[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crawlgsx:
The SNexus is not confirmed to be coming to AT&T. You could be playing a pointless waiting game. If you love your Infuse screen as much I do, don't even consider the Vivid.

It is VERY likely that the SNexus does not come subsidized to AT&T, that we will only get the option of an unlocked GSM version.

Personally I wasn't willing to chance and wait, and I don't regret it at all, the Skyrocket is an amazing phone. I also came from the Infuse. The phone is faster, feels better in the hands, has better battery life, louder speaker, much clearer call quality. The screen is the same gorgeous one that you are used to. I don't even have "4g" let alone LTE but my data speeds are still consistently faster. I used to get anywhere from 1.5-2.5mb, with rare spikes to 3mb at my house, I consistently get over 3mb and up to 5 now.

Worst case I can sell my Skyrocket and buy a Nexus anyway, since your upgrade will likely be useless for one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] amtrakcn:
I would suggest original AT&T GS2, the i777 model. Since you won't be covered by LTE for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cjindustry:
I would get the skyrocket.. I had the s2 speed are better on skyrocket and I'm not in a Lte area.. bigger screed and more CPU than the s2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] amtrakcn:
Skyrocket is less CPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cellgeek:
I moved from an Infuse to a Skyrocket. I tested both devices because I like HTC and my Infuse has been rock solid.

I think the HTC has better sensing and UI (meaning the phone is more correctly aware of it's environment, HTC does a better job than Samsung's "motion" setting). Both are relatively quick and the radio/voice sounds excellent. I think HTC's bluetooth works better than the Samsung. I like the feel of the Samsung better with the exception of the crummy thin back-plate.

The screen was the deciding factor for me...once you've used the Samsung screen, everything else is just washed out.

That being said, my Skyrocket refused to turn on this morning and is DEAD. Going back for a warranty return. Either is a good choice - LTE is freakin' fast -- for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kaze105:
So many people are saying the SGII CPU is better, which i dont disagree, but is it really THAT different? Or is it just slightly better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cjindustry:
Skyrocket is 1.5 vivid and s2 is 1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kaze105:
The GHz doesnt really mean much in this case. The Exynos in SG2 clocked at 1.2Ghz is actually said to outperform the qualcomm clocked at 1.5GHz in the Skyrocket. Which brings me back to my question in the previous post, is it noticeably slower, or just barely slower.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
The screen is a very slight downgrade from my Infuse.

The phone is waaay faster.

Speaker is much louder.

Infuse had a much better texture on backplate but it also felt flimsier than the Skyrocket.

I average about 380MB of RAM while my Infuse was always taxed out at 400+.

So with the Skyrocket, I have ~400 free RAM while the Infuse was gasping for air.

Battery life so far has been pretty similar, but I am not using LTE yet.

The phone is just barely heavier, but not as large. Though it'll feel the same in your hand.

I am able to use my Infuse car dock with the Skyrocket.

You cannot use any Infuse cases on the Skyrocket though.

I am very very happy with the upgrade. The screen quality is the only downgrade from the Infuse.

Another user had the same issue.

He tried plugging it into a computer with synch cable and didn't have any luck.

Then the lady at Best Buy plugged it into an AC cord and within a few moments it powered up and started charging.

Apparently the battery had drained completely and a synch cable wasn't enough to bring it back to life. It needed an actual AC wall charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] amendoza323:
I had the same problem not booting..... then left it on ac charger for about an hour and finally booted i freaked out..

Hello together,

mp3 and jpeg will not found through the mediascanner on internal usb storage. I see nothing in galerie and player. If i copy my mp3/jpeg to the external sd-card, it works fine. But now i have the known CWM bug.

Why do the mediascanner ignore my media files on the internal USB storage ?

There is no .nomedia file. Is it forbidden to use the usb storage for media files ?

best regards

Klaus

I am using CHECKROM V2 ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rampler:
I cant believe, that i am the only one, who have this problem !

More detailed description:

Files in /sdcard/usbStorage/Music/*.mp3 will not be shown in music player.

Files in /sdcard/external_sd/Music will be shown

During copy my files to usbstorage i will see the music for a while, also pictures. But, if all data are copied, i see nothing anymore.

Does it work on yout side ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rampler:
Problem solved !!!

sdcard/usbstorage is the wrong directory

if you have problems, copy your data over a usb connection..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mrichman:
So, On my shiny new Razr the internal Storage is mounted on /sdcard not /emmc like other phones. Is there a way to switch these so my apps work properly?

Also, In a bizzarre twist the bloatware is actually uninstallable. there is a madden 12 demo that comes with it and i tapped uninstall figuring i was going to get an error. I didn't then realized my sons really wanted to play it. Does anyone have it to download?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Chirality:
This doesn't actually help you but...I'm curious, on what phones is the internal media storage mounted at /emmc? I thought it was always mounted at /mnt/sdcard which is symlinked to /sdcard?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grabbit:
Hello,

I am newbie here.

I have my captivate since January. I like the device itself very much.

However, I wasn't able to update the firmware to Froyo or Gingerbread at all due to a lot of difficulties that I faced.

My phone is ROOT(just to confirm, I have 'superuser' app - does that mean my phone is ROOT?).

I used to have laptop with linux 10.04, and believe or not it was so difficult to ROOT my phone.

However, I have Win7 64bit Professional currently.

And trying to upgrade to Gingerbread. (My phone is 2.1 firmware as of now.)

The problem that I'm facing is that my phone won't recognize at all when I plug into USB ports.

These are what I've tried so far,

(on both USB debugging mode & mass storage mode)

- Yes, I tried several different ports as of suggestions from other post.

- I tried to install & re-install drivers. (I tried SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2.zip driver & Samsung Galaxy S USB Driver for Windows x64)

- I did restart my computer more than 10 times.

- I installed current kies and re-install several times.

- I installed older version of kies 1.xxxx.

- I did delete drivers from device management.

I am really running out with ideas to solve my problem.

I've been researching a lot & can't find any more solutions. :(

CAN ANYONE HELP???

Thanx!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Have you tried a different USB cable? Preferably the one that came with the phone (unless that's the one you're using now, of course)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreepyKen:
The cable that came with the Captivate is known to not work with all computers (my guess is it's some sort of voltage range it doesn't like). There are a few threads on this in this forum.

My suggestion is to get a Motorola cable. Here's why:

My stock Samsung cable that came with my Captivate worked on my old PowerMac G5, but not my brand new iMac. I thought it was an attempt by Apple to deny use of Android phones on their machines.

I tried using a store-bought USB cable by RocketFish. It still didn't work.

Out of desperation, I tried the Motorola cable that came with my wife's Bravo, and the phone connected with no problem.

From your description, it sounds like you could connect on an old computer/OS combo, but not with a new computer/OS combo. So try to get your hands on a Motorola cable (or other third-party cable) and try that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grabbit:
@ apbthe3 yes, I am already using the cable that came with the phone. Thanx!

@ KreepyKen I did try the cable that I have with on a mac computer and the mac seems like not recognizing either. I'll go to AT&T shop to see if they can try with motorola cable. Thanx!
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Has happened twice now; When I stop using the phone and go to bed, I've got 33% battery left. Wake up in the AM and look at my phone, the battery is down to 13%! What the heck is it doing at night? I don't use 3G/4G networks at all, they're disabled. Wi-fi is on at all times, but sync settings are on only for Gmail, FB and Contacts....... Strange!

Could it be the flashing LED-light, that shows I've got new mail/messages?
[HTC Sensation] i_Den:
i have 100% battery when i'm going sleep. On wake au battery is minus ~35-40%

no 3/4g, no WiFi

about 100 apps installed.

from here about 20 apps always trying to go in running processes. things like maps facebook mail.... it drives me crazy

try to watch battery graphs,

I'm sure you know about advanced task killer, Android System Info, System Panel Lite apps... with 'em yu can track phone activity... applicatio call, usage, battery graphs, .....

maybe you have some custom ROM like Revolution HD which is overclocking your CPU and GPU
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
All,

Is there any way to do this so that the external card is seen as the primary one?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
yeah this is a huge problem, stupid motorola.. hope someone comes up wit ha solution, tried using root explorer to swap names, seems cant..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Got something to do with a build.prop edit I think. There's a dev for the Droid x2 that made a flashable zip to flip-flop it for us.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] davinci27:
We aren't the only folks who have the SD card issue I believe the galaxy s II has the internal mounted as SD card and the external as sdcard-2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DThor:
That's correct, my xoom handles it the same way. It's not so much Motorola, as it is Google, and it's for security. The problem is, as usual, it's sort of half baked at this point and it's not generically supported. My understanding of this is that applications need to be compiled with the newer calls to allow access to the ext sdcard as well as the internal(which foolishly defaults to the old external name).

Anyway, I'm hoping with ICS and apps being compiled with that these sorts of issues get hashed out.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] infamousjax:
Correct... it's how Android manages it. Google's fault! :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stunno:
My problem is that when I connect it to my PC it mounts a drive which is 20 something MB, which is 16mb microsd + some of the internal storage. I have a folder on the microsd called apps which contained 20 files and I copied 4 more to it. My PC showed 24 files in the folder but the razr file manager still showed 20, another folder had been created in internal storage with the 4 new files in it. That took a bit of figuring out!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
No solution yet then?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
I don't think you'll have any solution until a bootloader solution comes to us.

This "swap" requires some system critical files to be modified and, as you know, if you break a signature, your device will be softbricked.

Patience is the way.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djamloops:
I noticed this line in the build.prop. " ro.mot.internalsdcard=1" is that what tells android if it should mount/use an internal sd card? I'm not brave enough to change it to a 0 and see what happens. Well not without more info anyway. Anyone know what this setting does?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teegunn:
Actually this (in theory as I don't have a RAZR) should be hackable if the phone is rooted. One should be able to use script manager to write changes to how the sd and sd-ext are seen by the phone. As was already mentioned, there was a vold.stab script made for the DX2 which did this, but even before that script was made there was a way to change the script by hand. No guarantee this would work on the RAZR I suppose but I don't know why it wouldn't. IF the RAZR has the same goofy file management as the DX2 IMHO that is just a huge flaw and the first thing i would do is find a way to swap how they are seen by the OS. Again I don't have the phone so I can't verify if there is actually the same problem as the DX2 or not.

The other day I let my friend use my player, and he was stupid and opened titanium backup and accidentally deleted a whole bunch of system apps. I had not backed then up yet, and so now my device is super buggy and many things don't work right.

Just use terminal emulator from the market and first type "su" (you need to root your device first), then copy paste those commands under system, kernel, and recovery to create three files on the root directory of your phone. Then can you upload them to a site (such as mediafire, megaupload, etc) and post or pm me the links?

But you only have to make a backup a of the Sytem and the Kernel (recovery is not needed).

To backup the system, the correct command for YP-G1 is :

I was looking around to find something to improve the stock browser on CM7. It is really laggy for some reasons.

I found a solution in the Desire Z area. Download this patch and flash it in Recovery.

Here is a video of the patch in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DZnie3u0YI

Now the browser is smooth as butter, it is comparable to Opera smoothness. I think this is the best we can get for the moment.

Enjoy !

I use the stock for quick browsing, fir example when I just want to quickly check something , it loads much faster ar the start up than opera.

But opera is better for all rounded browsing :)

For me nothing compares to stock browser. It loads pages faster, it's more intuitive than many other browsers and I got used to it. With this patch it's perfect... well almost. I only miss the pinch to switch through pages like stock sense browser.
