[Galaxy S II General] Killbynature:
Manufacturers don't lack on updates to be precise carriers lack on updates. If certain carrier bloatware doesn't work on your device because an update. Your update will be delayed if everyone would get updates from strictly Google everyone would have updates. If samsung wants to push this as a galaxy 2 they probably already have updates in store for this device as well as the other variants. Touchwiz has gotten lighter than sense. It doesn't take over your whole phone like htc sense does. Let's not mention the facts that qualcomm processors have a tons of support due to past htc devices. The processor in the hercules is almost identical to the touchpad and sensation. Look how much development the touchpad has gotten. Look at the sensation development. Just because you have 15-20 devs on one phone doesn't always necessary mean the development is good. We could only have 1 dev but he could push of quality roms and kernels. ROMs won't vary much anyway mostly stock roms and cm7 kang roms and miui.
[Galaxy S II General] movieaddict:
good point! +1
[Galaxy S II General] cashyftw:
Okay, but what does this have to do with T-mobile pushing updates?
[Galaxy S II General] Killbynature:
Its comes with 2.3.5 all the other updates aren't really that big till ice cream sandwich which we are guaranteed to get.
[Galaxy S II General] Jasonhunterx:
There is no point of buying this phone just get an HTC phone pretty much guarantee same hardware just different screen now if it had exynos I wouldn't really care about support like that it just bothers me when I think about the devs
[Galaxy S II General] Killbynature:
The only thing is the same is gpu maybe and processor. Exynos is a beast but it's not the only processor that is capable.
[Galaxy S II General] Jasonhunterx:
But those are main things that we use in everyday use do that's like original galaxy not having humming bird equally good but just not it
[Galaxy S II General] movieaddict:
i dont know if Jasonhunterx is a troll looking to get a rise out of everyone or just the most negative person in the world? havent firgured that out yet?? or hes samsungs worlds worst fan
[Galaxy S II General] Jasonhunterx:
Lol Mix of all of those but im biggest fan i like samsung i just hate the face that this is kind of not a real Galaxy S2 More like Galaxy Z2 it is missing what makes a galaxy a galaxy The Cpu an Gpu there is other phones with Amoled screens an that are thin with front facing cams an etc an i would take a Hercules over my Vibrant but is it really worth the 500$ to get thats not a real part 2 an im not Negative just real an the real world is Negative
[Galaxy S II General] :
You do know that one processor is better than other in performing certain tasks. I don't know what you are running but most games on Android do fine with Adreno gpu. Exynos processor is good but don't think that the qualcomm processor can't beat it in certain tasks in performance in the end benchmarks test no way prove a processor performance in real life situations. Android isn't yet at computer status where you can't run a game or something program because of your gpu. You can have a great processor a crap software. The processor won't live up to its performance. In the end choices are yours if you don't want to get the phone don't. Next year samsung galaxy s3 will be out next year. The fact that this phone has more bands than most phones already makes it a must get besides the 4.5 screen makes me want the phone. In the end a phone needs to do what's its meant to be a phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Jasonhunterx:
Im not basing my thoughts off of using the sensation an yes i know that Sense slows down phones an it was fast but did not feel like using a GS2 S2 just felt like i could destroy anything without no hiccups yes Qualcomm does beat Exynos in somethings but it just would not be the same for me but really its personal prefrence an i run a lot of games
[Galaxy S II General] :
I don't think samsung Galaxy 2 for tmobile has programed asynchronous cores like the other dual core htc devices. They are probably perfectly synchronization in this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
who cares about benchmarks? all the benchmarks can be easily faked, we call know that.

the important thing is that the phone can run smooth like silk, with the favourite ROM that you like.

if the phone can play games, videos, and multitask without lagging, then that all i need.

Faster Better CPU doesn't mean squat if the kernel is not optimized

simple example, my current phone Nexus S was playing Asphalt 6 HD just fine on stock 2.3.4 + netarchy

on pure stock it would lag a bit

then i switched it to CM7 + netarchy and it was performing like crap on games, and that was even OC to 1.4

then i switch to CM7 + trinity kernel, and is undervolted and stock speed or even 800 speed and Aslphal 6 HD runs smooth as silk, while doing other stuff in the phone.

so Speed of the CPU don't mean anything when the software is not optimized

and for those that do not know Exynos = Hummingbird http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-renames-orion-mobile-processors-exynos/
[Galaxy S II General] movieaddict:
Were glad ur part of team hercules Allgamer!
[Galaxy S II General] hotadef:
im wating on this phone if i dont jumpshipt to sprint and get an epic 2. not switching for any reason like bad tmobile coverage or phone. but i may switch because 79.99 minuse my job 23% discount may just put me over the top. im not sure and ill call tmobile to see if they can match before i go after being with them for like 8+ years
[Galaxy S II General] Jasonhunterx:
But i was wondering since you guys have been defending Qualcomm would you prefer Exynos if so Y?
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
personally i never cared about the CPU, all i cared was the screen

any phone that i get must have SAMOLED+ as the very least

if HTC Sensation came with SAMOLED+ i'd have purchased it already
[Galaxy S II General] Jasonhunterx:
True that after experiencing this phones screen its a little hard to go back to lcds they all look washed out an have a white tint to me
[Galaxy S II General] iwasblown:
I already hate this phone because the speaker phone is by the mic
[Galaxy S II General] :
I've been wondering a couple of the sites don't say super amoled plus. Just standard super amoled doesn't cut it. Compared to Droid incredible 2 super lcd. Hopefully it's super amoled plus.
[Galaxy S II General] movieaddict:
according to this article it does!

http://androidspin.com/2011/09/26/t-mobile-drops-official-galaxy-s-ii-info-sheet/

"We already knew about the 4.52″ Super AMOLED Plus display at a resolution of 480 X 800. Size wise you are looking at 5.1″ X 2.7″ X .37″ and only weighing in at 4.77 ounces. The device has 16GB of internal storage and support for a 32GB micro SD card."
[Galaxy S II General] :
Woot thank god. Can't wait to get it.
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
oh it's definitely SAMOLED+ there's no mistake about that

even the Generation 1 of Galaxy phones already had SAMOLED+

how can a Gen 2 will not have it?

i wouldn't buy them without SAMOLED+ or SAMOLED+ HD

LOL :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] neock:
has any one ever noticed that whether the phone will enter charging mode once the external power sources from charger plugs into the MHL adapter?

my device seems has some problem with mhl adapter, once the usb port plugin the adapter, the phone doesn't enter charging mode, and with no signal via hdmi to tv or monitor..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] k1sr:
Have you got a custom ROM - for example, MHL does not work with Cyanogenmod.

And yes, it should enter charging mode... Maybe you have a dud MHL adapter...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] neock:
thanks, using custom roms base on samsung's rom, not cm.

looks like the adapter was damaged, even can't enter charging mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optimus V Prime:
My LG Optimus Prime V is rooted using SuperOneClick. I installed Clockworkmod ROM manager to install CM7, however every time I get to the recovery console (looks like DOS) I can't choose anything, the touch screen does not register. Is this normal for the Optiimus V? Do I need a different ROM manager? Should I uninstall and reinstall it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ROOT GUIDE.

Use volume to select option, power to choose.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optimus V Prime:
@phateless thanks a bunch, I scoured the net looking for an answer before posting, somehow I missed the help files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
No worries, we were all noobs once. Sorry for shouting at you.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
my h-boot version was 18 then when i flashed android revolution rom it went to a 17. (not exact numbers but thats not really the point) I was just wondering what the H-boot version really has to do with my device itself. Or would i need to be able to switch it back to original state at some point
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Hboot is on a separate partition than rom. When you go from stock to rooted your hboot might change, depending on the root method.

Flashing a rom won't change it. Reverting to stock with an ruu will.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
You're good to go, that's how's it suppose to be. Make sure you have supercid, and also if you have time search in devolpement section for Bin4ry and flash Eng Hboot to be safe.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Thanks for4 the replies guys i havent messed with CID yet or Eng. currently running ARHD 3.6.0 i havent had any troubles rooting or flashing and speeds seem to be doing well.. i am still working on maximizing my battery life. its good i get about 15 hours when im not on wifi.

but how will Eng and CID help out?
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Those are just gonna help you in the long run without bricking your phone if you do alot of flashing. Nothing to do with battery. Lol
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Engineering hboot allows you to flash recovery and radio at a more basic level and can help you recover from a ****ed up state in some cases. Good idea to have.

Super CID just allows you to flash an ruu from another carrier and is completely unnecessary if you're flashing custom roms.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Hmm I'll look into it some more got any referrals for my research?

And ya I was just making a comment on my battery life I didn't think any of this would have an effect on battery life. Just pointing out successes. Fortunately haven't faced too difficult a situation with the sensation.

Now the galaxy s 2 on group via mini kies, bow that was a pain. Again thanks
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
I mean how much more basic could it get then flashing under CWM? If there's a simpler way I'm all for it lol.

But seriously ill look into it some more I just figured dont fix what ain't broken you know?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Flashing the radio/recovery isn't done via CWM - it's done using fastboot commands
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
I was speaking of simplicity in general I'm just curiouse to what this more basic level would be. I did just fine with the flashing of o_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 without adb
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
It provides you some extra options if something goes wrong.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Ok cool thanks boss.

Is there anything to look for in a radio or zip before flashing that would tip me off to potential brickage or do you have to kinda just experience it?
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Make SURE it's the right radio for your device and check md5sum. Do a google search, md5sum is easy.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Gotcha thanks. Also I'm sure there is a difference between eng s-off and the s-off using revolutionary.io since your here and we talkin about it, you have a definition for me in basic terms? Perhaps a link to someplace? I been looking in google but they start talking about ship s-off and radio s-off, I'm not sure what s-off I've done. I just knew it was necessary before perm rooting.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Revolutionary does radio s-off which means the phone itself has security turned off and whatever hboot you have will display that. Eng s-off means the hboot is allowing the security bypass. Ship s-off just means it came that way from factory.

My understanding is somewhat rudimentary so I would appreciate one of the elders stepping in to clarify if I've missed anything.

We need s-off to give hboot permission to flash a custom recovery. Then we use the custom recovery because it permits us to make changes to the firmware, like the update that gave us root access.

The hierarchy goes radio, hboot, recovery, rom. Each is on a separate partition.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
Wow ok that was very helpful. Looks like this is turning into quite a decent thread. I appreciate you for your knowledge spread.

I would like to see (as you put it) one of the elders step in here with their feedback as well.

I'm gonna go ahead and move to the next step (eng) and see where that will take me in my adventures of the sensation.

I am also interested to hear from other members about their achievements with their devices as far as CPU speeds and of the many tricks that can performed by the sensation. I find myself searching for that info all day.
[General Questions and Answers] Pr.TOSHIBA:
Hi,

I am, in the near future, going to get either a G2 or HD2. I cant decide which one though. I had the G2 at the beginning of the year and it was awesome! But it got stolen after 2 months :mad: I know that the G2 has a better GPU and processor and all that jazz. Is the huge screen of the HD2 that much of an advantage. I know some people with HD2s and HD7s and the big screen looks really awesome, but they say it has it's drawbacks. I would definitely be putting android on the HD2. Also, I loved the G2's keyboard. I'm not asking about which has the better specs and stuff like that, because thats easy to find out, I'm asking people who have used both phones which one makes them say, "Damn, this is awesome!" more.

Basically does the 4.3in screen beat all of the G2's awesomeness?
[General Questions and Answers] Phateless:
I have a glacier, which has the same size screen as the g2. I thought I wanted the big-ass screen on the sensation but now realize that I like being able to hold the phone with one hand and pull down the notification bar.

I'd go for g2, HUGE dev support!
[General Questions and Answers] hoangminh:
HD2 verry good.
[General Questions and Answers] saurabh88:
hd2 all the way. I am happy user using it 1 years with almost android on it
[General Questions and Answers] Pr.TOSHIBA:
Battery

What about the battery? I remember G2 had a pretty decent battery. I've heard that the HD2's screen pretty much kills the battery life. Another thing is that I wont be using the data functions for internet, just wifi. I know that a big plus of the G2 is 4G data, but that doesn't matter to me because I'm too cheap to get a data plan.
[General Questions and Answers] Pr.TOSHIBA:
So i've pretty much decided to get another G2, unless someone here can really give the HD2 props. Speak now or forever hold your peace.
[General Questions and Answers] Phateless:
G2.

im gonna wait on the changelog to see

are you saying on 9-28 it has glass icons

been kinda busy with home stuff so havent got to it yet

if ya want you could do download the eu version

and pull the 2 files from it dod a nandroid backup

then push the 2 files to the correct folders and see if it works

systemui.apk goues into system/app

and the frameworkres.apk

goes into system/framework

then reboot into recovery and wipe cache then wipe dalvik cache
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bx10r:
Im sorry just read my post and it sounds like i said the 9-28 has glass icons. It doesnt tho. I was referring to the glass icons made by agro1980 for energz on another room. What you recommend Sounds difficult dificult. Ill wait to see if u make it. If not i'll live.
