Using phone in public...

Does anyone attract attention while using their phone in public? I can't count the amount of people who were amazed at the phone. They usually say, " I thought only iphones can do that! "

then i guess i'm on the lucky side.
as everyone that has asked me they automatically recognizes it's a SGS2
they all say "wow! is that the S2?" or "How's reception on it?" or "which network are you using it on?"

Yeah, I had a couple of my friends with iPhones tell me the screen was really nice and clear. Its such a nice sized phone for me too.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

I always get asked, why is the screen so big lol

That's funny when women ask me why its so big they've never referred to the phone.

I think the majority of their games are better than ours. Android has come a long way but still has a long way to go too.

I was walking by a group of people in line for the iPhone4s and I hear some guys say "What is that?" one asked "hey bro can we see your phone?" They liked the huge screen, I told them about the 4g speeds, and they all go "ohh that's a Samsung." I then say "Yeah its a Galaxy S II, this phone is AMAZING." and proceed to get into a cab. True Story.

Everyone at my school already says that's a pretty big phone when they see my SR, I can't wait to hear the responses at how big my Note will be.
But of course, I usually get more replies about my penis size, but this is not the thread, nor the forum for that.

[Q] Epic won't turn on, high pitched whine when charging

I think the title says it all. I've got an Epic that produces a high pitched whining noise (reminiscent of an old CRT monitor) when plugged into USB without a battery in. When I try and turn on the phone, there's a very faint, intermittent clicking sound coming from the top area of the phone's back. If I put the battery in with USB in, the clicking sound resumes.
Since the phone won't turn on, I'm guessing something's wrong with the power circuitry? Is this anything that could be taken care of by me, or is the phone a lost cause?

I think your diagnosis is correct. Sounds like it is oscillating. To diagose further you would probably need an oscilloscope and a schematic. I believe Sprint takes care of non-insured repairs for $35.

could sell it to someone with a stray dog problem too!:}

Woah! Never heard of that. You have a real brick! Congrats! 1 in a million!

I'm honored? Anyways, confirmed: it's not responding to a download mode dongle, so it's really quite dead. Off to eBay to sell it for scrap.

There are people who work on solid bricks they take apart the phone and hook it up straight to the pc and will bring it to download mode and restore it.

Well.... according to my infinite knowledge of electronics, he has a blown fuse on that thing. Loud whine is more like a fuse that popped. Kinda like when you have the iron plugged in while your room heater is at Max and you put in a hotpocket in the microwave. In about 30 seconds all the lights. Go off. Gotta go pop the breaker. But once you are at the breaker box, there's a hmmmm whine to it. That's exactly what's going on his epic. Unfortunately, there's no breaker build in the epic, even with all its glory, galaxy s devices are prone to fuse popping.

It's not apple bashing, it's showing how people can be told that something is a new version of an existing product and believe it 100% and not even question it.
It's not specific to Apple products, it happens with everything.
They just used the iPhone as an example because it's a popular device (believe it or not) and people know that the iPhone 5 release is coming up.

Microwave metal == VERY bad idea, phone or not.
I would try to get all the water out, shake, blow etc. then set the device on top of something mildly warm such as a cable box, maybe a computer. Patience is a virtue.

I know that but I guess they didnt.. I just told them to dry it for me while I washed my **** smelling hands lol....

That did escalate quickly. If you might have noticed (at least this is how I read the OP), the OP is not the one who put the phone in the microwave to begin with. First sentence was "He gave it to someone to dry." Second, right after the microwave was brought into the play, he states that he didn't even know why it was put in the microwave to begin with.
Thank you for ending that particular discussion.
To the OP, as far as damage to your phone goes, I will have to agree that there is still definitely some water damage. I would do my best talking with Sprint to see if you can squeeze a phone out of them. I've done it in the past with water damage. Good luck to you.

Well ive tried and no phone yet sadly but im deaing well with this one..
