doesn't look like it provides much protection at all, and no lay on the table protection is a deal breaker for me. still, i'd like to know what case it is too as i don't believe i've seen it anywhere.

Haha, I just posted the exact same thing on his YouTube comments. Great minds think alike!

Same one I have and is discussed here:
http://androidforums.com/accessories-evo-4g/98673-quest-tightest-thinnest-evo-case.html
Best case for the money bar none. And yes, it does protect lens on bottom and screen up top depending on how you lay it.

It's just a cheap red rubberized case I bought on eBay for $6. I use it around the house. Don't really trust it if there's any chance I'll be out and about. I use an Innocase II when I'm carrying it around out of the house.

It doesn't provide much protection. Honestly, IMHO, it's more for looks than anything. The top edges of the phone look cool with the red.

does this brain your battery? curious if it makes battery worse than out of the box

Jury's still out on battery. Overnight results were not encouraging. I usually drop < 10% with the radios off, last night I dropped 30%. I'm going to swap setCPU for oc widget and lower the off screen rate to see what happens during the day.
I may turn off overclocking and use stock freq setting because what I'm mostly after is the better fps. I don't really care about the benchmarking in practical use because I don't game on it.

what theme are u running too

nice vid.
i have that same case and LOVE it. Best $5 Ive ever spent.

Wow nice!
Loved how much smoother Nenamark and Neocore ran.
27fps is pretty good on Neocore.
Pardon me if I sound stupid... but is there anyway to overclock the GPU.
I think the Palm Pixi has the same Adreno GPU, but clocked higher at around 190mhz? I might be wrong...

I believe it's Toast's GodMode kernel you'll find it on this very forum. It's pretty sad that the developers on this site have done a better job on this phone than HTC themselves heck they recently released an official patch update that bricked a user's phone. That's worse than Apple's you're holding it wrong campaign. Where the hell is the QC with these new devices quality control has gone down the drain.

It's not really a theme, I just cobbled together a few things I like from various places.
- Wallpaper came from the DroidX chocmatic posted in the Theme Playground thread.
- Lock Bar is BlackBarLockScreen-signed (sorry, I forgot who made it). This also installs transparent Rosie.
- Clock is Godzson's Black Gloss.
I think that covers most of the visual elements. All of this stuff is downloadable from XDA.

So what's the best kernel to breaking FPS limit if having Epson screen? I'm currently using GoDmode

Oh Apple Fanboys...

So earlier today I was in math class and the kid next to me has an iphone 4. he starts bragging about his retina display (LOL) and how his graphics are so far ahead of the Vibrants. This is my question: The iphone has games with amazing graphics--and as far as I know, there are zero games on the android market that are as smooth and crisp looking. I know my display is better and I want to be able to show him so he can stop bragging to everyone on campus about how he has the best phone available. So do you guys know of any games that will show off the Vibrants glorious screen?

The Dungeon Defenders: First Wave game is built on the Unreal engine, the same one that makes some of those cool games on there. That's probably your best bet.

Dungeon Defenders or Raging Thunder 2.

Well angry birds shows much better on the vibrant. Nfs shift is a good one to.

Rocket Bunnies
and then you can tell him the developer will be porting it to iphone "soon"

Dungeon defenders is the only option really all the other good looking games are multi platform

Dungeon Defenders and GT Racing Academy (not in the market, you have to get it from Gamefly) are probably the 2 best looking games on my Vibrant.

uts
settings - display - auto rotate screen or just pull down status bar and its last thing on right for auto rotation 0_o? u got to be on 2.1 eclair if u dont have rotation buddy
lets make it clear u have the official samsung vibrant froyo rioght ?

if u are on 2.1 eclair your phone is only good as a mp3 player , dont even take it out in class room P

I'd stop worrying so much about what other people think and enjoy your phone.

LoL, and more so the entire purpose was to have specifications which can last throughout the year and compete with the HTC Sensation or any other HTC device released this year.

I read "newly designed" as "hasn't been in any previous device. Not that it is a chip completely different to the chips in the protoypes.

How do you run the stock android browser in full screen? Please do tell.
Thanks

You can't. In the settings of the GS it was disabled so you don't have access to that option so I bet it will be the same way for that beasty smartphone. Really not that much of a deal... and the top bar is always useful for the time and radio toggle and battery status etc

The screen is so huge that you will not need to have a true full screen experience. It will be more comfortable to have the Top bar or the Bottom Bar available while providing you a larger view of the website.

There's at least half a dozen 3rd party free browsers that are far more customisable. I personally use Dolphin HD because it allows me to configure everything I need.

This is what really really annoys me!!!

Why is it when there are any articles on the Xperia Play the comment sections are always full of "know it all's" that slag the device off without even trying it?
Take a look at Eurogamers new article for example then go down to the comments section - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-06-sony-ericsson-no-need-for-xperia-play-2
grrrrrrr

just a tip,1.6 GHZ is abit to hot.I've being using 1.4 and 1.5 and they work just as great
Also,ignore the comments,IRL if you show your hacked/Modded PLay their brains would go out the window
Atleast thats whats happened to me once i showed how fast it was,oh and gamepaddd

Lowering the voltages will have a better effect on battery than lowering the clock speed

can't blame them for wanting more power.but..
whats the good of dual core if you just use is to call and text people

Yeah, the nobs probably don't have one and are jealous because they signed a 4 year contract and still paid 400 for an iphone that is obsolete this month or next.

Problem its people look at specs and benchmarks and never do their own research, very annoying that people including supposedly respectable reviewers are too bothered about the silly specs!
IMO this phone is better than any I've tried, sensation, galaxy s2, desire hd and s none hold up to the gaming and general experience of the XP, just need more advocates like us!
Sony have done really well with the software and all the xda people make things loads better!

Ditto.
People using 'single core' as an argument against it automatically revoke any chance that their opinion is reputable. People who know what they're talking about know it has some blazing fast high-quality memory and acceleration that's great enough to keep it's performance right up there with the dual cores.
Samurai II on Xperia PLAY runs just as smoothly as it does on the Atrix.

Don't mind them.. I came from iPhone also, but nothing compares our phone for now.. I know deep inside of them they want this phone too, they just dont admit that they made a wrong decision by choosing their current phone over this..

I’m happy with it and that is all that matters to me.

Got a new SGS2 and noticed a few things

Hi guys,
I just sold my "old" SGS2 which I bought on the second or third week of launch of the international version and got a new one. Here are some of the things that I've noticed:
1. Red spot on white background picture while using the camera is GONE. I thought this was a software problem before but I guess it must have been hardware related. Flashed two different roms now including the stock one and still no red spot.
2. Yellow stain on the lower portion of the notification bar is gone. Color is even with no hint of the yellow stain that plagued earlier versions of the unit.
3. Color of the screen is noticeably darker. You wont be able to notice this most of the time but on apps like dialer one wherein the default background color is gray, you can really see a huge difference. Darker but not less brighter, I don't know how to describe it but you can really tell the difference.
4. Capacitive button lights are much dimmer. I tried them on different kernels and roms and they're still dimmer. Not a dealbreaker though.
Overall I am very pleased that Samsung quietly addressed these manufacturing issues
*edit* actually I'm not sure if I was just lucky or they really fixed it

Concerning the screen, you just got lucky. The yellow tint is still here on new batches. One thing I noticed however, is that the two new units I used, had no processor usage interference when headphones were used. Did they add proper shielding or was I lucky as well?

Actually I think I spoke a little too soon. Apparently the white's and the grays are my screen are a lil darker than usual and a little to the shade of purple. Some people have it as well. My white's are not as white as before but when i turn the brightness up it turns into a pretty good shade of white. But my grays are definitely more purple.
Oh well

Every sgs2 is unique, i like to think (so i don't get annoyed by it) that every sgs2 is a piece of hand-made craftsmanship.

Noticed the darker colours on my friends new SGS2 also. .

Thanks!

Pretty sure sammy havent fixed anything, as some one said ur lucky as am i lol. My phone has no screen issues. Just the usual getting hot problem, so i dropped cpu to 1000mhz and undervolted, much better. If the new GS3 has a quad core processor it will be a sweet portable heater. ;-)
