after using the android for a couple week i still think ios is a lot ez to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bluntman420:
IOS is garbage plain and simple. Apple forces you to use things THEIR way. With android you can fully customize every aspect of your phone. I've had an iphone and their crap compared to Android, especially this skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BootyWurk:
Restore

Try going into recovery mode (turn phone on while holding both volume buttons) and if u made a backup before restore to it, if not then mount ur usb storage from there and put a new rom on it in the root folder then try to install that but try a clean wipe and all that first to

all this can be done in the recovery menu

It's not android that's complicated.. You could have stay stock and use different launchers to achieve alot of customized looks but you JUMPED in and it sounds like you might have not have been prepared with enough info...

[HTC Sensation] c19932:
one of the main reasons I am keeping the sensation is that it has a big enough screen (4.3") and at the same time the phone itself isn't too big. I think the only other phone of similar size that has a 4.3" screen is the GS2.

who else here dreams of a 4.3-4.5" screen phone with minimal bezel? now that the 4 buttons could be replaced in ICS
[HTC Sensation] overthinkingme:
That's too big. 3.8-4.0 is the sweet spot. The Defy almost had it right.
[HTC Sensation] townay:
but anyway I look at it, GS2 still shows its massive black bezels (top/bottom). Sensation is the closest thing to minimal bezels.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

4.3 is good for me. I absolutely love it.

I wish Rezound would be available in Taiwan..

Still, theres Ville and Edge. If these two are still US carriers only like the Rezound..hell I'll rage lol.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Yes, 4.3 is perfect for me. Been in love with that size since my HD2. My Defy is to small for me. I wish HTC would make a 4.3 inch waterproof phone.
[HTC Sensation] johnerz:
4.3 is my sweet spot not to big, still light and fits into my pocket, and most of all with my ageing eyesight I don't struggle to read anything :)

If I go back to a job needing a suit I would pop for the 4.7 inch :cool:
[HTC Sensation] neoseal:
Waterproofing

You should check out a company called Liquipel (had a booth at CES 2012) that can waterproof anything by putting a nano coat over the phone. From what I understand it only costs like $60 to do a phone.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
i remember my HD2 which i got at release... everyone was mocking me about how HUGE my phone was :D now its standard.

to be honest, 4.3 is perfect! everything above is to big to hold, anything under is to small/not optimal.

HTC needs to make thinner phones though... to thick in general. HTC Ville will be grate, but worried about Edge :/ (sensation could be thinner)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I think my last phone, the Incredible S was just about the right size at 4". At least it seemed right in comparison to my XE.
[HTC Sensation] trust-no-one:
I find the sensation 4.3 screen just perfect, the screen is quite big, but it easily fits into my pockets. I dont like the s2, its kinda ugly lol.... i dont like how its so thin and plastiky. The sensation is thicker, which many people hate, but I adore >< Feels great to hold.
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Sensation screen size and amaze screen size is perfect. 4.3, bunp up to 4.5, too big. Bump down to 4.0, too small

4.3" 16:9 (our sensation) is perfect. 4.3" 16:10 (evo) is too wide in the hand.
[HTC Sensation] pieeatingcontest:
I agree. Sensation is perfect size. 4.3 for me. Any bigger and it would feel like a tablet. Any smaller and I would end up getting knots in my fingers when I typed.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dpj13:
I had one of the latest versions of miui and somehow lost recovery. I used Odin to flash my phone back to stock with recovery and root. When it finished and my phone restarted it would freeze at the Samsung logo. I installed a gingerbread rom which gave me access to recovery. So I wiped everything and installed Zeus. When the phone boots it force closes once and whenever I install an app. I am able to download it but once it finishes installing the screen goes black and restarts the launcher. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rkkaranrk:
What Odin did u used to stock I would say flash it with gtg stock rom and from there flash Zeus again.

I tried gtg also and it gave me the same result as the stock rom

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
There seemed to be a shortage of SGS2s or something. I checked Expansys, Negri, Amazon, and MCO a few weeks ago and they were all sold out. Then Expansys started having them again a week or two ago so I ordered.

Turns out to be a i9100G... Uhmmm. That sucks for ROMs.

Is this the new trend now? I want a regular i9100, not a G version.... What can I do (other than buying used of course)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Return it, you've bought the G version this should not be advertised as an i9100. If they advertised it as an i9100 and sent you a i9100G then that's false advertising.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
absolutely. im going to return it. but at the same time im wondering if its possible to score a i9100 still.... if not then oh well :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Why not buy from ebay if you are in US. Got mine for 400 dollars new with accessories.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
always possible. a bit lazy to vet sellers and quality varies person to person.... i wouldn't mind getting it new considering Negri and Expansys offer warranty support for US customers at least.

I also see it on Amazon and I can get it with Prime shipping, but I'm afraid they'll ban me if I return this. I just returned a set of $130 headphones from Christmas that I decided would be a bad gift.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horoscope:
Before buying a SGS2 I was using HTC Sensation, was infact very happy with sensation but suddenly decided to switch to SGS2 since everyone boasting about it.

as of now i am still very happy with the phone, especially the Screen and how fast the phone is... but there are some issue which i have found only on Samsung firmwares..

1). The lag in opening the contacts and dialer app (it feels like a 800 mhz phone, takes min 3-4 secs)

2). I also find lag in gallery app..

i have never found these lags on HTC phones, even on nexus one..

I have tried many roms on my SGS2 but no sucess :(

Only CM7 & CM9 roms have zero lag

above all these i am very disappointed with Samsung for still not releasing ICS, dont understand why there is so much delay..

they have made such a great piece of hardware but such pathetic software support.. we shell so much amount for these devices but look how Samsung treats its customers.. same happened with SGS1 also i believe

I have decided not to buy Samsung phones from now on.. it is better to go back to HTC

thumbs down to guys at Samsung !!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Still not releasing ICS? Please do tell me which phone other than Galaxy Nexus actually has the official ICS? Considering Galaxy nexus is a samsung phone, in a way, they did release a phone with ICS.

Edit: Also hilarious that you are whining on XDA considering there are tons of ICS roms already.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horoscope:
ywah true in a way, but when they have such a good hardware why cant they be quick, they took their own sweet time for GB on SGS1, we also know what happened to Samsung Wave.. even for 2.3.6 update for SGS2 Indian users was release just few weeks back

they have always delayed proper support for their phones

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattix724:
I don't think anything is wrong with Samsung. I recently got my Epic 4g Touch from sprint and I've had two updates. My last phone on the other hand received 1 software update to 2.2.1 and all development was abandoned by the manufacturer and developers here on XDA had to pretty much beg for the source code.

In my opinion Samsung has created an amazing series of phones that will have a long life with development from Samsung and the developers here on XDA.

It's a problem on your side, not a general SGS2 problem. Just try a custom ROM like CheckROM, and disable all animations with Spare Parts. Your eyes will not be able to see how fast apps open.

SGS2 is the fastest piece of mobile hardware I've ever used, no doubt about it. It's much faster than my friends' HTCs.

About ICS, Samsung's competitors haven't released an ICS ROM either. This ICS thing is way overhyped anyway. It's not much more than a pretty skin over Gingerbread with a cool new launcher. Everytime I try out an ICS ROM, I come back to Gingerbread wondering what the fuss is all about.

But then again....the have problems to. So please deal with it in the hope we dont get more of these kind of threads and for the love of XDA search bar......use it.

Patience is a virtue dude. Wait and you shall recieve. Samsung have released a number of regional updates since this phone has been released compared to some other manufacturers.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
The "problem" with Samsung is that they want to do it right, not quick.

The most recent ICS leak (which, in case you didn't catch it, is the current version/build of ICS Sammy is working on ATM) still has a few bugs and issues and they want to fix those first and make the ROM stable and bugfree before releasing it as an official update.

As already said, show us ONE other phone (esp. HTC, which are always way behind updates) that has an official, final ICS update already.

So, on the other hand: what is the problem with YOU?

why dont you simply sell your SGS2 and buy HTC again..........

i had HTC once with windows mobile(Touch Diamond 2) and once with Android(Wildfire) and both of them are garbage in terms of quality,software,updates etc.....Samsung is generaly better and SGS2 is fantastic phone :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA mark:
First of all, without wanting to offend the OP, your post doesn't make sense. You say you are mad with Samsung, but happy with your phone, but you are not happy with your phone, and will never buy a samsung again. I'm like: ...what o_O

Now trying to actually post something that might be usefull to you: the two points you mention that make you don't want to buy another Samsung ever again (which is kinda weird) are:

A little lag when opening the phone app

A little lag when opening the gallery

You could try a different ROM. Just to give an example, with my setup (see my signature) I open the phone app with super-ultra-hyper speed. Plus it looks exactly like the ICS one (because of the theme I installed). Since you are also feeling the need for some Ice Cream Sandwich, this could also solve that problem. The gallery app opens a little bit slower for me as well, that's because it has to load a ****load of pictures.

So, person who created this thread:

-Flash another (good) ROM

-Flash an awesome kernel

-Flash ICS theme to feed your ICS fetish

Hey sorry ahead of time if this question has been answered already. I actually searched and haven't found anything.

I really don't care about changing roms or anything like that. I just want to root my device to tether and run other apps that require rooting. But I do not want to lose my data.

I know for the transformer prime I was able to. But I can guess that devices are different.

Follow the steps and you will have your access.

You can also try just doing the HTCDEV method and downloading joeykrim's root checker(to verify root) and chainsdd's superuser(to enable superuser permiasions) from the market. Oh yeah, you'll need a tethering app.
