I joined sprint last year with evo 4g.. great phone at the time, minimal issues.. but I put up with it and I liked android to keep using it..
S2 came out, got excited, so I upgraded even though I had evo for only a year...
overall I like s2.. but I am just really disapointed that all basic functions I expect from a phone..doesn't work consistently... and i am surprised that not more people seem to stress about it.. we all acknowledge there's issue.. but everyone just seems to put up with it
GPS... sometimes lock quickly.. sometimes it takes minutes.. using the phone as a golf gps is a joke now because it's never accurate enough... my evo 4g was much better... and yes.. that's after i use gps tools to reset.. update gps.conf via root explorer .. etc etc.. and no.. rebooting everytime is really NOT a solution
Bluetooth... i paired it with my car... and when i get into the car.. it's shown as connected to my car.. and music actually streams to my car audio.. which is cool.. but somehow.. sometimes voice call will NOT get directed to my car's audio... and bluetooth button on the dialer will be greyed out... not sure if anyone else is having the issue
WIFI... every now and then... it will lose connection to my home wifi... a recycle of the wifi will fix the issue.. i never have any problem with my evo 4g.. and even right now.. my other device (iphone 4, ipad) all stay connected.. so i am sure it's not my router.. it's annoying
voice service.. i rarely get LOS..but i do occasionally.. and again.. there're fixes.. but it's just the basic function of the phone.. (i am getting less now after upgrading to EL13 modem.. but still)
3g/4g speed... this is sprint network.. and it's just getting worse and worse.. and i will leave it at that...because this warrants a much longer discussion
so in conclusion... ALL the basic phone functions have issues... i do want to love this phone.. but i am already getting quite annoyed by it..
is everyone else really going to put up with it?? or am i really unlucky?
