[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoitz:
I just sent back my Barely There Brushed Aluminum case. Loved the case, but it definitely screwed with GPS reception. It could hardly get a lock on GPS and Google Maps was failing over to using cell tower location, which is obvious when it happens because it becomes very inaccurate (large circle around your "location") and the GPS indicator flashes for a long time trying to get a lock. Eventually, it would get a lock, but only briefly then go back. Too bad, I liked the look and feel of the case, but I guess totally plastic will be the option for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
GPS Status shows me it locks to fewer sats slower.

Honestly the best place I can tell is in Google Maps. With the case on, the me indicator has a radius as big as my complex. With the case off, there is no radius- just a triangle on me.

I decided to keep the case for when I dress up (it is that fancy), but otherwise I am using a $6 black TPU case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jiggiep:
Yup, I just went to radioshack and my gps fails. It can utilize the cell towers to triangulate but that isn't exactly accurate 100% of the time. Oh well I really liked it too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msnyder:
I have the same case looks fantastic. I can't see where it affects the signal in anyway. I have even thought it may improve the signal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
I picked up this case today and I honestly can't tell if it is screwing with my GPS or not. It takes forever to get a lock without the case on, and then it is hit and miss how many satellites it finds and connects to. I ran a couple of tests each with the case on and off and at most with the case on I am finding 1 or 2 less satellites. But my worst off case result is the same as my worst on case result, so like I said, I can't be sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
Same here...have you tried the GPS mod that has been floating around? It essentially involves editing a gps.conf file. Supposedly it will help with GPS. I am going to try it this weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
No I haven't. I've never actually needed to use GPS so I haven't been too worried about it.

[Galaxy S II General] dikime:
I just love playing games on my Galaxy S 2 - there's yet to be made an app to make this beast sweat (if we don't count the unoptimised sh1t like DunDef ).

However, using a touchscreen isn't the best way to play some of the more intensive games, and only a few games allow hardware input (Riptide GP, Muffin Knight to name a few).

On the other hand there are the emulators which allow full custom keybinding, but you can only play old school games (which are kinda nice, although I'm only so young to remember Super Mario 3 and Spyro the Dragon).

I was wondering if it's possible to make a system wide "touch emulator".

Imagie a (hidden) button, that is bound to a hardware key. When you press the key, the button simulates a touch on the screen. Hope you get what I'm trying to tell. That way + GS2's USB Host functionality + HDMI Out could make it a pretty epic gaming station.

Any thoughts? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veladem:
Just asking cause I flashed the starburst rom and it boot looped my phone. I got into the main screen once but, the task bar kept force closing and it kept boot looping... Any help would be great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Yes this is the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch section.

Did you make a nandroid backup 1st? (If Yes, restore your backup) Did you go into "mounts and storage" and format "/system" before you wiped data/cache/dalvik cache?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
Odin another rom.

Search for and download odin v1.85. Then download a .tar file. Where ever you find these items, you'll also find good instructions.

Then try flashing starburst again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veladem:
Yes, I did make a nand and got back to it, the starburst rom section told me to flash through cwm. But, it didn't work. I odined a tar last night, I'm fine now, but, how should I go about flashing again? Yes, I did wipe.

I'm running the oc'd zedomax or however thats spelled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Did you format /system prior to flashing Starburst? That'll cause bootloops if you failed to do so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veladem:
Yup, did that, what cwm do I need?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I would suggest 5.0.2.3, or 5.0.2.6 Also...make sure you format cache/dalvik/data/system at least 3X each. If that doesn't work, then try redownloading the ROM. Might've gotten a borked download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Use this: LoStkernel or this: CWM

But I'm willing to bet that you either didn't format system in the mounts and storage menu or it didn't take when you tried. I would retry StarBurst again first, making sure to Format System Under Mounts and Storage and making sure it succeeds. Then you won't have to worry about any of the other stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, CWM can be quirky
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
I wiped cache and dalvik, but I didn't format them. I also didn't even bother to wipe and it worked just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veladem:
It's just not working... Idk why, this is the only problem with a phone I've ever had in cwm...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veladem:
Got it! It's pretty sick to. What roms do you guys suggest though?

For some reason I had to go back to stock? Doesn't matter, works now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veladem:
Just flashed starburst v 1.8 10/22 over 10/19. Went perfectly, no wiping anything. But, what should I try next. I love flashing roms...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
I'm running viperROM v2 and it's pretty sweet. It's a really tough choice between this and starburst.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veladem:
Hm... I keep getting sms like this after a flash...

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

I posted this.

It appears to me that HTC may be exiting the tablet market. They have never delivered on the promised Android update from Gingerbread to Honeycomb for the Flyer / View and the Jetstream is not competitively priced. Additionally no announcements or marketing in place for the holiday sales pitch coming up would appear to leave HTC in a bad position.

HTC are you competing and supporting your customers or dumping us????
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Maybe, but a good place to put your message don't you think? I am not looking for support, I want their sales team know that they are not selling hardware, tablet is a complete package. I also want future customers know the facts. Hurting sales is the only way to teach a lesson.

THIS IS BULL **** MAN.....i can't even express how unfair this is. HTC originally said it would be included with HC and then MONTHHHSSS later they still don't offer it to us? They promised it to us, but something tells me they forgot about us and just said screw it.

I only buy HTC products, but this customer support is unfair. This product has been out for months now and still nothing, not even a reminder saying "were working on it". They keep giving us old OS, right when (IF) we ever finally do get HC, Icecream will already be out on tablets once again giving us an OLD OS.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Parastie:
Would someone please explain the point of this? ICS was announced last week and is obviously superior to HC. Why are you complaining about not getting HC now? I can understand if you're complaining because you don't expect any updates, but ICS is obviously the upgrade path Google wants everything with Gingerbread to go with. By the look of things, it appears that HTC was working on HC then stopped when they got word that ICS was coming very soon.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bboymickey:
I sent them an email and this is what I got

You were wondering about a software upgrade for your HTC EVO View 4G. I would be more than happy to assist you with this software inquiry. Unfortunately, I do not have any information about the release of the Honeycomb upgrade for your Android tablet. I would recommend you keep an eye on the HTC regional website at www.htc.com/US under the Home tab for further developments.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I'm sorry to be blunt , but you really need to read the threads here more and understand how the Android update process works. Google does not release or control updates for any device, none, zero, nada. Maybe in the future since they now own Motorola, they will control Motorola releases, but currently no, so ICS updates are not coming soon to a device near you. When Google announces any given version of Android it runs on exactly nothing at that point and a lot of work remains with each hardware vendor to make it work on each devices.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kudzus:
Here’s my first email to them

"Being the owner of several HTC Phones and enjoying their build quality, I recently purchased a HTC Flyer, thinking it would (as promised) get updated to Honeycomb.

Now, some web sites are reporting the flyer will not be updated.

I am now approaching my 30 day return window, so my question is, do I need to return my Flyer and buy something like the Samsung?

I really like HTC products but, I do want a device that (as promised) will get updated.

Gary"

I got the same reply as you. I then sent them this

"Thank you for your quick reply. As you know the official announcement was on Feb 11, 8 months ago saying the update to Honeycomb would be coming soon. The Flyer is approuching 1 year old and still no update. It seems like I may have to return my flyer and try another product. Thanks, Gary"

I got this back

"Gary, We very much appreciate your loyalty to HTC and understand how it can be frustrating awaiting announced updates, especially when they take longer than anticipated to come out. We ask for your patience as the update is being developed and tested for your device. Thank you again!"

ICS is long way off. I don't expect HTC to release ICS update. Most likely the combination of cyanogenmod + some talented developer will give us ICS.

People fail to realize that Android and iOS are completely different animals.

iOS is made for very small set of hardware (for e.g. iOS supports iPHone 3G, 3GS, 4,4S, iPad and iPad2 hardware only) and hence it is a complete product. Hardware/Software/Apps and middleware (drivers etc) work together to deliver a consistent experience - Apple ensures that.

In Android world - google creates one version of OS with basic set of apps and middleware (drivers etc). It relies on companies to to create software and drivers compatible with the OS and developers to create apps compatible with OS - not an easy task with multiple vendors/hardware combinations.

In a sense Google has been shooting itself in foot with so many versions Froyo, GB, HC and ICS within last 2 years. I will not be surprised if companies stop supporting Google because they are tired of providing all this support. Supporting an OS update takes months of hard work. Add carrier specific releases to that and you begin to understand what a big mess all this is.

ICS is a first step by Google in right direction. Now we will have a single Android OS for phones & tablets with patch releases in future. This will bring stability to Android platform and to its vendors. In my opinion there should never have been HC and GB out at all. It should just have been HC that supported both phones and tablets.

I just got off the phone with a very polite young lady from HTC inquiring as to my negative feedback at customer support.

I explained everyone’s disappointment with the lack of Flyers HC update as echoed here and their several facebook and twitter pages.

She informed me she had contacted HTC development and they had no information as to a HC update.

I then referred her to my trouble ticket number 11USCW41ENA002087, where I had again been promised this (We ask for your patience as the update is being developed and tested for your device.)

I then explained (very politely) that I have 5 phones on my corporate account … EVO, EVO 3D and 3 HTC Shifts plus the Flyer and because of all the misinformation and lack of any support of any kind (i.e. no US RUU’s and no upgrades)from HTC for the Flyer. I would be expecting a full refund on the Flyer and would be shopping other brands.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] manpete:
Exactly the same thought is crossing my mind since a few weeks.

ICS will have pen support, which renders the Flyer merely "one among many". The reliability of the manufacturer then starts playing an important role and HTC is not scoring too well on this list. :(

In fact, since I am into reading books on my tablet as well, I am already considering the somewhat larger screen. I own an Apple iPad which I consider too large and too heavy. I have the Flyer, which is excellent except for the screen being a tad too small and obviously the incredibly poor manufacturer support.

So I am going to sit in the middle and find an 8.9" device. The lack of microsd support is what's keeping me. Once the 64GB Samsung gets available I'll be first in line.
