[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
Noticed that sometimes no matter how careful i was about swyping the correct word, it would come out wrong.

I checked "show complete trace" in swypes settings to see where i was messing up, and i noticed something much worse than my own mistakes.

Sometimes, my swype sensor goes nuts for no reason. You can see the trace jumping all over even though my finger is moving in a straight line. Heres a screenshot of just moving my finger left and right to see how the trace jumps everywhere:

normal trace

crazy trace

Sometimes its worse, but it makes swyping very frustrating. Im wondering if this is a touchscreen issue, and not just confined to swype. I have had trouble in the past moving desktop icons around, and it seemed like something was just off.....

anyone else have this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
My screen seems to be 'off' every so often. Most often near the top quarter of my screen when in portrait. Even in landscape it's stays off. So I know it's not software.

Swype messed up for me too a couple times. More jagged than even what you posted. Though it cleared up after an evening or so. Though most times I use SwiftKey. So it could still be doing that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
thank god im not the only one. Im starting to think i might just have a bad phone. This did this to me on cm and stock. And yes ive had super jagged lines too, i just couldnt replicate it for the screenshot.

What other issues have u had with your device (battery), and is your screen abnormally dim?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Just that screen issue. I exchanged the phone once, only because of screen issues. Dead pixel and touch was off by a bit on the top and bottom of the screen.

I feel bad with all the issues you're having with yours. Mine has been great on nearly everything.

Hopefully you'll get yours figured out. I'm regularly on here as I'm recovering from surgery. Literally nothing else to do. Feel free to message me if you have a minor issue that isn't quite thread worthy. Gives me something to do.

swype sensor? :)

tell me, is it plugged in when it is messing up? or does it become worse when plugged in. i found that i had a defective charger and the "cursor" or where it was registering y input would jump erratically around the screen! eventually my phone died and i had o get it replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Nope, plugged in or not it doesn't mess up anymore. Hopefully my phone won't die 0.o

Think I've finally got some issues straightened out. Battery life is now incredible (literally the best ive ever seen on a phone) running cm7, and havent had issues with swype since last night.

Will report back if it happens again/my phone craps out. Fingers crossed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
spoke too soon. got home and while typing while the phone was charging i got this:

it seemed really bad, but what ive noticed is sometimes its worse than others, so its not just good or bad, but varying degrees of bad.

Battery life seems fixed, but i cant learn to live with this either. I might try to swap it at radioshack before by 14 (or 30 days) is up. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
im telling you, its the charger. im actually using my old moto charger an i havent had any problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
for me it does it when my phone is plugged in charging
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
agree with some now. Ive only noticed it when plugged in.

Is this rom specific, or does it happen to every rom? I sill have a month to exchange if i need to.

Im using the newest CM7 KANG build btw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joesixpack1969:
This generally happens with non original chargers, feeding the wrong current and driving the touch sensor insane, is what I've heard... That explanation worked for me. No erratic behaviour with original charger, but crazy behaviour with the blackberry charger...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Can also occur with the original charger if plugged into noisy power.

I almost thought my Infuse was defective when I first got it because I tried to charge it using the factory charger on an inverter - that combo made the touchscreen VERY unhappy (as in, unusable, you couldn't even unlock the phone)

Factory charger in a real wall outlet was fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PatriotXT92:
I've had the same kind of problem before when I was using my cousin's droid x charger(probably wasn't the best idea any way). It would cause swype to get really unhappy, even worse than yours. I have not experienced it with the stock charger but then again I rarely use my phone while it is plugged in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
hmmmm, well currently using my captivate wall charger/usb cord. Ill have to try it with the original when i get a chance to switch them.

They looked exactly the same to me.

If this does end up being the case, where can i buy a stock usb cord, if i need extras?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DJSLINKARD:
Mine does it while plugged in with the stock charger. its almost impossible to text sometimes while its plugged in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
anyone considering returning phone? Is this cause for concern? Do all phones do this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joesixpack1969:
My Atrix was even worse at that...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It may be more of a function of how "clean" your wall power is.

As I said - mine works fine on the stock charger at home, but it basically froze the touchscreen when connecting the stock charger to an inverter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 800xl:
I had the exact experience with my GSII. Took it out of the box on the way home with it, plugged it into an inverter while I fired it up the first time, and thought I had gotten a defective phone. Touching the screen to slide off the stock lockscreen it looked like I was shaking all over the place. Typing was impossible. The stock charger did the same. I also got no in call audio, but that could have been from the touch screen being freaked out by any slight touch. Unplugged the phone and it was perfectly fine.

I later found one of my old USB chargers did the same thing on wall power. I'm now using a USB lighter plug charger on the go and it works fine. The inverter I have is an older black and decker 400watt and it tests out to be as good as it ever was. Must be something in samsung phones that really dislikes anything but a nice clean sine wave power output.

Has anyone tried the new Rearth Slim cases? I am considering buying it. I can't post links because i don't have enough posts, but just search Rearth

there's the link for anyone else who wants to take a look.

I haven't tried this one so I can't help you but I figured i would post the link for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mmtrago:
ive had it since mid october...it was the closest to incipio because they didnt have a case out yet...its all i need...slim..one rubber piece..easy on and off...does the job for me...id go for incipio though..theres comes with screen protectors
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nizda1:
I've had the rearth case for about 2 months, I like it except when I got it it was slightly loose not enough for me to care but now its loosened to the point where the case is starting to cover the camera and if I push it up the mic and lower speakers are halfway covered

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geomax45:
@nizda1:

Are you talking about the Ringke or the Ringke Slim? I have both. The Ringke is soft and pliable. I can see it loosening up. The Slim is quite rigid and snaps onto the corners of the phone. The top and bottom are covered, along with the corners, but the sides are exposed down to the controls. This is quite a slim case!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nizda1:
Yea I was, just checked out the slim looks nice, how do you like it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
Ooo, I kinda like this one! Can make our black units, pretty much white and it covers the whole back! But $25...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EpicEric:
I've had it on since since day 1. Love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geomax45:
I like it better than anything I've tried to date. It's about the "least" amount of case that I've seen. About the only thing that I would change is that being glossy, the back is beginning to show some very minor scratching from being set down on hard surfaces. If Rearth offered it in a matte finish I'd be all over it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Just bought that case in Noble Black. Will review it upon arrival.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
i have used this case and the SGP Neo.

This case is excellent. It's as minimal as can be, fits well, and looks good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hammer7t:
Good case! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Good to hear fellas.

It'll be here tomorrow, according the tracking from the shipping. Anything I ever ordered that goes through the post service always arrives the day after it goes through this one center.

Is it a little sad that I'm mildly excited for this to come?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Andrew149:
Guys just to let you know after three months of having this case with my Atrix it was stretching out also the texture came off the case kind of like a clear coat coming off on a car

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
This is a hard plastic case. Its not going to stretch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Andrew149:
your right i was think of there silicon one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
Nice find!

Just a quick question to anyone who actually has the case -- does it cover the top mic next to the headphone jack, or is the cutout correct for our version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
This, along with their newer silicone case for the i777 are supposed to have the correct placement for the noise cancelling microphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brisknfade:
Just got mine in. It does have the mic cut out next to the headphone jack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Just got mine. Overall I'm digging it. Case is thin and probably doesn't offer much in the way of protection buy that's the price to pay for looks. It being black shiny hard plastic I already see two scratches. Just got to make sure not have the case in the same pocket as my keys and ill be good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mailman64:
alternative to casemate barely there. nice minimal case just too glossy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rlarsen462:
The silicone Ringke causes massive echoing for the other caller despite mic cutouts. Is this one any better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mailman64:
never had that problem with either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rlarsen462:
Problem goes away instantly during call if case is removed...

But I think it's already been established that some phones don't have the problem in general so count yourself one of the lucky ones I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nizda1:
Just got the slim also, definitely nice case. The silicone one just wasn't holding up. 2 months of use the case was really loose. Anyway slim cut outs all fine everything good I agree it will probably eventually scratch up but we'll see. Also I really wish they would just sell the case without screen cover etc for atleast what the silicone costs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thejanitor86:
i have the silicone one. though i bought it when the upper mic hole placement wasn't correct for the ATT version. Just a quick slice with a xacto knife and it was all good though. No echoing from my case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
got this a couple of days ago - took some getting used to compared to Casemate barely there, but I like it now. If you need to remove case frequently (I do to use the dock) it's kind of a pain, but aside from that I like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rlarsen462:
What do you mean "wasn't right"? My mic is uncovered (there's a hole for it), but it still echos like crazy with the case on. I am at the point where I might cut the back out of the case just to appease the poor people I talk to on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
No one has complained to me about my voice echoing on phone calls since Ive had the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
This really doesn't make sense (to me).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rlarsen462:
It's a known issue with some Galaxy S II's and these kinds of cases...technically I have a defective phone but there's nothing I can really do about it because I can't be without my phone for the length of time it would take to get it fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EpicEric:
Order this case on the day the phone was released.

Their site said "for AT&T" so I thought it be all good.

Received the case. Awesome look/feel/fit. Exactly what I was looking for.

Unfortunately the lil mic hole was covered. This case came in the box on the right.

I contacted Rinkge and passive aggressively posted on their Facebook page (Great case!..but looking forward to the new one you’re sending.:D)

2 days later I receive the new case with a lil hole for the mic. This case came in the box on the left.

Unfortunately the hole is aligned incorrectly by a few centimeters. :(

So now I’m like whatever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blackice168:
anyone know what the red and black rubber rings are for? I got the case and it came with extra connector plugs and these red and black rings which i cant figure out what they're used for!

I was about to ask the same question. This case is extremely nice though.

Sent from my i777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iteam:
Love It!

I am very picky and like slim cases that slide in and out of a pocket easily and after weeks of searching for the perfect case for me, as not many are available for the I777 for whatever reason, I ordered it, received it promptly, and it did not dissapoint. I love it!! I would reccomened this product to anybody that likes slim cases and an excellent quality product / design. I got it in white and it looks and fits better than I ever expected!;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
Case is easily one of the best I ever had for a phone. Looks great, doesn't add much thickness at all to the phone. Looks like it almost came with the phone direct from the factory.

Have had no echo problems during phone calls as reported to me by friends.

The only thing I did to the case was removed the headphone jack and micro usb caps as I thought they were ill fitting. All you have to do is just pull at them and they come right off.

Would recommend to anyone on here. Well worth the price.

Funnily enough, The case got hated on by a friend that has none other than......an iPhone 4 lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pseud0logik:
I bought this case less than a month ago. The fit, look, and feel are all excellent but I had a couple of issues right out of the box. For one, there was no cut out for the top mic. Also, the cap for the headphone jack was extremely difficult to remove, so I ended up removing both caps from the case, which definitely detracted from the sleekness of the design.

Yesterday I noticed that the case had cracked in the upper right hand corner. I've only taken it off once since I put it on and haven't dropped or miss-handled it. I sent Rearth a message asking for a replacement. We'll see.

Taking these issues into consideration, I wouldn't recommend it at the $25 price point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
Mine has the cutout for the mic, the caps were a breeze to remove, and I take it off and put it back on multiple times a day. Sounds like you got an old/wrong version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Just ordered this case (Alpine white) based on the positive thoughts here thanks guys. Will give my impressions when I receive it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sawah:
I would love to hear more little reviews for this case. I have an incipio ngp but the power button is near impossible to push. I'd like to get a slim in black, but I'd love to hear opinions and see peoples pictures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] moore808:
I received my case a few weeks ago and this is easily the best case I've had for a phone. The reason a lot of us got the SGS 2 was because of how slim it was. This is the first case that lets it still be slim. Everything fits perfectly and overall I am 100% happy with the purchase.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nizda1:
I have a few different cases, however I bought the original tpu like version used it for about 2 months until it stretched and became too loose to really enjoy. At the same time the slim was released and they were nice enough to even give me 5$ off cause of my previous issue(happened on another case from them diff phone). Im still enjoying this case since it came out, no issues with missing cutouts everything is great. I primarily use a bt headset so I keep the cap on audio jack I just dont jam it too hard in there. For me anyway this helps me out as I've noticed with other cases/phones when you rarerly use the jack it can get some lint or particles of whatever in there, I baby my phone so... All in all this case is my personal favorite I hate bulky cases but thats just me. I even had a friend ask me if I was going to put a case on my phone heh. No echo or mic distortion only issue honestly is the price. 25$ is way to high for this case, I could care less about spending the money if it was worth it but I didnt need the screen protector they included etc.. should have been priced at most same as other case at 16$ or less, when you take everything out of the box you cant believe you just spent 25$ on a piece of plastic :) . Regardless I would buy another one if something happened great slim case

You're right, I did get the wrong version. They acknowledged this and that the case was faulty based on the photo I sent them of the damage. They sent me a replacement immediately. Too bad the replacement they sent sent me is for a Galaxy Note. Why is it so hard to get the right case from these guys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sawah:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ExTREmE99:
i got my case earlier this week and while it says on the box Galaxy S2 AT&T, the top mic hole is not aligned and leaves my callers with a muffled voice when i have the case on. if it matters, i bought the case directly from the rearthe website last week. it also has a little cutout on the side for the international version's strap mount that we dont have on the at&t version. does anyone else have that? im thinking i got the international case
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
It has happened to others - contact them and they should send you another one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:

I was going to order a white one based on all the great reviews, but they are out of stock. Hopefully they restock quickly...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ExTREmE99:
*shrug* they said they were all the same after i took numerous pics. they did however refund me and told me to keep the case. fine with me, considering the back of the case attracts scratches like CRAZY. only a day of casual light usage on hard surfaces and the back already has scuffs/scratches that seem like the clear coat is wearing away. time to buy the incipio feather!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EpicEric:
Yeah, so I got mine and had the same issue. I replied back to the order conformation email with pictures and also posted a comment on their facebook page. The replied back to my email and sent me one with the mic hole in alignment. This was shortly after launch of the gs2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pseud0logik:
Update: Rearth finally sent me the correct version for my phone. I got about 3 weeks of regular usage out of it before it started to crack like the last one. No drops, no extreme temps, just putting it in and out of my pocket and setting it on the desk/nightstand. I just ordered a Trident Perseus to replace it.

I don't recommend this case or the silicone Ringke, that one lasted 2 months before the surface started to wear off and the sides loosened up significantly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
If anyone else was holding out for Rearth to restock the Alpine White version, we're out of luck. Here's the reply I got from their support this morning when I inquired:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giliav:
Hi guys,

I've been owning and using my DHD for nearly a year now and loving every minute of it.

Last week a new issue started to show: people calling me got directly to my voice mail.

After 3 days of checks and fixes with my call provider (blaming them for the issue) - they asked me to switch the Sim card on the phone with another line I own. To my amazement - the new sim card became unreachable and went to voice mail directly.

Since then I tried:

1. Complete Wipe and burned a new Snes based ROM (my older one was MIUI). Didn't help.

2. Complete Wipe and burned a AOSP (LordRom based kernel) ROM. Didn't help.

3. Upgraded the Radio and even RIL to the latest stable one - no change.

4. Changed the settings to 2G only, GSM only and even hand picked my ISP - no change.

5. Installed "no lock" and activated it to prevent the lock screen.

All of the above were done without any restore (only clean ROM) to ensure none of my installed apps were to blame.

The strange part is that if I let the phone go to standby and turn on the screen I can see an X on the reception area (hence "no reception") but after 5 seconds it switches to a full reception bars (and I can get calls). So calls come in only when I'm with the phone turned on and when it turns off the screens it acts "as if" it goes to airplane flight mode.

In addition - regardless of the ROM - it keeps going 8 minutes ahead in time whenever it losses reception and also eats up battery like crazy.

Do you guys think it's software (maybe Radio rom) related?

Or should I take it a part to look for a physical hardware problem?

Thanks!
