By the way, anyone know if/when Nexus Prime is coming to AT&T? Wondering if I should wait on that or just jump on the SGSII.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nytvd:
GPS lock speed is incredible on the S2, can also get a lock in a moving car/train - something the Captivate had a hard time doing.

This is a huge step up from Captivate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Well I was SO ATTACHED to my Cappy also and why I first upgraded my wife to it then got a second Cappy just so I could mess with them more. I sold one of my cappys on the Saturday before launch of the SGS2 for $160 and on the 4th I took that $160 and used it toward the $149 price ($164+ after tax) so basically my SGS2 was free. I never thought my Cappy had any lag ever and really it doesn't, BUT once I started running my SGS2 and occasionally picking up my Cappy to update cm7 I see that it feels slow. It is AMAZING how fast the SGS2 is. Plus I STILL have one Cappy to test even further once the unbrickable mod running the nexus s firmware is ready I will run ICS on it also. But my SGS2 battery life is so good and so fast I barely use my Cappy. Samsung got it right with the touchwiz though I still wanted to go back to cm7 on it. I just like the customizations too much. And it is SO EASY to go back to stock anyways.

Would you guys go for the nexus prime or stay with the sgs2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Personally, if the Nexus Prime comes out before November 2nd, I'm upgrading. Or trading in, rather. I can't imagine the Prime being much more than $200, so I'd gladly pay the difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garrisj:
I feel same way. I'll return my s2 and wait for the Prime if it is announced for att this year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
Isn't the Nexus Prime supposed to be a Verizon exclusive at the start? I don't think it's supposed to come to AT&T for quite a while, if at all.

AT&T gets SGSII, Verizon gets Nexus Prime.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
Yep! It is a Verizon exclusive. I wouldn't expect it available on other networks anytime soon. Since I'm already on a SGSII the jump to the Nexus Prime is not that big so I'll stay with my SGSII - it is, after all, a truly incredible phone. Captivate to SGSII was a "well worth it" jump, SGSII to Nexus Prime not so much. I'd only go through the hassle if it's worth the aggravation and time. For me it's not. Not even close.

[HTC Sensation] anthrax132:
Hi,

I have a little question;

The only thing that keeps me using a non sense based rom is the Locations application (for which i bought a license).

Is there a way to use it on a non sense rom, like CM?

I tried restoring the app by Titanium Backup (failed to restore) and by pushing the apk's manually (but application is not listed).

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It's needs Sense, simple as that
[HTC Sensation] anthrax132:
Erf, that's what i feared.

Guess i'll stick to sense roms quite a little more so ;)

Thnaks for the answer.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:
What is your opinions on these as far as making a difference in speed or perdoemance? I've had one dor a say or so and it removes 10-25 mg of stuff but not sure on their value. Any thoughts?
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
On a device such as ours with **** tons of memory, it really isn't gonna make a noticable difference unless you have like months worth of it.

Thanks for da reply bro!
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
It does its duty. It doesn't matter if it doesn't give you a noticeable difference. It matters that it keeps your phone free of junk.

Cache cleaner NG works good. Espescially since it cleans my cache every twelve hours.

Good info fellas! I've used them in the past and was always on the fence about them. Off to the market.

I wish I could thank myself... I think I'm clever.
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
I use an app called "SuperBox Pro" that does EVERYTHING, (cache cleans, memory optimization, installs "rogue" apks off SD, has a taskkiller,... yadayada, and it's always worked well for me. I think I got the Pro version as a free Amazon app dealio, but the free version worked well also.

(BTW, I'm NOT trying to 'pimp' any "paid" apps, contrary to some of my recent posts, guys).

<<work in progress>>
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Keep in mind that cache files are built up as needed and can actually help performance to an extent I believe. Unless you notice things bogging down and then see a difference after deleting the cache, then it's pointless to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikebz5:
I never thought much about clearing caches until recently. I started experiencing multiple random reboots and couldn't figure out what was going on.

I Ran apps2sd cache cleaner and there was 800mb if junk cached.

Haven't had a reboot in 5 days now. I was having at least 5 a day.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XRCIST:
Hi Guys,

I work at location just outside of signal reception, therefore while I'm at work for 12 hours my phone hunts for reception and uses more power than it should.

I'm looking for a time based profile app that I can set and it will switch to flight mode at a certain time and then switch off flight mode at a predefined time and maybe even use it at night while in bed sleeping.

Anyone have any recommendations for the best one to go with?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, if it is you can all take an open shot at me.

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pr621:
I'm actually really interested in an app like that too, most of my classes are in the basement of my school and it's kind of a pain to switch into airplane mode everytime I go to one of the said classes, and if I forget my phone easily eats through 20% of my battery...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XRCIST:
This is the closest I have found:

https://market.android.com/details?id=be1ay.flymode&feature=related_apps

but maybe the ability to set more than one profile would be good so you don't have to go in and change the settings, plus one that boots with the phone?
[General Questions and Answers] krzych:
[edit] This thread seems to be forgotten or unneeded. Last update. [/edit]

Hi. I've found no thread about this topic usable to me, so I want to create one.

I have already a bunch of apps for certain purposes. I would like to ask you all which apps could be

better

for same purposes or which apps could do

different

things in the same topic those apps do. If this thread will grow, i will maintain the first post to "rate" some propositions with short descriptions of cons and pros.

Of course, I prefer free apps. Only circumstance where paid can exist is lack of free ones. Where free exists, there is no place for paid ones until it offers great kick to functionality.

1. GPS navigation/toold/positioning

- [PAID] Sygic. Not free, but usable trial, as far seems to be best offline. I see no other choices free, and paid ones I've seen are just worse than Sygic.

- LifeLogger

- GPS Logger

- Open GPS Tracker

2. Drive loggers/recorders/blackboxes etc.

- Autoboy Blackbox, best so far

- CarEyes, good but crashes time to time (not often), mostly when phone rings - only one that is completely free

- DailyRoads Voyager, usable

3. Photography

- Original HTC camera app. I see no point to install anything more maybe not mentioning panorama - I would like to install just one app which does it, but saw nothing good and stable yet.

- 3D Gallery (Gallery++)

4. Video

- Same as above, HTC. Any propositions? (here and above I mean

usable

features, no fancy needs if you ask me like stupid filters or so)

5. Music/Sound

- Same as above, HTC.

- Need good quality recorder (both mp3 AND wav) with silence detections capable of recording whole day for example (DHD connected to power source)

- Need voice bookreader, not audiobook reader but reader of PDFs for example using voice synthesis like Ivona (must be unintrusive - original google shipped voice synthesis is a crap and lacks other languages)

6. File managers

- Total Commander

- Midnight Commander

- Astro File Manager

7. Backup

- Titanium Backup

- MyBackup Root

Both has bugs. Both cannot solve rom differences while exporting/importing phonebook and call hostory (titanium does not correctly do anything at all between Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5, and mybackup does not do the call history).

8. Remote

- Avast as a firewall

- DroidWall waiting "in case"

- SSHDroid (the only choice?)

- Network Discovery

- Overlook Fing (actual name: Fing - Network Tools by Overlook), Overlook Whiz

- [BETA but working stable] Droid VNC Server

9. App management

- Android Market REPLACEMENT - AM is sh*tty app. Crashes, unreadable (no option to change font size or so, I want to save my eyes), has only basic filters on searches, etc. Someone should use the api and write stable and flexible one which can download apps too from market (local management isn't enough! - plenty of apps here)

10. Task managers

- System tuner

- Elixir

11. Battery guards/monitors

- System tuner

12. Call

- Call Recorder (only available for DHD recording from line directly)

- Sanity

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul1508:
I'm looking for some guide to use MUIU perfectly on my Desire. (PVT4, S-OFF, Root)

Actually I am using MIUI 1.8.19 (some german translation) which is not OTA update-able.

I'd like to use some OTA update-able MIUI next time, say the english from here.

Radio is: 5.11.05.27 --> i have to update it via fastboot? Is therefore any guide?

Next is A2SD+ -->? Any guide therefore? I only find post from people who have problems with it, but no real guide?

RIL? Do I need a RIL to flash or is there the best with the MIUI Rom?

Thank you for you help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You don't need to touch radio.

Miui xj has dark tremor a2sd+ built in. This has a command line interface. You can Google the commands or look for them in my root memory faq in my signature.

All Roms include a RIL. No need to change
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul1508:
Why shouldn't I touch radio? Don't I get some benefits like better signal or better battery?

Is the normal miuiandroid MIUI not A2SD+ compatible?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's just not necessary. Changing it may be to your benefit. It may also be to your detriment. Any Froyo radio is fine.

If you're not having signal issues then there's little point changing it.

As miui versions, its generally accepted here to go for miui xj
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythmystic:
this might be off-topic ... if i have signal issue does this mean i have to touch the radio?

signal issue as in I always get the "Emergency call only" aka SOS

or is there a fix for this?

thanks in advance :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
That could be network related. What do they say?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythmystic:
network related?

so there's no fix for this?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Have you spoken to them? Have you tried the sim in another phone?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTRAVA:
Hi everybody. I'm new to this forum which I find pretty nice and very helpful. I have installed on my X8 the GingerDX v0.15 which works very smooth and nicely. Yesterday after taking a look at the SPB Shell 3D descriptions I decided to give it a try and consequently I purchased the product and installed it. This alternative launcher is very nice indeed and the graphic effects really superb. I'm running as I said GingerDX v0.15 overclocked at 730 and with JIT enabled, so the default LauncherPro that comes with the ROM works very well as does SPB Shell 3D. The only thing I noticed is that the SPB Shell 3D seems to restart itself ways too often: in other words every 2 or 3 actions (run an app, have a look at the messages log or a pic) whenever I close the app instead of being sent back to SPB Shell's home screen I'm being presented with a black screen with the SPB Shell message "SPB Shell is loading" or, even worse, I'm put back at GingerDX's default launcher (LauncherPro). It seems therefore that the app crashes too often and consequently restarts itself. I don't think this is normal unless I'm in a situation of low memory which I don't think is the case as I have about 85-88 MB of free memory available. This is really annoying as SPB Shell 3D takes SEVERAL seconds to (re)load every time... Is perhaps SPB Shell that is buggy (or what)? On top of that, I also noticed that some widgets don't seem to be fully compatible as they can't be loaded in any of the available panels (SPB Shell reports them as being too big to be loaded, which they are not as they load OK in LauncherPro). Any ideas on how to fix the problem with SPB Shell restarting?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XtremePeople:
yes it can be fixed

but make all games and apps lag

Do you want to proceed?

if yes try add this in build.prop @ /system and /system/bin

OKEE DOKEE... I'll try this. Many thanks for the tip. What does this actually do exactly?

P.S. I guess that the position for the above edit line (in file build.prop in both directories) doesn't matter...so I'll put it at the end...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTRAVA:
I have tried your tip .... unfortunately it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem... SPB Shell still doing the same things...:confused:... it keeps restarting or crashing (though may be slightly less often) ... with the edit line in both build.prop files I have noticed that in fact my system now runs slower than before and all apps do have lags as you said. I wonder if there's another way to fix this problem because SPB Shell is very nice to use and, either way, it is unusable at the moment....

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drknzz:
First of all, upgrade! GingerDX is now on v22 [It can also run on stock kernel, don't worry]!

Then, the root of your problem is a hardware limitation. Android has to kill SPB in order to free up memory for your apps. Search the forums for Supercharger v6, it may help you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtyree221:
I'm a total noob and started reading up on how to root my Samsung Epic 4g in order to get free wifi tether. Watched qbking77 vid on installing One Click clockworkmod 3.1.0.1. Downloaded wifi tether and it's there, but for some reason wouldn't connect to my laptop. (I have a strange 3 axis symbol down in lower corner of control panel instead of showing signal strenght of wifi signal, which stumped me as well.)

In the meantime, I was searching for ROMS to install on my newly rooted phone. Decided to try the Syndicate Frozen ROM and last night just as I was about to go into CWM, pressing the camera, volume down and power button simultaneously, it froze on the Samsung Start Up screen and is still stuck there. Took battery out and still when i try to boot it up it freezes on startup screen. Now what do I do....? :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Make sure the power button is the last button you press and hold. Doesn't SRF 1.2 require you to flash a kernel immediately following? If you can't get into CWM then you will need to follow qbking's video on how to Odin to stock and start over. If you can get into CWM try flashing a kernel like Genocide or restoring your backup.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
Yes, SFR 1.2 has no kernel attached.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] URwannabehack:
I suggest going to QBking77's youtube channel and browsing through his videos. If you go back chronologically you will find step by step "how to's" on using Odin (which it sounds like you need to do), rooting and installing clockwork, flashing roms/mods, and he is personally great at answering questions and will do his best to help you. All of his videos are step by step and easy to follow. And if he does help, make sure to "thank him" on XDA!

Ok, I will be the 1st to ask.. I found this on Amazon and it saids its for AT&T SGS2... not sure about this brand and wonder if anyone have any comments on this.. Is it too good to be true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apexi350z:
if it's 2000mah with standard size battery, then it's probably not true. can't trust the sticker on the battery. if it's larger physical size battery, with new backing, then it's most likely better than the oem battery (due to larger cell size).

initial impression...

I got the package this morning and it was in shipped in a plastic mail bag. Inside was the 3 batteries and the charger each having a white generic box sticker-ed with its model and serial. Inside, each was additionally wrapped with clear plastic.

The batteries feels good and solid. The wrapping was as pictured in its black skin with a generic label stating...

Replacement for Samsung Galaxy S2

3.7VDC-2000mAh

Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

Read Instructions in operating guide before using the battery.

[some warnings and icons]

Made in China

I did not receive any instructions on the charger nor for the batteries.

The batteries fits into my ATT SGS2 perfectly and I did not need to replace the back cover nor was there any gaps after replacing the cover with this batter into the phone.

The charger is smaller than a pack of cigarette which measures about 2inx3.1inx1.1in. When charging, the bottom of the charger has this bright PINK light on that turns to BLUE when charging is completed.

It took about 3 hours to finish charging the 1st battery and I popped it into my phone. Now, the test is to see if I can charge the battery with the new battery.

NOPE! The phone instantaneously cycle reboots with the phone charger's microUSB plug into the phone when attached to the AC outlet. I unplugged the phone charger and it was fine.

Using *#*#INFO#*#*

I compare the specs of the OEM battery vs the new GtMAX batteries..

Original:

Battery Voltage: ~3907 mV

Battery temperature: 31-34 C

new gtMax battery

Battery Voltage: ~3817-4075 mV

Battery temperature: 27-34 C

The numbers sway a lot with the new battery but does not seem to affect the phone so far as I have been using it and it seems fine.

1st use battery life:

10h 20m on battery

AOS 49%

Display 29%

Cell Standby 6%

Market 5%

Phone Idle 5%

Email 3%

Android System 3%

Android core apps 2%

Time on 43m 14s

66% battery left

I have yet to test these scenarios:

1) long term battery test (maybe it gets better after a few charges)

2) plug into Laptop USB port for charging / data transfer

3) charging OEM battery with new charger
