[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I think the significant thing about wolfson products in the audio chain is the driver support. thought Samsung screwed that up. without supercurio it'd suck. also the Samsung eaebuds lack detail. all cheap earbuds lack treble but the Samsung ones seem to just lack. they don't sound offensive but they don't stand out in anyway.

yamaha is obviously a reputable brand but the sgs2 had some poping issues. I don't think it was ambient noise or lack of detail but the volume and even equalization controls would make popping sounds when manipulated. a lot of the negative stuff come strait from supercurio and not independent reviews. I hear it in the infuse as well and think it may be poor curcuit design and not related to the chip. the captivate did not have any such issue but many of the voodoo kernels were not well implimented causing some problems. I always ended up flashing back to the same couple kernels after the newest and best failed me in one area or another.

the gs phones need good earbuds and equalization but the signal integrity is there. the infuse I'm not so sure about but I haven't really put it through the scrutiny I did with the captivate. the 2.3.x kernels might be better I just haven't used my earbuds In a long time.

I really wouldn't worry about the aleged gs2 audio issues. it might be annoying and seem unprofessional but I don't think it is anything you hear during playback as long as you don't go crazy adjusting the eq as the song is playing.

they both have to beat the iphail4. apple audio is over rated. the older ipod products had better audio hardware says my music obsessed Samsung cdma senior systems engineer aqaintence who actually does appreciate and own many apple products so I know he's not just pushing his own product when he says that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
The Nexus series are Google's development phones - by definition they get the best development support there is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vikramdhani:
Depending how much will be the upgrade price if it is more than $200 then it will not be worth it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vagelis:
... but from what we know so far, the device will first appear on Verizon before (if ever) anywhere else.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
whaaaaa...?

doubtful.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vagelis:
here:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Veri...October-or-November-launch-speculated_id22129

"...According to Kyle, the first Ice Cream Sandwich flavored phone will debut on Verizon, although there was no word about the rumored exclusivity period that Big Red had been expected to receive for the device. The launch is supposed to take place in late October or early November. And Kyle was able to confirm some of the specs for the handset including the dual-core TI OMAP chip under the hood (expected to be the OMAP 4460) and the support for NFC, HDMI and MHL on the model. There will be two cameras on board, one on back and one on front coming in at 8MP and 2MP respectively. Android 4.0 was not yet ready, so the demo ran Android 2.3.4."
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
oh that device. sorry. I thought we were still talking about the gs2.

well the other nexus phones were gsm probably so they could be released internationally buy I guess Verizon has been making more global phones and it would likely have lte so Verizon is a likely candidate for the first to get it. sorry I mis understood
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
im hoping for a christmas release for AT&T.....fingers crossed.

or else i have no idea which phone i will be getting, but i will be upgrading with the next 2 or 3 months.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
When's the GS2 coming out? I have 60 more days for an exchange...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nbochoa:
Would you compare this as equal, better or worse to the t-mobile sensation 4g
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
I never played with the sensation but as far as hardware specs the sensation is a lot better than the infuse. sensation also has better opengl performance than the sgs2 and more screen res. that's not to say its better or more satisfying.

the sensation screen is better resolution but doesn't have the contrast of the Samsung products. the Samsung phones are way thinner. and the battery life tends to be good on Samsung but not iphone good (atleast not in stock form) HTC phones don't tend to be as good as Samsung In this area.

not much rivals the sgs2 in browsing though I'm sure the sensation is quite good.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nbochoa:
Yeah my girlfriend has a nexus s 3g unlocked for t mobile, I always brag about my 4g, screen size and 1080 p display. Then she puts her phone next to mine and her screen makes mine look like its years behind it. Lol htc excels in all the right areas except for the LCD screen. Image my resolution, combined with Samsungs super AMOLED screen...

come on htc! step up the screen game...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bandit_Kaine:
SGS II comes out October 2nd - October 3rd for AT&T.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Not that my word means much... But my samsung source confirmed (over a month ago) verizon gets first dibs. that doesnt mean the will take it tho.....att supposedly had first dibs on the sg2 but passed/was outbid by sprint
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
The Sensation sucks (compared to the GS II) at browsing. Didn't feel any smoother scrolling through web pages than my old Inspire. The Galaxy S II has such a smooth browser because it's using GPU acceleration. The Sensation is not.

edit: Oh great, I see there is a Sensation owner in here. I've probably just offended someone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nbochoa:
Lol i'm not offended, were all Android users in here. I know the sensation is lacking in alot of areas, but its an all around good phone. if Samsung has a phone that can excel in every way better than the sensation I will be going to Samsung then. But I haven't seen the phone that would do that yet, at least not with Tmobile. October might bring that phone tho.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
I may go for the sgs2, however only if i can make a trade. I just dont think the sgs2 is impressive enough to use an upgrade on coming from the Infuse.

I actaully joined the android club by trading my iphone 4 on craigslist for an inspire, which I a few days later traded on craigslist for my infuse. (**hint hint** check your local craigslist sombody may have ditched there infuse for a sgs2 and be disapointed in the smaller screen and want to trade back) My point here is that while in testing the infuse may have "felt smoother" than the gsgs2, however the sgs2 is a baby next to the infuse and has room to grow dev wise. There will always be newer/better phone coming out and I would say if upgrading from an older att phone and your choice was between sgs2 and infuse, go with the sgs2. However if you already have an infuse the sgs2 really isnt much of an upgrade and I wouldn't use an upgrade/pay full retail for the minor differences.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
I may end up with one, I definitely wouldn't have but my brother wants an Infuse so I have the option of getting the S2 for $100. tempted but I will miss the 4.5" screen so I dunno.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
I'm gonna go play with one when they come out. If I fall in love, I'm gonna convince someone in my family they want my Infuse and use their upgrade to get me an s2
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
i just looking at my infuse 4.5 screen now. even at 4.5 inches, it' not big enough! haha

i just cant go back to phone with screen less than 4.5 !
[Samsung Infuse 4G] geff603:
A friend of mine works at at&t and is rocking a gs2 on his company line. I just played with it a little. Its not much faster, handles flash a little better but idk probably stay with my infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
I just pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy Note :). Expected in November. I think that it will be a worthy upgrade from the Infuse. Skipping the SG II (I don't consider it much of an "upgrade").
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I'd rather go back to my RAZR than use a Note.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] geff603:
I read there is a gs2 lte hd with a 4.65 display coming out soon. Also an lte with a 4.5 display.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
I really hope none of our dev's leave, I can't afford to get another phone. :(

I know the GS2 is what everyone wants, but from everything I've read, there just doesn't seem to be much of a performance boost between the GS2 and the Infuse.

I don't know.... if our dev's don't leave, then I'm fine. But if they do..... I'm going to have to SOMEHOW get the money for a GS2, or wait for the Holiday.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
HAHAHA each to his own I guess. I personally cannot wait for the bigger screen, higher resolution, faster processor, larger battery and stylus etc etc etc :).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vagelis:
I did that about a month ago as well... clove.co.uk?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] leedashone:
I never try Galaxy S2 before, But I just can't go back to small screen.

My plan is sell my infuse 4G while Galaxy Note launch. it's 5.3 inch!

Size is always important for me!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Why not just get a Galaxy Tab and use that as a phone. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
Yep! got it coming on clove. looks to be lots of people interested i. It. should be very popular.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
Almost everyone who has used both says the GS2 is a bit snappier, especially when browsing with flash--which produces nontrivial lag on the Infuse.

Really though, losing our devs is my biggest problem too. My costco 90-day window ends on Tuesday I think, so I'll be exchanging for a GSII tomorrow assuming they have it in.

Can't help but comment on the Note while I'm here. The Infuse already feels a bit large against my face; talking on the Note would just be like having a pad of paper on my cheek. Gonna have to agree with Mikey on this, might as well just get a freaking Galaxy Tab. :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
I can't say for sure this will work because I'm not familiar with costco's 90 day policy, however it works with the 30 day window allotted at company at&t stores:

never"exchange", but rather return your phone, wait for upgrade to reverse (72 hrs I believe) than upgrade again! You will get another 30 day (at at&t and I assume 90 at costco) trial period.you never know what may come out in next 30/90 days...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bluetoothless:
You can return phone to Costco for a refund upto 90 days, but after the first 30 you are still obligated to contract.

Wireless Advocates doesn't have the authority/ability to back you out of contract after 30. Might as well upgrade/exchange for another phone in that 30-90 day window. No restocking fee at Costco.

an INFUSION of REALITY
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
but can i put the galaxy tab in my pocket?

i'm sure i able to put NOTE in my pocket, but i'm not getting NOTE, the freaking 178grams of fat turns me off. i just hate HEAVY phone, when they have a slim/lighter battery for it then i will get it!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddie Bombay:
hahaha

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Artimus009:
I am familiar with the policy...they will let you return it within the 30 days to back out of the upgrade/contract. If after the 30, you can still return it but can only purchase the same phone, can't use the 90 day return for another phone.

They are really curbing this hard. They tell members that just because a new phone just came out and they like the newer one better, its not treating the vendor/carrier with respect. I for one agree with this. This is the reason why we lost their awesome return policy. Now its 90 days on all electronics.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bluetoothless:
Not in Costco's inventory system for southeast yet.

an INFUSION of REALITY
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
dang that would be sweet if they accepted the product back/reversed contract as well after 30/before 90 days. Would be a nice little racket returning upgrade every 59 days and upgrading again next week lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
Yeah, I specifically mentioned this to one of the guys at the costco cell stand and he kind of looked uncomfortable and said "well, you can do it once," so I'm gonna take him up on it. I'm just glad the GSII is out before my 90 days are up. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
I work for a retail cell phone company and can get the sgsII for 50$. I'm seriously considering it, the only thing that's stopping me is the Droid Prime through Verizon.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:
WHats a droid prime?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
another reason att galaxy s2 is NOT worth the upgrade! no NFC!

i cant find nfc anywhere on att or samsung website!

hopefully tmobile galaxy s2 with huge 4.52 screen and dual core 1.5G supports att 3g bands! tmobile s2 DOES support NFC!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
The Att version does have NFC. And the T-Mo version does not have Att 3G bands. Stop spitting BS.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
is nfc a bad thing? haha

is that why it never mention on att or Samsung website?

ok, T-Mobile s2 might or might not supports att 3g but Telus and Rogers s2 does support att 3g!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] leedashone:
I have tried. and I just can't put the galaxy tab into my jeans pocket...

I think the 5.3 inch maybe the max possible size .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if I wanted a tablet I think id get the note, when or where will I ever walk around with something with a 10inch screen and no keyboard? something like the asus transformer would be cool as an alternative to a laptop but I think id rather just have a laptop. I wouldn't get the note as a phone. it is a bit too big to carry around full time. the note is small enouhg to carry without a shoulder bag which is the biggest reason id be interested in it as a tablet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
the top two threads in general are "defend my aging phone" threads.

I'm sure the OP really didn't notice a difference, which is cool. I love my phone, but better phones coming out is normal. It's not worth the upgrade to me yet as my ONLY annoyance with my infuse is sluggish browsing with flash. I'll probably keep this thing for another year and be really happy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] samomamo:
Well the GS2 is out. Did anyone get it? What you guys really think? Is it a huge difference?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Most AT&T stores don't open until 11AM or noon on Sundays.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 1koolcat:
The manual for the Galaxy S II is available on samsung's website and it says that NFC is currently not available, but will be in a future update.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Yeah, the hardware is there. They just didn't have their NFC app ready for release yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the at sgs2 looks thinner than the infuse, i thought only the non nfc sgs2 was thinner oversees. oh well.. i like that the plastic is not lame metaic grey. i mean i like grey but the metalic part makes the infuse seem cheap and it shows scratches.

the sgs 2 is about the perfect size and is sleek but im not so taken by it that im gonna buy it. ill give my infuse a years use before i get something new. what ever i get will have qhd res or better, and if it's not amoled will have high contrast like some of the sony phones out there.

it doesn't feel faster, actually the thrill seems smoother in the home screen and launcher, but the thrills stock apps like the camera and browser load a little slow. but the web browsing is a world of difference over the infuse for both the thrill and the gs2.

overall the infuse has better accessory support and the gs2 doesnt ship with the mhl adapter from att! these are reasons not to trade up for me considering that i spent the money on both docks for the infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
5.3 should fit just fine in any pocket. i had a dell streak prior to the infuse and the streak was about the same size as the note. the 5.3 screen is higher resolution and should be a massive improvement over the infuse or sg2. MASSIVE. in addition, a 5.3 device is easier for people that have larger hands to type on (like me :-)) which is also a MASSIVE improvement. Overall, why not wait a month or so to see how it stacks up? the differences between the infuse and sg2 seem slight while the difference in the note should be much bigger. each to his own i guess but either way enjoy your device!! btw.. 7 plus inches IS too big for a pocket. and for all the people complaining that 5.3 is too big to hold against your head.... Measure an actual land line handset..... I think you will be suprised. they are bigger and you probable hold them frequently.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] auswims:
Picked up a GS2 yesterday - was still within 30 days on one of my Infuse units. Now I have both!!

GS2 is rooted stock - runs very smooth quick - but so does my Infuse (running GTG FY 1.6). they both are great pieces of hardware and I will keep both as I have a line for each unit. As far as which one is better.......the GS2 is 'speedier', but only noticeable because I am looking for it at this point. Boots quicker - flash browsing is faster. Normal day to day - so far not a huge difference.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
now go back and play infuse for awhile, what a huge 4.5 screen different!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Yeah, it's like a whole fifth of an inch difference. Truly massive. I think you should say it a few more times because some people might have missed the first 30 times you called the GS2 screen small.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
lol^^ /10char
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doctahjeph:
I love my Infuse, and it is very satisfactory for my everyday use. My only concern is how many devs will we lose to the SGS2?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
why? can't take the heat that infuse got bigger screen? to you might be just fifth of an inch bigger, to me it's a huge screen different! why do you think att sell gs2 at 199.99$ instead of 200$? even 1 cent makes a huge difference between 199.99$ and 200$!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
now you are being rediculous. the infuse is now $99

anyway the infuse had the advantage of having the mhl adaptor in the box and good accessory support on launch day which is more than could be said about the galaxy s and atleast in my local store. the sgs2 as a phone and computing device though the sgs2 has significant advantages over the infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
If anything the GS2 will be fun to play with for a couple months till the Prime Comes out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
I can't take the heat? Lol I own both devices and I have no desire to use the Infuse ever again, even with its 4.5 inch screen that is apparently 4 times larger than 4.3 inch screens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah i might pass up the gs2 for the prime as well.

i mean i like the multi-media and codec support stuff in samsung roms but that can be gotten in the market now as well as nice texting and contacts apps. i will say the next thing i get will be bought outright and im not getting rid of the infuse. i have wanted 2 phones for a while and hated that i needed to get rid of my captivate to afford the infuse. i dont plan on walking out on this forum even if the experienced guys leave. the infuse will be my backup and otherwise used like an ipod.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Do we even know if/when there will be a Prime with AT&T frequencies? What if it only supports Verizon frequencies at first, or maybe Verizon and T-Mobile. I don't like not knowing. For all we know it could be 4-6 months before there is a new Nexus that supports AT&T's network. I ain't waiting. If/when it comes out, I will compare it to the GS2 and possibly sell the GS2 to pick it up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i honestly dont know anything. but i'm keeping the infuse for a while with or without a new phone.

GTG dont listen to people over defending the phone to the point they want to talk people out of the gs2. i have no need to upgrade but it looks enticing but you did more than enough for the infuse, i think it's time for you to move on to where ther are more people your speed. atleast with a dual core phone there will be more developers at your level.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
I'm really gonna miss you gtg :/ You were and still are one of our best devs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wes78:
+1

My next phone will be an LTE Samsung Monster.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dxtra:
Super happy with my SGSII, it's so much snappier no matter what you throw at it. Also there's a few new settings and feature not included on the infuse. The screen size its not that bad at all I thought would be issue but its not 4.3 its not that bad. I highly recommend upgrading if you can. BTW Google video chat works great finally no more ffc zoom issues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
My thoughts exactly. We have no idea when we could see a compatible version. It just surprises me that people would still try to hold out for a device that could be months (or even up to a year) away, when they could have a great (and viable for a good while) device right now. I had to get away from that mentality. I operate based on what's out now or confirmed for the very near future. If people get caught up in "I really like this, but look what's coming", they'll drive themselves crazy because there'll always be something better "right around the corner" (actually much further out in most cases).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
Honestly, I'm tempted to wait for the phones with Tegra 3, that'll be a worthwhile upgrade. I can't justify $550 ($250 if I sell the infuse) for a second core, double RAM, and NFC.

Sent from my phone. :3
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
and I don't own both? wait, I don't own both. I sold my gs2 (uk version) 1 week after I got it.

to me bigger screen is more important. I just use my phone for emails, internet, play video, gps and make calls, do I really need a dual core for it?

You can't set the file system in recovery. The file system is a programmed part of the ROM you flash. If one ROM uses Ext3, that will be your file system. If you wipe and flash a ROM that uses Ext4, then you will be using Ext4.

Honeycomb is in alpha build... yes you can use it wifi only, that's how I use mine... many roms on the way including MIUI, which is in beta, there is a beta CM7 which I am running (awesome btw) its a good tab for reading and using one handed, not too heavy, not to light to feel like you'll break it. It should have an ota GB available if it has froyo when you unwrap it. Very happy with my tab :-)
