[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] s0cal:
All i am asking for is an opinion on which device you would recommend for my personal use. You guys are bashing without thinking about what the main focus of the question was. Seriously, the thread was made for help. Not to reject peoples thoughts or questions. XDA was suppose to be about a community of people who help one another with questions, development, etc. When did it become so hateful towards people who arent as knowledgeable as others.

Another thing, I've been searching on google for similar topics, but if I found the right answer, do you think I would be posting a thread asking? Seriously.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] imitenotbecrazy:
I cant believe how many of these I dont want my skyrocket threads I keep seeing. especially ones "threatening" to go to a different phone. The gnex is awesome with ics on it but after thats gone (when other phones have it) what are you left with? the razr in a different form. Im not a fan of the 1.2 TI omap at all and can't believe its in such a flagship device. once the sky has ics the only edge youll have is the higher res screen, which at that point Id leave for the skys chip. If you can't do it yourself, donate to a dev and maybe they can configure a good apn setting so you don't get throttled. or just get a gnex and complain about something on that forum
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Its all good. Just read your posts carefuly before you post a thread. It seems very much like complaining. Its hard to judge the attitude of people when they post sometimes. So anyway. The unlocked nexus still is a bad choice. Check out the galaxy note or wait a bit and there will be ics roms for tue skyrocket . And as i said there is a ics theme rom in development. That alot of people like. Dont give up your lte. For the nexus its not worth it. It even has less useable screen space. Also not worh the money. When for the same ammount you could have the note. With its massive 5.3 inch hd amoled display. You can get the international version now. But an lte version is coming to att in 2012
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] s0cal:
Thank you, I appreciate your comment and I will decide to keep my phone. I am sorry if I came off the wrong way. I been searching for answers for my phone issues..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
in your posts it seems you just want ics...be patient it will come. Give it some time and if it hasn't come prior to the att note or nexus THEN sell your skyrocket and buy one of those

.don't get an inferior phone just for ics
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] denenatse:
wait till official ICS, our hardware specs are better, so in theory it should work better after upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
I had pondered the same thing but from what I read and have seen in the marketplace, people are not as happy with the nexus as they thought they would be. I think the hype was bigger than the actual product. I think the Nexus is a great phone but all the secracy and rumors made the phone seem better than the every other phone in the world. The Skyrocket has it's issues too but other than the screen, everything else is can be made better with ROM and the awesome Devs that make every device better and better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] renegadefunk:
Nexus is a huge scam..

A gold painted turd.

The gpu is old as hell
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jgivesit:
I'm not convinced battery technology is at a point where an HD display can really be supported. It looks like the Note is doing pretty well, but I've seen a lot of complaints about the gnex. I can attest that the Nitro HD had the worst battery life I've ever experienced...phone went back to the store and they exchanged with no restocking fee.

So, I'd stay sgs2 unless you are willing to lug a charger around everywhere.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bayton:
Is there a simple way of disabling sense completely for the Flyer?

I've changed to ADW EX but I know the processes are still running and taking up resources in the background.

I'd love to be able to disable sense and reinstall the stock contacts, calendar, etc.

From what I gather, even HC has it baked in :'(

From what I've read elsewhere for other devices this is a near-impossible task, however given that this is the first tablet I've known about I figured it may be worth asking.

Alternatively, is there a ROM without Sense available? The few I've checked out have included it for some bizarre ( ;) ) reason.

Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Lol I have one out that I'm working on that doesn't have sense. If you didn't want to flash a ROM you could probably freeze all the sense apps using titanium backup (i think)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bayton:
I checked out the ROM, looks good and I like what you're trying to accomplish but is there nothing at the moment that's completely Sense free at all?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
No, unless a Asop rom comes about
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bayton:
Is this something that is likely to appear? CM or similar?

[General Questions and Answers] TaLEntZ96:
hey all, i currently have an incredible S, but my upgrade sometime next year. im looking at SGS2s because the phones seem to be the best on the market at the moment. BUT with quad core technology around the corner, i might just wait for a highly possible SGS3. i really like htc, but the s2s seem to kill anything that comes near it. discuss below...

[General Questions and Answers] mike21pr:
Get what works for you now. Waiting for something better to come out will just make you wait forever because something better is always around the corner

If futureproofing is your main concern, Galaxy Nexus is the winner

BTW I have a SGS2 and love it

[General Questions and Answers] Dark lord me:
The most powerful phone right now is the Galaxy S II yet if you want to future proof you should go Nexus.

And remember the downfall of everyone "There's always something better ... if a wait a little while"
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
No phone is or will be future proof. There is no money in it and in the end that is what the OEM are most worried about

[General Questions and Answers] winmute:
Right now the best choice for me would be an Galaxy Nexus. But only if the lacking Memory Card slot don´t bothers you to much.

The great advantage of this phone is the fast supply with new android updates.
[General Questions and Answers] soulz:
Apple does a pretty good job future proofing their iPhone.

Microsoft isn't doing too shabby.

Android, not so much :)
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Yeah apple does OK as long as your only one model back. My girl has the 3gs and it lags like hell on the new updates after 4. And all apple say is to get an updated model lol

You should buy Galaxy s2 or if you can wait for 7-8 months then buy galaxy s3 which i guess will be released at that time.

[General Questions and Answers] PeartFan40:
How can a phone that won't be available for at least another year destroy everything in its path? LOL...
[General Questions and Answers] PeartFan40:
I recommend the SGS2. There are several incarnations out there, but the fastest one is the AT&T version, as it packs the highly regarded Exynos CPU, which is established as the fastest mobile CPU currently available. I have one and its insane. By far the best phone I've owned, and I've had just about every device on the market. Stay away from the Skyrocket, due to it's well documented horrible display. Hope this helps. Good luck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
well a few monts back i started using roms that had ciq removed...

i just checked my usage data and its saying im using next to no data now...

can anyone else who has been using a nociq rom check your data rates and confirm.?

im not sure why its saying im not using data but ill deff take it haha

attached is a pic of my data usage...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
Yeah. Im pretty sure it also stops them from being able to see dropped Calls and all that stuff as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demonlordoftheround:
CIQ does use data, but probably not that much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patthew:
Pretty sure that removing CIQ won't hide your data usage, but I have no idea why your data use would drop off like that. Is that graph for overall data use, or just 3g? Maybe you've been consuming mostly 4g data, or wifi, or roaming.

Based on my limited understanding, I'd compare this to a car's odometer vs. a car with GPS tracking.

Like a GPS tracker, CIQ allows Sprint to see your data is going and what you do (or something). Without GPS your car's odometer still shows how many miles have driven, but that's it. Sprint can still tell how much data you use if you remove CIQ, but for better or worse, they don't get any other diagnostic or personal information from your phone.

EDIT: I attached screenshots from my Sprint control panel of 3g and 4g consumption. Looks like I'm using LESS 3g but I think that's more related to me getting a micro SD card (not having to stream all my music) than anything with CIQ.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtr145r:
Mine is only 3g and I'm always roaming.. so that is a'll data consumption
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
I find with my phone that the capacitive buttons do not light up all the time, it seems from boot to boot that it will sometimes work and sometimes not but with bricked kernal it works all the time and in the recovery it works all the time as well.

Anyone else getting this problem ??.
[HTC Sensation] boodee0110:
By design, they turn on and off depending on the amount of the light in the area. If you were to be in a dark place, then they will light up. If you were outside during daytime, then they would turn off as you can see the buttons just fine without them lighting up.
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
that doesnt seem to be the case for mine, its either on or off, i have not noticed it dynamically change depending on the condition of lighting.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Have you flashed a custom rom? If so, consider reinstalling the rom or swapping it altogether. If you've modified any system files or flashed any customization zips, that could be the culprit too. I know some roms out there offer "tweaked brightness thresholds", I believe this could contribute as well.
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
yea its ARHD i update every couple weeks or so.
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
Are you on ICS? If so playing around with the brightness settings should fix it, put in on auto brightness as well.
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
I think i have figured it out, it seems that if i boot or reboot my phone in the light it will be off but if it put it under a blanket or somewhere dark it will switch the capacitive lights on. It only seems to switch between on and off when booting/rebooting so do other peoples switch on and off dynamically while the phone is still switched on ??.

I have tried all roms including ICS and the same scenario happens with all.

for Windows Phone

More info on Facebook! http://fb.me/nextbrowser

This is the beta thread. Please visit the new thread for the marketplace version of Next Browser.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] the show stopper:
what are the features ?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] SL55:
That is my question, too.

It is based on the IE9 engine, I doubt. So is it just a different way of UI Design or are there any other additional features compared to the IE9 on Windows Phone?

If I like what I hear, I am ready to invest some time in beta-testing your app. :cool:

So make us happy with something special. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] SimzzDev:
Next Browser is based on the IE9 core, but it is meant to be a different experience from Internet Explorer. It is fast and can support up to 10 tabs, and has features like pin to start, and is gesture-based to make browsing simple and clean. You can easily switch tabs by swiping left or right, which makes it easier than in IE. There are bookmarks and history, as well as switching default search provider and even changing the look of the tile.

Please post or PM me your Live ID if I don't already have it, and you want to beta test.

Thanks! :)

What is a point to use another (next) browser? It still based on IE9 engine. If some one develop browser like safari, I'll give 10 stars and I'll pay for it up to $8.

Sorry guys I love windows Phone, but best browser for phones is Apple Safari.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] SimzzDev:
IE has certain limits like tabs and people sometimes like the features and design of other browsers based on the IE9 engine. To use a different engine, it's very hard if even possible at all on Windows Phone using only managed code, because that's all we're allowed to use. Plus, I think Microsoft only allows web browsers based on the IE9 engine into the marketplace.
