Umm, just incase you have software already on it, but I would pop it in your pc, quick format to fat32, put it in your phone and you should be good to go. Unless you wish to copy over your previous recovery, then do so then install the card in to the handset.
[HTC EVO 3D] mulhiny:
Is formatting to FAT32 the only option for a phone? I ask because there is a transfer limit on FAT32 (around 4gb) and none on NTFS. I discovered this while trying to transfer a 6gb movie to my 32gb card. Anyone know if I can reformat to NTFS and have no ill effects?
[HTC EVO 3D] netwokz:
I think for most ROMs it needs to be fat32. I was looking into formatting it to ext4, but I have not tried it yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] zcink:
I'm pretty sure if you format it to NTFS, your phone won't recognize it.

I suppose you could try it -- it shouldn't hurt anything.

FAT32 is the correct format for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mulhiny:
Hmm, I guess tonight I can try but I'm thinking you're probably right. That blows. What I was trying to do was take good quality movies and convert to 3D..Which makes for around a 6gb file..no good if I can't get it on the phone tho. Whole reason I got the 32gb card. Guess I'll have to get some more music, lol

hey,

today, i made a quick performance test over speedtest.net with a sim dedicated to data, that is usually in use via a sierra 3g-usb modem (Compass 885), to measure performance vs my new samsung galaxy nexus. the results surprised me quite a bit.

First, speeds measures that had taken on the pc while connected via modem were (download-up(Mb)): 1.0-0.5 and 0.9-0.7.

In contrast, using the same sim with the gn, i tethered internet over wifi, i measured

on the pc

: 2.5-0.4 and 2.6-0.25.

thus, similar upload speed both with usb modem and gn wifi tethering, and more than twise the dl speed in favor of tethering.

in that case, most probably it's the usb peripheral's attribute, limiting data speeds to a single Mbps. usb tethering sucks, got it. however, it's the second comparison that i can't find explanation for.

I'll describe carefully: same gn, same sim, same spot in the room, same servers in speedtest, first series of measures is simple: taken on the gn locally using the speedtest app (wifi and sync are off), and the second series - in the speedtest website (chrome) using the pc while connected to the gn over wifi.

The speedtest mobile app results: 1.9-0.4 and 1.5-0.5

The speedtest website results: 2.5-0.4 and 2.6-0.25

Ive repeated the test with another sim, and got similar differences in favor for the pc.

speedtest android app misbehaves or, gn attanuates local data speeds... any thoughts?

Using Go Lanucher EX with Go Locker, which provides for a different lock screen. Problem is the stock screen also come on so I have to go through 2 unlock screens..

Tried different things but no luck to total disable the stock one from launching.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cactusmatt44:
I used NO LOCK from the Android Market. Very simple, very effective.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] daviddallas:
Thanks, that works great when just using the stock version only. But the stock screen still shows up when the go-locker version is enabled. Locks like an issue with the go-locker app..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] collins521:
Ya that's a issue with GoLocker, I'm using Widget Locker and doesn't show the stock lock screen at all. Plus they have the Sense 3.5 lock screen so I have the shortcuts
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] daviddallas:
Problem my be resolved. I reported and after getting updates to Go Launcher and Go Locker, problem no longer happens.

Just an FYI - the "four key" go-locker widget has 4 shortcuts also. very nice..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sdelliott31:
I have the motorola Atrix and enjoy the phone but before that I had the 5" dell streak. I have enjoyed my atrix as it has some nice custom ROMs. However it is upgrade time and the tech in me wants to upgrade / change. The infuse is free and has a 2.5 inch screen and a super camera which is important to me. However a single core processor? Really. But then it has great sdcard storage. Battery life is supposed to be great and I would use custom Rom if it made a difference

HTC Titan. Again single core 1.5 processor 512mb RAM. But supposedly mango doesn't need the processing power that android does. Plus it's 199.00. Ouch. However a big 4.7 inch screen and a 8 mp camera. 16gb non expandable RAM.

SG2. Sweet. But 4.3 inch screen. 199.00. Dual core 1.5 processor. Very nice phone.

I guess I'm looking for input. I like my atrix but want good camera and bigger screen but like to play games. However a solid battery would be nice. I want it all. Lol

Happy New Year.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
there are two galaxy s 2 models for att. the attain model with a 4.3" screen and a dual core 1.2ghz. and the skyrocket with a 4.5" screen, dual core 1.5ghz, and lte. keep in mind the samsung phones have very pretty samoled screens. and all the phones you listed are wvga and the atrix had a qhd display (though higher resolution it did have a yucky pentile display).

ive been eyeing that lg nitro with its 720p display and lte. and though it wins out on specs i just dont like lg for some reason. so maybe ill wait for something like the lg but better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sdelliott31:
Thanks. I knew about the skyrockets but they are 250.00. Paying that with a two year contract seems foolish too me anyway. After more reading and YouTube videos I think I am at the SGS2 or waiting a month and seeing what prices do. It's funny this summer I was pining away for the infuse but had no upgrade.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
1 android only boots on one core

2 if your a big on your phone gamer than the dual core is handy

3 I have an sgs2...my infuse is faster and has a better ui ....if u stay on the web or game all the time then u can take advantage of the second core....

Until they develop apps that take advantage of the dual core I personally don't see the point at this time.

Like I said I have an sgs2 and my infuse is my daily driver due to is just a better all around phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sdelliott31:
Wow, very interesting. I've read and read many forums and YouTube videos. I am assuming that is where ICS may come in, taking fuller advantage of the hardware.

Here's what I do with my phone.

I'm a teacher. Other than websites and taking pictures and posting them to fb then I watch videos and texting music then light gaming. I have the Asus transformer prime for my gaming and more intense things. But I'd say my biggest goals are

Battery life

Good camera and video

Bigger nice display

Storage

Facebook integration ( which most everything has)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
I'm a long time Infuse owner (since june 2011) and I feel that the Infuse has everything you could really want in a phone right now. Granted development for it has had a slump in activity. But if your not into flashing roms all the time then all your good. The screen is just absolutely gorgeous and unmatchable as far as colors go. The blacks are actually pitch black! But aside from that its just great all around. For the things you pointed out, the sgs2 would seem like too much phone for the job. And you just can't beat the cost savings for what your getting with the infuse. I paid 170 for mine and it was all worth it. If you keep it stock you could also use it as an entertainment PC for your living room through HDMI too. Which is awesome.

Just to recap, the phone is fast enough to do everything you need. It also has a camera good enough to replace my point and shoot canon. And the screen size hits that sweet spot of not being too big while still having a really decent resolution and color reproduction. For me its a no-brainer. But if ics is looking interesting to you I would walk into a Verizon store and ask to play with a new nexus. And see if the difference is worth the price. If it is. Then I would keep what you got and just wait for the Galaxy Note to come stateside. 5" 720p samoled screen is all I have to say.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garbagecanman:
Agree totally. And the infuse is 4.5" screen and single core is enough on this phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garbagecanman:
I think you Need an infuse then. Dman has some good roms for it. Just switched to catyrom and the phone runs great and for free what more can you want until the note comes state side like I'm waiting for. Being a previous streak owner.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sdelliott31:
Ahhhh the Galaxy Note. Pure ecstasy. That's in the end the phone I'm willing to pay some money for.

Thanks everyone for being cool. I've been reading in the dev section too. I'll keep you posted but I like people sticking up for their phones so I'm going to keep researching the Infuse!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the gs2 has a exynos processor it may only be 1.2ghz but it absolutely rocks. the skyrocket has a qualcomm chip. not too shabby. the attic has a tegra chip. meh. actually the infuse can play better videos than the atrix and thought the benchmarks may look close in 3d I think the renderings are better on the hummingbird which may be why Motorola switched to the omap4 with the power vr540 gpu from imagination technologies which is the same gpu the hummingbird runs. but I think the exynos and dualcore snapdragon are both better.

I'm pretty interested in meego powered phones myself but haven't had a chance to use one. maybe some day...

if it were me I'd either get the free phone or a gs2 the skyrocket if you get lte service, I don't know enough about the HTC to comment on it. the infuse is at a disadvantage though because it is always late on updates and will probably never see ics officially.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] etbob623:
Both sgs2 models are more expensive online. The skyrocket in store is 149.99 with contract. I believe the other one is 99.99 with. Though the Infuse is just as good and if you don't live in an LTE area, like most of us then its not worth it. Except of course that the sgs2 (both models) is getting ICS officially. The infuse has the advantage of a metal case and i've dropped mine many times where i thought surely it broke yet its fine. I personally don't like HTC for some reason, not really sure why.

Though honestly I would wait a little. The sgs3 is gonna be released relatively soon, along with some other very nice phones. The galaxy note is gonna be released here soon too. So since you already have a decent phone and are so close to a new line of phones, i'd wait the 2 or 3 months.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
The Infuse isn't metal - it's metallic-finish plastic. Same for the SGS2.

However, people falsely always assume that plastic = cheap - it's not, if properly done, and Samsung has chosen their plastic types VERY well in the Infuse and GS2. As an example of plastics that do better than metal:

Airbus A380

Boeing 787

F-22 Raptor

(Admittedly, most of the above are fiber reinforced composites - but still, it's a variant of plastic)

Anything made using Delrin

Don't get the Skyrocket - it has everything wrong with it that drives developers away from the Infuse and more. People falsely assume that developers go for specs, but we don't - we go for phones that don't fight us. That's why the Captivate still has a robust development community and the Infuse's never really took off, with only a small handful of developers, many of whom got frustrated and said "**** it" and left. That's why the I777 will always have a more robust developer community than the Skyrocket - We only need half the developers to achieve twice the work because the I777 community can leverage the I9100 community, while the Skyrocket community has nothing to leverage. (Well, the T989 community, but that's not exactly very useful.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
I'd get the Skyrocket ($149.99) if it plays my TV shows in MKV format without having to re-encode. Otherwise I'd get the SGS2 ($199.99).

From the benchmarks I've seen it appears the SGS2 is a tad bit faster but if you're going to be tied to a two year contract and AT&T is SLOWLY rolling out LTE it seems like a no brainer to get the LTE capable phone.

Forgot to mention the Skyrocket has a larger screen and battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
actually all the modern Samsung phones may have a plastic outer shell but the screen is bonded to a metal frame that the main board is mounted to. on the infuse it looks quite robust. it may be confused with plastic having a very dull grey look and a black coating where the battery sits but I've scratched it doing a screen replacement and I assure you there is a good chunk of metal in the infuses construction. it is very light weight though which is why it never occurred to people that there is metal in there. maybe it's a porous aluminum casting, maybe its magnesium which is about half the weight of aluminum. I didn't think to spark test it before I put it together. but I agree Samsung plastics for the outer shell are also top notch. not scratch or dent resistant but very fracture resistant. even the slip cover on the i9000, vibrant and fascinate though it has a cheap appearance is extremely scratch resistant and resilient. Samsung=cheap looks but rugged construction.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
I'd avoid the HTC Titan (price, battery life) and Skyrocket (price, CPU, screen tuning issues). Unless you are invested in having a top-notch DAC for listening to music on your phone and have browsed the Infuse forums enough to know what to expect in terms of issues and ROM's, I'd recommend sticking with the regular SGS2.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sdelliott31:
Thanks again all. I'm going to try and hold out for the Note or the SGS2 if the price drops. But it does seem that Samsung is on to something on the phone front, plus tablets.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justinfedor:
Infuse has a 4.5 inch screen. Not 2.5
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
Battery life on the Titan is good actually.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] willillam:
sgs2

:DThe sgs 2 skyrocet becase it has a dual core prosser

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

i am with you on that
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
Exactly what Im doing!! I wont have an upgrade for a while but I will be getting a nice refund from fafsa next feb/march, so Im hoping the note will be here by then.

If you want to get a feel for how it is in the hand and screen and so forth--Head to Best Buy and they usually have a working new Samsung music player on display. I believe it shares all the same specs as the Note except it has no stylus, and no phone features. Same screen size and general form factor though. You could see how it feels in hand, up to your ear etc.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Mezzi:
Im in this same dilemma though my dilemma is just the Infuse vs the Galaxy S II.

I have been waiting for the prices of the i9100 to drop and it doesnt seem like that is happening and im having a difficult time finding the Infuse unlocked at a reasonable price outside of AT&T. So that is the dilemma.

I believe that the Infuse is the better value for money right now since the price of the S2 is now inflated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
im picking up a HTC vivid myself
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
I'm going to stay away from HTC for a few launch cycles. HTC devices have ALWAYS left me wanting since the WinMo days to the HTC Inspire. If it's not one thing it's always another (3.5mm audio jack, bad battery life, noisy and blurry camera, lack of internal storage, lack of codecs, slower speed tests vs Infuse, etc).

I see with the Vivid they've finally caught up to Samsung as far as internal storage and HDMI-out but I still question camera quality: The Inspire's 8MP pictures are noisy. They're compressed down to 1.5-1.8MB where-as the Infuse's are around 3.5MB. I've read and watched comparison pics and vids for both the HTC Vivid and the Samsung Galaxy S II and it looks like HTC is continuing their tradition of noisy camera photos and videos.

On the codec front: It looks like the HTC Vivid still has issues with h.264 playback.

Sorry HTC... you lose.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well playback is nothing that can't be fixed with 3rd party apps. but I agree with the camera, also MP is just a number and indicates waist or space, ill bet the galaxy nexus blows any 8mp phone away 'cept maybe the iPhone 4s but I'm not sure I've seen real world evidence that the iPhone is as good as advertised. but I agree on the camera. HTC doesn't do it for me with the camera. they used to be good with ui in a way. I would love a nexus 1 style modern phone. multi color trackball and all ( I like the tactile feedback over a pad). now the ui is overbearing and trackballs disappeared.

the thing that really puts me off from HTC is the build quality. I know the inspire is metal and heavy but that isn't all good. I can't stand heavy or thick and it doesn't indicate quality. I've done a screen repair on an evo and it was a joke. it was full of spring contacts for the speakers and antennas and they were literally falling off the mainboard which was mounted with a single screw. I had to solder one back on for an antenna. the plastics all showed light colored lines where it had bent under pressure. total piece of crap. the galaxy s looked cheap but was basically indestructible. that thin slip cover is basically scratch proof and the underlying plastic was strong, not to mention the screen is bound to a metal frame. but Samsung has their own issues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
My girlfriend just picked up the HTC Vivid in white from ATT. I have to say that for her, this phone is an absolutly awesome device. But she is coming from an Htc Aria. I think that for those people who arent too techy about things, this phone will get almost any job done. She really loves it. It was between this and the Sgs2 but that was just too expensive and too much phone. For 100 dollars less, your getting a higher resolution display and some pretty comparable specs. It is pretty heavy in hand, but she likes the feel of it. And just today she dropped it in her lab from a coat pocket to the floor (~3ft) And not a single mark/scratch/ding. So i have to hand to Htc on build quality there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
I've tried third party apps on the Inspire and none of them worked very well playing back H.264 with AC3 audio in a MKV file... while the Captivate I had played those same files perfectly.

Here's the HTC Vivid thread in regards to MKV playback:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21450838

I still think it's ridiculous the feature isn't already native on the phone considering HTC touts it's entertainment features:

"Entertaining by design

The HTC Vivid™ is built to entertain, with movies and shows through HTC Watch™, all on a beautiful, 4.5-inch qHD super LCD screen. Or you can watch videos on your big-screen TV — with HDMI out, or wirelessly with DLNA®.*"

I think the only Android phones that can compete head to head with Apple in the camera picture and video quality are Samsung phones.

I don't mind the plastic bodies Samsung uses. I was surprised how much lighter the Infuse was compared to the Inspire. The uni-body design is nice and all but it did add a lot of weight in addition to making the use of extended batteries impossible. Trust me... the Inspire needs an extended battery.

Anyway... HTC did step up their game with the HTC Vivid. Too bad they still fall short of Samsung who seems to be the only company willing to give us cutting edge Android phones.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
I can solve this thread easy....never buy htc ..... :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah the single core snapdragon can't process video like a hummingbird no doubt, I was referring to the vivid. you can get codec support easy enough and the vivid should have the power.

Samsung can make a hell of a processor. and a tough phone. still they have issues. GPS is wonky. its adequate but not iPhone good. then there was screen qc issues on the sgs2 probably why the us models almost all have 4.5 inch screens not 4.23 inch. then there is the whole system they change for no reason. why did they have to swap boot.img for initramfs and use hardware without open source drivers or documentation? and the Samsung software is sometimes buggy, they push too many new products and **** on the old ones and I've seen devs like supercurio complain about the newb mistakes in the source code.

there is no phone I'm blown away by right now but I feel like atleast Samsung wins from a design and technology perspective. if only we could count on updates.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
Had nothing but good times with HTC phones

E3D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Agreed. And they're unlocking their bootloaders now. Or at least trying to so with the majority.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] verticae:
I've had a Wildfire before my Infuse, and I have to say I was majorly disappointed with the hardware as well as the amount of bloat it came with (thank you, T-Mobile Europe). The fact that my Angry Birds ran like a freaking slideshow while my friends could play it easily on phones that were three years older really did it for me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bscotth:
Sorry man but I went from Infuse to GSII and I definitely have seen an increase in speeds. The Samsung-made Exynos processor is much better than the one in the Infuse.

But anyway, I recommend the Samsung Galaxy SII over all the AT&T phones currently. While the Skyrocket is clocked higher at stock, it uses a Qualcomm processor and doesn't perform quite as well as the Exynos.

Also, the GSII easily has the best developer support out of all these phones.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
only thing stopping me from getting the sgs2 is the screensize lol not sure i can use a smaller screen
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bscotth:
When I had an Infuse, I thought that same thing. When I moved to a 4.3" screen, I found only positive things with it.

Easier to hold

Higher PPI

Less battery drain (almost unnoticable but physics says its there)

And honestly, I can barely notice that the screen is smaller. 4.3" is still a great screen, especially with Super AMOLED + technology.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jamesd86:
Gs2 has been 98 bucks at sam's club for like a month, hard to beat.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
with new line im looking to buy off contract
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Carnifex3:
Wait for skyrocket HD :-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
honestly with the way new phones are going I'm considering getting a used captivate or nexus 1 off contract. I left the captivate cuz I hated the forum. too many newbs and a lot of bad development, but honestly when I see another captivate I miss mine. and I would like to play with cm9.. and the nexus1 is just the perfect phone layout. the trackball is much more useful than a touchscreen when navigating text and flash based website games and the trackball multi color notifications are way cool.

don't get too caught up in specs. the interface and future proofing is far more important to long-term satisfaction and you only get futureproofing with international flagship phones and nexus phones, more so nexus phones. these half-assed halfbreeds coming out with more ooh and ahh than innovation (animations, 3d effects extra 3d cameras and screens that hurt your eyes...) are exactly what buisness people want. phones that sell but leave you wanting the next one and never having full satisfaction. get something proven, not something new. that's my advice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Yup. Processor, RAM, and so forth don't matter... They don't correlate with performance anyway.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
I'm wondering if it's possible to connect my Razr wirelessly to my TV to mirror content from the phone to the TV?? It has HDMI out and that's the route I've been considering but it's a long range deal, needing a 25' cord for the routing which could be a problem with signal degradation. Is it possible to mirror content wirelessly to the TV??? Or should I just order the 25' cord???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
I wonder if there is a wireless hdmi adapter that could work for you.
