Which is why I am waiting to see the T-Mo version. Just have to check it out first before doing anything....and maybe check out what Apple has to offer as the GPS is so important to me and every other Samsung device I have had has had horrible GPS (Captivate and current Infuse). My iPhones were perfect when it came to GPS. If the new iPhone has at minimum a 4" screen I **might** once again consider it. Waiting another 10 days to check both out won't kill me.My Samsung Galaxy SII sucks because it's not 4.5" like the Sprint and T-Mobile versions.
because it has no LTE, the only reason I am not buying it todayJust preparing for the inevitable.
You'll have to start:Post a pic of YOUR SGS2.
You'll have to start:
"The ?Official? Post your AT&T GS2 G-Rated Pinups" thread for that.
Just installed Speed Test and Quadrant and they vanished
Went back to install them and the new Marketplace appeared, how odd....
Edit: Also having problems loading pages on the Marketplace as well...
Edit2: Connection timed out "RETRY?" for the 5th time
WHOA, serious problems
32kb down, 368kb up, 262ms latency WTF
Red spot in the center of photos WTF
--------------------------------------
Positives so far
3134 Quadrant
Awesome screen
Speed...
Check this out...
Notice the HSPA+ and 3 bars...
So how do you know if the speed if an issue with AT&T's stellar network or the actual phone? We all know bars frequently lie ...
My Samsung Infuse got 2.5mb down and 1mb up.
Gonna run to AT&T and get a new sim card, maybe that will do it..
Still the same crappy speeds, I wonder if it's the phone or a tower issue.....
Mine sucks because the video quality of Netflix, Hulu and YouTube suck compared to my iPhone 4. It also sucks because of the oversaturated colors. Reminds me of video streaming quality from 6-7 years ago.
You might want to return your phone then, because it sounds like you got a bad one. No such problems here. This screen is as good or better than the Iphone 4's retina display. Don't get me wrong I think the Retina display on the Iphone 4 is beautiful. but it takes nothing away from the Iphone 4 to say this is just as good, perhaps better because it is far larger.
Either that or Outdoor Visibility Mode is on. Check in the video settings while playing a video.
I'm going to turn this into an AT&T SUCKS because contrary to their spec sheet for the galaxy s, there was NO FM TUNER and NO STEREO HEADSET with my phone! It's not a game breaker for me but if you list something on the spec sheet you should at least include it with the device, or a note (such as in a disabled FM Tuner) saying the function will be available with a future update. Guess I have to root this phone after all, I was hoping I wouldn't need to but if I need an xda fix for the FM tuner then it's time to find a way to root.
The phone itself is great, I've had no issues. My only issue is that the battery life could be better. I haven't had some red tint in my camera photos like some other people mentioned, and the TouchWiz 4 is so much better than 3 in terms of performance. There's no severe lag when I start the phone up, even my 8GB MicroSD which took about 8 minutes to scan media files in my captivate takes only about 20 seconds on the GS2. I wish it had more of the older live wallpaper options of the captivate but it's no big deal.
Wait one more issue. The music app leans doesn't have enough bass, not even when I hook it up to my car. I have to turn on the Bass Enhancement option and then crank the bass up all the way in my car stereo to even get it to sound decent (And I'm not the type of guy to roll with loud bass thumps and annoying vibration noise every 30 feet either). But I suppose I can live with it since I normally use a flash drive anyway.
Yeah I was surprised at the no headphones myself. I was actually discussing with my Wife on the way home how there was almost nothing in the box other than the phone.
And on another totally stupid note, the box was crappy too. The Captivate box was a NICE box. So nice I put it away and it was ready for me when I sold my Captivate. The SGS II box is kind of cheap.
Are you using bluetooth or a wired connection? With my phone (epic), a wired connection gives me ZERO bass. It has to be bluetooth.
