[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LORD_VOLDEMORTT:
I guess its time to bite the bullet and send it to TMobile/Samsung for the warranty exchange?. My flash counter is 2 and I couldnt do a reset or brick the phone fully.

Any one know an instance where the warranty exchange is denied because of rooting/flashing?. When i called tmobile for an warranty exchange, they just asked about the physical condition of the phone. Also any idea how long do i need to wait and see if they accepted my phone as warranty exchange?.

Thanks a lot for all the replies and time. I will tonight will click the thanks for all the replies i got in helping me out.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
so OP, you cannot get into recovery at all? You could flash my reset counter.

I made you an odin tar, check you pm and let me know if it works.

Try this! Have Odin ready with the stock file in PDA. Pull the battery on your phone. Plug in the USB cable. Hold both volume buttons. While holding the buttons still, but the battery back in. Wait for it to be recognized in Odin. Then flash. Hope this will fix it. If it does then flash Mr. X's reset counter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
Don't worry about the counter. If you get your phone running, you can just reset it with a flash able zip. And to brick it, I would assume just download an Odin file and put it in the wrong slot (Like instead of PDA or PIT, put it in bootloader) and you should have an unsavable brick (Except by J-Tag.) If you're trying to return it, you don't need to worry if it's rooted. People have returned plenty of phones with custom ROMs on them, including me.

Touch Wiz vs Sense

- Anandtech Bench -

What surprises me in these benchmarks is how close the GS2 performs to the One X. Disappointing on One X' part if you ask me.

June can't come soon enough!
[Galaxy S III General] Bigmille:
The One X has been in available around the world for a month now, and none of those are mass reported problems. Since the SIII is not released yet or even reviewed, I can't see how you think SIII will be problem free.

I like the screen on the One X over my Note (same amoled as SIII), the colour are more accurate and its much brighter in direct sunlight. As for CPU/GPU, both are more than powerful enough to make no difference for day to day use.

Overall, apart from removable battery and micro sd card, SIII and One X are too very close to call. I think both phone will do well over the next few months. The SIII is more suited to the power users, but One X have the WOW factor the SIII lacks, which will do will with general public who don't really care about removable battery or expendable storage.
[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
No Build Quality Issues

No Chipping - Same Material used in Previous Galaxy

No Flex Issues - Same Material used in Previous Galaxy

No Things rattling inside phone - Never Happened and I trust Sammy R&D

No Screen Flickering - Super Amoled HD = GS2 had no issues

No Stuttering Videos - Proven Exynos CPU and Video Player Both made in-house by Samsung for superior cooperation.

There, happy? And yes I'd like both do to well and push Android further but this is a nerd tech phone forum, why not have some fun ^_^
[Galaxy S III General] Basil3:
Threads like this remind me a little bit about Top Gear, where they say a car can't be cool if you have to explain WHY it's cool.

With the one x, you can just show it to someone, and they will be "wow, that's cool". With the SGS3, they will think it looks ugly/bland but may be won over after you spend 5 mins telling/showing them why it's cool.

And yes, phones are all about being cool :D

*Closes eyes and shakes head* -Noooo! Now you're ruining my world! I CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
[Galaxy S III General] tkolev:
The real question is can *you* handle the truth? The truth that CPU benchmarks are a pile of useless s.it that have nothing to do with real life usage experience? The truth that tegra optimized apps will always run better on the one x and there are no whatever-samsung-called-their-cpu optimized apps and won't be for quite some time? The truth that HOX has more beautiful screen than the pentile SAMOLED? The truth that difference in performance *might* be felt after a year and a half when both these phones will be old news? The truth that that's a year and a half you'll have to live with the downright ugliness of the sg3? The truth that that's a year and a half you'll have to live with the cheapness of the shiny plastic? The truth that that's a year and a half you'll have to live with the inferior screen? The truth that after that year and a half finally passes the only apps that will show any difference will run bad on the sg3 and worse on the HOX because both will be outdated?

Can you?

If I get a SIII I hope I don't have to see useless threads like this in this forum for the next year.
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
Thread will be closed i am sure in a while..These threads are not necessary. No need to make yourself feel good bro just because you are getting a new toy. Enjoy your new toy and no need to bash others just because they made another choice..Both phones are great and both have their own good points. Even though most are just gimmicks from the iphone (yes S-Voice just a copy from Siri) and really even though i love the features of the phone it still does not cry out innovating from some parts of it..anyways if i did not had my one x i would be going for the s3 cause i still believe it is a good phone but the issues you are stating about the one x not everyone has it..so best go and do your research again. Plus each time i press the water lockscreen it will probably make me wanna go and have a leak..:D and on that note

[Galaxy S III General] funb0b:
First & foremost I'm an Android Fan & not brand specific and will go with who ever I believe will give me the best end user experience.

I like the One X, I also think it has a very nice display, I like sense as a UI & the unit feels nice in the hand, play with my sisters one most days even to the point where I even ordered one, which I then cancelled due to the impending SIII launch.

Now the SIII is here I have ordered one, mainly due to the larger replaceable battery, full size sim (I have other network contracts) and Micro SD Support. These three things alone kill the HOX stone dead for me and I would guess quite a number of others who have multiple handsets.

I think seriously looks a very subjective thing, but when fashion fades only style remains. In the most part these things normally end up in some sort of protective casing which renders the looks aspect moot in most cases.

In 18months time, when the you have stopped looking at it aesthetically and just use it as a day to day communication,entertainment and productivity tool, what is really going to matter?

To me it will be.

Ease of use, battery life, reliability, compatibility & decent brightness in daylight.

I'm I really going to care about the differences in terms of Screen Technology's on a day to day basis, I doubt it, its a phone at the end of the day as long as the display is good that's all the really matters personally. Not for the least part there will be something better by then the anyway.

They are both really good High end devices which will hopefully push Android even further in front of a certain fruit company.

Just my 2p
[Galaxy S III General] jswclw:
I noticed Wolfson on the your spec list. This is great! Sound quality is a major factor for me, and keeps me on my Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate). With the return of Wolfson, I may be able to upgrade this summer when it comes to AT&T.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Here is my opinion. I think they both will be winner. I'm not saying that to make everybody else happy, its cause its the truth. Here are facts:

The one x is the best looking device without a shadow of a doubt. It looks sexy, the screen is amazing, it is really a great looking device. But unfortunately it has horrible battery life, screen issues, lag and stutter and sense while it looks beautiful is still a heavy skin. ( about the issues if you don't believe me go check the one x forum). Still it has great potential and WILL get lots of dev support so in a couple of months its gonna be a beast!

Now the Galaxy S3, honestly I like the design a lot. It isn't as beautiful as the one x but still , people are saying that it looks awesome in person. Then you got so many pros, exynos 4 quad on board , expandable storage, removable battery all in a device that is thinner than the one x. Anadtech and many others have reported the phone to be buttery smooth as expected. On top of that the phone should be easy to root ( no S-off bull crap required) all the new features Samsung introduced look great. Dev support is gonna be HUGE just like the one x will but with a boot loader easy to unlock. My personal choice is the S3 cause after I was blown away by the S2 , Samsung has won me over as a loyal customer. They both will b great especially when development takes off but I will give the edge to the s3 cause it is a performer!!!

[HTC One X] ramheer:
The hard shell that attachs to the back of the phone is very thin, much thinner than a case mate barely there case! Its plastic and kind of transparent with a bit of frosting! The flip part of the case is white leather or something very similar and the inside of the flip is slightly padded and is a light grey fine microfiber material which sits nicely on the screen when closed protecting it! The hard case part has a cut out for the speaker at the back and one for the volume rocker, the flip part has a cut out for the charger so you can charge the phone with the flip open or closed! I have dropped my phone 3 times and the case protected it perfectly no marks on the case or the phone! The hard back adds a mm in thickness and the flip adds maybe 3mm so overall still a slim profile! I will upload photos when I get home from work with the hox in the case!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vhick:
I have a problem with a message tone while listening music. In untouched stock ROM, when you listening through any media player, i can here the message tone in my headphone. I start using modified stock ROM, I experience while listening to music, when I receive a message, I hear the music in the speaker for a couple of second and then back the music sound in my headphone. So I need to switch to vibrate mode so that even if I receive a message, it will not switch to my speaker while playing music. I try any custom ROM here and same result. Its very annoying because I'm always commuting.

Anyone experience the same problem? How do I fix this? Please help.

Thank you very much...

Hello.. yes, they are.. in previous versions of roms, you can hear notifications from your headphone.

But lately every new ROM makes notification to be played at phone speaker.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
I purchased the G2X about 4 months ago and it's been nothing but a nightmare. I've been with t-mobile for 5 + years now and I've never had a bad experience up until now.

The initial handset worked fine but then the wi-fi stopped working. I tried EVERYTHING. I sent it back, paid the $20 fee and got a new one a week later. That phone started messing up as well. It started with random reboots (even after factory resets to stock) along with it freezing overnight (on stock rom as well). Now, the funny thing is right before I go to send it back I spill a TINY amount of water on the back of the phone. Out of habit I immediately pull the battery out... What happens next? The small droplets of water on the battery slide down RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WATER SICKER! /facepalm. I got to eat a hefty fee for that.

ANYWAYS, back on track, I get a new one (my third and current phone) and it does the SAME thing again. Freezing overnight, overheating, wifi is sketchy. I OC'd it to 1.2 GHZ and it runs fine and then stops working. Regardless if I fried it the damn thing wasn't working to begin with.

T-mo is offering to send me yet another handset (and another $20 warranty fee im assuming) but I don't want another one of these ****ty phones from them! Not if they keep failing on me. I've expressed this each time and each rep won't listen to me (or maybe they can't understand my English since they're all from India). Is there anything I can do? Or do I just keep going through this process. I hate this phone. Hate.

Has anyone else been having problems with tmobile? I remember loving their service back in the day... Sigh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
So you've obviously had/have root are using custom roms/kernels mixing and matching things around? Some of these are lemons that's without a doubt. I have no issues but you might just want to ask to be transferred to a manager or supervisor, get the fee waived or try and get a different phone replaced.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Keep pressing them. I raised holy hell with them and they replaced mine several times. I literally went through about eight or nine. (But I never waited longer than two weeks though.) I lost count. Out of those, I got two good ones. Problem free they were. Both of which I dropped.....now I have another crappy one. sigh.

But there really are good ones. People here are more than happy to tell you all about theirs LOL. Maybe you'll get lucky.

If you don't want another, maybe you can try for a replacement and you'll luck out with a NEW unopened one. This could be sold unopened and the proceeds used to get a Sensation or Galaxy Nexus.

But there really are some good ones out there. My estimate is 25% are good. Maybe a higher percentage of the newer ones? But the problems you describe are classic.....been there done that.

consumerist.com is a good source for executive email addresses............the squeeky wheel gets greased.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
Thank you so much for that link. I'll go ahead and start e-mailing trying to get this resolved. I'm so sick and tired of sending phones back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
When the water got on the Water Sticker and you had to eat it and buy a phone, why did you by a G2x instead of something else at that time?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
Because it was still under warranty and -ANY- damage that voids that will only cause them to charge you the $75 fee (+ tax). That was cheaper than buying my own parts to fix the screen or purchasing a new phone. They sent me a refurb one that is currently stuck in a bootloop =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timothy7732:
I have been through this before if you don't want the phone tell them to switch you into something that is the same in performance. They have to do it. After you have returned a phone more then 2times and don't let them tell you that you can't because its all bull go up the food chain if you have to

I know this is a big request and no one has to do it of course but I think that one of our devs could really help out the community by developing a guide on how to build custom ics roms off one of our bases for us future developers who want to get into it. Just food for thought. Any thoughts on this?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Good thought with good intentions but I disagree. Current developers are in the first place not paid members of the community. They do enough bringing us great ROMs and to ask for more, I think would be pathetic. The current developers have moderate to extensive knowledge with java, C++, CSS, HTML, android SDK and many other platforms which all have a degree of difficulty and its not something to be learned in a couple of weeks. Which in turn is more than the average Joe is willing to go through. The resources are out there on the web its simply aatter of summoning initiative, like I said, we are already being spoon fed with great software and to ask for more would be silly. Furthermore, it seems like you misunderstand the "developer" title. To be a developer you havrbto bring original ideas to the table and not just kang others work and call your own, which is one thing a lot of people tend to do. Anyone can become a developer but it takes time and dedication, if you're up for it good but many other people are not.

What M&S said and given that most devs dont write drivers or do kernel level deving so I dont think C++ is a requirement. Most of the things done out there are CSS, XML and SDK work from most of the product that is put out. Then java and lastly C++ thats what I would guess is the most common to least common knowledge based on output.

I dont think even knowing how to work a terminal is a requirement because so many of the tools are on windows in gui form
