Actually that is exactly true. The SGS2 has numerious advantages over the DS. First is the S3 snapdragon processor or samsung exynos processor. Both processors are at 1.5ghz. Also both processors have better GPU. Next is RAM amount. The SGS2 has 1024MB of RAM. The DS only has 768mb. Next is screen quality. The SGS2 has a brilliant 4.5in Super AMOLED Plus screen. Colors are deeper and richer. The DS has a 3.7in Basic LCD screen. Colors look washed out. Next is battery life. The SGS2 has a 1,800 MAH Battery. While the DS has the 1,450 MAH. Average talk time is 7.5hrs on the SGS2 while the DS is around 4 hrs of talk time. Next is dev support. The SGS2 has huge dev support. The DS barely has 0.01% support that the SGS2 has. Next is the SGS2 has much better support from the manufacturer. The SGS2 has had 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.2, and 4.0.3 all official os updates or leaked direct from samsung. The DS has seen 2.3.4 and 3 patches direct from htc. The DS is the red head step child for htc. The one and ONLY advantage the DS has over the SGS2 is the keyboard. Every other aspect it falls really short. And yes they are both "Dual core" but thats where the simulatiles end. There is also huge differences in quad scores (+2000 difference). Oh and the SGS2 has a 2.3MP front facing camera while the DS is a basic VGA. And the SGS2 also has a much better camera (They are both 8Mp) but samsungs is so much crisper and better color quality. Not to mention true zero shutter lag. So at the end of the day the OP Made a wise choice.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
I'm inclined to agree. Especially with the dev support, if you can move from a doubleshot to the gs2 without spending too much, its a no brainer. That's also assuming, of course, that you won't miss the keyboard, which is a purely personal choice.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Yes. But the DoubleShot is a beaaaaast!

Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AndroidBotx:
Lmfao. Not compared to the SGS2. Its a snail compared to it. The SGS2 is the beast. Bone stock 6500+ antutu scores vs 3000+ the DShot has. The max score ive seen a DS get is 7200 on Antutu thats maxed out OC to 1.782ghz. The SGS2 gets 6000-6500 at 1.2ghz and 8500-9500 OCed to 1.6ghz.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AndroidBotx:
Exactly. I agree. Couldnt of said it any better.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
Don't the SGS2 and the DS have the same exact chipset? Just the DSes is manufactured underclocked. Also benchmarks aren't everything. I'm pretty sure the DS can run anything the SGS2 can with ease.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
It's an apples to oranges comparison.

The OP was letting us know he was leaving, and almost led to selling his device to me, but ended up getting it to another - that creates purpose for his posting.

The rest of this thread seems to have turned into someone trying to make themselves feel better by trying to put someone else down - don't feed the troll.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] FifteesGlasses:
The Doubleshot uses an S3 processor. I'm inclined to agree that the GS2 is generally a better phone for most people. I like the Doubleshot better because the keyboard is extremely useful to me and it fits better in my pockets. Also, being able to go directly to the camera through the button has been a lifesaver at times.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mrbmg:
I don't understand. These people like the keyboard, and its the worst keyboard on any phone that I have used... The keyboard is so bad it was easier most times to use the onscreen keyboard.

Unfortunately tmobiles best phone for now is the s2. Its sad because there are some better phones out but tmobile is always behind the times.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] marc12868:
It's true that it isn't the best keyboard... My java based Rumor Touch had a better physical keyboard when I had it, but the DS is probably one of the most powerful android phones that have a physical keyboard and after using it for a couple months I can type on the keyboard fairly fast and it does seem to give better tactile feedback then when I first got it, it's like it just needed to get broken in. But to each there own. I was used to using an onscreen keyboard since my last 2 phones were just candybar style androids, but it's nice to have a physical keyboard.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] TheManDroid:
The right feel...

IMO, it is all about how the phone feels/performs in your hand and how it meets your demands. The SG S2,for me, feels too fragile/plasticy whereas the DS feels sexy, soft and yet dorable and can go the distance. Phones are like girl friends, you don't have to have the most popular girl, just the one that feels right for you.

I'm curious about this as well. I like having a SD Card permanently mounted, but I feel like the icon is quite annoying.

I do like other notifications, so I don't want to turn them off altogether. I looked in all the obvious places within settings. Am I missing something?

It almost feels like its not supposed to be inserted full time......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
There isn't a way to turn it off.

It stays there permanently because clicking on it allows you to "safely" remove your microSD card in addition to opening the files on the card in File Explorer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
The dismounting function is the equivalent of training wheels on a bike. It's really just meant for idiots not to take out their card while it's still being read. I take it out all time without issue.

And you can get to the card within any browser if you know where to look.

[Android Apps and Games] Archangel22:
Can someone recommend me a 3x good applications to use for my new android phone?

1) I would like battery saver app becuase Ive noticed my battery guzzles alot of power and Im charging alot than I should. I have removed my live wallpaper and wifi is off but I would like to stop other things that are chewing it up also.

2) An application like a file explorer so that I can browse my SD card and open apps when needed just by selecting it.

3) A task manager app to see what is running or what is not closed so that I can just end it.
[Android Apps and Games] Silvane:
1. Try juice defender. There are a lot of other apps like this so if this isn't to your liking there are lots of alternatives.

2. Es file explorer and Astro are two of the most popular. Personally I recommend

FX file explorer.

3. I don't use/like task managers so I can't recommend any.
[Android Apps and Games] Rukbat:
Juice Defender will do some things, but stop running things you don't need. Like set sync for 30 minutes or more. Turn off 3G/4G when you don't need it. Keep GPS off when you don't need it.

Setup/Applications.Running services.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Don't use task killers and such. The processes will restart themselves, and that what's uses most battery.
[Android Apps and Games] Slymobi:
1. Autostarts.

Stops apps from loading up under x conditions so battery will be saved as apps not running and eleminates the need for task killer etc etc.

2. Esfilemanager a must.

3. Task killers are a placebo and use more resources than they actually end up killing but......

Fastreboot is excellent at killing all but selected choices thus freeing up memory when needed.

Try my suggestions and give them a chance, I vouch for these and used for nearly a year now on whichever Tom I switch to.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
As the title implies, I know next to nothing about smartphones. Anyone care to explain what exactly turning on/off airplane mode does?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
It turns of

all

network traffic (also text and call network (2g))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastasauce:
Airplane mode shuts off your radio so you can't send or recieve calls/texts. Usually implies that on an airplane you'd want to shutoff these radios for safety.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
So it would be advisable to turn this on when I am in an area where I would be roaming (and don't want to get charged for anything at all)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Be aware that you will also not be able to receive phone calls and text messages, and you can't use your data connection, but yeah..., one cheap trip that will be :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
It turns off all radio transmissions...wifi, Bluetooth, cellular...

As long as I can turn on wifi when I am at my destination and browse the internet I'll be happy, lol

Make it short and sweet I need to call Verizon to try and get a replacement.. They're going to ask me some info that's on my about phone screen but I have custom roms and kernels installed..

Could someone with a stock phone please take a screen shot of the about phone screen so I can provide the correct answers when asked :-)

Am trying to help u out but its not allowing me to upload the pic it just says waiting for response at 100 percent idk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
Thanks for trying! If you're using the new xda app it's prolly related to that.. I read somewhere that people are having issues uploading pics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
If you're so sure it's a hardware issue wouldn't you have to send it back? In which cause they'd notice you've voided the warranty with root and/or custom ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
When I get the replacement I will return to stock.. But don't want to right now because I'll lose root through at least monday..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
You realize it's easy to tell whether a phone has been unlocked, right? Potentially, Verizon could see the flag has been set and tell you to go pound salt.

Also, the mic cutting out *COULD* be a software issue. You said it happens to like half the people, but I've never had it happen, and I know 4 people with the phone that have no trouble. That's 0/5, which is less than 1/2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
It's real simple.. I didn't post this to argue with people. If you're willing to help me out then thank you. If not, then shut the hell up.

Look at the topic "microphone cutting out mid call" I never said it's hardware or software. But I do know it's not related to my rom. I've had Verizon replace my phone already for this issue and to be quite honest I'm looking to get a different phone because I'm sick of this one screwing up.

The issue I'm having is totally irrelevant, I just need a screen shot so I don't have to go back to stock 4 days earlier than necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
Go out of your way to waste yours and my time.. Lol. You'd think I'm asking for something illegal by people's reaction.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
What they're likely going to ask is Android version, baseband, build number, etc. to check if you're updated to 4.0.2 or if something got corrupted or whatnot. It's not like they're going to ask what the kernel version is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
Why don't you guys stop being dicks and just help him. Go troll somewhere else. He obviously doesn't want to sit stock for 3 days. Who would? I'll get my Buddy to send me a picture for you bro. Give me a few

I guess people are just plain dumb here huh. There's a whole thread just on this problem. Root or stock its still there. They won't just let you switch out phones to something else. I am pretty sure they do the whole refurbished thing like 4 times before offering a different phone. I had to do this with my old fascinate.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
No its GB, KK1 is old hat, therefore theres bound to be updates avail if you install that, you really need to put something quite recent on there to avoid the nagging update issue otherwise if you dl it you will lose root.

Iphone getting Face unlock, hmmmmm, dont know, i wouldnt have thought that was something theyd be keen to implement in their software tho they may release it as an app, it comes as standard with most Tosh laptops these days, its quite an annoying feature i never use, no reason to lock my laptop or phone.

Newer ROM s are available here

Update it using Mobile odin/CWM, update guide is there on same thread post #2. This way your system also gets updated to latest N Root also will remain intact.

If you update over OTA, not only you lose Root, but also newer ROM will be non rootable.

Thank you.

If I flash the ROM under "Latest Not Directly Rootable", my phone will still be rooted?

But I will lost all the previous settings, right?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Yes, your phone will remain rooted with non rootable rom too.

No, if you select non wipe ROM, you won't lose any data.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
As such you can have any latest ROM, there is no regional bar.

But if you want to update, according your existing ROM, then find this

What is your CSC

chek it with *#272*IMEI# (find your IMEI with *#06#)

you will find country sales code (CSC), N select to update according country you have.

I have download the LA2 version and flash it through CWM. But after that, the kernel stays on version KK1, but the build number has changed to ZSLA2 and baseband version is on LA4.

Am I on the the latest version? How come the kernel hasn't change?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
It is normal, b'coz you have selected to keep CF root kernel to keep root intact, thats Y it was not changed

Nothing to worry, just update it now

- Download This

-Extract on PC

- Run 'Already rooted'

-Confirm unknown sources N USB debugging enable on device.

-Connect device

-press any key to run script

It shud be finished in few seconds N device will be rebooted on successfull operation

Check kernel, it should be updated

Do I need to run this CFRoot Flasher every time after I installed new kerneL?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Almost new all kernel are identical, so once you update ROM in short interval, i dont think it requires, this time there was far diffrenece btn your kernel(KJ1) N ROM (LA4), so i recommend it.

But anytime same way you can update kernel after flashing new ROM.

All kernels available here.

Hey Everyone,

So, I'm pretty sure I'm going to unlock the bootloader on my Prime, but I had a quick question before I do, and I'm not seeing any sort of threads which help me out that much (Or at least the ones I looked at).

To make the story short, I'm looking to be able to root my tablet and install a custom ROM on there, however, it is to my understanding that there is no way to root the .21 firmware at this time. However, I was wondering if by unlocking the bootloader I would be able to manually push CWM Touch and thusly be able to boot into recovery, installing a rom that is pre-rooted, or even just rolling back to a previous update. I'm fairly familiar with ADB and terminal commands, so I am not shy to get into the nitty gritty if need be.

I apologize in advance if this has already been answered or asked, but, I'm in a time crunch and was looking for some advice :)!

Thanks for the information,

Horvaticus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkeyboywa:
um...sorry....it might come across as harsh but you didnt look did you? If your familiar with ADB then you should know that rooting has nothing to do with custom roms. In order to put a custom rom you have to have an unlocked bootloader.

Review the Android development Section for info on roms/bootloaders/rooting

An unlocked bootloader was released and we had a rom available within 2 hours.

If you go to ANY thread with [ROM] they will tell you what you need to do. Easy.

And .21 is cooked into many Roms so far...i'm using virtous Prime and prefer that one so far...(it's really about preference)

So...moral of the story..please read before posting...do a quick search...it's been answered before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Horvaticus:
Well, I know that rooting has nothing to do with Rom installment. Admittedly I was posting from a golf course and didn't take the time to sift through the threads. So, thanks for answering my question, kinda. When I said Root & Install a custom Rom I did not mean that in sequential order. Simply that I would like a Rom that has root baked into it, or be root-able.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
Unlock your device via Asus's unlock tool app.

Download and install Rom Manager from Market.

Install CWM via Rom Manager.

Download the rom you want to flash and transfer it to your tablet.

Reboot into CWM and make your first nandroid backup.

Wipe Cache/Factory reset.

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Flash the rom and reboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
you need root access to flash cwm from rom manager, afaik.

Yeah, you do. But I unlocked it via the unlock tool APK and then from there just installed CWM via fastboot and pushed the rom and crap to it. Thanks! Installing now!

2 weeks ago, all was normal. Fresh app added to Google Play had 100-1000 downloads peer day.

This week is some change, issue or Google Play bug. Every fresh app have...5-10 downloads peer day.

I hope you guys realise that there is an auto rotate setting in the menu and that it is off by default.
