Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade. - Hardware & Software

Well, I've found out what went wrong with that charger. [IMG]http://puu.sh/8r3z[/IMG] Blame the dirt cheap hokey kokey and cabuchi chinese components in it (specificaly the burnt resistor).

nothing wrong with the chinese parts, probably just a faulty resistor

There is no smoke without fire. Obviously there is some truth to cheap chinese electronics apparent lacking quality.

then all electronics lack quality :v:

probably because its where most electronic parts are made, so theres more products failing? i dunno

[QUOTE=Marbalo;33218280]Considering the OP was made almost half a year ago, is the ZTE Blade still a decent choice? I have a pretty tight budget.[/QUOTE] It still is a good choice, you should try going for the ZTE Skate from what I heard. Also a good tip would be to actually tell us the budget.

[QUOTE=Marbalo;33218396]Im thinking no more than 350-400$.[/QUOTE] Nexus S

[QUOTE=Robber;33218449]Nexus S[/QUOTE]That's $600 without a contract

[QUOTE=TehWhale;33218480]That's $600 without a contract[/QUOTE] Holy flying fuck! Why?! I already mentioned this at least a 100 times but there has been a huge price drop and it's only 270-320$ everywhere I checked since about 1-2 months ago.

Well, then either import it or wait. (or get a ZTE)

Damn, I really don't like how Adobe killed Flash for Android... There's still too much stuff that's Flash only...

Youtube runs like ass on HTML5 too.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;33219384]Damn, I really don't like how Adobe killed Flash for Android... There's still too much stuff that's Flash only...[/QUOTE] I use Flash on my SGSII nearly every day and haven't had any problems yet. I don't get why they just kill it off while it's still being used this much.

A lot of videos are missing, and videos do not get buffered at all on my phone.

ok guys so i am a fucking dumbass and now my sgs2 is broken.. the screen is like ruined from behind, how i cannot use the screen itself, but is there a way i can retrieve data from the internal memory?

Will an i9100 case fit an i777?

[QUOTE=Ins4ne;33226046]Will an i9100 case fit an i777?[/QUOTE] It depends upon whether the case is a hardshell case with no give, because the i777 is a bit thicker for NFC. Silicone/soft cases should be okay, but it might not look quite right. [editline]10th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=psp401.com;33226555]Can you ADB into it to pull files off?[/QUOTE] Yeah, basically just use ADB and get it to dump your internal SD.

I need some ideally free game which would really test the hardware capabilities of SGSII. The best idea I had so far is getting some PS1 emulator, but I have yet to root it. Any other idea?

My screen is ruined, i cannot even use it to allow it to connect to a computer..

So when is the Sprint Epic 4G Touch getting ICS?

Anyone else planning on getting the Asus Transformer Prime?
