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

[QUOTE=Xera;33955945]I seriously doubt that since they use the same exact battery tech as every phone manufacturer has used for years.[/QUOTE]

Well, that is usually what everyone said and I do believe there was some article or official information I think, I may be wrong though.

[Crimor]

ok got the lock screen working, now to find out why the hell the top part of the wallpaper is getting cut off, only in the go launcher.

[Robber]

[QUOTE=mankind_me;33955898]No, he means the batteries Samsung uses get better over time, that's how they work. I don't have the actual article/post/information that says this, but I know it has been said.[/QUOTE]
I can confirm this from personal experience.

On Verizon phones, I've noticed that you need a network data connection to download MMS (3G/4G/1X). If you're not connected to them, the download either fails or perpetually stalls.

[TehWhale]

What does 1X mean? I've seen it a few times

[David Tennant]

Is there any other phone I should consider other than the S2 and galaxy note? Nexus I sort of ruled out due to not expandable memory and the note looks more pleasing to me, just wondered if there's any other phones I should atleast look at.
I get paid tonight so will order before I go to bed.

[Crimor]

Fuck it, switched to ADW, seems better and doesn't fuck up the wallpaper, wish I could have the panning thing the stock android menu has for the wallpaper though.

[TippZ]

nah

beware of the notes battery life though, just ask the guys in here

Probably not gonna use them anyway, any important shit goes in the calendar, rest goes in my head.

[David Tennant]

I've been looking at reviews and they're saying it's no worse than the S2 after the burn in stage.
Plus I've been using a desire HD so it can really only get better given the desire HD's terrible battery life.

Just need to sell my desire HD now, peak condition, how £300 RRP, I reckon £150 is a bargain.

Problems on your side
Used TouchWiz Launcher, LauncherPro, LauncherPro Sense Mod, MIUI Launcher and ADW Launcher
Go Launcher was the easiest to set up

[QUOTE=dmillerw;33941828]Screens 3.2" correct? Any difficult to type on?[/QUOTE]

I have a 3 inch Sony Xperia Mini Pro, no difficulty typing on it (keyboard, on-screen keyboard) and I have pretty big thumbs. Also, the Mini Pro in Landscape mode keyboard size is roughly the equivilant to the Galaxy Note in Portrait Mode.

I compared it, with those dummy display phones :v:

did you just compare the xperia mini pro to the note

wow

[Crimor]

Is there any apps out yet that can show the mAh of the galaxy nexus? most of the ones I've tried can't.

One of the softkeys on my HTC Incredible 2 phone is getting a crack on it. Verizon will only let me get a refurbished phone as a replacement because it's after 30 days. Should I get one that may or may not have problems or just suck it up for another 2 years?

I've seen alot of mixed reviews about Verizon refurbished phones.

[404 Not Found]

just got my new SD card put in, phone sees it fine and it's got great speeds for a class 6 (11MB/s write and 20.7 read, from 2.9 and 8.9 on my class 2) but now when i plug it into my PC i don't have the option to transfer files.
