[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sdotmouse:
Having owned this phone for roughly two months I don't think I can recommend you switching from your SGS.

As a phone i.e call quality and general connectivity it is fine. GPS seems reasonably quick.

This isn't your first Android phone so you know the battery tricks - you will need them.

However, I reall advise against getting this. The two main readons are the MDPI screen and the woeful amount of RAM. The processor is somewhat lacking by todays standards too.

The Ace is, to all intents and purposes, now a low end phone. When it was released it was a reasonable mid-range device. Not so much anymore.

There are better optiond. I have a Huawei u8800 and a ZTE Blade as well as the Ace and would recommend both of those above an Ace. The ZTE Blade is superiour to the Ace in every respect apart from the processor but if that matters o/c. The u8800 is comparable to the Desire HD.

The Ace is functional, but obsolete. We will struggle to keep up to date software wise. CM aren't supporting the N1 so our chances are small and we would struggle because of hatdware limitations anyway. So basically I'm recommending you look elsewhere.

Yes camera flash, only for photo reason,size and led i bought sga not sgs..for author i can now recommend htc desire because its now cheaper than sgs and more expensive than sga

When i bought sga, then desire was more expensive than sgs, 90$
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ohwarumbloss:
I dont have the Battery Problems, using my Ace at Home most time with Wlan, using Facebook Client Socialjogger and Friendcaster, little Call -activities much Xda app, Worldwar and sometimes FarmFrenzy, using Miren Browser for Inet researches sometimes and I always get my Ace over the day.

But I don't overclock and use Kernel from Ketut, Battery Saver and Governor "ondemand "

I am on KS9 Firmware.

The San Fransisco 2 has just been announced. i know this is a stupid question but will the unlocking and de-branding process be roughly the same? The phone is the same specs obviously the framework will be different, but unlock and de-brand on ZTE Blade was so simple and wondering if i should buy one, as i don't want to be stuck on Orange.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
Just wondering if anyone has noticed that their "off-brand" USB cables no longer can send/recieve data from a computer.. I remember this happening after the OTA 5.6.890 came out. Now only my supplied Motorola cable works, which is 2 feet shorter than the one I have (longer USB cables are better in my book)

**Edit - I just booted on AP Fastboot, and it reads the damn phone like a champ, so I'm going to guess that Motorola wanted to rip us all off and make us get their OEM micro USB cables (after the 5.6.890 update)..
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Mine works fine with my Kindle cable, which is quite long.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
My longer cable is from my old LG enV Touch.. it worked all the way up to the 5.6.890 update..

I currently have an Atrix 4G working great where I'm from but I'm thinking about getting a skyrocket... Will it work with the same sim card my Atrix does...? Obviously it won't have the LTE speeds but I don't care... I also know I have to unlock it with cellunlockr.net that's not that big of a deal...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
I did exactly the same thing. Had atrix aquired a skyrocket last week. Popd in my atrix sim could make calls but no data no text no web. So i called att . They need to know u have the lte phone u gota call and tell them or u will have no data they had to punch it in there system then i restarted my phone when she was done and i had data everything worked fine. But i do have anblte plan and wana use my lte so i went too att store this evening and they gave me and programed a lte sim card for free. But if your not uaing at&t obviously youll have to unlock the phone and in that case i dont see why it wouldnt work . Mines locked to att so they were the reason my data wasnt working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bekarhoo:
See why it wouldn't

I am one of the Atrix 4G people who have hopped on to the SGSIISR, Atrix 4G is used to work fine after unlocking in India. Just unlocked (by paying) last week the SR, I am pretty sure it will work. Will check out next time I am overseas.

You just have to make sure the GPRS/2G/3G/HSPA/LTE bands are supported by carriers wherever you want to use this phone. The phone will not support the T-Mobile 3G bands, so far as data is concerned you will get only Edge.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chuckwalla:
Hey guys,

I've been having this strange problem for the last couple days. After being on for a couple hours my phone loses the ability to connect to the internet. The 'H' icon shows up and I am able to connect to wireless networks, but when I try to load a web page or do anything that requires internet it acts like it is not connected.

If I restart my phone I am able to use the internet again, but only for a couple of hours, it always ends doing the same thing. I have tried a couple radios and the same thing happens.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Relevant info:

ROM: CM7.1

Kernel: TalonACE 1.1.3 BFS

Radio: 26.10.04.03_M

RIL: 2.2.0018G
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
This issue has been creeping up lately. Some have this issue when using bfs kernels with cm. So I would say switch to cfs.

One caveat I also have seen people have the issue on cfs but not as frequent.

Switching to CFS seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the help.

I've been trying to get a a version of Dungeon Hunter 2 running on my Kindle Fire 1st Gen for a few days. It's running AOKP 4.2.2 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1912485. After doing some research it turned out the version I paid for isn't compatible...go figure. So I found 1.0.3 and not only does it install, download the files, and then launch but no force closes either! Unfortunately, all I see is the bottom left hand side of the front page of the app. I've gone so far as to decompile the apk with apk multitool, edit the Androidmanifest.xml about 100 different ways, and then recompile, sign and install it but I cannot get it to shrink down to the 1024x600 resolution Kindle Fire. Anyone out there have any luck running this game on 4.2.2 or have any idea what else I can try? Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] petesavva:
Hey everyone,

I am on the fence with these two excellent machines.

I've had 10.1 tablets in the past including the iPads, but found them too be a bit cumbersome.

What's your guys' take on:

Display quality between the two?

Exynos vs Tegra?

Keeping in mind that the tablets will be used for:

pdf manipulation

music

light video use

web

email

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nirogu325:
This...has been repeatedly discussed so I'll be brief. Tegra has a weird lag when in landscape (8.9 issue), Exynos does not. Display quality, if you googled the 8.9 and 7 specifications you would notice the 8.9 has more resolution than the 7 model. Today's tablets are very capable and fast for those functions you listed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] petesavva:
...

thanks for the reply.

i've been researching the last few days, but after a while it all starts to look the same, that's why i asked....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bdfull3r:
In terms of raw power, any dual cor eprocessor will handle the BASIC tasks you are looking to do

In terms of Phones Exynos looks faster but i don't know how that compares to tablets

For gaming, Tablet games are more often then not optimized for the Tegra 2 platform, TegraZone games make the most out of the processor and they looks phenominal. I don't know how well Exynos does gaming on a tablet

8.9 has a higher resolution which makes videos much easier. Also the speakers on the 8.9 are really good fo a tablet. I am not picky on audio but i use it when i play Oblivion and it overpowers the tv half the time
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] varsas:
I think the larger screen is beneficial for internet browsing. I would definitely try them both out for usability i.e. screen size and weight to see if the $70 price difference is worth going for the larger one. Personally the 8.9's size of a hardback book is perfect.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nirogu325:
The 7+ has a MicroSD slot, whereas the 8.9 does not. Besides that, it is the same beast in a different shell size. In the end it is up to you. Consider the screen resolution, portability and the size and possibly the MicroSD slot in your case. For me and my small hands 8.9 is the perfect balance, but for bigger hands, some may prefer the 10.1 for example.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] petesavva:
...

Thanks for all the replies.

I just came back from BB. Played with both machines and I have to say that the 8.9 fits my bill better.

The 7+ is great too, but it was just too small.

Thanks again!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tri0xinn:
I've had both.. the old 7 and the new 8.9 and I definitely like the little larger screen.. I would say the only physical improvement I could see for the 8.9 would be a little different aspect ratio.. towards the ipad.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] polbit:
I have the original GT7 and I just got the 8.9. While I do like the new GT, I really wish that the 7.7 was out - that sounds like the perfect tablet for my needs...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] petesavva:
8.9

8.9 it is! i've been playing with both 7+ and 8.9 and really like the larger one.

I wonder when ICS will come for it....

Thanks for all the replies
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] guthrien:
I'm trying them both out myself. I guess the 7in. form works for some, what with the new Fire getting the press (this is far superior to that not surprisingly!), but with this resolution it just doesn't fit my needs between a tablet and phone. I kept reading in reviews how much faster than the other tabs it was but really what I'm noticing is the increased heat you feel when its zipping along. The remote software is legitimately cool though, easy to set up, nicely designed and a pleasure to use.

The 8.9 is a definite keeper. Especially with the new Overcome kernel. It's the most beautiful android tablet I've ever used, even more comfortable and light than the iPad. I can't believe how nice the design is, I really hope the 8.9 form factor sticks with Samsung.

One important point though: Tegra 2 absolutely blows at playing HD video unless transcoded properly. This is a huge flaw with most Honeycomb tablets IMO. The 7 Plus eats any video you throw at it since it doesn't have that mediocre processor.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] coffeeboy:
Can I use peel remote software from gtab 7 plus on gtab 8.9?where can I get it?

No, as 8.9 does not have an IR port.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] goenieg:
I've had a 7" inch HTC Flyer myself, I found it too small ( that and the screen sucks as does HTC support, but that's another discussion I guess)

I have the 8.9 now, and I love it (especially for reading, and annotating docs)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Diversion:
I was stuck trying to decide between the two.. I love a 7" form factor.. but I was disappointed with the 1024x600 resolution on the 7".. Loved the pixel density and ability to fit a lot more content on the 8.9".. but the 4210 Exynos SOC inside the 7 plus is night and day clock for clock against the Tegra2.

I ended up with the 7 Plus .. Best Buy has a return policy until mid-Jan (holiday return policy) so if I change my mind or some other Tablet meets my needs better I can always exchange.

The 7 Plus' hardware will provide more future proofing than Tegra2 in the long run. The Galaxy Tab 7.7 hits a home run in all aspects.. An even faster clocked 4210 at 1.4ghz.. The higher resolution 1280x800, and more pixel density due to the 7.7 screen size over a 8.9".. Not to mention the even more battery efficient Super AMOLED+ display. Otherwise, you also get a LIGHTER tablet and BIGGER battery capacity in the 7.7.

I'll definately be upgrading to it when it comes out. For now, the 7+ remains the fastest OUT-OF-THE-BOX Honeycomb tablet in existence.

Even overclocked Tegra2's can barely keep up with a 1.2ghz 4210.

I just wish there was development going on for the 7+. It's nearly non-existent because the 7+ is a stepping stone to bigger and better things (Tegra3 and faster Exynos) ... that said, a lot of people are just holding out for the next generation of tablets.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okeefj09:
i attempted to flash my captivate from stock 2.1 to fasty 2.2 with odin, I read through a bunch of different forums and i thought i had everything set up properly and then flashing afterwards when i attempted to boot up the phone it would flash the at&t screen like its going to turn on repeatedly. so the thing with the phone is that none of the button combinations work to get the emergency recovery or download mode so i was forced to make a jig. i made the jig and it work putting into download mode but the problem from here is i cant get it to connect to my pc, when i plug it in i get a "USB Device Not Recognized" message and neither odin or heimdall will recognize it. i do not think its the cord because the cord im using now has been the cord i was using beforeand my phone was always recognized while i was using it. i hope someone may have some insight for me on this problem or i will be losing the nicest phone ive ever had that i only got to use for a few short weeks, someone pleas help.:(

Heimdall drivers / Samsung drivers conflict with each other. Try removing the Heimdall drivers and reinstalling the Captivate drivers (don't forget to reboot ur computer). Then right click and run as administrator the Odin 1st. Then connect ur usb to the back of ur computer if u r on a desktop or 1st port if u r on a laptop. then connect ur phone in download mode and see if Odin recognizes it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I'd say that you shouldn't worry about doing master clear from Odin. If you can fully boot to whatever ROM you're using (even stock), there is an option in the settings menu to format your Internal SD card, which is the same thing as a master clear.

However, if you're just trying to flash stock, don't worry about the master clear at all. Just flash the stock rom and be on your way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okeefj09:
well the phone is completely bricked, before it was just repeatedly rebooting when i turned it on cause i failed to flash to the rom properly because im extremely new to the whole "phone modifying" thing and i was rushing which is not what your suppose to do cause these are very delicate processes, but now after plugging into the computer and attempting to master clear with odin when i turn it on i get the whole (cellphone Icon)..!..(computer icon) thing on my screen, i can still put it into dl mode from here with the jig i made but with my extreme noobness to this type of thing im not sure what to do still.. i dont want to mess up my phone any worse than i already have (if thats at all possible) and its just looking like i turned my phone into a paper weight at this point.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Don't panic - the phone--

/!\

--pc screen will work the same way as download mode.

Just start up odin, let it settle, hook up you phone with that screen on, and see if Odin sees it. If it does, try the flash again.

If not, go through the steps in my "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" post that's in my signature.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
You're not bricked. Master clear isn't going to fix your issue, and even if you wanted to run it, it only works with the phone booted which you obviously can't do. You're still all good.

1. Breathe.

2. Right click on Odin One Click and "Run as Administrator."

3. Put phone in download mode with your jig.

4. Plug the USB cord into the back of the computer (never a hub).

5. Wait for odin to recognize the phone (box turns yellow in Odin).

6. Wait a few more seconds to make sure nothing crashes.

7. Click start. Don't touch your phone, unplug it, run any other computer programs, or generally touch anything until the flash is complete. It will say "Done" and the phone will reboot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okeefj09:
okay i just want to flash back to stock if i can get it connected, if you can point me into the direction of the simplest way of doing this it would be greatly appreciated, i would love to learn how to do all of this fancy rom flashing stuff but bricking my phone is too much of a risk you know?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
That's bad advice. And you have obviously never tried it.

First. You don't remove heimdall drivers. You just use the closed source Samsung installer

Second. As an open source community, with an open source system like android, recommending using Odin over heimdall is just plain wrong. Without open source you wouldn't even have an android. Open source supports open source. No one should support closed source

Third, all that is required is to use another USB port. The open source libusb drivers were made right. Samsung drivers blow away the entire system. Libusb is only installed on a single USB port. The rest still work with Odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Didn't know until this post...http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19998299&postcount=115 that it was possible to use Odin and Heimdall without removing one or the other drivers. This was never stated in the Heimdall Thread in the Captivate Android Development Forum or the Heimdall website or the Read Me, that I have seen.

And I have even admitted that I have not tried Heimdall. -- Here... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19995597&postcount=113

And I can only recommend what I know works. Odin is what I use and I have not had any problems occur that could not be resolved. And there are stated risks with both Odin and Heimdall. It is up to the individual user to choose which he uses and to understand that if they brick their phone, that is the risk that they were willing to take.

I use (support, if u must) Odin. I am not an "Ultra Open Source" guy as you appear to be (have u never used Odin?). I will keep using Odin and maybe one day give Heimdall a try, because I am not anti-Heimdall at all. Until then I will try to give the best advice I know to help others, just as I have received help from many.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
If you're ultra-android, then you need to be ultra-open-source. Open Source development is what keeps our community alive. You have the right to request the source code for every ROM created on these forums because they are based on GPLV2 software.

Of course I've used Odin... I would never recommend it to anyone because it's not safe to use for a beginner. Heimdall One-Click has 6 points of safety over Odin.

Prove to me that Odin does what it's supposed to. Prove to me that Odin does not have a bot-net installed. Prove to me that Samsung can't just flip a switch and cause a brick on any given device when it's connected to Odin. Prove to me that any Odin One-Click is what it says it is without flashing it... You can prove all of these things with Heimdall.

Here's the source tree for Heimdall One-Click, One-Click UnBrick, and Heimdall One-Click Packager http://heimdall-one-click.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ You can inspect the code for malicious content. On top of that, a finished One-Click is in an executable JAR format. This means it can be unzipped and each file can be inspected for malicious content and/or virus scanning.

Recommending Odin is not only against the moral fabric of this community, it's also risky. I don't know of a single brick that Heimdall One-Click has caused.... However people make a full-time job out of recovering bricks caused by Odin.
