[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Good chance.

Well, have a free "thanks", I missed the quote button.

It feels pretty solid. It's definitely on the heavier side as compared with Samsung phones, but I honestly don't really notice. Far more durable than my Galaxy S Captivate, and less finicky than the Desire HD line.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
I went from sgsII to Vivid and at first I was very worried I would hate the weight....

BUT after a week or so, at most, I didn't even notice and now, lighter phones like the sgsII and skyrocket feel extremely cheap.

Honestly the build quality of this phone is 2nd to only the iPhone 4 for quality feeling to me... Certainly a huge step above the flimsy plastic Samsung uses.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] backtothemac:
I had the GSII and the Skyrocket before my vivid. I have to say the dealbreaker for me with the Sammy's was Touchwiz. I hate it. I mean I hate it with a passion. All round the Vivid is more solid. It feels like it will last 2 years if need be.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] quarlow:
You should ask this question in the SGS II section, you would get the opposite answers.

You could ask in almost any forum, and always get a response of the forum you are in is better. I would bet even people in the Atrix 2 forum would say that mid range phone is better than both these high end phones.

You can cancel your upgrade, then you have 30 days to decide again. If you just swap phones, the clock doesn't start over, and you only get a few days to decide how you want to spend the next 18 months.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
I may end up trying the Vivid for a couple days to see how I like it. Otherwise, I'll wait on the upgrade.

And I agree, I'm probably asking for some biased responses here but thought I might find somebody who has had both phones that could help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
So since you both had both phones, can you shed any light on differences in speed and battery life between the 2 or is it really even noticeable?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Jesus, it's hilarious when people pull the "LOL, all phones have better build quality then Samsung phones." No, they all have worse, what you have is better build feel.

Drop your vivid from a 4 foot drop, I dare you, and watch it shatter into a million pieces and dent the **** out of your phone.

Me, I've dropped my skyrocket on concrete countless times, no shattered screen (gorilla glass) and the "flimsy" plastic your talking about, I have one minor scratch.

But, at least it's not as bad as the iOS fanboys and their all glass phone, can't drop that from a 6 inch drop without shattering the back.

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

I'm going to assume you mean Skyrocket and SGS II.

The SGS II has the powerful Exynos, so obviously in terms of raw horsepower, it obliterates ALL phones.

The skyrocket has an LTE radio, but honestly, the battery drain is no different then my Infuse, which had AMAZING battery life.

Now that the LTE radio and HSPA+ radio are the same radio (not 2 seperate radios like on VZW's LTE phones and the Vivid), it saves power as it can actually turn off the data when not needed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
It comes down to personal preference. Trying them out is key. Ever tried Samsung touchwiz? Compare it to HTC Sense and there is a huge difference. I'm not alone when I say Sense is the most polished and seamless UI on the market. It integrates many things that other UIs do not. The sheer amount of widgets sense has is pretty amazing too. All of which have a 3d effect when scrolling between screens.

If you will be heavily modding, I say go HTC. Otherwise you will get bored with touchwiz and aosp ROMs, there's hardly even a difference between the two. With HTC you will have a wide variety of sense and aosp roms.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] TheHunter1337:
I've used both- personally owning a vivid, and helping my friend with his gs2, rooting and romming it with cm7 for him.

The GS2 is extremely light, too light for me but I don't think it's truly a negative. His battery lasts longer than mine, however mine is faster. The camera boots faster and overall using the software feels solid. That is with the vivid locked and slowed down by sense to some extent.

One thing of note that no one states about the galaxy s 2. If you want to shoot 1080p video, it forces the sensor to zoom in almost all the way. If you don't believe me- http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1085142.html

The vivid does not zoom in at all, making for full sized 1080p footage. I prefer the screen IMMENSELY on the vivid, however I think the gorilla glass is a huge plus on the s2.

Really you need to weigh out what's important to you as both have positives and negatives. After using his galaxy s2 I was extremely happy that I decided to upgrade to the vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Battery-wise the Samsung wins, hands down... That's the vivds only weak spot.

Speed, in benchmarks the vjvid gets slaughtered... BUT in reality, its the smoothest phone I've ever used.... So if there is a speed difference it may exist with some graphics intensive games, but is irrelevant in my normal use.

And to answer the question of dropping the vivid... That's what a case is for.... The difference is by the time you put a case on the super thin super dainty sgsII, you loose any advantage of its thin profile.... While the vivid still feels like it was built to handle the zombie apocalypse.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Well, I bit the bullet today and picked up the Vivid. I have a week left of my 30 days and so far I like it. The UI does seem a bit more finished. Definitely a little bit of lag in it but I'm sure a kernel can fix that. :D

I do like the extra thickness of it. I feel more comfortable holding it. Much less like I'm going to drop it.

Now I have some things to learn. Can somebody point to me some good reading on how flashing, S-Off, etc all work on the HTCs? The Samsung scene is a bit different.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
No S-Off yet, but we still have perm root and can flash ROMs. All in one package right here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416836 ;)
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
I'm a new optimus black user, today i got my hands on RZrecovery that it is a beta ment to work with the optimus black, it's a recovery that works great on other devices, it comes in a .img file, usually i would install it using bootloader/fastboot, but I haven't see any traces of this tool on this device, any advice on how to install this recovery?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
since there is not fastboot interface for the p970, you have to use cmd line prompt and flash with adb. But I'm not sure if this is suitable for our phone
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
Using the cdm it's easy, how do you get the phone in bootload mode? excuse my ignorance
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
remove battery, holding V+, plug. though it's not needed for flashing recovery
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
On any ROM? I currently use stock froyo, thanks for the tip BTW =)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
on any rom I think yes though I'm not sure, but the recovery mod is flashable separatly of ROM. so yes, certainly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sniffs:
Any way to get back to the OTA path easily?

I'd like to not have to wipe or restore my old backup, but to perhaps re-apply some stock icons(metamorphs) and the stock font.. would that get me back to the OTA path?

I am trying to apply the OTA update and it's obviously failing..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
Seriously every Note user should flash Stock or a custom rom based on this KL7

Can get stock here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1413120

I like many others had many issues with Lag and now my note litterally flies...!

And I haven't even put AbyssNote on it yet!!!!!

Also this KL7 fixes a bluetooth keyboard Issue I had with every previous rom. I had to mix and mash bluetooth drivers from my gtab and a sgs2 to get my bluetooth keyboard working but all resolved with KL7!!!

Am quite chuffed!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ManicDVLN:
I never flashed a rom manually, how do I update my KKA firmware to this? Safest and least tampering way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shi3ld:
I would also appreciate knowing this!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dzontra11:
I just flash kl7...avesome..smooth like hell..fast..some minore changes but much faster then kl3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dan37tz:
Agreed, KL7 is amazing.

No more lag anywhere, it's so fluid in everything it does now.

Even in the settings menu where it would be kinda jerky when scrolling in KL3, it's butter smooth now for example in KL7.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
What's different about it to Kka, I'm on that and its smooth as already and it's android 2.3.6, isn't kl7 jut a regional version of kka?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] honf:
kl7 is the latest firmware version :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
Basically use Odin 1.85 or mobile Odin to update.

Then apply CWM and root using the script in the CFRoot link that is also linked in the KL7 Thread.

Check the KL7 Thread for more information.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
Only thing that still lags for me is phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
This firmware is available officially via Kies for me (German Note)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tytung2020:
What is 2.3.6 KL7? official rom? need root to do this? Couldn't we wait for 2.3.6 update from Samsung itself?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
It is a German official Samsung version can be found OTA (Over The Air) or via kies if your phone has/is flashed with a DBT code of CSC.

If you flash this after that you will wait for German updates only because region code will be DBT (debitel Germany) unlocked note for Germany.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Change CSC then do OTA

The last 2 updates were first rolled out for phones with the DBT CSC.

The latest KL7 firmware is available for phones with the German Debitel CSC.

To avail yourself of the update without using Kies, you can do an OTA(over the air) update.

Since the update is currently only available for phones set to the DBT CSC, if you change your phones CSC using this method here, you will then be able to update OTA by going to Settings > About Phone > Software update > Update. (Not all Note phones can have their CSC changed with this method)

Changing the CSC will reset your phone to factory settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dennishhh:
It's getting very difficult to keep waiting for this to be rolled out! I have KJ4 and have been waiting for what seems forever. Why doesn't Samsung just do this for all devices at once?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kyleji:

Mine is still kind of laggy with Go launcher, tw is a no go for me, lacks to many features. I've tested with ADW and it's buttery smooth but compared to golauncher adwd lacks features as well.

(I'm a fan of go-widgets)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] orbital247:
I flashed with Odin and in my opinion KL7 is much much more snappy than KKA. No lag or stuttering anywhere so far, really excellent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tytung2020:
I will wait for the official release at my place, don't want to turn my phone into a German phone ^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] venki5star:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] loonsy:
On Darkynote V2.1.4 no lags with go launcher ex.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
I noticed KL7 breaking the HW acel on the stock browser more often than KK9/KL3. I've had to manually terminate and re-run the browser for it to work. Im not sure whats triggering this so much.. never had this issue before.

It lags with my ADW Launcher EX + Live wallpaper + widget setup, I've yet to see a rom (stock or custom) to make my setup run go 100% smooth all the way. actually the lag is worse on that version compared to a stock KL7.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] linzgeneral:
How can you tell if its available through Kies and how do you download? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
Maybe lose the live wallpaper? Even the GNex lags with certain live wallpapers running.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shaan_k99:
Surely!!

Surely after flashing KL7 update the phone seems to have a much better response and lag seems to be minimal(lags a bit while waking from deep sleep).

Now o Rocket ROM v12 and it seems to be working perfectly...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jjamain:
why press power button

why press power button.just press home button. I don't hv deep sleep and wake-up problem. just now test it by pressing power button with no problem to wake up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ikhfa:
I still have the deep sleep problem. Everythg else seems better. But i have the deodexed zip-aligned version. Will get better definitely.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Im using a multilive wallpaper, no difference between using a non live since its just an automated wallpaper changer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jlarsson1978:
In my opinion Launcher Pro is very fast now, the fastest compared to ADW and GO.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dosher:
Using three fingers to scroll completely up or down entire pages no longer works for me in KL7 - can anyone else confirm?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] William Haven:
Can anyone else confirm this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] biggerswede:
Yeah I must agree, best rom version ever. Will try with abyssnote 2.6 and see if that boosts it even more. Would love to get the voodoo control program to work on the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
Anyone heard if/when Samsung will be pushing this OTA?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mobilehans:
It works as it should be, no problem here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] biggerswede:
Launcher Pro is the best launcher no lag and super fast. However if you like widgets then maybe others are better. I want a fast phone, editable grid and the option to hide programs in the app drawer are super. With KL7 I think TouchWiz is smoother and faster also.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikotttin:

You can flash a signed ruu through fastboot from a pc.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
Check out this link for the right ruu you want to use.

http://www.filecrop.com/ace-ruu-htc.html

Install HTC sync on pc. Boot phone into hboot and select fastboot then plug in phone and run ruu.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
You don't need volume up ;)

In bootloader just use the 4 keys bellow the screen:

The two first ones are up/down, back is back, the last one is validate.

Or, never use volume up but volume down to choose the option you want... (when you reach the last line it goes back to the first one).

... in fact I'm not sure to understand your problem...

If you were talking about vol down to enter boot loader, then restart to boot loader from your phone or use 'adb reboot bootloader'.

BIG SORRY: I read again... it's not rooted... just forget my answer ;)

I have done many searches :D please dont say its already done :-" I know there is a simple script which runs with script manager every time the wifi status changed and it works fine for aosp roms but the problem is with sense 3.5 ICS. in aosp roms the phone says wifi is turning on and after a sec script manager does the work and your good to go but in sense rom it says turning on and the phone hangs so script manager does not work for that!:confused: i found another solution for this problem here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372074 but its for nexus s i tried the file in that thread also other firmwares from sensation sense 3.5 gb roms ... and i can not find an answer ( noob :D )

Final Fix

A permanent fix to this problem is to fake the provider mcc, to do so,

1. your phone has to be rooted

2. install SQLite Editor from aptoide

3. open SQLite Editor

4. goto /data/data/com.android.providors.telephony/databases

5. select carriers

6. find your gsm providor

7. change the mcc value of your provider to 310 which is US

8. close, and check if it works

whenever the phone get the mcc (after reboot, airplane mode, network disconnect) the value of mcc=310 and the wifi_country_code = us

Hope it works for everybody

Update:

I found the solution. Download a zip file of a custom or a stock rom, place it in the root of your sd card (/) and rename it to HEROIMG.zip

While the phone is powered off, hold the Vol. Down + Power button to boot the phone in HBoot. It will automatically recognize the file and load it.

You will be prompted to update the rom. Select OK (duh!)

Thats all folks!
