holy crap wow! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

so ive had this phone for 3-4 months now, and ive discovered these..really awesome things
1. great build quality, i dropped it the other day and the phone had absolutely no scratches(from my waist height, so around 3 foot? onto the pavement..) this really shocked me
2. the phone is super fast..even compared to my friend's sgs2 i9100(after installing faux's kernel at least)
3. HOLY CRAP amazing screen, i get theres blob and lines..but since they arent all that visible to me i just ignore it.. now ive popped in a movie in it today for the first time..and holy crap the colors are amazing..transformer 1 looks better on my phone versus my 1080p screen..

I love mine too i just got a white one

yeah, the phones screen is great if you can ignore the lines. but i think you got a bad fullhd tv if you think your phone is better :/

Hows the white one treating you?

i watched the movie on my computer, not a tv..hehe the thing is, on my computer screen it lacked contrast, lcd/led screens never display black properly, so movies look crap compared to superamoled..which can display proper black...

Yep, phone's pretty great.

You're not very visually observant if you don't see the difference between OLED and typical TV screen technologies. OLED kills LCD and plasma in contrast. Black is black. I actually bought an Amaze first, because the screen looked "brighter" to me in the store. But I couldn't stand the gray "blacks" that was much more obvious in low ambient light conditions. A few other things annoyed me so I swapped it for the GS2 and I am much happier with this phone. I've actually watched a few movies on the phone because the subtle shadow detail is so amazing on Super AMOLED Plus. This is why the big buzz from CES is the OLED TVs being introduced by LG and Samsung this year. I can't wait to see these TVs in person, although I'm sure I won't be able to afford one for a while.

I agree very nice phone, fast and beautiful!

This is the best phone ever. I purchased white one from ebay and I am loving it. This might sound crazy but I love touchwiz on sammy devices. I also own a white samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and I love both of my sammy devices. I love sammy touchwiz music player app and file explorer.

Yea I had the amaze at first but that screen bleed issue was killing me I knew about the blobs and stuff but I ignore them and once i popped in a 1080p movie I was like wow pat on myself in the back for that exchange

i was actually thinking about the blob stuff..im quite sure our adreno 220 gpu can actually support a 720p screen..so why dont we wait and see if samsung pushes a 4.5 inch 720p phone out, and buy the replacement screen for it?

I'm in love with this phone. Makes my Sensation feel like a G1. I'm still dancing since I got it free. I still am in shock watching apps install almost instantaneously.

really? is a screen transplant actually possible? cost aside ($100+ for a screen when you can just invest in the next best device, actually SAMOLED+ may be even more $$) assuming the screen's ribbon connections are magically compatible, wouldnt the software of the phone only pump out WVGA resolution and your 720p screen would have ugly black bars? Phone screens != PC monitors mix and match

One way to find out, someone be a guinea pig. lol

The cpu can support 720p screen the rezound has a 720p super lcd screen with htc sense bloat on top of it.

Only problem with Tmo SGS2 for me is....

Lower resolution.
And it's the only problem for me.
Everything works perfectly fine.
GPS, bluetooth, amazing web browsing experience, sound quality, etc...
I mean, it's not a big deal, but it bothers me just a little whenever I see bad-quality picture and could notice pixels
Oh, one more thing...
This phoene is very hard to use with just one hand lol I keep pressing search haptic search key whenever I reach for menu button lol

Ditto to the one-hand use. I'm pretty confident that the majority of the users cannot use this phone one-handed as it is almost impossible to reach the corner farthest away from the main thumb without the phone slipping. This will be even more so when you attach a case to it due to the increased width.
you can't really point resolution as being a problem
as the phone is designed like that
it was not advertised as HD
only the upcoming Prime and korea SGS2 version have HD display

You definately can tell the resolution difference. I have the unlocked version of the SGS2 and I'm looking at it side by side and YES there is a resolution difference, I was thinking that unlocked SGS2 look more crispier and sharp but on Tmobile SGS2's resolution being lower was due to the bigger screen or something....also the I notice there was a lag on Tmo SGS2 when playing 720P avi file when there was no lag at all on the unlocked SGS2

I think the lag is because the exynos is more focused on media consumption than snapdragon

I actually like the resolution. I have 20/15 corrected vision, but it's still nice to have stuff just a tad bit bigger. I feel like I don't have to lean over my phone in order to use it. I can reach the whole screen one-handed, but I have pretty big hands... I admit 720p resolution would be hott still, but I would be concerned about the battery life of such a huge screen with that dense of a resolution.
I've been playing with mine for some time now and the resolution is not a problem for me, and neither is lag.
I have a feeling that people have crazy expectations over phones and in the end they end up being disappointed.
The only thing I don't like about mine is all the dumbass apps that came with it, but that's with most phones.

Who else here left their G2x for this phone?

I did, just wondering what screen looks better to you?
I think the G2x is a little more vivid with the colors it seems like, this phone does not seem very bright in comparison and outdoor viewing is not totally bad but better on the LG. screen size tho is a great trade off lol.
what do you think?
I think you may have gotten a bad galaxy s 2 if you think the colors on a LCD are more vivid than a s-amoled + screen
Just my 2¢.
-Hercules grabbed my post, and threw it at your face to be read-
I agree, when outside if I crank my brightness to max this display is beautiful.

it doesn't even need to be in the max
60% is enough to make it very crispy and easily readable under direct sunlight
main reason why i would never buy another cell phone without SAMOLED+ display
I got rid of my G2x for this and I think the SGS2 has a faaaarr better screen. Haven't had a chance to use it outside much, but when I have, the brightness was fine.
damn, mine looks dull...unless there is some setting im missing? brightness wise im not impressed, the G2x IPS display is better (at least on my end it seems that way) not saying its awful but i got it cranked to full and it still seems "dull" in comparison
Far better than my G2X
ill be a hair more specific here, say looking at facebook, a white background, seems grayish dulled out, and on the G2x its like bright white, otherwise its pretty bright, it just seems as if the whites are grayish a tad, like 10-15% gray if that makes anysense?

Turn the auto brightness off and set the brightness to 35-50%.
*looks at dude with a black eye* *asks him* "damn, deebo took your bike too?"
Been out to play with it - going to get mine from amazon on the 19th if sammy's press conference doesnt pan out to a "nexus galaxy"
Miss my 3g Vibrant SOOOO much, loved the hell out of that screen - till an errant drop cracked the heck out of it, and i was left with this rebooting, GPS loosing, freezing POS.
(vibrant had plenty o' problems, but the grass is always greener isnt it.)
Wow my brightness level is always at 0% and I can see it clearly in direct sunlight no kidding. My sensation had to be at full brightness. If I turn the brightness on a 100% on the SGSII it's a like a freaking lightbulb in your face it's soo bright.
I'll be here shortly 2weeks, keeping my g2x too tho still one of the baddest, it will be my backup **** when ur getting quadrant scores of over 5300 oc to 1.5 that's the **** can't wait till the gs2 is converted to ext4 for way better quadrant scores, specifically I/o
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I using the G2x and sometime the sensation for fun, yesterday I was playing with the SG2 at the Sprint store and I can tell you that G2x is the most vibrant screen color out of the the 3. I know for sure the G2x screen is better then the HTC QHD,
when I compare with the GS2 had is a tad dull.I don't why G2x has LCD and look alot better the QHD crap .
Trying to get the
Sgs 2 but its 500 since I have to buy it full retail.
Any ideas on how to get rigs of g2x for goods price
That's what she said...
I definitely switched back to samsung. I've been going hard with my new sgs2, and I'll be continuing for the next 2 weeks. Just to make sure that everything works satisfactory.

I'm thinking about it, just waiting on the Prime announcement and also keeping an eye out on development for this phone.
To the ones that have ...
Is it worth the upgrade?
I've played around with one at the store, but its not the same as owning one. And since there is a $50 restocking fee, I don't want to buy and then change my mind.
Also I'm curious as to how long it will take to update to ICS. I've also own the Vibrant and some know how that went.
....
im loving this phone, speed is nice...once root comes ill be 100% satisfied!
This phone bends the G2X over and donkey punches it. I always had to fight the urge to throw the thing out my car window.
The display on my sgs2 is amazing, bigger, IMO clearer. I just downloaded Asphalt and it plays just as smooth, if not better, as my g2x did.
GPS is amazing on the sgs2. It was an absolute fail on the g2x. This was my biggest problem with it.
So long g2x. I hope the old Asian guy I sold it too ends up smashing it.
Sent from my: T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2
I did and plan to stick with the SII. Maybe I'm just blind but the g2x screen was way too small; especially as a GPS. Also, the bugs like needing a hard restart because data would drop out 5 times a day, random reboots, and random poor reception. LG also did a terrible job supporting/updating the phone...

I love this freagin Phone Gawt Damn it.

I don't care about the little freaky glitches or that the battery only lasts a day with moderate usage(typical android and pretty good for htc). The phone is damn sexy, HTC sense for once works for me and I like it. The screen is out of this world, and it takes a second for my eyes to accept the low resolution, and clarity of the real world when I take my eyes of the screen. I love the quality of pictures it takes and really expected far worse from an HTC camera. The design and feel is sexy. Not to heavy and not to light, 4.7 inches and it feels like a much smaller phone. Little cute LED to let me know what I am missing(not the strobe light that upsets my wife at night on the galaxy nexus). Its the first phone that makes me want to whisper love poems to it.
Now where are the damn screen protectors and cases worthy of her beauty?
There is a white one x sitting in my amazon cart right now, taunting me. I bought the GNote at launch and I love it but its not a bad idea to have a smaller phone for other situations. The one x seems pretty damn impressive. I have a feeling that with it not being sold in the US in quad core form, it will hold its value pretty well. At least until the inevitable sgs3 drops damnit Im addicted to phones

Thats true the value in the states will stay high. I loved my note but this phone just feels special.
In love
I'm definitely in love with the One X too! I have the Gnex and it's getting pretty jealous right now, lol. Screen is so much better and it's so fast. Also real pleased with all the dev going on, makes me feel better about my purchase. I've had a few screen glitches but only since I rooted and went with custom roms. Although I unlocked the bootloader in less then 24 hours so not much chance to give stock a good run. My employer offset the cost and put in $300 towards my new baby so it was a bargain!!! Very pleased overall.
Pulled the trigger on a white one. One day shipping should put it in my hands before I leave for vacation weds afternoon

Well no glitches or problems for me! bought a white version and I LOVE IT! what a fantastic phone! Very happy to be a HTC customer!
I love the phone too just wished the battery was a little better but the camera is pretty good and the best i have seen on a phone. It's light feels great. Really good screen over saturates on some colours however the quad core is a power house.
I noticed you on AT&T do you have the snap dragon version? Or did you get the unlocked global version?

I get 4G on AT&T in Texas on mine.
Oh, and I completely echo the sentiment of the OP: This phone is the ****.
Yep, I got the grey one since I dont rly like the white color. White is timeless, agreed, and can look pretty elegant (and expensive), but I am more the dark type of person (color preference, not personality or style ) like more the decent, non attention colors. Grey just fits me quite well, and yes, its one damn beauty.
Sense 4.0 still got its issues, like pretty borked memory management (Rosie Reloads anyone? Drives me crazy sometimes) and bugged Tegra 3 drivers. Tegra 2 Games and Apps mostly run horrible, and the Tegra 3 enabled Games start to lag quite abit when alot interaction is going on.
Software-wise, and performance-wise, this phone is capable of so much more. Just look that the Transformer Prime with Tegra 3. It has a similar screen resolution, but almost EVERYTHING runs effin smooth on this baby. That is just ONE proof that HTC ****ed up the rushed release with its buggy software. Cant wait for a new, optimized and more ironed out firmware upgrade!
Camera Performance isn't final as well. I guess the bad performance is due to some missing optimizations, the hardware is great.
Overall, I dont regret switching from my Galaxy S2 i9100 to the One X, knowing it can do even better than it already does.

Galaxy nexus' screen makes me incredible dizzy :/

You might laugh but its true, i can't use my galaxy nexus while I'm on a moving car, and no I'm not the one driving, when I use it I get incredible dizzy, I wanna throw up, I'm blaming the pentile screen, I had a galaxy s ii which is super amoled plus and an inspire 4g which is super LCD and I had no troubles whatsoever, does anyone else has the same issue?

It probably has to do with you focusing on the text when you're moving, you get motion sickness. just take medicine for it
I did notice that effect when staring down at the screen with a certain pattern of floor tile in my peripheral vision.
Immediately got dizzy and no matter how much I told myself out was just a visual effect and that I don't experience this type of vertigo, ever... It continued
I've had several smart phones and other devices that should have caused this if I had this type of problem, but this is the first screen that had ever done this to me
So yes, I believe you are correct

It may be.
I personally can't watch DLP TVs or Projectors. I see very vivid flashing rainbows that make me extremely sick.
LED backlight LCD screens make me sick too. When the brightness is dimmed I start seeing the flicker from the LEDs. Hence why I've had AMOLED phones for almost 2 years.

Your eyes probably run at a higher fps than the rest of us! :-O
Its because your brain thinks you're still and the liquid in your ears (forgot the word) is being moved around since you're in the car. If you look out the window then you won't feel sick.
Its motion sickness.
All of you are missing the point-obviously from his post he's had other phones and didn't experience the same issue, it's not simple motion sickness, it's somewhat device specific. Not that the Galaxy Nexus is the only device that can cause it by any means

Could be, my personal feeling is the resolution has a LOT to do with it.
That's yet another reason the Galaxy S2 is pretty much the best phone every produced to date IMO. The lower resolution looks more stunning than anything I've ever seen on a smart phone and minimizes/eliminates the problems that come with a tighter pixel density
Still love my nexus though, more than the GS2

Sometimes when I play call of duty MW3 I get dizzy when I get a text and look at my nexus cause of the pentile....
The only logical explanation for his dizziness is that he loves his gnex so much, that everytime he touches it he gets an erection, causing more blood flow to other parts than the brain
Yeah I found the screen a little to look at coming from a super LCD device as well. Didn't make me sick just the samoled has a funny hue to it. I'm hoping the next nexus will be super ips, the one x has an amazing screen it's just a shame about the software.

You should see your doctor.Dont forget to take your phone with you as this will help in your diagnosis
Ya I can't do anything on my phone while in a car or on a boat. I get nausea and such. I've always been like that with phones though.

I wouldn't blame it on the pen tile. You have to realise that this is a 720dpi screen compared to the sgs2 with a lower Res screen. The additional sharpness leads to slow slightly smaller font and the clarity makes your eyes focus on words and pictures more.

I'm afraid its bad news..... you caught eye aids from your phone and the prognosis isn't good.
Within 6 months you'll have full blown nexitis and maybe 6 months after that you will have to have your eyes replaced with two 5mp sensors from a gnex (irony) due to the eye aids.
In all seriousness tho there isn't much you can do, changing the gamma settings or a dev changing the frame rate or something like that may help you.
Other than that your only option is to not look at your phone when you're using it.

Is it just me?

When I use my friends iPhones or any 720p phones they look very grainy to me. Is it just me or is it because I have gotten used to the QHD display on my G3? I used to think the iPhone screen size was ok...now when I use it it's like a toy, and I have a hard time navigating the screen ?
Also whenever I use the S4 it definitely feels a little more grainy after you get used to the QHD panel. Is anyone else seeing those sideffects. I think my perception quality expectations is out of the roof now...makes me wonder how people claim that a iPhone PPI is more than enough ?
Same here, every smartphone I am looking at looks kinda grainy, it's hard to describe...
The display of my mother in laws Galaxy core something with it's 800x480 4,3" display looks like a crossword puzzle ☺
Frankly even some 720P phones make the iPhone look grainy, the iPhone is one of the lowest DPI phones you can still buy, it doesn't qualify as HD by any definition.
Yup my other phone is iphone 5 and its sh*t compered to g3 my mother huawei g300 that is just ridiculous
Agreed, even the 1080 phones look quite quite grainy. The sharpening and variable quality screens ruin the G3 display though.

I know it makes me think what the hell are the iPhone fans thinking when they say that 300 PPI is more than enough or 1080p is unnecessary. Even the New iPhone 6 4.7 and 5.5 inch models won't have FHD. Totally will look grainy for sure.

Well yeah, I'm just talking about graininess
Not just you, I also have a Moto X and that screen just screams of pixelation.
I'm starting to see old image assets showing their true low definition in apps, live wallpapers, games ect. Luckyily this isnt a 4k phone or it might be more noticable, as is things will only improve for 2k and 4k as time progresses. I can really tell text has lost the jagged edges it had with my old 720p phone which is nice.
Wanted to add it will be strange seeing mobile devices pushing uhd more than most, remember the image quality android and ois started with?
You sure you're not looking at the S4 with one of those plastic screen protectors on?

I use tempered glass. So does my other friend. The pentile matrix makes it more noticible.

Yeah they look perfectly fine bro.
Now what has me tripping is how can LG put a qhd resolution on the LG Stylus. That is such a 2010 resolution. I can't imagine what kind of PPi and grainy experience one would have.

When I say they look okay, I mean they look okay... Not fantastic or anything. I personally like the lg g3 display. It doesn't have that saturated look that Apple pushes with almost all of their displays.
It's more like a Eizo or Ben-q monitor. I guess you just have to work on them for period of time to appreciate it..
Some folks will dislike the output and some will make the necessary color adjustments to the device. I have colleagues who have looked at footage or hi res pictures on my device and they like the output..
YMMV

The S4 and G2 displays are sti some very nice displays buddy. R2member they are still 1080p display.
With the galaxy s series phones you can calibrate the screen really good. On my issue is screen burn in.
The g2 to me is an okay display. The s4,wasn't something I cared for display wise. I still have my G2. I never noticed screen burn in with my g2
I tried using my calibrator on my g2 and I failed!!
When the new devices drop, it will be the same issues. The iPhone will have glue issues like they always. People will complain about the note 4 display until a few updates come out, and people will talk about the moto's radio more than anything else. The N6 will be buttery smooth , and that will be the sticking point for most with each particular device..
Power consumption concerning the higher end displays will be interesting with these devices..

What's also interesting will be if these displays actually change after being used for a while. My tv needed X amount of burn in time before the calibrator came out and to my place and did some adjustments to the tv.
If anyone can expound on if that is the case with these displays that would be interesting to get some source material on and read up on the subject.

LCD displays do in fact cure over time. They just like everything else typically take time to burn in.
