If you're concerned about breaking, losing, or having your device stolen, looks like your only option is to stick to TEP. Next time, stop by Best buy...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
This is an ass raping in a half. I actually just got the G2 and loving it so far. Looks like I will be sticking with it for quite sometime cause I just dont think I can handle this ass blast from sprint/assurion.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icarr4077:
The squaretrade option is an interesting one. Seems like fairly limited coverage and still with the 100 dollar deductable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Czarnickoli:
I switched to best buy when I got my gsII.. I haven't had to use it but they just seemed way more pleasant to deal with than my local sprint store, and obviously like everyone else said the sprint plan is better if you're prone to losing/getting your phone stolen. Personally as long as best buy isn't going out of business and time soon I will buy my phone from and use best buy insurance. Just a personal preference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesissocool:
Save your money. Equipment protection is a rip off. The phones have a one year warranty. Keep an old phone that you can port to for a couple of weeks while you send it out to the mfg if you can't afford the $35 for repair service. But if you pay 15/mo for 2 years + $100.00 deductible, you end up paying $460.00. Sounds like a huge waste of money to me when you can buy a new phone outright that is an older model for like $200.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
Best buy protection used to be even better. I used it to pull off 2 upgrades with no cost to me. They have since changed it.

Before i took my evo in with a spider web for a screen. They sent it off, and a month later they said they were just going to give me a new phone. I got a gift card for $649 and they let me change phones.

Now, they only do rapid exchange with a referb. I had bby btp on everyone until this phone, because i got it in Amazon on black Friday for $.01.

And best buy does NOT cover lost or stolen, only sprint does.

Q3: differ between hw decode & soft decode ,which better at quality and less power

what is the difference between hw decode and soft decode and which better at quality and less power ?:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brockyneo:
As far as I know hardware decode uses the roms codec and software uses the programs codec eg Mx player I use mx player and fine that hardware is better quality but software played more videos better ie full HD

Not sure which one uses more power I'd asume software would but that's a guess:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sehooo:
i think so also
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokubai:
Dedicated hardware decode will use less power than software decode.

The software decoder will have to use several different parts of the processor to get the job done while the hardware decoder has a dedicated processing pipeline to handle that specific type of job, it stands to reason then that the hardware will be able to do that job more efficiently (and potentially more precisely) than a software decoder.

The software decoder has more versatility and is easier to change though.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Ok, so this is an issue I can't seem to find anyone else complaining about.

My physical camera button won't activate the camera flash.

Now I understand that If the camera is set to Continuous Shooting mode that it probably shouldn't flash - but I've turned that off and I cannot get it to flash unless I use the on screen button, which is difficult for me.

Anyone else having the issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fldash:
My camera rarely flashes when using the camera button, the time it did, it was in Portrait setting instead of 'auto'. I don't want to hijack your thread, but this is a good place to ask... Why can you hold down the camera button to take a stream of photos in modes other than Auto (I understand not allowing it in HDR), but the other modes don't seem to make sense...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
I was thinking about that last night when I was trying to get my flash to work and playing with settings. It seems like you should be able to take a burst of landscape photos.....or anything else except HDR, and possible some of the lower light combinations.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shepherdofthedamned:
My physical shutter button activates my flash just fine. For continuous, it flashes on the first shot, but that's it. It will take continuous with the physical button also

it would zoom

I don't know if its call justified text but i know what i'm on about

is it some sort of setting?

Hi Everybody.

I wonder if anyone has the same problem: the thing is that after the Gingerbread update made to my Optimus black, whenever I make a call or receive a call, the first 2-3 seconds my mic is mute. I mean, the other person doesn't hear me for 2-3 seconds and almost all the time I get "some critics" because I don't salute, especially from my wife :)

So, does anybody else experience something similar? Is there a fix for this?

I checked the Wi-Fi sleeping policy & it is on always on. This is the second device with the same problem. I called Sprint they don’t know anything.

- update to ice cream sandwich (error message after data download)

- i cannot connect via kies air (browser error after connection)

attempting to re-root i have found a CNET how to root guide but with no luck

i have matched the closest insecure as well as secure kernel (I9100XWKDG) & attempted to flash them using Odin 3 but no luck

can anyone advise how to get the unusable phone features working again?

So you are unable to flash the stock rom using ODIN?

Any how, not sure what it is going on, maybe you are not flashing the correct file.

I believe it is better not to use ODIN to root your phone, the new method to root is the safest and the easiest and you dont have to worry about your baseband version.

Here is the link on how to root GS2, the files needed can be downloaded from the link below the video.

This forum is flooded with too much ICS issues. I've a problem apart from that. Recently I found in battery status that mediaserver is taking too much battery.

On an average my battery goes about 12 hrs with heavy use. recently I copied some 3gp and flv files in my 2gb card sizing about 500mb in total. after that my battery is lasting for only 7-8 hrs without any use! when I check battery status it shows 50-60% battery has been taken by mediaserver. to confirm my doubt I then deleted all the videos and recharged again. now media server only takes 2-5%!

strange,na?

i can't keep movies in my mobile anymore :(

Oh! It's creating a loop in the media server when accessing the movies as you have mentioned. When the media server tries to read a file and if it fails, it reads it again and again. This is device specific bug bcoz this doesn't happen in aosp android. Update to ICS and see if anything improves or not.
