Shiett... for me I absolutely hate iPhones (iPads are fine). The OS is ok-ish, but the typing. My fingers are too big to type on an iphone. I also like to watch a lot of porn on mine so I need a big screen which Samsung's android phones provide plenty of. :laugh:
[General Questions and Answers] ii1Da:
i would go with droid because you can easy mod the hole system. and when you aren´t happy with your system or the look and feel you cann flash new things, and it´s much cheaper like an iphone or an lumia

i think ios is a system for persons that want to have a status symbol. the would also buy a toilet for 100000$ or a piece of **** when there is a apple symbol on it.

in the and you have to make a choice and you have to live with it.

I have my experience with all three OS.

I used to have an iPhone, but one day I ordered my GS2.

What I thought: Wow!

Android gives you the freedom to do whatever you like, to use whatever you like. It has a bigger AppStore then any other OS and it's possible to let it look like iOS or WP8.

WP8 just doesn't have apps for ever need, and don't forget: Microsoft is the company that brought us Windows, argggghhh.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
If you take battery life and camera quality out of the equation, do you think there is a good reason to upgrade to S4 from S2 ? do you find something particularly better on the S4 ?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DummyPLUG:
LTE
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techfreakgag:
Overall screen quality, much much faster charging, lots of smart features which makes life easier.

For me, the screen and battery life(also the charging speed, was frustrated by S2 taking 4-5 hrs to charge) were the reasons enough to upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sntaylor87:
I'd say I do like the phone but was almost slightly disappointed when I first got it...I preferred the size of the s2 but have since become more used to the s4 size wise. Otherwise as others said, screen quality is much better, battery is better for me at least, some of the gimmicky stuff is good for some, nfc and just generally faster etc

worth the upgrade if you want to!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
Thank you for your answers.

From what you say, it seems I don't have much to gain by upgrading from S2 to S4 currently.

I don't have LTE in my country.

I keep a spare S2 battery in my wallet (so battery is never an issue).

All the gimmicks I'll probably never use...

I do like the bigger screen, but it also makes it harder to carry...

It seems that even though the S4 is about 10X faster than the S2, this huge hardware advantage doesn't translate to real life performance gain (apart from 3D games maybe, but I hardly play those).

2 years ago I upgraded from HTC HD2 to Galaxy S2, because the S2's internet browsing speed was about 2-3 times faster than the HD2. This was a real advantage I could enjoy every day (and I am enjoying it everyday). It seems that the S4 simply doesn't have that "killer feature" which will make it a much more functional device than the S2 (browsing speed for example is practically identical between these two devices)... It could be that Android 5 will finally unleash the S4's potential (and totally kill the S2 because of lack of support), but I think Android 5 is very far away... (by then we might have the S5 already)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyXperiaA:
Ultimately, it does come down to what you use. I must say though, the S4 is very easy to get used to. So, once you're used to the 5inch in hand, it'll be hard for you to go back to anything smaller.

But browsing is smoother if anything. But, if you're happy with your S2 then you should stay and wait for S800 CPUs to arrive atleast :) Then, you may witness some real performance boosts. Not that you wont see any improvement with the S600 [you will :D]
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidocelada:
I upgraded from s2 to i9500.

The screen resolution its A WHOLE NEW WORLD i can tell you that, also the size of it, once you get confortable with the size, you cant never go back. The only thing its that there is a lot less roms, and another thing from my model is that there is a problem with the camera driver and some apps wont work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
I upgraded from the S2 to S4 (I9505 edition)

PROS:

* Bigger screen / better resolution / much more vibrant / much more clear / heaps better colour

* Faster / more powerful in EVERY aspect (CPU, RAM, WIFI, LTE etc etc)

* Newer / faster updates (especially with the Google Edition ROMS)

* Super Customizable (S2 was great about a year ago, since then it has died off substantial as developers have moved onto other devices)

* A HUGE number of developers on the S4 (XDA and other forums)

* Bunch of new features - pedometer, thermometer, gyro, humidity monitor, eye tracking, air-view, etc etc etc (not going to list them all, because i don't have time)

CONS:

* nothing.... S4 is basically an S2 on steroids and 2 years more advanced hardware combined with brilliant software.

Basically comes down to:

1) can you afford the upgrade

2) do the PRO's features benefit you in anyway

3) am i able to handle, such amazing power and put it to a good use...

I've upgraded to Broadcom 3900 and although blue tooth audio still crackles its not as bad.. The headset works alot better with my SPV C500.. Any ideas or experiences :?:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Marqnet:
:? Ok after talking to my contact in GN Netcom we have come to the conclusion (seings as it works fine with my Motorolla V3 and Nokia 6810 and 6820 and Siemens SK65) that the issue lies with the Bluetooth stack on my 2s.I did explain about this that i had upgraded it to the newer version and i personally believe they have not totally replicated the way the Bluetooth in the xda2s behaves the same as a normal bluetooth enabled phones.

I believe that because it works fine on most of the Manufacturers phones and the XDA's of this world are low priority to get it right.. I still believe it will be fixed in future Bluetooth upgrades on the xda2s.. doh still think that even though the display and buttons work intermittently it is still worth having for the DSP
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Lawyer095:
The problem still exists!

I have Qrek 9090 and Jabra t800. Audio is very good and also on the good range.

BUT...

Main problem (even with Jabra 800 fix CAB file) is that I can't normaly answer the phone call. It takes about 5 or 6 times before I can reply the call. And also, it takes about 2 seconds before I can hear other side opponent.

I just wonder if you people have some kind of this problem. Any expirince. Could you please share with me some information.

I use Danghard rom 1.44 wit BT 3900.

Thanks a lot.

Nothing really helped. :evil:

Voicedialing? How?

I have a HS810, it works fine, but how do you have voicedialing with it?

well I too own a Bluetreck G2R and a lot of crackling sound I have upgraded my BT stack to 3900 and most of my callers only hear the crackling so I have to swap my call to the phone and talk or have to call them back

also how do u use Voice dailing on the bluetreck for my xda IIs ???

can some one help me ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] hdubli:
Hi..use search,,,still this is how to do a voice dialling:

1) Install MS Voice command and assign a Hardware button(any) to activate the software so that it an listen to our commands.

2) Now, just press the "Call answer" button of your BT.By doing so it will activate the sound on your 2s.Then press that harware button of Voice command and speak...

It works flawlessly
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spread_smiles:
Thanks

thank s

Ill def try going to Delhi, will return and sure thry Voice dial and re-install my BT stack to see if there is crackling sound still there

also how long can you try to distance your phone from the BT

I got one Jabra bt800

its superb and must say its a best one around with lots of features
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ncruz:
Eehheh and you call that voice dialing?

If i had to do all of that to voice dial i could also press the button on the device and talk the name to it. And that would be one click less than with your solution.

I think the idea of voice dial with bluetooth is to keep the phone in your pocket and do the talking via bluetooth only.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Lawyer095:
Re: Thanks

But can you tell me. Do you also have such problems with Jabra 800 as I have. The sound of BT and range is best. But what about time to answer the call. I press answer button hundred times to be able to speake with opponent.

Gentlemen,

After a week or so exploring this forum and experimenting with my Logitech bluetooth hands free I've got a feeling that the only possible solution for the moment is to prevent the BA from getting into the sleep mode. Use ScreenLock or Mort Saver instead.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Lawyer095:
Well, thank you.

But as I understood from different threads in forum this is one way.

But... I'll kill battery of PDA very quickly. Really don't think that it's a good idea.

People from Jabra told me that new firmware will come soon and will help to solve this problem.

So.. I think that it's not the fault of PDA or ROM... :?

Get the BT800 work better

I had the problem with my BT 800 and the MDA III, that I could not answer ponecalls at all from the headset. I contacted Jabra suport and they gave me a solution for it, it seems that the BT800 has to many data to transfer, which causes a problem. So what I did was to deactivate Vibration on the BT800 and to set the ringtone to the phone ringtone. The result was that I can answer phonecalls after pressing the button 5-6 times, which is annoying, but does not really take long and it takes around 1-2 seconds until the call is connected. So at least it works better now, I can live with it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Lawyer095:
Re: Get the BT800 work better

Yea, same here. But did they tell you something about new firmware and when it should be released?

Cause they told me that it will solve all problems with answering option in BT 800 :?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] scientist:
They just said, that they will put it on their website if a new firmware is released, no answer if there will be one.

Btw.: I now can answer the phonecalls on the headset with one time pushing the button after I set it on silent, no ringtone at all on the headset.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Lawyer095:
Well, really didn't help me. Tried to put it on silent mode but it took 3 times to push answer button to connect. :evil:

Hope that Jabra will keep their promise and will publish new firmware :?

As such, I am thinking to use odin to flash the stock rom, i am able to get into download mode using a jig.
