Someone should make a thread for users to post their times to vs.
The main reason I bought the Xperia Play was for this game as it chugged too much on my Desire. A little disappointed to find out that DD:FW doesn't support the hardware controls, so be prepared to pay $10 for DD:SW.
Since installing DD:SW I'm loving the hardware controls, so much easier to play (and no falling off). Not played online yet, so can't comment on the number of players there.
I must say I was a little concerned that I was buying a non-dual core device but every game has run perfectly so far. Not run any benchmarks yet but DD runs sweet on this device.

this is the thing i have a quad core sitting in my pc does it utilize it? nope!
I came from a Samsung galaxy S supposed to be better is it? nope!
great having a dual core phone, but why? worse battery and performance you cant really use. IMHO the play works just fine all games run sweet and that's why i have it, when the systems go down at work (weekly) i pick up my play and waste a few minutes genius
Just a quick question. Does anyone notice that the camera angles in first wave and second wave are different? Like in first wave it's a little more over the shoulder and second wave is more top down. I find it hard to play second wave cuz I can't see the enemies far away. Thanks in advance.

Haha forgot to mention that I did try pressing sel a few times but it just makes it more "top-down" perspective. What I meant was that the camera angles are actually different between first and second wave and I can't get second wave to have the same perspective as first wave, no matter what options I change.
2nd wave is top down only.

It's a great game but it does get to be laggy at times, especially when a lot is happening, like when a lot of enemies appear or if you have a lot of towers in one area and they all start shooting at once.
I agree about the camera angles, it is a bit annoying not being able to see that far away, especially on bigger maps.
Except for that, love the game
Great to see ppl actually play online. I got bored playing on my own, specially on some of the levels where it rains the TNT mobs!
Anyway was thinking about trying to set up a weekly game? thinking every Sunday at 6pm GMT - this should allow most people from different time zones to play, most of Europe and the US should be able to get on.
Anyone up for that?
I went to play online and magically I went up to level 20 from 5 XD
Evening guys
I was wondering if there was a way to bind the android keyboard to its own home screen so that you are ready to text just by flicking the page (messag centre opens and keyboard pops up), as we all know the feature is on the iphone but thought it would be pretty dam awesome to have it on android. Can it be done?
Sorry if this has been asked before i had no time for a proper search, off to meet the wife from work lol.
Thanks in advance
...iphone....
facepalm
Could be possible but it would require a lot of code-writing andwon't be done in a day..........It's a Great idea....Maybe you can develop an app like that
Lol, i know... i know dam iphone, i dont like them at all tbh, i just like that idea of skipping to a page to start composing a message, and im surprised it hasnt been done yet. But yeah it would prolly take ages to develop and be a real pain. I myself havent the first clue about anything like that, hell im lucky i managed to get my phone rooted by myself the other day lol, i just love android and its customization.

Now that it is official I am not sure if it is the device that is getting me excited or all the hype around it. I really like the idea of the larger screen and super thin body. Wish it was qhd though. I guess with every good thing comes a bad thing......
Thinking the only way to get it without spending money is to add a line, cancel my 3D's line and sell the 3D on Craigs list. That should cover the both costs.......Anyone know what Sprint's max cancelation charge is?
Like I said, just thinking about it now and would like to hear what others are planning on doing. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a flame war......Just looking to see if people jumping ship have a better way to get there then what I was thinking of doing......

The SGS II will only be a good phone because of the Dev support. Samsung has a hard time updating the software for some reason. Gingerbread hasn't even been rolled out to the original Epic for god's sake.

Hopefully if we don't get trolls and people give there honest opinions this thread can stay open because I really want to see what people have to say and what they will be doing now that the device is official.
I have been with HTC for the past 5 years but if something better comes along I am not afraid to go....
Obviously no one has played with it yet but I want to know people's thoughts just based on the announcement and if they are regretting the 3D purchase....
Im all in, day one.

The epics an exception. They can't seem to get the keyboard and radio figured out. This is the reason all sgs2s will be the sane and not have a keyboard lol. You also have to remember that update fiasco had more to do with carriers than Samsung themselves. The sgs had their updates right on time. I'm also curious about the op question. I've always wondered what would happen to your handset if cancelled within the first 6 months.

MOD EDIT: Goodbye
Well i guess it depends on you, I like a thinner device and i know it will have a better camera but I hatethe cheap feel of Samsung devices and.the updates , gingerbread is over nine months old and nothing official for the epic, so what would make me think they will get it on time on the second.device, same thing goes with the photon MOTO devices rake forever to update, that's why I stick with the EVO 3d but all 3 phones are great phones

Well, google didn't have much luck with the nexus s at first either Hence their nickname the Nexus B lol
I won't lie the, gs2 is a beast of a phone. I also think the E3D has been underutilized so far though, this phone has a lot more potential than it gets credit for. Plus the Evo was updated to gingerbread around the same time the epic was getting froyo, it would have came before but HTC waited for gingerbreak to be patched before pushing the update.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I hate to admit it as I have been a die-hard HTC fan, but, as far as my experience is concerned (on 3rd E3D) I think they really botched this flagship. YMMV, of course.
So long as the SGS2 has a radio that is as good (read: no weaker than) the E3D I'll be happy. The Radio on the NS4G was pitifully weak, the E3D is no better...even after a few. I can live with this. The signal strength indicator can't be trusted on it's own, go by actual measurements and most importantly missed/dropped calls and roaming....and I miss and drop and roam more than ever. It sucks. I do love this phone. I will greatly miss the qHD.
I became fine with the uber-weak radio, but, the final straw is the increasingly bad power-on fiasco. Sometimes it does, some times it doesn't. Some times it will be plugged in with a green light locked up tight (requiring a battery pull and SD card pull) *AND* have a dead battery on top of it. It's at the point where I have a backup alarm set up. Yeah yeah yeah, if I need an alarm clock USE an alarm clock...well, no other phone ever gave me any issues, so, I'm going to say that it is not unreasonable to expect my phone to A> turn on and B> charge while plugged into the charger.
I've tried hard, I do love this phone...even the horrid form factor has really grown on me. But I barely use the 3D enough to really miss... I may keep the E3D, it is a rather unique phone, but, SGS2 here I come....Also, aside from touchwiz (which is easily disgarded) it is a nearly stock Android experience....and Samsung has Cyanogen on their payroll. That can't be bad.
I will miss you guys, I'll be back to visit though. It has been fun.

Honestly, I think its more insecure when somebody has a decent phone and has to make a thread asking for their peers/competitions approval to get the other phone. Btw, I have a nokia 1100. Do you think I should upgrade to the nokia 6630?
I voided my warranty and your mum.
The reason the new phone does not appeal to me that much is because it is WIDE -even wider than the Evo 4G. And taller too.

I see it more like asking the opinions of people you consider knowledgeable on the subject. You'd be a fool to not ask people who are very familiar with something when considering whether to buy it or not....especially when it's such a relatively pricey gadget. Take it as a compliment that someone (may) respect your opinion enough on the subject to take your advice to heart.
We are a community here. I doubt any of us actually give a crap of another approves of one another in a social context, especially when starting a thread like this (so long as it isn't obviously trollbait).
For the life of me i don't know why you won't take this into the correct forum...at this point you are trolling and trying to cause a flame war..go back to the Samsung website and dry hump a pic of the gs2 ..i mean its specs are unprecedented..a 1.2 ghz dual core...whoaa.. a gig of RAM? Holy moly...a wvga screen..omfg... This thing ****s on everything...there is nothing else like it..I bet it will load up webpages a third of a.second faster than the e3d and that is very important..mods pls get rid of this rush guy..he's been causing trouble for hours and its getting on everyones nerves
You guys know that instant feeling of anger, shame, befuddlement you get when you see a trailer for a movie that has already been made 2 times before?
And like... The 1st one wasn't good to begin with but it got a lot of "views" so they keep doing it...
Over

Imagine that, this thread reminded me of those crappy remake movies.

Are you serious? Its a phone that hasn't come out yet, and at that, it just a variation of a phone that is out with a bigger screen. Seriously? I could be real mean here but I wont. Guys do you think I should get the pink shirt with BIGGER yellow stripes?

I just totaled my car about an hour ago and my skyrocket took off like a rocket into a creek so it is no more.....not sure if I'd get another one now im thinking note or wait for S3 thoughts ?
Get your car fixed first!
I'd stick with SR, note and S3 are too big for my liking.

S3 isnt really bigger, just longer and a little thinner but hey its a "new" phone and the community is huge on the other side as well so either one is good. Of course the S3 is newer and will have more features so with that aside its all about preference from that point as both phones are good.

First, go to a doctor if there is any nagging pain/issues after the accident
I'm assuming you are ok since you are posting on XDA but better to be on the safe side.
Second if the accident is not your fault (Or if you have comprehensive insurance) put pressure on the insurance company for the value of you car AND it's belongings including your $600+ phone
If the accident is your fault, or your insurance is minimum coverage, check kijiji or craigslist for a used one at a good price. There is always a (wannabe) isheep who cant handle the power of a droid.
thanks guys for all the kind words I'm fine just split my shin open on the steering wheel but I've had way worst injuries than that....my brother has never been in a car crash and the air bag did a number on his hand but we are both fine......but my baby there is no fixing her she is done! I feel so ''out of reach'' without my phone and it hasnt even been 2 hours.

Whoa. How does that happen? sure you didnt mean "chin"? And as stated, insurance WILL cover cost of personals

Glad to hear you are ok. That's the important part.
As far as phones go, the note is borderline garbage. Had one and it was just a bigger slower SR that came with a pen. S3 is you need the latest release, but honestly I'm going with a Google phone next time. AOSP and timely updates are more important than new add on software to me. I always end up flashing AOSP anyway so why not just go straight there.
Just my couple of pennies worth.

Thought it was general. derp. Glad you're okay though. Oh and get a S3.
Im glad your ok. I had the note, I liked the pen part of it, but it is just ridiculously big. It hurt my hands after a while of holding it, it just looks silly when your talking on it, and it just felt awkward in my pocket. I exchanged it for the skyrocket and couldn't be happier.
Glad to hear you are alright man. I've had my fair share of crashes...mostly racing in the wrong place.
Get the sgs3 since the skyrocket was a loss. It's the logical decision at this point. It will be a nice little upgrade from the skyrocket but will still be familiar territory for you. Best of luck.
Glad you're ok dude

Agreed; if I were in your shoes I'd get the insurance replacement for $100 (or whatever it is now) and continue to wait for the next Nexus phone. That's what I've been planning to do anyway; no more phones on contract for me.
Seriously bro, the good news here is that you and your brother are largely unscathed. Car accidents can be pretty serious; I remember when I got rear-ended in my Dakota and the entire bed had to be replaced. The cab was largely okay, but I hurt for a day or two afterward. Can't imagine being in a wreck like yours.

Gentlemen and ladies, just wanted to thank everyone here for helping me make my TB last as long as it did. I had posted many a noob question and everyone was very helpful in answering those goofy questions. I have migrated to the 8X, and will miss seeing all the stuff everyone keeps coming up with!
Just wanted to thank everyone who lended a helping hand!

I can't understand why people are jumping ship, the Thunderbolt is a GREAT phone and, with the right ROM is all anyone would ever need!
I'm sticking with it for two reasons:
1. because it's so perfect that nobody could ever wish for a better phone and
2. because UPS didn't deliver my Galaxy SIII today. It should be here tomorrow.

What do you plan on doing with the old Bolt? IF you are going to make it a paper weight might I ask for it. Mine lost the top half of the screen and the ear speaker is out. Not good when unemployed so looking for a free phone?
Thank you,
Even though I jumped ship to a DNA, my use of the Thunderbolt is not over. It now serves as my music player and as a GPS unit. It is now more convenient since having 1 phone and using it for GPS, it would be a pain when you get a phone call and then you end up lost or whatever. Now I can answer my calls and speak my texts as I'm driving with my DNA while still being able to navigate. So for me, my Thunderbolt is still very much active.

I have a friend here who also was a TB user, he went with the S3 also, and really loves it. So I think its a learning curve, new setup that you will get used to. I am still trying to figure out just how I want my start screen set up, keep changing it. Eventually I will stop. Or die, whichever comes first!

Yea, like I said, my biggest issue is actually the camera button, I give it a love tap everytime I grab the phone. Thankfully its not an instant on, otherwise that would be a problem.
Its good to see though, that even with this minor (I believe its a minor) issue, its still a great phone. There is no way you can make the location of the buttons perfect for everyone since were all built with different fingers and hands.
And I didn't keep the TB, sold it back to Verizon for 33 bucks, and with the 8X on sale for 99, its nice to only pay 66 bucks for an over 500 dollor phone!
AND I think I FINALLY have the start screen where I want it. Now just have to figure out how to reduce the size of all my songs. With all the songs on, I maxed out the memory. Surprising, its still wicked fast with only 30mb free! WoopWoop!

Copilot is an app I use, but there are many others. You can pay anywhere from 10$-50$ depending on quality. I find copilot is a good mix of price, performance, quality. It's only been wrong twice in the few years I've used it.
