I have had the Motorola attic,LG thrill, iPhone 3g,3gs,4 and 4s. My gs2 is not rooted and on a stock rom and it is the best device for me. That's all that matters. Go to att and spend atleast 20 minutes with each phone you are considering. Find the phone that feels right for you. I have fat fingers so the bigger screen, light weight and community support is nice. The LG thrill has that 3d wow factor nut honestly 6 hours of battery life and froyo was awful. IPhone is nice and heavy and glass which can equal disaster if dropped. Just remember you need to jailbreak the ios to do what android can do out of the box.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monkey28rb:
I have owned the iPhone 3g, 3gs, and 4 as well as the Motorola Atrix. It is hard to compare the iPhone to Android, yes they both are smartphone OS's but are so different with how they work. I still do love my iPhone 4 at times do to its simplicity and UI( as well as vast amount of accessories ), but android is so much more tweakable and you can truly customize it to your liking. With all that being said, i really do love this phone. It is a beauty very fast and all around beast. When ICS comes out i really do not see how anyone can pick an iPhone over this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
I still don't understand "simplicity" thing with iStuff. Non-standard usb cables are simple? Inability to just drag and drop content on/off PC is simple? Cluttered home screens are, simple?

I had my captivate for over a year and actually hated it. I love android by the cappy was just a terrible piece is hardware and was nearly unusable until I discovered xda. Even after flashing to different roms it wasn't as smooth as I liked. I was hestitant to buy a samsung phone again but I am sure glad I have them another chance. The SGSII is the perfect phone to run android. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
How's the cell reception? Too many times my son's iP4 has at least some reception and my Captivate has none. I've tried different modems to no avail.

I really enjoy the GS2. It's is far superior to the Captivate I had before and even more so over the Tilt2 I had before that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dr Triffid:
Went from an iPhone to the Captivate to the GSII. This is the phone that is doing everything that I expect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
This is one issue I just ran into today. I'm back to work going a route I didn't take for a long time and now I am again. My GSII dropped like 5 times trying to call someone today. I was really frustrated when this was going on, I never had these issues with my iPhone 3GS or 4. I'm going to see how it goes for the next couple days and try to report back - might have just been a fluke.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NoOneBetter:
Came from a Blackberry Bold 9000. GSII is the best phone I've ever had.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dunjon:
Wow! Thanks for the replies guys. I'd forgotten that I even started this thread. LOL Haven't both a new phone yet. Still not sure. I really like the built in IPhone integration that almost every single gadget seems to have but if you take that away then the Iproducts don't seem all that interesting on their own. Also after playing with the 3gs I realized that not that much of an "apps" person. Right now I'm mostly using internet radio apps. That said I'm now trying to decide between the GS2 and the Skyrocket and trying to wait out another price drop on either. A $99 GS2 would be perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
Target has the SGSII for $99 this week. You can price match it at Bestbuy too ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
Trust me, when the first iPhone came out (2G) I tinkered with it like there was no tomorrow, hell Tap Tap originated as a Jailbreak app!

But after having so many apps, and a multitude of games.. the importance of the phone was the functionality you got out of it.

The Beauty of Android is the ability to customize it to the way you see fit. Like WP7? Get a WP7 Launcher (Launcher 7), iPhone with folders? (Espier launcher). One can customize the aesthetic properties of Android to look as beautiful as you want, with a growing app market and awesome features such as replacement lockscreens, compatibility to use emulators at full speed on your TV via MHL, linked with a Bluetooth PS3 controller. The possibilities are endless!

I can even use my phone like a Jedi with the proximity sensor! (Prox), or read emails at a comfortable angle without the screen turning off (Screebl).

What other phone allows you to experience the best in technology such as SAMOLED+ screens, blazing fast CPU/GPU, thinness/lightness, NO lag. The ability to have the phone look the way you want it to, a growing market of apps, and extremely cool tweaks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stickbo:
I have iPhones, androids, blackberries, a focus, winmo's, and dumbphones. Without question my gs2 has superior cell reception compared to them all. My iPhones actually were pretty sub par on the reception front, the only phone worse was an inspire, I really think the metal messes with it. If you like android then he gs2 is the phone to get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dunjon:
Sounds like music to my ears. And that's the flaw of the iphone, you can do all kinds of stuff with it externally, but you can't do much to it internally. Even my Tilt had a livelier screen and I miss the built in bluetooth internet tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dunjon:
I'm on Target's website and it lists for $199. I think this week's salespaper has it for $149. How do I get the $99 deal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetboy02125:
I even have $49.99 deal.

Anyway. I love this phone much more than the iPhone even i used iphone since 2G up to 4. 4S is same **** (used for 10 days). I waited and pissed off when it was not released in Sep 18. Never felt like that before getting the Iphones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dunjon:
Guess who's the latest GSII owner?? :D I got in on Target's $99.99 deal. I think I know what the $49.99 deal it but it would have been more money out the door. Now, can anyone tell me the best way to transfer my files, contacts, and text messages from the Iphone to the GSII? I'm not using the new phone until I'm completely finished with the old one.

OAN: I've connected the phone to my 11N home wireless and I'm not getting a full signal. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Why wouldn't I get full signal strength on the Samsung if I can get it with the Iphone and my computer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
There may be an app to help transfer text messages off but I'd be surprised. You're talking apple. Apple tries to make it not easy yo leave.

Contacts aren't hard. Just see about exporting them. Even if the phone can't handle the format you can log into Google voice on a browser through your gmail account and import the exported contacts file that way.

And files? Apps won't be compatible, so I'm guessing you're talking pictures and videos. Again apple doesn't make it very easy. Best way in dealing with backing them up is getting them onto a computer. Then from there plug the sgs II in and copy and paste.

Keep in mind wifi signal bars can display a different number of bars based on the percentage of signal strength. It may actually be the same, though a good chance the iPhone is better. More of it's antennas are connected to the frame and give it a stronger signal (thus the whole issue when apple said "you're holding it wrong")
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LuponX:
Hello, I've been running xboarder56's rooted GB OTA (not the tweaked one) for about 2 months now with almost no problems. However, my phone slows down and starts getting laggy to the point of being unusable after a day or two, and the frequency seems to be increasing. I don't run many background services. Only rebooting fixes the problem temporarily. I'll try to load a webpage on either opera mobile or the stock browser while listening to music and the music starts skipping and popping while the page loads slower than usual, but after rebooting it's fast again with no skipping.

I've been searching the forums and Google and seen a few others with this problem but can't find a fix for it. I've tried clearing the Dalvik cache (with NVflashed CWM) but it didn't seem to help any. Is this a common problem with LG-based Gingerbread ROMs, and does anyone else here still have this problem? I started having this problem after running my last ROM, CM7 RC1 after a month, and when I switched to my current ROM I did do a full wipe/factory reset. I'm thinking about trying the new-ish CM7.1.0.1 stable ROM or Weapon G2x and am wondering if those have this problem as well. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
I have honestly had that problem with every most roms I've tried at some point. Maybe not instantly, but it will eventually start to slow down like you described in which i have to reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LuponX:
Dang. Do you think a fix actually exists for this, or does everyone have this problem? It's strange since I can't find much discussion about this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It sounds like you have an app gobbling up memory and not releasing it. All Android phones such be rebooted around once a week to keep things nice and tidy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
That's the issue I have with any 2.3.3 builds. But with 2.3.4 straight for 2 days now, hasn't experienced this issue yet. Unlike 2.3.3 that even within a day, it needs a reboot. I think there is a problem with LG's memory management.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] LuponX:
If I flash CM7.1.0.1 stable, will ClockWorkMod 3.0.2.7 that I flashed for the CM7 RC suffice? Or do I need to update that too before flashing? Sorry to drag the thread along.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It should work fine flashing any zip, but the 5.0.2.0 version of CWM is far better. Flashing it with the One Click tool is a no brainer. Go ahead and update it. It will only take you a few minutes of your time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisonline1991:
Do you have any evidence to support that? From what i've read android is made to run better when more memory is used.

http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

I never had to reboot my Nexus One, or even my T-mobile G1.

I've tried just about every rom for the g2x since i got it about a month ago and they are slow down. I'm not on the 2.3.4 rom and it started out great; now its almost unusable.

Anyone know whats wrong?? i'm about to call t-mobile and try to get another phone. I don't understand how they can release phones that just don't work. How can my single core 1ghz Nexus one be faster then this dual core 1ghz phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
i'm just on stock and i have to reboot my phone every single day or else it's not useable. i have like zero apps on my phone almost so i know that can't be the problem, it's ridiculous
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisonline1991:
Good to know it isn't only me. I'm trying some more tests on my phone to see whats going on. I think i'm gonna call tmo soon and see what they say.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
i'm sure they won't have a good reply for you but definitely share with us if they do! i understand having to reboot the phone like once every three days or so but every single day is totally unacceptable
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheCoutures:
Did anything ever come from this? I'm completely stock, just got this phone the other day. This phone lags harder then my HD2 I just had, which I would have kept if the digitizer didn't go out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mr. Apocalypse:
Are you guys on stock? If so then i highly recommend going custom. LG can't code for crap, so lots of stuff that was wrong with this phone has been fixed in the recent custom roms/kernels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I've had the same issue until i recently switched to Phoenix Blood rom. I recommend it if you want to forget when was the last time you rebooted and still use the phone buttery smooth. I am using Faux kernel and the ROM is rock solid for me. Recently ran and the V6 script(instructions are on the rom's page in development section) with it and now it's even better! Give it a try you would love it;-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheCoutures:
Okay I'll check it out later, ya I'm out the box right now but not for long.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Yeah get on a ROM without any LG coding or framework. If you guys prefer a more stock 2.3.3 feeling I would suggest Bionix Reloaded.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
I make it a habit to reboot my phone every night before I sleep. :)
[Off-topic] jasecloud4:
Okay so here's the dilemma:

I have a model jet that I'm building.

It has a coefficient drag of .16

It will be flying at 150ft above sea level.

Temperature is 90F.

No wind/Minimal wind resistance.

Overall takeoff weight is 25lbs.

How much thrust would twin jet engines require to overcome the speed of sound at the above conditions?

~Jasecloud4

P.S. Any input would be appreciated but I'm having a hard time figuring this out, I'm really electrically inclined and this isn't my forte.

[Off-topic] stephj:
You need to stick it all in the drag equation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation

F=((pv^2)C*A)/2

p=mass density of air at 20 deg centigrade = 1.2041

v=speed of sound in air at 20 deg centigrade = 343.26 m/sec

C= drag coefficient = 0.16

A (for aircraft) is the wing area in sq metres. The aircraft is your design, over to you.

Ignore the 150ft height. It's too small to make much difference.

Ignore the weight, as the aircraft is flying, the lift cancels it out.

Whatever value this produces, assuming all this is correct anyway, is the drag force in Newtons at Mach 1.

The engine(s) must be capable of at least this force/thrust.

Another point is that it must be able to supply this thrust, while already travelling forward at Mach 1, so the engines must provide at least Mach 1 exhaust gas velocity.

P.S. At Mach 1, how long is it going to remain in radio range?

Ok,so here we have just one working kernel,and its linuxDX.but,it works just with gingerDX.now,we need a kernel wich will work on all 2.3 roms,because it probably will be written on gb sources.i unfortunately dont understand development of such things,but someone who does please help us.

And overclock built in kernel would be good too.

[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:
Hi :)

I have HTC Sensation and im satisfied like hell :)

I have an option to exchange my HTC Sensation with brand new HTC Sensation XE, with some cash over added by me.

Is HTC Sensation XE worth buying ? ( i mean changing it with HTC Sensation regular)?

Thanks in advance

Laynee1
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If it ain't broke....

Stick with what you have if it's working well for you.

You will be buying exactly the same phone underneath, and you will have been taken in by an HTC marketing scam.

Spend your money on some good earphones.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
if i never had bought Sensation then I would have bought the XE coz price difference between new XE and Normal Sensation is just 50$ in my country.

since I already own a Sensation then there is no reason to upgrade. it's the same thing but with some addons that I can add to me sensation even later to make it an XE.. except for the red led lights which I don't like anyway...
[HTC Sensation] lloyd_turkey2:
I have a suggestion, Don't get the Sensation XE, Stick with the Sensation and flash an XE rom, Like ARHD. And you will have virtually a Sensation XE (Just without the red paint and the overpriced headphones) :P
[HTC Sensation] kotaro_14:
Don't get it man, you'd be throwing away your money. If you really like the XE's look then just buy the XE's housing off of Ebay their only around USD$35. If you're really up for it and know some things about hardware buy some red LEDs and swap out the white ones and put the red ones in. Overall you should spend about USD$40~$50 swapping out both the LED and the housing. Skip this upgrade mate and get a quad-core in 2012 or the Nexus Prime.
[HTC Sensation] Laynee1:
Thank you all really..

I realised also, that, my sensation is working flawlessly, and there is no reason to change it to almost same phone...

And ARHD rom is different from IC roms ?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Only way to find out is make a nandroid backup.

Flash ARHD,and if you don't like ,restore IC.

:)
[HTC Sensation] brannos99:
I wouldn't buy it, definitely not. I think the looks of the normal Sensation are better, the normal sensation is cheaper (even when you buy an Anker battery which is even better than the XE battery) and the hardware is basically the same. So just flash an XE rom on your standard Sensation is my suggestion :)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Does the XE's 4gig of internal memory (not all user accessible) have any benefit, other than greater rom space?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It gives the user 1GB of space for apps.

:D
[HTC Sensation] glooom:
Hi getting upgrade from my provider the difference is about 40 e. Would XE be worth than?

No need for flashing (for a moment :)) + better headphones + overclocked from htc

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ariz0523:
Does my phone have to be rooted to flash the XE rom on the standard sensation?
[HTC Sensation] UK-Sense:
Yes, go ahead and root ........ you know you want to :D

Here's a side-by-side of two ATT GS2s on auto brightness showing the same application. The one on the left has a bluish/greenish tinge to the display, while the one on the right looks...I dunno...pinkish? Almost dirty by comparison, at least to my eyes, as it's much harder to read in low light settings. I thought at first it was the Helvetica vs stock font, but it's clearly the panel's lighting characteristics.

Here are the same phones again running the 'dead pixel test' from the Market, set to max brightness on the white screen color test.

The one on the right doesn't seem to be able to produce a true white.

Now, I get that there are different screen suppliers, and manufacturing variances among panel batches, but this whole thing has me a little disappointed at Samsung's QC. I would love to know what qualifies as a successful screen test, because the one on the right is a huge disappointment to my eyes. Just for the hell of it I compared both screens to my old Captivate, and to my surprise that had the most accurate color reproduction of the three.

How bout you guys - true whites on your screen? (try the gmail app, for example) Maybe I just got a bad batch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PeartFan40:
The screen on my SGS2 has no colot tinge whatsoever. It's white and bright. I did however notice a bluish tint on my Infuse; which drove me crazy. I actually exchanged 3 Infuses because of a flaw in market where I got the "unable to download, insufficient memory on device". Each Infuse had a different tint, or brightness to the display. I switched to thw SGS2 and haven't looked back since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joewoo:
Wow... big difference.... what the hell...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] toyfreak:
I thought this too about my SGSII when comparing it side-by-side with store units... Turned out for me the brightness was the same but another setting (adjust screen to save battery or something like that) was checked on my phone, making the screen look like crap on some colors, including making white look gray and yellow look bluish. Once I uchecked that box the display looked fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
yeah I am anal about colors too. Being a photographer.

So I was looking for ways to improve the displays on my SGS2(now returned).

I have a Gretag i1-Pro spectrophotometer that I use for calibration and also matching color swatches. So I 'calibrated' my screen to the best of the available software. There is a program call 'Screen Adjuster' you guys can use to alter the RGB values. However gama will be off, and you can only calibrate EITHER high bias RGB or low bias RGB. There is no way to calibrate both.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
QC and screen temperature were both big issues with the ISGS2 when it launched. There's a 100 page thread that's been talking about it since May. Five ISGS2's side-by-side all had from slight to wild differences in color temperature. Some of the ROMs also alter color temperature which makes it even more confusing. Cool/blue is what's intended to be normal and warm/yellow is the exception. The phone on the right in the pic looks like it has a warmer screen. I'd guess they changed either the screen or manufacturing process for the ASGS2 or you guys would have been freaking out by now.

P.S. - Samsung manufactures all their own displays and they all come from the same factories. So if there are differences it's QC or allowable deviation.
