Not quite!

Samsung Galaxy S2 lacks 4.5" screen and sound quality is poor (via headphones). I don't know how dual core will help you in that matter unless you want to brag about it. Samsung went with a different vendor for sound chips and messed up. Also, once you use 4.5" it is very difficult to revert back to 4.27", huge difference.

Infuse has a terrible GPS chip, so if GPS is crucial to you, go with GS2. I'm hearing that Samsung has started fixing the GPS in the refurb units, I think later build Infuse will have better GPS. Also, Infuse lacks GB stock ROM, but will get it eventually.

Performance wise, after loading up 50-60 apps, 16GB SD card with music and videos, I really did not see 'noticeable' performance gains with Galaxy S2; perhaps, the OS is not optimized for dual-core. From this stand-point, GS2 might be a safer bet and more future-proof. But then, I have to carry my IPod with me for audio quality. Likewise, I have to carry a GPS with Infuse.

Paper specs aside, I think if you rely on GPS a lot, GS2 is a no-brainer. If you want a powerful multimedia device, Infuse is a clear winner. Just that you need to decide if you want to carry an iPod with you or a GPS, in addition to your Android phones. HTC phones are great but lack AMOLED screen and thin form factor.

Exactly why I will never buy apple again. They Sue Samsung over likeness but the centered (square) home and overall look of the galaxy s were already used by Samsung in 2006 on the f700 while the iPhone came out in 2007. They use Samsung parts and copy Samsung technology. All at the same time LG has an almost identical ui to Samsung and also has a phone all black with chrome bezel and rounded corners but doesn't get sued. Now Motorola has a 4icon dock as well and the home screen icons move for you when you put objects on the home screen and they are yet to get sued. The only "feature" left that Samsung has and other android phones don't is that the app drawer has configurable icon that gravitate to the left and a page type horizontal scrolling (actually I think Sony has this now) but this has more to do with the likeness to books and what is just plain logical than copying IMHO. this is in the drawer not the home screen and the method to initiate the editing is different.

It is clear the lawsuits have more to do with the success of the galaxy s internationally than anything else. As if to say how dare you use better hardware than we bought from you! Not to mention apple has been the kings of kanging since day one. The form of every apple product for years has been inspired buy radio and televisions from Braun. There os that brought them mainstream is just free bsd. Apple makes a decent product riding off the orriginal ideas of other and sues over it what a bunch of under handed scumbags! They think because the idea which isn't there brought them success that it is there trade mark and are entitled to have exclusive rights to it. I hope they Sue Google when ics drops with a 4 icon dock and Google with samsung sue them into bankruptcy I mean no one knows Samsung is during for 20+ patent infringements in mobile technology. The average person is more likely to know that the sgs looms kinda like an iPhone to someone who has never used an iPhone.

i run infused 1.6 and have never ever ever had gps issues like others talk about. i get 11 sat locks within 5-10 seconds when sitting in my house.

@sumeet909 Who told you sound quality it's worst with the new Yamaha chip. From my understanding all supercurio said that he's has no documentation to inject the voodoo sound or he can't or whatever the case might be but not that the sound it's worst or better. My SGSII sound super good. Also never had GPS problems on the Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
he also complained about popping when using the eq and volume and that any fix for that would have to come from samsung or yamaha and that it might be a defficientcy in the actual chip. but the playback is probably quite good when you aren't tweaking the eq constantly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumeet909:
So I had sold my Infuse before getting GS2, but I was always curious to verify this for myself (and I'm trying to buy another Infuse now, I notice people saying that GPS works better on custom ROMs, but I never tried those); therefore, got my buddy's Infuse hooked it up with Bose headphones and did a side by side. Lows might be unnoticeable, but mids and highs are definitely better on the Infuse. SD card of GS2 was slower, to rule that out, we swapped cards to be sure that wasn't a factor. I also have a Nokia 5530; interestingly, that was the best of the 3, but only a tad better than Infuse, but GS2 was noticeably poor. He even held the phones behind my back and didn't tell me which one was plugged and I could pick GS2. Radio streaming was indistinguishable though (iHeartRadio).

iPhone 4s was outdated the moment it was announced... Very disappointed in Crapple...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] spiritcrusher33:
but yet they still sell. lol wife has a 3gs.. and wants a 4s now. so guess im gonna have to buy her one for xmas.. pretty soon all iphones sold will be bought by women.. thats my prediction..

Im sticking with my infuse. and dell streak. my perfect combo for my needs.. cant comment on the gps. cause to be perfectly honest, I rarely go anywhere that i havent been before, lol but everything else even stock is rock solid on the infuse,

I dont care right now for dualcore blah blah.. had that on my atrix. while it was fast.. for my needs the infuse with its nice big screen does the same but looks better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] youngcity:
Infuse is great cant go for 4.5 inch screen to 3.5 bigger is better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
I still dont understand how people think Apple created Siri. It was out waaaay before iPhone 4. I had the app on my iphone 3G just after I had gotten it. The company who made the app was purchased by apple I believe and that is why its in the iphone 4s.

To be honest whenever I used the app it was kinda cool. Didnt work well in noisy areas-- but then again i believe the new iphone has dual mics now? so its probably a little better. But the app itself was really not very useful for much. I found it was faster to just type than to battle with the speech recognition. Plus I always sounded stupid in a crowded area constantly shouting, "MOOOVEEE TIIIMMEESSS!" It really is just a novelty, but I swear apple is going to sit on it and try to milk the iphone 4 design until they can manufacture theyre own 4+" 1080p retina. Something stupidly ridiculous like that. They are also spending a **** ton of cash on the new hq. So its obvious theyre not going to spend time on new releases right now. at least till the new place gets built.

ANyhow its so funny that people think Siri is new. The app is still available on the internet. Just have to find the file. I lol everytime someone refers to apple creating this app. Besides my infuse does really all the basic things you need a speech recognition software to do. Old news. Apple is just catching up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] uberamd:
Apple is copying Android with Siri? Really?

Siri was a company that was founded in 2008 as a startup that was going into voice recognition. Apple didn't copy anyone. Instead, they acquired Siri and integrated their application into the operating system. I'm sitting here with my Infuse 4G and the voice software on here is absolute trash.

Have you watched the real-world videos that show Siri in action? No, not the Apple promotional videos, I'm talking about the real world videos? Siri is nothing short of extraordinary. The way it is able to filter out the "um"s and "uh"s from a command. The way it is able to actually interpret what you are trying to do is beyond cool.

As much of an Android fanboy as you (and most others here) may be, to say Siri integration isn't a great advancement in mobile operating systems shows pure bias.

Apple didn't copy Android with Siri. The level of comprehension and integration Siri has is beyond anything that is part of the Android OS.

Moreover, the iPhone 4S will still outsell any individual Android device on the market. To say Apple is failing is pure stupidity, they are doing just fine. Apple users don't care about specs, they care about user friendliness and that is where the iPhone delivers. Not everyone wants a 4.5" display.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
Sad but true. Apple has the ability right now to let the Iphone 4 design linger for a bit. I always thought that their update cycle was just ridiculously short. You can never enjoy their product long enough. Apple seems to have realized that no matter how long people wait-the demand is just overwhelming for their products. So they will let it sit for a while so they can collect those bonus profits off the device. And as I stated before they did just lose their founder and creator, on top of building the new hq in cupertino. So I wouldnt be surprised to see a 4" 720p-1080p retina on a quad-core chip with 1-2gb of ram next year. All while using purely cloud storage to save space on the device internals. prob wont be the thinnest, but as is always stated about apple products- it will outsell everything else.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] houstonsveryown:
Bravo! Someone with some sense!!! Yes specs aren't everything! 4.5 screen dual core quad core 1ghz this 2ghz that. That doesn't make your phone the best. Its all about the people and People like devices that are easier to use. I love Android dont get me wrong but apple is a great product. Dont see why it's so much hate.

my brand new touchpad always shows that i have only 1.7 GB free out of 32 GB.............btw the touchpad is brand new out of the box with nothing installed on it

Edit:- I ran touchdroid build once then removed it. Don't know if that created the issue
[TouchPad General] theusername:
Thats strange, Try doing a reset on it. If that doesnt work I bet doing a WebOS doctor will fix it for you. Let me know if you need the links and the steps on how to do it.
[TouchPad General] mansisingh:
already tried doing it twice
[TouchPad General] theusername:
Sounds like faulty hardware if the WebOS Doctor didn't fix it. Give HP a call, should be under warranty still.
[TouchPad General] mansisingh:
i guess it happened because my friend installed touchdroid build of android and resized the partitions
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Since when does "the touchpad is brand new out of the box with nothing installed on it" mean that touchdroid is installed with partitions?
[TouchPad General] mansisingh:
did ran touchdroid once then removed it using the instructions...........nothing installed means no webos apps are installed and i ran webos doctor after removing the touchdroid build
[TouchPad General] cajunflavoredbob:
Yea, but you still need to unformat those extra partitions. Doctor doesn't format those partitions for you. In the future, if you give us all of this info up front, we'll be able to get you the answer more quickly.

My previous post was to illustrate how you didn't give us this info to begin with since you said it was brand new out of the box with nothing installed. This gives us the impression that you unwrapped it, powered it on, went into the settings menu, and noticed the discrepancy. Just be more detailed in the future is all.
[TouchPad General] akedz:
anyone have an answer to this. i´ve searched plenty, but i only found the instructions to remove it.

What's the best/safest rooting method?

What's your current favorite rom?

Do you have to reactivate your phone every time a new ROM is flashed (Verizon)?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT - rooted by follow the CM wiki using adb. I can't boot into clockwork right now, it just goes to regular. It was flashed using ROM manager.
[Fascinate General] mkuehl06:
Easiest rooting method I've found is Odin a custom rom that's already rooted. I like PWGB or tsmpoolparty. Using poolparty right now. I returned phone to stock. Download rom. Odin cwr (clockwork recovery) and flash it. If you go with PWGB you don't have to flash in cwr. For most others you do.

You can find the pwgb in the android dev section, it's a pure Odin file.
[Fascinate General] FDro:
Go with the pwgb odin file, its a one file deal (+cwm)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krack73:
Hello. Did you try it this way?

How to flash:

Don't use ROM Manager! Flash ROM following the steps below:

* Download ROM and place it on your SD card

* Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)

* Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)

* In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

* Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script

* Once again select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM

* After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plipness:
sir i think you need to check the md5 check sum of the file that you are trying to flash

or

try to flash the 1gHz patch for the proccessor
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHamPimp:
I have this same problem. Used Ace to root, installed Revolution HD per the instructions, but now it just sits at the white screen with green 'HTC', until I remove the battery.

I can get into recovery, and here are my settings:

Ace PVT Ship S-Off

HBOOT-0.85.0024

MICROP-0438

eMMC-boot

APR 12 2011,00:55:45

I could flash something else and give it a whirl, but I kinda wanted to try this out. Is it due to my older hboot?

thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glend31:
I had the same problem earlier this week and as post #4 quite rightly has stated. You need to use Super Wipe first.

I thought I had read everything a few times and watched the you tube clip but it doesn't tell you about Super Wipe on the clip.

It does however tell you on the 'How to Flash' section. :o

[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
Back to the topic at hand even though I don't like the iPhone I can say, however, from a consumer's standpoint the iPhone 4S is a major disappointment. Everyone was hoping for something new and innovative that would have put Android on edge under the banner iPhone 5 and instead what we got was basically a marginal upgrade to the iPhone 4. There's no WiMAX or LTE 4G setup because they moved to the "World Phone" design probably to reduce manufacturing costs and instead gave their 3G radio a minor update that ups its speed from 7mbps to 14mbps which is also disappointing since its competition has been pushing 21+mbps HSPA+ 3G all this year. Other then that it got a new iOS upgrade which comes as no surprise and a dual core version of the iPhone 4's CPU. Beyond that there's no change which makes it seem like under Apple's new leadership this past year (remember Jobs left someone else in charge while he focused on his health this past year) has shifted most of the R&D's funding to the Legal department to promote their current anti-competitive legal campaign.
