[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
I really respect this fact. I mean, I have a gaming computer, gaming mouse and have very different standards for what I consider a "game".

While the phone selection is nice out there.. if your really looking for mobile gaming.. the psp vita isn't going to require a monthly contract and your going to get higher quality games designed for dedicated gamers.

I am not knocking iphone, ipad or android. just saying we don't need to forget other options exist even in this age of "all in one".

I do love angry birds and even the "pew pew" game I play time to time. Robo defense is pretty awesome.

However, I don't think of these as games I would play if they didn't happen to be "extras" on my phone. I realize some people are throwing away the gameboy and tossing psp in favor of phones, on the other hand.. if I were looking for a mobile gaming solution.. I would really opt for them.. especially since your already paying 200$ anyway.

I think there is a decent selection in the android market.. and one thing I was driving at is if you really plan on gaming that much.. a dedicated device may really be the better option.

Then again, (to me) ipad being discussed as a gaming device is really more in line with a comparison against dedicated devices rather than phones..

I do agree with this.

I personally *hate* apple, and I *hate* the iphone.

With that said, I do realize that other people don't find the iOS as boring and drab as as I do.

If I couldn't pick android, I would opt for blackberry over iOS.

However, I am only speaking about my personal preference.

There is nothing wrong with someone getting an apple product *as long as* they know what they are getting and are't just blindly buying it.

So, I say let the user make the decision based on the criteria they need.

If we don't let people make their own choices, for their own *LOGICAL* reasons. we are no better than isheep.

Oh I'm something of a gamer too. I'm hoping to at some point start building my $1k gaming PC.

But I have to admit that I've been suckered in by casual games both on the smartphone and the PC. I dunno why, but I suppose I'm not so competitive a gamer for one thing (I suck at FPS's, and I am so over WoW. Now I'm addicted to Cut the Rope :p)

But I could afford a Vital along with everything else, I would get one. I probably would still mostly carry my phone with me, however.

Yeah you're right. But I think at least of the iPad games I like the most, most have an iPhone version.

[General Questions and Answers] umanko:
heart of any phone is its processor which in case of iphone 5 is created by samsung . SG2 is beast and I am 100% sure will beat iphone5 the day it releases in performance . Android is dominating the smartphone O.S market which mean more and more gr8 apps in the corner while iphone shrinks to dust .
[General Questions and Answers] joon82:
Iphone 5 will be better for sure.

Galaxy S II was released months before(Guessing close to a year when iphone5 releases)

Samsung already has new phone to compete with iphone 5.

Galaxy S II is just released in U.S but its been released for quite a while.

I think its called Galaxy celix or something like that is going to compete with iphone5.

Owned both iphone and androids phones and iphone is much easier to hack and customize compare to android phones.

android - read, go into file manager, etc

iphone -goto cydia and install.
[General Questions and Answers] Akulamenuri:
Both will be fantastic phones but I think the iPhone 5 will be the better overall device. It may or may not be because of specs but I feel the user experience in iOS is still better than Android. I don't want to jinx it but I am sure there is going to be a fragmentation issue once Ice Cream Sandwich is released later this month (this is in regards to the normal consumer that does not know about rooter and hacking their phones)
[General Questions and Answers] AdamHart612:
Wait until the iPhone 5 is released then make your decision. Apple makes products with fantastic build quality and nice software. My first computer was a Macintosh 2, purchased in 1988. Still runs like day 1 (although I really need to clean up some of the yellowing keyboard keys...) Forget about SJ's ways of doing business and look at the product when you make your decision.

GS2 is FANTASTIC! I love mine! But guess what? I'll be getting an iPhone5 launch day...Not because I think its gonna be "better," but because it's a different experience. I like variety in my electronics, otherwise I get bored. Variety is the spice of life. If you can't see the allure in a device then don't buy it. I will also be picking up a GalaxyNexus asap.

Worth noting (if it matters to you) that the SGS2 has been on sale for 5 months at this point.

Where did I mention the screen?

[General Questions and Answers] Snow_fox:
If you want/need any help or advice on building a pc let me know.

I love casual games, but when I hear people discussing gaming.. I usually feel the need to point out there is a growing gap between what is "casual" (as in everyone does it to fill time at the dentist office) and " gaming" as in people who enjoy gaming when they have free time and persue it as a real hobby..

Why do people want opinions about which one is better?

so which touch panel manufacturing patent did samsung infringe upon before we get into the discussion about "touch panel" is part of the LCD screen with capacitive compenents being built directly onto the screen

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

these vs threads aren't that bad as long as it doesn't end up with people spitting out non-facts. Opinions are fine but completely untrue statements aren't

As for the open source comments, android isn't entirely open source either
[General Questions and Answers] Prawesome:
I would always go with SGS2 because its specs are remarkable and it comes at a lower price range.I think SGS2 owns iphone 4s considering there wasnt any iphone5 and no revolutionary improvements were made.SGS2 has a 1.4GHZ Dual-core processor while the iphone 4s has a 1GHZ Dual core.sgs2 also supports micro-sd card so i would go with SGS2 anyday.

[General Questions and Answers] light19940120:
Iphone 5 is good but SGS2 is better :D
[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
Actually the iPhone4s has an undervolted a5: the iPad2 is clocked @900 mhz, so at a guess iPhone4s should be @800 mhz, exactly like the iPhone4. Again, this actually means nothing: my SGS2 @800 mhz works with the same smoothness as it does at stock speed. The iPhone4 was already perfectly smooth with a single core, so i have no doubts it will feel faster than anything else on the market because of the fully hw accelerated ui. Also, the gpu packed inside the 4s is a lot faster than Mali-400, and iOS has those console quality games we're never gonna get, and has a lot of them too.

Nevertheless, iPhone4s SUCKS GIANT DONKEYS BALLSACK because of that retarded little screen which spoils the amazing gaming experience that the new soc would have granted. Gg apple, indeed. My ass.
[General Questions and Answers] scyld:
Which ones? I know that iOS has a larger selection of games, but what console-quality games are you referring to?

Ive found that running cm7 without switching the kernel works best. I've been using nightlies for a week now with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Now before I would switch kernels just to overclock and that's when issues started arising. Try running your roms with the kernels they come with. Guarantee you a much better experience.

[Nexus S General] twyster:
I love my wife's Nexus. I've got an Epic on SRF 1.2 and Genocide. I've done a lot of work to get it just right so that it's stable, fast, and gives great battery life. However, I can't do a lot of things with Go launchers and themes with it and stuff. Her Nexus is stock rooted, with the Go launcher and different themes, runs nearly as fast stock 1.0 ghz as my Epic running 1.2 ghz, and gets about the same battery life despite using a brighter screen setting.
[Nexus S General] RushAOZ:
I miss alot of things my epic had. Touchwiz, the multimedia capabilities, the camera, gorilla glass. I've yet to break 15 hours of battery life on my nexus. I've hit 35 on my epic. (Though I think its because I was able to shut 3g off and keep 4g on.) I never used 3g, so I'm sure shutting it off got me awesome battery life.

Nexus S is the bomb diggity. Love the ROM selection, love the screen though gorilla glass would be a plus. I use Zagg screen protectors on all my devices so the scratching isn't really a huge concern. I waited for the white Nexus to come to Telusplanet north of the border and I have never been happier with a phone. Definitely no buyers remorse here even after a month of use.
[Nexus S General] dpeeps74:
I just got this phone today and I'm all stock at the moment. Coming from heroc so even without root this phone is so much faster than the hero that really the only thing I am missing is the ability to take a screen shot to show it off online...yes I'm too lazy to do that through usb. Actually, I miss the notification toggles too but for now I'll live. I'm sure I won't last too long without rooting but I'll be doing a bit of reading first.

I had the evo 3d and loved the phone, but now that I have this I see a slew of people saying that they can't stand the resolution...

I really can't tell a difference lol.. I see NO pixelation and the only difference for me over qHD is the fact that things are slightly larger.

I personally love the screen on this phone compared to the 3d so much crisper its incredible.

You can notice the stair steps on the diagonal lines in text but it isn't really bothersome after a brief adjustment period. Personally I have no problems with the resolution and it is nice that all the software works without new updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xisaacbx:
I've owned the evo 3d, photon 4g, and now the epic 4g touch. The epic 4g touch's screen hands down beats them both. I too don't understand about people who complain about the text as it looks fine to me. I mean do people really zoom in that much to notice the pixles in the text?

Are you going to be using the phone for T-Mobile? Cause that is what I am using my phone with. Even do the lack of 3g was dissapointing, i am near wifi most of the time so its okay. Using this phone as a gaming machine is totally worth it.

Alejandrissimo took about a day to respond. I am sure when he has time he can do it for you. He unlocked both my sim and bootloader for me with little hastle. I truly recommend you wait for him. If not look for Blagus to unlock the phone for you. I believe he also does it aswell.

Hey Guys,

I'm new in Android and compiled my first Android Rom from Stock with A2SD and other tweaks (learned from this site). I was wondering how the developers adds their personal info (i.e. - Welcome to "ROM NAME" before the - "Select your language" line) on first boot.

With the new hotspot cap of 5 gigs, I'm wondering if that will affect the wifi tether that us root users enjoy. I wouldn't think it would kick in since it's not already intergrated into that. So my question is, will root users using the free mobile hotspot be affected by Sprints 5gig cap?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
In my opinion, no.

I believe that software like easytether and wireless tether use a different way to force the phone to tether instead of the mobile hot spot resources, but someone who's really in the loop and understands the mechanics in the background of theses apps please keep me honest.

But I do know is that regardless over time if you use theses methods a lot they may catch up to you and they may send you a nasty letter or even suspend your account if they realize you've been tethering without paying. I do not recall if this has happened but I think I red something like that happening to a few people down in the androidforums.com Sprint section.

So proceed with caution if you do use this on the regular.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
I believe that they only put the cap on to cut down the excessive abuse of the tethering. How can they speed up the data service if everyone used the tether feature as their primary internet, and used tons and tons of data and slowed down the service (the slow 3G and 4G services that we always complain about). We want unlimited everything, but yet complain and wonder why data service is so slow. Who is and who is not using the wireless tether app is not their primary concern right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paloki1:
Well, I don't use massive amounts of data, I just use it if I really HAVE to. I have comcast and they give me crazy speeds so I am fine with that. I would use it on the go but at the same time, they shouldn't limit customers that use data on the phone, its unlimited, and if and when they "try" to say you have been using too much data. WELL ITS UNLIMITED so booya! I don't think its there concern how we use it as long as its through the phone and not the mobile hotspot they provide. I'm sure overtime users will abuse it and ruin it but we'll see. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qhinton:
I feel like expanding my tab. So I'm having a hard time deciding on buying the keyboard dock or save $50-60, and get the dock stand and a bluetooth keyboard. Battery life is not a factor since I'm getting 7 to 9 hours per charge, and but usb port is. Just wanted some opinions.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
If you've gone for a while without ever needing the keyboard dock, there isn't much that any of us could say that would make you change your mind, and judging by your case the dock stand should work just fine. And if you wanted to save even more money, you could just use a cheap USB keyboard instead of paying for a Bluetooth.

I'm assuming you have the dock. What is your experience with it.
