[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KreepyKen:
They took too long to get it out. The Nexus Prime is just around the corner and there are already rumblings about a quad-core SGS III for the first half of next year. I'm going to wait and see what the Prime is all about and if there are any problems with it. If not, I may jump on the Prime. If the GPS sucks or something else is wrong with it, I'll wait for the SGS III.

Plus, it looks like the SGS2 won't have LTE. If I'm going to be locked into a phone for 18 to 24 months, I'll want LTE capability for when it starts rolling out.

I guarantee if I buy an HSPA phone, they'll put an LTE tower in my back yard a week later. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:
[raises hand]

I'll be getting it.

Dual core HSPA+ is fine with me, and the by the time a quad-core with LTE is available through AT&T I will be able to get the discount again. No point in waiting since AT&T is the only carrier that reaches my house.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nybmx:
This was my thinking for a little while but a few things swayed me back. The prime is rumored to have a 4.65" or bigger display. This is just way to big for me. The only way I could see this feeling nice is if the screen took up more space on the front, meaning closer to the edges. For example if it was the entire phone was the same size as the infuse it might not be too bad. As for LTE that doesn't matter to me because by the time they have a decent and functional network this phone will be long gone. Also rumors suggest that once you get an LTE phone you automatically get switched to a 2gb plan. No more unlimited :(.

Another thing to consider is that we don't know when this phone will launch on at&t. Verizon could easily have an exclusivity period and we could be left waiting and drooling for months.

But the real icing on the cake for me is I'm using a family members upgrade for this. My line is due for an upgrade in May so we'll see what happens then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hurricane Andrew:
I'm torn. I love my Captivate, it's rooted and running great, except for a few GPS quirks. As awesome as the GSII looks, I may hold off for a little bit anyway to get some feedback, especially with respect to GPS, rooting, and battery life. Plus, I'll need a good case like my Body Glove TPU Case...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Yeah I love my Captivate too. Its been super smooth on GB 2.3.5! Much more than I ever imagined when I first got it. I'm hoping the SGS II will be the same way. With little time there will be safe rooting methods and some really stable Roms :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] krips2003:
I'm getting one. The way my plan is setup I can upgrade every year (my wife gets the old phone) . So no issue here. Also, there's always a new and best just around the corner as soon as something awesome is available in the market.

Not me cappy works just fine, no need to replace it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
Go cruise the SGSII section to answer your questions. Apparently they are getting pretty good battery life out of them. Haven't seen a single bad GPS thread, and there are several ROMS available. Now that the US is starting to get these, i'd expect the developement to get even heavier. I guess that answers most of your questions.

You gotta remember that this phone has been out for several months already and is the number one selling phone in Europe and Asia. It's just now hitting here.

Make sure you are lucid Monday morning, otherwise you might come home with an Infuse...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
Gettin one for sure. Been waiting forever. I cant wait around for quadcore or lte. Single core has been fast enough. With 8mp camera, 1080p record, super amoled +, and dual core, how could it get better. Maybe the specs of the next best phones can say its better but how could you tell. I think i can live with SGS2 specs for two years
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
Just sold my captivate on Ebay for 200 which will go directly to my sgs2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sifulee:
<----- Is getting one :D! LOVE my captivate but it's time to pass her down to my daughter who is just as excited about getting my captivate!

I must say I completely get why some are staying with the captivate. It's a wonderful phone after putting one of the many many excellent roms on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] krips2003:
That's quite true. Captivate will always be like the 'first car', where most of us are emotionally attached.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
Ever since I flashed GB I have not been able to get signal in my work (3 bars on stock froyo).

I used the stock modem in Valhalla.

Then I tried KF2....

Each time I go to mobile networks, it wont even recognize T-Mobile, only shows AT&T.

I went outside at work, searched again, and was able to register fine. I do not think it is an IMEI or hardware issue because of this.

I searched, but did not find much.... is this odd or common?

Anyone have suggestions for this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
I've had the AT&T thing happen before with some GB modems, but only if I am in an area with really really week signal (like inside my condo). I flashed the KD1 modem, and it does work a bit better.

With KD1, I can get 1, sometimes 2 bars if I put the phone in a certain spot on my dresser, and it won't jump to AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
Nice, will try that one now. Coincidence that I had t-mo swap my sim card yesterday. I am on the phone with them now to see what they can do, if anything.

I'll give it a whirl soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s15274n:
Well, called T-Mo... they tried some things... no luck. Flashed a few modems... no luck.

Now, it is working. Maybe just an outage here.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pbzevo:
if i flash a milestone rom and a droid it can be used on ATT right?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Nope. If you are using a Droid then you need to flash a Droid ROM. They are NOT compatible because of many different software differences.

If you can't flash the baseband for ATT, you can try and enter the APN settings manually.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morpheus.dreaming:
I have updated my Samsung Focus (on Rogers / Fido) to Mango and followed the instructions for setting a custom ringtone:

1. Under 1Mb

2. Under 29 seconds

3. No DRM

4. Set genre to "Ringtone"

I transferred the ringtone to my Zune collection then sync'd with my phone, but it is not displayed under the ringtone selection screen. Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanders04:
Did it actually sync? Can you find the file in the desktop zune?

I had the same problem with one ringtone that I made and I couldn't figure it out. I ended up using a different service (cutMP3) and it worked.

Don't know why.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroserge:
I had some weird problems creating ringtones last night too.

I chopped up "I Am The Doctor!" from Doctor Who and named my two files "I Am The Doctor!" and "I Am The Doctor! 2". I went and changed the id tags correctly, but the 2 would never show up. That ended up being fixed by taking out the ! in the second filename AND song title in the tag.

Then I was making some for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. I named all the files based on game such as "L4D The Monsters Within.mp3" and "L4D2 The Monsters Within.mp3" to be able to tell them apart. None of my L4D ringtones showed up in Zune. I fixed this by editing the L4D files tag song title taking out the space between L4D and the title (So it would be "L4DThe Monsters Within"). This seemed to work, but is bizarre.

Edit: I used Audacity to chop up the songs. I would blame it, but one of the L4D files was only 9 seconds in the first place. Zune just must be really picky.

My first thread here. Any Way I apologize if I missed something in my searching around bout I have Energy Rom on my TP2 and I was wondering if there was a way to configure port forwarding. at least for port 443 to my laptop. I run an exchange server on my laptop and would like to be able to get the sync working even when I am not at home. plus allow my friends to be able to access services from my laptop when I am away from home. As a side note does anyone know hoe to get Exchange server to sync or backup all of the txt messages on my phone not just the recent ones? If you do it would be a great help! I am in the process of working with Android on my phone and switch back and forth and that's why I am using Exchange to sync data between them. I hate having half the conversation in one OS! I am willing to experiment I am backing up with PIM Backup but want to be able to view my entire archive if I need to with without having thousands of messages on my phone. Slows it down just a little

:-)

P.S. I am on Boost's network which is run by Sprint. Wasn't sure if that mattered.

P.P.S. Dear Mods I just noticed I accidently posted in the wrong section. Please forgive a noob poster. I looked for a way to move it but did not see one. If you would be so kind to either move it or please let me know how I can.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
Just placed pre-order for the Amazon tablet. Don't know if it will replace my galaxy tab but for $200 the Amazon tablet looks like a good deal. Also I like the 7 inch better than the 10. I think this will force all others to seriously think about their tablet pricing.

What are your thoughts?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0051VVOB2/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1317224821&sr=8-1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DT3CH:
HPs firesale was evidence that pricing can be king outside of the iOS ecosystem, Im personally not interested in one, but I do like the pricing, it could put pressure on other OEMs to drop their prices, look at RIM there are starting to move more playbooks since they are starting to price cut

This also goes to show you how big of a mark up these things have
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] atoy74:
I just preordered mine as well. I'm crossing my fingers that this thing has bluetooth. Otherwise no external keyboard.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ashyford:
No bluetooth. Complete specs at the Amazon Landing Page.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051VVOB2/ref=tsm_1_bl_aw?tag=vglnk-c1655-20

But it does have USB 2.0, so you could plug in a Bluetooth adapter. Potential issue: battery life issues from adapter.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
Depending on the chipset used, it might have latent bluetooth, just like the Nook Color.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] myersw:
Doesn't look like it has a SD slot either. With just 8Gb storage a few movies etc will fill that up.

--bill
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Snow_fox:
There are two considerations I take in above all else these days when I consider a purchase, especially for phone/smaller computing devices.

1. Price to performance (lets be real, tablets are *finally* getting out of over priced stage.)

2. What the support here at XDA is going to be like.

I can handle getting a "mid ranged" device if the price is right.

IF there are enough tweaks, roms, and third party support.

A "Cheap" and "Midranged" tablet can go toe to toe with the best of them.

*if* I consider a tablet.. the lenovo A1 and Amazon Kindle Fire are going to be on the top of the list, because I am suspecting I'll see strong support on both.

Then again, being able to "reverse" whatever I do is also important.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
I definitely think there will be lot of dev support for kindle fire given the price point.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ashyford:
Ah! I see. Good point.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] burhanistan:
The Nook has "latent Bluetooth" but no antenna so it's not very useful.

The new Kindle looks nice, but no 3G/4G (yet). If they do offer it with mobile data it will probably be locked to one carrier. That and being stuck with Amazon's app store makes it a non-starter for me. I'll stick with my old Galaxy 7" for non-home use for now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
Not quite true.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gokpog:
I'm not impressed what amazon did. Combine their services with good hardware and "real" Android Honeycomb/ice cream sandwich and they might have a winner.

But with this, medium hardware (RAM, int storage, display resolution), missing components, a bit heavy, depends on cyanogen mod to get a real taste of Android, I'm not sure. I see little more than a new Nook color.

With the support of the amazon services like music, video and appstore (since there is no market at least at the beginning) it might be interesting for some people. But for me the 7.7 seems like a much better choice if you look for something smaller than 10.1 or 8.9, even if it costs twice as much.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nikzDHD:
Price is the key though, look what the recent HP firesale did, this will be a mass product aimed at those wanting their first fray into tablets, other manufacturers will need to take note if they want their product to sell. At the way the current global financial state is in Amazon have got a winner here.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kettlecorn:
Damn for $199, I'd love to buy it.

Does anyone know if true Android can be hacked or developed for the Kindle fire? It's android based but it doesn't run honeycomb or anything.

I know the Blackberry playbook you cant but that's cause it's RIM software and their security stuff.

It'd be cool if there was a lot of support for it and you can flash all different kinds of ROMs and stuff.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kirdroid:
I think Amazon tablet will be locked to start with since it is running Amazon's customized Android. We will only know for sure when this is released.

But I think as usual developers will eventually crack it open.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gokpog:
What do HP touchpad firesale and every china tablet in common (other that the 99$ price tag)? You buy the thing, get frustrated that it doesn't do what you expected and you get a "real" tablet. We have a saying here, if you buy cheap you end up paying twice.

I'm not arguing that it won't sell,it will probably sell pretty good. but I'm saying it's not what it could've been. And I don't think 199$ is particularly cheap for that tablet. It's a good price but not really cheap considering what you give up.

And don't forget everyone who has no access to the amazon services like video and cloud music, which is half of europe. They would get even less out of it but I don't think that it'll be available here.

I think it takes more than a good price to make a winner.

But I don't think amazon really wants to play the tablet game. They want to give you an easier way to subscribe to and consume their content and that's what they can archive with the kindle fire.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jay Evans:
I'll wait for the "Fire" app to show up. You know Amazon is going offer one before long.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] burhanistan:
I would think it would be more something like "Amazon Portal" that would manage all your Kindle, MP3, Amazon App store, etc on a non-Kindle device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
I'm sure it can be cracked in one way or another. OMAP4 is something a lot of devs have experience with, and I doubt they're deviating much from the components we keep seeing on other platforms.

I'd like to believe that this will be as easy to root as the Nook Color, but given that Amazon has been playing cat-and-mouse with hackers and the older Kindles, I doubt it. Amazon didn't preen their own app store for the last year for nothing, and that's only one content channel they want to own. An open platform means most people will probably install the default Google Market and avoid Amazon's store altogether. The OMAP has some security features in the same vein as the Tegra2, and I'd be surprised if it's not as locked down as the Atrix was before the unlockable bootloader.

That being said, there's a nice tool out there for booting a kernel/ramdisk (read:recovery) OMAP4 over USB, so should Amazon decide to have a change of heart it will be a quick test to tell if the boot process is as easy to hijack as the Nook.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
Why not just buy a Galaxy Tab 7" WiFi? Or a used 3g/carrier-branded version on Craigslist. Both can be had for about the same prices as the K-Fire, and they're a whole lot more functional.

Sure, it's single core, but it's single core Hummingbird/SGX540, which is still pretty competitive with the chipset in the PlayKindleBookFire, especially in relation to graphics.

It's also lighter, has a LOT more functionality (GPS, Bluetooth, light sensor, microphone, etc.). And, it's not locked down to the Amazon infrastructure, and has a pretty good XDA community already.

You can still use the Kindle app, but you can also read ePubs, use Google Music, Netflix, etc.
