Odp: [Discussion] How MANY of you will update? :P

Actually that's sad. But we, owners of S2, we had more luck than S with firmware upgrade. Have we? Let's look at this from other way.

S started with what,

2.1 Eclair?

Then it moved to Froyo 2.2.

Now it's stopped at 2.3.6 Gingerbread.

S2 started with

2.3.3, first was XWKDD.

Next was ICS. You saw that from first official 4.0.3 ( XXLPQ) to first leak of 4.0.4 ( XXLQ5) and first official ( XXLQ7 if I remember well) we were waiting like 7 months ( from FEB to JULY, inculding FEB).

Now we have XXLSJ first, and the only JB leak since NOV. The same with first Note.

Maybe that's the politic of Samsung? 3 versions and go buy another S stuff or **** yourself?

If Samsung wanted to stop JB at the XXLSJ, Theye made big mistake. Samsung Korea annouced "changelog " for JB.

Now theye have to make the promise real...

Well just sent back the S3 that I bought last week.

Reasons :

- seems to eat batt. I did an OTA to 4.1.2 when I just received it and did 2 factory resets in 3 days time.

- alot bigger with those rounded corners but didn't notice the bigger screen that much (honestly)

- difficult to hold since it is thin. .... I can hear you, get a gel case ... than why does it need to be thin

- noticed lags which do not bother me on my S2, that btw also has a big batt and lasts at least 2 days

- another thing, camera, very quick btw, but contract of the pictures way to high which resulted in unnatural and undetailed especially dark grey objects became almost black. No way to alter contrast in the settings (my HTC's could always do this)

I love my S1 and S2 so why would I move on?

Btw all those people that say that Samsung or others need to give us the latest Android version. Well my Nokia 3310 and the Nokia e61 still have old firmwares and are still working.

If it wasn't for XDA and Dev's no one would complain about the device not getting an official update to the greatest and latest.
[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
Unfortunately where i live, Xperia V is targeted at 500€ off contract which makes it more expensive than S3. Hmm.

s3 disappointing

had an s3 for about 5 weeks, was not impressed, sold it for 400...bought an s2x for 200 and to be quite honest I think its a better phone...I have a feeling that Samsung rushed release of s3 to compete with apple......will not buy s4...too fckn big:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] merlin21:
AW: [Discussion] How MANY of you will update? :P

S2 is the best phone size for me. The screen shouldn't be bigger. I carry the phone in my trouser-bag. Design of s3 it's a no go!

I hate the round top and bottom - so I would be lucky if the s4 locks like the preview picture in topic ;)

It's not about big phones but it's making a phone but adding more screen size and maximum resolution. Eg - Look at Sony Xperia Z which is 5'' Full HD device and design is brilliant and quite comfortable even if you're a S2 user. Sony has got rid of physical buttons (home, menu and back) and wish Samsung does the same.

Hahah, you must be kidding. Nexus S got unofficial 4.2.1 (google stopped updating old phone) a week after google released 4.2.1 for other nexus devices and its even smoother than 4.1.2. And that phone is really old old bastard. So if that weak phone got 4.2.1, why wouldnt s2 got 2 more major updates, officialy or not. Devs will be here, just not as much as now. Dont be affraid. You will get next OS for sure.

I'll probably avoid exynos-based devices in the future, but that might depend how the community support of the phone is too.
[Galaxy S II General] CrashUK:
I love the s2 and this will be a my upgrade.
[Galaxy S II General] Jockson:
I most definitely will not be buying the S4. To be honest, my S2 does pretty much everything I need in a phone. Plus it looks nicer than many new phones and is fairly compact by today's standards. Even the S3 is too big for me. I do have big hands but these phones with large screens are simply not very practical to carry around. From normal viewing distance, even the high resolution isn't that big of a deal.

The situation with sources does suck and it will make me think twice before buying a Samsung phone in the future but like I said, I'm pretty happy with my S2 on JB.
[Galaxy S II General] batt002:
will not upgrade, the S2 is big enough for me to do everything in daily life, i dont need a better phone right now. and for my next phone the obvious choice will be a nexus device, sometime in the future :)
[Galaxy S II General] alen1901:
I will upgrade to nexus4 if i find it cheap in my country (its not even available yet), or to nexus5. (5inch screen is killing me, i dont need that big crap, i need a phone to use it with 1 hand, to be normal size, not phablet.. stupid future and big screens trend.. who needs 1080p on phone.. competing competing.)

[Galaxy S II General] agronademi89:
I would rather buy a Nexus phone.

2GhZ Quad-core, 13MP Camera, and 2GB ram is very tempting, but i prefer stock Android and the latest updates as they happen much more.

Also, Samsung products are very expensive these days. Google Nexus all the way.
[Galaxy S II General] crocodilechris:
AW: [Discussion] How MANY of you will update? :P

I will use my S2 untill it does not work anymore.

With all the custom ROMs, the phone will be up to date for long. :)

And its hardware is such good that I don't need a brand new phone in near future. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] fatjivi:
I'm eyeing xperia z for that reason. People say that Sony is very dev friendly and supposedly codeworkx and entropy are getting that as well. Xperia z has similar specs and if it can run aosp ROM as in nexus I think it would be sure buy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
Now that I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I'm thinking of turning my Skyrocket into a google TV. I have the MHL/HDMI cable, which I ordered from ebay. The picture on the phone is mirrored to the TV.

Yesterday I tried playing a Netflix video (using the official netflix app) from the phone onto the TV. But it was very pixelated. When I did the same thing from a laptop using the HDMI out the picture quality was aaaaa lot better.

Anybody else know why this might be?

Has anybody else used or using their skyrocket as their entertainment hub? How is it working out for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ian1:
Since the skyrocket only has 480p netflix only sends that down. So that 480p is stretched across your tv it doesnt look good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
A suggestion:

You'll be much better off by selling your Skyrocket and buying one of the Android TV sticks. They go dirt cheap, even the dual-core ones, and you'll get decent performance, full HD, tablet interface, and if you pick carefully - even Linux can be booted on it. And you'll stay with extra $$$ in your pocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Or you could buy a Google TV just saying lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
Good point. But I can't sell my skyrocket because the screen is shattered.

But I think I'll get a Google TV stick like the mk808.

I did the same thing with my skyrocket. Using the mhl cable I got with an old infuse And it worked well only pixilated for about a minute or two. Could it be your tv? Or internet connection?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cervani:
To be honest, one of the major reasons I will be buying a tablet is for the games. For me it goes reading, games and movies... and not necessarily in that order. However, I have cruised the forums a bit and not found a truly definitive answer.

To put it frankly, I'm a RPG buff. From the SNES to the PS1, I love the genre. However, I am leery of the very high resolution of the N10 versus the look of the older games (SNES for example). I remember seeing a spreadsheet somewhere, where it listed Chrono Trigger as only appearing at 1/4th the size of the screen and crashing. This saddened me, and can potentially be a deal breaker in regards to me finalizing in buying this tablet.

Is there a way around what could be horrible looking old school games on such a high res display? And is there a way to get Chrono Trigger to work (its one of my favorites :< ).

Thank you for the help.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
If a game only appears on 1/4 of the screen then that is the emulators fault, as is any crashing. Whatever emulator it was is most likely not designed to be run on a wide range of devices and resolutions and just needs to be updated for the Nexus 10's hardware.

I have been using MyBoy lately and while I havent tested explicitly tested Chrono Trigger, all games that normally work in the emulator work just the same on my phone, 7" tablet, or Nexus 10. The only difference is screen size.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duarian:
I used to use anima online SNES. I am currently trying snes9xex. I set it to full screen instead of 16:9. Honestly doesn't look that bad. Here is secret of manager.

I will add I've beaten super metroid using the HDMI out of the tablet to my tc the entire play though. Also I beat super Mario RPG on the tablet strictly.

The games look great, full screen is a little stretched but its really not that bad. I personally was in the same situation as you when I wanted to buy it for those exact purposes. Once six axis updated to support android 4.2 I was loving every minute of it.

How to fix Chrono Trigger on the Nexus 10:

Turn on game. Press home button. On home screen rotate 180 degrees to the other landscape side.

Then turn off auto-rotate. Force close the game through the task manager and turn the game on again.

Hello guy's,

I have installed Froyobread with Stock Kernel on my U20 phone and I thing it one of the best roms.

But the camera performance sucks, like all custom roms I use..

So my question is:

When I copy the Lib folder from stock rom would it make the camera performance better or like stock?..

Or is there any way to make on ALL custom roms a Camera (Video rec. included) performance like Stock firmware ???

And which file must be changed to FIX HWKeyboard light without using apps like Kfix??

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] photon4glover:
I'd like to know as well!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] steelbreze:
I did a pretty extensive look on amazon before purchasing my case and I didn't see anything like a bumper case for the Evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
Seems the only option is to buy a TPU case and cut the back out. =(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iljesse1o23:
Go on eBay! I know for a fact they're on there, I looked right before i replied.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billykent1972:
I have to ask, you "know for a fact" but you couldn't copy/paste a link to one? There are many TPU cases on ebay that some people call a bumper but it isn't a bumper if it has a back plate.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
I haven't seen any, and I've spent a lot of time on ebay and Amazon. I would suggest the same as others have, and just remove the back from a TPU case. I've seen a few with white or black sides and a clear back. That's what I would buy, as I think those would be easier to remove the back and probably give you a cleaner finished product. I remember there were a few TPU cases for the Evo 3D where the back came out pretty easy, and didn't look messy. There were a couple thread about them back when the 3D was pretty new. You didn't even have to cut the back out of them, they would just pop out of you pressed really hard in the right places.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iljesse1o23:
It says since i'm a new user I can't post links. All I did was go to ebay and search Hte evo 4g Lte bumper case and there is hundreds. But we may be talking about 2 different kinds of cases. If so, then sorry.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
I just went to my ebay app and searched "Evo LTE bumper case". There was only 18 results. There were a few full silicone or tpu cases, but most were like I mentioned in my post above. White or Black silicone around the edges (like a bumper case), but they have a full clear back made of a hard plastic.

I saw no true bumper cases on ebay!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
What kind of cases are you talking about? I only know of one kind of bumper case
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Two kinds of "bumper" cases

Evo 4g lte Since the phone isn't as square as the iPhone then the only way the case would work is to have a back on it. Which in my opinion looks horrid.

iPhone Since the phone is square the bumper can grip the phone and not fall off. Leading to it being able to be backless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
^^^Not true. A bumper case WOULD work on the Evo LTE, it's just that no one makes one for us. The Nexus 4 is shaped like the Evo LTE, and it has bumper cases...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iljesse1o23:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Here's a picture of a case with a black border and white back. It was the first I came across, but I've also seen this case with a clear back as well. It's the first link in my post above.

What's odd is the auction says that it's clear, but it isn't. The white Evo LTE does NOT have black around the camera and flash, nor is there black around the kickstand AND the kickstand is silver and not red, like the pictured item is. So the case in the pictures definitely has a white back with a black Evo in it, not a clear back with a white Evo in it. I'm going to save the item to my watch list and ask the seller why the description doesn't match the pictures. I'll also see if he'll send me pictures of the white bordered case and the black bordered case, both with the clear back of course. I doubt there will be an Evo in the case, but that's fine. If the case looks decent in the pictures he sends me, then I'll definitely buy one just so I can share photos of it with everyone on here. I'll post pictures of it empty, with my white Evo in it, and with my black Evo in it. I think I'll buy the one with the white border though, just in case I do like the case and decide to use it occasionally. I think my white Evo will look better in the the white bordered case than it will in the one with the black border.
