Gotta wonder if the AT&T battery cover will fit on the I9100. I kind of dig the big, bold SGS2 logo.
haha.
Samsung NEED THIS, if they expecting this to do good in America after the MONTHS of delays. I'm just glad they're taking it seriously and really putting the effort and money in!
Should begin to knock the iPhone off its perch.
(okay, we know that's not ever going to happen) but it's good to see, that at least, they're trying.
it jitters in my chrome but fine in firefox
ive seen such websites before, its pretty cool visually, that said its annoying when you're looking for actual info ^^

Quite typical of the Apple funded Engadget
Its a useless review... read pocketnow.com 's review inside.
What makes their review useless?....I was happy to read it, and i have read all the other reviews out there. I dont think they said anything that the other reviews hadnt touched on. Even posts here on this site have pointed out similar issues and had similar complaints.

It hurts some when reviews don't paint the phone you've just bought as the BEST THING EVER.
Don't worry, they'll get over it.
Accually I think it is one of the better reviews. I like how it feels like they are the only ones who have really used the phone for quite some time, since they can point out the bugs and freezes, which imo is the biggest flaw of the phone.
I agree. the occasional freeze is driving me nuts. I can’t get the phone to last more than 24 hours without a soft reset and I hardly have any apps installed.
I was going to buy nokia n900, but after I read that in the morning, I changed my mind. Now I am holding HTC HD2 in my hand. It is so big (in a good way).

thats unfortunate. I have the phone for more than a week and there wasn't a single freeze, although I installed quite a lot of 3rd party apps ...
I have not seen one single freeze. This is one happy HD2 owner .
For those who dont have any freeze issues, which ROM versions are you running? WWE or?
Have you installed .NET3.5 on your device?
I am thinking it might be related to .NET3.5.
WWE and .NET 3.5 since day 1. not a single freeze ...
engadget simply sucks! they can buy iphone and...rest in peace!
Haven't really experienced any freezes but .Net 3.5 seems to make it a little less responsive than .Net 2.0. No biggie though.

Actually they are a great informative site....Even pocketnow said the phone freezes..so whats the problem?
No freezes here, no .NET 3.5 installed either, the occasional stutter when unlocking the phone and it decides to update weather/email etc at the same time.

no problem for me...but due the hd2 never freezes in my hand...i doubt the it really freezes in their. it's [email protected] fast and stable! maybe it just lagged in heavy rom tests, with 30 apps opened and they use this behaviour as a trojan horse. readin the reviews it seems it is a not-responsive device.
i saw serveral times different iphones crashes, but i don't use to say it's a slow and bugged device, because it's not!
Also its bull**** about the flash part, I can run embeded youtube videos perfectly on the HD2 due to the 1ghz and large memory!!
it's very strange and absurde! somebody (htc) works to improve every OS it can as best as it's possible, and somebody (engadget) pushes to discontinue this job. wot engadget really wants?
alexleon -> Your fanboyism is making me sick... Engadget made a really good and honest review and I would be lying if I didn't agree on the fact that HD2 is VERY buggy with a lot of slowdowns and malfunctions. I have to softreset mine AT LEAST once a day to keep it running like it is suppost to run and I often get stuck at the lock screen and get hiccups in the UI... I havn't installed anything but skype and .NET 3.5 and I always clean my taskmanager.
DMAND - maybe so, but it can't run videoes directly from youtube.com =/

actually...it can run Youtube directly in IE.
Is there anything that will take care of that sudden jerk when you start to scroll in the browser? It's very annoying. It's been improved over the stock ROM using other ROMs, but it's still there. When you start to scroll...it snaps/jerks before getting smooth. Yeah, yeah...I know...we have a SNAPdragon processor... LOL...but hope you know what I mean. Seems to only be happening in the browser, stock/dolphin.
Mine seems very smooth in Dolphin, Im not sure what youre refering to exactly. Is there a video or anything that shows what you mean?
mines smooth as can be as well.
Mines smooth with no snap at first...
Agree with the above people. Can you post a video? Mine's just fine.
Only video camera I currently have is on the Nexus. Sorry. But, you really only notice it, I guess, when you do a slight scroll. It's very minute, but...ah...must just be an OCD of mine.
I think I know what you mean. You scroll and its late to react so it jumps ahead. This is something I only noticed after using another device ( that I wont address by name because it hurts peoples feelings around here )which scrolls a lot smoother. And its not just the browser its all scrolling. But again, if I hadn't used the "other" phone first I wouldn't even notice it.
If you are comparing to the iPhone, this is just because the Android browser isn't optimized as much. It has the GPU power to do it, but you can have a computer chiptset in there and it won't run smooth unless the software is further optimized which I'm sure Android is working on...or hope...

Man...hope they get it done soon! Or, hope a dev is working on something to get it to 100% perfection...or at least 99%....I think it's at about 96-97 right now. LoL
Yep, the iPhone has much smoother scrolling(there, i said it.), i did a direct comparison in google maps between the n1 and my dad's old ipod touch. The touch movement is far smoother and feels more real, as real as a scrolling image on a screen can be i suppose.

Yeah I agree, android is young but google will take care of the shortcomings. Just have to be patient
I can't believe anyone even noticed this!
I've had my nexus one for near 2 months now (and an iphone before that), and I've never noticed this 'problem' until I looked carefully after reading this thread!

Oops...Sorry!
I have it on Bionix-V 1.2.1 and it is acting a bit 'squirrely' Anyone else try it yet?
All my friends are on wordfeud, I don't associate with apple users. lol
Seriously I'll go try it out, I do have a few iphone user friends still that haven't seen the light.
I'm seeing complaints about it being buggy on a bunch of different forums. Then again, what did people really expect from Zynga?
So yeah, make your iPhone friends wait until Word Feud is out for iOS
Wordfued better then wordsmith?

Is it just my Vibrant, or is the game not sharp when zoomed out? The scored numbers are pretty blurry and not as sharp as on other phones I've seen. When I zoom in they look fine. Anyone else noticing thing?

Looks perfect here. Have you messed with your LCD density value?
not sure how i can do that...i'm running the bionix v 1.2.1 rom. do you think that could be causing a problem?
Lots of force closes.
Clunky, ugly interface.
Notifications spotty at best.
No option to disable sounds so it makes childish noises whenever you open a game or play a words.
Not a spot on Wordfeud, but I do have a lot of iphone friends.
**sigh**
So far I have played maybe 3 games to completion and during that period experienced 8 FC's (thats just really poor coding if you ask me)
The interface is "meh" the lack of a pinch to zoom really feels awkward.
Looking beyond the poor execution, at its core it is a fun game to play with friends just could use quite a bit of improvement.
I'm on Bionix-V 1.2 and WWF looks and plays pretty badly (FC's, board looks janky zoomed out, chat's slow, some games show "their move" when it's really my move, etc). However, like beren28, I have a lot of friends who are iPhone users, so I guess I'm stuck waiting for an update.
ya opiomorph, that's exactly what i'm talking about. i switched roms too, and it still looks crappy zoomed out (compared to how it looks on an htc incredible). Mine also force closes alot.
Tried app on Stock 2.2 and it works fine (i.e. no FCs here). Any problems you're experiencing might not be the apps fault. However, I uninstalled the app because it insists on showing ads "full-screen" after every turn. Anything is better than that.

Hey chatch, just a friendly suggestion. You should go out and buy a camera leg stand. Will cost about $5. I used to make my vids while holding my camera, too. Then I discovered the leg stand.
Not bad.
The browser is impressively fast. I assumed GB's was slow because it's tethered.
Browser seems vastly improved. Is there still typing lag?
wow... So glad you decided to switch hands on the second video! Is hardware acceleration there? Or is the browser just that fast?
idk man the subject says i'm a noob. i'm already back on honeycomb. got prime to boot
it is fast as hell though. i can't wait till asus releases the real update so the devs can have at it.
but yes i think it does have hardware accel although flash is broken
I notice browser links highlight now when you press them. I just wanted to make sure, currently on Honeycomb, do browser links highlight for you guys when you press them? This drives me insane that they do not on my tablet.
not in the stock browser. in opera they do
It looks impressively smoth... WOW. Isto liked the small detail of the camera on the lock screen?
how does this work should i flash it?
Hey chatch the browser does look good, and quite an improvement. I usually use stock or Opera. Opera sometimes is slower to load pages, in ICS should I expect to see an improvement in Opera?
Thanks
Bit of a review...
From a Chinese android site

sent from yet another MikG HTC Evo
I'm glad they improved the stock browser. It's one of my more favorite stock browser's out there.
This is my first post and the thing i am sharing here today is not something very great or useful. Just found it so thought i'd share with the forum..
If you bring down all the tabs in chrome and pull the screen tabs screen up 3-4 times ot does a swivel.. Kind of like a backflip. Neat!
Told you. Dont keep high expectations.
