingerbread was specially made on .36 kernel. Upgraded kernel adds many new features regarding sched, io operation and overall performance if specific hardware driver is well written:)
[LG Optimus 2x] jura55:
But that is the problem, without .36 kernel we can't use everything form GB, because some things need .36 kernel... This (.32 kernel + GB) will be only new problem-making "solution" from LG.....but that their way of doing things... my girlfriend also wanted 2x as I have... no no dear LG....I bought her Galaxy S2... and why? YES WE all know... so dear LG, continue in making this **** and loose all your customers....
[LG Optimus 2x] XT69:
what are those things that need the new kernel?
[LG Optimus 2x] davew:
Hold on, are we taking it as read then that the GB update will not include an updated kernel?
[LG Optimus 2x] 2dmaxhtc:
If that update gets rid of all the bugs and its fast and its gingerbread who cares about the kernel I love this phone and i'm not giving up on it.
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
There are none, thats the point. All those features also work on the old kernel, as tested by the Gb testers
[LG Optimus 2x] KeePeeR26:
;) Yap what u see is what u'll get, this version is almost done and nothing will be changed :cool: maybe in the future we will have more but for now that is it :cool:

@LG Italia - Life's Good Hello Fabrizio, for now Tegra2 Nvidia does not support kernel versions higher than that implemented. The update is always scheduled for the end of summer. See you soon
[LG Optimus 2x] 560934:
I hope in Ice Cream...That 'll be the real upgrade!
[LG Optimus 2x] ryaneu:
Gingerbread will be useless/pointless without a updated kernel. Some features require the new kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Tell me some.

I've heard rumours that nvidia is trying to get it to work :-\ Aint sure if I believe it though.

Anyone else getting HTC Sense force closes now that they've rooted their Slide?

I never got them before, but now they happen periodically. It's not terribly annoying but inconvenient sometimes.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nbetcher:
Check if /data/local.prop exists. If so, delete it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Just /data/local/

Same thing?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Try going back to stock and then re-rooting ? Sometimes things don't go right during the process.

My HTC Sense sometimes closes due to low memory, I get no Force close error message though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
The only thing i've had FC since rooting (but I dont think it's related) is my wifi calling app. It worked right after rooting but I changed the lcd density and some keys in the keymap. Oh and also installed a ton of other apps.

So I don't think my issue is related to root. Did you install a bunch of apps after rooting?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
No actually, only Ad Free.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
That shouldn't cause sense to FC.

I just found out that my wifi calling is FC'ing because of my lcd density.

I have it set to 190. It will FC at that. If I set it back to 240 it works.

I'm going to try 200, cause 190 is rather small with sense. on CM, 190 is perfect on my g2 but it doesn't look as small as it does on this version of sense.

Also, i have seen some WEIRD stuff with android. I rooted a friends g2 and as soon as it booted up and he logged in with HIS gmail account, EVERYTHING would start to force close. But if his wife logged in with hers (after a fresh reflash of the rom) the phone was fine. Likewise if he logged on her rooted g2 with his google account. He finally figured out it was because he checked the backup/sync box during the account setup. Once he unchecked that (but only for his account) the phone was fine.

I doubt this is what's causing your issue but try it, remove your google account and see if your FC stops, then readd it.

after flashing a new rom, i have tried several reboots and to clear data from market app without any result..

is there anything else to try? thank you in advance..

I downloaded an app, there was no response, went on to use the device further, after about 5 mins suddenly the download sign appeared in notification bar, and it was downloaded. So I think you should try again at another time later, maybe a server problem in Market.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
You can get Android to run on some Windows Phone-based phones but not vice versa, usually missing features or stability due to lack of hardware documentation. (I came from a device running xdandroid...)

Android kernels can be modified to run on new hardware, Windows Phone devices cannot since they are closed-source.

[Motorola Triumph] yellowsno12:
I've looked at other threads about this issue, and most have to do with installing a custom ROM, which I have not done, so I think this thread is appropriate.

Whenever I try to enable wifi on my triumph, it lists "Error" under the word Wifi in settings are will not scan for networks or even display a MAC address for the wifi device.

Im running a rooted stock triumph, I've tried rebooting, factory reset, stock nandroid backups, cleared /system, /data, davilk cache, Wefi, Wifi fixer, tried to start barnacle, all to no success.

Any help is appreciated. VM will not send me a replacement until they have refurbished models available, which could be weeks. I have weak data signal at home, so right now my triumph is mostly useless.
[Motorola Triumph] ceejay83:
Turning wifi off, turning the screen off and on, rebooting has helped me but it seems like yours is a hardware issue.
[Motorola Triumph] yellowsno12:
Virgin Mobile has finally come through. I just got off the phone with a very kind associate and she was able to get a new model replacement shipped to me. Solved.

EDIT: for any who were following, I booted into Cyanogen's alpha build, which has confirmed wifi loading, and still experienced the same problem. It's safe to say this was a hardware issue. Now I just have to wait for my replacement.

Just download and install the apk, you don't need root...

This doesn't unlock your original Maps but installs a different modified one that supports world wide navigation, so if you've got root you might wanna freeze the original Maps along with Navigation, Latitude and Places and install the apk with the modified ones.
