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

[QUOTE=garrynohome;30891742] I don't even own the S2. Sorry if pointing out facts is disallowed by you, but the S2 is miles ahead of the Sensation. [editline]4th July 2011[/editline] [/QUOTE] I'm not saying the SII isn't better as I haven't used one, but I think it's important to "live" with the phone and best on paper =/= best phone for you. And It's kind of annoying that whenever someone mentions getting a phone everybody goes "OMG GET galaxy s2 it's the best!!!11". Almost as annoying as everyone I know saying that the iPhone 4 is the best. Plus [url=http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/04/15/rooting-explained-top-5-benefits-of-rooting-your-android-phone/]this guide[/url] seems pretty good for people new to this like me

How do I install new bootanimations? Must you have a custom rom? Also, I heard there is a list of the number of times you root your phone/flash roms. Is that true? Its a way for carriers to check right?

We all know that you masturbate to an S2 shrine, but not everyone has one. Believe it or not, there are other phones out there worth using.

[editline]5th July 2011[/editline] Currently using widget locker, and trying to make my lockscreen minimalistic. Anyone here know any good Battery widget that goes with it? And a messaging and phone icon with missed messages/calls that I can place on the lockscreen? [editline]5th July 2011[/editline] [img] http://filesmelt.com/dl/snap20110705_002852.png[/img]

Do you guys know how to "migrate" paid apps from one google account to another? I really want to get rid of my old account.

You can't, as far as I know.

Well, that sucks.

Try emailing them, maybe they'll give you an exception.

Look what I found [img]http://gyazo.com/b1a3a4ddd10b2bfe364f2a32389839fb.png[/img] Maybe a decent way to take screenshots. I hate the screenshot app that everyone uses, I want a button combination to take a picture, not a delay or some stupid shaking crap I never get to work.

Believe it or not, there are other phones out there worth using.[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem[/url] Useful stuff. I never EVER claimed the S2 was the only device worth using. But if someone asks what's the best device it wins in pretty much every category. I was just at Bell playing with the Sensation and it's a solid device, it releases tomorrow. It feels good in the hand and the curves on the glass are a great addition. And the UI is beautiful. But on the hardware front it loses, and in my opinion that's an issue as the UI seemed sluggish and animations had occasional lag. Thanks for taking the mature route and resorting to insults instead of trying to present a well thought out counter argument.

[QUOTE=Robber;30898900]I thought CM had this for ages? :confused:[/QUOTE] Not sure what that is. Description: Touch-to-focus is implemented on supported cameras. Does not work in camcorder mode yet (framework code is needed to support this).

[QUOTE=nikomo;30899296]Not sure what that is. Description: Touch-to-focus is implemented on supported cameras. Does not work in camcorder mode yet (framework code is needed to support this).[/QUOTE] So you touch somewhere on the screen and the camera focuses on whatever you touched. So say I spin around and point at a can of coke. If I touch the can of coke displayed on the screen then the camera will focus on that.

Aye, that's what I'm thinking of too.

I played with a Sensation and SGS II today. Officially they don't exist though, and unless you know a rep at the store you won't be touching the SGS II. I think they'll let people use the sensation though as it comes out tomorrow.

Well I guess I just joined the SGS 2 club.

Does that mean you called retentions/CS and asked for it?
