Yeah from the above post and from the OP's post it sounds like you are trying to use the root method for the Epic 4G which is NOT the Touch version at all. You are trying to root a E4GT with the Epic with a hardware keyboard if you are using the root method you are linking.

i have epic 4g its not touch. what should i do .everytime i use that method its stucks on power up screen.. the links u give will lead me to gingerbread 2.3.x ???

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] housry23:
Honestly, not to be mean, but you probably should not be rooting or flashing anything until you read more. You can and will ruin your phone. Also, you are in the Epic 4G Touch which is the Sprint Galaxy S 2. You need to go into the Epic 4G which is the Sprint Galaxy S which is here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=713

DO NOT USE THE FILES THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE LINKED YOU TO!!!!!!!!!!! They thought since you posted in this subforum, that you had our phone. Go to the subforums I linked you to and ask there. Also, READ, READ, READ and then READ some more. Especially if you don't want to turn your phone into an expensive paper weight.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
This may not be specific to the Infuse but every single call I make/receive has a horrible echoing effect, its like saying "hello" in a effin cave. This is my first AT&T phone so I have nothing else to compare it to.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
are you on the stock rom? i have aways had some issues with using non att roms on both my captivate and my infuse, i feel like samsung does a little better in this area on att for some reason, i know its anecdotal but whatever. smartphones are not known for the call quality, many people that left the captivate came back because their inspires and atrix's had poor call quality. even the call volume on the iphone was nothing to be excited over.

if you are on an att rom then it could be your area, there can be reflections and odd things with the radio waves. try calls with the noise reduction both on and off, see if one works better for you. you can probably set it while in a call with the menu button, and you can set it in settings>call settings>voice calls i think. only att roms have this feature for the captivate and infuse. not even identical phones for other carirers have it. rogers doesnt have it on the infuse or the captivate, the armani captivate doesnt have it, the chinese versions of the capptivate dont have it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheMan42:
It's very likely a network issue, does it happen on HSPA and EDGE, or just one of those? Does it happen everywhere, or just i'm a specific range? A cell tower usually has a general range of 7 to 10 miles. If one is having an issue, it could affect you anywhere in that range.

Hi all,

I got my Nexus S yesterday and I managed to get it rooted, flashed CWM rcovery and CyanogenMod.

What suggestions do you have?

Do you recommend flashing a new kernel?

Are there any known bugs that I need to fix after flashing CM7 or Koush took care of all the bugs?

What are your methods of performance boosts?

Thank you all in advanced.

The description doesn't mention if it will fit the Epic touch 4G. I believe this is made for the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 but not certain. I sent the seller a note but yet to receive a reply. Does anyone have any experience with this case?

Is there a physical size difference between the Sprint and International Version of the Galaxy S2?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sevenvt:
The original S2 is different enough from the E4GT that those ebay cases probably won't fit at all. Your first big hint is that the E4GT has a bigger screen...

Arguably, a perfect case would be designed for the phone, look how you want, and not cost more than 50 bucks, this good sir is far from a perfect solution IMHO.

Waste of money. I dropped my eg4t several times on concrete, asphalt and on a tile floor with not a mark. I do have a tpu case and a screen protector. I feel I don't need this type of protection.

I have had identical experiences, with not a scratch. Steinheil crystal screen protector and matte black tpu case. The tpu case only scuffed a little, it took a couple hard falls/slides too. It is cool however, I would like to see custom made wooden ones like this, natural woods (stabilzed probably) in a sort of "two frame" design like this, with spacers on the corners (wood or otherwise). I might build one for giggles to see...

Meanwhile, can let new people like me get to know more about the ROM.

Hope everyone could give some little time to describe the ROM they using and why they like it.

nik's rom is fast and smooth but there are still a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out. nik is doing some fantastic work but the rom is not quite ready for prime time, imo.

my vote goes to VUv2.39. I have had zero issues. flawless.

i will submit my vote later for 2.39 when i have access to a pc.

Nik's ROM is great but at the moment, too buggy for me.

VU 2.39 is brilliant but since I could only vote one option, it had to be the new Virtuous Affinity 1.46.0 based on Runnymede. Battery life is even better than VU 2.39 and that's saying something!

i have tried about 5 different roms since the time i managed to s-off my phone and root it.

of all the list my personal favourite is nik's trinity how ever i would like few more changes to it (already requested)

the second choice is cynagoen mod - nightly builds

the other i tried is miui and it quite literally sucks as somehow it appeared to be crashing a lot
[Galaxy S II General] iocar:
So I've been taking a few pictures on my phone, and I have noticed that the Galaxy S2 is very very inconsistent in taking quality photos. I can have a great clear shot of some mid-ranged photos, but far distanced photos have horrible quality. I understand if you take pictures of something really far, obviously it won't be that good, but when I compared to my friends iPhone 4, the 8MP is barely on par with it. Do any of you know what might be the problem? I've tried using auto focus and manual focus, but it is always blurry.
[Galaxy S II General] Sichroteph:
It seems to be an hardware problem. I find the sgsw camera pretty good, especially the dynamic range. My only concern is with indoor pictures, a bit noisy and cold.
[Galaxy S II General] minidev:
Can you upload and provide some shots samples?

Everything on auto? It might help to know which ROM/mod you are using.

I'm not an expert in mobile digital photography but if I can see your blurry distant shots it might be able to tell if I get better result with my device.
[Galaxy S II General] awojtas:
The S2 tends to like low shutter speeds (1/4s - 1/20s) ALL the frigging time.

It will select this slow shutter speed even when it should raise the ISO and get a faster shutter speed.

This is why the S2 often takes blurry photos, because even 1/15 or 1/19sec is not fast enough to take a photo sharply with a 28mm lens (effectively what the S2 is).

The slowest shutter speed the S2 should use is 1/30sec to ensure the photos aren't blurred by *camera* vibration/shake. (But, if the *subject* is moving, like a child, then 1/60s or 1/80s are the minimum that are needed to freeze the subject).

This is why the photos are so often blurry as soon as the light gets slightly low - cloud day, in shade, etc. I don't have a solution sorry!

Proof: check the EXIF data of the blurry photos you take. Most will have a stupidly low ISO (like ISO25, ISO50) and a stupid low shutter speed.
[Galaxy S II General] iocar:
Yes I have noticed that the shutter speeds are quite low...now I'm assured that its not just me

I can take SOME really good photos, but almost every other pictures are very blurry even at a close distance.

Everything is on default, except I have enabled Anti-Shake or something like that, and I am using CheckROM 3.1.1 (KJ3)

The first 2 are taken at a considerably good range, with no zoom or any effects, just a normal shot, but then the outcome was very weird.

The last one was a closer shot, but in a darker area, and that one was a little bit more clear
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
I don't want to be captain obvious, and I am sure you are a better photographer than me but can you check if the focus mode is set to macro if it is then change to auto focus.

Since this happened to me once i set to macro and forgot and all the photos were blurry.

I just felt that might be the reason.
[Galaxy S II General] Tri3Dent:
I am guessing that what you're doing is pressing on the "Capture" button without focusing on the subject yet?

I do find that it's best to press to focus on the area you want to take and then press the main capture button to capture it. It seems like the focus hasn't focused on what you want to take.

It's quite annoying because then that means I have to press in the middle and then press the capture button to take a decent shot. I wish I could just hold down the capture button to focus, then release to shoot.. which works sometimes but not as good as what I said above.
[Galaxy S II General] Dukerth:
Here you have 2 images, far and close focus. You can see the great quality of the camera. Take a look at the focus settings: better in auto mode if you don't want to manage it in all photos. Maybe you have some problem in the camera hardware... so warranty is the best option here.
[Galaxy S II General] kisstom:
There are at least 2 types of camera modules in SGS II.

Check this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098834

Mine also had this problem (blury at far objects), the soultion is set the metering to matrix in camera menu.It works for me.
[Galaxy S II General] hktony:
are you using macro mode to take farer objects ?

thats why it is more clear when you are taking photo of the specimen (3rd one):)

or the camera firmware is broken , if not ,it may be the hardware issue :(
[Galaxy S II General] iocar:
I always touch the place where I want to focus, and that is why I am confused :confused:

Yes I was using Macro, but only because it had the best quality...Auto-Focus doesn't really help as it never focus properly, as in when I press the "Capture" button, most of the time it goes to red and doesn't turn green. I am holding the phone still and don't know why

The camera firmware is also up to date

What I don't get is that my old HTC Desire can take photos that are much more crisp than my Galaxy S2 :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] TheiPhoneKiller:
Try resetting the camera settings see if that works,try a third party HDR camera app or Camera 360,if quility is still bad in the 3rd party app then it could be a hardware fault

auto contrast I find helps take better indoors :)
[Galaxy S II General] A[L]C:
Cant say I've had any problems with the camera. Love the macro focussing.
[Galaxy S II General] minidev:
It seems obvious that your device doesn't behave like it should and have focus problems. I can have the exact same results with macro mode activated (and not shooting close objects)

I would suggest :

- trying another camera app (like TheiPhoneKiller suggested)

- trying a totally stock rom

- trying a rom like CM7 or MIUI

If you still got totally unfocused shots, you may very well have an faulty device. Try to get a replacement unit if you can.

(And did you try the fix kisstom suggested?)
[Galaxy S II General] Eddiedk:
Well... my shots is certainly much more grainy, since i upgraded to 2.3.5 - even if shot outside in bright sunshine. And many of the pictures is becoming more yellow than before - especially when using the flash-LED, so something has happened when i upgraded... this is one of my big complaints about the new upgrade. My old W800i 2Mpx beats the SGS2 in pure quality of the pictures now (but that was also, and still is, a VERY good camera for a phone)...

When comparing the newest pictures to some of the old pictures i have shot in the past, it's clear to me that i have a loss of quality since upgrading. How do i check manually, if there's a new camera-software version available - as i can't seem to find any in the Samsung apps, even if i have read somewhere that there's a newer one, comparing to my version of the camera-software???

But a least it's still not as crappy as my old HTC's camera - THAT was lousy... :D
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Frankly speaking, 'Camera quality is bad' makes no sense. If you've said it's bad than this or that then I'd take it. Have used all the SE phones as I loved their image quality and I'll say after playing with the Satio, C905 I don't think this one would beat them. We are talking about a small image sensor here. So the main job is how good the post image processing is, some part still depends on the lens though.

The thing is I didn't buy this one for camera, believe me or not, after purchase, that is almost six months now, I've shot barely 10 pics with it. For normal usage and as a professional can't go without 350D, and for short tours and holidays I still shoot with my C905 :), but not GSII.

But still this Camera is capable of taking some great pics, posting some of them here, after seeing them you certainly can't say Camera quality is bad.

The very bests I've found,
[Galaxy S II General] Eddiedk:
-> ithehappy

Well - i used to have that image quality too, but it has become somewhat impossible to shot such good pictures, since upgrading... i suspect that it's because my camera firmware still is TBEC28 (but of course not sure of it)
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Confused!!! Are you saying that you always have macro focus on?

If so then turn it off. My cousin complained about the exact same thing, blurry and red box when trying to focus. Went through his settings, turned macro off and everything was good again.

Also auto focus will not work correctly if macro is on, unless your taking really close range pics, which is what macro focus is for.
