Try Sensation XE though it is nice and have lower budget than the s2. And it is almost as good as s2 with the dual cored 1.5 ghz. With 768 ram it's quite nice.

But if you love samsung and doesn't want to move to other brand well s2 is better. But definitely go to s3 man. Craving for that badly but sooo expensive.

The sensation xe it's nice on the upper hand of wonder. Try to search it in the google and compare it with s2 :D

Nice nice phone for my opinion, because i can't afford for s2 as i really wanted because of the price :p

If I were to change my handset, most probably I will be going for the middle or upper low-end phones. As the reason for rooting one's phone is to unleash the phone's potential.

When I first realized that SGW is under the legacy and low activity device section, I was a bit disappointed. Nonetheless, this forum has actually bring our phone to a whole new level.

Considering that you buy a high end mobile phone. The after effects of rooting your phone doesn't really give you much satisfaction as compared to SGW.

Yeah, the tab is great, it is now running fully stock JB. I don't like taking it out side because it is too big :( I am going to to start working soon, I will consider a new phone then but my W will be always with me :)

I would upgrade to a S3 since it seems pretty good and I tested one in the shops and it feels fantastic to use. Honestly don't get anything in the Nexus series of phones cause no matter how good they look and seem, it lacks a MicroSD slot for expandable memory and its a wonder why anyone who likes watching movies or listening to music and especially gaming would get one.

I personally will steer clear of phones with no SD Card slot: one can't do a Pristine install on such.

If you check out the root directory of the SD Card, you can find a directory called .android_secure. This directory needs to be *totally gone* for Pristine to do is magic, and there's no way of deleting it when the card is mounted.

Plus...

... when you've used TubeMate (to download videos from YouTube, using multiple connections) you'll be amazed at how fast a 16GB card fills up :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
Wait a sec....

Pristine is deleting that file? I delete it on every new rom lol never tried pristine

I go to CWM mount SD and delete it ;)

And btw I don't download vids from YouTube......they aren't porn! And even if they were I only watch a video once, a secound watch is only for special ones xD
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
That is among others. Android/obb also contains lots of files downloaded based on what your phone is running on.

The internet in my country is sh!t unless you're using a Cable Internet. So, I get into the habit of downloading YouTube videos first, just to save myself from continual buffering delays...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
Oh......I got the habit of leaving the vid silent till it loads then watch xD
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
True pep.. that is so needed in our country, and to save some data packet though is the second things too.

And for the un-sd card phone i guess it will affect the performance i guess if your internal have plenty of file. I've experienced that when on nokia n95 8gb with only 3gb filled the phone gets slower though. Imagine if almost 90% full? It just my opinion though CMIIW

Yes, there's that: performance issue.

I read somewhere (Phoronix IIRC) that below 50% free, performance of FAT32 on Linux takes a nosedive. At less than 20% free, performance reached such low level one *need* to free space just to return performance to an acceptable level.

Well....got my upgrade.....galaxy S2.........

It's rooted and cusROM'd already (start to finish....2 days lol) .

I don't have my Wonder anymore..... My eldest has claimed it.. :(

I'll still pop in from time to time to maintain my sticky guide, and to chat with y'all and maybe help out if I can.....this forum is definitely more friendly than the S2 forum.....far fewer flamers and more members willing to help......

This forum will always be my FIRST choice to visit when logging on to XDA even though I don't have the associated phone any more.

So just one thing left to say......

A MASSIVE thanks to everybody who has helped me and given me advice when I needed it......

And an equally MASSIVE thanks to Arco68 for his fantastic, unceasing, relentless support to the Galaxy Wonder and it's owners.....

Hmmm... Sensation is HTC, right?

I am somewhat ... unsure of HTC devices.

My next phone will be a Sony; they're awesome: if you go to the page where you can request a bootloader unlock code, they thoughtfully include a link to XDA!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
Yup it is HTC. First thought i want to get sony too but when i found that the phone that i was interesting in have limited memory such as it only can use internal memory not sd card. From then i just look out that with the capabilities for sd card it costs a lot more than this HTC so this sensation doesn't let me down till now.

I mean it is fine though. Why are you not sure about HTC? It is just not the not very famous brand in the society :p

Sent From Viperized Sensation Z715e
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
1. They are known to lock their bootloader and refuses to help devs to unlock it... at least until one of them sued.

2. Their market share is dwindling, which means there will be less developers working on it.

3. They will release their source code only under pressure.

@azrienoch, IIRC, once posted a video lamenting how HTC is truly not 'in the spirit of Android'. Or something to that effect.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Sony are by far the most "proactive" company when it comes to supporting the dev community, HTC are not the only villains..... Some of Samsungs code is closed source and despite pressure, looks set to remain so...the one point in their favour is that (at the moment) they're not locking their bootloaders.........

Sent from my CM10.1 powered Galaxy S2 with tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Except for that single S III model released for Verizon...

It was so very surprising when it happened that @azrienoch created a video imploring Samsung to not do it and return to what it was before, a dev-friendly company.

The "Exynos documentation snafu" that made some CM devs bitter also made me had some second thoughts about Samsung.

As to Sony, a couple of weeks ago there's a news on the XDA Portal that Sony is releasing Alpha source code for a yet-to-be-released phone, to gain input from the community. In the same article, it was mentioned that Sony had never failed releasing source code in a timely fashion. Unlocking Sony bootloader is explained in great detail on Sony Mobile's website [1]; they even put a helpful link to the proper forum in XDA!

[1] http://unlockbootloader.Sonymobile.com
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kreaz:
Whoa, I didn't know that Sony is (actually) the most dev-friendly vendor here. Because IMO, the minus points of a dev-friendly vendor is the bootloader.

But I'm a bit so-so about Sony as my next device after SGW.

The rumors about SGS4 (GT-I9500), the unpromising market of Sony compared to Samsung and some other factors.

I'm always moving to hTC but then, after i heard about the Xperia S, i straight away move to Sony....:D:D:D

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hadidjapri:
if im not mistaken Sony is elected as the most dev-friendly. sony even have public git repository for the dev to work with

for SGS4 you probably have heard the fail marketing strategy stating it as "octa" core. they most probably use 4 A-9 and 4 A-15core.

also not to mention about the bad documentation of Exynos chip that frustated many developers here
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reddvilzz:
Wow looks like a bad view about HTC.. Didn't ever know about all of this. But at least it is not a disappointing phone to be used. Although it lacks on original dev from HTC it self at least the custom devs are amazing you can try to see it by yourself pep on the sensation thread in xda it was amazing how they develop it

But thanks about the info though :thumbup:

He was so fed up with the situation, he switched over to developing CM for Sony. Read his post above to see the praise he had for Sony.

Sony's handhelds might not be the glitziest ones out there, but they definitely gets the job done. Plus, they are known to release updates for their lesser-known models until they're too damn old.

Which is why 'leaked' source code is worth less than the flash disk containing it ;)

There will come a day when the person(s) suing for HTC's source code got fed up and leaves HTC for greener pastures... and that means, the thousands of HTC users (of future models) will be left out, hung out to dry...

I'm just securing my future here :cool:

Just to prevent a misunderstanding: I'm not slamming HTC devices; they're good, wonderfully engineered pieces of marvel, with a lively dev community (for devices whose source code has been released). I'm just not trusting of the company, is all.

I was running cyanogenmod 9 on my phone when I looked into rom manager, I realized that there was a new version available (6.0.2.7) so I installed it via rom manager. A few days later i found that a stable version of cyanogenmod 10 was available so i put the zip file on my phone and followed the instructions to flash it. I did a darkside superwipe and everything. Then i went to boot my phone and it was stuck on the boot animation for 30 minutes, i scrolled down the page to find a comment from a person having the same issue, he said that to fix it he just pulled the battery out of his phone, put it back in and booted into recovery, did a factory reset, cache wipe and fixed permissions, then booted and it worked. I decided to try, so I booted recovery and tried to do a factory reset, clockworkmod froze. I tried it again, and it froze again. I then tried to clear the cache, clockworkmod froze. I tried to do a darkside superwipe, clockworkmod froze. No matter what I try to install clockworkmod will freeze. Has anybody on here had this problem, or know how to fix it? Or maybe know how to downgrade clockworkmod without being able to actually use the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
First off, don't use the Superwipe script on anything other than CWM 5.0.X. It'll cause a boot loop and ruin your recovery. I think your best bet is to boot into download mode and flash a recovery using Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WhittyAndrew:
I just discovered that I can't get into download mode either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EasyE75:
Have you ever tried to reset your phone through kies? If not give it a try. Open kies on your computer then go to tools and click on upgrade and initialize. It will ask you to enter your device model, then the s/n number and just follow the instructions from kies. Let me know if that works for you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WhittyAndrew:
Good idea, but my phone won't actually get passed the boot animation, so Kies can't recognize it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EasyE75:
Yeah mine was doing the same, can you get it in download mode?

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

I tell you what, plug your phone to the computer and press volume up down and power it should get you in download mode then try to do the above trick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaidinBDJ:
If you can still get back to CWM recovery mode, you can use adb from a PC to reboot it into download by

adb shell
su
reboot download

After that you should be able to use Odin to push anything you need to (or Kies *should* work when it's in download mode, it's been a while since I've used it for anything)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WhittyAndrew:
Yes just figured out to get my phone in download you have to just hold the down volume button, then put in the usb cable. Rather then holding both up and down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EasyE75:
Just to let you you don't need kies to recognize your device to do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WhittyAndrew:
Just retried and it started, but then I got a notice with a bunch of Chinese writing, then the upgrade shutdown.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EasyE75:
Well sorry to hear that. I would recommend to go galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick, I used that the last time my bricks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaidinBDJ:
If you can get to download, you can try Odin to push a new recovery image. If you get CWM back up and running, you can use various adb spells and have a pretty good chance to get your phone back into working condition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EasyE75:
Let us know how things going. We will try to get your phone back to working condition.

alright so, heres where I am: the whole kies thing didn't work, so I tried to flash a new recovery through odin, it failed and now my phone is on a message that looks like the download screen, but instead of "downloading" it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EasyE75:
May be try kies again. I also post a web site to check I used it the last time my phone bricked. If you didn't see it here it is galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick. It worked for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WhittyAndrew:
Figured out that the screen I was seeing is still download mode, and odin still recognizes my phone. Found on the website that if I try to flash the stock firmware via odin, it should unbrick/ unroot the phone. When I tried to flash through odin it got stuck on the boot.img process and wont load any further. I tried kies again and still had the same problem.
