[Motorola Droid X2] iCurmudgeon:
I don't think it's the class rating but the capacity. In my experience 32 gb cards just aren't as reliable as smaller-capacity ones. Perhaps it's a consequence of packing too many memory cells into such a small form factor, I don't know, but I've had three 32 gb micro-SD cards fail on me since the beginning of the year, whereas not a single 16 gb card has failed me yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
I just dumped 4.8gb of crap on it, over usb and it took it like a champ, it's also significantly faster than the stock 8gb card in terms of mounting, remounting, scanning my media and even opening up fileexpert is faster.

class 6 i'm sure is fine, probably the best balance, but I can even take HD video straight to this card with no frame dropping or glitching. it's currently playing hd video on my hotel room TV right off the SD card w/ no issues (the stock 8gb couldn't do that)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ha. Mine came wit a 2gb class 2 sdcard ...

Wait...now that I think about it.. I had bought a droid pro initially. It had a screen issue...I took it back and paid extra to get the x2. Then I told em I didn't wanna lose my pics/video I had taken and he switched the cards. So I guess he basically just kept the one I wax supposed to get instead of moving my data to the new one....prick...
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
what brand(s)?
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I'm using a Patriot LX 32GB Class 10 MicroSDHC now. I came from a Lexar 32GB class 10 which failed within a month. I haven't had any problems with the Patriot.
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
i am using a class 4 32gb card and transfer 16g of music on and off at one time constantly with no problems. i have had it since july
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
post the brand too.... this info is not useful.

in my case the 32gb class 10 pny card worked fine in everything but this damn phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I use the 16gb of this and it works great. I did hear more than once that even a good 32 gb can be a problem.

i personally like SGP screen protectors over realook screen protectors, but SGP cut outs for our t989 is horrible. they are high quality, no rainbow effect like the realook.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterW00DS:
I personally like the vertical slip pouch I ordered from Proporta.

https://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=5829&t_mode=des

I don't like using cases as they take away from the design of the phone. I feel as if covering a phone with a bulky case and covering that sexy form is a crime! lol. So I always just use pouches.

It took about 7 business days for them to ship to me. and so far I have no complaints.

[HTC Rezound] bast525:
The Amaze has a VERY nice camera app, beats our stock app in a few ways. I searched and found it had been ported to the Evo 3D, the graphics were a little screwy, and it FC'S when you take a pic.

Anyone willing and able to port this, fix the graphics and fonts and get it to work?
[HTC Rezound] JeffBea:
What's different or better?
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
More bells and whistles mostly, a LOT more scenes to choose from, a higher ISO setting, also, the Evo 3D guys are claiming much improved pic quality. Plus, options are good :) I THINK its the same sensor in ours and the Amaze?
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
you could just improve the stock camera app give me a couple of minutes and ill make a commit to my svn with a better camera app
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
So far I'm not a fan of the stock camera app.... no metering option, ISO only to 800, most of the scenes seem worthless. The picture adjustments change too severely. But mostly, it ruins pics by defaulting to way too high ISO, and too much saturation.

I've been using Vignette and getting MUCH better results.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
You can pull the APK from any of their roms and try to install it, you might have to wait until we have root access and push it though.
[HTC Rezound] rickbubello:
def agree the camera has room for improvement
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
the worst thing with the stock app has to be the utterly ridiculous white balance.... NONE of the options give a result that is anywhere near correct in artificial lighting.
[HTC Rezound] rickbubello:
I heard in all the reviews the sensor was improved, but i dont see how over my thunderbolt or incredible2. Cant wait til this whole country is covered in 4g so i dont need a new sim card everytime i use a non 4g phone, utterly wasteful
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
The sensor DOES seem to be much improved. I took a video last night in very low light that my Dinc NEVER would have been able to get. It would have been a blurry mess. I've gotten some good low light pics too. But I've been using Vignette which blows the stock camera app away in both picture quality and number of options. It was my kids birthday yesterday, we took her to Chuck E Cheese, forgot to bring our point and shoot, but the Rez made a more than adequate substitute....

for anyone not impressed with this camera please do yourself a favor and try some alternate software....
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
This thread is in the wrong forum.
[HTC Rezound] pwrdbykyank:
if you were to take a 13mp camera for example from the droid razr hd in china, and pop it in the rezound, would it work? or would you need programming for it?
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
nope.....needs kernel support...the libraries need to support it as well
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
*bump*

Still holding out hope for a ported Amaze camera app or an improved stock app...

EDIT: for what its worth, the camera hardware is pretty decent. I've been using Vignette as my primary camera app and consistently get better results than the stock app. It also has many more options and adjustments available.

The downside is it is slow, clunky, and not well integrated like the stock app. I find I have to constantly babysit the settings to get the really good results, and getting to the gallery or sending messages requires leaving the app as the built in "shortcuts" don't work correctly.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
The evo 3d apk works but takes really screwed up pictures

I rooted and pushed the amaze one and it wouldn't show up in Apps. I tried installing it from apk, and it fails after like 1 second of trying to install
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
weird.... I got one that was ported from the Amaze FOR the 3D, it installs from apk, launches and works but FC's when trying to save a picture.

Custom Ringtones

I have looked through every Miui SAMSUNG Infuse thread I could find, and couldn't find my answer.

Found a way to fix it, just reflash, but make sure you replace the ringtones with your own as (musicname).ogg in the ringtone folder somewhere on the zip :3 then just rezip it all, and you're good :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dvice19:
Can someone tell me for certain (someone who has the phone or has opened one up), tell me if the Galaxy Nexus has a micro sim slot or not? I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
No, normal SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just look at the instructional videos straight from google. It does not have a micro SIM. It has a standard (what we think of as standard is actually "Mini") SIM.

Remember though, you can put a micro SIM in a mini SIM slot. You just need a small plastic adapter to make it seat properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The Galaxy Nexus definitely takes a normal sim card. The confusion may have arisen over phones4u sending out micro sim cards with new orders but this was a mistake and a standard sim card is the only one that will work in there.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well like I said above, a micro SIM will work if you use an adapter. The adapters allow you to slot a micro SIM into them and provide extra plastic around them to be the size of a mini SIM.

The slot in the phone is most definitely a standard SIM slot though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
Not entirely true, it is possible to balance/wedge the microsim on the contacts and have a working phone ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Well that would have been ok then IF an adapter had been supplied with the micro sim but as it wasnt then its totally useless lol.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
DONT wedge things in your phone lol :rolleyes:

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dvice19:
Thanks to u all :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onenonlycasper:
Yes I agree that wedging random things in sim slot is bad idea, however....

If you happened to be like me and have tons of random mobile crap or sim leftover items like the cards that are credit card sized which house the original micro-sim often, then some of them have an actual cutout of a larger sim original size sim to be more clear which is popped out then the micro-sim is popped out of that piece. It's a backup/cheap way I figured for companies at one time to make sims and ship them out in one pack/card then when the user gets their phone and they match up what sim size they need they have both options....or I could be very wrong who knows.

Any ways, my point is simply that one of those leftover housings of a original size sim that you might have popped out a micro-sim from for another phone can come in handy as all you do is simply place your current micro-sim in the gap where another one used to be and it kind of even snaps into place then you have a bootleg like adapter for micro to original size sim. I don't know it worked me on my i9250 gsm world nexus and verizon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yep not much of an update though and so far I see nothing that works any better then what it already did. Read a few people say it was a bit faster but I've never had speed issues with the market so not really sure what was changed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hellcatrydr:
I got my GS2 yesterday and I'm not doing so good with it. my speed is between 1 and 3 megs down and 1 to 1 and a half up. basically it's the same speed as my 3 g vibrant. I've driven all over town and it's the same story every where in my area. I've seen other t mobile phones test at over 9 and the demo in the store tested at 6.

I've been a TMo customer for 11 years. and I've used samsung phones exclusively for the last 8.

I really could use some advice guys. is there any way to turn this boat anchor into the race horse it's supposed to be?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diazjohn:
did you update your SIM card to the one that came in the box?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian_v3ntura:
my 4G connection DROPS after about 3-5min after doing these:

1) rebooting phone

2) Turn on/off flight mode

3) manually switch from Edge to 3G/4G

basically my 4g connection is highly unstable every since i bought my SGS2 on Magenta Day (nov 19). i came from a vibrant and had to use my g1 for 3 excruciating days after my vibrant's screen cracked internally.

data is perfectly fine if i switch to Edge ONLY ,but connection drops on 3G/4G.

-_____-

and yes i did switch to the new SIM provided in the box.

EDIT: also read that there was an east coast data outage on magenta day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hellcatrydr:
Yes, I did use the new sim. (Could that cause a speed issue if I hadn't?)

Plus I have an update. My slow speed tests seem to have nothing to do with the number of bars showing. 1 bar... 4 bars, the results are similar.

HERE'S THE KICKER... I found 1 spot where I got 9-10 mb down. (ran it 3 times there. I had 3 bars.) I don't get it. I have the TMo signal booster coming. Will keep testing in the meantime.

Other than the speed problem, I love this phone. I really wanna keep it. Please save me from the big red monster!

I've always used the old sim for years now and just popped it in when I got my phone and I've been getting around 13mbps and sometimes 22mbps. If switching sims to the new on in box means getting 22mbps which is what I'm supposed to get here in houston then I will

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] petoria_:
I just switched from my "2g" sim card to the newer "3g/4g" sim card that came with the phone in the box and ran speed test before and after and saw no difference in speed. It was actually slower for some reason with the new one...the rep did say it takes a couple hrs for everything to settle in so we'll see how that goes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hellcatrydr:
Update: I found the problem...

So...

I went back to the TMo store and there, I get 7 - 12 mb DOWN but upload speeds are just stupid slow. 50 - 350 KILObytes!!! :eek: (Ookla speed test)

This is in the TMo store parking lot in the strongest signal zone in my area. The upload speed is horrendous!

So I checked the store demo: Same result. I took a pic with it (3.2mb file size) and it took 4 1/2 minutes to email it!

Then, I checked 2 other high end TMo demo phones: The HTC Amaze and LG GX2. SAME RESULT!!! WTF???

The problem is T-Mobile! There IS NO 4G upload in this area, period. (I suspect this is true for all areas of TMo 4G) Wait. It gets better...

So I called TMo & told them I'm bringing the GS2 back & unwrapping the deal (It's been 2 days since the "upgrade".) They told me "You can return the phone BUT NOT THE CONTRACT. You are locked in here for 2 more years no matter what."!!! (Before this "upgrade" to "4G", I was 15 months into my previous contract.)

I explained to them that a contract is a

2 WAY

deal and they weren't keeping up their end of the deal with .04 mb upload speeds on 4G and had therefore breached the contract. Their response was "We don't have to adhere to any speed standard, and no, you can't go back to the previous contract from 2 days ago if you return the phone"

T Mobile has gone from tops in the industry to a lying low life.

I went across the street to Verizon & checked several of their 4G phones with the same ap. All of 'em ran at 22-31 mb down and 10-11 up!!!

Desicion made: I went to Amazon's One Cent for ANY PHONE sale & bought a Verizon Rezound for a penny. (and a 'double the data' plan that is $15/mo more than TMo's. If TMo insists, I'll pay their divorce fee and take it back in small claims court.)

I would urge any friend on TMo 4G to check their upload speeds and decide if they feel they're getting burned. Raise hell if you do. I sure will miss the old T Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Fantasysage:
Sam here in NYC. Speeds are all over the place. They were very consistent and fast when I got the phone 3 weeks ago, then it just tanked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
The truth is I don't really care much about the upload speed. I don't ever recall T-mobile advertising their upload speed, just their d/l speed.

As I've said before in another post. Speeds varies depending on area and time of day you are using it/testing it. if you get great speed at 8am on monday and then do the same test at 8am on tuesday, you might or might not get the same speed due to other variables (e.g. 200 more people in the same area using their data at the same time on Tuesday).

But the 2 year contract lock thing is stupid cause I had something similar. I renewed my contract for 2 years to get this phone and they messed up my order and I said I am refusing the phone, so I will go back to my out-of-contract state. But they said NOPE. You're locked in for 2 years, but we'll fix your phone order and give you $10 off per month...LOL...i said, ok.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
That is interesting that they said no to removing two year contract for returning your phone. either they changed their policies or whomever you spoke to was misinformed. I worked there a year ago and when people return their phones as part of a two year upgrade, it is part of that contract. By returning a phone in your case, they are required to undo that contract and return you or at least bring you back to your previous plan. I would just go straight to the store you bought it from and ask for a manager or lead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hellcatrydr:
Well, I admit I'm surprised that people, especially here, don't place the importance on U/L speed that I do. Just something about 5 minutes to send 1 pic really made me start to question... and then when I saw the LTE phones perform, yeow!

Will update the thread with what happens w/ the contract when I return the phone.

BTW... The Amazon 1 cent for any phone deal is for real.

No 'sales tax for the full $800 price' BS added.

No sales tax at all!

No PITA rebate! YAY!!!

They actually billed my card a total of .01! For an $800 phone. My first purchase from them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Hey really look into asking for a manager or lead. Your phone upgrade is part of the contract upgrade. Your return, IS part of the reversal let the contract . No if, and,., or buts.. You should not be stuck on contract because you "chanced your mind" specially if you are within buyers remorse.
