[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I ran single threads on the attain...and it beat the infuse every time 1.2 and 1.6 settings

Am I going to go out and buy one...maybe maybe not. we have 2 upgrades available on our lines so it is tempting....but that is also money i could spend on the vegas wedding coming up in Nov.

The wife to be thinks it is a good idea ...she would get the infuse and we would give her inspire to my son.

But then what do we do when the Holiday comes out? :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Infiniti350GT:
When I had my SGSII there were a few things I really liked compared to my Infuse. But none that justified $650 more for the UK model. The US model only difference is the home buttons are capacitive. To me in my use the battery life was fine & I can't tell any difference between that & my Infuse - there maybe a difference but its negligible in my mileage. I really enjoyed TW4...I think the experience would be better on a larger screen because of the widget interface & app screen interface. To me 4.5" screen is a must....in fact if there was a phone on the US market of similar spec with a 5"+ screen I would gladly go to it. The future Samsung with the rumored 5.3" screen sounds great to me though & that's not for everyone. Honestly 4.3 is just too small for ME (key factor here this is 100% my opinion) I will say that I did notice a difference in contrast and saturation on the SGSII that I did really enjoy though. The GB GUI experience is nice when the menus feel almost wet with the green stuff haha my photography (especially photo shopped stuff) looked horrible because I shoot highly saturated on a calibrated monitor it looks great on the SGSII....not so much, however I wish the Infuse was this way as the overall phone experience is better. These are very small nit picky differences though, I picked the Infuse for the screen and the fact that I noticed no difference in speed with (again key word) my use. I don't demand a ton of system resource from a phone & even in my own side by side testing with the phones I noticed a difference (When they were side by side!) when walking through my day...I couldnt tell you a single difference.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tailsthecat3:
Yes, actually. You have much to learn. Keep researching, you'll get it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Only very briefly, I didn't see any difference in performance in the few things I did. I'm sure it could've run some benchies and seenhigher or something, but USING the phone, I saw no speed difference over my Infuse with (at the time) infused 1.**, if anything the unrommed SGSII was actually a little slower when doing simple tasks like switching pages or opening the app drawer. Not fair to compare a tweaked rom to a stock phone anyway though IMO.

As far as the screen goes, I like the color and feel better on the Infuse. And the .2" DOES make a difference for me. I came from an Inspire 4g previously (4.3") and the 4.5" is a lot bigger to me when using the phone. The Infuse screen is what had me make the purchase alone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
So, for all the folks saying 'Galaxy is my next phone I'm outta here!'...

Please tell me what's the point of chanting it in the Infuse section? If you're going to switch phones, God/Buddha/Spaghetti Monster in the Sky, bless you and move on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
Two things.

First, a lot of these people probably have AT&T, and are just waiting for the AT&T-branded SGSII to come out before replacing their Infuse. Second, this is the internet, in which people seem to feel that complaining isn't just a right; it's a duty.

I'm still on the fence personally, whether I will want to return my Infuse and swap for the AT&T SGSII once it's available, so I appreciate the posts with actual comparisons, even if the posturing one way or another does become tiresome.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Did you read this thread at all before posting this?

A.) That is not what this post topic was.

B.) They posted that because I asked.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dxtra:
In my opinion there's nothing wrong with the infuse. Performs everyday task with no problem. But here comes the decision factors.

1. Spec - we all know the SGS2 it's faster period.

2. GB 2.3.4 - Selling factor to me plus more support from att and Samsung

3. Android OS ice cream from what I'm reading will only run on dual core phones.

4. 12 Sub pixels vs 8 sub pixels on the infuse. The oled screen it's better.

The only downside to me screen size, but 4.3 it's not that bad I could live with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
I appreciate the comparison posts as well, but the ones that are just complaints are the ones I wonder about.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
I'm guessing I read it better than you read what I posted or else you wouldn't have responded to me like a prick.

I saw nothing wrong with your original post btw.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
Can anyone confirm this? I know ice cream is supposed to be better-optimized to support additional processing cores, but I hadn't heard that it would require them.

Either way OS version is an obvious plus in the SGSII column. Even if the i777 isn't completely compatible with every i9100 ROM, they can probably be adapted more easily as Samsung releases updates and AT&T lags behind. Considering the lag time between release of gingerbread, release of Infuse, and the (still "soon") release of gingerbread for Infuse from AT&T, it's probably a safe bet that the Infuse will never see ice cream anyway.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
The SGS II has an easier to use screen with a higher pixel density and greater clarity. Clearly better than the Infuse screen.

Battery life remains to be seen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tailsthecat3:
What's the res? 800x480? I'm all set with 800x480@4.52".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] VtHondaGuy08:
Battery life isnt bad at all, in the picture its at 41%.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I grabbed a pic or two side by side tonight...i will try and post tomorrow. the samsung guy keeps a pretty close eye so i couldnt get much.

His test phone is still on 2.3.4 but they have had 2 updates that he hasnt received. I really really wanted to get a system dump but he wouldnt let me haha.

I did have a chance to test video...it does record 720 at 30fps and 1080 at about 26fps

I have not had the phone for more than an hour or so each time that I played with it. The guy reports it is great unless playing games or videos
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Infiniti350GT:
The entire reasoning behind the design/development of Ice Cream is to relieve the issue of all the fragmentation. There are many different phones out there running different OS's or different versions of the same OS. They want to have an OS that can be loaded on all devices and provide an experience between Honeycomb and Gingerbread. I'm actually looking forward to it more than Gingerbread. Now as far as how quick at&t does not release updates. I rather run a custom ROM at least then I know I'm not stuck with at&t bloatware & it would probably be a better experience any way. -you hear about an update start checking here first haha.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
What size battery does yours have though? I believe the att version got a smaller battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Infiniti350GT:
The ONLY difference between at&t's version & the foreign models are the capacitive buttons at the bottom compared to a physical home button. The batteries are identical even the pin location - same capacity.

*Edit - Googled it....I was wrong the SGSII is smaller by 100mah.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
Its crazy how much the Galaxy SII looks like the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] VtHondaGuy08:
1650 so thats what 50 mah smaller then the infuses?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
as promised..sorry they are blurry..I actually haven't used my point and shoot since buying an android phone lol. not to mention I had only a few moments left alone with the phone while he was "occupied"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddie Bombay:
holy **** I lol'd.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
The infuse is... noticeably bigger. In a good way
[Samsung Infuse 4G] baudilus:
I'll share my experience.

I went from a captivate to the Infuse about two weeks ago. I've had no issues, now running Infused 2.1.0. No GPS issues. No slowness. I love the 4.5 screen. Running plenty of customization apps etc.

That said, if the GS2 is the same price as the Infuse was, I will be eating the restocking fee and getting the GS2, and here's why:

While the 4.3 inch screen is a disappointment, it may be made up for by the pixel density and improved contrast.

Applications have a propensity to become larger and consume more resources. While Widget Locker and ADW might be great now, in the future they (and future android updates and apps) may require additional resources. The dual core CPU and additional RAM may not exhibit performance improvements now, but it's more future-proof than any single core phone.

Battery life is not really a concern for me as I am almost always in a place where I can charge it.

There will likely be more custom ROMs available for the GS2 than the Infuse, which can also be built on AT&Ts gingerbread, rather than some international variant causing all kinds of issues. For instance, I cannot download mp3s from the amazon app because it thinks I'm Canadian. Not to menton the modem issues.

Since my 30 day return period is up on the purported release date of the GS2, it will have to seriously disappoint me in the store for me to consider sticking with the Infuse.

I learned my lesson when iOS4 came out and my iPhone 3G (no S) became nigh unuseable.

Sorry for the long post, didn't intend it to be so long.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Terrigno:
To be honest, I don't think I'm going with Sammy again. They really suck ass with updates. Its not ATTs fault. Its Sammy's. The attrix got 2 updates QUICK when I owned it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AiyoX:
My exact reason for justifying why I want this phone too. Except, I'll be giving my mother my infuse and using her upgrade to get the SGSII. :D

I love my infuse, but the SGSII was what I was originally aiming for.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
AT&T, Samsung... they're both second fiddle to Google.

Google has (and continues to) sit idly by and allow the fragmentation problem to grow and grow and get worse and worse...

Maybe ICS will fix it. It probably won't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
I'd rather never get a single official update than buy another Motorola phone. The Atrix just proved for me that nothing has changed with them, terrible phone IMO. The inspire was a huge step up and the Infuse walks all over it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] XGX5309:
That.

Motorola has a different customer in mind for their devices... mostly business users that will use the lapdock and Citrix support. Media support is second fiddle to that, even though it has a dedicated HDMI port.

The Infuse is marketed as a pure media device... lots of storage, HDMI output, plays almost every a/v codec, and has the most gorgeous screen ever. All that in addition to being a very quick device. Samsung seems to prioritize UI smoothness where Motorola doesn't.

And about the updates... look at the i9000's update schedule, then tell me Samsung doesn't push updates. :rolleyes: The reason the Infuse 4G doesn't have Gingerbread yet is purely in AT&T's hands.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
Whether AT&T or Samsung or somewhere in between, I'm never going back to LCDs from Samsung's AMOLED screens. There is just no comparison, and if it means I have to wait extra months for Ice Cream when it comes out, so be it. Plus, hopefully updates will be released for the European GSII and will be ported. :)

I'm definitely looking forward to the higher pixel density too; I can pretty clearly see the pixels when I look closely at my Infuse. Here's to hoping AT&T gets it out sooner rather than later.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I am totally digging the thrill right now. not getting rid of the infuse...but as of right now I dont see any reason to buy another phone until we get LTE
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daddymatt:
I have the euro sgsII and side by side the infuse is a joke... I got the infuse last week to play around with and coming from the sgsII it is *almost* unusable.... I know if you havnt ever used one and your just looking at the stats your like "it cant be much different" but trust me, its night and day... On that note, i have an infuse for sale if anybody wants one pm me. Just an fyi, im not slamming the infuse. Im sure if i had never used the sgsII for so long i would think it was amazing... But its like eating filet for 4 months and then sitting down at a bigmac.... The bigmac isnt discusting, but its no filet either.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rikochet33:
Do you really need a dual core? I think not, because the majority of apps still yet not optimized for that purpose...

-Battery life with heavy cpu usage will drain battery life anyways... so, you´ll have to stay plugged in constantly to get some more battery life.

-The screen of the Infuse is so freakin' huge, that .2 vs the screen of the Galaxy SII is really appreciated. Besides, SGSII no really had 4.3", this had 4.27" so... when having both devices in your hands you really notice the differences between them.

-Responsiveness on the Infuse of course is not the same compared to the SGSII when you´re playing 1080p and shifting to the browser to download a file, but difference is minor, a little little little lag on the Infuse but not to get worry about that... you are not on a computer to fly away with processor speeds...

-I think that 512 mb RAM is sufficient for now, I never full the load of proccesses, always close and reopen the apps, never leave in background, so this is enough for me.

-I hate that physical home button on the SGSII... industrial design fails out for me in this case.

-I hope that Samsung make in the future a supercharged version of the Infuse, with 4.5", dual core, 1gb ram, RADIO FM... it will be a superphone for me. Oh! I forget to mention battery life, it will be better if had a 2000 mAh...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vmatt:
Just ordered refurb'd infuse for, wait for it, $19! Grandfathered in my unlimited! God I love a bargain!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daddymatt:
I dont know about any of that... I DO know that side by side, the infuse is as slow as a snail... Take it how you will but i have both in front of me and the infuse is REALLY slow.... So the sgsII has SOMETHING going for it that the infuse does not... Im no developer or "expert", all i know is "real world" performance... And side by side (again like i have them RIGHT NOW in front of me) there is no comparrison... Not even close... The infuse isnt even close... Now, whether you "need" that or not, only you can tell, but i personally want the fastest and the best, which for now, is the sgsII.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tailsthecat3:
Yuck
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rikochet33:
Well, in that case, go for the SGSII, another reason that I not mention was the price... I get my Infuse 4G for $600 on eBay, so I get for what I paid, if I was had the money, maybe I'll go for the SGSII, but... is so much much money for a phone (for me, of course), I prefer to had this for now, and wait for a year when phones comes with better processors and ram at lower prices...

I´m not multitasking user, practically I bought the phone for the screen, for watch videos and movies, so this is it for me...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ms.Dummbunny:
I think The Sprint SGS ii Epic Touch will also suffer from the "checkerboard loading"

i owned the Infuse for a week and then the ET4G on Sprint was anounced and i returned it, as i hadn't cancelled my Sprint acct so it came just in time.

The checkerboarding drove me crazy TOO, but ONLY at first....

Once i researched it, i started seeing it turn up on tons of dual core phone review videos and also i read all up on it. From what i read, they say that is a product of the page loading faster than the browser can display it, and that if not for the checkerboard it'd be big white spaces that might not be as noticiable, but the checkerboarding is an O/S instruction for the pixels to fill the page... So once i understood it was "on purpose & commonplace on faster phones", it didn't bug me...

Also, knowing it won't happen if you use a slower browser OR wait for the page to fully load before touching the screen (like THAT's possible...lol)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Coldheat1906:
How did you get your Infuse for $19?? and Where? I am looking to get one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
The Infuse was great. I had one problem with it though - RAM. It doesn't have enough for me. My Inspire with 768 mb is doing the job, but 512 isn't enough. I love the Infuse, but that was a deal breaker. The GSII is essentially a better Infuse, with the additional RAM I'm looking for.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
Interesting, what do you use the extra ram for? I have yet to find anything on the Infuse that isn't faster than my inspire was. I loved my Inspire as well,great phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
My running services are filled with all sorts of things. DSP Manager, Tasker, Missed It, Bird Bar, Smart Taskbar, and a bunch of other things (widget services, setcpu, etc.). I've actually found the Infuse to feel smoother/faster, but the Inspire is more powerful. For example, when I loaded all the same things onto an Infuse it would only have around 100mb of free ram. When opening a resource intensive browser (Dolphin, Miren, etc.), it would dip much lower. I didn't have a lot of room to add anything else. That was my problem with the Captivate. After a while, I would get low memory notifications (RAM) and services were unreliable. So I've been using the Inspire, and have yet to use a device with less than 768mb of RAM since then.

The thread that showed me how to root was incredible. Step by step instruction led me to success on the first try. You guys are awesome....thanks. I feel like I need that on Flashing ROM's to have an understanding of it.

Where can I find the list of available ROM's?

How do I go about actually flashing the ROM?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank

[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
Look in the dev section for all available roms. Look in the stickies tab for instructions on flash. Basically, boot into recovery, make a nandroid backup, wipe everything except your sd card and then flash away. Before doing anything though read read read and read some more.

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G General] wmdunn:
Welcome aboard ... lots to learn, but not complicated. There is a list of all the roms in the development stickies, but reading through that forum is your friend. There are rooted stock sense roms (which I would try first), lots of themed variations, and aosp (cm, deck, salvage, omgb). Probably the most important thing to learn is how to wipe properly between flashing different roms, especially between sense and aosp. In recovery it's pretty self explanatory, just be sure to always backup ... including your wimax keys. In addition to wiping, I always flash Calkulin's "format all" zip before a new rom.

If you find yourself preferring aosp, be sure to keep a sense rooted backup, so that you'll be able to update your profile and prl. Be sure to read, read, search, and then ask your questions. Everything you need to know, has been asked and answered many times ... good luck.
[EVO 4G General] Blipstein:
Thanks guys. Already very helpful. Lots of info here. I'll update you on what happens

[EVO 4G General] airportcabbie:
Some Pointers

First of all get rid of clockwork (the growing consensus is that it doesn't wipe well)

Use Amon_RA instead.

Second, make a nandroid of your WIMAX and stash that in a very safe spot just in case your wimax gets corrupted somewhere down the line.

Then as others have said

1. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong

2. Wipe (x3) (You can also use a script like superwipe or KingsMOD-FORMAT_ALL)

3. Flash ROM, kernel, mods, etc.

4. Enjoy!:)
