SGS II HD has been officially announced in KOREA. Just wait a little bit more :)

[Vibrant General] beowolf:
I will never buy another samsung phone after they abandoned the vibrant. They could have at least given us gingerbread. My next phone will be HTC.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
TMO - $70/mo x 24 mo = $1680 over 2 years

--- TMO SGS2 $230

--- total over 2 years = $1910

Sprint -$80/mox24 mo = $1920 over 2 years.

--- Sprint SGS2 $200

--- total over 2 years = $2120

ATT - $85/mo x 24 mo = $2040

--- ATT SGS2 $200

--- total over 2 years = $2240

That's the REAL price you pay. Getting pissy over $30 differences between the subsidized phone pricing either means that the person complaining simply can't do math.

Not even for $99.

No more crap from T-mobile. I have the vibrant and I forgot the last time T-mobile released an update. Gingerbread has been out for almost a year and I'm stuck @ 2.2.1

I'm willing to pay full price for the upcoming Nexus Prime. @ least I know that I get what I paid for (updates)
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
first off its ur fault for staying at 2.2.1, cm7 has been very stable for a while now so gingerbread has been on a vibrant for awhile... ur in xda to upgrade ur phone to different roms am i right??

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

according to this article it does have super amoled plus display

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."
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Yay a bigger vibrant, lol where is the prime?!

Sent from my T959
[Vibrant General] Krzysiek_CK:
Since I use GPS a lot and also own Vibrant, I don't know if I will put trust in Samsung again. If I have to make the decision today, I would pick HTC Sensation 4G.
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
if you got HTC get the Amaze instead, is just the upgraded version of Sensation
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
those versions does not come with AWS radios
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
+1

I feel the exact same way. They aren't catching me twice either.

movieaddict, we all know about the woes with Gingerbread and CM7. You're acting like they're flawless releases, they aren't. We'd be much better off had we gotten some sort of source to work with.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
Sorry to go off subject!

Well the only problem i have with cm7 and i mean the only prob is! i cant download Third blade game so one prob is not bad
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
wuat!? that doesn't make sense

I'm using CM7 RC1 stable and i have it installed via Market and running just fine on the Nexus S which is just another brother/cousin to the Galaxy S / Vibrant

what sort of error do you get if any?
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
im running cm7 on my vibrant and im not the only who has said this but for some reason people arent able to download this game due to innsufficent space on device and we all have plenty of room....Thats my only prob with cm7!

p.s cant wait for cm7 on hercules
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:
screw samsung and screw t-mobile. I will reluctantly keep my vibrant until july 15th 2012 when I leave their sorry asses. IF I ever buy another android it will be nexus only. The way google lets manufacturers and carriers stomp all over android is pathetic. Grow a pair and step in, google. Galaxy s2 hd? Already? **** that. And correct me if I'm wrong but #neveragain meant NEVER AGAIN. you better believe I'll be here trolling you all in 6 months when the s2 gets abandoned.
[Vibrant General] Koblek:
Same here. I'm not getting another Samsung phone on Tmo. ESPECIALLY when the Tmo variant of the GSII is so different from other variants. The greater the hardware variation, the less chance we are going to get updates in a timely manner.
[Vibrant General] Nabeel10:
So is this the Hercules or Galaxy S II?

Sent from my Vibrant on Ultimate 2.2.1 :D
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
That's exactly it! Sure, the Hercules looks great "now". Let's see how great it'll be in 6 months time when something new comes out and T-mobile abandons everyone - again.

Good luck to you guys.
[Vibrant General] jRi0T68:
It's funny how different everyone's experiences with the same phone can be. Some of us have hated the vibrant, others loved it.

I'm in the love it camp. For me, TMO's Galaxy S2 means:

Faster processor

Bigger, better screen

More ram

Faster data connection

FFC

Only downside is no voodoo sound. That's a big one for me.

Unless a phone that's equal or better in every category comes out on TMO, this is the best device for me, and I will use it for a year with no regrets or envy of other phones, just like my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:
you're damn right. i threw away my upgrade on a piece of garbage phone that was broken out of the box, and then abandoned.
[Vibrant General] Djapatos:
Samsung Galaxy S II

I be seen everyone calling it Hercules idk where they got that name from because even tmobile calls it SGS II
[Vibrant General] Drjjones426:
I personally love my vibrant BUT thats only because of the great developers here at XDA
[Vibrant General] طوني تبولة:
I'm so sorry movieaddict

I'm so sorry T-mobile. I'm also so sorry Samsung. I will never say that again.

1) When did u get the "stable" version of CM7?

2) did you get the GPS fully working? when you disable it, can you re-enable it again? or you have to reboot? If the latter, I wouldn't call that fully stable and functional.

3) If I'm going to rely on a third party developer, that doesn't make T-mobile phones any better. and According to your logic, almost all android phones are equal because they somehow get the latest version of android.

4) I love modified ROMs, and this is the main reason I've decided to stay with android but I'd like to get them early. not when the next release comes out.

5)I need to be able to read and write in Arabic. The support for Arabic language is limited for this phone since it is not an international phone. so I can not use the ROMs released in the Middle East unless some kindhearted developer decided to port those ROMs to run on some sick customized version of the international phone. However, if you have a phone that is released from Google, chances of getting support from ME developers are way higher.

so please:

Never give away your wise judgements when you're not asked, or at lease try to be fully aware of what you're talking about.

I rest my case, your honor.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
i actually had this all worked out in detail to come back to what u said but samsung haters and people will aways have the same probs with there phones so basically its a moot point. People like what they like

so i rest my case
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
we had the same share of issues with the international version of the i9000

every one hated it at first

but now every one loves it, and many rates it better than the SGS2, as the custom ROMs makes it runs better than SGS2, and yes that's including the GPS issue that everyone claimed to have, yet i had the phone for over a year, and i've never seen any of the reported GPS issues.
[Vibrant General] s1lenz:
I was excited until i heard the SIII is coming out first half of 2012. Now I'm gonna wait.
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
keep dreaming, SGS3 is bogus

The only real ones are Nexus 3, Notes, and the 3 new variants of SGS2 (Hercules, LTE, and LTE HD)
[Vibrant General] :
Galaxy 3 won't be till next year and the fact that people got these facts off some random guy off 4chan is funny as hell.
[Vibrant General] s1lenz:
Right... first half of 2012 is next year... and this whole 4chan thing was started last week. Samsung has been hinting at the first half of 2012 for months now.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Wait for the SIII and you'll end up saying "oh I'll just wait for the SIV because Samsung announced it will be released by fall."

:D
[Vibrant General] :
That's right samsung took forever to come here with the samsung Galaxy variants to the U.S. Also those who who wait for quadcores aren't really for more powerful phones they are for getting better battery life. Of course you'll have more power if you have more cores but by then android will have better power consumption. Batteries

technology isn't keeping up with mobile technology.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Damn the new exynos is coming out 32nm an 1.5ghz they say it is 30% more battery efficent an 50% graphics boost could this be what there gonna use in the nexus on the 4chan leak thing he did say it was a exynos a 1.5ghz
[Vibrant General] :
Well the nexus is a buy if it has an sd card slot. If it doesn't then no purchase for me. Keep in mind that if you aren't on verizon you will have to wait around 6 months later till the gsm version is out.
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
I love the complaints that people STILL give.

1) If someone needs a phone that supports another language, then why on earth would you buy a U.S. phone that doesn't support it, and then complain about it? I'm gonna go buy a Corvette and whine because it doesn't have 4WD and enough room for 2 100lbs dogs. :D

2) If someone wastes an upgrade because they bought a phone, didn't like it and chose to keep it, how is that T-Mobile's fault? I paid full price, discovered the GPS issues in the first 30 minutes and decided to keep it anyway.

I often forget that the median age on XDA is probably 17, but stay away from contracts like I do in the first place and you'll find that:

* Carriers treat you better when your balls aren't in an ETF Vise Grip

* You're more selective about what you buy (and take better care of it)

* You suddenly could care less what your carrier does or doesn't do because if they tick you off, JUST LEAVE!

I like my Vibrant. I stick with it because I know virtually everything about it. There are much better devices on the horizon and I'm not in a hurry to leave what I'm familiar with when what I own is perfectly fine.

Gingerbread on the Vibrant doesn't change much for several reasons:

1) Few people here want the stock ROM anyway

2) It'll take a while for that source to translate to solid ROMs. If official GB for the Vibrant dropped October 1 it would be November before we got our hands on the source code and December before we saw ROMs that were "spectacular"

3) Faulty GPS hardware is still faulty GPS hardware. Gingerbread doesn't fix it, and the hardware "fix" doesn't fully fix it either.

4) The phone is quickly approaching 18 months old. Most users will have moved on at that point. I know I will have if the next Nexus device is promising.

5) Google has already taken steps to ensure updates.

6) People act like EVERY other Android device gets updates IMMEDIATELY. Not true.

Nexus S: Released December 16th, 2010

Nexus 1: GB update February 22nd 2011+

Droid X: Jun 1st 2011

HTC EVO 4G: June 6th 2011

Even the "speedy" manufacturers take time (not to mention that Gingerbread on the DX is buggy). Samsung was "slow" by not starting to roll out Gingerbread to the Galaxy S line (which is over 20 different devices world wide, mind you) until early August. It shouldn't be surprising that it takes a long time for a manufacturer to update 2 dozen devices, but oh well. I'm just surprised that so many people have sore butts over a smart phone living in a world where most people don't keep their car for 2 years, much less their smart phone. :eek:;)

I love to see people who think they know it all while they don't have any idea of what they are talking about. What is funnier than that is when they put everyone who doesn't worship a certain product, in one category and consider them as whiners who have nothing to do but complaints.

I really don't have the time or the desire to teach anyone who says something stupid but this time I've decided to clarify some misconceptions they have:

1) Most international phones don't work with T-mobile 3G network since AWS is used in a very few networks worldwide.

2) I've bought my phone from a seller on craigslist

3) I stayed with T-mobile because it is cheaper, has better coverage, very rare drop calls.

4) people do not either worship or sue a certain company. An opinion varies in a scale from being the worst to the best. so If I thought my phone was the worst, I would've sold it immediately and didn't have to wait for your wise advice.

5) btw, Seven months from now, I will be double the median age you've mentioned; however, based on the way you give your assumptions, opinions, and solutions, I can clearly say you are not far from that age.

6) The whole point was that I preferred a Google branded phone to a phone released from T-mobile (both are Samsung.) I've never said that Vibrant was the worst phone ever or was a bad phone. I love the Galaxy S model and I think it was the best android phone but I think T-mobile didn't have to hurt the phone with its modifications and didn't have to repeat the same mistake with the 2nd generation.

So long.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Yo be fair, the international SGS got a Gingerbread build way back in April
[Vibrant General] accordex:
Not sure what the hype is...seems like the same damn phone, with a bigger screen, faster cpu...which EVERY other phone has/will have anyway...and with the way the vibrant went as far as Tmo/samsung =no GB...who's to say it won't be the same crap over again...

Love my vibrant, it does what it does + some ..but if I'm shelling out another 500 bucks..it better be worth it....

Nexus Prime should do the trick in a couple months...
[Vibrant General] :
It can't go the same way as tmobile can't pull the same game they pulled with the vibrant unless tmobile rolls out with a lte network. Within a 6 months. It was bad marketing by samsung and tmobile.
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:

[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
1) Either way, don't be upset when a carrier's devices don't support a language that isn't spoken in the country they service. Again, I'm not gonna buy a Corvette and get mad when it doesn't have 4WD. It's irrational ;)

2) I know what you mean, it's frustrating to buy something you're "stuck" with. At the same time, a google search could have let you know about the big things that frustrate you. Again, I don't see how it's Samsung or T-Mobile's fault? Although I DO agree that Samsung probably knew about faulty GPS hardware and purposefully mislead people by saying, "we're working on a fix that we'll roll out later".

3) That's why I stay with T-Mobile as well. I'll probably swap to a more expensive carrier with worse customer service because I travel a lot and need a larger high speed network.

4) All I said was that when we know about the issues in something that we buy, and we buy it anyway, we're agreeing to take the good with the bad. I do think it's ridiculous that the GPS sucks and that updates take a while, but it is what it is. Since those things have turned out to be a bigger deal to me than I initially thought they'd be, I'll learn my lesson and be more careful about the next device I select in those regards.

5) I'm 31. :p

6) For clarification, that entire post wasn't directed at you or anyone specifically. I was merely drawing examples. I too agree that a pure Google experience is the way to go for those of us that like to make these devices our own.

At the same time, manufacturers are in the business of making their devices unique and carriers are in the business of branding phones their own way. Example, we'll probably never see a Verizon Droid that isn't slapped with every piece of bloatware that they offer, and Verizon has a TON of it. Most consumers probably use nasty bloatware, so I understand why it gets slapped on a phone.

I think the complaints about the SGS line are valid, but I also think that, as far as updates go, it isn't laziness on Samsung's part, it's just that they rolled out a TON of unique Galaxy S devices and Google's architecture has just proved to not play nice with touchwiz. :eek:
[Vibrant General] OmniNut:
Does this phone still have that feature where you put 2 fingers on the screen and tilt back or forth to zoom in/out?
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
I'm pretty sure it does. They were talking about that feature on one of the Android Central podcasts.
[Vibrant General] طوني تبولة:
I cracked my Vibrant screen earlier today (technically yesterday) and my phone now is useless since the lower part of the screen is not responsive and I cannot unlock the screen or answer phone calls.

so Google must release this Nexus Prime this Oct 11 or I'm screwed with the SGSII :(
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
ur making it sound like the sgsII is a ghetto phone? Sold 10 million already thats excluding the us...ur not screwed.
[Vibrant General] :
Idk why you think nexus prime is going to be any better than the Samsung galaxy 2. Prime will be essentially be the same phone as a Samsung galaxy 2.
[Vibrant General] itsjusttim:
With wayyy better screen resolution! And ics out of the box, along with fast updates.

The tmo sgs2 is an excellent phone though, and protects if the merger goes through.
[Vibrant General] ronin4740:
*sigh* Looks like the Prime may be heading to Verizon as an exclusive... http://www.product-reviews.net/2011...release-date-emphasized-by-verizon-inventory/ I really do NOT want to be a Verizon customer so I guess this makes the T-Mo SGSII my next phone... *sigh*
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
only exclusive for a short while til the gsm versions come out
[Vibrant General] :
If this nexus prime has no SD card slot and only 16 gig internal storage. It is already under the galaxy2 It doesn't matter if has 720p display. The new display certain games apps will not work because of the resolution. Stock ice cream sandwich will be buggy. Even with source code release. It will take time to get all the bugs worked out. Unless you want stock touchwiz icecream updates wont matter. Because you'll be running miui which will use icecream source or cm 8. Besides the resolution of the screen and processor your buying a Samsung galaxy 2.
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
the more updates is over rated

i've been using the Nexus S since it came out DEC/2010, and they only released 3 official updates

the newest one 2.3.6 was just released less than a week ago

so, although updates are sort of guaranteed, we do not get more updates than other phones.

besides when CM7 runs better than stock 2.3.x, why even bother with stock Android when CM7 can run so much better ;)
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
this is actually true

When we started with the Nexus S, it had the newest OS in the market, and man... not even GPS App worked properly until like 2 month later, when developers started fixing their Apps/Games to work on Gingerbread

so the same will happen yet again with Icecream 4.0
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
that means 3 month minimum

so GSM version will not see light until 2012 Feb the earliest
[Defy General] ArRaY92:
Hi defy users,

I have a question regarding the themes of Cm7. I currently have chosen the cyan theme and I love it! However, there are some elements left that are the default yellow color like the volume indicator, some selections or the querty input field in landscape...

Is there a way to change them into cyan as well?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Istarth:
HTC is sending landscape dock stations... but Sense has no landscape mode !....

Is there any way to we can do to be able to use our dock stations without breaking our necks ?

Something like:

- Enable sense landscape mode ??

- Any app to be able to use a different launcher for portrait and landscape ??

Any ideas ???

Really TY !
[HTC Sensation] Wolfenstein:
i would be very much interested in this too.

mindboggling to think that they place the usb port on the side, design docks in landscape mode, and it wont switch to landscape.

As much as i understood, devices with a physical keyboard seem to be able to display sense in landscape, so i really wonder why that isnt available for the sensation :(
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Thats why I use a portrait dock LOL. Actually I do but not because of preference, more of a need for more desk space at work. :). I use craigsdocks.com and I can use any case on the market with these docks. You just need a little double sided tape to adjust anything. Anyways back to topic....

I think you can use launcherpro or some other launcher to go landscape but I prefer stock sense.

You can go landscape mode when the dock app is launched though. To get it to work, I can use an app called llama location profiles, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&feature=search_result

It's a condition/action app where you can set current conditions up and then when those conditions are met, the actions you set will trigger. So to trigger the dock app, I set it up where if the condition is when I have it on charging either usb or ac, connected to wifi, or any other condition like setting a time frame, the trigger will to launch the dock app. You can set up the conditions to your liking so that's the cool factor about it, IMO.
[HTC Sensation] tomygunner:
just dont use sense, it sucks anyway. best app is launcher pro, which has many useful settings and landscape of course too. the only good thing of sense is the lock screen, the rest is bullsh*t
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Bulletproof ROM has dock mode and is awesome.

That ROM is running 1.72 so I'm not sure if Roman include it in his ROM or if it's actually something coming on 1.72.
[HTC Sensation] tomygunner:
try car dock home it works for landscape and portrait mode

Help, I was following the Revolutionary process on the youtube video. I got to S-OFF, but it wouldn't let me load the recovery program and now Revolutionary won't see my phone. I had an update .IMG on the SD card, which I removed by letting the phone re-install the update and then deleting it via USB. I still have S-Off, and the SU file is on my SD car, but I never renamed it. How can I fix this? I don't know how to use adb and my SD card is read-only when I put it into my laptop.
