Wow. Thats really amazing. So how many hours of usage would you say you get? I get barely 7 hours out of my batteries. Also it takes a really long time to charge ...like 4 hours

Looking for a Clip Holster for the sprint galaxy s II, any thoughts on what I should get? I don't have extend bat or cover shield for the phone, so I basically only want a clip holder for it something very slim.

OMG! To what country?

"to what country"... my thoughts exactly.

I've had only good experiences going through VZW for a warranty replacement.

Im not sure what the problem is exactly, but if you are sure there is a hardware defect, be sure you let them know that:

1) You factory formatted your phone
2) The issue still persists without adding any new apps

Good luck!

USA ..I thought that was the default country here on DDF

Basically, the metal contacts where the battery connect with the phone got bent so it didn't always start up....

for the HTC EVO LTE? I had the HTC EVO 3D and I switched it for the Samsung s2 and the only thing I felt the HTC did better was with HTC Sense and the wifi radio was stronger...

Recenty I've been experiencing a unusual issue on my galaxy s2. Even though I unchecked the auto rotate option in settings it still is constantly rotating! Its not a software issue on my phone specific as I just wiped my phone.
Also, I figured out something which had been annoying me. If you want to save let's say an email address to the Swype library you could only save up to the @ b/c as soon as you type @ the previous letters disappear from the option to: 'add to dictionary'. But if you type the whole email then select the whole line and press the Swype key on the bottom left it pops up an option to save to dictionary. This might've been simple to others but I just thought to share.

anyone have experience with this model?
I have it a few months and the last week or so I am getting the email notification sound all day long even when there is no new mail
(just rang now as I'm writing this )
I do have some emails that have not been opened but till this week it only rang when new mail arrived and even if I wouldn't open it it did not keep on ringing

Have it for over a year. Works fine by me. I assume you played around with the settings.

Try shutting off notifications or switch peak times.

Great phone. Does more than i could ever need.

yossi4k · « **Reply #79 on:** July 22, 2012, 02:16:03 PM »

Try doing the factory data reset in privacy/settings. Just make sure to back everything up first as you will lose everything
