Scorpion 1.5 ghz is no where near exynos 1.2 in sgs2

Megapixel doesn't count(through snapshot from dep sleep feature is cool in xperia s)

That 3D thing is just placebo

Just stay away from xperias have experienced xperia phone in past and its having pathetic software support and development...

and also stay away from i9100G

@OP if you really want the best phone currently then go for one x

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulaiman:
Look I respect everyone's opninion here but most of you are talking ****. I've had both phones and now I have the s2.

It's a ****ty phone seriously... you pay that much money for a phone with this low resolution... lets say the owner wont flash custom rom, than the xperia s is the better choice.

Why ? Its old what are you.sayin bla bla bla...

Specs aren't everything. If you chose your phone specs based than you're not wise. The software of the xperia S is far more complete and bugfree than that of samsung. It is despite having the older cpu much much faster in everyday use.

Sony is actually one of the best companies in terms of software updates... don't say the s isn't good because you had an arc ... what is that ?!

The galaxy s2 is useless as a smartphone becaus of the super amoled plus screen. It uses maybe double or more power than a normal screen when displaying white colors. And most webpages are white...

Also the one x is beautiful but it isn't the best becaus it has a quadcore cpu. It is.sometimes slow i've used it. Also the tegra 3 sucks power like hell. It is a cpu based on the arm a9 architecture wich is like used in the snapdragon s1 series.

Use both the one x and one s and you'll see despite the fact that the one s is only dual core the snapdragon s4 is waaay faster. This because it uses a proper cortex a15 architecture that is actually designed to make multicore cpu's of it...

The quadcore nvidia tegra 3 isn't more than.a marketing gimmick. It's nothing really new and of you say that the snapdragon s3 is old than so is the exynos and the Tegra because it's all based on the same old architecture.

My advice go either with the xperia s or buy an.one s online if you can't find it in your city...

maybe it's a stupid question... i'm gonna flash the new ICS Room but i dont want to see any rainbow..

actually i'm using ZTR rom... i installed it from froyo stock..

which bootloader i have?..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Suggestion since your not familiar with what your bootloaders are...do some reading...

and since ics is still being in the delivery room not born yet....

Do some homework...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MaliciousIntent69:
If you flashed the ICS kernel and you are seeing rainbow recovery, then you are on Froyo bootloaders.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GoSooners345:
What carrier
[Samsung Infuse 4G] quikvzla:
i've not flashed ICS yet, it's from att.. i'm not familiar with what bootloaders are.. according to some things I've read i know this is what "SAYS" kernel what to load until phone starts.. but when i updated froyo to GB with zeus 6 and then ZTR i did not do anything about bootloader just installed a 3e modded recovery and i could flash it well!! i've even got back to stock froyo using odin
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
froyo stock to ztr means that you most likely are on froyo bootloaders.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MaliciousIntent69:
Simply flashing a ROM wont update you bootloaders. The easiest way to update bootloaders is through Qkster's Heimdall from my experience. As far as Roger's goes I believe their stock Bootloaders are GB. I am not 100% sure of this, but I believe that is correct.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] randoug:
Take a pic of what your phone looks like in download mode so I can determine whether or not you have gingerbread bootloaders
[Samsung Infuse 4G] quikvzla:

This is the image what looks like in recovery mode.. i could take a photo of my phone so i googled one exactly the same.. also mine show at top of the screen

Custom Binary Download : NO

Current Binary : Samsung Official.. i think i'm on froyo BL.. i'll wait a lil ultil i know how to get GB BL so then i will flash ICS.. Thank you so muchh!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Use heimdall to flash bootloaders-put phone in downloaded mode connect to PC run heimdal and flash bootloaders
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jananan:
either qkster's or AdamOutler's back to stock will install GB bootloaders.

None of the custom ROMs have bootloaders built-in, only kernels, modems and such are built in.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Qkster's Hemidall is the easiest I've found. You need to flash the rom first before the checkbox to install bootloaders is available. Then check the box and flash again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] randoug:
Use hemidall 1 click back to stock uclb3...tick on "install bootloaders" (if the option cannot be ticked flash the the stock rom anyway but leave the hemidall program window open, ensure the phone is has booted uo completely then go back into download mode and then you should be able to tick it and flash over the stock rom together with gb bootloaders) ..then flash entropy dd to get cwm and root with super one click...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Is it really that bad to see the rainbows? Unlike previous Gingerbread kernels on Froyo bootloaders without the rainbowfix, recovery is semi-usable.

If you get the rainbows, you need to flash. If you don't get the rainbows, you don't need to. Best to check if you need the BLs first.

That said, what you've stated so far makes me think you're probably on Froyo BLs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] popi09:
I also want to know what BL I'm on. I bought the infuse already rooted and running Zeus build 6 v2. I'm also wanting to flash an ICS Rom soon and don't want to brick cause I have to pc.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
If you follow the direction on Entropy512 post, look at post 3 regarding bootloaders..... Read all op post 1-3 then read again...ok stay in that thread once you decided to run the ROM, any questions the fellow thread user will help, ok :)

So I guess I'm on the gingerbread firmware since my CWM is red? Sorry for all the questions, just don't want to brick lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Your on froyo boot loaders... just use Odin... flash the uckk4 leak... then the community kernel to get cwm.. sound like yo really don't know what your doing, so using hemidal might not work for you.. the UCKK4 leak will give you boot loaders... then flash jts custom recovery to flash ics....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Ok if really want to attempt this do some reading...i suggest using this thread link below ...no extra flashing with diff files it's setup to use one file to flash first and to flash with same file again..read the OP then reread...plus the support if needed is here...your call...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
No that has nothing to do with bootloaders.

Seriously, don't **** with them unless you've confirmed you need them by actually seeing the rainbows.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] number3pencil:
Hi,

I am looking to update my phone (I'm still running AOKP M4). I remember flashing CM9 nightly when it first came out, kinda just wanted to see what it was like. It was very buggy and many, many features had not been implemented. So, my question!

What is the current state of CM9 nightly? What is YOUR OPINION as to how far along it is (with 100% being the final release). I'm not necessarily a 'power user' with my Gnex so all I'm looking for is a reasonable amount of stability.

I know that there are plenty of nightly flashers out there, please share your opinions! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taappel:
I've been running the nightlies for the last few weeks, and I haven't had any problems. Cm9 is still missing a bunch of features that the final release will have, but it's been rock solid for me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnargle:
I've been using ICS on my O2 Galaxy S since around beta 2 of ICSSGS and never had any problems with it, until now at least. I had been using Doc's ROM V6 until thursday, when it decided to suddenly stop working overnight. (as in it would get stuck on the kernel splash screen). I flashed a a gingerbread kernel so I could reflash the ROM, which I still had stored on the internal SD. After reflashing the ROM everything seemed to be working fine so I continued to use my phone as normal on friday. However, I tried to play some music today and found that playback was in slow motion, making the sound very deep. I guessed it was a flashing quirk and flashed the official AOKP rom on to my phone, wiping all my data as well as the system partition. However, the problem remained. I flashed back to stock JVQ in the hope that this would fix it but no such luck, although the music plays at normal speed for a few seconds before slowing. The affected songs seem to be random, and it occurs in all apps, including games and youtube. Note, it affects all sound on apps that are not music players, whereas songs in music players are affected randomly.

Naturally this is quite annoying and it would be preferable to find a fix with it without having to visit a phone shop.

Thanks in advance.

Currently running CM9 on my Photon, would like to go back to stock, have searched and havent really found to much.

I have a feeling it's really simple and I am gonna feel silly for asking....heh

Boot into recovery,

hard reset X3

Reboot into rsd mode

Cm9 isn't as cracked up as they making out to be?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Slagathor01:
It was pretty nice, but not all it's cracked up to be. A few things didnt work.

But the most annoying thing was it didnt seem to know it was on Sprint network.

It was nice, and I dont wanna crap on the hard work put into it..

It's acting kind of flakey, I wonder if re-flashing it would help, I might try that first then maybe go back to stock.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Ive had very few issues with CM9 and ive followed it from the beginning Alpha stages.. Try a different version if you have issues. To each his own for sure some people will like others won't. I personally cant be taken away from it. Ive had VERY few network issues where it wouldn't connect and the not working items list gets smaller each day, its basically down to video camera in stock app and few other minor things. As for going back to stock if you need super detail check out QBKing77 on youtube, he has a video of exactly what to do.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Slagathor01:
I am currently running beta-0.1.0-2d-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Sunfire-KANG-signed, maybe I should just upgrade to beta-0.5.0-cm-9.0.0-RC0-sunfire-UNOFFICIAL-signed. If I do that, I pretty much follow the directions I did to flash the original correct??

Basically from about 3 minutes in on QB's tut video??

[Motorola Photon 4G] Slagathor01:
I will give that a try, I tried 3 or 4 times yesterday but it would get stuck on the M duel core screen.

Restored the back up I had and it was ok then.

No love yet again, I am using CWM 5.0.2.7.

It stops at the M duel core tech screen and just sits there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Did you flash twice? If you don't, it bootloops.

Do not wipe system when coming from a previous build. Wipe caches and fix permissions after you flash twice.

The way i got that rom to work on my photon was to run the original rom, then go back and flash the most recent version, that worked perfectly for me!

[HTC Desire S] xxzooma94xx:
I'm running a custom Rom. I wanted to restore my stock HTC desire s Rom, so I extracted the Rom.zip from the RUU and renamed it to PG88IMG.zip to put it on my SD card to try and flash it...my question is: can I do so if I have S-on?? (Btw my bootloader is unlocked via htcdev)..ask for more details if u want
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes, I believe that this should work, although which custom are you currently on using which kernel? as you may find that you'll need to flash the kernel from the RUU afterwards.....although you may get away with it if you were on a sense ROM
[HTC Desire S] xxzooma94xx:
Yes i'm currently using a sense Rom...(can't recall its name)..one question though: how -if I need to- will I be able to flash the kernel of that run....and I really thank you for your help, it's much appreciated
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'd suggest that you simply take a full nandroid backup of your current setup and try it....you can always restore if you need which will leave you where you are now - so nothing lost .
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
The bootloader will flash the kernel automatically - because it can (unlike recovery, which can't).

Also, the bootloader might not flash anything until you lock your phone back with HTCDev.

Nah, it just won't work with my pc, and since I'm running a custom Rom I can't re-lock bootloader and be actually able to boot into the Rom again, and to run the ruu from my pc I need the phone fully booted into the Rom...thank you anyway :)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I don't believe that either of the things that you've just said are correct.

You can install adb/fastboot and then reboot your device into bootloader, attach usb and use fastboot USB and then run the RUU

to relock the phone again you can put the device into bootloader and then use fastboot oem lock
[HTC Desire S] xxzooma94xx:
Oh oh I got you....that, or I can just put pg88img on my root of the sdcard and it should automatically flash it right?

My UK power adapter will obviously work in the US if I have a 3 pin to 2 pin adapter. My question is, do I actually need to use this power adapter? Can I, for instance, use a 10w Apple iPad power adapter for it or is that too powerful?

Thanks

[HTC One S] Leviathan2k:
USB power adapters are standardized, and the power output of an adapter is always its maximum output, it can always deliver less. So in theory at least, you can use the iPad charger (or any other USB charger) with any microUSB cable to charge the One S or any other microUSB phone. Ah, the beauty of standards.
