[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Saw both in store today.

The GS2 is significantly lighter than the Amaze. In that department, it's definitely easier to hold and use for longer periods.

The Amaze has the better camera hands down. It's not just the software, the optics is larger than the GS2.

I played with both in the store for about 20 minutes. I was literally torn.

I noticed with the GS2, that there would still be the occasional stutter. Do the "zoom out" function in the homescreen by using two finger pinch. When the cards are being displayed, you'll see the stutter. The GS2 screen is definitely very colorful, but I noticed some banding on the wallpaper. I'm not sure if this is due to the image, or due to the drivers, or due to the limitations of Android's color system. I didn't see this with the Amaze 4G. It might be the case that LCD hides these bandings better whereas the Super Amoled Plus screens just makes it more prominent.

The GS2 is not usable with a single hand. It is unlikely that the majority of users in the population will be able to reach the corner farthest away from their thumb comfortably without the phone slipping at some point or the other. This is something to keep in mind.

Lastly, know that the GS2's screen technology might have some issues. A family member of mine had the european GS2. Within 2 months there was a "burn-in" (Or rather, fading of a single LED color) due to always leaving a static image of the same color on the screen for prolonged periods. I don't know if they've resolved this in the T-Mobile version. I was just surprised that something like that happened on the European version within 2 months of use. Maybe in this regard, it might be wiser to go with the tried-and-true tested LCD tech.

Just my thoughts. I'm personally very impressed with the Amaze's camera (the Amaze's version of the panaromic shot vs the GS2's panaromic shot is not even a contest as the Amaze wins hands down) and the machined design of the phone. However, the lightness and color pop of the GS2 was also very appealing.

Right now, I can't make up a choice between the two so I'm probably just going to pass on them and wait on the Nexus Prime. I hate to pick a phone when I have two almost identical competing choices as I would have buyer's remorse. Lawl.

Good luck to all of you who pick one or the other. I just can't see anyone going too wrong with either.

Live in Phoenix so no 4G (how the hell the 6th biggest city in the country has no 4G is beyond me)... Worth the upgrade from an EVO or should I just wait for LTE to roll out next year (we better get it in Phoenix!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Sgs2 is definitely an upgrade over the EVO, but lte wont be rolled out till 2013 I think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
The resale value for the Epic Touch in 6 months is gonna be just fine.

If you really care that much about LTE but you want to upgrade just sell the phone when it comes to your area and buy whatever phone out right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] painkillaz:
From what I've read LTE phones/service will be available Summer 2012...that said if you are happy with your evo don't upgrade. It definitely is an upgrade over the Evo (I upgraded from the Evo4g) and if you have someone else's upgrade you can use (if you are on a family plan) and they don't mind if you use theirs then you can upgrade now And upgrade then. I used my dad's upgrade and gave him my Evo(He had a bb 8330 so he was more than happy)..so now I still have my upgrade and I got the SGII at upgrade price.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
The thing that will really make u mad is sprint already has lte in phoenix this was the test market......but you bet this phone is killer compared to the og evo and I had 3d too .... No comparison much better than either one

Go for the SGS2, its worth it, trust me!!! i jumped ship from EVO 4G, and i love it!!!!! LTE wont be out for a decent amount of time, and if you do the best buy buyback program, you can get a new phone in a year for the same amount as you would pay if you had a legit sprint upgrade, so jump to the SGS2, you wont regret it lol!!!!

Why don't, you just wait for 5g. Seriously, buy the epic touch, and when it comes time for your upgrade lte will be strong. Plus sprint is going to have some kicking deals to get people off wimax.

Upgrade. I live in ahwatukee with 3g only and this phone kicks major ass. I was a flash aholic with the evo 4g and the evo3d because they always needed some type of tweaking to work properly. The SGS2 works flawlessly right out of the box. Get it. It's 5 stars.

Sorry to tell you bro. Your still going to have to pay about 440 for a new phone in one year with the buy back. It would be true of sprint didnt get rid of their one year early upgrade.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
is it necessary to wipe sd-ext between rom flashes? realistically isn't it just a bunch of apps on sd, so wouldn't leaving them on there have the same effect as just restoring them with titanium?

just partitioned my sd to take advantage of the apps2sd built into miui so im brand new to this. also i didn't find anything useful by googleing this so any help is appreciated.

I'm running 1.9.30

Yesterday I was trying to find an app to play Justin.TV streams so I could get an NFL game that wasn't being played locally. I tried a few different apps...none of which really worked...Then my phone started acting weird and force closed everything. I restarted and uninstalled the few apps I had tried. Seemed to work fine the rest of the day yesterday. This morning I launched the amazon app store and the force closes started piling on again. This time, when I restarted, I get to the MIUI boot screen and it just hangs there.

Any ideas on how to resolve? How do I get to recovery for MIUI? 3-button isn't working.

I'm relatively new to all this, so the only idea I have is to get to download mode (I do have a jig), return to stock and reinstall MIUI. I'm not sure when my last titanium backup ran though...so it'd be better if I can get it up and running at least to do a backup and then reinstall if still necessary.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
If you are having that many fc's, its best to reflash. Also, after you get to stock, but before you flash MIUI again, I would flash the I897 GB bootloaders to fix your 3 button problem.

Can someone please confirm?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
confirmed :)
[HTC EVO 3D] hottubtimemachine:
the reason why there is lag is because your system switches the governor back to userspace after a while... don't know what triggers this, just know that it happens. i have performed this same modification on my phone numerous times and with no success. the phone is smoother managing itself.

i was actually going to ask freeza if he knows of a way to permanently set both cores to ondemand, and permanently have cpu1 online...

that would make it fast. it will stick momentarily, but as soon as that governor is switched back to userspace, you will see lag and a huge performance drop.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

or maybe i misunderstood the post... and maybe freeze can help me understand here...

so you are saying the lag comes from both cores running at high frequencies? and that if you throttle down the second core, but always have it running, it will improve performance without the lag?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I've set my scaling_governor to read-only and so far "ondemand" has stuck since boot yesterday.

I guess half... how bad would battery life be at full?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
TBH it would probably be around the same. The second core has the ability to run at full speed normally, it just goes 'offline' when it doesn't need to be used. This method keeps it online, so when it doesn't need to be 'used', instead of going offline, it will just idle at 192MHz/384MHz(default) :)

[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
CPU tuner has a bug that makes it jump to the max, However, unless you specifically enable the second core, it should only effect the first.
[HTC EVO 3D] neopolotin75:
Both cores would shoot to their max. So should I use CPU master to adjust the first core or would I not really need it if the first core is set to stock speed and the 2nd is ondemand at 584?

You don't need any software if the first core is set to stock speeds. But, yeah, I would suggest CPU Master if you are over/underclocking.

[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
There are two flashables in this thread. However, they're for ROMs that parse the init.post_boot.sh script in /system/etc/. If your ROM doesn't have this file, you will have to use /system/etc/init.d script. I can create one for you if you tell me the options:

-speed of second core in relation to what's available on your kernel

-up threshold of the CPU (this effects both core0 and core1)

-minimum frequency (speed) of second core.

Keep in mind that using SetCPU with this will nullify the hack.
