Too many people with too much time on their hands and too little idea of what they want. (I count myself among you).

I had an HD2 for two years (4 months international, remaining T-mobile). The number of developers, ROM, kernels and themes was ridiculous. I became a flash junkie, sometimes flashing several times a day, usually not finding one that had the performance I craved. October and November 2011 there were several, each using Bravia engine, that suited me. Ultimately I cut back on flashing for no other reason than I found one or two than gave me what I wanted and it was so much of an exercise in (f)utility.

More ROM's will come - they did with the awesome HD2 and they will with our awesome device.....give it time, stop whining. You're going to scare off the talent if you keep it up. Would you put up with the histrionics under similar circumstances?

Even if we don't get a boatload of ROM, the one's we're getting are fast and stable. Be glad for what you have. Show some humility and restraint.

Sgs2 forum...

Is dying?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
Why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stacio88:
Dude there is nothing going on in our forums. I'm out and getting the G Nexus most definitely!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
There is nothing going on in a lot of forums. In the last 2 months I've gone from the sgs4g to a sensation to an amaze to here and this same thread is in all of them. Given the amount of phones out there and the rate they get released makes dev support spread thin. The days of 20 devs on one phone are gone. Couple this with the coming ics release and that its the holiday season would most likely slow things down a bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
Some devs got free galaxy nexus from rootzwiki. They are playing with new toy. Give it time, they will come back. Think of it like a vacation and not abandonment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MeatyCoins:
same, went from senastion to amaze to gsm evo3d to here

but the senation has to be one of the most active besides the hd2 lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wannagofast:
Yes, yes, and yes...I completely agree with you.

Oh, and to all the whining people starting these threads...What do you really expect as a result of starting a "waaa, waaa, I don't have 5 different ROMs to flash every day to keep me occupied and all I know how to do is flash a zip in CWM. So where are the devs?" Ya I guess "Super Dev" has not gotten around to reading this thread, or the 50 started before it, and come save the day. So give it a rest people it will happen when it happens. And, if you can't appreciate the GS2 for what it is as a phone, along with the stock OS that was running on the phone the day you bought it, and tried the few (but really nice) ROMs we allready do have...well there are many more phones to pick from. Mabey troll the XDA section of any given phone and count the ROMs listed and then make your choice if flashing ROMs is what makes you happy.

Sorry for the rant. But, people expecting a smorgasbord of ROMs to flash after buying a phone and then whining about the lack thereof is ludicrous.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FiveOhFox:
Just getting started. Wait till ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
It sucks that not one of the devs have updated their Roms to the 2.3.6 base with wi-fi calling, maybe all the devs here really were just kanging off of one certain person cause since his rom has slowed its funny how all of a sudden everyone else's has too...... Bout to go back to my HD2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Still waiting patiently....

I have had my replacement GS2 for 3 weeks now and haven't rooted it yet because seriously nothing has changed as far as ROMs with this device. Still no fixed CM7, still no ICS port, and the TW ROM's are just copied over and over variations of either Juggernaut or Beast Mod??? Why is this phone just so damn unsupported??? It's the most boring phone (XDA wise) I have ever owned. The HD2 even has a beta ICS port??? That is some sad **** when an old Windows phone has more and better ROM's than this hardware heavy beast. Zzzzzzz.

Complaining about services that devs provide FOR FREE to the community ? Learn how to do it yourself or refrain from posts like this and just wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] v8dreaming:
Try dewizzed or gingersnap or something.

I doubt CM7 is going to come due to the CM team working on CM9 for the most part.

My first Android phone was the HTC Incredible. It took MONTHS before there were more than a couple of sense roms out. It took quite a while before CM was there and stable and even longer for MIUI.

Sit back and chill.

You can either wait like the rest of us or learn to build your own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
Either sell your phone and get a nexus s or hd2 if you want stuff to flash or shut up. Your thread complaining could easily make it so devs want to work less if not at all, on stuff for this phone. Learn to dev yourself before you complain about stuff not being available or go pay one of the devs a wage to make roms for you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] derrikc:
It's simple. We don't have the kernel source yet! Development will pick up very quickly once Samsung releases the source (or it leaks.) Developing a kernel from scratch is no small feat and many devs likely don't feel it's worth their time when Samsung will inevitably release it.

Its sad cuz this device is so new.. Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nismo13:
I'm not worried, it will pick up as soon as we have ics, that's what I'm waiting for anyway
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
seems like you missed the few post the DEVs said they will concentrate only on the ICE builds

so updates on the old 2.3.x will stop or be extremely slow

it only makes sense to not waste time on the old stuff when the new stuff is being cooked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
I doubt it this phones development is ruined by little kids and mods who let it get that way ....damn shame cause I love this phone, if you're looking for ICS to be a reincarnation of development for this phone then don't hold your breath. I think its over the best devs have either moved on or been banned
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jerrold24:
Nooo support

Where's all the support the Galaxy series are like the only phones with no ICS support, I should've stayed with my Evo 3D.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Watcher64:
<begin rant>

I wish I had a penny for everyone that whines about no ICS YET, I'd be buying half of Samsung by now ....

No Kernel Source NO Real ICS, Samsung said Q1, it is still Q1 ...

Can a MOD please consolidate all these "Where is ICS" threads ... AGAIN ...

If you buy a phone for what IT "Will" or "is supposed to get" , you will always be disappointed, buy it because it has great specs, everything else is gravy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Source code has been released awhile ago. It was released within the release of this phone. Samsung Ics source code will release when it's officially released on phones. The only people that has access to our phone aosp is the cm team. The 8660 surf build. So don't expect anyone to build Ics roms till they release that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
I agree overall support for this phone I'd lacking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
instead of wasting time and energy complaining about Dev

why don't you learn how to code, and compile your own ROM?

then you'll get cool and famous, and you'll see how much effort and time it's needed to maintain a ROM, while waiting for a bunch of beggar complain about no support
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jlaigo2:
I am always developing for my ROM "Android Zombie" and update a couple times a week. Not only that I listen to request or complaints and modify accordingly. As far as ICS there is nothing that can be done till Samsung fixes issues related to the hw.
[EVO 4G General] Royalfox:
So I downloaded tons of music because I accidentaly deleted the folder on my phone, so I named the songs 1 by 1:

But here is how they appear on the music player:

Can anyone help me? I don't like having numbers on the song titles

My EVO is Freshhh!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
You could try renaming the folder to simply 'Music,' also I don't know why the problem exists because I can rename a file, and there won't be any numbers in it, unless the song has numbers in the title. Just double check that the name change actually happened, and wasn't left as a previous entry.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Renaming the music FILES will not change the ID3 tags in the mp3s, which is what the music player uses to get the title, artist, track number, etc. You need to get an id3 editor and change the id3 tags, I would recommend doing it on a computer as its much easier than on the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znqidd:
i found my galaxy note has the exchange email issue. it doesnt sync the email automatically. it seems that function is sleeping that if i go the app of email it will refresh to get new email in my account, after that sync function works well for a period(push automatically). However, maybe after 4-5 hours or longer. automatic push function will stop (sleep again)!!!! is that the bug of email app? have other people meet the same question with me? anybody have any solution of that issue?

that account works fine in galaxy tab 7, no delay, receive email on time.

Do an exact Google search for "Fail to sync with Exchange ActiveSync on an Android" (I'd post the direct link but the forum won't let me) - top result should be on the office365 site, which details lots of similar issues, and lots of suggestions. Unfortunately none of them worked for me :(

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewxu:
Price?

Availability?

Size?

Pentile display?

Any other reasons?

Or are you getting it :P

Have a white sgs2, considering getting the nexus when it comes out on at&t with my upgrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
That's easy. I didn't get the Nexus because at the time I got the S2, the Galaxy Nexus didn't exist (back in May).

But I'd definitely take it over the S2. I do have some slight reservations about not having a microSD slot, but everything else about the device is just so nice...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
i didnt buy it because i own the s2

i wouldn't buy it even if i didnt own the s2

i will never get used to software keys
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewxu:
Software keys? What are those?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad the Cat:
.. .. .. LOL.

Anyways, those are the "Back" "Menu" and "Options" keys on the screen. They are really on the screen (in the system, software) but not outside it (hardware) and for most people it may be uncomfy

If i helped you, press thanks. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
It doesn't have a microsd slot, and from what I heard only a 16gb version would be released in the UK

I don't think my music collection is particularly large, but I won't even be able to fit my music onto just 16gb.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerman19:
Didn't get the Galaxy Nexus because it wasn't around when I got my SGSII, even if it was, I wouldn't have got it.

It could of been great, but alas it isn't. Before my SGSII 16GB seemed to be enough, but incidentally after loading my SGSII up, since it's a more capable phone, I've blown 16GB completely.

Software Keys? Doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, what ever you gained with the better res, is now mitigated by the keys!

No SD Card Slot? That decision was clearly made last thing on Friday.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcogger:
The Nexus is too big (the SGS2 is as large as I want to go) and, by the time you've allowed for the soft keys, the available screen area is only marginally bigger than the SGS2. Also, no ability to expand the memory.

If someone offered me a straight swap of a Nexus for my Galaxy S2 I'd turn them down...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ong.andrew:
I had to make a choice of getting an SGS2 or a Galaxy Nexus for a 21st birthday present recently, and decided against the Galaxy Nexus for a few reasons:

- The main reason is that the person receiving it uses her phone's camera to the exclusion of standalone cameras for her photos. I took a look around and saw the hideously grainy photos the Galaxy Nexus produces and decided it was unacceptable.

- Another reason is the early-adopter bugs that come with any freshly released phones. Some of the bugs that unfortunately plague, like sleep of death, would be scary for someone not expecting it to experience.

- The Galaxy Nexus is also priced higher than the SGS2, given that it's newer.

- For someone not fussed with updates, having a Nexus line phone doesn't matter.

If I were getting a phone for myself however, I would get the Galaxy Nexus :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewxu:
Haha oh you should have said on screen!

I thought you meant software keys like software licenses for apps or something :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewxu:
Yeah, I have a white sgs2 on at&t, and a upgrade waiting to be used... I don't know if I should get the galaxy nexus when it comes or just wait until after CES...

Decisions, decisions! The nexus s is still very solid, so the galaxy nexus should expect decent life as a relevant phone.

16gb bothers me a bit, the camera a little bit too... but HD and nexus make up for that.

Who knows - hopefully something knocks my socks off soon.

For now I could choose : HTC vivid, Samsung skyrocket, or LG nitro HD. All of them are great but none are good enough to pull me away from my albino sgs2 yet :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pachi72:
Screw Galaxy Nexus.. Lack of SD card and crappie camera didn't do it for me. And crappie GPU also.. Galaxy S 2 blows it away.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatonjb:
well. the Nexus was not out when i got the SGSII

BUT, reasons that I rather keep my SGSII, (I have an unlocked euro version)

1. its got a hardware button in the middle, , not the 4 buttons like the US version and not software like the nexus, i like to turn the phone on with that button.. bummed that it's a dead thing these days in the US market and in the ICS phones.

2. My SGSII is the smaller one, and its bigger then my Captivate, but smaller then the huge Nexus, i like the size just as it is.

3. I got the 2000mha batteries, and they are awesome, to me, it does not make the phone ANY bigger!

4. If I am not mistaken, the internal hardware is the EXACT same or close enough to being the same.

5. SD Card, I do a lot of Spotify stuff, but i like keeping stuff on my phone when I can't get cell reception.

6. Let face it people, ICS will be on the SGSII pretty soon! and it will be pretty much just as fast.

the gorilla glass is nice too , but i heard the nexus is just as good just not the same.

etc. etc. etc.

ohh and I am hoping that my next phone is an LTE phone, if AT&T gets LTE,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brendo:
Another of these threads...

The nexus wasnt out when i preordered my sgs2 (uk version)

The only thing i liked about nexus was screen res (screen size same when using softkeys)

Found camera better on sgs2. Ics coming. Hardware similar. Hate to lose even more hardware keys (still miss keyboard of my touch pro). Sd card expansion
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Because not everyone wants to throw out 500+ euros every time a new phone comes out?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
Well, I did get one. Even though I agree with most that has been said above, especially the price (expensive!!) and the fact that the camera is sub par. But, even though I was mildly impressed when I opened the box, after a few days playing with the Nexus I have to say that I don't miss my SGS2 (although I'm still not sure whether I'll sell the device). It's just so fast, something you'll notice after playing with it for a few days. Battery life is great and the screen gets better everytime I look at it. But most of all, it's just pure AOSP goodness! Of course you can root your phone and install an AOSP rom, but my experience with the HTC Desire and SGS2 is that a custom AOSP rom is just never as good as the real deal. So that's why I'm really happy I bought the Nexus.

But! The SGS2 is great, no doubt. It's just a matter of taste. I would recommend the SGS2 to just about anyone, but not the Nexus. It's just for those who want to experience pure AOSP the way google intends it. And yes, it comes with flaws. For me it's worth it, for most I'd say it isn't...

-edit- forgot, the on screen buttons are great! They are easily getting used to and it looks gorgeous.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotshoaib:
Firstly, Galaxy Nexus was not out when i got my SGS2, ( May2011)

and i was tempted to get it when it was announced, but

Camera,(Yes pixel matters, when you bring photos on big screen),

No hardware home button( way i like to turn phone on),

Not thin and light wieght like SGS2, ( got used to thinness of phone and light wieght), Well, i like big screen thou,

and all temptation for nexus was gone, when news of ICS was confirmed for our SGS2 , and yeah , hardware is stil good, just lack of NFC, but is okey, some other better phone will come soon in 2012 summer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odm3xda:
a great question here is the my answer

because

1- i own s2 coming from iphone4 after the great disappointment that they did not release iphone5

2- price ! as samsung products always drops more than 35% just in a couple of weeks after release and keeps dropping more later (this is where i live; Kuwait)

3- so i think i should wait till iphone5 comes out to make a decision about buying another phone. i should stick to s2 for now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheiPhoneKiller:
Ide rather wait for an S3 than upgarde/downgrade to a galaxy nexus.Next year smartphones go quad core so whats the point any other phone now.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] nightmarebadger:
Fruit Ninja THD allows multiplayer? It didn't allow it on my phone, didn't try the tablet one yet though (had problems when I installed once, then I went with Fruit Slice).

Gravity Guy (up to 4 players)

TicTacToe, chess, checkers, connect4 ??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] ngoonee:
Gravity guy's multiplayer is multi-device, isn't it? I was looking for single-device stuff, thank anyway =)

Yes, I saw that, though I wouldn't want 4 people hammering my screen =p

Thanks, though these aren't exactly very social games except for connect4. Chess/checkers just take pretty long (gonna install them anyway).

So far what I've collected are:-

2 player whack a mole

Blokish (4 player only)

Glow Hockey 2 (this seems to lag)

Paper War for 2 players

PhoneFraze (not VERY fun... probably need to buy some of the expansions)

Will be checking out connect 4 and related. Have I pretty much exhausted the options yet? =)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
How about billiards? Pool is a fun single device 2 player game.
