[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] p51d007:
I have a Dell Streak...even though it is running 2.2.2, I LOVE it.

I wanted to take a look at the SGS2 just to see if it was as good in person, as

it has been in the press.

Stopped by a blue shirt store (Best Buy), strolled around looking for it. Couldn't find it. Finally a drone asked me if I was looking for anything. Said, yes, but you don't have it. Told her and she said, "oh, we have them, we just didn't bother putting them out". LOL No display for the device, nothing. I said do you even have a non working one. Oh, I guess I have one behind the counter, but with the new iphone coming out....I just turned and walked away.

Best Buy has become such a joke. About all it is good for, is going into the

store to actually HOLD something in your hand, then buying it from Ebay or

Amazon for LESS.

Stopped by a corporate death star store and saw a FUNCTIONING one. Wow! Fast, smooth, BRIGHT. If it wasn't for the smaller 4.3" screen vs the 5" screen I have on the streak, I would have gotten one right then. If the Note comes to the shores before 2012, I'll get one, or just bite the bullet and get the SGS2.

Kind of hard going back to a smaller screen when you get use to a 5 incher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] war eagle:
Yeah Best Buy has gotten bad. I went to make a simple exchange of Infuse for Galaxy S II and left those crappy headphones home by mistake and she wouldn't let me exchange. There was another Best Buy on the way home, stopped in there and the guy didn't even ask about the headphones. They were sold out at 12:15 though so I had to get a return and go to AT&T to get the phone.

The pricing in there is ridiculous. They are butt raping people, 40 dollars for a 6 ft HDMI cord? Get out of here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
Every B&M store has those prices for HDMI. It's sad, really.

There is no such place called "BEST BUY"...Only "Worst Buy"...

There is no best buy only Zuul...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] p51d007:
Boy you got that right!

Sometimes when I need a hard drive or something RIGHT NOW to fix a down piece of gear, I'll stop there to get it. Hearing the "lies" they tell people sometimes just makes me want to yell RUN! QUICK! Before you get ripped off!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
My local Best Buy store got 2 in stock today for AT&T. 2?! Luckily, my regular AT&T store had plenty so I got one there. Slightly harder still was finding a screen protector. After 9 months out of contract I'm back, but it's all good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] serialtoon:
You guys must be going to some shady best buys. The one i go to they know me by name and always know what im in for before i even ask for what i want. They also price matched AT&T for me this morning and gave me 10% off for my whole purchase because im a rewards member. Me and Best Buy are friends. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MisterEdF:
They got your number for sure. :) Worst Buy is THE devil. Betcha by the end of next year they will have gone the way of Circuit City.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avengeryarr:
Both best buys near me got two each, and one of them is always being slammed by tour busses. I don't know why so many best buys are only getting 2 GS2s each but thankfully I got one of those two so I'm happy.

Sent from my ATT GS2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haas360:
We got only small quantity of gs2 cause of at&t. We were told that they wanted them because of the extra add on packages and accessories. We are considered second to corporate att . That went over employee news. We can do something called a instant ship though. Which takes about 1 biz day. Cause we basicaly get it from a near att store. :) lol

but what American wants to wait lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brianlp:
My local Best Buy only had two also, both sold. I got mine from AT&T just around the corner.

They also only had two Samsung Galaxy 8.9 Tablets, a couple weeks ago. I bought one of them. :D

Does the Best Buy package come with the HDMI adapter? My box doesn't have one but I read in a review that AT&T was including it free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] serialtoon:
brianlp, i purchased at Best Buy and it didnt come with the HDMI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thehavock18:
I love the best buy in Fairview heights IL. They only had 2 let me pre-order and then gave me 32 dollars off the phone bought my captivate off me for 112. Everyone was super nice and always have been.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] war eagle:
AT&T didn't package crap with this phone. No HDMI adapter, headphones or anything that came with the infuse for 50 more bucks. Oh well they did include the dual core processor lololol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brianlp:
That's where I went!!

I'm in O'Fallon, IL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] p51d007:
Maybe BB doesn't want to be "stuck" with a bunch of GS2's this close to the "all important" iphone5's. All the iSheep will be standing in line again saying I want an iphone 5 LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brianlp:
That's what the BB guy told me. He said he could get me one from another store, which I assumed was another BB. I asked him when would they get another shipment, and he said Thursday's is when the truck came in. I said thanks, then drove over to AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kidsavior:
Best Buy can be a PAIN, I will readily admit that. However it can really depend on the service. I tend to get really good service at my local Best Buy. And since we recently bought a new home and upgraded out TV, fridge and washer Dryer, I had a BUNCH of reward zone points. So I pre ordered my GS II at BB. when I got there they where great, they returned my $50.00 pre order to my card. Price matched the "rumored" $148.88 Wal-Mart price, and did it all pretty dran quick too. My total OOP for the phone was $1.88. So while I can agree that in many cases BB isn't the best, currently I am a fan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] reallybigwaffle:
I have not had an issue with Best Buy. I had gotten my Nexus S there, now my SGS II and everything went smoothly. They even price matched WalMart for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
I got my sgs2 from best buy and they price matched Walmart so I saved some money there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brianlp:
I helped put Circuit City out of business by asking for steep discounts on TV's or I'm walking. ;) I got BB to price match a $1300 TV that Amazon was selling for $999. I wish I could get AT&T to price match the Walmart price for the $199 I gave them yesterday. They stuck a $35 restocking fee sticker on the box. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MisterEdF:
Tip: If you purchase with most any AMEX cards they (Amex) will refund the restocking fee.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brianlp:
I did put it on my AMEX Gold card. :)

Thanks for the tip!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Haas360:
Bestbuy doesn't have restocking fees....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dark Shogun:
I guess every Best Buy is different. I got my SG2 from Best Buy. They have a display model and when I talked to the guy that sold me my phone and told him what I wanted he didn't try to offer me another phone. He know about this phone and said it was popular. So besides having to wait in line my experience was very good. They even price matched walmart's website at $159.99.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] entropism:
My local BB was actually pretty good. I went the night before to get my girl an iphone, and the worker let me know that they were getting 5 in, and nobody had preordered. I showed up on the 2nd when they opened, and the worker and I were the only ones there to get the phones. None of the local stores had stock for some reason, nor did they have any cases left, except for the ugly leather/rubber skin case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brianlp:
That's pretty much how I got the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 tablet from them on the day it was released.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] darkness86:
Hi,

I have a big Problem,

my HTC HD2 will not boot WP7

The bootloader is running,

i can boot al things and when i will run WP7 after MAGLDR 1.13 the Phone never will go out of the Boot-Logo (HTC quietly brilliant)

The Problem is, all the other Roms there are older then the Mango-Roms aren`t going now....

The DFT-Test Roms are running and all the other Roms will not run....

if anybody here who can help me?

(my english is not very good but i hope you can understand it :) )
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chabun:
Which rom are you using? 'Cause that's the point...

Have you experienced other issues with previous roms? Because it could be related to your sd card...
[XPERIA X10 General] GattoVI:
Hi,

I have seen this bug mentioned a couple of times in the development section, but haven't seen any solution

I experienced it a couple of times already and the only way to "fix" the issue is to reinstall the ROM

After about a week of normal use, the circular battery gadget disappears and I am left with the battery percentage alone. After that, any reboot would erase my Google account settings from the phone, the lock screen would be gone and the home button would stop working

I did *not* touch with the settings (I saw Wolfbreak claiming that the bug is due to the user playing with that) andf I really don't want to install the ROm for the third time

Any idea would be appreciated

Cheers

[Dell Streak 7] vtinmanv:
Home button just stopped working. Its happened a couple of times before, but it comes back after a day or so. Is this a common problem on the ds7? I didn't find any mention of this anywhere.

If honeycomb have the button bar at the bottom when its released, this wont be a problem.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I have never seen this problem, and have not heard about it before. Have you try to search for an app that remap button?
[Dell Streak 7] vtinmanv:
The home button is working again after I left it alone overnight and restarted it in the morning.

After thinking about it a bit, it seems that every time the home button stops working, it's after I take the Streak out in my jacket pocket. I think this may be a problem with static electricity, the screen have been rubbing against my jacket so it's always spotless when I take it out of my pocket. But why is only the home button affected?

Can anyone recommend a good anti-static case for the Streak 7? :D

EDIT: Spoke too soon, it seems on and off. But it's definitely static that caused this.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I'm using this case, it fit perfect because its made for the ds7. I don't know if its anti - static or not, but it close into a book like style. I'm not affiliated with this eBay seller, just using it for reference. :)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-T-MOBIL...580194?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23128548e2
[Dell Streak 7] vtinmanv:
I was eyeing this case too. But since the button is already broke, no point in getting a case now. Hopefully, this will be a non-issue once I install honeycomb since it'll have the action bar. Assuming it works just like 3.1 on a galaxy tab 10.1. In fact, I might be looking for a way to disable the hardware buttons.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
I've had my screen itself be poor or nutty responsive behaviour, but I can almost always turn the screen off and back on and it fixes it. Usually happens when I pull it out of my pocket and it's either still partly in my pocket or my fingers are on the screen while turning it on. Seems all capacitive devices do a screen calibration on screen-on and it hoses it when it's being touched.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmoothMarx:
Ok, I'm going to give you guys the whole background story just to cover all the bases.

I've had a Nexus S for about 6 months, never had a hitch. Rooted it, etc etc all fine and dandy.

About two weeks ago, I updated it to CM 7.1 RC1. So far so good.

I've always had the same Vodafone SIM card, which has accompanied me through a couple of phones. Last week, I went to London and bought a UK pay as you go card, to use data without roaming. Perfect. No problems whatsoever.

So, to make it clear, I never had problems with my original (portuguese) SIM card, nor with the british one I had just bought.

However, it was upon my return that I realized I had forgotten my SIM card at my friend's house. I quickly stopped by the Vodafone store at the airport, where they promptly gave me a new SIM, ready to use within a couple of hours.

Since then, my phone after a short period of being on, spontaneously fails to detect the SIM card/no longer recognizes it. I've tried scanning for networks in the settings, but it won't let me register again. It takes a reboot to get it working. Thing is after a couple of minutes or hours, it happens again.

I have since exchanged the new SIM card with a newer one , also from Vodafone, albeit a different store. Yet, the problem persists.

I didn't alter any settings between Portugal-UK-Portugal, so everything should be exactly the same. Does anyone know how to solve this or why this happens?

Faulty phone?

Faulty radio?

Faulty SIM cards?

ROM bug?

Any help is appreciated.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman108:
I just picked up this phone that was released today by AT&T.

Only reason to spend the money was to get the NFC feature.

I see that the battery has NFC on it, but

1. How do I enable the phone to use it?

2. How do I set it up?

TIA

ask the ATT galaxy section
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
The phone is NFC ready but it's not being implemented at this time. From what I read somewhere At&t is still waiting to finalize some agreements. In my opinion they might push an update to the phone to "activate" the NFC.

[Focus General] momadine:
Hi everybody,

I'm living in Egypt and back when I had NoDo the network signal stregnth was weak on some places I used to be in and when I installed the Mango RTM I was very pleased to find that the network is much better covered and I didn't lose any call at all.

Now with this original official Mango I don't know what happened, the same behaviour with NoDo and the network coverage is weak again.

I suspect that Samsung puts it's own drivers in the official Mango and those are worse than the Microsoft ones.

Also the Battery life with the RTM was around 3 days and 10 hours and some times more and now with the Official it's the same as NoDo 2 days or less.

What do you suggest and would I get back to the RTM one if I want to without the Backup as I don't have one but I have the original 7004 Roms?

Thanks for the help.

What is wrong with google earth and google maps suddently not working for the Huawei Ideos X5 and not appearing in the androind market? They used to work now it says they are not supported by my phone :S Is it because of the custom rom?

It is most likely caused by the default region of the custom rom... It happened to me once with CM7...

I've been getting this too since I flashed the latest gummy GBE. I'm sure it happens more than I notice. When it doesn't restart itself, I gotta reboot the phone. Also, I'm getting tons of lag. I've flashed twice already, but I think I might give it another go. Anyone have any ideas?

Lots of problems with the latest Gummy GBE. The status bar issue is minor compared to the hot boot issue. My advice is to go back to the RC until they have the problems worked out.

Hello XDA

First post here, altho am an old XDA searcher hehe.

I just flashed a new ROM, [18.Sep.11][ZIP]★★★★★HyperDroid-CM7-v3.0.1[a2sd][CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.5][seader_R5]

Now, the good thing is, I can use my small standard battery pack again as it doesnt drain it that fast.

Bad part is...

As I backed up most off my apps from my previous ROM and imported them here, I cannot update them anymore.

And most apps I wana download just cannot be downloaded because of incompatibility (my behind!)

Now am stuck with retarded alted apps for twitter, FB and many other apps, or just not using them at all anymore...

It there a workaround for this issue? Maybe downgrade the market (which prob will auto update again...)

I might have seen a post with some one saying "you got to edit some .ini file in your root with a android notepad" but seems like I cant even install a simple Android notepad, so therefore quite anoying...

Edit to that part:

I did manage to get a rooted combination to mod the build.prop file

This is what I changed:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=vision
ro.product.device=vision
ro.product.board=vision

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

But, it did not work...

Thanks in advance, keep the trolling for yourself or your little brother, just share what you think is a fix for this, I will thank you for it.

PVTD

EDIT 2: Current solution is on the 2th post.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PVTD:
I did find a fix who takes a bit of work, but I hope to get some one to make a decent full fix for it :)

Here is how I did it:

First, locate the Android Market in your apps list and select it.

You will find a button saying "Uninstall Updates", use it.

Once it's done, open the Android Market, press "I agree" and notice the app will auto close.

Act fast, as the app is downloading the updated market in silent mode.

What you do is open a rooted file explorer. Any should do.

Go to "root/cache/downloaded/ and delete everything inside.

Then it should be done, as that worked for me, tho not sure how long it would take to update again.

Hope this works for you :)

PVTD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tmtx76:
The Fix

You'll need Root Explorer

Open Root Explorer

Open the system folder

Long hold on build.prop and choose open in text editor

find the line that says ro.sf.lcd_density=

Change the numbers from 192 to 160

Save the file

Reboot your phone

Go to application management

choose the All tab

find market

choose it and then choose to force stop

then clear your cache

close out of file manager

reopen market place

you should now be able to get to the apps that you couldn't!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] famewolf:
The rom on my hd2 comes with the new market by default...at first I thought the device incompatible messages were due to my 192dpi but even reverting to 240 it still showed same. Is there another solution?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Droski:
Side note--There is an LCD density changing app so you can change on the fly with out having to go through all the file system stuff. Also the LCD density change seems to work for some and not for others, so to me it's a bust.

Now for the market-- The only thing that I have found to work short of altering the market itself, is using the market on my computer and pushing to my phone. This of course is a hassle and requires you to keep track of when updates come out for the apps you have.... But it works. I most recently had this problem with widget locker only seconds before I had it uninstalled it from my phone. Went on the web and pushed it to my phone, boom, installed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ejebyte:
Changing the LCD density didn't work for me.. :( I just reverted to the old Market app to allow installation of some apps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chevyboy33:
I had same problem... here's how I fixed it. Change LCD density to default 240, then reboot. Then go to settings-applications-manage apps-market. Under market push clear data. Open market and agree and that worked for me.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gadgetmaster07:
For americandroid, you need to change the density in startup.txt, then reboot. No need to modify the build.prop file yourself as the change will get overwritten on reboot by whatever is in startup.txt
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] goldengoose:
Thanks, this worked for me, but I changed my res to 240 and removed data rather than cleared the cache. I also installed "DPI Changer" after manually editing the file a few times to make life easier.
