Hi guys
I'm looking at getting this phone in July when it's released in Canada. I just want to know how many people who bought the most recent phones are having problems with screens (yellowing), and the battery/reboot issues.
I love this phone but now I see all the problems it has I'm not as inclined to buy it...
Thanks,
Elliott

Can you get this thread closed by a mod and then create one exactly the same but add the option "I have no problems"?
i honestly dont have any issues with it..
Crap sorry I forgot that option...
Thanks for the replies
no problems with mine either. best phone ive had - easily.
I have the yellowing screen, but tbh, only when I searched for it, I noticed, on normal daylight outside or inside, while txting or browsing net, by watching movies or playing games, you willl NEVER notice it, unless you are looking for it. and its only when its showing darkgrey color and only when brightness is less than 50%, that was the only condition I was able to see it, any other color will NOT have this issue, and if you have combination of more colors, you have no chance to see it...
This cannot annoy me more than the fact that I will send my SGSII for repair and be without it for 2 weeks and then get it back with new display, but same issue..
Again here ... NO issues at all. Amazingly good phone!,
I have not noticed any battery or spontaneous reboots on my SGS. I bought it in early June.
Neither did I notice the yellow banding, but this does not mean that it is there.
no problems so far
I got my phone a week ago today, had no issues at all its a fantastic android, the best I have ever owned.
5 bad pixels here. No other issues.
No problems at all with the phone, best one I ever had
(and I'm now in my 50's, so I've had a lot of phones)
The unlucky people with problems are a bit like the unlucky HTC Desire owners, when it first came out many had to be returned for repair.
I dont have any of these problems. I got my phone 17th June
My battery used 0% of the battery while being inactive for 12 hours

It's obviously not. It's not actually possible for it to use 0% of the battery and remain on. Hell - the battery would run dry if it wasn't even in the phone, given enough time, so it's never using 0% unless it's actually empty!!!
fellow canuck here using it on Fido. love it. no problems here. I never turn down my brightness below 100%, seems like a slap in the face to all the engineers who helped develop the super AMOLED+ screen
I got mine 7 days ago and it's back in it's box ready to go back! I should say I'm getting another one though.
Mine had a very poor microphone, so poor infact that when I called myself and left a voicemail, I couldn't understand it Also had a reception issue, and was generally a lemon!
NONE

was one of the very first to get the aussie SgsII, was delivered on june 1st, no issues what so ever

Thanks for all the responses guys. Any more would be great!

I have the phone for a little over a week but today it was hot, i mean i have never felt a phone that hot, hope it will get better or may be this is how these phones are lol
This morning I used Viber to make a call. Somewhere at the 29th minutes into the conversation I noticed the phone was getting so hot that I can not let it touch my face any more so I hanged up and check, Baterry Monitor Widget indicates temperature were at 114.4 Fahrenheit. I have 3Do case on at that moment so I took the case off in hopes to cool it down ...
Anyone ever get that kind of temperature with your phone before?

Is this something we should be worried about?
I just got my Amaze yesterday and haven't even used it yet.
Waiting for a screen protector.
Is this a common problem? 114f sounds pretty serious.
This may be weird, but have you guys switched to the SIM cards included in the box? The first week I had mine, it used to get really hot, I read somewhere that switching to the new sim card fixed that. Just a guess really, mine gets warm, but only after intensive use for about an hour or so..
There is an update too that was released and that from what I've heard has helped with this type of issue.
Just about every phone overheats once in awhile but you'll notice it a lot more with HTC phones because of the materials (metals) used to build the phone. Metals will always be too hot in the Summer and too cold in the winter. Similar to leather seats in a car without the heat or a/c on.

Not sure since this is my first 1/2 hour conversation - I will recheck again tomorrow with both calling on Tmobile and Viber to sort it out. I suspect it may cause by using Viber eventhough my previous use of Viber on HD2 did not caused such ...

I hopes it only happened once in a while too since I came from HD2 running both Winmo and Android - both SD card and Nand and my HD2 always been inside Otterbox Defender case and I've never had such issue.

It's a VOIP program that allowed you to make free international calls provided the other party has it on their phone too. It's work on iPhone3GS and up and on any Android. Similiar to Skype and stuff like that without the hassle to sign-in when you using it.

It's happening to my phone also , every single phone that's released is going to have a faulty batch & I think me & you received them my phone got hot & my battery broke ;x

FWIW: Mine NEVER gets hot--no matter what I am doing. The initial update (included in the newer roms) supposedly fixed the heating issue.
check your battery usage to see what app is using up your battery. i had the same problem with my amaze it would get supper hot and battery would die in 4 hours with no usage. turns out it was youmail the voicemaill app that was killing my phone.

Is there an app you recommend for monitoring battery usage?
I've seen screen shots of people showing some sort of battery graph and chart before, just don't know what they used to get that.

Its all about radio transmits while using wifi and voice over ip . I think it happens especially when use VOIP software. Example fring too. Just try to soft reset and it will fix. It happens to Samsung galaxy ii as well.

Not in my case. I was using VoIP on my mobile data connection.
I guess Revolution maybe right in that his and mine are in the same faulty batch though. Hopefully we got more members tracking on this issue for 114> Fareinheit is absolutely worrysome
My first EVO that I bought on launch day was having some issues. Sense reloading, WiFi not disconnecting after I left my house, 3g sucked, battery life wasn't the greatest, and just seemed laggy. The guys at best buy tried argueing with me and said to reproduce the issues. I was able to show them the 3g connection and my WiFi issue. The guys tried telling me the WiFi was because the phone will automatically connect to all open access points. This is where we started to argue for a minute or two. I told them that was BS, we argued for a few seconds then I cut him off and asked, "Are u going to honor your return policy or what?" I hate it when Best Buy employees try to act that they know everything.
Anyways, the second EVO is running great. WiFi acts normal, way less lag, battery has gone for 2 full days without being charged and moderate use. And sense hasn't reloaded one time yet. Im really glad I traded it out for another instead of just returning. I'm going to give it one more week before I root. I'm missing my apps from my OG EVO.

HTC has a built in feature called SmartSync, which disables data after a period of non-use for deep sleep. If you check the dev threads, there's a fix for it, but it requires some smali editing. Some of the more recent roms have it built in. So the whole WiFi/3G disconnect thing is actually a feature believe it or not...lol
I believe I am lucky. Even though there are the multitasking issued, which everyone has, my EVO has never done the loading sense home screen thing... And I run some memory hoggin apps. Grindr, last.fm, maps, xda, browser, mail. Never had the reload show up yet.

im having the light leak issue also.
also the sticker i had was black, like some generic sticker placed over the small clear one that was probably broken already.
i may have been sold one that someone returned. mf's
question: do i have to go to the same store i bought it at to exchange it?
I understand your pain dealing with people that are less knowledgeable than you (a Sprint rep tried to tell me that the SD card on my phone could be what was causing the reception issues if the card was 32gigs, no joke). However, try to understand that most of the time these people are just following instructions set forth by their employers. When things usually start to escalate like that, stay polite and ask for a manager. Believe me, it works better.
Anyway, I'm glad you got a non-defective phone and can start to enjoy it

I exchanged my first EVO LTO for frequent reboots at a Sprint Corporate store, 2nd one perfect!
On my third LTE. Should have kept the first one. Hope the new shipment BB gets is better than the ones they had last week.
First LTE: Dust under glass and slight light leakage
Second: Pixel stuck in on position and screen has the flex/ripple issue when under medium pressure
Third: Has flex/ripple issue as well and wifi on this one and 3 G has been worse than the first two
Next shipment comes in Friday. Crossing my fingers for a GOOD one!
My first was light leakage and second was ripple and all I can find around here all have the ripple, hope this goes away in the upcoming batches...

Omg I would switch to another phone after the first one Wtf is wrong with you guys. There are more superior phones oops did I just say that yes I did.
I had to return my first one as well. I was not getting calls txt or voice mails. Data worked find but nothing else.
exchanged it at best buy, and all my messages came through right away.
I suspect that it was not a phone issue but an activation issue.

You mean like the Galaxy S3, the phone that will have zero problems on launch day? Good luck. My first Evo had a bad pixel, and I am waiting on the replacement. I was going to get the SG3 instead, but after reading the UK SG3 threads, there are a lot of issues. I decided that the Evo is best for me. Whether it is superior or not is subjective.
Yeah, as stated above, it will have issues. Hell, go to the S3 forums here at xda and review the complaints of various folks.
In the end, my EVO is imperfect, but as usual with HTC, software updates will fix these annoyances, so I'll be patient.

I'm guessing you didn't have their Touch Pro? I went Samsung after that. That being said I will never buy another Samsung phone, they don't support their phones for ****. I'm with you though I'll take the minor data drops and wait out HTC patches and the much stronger dev support system..

It is amazing to have the chance to compare two different phones. I ended up unfortunately having that experience after I dropped my brand new EVO LTE in the toilet. My first phone I noticed that it didn't auto dock on my car dock even with the option turned on.
Haven't tried the camera on the new phone but old phone seemed like it didn't take sharp pictures like I was expecting but ones that were more out of focus than really blurry.

Alright, so I finally broke down and got the WiFi adapter for my Xbox off eBay. They are still pretty expensive used, I paid $42 and that's a good deal for the genuine Microsoft ones.
Anyways, I'm having issues getting it to work with any app I try. It will connect to my phone, one time out of 7 it will connect to internet, but never to Xbox live.
I get horrible data at my house so I'm thinking ill take it to work tonight and test it there. Usually get maybe 8kb/s on average. Once got 1.4 mb and was hoping it would stick, but sadly, no.
Anyone with experience tethering have any advice, apps that have worked for u, settings to try, etc.? I know about the generic ics mode.
Alright, so not all at once. I know everyone is going to flood this thread as soon as I submit! Lol. Thanks for helping a fellow XDAer out!
Clear out Sprint's proxy settings if you haven't, something in their network blocks a lot of xbl content and multi player
Where is it at? I was trying to clear the NAT settings, but can't figure out where it is. It doesn't matter if sprint limits me. I got it working and highest tether speed I can get is 500kbps. Pretty sweet to me. Wasn't expecting to do multi-player until LTE comes this winter sometime.
Then ill really be sticking it to my friends on Verizon! Lol. How's that limited data plan doing ya? I did 50 terrabytes last month, haha!

I was saying once we get LTE I can do that. Xbox live multiplayer burns a lot of data. I'm sure u could do some significant usage in a month.
Today, downloading updates for dishonored, madden and Xbox maintenance I downloaded 50 mbs. That's with pretty bad 3g (3kb-500kb/ps).
I played regularly and never even crossed 50GB, i was tethering on an old phone, I forget which but I was only paying 40 back when it was 60 and I crossed my limit every month, not once did it go back up to 60 or did I get hassled for over use. I miss that, I averaged 20GB-50GB a month

Can't u see using more when the speeds are 8mb/s and up? I don't even think about multiplayer now with frequently lower than dial-up speeds.
Unlimited data is unlimited data. Or it is supposed to be. I don't plan on being like the boys on southpark in the wow episode, playing online 24/7. I hate call of duty now and that's really the only type of game on Xbox u can really play like that.
Although having my mom bring me the diarrhea bucket and hold it to my ass while I'm playing is tempting. Have to fly her down from cincy so its probably not worth it.
U guys tried playing nonstop for days on end? Last time I did it was for GTA: San Andreas. Played it for 3 days on maybe 4 hours sleep and eating only hash browns and hot pockets. Only got up to use the bathroom. Awesome game for the time though. Actually called out of work that week as well. Had "pneumonia". Got my friends mom to write me a doctor's note since she was an RN or something.
Stopping the endless rabble. Sound like grandpa Simpson.
Well back then it wasn't unlimited data, Sprint capped at 5GB and I not only crossed the limit, I destroyed the limit

I highly doubt you played gta for four days, and its insulting too me and the few others who hold the guiness record for longest gaming session on android. The diarreah quote, ok funny, but no need too exaggerate, i have insomnia and its a really messed up thing too have and i k ow a regular person couldnt do four days without drugs, especially considering the xbox world record is like 36 hours... liar.
I miss the endurance challenge I used to go to. Big competition once a year, 2 weeks long and once your clan was in you played nonstop until your clan was eliminated or your clan was too exhausted. The last 2 clans standing would go at it to determine the winner. Then we got awarded most kills, longest playtime before respawning, highest scores etc. They had this big ass water cooler shaped and painted to look like a bottle of Bawls Guarna. Tony finally shut down in 2007
Calling me a liar of a stupid Xbox game? I did play it for 4 days. Go duck yourself. Maybe fell asleep playing it and I wasn't on drugs thank u.
Sorry I don't give a chit about Xbox guineas records. I could do it again and put it on YouTube? U believe me then?
Actually xbl only uses up to 50 mb/hr. This is rather small because you can download 3-4 apps off the market for that much.
I wouldn't abuse the lte signal when you get it, or you'll find yourself excluded from the sprint network. Also you'll be hogging the bandwidth from that tower, so everyone else on sprint in your area will get slower speeds.

Well technically that stick is owned by sprint and can be used against u in any gaming competition sponsored in part by Xbox live. Any attempt at breaking the endurance challenge will resort in stick being reversed into the space time continuum. Thus, molecular fusion is supplanted into a black hole in which deep space sucks up 1tb/s resulting in your contract being TERMINATED!
In any event you summon the Terminator to your legal team Apple will sue you for copyright infringement. In which any case the judges will be bought and you will lose your soul to Satan aka Steve Jobs incarnate.
Thanks for choosing Sprint and the Next Year Network. Have a Happy Hanukkah! Muhalo!

+1 xbl hardly uses any data. My gold subscription expired back in April haven't needed to renew it yet, but used it for almost 2 yrs on og EVO and it never used that much data, I would venture and say 50 mb per hour might even be on the high side
I really hate Microsoft right now
Yup played halo 3 a while back at my friends brothers apartment and he didn't have internet yet so I popped out my og WiFi tethered that bish and started owning people. Anyways when we were playing it didn't really use that much data and we didn't even lag (I was surprised)

For water resistance is better the m4 aqua
And when the phone is overheating, you can put the phone in cold water hehe :silly: [emoji23]
It doesn't heat up to the point that is unbearable. But it does heat up. And don't dunk the phone inti water after it has heated. You risk cracking the screen.
Immediate contraction and expansion for glass substrate is bad.
Actually I need to know about the overheating issue Gone after the update?? Or at least normalized or reduced?? I am planning to buy this device so please let me know more about the device. Thanks in advance.
Which update do you mean? Well it does overheat, but it´s not bad and you mostly won´t feel it because it heats up in the NFC area just above the index finger while you hold it. Overally, it´s acceptable and you can warm your hands during the winter

My advice is don't buy, I got the device from T-Mobile, and when playing any simple game it heats up and then it restart on it's own, after restarting i lose my installed apps and get only generic icons that some of them you can not remove unless you reset to factory default. I am planing to take it to service to check the issue, and I had the phone for only one month.

Strange, this never happened to me, never hear that problem before, it may be an isolated case.

I recommend , heating as said by others is not much, device performance is very good, and with a software update to 5.1.1 or 6.0 will make it better , 5.0 is a bit buggy in comparison to the new versions (after all it was the first version of lollipop ) , but it's good .
Does turning off nfc solve the m4 aqua heating problem?
This guy says so.

I've had it since release and ya she'll heat up... I used to have GSAM and it wasnt nothing for it to get upwards of 120° if say you were on fb then took some pictures and then played Clash of Clans...
Now I've since, very recently I might add got rid of a bunch of phone monitoring crap ie GSam, CCCleaner, Greenify, Cleanmaster as well as a few unused apps so all I have in that category is Better Battery Stats and let me tell you the phone runs smoother and alot cooler all the time!!!
There's a reason all these monitoring apps have to have special permissions and special side apps to allow them to work with the new version of Android.... Bc Android doesn't need them anymore! That's why they made it so hard to install those apps but those app creators won't let it go. So do yourself a favor and clean your phone up people, Android is optimized these days to take care of itself.
And yes buy the phone its the best phone I've ever had!
