Hey guys,

Well I am now on my 3rd HTC Sensation with yet another manufacture defect. I went back into the T-Mobile store this morning to see what my options are. The lady at the store is extremely friendly and is going out of her way to help me out even though I'm passed the 30 day purchase date.

She told me she is willing to swap my HTC Sensation with a brand new one on the spot (for the 4th time) - OR - if I pay the $20 difference she will allow me to get a new Galaxy SII instead.

I love the current feel of the Sensation but I'm getting quite sick of the random design flaws this device seems to have such as allowing a ton of dust under the screen and power button issues.

The design of the GSII feels solid but I'm nervous about how much bigger the phone is than the Sensation.

I know I will get some biased answers posting in this forum but I'm mainly looking for those who have switched from the Sensation to the GSII. Please fill me in with your thoughts.

Thanks!

Well after doing more research and getting sick of HTC's crap I ended up taking the plunge. Haven't even opened the box yet. I'll spend the afternoon doing research on this site until I finally get to play with it after work.

It doesn't happen with all email. I found a setting in the browser to fix word wrap but can find nothing to fix email.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
out of curiosity, have you noticed this happening with one or two people in particular? I'm thinking that it might be the way they send the email, not the way your phone displays it.

reason is - I notice that same problem once in a while on my corporate email setup on outlook. Turned out it was a problem on the sender's end. not sure the details, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
Good point. I just got the phone and I haven't read many emails yet but will keep that in mind. One in particular that I remember was from an iPad owner and another was from a library. I didn't that problem with my last phone (WinMo)

I have one email from a public library to my gmail account. If I look at it with the GMail app on the GS2, it is fine but if I look at it on the GS2 email app, it has the split word problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i'm not really sure what would cause that. Have you tried to clear the cache on the gs2 email app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
I've gotten only about 12 emails since firing up the phone. I don't know how to clear the cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
settings > applications > manage applications > "all" tab (up top) > find the email app that you're using. You'll see the button in there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
ok - thanks for directions. I cleared my cache and we'll see what happens :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lucke:
this is happening to me as well... stock email app hooked up to exchange. emails look fine in outlook as well as on the exchange server, but they appear fragmented (both portrait and landscape) in the email app... clearing cache does not do anything. this is all emails from all senders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lucke:
anybody know anything about this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
I know on my old Captivate, if you select anything other than the default font in email client, you will get this problem. But the new email client on GS2 doesn't have any way to select a different font.

Also, from the screen shots above, try tap the button "load more details" and see if it changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lucke:
"load more details" just loads the entire email thread, instead of just the portion in view.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Nope. It tries to load the email as HTML mail if your current exchange server reports as Exchange 2003. This typically works well for Hotmail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] barbo:
I don't see "load more details" anywhere. Perhaps this is only for exchange email?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
It is only for exhang 2003 emails.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lucke:
you're right... and this does fix it, but now i'm curious on how to "force" this action from the get go...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xlr8shun:
in your exchange server settings, you can select the settings for how much of each email you sync, how far back your calenda sycsr, tasks (for 2k8 and above), etc...

under emails, select the size to retrive emails to ALL, that should download all of the email, and not show you the prompt to "load more details"

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

fwiw, when you only download part of an email, its downloaded in "plain text" mode.. when you download all of an email, either by default, or by clicking the "load more details" link. you download the html version of the email if your server supports html mail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Not necessary always the case. With Exchange 2003 protocol, HTML email is not supported. So the server will only push down plain text portion of the email. Some mail servers like Hotmail are known to push as Exchange 2003 protocol only but can actually send out HTML email as well if you ask. So the 'Load more detail' button will ignore the protocol restriction and ask server for full HTML email anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xlr8shun:
you are 100% correct, thanks for clarifying :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leemongryong10:
Hi guys. I got my first android device 2 months ago and I am having lag issues.

This was given to me by my boyfriend and he said this is his old phone. Now what I want to do is to have it rooted so I can install Voodoo LagFix on it, however, since I am a very noob person when it comes to this I need everyone's help if possible.

Here are my phone's specs

GT-I9000

2.3.3

I9000DXJV9

2.6.35.7-I9000DXJV9-CL216763

root@SE-S604#2

GINGERBREAD.DXJV9

I tried to follow this blog since the one who wrote it said it was easy to follow

bala4linux.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/root-samsung-galaxy-i9000-2-3-3-dxjv9/?like=1&_wpnonce=27d9c2fb53

but when I am trying to put the zImage thingy it seems that I can't see the file after clicking PDA and also i double checked on it and it just says "file". no ".tar"

on it. Maybe my computer can not recognize ".tar" files? I don't really know. I wish you guys can help me. all I want is to get rid of the lag on the phone... btw I have optimized it on every angle possible (cache, move to sd, clear data etc).

My only hope to fix the phone is through voodoo lagfix (i think).

I am really noob on this. If you can please tell me how to do it step by step.

if you can show visuals then it would be very much appreciated.

NOTE:

please do not ask me to ask my boyfriend this and that.

after he left Korea we broke up. also, to clarify i think this phone is the international version since its not from anycall.

Your help is very much appreciated ^_^

EDITED:

Also, please allow me to add. I saw a video on youtube rooting there was a yellow thing on odin upper left. When I did it it was not there... They yellow thing under the green bar stating progress i think? says pass and all that ... I hope it was a big hint on how to root my phone =(( ..

Waiting for your generous help ~_^
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cjlmlml:
This may seem like a basic question to you guys.

I work in an industry where our emails our monitored.

We now have the ability to get emails on android phones instead of only being able to use blackberry.

The email is transmitted securely by an app called GOOD.

GOOD will not work on rooted phones.

Can I root & remove bloatware & then unroot ? Or does it all come back?

I assume the phone has to be rooted to run a custom ROM?

Apologies if these are basic questions
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Check out this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255214

The steps to follow would be to:

1) Install clockworkmod recovery using the one-click recovery flasher that tga gunmann has posted in the development section.

2) Download the 2 zips that jboxer posted in the thread I linked to above and save them to the sdcard on your phone

3) Using clockworkmod recovery flash the root zip and then reboot into Android.

4) Use Root Explorer or some other file explorer with root access and get rid of whatever bloatware you don't want.

5) Reboot into clockworkmod recovery and flash the unroot zip.

6) Reboot phone

That will allow you root access to make any system changes and then unroot the phone to remove su privileges.

[General Questions and Answers] devtherockstar:
i was on GB 2.3.5 (baseband version I9003XXKPM). I had wanted to flash the phone back to froyo 2.2.1 (baseband version I9003XXKB3) as the front camera in Fring was not working and was working well on froyo.

so i was following the flashing procedure on this page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004622

i followed the steps exactly to this point

1. Download and run odin.

2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.

3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit

4. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.

5. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.

6. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.

then the phone shut down and hasn't started up since then. It cant get detected by the computer (both by kies and odin). I cant get into either download mode or recovery mode.

I guess its bricked. Please help me make it alright again..im really stressed out! Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctibor:
I have a no name Chinese 7 inch Tablet (Kinpad I200), but it works suprisingly well. It has a Cortex A8 processor, 800 Mhz speed, built-in 2G and 3G modul (SIM card), etc. The op. system is Android 2.3.3.

The only big problem I have with that tablet is related to its mobile data service. After switching on the device, the 3G icon is on, and it works normally, up- and downloading data with high speed. But if I (a) lost the 3G signal because there is no continuous coverage where I am, or (b) switch on the WiFi connenction -- I never regain the 3G (nor Edge or GPRS) connention until restarting the whole system. Then I have data service again, even 10 hours or longer, but after another WiFi session or moving a poor-coverage area, the problem reproduces itself.

Reading different forums I have realised that different Gingerbread-powered devices used to have this (or similar) problem and the manufacturers issued firmware upgrades to resolve it. Although my tablet is Chinese, its manufacturer also has issued a couple of OTA updates so far and I installed all, but the data problem remained.

So my questions are:

1. Is there an app that could bypass the Gingerbread built-in mobile data handling and manage the connenction itself? (I am asking this because I learned that Android does not allow access to those settings from 2.3 Gingerbread version -- maybe this is the origin of the problem...)

2. If there is not any 3rd party application, that would bring back the data connection, maybe there is a way to simply restart the mobil data service (without resetting the whole device). -- It also would be some kind of workaround, because it is quicker than make a whole reset.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion or help!

Cheers,

ctibor

Hi I am thinking of getting the gs2 to replace my lg g2x which is a kick ass phone but I am bored with it so I want something new. I was going to get the s1 but right before I changed phones the g2x came out and the specs were great. I dont regret it but I still want a Samsung. I just have a few questions first.

Overall how do you guys like your phone? A 5 year old can hack and root the g2x is this phone the same? If not how hard is it to root? What are the chances that this phone will get ICS? And how long do you think you will have to wait? And finally would it be better to wait for the galaxy nexus to come out? Is the galaxy nexus really going to be that much better than this phone? Also have any of you heard if the galaxy nexus is going to be available for TMO. I asked a rep today who said she did not know. But we all know asking the customer service over the phone is like asking my grandfather who hardly knows what a phone is. Any help you guys can be is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot

The SGS2 is a great phone and I don't think the galaxy nexus is going to be much better. BUT, I personally would go with the galaxy nexus since it bring the android experience ( I mean no touchwiz) and ICS. Anyway rooting SGS2 is a piece of cake, as is flashing ROMs and stuff so you could easily get CM7 running and get rid of the touchwiz interface.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojorisin7178:
So the galaxy nexus is coming to tmobile? If it is I am definitly going with it. Like I said a rep over the phone said thy did not know yet. But this close to launch I would tink they would know but thats just my opinion. Thats the other thing I wanted to ask about touchwiz. Is it ok or does it suck. The g2x is vannilla android and thats the way I perfer it. I actually dont really use cm7 not saying it sucks but I didnt even install cm 7 until the recent final relese of 7.1 came out. However I love Eagles blolod based off CM 7 that is by far the best most stable rom I have used to date. Anyway thanks for all your help guys.
