[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MartyLK:
Very true. I remember things in the past where iPod/iPhone users were outraged over some feature or aspect of the hardware and caused Apple to provide compensation of some form. Apple will do this. I have experienced that other companies tend to ignore the outcries of their customers. Sony comes to mind.

But if Siri is the technological revolution it is appearing to be, I will enjoy Velcro'ing my iPhone to the dash of my car and going down the road carrying on search and navigation conversations with it. If what is being said is true, a person can speak in a normal tone as though talking to another person and Siri will recognize it and reciprocate.

But...lets wait and see. I find it hard to believe such tech can actually work as well as what is being described.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Product F(RED):
Siri was an app on the App Store. Apple bought it from the developers, and now people who paid for it can't use it because it won't connect to the original dev's servers. It doesn't REQUIRE a dual-core processor if it was able to run on original iPhone 4 (and possibly lower) hardware.

The iPhone feels expensive, I get that. And people like it when things come with a phone out of the box (ie iBooks), but this is just a move to play catch up with Android.

Notification Center - Android.

Widgets - Android.

iMessages - BBM from RIM's Blackberry

Camera from Lockscreen - WP7

Volume buttons to zoom - Used to be an app that was banned from the App Store/non-HTC Android phones do this.

Dual-Core Processor - Android, 6 months ago
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MartyLK:
Yeah, maybe so. Are you saying Apple should not try to "catch up" with the competition?

There's no doubt that Android is better than iOS and that Apple needed to greatly improve its features. Everybody knows that. But the whole point of competing is so companies can stay in business and customer benefit with it. Competition causes companies to improve. That is exactly what Apple is doing. Why be angry with Apple because they are improving?

The non-biased person wants all these companies to survive and succeed because it benefits us. The non-biased person would not be angry with a company that is making efforts to improve.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Product F(RED):
I never said I was angry at them...

What I don't appreciate is them playing it off as if they came up with all of these features themselves. Because I know what reaction I'm going to get from my iPhone-toting friends when they see me swipe the notification bar down to see what text I got or call I missed, or when I add a widget to my screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgalan14:
Well I know what you mean, but you know who came up with it so you should be fine, I mean after all everyone try to catch up to iPhone from the touchscreen to the apps and the only mobile OS what's android, now is time for manucfatures to make it right from build to looks , I like the sgs 2 but I hate the cheap plastic feeling , my old MOTO flip phone felt better in the hand or HTC with the lcd screen , and yes I have own both brands , can't say anything about MOTO besides the pentile screen

RIP Steve Jobs, Revolutionary Technology the changed the way we see it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntonJart:
My iPhone loving friends now say that they don't care who copied who, and that all the copied features will work better on iPhone.

Before they used to crap on Android, and said that it copied iOS :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MartyLK:
A very wise man once told me...in my late teens...that when you allow others to anger you, you are allowing them to have control over you. That they can control your emotions and feelings. To maintain the emotional state you want ...respond politely and peacefully... is them not controlling you.

It's hard to not allow people to control our feelings, I know from a lifetime of struggling with it. But it is possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DPMAce:
good advice!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntonJart:
You are totally right!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] greenish2011:

Samsung galaxy S II Is amazing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nrvnqsrxk:
I think this debate is rather pointless. Some people prefer the simplicity and robustness of iOS, others like optimizing and customizing their phone for their own uses. It basically boils down to a conflict of ideals which will never reconcile due to preferential differences. We can argue about specs, but the differences are so marginal that it's probably more a waste of time. Just sayin'.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] prozacdefraud5926:
iPhone is a good phone but for games. I was thinkin' about iP4 but:

-horrible price

-no SD slot

-no Flash

Android is better platform that iOS bcoz it's legal to modificate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntonJart:
What you talking about? They already pre-sold 1 million of iPhone 4S.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Wudek:
I have decided for HTC Desire S.

PROS: size, size, exchangable battery, design, sd card

Main alternative was Iphone - CONS: no battery replacement, no sd card slot

Other one was SG II - but for me is too big and the fact it is thinner than Desire S and Iphone changes nothing for me ...

Maybe Iphone 5 (depends when and if will be launched ...)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rush_progr:
I prefer the SGS2 or the Optimus 2X, much better than iPhone =) and of course, inside android :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] boxrick:
I was looking forwards to the "new" iphone being something more exciting.. currently using a SGS2 hopefully the Nexus Prime will be something great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] X3FBrian:
I have a few Apple (nerd) friends and they are like "You never use your 3d camera!" Ughh...those guys are the first to point out something about another phone defending their phone. Pretty bad, I just tell them I underclocked my phone to still outperform their phone in every aspect.

But the S2 doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wendellc:
IPhone 4 is too freaking boring, 3.5" screens is for sissy's. We met with my wife's cousins last night and they all use iPhone 4. After speaking with them, I found out they were clueless about phones and have an iPhone just because. When my wife busted out her HTC Sensation they were embarrassed because her phone has a big 4.3" screen , her cousin says" what phone is that, that's a huge ass screen! "
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Meilannu:
I don't know how anyone can justify a 3.5" screen......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MartyLK:
Apple justifies it with the one-handed principal. 3.5" is just large enough to still allow a person to reach all points of the screen with one hand. However, I have no trouble reaching the whole screen of my 4" Focus. I begin to have trouble reaching the whole screen with my 4.3" Inspire. But other people may have issues, depending on the size of a person's hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tehgyb:
Is the SGSII better? Yes.

Why? iPhone 4s is just the 4 with an ipad chipset, slightly better radio and Siri.

Is the iPhone 4s going to outsell the SGSII? Simply yes.

Why? Uneducated consumers who do no research, and also branding.

I work in a mobile sales center... Real quote here guys:

"Oh, LG makes iPhones now!?"

*Facepalmed SO hard*

Most less tech-saavy customers don't know the difference, they just know the name.

Not saying the iPhone is crap. Its actually a good phone, but IMO its outdated, and even adding a dual core didn't fix that. Just not my flavor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ferrari353:
I love how all those Apple fanboys are raving over Siri (HOMG It's like so amazing like omg like how awesome), yet why is nobody mentioning that Android has had voice commands for years now...They had the genius button on the Mytouch...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] galaxys:
Iphonie is just fad for those who are controlled by big brother. HTC/XDA/Android rock & express freedom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Meilannu:
Never thought about the hand issue. Good point. But having a larger screen was more important than typing with one hand. Even thought I am typing this with one hand. My I4 is boxed up and heading to my stepdaughter in the morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tritran18518:
For me, this kind of topic is meaningless. Each persons use their phone in different ways, for different purpose. I like to surfing web, install roms, like usb-connection function, flash video.... so iphone never be my phone( unless apple change their OS ^^.) But my brother, he likes to use polish-beautiful design app. He doesn't like install roms or anything familiar to that. He don't care whether he can watch flash videos or not. So android doesn't fit to him. What you like is always the best only for you, not for other. :D So you don't have to force other people like what you like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MartyLK:
Well, considering the iPhone is so widespread...among insanely powerful and rich people as well as peons like me, driving down the road trying to manipulate the screen can be a hit or miss experience...literally...lol

But I figure if some senator's daughter crashed because she had to take both hands off the steering wheel to desperately reply to a tweet from her boyfriend, the senator might decide Apple is at fault...arbitrarily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Meilannu:
LOL...Another good point. Maybe they will learn how to use Siri and problem solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] raosid:
Which performs better in games?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] King Shady:
iPhone 4S. It has a dual-core GPU, which is more powerful than the Mali 400. However, the Galaxy S II has a faster processor (running at 1.2 ghz -1.6 ghz, depending if your overclocked or not). The 4S's clock speed will probably be 850mhz or 900mhz per core, because Apple underclocks to preserve battery life. The iPhone 4 ran at 850 mhz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Wudek:

Mm that's base on the iphone 4 right? Anyways i still got my SGS 2 and i can't believe there coming with the same phone an HD screen?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] porcupineli:
Nexus Prime will kick iPhone4S and SGS2 in the guts! I really hope to get it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] YoMarK:
Except maybe the screen(and only if you hate the small size and favor AMOLED) , spec wise the iPhone 4S is way ahead of the Galaxy S2. In theory the 4S will be able to show better image quality with higher framerate, because of the faster GPU. People should get the facts straight in this thread.

But I don't like iOS, so I'm going with the S2 or the prime.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MartyLK:
Wow! This is cool! My iPhone 4 with iOS5 will beat the SGS2 in the Javascript benchmark. Outstanding!

The current top leader is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. Right below it is the iPhone 4S. Right below that is the iPhone 4 w/iOS5

Happy days!

Wow omg no way!?!? Anyways, the 4S is a great phone, whether you like iPhones or not, but I cant go back to the 3.5inch screen. Love this 4.3 inch beast (soon to be replaced by a Nexus Prime)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Remix2011:
Lol so the Iphone 3GS with IOS5 is almost as fast as Iphone4....

This is obviouslly because IOS5 is optimized for dual core,just wait until Ice Cream launches and then make a comparisation since ICS is made for dual core optimization.

Opps looks like the benchmark result posted by Anandtech were falsifield or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ph00ny:
you do understand that java script performance depends heavily on the browser right? iOS5's new webkit browser is obviously better optimized than the gingerbread. Look at the score jumps on other iOS devices that were run on iOS4.

I guess you only see what you want to see.

Also there is a noticeable difference between spiderbench .9 and .91 (some of the initial graphs from anandtech were mixture of both)

SGSII with non-stock browser such as firefox or opera will hit mid 1k numbers in spiderbench

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

They had a mixture of version .9 and .91 results. .91 nets better results than .9 and 4s was run on .91 and numbers were pulled from previous results for other devices
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bleach168:
Yup, but it's too late to correct the mistake. The iPhone fanboys have already gotten it into their head that the 4S is miles better than anything out there and are running with it even though it's FUD.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Remix2011:
Well looks like the SGS2 is the fastest going by that benchmark.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zekepliskin:
As I just posted elsewhere, iPhone vs Android is the new Mac vs PC. Nobody wins debating it, but many (including myself) still tend to pour hours into it.

The iPhones have had, and probably will always have, superior software/hardware integration because of the walled garden approach, leading to stability, great performance and very few bugs. The downside of that is developing apps and getting them out can be a nightmare, plus you are forced into a certain way of using the device - pretty much the same for all their products really.

Depends what you want: the ability to have a very open OS with a lot of configurability but often slow/buggy performance, or a closed one which is more efficient.

I have an Android device because it's cheaper, but trust me, if I had the money I'd upgrade to iPhone 4S in a heartbeat. I have enough devices where I have to grapple with small bugs, weird issues with drivers, seemingly random crashes etc, and as much as I dislike iTunes I'd be willing to deal with that for less headaches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Meilannu:

I have my nook color 1.3 rooted using the new "two MN" process. I have everything working as far as market, amazon app store, etc. However I can not seem to install apps from the barnes and noble app store.

The app downloads and starts to install but errors out with a message stating not enough free space. I do not think this message is valid as I know there is plenty of space on the NC.

I have tried on two different NCs I own and the same message is returned.

The only thing I can think of is that the default associated APK loader is not the nooks app loader.

Has anyone else run into this on 1.3?

hello all,

so i am slightly annoyed, that theres no mango yet, i am hoping ypu people can help me, get rid of this horrible t-mob germany firmware.

unlocked (three uk sim atm) (i am in uk)

i just want mango, i dont care how i get it----im pretty pc knowledgeable, so just fire it at me.
[Omnia 7 General] switchblade920:
It's been mentioned a few times already, but the Mango update may take a while to reach all devices.

There's a list of downloadable firmwares in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131891

And there's a guide somewhere on the site on how to flash your device. I highly suggest the JL3 firmware, as that's the one I used to debrand my T-Mobile Germany Omnia 7. After that, it's just a matter of updating it back to NoDo and then waiting for Mango to hit your device. If it doesn't come through immediately, you can always force the update (again, there's a guide around here somewhere).

Word of warning, flashing that firmware will wipe everything on your phone. Stuff that's stored in the cloud is easily sorted, but any music, videos, etc. will disappear.

I am in the same boat with you. I could not update from Nodo with WIFI trick. At last, I downloaded KH2 firmware from Samsung mobile and flashed my phone. My Omnia now is the running mango fantastically!
