Otherwise a very reasonable ringtone would be HTC's Quietly Brilliant ringtone, it's distinctly recognizable without being grating on the ears.

There's an alternate, but it was on Megaupload.

Make sure you do a thorough check of every aspect of your phone as soon as you get it. Check for dead pixels, do full black and full white screens to check for screen defects(yellowing and spots), screen artifacting(sign of SoC damage)/touch sensitivity going out, and double check that all antennas are fully working by doing checks on reception (you might want to get another known working phone to compare), make sure GPS reception locks on to less than 30 feet accuracy in clear skies without obstruction to a view of the sky, and that the SnR ratios for GPS satellite reception is acceptable. In this case I'd be a bit stricter in terms of tolerance for antenna reception, as a sealed unibody doesn't have to deal with potential loss of contact with antennas.

Edited:

Things that are not a defect: Rattling near camera or around volume keys, it should be faint and it is usually either the volume key slightly moving around or the autofocus unit in the camera.

One more way to function test: Elixir is an app on the market that lets you test all the sensors available. I'd go through all of them one by one to make sure that they work properly, and you may want to turn on all sensors to see if there's no issues when trying to use multiple ones at the same time.

Edited:

tl;dr you bought a flagship device make sure that it's flawless, don't settle for less.

Edited:

I also suggest that you avoid 3D gaming at all cost until an OTA comes out, currently there's some significant overheating issues that will be problems in the long run.

Yes Hunt3r, it's a phone

Was the alternate like 16 seconds long? Because I just checked and that's what I have. Link in case anyone wants it.

This one could get pretty hilarious.. or awkward.. in certain situations.

AT%T has two versions of Galaxy S II, one is a hundred dollars more because it has LTE. Is that worth it? I'll be living in an LTE area before the contract ends.

LTE is a powerhog if I'm not mistaken.

Ask yourself if the extra 100 dollars is a good investment for your usage.

Will you be using LTE that much, or can you survive with HSPA+ speeds?

It really is. However, it is amazing for more bandwidth heavy applications like Netflix or Youtube or any other large downloads where 3G really struggles. And tethering as well. At least on Verizon LTE phones, you can enable and disable it whenever you feel like it, so I'm sure you can do the same on other carrier's phones.

However, the difference is far more significant on Verizon phones, since its EVDO 3G (~1 Mbps) vs LTE 4G ( ~30 Mbps). You might be perfectly content with HSPA+ since even that is magnitudes faster than EVDO.

SwiftKey 3 beta
Swype (takes a while to get used to the "drawing" of the words, but once you get the hang of it you can write novels with your thumb. on the go, anywhere. at any time.)

Best custom ones out there in my opinion.

Swype came default on my SGP and I'm currently on SwiftKey trial.

Default alongside the Samsung Keyboard

[iCole]

The default Swype is usually outdated as hell. If you're rooted you can get rid of it and install the new version which has a lot of improvements.

Just saying.

Seems odd that it doesn't update via Play Store like the other default apps.

[djjkxbox360]

It doesn't update from the Play store because it's not on there (or wasn't the last time I checked)

[iCole]

Correct, for whatever reason, Swype team decided that they will not offer a normal downloadable version, instead make deals with phone manufacturers to build swype into the phone.
They only allow beta versions to be installed as a normal .apk (unless you already have the manufacturer version, then you either have to root to remove it or you're fucked).

Although one of the last updates added an autoupdate system, so once the manufacturers push an update, they MIGHT MAYBE include that version, so that would sort of eliminate this problem (a problem they've intentionally created).

Disagree, my stock swype (the nice blue one) is much, much better than the public beta one.

Theme-wise or feature wise? Because I think the prediction is improved a lot compared to the built-in Galaxy S2 Swype.

(although there was a beta version like 3-4 months ago that had a seriously broken prediction.)

Nah, unibody case. I even had to cut my sim card up for it to fit in.

Prediction on stock is better than the beta, for me. Also that dragon voice thing is a bitch that once spammed my notification bar with ads.

It's a paper thin horrible cardboard thing

[iCole]

that would make me think I'm getting screwed. looks like the most random box with a home printed HTC photo taped around it.

The Galaxy S2 box was simple, but had this cool color changing text that made it feel a bit more exclusive. This HTC's box is like "meh, here have a phone".

[VistaPOWA]

Are you selling your S2 now that you have a HTC One X?
