because Verizon really brought the "game changer" to apple. In all honesty it barely made a dent into its customer base. It moved a few more phones for Verizon/Apple. I honestly doubt that it will be the most amazing thing sprint will have gained, as much as apple hopes it to be. Not to mention ICS is around the corner, sprint has a dang good IP of android phones available and coming soon. Apple is just hitting that non innovating road block and we will see more and more kangs from android in there software and there bringing massive changes to the phone as we know it has already been done by bits and pieces from every manufacturer including itself. So tomorrows announcement will be just another day in the books filled with apple fanboism, upgraded hardware, a software update full of kang, and nothing more exciting then that.

Its all in retrospec to the user. I'm android. And will be always. Amen. nothing more thrilling to see a beautiful os, android. Not to mention it's source built roms like CM/MIUI. Apple gets?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jayavarman:
Hopefully, Sprint gets an exclusive on a Wimax-enabled iPhone 5 starting this month while the other carriers have to wait for an LTE-enabled iPhone 5 in early 2012.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
All I have to say is they better start putting some money into the network or I'm leaving for Verizon.
[HTC EVO 3D] butterbuns:
i really doubt there will be a wimax iphone.. Sprint wimax is dead in the water, they are focusing on their LTE comeing early next year.. They made a huge mistake with Clear for wimax and just signed a deal with LightSquared for their wimax.. So i dont see any reason they would still contine to make wimax phones for a network that has totaly stalled.

Android is the marketshare leader for phones. Apple doesnt sell alot, they just sell alot of one model. Android is about choices, You can buy cheap ones or nice ones. Apple makes you buy their newest, so of course they will dell more than any other phone model.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Does the mean iPhone sells a lot cause is only one phone? Mm well let ne tell you they do sell a lot it hasnt been one month the US top smartphone is iPhone 4 and the second one guess what ? IPhone 3GS, I sold my iphone last week and i hope sprint gets it cause I do not want to open another line to try it

Android phones activation are raising up sky high only cause metro pcs and cricket got them now and most phones are 200$ out of contract, so while a iPhone has top sales android sales like 40%-50% top android phones (SGS 2 , EVO 3d , Droid charged ,etc ) that can do what an iphone do (like video chat and play games without lag ) and the rest of it is because they just affordable phones

from my shooter rocking myns ROM :P
[HTC EVO 3D] rugedraw:
I don't. I'm one of the few people that use 4G, so the last thing I want is an influx of Sprint iPhone users hogging up my 4G bandwidth. I don't even want an influx of iPhone users hogging up my 3G bandwidth. Remember how ****ty Sprint's network got when the OG Evo started flying off of the shelves?

I agree with zone23: Invest in improving the network.....NOT in bogging it down by adding more users without increasing capacity.

My $0.02.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
+1

They're in a position to apply the necessary tweaks to fortify the network. It's just a matter of following through on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I heard that. I hate the network but love the price.

I guess the iPhone would be great for my wife. I definately need more.
[HTC EVO 3D] SPreston2001:
I think you meant to say your one of the few people who CAN use 4G lol. I would use it too if I could keep a stable connection lol. Sprint really took 2 steps backwards when they invested a ton of $$$ into Clear. Tisk tisk tisk....
[HTC EVO 3D] Nutzy:
Same here... 2 words... Droid Prime.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nutzy:
I have the unfortunate luck of living between 2 4G coverage areas.... key word is "between". Im out of range for each and Clearwire is never gonna extend coverage to take care of a 20 mile strip between towers..
[HTC EVO 3D] SPreston2001:
I live in the middle of a major city with 4G coverage and its spotty at best. Forget about using it indoors! I was really excited about 4G when I first got my original EVO 4G last year but it has been a major disappointment. I was hoping my 3VO would have a better 4G connection but its just as bad.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nutzy:
its worse. I still have my old Evo and my son uses it daily. Clearly the radio is weaker in the 3d.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clumsywob:
This is a major annoyance to me, but my Call Logs show incoming/outgoing texts as well. How do I have it only show my calls instead? I know this was done via ROM on the Captivate.

Also, is there anything in the works to get BLN working? I'm not sure why Samsung doesn't enable the bottom buttons for notifications from the start.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Samsung doesn't on any device.

As to anything "in the works" - we barely have custom kernels working. I still need to integrate codeworkx's initramfs fixes into my repo. Also, while I haven't had too much time to look in detail, on first inspection it looked like our touchkey hardware for the bottom buttons is identical to the Infuse. If that is the case, don't expect BLN any time soon. Developers far more capable than myself tried and were never able to get it working without causing random kernel panics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clumsywob:
Gotcha! I wasn't sure what all was involved. Thanks for the response. Any idea on the call log issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] co.ag.2005:
it's not an issue, it's what Samsung does. Some modders pull out text messages in that log on some custom roms, but on a stock rom, I don't think you can turn off the text messages from showing up in that list. it annoys me too, but the only way I can get rid of it is flash a rom where the dev removed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
We have the options to list dialed calls only and a few other selections. The problem is, it won't stay when you go way from it. :(
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
Nice battery, big screen.

Wondering if there will be lack of development because its not going to be able to use the international roms if I'm right?
[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
I would, if I didn't have to pay out the wazoo for it lol. Hardware-wise, it'll smoke the Sensation 4G, well, except for resolution! But, even with that, it has the SAMOLED+ screen which is probably much better than ours (even though ours is pretty good).
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
I might wait till I find someone who gets sick if it and wants to trade for MT sensation. Lol

U never know I may get lucky. The sooner the better
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
HTC build quality is much better, plus I'm an HTC loyalist. HTC phones always feel more solid and sturdy than the plasticky samsung phones. They're too light weight almost and feel like I could break them with my bear hands. I like the aluminum frame of the Sensation. I'm very happy with my sensation. SAMOLED screens are better in most cases, but I had a friend who owned a vibrant and that screen had an annoying blue tinge, as do most of the samoled screens I think. The screen I have has very pure whites and surprisingly dark blacks, and is fine in sunlight, especially compared to my old phone. I can read texts just fine in bright daylight, this screen is very bright. Plus the resolution is higher. I love the qHD screen.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I am day one....selling my sensation
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
The nice thing about the T-Mobile sgs2 is its not plastic. Its brushed aluminum from the looks of it which is just gorgeous.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
So the sgs2 is different than the sgs4g? I must be thinking of a different device. The sgs2 is the Samsung galaxy s two right?

Sent from my Sensation
[HTC Sensation] drumsforjs:
Ill be getting my s2 maybe trade my sensation on craigslist for one. There's always those people dam I wish ididnt get the s2.
[HTC Sensation] CrazyCharlie:
I'll be getting one but keeping the Sensation. I love that big screen and I'm not thrilled with HTC's build quality. Everything on my Sensation seems a little loose and shakey, but I'm curious to see what the dev's will do with it.
[HTC Sensation] :
Please elaborate how it would "smoke" the sensation hardware wise.
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
Sgs2 is Samsung galaxy uhh woops. Its sg2 lol.

The sgs4g was the virbrant plus flash and 4g. Single core.

Sg2 is dual core.

I like sense and I have feeling sense will only.get faster with upcoming roms but if it doesn't seem to get much better I'm definetly going sg2.

I'm not saying sense roms are slow now. They are really fast. Just not lightening fast.

[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
Why...

Are people on here so addicted to new tech that they will jump to another phone as soon as a new one comes out?

I got the phone I wanted on a 2yr contract knowing that in less than 6m it would be surpassed by something newer but not neccessarily better.

I like the Sensation and can't see me changing for the S2 espec as I would not be able to cover the cost of a sim-free version.

If I had wanted the S2 I would have got it and then lived with it for the life of my contract

The Sensation is not a perfect phone, but it's a darn good one (better than the iphone 3g) I came from.
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
I dont think the phone will be any faster than the sensation considering its not shipping with the exynos SOC/
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
So outta curiosity how truly good is cyanogenmod? Someone who really knows his stuff.

Cause I tried it on sensation just a bit ago and although yea it is quick it didn't blow me away. Went right back to sense.

Also deriving from what I mentikned up there I saw someone post something about a new nexus s being faster then cyanogenmod??

I mention this because one of my friends whose a girl and knows nkthig about phones had soooo much crap on the nexus s. It was the sprint version I believe. And with like three messaging apps all running, many different browsers, and seriusly a whole lotta crap the phone was sooooo fast.

I literally was stunned. It was stock and every single thing I did on it was instantaneous.

And u know when u see bunch of stuff in notification bar and u just kinda know it ll lag a bit. I felt that but was surprised with zero lag.

It sadly has me thinking...
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
I'm planning to sell my Sensation and buy the Galaxy S2 once it's released for T-Mobile USA!
[HTC Sensation] mike_ekim:
The Sensation has a higher resolution screen, and that hits performance because the phone has to push data to more pixels; also the Sensation and SG2 have similar processors (as you pointed out) but the Sensation runs at 1.2 MHz and the SG2 runs at 1.5 MHz.

ROMs aside, the SG2 is faster on paper.
[HTC Sensation] Darkmx2000:
I agree with you I have always like the HTC build quality but performance wise they have been lacking and the debacle the caused with the so called Bootloader unlock then say screw you no warranty was the icing on the cake. I came from a Evo 4g to the Sensation to the Epic 4G Touch resolution not a problem for me. the performance and smoothness of the OS what's going to appeal to the OS faithful that may come running seeing that Apple decided to give them nothing. this year basically all this hype and they got what would be a 3GS to the 4g lol.
[HTC Sensation] Darkmx2000:
I will give you that. I love HTC Sense as well but I believe that as of right now its to bloated and holding back what the processor is really capable of.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
well i got play with the Amaze a couple days ago and i can tell you for a fact that the processor is definately snappier in stock form , i was getting 2700 quadrant scores with it stock , now with that said i think the SGS2 will be alot faster running a more vanilla android, I am planning on getting a SGS2 and i cant believe im even saying that ,reason being is that the sensation is falling apart on me , the glass coverig my camera lens fell out and that wasnt a big deal to me until the rocker on the volume button fell off , now i dont know if flashing three thousand times already has something to do with it but im a little dissapointed by that. all being said i just want a bigger screen and thats the main reason plus it gets the better processor and front camera
[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
Not me

I wanted an SGS2 bad enough to almost buy one from overseas unlocked when they first hit the market. But since Samsung decided to release it here last, there are new phones coming out before the end of the year that by far surpass the SGS2. America is the largest consumer of High-end smart phones (yes, i researched it) mainly because we constantly upgrade to the newest and best. Samsung was stupid to release it here last. If someone gave me an SGS2 in trade i'd do it, but it's not worth sinking more cash into a new SGS2 when quad-core is literally right around the corner. Plus phones like the Sharp Aquas and the Note (can't remember which company is making it) will be out in a few months and they surpass the SGS2 in speed, display, screen size, etc. (and these aren't event quad-core as far as the specs ive seen, but still better than the SGS2).

Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I'll be waiting for a Quad-core device with Ice Cream Sandwich. Plus, the PS vita is quad-core and you can make calls from it :-) Better than PS3 graphics in the palm of my hand! Talk about a gaming device! hahahahah
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
+1 HTC loyalist. I've had 4 HTC phones & they've all lasted me years & withstood heavy damage & I've never had a single problem with them. Plus the SGS2 does feel "plasticy" and the back cover bends all the way.

Overall - I make love to my sensation everynight ;)

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
Yeah, I had an old mytouch slide (espresso), water damaged TWICE and it still didn't die until like 3 weeks after the second time, the ribbon cable (slider phone and all) just kinda got brittle and died. That thing was a beast. And personally, I don't like touchwiz. I think it's just kind of an apple wannabe and I like to have something more original than that. I do love sense 3.0, but I still found myself on cm7 because the speed and customization level of aosp based roms is just so appealing for me. I'm not going to complain about this phone, dual core 1.5 ghz processor, smooth graphics, really nice screen, no way I'm giving this thing up. It's got more power than my netbook does, which is just incredible. It's a huge upgrade from my last phone, and I'd rather spend the money in two years on a tri or quad core phone that fuses with my head and predicts my thoughts than spend that money now on a phone almost identical in power.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
Hey all, just a question regarding the flashing process of Samsung devices. As an HTC user for my past couple devices, we always flashed .zip files from recovery as a means of putting new roms/kernels/mods. From what I have read and understand to this point, is flashing a .tar file via Odin the equivalent of flashing .zips in recovery? If so, is one file simply easier to compile than the other?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Storm T:
Recovery is easier once you get it installed but you're going to have to flash CWM via Odin first and then you'll be good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adam_1204:
if you use a jig to git in to download mood thin plug your phone in to your computer thin use odin to flash your kernel and CWM thin you don't have to unlock your bootloader
[General Questions and Answers] eksigned:
First and foremost, these threads are incredible!

Secondly, I noticed that after doing the Android Revolution HD process (by mike) - my phone now says 3G as opposed to 4G. I did notice on the contrary that the phone does say "H" at the top when using bandwidth -- which I've been told is normal. Is the 3G there to..."conserve" battery...? Thank you in advance!

Thanks,

Eric

Hey I was hoping for some help. There was this app that I had a while back. When you would put your phone on silent or vibrate a window popped up with a reminder or timer so it would switch to loud setting automatically. Something like that... anyone ever have that app or something like it? Would love to find it... Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tweakedlogic:
I have a perfectly good Tilt2 running Energy ROM. But months ago I have upgraded. I tried to use my Tilt as a CarPC, but the screen was too hard to navigate while driving and I have been unable to figure a way to use the touch screen monitor as an input.

So now I'm building a real infotainment system. Got the PC, front end, and screen. But I was thinking that my neglected Tilt has GPS, constant connection to the internet, blue tooth, and accelerometer. Everything I want in my system except the compass and XM.

I was hoping someone figure out how to use the phone as a USB devise for all of these things. That way I could put it in the glove box on the dock.

the back end on the pc is windows, the front end is FreeICE (for now). I'm looking into Dash Command as well as a couple of other things.

You would be my personal hero if you can help me with this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
Just to help eliminate constant posts about international roms working on AT&T SGS2.

The International Roms usually include modems and kernels that do not support AT&T SGS2 capacitive buttons and modem. Once development is furthered I am sure we will see I9100 roms(International SGS2) on our AT&T SGS2. Until then please be patient.

hey guys how are you?, I would like your thoughts on this phone( if y'all don't mind) how easy is to root? what are the best roms available? you guys think it will be waste of money buying it?? all the feedback about this phone is welcome, (good and bad)... I am planing on the gifts I will be buying for x-mas , (I know a bit to early) and I was thinking buying this phone for my lil sis, she currently has the motorola flip which I got her last year, I am planning on spending $200 refurbished, out of contract, used in mint condition..I seen so many reviews but we all know that reviews are just eh, the best way is to ask an actual user,I am a sprint user so I don't know nothing about AT&T phones, well thank you guys, i am eager to hear your thoughts on this phone, and or should I consider getting a better one (more recent phone) thank you again!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If you are comfortable with HTC modding, then modding SGS is usually mind boggling (at least for most people). I find it much much better, but thats just me. Look at Build number since the newer ones have better GPS and don't suffer from sleep death.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Devs make this a great phone that is very fast with an amazing screen. There are many great custom ROMs here...

If it's a refurbed early model it might have fixed GPS (or not). GPS performance is a crap shoot in general...Otherwise, it's solid.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
For 200 bucks this phone is worth it. The roms are great and stable as well as good support incase something goes wrong with flashing or what not, and I think it will still be a good phone in a years time (if you are going on a yearly cycle with new phones for your sister).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white00gt:
pretty much as stated above the phone is a great phone with the exception of the gps , sometimes it works great other times , not so much- if you sister doesn't nee the phone for the gps it is def. a phone she will enjoy using especially with a custom ROM to cater to her likes- bottom line go for it im planning on getting one for my daughter
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm going to go ahead and list the issues I have with the Captivate off the top of my head and let you decide off that.

As has been stated previously the GPS is generally pretty crappy, but mine's actually been pretty good on the latest leaked firmware KI2.

The cache by default is only around 30M so if you want to download anything larger then that you'll have to flash a modded PIT file or fine some other means to give you a larger cache (see the Cache link in my sig).

Phones tend to have their own individualism so what works for me may not work as well for you

I wish you the best of luck with whatever phone you decide to go with.
