[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sly-tendencies:
Skyrocket has LTE, larger screen and higher resolution.

Regular GS2 has slightly better graphics for games. So if you're the type of person who likes top notch graphics, go for the GS2. But if you're willing to sacrifice an insignificant fraction of that for blazing fast internet, go for the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wickidmasshole:
the one X? my understanding Is there is no memory expansion and no removable back...... No thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Not everyone needs a trillion gigs and why do you need a removable battery?

So you can put in a spare? Not everyone uses their phone all day to kill it.

So you can get an extended battery? Same as above plus you'd making a sexy phone super ugly.

So you can pull the battery when you royally **** up? The button combo is there for that same reason. Even on the skyrocket, captivate, sgs2 and aatrix, I've never had to pull the battery.

The one x is a perfectly legitimate consideration.

However in the context of the post, between the skyrocket and the sgs2 when you looking at dev support closely, go with the sgs2.

If you are looking at specs then go for the skyrocket.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wickidmasshole:
A huge part of my decision to jump ship from the iphone to android, besides being bored with the simplicity of the OS and phone itself, was the simple, awesome, what should be on every phone, in my option of removing the back and adding more memory if you want. I dont use extended batteries but i do carry around extra batteries bc i go through juice like its no ones business. So lets see... Carry around a charger 24/7 or simply swap out a battery and go from 0% to 100% in a matter of seconds. Now not having the option to extend the memory is a straight deal breaker as well. I do allot of modification and i also back up all my apps and text every night. Having an extra 32gb of memory seperate from on board storage thay is safe from wipes when you flash certain odin files is very convenient.

So to the person who doesnt do anything with there phone, who i would ve surprised to see on this forum i suppose not having a micro SD card would not be an issue. But i suspect the majority of people here need that SD slot to fulfill there hacking needs.

So in closing, no removable door and no expandable memory make the One X a non option in my eyes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
I had the i777 for a few weeks before I traded in for a i727. I can't live without LTE. Also, the bigger screen is better. Those two things overcome the shortcomings of the Snapdragon processor. ICS is better tuned for the Snapdragon to where the only time it matters in my opinion is 3D games. There definitely are some apps that still don't full support skyrocket, but that is a situation that can only keep on improving. I used to think 3D gaming mattered, but 3D gaming on the Skyrocket is done only once in a while. Sometimes I don't play anything that requires the best 3D hardware for months at a time. So it really is a small issue for me.

Skyrocket all the way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] k4ce:
For dev support, I would go with the good old s2. It is very similar to the global version so you will get the cm9s and the MIUIs. Yes the skyrocket has a bigger screen but the s2 looks sharper. And yes, LTE when available is faster than H+, but honestly I don't see where it matters. I would get the regular s2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodfilledwatr:
When trying to play a call via bluetooth, regardless of the bluetooth device, it doesn't work. The bluetooth device shows the call in coming in and who is it, but when you answer it, you can't hear anyone and they can't hear you. However, I'm able to stream music and such through bluetooth just fine. It's just voice calls that don't provide audio. Anyone else have this issue? I haven't been able to find anything on this in the forum. I've tried wipping the efs partition for the radio to see if that helped and it didn't. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 RC1 with baseband version 12.62.60.27U_26.13.19_m. This used to work before so I don't have know changed so it doesn't. I also tried doing a fresh install of Cyanogen 7.1 and no change.

All,

We have a Motorola MC9090 Device Running Windows Mobile 5.0 and we are trying to use the built in web browser to access a web based application and we would like to use hotkeys to perform various functions within the web application. Its my understanding that hotkeys can be registered within user built applications but we are wondering if its possible to call it within the page code itself and have the functionality work within the browser (Pocket IE) like it does in a standard desktop browser (e.g. IE8) Your help and input is greatly appreciated.

I've managed to mess up my Infuse because I'm an idiot and I forgot to back up the efs folder.

Now that I have this phone, I've successfully rooted it but I searched everywhere for the efs folder and I can't find it.

Is the efs folder unique to samsung? I've tried searching for an answer but I couldn't find any.

Thanks!

[Acer Iconia A500] ill_dawg:
Modern Combat won't work with a controller. You need to map the keys to screen locations in sixaxis. This is true for all gameloft games AFAIK.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sheetzie03:
I'm having this problem. I mean I figured out how to get to a point where I can map button. But when trying to map the left and right analog sticks to move around/ run and to move the gun around. I've tried for hours and can't get it right. Been searching everywhere including an article on phone buff but I still can't get it. So dam frustrated...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
Which game are you trying to map for? I find that sometimes you have to work with the size of the analog stick on the map and it has to be centered at the exact location if the game uses a set location for the analogs. To set up my buttons I use a screen capture of the game and that helps... sometimes trying to get a screen capture puts the game in a "pause" state... at that point I use a grease pen or whiteboard marker to mark the button locations on the screen then open six axis and map them... hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sheetzie03:
Hey thank you reply. Im using the USb/bt Joystick app and Modern Combat 3.

I'm having one major problem with the right analog/moving then gun around. No matter what I do all I can get is up-moves right right-moves down down- moves left and left-moves up. Understand what I'm saying?

Its so weird. I cant understand it. Sucks so bad.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] texten:
maybe you will need to replace the "firmware"folder in that zip with firmware folder of gingerbread for you device

also the same procedure for the "media_profile.xml" in etc...

this could work:

just take that zip in my post, replace firmware folder and the media_profile.xml with the ones of your latest gingerbread...

and follow the installation instructions in my post
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mike_kenji:
where can i find those files? is the camera working for you?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] texten:
look here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26511647&postcount=428

you can see whats working and whats not working...

you can use the camera_experimental-0.1.zip

but you need to replace the firmware folder and the media_profile.xml in that zip with the ones of the latest gingerbread for your device

and do not forget to follow the installation instructions

for your further development on camera, you can also use these "instructions for camera testers" :)

(maybe you will add these to post#1 of this topic here)

--------------------------

here are instructions for camera testers:

Few important things:

1. make notes, because we will need it to restore steps.

2. make a logcat:

adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

if you want, edit logs like that (less logs - easier to read, logs only related with camera):

Linux shell:

cat ./logcat.txt | grep camera > logcat.new.txt

Windows cmd:

type logcat.txt | findstr camera > nwelogcat.txt

3. If you will find in log that HAL cannot connect with camera do not post logs, because they are useless

4. Do not zip or rar logs = easier to read on phone

----------------------------------

Additional Links:

You can try files from these phones.

Phones with MSM8255:

- CDMA XPeria Play

- LG Revolution

- HTC Desire S

- Sony xperia mini,mini pro, neo etc - camera works

- My touch 4g - camera works

- Xperia play - camera works

- Htc desire s - camera works

- Huawei honor - official ICS

- Htc one V - no front camera but official ICS

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639634

Thanks to: Spider550 for links, he cannot post here yet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

if you make a logcat, do not forget to post which files you used.

folders for all files:

do not forget to set permissions for changed files/folders like all other files/folders there... and reboot after all changes you made!

*.so files to /system/lib

media_profile.xml to /system/etc

camera.apk to /system/app

firmware files to /system/firmware (maybe you have to create a folder)

---------

now you can start with testing.

for logcat = shutdown device - boot - start camtests - after that make a logcat directly.
