In ICS android OS accounts for more vital services now. It is perfectly normal. your phone overall is NOT draining more Android OS is just reporting as a larger percentage.

Hi Guys,

You guys made me feel like a **** ... I just got the phone ! and i'm sticking to the contract ! :D > I promise !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kvizz:
supposedly tmobile blacklists phones if the user does this.

Stop being a chump. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
Yeah... don't do this. T-Mobile will probably blacklist the phone anyway, they know about this kind of scam & they purposely take 4-8 weeks to send out rebates because of it. You're out of the remorse period by then & you'll owe the $200 plus the $35 activation fee, AND the first month's bill. Not worth it & frankly, dickish.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] claud_face:
So my mom did a two year contact a month or two ago bit didn't get a phone because didn't need one. Tmobile said she could get one whenever she wants its just from that date the two year contract would renew again.

Thing is she has no data plan. Is there anyway someone knows that I'd be able to benefit and get gs2 through her upgrade without her signing data or anything???

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spovik:
No because the data service contract is on a per line, so if the upgrade is performed on her line, the data requirement would also be on that line so she'd be paying for data if you did the upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TASL:
Not familiar with T-Mobile, but could you get the phone - wait for the rebate - then cancel the data? I know on att they force a plan in smartphones, but currently running a mytouch unlocked with no data and want a new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
I talked to a T-mo rep recently since I bought my phone on Amazon and then heard about the promotion...you have to sign up for an unlimited mintues plan weather you are a subscriber or new signer; and you have to get a data plan. Both are locked in for two years subject to termination fees.

After all that I would end up paying like $30 extra per month which wasn't worth the discount.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbernusg:
The plan is not locked in - the data is not locked either, especially on the value plan. You can take the web off all togetheer. Once you get the rebate u can lower it your plan. They will not blacklist if you cancel

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SGS2X:
I don't know about the US but if you were in Canada, you'd be locked into a 3 year contract, and if you cancelled anywhere before the 16th month you'd be paying $600 in cancellation fees (after the 16th month, minus $20 per month from the $600 lol), on top of what you paid for the phone (probably around 150) and the $35 admin fee, plus an extra month's bill if you decide to port out (around $50-65 depending on your plan, could be a lot more too).

This is why when we see "Free iPhone 4S from Best Buy this weekend!", we flame the OP because it's no where near free lol ends up costing a lot more than the outright price.

Oh yeah, if you decide to take the data portion off of your plan, automatic $200 ETF for just that here in Canada lol

Service (data) should not be under contract. If your phone breaks and use a nonsmart phone.. Call in and remove data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spovik:
FYI the loophole of switching to a nondata phone and removing the data feature requirement was changed several months ago. If your SGS2 breaks and you switch to a junk T9 flip phone, you're going to still have data on that. You can reduce the quantity, but data will not be removed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
This is true. I found this out when I tried to remove the data plan on the second line that I opened for my douchebag ex-best friend. He bailed & stuck me with a line that I didn't need & when I tried to get T-Mo to remove the data plan, they refused, saying that since I initially opened the line with a smartphone, a data plan was required for that line no matter what phone was being used with it. I told them that the line wasn't even being used at all anymore, that the sim was just sitting in a drawer, but they told me the data plan could not be removed for 2 years no matter what.

Hey all!

I am on CM 7.1 (11-11-11) build by Quarx.

Will I loose any data if I flash CM7.1 zip from recovery?

Sometime back I fiddled with multitouch by installing an app from market which used fo work in 2.2

That screwed up CM7, but I managed to get rid of Defy Multitouch Enabler.

Now, CM7's own implementation of changing multitouch points is screwed up and I just can't go above 2 points.

I am also having some other problems like sometimes when I pick up a call/ make a call, I can't hear anything and neither can the other person. I have to reboot to solve this issue.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronnie9242:
the device is based on qualcomm 8255 chip just like HTC Sensation XL

but im wondering why with a same mkv video data, XL can play it with hardware acceleration or you can say hardware decode ,but not on Ray with the same player software, i used to try by bsplayer downloaded from the market

so im wondering if there are something missed on stock rom to make it work?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] respawned:
Ray have MSM8255. Which is Single-core CPU + Adreno 205. Sensation XL have MSM8255T, which is Dual-core CPU + Adreno 220.

Answer is: No, you cant play video with res. higher than 720p (and not even the .mkv ones.) Still, you can use players, like DICE with software acceleration enabled to watch those videos (1080p=laggin hell).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronnie9242:
no, HTC sensation XL is also this chip running with 1.5Ghz with adreno 205

the video is 720p, i know this chip can only afford 720p decoding
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronnie9242:
the same result with HTC Flyer with 8255 adreno 205
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
What difference does it make?

Your device doesnt have 1280x720 screen resolution, It's got 854x480. So a 480p video is perfect for the device's screen...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] respawned:
Emmm, go to any device specific site, and lurk there abouut those platforms. Sensation: Dual core, Xperia 2011 : Single core
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronnie9242:
i think the problem isnt on the display resolution...

the problem it it cant event play the video data.. i should have transfered the media type to make it playable.. that isnt economic...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ronnie9242:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation_xl-4161.php

single core 8255 with adreno 205 certainly

maybe its different spec in different country.. but in Asia, its single core 8255...just like Ray and HTC Flyer...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
There are 3 different Sensations... The normal one, the XL and the XE. The normal one and the XE have a MSM8260 dual core clocked at 1.2 and 1.5Ghz respectively. The XL is the only single core one. So yea you are wrong and right at the same time :-P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
I am currently a happy SGS2 user for almost a year. BUt ive been thinking if i should switch over to the galaxy nexus by the end of this month. Actually the only reason that is holding me back from getting a nexus is the rather average camera. And the 1080p video recording has this really annoying wobbly effect which AFAIK does not have a fix. Hardware wise ive been told its a step down from the S2 but day to day performance is on par. So do you guys think its a good idea for me to switch over or should i just stick to my S2 for now and wait for the S3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
It would be best to think for yourself...

I have them both but the gs2 is on sale, and i will never go back to a non nexus device.

Btw, this exact question comes up every single day recently........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cirian75:
As a guy who had his 1st GN die

Had a GSII as a loan phone for a week.

and then got his warranty replacement GN

I much prefer the GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind. Haven't been able to find many S2 users who migrated to GN to know about their opinions between the two..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
You should just wait for GS3. Honestly the gs2 is just a sidestep mostly. The only compelling reason that wins hands down is Google support and development. Besides if you get the nexus now, it kinda seems that you might kick yourself in da butt for not waiting a few more months.

Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndreaCristiano:
I had the SGS2 and I switched from a nexus S and am now back to the Galaxy Nexus as awesome as the SGS2 and possibly the 3 are they will never be better than a Nexus device. The Nexus with the direct link to Google updates and pure android without bloat or a skin UI is always better and faster. The updates are going to be way ahead of carrier/hardware UI having phones. So in the end I wont ever buy a non Nexus Android again no matter the specs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samoevn:
Hi first I had galaxy s 2 i9100 then I got galaxy s 2 t989 for T-Mobile then paid 685 for galaxy nexus. I had all 3 then I sold the galaxy s 2 i9100 next galaxy nexus and I kept the T-Mobile version t989 its the fastest of them all. And it has all the bends for at&t T-Mobile 3g and 4g. Once it gets a ICS rom it will bee more faster. Cm9.

I am not here to BS I had all 3 Nexus has the software but has lots of shortcomings ( ext. SD and the processor, camera and so on) but its the best phone in hand.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Touchwiz and Ice cream sandwich = yuck.

If the OP cares about development and having the latest and newest android version get the nexus. You won't disappointed. Sure the Galaxy S3 may have better specs but have you seen touchwiz on 4.0?

After all it is just a phone and galaxy nexus is already fast as it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
Interesting comments here. My sister's contract should be up by the time the S3 arrives in my country (Hopefully by mid July) so i can always get the nexus right now and switch over to the S3 later. No loss there. The only concern is if i were to get a nexus right now i will have to bear with it until the S3 is released later this year. I dont mind the specs and form factor of the phone, i got to touch one today for the first time and i think it feels better in the hand compared to the S2.

Honestly the camera is the ONLY thing holding me back right now. I hardly take HD clips on my S2 even though its great, but i do take a lot of pictures of random sights and objects. Not really a huge loss to me but i do take camera quality into consideration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Check the GN picture thread in General then. A lot of ppl have posted pics taken with their GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Or Flickr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
I'll check them out! :)

Also can someone enlighten me on the 1080p recording? In most video samples the video has this awful wobbly/wave effect while panning and focusing and it really spoils the whole thing. Is it due to the phone having a poor camera sensor or software settings?

Im refering to the wobbly effect seen in this video

[YOUTUBE]hvaL4I4NCf4[/YOUTUBE]

While it should look something like this (No wobble)

[YOUTUBE]W1NGujTuCwA[/YOUTUBE]

To my surprise there doesnt seem to be anyone talking about this issue so im really curious to know!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fnf:
I recently switched from the SGS2 to GN. I'm almost completely happy with the S2 except:

- The necessity to depend on Samsung to publish new firmwares means it will be quickly abandoned in favour of the S3. The S2 is still the king of the hill for the time being but I have no doubt when S3 comes out the S2 will receive 1 or 2 minor upgrades at best.

- Compatibility, some apps and games do not work correctly with it (there are many examples that I don't feel listing).

- Not all games run smoothly, despite the powerful GPU due to compatibility problems (Gameloft is the prime suspect, although others such as Shadowgun is shaky as well).

Here are the pros of Nexus devices:

- Direct updates from Google, of course.

- Guaranteed compatibility for all apps

- All games should run smoothly or satisfactorily as they should be well tested with Nexus devices.

Hardware is a toss, if you are in it for benchmarks only I'd suggest waiting for the S3 (and prepare to replace it when S4 comes out). If not, go for it and be rest assured that the GN will still be good 2 years later.

If it sounds a lot like the iPhone/iPad situation, because it is. Hardware superiority means naughts if it's driving sub-standard/unsupported software.

The camera is fine, I do think it's a problem of pre-production devices. I took videos in daylight and night time and none of those exhibit the waving issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
The wobble is likely the video stabilization. There's an app which you can turn it on and off with the GN and it does have a smoother video with it on, but some wobble as well. Some people prefer that over the jittery video that the GN produces with stabilization off (which is quite obvious in the second video link you posted).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
I see, does the cam corder have a built in option for video stabilization? I think the jittery is fine, i didnt even notice until you mentioned it. For now it seems quite likely that i'll be getting a nexus. Thanks for all your help guys, much appreciated. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abjexstallion:
The only thing that bugs me is the 5MP Camera... but about the S3 or a new GN or whatnot.... this always occurs every year or two so eventually you'll switch or maybe you stay... im really loving this GN...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
Unless you really want the nexus support and updates.

I would recommend waiting for the next Samsung galaxy s device whether it is called sIII or s II plus...

I believe that the next Samsung galaxy s device will be better than the galaxy nexus in hardware perspective.(camera,thinness,build quality, battery, maybe even screen).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
My $0.02

It's all a matter of preference.

The GSII is an amazing phone; my girlfriend has that and I have the GNex. She would take her GSII over the GNex any day of the week, and vice versa. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of the screen, camera, speaker, and SD card slot; however, to me there's no replacement for basic, stock Android on a snappy phone. The radio in my GNex seems to be better than her GSII's, but that's a subjective thing.

Yes, you can root and install a ROM on the GSII. Overall, the GSII is a better piece of hardware. However, my preference is a solid phone that's supported by Google and has no bloatware or lockdown at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ledlauzis:
The main thing what makes Galaxy Nexus better than Galaxy S2 is faster updates and native support from Google. You will first get updated, fixes, you don't need to wait till Samsung will create their TouchWiz.

Otherwise these devices are very similar. Camera performance is equal, the screen is bigger for Galaxy Nexus and it has a bit weaker technology but you can't see with your eye so both are the same quality.

If you would have Galaxy S or some other phone then update would be must have but upgrade from SGS2 to Nexus is not worth it as both devices are with similar specs and performance.
[HTC EVO 3D] majid25:
Ok so is it just me or are my download/upload speeds extremely faster when using my 3G to tether my computer? I say this because normally my speed for 3G is 0.88Mbps. When I USB tether to my computer I get like 2-3Mbps on 3G!! Even though this is a very good thing, why is that...If anyone would test this out as well and report back with results then we can come to some sort of conclusion
[HTC EVO 3D] jclendineng:
It's in part because the antenna is in the phone so holding it you will usually get less signal than say flat on a desk. So just setting it down in most cases will pull data faster.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shock8x:
Last night I left my phone in my car after the gym, from maybe 3PM till 5/6PM. No biggie really, it was in the spot I always keep it, completely dry etc. Well I went out to get it, the phone was stupidly cold and when I brought it back inside I noticed air condensing on the screen. I turned the screen on, and there was no haptic feedback pulling down the lock screen (MIUI .. cant remember which build).

And so now, I have NO haptic feedback or vibration from texts or calls. I'm not 100% sure what caused it, but because I had been using it at around 2.30PM and it worked, it must be down to the cold or condensation. Could anyone assist me as to how I can fix this? (It's an early/mid December Desire HD)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
It is always better to send it back for warranty if you still have it. Otherwise I would suggest thorough examination on the phone. It is not too long ago my haptic feedback went crazy and not functioning properly as it will only produce subtle vibration. So, I open up the LED compartment and realised that the rotating mechanism had something stuck between the rotor and the casing.

But anyway, I think your phone has short circuitry or hardware failure imo if there is no reaction from the rotor itself. Good luck with repairing though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shock8x:
You're saying the rotator near the LED / under the mesh at the top of the phone? If so this would explain a lot as IIRC I wiped the screen upwards with my thumb and may have gotten a few droplets into it - stupid as, I know.

How long is the warranty on these anyway? Everywhere seems to state different periods.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Hmmm, idk...you should have asked your reseller or confront them directly. Even on AP, there should be at least 1 year warranty or so. Check your warranty card if available. Pretty self explanatory eh? Hahaha...good luck then.
