I noticed the ICS voice is better too.

I think you can get other TTS engines or voices on the market. I haven't checked on ICS, but I though GB lets you change it a little by choosing s different language, like British English, with the built in voice.

Hey guys I've had the sensation for six months and all of the time I've had it I've wanted a sgs2, if only somebody would trade me one ( pm if you'd like to hear my offer :D).

I'd just like to know what are the disadvantages of this phone or any weak points? Does the phone overheat? When the screen is displaying something black can you see your reflection? Etc...

Oh any by the way what's the difference from the gt version and the normal international version?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sims34:
The galaxy S2 would be the best deal, it has the Super Amoled+ screen, it has more Ram( 768mb vs1gb ),its more slimmier, it weights around 30g less than the Sensation, more internal storage( 1GB vs 16/32GB ), better GPU, better frontal camera. I have the S2, and i'm very proud of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shkoks:
s2 its just perfect....sensetion is cool too......if i were u .....wait s3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akatosh:
Nah I don't really want a quadcore, just a sgs2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram3n:
Well. If you wanna a s2, then just buy a s2.

You can't be disappointed my friend. It is a very best of. :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akatosh:
Thanks I've fully made my mind for it now. I just want your Guy's opinions on my offer for an international sgs2, IM NOT ACRUALLY TRYING TO GET IT OFF YOU, I just want your opinion, HTC sensation in really good condition no marks or scratches, it also comes with.$220 in accessories and I pay for the cost of international shipping that you would usually have to pay

If you are even remotely interested please don't post here, for on my profile and find my want to trade section :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
Have to agree with the others... it's still the best phone (or top 3).

And NEVER say you don't want a quadcore phone... that makes COMPLETELY NO SENSE.

Who doesn't want more power?

BUT - if S3 is really coming out soon (next month)... maybe see if you can wait for it... because even if you don't want it - it will surely make the prices of S2 drop (so you can find it for cheaper price).

Now that ATT is throttling "over users", I started really turning on the WiFi on my Inspire when at home, just to stay on the safe side.

Today I get a letter that my Internet (cable) provider is limiting usage. Only good thing, limit at my contracted speed is 250GB. If one exceeds the limit, they get a letter. On the third overage, cost if $10 for 50GB.

Now I really have to be careful because I am using my PC, my Inspire and my Toshiba Thrive.

Does this apply to Uverse? That's what we have, I do a lot of online gaming over Xbox Live, use my phone on Wi-Fi as does my mom and I download a lot of other stuff, to my knowledge we've never gotten a letter.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
actually this convo should be on dslreports not inspire 4g. yes all service providers cap if you hit an excessive amount this has been known since weve had internet. if youre pulling 10G a day, you are far beyond online gaming an i can understand them shutting it down. Think about it if each person is pulling that much thats 3.6TB a year, thats expensive lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chevyguy85:
If brighthouse is capping then the cap must be insanely high as of yet I've received nothing from them. lol @ 10 gigs a day...nvm I plead the 5th :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] jdwilson:
Why should this be on dslreports? It is about a cable provider for starters, and it is pertinent information for AT&T users of HTC devices that have been (or will be) throttled, who then, diligently start using WiFi on their devices to keep AT&T off their backs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I agree with Darunion. This has nothing to do with the development of the Inspire 4G. This topic does not belong on this forum.

comcast is limited to 250 gig i never come close with phone and home network
[HTC Inspire 4G] graewulf1:
Umm, you guys do realize just how big 250GB is right? I use my connection heavily and rarely see more than about 100GB most months. You have to be doing some serious downloading of DVDs or such to even think of hitting that limit. I use mine for 4 computers, 2 droids and netflix and I use Crashplan to backup my computers to the web.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeriku:
250gb is not that much, especially if your are a Netflix / Hulu only person. Just one computer using Netflix as a TV replacement can easily put you over, not to mention Pandora and other usage. Cable companies are only doing this to curb streamers. There's a pretty good discussion on the Comcast forums about this. 250gb was fine 4 years ago, but today....not so much.

From what I've heard fios has no cap.
[HTC Inspire 4G] graewulf1:
Yet... Give them time and they too will have data caps. Of course, as bandwidth grows, the caps get larger also. It's not about the amount of data used, it's about network congestion. If the network can't handle it, then they need to curb the heavy users to keep bandwidth for the rest of us.

did you flash any other kernels? (if you flashed morfic's its know to break boot animations)

So the Kernel is installed? Try to boot in recovery mod, maybe you have it now (I can't see the page where you downloaded the kernel). While you're smartphone is booting, press "Volume Down" again and again until you see the menu appear. Then you could do a wipe cache, maybe it will help :confused:

you have to unlock your bootloader first to be able to flash anything other than the stock rom on your phone. it is free and you can do it through sony. but you might be able to flash the ics stock its just tricky due to flashtool needing an update

OK, I created my own ftf file (a few files, one of them worked), and flashed it with FlashTool, it seems that now I have pure stock 2.3.4 firmware although two of four branded applications from Orange has gone. I don't know why two are still in my phone if now I've got World generic (I've checked it in service menu), wired, hmm.

[General Questions and Answers] thedynamix:
Hi guys,

Ever since forcing the ICS update just before Christmas last year (to ICS 4.0.2 I think) I have noticed SEVERE battery drainage and absolute ass--kicking of mobile data when using the Email app (synced to my work Microsoft Exchange).

Since then, I've only been able to sync Exchange email when on WiFi and close to a charger!

I was hoping ICS 4.0.4 would fix this, but it is still as severe as ever and it's really ANNOYING! I cannot pick up work emails on the go because my data (750MB) and battery will both be almost completely depleted after about 6 hours.. Seriously.. No exaggeration at all.

Someone else must surely have experienced this also?

Any ideas for a fix???

Loving Android ICS other than that, but if this persists, I'll be swapping over to Apple or Windows.... These are BASIC things!!

Thanks,

Nick

Hello everyone..

Im using Clean V5 found here: Great rom and pretty fast!

But im having issues with the phone constantly rebooting after flashing V6.

I downloaded the zip, copied it to the sdcard, rebooted phone into recoverymode, made a backup. Choosed custom zip had it flashed and after i made a full wipe and rebooted.

It gets stuck at the blinking marker, and after awhile it reboots and loops.

Note, i can go back into recoverymode and reset.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Elwino2.3:
Are you use firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6?, if yes you must flash 2.1.1.C.0.0 firmware
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcntad:
Well since Im using V5 I should have the compatible firmware.

I cant check it either in my phones settings meny since it says Clean0.0.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Elwino2.3:
Maybe you should re-flash again 2.1.1.C.0.0 original firmware. With this way you never got the problem
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tcntad:
I perhaps could. I have a backup of the original firmware on my computer. That should work eh?

Or where can i find a standard/generic nordic firmware?

I just flashed V6 and I do have compatible firmware "C.0.0" and holy cow it works!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
Maybe the term 'firmware' is confusing. Because V6 -ROM- contains a dualtouch module that only works with the 2.1.1.C.0.0 -KERNEL- , it can cause problems.

There's a link in the first post of the rom thread (read carefully) to the right kernel (.ftf file) which you can flash using flashtool.

Sorry I didn't see this before, since V6 I'm just using the phone ;-)

i recently bricked my GT-S5570 galaxy mini via rom manager is it possible to unbrick it using a USB jig :confused: or any other method ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Gyku:
How I did

I bricked my phone with a ROM and unbricked it with sammobile.com :P I have a samsung galaxy mini with gingerbread 2.3.4.

So here is how I did it.

1) I went to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3. (very useful site)

2) I chose smartphone -> android -> gt-s5570 -> europe (I chose the region I live in).

3) Now u should see a list with firmwares. In my case I downloaded the one for Romania as i live in Romania.

Note: You need to have an account on SamMobile to download the files.

4) After u downloaded the firmware go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=5 to download the flashprogram (I don't know the purpose and etc., I just followed the instructions on the site.)

5) Here u will have to chose again some things. smartphone -> android -> gt-s5570. download.

6) Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=6 and chose smartphone -> android -> gt-s5570 and download.

7) After u downloaded everything open the flashguide and follow the steps.

8) It should work.

REMEMBER, WHEN CHOOSING THE FIRMWARE, CHOOSE THE REGION AND THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN.

​

Hope it works. If not, pm me ur messenger, msn or whatever IM account u use and I will try to help you.

Maybe I get a thank if this works :D.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] LolaGeek:
Hi everyone, I am a pretty technically savvy person, but a newbie to the world of smartphones. I just got a MT4GS this week and have been getting used to it for the past few days. My main concern is the battery life - understandably, compared to my old feature phone, the smartphone is going to use a lot more juice. I just wasn't expecting to charge it overnight, have it plugged most of the day at work, and still be down to ~70% power by the time I get home. I'm not even doing anything that intense with it. It worries me to think that my phone might die on me if I'm out somewhere for the day. And what is the point of having a phone that can run programs and do all these great things, if you're afraid to use it?

After reading around here, I've already picked up a lot of great tips: I ordered a set of the Anker batteries (my phone was purchased used, and while it is physically in great condition, who knows about the battery), and I installed the 2x Battery app. I've reduced my screen brightness; turned off background data; turned off GPS; and when I'm on WiFi, I have 4G off, and vice versa.

A couple of questions:

1) Without doing anything crazy to the phone or default OS, is there anything else you recommend doing to conserve battery life?

2) In 2x Battery, there is a setting "Pause when WiFi on." The description here is kind of confusing, and I can't tell if it's working or not. If I want the mobile data connection off when connected to WiFi, do I want this option checked or unchecked? Right now I'm connected to WiFi, but it appears that mobile data is on whether this box is checked or not.

Thank you so much for all the great info so far, and for any advice you can offer me :o)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
Blue pretty much covered everything that I was going to say. I also have the Anker battery, and I also have the Anker 5600 mah external battery, and I no longer have battery worries. I choose the Anker external battery over the other ones because of its small portable size, even though some of the other ones have more capacity. I find that I can get about two full charges of my phone with it, and it is small enough to fit in my pocket or purse with no problem. I highly recommend an external battery just for piece of mind, knowing that I no longer have to be searching every place I go for an outlet. I love that I can charge my phone while it is in my pocket or purse. Also the price isn't too bad, I bought mine for about $40, but I see Amazon now has it for $33. I bought it from a company called Laptop Mate on Amazon, and it was shipped amazingly fast even though I just got standard shipping. Laptop Mate then said if I wrote a review I could choose a free gift. The gifts were not anything spectacular, but the gesture was nice. At the time I could choose between a usb powered reading light, a card reader, and I forget what the other one was. Again nothing great, but it was just a nice bonus, I will definitely buy from that company again. So with my Anker internal battery, and my external battery, I could reasonably not have to plug my phone into the wall for at least two days, I could stretch it more if I was camping or something. I really like keeping my screen at full brightness, so that is where most of my drain comes from. Well, sorry for the long winded response, and welcome to XDA. I bet that in a month you will wonder what you ever did with out a smart phone.
