Omg guyz are you guys getting this 1.3453379 millisecond lag when you push the home button? It's sooo annoying omg.
This phone sucks! I'm taking it back. Get this...I asked it to make coffee for me this morning, and it just laid there doing nothing!! What a POS!
Seriously people, this is what you guys complaining about stupid things sound like. I have a feeling the people complaining are either 13 years old, or have absolutely no life.
This phone is awesome in every way possible. The screen is HUGE, bright and bold. The colors are vibrant. The GPS locks in almost immediately. The speed is fast. It does have a slight lag when you push the home button but it's literally a millisecond long. Who the hell cares?
If you're on the fence about the phone, go and get it...NOW!

I was thinking about this myself yesterday. There's a line of tolerance that you have to set for yourself with these things. Sometimes I think that it's not that the people don't like the phone, it's that they are having the "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" mentality. In the end of the day it's just a phone!

we went through this same crap when the sensaion came out. people were like this phone is such a piece of crap cause i ordered waffles and the waitress brought me eggs....i feel your pain most of these people with this phone will go away once development kicks off for this awesome device. I know its hard but try to ignore the stupid posts and they usually go away.
Is it possible that the home screen button lag is because double tapping home opens the touchwiz "voice talk" feature, and the phone hesitates for a fraction of a second incase it's a double tap? Do other non-tmobile SGSII's have this feature and behave the same way?
good point blue biscuit!!
Good call, can't wait to be able to remove that feature with CM7 (at least re-map it). If you guys want a nice sign of speed go to the gallery. I'm blown away at how fast all the images just drop into the gallery when you load it. Maybe that's just me though, coming from the HD2 with android...
With new phones comes new complaints and true they will go away once the phone has been out for a while. I really think people just need a way to vent. I got this phone and it didn't have siri. The phone looked like an iphone but didn't have itunes. Irritating but it's as easy as just ignore their posts.
Seriously people, if you have a problem just ask for help. Starting a new thread to ***** and moan is not going to solve the problem. If you get no help here and want to return it. Do it queitly and move on. Now I'm going back to playing with my phone. It's going to be making me lunch in a little bit and I don't want to miss that. This thing makes great eggs.

Very good question. The home button lag is odd and seems deliberate, no?
Regardless, there is no question this phone is slower than the other SGS II.

Okay, so i was bored and messed with my HD2 with Wp7. i discovered that on the xbox live avatar screen if you tap, hold and swipe left and right, BUT NOT LETTING GO, makes it look like there is an earthquake and get this....YOUR AVATAR RESPONDS! Mine just looked dizzy and fell to the floor haha. you can also shake it and oddly enough it does some lulzy dance moves.
Try it out and post results!
go now!
NOW.
Yeah, mine too lol
hahaha EARTHQUAKE cool feature
Also if you shake him long enough he gets mad he "cracks your screen" in anger.
the best one is when you constantly shake your screen to make him fall, he gets mad and forces the screen to swipe to the left
I just loled I also like when hes gets some sleep some time
Yea its pretty awesome all in all!
(comment retracted)
Apologies for my sarcasm. It indeed does work.
Love that he swipes the phone back to the main screen.
Neat Trick! A similar thing happens to the office assistant on PC.
sure haven't said:

Huh?
Your avatar actually will do all of these things lol. Try it!
I dont know if you guys have seen it yet but he can even dance. Play some music, then go to xbo live while music plays in background. Then see the avatar make awesome moves! He dances along with your music.
Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
Same thing happens if you violently shake the phone
Aslo if you ignore him, he will stealthly slink off the screen whistling
Haha I had to laugh when he forced my screen to swipe tot he left.
Actually the best is if you get your avatar to fall down a couple of times in a row it will get mad and kick the screen and 'shatter' the screen.
Ok I just made a video for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bc4NQqxkoc for all who dont believe
Yes it's working and very funny
Nice you found about this too.
lookie here
video
I just tried and it worked fine for me. My Avatar was playing with a cellphone and obviously it was a wp7. I could even tell that the content is showing the colorful tiles.
Look at your achievements list. Your avatar will act happy when you view achievements you unlocked and will go crazy when you look at achievements that have not been unlocked yet.

I would actually be interested in a kid friendly rom because I'm planning to get my baby sister an android phone soon. Probably not a gs2 though, lol... so a kid friendly rom for this phone wouldn't do me much good.

everything is pretty much kid friendly, its what you get from the market thats not. only thing is theming it..
I was thinking about this the other day. On computers not phones. I think what you gotta do is have a keylogger and the balls to confront the little ones about naughty or dangerous surfing.

No. No offence but I don't think this would be very popular. So what, whenever my kid asks to use my phone I do a nandroid and flash to a kid rom or iOS???? I don't thinks so.

Like I said earlier try kid mode from the market. It's kind of a launcher in a way. You set it up so that your kid only has access to certain apps. They can't make calls can't even run the browser unless you allow it. I have it on my phone and I love it.
Me babay. Make bebe romz, ¿k?

I was just looking for exactly that. For those that are wondering why a kid would need a smartphone etc., it's not the point. They wouldn't be using it as a smartphone. I have an old SGS1 that I don't see why I couldn't repurpose as a media-player device + for my daughter. An ipod would do the trick but 1) this thing would kick the pants off any ipod I've seen so far capabilities wise (16GB built in, microSD slot up to 32GB, bigger higher resolution screen, play whatever media format you put in it, etc.) and with voodoo sound even the sound quality is better, 2) it's not made by Apple, and 3) I've already got it. I will try the kid mode launcher another poster mentioned below but I think there could be a market for this judging by the amount of kiddie tablets etc. that are on the market now and way cheaper if you already have a device or can pick one up used. Will post back after trying the kid mode deal.
Sounds interesting. Maybe one that is baby proof. So that they can't mess things up like send unwanted messages or delete stuff or make calls. Not so I don't have to watch them but so that I don't have to keep taking it from them
Nova will accomplish all this stuff, or other apps. You just hide apps you don't want them using. Like market, system apps... Etc. The only issue would be browser. But I'm sure that could be dealt with also. And yeah.... If they are sharing the parents phone... What good would a safety rom be when I need my phone. And if it's their phone... It's simple to kid proof. My 5 year old has an s2 we didn't need anymore. It has Netflix, some games, some videos on it.... And just about every thing else is hidden. Never had an issue with her getting into things she shouldn't. As far as games that can lead you to market and purchases.... There's a password for purchases and generally I just get rid of those games.
Anyway.... No, the kids rom would never be made.... But really, once you kid proof your device... That's basically what you have. So there's no point.

Its not about the money for me though, granted I wouldn't even be considering it if its wasn't currently 25p.
But I wan't to know how much people enjoy it, and whether it is like Assassins Creed type of game, because if it is, I won't be purchasing.
If you waste thus much time worrying about a 25pc purchase you have serious time management issues.

It's noting like Assassins Creed, trust me. You don't climb buildings. You don't assassinate people. The combat is completely different.
Horn is more like, well... It's actually very original, except the combat system. Everyone in the world gets turned into robots(sorta ) and it's upto you to turn them back, save them. The combat is easy swiping the screen to attack then pressing buttons on the bottom left and right to doge your foes attacks.
The story is okay, I wont spoil it for you so if you want to know more about it you'll have to buy it. The graphics are very good and it runs very well for me, some say otherwise. One other thing I have to praise the game for is its brilliant voice acting, top stuff.
I must say for 25p it's a steal, I made the mistake of buying it on day one. Purchase it, Download it, Play it, like it or hate it and remove it. Really, it's definitely worth a shot.
Sod it, Ima give it a purchase and have a play with it after work.
Cheers CJ, most constructive reply yet !
Appreciate it
No problem :good:
Hey guy, so my mom is super protective and all this junk and im 16 years old and a guy im not that bad of a kid so theres no need for this plus a total invasion of privacy. They bought this thing its called guarddad for 70$ ! and they dont know i know about it. but it sees all text incoming and out, if i take a pic from my camera they can see it all call logs internet and all this crazy ****. i want it off or blocked, i want my phone on total lockdown with full privacy i have a sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted. Please help
I had to Google it to find it, it's an interesting program. This isn't going to be what you want to hear, but it seems she is looking out for you. Moms do that, all through life. With all of the horrible things online she is worried about you. My suggestion, instead of going behind her back, is to talk with her about it. I don't think you will get the help you were expecting from this place. XDA is for development, not hacking.

That's sounds a little over-protective to me. Even texts I understand but pictures? That's a little invasive. Anyway, think u could provide a link? I couldn't find what he was referring to.
It's actually called DadGuard. It is invasive, that's why I suggested he needs to talk to them about it.

Not saying talking to your parents is a bad idea. But if you want to go the behind their back route download this and flash in custom recovery. Dadguard will be nonexistent after
If I found out my kid removed whatever tracker I put on her phone, that would be the end of that device.

Download the file I posted above and flash it. Problem solved
Wow. This app extremely blurs the line between overprotectiveness and outright 24/7 monitoring.
But won't they notice when they stop receiving the logs of everything you do? I mean, even antivirus programs will notify you once the online service detects that you haven't used the app in several days and such. I'm fairly sure this app would have some sort of safeguard like that.

I was thinking the same thing with regards to both parts of this post. However, I hope this brat teenager does flash this "fix" and get in trouble. If he thinks he is so wise to the ways of the world and is so capable of taking care of himself, he can feel free to move out/get kicked out and then:
Pay rent/mortgage
Pay utilities/electric/water/etc.
Pay for groceries
Pay for car/insurance
Pay for TV/internet/etc.
Cook/clean/do laundry for himself
And oh yeah, presumably attend high school every day.
What an ungrateful little punk. He needs to understand that parents have the best interests of their kids at heart, and parents have already gone through teenage life themselves.
