Gooooooood bye!
Got to agree that the DHD and its community is amazing!
After you've used the SGSII for a bit could you post a review comparing it with the DHD; what's better, what's worse, etc?

Couldn't agree more, I ain't changing this phone until mid next year, lot's of action here
How can you trade sense in for Touchwiz? Touchwiz looks too much like ios to me...but still, the Samsung is quite nice

Me too mate. With G1 getting the ICS I have high hopes that it will be great on DHD. So i'll able to squeeze out another 6 months from the device.
And maybe next year lay my hands on a quad core
Good luck to the OP. He's got a hell of a device.
I've only recently joined, progressed from a year with a Desire. That too an awesome phone.
My wife also has DHD after a iphone 3gs (cough) and immediately I have rooted both, s-off eng and both using custom ROM's with the easy guides and excellent feedback/support found on here. It nice to see equally friendly people on here as well as the Desire forum.
There is still loads of life in this phone for me and the quality of the handset is also superb!
Not only a goodbye to people leaving but a massive thanks to the devs for staying and dedicating time and effort into making superb releases. Donations are on the way shortly.

I'm also moving on from a DHD to a GS2 and starting to make the change from one section of this community to the other and I will definately miss my HTC...
----waiting for htc ville------
Sg2 is huge,although my wife has the s and its a pretty awesome phone
And yes i did root it,more awkward than htc in general though

So how's SGS2? Is the upgrade worth it?

nope, unfortunately it doesn't because you can say that SGII is theoratically 15% faster than DHD (DHD with custom rom and OC to 1.3ghz ish).

A valid factor ...but only if you're looking to upgrade solely for the increased CPU clock speed/performance etc.
But me guesses an individual will be looking at multiple key factors to deem whether the phone upgrade was indeed worth it... ^_~
A few things coming to mind would be:
Aesthetics (External hardware/OSInterface etc)
Ease of use (External Hardware/Interface)
Features/Compatibility with their existing stuff, ie work, music, vids, pics, games to name a few...
Battery Life
Durability
...all I could think of at present, but I'm pretty sure there are more points to consider.
Either way, opinions on this will be pretty much subjective...
ie, my personal preference would be to steer clear of Samsung's dreaded touchwiz UI, despite how technically superior the overall spec of the SGS2 Compared to DHD... and SGS2's somewhat 'plasticky build' might not last very long with me after my little boy pinches it to watch his kids tv without me knowing about it...
but that's just me... might be completely different for someone else... like the OP thats just decided to upgrade... ~_^
I have the dhd and I got the wife an SGII
For me the SGII is the better phone, display is a lot clearer, the ui is more res2oldponsive even when clocked down etc. Dont get me wrong I love my dhd but its a bit "old" these days
Downside to the SGII is the battery life, standard and modified roms are both poor in my opinion, an in car charger is essential so it can be topped up before going to work or coming home from work etc.
I thought about this option too, upgrading to a SGS II coming from my DHD, especially seeing the big price drop on the SGS II now..
But then..

Idd..
If I'm upgrading it will be to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.. But so far still having lots of fun with the DHD and the loads of possibilities of custom ROM's
Hey,
Do you really see a battery life improvement ?
I had a SGS1 (Captivate), and couldn't stand Touchwiz. It drove me insane. What drove me more insane was the way Samsung would treat the dev community. Not much has changed since then with the release of the SGS2.
My girlfriend has the SGS2, and I will say the screen is nothing short of brilliant, and the form factor/weight is superb. However...Touchwiz!!! Argh...I hate it. It won't go away, either. Development is pretty slow as Samsung won't release the kernel source (they said they would...but then released some different source that wasn't the one on the phone)
I hate to see one of the premier Android handset makers acting so much like Apple. All that being said, I'm saving my money for the Galaxy Nexus...should be able to get it some time in February.
I think Samsung would exponentially increase their user and fan base if they would just ditch Touchwiz. Although, one of the main complaints I hear from people (mainly women/girls) about Android is that it's too complicated. I don't get this, but OK. I guess that is why Samsung seems so determined to mimic iOS.

Hey guys! Merry Christmas!
Its been a full year since me and my partner here met you guys! Xperia X8 is my first android phone, At first i was contented with everything, then i wanted more. I became greedy, I sought knowledge that was never meant to be. I was defying the will of Sony Ericsson. I rooted my X8, installed my first recovery then flashed a new rom. It felt like heaven, having a better android version and theming it all i want. But not all stories go on great. I experienced bricking my phone, i panicked. I didnt know what to do, my warranty was void, then i thought "Maybe XDA Devs can help me". And it was true, i posted in the forums and got a fast reply. I was astonished by how the members here are helping each other. I got my phone working again. I am at loss for the things happening in this forum. Almost every week there come a new rom or update. I was happy, for every addition to the X8 roms here. But lately i dont feel like its the same anymore. I feel like that X8 has reached its peak, maybe its time for me to move on.
So i was thinking which phone would you prefer buying after you Xperienced android with Xperia X8.
Ive got to options. Xperia Neo V or Xperia Mini Pro
which would you prefer.
Please feel free to give your opinion.
I am very thankful for the people here, devs or not. Thank you all farewell. I will never forget this lively forum!
More power to the devs here! Specially Doxianh, Master Shpit, Froggy Furnetal and more. Rock on \m/

yes its been an amazing journey,
i got myself neo v already,but still my x8 takes all my attention errrrtime hehe...;D
I bought mine just ~6months ago. got damn I made a bad decition but I keep reminding myself its my first android ever. Since my contract is made for 2years I'm stuck on this phone. I was thinking of getting a transformer rather than a new phone
Well,i have the same choices in mind,Neo V or Mini Pro???Neo V has a bigger screen and front camera,and Mini pro the keyboard,its the only difference???
I will go for Neo V, much better than xperia mini pro in my opinion

yeah thats true, i would go for Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy SII.
But the review indicate that SII is better, however I will go for Galaxy Nexus as it is far more likely to get more android updates when compared to Galaxy SII. Google is good in giving updates for nexus phones while you can see that Samsung don't even give much updates, even for some of the good phones.

I'm waiting for my GN too but here's what I've read as I've been following the GN forums for some time now. There are two GN builds, the yakju, which is the Google build and it is an original Nexus, and the yakjuwv build, which is Samsung's build and still hasn't got the 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 update!
HOW DARE THEY BREAK THE NEXUS LEGACY???!!!
I want a Galaxy Nexus!
im waiting for my contract to finish then i will see what phone my carrier will offer me, i hope it is a htc or some good phone
My contract ends next summer.
Then, I´ll look for a better provider (my current one still offers the X8 and doesn´t even offer the S2/Galaxy Nexus/HTC Sensation and all the other high-end devices.
I also think that my next phone will probably be a quad-core phone, I´ve read somewhere that HTC will maybe make one next year.

Guys, if you are on a contract you can still change your phone.. You just have to use the same sim card. Most people don't change their number/operator for years so it's no big deal.. If you buy a new phone again from your operator you won't have 2 contracts, they will update your current one. It works like this in my country at least..

I will vote for NEO V, its better than Mini Pro.
If you think that a cell phone is only a machine for you which must perform good then can go for Samsung/ Moto/LG any thing with better specs. For me a cell is much more than a machine. So I will stick to SE in-spite of their disadvantages.
Look and style also matters.

+1 True, but i bought Xperia Mini Pro, There was a border in neo v which ruined its design, but it has the same processor of 1ghz right? But im loving my XMP Its awesome in spite of its small screen.

Write your own review here so others can get idea who are looking for this phone.
My Review-
I have seen many people try to claim that Galaxy Fit, Galaxy Y and other in this range are better than this phone. Well, I don't really agree with this. Yes, they are officially Gingerbread supported phones and have a good Graphic Driver but it lacks something which is more important. Development! Yes, We don't have huge development for these phones. Some don't have their own forum either. Heck, even Ace doesn't have it's forum on main page. The development for this phone is huge, great and consist of very helpful users. You can't have luxury of using various Custom ROM's, tweaks, Themes, Kernel and every other development you will see in other High range phones. Before going to start discussion than this phone doesn't have Gingerbread or a good Graphic driver. Hold on, and look on development forum.
The developers here are very best and experienced in almost every field. We have ported CM7 ROM, OpenFIMG Driver and custom ROM's which makes the phone fast and fills every field which which it lacked before. Tools like Chainfire, modified flash player makes this phone more than worth at this cost and even comparable to some Higher range phones. Thanks to our developers, I am happy that I have this phone. If you are looking for high development but want a cheap phone than this is for you. If you want to keep it all stock, then you can go for any other like Galaxy Fit.
Less devlopament because they are new...
Galaxy 3 is of of course better then galaxy y
But we can't say for galaxy fit for now...
It may get own devs by time...
I agree that we have so much devlopament...
(thanks to devs)
Because the other phones are newer, we can't compare them...
And I think, g3 and apollo is not available as a new piece, people who want to take a new phone, should buy a new phone...
News is Galaxy y will get his siblings that may have front camera with low price...
But still a cheap I think...
Conclusion is,
Our phone is best by our side...
Newer phones may get their devs slowly...
People who want to buy a new phone should buy a high range of phone which ever suits their budget...
If phone is of too low range, may not give a good android experience...
Finally, samsung always gives a **** plastic feel in all range of phones
Giving a review about this phone is hopeless because its dead. I mean you can't find it in the market. Phone like fit and pop are good but our cells beats them in dev. In spec they beat us cause we don't have a good gpu. If we had that we could kick the a$$ easily. If you are looking for a midrange Samsung, go for ace or spend some more and get a galaxy s.

G3 Good as a Mid-Range Android
G3 is really good.
This is my First Android Phone and really happy with it.
My love letter to the G3
i went in the shop looking for an entry android phone and bought my g3 because they had mispriced it at £14.00 instead of £140.00. i bought three and gave one to my bro and one to my mum. I walked out of the shop feeling pretty pleased with my bargain phone and it hasn't stopped impressing me since.
Ive played with the galaxy y and other lower end samsung models and they dont seem to have the same heart as the G3. sure its a bit plastic and the screen is small and when its laid flat it cant decide if its in portrait or landscape mode, but it has something unique, an Xfactor... you. All of you! from the skilled devs to the noobs like me, this phone is loved and cherished and is being pushed well beyond its means by this community.
i know one day i will have to get a new phone (probably when i hardbrick this one!) but i doubt il ever love another handset in the same way, if i could hit all of your thanks buttons at once i would because its this community that drives my love of our humble, glitchy galaxy 3

Well, This is the first time I make an useless thread in XDA, But I'm just really mad at how dead are the forums in S2 section.. Most of the developers moved to Galaxy S3, and I think the LG Optimus 4X and Transformer prime got a taste of CM10 already.
I've been checking twitter A LOT and almost none of the developers are working on S2, Codeworkx is working on i9100G and the rest on S3.
I'm not blaming the developers for leaving us, I mean not like they're forced to develop or they're getting paid. They're doing it for fun and some of them earn money from donations. And from what I've been reading, Jelly bean is hard to port on S2 because of the incompatible chips or something, they aren't open source friendly, but I mean, S2 is still in the main page as one of the most popular devices and actually no1 is trying to get CM10 to work on S2 /: when I saw Galaxy S3 I was like.. god that's an ugly phone and it uses pentile, the battery seems lame and they didn't use the dual core exynos that is faster, I don't remember the name of that processor, so i thought not many people would move to S3. I can afford a S3 but I think it's a waste of money when i have a S2 which is super fast and the screen is amazing, and to me, the design is better on S2.
IF you wanna post your thoughts about the development in S2 lately feel free, if not just leave this useless thread.
after all this is the general section about Galaxy S2. I'm just kinda sad and disapointed, when JB was released the CM team said it'd be super super easy to upgrade from ics to jb, again I'M NOT blaming the developers or trying to get anything with this thread, the developers are amazing persons that made a lot of things for our device already and i love em
has HTC seanstion got CM10? has Optimus 2X got Cm9 ?
So my dear foolish friend stop comparing ur phone with the latest ones and wait for a while !!
Sgs2 forum seems kinda dead in the couple of months and weeks lately and we can't blame the devs for having the latest toys to play with. Anyway, even though this is the general forum for sgs2 i don't think rant threads are accepted here. I have seen alot of threads like this being closed down. I suggest change the title and the message a bit in order for your thread to not be closed by the mods. I too want JB and so are the others, the best thing for us to do is wait for sammy or other devs to port JB in our device. Cheers!
Btw, by S3 you mean the U.S variants? Because the international version of Sgs3 has a quadcore exynos processor while the us variants have a dual core S4 processor.

i agree with you! but something else made me an impression, the sgs2 community are a bunch of kids (i dont mean you exactly). if i open a thread and if i type "moron", "retard", "idiot" or some other offensive name calling i get instant results! why is that? why does everybody call the other some name? are you better than the rest? no.. have you done anything to contribute to the community (besides being a huge SoB)? no.. then shut up.. the HTC community is much more friendly, and best of all people are always trying to port something.. here we find 20 different versions of aokp, cm9 and so on.. basically exactly the same, but they've added their preferred fonts, wallpaper and all that crap. it's like that because the real developers you can count on your both hands.. the other ones are a joke.. if you put different tweaks, kernel, modem and you theme a rom.. that doent make you a developer.. developers develop.. they make programs, port roms, make things that dont work or arent compatible - compatible and working.
THAT's MY opinion.. agree with it or not
It is my 3rd day using s2 coz my nephew get himself an s3..
Prreviously i was using an s1 and the development for it was great!
I was kind of hoping s2 has the great development just like s1

I feel the same. But I am patient waiting for Samsung to release a source code and then CM10 will surely happen to S2 as well... I am also trying to trade my s2 with a Nexus but can`t find some one to do so. Anyways, CM is great and they are doing a great job. Keep up the good work guys!
Stop whining ...
It's kind of true ... thinks really slowed down a lot!
We might expect:
- official 4.0.4 rolling out july - august (for sure)
- official 4.1 this year (maby)
But cm10 undoubtedly will become a very good alternative due time, expanding life of my smartphone a year or even two.
I have no problem using my beautiful phone as a ... phone ... instead of using it as an ongoing development project
If one is addicted to a daily firmware fix ... then stop whining and move on to then next hot piece of hardware

I totally agree with your point on having different versions of the same ROM with only changed icons, wallpapers and other non sense stuff. No new feature addition or anything of that sort.
Thats why I'm either on Samsung's Official ROM or on CM9.....coz both of them are unique in their own way. Others are simply tweaks of these 2 ROMs only.
Sorry, I find MIUI pretty lame....
If codeworx would see this he would say blame samsung

No one likes to work on the S II. Codeworkx is working more on the i9100G because it's OMAP, lot more easier [and fking great, his words] than Exynos. The S I development is better than the S II, because the S I hardware is very similar to the Nexus One, so, nexus... you know. The Galaxy S JB will be better than the Galaxy S II JB. That's why, and more things, I really want to sell my S II and buy the Galaxy Nexus. The hardware of the Nexus is just a bit [really bit] lower than the S II. But with JB it just turns the Nexus a kickass phone, much better than the S II. Most likely S II won't get JB, even Samsung is tired of working on it.
So, +1 to your ideas.

Sgs2 forum seems kinda dead in the couple of months and weeks lately and we can't blame the devs for having the latest toys to play with. Anyway, even though this is the general forum for sgs2 i don't think rant threads are accepted here. I have seen alot of threads like this being closed down. I suggest change the title and the message a bit in order for your thread to not be closed by the mods. I too want JB and so are the others, the best thing for us to do is wait for sammy or other devs to port JB in our device. Cheers!
Btw, by S3 you mean the U.S variants? Because the international version of Sgs3 has a quadcore exynos processor while the us variants have a dual core S4 processor.

There's a dual core exynos that runs better than the quadcore I don't remember the name, and thanks i'll take your advice and change the title
There's still some hope.
SGS2 isn't flagship device. however even if Galaxy Note would be promised JB devs will get some blobs.
If I remember also the Galaxy Tab 2 and 7" variants are Exynos means some support could be get from those.

when I saw Galaxy S3 I was like.. god that's an ugly phone and it uses pentile, the battery seems lame and they didn't use the dual core exynos that is faster, I don't remember the name of that processor, so i thought not many people would move to S3. I can afford a S3 but I think it's a waste of money when i have a S2 which is super fast and the screen is amazing, and to me, the design is better on S2.

Pentile seems bad on a spec sheet, but in real life the implementation is stunning. Once I tried out the S3 I just had to have it, but I'm surprised how quickly everyone that used to be here have moved on to the S3.

Well if everybody has tons of money it's obvious!
Personally I bought my S2 a year ago and I don't have the money to buy an S3! I was so happy when they announced jelly bean, because I knew the S2 has a big community and I thought it would have seen JB soon, but now I'm realizing that the developers have abandoned our device! What can I say, I'm really really disappointed! I will never buy another non-nexus device! Never never never never! Just wait one more year, Samsung will release another super device, all the developers will move to that device (with the money that users donate....) and then the S3 will no longer be supported. I've already said it, and I'm gonna say it again, This is not the spirit of android!
>no one is working on jb for the S2
Not true, codeworx and espenfjo are working on it, plus other devs.

I say, just be patient and wait, it's not like CM will abandon the S2, it'll just take more time comparing to other, more open, devices.

the same happened to me.. i had a big hope and now i see everyone is getting JB and we havn't even started /: It feels weird you know, we're used to get all the updates and now S2 is dead. I also bought my galaxy S2 and since then i check the forums daily for updates, new kernels, roms etc, I've flashed over 100 roms or even more. Am I the only one that feels like the S3 isn't worth it if you have a S2? D:

Codeworkx is only working on i9100G I stalk his twitter a lot and that post is old but yea, we have to be patient and stop rushing the devs (If there r any still here)
But GT-I9100G is much easier to port since has a more open hardware, who would start from the hardest thing first and then leave the easiest for last? If it's easier you can get things done faster and later use the knowledge gained on the harder task.

I understand. You love HTC. You love the HTC One. You want it to do better than the Galaxy S IV. You may not even like Samsung phones that much.
But those are not excuses for bashing one company over and over in threads that wouldn't even mention Samsung otherwise. I know I'm probably going to get some hate now because I have a Samsung phone, and yes, I just made a post explaining why I like some of its features over the One (removable battery, microsd). But I'm not saying Samsung is the very best or anything like that. I'm tired of reading threads and coming across random hate. I'll admit, there are a bunch of trolls that come over and bash the One. Bashing the S3/S4 back is not an acceptable response.
I like Samsung phones. I also like HTC phones. I'm not a fan of LG phones, however, but that doesn't mean I go around saying things like the "Craptimus G" or "I'm glad the One doesn't have XXX like the LG Optimus G Pro, that's such a piece of ****."
Some of the threads on here are so bad I feel like I'm browsing reddit.com/r/Android at times. For those of you who don't know about reddit/that particular subreddit, be glad. It's downright awful (up there with /r/Atheism).
If you did want to compare against the S3/S4, you can just say, "I feel like the HTC One is superior to the S3/S4 in XXX aspect. I'm just not a fan of Samsung phones in general." You should not say, "Lol, the S3/S4 doesn't even compare to the One. The only reason anybody bought that plasticy piece of **** was because Samsung has more marketing. It's terrible in every aspect."
I'm no mod. I don't have any power over any of you. I've even been on xda for less time than most of you. But I know one thing for sure.
If I wanted to read hate against a certain brand I would start a thread on modmyi inciting hate against Samsung.

News flash, it happenes in every forum. Go have fun in the Samsung forum, see how they also talk about HTC.
Read one line of your worthless post and that was enough.

Is the Galaxy S4 just getting announced on the 14th of March or released on that date as I see a lot of websites stating a release date of the 14th surely this is wrong?

Meh..There aren't many problems with getting S-Off on HTCs nowadays.HTC's bootloader unlocking tool seems to be here to stay,and it seems to be working ok.Sony is the most developer friendly manufacturer,so if it's developing/modding you care about,maybe Sony's phones are the best for you.A problem that we have with both HTC and Samsung are incomplete kernel sources.I do hope things will get better with the One and the S4 and they become more like Sony,but my gut tells me that I'm probably wrong in hoping...

Those are all from the S3 forum. If you can find bashing of HTC there I'd gladly change my mind.

I think you should take fanboy-ism from both sides with a grain of salt. 99 percent of us land in the middle somewhere, but you're in a forum of a flagship device that hasn't even been released yet. The common (and sane) folk don't show up until the device has been released.

If this forum is like the Teg3 One X forum it'll actually get worse. After release, issues that are bound to come up (because no device ever produced has been issue-free or met everyone's expectations equally) go through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' five stages (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, finally, acceptance) as part of their discussion. As an example, there were clearly assembly-related QC issues and a Wi-Fi issue HTC publically acknowledged with the One X. It took dozens of pages of posts with people sharing the same issues before the "defenders" reached EKR’s "acceptance." And mentioning the "S" word unless followed by a derogatory adjective is a sure way to get the crowd riled. For some reason HTC forums tend to be more emotional. If you view a lot of it purely for the entertainment value it's kind of fun to watch. But knowing that, the best advice is "don't poke the bear."
