The perfect phone?

Here's a short post to tell y'all that I believe I have found the perfect phone. Its name is the Galaxy S II...
I've owned it since the first day my French carrier released it in June.
Like all of us, I've tweaked it in any conceivable way and tried quite a few exotic things (including pre-pre alpha ics builds) and now, I feel I don't really need to tweak it anymore because my combo feels just about perfect:
Revolution Rom 4 + Siyah kernel 2.4.2 + newly updated adw launcher ex with neon theme.
Fast, reliable, perfect.
Thank you for your attention. You may resume normal activity.

Same setup here, it's extremely snappy. I prefer Launcher Pro I find it smoother, but yeah that's a great setup.
Make sure you get the second version of 2.4.2 which includes sched_mc=1 which saves battery, I find it smoother too.

I've only had mine a couple weeks but love it. Fast and smooth with a fantastic screen.

Nothing is perfect.

Agree that no phone is perfect. You should say this is the best phone you have ever used instead. I was going to try same setup as you do and now I'm convinced.

It would be great IF it had a better audio chip. That is my only knock against it. The music quality is very poor even with my good earbuds. Bummer...

The perfect phone is one that elates me to planes equivalent to where vegetable matter would take me. Other than that, the sgs 2 is close.

Nothing is perfect but some things are closer to perfection than others, the sgs2 being one of them.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Just can't find anything more to tweak it, until ICS comes out.
Might get so bored that I get an iPhone 4S... nah, no way

SII is not perfect, but close enough.
I have an iphone 4, but still s2 rocks!!!

did u guys try MiUi by any chance ????????? its just awsome.
after i flashed miui i can't think of another way to make this phone even more perfect (except flashing miui 4.0 which is coming soon)

The perfect ultimate phone will have a feature that allows you to have 2 SIM cards which simultaneously work, this will probably be a long time coming but im sure it will happen, how cool would it be to have just 1 phone (i have 2 mobiles a SGSII and a Samsung Tocco - 1 Irish SIM and 1 UK SIM) where you can make a receive calls and use all the features, or just switch one off and have the other one on,etc,etc i do know there are dual SIM adapters but as far as im aware this doesn't allow you to have both SIM cards on at the same time you need to switch from one to the next.

MIUI ROM's for me is more style over substance, im not saying it's not good but there are far better ROM's out there.

It's not even perfect yet. ICS has yet to come out both unofficially and officially.
Still, the audio chip is still ****. No big deal anyway, I've learned to bear with it.

The perfect phone is different for everyone. But I agree with ccl. That combo is pretty damn close for me. I also undervolted mine btw and clocked up to 1400. Same battery time as before. Even better performance.

why not the one s? i'm seriously considering moving/upgrading to the one s because i'm tired of people saying that my phone is "thick" and "heavy", so the one s is perfect for me

The thing about the one s, in the UK its REALLY expensive because it just came out, and doesn't have a micro sd slot... And id want a good battery, I've heard wonders about the note and the razr maxx!

not persuaded from this review, they are mostly problems that can be solved by working some minutes on the phone...
IMO it's (one of) the best android phones out now. One X and tegra 3 doesn't appeal me... Samsung and LG are the worst brands imo...
Have a look at my optimus one... You may even notice some, just a bit, dust under the screen... this after one month...

I'm also considering the HTC One S... but I will not be purchasing the grey/blue accent version. I've heard that the One S might be released in black/red accents later, likely related to the chipping that occurred to the international version with this MAO treatment. If anyone has any real news regarding the release of this version on US T-Mobile, please post here or start a thread... I follow TmoNews.com, but haven't read anything definitive yet.

Great read; only thing I missed was your reaction to the speed boost vs G2? What is your impression?

Thank you for mentioning that HTC should not name their web browser "Internet". Pet peeve of mine! There is an AOKP setting (I think it's AOKP?) that lets you use the volume up/down key when you have the IME keyboard out to move back/forward over the text input line. When that comes to your One S it should help ease backing up a few characters since you now lack a trackpad.
Your review speaks similarly to what mine would, I'm sure. Some of the reasons you speak of (and obviously, no QWERTY) are the reasons I am not buying one of these new flagship phones. IF there is a QWERTY and it completely blows or is locked down then I'll be considering moving to a non-qwerty phone, but let's be realistic here. New hardware and thinness do not matter. Those aren't new features, they're expected with new devices and aren't something that will add sway to me purchasing the device.
I think the SIII is pretty hideous, personally, and while I have a Samsung TV, I'm not the biggest fan of their mobile device build quality. That said, some of the features in the SIII are pretty badass. I dunno if I'd enable that feature that creepily detects my eyes, but I do dig the wireless charging amongst other things.
People are so blown away by the One S/X when they don't seem to realize that all new [flagship] devices coming out this year will have similar hardware.. so if that's the case, then why not wait a few months and see what else is announced? I guess I'm just old fashioned and tend to wait to see what the user reaction is to new devices, as well as the user/dev community, etc. Because those things matter!

Its so nice when your phone is dying and it takes only a few second to change the battery and go.
In school, I hate people saying "oh, dont play with my iphone too much, I need battery for the ride home".

Anyone thinking returning?

I have so much expectation on this coming Galaxy S3, and I wonder how many people think it has met your satisfaction. Anyone thinking returning?

Nope, it's all I had hoped for ans more. Good luck finding a good deal

There is no reason for me to return this device. I've been an Android fan since the T-Mobile G1 came out and this is the first phone that I could see as being a true "iPhone killer". This phone is win.

no lol this is the best phone on the market right now

you can return to me , dont mind another sgs3 :laugh:

Would never return mine lol. Totally met expectations. All it needs to be a near perfect phone is better low light camera quality.

Did you even use your S3? xda is no "herp derp imma post anythin' that comes to ma mind" forum!

XDA is a forum, and in the General Questions section it actually is a "I'ma post anything that comes to mind," as long as it's a question that pertains to category (in this case Samsung Galaxy S3). It's a great question that cuts through initial hype of the phone and asks users if after using it for a bit it still holds up to all that hype.
Again, the S3 is fantastic.

Agreed. Thus thread helped me decide to pre order one. So thank you for posting it.

Lol, the buttons certainly are... different... But the phone itself is a powerhouse. I've used the T-Mobile G1, the T-Mobile myTouch, the myTouch Slide, the Galaxy S, the Galaxy SII, the HTC Sensation 4G, and the Droid. This phone beats every other Android phone I've used, hands down. It's phenomenal.

bump ^^this is a great question, i find more often then not that things tend to have an allure from the outside looking in that just isn't the same once you are on the inside, but people tend to hide their disappointment from the masses due to the fact that they spent the last 2 months harping on about it's awesomeness.

You definitely have to get used to them. I'd suggest finding a friend that has one and play around with it for ten minutes or so. If it's still not to your liking then wait for another powerhouse phone to come out (there should be a few more this year) and hopefully that'll be what you're looking for. If you're able to get used to the buttons it really is a magnificent looking device. Good luck either way.

Here are some battery stats from my first day. I hope they get better. This is with all radios on syncing everything.

People ask questions in the general forum all the time. The only way I've been able to draw a distinction is the Q&A questions are almost always matter-of-fact. You ask "How do you do..." or "Does this phone have..." etc. I don't know if that's the way things are supposed to be, but its a trend I've noticed.
My GS3, never! The screen is great, the phone is responsive. TouchWiz, while maybe not as good as stock (though to be honest I actually think its launcher is nicer than stock; messaging etc. definitely not) brings lots of useful extra features. And best of all, I can use it for AGGGGGGES.
Regarding the buttons, I like the reassurance of having the buttons off-screen. The home button can be felt, and just tapping above the bottom edges of the phone will register as the other two, so you don't have to look down to make sure you don't miss.

nah i love my s3 and especially after using the s2 and smashing the screen i was using a $20 phone waiting for the s3 to come out and its all i hoped for.

Samsung's mobile data sucks

Ive owned several samsung models including the i9100,i777 and i9300.
Mobile data sucks compared to my 4s. Where i get 3g on iphone i get edge on s3.
The most annoying thing sometimes you have full signal, open a website and there is like a 15 second hang. Tried different modems, fast dormancy settings and nothing seems to work. Its very annoying tbh.

What the? I get the complete opposite! 4S on Vodafone UK along with most of the iPhones before it (3GS fared better) have given me some of the worst data and signal reliability I've ever experienced. Nokia's still the champ, though the S3's holding up well so far too.

My wife and i also get this in the UK, on two different networks. I've only experienced this on the S3, not the Note, Tab or S2 though.
I hope for a fix soon.

Really strange since I experienced the opposite when I upgrade from S2 to S3. Used to get like 1-1.5 down and 0.1 up, now I get like 2+ down and .5 up.
For reference: 1010 HK
Rom: WanamLite v 1.4

My results may not be relevant being from Australia but I was getting about 4-5Mbs with my HTC sensation and coming to the S3 i'm averaging 5.5-7.5Mbs. Still not as great as my work colleagues Galaxy Nexus who almost always pulls 1Mbs more when doing a speed test at the same time.

Please verify if both mobile phones are connected to the same antenna.
The S3 is blazing fast (compared to iPhones), however I've had the same issue as you.
The reason was that my provider kept (and still keeps trying) to push APN settings with a stupid HTTP-proxy which is completely overloaded and half of the time breaks the connection anyway.
Just remove the proxy IP (if any) from the APN settings, verify it's gone and try again.
If you have an account to paid VPN, you can also try this as it should give the same accelerated speed.

Yeah carrier tries to push settings on this phone.
I find this very annoying, ehere can i check what you say?

As far as carriers go, you get what you pay for. Get a cheaper carrier, most likely you'll notice it.

Broke my phone in 2 pieces - time for something new. Suggestions?

I have an available upgrade right now, what should I be looking at? I was thinking about the Samsung Galaxy III. I broke my phone in two pieces so kind of in a time crunch to get something fast.
Thanks!

Well depends on your personal preference. Since you already have the OG EVO I would recommend the new EvoLTE. Great all around phone & a major upgrade from your deceased phone. The GSIII is also a great phone with almost identical specs & performance. Most of the disagreements comes down to personal preferences like Sense vs TouchWiz or LCD2 vs AMOLED. Both are excellent phones and you really can't go wrong with either.

YAAAA thats what I'm talking about... I mean ohh sorry bro. How the hell did that happen. I love how the back cover is just chilling there with no marks. I mainly work with HTC's I'm not sure how you get out the internal SD on the GNEX but it shouldn't be hard. Wish I could help you out more. Though I am currently bidding on a broken GNEX on ebay. So hopefully soon I will know all the hardware in and outs of it.

I'm back to my Thunderbolt but so pissed that theres no ICS roms! WTF! Grrrrrr
JB is already out and it rocks... I guess I'll just get an S3......
