[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] marnel47:
Just googled the issue and there are tons of documented cases and complaints out there :( Seems to be an issue with the hardware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Take a picture of something that isn't viewing-angle-dependent before claiming there's an issue please.

My first instinct is that the camera is somewhat IR-sensitive (this is EXTREMELY common in cell phone cameras due to lack of space for a hot mirror filter) and the screens being imaged have higher IR content when viewed dead-on. (In both pictures, the red spot appears where the camera is viewing the screen dead-on. In the first picture the camera was centered in front of the screen, in the second the camera was at the lower right aimed up and left.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bmxant:
That explains a lot.....So it's not a hardware fault? Just a limitation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hyelton:
Mine done the red thing with taking a pic of my screen but here is a pic I took outside

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'll take a further look at it tonight, but IR sensitivity is not exactly rare in digital cameras, especially cheaper/smaller ones. Good hot mirrors (IR-blocking filters) cost money AND they're large.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dfxda:
Yeah I have the same problem, I took pictures of the tile floor at my parents house, and it had a red center to it also, is their a way to fix this?

Also for the love of god, why does this video camera not have image stabilization? every video is shaky as hell.

Just went to the store and got it 210 after tax and weaved 18 dollar upgrade fee

Just got home. I told them il hook it up later. (45min drive from my house)

I was the first person to request/Buy it here

Just unboxed it and put my sd card in it time to play with it

Anything I can help with?

Here is an Unboxing/Little software tour. Might do a better video with (autofocus) lol if people request it. (Yes I know it shows my number idc)

Also What I dont understand is when I do A Speedtest even on my Microcell I dont get more than about 2.5mbps down:/ whats with that? ( Ihave a 7mb down connection)

I was their first SGS2 sale at my local store also on Sunday. I was there waiting for them to open up at 11AM. :D $214 out the door.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nybmx:
How do you go about waving the upgrade fee? Do you just tell them you want it waived?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mohkg:
What I just did is tell them to go ask the store manager and he said ok and got me the. Alist on there and waived activation fee I think I gotta good deal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dxtra:
Like I've been telling everyone around the forums that speedtest app it's so unreliable and inaccurate most of the time. For example when I test my iMac Wi-Fi or Ethernet speed I get around 5mb when I'm suppose to get around 35mb down on Verizon Fios. When I switch from server to server I get different speed some correct some extremely slow. I notice the same thing with the app and the web site. Go to speakeasy.net/speedtest I found to be more accurate.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
I think they're stupid on the iphone because I remember how they were released to address the antenna issues. Still, I just looked at a review of one (from youtube) for the SGS II and they're pretty cool since they protect the edges and still allow you to easily pop off the battery door to change the battery or swap out sd cards (or even use extended batteries). I'm kinda hoping they come out with them for our phones now...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IcOpRo:
This is the company that makes them, funny that this video was posted because I was just looking at the SGS2 cases they make and I was really looking at that same one.

Hope SGP makes it for our device.

[Quantum General] otnos:
Hi all,

I just bought a used LG Quantum from ebay. I would greatly appreciate all of your input to help me verify that this phone is working properly. I am upgrading from a Touch Pro 2, wm 6.5.

1. I don't see a water indicator sticker. Is there a blue sticker in the battery compartment to indicate water? I see a small hole that is white filled on the top left region, opposite the sim. Is this it?

2. How can I verify if the ROM is stock? Is there anyway for me to check to see if the previous owner has replaced the ROM or has done anything to the phone that might prevent the Mango update? Mango update is REALLY important, I have been holding off upgrading until Mango comes out.

3. I have been using the Touch Pro 2 without a data plan. I don't have a contract and don't want to enter a contract. All my datat usage is wifi, and it has served me well. I have wifi at the office, and wifi at home, therefore no need for a 3g data. In WM 6.5, I can turn off the 3g data modem. Can I do the same with this LG? I also have AT&T block data on their side, but I don't want any "accidental" data charges. I would feel much better if I can turn 3g off on my end.

4. How do I do a factory wipe? This might be necessary if the previous owner have not done so. It is currently charging so I haven't got the chance to mess with it. Its very hard waiting....

I might have more question as I go along. Thanks in advanced for everyone's help. I really love Windows Mobile and have been using Windows Mobile phone before the iPhone ever came out. I got my wife an Android phone, and I'm very disappointed with Android. I can't believe companies putting out Android phones that are not usable out of the box. You have dig for apps and install additional apps in order to make the phone acceptable for use. Anyway...thanks again everyone. :)
[Quantum General] otnos:
Update:

Well, I found the factory reset in the Setting menu, and have done it. I noticed that after resetting the phone, I went through the setup, and saw that in the setup process there was a check box for data option. I unchecked the box so that the phone would not use data. Does anyone know if that would stop any 3g data access?
[Quantum General] otnos:
Update:

It looks like no one wants to share their experiences, so I'll just go on with this monologue and post things as I find them.

I found the 3g data switch in the setting menu. So it looks like you can turn off 3g data and just use wifi.
[Quantum General] Kev.:
Hey, I just got this phone as well. Local bell was clearing them out for 78.83. looks to be pretty cool. Just bought it as an extra phone. I don't think its anyone is ignoring you, this is just a low profile device haha. I've just updated it to Mango as well. Runs really well.
[Quantum General] otnos:
That's a really good price, did you have to sign a contract for it? I have been buying my phone on ebay to avoid contracts. :)
[Quantum General] otnos:
I've just connected my phone to the zune software for update to Mango, but it says the phone is up to date: 7.0 (7390).
[Quantum General] Nobody975:
I got impatient so I did the disconnect from the internet trick. Was a breeze and worked right away and I've had no problems with it.
[Quantum General] otnos:
Can someone verify for me if this is stock rom:

OS Version: 7.0.7390.0

Firmware Revision Number: 1.1.3.11

Hardware Revision Number: 1.1.0.0

Radio Software Version: 1.1.3.11

Radio Hardware version: 0.3.5.0

Bootloader Verson: 1.5.1.0

Chip SOC version: 0.30.2.0

I want to know if the NODO version is official or the beta.
[Quantum General] otnos:
Update:

ok guys, the windows phone gods have looked down and seen how I'm searching and poking around trying to verify my phone OS so that I can update to Mango; and they are smiling on me. Out of the blue today, the zune software said I have an update! Woohoo! Mango is coming, its been updating for 30 minutes now. :D
[Quantum General] otnos:
Update:

Now running Mango and loving it!

Does anyone know where the water indicator sticker is located on this phone?
[Quantum General] drtolson:
Great to hear... I'm still waiting on mine. Trying to be patient.
[Quantum General] arcspeak:
You were right, the water indicator is the little hole that should be white when dry, and turns pink after getting wet. There's another, larger, square indicator on one end of the battery.
[Quantum General] moonlite:
Otnos. I just bought mine as well on Ebay. Been waiting a long time to upgrade from my HTC Tilt to the new OS. I have to wait for mine to show up, but your rambling postings are great reading as i would ask similar questions being new to the WP7.5 world.
[Quantum General] otnos:
Thank you for confriming that, now I can leave a positive feedback for the seller. :D
[Quantum General] otnos:
hahaha...Good to have you chime in. I'm liking WP more an more each day. AT&T recognized this phone and automatically listed it on my online account. I love thr fact that I can turn off data, in the Settings, Cellular page. I use wifi instead.

At first I was afraid that wifi would drain my battery fast, so I manually turn it off and on. But I have been reading and found that WP will turn of wifi when the screen is off, isn't that great? Now I just leave wifi on, and whenever I turn my phone on, it automatically have a data connection.

I don't use text either. Why pay AT&T $20 a month for this funtion!

Here is my work around. I use Google Voice. Set Google Voice to send text to your Hotmail account that you associated with your phone. When someone text to your Google Voice number, it INSTANTLY goes to your Hotmail. Your Windows Phone will receive a notification in the email live tile. You tap on the email tile to read the text and then reply by email. When you reply to that mail on your phone, your receipient will receive a TEXT reply. Voila! Free text. :)
[Quantum General] otnos:
lol...after describing in details how I can get free texting, I just discovered AT&T Go Phone (pre-paid plan) that has unlimited talk & text for just $50/month. This is a great plan for those of you in the US who have AT&T and no longer under a contract. I used to be on the $40/month plan that only gives me 450 minutes/month. Now I have switched over to their Go Phone prepaid plan that is $50/month ($55.01 with tax) and get unlimited Talk & Text! Data is also available but for additional fee. :)
[Quantum General] daveb673:
I have a Tilt still and am curious to see what you think! I've been contemplating upgrading either to an LG Fathom, LG eXpo, or maybe a Quantum. However, the Samsung Captivate Glide was just announced, so maybe that's what I'll try... I wonder if it is worth getting a one or two year old brand new phone, when my then new Tilt has worked for over 3.5 years.

That is interesting. I have been out of my contract for some time. I am grandfathered with the $30/month unlimited data, and another $5/month for 200 texts. If I didn't travel so much, I think your option would really work. Once I change my plan though, there is no going back...
[Quantum General] otnos:
The quantum is a 1st Gen phone. If you are able, I think you should get a 2nd Gen phone instead.
[Quantum General] rmrbpt:
So I'm probably buying one of these on ebay (I cant write on touchscreens so im in need of a smartphone android or WP with QWERTY on it).

Some questions:

-Whats the newest version of windows phone right now?

-Can LG Quantum be updated to that version?

-How's the battery on this model? Can I get 2 days with moderate use?

-Is anyone trying to make a graphic EQ to WP7? I think the lack of this basic multimedia feature is just ridiculous.

Thanks and sorry to make so much questions
[Quantum General] otnos:
WP7 newest version is Mango, and this LG Quantum can be updated to Mango. I'm running Mango right now.

The battery life is good, you can easy get 2 days moderate use.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by graphic EQ?
[Quantum General] rmrbpt:
So Quantum is still a good phone that can get the newer versions, good to know :)

I meant a graphic equalizer, to change the way music sounds...

And by the way, Is there any App that allows file trasfer over bluetooth from an ordinary phone to a WP7 phone?
[Quantum General] travisxcore:
There is no graphics eq for LG Quantum although there is a way to put HTC's Sound Enhancer App on it.

As for an app for blue tooth? As far as I can remember back you've never needed an app to transfer files over blue tooth, its always been in the OS. You can pair with a phone if thats what youre asking?
[Quantum General] rmrbpt:
It's possible to put HTC sound enhancer on it? And it actually works?

Couldn't find any info on the forum so I will really need your help to make this when I get the phone.

I googled it and it seems that it is impossible to transfer files through bluetooth... But well, the equalizer is way more important so if I can get it to work im fine.
[Quantum General] travisxcore:
Heres the thread on it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073395
[Quantum General] rmrbpt:
Im still in doubt if the HTC app will actually change the sound however I hope that the default equalizer settings will probably be ok.

Thanks
[Quantum General] travisxcore:
From what I've read Sound Enhancer is one of the few HTC apps to work on a non HTC phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToddL:
Suddenly yesterday I stopped being able to access ESPN using the Miren browser. It says "Data Connectivity Problem - The server failed to communicate. Try again later". Still have the problem today, tried rebooting, clearing cache, and still no luck.

Strange this is that I can pull up other websites just fine with Miren, and I can pull up ESPN with other browsers (Dolphin).

Anyone else ever have this?
[Atrix 4G General] isellmidgets:
When on battery power, it boots just fine. But if I plug it in, it shows the moto boot screen, and stays on it forever - and while it's on that screen, the battery isn't charging. I have to unplug it, take the battery out, then boot up without plugging it in. That itself isn't a problem...just a pain.

The problem is when my battery is too low to boot without plugging it in. I can't boot it up on battery power, and I can't charge the battery by plugging it in.

I finally got it to work by borrowing a friend's wall-mounted external battery charger and got the phone up and running. But what the hell do I do for next time?

Also, I installed CWM and it doesn't work, ironically, because CWM requires power to boot into recovery, and my phone won't boot at all when plugged in. The normal recovery has never worked on the phone, since its unboxing, and I'm starting to get pissed about this lack of recovery. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
[Atrix 4G General] carlharsch:
Are you using a USB port to charge?
[Atrix 4G General] isellmidgets:
I've tried USB and a wall charger. When plugged into USB, it turns on but will not enter CWM still. When connected to a wall charger, it stays at the Moto screen forever, charging.
[Atrix 4G General] CSharpHeaven:
When the phone is switched off and plugged to the wall charger you need to do a long press on the power switch till you will see the Motorola logo again. Once the phone is fully booted it will start charging again (still plugged to the wall charger of course).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mushinskyy:
Hey, so today I was riding the train back from work and its kind of insane on the signal part for the phone because it jumps through thousands of towers and internet is really crappy on my train line. Funny thing is I lost HSDPA signal and when I got off the train to an area I know I have reception in and got home it was still "stuck" with the upload arrow green, and refused to load pages. I turned it on and off (data connection) and it got back to normal. Shouldn't it do that automatically? is that a known bug or do I have a falty device? its brand new and this is the second time it has ever happened to me with it...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, it should go back automatically but since it was trying to hop so many towers it may have gotten confused and freezes. just reset it.

If it happens continuously then it maybe a issue but if happens the odd time I would not worry about.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mushinskyy:
Well it didn't happen until now and I've had the phone for over a week. Talked to a rep and she "refreshed" my connection and connected me to a different APN. I have also disabled "fast dormancy" (FD) which is an option that causes the phone to "pause" connections when nothing uses them which is only available on GS2 and some carriers don't support. My carrier doesn't. My thought is that this causes the device to keep its data connection dormant after trying to awake it. The upload arrow stays on implying that the phone is waiting for a response from the network which doesnt happen since it doesnt support FD which causes the connection to freeze. Reseting the connection fixes this. In any case, I've read in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132399 that the problem is solved by doing these two actions - changing APNs and disabling FD. If anyone else has an insight on this I'd love to hear it. I'll report here with tommorow's upcome.
