[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
My fear is whether Samsung will provide the support for HW acceleration or HW optimization. HW acceleration is likely to be some nasty stuff that will exceed even the expertise of XDA's brightest. This is likely due to not knowing the full-breakdown of the hardware (something Samsung will likely not release to the public).

This is the issue right now with WP7 and HD2. Work cannot progress because from what I understand, the DEVs would find it impossible to continue work without gaining access to the blueprints of the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
That is very true. The blueprint isn't available/released for WP7 so the HD2 won't be able to get a much more fluid version of WP7 running. We can debate about this all day but its up to Samsung. For the record our hardware is very capable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
Hence why I urge people to buy the phone based on what it can do now and not about the potential optimizations it may or may not get with the most important part coming from Samsung (something a lot of people are claiming).

Especially do not buy this phone thinking you are going to get ICS by Valentine's Day (officially). I highly doubt it knowing the turtle pace of American carriers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
I would bet a lot of money that they will not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Matt -- HB Cali:
I don't think anyone is saying "the phone sucks", there is just a few of us who have experienced the Sprint and/or AT&T versions before coming to Tmobile so we fully understand how the Tmo version is handicapped, in a number of ways, for whatever reason (processor(s), optimization, whatever), and we are making that fact public.

For obvious reasons, most Tmo users do not want to hear this, so they fight back viamently claiming that we're haters or trollers, when all we're doing is pointing out this phone's problems.

It's a good phone overall, but just not as good as the Sprint or AT&T versions. #fact

You mean don't expect to get official ice cream with touchwiz by valentines day. We will probably see a fully working unoffical working ice cream by then though. Since cyanogemod team is use to working with our processor and gpu drivers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
Bingo. Like I've said, I've used the European GS2 for a few weeks, so I noticed the difference when I was played with it at the store. But I could deal with that knowing that I'd be very likely to get this phone for free relative to paying the full-retail for the Euro-GS2. :D

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Hopefully, hopefully. You can only hope. Aren't the major CM devs all in major life-changing situations now? I thought recently that the head of CM was saying that development might slow down a little bit while they reorient themselves to their new environments. Has that come to pass?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Cyanogen said it him self that development won't slow down. They are probably just waiting for source code like always cause making a rom on the sdk will suck like always. We also have the chinese developers Miui which seem to make the worst possible gpu and cpu on phones not lag:confused:. Even though it takes them longer to reach stable than cyanogemod. Since theirs is a heavily modified cm source code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I never said this phone is the greatest thing since sliced bread or that it keeps up with the other variants. I am stressing the fact that some of you said that the processor is limited etc. Our issues on lag and choppy-ness while playing games isn't a hardware issue. That's my argument and I stand by it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
You guys should go to att or sprint. Me, I could give a **** less if their version has a better CPU, ****, mine locks on GPS asap and this CPU gets better battery life.

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i totally agree with that.

i don't know why people put so much emphasis on the difference in CPU, when this version work amazingly compared to past stock Samsung experiences :p

now that we got root, and optimization already available, things are even better than expected.

i can't see any flaw on this

BTW, we make huge stride on this, it's only been 2 weeks since official release, and we already got Root, Custom ROMs and working Speed up Optimization tweaks

i've never seen development this quick, not even for Nexus S or regular SGS2 when it was released.

back in SGS1 it took nearly 4~6 months to get as far as we did
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
Thank you sir for a statement well put together. Lets forget about the CPU. Why even mention the CPU when that's not our issue? I could careless about at&t and Sprint's version. Am I suppose to void my contract and switch to Sprint or at&t because they have an Exynos processor? Our phone has a software issue that can and will be addressed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
It's a trade off just like any other big/meaningful purchase (i.e. a car or a house). Nothing is ever going to be perfect. The AT&T and Sprint versions might have better hardware but not they definitely lag behind t-mobile internet speeds.

I'm not trying to play crazy games on my phone. I have dead space and like to use it to show off what this phone can do, but I doubt I'll finish even half of the game. I'm not a 'Phone gamer' or whatever you'd call it.

I use my phone primarily to talk, read/write emails, and keep up to date with news/daily life (Pulse, NPR, Engadget, XDA, ebay, etc.). I have never noticed any lag or problems fulfilling these needs, so I am highly satisfied with the phone.

If you love to play a ton of hardcore games on your phone, the sprint or AT&T versions are probably better as no one can dispute the superior GPU of the exynos.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
that's a good point you bring out.

my primary use for the "phone" is data, i do a lot of remote desktop, vpn, vnc, etc, as i constantly move around to provide Tech Support for my customers.

i hardly use the phone to talk, but good data speed is essential to me

games are like an added bonus, for times when i'm waiting in the doctor/dental office, or airport, or train station, or bored feeding the baby, need 1 hand operation to browse the net or single hand games :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
I prefer faster data speeds than a processor that is 25% faster. The Hercules is plenty fast anyways.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
I had the Sprint version for a couple of days, and I'm not a phone gamer so none of that gamer stuff matters to me. This phone is leaps and bounds better than my Nexus S, and I am completely satisfied with the progress being made. I currently have mine underclocked to around 1ghz using setcpu, and it runs fine for me. The data speed is ridiculously better, so ya, extremely satisfied.

D/l'd doodle jump just to see what the fuss was all about. Did not see any jitter or distortion.:confused: Then again I'm not a game head and didn't purchase this phone just for it's superior gaming capabilities.:rolleyes: Each device has it's strengths and weaknesses. When you tally up all the points, I think the Tmobile version sits on top IF you happen to live in good 4g coverage. Unfortunately, I don't live in a 4g service area.:( So I'm still considering adding an ATT version to my lineup only because they have hspda coverage here and edge speeds even on such a great device just plain sucks.:mad: In conclusion, if you can get Tmobile 4g then it's a no brainer for me. If you just need a handheld gaming device get a psp or ds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
Same here, I never understood what all the fuss was about regarding Doodle jump. My wife plays doodle jump on my phone from time and time and has never noticed any lag or stuttering of any kind.

It's kind of funny how if a simple game gets ported to the PS3 or Xbox360 and has some issues people don't throw up their hands and say "My PS3 can't handle Doodle Jump, this system is crap" the way they do with this phone :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
I would like to know why Matts phone can't run doodle jump properly but a number of members including myself and random Co workers played the game just fine. Hope your phone isn't faulty bro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] h4ng0ver:
Damn, didnt know doodle jump is a new benchmarks for Android phones...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Funny thing is, I played the game fine with no stutter or anything. I think some people just look for things to complain about.

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] barondebxl:
And you're absolutely right. People are so stupid. Use your damn brain. The MYTOUCH 4 g with a single core and adreno 205 runs doodle jump perfectly, and the T-mobile SGSII with 1.5 ghz dual core with adreno 220 lags at doodle jump and people say that the phone internal suck. What a bunch of ****ing morons it's just that it's not been properly optimize you retards!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TJBunch1228:
I can't believe there are people here saying the tmo version is crap or garbage. Even if the exynos versions do have a small advantage, the tmo SGS2 is still a phenomenal device. Are the people saying this phone sucks just pissed that people are defending it, or do you honestly believe this version is crap?...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I've been saying this same thing the whole time. Smh. OPTIMIZATION!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Matt -- HB Cali:
I think you have to first play the game on the Sprint version in order to understand what i'm talking about. In fact you don't even have to play the game to tell the difference, you can see the distortion on the start/menu screen.

Either way i'm going to root the phone eventually when a custom kernel comes out so hopefully that will fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PoisonWolf:
Care to take a picture and show it to us?

You got me curious as to what this problem is all about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I used my friend's sprint variant yesterday to play and download at least 5 damn version of doodle jump even the ones you had to buy. It has no problems playing a game. Then i used my craptasic version of the phone. That the software problems are so much worst then the other carriers hardware problem with bad data signal and worst battery life.:rolleyes:. To my surprised what wow it didn't lag. Playing the benchmark game of the season. Because their isn't any other game in the market like it "cough":rolleyes:.

To let you know have the comments say update the game the ios version is better. The game doesn't work on my droid. So for a game that hasn't been update since march 2011 your asking a lot. Dual cores just recently became popular. After the g2x so that was mainly the sensation and samsung galaxy 2 cause tegra2 processors had serious problems. I can tell you the sprint version has no lag at all. I still have faster web loading speeds and such other features the qualcomm chip can bring over the mali-400.

I'm not sure if this is even the right kind of forum to post this, but I imagine some dev has had this. When trying to move files onto my device using dolphin file manager on Ubuntu with KDE desktop the files never transfer. Anyone know why this is and if I can fix it. Is it a problem with ubuntu or with the device(xt860) It's a pain to switch to windows just to move a file. If a mod wants to move this thread that's cool. I wasn't sure where to post so here it went. :p

Curious, do you have a memory card and reader available to test out? Imo try putting files on the card with the reader in ubuntu and see if you can read them on the phone, if not it's ubuntu.
[Motorola Droid 3] volcanomike:
Are you mounting the sdcard or internal storage?
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
With ubuntu and the phone in usb mass storage mode he would be auto mounting both, although that does bring the question to mind ... Are you sure you're looking at the right disk on the phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] Camspanners:
How do you know it didnt transfer?

On the phone, internal storage is /sdcard, external is /sdcard-ext. Are you looking in the right place?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I tried it multiple times, and I checked both the internal and external sdcard each time, just to make sure I didn't drop it in the wrong one. I also tried moving it through terminal commands just to see if it was a glitch in the dolphin package. I also tried another package "file manager" or something. I'm not at home to check the name. Everytimenothing. I tried unmounting the drives, and just disconnecting. Everytime, nothing. Did it in windows, and copied over right away.

PS. I also tried both moving, and copying, both show it on the card, but when I disconnect, its not there

Faster fix has helped with me except gps takes me in a circle sometimes before actually getting a straight path to where I need to be.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
Are you rooted? The best thing I can recommend is that you flash a new ROM. While on the stock ROM, I could not get a GPS signal at all. None.

But after flashing to the EP3HA ROM, I get a fix in a matter of seconds every time. It isn't dead on accurate, its off by about 20 feet, but it works!

So I was trying to root last night, and now I get n extreamy long boot up time, seriously it vibrates on white htc page for a full 2 minutes :eek: prior to it saying "HTC Quietly Brilliant" (vibrate happens in white HTC screen) then it will boot up to normal os. stuck on military time, and Super User with Visionary shows up in app list but not actually rooted. How can I fix this, and restore to box settings? I had no problems when rooting my captivate, so I figured I could do this one.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Most of us sleep sometime or another (I'm not sure about attn1).

Anyway, you've got the wrong hack kit. Popular demand forced ATTN1 to include the ENG hboot, but it was soon determined that the latest Inspires off the line were having problems with the ENG hboot so it was scrapped after a day or so. If you are still trying to D/L a link to the old one, then it will certainly fail. Get the latest here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

You WILL need to change your hboot. Reinstalling the RUU will do that, then you can root again with the latest.

As far as the IRC channel, best bet is during working hours US time (like 8am to 8pm PST or so).

what is this actually? sry this may be a noob question.. but can someone explaine to me?
[Xoom General] xfinrodx:
Oh shoot, I know why Asphalt won't start. I thought I read that you were trying to get some other app to work earlier, not Asphalt. That is actually the "superfluous" file I did not include, erroneously thinking no one would miss it. I'll upload it separately.

This is the /system directory from a Xoom Family tablet. If that means nothing to you, it probably isn't suited to your interests. There are some easily usable goodies in there that may work on other devices, but there are no guarantees- and most of the contents are technical items integral to Android. You are welcome to download it and see what sort of trouble you can get in to ;-)
