My experience with the Infuse in web browsers was very sluggish and choppy as well as home screens that use live wallpapers. I don't do much gaming on my android so can't say how that is. It's been some time so I'm not sure if this is accurate, but the battery life didn't seem nearly as good as my GS2 running Unnamed or SHOstock.

Edit: As I no longer have the phone (returned it within a month and went back to my 3gs to hold off until I got this) I cannot say if it still performs like this. I did root, flash, etc, so it wasn't just a stock experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garbagecanman:
Is your sgs2 oc or UV at all. What battery do u get. I'm 1.2 with custom rom and some uving and I get almost 2 days battery on good days otherwise a day easy.

I strongly disagree.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tewan:
I'm running SHOstock with Entropy's 12/08 DD, stock battery, not sure about the clocks but I believe they're stock as well. Normally access to a charger is readily available, so I don't bother conserving it as much as some others do (I leave my screen on for 20 minutes before I notice it and turn it off). Because of this, I generally get a day and a half out of it on average.

I can easily go 2 days without a charge if need be, I'd just turn the screen timeout back on to around 2 minutes or so. A while back before tweaking I barely squeezed 2d8h out of it, but now I'd be comfortable going 3 days if I really had to.

Edit: I also keep my bluetooth on, GPS on, and wifi off, data connection stays on and I generally get 2 to 3 bars out here. I have two Google accounts syncing everything except for Picasa. I also use Llama that does cell tower polling (among other things) to automatically change profiles (primarily for volume changes).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
There are lots of ex-Infuse owners here. In fact, quite a few developers here are ex-Infuse.

gtg465x was on the Infuse and came here, MikeyMike01 came here for a while but then sold off all of his newer devices and went with an old Focus, I'm here.

From a developer's point of view, the GSII blows the Infuse out of the water. From a users' point of view, the difference isn't as obvious, other than that we have proper Gingerbread and the Infuse is still stuck with half-baked derivatives of the Rogers release. (AT&T leaks have improved things somewhat - but still stuff like MHL support is missing.)

Oh yeah - GPS on the GSII is a MASSIVE improvement compared to Infuse.

Given a choice between Infuse and GS2 both with contract subsidy - GS2 is a no-brainer. If it's a question of upgrading by paying full off-contract price - not so sure if it's worth it at this point. Better to wait for something else (International GS3 maybe?) or get a GNex.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garbagecanman:
Thx entropy I know alot of u ex infuse devs are over here now. Alot to think about. My infuse has good bat life. GPS locks kinda slow but is fine for me when connected. And speed wise my single core is just as snappy as dual I would bet. But that's just my opinion as a user and I value your input as a dev.

Thanks

Had the infuse for two Weeks. Made a ROM and wasn't happy with performance of device... Also had Atrix. Lg thrill 3d. brought infuse back and spent the extra 100 got gs2. Gs2 is better than all my phones for developing and use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Guti1977:
Screen was bigger however quality is better on the SGS2. SGS2 is way faster, GPS is also a lot better (locks faster).

Camera I think is also better.

There is no question SGS2 is THE PHONE :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garbagecanman:
Only difference is sgs2 cam does 1080p who hoo and they are identical screens no difference in quality? And I have a dslr for pics so camera on a phone doesn't mean anything really. For still or video. Its a phone.

For me, even if not for the improvements in development and ability to leverage the I9100 community for development - the GPS was a MAJOR factor in deciding to keep the device and ditch the Infuse. (I was on the fence and was considering returning it after a month since it was such an expenditure.)

The Infuse GPS was OK, but not good enough for me to trust it - I would NEVER have relied on it for navigation in any tough environment such as a city or even an area with good signal but densely packed roads. The I777's GPS is good enough to replace all of my standalone GPS units except for the ones I use while hiking. (In fact, my parents now have my old trusty "Dealextreme Pirate Special" GPS.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garbagecanman:
Nice write up. Decided for the sgs2 for my gf. Trading her iPhone 4(finally got her on the android wagon) . Kinda sad her first android is on paper a Beter phone than mine :( but I know my infuse will still hold it's own. I just wanted her to have something that's gonna have more value in the end like her iPhone which retains value. Unlike the infuse which value is only going down fast!

Thanks guys

I have 2 of each, and besides the video playback being slightly smoother on the sgs2 I can't tell the difference. The infuse has CM7 as does the sgs2 which are both still KANGed. Maybe I can give a good comparison when they join the nightly...

Just like the question.

My volume down button gets stuck sometimes so i can't enter recovery.

Also try 3 button combo, when you see splash screen let go power and volume down but continue holding volume up(maybe will unstick volume down) :)

either i'm doing something wrong, but adb doesn't recognize my device and i have the drivers. it sucks not have the - volume button not working.

is there another way that recognizes the phone to get into recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avidmovies:
could always get a jig to get into download mode, flash back to stock or another rom.

EDIT: next time, i suggest that app or setting up a recovery mode link in the power menu
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
Try going to mounts and storage, and set the usb mount to on. I haven't tried this but I know that the computer does recognize the phone.

the problem is that I can't use my "volume down button isn't registering" and adb doesn't see my device. in device manager all i see is galaxy s2 with an exclamation point. and the phone is stuck on the splash screen with the yellow triangle. if i could get into recovery i will be fine. the volume button is killing me right now. i need to get adb to see the phone i reinstalled all drivers and programs no luck. googled for 2hrs. struggling here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] crimsonconcepts:
Sounds like a driver issue if the computer sees the device with a yellow bang on it.

I would check for another set of drivers and then select the device and do update drivers and point it to the newly downloaded ones.

I don't know for sure, but would a jig get it into a mode that would allow for a flash?

Did your volume buttons ever work? Are you trying with a case on?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjdmobile:
Greetings,

Stock, rooted 2.3.4 AT&T. Locked boot loader. I have never "flashed" anything to this phone, and wanted to maintain warranty. This device is really choppy playing music so wanted to factory reset. Tried from both the phone menu, and "recovery" option after holding power and Vol down.

Unfortunately, it now comes up with the result listed in the subject. I have done searches for that term, and hear that I may get rid of it by SBF flashing? Is there any way to determine what the prob is without resorting to flashing? I am sensitive to unlocking the BL because I have a fair investment in lapdock, HD dock, etc and would like to have warranty on my phone.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Hello,

I have actually an Hannspad smb1007 tegra2 device, running on CM 7.2.0 RC (repack rev98) with antibyte's hybridKernel v3.

Although non games are working flawlessly, i have troubles in some games.

The symptoms are graphicals replaced with black boxes. I have tested of performance options in CM7, too. My CPU is not overclocked. I have tested without Chainfire 3D, too (currently running with it).

i basically have 3 / 4 games categories. The games are either bought in market, or downloaded from GetJar. I think they are all tegra specific

* thoses working flawlessly

Zen pinball THD (free, 1 table available)

samurai 2 (free on getjar)

siegecraft thd lite (free on market)

sleepy jack (bought on market)

* thoses sometimes with glitches working flawlessly after a reboot

sentinel homeworld (bought, but iirc free on getjar)

* thoses always showing glitches

captain america (bought)

cloud's n sheep (free, suitable good for tests)

Important: I *can* play them if in Chainfire 3D, i check the 'converting textures to 16 bits' option. This way i have no black artefacts.

* thoses crashing sometimes my tablet, insensible to chainfire 3D 16bits texturing

paper pinball THD (no graphic glitches, freeze, crash when killing the task)

soulcraft THD (huge graphic glitches, crash when killing the tasks)

Somebody is reporting having 4 hannspad, 3 ok and 1 with glitches in clouds n sheep. I wonder how to troubleshoot (logs, etc...) to see if this is an hardware issue, rom issue, and if this is fixable by software.

Thank you for your feedbacks / your help !
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Helllo, I m having the same problem with my gtab. Started when I first used nvflash to fix a boot loop. Ive nvflashed and changed roms, formatted, cleaned partitions, did just about anything. I finally kept beasties and clemsyns combo more for stability than anything else.

Some games with brken images ive seen are wsop poker, wolf toss, (none 3d), even gta III when im in the menus. 3d itself doesnt seem affected.

dont really think is a hardware problem but cant guess what more to do softwarewise. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Yep, did the same... did numerous things in fact.

I have tryed Wolf Toss: it displays is a large black box in place of the score board / info board.

Ishareyourshare, can you try:

* SoulCraft to confirm in game no graphics except character N

* Chainfire 3D -> Default OpenGL settings -> 'Reduce texture quality' is removing wolf toss problems (it works 4 me)?

TY
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Ok, tested rolling textures first and it worked...kinda. I was getting almost full black screen in Wolf Toss during the wheel spin. Now there are less black boxes, but, still there. Tested all other settings and still same behaviour. So dont knwo what to think about it. Funny thing is, when I first installed the game it had no problems. Then I nvflashed, put other roms and get this problem. For example, WSOP gave me no problems when I first installed it on my first custom ROM Calkulin Clemsym V.8.

Then I NVflahed and and reinstalled that same ROM and got several black boxes on WSOP. I installed wolf toss and gave me no problems. I reflashed and got black boxes ever since. somehow every time i nvflash it gets worse somehow.

Why did I nvflash? I kept getting boot loops. Ended up testing many roms and stayed on froyo beasties and clemsym due to stability so far. almost none or very very limited FC´s and crashes. Its just some games that are just messed up. Sad cause I really was looking forward to a portable PS2...Dont really have the need to use this as a laptop replacement.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Bery annoying tbh. Perhaps a partition issue ? Perhaps i should link to Gtab development as hardware/kernel gurus are there :D
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Please do!

I did think it has something to do with dirty partitions. Somehow NVFlash is not cleaning something there. Though I cant complain the stability I have found at this moment, would REALLY like to be able to play more games.

Weird thing I have looked through forums and nobody else seems to have seen this problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Yep. I second. This seems to be an hardware issue, although i'll NVFlash from APX to be sure.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudoso:
I have same problem with all 2.X and 3.x roms in me 1653 with only some games, like WOPS or Monopoly :s

I flash yesterday a ICS rom (alpha version) and HADENT THIS PROBLEM!!!

But this roms isnt stable to use :s
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Very interesting dudoso. Hope fards can get far enough for ICS :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
That sounds awesome and probably shows it's not a hardware issue. Still would love a solution for this issue in froyo. The stability so far is very good.

By the way I have tried apx mode nvflash and issue remains. One thing I have not tried is cleaning misc partition.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Same, APX to stock (with complete re-partitionning, so a full erase). I fear it is an hardware issue: i doubt Fards' kernel is using OpenGL widest functions, so his ICS build is not really representative.

I think we should be able to "softwarely" fix the issue, with tegra 2 targetted initialisations.

I'll contact nvidia to seek for an hardware test of Tegra 2 GPU... could help a lot :)

I could test Tintin secret of the licorn recently: after the loading, the menu screens is wrecked, but it comes correct 5/10 seconds after. I also tested quickly (refund) shadowgun: despite it is the same engine as Samurai II, it lacks huge textured parts.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudoso:
I already fix the problem with the textures:)

What I did was the following:

1. Reset the partitions with the NVFLASH *

2. Wipe data / factory

3. Install original ROM

4. Wipe data / factory

5. Install custom ROM

* Here was the problem, I used to restore the partitions, files can be found on this forum ... and that is what caused me the error.

Use a backup that I did when I buy the tablet, is a backup of my own tablet and not a downloaded and all fixed.

I could see that the files had a very different size and will probably cut some things, hence failure to give 3D graphics :)

Now run all the games before I went, monopoly, WSOP, shadowgun... :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Make sense ! Can you extract hannsconf.cfg and hannspad.bct filesfrom you own backup (assuming this is a factory backup) ?

Else, can you grab them ?

To create them:

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/25805-hannspad-backup-brick-recovery-destruction-guide/

cf post 2: backuping,

and post here the hannsconf.cfg (and eventually hannspad.bct) files.

Thank you very much !!! Perhaps there are slightly different models....

You could save us :D
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Sounds logical. On my first ROM install I did not Nvflash. Graphics where fine.

Got a boot loop and then problems started with my first nvflash.

Is there anway of knowing if we hold a different gtab version? I know mine 1.2 but any other difference?

So yes you could indeed save the day posting those files from your original ROM!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudoso:
SURE :)

I attach a rar with these files:

- hannsconf.cfg

- hanns.cbt

- partition.txt

If you edit partition.txt, can see it:

Only need calculate in each partition, "NumSectors x "BytesPerSector" (1536x2048=3145728) and edit "size value" in hannsconf.cfg, of course in same "id partition"

If you havent partition 14, then edit partition,txt and delete "PartitionId=13" (in me partition.txt is delete now) and edit hannsconf and edit size = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

And nothing more, flash original rom, after wipes, after custom rom and all is ok :)

EDIT

But i think that only can use this attach to compare because need "image part files" and maybe your files and my files arent same (my files for example are bigger than backups in this forum)

Try compare and if is needed, upload a full nvflash but think that only work if is for your own tablet :s
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Dudoso, question: when did you get your gtab, was it 1.2? I got mine from tigerdirect two months ago. I think there might be a batch of few gtabs with subtle differences in our partitions, hence the problems we had. Is the bct partition that small?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudoso:
I dont remeber but think that was 1.2... (now is 1.2)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Thank you dudoso ! 'll try it asap :)

@Ishareyoushare: i'm not able to answer this question, but mine was also a strange lot. I remember a guy destocking his hannspad - and noone did the same, in fact Hannspad was not distributed in Fr - so it can explain slightly different hardware.

In example, i suffered SOD with ROMs/kernel given to correct them, from the beginning (while i had no black boxes).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudoso:
If you want i upload all nvflash with me backup but... is about 200mb and i think that if use me bakcup it's same that if use backup of other person... think that need you own backup (if you have it)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
ok, Im not precisely technically illiterate but couldnt understand you Graveen. what did you do exactly?

And what is Nandroid?

:-)

Ok, Ive been looking through this and again excuse my ignorance but you guys are talikng about a Hannspad. Is it the same exact hardware as the Gtablet?? Cause from what I saw on the web the design is different from the Gtablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Yep, should be the same - at least we could expect identical issues. Hannspad bootloader is 1.2 (afaik 1.1 were never shipped, but i could be wrong).

Nandroid is a CWM tool where you can backup everything (in fact, data/system/cache/boot partition).

So, after fixing the partition trouble, i tryed to deploy my custom rom backup (cm7 with hybridkernel3).

In short:

1/ Fixing the "black boxes" trouble, Hannspad 1653

a) download a NVFLash package for your 1653. This package contains NVFLash, hannspad files, and images of partitions. You can find it here (for 1633 and 1653 models).

b) replace the files (hannspad.bct, hannsconf.cfg, partition.txt) by the ones dudoso provides above

2/ Restoring your apps/configuration from a Nandroid backup

Because boot.img is different - which i think was the problem - restoring a nandroid backup from CWM is not working.

a) install your custom rom, matching backuped one, with the appropriate kernel

b) choose advanced restore, and restore only system and data.

And voilà ! All is similar to what you had previously MINUS the "black box" bug.

Thank you guys !!! A lot ! :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudoso:
Ok then no need upload me "image parts", can use generics, perfect then :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishareyoushare:
Hello!

Ok, I've been looking through this and i think that maybe iwill just replace the bct file and image. From what i understand its function is to communicate with hardware so in theory it shouldnt matter if the bct is from another bootloader version?

Gtablets seem to have a diffeent partition scheme than the hannspad reading from the cfg file. Did the partition sizes and or names change after you fixed yours?

Should i also try dudosos bct? Im afraid it doesnt work since its designed for a hannspad and not a gtablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
I personnaly think that somehow, there are not enough room for something: an issue with temp datas (but strictly on tegra side), or even a missing library, perhaps handling 32 bits stuff. This can explain why texture 16 bits could make it work for 2D games (but not whole 3D games, such as shadowgun or soulcraft thd). I doubt this is a boundary error.

I also can't really explain why we are so few to have this issue. Oh, there are certainly more people (thoses who don't notice the trouble, thoses who think the game is not compatible, thoses who are not able to start a thread....) but this is not a general problem.

Imho here is what i would try if i do not own an hannspad:

- take the .img sizes, and recreate a matching size in .cfg/txt files - they could be wrong

- same, but i'd add some free kbytes (let's 1 Mb, ok you should waste 12Mb but this will give you room)

Ah bah, i'll diff the config files. Gimme 10 minutes :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
