[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scayre32:
I'd go for black

I have the black one and it just looks lovely after almost a year of solid use. It's not a chrome bezel though, it's pretty dark.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmage17:
I also had the black one as it doesnt get dirty easily. If you scare the phone get dirty easily, buy a protector. The color is pretty much of your opinion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gelocatronico:
Yeah, black seems old but with the great amoled looks fine than white
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exynoss:
Dude do not go for black . I have black but it sucks when compare to white. White looks simply awesome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Pricelists I seen a while back had the black one £50 more than the white one.

I have a white one,but I think the black ones have a higher resale value as they must be more desirable.

And there's a pink option too.......lol

Hey is there any option to change full body of gs2 with different available color in Samsung service center.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auto_freak:
I've had two S2's so far, both of them on black. Black ones are much easy to resell. They are also much more demanded, but if I could and if I do, I'd go for the white one. Just to try something different and also because on the reviews from youtube back from last year, it was clear the S2 was a bit more desired. The phone's in white can get dirty very easily so be aware of course. Black ones if scratched can be caught in the eye much easily and also dents or chips are more visible on the black ones imho.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hosamn:
My own experience :)

So I happen to own the white one..

Don't get me wrong, I love my phone and every thing but

it looks kinda "ODD" if you know what I mean..

especially when you are trying to watch a vid in a dark room

or when you get it out in a bus or somewhere crowded -you get people staring LOL :laugh:-

I've been using it for a while and the back cover is as good as new.

I guess the problem is the shiny rim.. it gets scratched easily.

so If I get to choose again I'd go for the black this time :)..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King_Rat:
I want a red one :rolleyes:

I'd go white... just keep it clean & use a protective clear case ^^
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exynoss:
If someone has white but want black one then u can exchange with me. I have black but I want white.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordemil:
last time i checked, the white one has smooth glossy finish for the battery cover unlike the black one. but if you get a case i dont think anyone would see it

the white looks nicer with the sliver bezel around it. if i could i would have gotten a white one but it came out after i got the black one -.-
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparksltd:
My wife has a white one and I have a black one. Both purchased about 9 months ago. I look after mine better than my wife, as in I don't just throw it into a bag of keys like she does! However her white gs2 looks like new still and mine always looks a little worn.

I would say we use them about the same too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exynoss:
Oh..man u bought two same smartphone in family. At least u can buy a different one or ur wife so that u can exchange device with each other when get bore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordemil:
i think the white one will appear more dirty than the white one but you can easily clean it off. however, the white one doesnt make scratches stand out unlike the black one

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] alexdagreat:
Hey guys heres the thing. My micro USB port is broken(phone not recognized by computer and phone does not charge) so I was wondering if there is a way to change the system partition on the phone so I can use different ROMs without using the HD2 Toolkit and plugging my phone in

also I am currently running an ICS ROM I believe I am currently at 150 MB with 5MB cache....any help is appreciated thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
there is a version of cLK that can be flashed from sd card, , and cLK allows partitioning without a usb port.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
Just bored and venting about how much I hate stock TW 2.3.6 on my S2. The USB hub on my phone has been iffy, at best, recently and until I get a warranty exchange, I'm keeping stock. It won't be for another week or so because I have to go into the local TMO store tomorrow and document the problem for their staff. It took me forever to unroot and ODIN back to stock because of my damaged USB port, I can't risk it again. Ugh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
Yeah I too had the same usb faulty issue and had to return - but I didn't even bother to unroot I just sent it back, they never say anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hotadef:
Usb problem here is got replacement screen is almost perfect got small blob in bottom right corner probably sending this one back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
What does tw have to do with a faulty usb hub?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
LOL there's no direct correlation dude. But in order to get a warranty replacement, I need to be on stock firmware. I know some people say that they've sent it in rooted and on a custom ROM but I'm not gonna take the risk if I don't need to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vmartinez39:
I bought my device used. Has one nicks and minor scratch on body.

I swear I'm a strict about having the any of my devices stay as new as possible. I wanted to warranty exchange. In the end I stuck with the device. Also hear the replacements are all refurb devices.

In the end I just loaded CM9. Main reason I stayed away from this device was the Stock ROM. I hate it...... Alot.....

Been happy because of CM9. Now the imperfections don't bother me so much, but the true source of my hate for this phone was really the Stock ROM. Now I'm just pleased.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rel500:
Asurion didn't want to give me a replacement phone since I broke mine in Feb, called it in in May, and went to finish my claim July 22. A simple letter to the CeO with some few choice words will do wonders. I have a NEW non-refurbished phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] N31N:
Former rep here, doesnt matter. In store reps are typically stupid, just say its a theme. Reps in the know - know better, they might recommend erring on the side of caution just to be nice...

Protip: the out of warranty replacement fee is usually less than the insurance deductible. No one ever reported back with issues after sending a smashed/wet phone, so I'll assume its still valid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Then why pay for insurance? :what:

Sent from the pink Unicorn from the Darkside. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] N31N:
to generate additional revenue? lol

insurance is best for lost/stolen and additional extended warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
So even with a cracked screen, warranty isn't nullified?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Androideric:
Bought mine with insurance it was 500 bucks, so i figures mine as well get the longest warranty possible. My dad did the same. Lost one, dropped and smashed one, first time free, second time deductible. Still a ton of money saved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] N31N:
they just charge you the replacement fee and everyone moves on with their business. If you need more than just my word, make up some excuse to get to look at the exchange pages at your local store. I found this stuff out in the small print right above the CUSTOMER AGREES? checkbox (that no one ever reads; on the phone they do, but very very quickly) and shortly after found someone who was desperate enough to try it.

To reiterate; neither i nor my customers have had any problems replacing cracked screens or water damage, but tmo has wised up on some of the old tricks before so it may just be a matter of time.

I had been doing this from march through October of "11.

Also!! Good luck finding a rep who doesn't mind subverting the rules to help out people. Haha

Edit: ill try to reach out and have someone get me a picture of the page in question, it may take a few days though

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sferg.410:
Hi, thread title pretty much explains my question. I am a new GNex user having change from an S2 running a Nexus ROM.

The GNex is stock ROM, SIM free, unlocked bootloader and rooted using the Nexus Toolkit and running JB 4.1.1

Now I have my phone just how I want it with apps and settings etc, some stock apps removed like google+ etc. I would like to be able to UNROOT the device so I can run software that does not run on rooted devices like Barclays PingIT.

So is there a reasonably simple way to at least make the device appear unrooted and to not lose any off my apps, settings and to not have anything added back (so flashing factory ROM is not an option)????

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:

Unlock/Lock without wipe...if you have SU access.

I've never heard of an app that requires your bootloader to be locked.

But open Superuser (currently running a backup or I'd test) and it should have a temp un-root option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sferg.410:
ok maybe i didnt write my thread correctly...

the lock/unlock is not really an issue as that can be done with nexus toolbox anyway.

the point of the thread is 'can i UNROOT the phone' without loosing settings and apps etc or changing it in anyway. lock/unlock is not really an issue.

i want to be able to use Barclays PingIT for example but it is able to detect if a device is rooted and then stops working.

so unrooting is the issue, not locking the bootloader

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Unlocking the bootloader with that toolkit WILL wipe your data...fyi.

And I just told you.

Open super user.

Swipe the pane all the way to the left.

"Temp Unroot"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sferg.410:
yes i am very aware that it wipes my data, bit of a pain but that is learning, i shouldn't have relocked it should i... had it all nice and now i have to do it all again. I did have an app backup though so wont need to download everything. just redo all the settings.

As for SU temp unroot - that does not work, it makes no difference to an app like Barclays PingIT, it still detects the device as rooted.

I think we all have that problem.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GPhil:
Don't worry, the hardware is like that! That being said, I was impressed by the sound quality of this small speaker, but the same on the left side would have be nice...
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:
Yeah, I discovered later as I was looking for the speakers that there is only the one grill. I have to say that is probably the most disappointing feature of this tablet. However, It's not THAT big a deal that I'll return it, but I think it will be a must for the next one. I know I've seen a lot of people state that it's a ridiculous setup, and to some extent I agree. It really does make things difficult when watching something with Netflix when the volume level of the show is lower than most (such as Star Trek Voyager, which I'm currently watching)

In general the voice recognition is good but there are a full words it always gets wrong e.g. it wont get my wifes name right so I can't voice call her. Is there a way of training google now to get this right? I have set the langauge to my country and this helped alot with other words and locations but just doesn't get them all.

Any help here or am I stuck with only the options google think I said?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] logicalgod:
Seconded

I second this, My wifes name is not recognised and I have tried adding a phonetic name ( tho it then displays this as the contact name :/ ) even downloading the language pack for the country her name is from! nothing! so annoying. this must be a common problem? but theres no posts about it, this makes me think that I'm thick and can't find something that most people think is obvious. tried adding a nick name of 'the wife' which google voice would hear correctly but only do a web search??? fortunately I have an S3 and S-voice will recognise the name but I was hoping to switch.

btw running 4.1 omega rom on S3 and changing my wifes name to Donna via Deed poll...

[Asus Transformer TF700] JMH-ESH:
I was wondering if we needed a wifi connection when using GPS or if the satellite connections are all that are required. Also does the GPS functionality cost money to use?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Technically, it works without Wi-Fi, but Wi-Fi adds accuracy. The problem is, you'll find that you can't really search for places to navigate. For example, Google Maps finds my location just fine, but if I search for a store or something, it hangs looking for a data connection. Google Navigate can't find the address that I type in. So, to sum it up, GPS and some sort of data connection go hand-in-hand. When I'm out, I share my 3G Connection from my phone via wireless tethering to supply the tablet with a connection.

There is no cost to use the GPS functionality.

Hope this helps!
[Asus Transformer TF700] JMH-ESH:
thank you. that did answer my question(s).
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
It might be of use to read http://en.wikipedia.org/GPS because this is a general question as to the underlying mechanism of global positioning, triangulation and so on, and has nothing to do with the specifics of our device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ZankerH:
That doesn't answer the question. GPS does not require a data connection. Some navigation apps require it, but there are also applications that provide full offline GPS-assisted navigation with no need for an internet connection at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
To be honest, I think it does, at least partly -- since his second question was if GPS functionality costs money (answer: no, it is kindly provided by the United States Department of Defense for you perusal). Furthermore, in the article is referenced the answer to the ame question above: GPS functionality requires only the GPS antenn itself, although the position acquisition (not to be confused with signal acquisition, since that is reception-dependent only) may be faster when a data connection is available to downoad the ephemeris, for example.

It'd be nicer if you fully read and ditto understood both questionand answer before correction a non-mistake. Again, there was no device-specific question asked, so, essentially, it doesn't belong in here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Thanks for the clarifications to my answer. My first sentence did say that technically GPS works without Wi-Fi. It was important to state that many of the typical uses for GPS however do require a data connection, so it is very important not to leave that out because the OP didn't state what they planned to use GPS for. I summed it up by saying that data and GPS are great compliments to each other for a device, which is also true.
