Iphone to Infuse

[dqlover4ever@yahoo.com]

Hello guys, thanks for all the info in this forum for the infuse 4g. it's been a big help. A close friend and i recently switched from iphone 4's to the new infuse 4g after the news about ios 5 being a bummer. we've had iphones since day one. i guess you can count us in on drinking the juice from apple. So far i love the infuse, android needs some more work but it's amazing from what it came from.hopefully 2.3 will be great... if we ever get it). My friend went back to his iphone 4 because he was having problems with his infuse (defective). which brings me to some questions i have....
1. will be get 2.3?
2. if we get 2.3 will it help battery life?
3. will it be more stable?
4. what things do you think android needs to be worked on?


... people who have had the iphone how do you deal with the battery life of your android? i have juice defender ultimate and it saves my battery x1.97 but still is a big difference from the iphone.

well from what i have seen it will be updated to 2.3 at some point, The Rogers version will ship with it in Canada, so its a matter of at&t pushing to our devices once it passes their testing. I would have to defer to our forum friends for the other questions, but i too switched from the Iphone 4 to the infuse and while it has been an adjustment i have gotten used to it, Today i had to factory reset it because something was causing it to freeze and was rebooting 1-2x a day, so far so good. The battery life is alright i guess, but needs alot of work. The most annoying thing i have discovered and was not an issue on iphone was notifications when playing music, it cuts off your music, plays the notification tone and then the music plays again. If someone has a solution to that please let me know. I also miss the boxcar app for twitter notifications, Notifo for Android kinda does the same but i wanted to be able to block the notifications during certain times...

Anyway hope this helps!

Welcome to the forums! As Stated, we will definitely get GingerBread 2.3 at some point. We might even have it leaked ahead of time for the advanced users to Flash before AT&T even releases it. It will possibly have TouchWiz 4.0 to. Which all of that will be better and it will help the battery a bit. But for the battery life, I use JuiceDefender Plus from the market. Its a paid app but I normally only have to charge the phone once a night now with that app.

I dont know how to stop the notifications from playing when your musics playing. It happens to me to. But I actually like it cause it lets me know if theres an SMS or Email that I recieved. Im sure if you turned the notifications off or turn Sync off while your playing music, that would stop Network stuff from coming in. Not SMS though, you can probably turn the notification off for sms's when your playing music. But that could be a pain to keep doing. Welcome to the boards! And welcome to Android my friend. So glad to see iPhone people switch over.

Instead of being owned, you guys now OWN with Android

A big reason for the shorter battery life is that you have a decidedly bigger screen on the Infuse. The screen uses up the most battery. Plus you have true multitasking on Android, not just an application switcher. As for Android OS needing a lot of work, personally, I think that Android has pulled ahead of IOS ever since Froyo. Android is definitely more feature packed. I wouldn't worry so much about Gingerbread. Its not going to provide a lot of new features and performance enhancements. Sure it will be nice to have, but it isn't something you should impatiently wait for. Enjoy your Infuse. It is one of the phones that I'm jealous I don't have. That screen looks great.

Thanks guys for your responses, i really do enjoy the phone a lot. It's alot more fun than the iphone!!!
i use Juice defender and get about x2 battery savings which is good. only thing i dont like so far is putting my music on my phone and having an error says it does not read this type of audio, looking up the problem ive seen that twitter screws this up alot, point being i've never had to deal with something like that with apple, i think samsung not fixing the problem is kind of a bummer. i understand that there's tons of apps for twitter but it's the fact that samsung put out a device that doesn't work with certain apps... maybe i'm being to hard but what do yall think?

That twitter issue sounds like a software problem, not a manufacturing problem. What audio format are you using? Android should play everything that iOS will, and more. I did load a few of my own tracks into the phone that won't play in .wav format, but I think that is really an in compatible bit rate issue. I think I exported the files at a higher sample resolution than the phone had support for.

Also, if you're not streaming audio from the internet, just playing it off your phone, juice defender plus has app specific settings so you could set it to turn off the data connections while your media player is running. That will stop all notifications except incoming calls and text messages from the regular sms app.

well i have a mac and the audio files that i use are aac or mp3.... i understand it's not a hardware problem but they really need to fix that kind of stuff on the software side... it's not that big of a deal for me since i can use another twitter app but i guess it's thought of samsung not doing that kind of brings a bad name to me.
