[Q] Some Help/Advice? - Galaxy S II General

Hi all
I've been on the HTC boat for a while now, and currently have the HTC Incredible-S
My contract is due for upgrade soon, and I was wondering .... Should I go for the HTC Sensation or the Samsung Galaxy-SII.
The reason I'm asking in this part of the forums is, that you all know the phone pretty well by now, and could give me an honest review/answer
The good points, the bad points of the phone?
Any help to decide would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

If you have to have Sense then no otherwise yes .
Multiple reviews all over the place .

Android on htc hd2?

Hi,
I have seen in other threads that there is the possibility to run Android on the htc hd for example. Is this also possible for the Leo? I am asking because I find the idea of having two OS on the hd2 pretty stunning. Not to forget that google navigation will probably not be available for winmob. Thx
Look around, there is a thread already about android on the HD2

A good replacement for my HD2???

I'm searching for the best replacement for my good old "Super" HD2.
I'm trying to decide between HTC Sensation or Samsung Galaxy S2.
Anyone can help me decide?
They are both very good phones and i'm thinking of trying the SGS2 because i have been a Big fan of HTC and Sence, but now I starting to get curious about SGS2.
Please give me some help decide.
Thanks
Hi,
Is this really the best place for such a question?
CLICK
Yes it is.
I already read alot about it on the net. But I'm searching for opinions of HD2 users, since the HD2 is a great phone (The best I had so far) but it's begining to become old.

Yes,but this is a development forum for people with HD2.
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1109
and on the galaxy forums.
People there HAVE the phones and can comment on them.
Ok, I got it.
I have post this on HD2/Android and I wanted to post on HD2 General.
Well I can't move my post, but if some moderator see this, please move it to the right forum.
I already saw that post that you mention, but as I said I wand the opinion of HD2 user

What you think about moving HTC HD Mini to low activity section!!?

I just want to say that this is ridiculous, and that his place is not here What you think guys?

they are humiliating out great device!!!
I didn't understand exactly, can you explain more?
what are we to do about it?
Maybe a joke or a mistake, In any case, do not like it at all! After all I thought XDA is related to the DEVOLOPMENT rather than making money on advertising...
WHY???
THIS is NOT a Legacy device(is just around a year old) and NOT a Low Activity Device also(Thanks to our developers who are working on porting Android) so what are the arguments for doing this???
THIS SUCKS!!!
Oh Dear!
What's going on in here? What is the news?
I didn't Understand, does this mean to stop the project?

It's just that we're all annoyed that the xda guys moved the htc hd mini forums to the legacy & low activity devices forum, which basically means that xda thinks hd mini is a 'legacy' device and has low activity.

I feel better on htc hd mini(Android) than htc desire....
Well the activity in WinMo section is realy low. I think the things will change when we have a new release of Android Port
It was not a good decision! I want it back it the previous section!

Thank you for explain benjanico!
And I'm sorry for thought about munjeni.
Well XDA admins, If you move HTC mini to Legacy Devices.. Than you should Move HTC Gratia & HTC Aria to Legacy Devices also. it's same Device!
And here Devs Friends are making HTC HD Mini even better than HTC Aria,Gratia!
pfff funny! It is a BIG THANK to all GUYS HERE who POSTED and WORKED here... thank you administrators? and moderators? you done a good job here
you have my vote for that!
munjeni said:

Better is to delete completely hd mini section instead of moving here! I think no sense posting here anymore

I agree that it is a shame that they put the HD Mini to the legacy forum.
But Munjeni, please behave yourself. We don't want this forum closed down. We have a small but dedicated user base (and devs ) here, and when Android is running stable on the Mini this will increase again, just wait.
You should keep in mind that XDA has a much broader focus than our HD Mini only. I can't blame them for making these choices, I don't agree, but yeah... they have to keep the forum cleaned up.
For the forum functionality it doesn't matter we are tagged as "legacy device", we can post and maybe one advantage is that newbies won't find us that quick...and thus less spam !
Keep up the positive spirit, and lets make Android a success together !
I agree with MobileMini
I don't give a F*CK in which section HTC HD Mini is placed by the admins. For god's sake put it in a sections called 'useless phones'.
I never visit the forum home page, only the direct (bookmark) to this forum. I like the dev's and Í'm glad there is a good atmosphere here in this section. Everyone cooperating again, people being (relatively) kind to answer already answered questions, etcetera.
Just keep on the good work!
Each of us has its own network and the people in it.I wrote a lot of links throughout the Internet to bring people here, such as Youtube, Facebook, Flickr ...
and I counted, that bloody beginners come here, and hoped perhaps experienced people as well ...
I feel cheated by xda developers through this decision.
I do not want to even think about the speed of the forum who has one billion ads a billion links to facebook (btw. WHO uses it?)
unfair guys but I believe too good group in which we have to get the most possible after this! sorry for my bad English
its just too soon

In my many years at XDA i have seen so many developers..move from one phone to another and thus moving from one thread to other.. and though they are on the very same site .. but still people do not get to see them and they are missed .. mccm.... Nice work posting those ROMs and keeping the HD2 updated ..

HTC sense 4.0 on galaxy s 2

Hi guys!
First let me say that i'm not whining but rather thinking at high voice and sharing my thoughts!
I seriously don't understand why people at SGS2 forums don't work on porting HTC sense 4.0 on this beast!
And please don't say "do it yourself" because if i knew how to do it i would have done it but i'm a civil engineer and have nothing in developing.
Imagine one of the best hardware with the best software!!!
I know sense has flaws but it's way better than Touchwiz or AOSP / AOKP / CM9 etc...
As i dare to ask that question I know you might say "hey what are you doing here then?! Go buy an HTC etc..." and will probably flame me!
But really i am very afraid of buying a HTC one X or One S coz i've been hearing and reading about the hardware flaws : signal losses, battery issues, screen issues, coating issues, sound issues etc...
The old good HTC is, unfortunately i say, gone! The good hardware build and quality of HTC desire or HD2 is gone! They are making a lot of mistakes in terms of hardware design!
Bottom line, can you try port HTC sense 4.0/ICS to our beloved S2?!?
And please don't tell me it can't be done because it is now being ported to Samsung nexus S and Samsung galaxy nexus!
If many agrees with me we can even start a bounty!
Thanks,
This is just a repeat of similar posts lasting nearly a year now . Seems either no interest or Devs are finding problems . Thats also a similar reply to last weeks .
Guess a big bounty may kick start it post me ten K and i will start .

Yeah but these guys are left alone and no experienced developers / coders are helping in the project! That's why the project is in Coma right now!
You try hacking closed source software to work on proprietary hardware that the software was never designed for... We then can talk about "Getting sense on this beast". The day I see sense on my SGS2 (Or SGS3, or SGS4) is the day I do the zulu dance buck naked in winter.

That is the answer the skilled guys for whatever reason are not interested and never have been .

Doubt it'll happen, cos general consensus is to do away with custom interfaces completely and even if given a choice most will have touchwiz which is less intrusive, than sense.
ports for galaxy nexus and nexus s are still very pre-alpha they barely boot and nothing usable about them. in my opinion this port will never happen and if it happened it will not be ready for daily use.

let me tell you why developers are not doing that............. its ******* impossible as our eyxnos chip does not support sense for that we need to recode/ remake the whole ui!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you see!! wait until htc releases an eyxnos featured phone...................
Shen has already done it for sense 3.5 so its not impossible... he just needs to figure out all the niggles and whatnots.

I have already posted a thread about the developers not being "actively" interesting in porting HTC sense UI to our beloved SGS II.
( For your interest : Just search SGS I and Nexus S forms and see what Qube2 and Swamp globin are doing )
Non of them even replied about what exact difficulties they might have !!
It's not " just a UI " it's UI with the best implementation of twitter, facebook, weather, email ,,,, etc.
Probably your post will be moved to Q/A subform where you will never get any chance that real developers would see it.
Again thanks for bringing this up again

I had galaxy s and htc sense port was great but s2 nah not supported by sense. There is only one hope that of htc releases a exyenos powered phone and sense ui will.be easily ported even if it is 4.0. I personally love sense ui if want sense theme and awsome stocks launchers check out this.
