well first of all this phone was released in europe and it had the issues of freezing and text slow down. then released in the us with THE SAME PROBLEMS.
and where is the support? customer care doesnt have anything to say but search forums while they are on the phone with u!
i am tired of not being able to use my phone in important situations and restarting it everyday!
doesnt this sound familiar?? xbox 360 red ring of death!!!!!
what happened to them. they got sued by the customers!!!!!

Yeah its kinda the reason we're all here
Mine's always worked without problems.
No phone is completely satisfying, just try SPB Mobile shell with some custom skins, it's nicer then WinMo layout and is easier adjustable widgets etc.
Regarding restarting, I don't know what your problems are, I don't have any atm

Miri and dutty ROMs are stock like. PM me for a link ^^
I was very happy with my stock rom for months.... however after flashing I cannot deny the advantages of a custom rom.....
as for htc releasing a phone that "doesn't work" twice..... that's crazy talk, find me a product that's released completely bug free.....

Ok just as a for instance .....
Since this almost sounds like a "Hate on the HD2" thread, lets put that in perspective, the HD2 is the first of it's breed, never been a phone like it hardware wise ...
BUT Iphone OS4 was released, and I am going to post a sample, not all but enough of the BUGS in it, now these are just software bugs, and just a sample, of Confirmed BUGS ...
Code:
Installation
Installation issues on Windows machines (PCWorld)
Networking
Issues joining WPA2 protected networks (PCWorld)
Messages
Screen scrolls back and forth without user input during SMS/MMS sending
Keyboard covers portion of message body sometimes covering text while typing (especially after attaching an image)
Occasional failure to display navigation header, requires reboot to restore
Mail
Keyboard sometimes covers text while typing
In Gmail accounts, mail is archived and not deleted. No way to change to deletion instead
Sync
- backup fails in iTunes, saying iPhone has refused the request
Appearance
- Setting custom wallpapers can occasionally fail
iTunes
- Occassional failure to detect cellular network to launch store
Camera
-Considerable lag at launch
NOW this is the 4th version of this OS , on the pretty much the same hardware, and it still has bugs, where WinMo has to deal with thousands of diff hardware designs.
So , S??t happens. WinMo is not perfect, HTC is not perfect, Apple is not Perfect, Google is not perfect ...
BUT at least with WinMo you have Choices that you can try and decide what works best for you ...
ha ha! I asked for one that's bug FREE not infested....

Not gonna defend HTC because on stuff like this they suck , but they do make more than one model of phone, on more than one hardware platform , running more than one OS, **** happens ..
The only thing I can tell you , if you do not want to use the fixes in this community, such as patches and custom ROMs, and you are not happy with the HD2, go get you a bug free phone, Iphone, or whatever and be happy...
There are lots of people that would be happy to buy your HD2 from you I am sure ...

Who buys a phone running Windows Mobile anyways.. You want to blame someone, blame T-mobile for picking such a ****ty device to be on their line up.. I was a very loyal T-mobile customer until I realized that they weren't trying to be innovative at all with their phones any more.. bringing us the HD2 with Windows.. mytouch slide with a 600mhz processor.. garminphone with 1.6 Android.. seriously..

sms has never caused my phone to freeze and I certainly do not have to restart my phone everyday....
iphones may well get regular updates but that's just as much for apples benefit as it is for the benefit of the user.
theyve only just realized that their algorithm used to display signal strength isn't worth ****..... how many years has the iphone been out....
Ok guys Let it go long enough. No one is perfect and that includes HTC and MS.
I am closing this thread and no true answer will ever be determined and this will turn into a flame war.

I mean that in more than one way. First, the benefit of having a PDA is that you are more efficient. The PDA helps organize your life so that one is more productive.
I have been thinking about this, but I am actually LESS productive using my PDA. I have found that I spend too much time reading threads, learning how to write SDconfigs, flashing, etc.
However, I am hoping that with the release of the new radio, we might be do a little less flashing these days. Either way, I know that we are a niche market. Iphone users would gasp when they see how much time we spend tweaking our phones.
In conclusion, I guess it IS the ability to do whatever I want to my phone that makes me choose a pocket pc. I am just ranting because I realize how much time a lot of us spend tweaking our phones. I think we all have a little obsession.
*I thought about this post b/c my friend with an IPhone said, "what the hell do you keep on doing to your phone" when he saw me flash my phone a couple of times.
Exactly, I spent several hours trying to save a few minutes in the flashing process, in the end I'm just glad I know "how to" do the stuff.
He would be flashing like crazy too if cool stuff starting coming out for the iPhone frequently, which it doesn't.

Word, but come June, game is on for them. They will get push email service from microsoft's exchange servers....and whatever other programs come out from the SDK
lol. i have been thinking the same thing. i spend 3/4 of my day at work read, writing, hacking, flashing, ect. i was thinking of getting a blackberry just so i could get back to work. i'm afraid i am going to loose my job. lol.
This is all by choice, of course.
I would bet that 75%+ of all Titan users out there dont even know XDA Developers or PPCGeeks exist... much less have any iota that their phones are upgradeable with new ROM's, etc.
The average dumbphone phone user doesnt even know that manufacturers occassionally update the firmware of their phones from time to time (they probably dont even know what firmware is).
Smartphone users are generally a bit more technologically savvy, but even then, the percentage of us who tinker with our phones is by far in the minority.
Good point rajuabju. My name is Mike, and I'm a flashaholic.
Yeah it is pretty sad when you start asking your friends to flash their phones because they are running stock roms.
^^^^^codyppc Thats funny, but not really..... lol I get paid to SIT at work and wait for **** to break..... I don't mind now, cuz this dam phone keeps me so busy I have to tell my manager to wait a bit till I flash my phone again... LOL

HOLY Fawk. I did that for one of my friends. He was running 2.09, so I was like what are you doing? Granted, I flashed him 2.17, but that rom is stable enough for him. I didn't want to hassle with flashing a custom rom for him, in case he went to sprint or what not.

ABSOLUTELY.
This girl I know was going on and on and on about how totally awesome her Sprint Mogul was.
I pulled out my XV6800.
(a) She liked my cool blue color
(b) She doesnt understand how to load programs like Google Maps. I showed her and she was in shock.
(c) She thinks Rev 0 is just as good as Rev A because "its not like I watch porn like you do"
(d) She didnt know what Office Mobile was
I just had to walk away and shake my head.
But did you get her number in case you need to come by later and help her with firmware upgrades.
Yeah man yeah man......YEAH!!!!! I spend way too much time tweaking my phone. I remember I had one week where I changed roms 4 times!!! the first 2 times I reinstalled all my apps and setup my exchange server. I am much more organized with my PDA. But in many ways I am less productive...maybe less RE-Productive if you ask my wife!!1
Wow these stories are all to familiar. I get it from my wife constantly.
I'm actually a TMO/VZW/SN dealer. I've gotten 1 person to ditch their TMO Wing (and break their contract) and sign up for VZW, sold 2 XV6800's and a Mogul, all on the premise of being able to use the gps + rev A on the Titan.
I'm currently in the market for a new Android phone, as my current Blackberry Bold is about to die. Would you recommend the Galaxy S2? There's a few different phones out there (HTC Sensation for example), and the Google Nexus Prime at end of year. What do you guys recommend?

Well, you're gonna get a heavily biased answer, asking in the SGS2 forum, but I suspect you already know that. Sounds to me like you just want some reassurance, more than anything else
Get the SGS2 as soon as you can. You will love it!
I've heard of some issues with the SGS, a phone that I was planning to buy last year but had to spend my savings on a new laptop that died instead, so I wanted to make sure that the SGS2 is performing better than the SGS, and that no major problems have been reported (such as the GPS or similar). I've been unable to find any issues with the SGS2, thus why I'm asking if they'd recommend it .
Thanks for your input!

You'll obviously see people with issues on here, as this is a hub for people asking for help with issues. But you'll also find lots of people with no problems at all, like me. It's the fastest, smoothest Android experience I've ever had, and I really do recommend it.
I get a day of regular use out of the battery, or 2 days of minimal use (when it's basically just a phone). GPS and Wifi work perfectly for me, and I don't see any yellow tint on my screen.
Personally, I think it's one of the fastest selling pieces of tech ever made for a very good reason.

Thanks for your input! I realize the XDA forums is a place to go for issues, I see a lot of relatively little issues, not like, "THIS PHONE IS JUNK". I'm glad to hear that everything seems to be going so smoothly. I'm anxious to move to the Android Platform and get started in dev work (coming from a HTC Touch Pro (winmo, my friend conned me into it) and then a Blackberry Bold 9000 (a handmedown from my girlfriend after my touch pro died).)
Now I just gotta figure out if I want to be in a contract or not .

I had a Touch Diamond, a Touch HD and then a HD2, and being a Windows developer I thought it was great being able to port my current skills with very little effort. I am now started down the route of app development for Android though. If you've done any java then it'll be a breeze, and if you've done any C# then it's almost as easy. If you've done .Net then you'll get it as well. Android is definitely gonna be around for quite some time. Unfortunately the same can't be said for my old friend Windows Mobile.
Ah well
Its highly recommended by me, no question asked. Even it should be recommended in htc Sensation forum too

ditto......
If you clearly understand what you want out of the phone, you will not have a hard time deciding which phone you want to buy.
For me, the hardware spec of this phone fits almost all of my requirements, plus an active community in this forum, I can decide easily. And I'm very happy with this phone.

Hi,
is anybody working on porting HTC Sense to SG2 ?
I know there are threads on this issue with Samsung Galaxy S1 and Tab.
The SG2 is a good phone hardware wise (except for it totally over saturated colors on the display, and lack of led notification light), but it is directly user unfriendly software wise. (yes I have tried the NOLED software, but it drains the battery in notime, uninstalled!) - And making my living as a photographer with 3 hardware calibrated LCD screens, I can not recognize my pictures on the screen on the SG2, it may have good black-levels, but hello ??? The colors are WRONG on this phone!
After having used HTC Desire before, so many things are annoying me on
this SG2.
The list is so long with issues that I am considering writing up a bad-review for the
Samsung GS2 just to show how bad it is compared to HTC phones.
Just to mention a few issues:
- the stock keyboard on the SG2 is a joke! (yes I know there are 3rd partys and I am using one)- but the first you notice is you have to do a LOT of extra keystrokes to find and do what you want to do! (comma, special signs etc.)
- the call module, log etc is really really bad, HTC has collected them all in one window, on the SG2 you have to press a LOT to get what you want, and what moron decided to embed the text-messages in the call-log? you cannot remove the either! sick!
- pressing a missed call (once you find it WAY down the list, due to all the text messages above it), you get up another annoying option screen, why cant the damn phone just make the call back?? that's why you are there isn't it?
- the embedded modules/widgets on the HTC is unbeatable, like the brilliant friend widget which includes both a fb and a brilliant flickr broweser. There is not a single desent flickr program/browser on the market that can compare!
- I have tried just about every 3rd party launcher there is available, but they all are bad compared to HTC sense. currently using Launcher Pro Plus, which tries to emulate some of the features of the HTC sense UI, but doing it badly. annoyin message constantly about entering twitter preferences, the point is I dont have and dont need twitter!! AAARGH!!!
I am not a millionaire and I would prefer not having to buy a new phone and loose money on my over-rated SG2. But if porting HTC Sense to the SG2 is unlikely to happen I will take the loss.
For crying out loud, who buyes a smartphone based on reviews that run benchmarking software to test them? We need a phone to work smoothly and be user friendly, not win every possible benchmark!
And while I am writing this, the SG2 beeps telling me the battery is flat, AGAIN !!
I do not mean to ***** and complain, but I really think somebody should start working on the Sense port to Samsung. I hope somebody else sees my points.
Best reg,

My suggestion is go buy a sensation because It doesn't sound like you want to do the work to get what you want. Those who like the sense UI really like it and the SGII might not be the best fit for you.
As to who buys the phone based on reviews .... well you obviously and now you are all panty twisted because its not a HTC phone. One suggests you should have just gone for a HTC to start instead of buying a phone ... waiting out the return period and then coming here to whine.
What to you mean "do the work" ? I am not a programmer, that's why I am "whining" about it and asking if anybody knows if anybody is working on this.
And yes, it is stupid to get carried away when just about every reviewer gives the Samsung Galaxy S2 which has good hardware, full score due to running benchmarking programs. And I admit I was stupid. But I guess you get "carried away" and you are
thinking "all of them can't be wrong" !? - In this case I am tempted to say they actually
are, since the phone is not user friendly at all.
Nevertheless, I am certain the SG2 with Sense 3.0 would be the ultimate thing.
Best,
messus
I have used sense and I do not like it.
HTC fanboys are worse than Apple 's sometimes.
SGS S II is faster than sensation because that phone has sense on it.
It slows it down and if you have 100mb of free RAM you are lucky.
Believe me just flash miui and you are happy

All of the problems you listed can be rectified by third party software - much of which is free. In fact the sense UI lockscreen was just made available to all in the android hacking section as were several other parts of the OS. But searching is hard ....

Twoddle. People who develop on xda do it for their own fun and then they share. Developers are not at the beck and call of anyone who wants X to do Y.
Xda is about sharing information and tech - NOT issuing demands.
As for the OP, that was just a little too aggressive to be taken seriously, so I'm not surprised that he got flamed for it, but at least he seems to be getting some positive responses now.
Incidentally, this subject has been discussed many times and a simple search on the OP's part would have led them to other threads where this could have been discussed. Instead, they decided to ignore the forum rules and start a new thread.

Xda is not supposed to have this kind of fanboy activity, at least not when i joined.
defending touchwiz/samsung to the point where you tell others to sell their phones just to get sense ui is ridiculous. who are YOU to say sense should not be ported? I believe the developer has the right. why would you try to prevent interest in this rom?

Ever owned a TV, you can easily adjust the screen colours man.
And the only true hot thing about Sense 3.0 is the lockscreen, but you can get almost the exact same lockscreen with agile lock. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nanoha.SenseScreen_charge

YES! I can tell you I have been running MIUI ever since I started this thread!
And, I will NEVER go back to stock rom, or semi-stock modifed rom, THIS (MIUI) is how the Samsung Galaxy S2 should have been from the beginning! And all other android devices without HTC Sense for that matter. MIUI is a fantastic user interface, beautiful, smooth, practical, very well thought-through and USER FRIENDLY !!
Thank you MIUI ! If it was not for you I would have trashed this higly over-rated smartphone from Samsung!
Is it just me or is the Galaxy S2 a victim of its own popularity in the fact that it has so many moaners? I'm completely satisfied with my White GS2, autobrightness is a bit poor but that's not a big deal to me. I've owned a few Android phones,
HTC Tattoo.
HTC Desire.
ZTE Blade.
Motorola Defy.
HTC HD2 (with Android obviously)
Sony X10i.
This phone has been my best experience with an Android phone so far. I used to be a fan of Sense but i feel Touchwiz is BETTER! I think the main problem is the happy users (The majority!) don't feel the need to speak up about it whereas many unhappy users want to make their voice heard. There are people actually saying they HATE this phone on these forums...if that is the case why are they hanging around? Sell the phone and leave the forums
I guess when a device sells as well as the GS2 you do end up with a lot of users who bought the phone simply because it's the most popular currently and they haven't done their research prior to buying or upgrading.
That, and the age-old problem that people very very rarely make the effort just to say "My [insert item here] is awesome, that is all." They more often use the effort to moan.
I bloody love my SGS2, best phone I've ever had. Makes everything else look like a poor cousin, even to the point that I don't feel the need to root at the moment - I had to root my Desire not long after I had it to love it this much!
I had the (mis?)fortune to get a play around with an IPhone 4S the other day, and the SGS2 feels so far ahead it's not even funny anymore.
I had to root my Desire for one simple reason. More space for apps. A2SD!
Is it just me or is the Galaxy S2 a victim of its own popularity in the fact that it has so many moaners?

totally.
And far too many inexperienced user who dont know how to utilise the phone properly, refuse to read and educate themselves or look for the slightest error and go nuts with it
I think its also wanting to feel part of something (ie this forum/community)....so by posting threads it validates their time on this forum...pretty sad really
I think phones like this should come with a rating of some kind like movies do....
agreed with all the above, the phone is by far and away the best I've owned, had a x10i before which was good, arc and arc s didn't inspire me, Galaxy s2 blown me away to the point I don't really want to root/flash unless there is any real advantage to do it.....as asked in another post, looks like it's worth a flash to the latest stock rom which is what I'll do, at least I know I'll get the updates from sammy direct when released without having to wait for 02
Darkside i love that rating comment but what i love even more is your signature. That comment is pure gold.
kp it is definitely worth flashing an up to date stock rom without a doubt. Carrier updates are a joke for all devices.

Hehe, its a good 'un aint it!!
as soon as i read it i had to have it in my sig...
Sorry for the OT....
The way I see it there are 3 groups of people
1 - Those who have a faulty handset myself being 1 of them with WiFi issues, poor battery, low volume to name but a few.
2 - Those who don't have a faulty handset
3 - The fanboys who even if it was faulty they would never admit it.
Well those in group 1 need to return and get a replacement or a different phone. Those in group 3 need to wake up.
And let me add,
4. Those who really aren't that bright or lead a very pessimistic life
Is this a "Brit" only forum?
Just kidding, You guys are on target. The phone stock is GREAT and if you have a bug or two, well rooting and a few choice apps can make your phone even more awsum. Just taking the time to say that my Epic touch is GREAT!!!!
---Live long and prosper---
The SGSII is my first smartphone and obviously my first android phone too. I'm loving it and I don't have any issue to moan about (so far).
Great sig Darkside
I love my SGSII, that is all.

Pessimism is AWESOME!!! A pessimist is never disappointed!
The only reason I was starting to hate this phone was because I had to turn it in two times before I got one without a faulty display. It took almost a month.

Agree - I love this phone and the android community, but there are quite a few whining idiots around.
That said, we're still wayyyyyyyyyy better off than the iPhone 4S crowd. Lots of morons complaining there, and worse, they can't even do anything about it. iOS doesn't allow half the tweaks and hacks Android lets us do, especially if not jailbroken
Before buying a SGS2 I was using HTC Sensation, was infact very happy with sensation but suddenly decided to switch to SGS2 since everyone boasting about it.
as of now i am still very happy with the phone, especially the Screen and how fast the phone is... but there are some issue which i have found only on Samsung firmwares..
1). The lag in opening the contacts and dialer app (it feels like a 800 mhz phone, takes min 3-4 secs)
2). I also find lag in gallery app..
i have never found these lags on HTC phones, even on nexus one..
I have tried many roms on my SGS2 but no sucess
Only CM7 & CM9 roms have zero lag
above all these i am very disappointed with Samsung for still not releasing ICS, dont understand why there is so much delay..
they have made such a great piece of hardware but such pathetic software support.. we shell so much amount for these devices but look how Samsung treats its customers.. same happened with SGS1 also i believe
I have decided not to buy Samsung phones from now on.. it is better to go back to HTC
thumbs down to guys at Samsung !!

Cool story bro.
You may complain about the latency issues, but for the software update you can't say much since no other company has released ics updates except for tablets.
Still not releasing ICS? Please do tell me which phone other than Galaxy Nexus actually has the official ICS? Considering Galaxy nexus is a samsung phone, in a way, they did release a phone with ICS.
Edit: Also hilarious that you are whining on XDA considering there are tons of ICS roms already.
ywah true in a way, but when they have such a good hardware why cant they be quick, they took their own sweet time for GB on SGS1, we also know what happened to Samsung Wave.. even for 2.3.6 update for SGS2 Indian users was release just few weeks back
they have always delayed proper support for their phones
And you honestly think we give a flying **** what you think about Samsung phones & that you're never going to by one again, eh ?
Guess what ?
If you're that unhappy I'll give you €100 for your SGS2. As the eminently wise B3311 said, cool story bro.

If you really feel this way,then buy an LG, and enjoy the real delayed support.
I don't think anything is wrong with Samsung. I recently got my Epic 4g Touch from sprint and I've had two updates. My last phone on the other hand received 1 software update to 2.2.1 and all development was abandoned by the manufacturer and developers here on XDA had to pretty much beg for the source code.
In my opinion Samsung has created an amazing series of phones that will have a long life with development from Samsung and the developers here on XDA.

Go ahead and go back to HTC with the slower snapdragon. Its hilarious that even the new Rezound is slower than an almost year old SGS2

It's a problem on your side, not a general SGS2 problem. Just try a custom ROM like CheckROM, and disable all animations with Spare Parts. Your eyes will not be able to see how fast apps open.
SGS2 is the fastest piece of mobile hardware I've ever used, no doubt about it. It's much faster than my friends' HTCs.
About ICS, Samsung's competitors haven't released an ICS ROM either. This ICS thing is way overhyped anyway. It's not much more than a pretty skin over Gingerbread with a cool new launcher. Everytime I try out an ICS ROM, I come back to Gingerbread wondering what the fuss is all about.
Try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312240
It will make all your complaints go away.
You can put an ICS skin over it for the feel
ok will give this rom a try...
can i download spare parts from market ?

Don't be so goddamn lazy. Open the market and find out for yourself.
First you ***** about the phone for no reason, now you want spoonfeeding. Get a grip.
You have an issue.....Grab a tissue!!!!!

I can not believe the op have had this kind of braintorm going on in the head.
Dont get me wrong but all phone,s have got problems in its software/hardware. And believe me when ics is released its gonna have probs to. Thats why we have custom roms for are phone,s. But then again....the have problems to. So please deal with it in the hope we dont get more of these kind of threads and for the love of XDA search bar......use it. Respect to all and have a great sunday.
Greetz.

Patience is a virtue dude. Wait and you shall recieve. Samsung have released a number of regional updates since this phone has been released compared to some other manufacturers.
We will get ICS eventually, give them time.
If you don't like it sure the HTC forum will welcome you back with open arms.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the OP, or my post.
Nonetheless, this thread's pointless. He should've done some more research before throwing his money away.
The "problem" with Samsung is that they want to do it right, not quick.
The most recent ICS leak (which, in case you didn't catch it, is the current version/build of ICS Sammy is working on ATM) still has a few bugs and issues and they want to fix those first and make the ROM stable and bugfree before releasing it as an official update.
As already said, show us ONE other phone (esp. HTC, which are always way behind updates) that has an official, final ICS update already.
So, on the other hand: what is the problem with YOU?
