Honestly, right now the only major technical advantage I can think of that IOS has over Android is Siri, and in a month or so, we'll have Majel and that won't be true anymore. As far as Jailbreaking goes, so she has a jailbroken Iphone, ooooohhhh....so she can change things android can by default now.....I'd rather root and get some real advantages to my phone.

Android is all about freedom. Freedom is messy. Dictatorships are simple: Use what you are told to use how you are told to use it and eat the soup you are given. I'll make my own, thanks.

Just a little humor :D

I really don't see anything about the iphone that I would have given up my HTC Evo 4G or Samsung Epic 4G Touch for.

Not One Thing.

Never understood what all the Hoopla was, other than the Lemming mentality.

There was a time where the iphone had Everything over what other manufacturers had, but that is, and has been History.

Even when the iphone was It a long while ago, I never went for it because there was no FREEDOM of Choice.

Now there are some Freedoms with Jailbreaking, etc. but the iphone is Old News, although the Sales are Phenomenal and the reasons Carriers spend tons of money to carry it. Steve Jobs was a great salesman and marketer, and he has insured that the iphone will always have a huge following, even if it becomes a can and string :D

I have both and honestly there's no way I can use the iphone daily.. screen is too small for me.. but that's personal preference. I'm 6"1 240lbs so I'm not really a small guy. I got the iphone for free so I really just use it as an ipod touch. One thing I do give the iphone is the standby battery life is unrivaled. I'm on one day 11 hours and I'm still at 66% with light use.

You know i was at Starbucks the other day and one guy with an iPhone was sitting, waiting for his coffee. He was talking with a starbucks employee about something.

He finished talking to the barista, looked disapointed, then he turned to the rest of the people waiting in line and said "they need to make an app for stupid people". This was prime time for an iCrap moody comeback, so i pointed at his phone and said: "There's a phone for that!". He didn't speak much after that...

Win!

I think it is cool how your Iphone can get 6 meg when no one has anything other the EVDO Rev A that has a max of 3meg.

Nothing shuts a ifan up. They blindly follow that which is Apple. Even if you mention things like the option to add a SD card they just blow it off saying how unnecessary it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I hear ya, But the Galaxy Nexus dosesn't have an SD card either :(

I really don't understand that one :confused:

32GB Internal is of course, fine.

But jeeze, no SD card??

If I had a choice between the Nexus Galaxy as it is now,(and it was available on Sprint,) and my SE4GT, it would be the SE4GT all the way :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Lol good thing you like your iPhone, but I haven't signed up in the iphone forums and posted how much I loved my galaxy in every post I made. At least contribute something other than iPhone praises.

If you like your iPhone that's great. It sucks to be stuck on a contract with a phone you dislike. I have no issue with your opinions, I just think you should post something else once in awhile.

Let him/ her know about SOPA, apple is a supporter of internet censorship that is being voted on right now, there's hundreds of companies funding his bill and it could completely change the web. They would have permission to take any site they deem as a threat. I'm sure xda would go down for its hacking nature.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xjisu18X6s7lPtAsIQg5Ol3KJjymPT2az1kasQVwGiw/edit?pli=1

Boycott these companies if you want to keep the web free .

Ok so i've been playing with the siri on my nephews iphone4s and it was kind of fun since we were all asking funny questions. Just for kicks Try asking "where you can hide dead bodies?" It will give you some answers.

The novelty does wears off after the first week. lol..

I want to make my SE4GT just like an iPhone.

Is there an app for that?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
Can't believe this is still in question but...

Did anyone ever mentioned alarm/time settings and apple mistakes on it? If apple server gets bad you are going to be late for work because your alarm won't sound (happened several times last year and apple apologize for it lol) since phone sync even time with them.

I tried one couple days ago, and while looking some pictures on facebook I almost went blind because of that small screen.

I love my nandroid backup's, how about iphone users? Do I need to mentioned my extra clean video recording ? Any iphone user who did saw that turned his phone, look at their camera and place his phone into pocket immediately.

To me, we shouldn't continue anymore because it might cause stress on iphone users. Don't mention expendable storage or protection plan that will cover everything including stolen or lost phones.

Most of these things you actually can do with a jailbroken iphone. Honestly, iphones may not be as complex as Android in terms of functionality, but the fluidity of it still excels over Android even with ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
That's funny :)

But seriously, is there an app to make my battery non removeable, and how 'bout an app that makes me want to camp out for days outside an apple store, in crappy weather, for the priveliedge to purchase a beloved iPhone :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
That is very true. iPhone is something anyone can use, Android needs a bit of a learning curve.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] difrent7:
So I traded me Epic 4g Touch straight trade for a iPhone 4s and I can tell you that our phone is 10 times better. I only did the trade because the iphone was worth more and i didn't have to put cash or anything for the trade.

The iPhone is nice but very boring! Siri gets old really fast and battery life is terrible on the 4s. I could go about 12 hours decent use on my Epic but on the iPhone im lucky to get over 8 hours of the same type of use (usually get about 6.5 hours). I tried being unbiased when i switched to the iPhone but I dont get how people can claim this is such a great phone they are nuts lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waxfondlr:
temorarily steal the iphone, especially if they have apple insurance, and see if they think they can get it replaced, and if they do think this, laugh at them very hard

My Advent vega will not boot up after upgrading to Vegacomb 8.1 or 9. I have tried this twice now with the same result.

When i put the Froyo back on I can power off then power back on no problem.

I want to upgrade the Advent to put the marketplace on, when i try to install the rom in Froyo i get an error symbol with the android icon, and an exclamation mark in a white triangle

Any help will be much appreciated:confused:
[Vega General] yani2000:
Hmm... nowadays there are a lot of posts here on XDA about users who can't boot into VegaComb anymore. :(

Did you try the Honey Ice ROM?
[Vega General] benbutt:
Thanks for replying so quickly, Should i update to honey ice?
[Vega General] yani2000:
If you already upgraded from stock to Vegacomb I don't see what is stopping you to upgrade to Honey Ice?

It can't hurt, just remember to carefully read the first post in Honey Ice thread on tabletforums and also check if users of Honey Ice have same problems like you had with Vegacomb because Honey Ice is based on Vegacomb (like it states in first sentence).

Good luck! :)
[Vega General] metallic_ghostrecon:
i am so tired of this sick devise
[Vega General] MikhailM1:
Do not give up! Just install the latest HoneyIce Chimera Edition (Updated) on it and it will work like a device costing twice as much.

You will first need to install Modded Stock 1.10 v2, run than, put it into CWM recovery, wipe Data, Cached, Dalvik, and then install Chimera.

If you do get problems after that, try flashing Modded Stock 1.10 v1 and then wiping and installing Chimera.
[Vega General] nicks90:
Don't give up!

Put it back to modded stock, then put vegaICS on it as found on here / tabletroms / modaco forums. I've been on it for a few weeks and it is brilliant!!!

For a beta1 its great. Had almost no issues other than the usual no wifi after sleep.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
This started earlier in the week. I think I loaded the Free Monopoly, Contract killer and Text Plus in the morning when it started. I'm thinking this was Tuesday or Wednesday morning after Christmas.

At the Time I immediately killed and uninstalled all three of the recent app additions. This did not appear to resolve the issue.

Symptoms

Screen would not remain off for more than a few minutes without turning itself back on again. Full screen wakes.

Occasionally and without warning the phone would completely turn itself off, requiring the very long power button press to turn on again (was a full power-down).

Since this has started I decided to upgrade to the latest unamed rom.

This does not appear to have helped anything, although the frequency may have been reduced. I don't think this is related to the ROM since the issue survived the factory reset / wipe / rom change.

Questions

Are there any internal logs that may help to point me in the right direction?

If so, where / how can I view them?

I'm seeing a RILJ dialer something under Partial wakelocks in BBS.

I see this as [p]_RILJ under Kernal wakelocks as well. Any Idea what this is?

I admit, I was getting a bit silly with the quantity of Apps I had loaded and still running well at the time. Amazed the phone was still going very strong with no issues at all. I'm trimming this back on the new rom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
Random Illumination Wakes and sleep crashes.

Still trying to nail this down.

Additional observations.

Timing appears to be random.

When I say the screen wakes up, I'm mean illuminating.

The wakes appear almost as often as the power off freeze. What I mean is the quantity of complete power off's is similar to the screen wakes.

It's very possible that the same event may be causing both the screen wake and the hard starts. Neither issue occured prior to this the starting of both events.

I have occasionally seen the "Driving Mode" steering wheel icon pop-up, while unplugged. I've not connected this phone to any kind driving interface as of yet, so this is a surpriseds.

Today I had additional issues with extremely heavy battery drain in a short period of time. I had incorrectly added 2650mA under battery capacity beneath Calibration tab of "Battery Monitor Widget Pro".

Still looking for help finding and viewing any error logs on the device.

Does anyone know of some basic error log files on the device?

Again, all help is greatly appreciated.

Under Recent unamed ROM but I do not believe the ROM is the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
These random screen wakes, particularly with the car mode activations, are what I was seeing when my usb port on the device failed. there are several threads in the general and QA forums regarding usb failures, you might want to dig around in there to see if other behavior is similar. I think one poster mentioned cleaning out the USB port with alcohol and a small paint brush. I had tried doing the same with canned air, but that did not help me. I ended up with a warranty replacement device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
I think you may be onto something.

Since the event I am also having issues connecting up to my Win7 Pc.

On the morning of the event, I remember a brief weirdness to the charging indication. I think it said it was charging when it wasn't or vice versa.

:(

So now the question becomes.

What do I need to do before an exchange?

Purchased from Best Buy on US Launch day without extended warranty.

Do I still have a warranty?

Can I go to the AT&T store in Sacramento?

:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
Your phone has a 1 year hardware warranty. Talk to Best Buy, and force them to give you a replacement. I did that with AT&T, not putting it on the phone insurance, but the phone's warranty that came with it, for free.

Backup your apps using a tool like ROM Toolbox from the market (it's my favorite). When you restore your phone, all apps that AREN'T sideloaded will come back with the last Google Sync you made, so sync now. If you're sure, 100% that it's hardware and not software, make a backup via CWM and ignore all previous instructions, but if you're like me, you'll want a fresh restart with the ability to axe all the apps you don't use on a clean ROM.

When backing up all non-sideloaded apps, Google does it for you, use a backup program from the market to ONLY backup your sideloaded apps.

HUGE ADDENDUM:

READ THIS. Alright, before taking it back to Best Buy, flash Entropy's "Back To Stock" ROM and kernel. If you don't, you're done. Warranty voided. If they are intelligent and check the flashcounter, and see you tripped it, but you're on a stock ROM, you can talk your way outta it. Try thinking of something before you go in. The excuse I will use if ever needed is I was clueless about why my phone was ****ing up, so my friend who said he could fix it took my phone for a day and temporarily fixed it, and it worked alright for a couple days before the issue came back. So you can claim ignorance IF NEEDED, but most of the time they don't check. Just be sure to have an answer for if they do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
I do have a jig and I do not have the Exclamation Icon.

However my boot animation is no longer stock and I have not been able to read the flash counter. The Power-off, Hold volumes and plug USB thing is not working for me.

To date, I have not caught anything in software to cause this.

Getting myself ready, Thanks a million.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
As long as you used a root method that should not have increased the counter, I think you can mobile Odin back to stock unrooted to prep for warranty return.

Shot back to this ROM

Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package: http://www.multiupload.com/NYL3XT51Y0

Feels like olden times.....Naked in front of the Gym class.

Beyond Best Buys 30 Days so had to go to the AT&T Service center.

They grilled me, checked, wiped, reflashed, yada-yada-yada.

Gave me the could be an app shpeel, did you use a car charger questions etc.

Long story short....

They want to try a new battery 1st.

So, news years eve overnight, maybe by Monday.

I admit this could be a possibility because I have had the battery lose a large amount of capacity in a short amount of time one the order of Full to Dead in 2-3 hours. This has occurred to me on maybe three or four occasions since launch day. Phone got warm to hot at the same time. This usually included a hard kill power off. Nice big gap / drop in battery stats.

Is there any way the phone would get a charging indication yet not charge?

Like if the USB port got wonked or crossed with something?

Additional Weirdness:

I have had the phone freeze up on me, picture turn weird as it gradually whitened to full white screen only.

No response from the keys or screen with the exception of a long power button press to recover. This occurred a few times since the original event (maybe 3) with the last one happening while plugging it back in for some juice for the return today.

Keeping this up to date in case others run across the same funkyness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I got the "try a different battery" story too. Conveniently my wife also has the I777 as well, so tried hers. No joy for me. After that, rma was approved. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
It ain't the battery man. The symptoms you described fit perfectly with a fried micro usb port.

If you haven't set the flashcounter off, and your phone has the AT&T boot logo, then you're good to go as far as exchanging it goes. DO IT UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT INSURANCE. This is the **** quality of the usb connecter, not user caused.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iqak:
I doubt it too, since the original event involved the AM unplugging from the charger. I always check the Next Amazon app, 1st thing.

I can honestly say that:

The phone has absolutely never been dropped.

The USB cable nor port has never been stressed, tweaked nor twisted.

Never used the phone with the cable attached.

Neither the phone nor the Taurus gunmetal case have a single scratch.

The phone has never been close to water, save for the obligatory post shower, AM, moist towel screen wipe (ok.... too much info).

I think I had 137 apps on this thing until the 1st event last week. In those original two months I've had maybe 5 force closes or other events. The force is definitely strong in this one!

I hope they forget the "new" battery when the time comes for the full swap? :cool:

As always, thanks for everyones help. I'll post this through beyond conclusion for the rest of us.
