Could be software or just the simple possibility of the signal being fucked. Has it happened recently in that area or has it always been this way?

It could be like my phone, where in my room I get 3-4 bars over G/E, but only 0-1 over 3G/H, so it could be switching to the 3G network, which is faster, but doesn't have as much coverage
-
Guys, what's the highest temperature your phone has gone up to? My Galaxy S 2 went to 46 degree Celsius just from playing Fishing Joy. Does it have to do with my game?

Really good news. AND MOTOROLA CONTINUES TO BE AN EVIL BASTARD.

I like Android more and more and hate WinMobile. I didn't knew about a list of programs in the menu and that's why it had 2 websites running, giving me a huge bill and my provider to shut down internet service. Bah!

55+ Battery temp
Higher CPU temp
It was OC'd to 1.6GHz whilst web browsing on a warm day.....
-
I have a desktop fan solely for my GSII. It's hot outside so I use that fan when I charge, play, browse on the phone.
-
Didn't people always said never charge and play devices? Or did that only applies to PSP?
-
Didn't really mean charge and play at the same time :P.
-
Feels like my ear is burning while talking to my Samsung Galaxy S while it's charging.
But yea as said, i wouldn't play anything while it's on charger as that damn thing makes the phone go really hot.
-
Samsung has never had oversaturated colors on their devices. The only reason people thought the SGS was oversaturated is because they use TN panel monitors all fucking day. Anyone who uses a P-IPS monitor knows that they weren't oversaturated.
Where did you read the tab has oversaturated colors? I suggest you stop using them as a credible news source.
Edited:
Bootloader unlocking =/= unlocked bootloader. You choose to unlock it like the nexus devices. You'll get a nice permanent notification that confirms that it was unlocked, and you will never be able to get warranty services.

If I walk for a minute, I can see the tower from my house. My old phone (BlackBerry Bold), my brother's phone (Acer Liquid E) and my mom's phone (LG Xenon) all get perfect 3G reception in this house.
Considering it can jump around to full signal, it's definitely there and can pick it up, though maybe the phone has some weird power management thing going on. The phone was unlocked and the guy I traded the phone with said he used a code for it, if that makes any difference. Is there something that the process of unlocking with a code could damage?
-
It's because Rogers keeps adding people to their network without putting up more towers. People have been complaining about the Rogers network being so inconsistant for over a year now. Switch to Bell if you want good devices and a good network.
Edited:
Now if it's just your device. It could be the possibility that the radio is weak. My guess is that your device has a worse radio then the ones in your family members devices.
-
I'm not sure about Bell in your local area, but here, Bell has literally no reception. Most places, my friend even couldn't text off his Desire Z. He was FORCED to switch to Rogers because he couldn't even use his phone on Bell!
And I don't live in a city of 5000 people, I live in Victoria, the capital of BC, so that's not acceptable.
-
I go out west every year. My reception is fine in Victoria. Must be certain areas where there are lots of dead zones because I've never seen an issue.
Edited:
Looking at google I can't find any complaints about the issue you describe. Maybe you should be looking at filing a support ticket. People aren't going to fix issues unless they're reported.

GSII geek porn
I don't know how people can do this, even if I had a steady hand and an amazing memory, I would not dare do this.
-
I was thinking the GSII was a different phone because the first galaxy S was shortened to SGS :saddowns:
-
Yay, my thread is back :)
I just flashed a new 2.3.4 ROM to my SGSII (villainROM V2) and oh my god the battery life. It started going up! Obviously something a bit wrong there but it's good so far.
-
The weak radio might be the case, though it gets absolutely perfect 2G reception, which is kinda odd. The load on the tower is unlikely to be the case, since there's only a few thousand people in this area.
-
How would I save all of my apps and pictures and what not if I want to try a new non stock Rom?
-
Titanium backup
Pictures are safe
-
To the radio discussion: my signal changes a lot too.sometimes just when I tilt the phone.but out
it depends on which cell I'm in.in university I have full reception even in the deepest middle of the building and that are old russian military buildings.
Heavy walls.
-
Mine goes to 55c while listening to music in the car. Then it starts to lag like a bitch and shuts down, never to be turned on again until I put it in the fucking fridge.
I have a love hate relationship with my phone.

Well this is sure to boost their sales. It's fucking howard for gods sake!
Edited:
SGS II is the proper acronym.
-
Nexus S is here! It looks so awesome in it's box! Just have to wait a couple hours and I'll start the activation process!
-
fuck i cant wait to get my GT 10.1
samsung's touches such as the camera app and haptic feedback make this the best tablet out there, i cant wait for touchwiz
-
Touchwiz UX actually looks like a noticeable upgrade. Mini app tray looks kickass.
-
Lithium ion has no memory effect so it doesn't matter.
-
Everyone else I know in Victoria on Telus or Bell has been complaining too. My friend has horrible issues with her phone too, also he had his phone replaced and such before switching to Rogers because he had just taken on a 3 year plan so he tried to get it fixed.
-
Any recomendations on an android phone? I have a budget of £200.
-
PAYG or Contract?
-
SGSII just went in the bath. It's now in some rice.
-
I love my SGII to but not that much....
-
Well I guess the people out there are very stupid, because there have been no noticeable amount of complaints to Bell and Telus senior officers.
Why would you expect an issue to improve if you don't tell anyone with the ability to improve it that there is an issue?
-
It may be more of a heat issue. Lithium-ion batteries suffer capacity loss with heat. When charging, you create heat and when you play you create heat. When you play and charge at the same time you are creating more heat than when you do just one or the other.
This is pure speculation on my part I have never heard the don't play and charge at the same time thing.
-
Is the Xperia Play any good? Mainly looking to emulate on it and browse the web.
Edited:
I play and charge all the time, the battery on my phone is awful now
-
Data paired with theory.
-
Maybe a PS1 emulator. If you want games buy a Galaxy S II. Or a tegra 2 device.
