Don't believe you.

Now you're just being an ass. You gauge is gut feel? It seems better....

Good luck with your new iPhone.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Oh great, more Apple vs Android pointless flamebait. That's not old.

OP, off you go, enjoy your choice.

Everyone else, please let this pointless, meritless thread die in peace.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Not sure where you have been but it's well known that the Yamaha DAC on our S2 is less than stellar, while the DAC on iPhones have always been Wolfsons. That, and how the frequency response curve of iPhones have always been flat (a great plus for audiophiles who do not like coloured sound). Just because two devices have a 3.5mm jack does not mean the circuitry before the jack is different. I will happily concede this point to OP, as sound is the one thing Samsung really screwed up with the S2. It's the reason why I bought a Sansa Clip Zip.

As for the rest... Well, I used both an iPhone 4S and Galaxy S2 for about two weeks. Both of them belonged to me, so I wasn't sponsored or anything. I ended up keeping the S2. The walled garden of the iPhone does not appeal as much to me.
[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
But not just he Apple Store, but Cydia or Installous etc allowed all the free apps and apps that weren't allowed in Apples store, and just overall the apps worked better. I didn't know what "FC" was until I got an S2 lol.

There were lots of Social apps in iOS to connect with local people and they are not on Android. A LOT of games etc.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Yes.

Quite correct and I would have assumed as such however, you think the average user gives a flying rats what DAC is used? Honestly an UNtrained ear would be hard pressed to find the differences you pointed out. I dunno but 20+ million people mustve thought something of the S2 or were we all "tricked" into it?
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
I agree the average user cannot tell the difference. Why do you think so many people bought Beats headphones? ;)

For me the difference was day and night. I inserted my IEMs into the S2, took a listen and thought "God this is awful". But then again I'm a Head-Fier.

PS. If you don't know what is Head-Fi already for the sake of your wallet do not Google it!
[Galaxy S II General] jeremija8:
Now i'm positively sure that there are some people who don't know how to use sgs2 :p ...please sell and take your precious i**** :p "iphone is more customizable than an android phone" buahahahha, thx for this, still laughing :D
[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
The S2 is a great phone, I'm not trying to say it isn't. But some of my reasons like Smoothness, Screen Quality, Audio Quality, App Store is factual. And if you've never had a jailbreak iPhone and cydia, you can't tell me you can't customize iOS. THAT is ridiculous.
[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
I'm not sure where you'd rank my Klipsch Image S4i earbuds but I noticed a significant quality drop when I switched to S2.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Mate, Im an avid "tech head" ask my wife, she's sick of looking the piles of computer magazines that are stacking up in the spare room. Ive owned many phones (Palm, Symbian) I've jail broken iPhones and I've used Android. Like I said, I will never look back.

You were quite obviously looking in all the wrong places and quite possibly something might have been physically wrong with your phone.

Good luck with your future endeavours.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] Kaze105:
Yeah no social apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/category/SOCIAL?feature=category-nav

Got 2 sisters with the iphone 4s, so I had plenty of time to play with them. Seems rather obvious you have not really played around. More like tried it for a couple days and saying it sucks like my sisters said.

If you only tried themes that changed colors, then you didnt try real themes. There are plenty that completely changes the phone. Where do you think your widget came from, windows?

Smoothness is no different compared to iphone 4s and SGS2. With the custom kernels, battery lasts a lot longer than my sisters iphone 4s.

The only thing I agree with what you wrote is keyboard. My sgs2 isnt bad, but I found the iphone slightly more accurate when I type.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
Good for you.Now please just leave and don't come back.

There's no place for you here.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] amitmiz:
One simple answer for you, INSTALL MIUI ROM!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Zikor:
no an average user can see the difference. there's quite a huge sound distortion on S2 compared to to iPhone due to the sound chip that is being used on both devices. Voodoo louder makes it worse as it doesn't make the sound quality better but makes the sound louder and distorted that doesn't happen on an iPhone that is I have my S1 as a music player.

though besides that everything is true, iOS is very limited, even if you jailbreak it.
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
funny you are going back

most of my friends with iphone got a android after they saw my galaxy s2 and they love it
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
Pretty is up all you want and the fact is..... it's a Phone. You've just been brainwashed to believe that you need to have your music, video, docs and all that other crap in it as well.

EDIT: Also I think you are very wrong, the AVERAGE user wouldn't be able to tell any SIGNIFICANT differences.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Well, we can't please all people. :)
[Galaxy S II General] hawken84:
You've expressed multiple times that you disagree and you prefer Android/S2.That is great, have a good night :)

Whether I am brainwashed or not, I want a little device that has music, email, Internet Browsing, GPS Mapping, a high quality selection of apps AND the ability to make calls and text message.... And do it all quickly and smoothly.
[Galaxy S II General] Kaze105:
So you want a smartphone. Enjoy your iphone either way. Make sure not to make useless threads in the iphone forum.
[Galaxy S II General] AshleyTayles:
Has anyone ever noticed if you buy a rubber case for the S2 it covers the whole back of the phone, yet if you buy one for your iPhone it has a little circle cut out so you can see the Apple logo?

It couldn't possibly be because when you buy an iPhone you're not really after a great smartphone, but instead the ability to tell people you own an iPhone, and to be apart of Apple cult.

Whereas when I purchase a Samsung phone, or a HTC, or even an LG, I want a device thats mine. I want a device that works truly like a small handheld computer which I can use to not only socialise with my friends, but also do important work on when on the road.

A few months ago I overheard a conversation in which two "hipsters" were talking about what phone they should get. One of them mentioned the HTC Sensation XL, but they both disagreed on it because they didn't have instagram. Sums up all the iPhone users I have ever met.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbiza:
If you had cydia and installus installed then you have for sure noticed some apps not working and just disapiring from screen. That is FC just ios do not tell you that it closes app and that is that. Android tells you app is not responding or have error... so user think android have more FC but ios have it too, just not tellig you...

Cheers, sorry for my bad english :)
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
Switching back to iPhone it's not about finding bull**** excuses to do so, it's about user experience, if you prefer a well round phone that doesn't need tweaking to perform good, but with limited to none capabilities to expand then go back to the iphone, if you want to play around with your phone and be able to make it yours stay with your SGS2, no one blames you for your choice, just don't come here and write bull**** to feel better after the switch.

Also, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMiY1kSTHZw
[Galaxy S II General] shredder74:
hawken84, I think your commercials are at wrong place here.
[Galaxy S II General] Security555:
iOS is more customizable LOL

Your last massage is the point, you are not advanced user, you need phone just for few things, this is the reason why i bought the iPhone 4s (310€ new one :D)3 month ego and presented my grandma.

And dont forget HTC wiget you had on your ios is from android.

You are right, ios is the best choice for some people

Why did u start this thread mate. You must have known you get bashed. Its like me walking into a pub in manchester, wearing my liverpool fc top singing 'fields of anfield road' and ' we only hate mancs' then acting all ' where did that come from as im carried out on a stretcher by paramedics. Soft lad
[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
iPhone 4S and SGS2 both are good phones, if you like one good for you, thinking one is better because one function works better is beyond me...... some people like wm7 some ios some android.

as someone alredy said, i agree iphone is more of a class, its like hey i got iphone its so cool what you have.....

than there is placebo effect, its like people say 4S is best camera and S3 comes pretty close, but fact is they have exact same module lol.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Android has more user customization. You don't need to root/jailbreak to change themes on android. Simply download a launcher. Android os is much smoother if you tweak it. Unlike iOS. I had an iPod Touch 4G, after jailbreaking, added some stuff including Installous, the iOS got really slow. And android let's us build custom Roms as you said. I don't see a custom iOS? Android may not be user-friendly but its because its designed for young-adults and younger ages. Its not designed for kids and old man. So peace, I prefer android over iOS. Plus why did you post this? Obviously a troll trying to upset an android world

I have MIUI , but i wanna change it... The thing with MIUI is that it has an Firewall program, that blocks user specified numbers. So SMS and calls from specific numbers are not shown ! They are listed in a log inside firewall .

So - anyone knows ANOTHER software with this functions ??? Cuz i can't find any..

@neitin got your PM

Also, here's an update on the app:

I will not have a chance to work on this again for a few more days. As it stands now, a user can search forums, select a forum, view individual forums (like subforums) within a forum, and view topics within each forum. Forums stats are also viewable, and the app saves a history on which forums you have gone to.

While it may not seem like a lot, these functions, combined with designing the UI, also combined with figuring out how the Tapatalk service works and building a base to connect to various parts really has taken a lot of time. While it can get very frusterating at times, I am still working hard on it and hope to release a beta in the next couple of weeks. I'm very sorry it's so far away, I just underestimated the difficulty of dealing with the Tapatalk service.

To developers: The Tapatalk API uses XML-RPC, which in my opinion, is ridiculous. A lot of things are base64 encoded and I read that XML-RPC is 4x heavier than XML, let alone JSON. Also, with XML-RPC, the response model cannot be serialized very easily. I've developed a system to do so but takes a lot of work to do for each new data type.

Basically, the Tapatalk API is more complex and harder to work with (at least to me) than anything else I've developed an app for, including Box.net, Pastebin.com, sports scores apps, RSS feeds, Edmunds.com, and AudioGalaxy.com.

Thanks to everyone who signed up, even though it may end up being a few weeks in advance.

New Demo Video Available

I know, it isn't the prettiest, or fastest, but I've been working hard and it's time for me to show you a video of ForumTalk in action.

A few things to point out:

I am not really asking for feedback based on this video yet

The choppiness is because of the emulator, it runs much better on my Lumia 900

I know XDA-Developers is in my recent forums list 4 times... :D

The UI needs work

This is only to show you what you signed up to test

I know it needs a lot of work - it's not even close to beta quality yet

What do think about graphics?

So, I decided to ask everyone - if anyone is interested - what they thought about my graphics I have made for ForumTalk.

Updated:

Blue!! Opinions?

I'm definitely not saying that these are final!!

(They probably will be though)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] DavidinCT:
Looks good, I like them all on one line... that's just me..
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] SimzzDev:
By all on one line, do you mean the way I posted the images, or are you referring to the first image?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] DavidinCT:
The first image, with Fourmtalk on one row, not with talk below...

Just my thoughts tho...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] SimzzDev:
Thanks for clarifying. I actually prefer it on one row too, but I thought the second image might be better suited for a square image, which will be used for the app icon and tile for ForumTalk. I am using the one-line image for the splash screen and inside the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] CruciasNZ:
I like them both, you can use the top one for the Panorama Banner perhaps?

Anyway, it'd be cool if you can set the tile to use accent-color as the background. That green would look foul against my blue background :D
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] daddyrazzy:
i like them both, the square is perfect for the tile!:cyclops::laugh:
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] SimzzDev:
Thanks for feedback, I actually am currently using the top one for the panorama banner, in fact, that's mostly what it was designed for :)

I will probably make the accent-colored tile an optional change (similar to my app Next Browser if you've seen it), but my only concern is the orange used in the text is very similar to the accent color 'mango' which could be a problem.

Awesome! Thanks

Also, status update:

I keep going back and forth, but I have finally decided that beta 1 is about ready. I still have some other things on my list, and I'm sure I will find a lot more while testing tomorrow, but I will release it soon. Unfortunately, it is decided that this beta will not be capable of logging in to any forums due to a very annoying, but fixable, but annoying bug I will have to overcome in the future.

BTW, I can't make any promises, so I won't give an ETA. Sorry.

Thanks,

Johnny

By the way I love it when people post to this thread, it encourages me, so if you have questions or comments, feel free.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ram49:
Both logo's are nice. As you said, first one will be apt for Panaroma view and second for live tile.

I would also like to stress the request to make the live tile supports accent color of the phone.
