[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Hes on the ICS build I believe thats why his launcher looks different, If he's not on ics he's using ics launcher. I'm using twicca as well and I know what you're talking about but I dont notice it much anymore. It has something to do with the pentile display as you can see it handles brights very well but black isn't its strong point. The galaxy phones handle black's better than any phone their screens produce deep rich black colors. Perfect example is to watch a scary movie on both phones like paranormal activity and you'll see how the photon sucks for dark scenes because of how the pentile displays its blacks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
the photon has a great screen but amoled can't be beat black wise because it has no back light

It is pretty annoying though. My 3g data just started working again. But I'm going to have to call them to get a discount this month
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rpnunez:
Any newly released technology will have it's bugs and/or quirks. Some less than others, some more than others.

But yeah, "Most reliable network" can't be given to a network that has had multiple downtime.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
I can't complain though. I'm in an 3G only area during work and it never went down. I pull over 1 mb/s on 3g everywhere I go, and I'm paying less on Verizon with my employer discounts than I was paying on Sprint...with unlimited data. It was a win-win to switch. Even had my ETF waived.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Sorry, I forgot, it's only not trolling when we all complain about Sprint's network 4902384902348 times for an entire year.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Verizon has a better network. I can almost guarantee these outages are the only time Verizon users have no data, whereas you lose 3g on Sprint whenever you move more than a mile. I have used both networks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
There's only one place I haven't had 3g coverage with Sprint and that was in the mountains, en route to New York City from Detroit Michigan, in Pennsylvania where no one does.

Even had 3g in the desert between Las Vegas Nevada and Los Angeles California.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Can't speak to those areas, only the place where I reside, I know of numerous dead spots in jax, fl on sprint. None on Verizon, they truly "rule the air" here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
According to the link in the first post they already fixed the problem for that author.

Sprint recently went 3 days without even realizing their network was down despite people complaining. This was before they removed CIQ.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
So what, the point is this is the 6th major LTE outage in just the last twelve months.

Don't recall hearing anything about or experiencing a Sprint outage though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Point is they responded and fixed it relatively quickly, preventing it from becoming a multi-day outage situation.

May not be valuable to statistics counters, but would be to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Sure, after 5 other major outages, they must know their way around. ;)

I could only imagine the rioting if Sprint's network had six major outages in 12 months.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skater95:
I do have to say, from my experience from both networks. Verizon in my opinion is better I have an iPhone 4S and an epic 4G touch, and I drop calls and never have 3g, though according to my phone I do. I have at least 3 bars at all times, but if I get off of wifi I can't get on the internet on either phone. I don't know if this is common, but it really sucks. I feel like I got spoiled on Verizon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Don't remember the last time Sprint had a nationwide 4g outage, or even a nationwide 3g one for that matter.

[Galaxy S II General] alainalemany:
Hello people, I'm having a little confusion here. I beg you pardon if this thread looks similar to others, but indeed it doesn't.

I'm planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy S II, I've readed a lot in forums as well as in other sites. Right now I'm stuck between i9100, i989 (T-Mobile) and i727 Skyrocket (AT&T). I'm looking for the best hardware option, I don't care about carrier locked or anything because I'll simunlock it, root it, etc... so basically I just need the best hardware.

In this comparative i727 Skyrocket looks much better than i9000. It have 1.5Ghz dual core micro, the screen is a little bit bigger, better battery, etc. However in this comparative from GSMarena, I found that the i727 Skyrocket have 1.2Ghz dual core micro... just like i9100, then I'm confused in the middle of all this.

HOWEVER in the other hand, in eBay the most expensive is the i9100 and I hope that's not only for being unlocked.

I have doubts, confusions and a hell on my head.

Could you help me to decide the best hardware, the best one for you, and why?

Thank you so much.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] GIR:
Galaxy S2 is i9100 series not i9000 series.
[Galaxy S II General] mike21pr:
i9100 is the best. Although the other two have 1.5ghz processors, its using the Snapdragon cpu instead of Exynos which has been known to be a much better performer than the So3. Bigger screen is good but there have been reports of vertical lines on the 4.5 models, and finally we have developer support and updates which shall be no contest compared to the i9100

Not trying to discourage you from the SR or TMO models, but if u want the overall best, the i9100 is better in most aspects. Now if you can sacrifice some performance for LTE (if u live in a LTE area of course) or more real estate, then the SR is for you

sEnT fRoM mY ExYnOs PoWeReD MoNsTeR
[Galaxy S II General] bbgt2:
IMHO I would have to say go with the 9100 International, so many better choices as far as ROMS.

I had a Samsung Captivate and always had to wait for a different type of kernel to be made to work with the Cappy where as the developers were always snapping out the updates for the 9000. Swore I would never go with anything besides the original international version of any Sammy. I will be getting the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as soon as I can get one that is not locked or bound to ANY carrier ie. UNLOCKED.
[Galaxy S II General] alainalemany:
You're right, sorry the typo.
[Galaxy S II General] 5kops:
The at&t and tmobile has slightly bigger screen 4"5 inches with 1.5 ghz Qualcomm cpu and adreno 220 gpu.

I9100 has samsung's own 1.2 ghz exynos cpu and mali 400 gpu. The cpu on i9100 performs better.
[Galaxy S II General] alainalemany:
Thank you so much guys.

I will go with i9100 version, definitely you made a point with the support subject as well as the micro performance.

eBay here I go.
[Galaxy S II General] jordanishere:
The international version has the best soc. But if you live in the united states it will not work on att's Lte network or tmobios 42mbps hspa+ network... So your speeds will be much slower than the t989 or Sr versions.
[Galaxy S II General] mrcrassic:
Other thing to consider is that T989 has NFC while i9100 does not (at least from what I've read). Might be useful if you are itching to try Google Wallet.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Why not consider the I777? (AT&T GS2) - It has NFC.

The T989 and ****rocket are NOT Galaxy S II phones. They have NO business having the Galaxy S II name applied to them - they are oddball one-off phones cobbled together from Samsung's parts bin, and do NOT represent the refinement that Samsung's flagship I9100 and close relatives (I777 and Sprint SPH-D710) have.

You looked only at clock frequency, but missed that the T989 and ****rocket do not have Samsung's own Exynos chipset, but a Qualcomm chip instead. The Snapdragon is notorious for poor performance for a given clock rate - at 1.5 GHz, they deliver worse performance than the Exynos at 1.2.

In addition, they have NOTHING else in common with the I9100 hardware-wise, so unlike the I777, they can't leverage all of the I9100's development.

The larger battery in the ****rocket is offset by the fact that it's got LTE (battery-hogging fatty - LTE will not be mature for at least another year) and the fact that the Snapdragon is a battery hog due to having to ramp to higher clock rates to achieve the same performance. In reality, the ****rocket gets very poor battery life. I've seen people that considered 17 hours "good" even though a GS2 that has a permanent wakelock held (no deep sleep) will last longer than that!
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
A lot of interesting things here. Here's a more technical post on the key differences. Samsung is currently using three chipsets in various Galaxy S2 phones; Exynos 4210, Tegra 2, and Snapdragon S3. The phones you're looking at have all but the Tegra.

Exynos 4210

CPU - Dual-Core ARM Cortex A9 @ 1.2ghz (SMP)

GPU - ARM Mali 400MP4

Snapdragon S3

CPU - Dual-Core Scorpion @ 1.5ghz (aSMP)

GPU - Qualcomm Adreno 220

Which is better? In terms of real performance, A9 puts out 2.5 DMIPS per clock cycle, giving the Exynos a rating of 3,000 per core or 6,000 total. The Snapdragon puts out 3,125 per core, or 6,300 total, as Scorpion does 2.1 DMIPS per clock cycle. That's a difference of 5%. So yes, in theory, the Snapdragon is a hair faster due to the much higher clock rate.

In terms of the GPU, the Mali 400MP4 has a sterling reputation due to benchmark results. However, SGS2 fanboys (of which I am one, own a GT-i9100 myself) have been quick to jump on the favorable benchmarks but ignore the bad ones. Let me explain;

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/17

This review is one that is often touted, so I'll use two key examples. in the top image you'll see the fill-rate advantage of the Mali, beating out the Adreno 220 by a factor of nearly 5 to 1. That's huge! Here's the problem with this; The Adreno in a benchmark displays MORE than enough fill-rate to accelerate a game at 800x480 resolution, 32-bit color, at 60 frames per second. Of course, there are other fill-rate intensive things that will tax this aspect of the GPU, and the Mali is equipped to handle this (as is the sGX540) while the Adreno is not. The Adreno is essentially a basic GPU at that resolution (and a horrible one for 720p, I'm looking at you HTC Rezound!). in the second link, we see a near 40$ boost in geometric performance for the Adreno over the Mali. As games become more detailed, this will be an issue (this is why I favor PowerVR over Mali, personal preference). However, Adreno is so limited that the Mali is far superior overall, IMO.

​

In conclusion, if you don't game, either phone is fine (and the Skyrocket has LTE support). But, if you want to play 3D games, the GT-i9100 or the SGH-i777 (AT&T version with NFC) are your best choices. Go with the i9100 if you want a truly unlocked phone, and only pay $10/mo for unlimited data. Go with the i777 if you want a cheaper upfront cost and NFC.

Happens if you are running short of memory, often happens when you run too many apps at once.. Since you are using a custom rom, must be because of over or under clocking profiles you kept

[Dell Streak 7] Tim 13:
I got a Streak 7 for Christmas, and I really enjoy it... but I hate that only 2GB are allocated for apps. I bought a large SD card in anticipation of moving my apps there, only to find out that Honeycomb hates app to SD. Apparently, my only option is to flash it and install a different ROM.

I've never unlocked anything before in my life. My phone is an HTC Thunderbolt, and it sounds like one of the most complex and difficult phones on the market to flash. Basically, I'm scared to death of flashing something like this. I'm not asking for a tutorial, I'm basically just asking for a risk vs. reward analysis. How easy is it to flash a Streak? How much room for error is there, as in, if I make a mistake, can it be corrected without bricking the tablet? I'm not an Androidiot, I do know my way around the Android OS fairly well, and my computer knowledge is pretty basic; I suppose I know more than most of the basic users, but my knowledge of computers is not complex, and I don't know how to code or develop or anything like that.

So... Is it worth it for a n00b like me to try and unlock my Streak? And if so, considering that app to SD is the single most important feature in a new ROM, which one would you guys recommend? I was considering just flashing back to the Froyo, but if you have a better suggestion with cooler features in addition to app to SD, then tell me. Thank you!

-Tim
[Dell Streak 7] exebreez:
I bought my streak 7 yesterday and anything in the point of flashing, rooting and the result enjoying worked, quite fine.

Is your streak rooted?
[Dell Streak 7] Tim 13:
No, I haven't rooted it yet. I know the tutorials are on the site and everything, so I'm not asking anybody how to do it, I just want to know which ROM to flash to, if it's dangerous, blah blah blah.
[Dell Streak 7] exebreez:
As long as I! can see, flashing a rom isnt dangerous. But remember look that you alway have enough power in akku ;).

If you need more help, give me a question and you get answer.
[Dell Streak 7] Tim 13:
Will do, thank you, but I'm looking to hear input from a variety of Streak owners about their experiences and what their recommendations are. But thank you.
[Dell Streak 7] Lockdo6307:
I'm rooted running honeycomb from tabletroms they have alot of info there xda is sorta dead for the streak check out r8 its a little tricky understanding what you have to do to flash but totally worth it
[Dell Streak 7] exebreez:
For now the best rom ive seen and tested is Honeystreak ;)
[Dell Streak 7] Lockdo6307:
Yeah honeystreak r8
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Tim do't get your panties all in a wad... your solution is VERY simple. But I would like to point out that any app to sd apps are becoming obsolete. Newer firmwares and operating systems don't like it because storage is no longer a problem. I have hundreds of apps on my Streak 7 and not even close to filling up that 2 gigs of space yet. BUT if you must have more then look for the HoneyStreak R2 thread. There you will find the NVFlash method of flashing Honeycomb to your Streak. Within the zip there are .bat configuration files that you will choose to flash your Streak, each is for a different partitioning of the inner SD, 2GB 4GB and 6GB.... the thread is ABSOLUTELY straightforward, the drivers for using NVFlash are in the zip, the phone will be rooted once the process is done and everything, it's almost a one click procedure. After you flash R2 then you can update to R8 which is based on the code released for the Dell Streak, although R8 is NOT rooted, there is a thread on how to root HOneycomb on the Streak also...

Good luck and don't forget to hit that thanks button
