So far I love the phone. The feel and weight of the phone just seems better then my Captivate(which I gave to my wife). After not getting data on the phone unless I had WiFi on kind of sucked, but if you make a new network. You will be able to gain data back.
The only thing I am not liking is when I set up my HTC sense with Facebook, it put all my friends from facebook into my contacts list in my phone. I do not want all my friends on the list. I have tried and figure out how to delete from the list but cant figure it out. Anyone know how?
I also side loaded a few apps using the SLW program, once you download HTC sync on your computer it was easy.
I cant wait until this phone gets rooted so I can go in and change some stuff around, like ringtones. You can have custom ringtones when the phone is not plugged in to the USB but once you plug the USB in, it reverts back to the stock ringtones because it thinks shuts off your SD Card. Well you know what, I guess I can have the option to only have it charge will plugged in. That might work.
Other then that me loves the phone. Glade my wife had an upgrade so I could get the phone for $79.99 from Costco and a free charger with it. She loves my old Captivate so I was like hell ya ill trade ya!
Ha I love it...got a feeling alot of wives will be getting a captivate tommorow

I have the Evo for sprint which should be similar. Open your People/contacts app, hit menu, and you should see an option that says 'View'. Select view to choose which contacts you want displayed and deselect your Facebook account.

Ok so in the people and contacts it has my correct contacts. What am talking about is when you look at the phone on the homescreen you see the button that says phone. If you click on that it will show every one of my Facebook friends, even the ones they I dont have in my contact list. I dont want them there.
I haven't mentioned to my wife yet... she's gonna wonder why the hell I'm getting up early on a Sunday morning, probably think I'm having an affair, lol.

You are, with the Inspire 4G. hahaha
I dont regret it for a second, yeah no Real 4G but we have root, roms and radios NOW.
Also, for those that just want to install apps and leave the phone stock you can go to this thread created by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943174
The phone feels so polished and the screen is awesome, no Craptivate screen but it will turn heads.
We have accomplished so much in so little time.
Thanks to all the devs and porters out there, this is already a more than worthwhile device and for the price you can not beat it.
Atrix is just a bad memory of Motoblur hell, good luck trying to even root that damn thing.. hahaha

Ok I know what you're saying, and I didn't even realized my phone did that until you just mentioned it. I didn't see a way to get rid of them either.
If this is bothering you because you have to scroll through so many more names to get to the contact you want to dial, have you tried the t9 smart dialer feature? Lets say you want to dial 'John', instead of scrolling all the way down to his name, just spell out his name via t9 (5 for 'j', 6 for 'o', 4 for 'h', etc). The contacts that match what you're typing will appear and you don't have to scroll through all the names. My Evo and other HTC sense phones do this ( stock android doesn't, but you can download other dialers in the market that do). If you already knew this and just don't want the names to appear, can't help you there.

I really, really like this phone. My ear speaker is great, although the external speaker is a little weak. Not a huge deal though, just had to select the high pitched notifications to be sure to hear them.

i went to check this out in the store today. a few thoughts
-size is great. i compared it to my nexus one w/seidocase and it is only slightly larger... like less than a .25" larger in width and length
-weight is great. very comparable to n1 w/case
-sense 2.0 looked pretty slick.
-very fast... zero lag.
-my only stickler was the screen. i could see the "grid" dots on the display unit. is this typical of slcd?
Love it already and havent had it 5 hours yet, beats my old htc surround hands down.
This kicks the captivates ass all around, even unrooted with stock rom. Soooo glad I pulled the trigger... nice to have a decent exchange email client as part of the basic package (sorry touchdown, but the integration is a big plus... I hated the separate address books).
The more I use my phone the more I realize everything works and works well.
Have installed pretty much everything there is and it plays or runs them without a hiccup.
Obviously the only apps it will not run are the ones that require root. My plan is to do this very soon so I can take advantage of those as well.
Every single game I've installed is smooth with no lag.
Emulators work with zero issues, my plan is to try the the psx one next.
You can not measure the battery life right away, it has to get used to a few charges first. See the Desire HD forums and they will say the same.
I've made some calls and can say that it sounds great, I've tried both the loudspeaker and the ear speaker and both sound fine to me.
Obviously the small speaker will not be that loud especially at first. Still planning to use DSP Manager to see if it fixes it.
I've still to try out the gps while moving in the vehicle as well.
Build quality is very satisfying and is what's expected from HTC.
Where I had trouble getting 3G I am now getting a constant H+ according to the phone.
What else can I say I made an excellent choice and with the Sideload Wonder Machine, root, radio and custom ROMs there's room to make this phone even better with those options.

So I've had the phone since 4pm yesterday. I use uptime widget on my phones for kicks and to check for stability issues so I installed it right after I got it.
The phone was up for 7 hours until around 11pm when I rebooted it myself (to fix a unknown my phone number problem). It came up fine. 30 mins later it rebooted itself which i didn't think much of since I thought it was invoked by a SIM update. Since after the 2nd reboot it correctly showed my phone # in Status and my Messaging app, etc.
All is well, on the charger overnight, wake up this morning and use it everything is fine. At almost exactly 8:30AM while sitting idle/screen off it reboots again?!
Not sure if this is due to the tons of apps I have on or was again a network related reboot. I know in the past when I had GSM phones, the carrier can definitely initiate a reboot due to a SIM update. Having it happen at exactly 8:30AM seems bizarre. It's super fast and no lag or crashes otherwise.
I'm going to use it more today and keep an eye on it but just FYI. Anybody with it experiencing anything similar?

Could be because of me. I had Wifi Calling on both times and I had changed the network mode from the Auto default to WCDMA only. I'll get to the bottom of this, I'm sure
Check out this review of the GSlate by PC Mag. One of the cons is "occasionally reboots." I think LG has some 'splaining to do. This is their second device (third if you separate O2X from G2X) to suffer the problem.
Pros
First 4G tablet. Powerful Tegra 2 processor. Excellent HD screen, with HD output capability. Shoots and plays 3D footage (glasses included). Affordably-priced (after rebate) for 32GB capacity. Generally intuitive user interface. Dual-facing cameras. Video chat.
Cons
Default Honeycomb home screen feels cluttered. Flash 10.2 beta is buggy. Strange, off-center orientation for front-facing camera. Occasionally reboots, unprovoked, when idle. Android Market needs more Honeycomb apps.
Strange how LG could be causing this on both devices since they are both stock Android! My Moto XOOM with Honeycomb has it's issues as well because it's an early OS but having occassional reboots on Froyo 2.2.2 is not acceptable.
I'm hoping it's related to an app or something. Once more people get the phone we should be able to see if it's an isolated or widespread problem.
Its definitely not the LG's custom UI that is causing random reboots. I really hope its not the hardware!
Update coming soon hopefully?
http://translate.google.com/transla...alligevel-problemer-med-optimus-2x,lid.15324/
That's the 2X right? Doubt the same update will apply to us but here's hoping. Anybody else with a G2X having this? It could just have been me and the phone being provisioned. I've had it for less than 24 hours.
Lets not jump to conclusions just yet.. My phones have rebooted due to my doings, lets see if others have the issue first before blaming the issue on this phone too.
Just received my G2X today and have experienced the random reboot thing twice in about 3 hours.
Will keep an eye on it today and report back later.

New customer or existing? I know by saying I'm jinxing myself but it's been 7 hours so far without a reboot.
Were you on Wifi when it happened? Were you using Wifi calling? Let's start putting together a picture.

Don't worry me like this! My phone is arriving tomorrow! Also when you guys got your phones did you plug it in and let it fully charge before playing with it? I know it would be hard not to just turn it on...
Just rebooted again while I was walking the dog and listening to a podcast so first time while I was using it. I think it might have to do with GPS use. The CNN app I installed last night uses it a ton and I think it causes the issue.
Anybody else having this using CNN or another GPS heavy app.
I've turned off GPS for now. Before this reboot it had been up for 10h

For whatever reason turning off GPS has made the phone even faster. Maybe there's a bug or memory leak related to GPS? Here's hoping we don't get any more reboots.

A friend rooted my phone today since i don't know how. He said he left its rooted but nothing is flashed as far as roms. While browsing on my web now something very annoying is happening. Wether in landscape or portrait mode if i drag my finger on the edge of the screen on either side in zooms in and out instead of scrolling....is there a function that turns this off. It is driving me crazy.
Rooting wouldnt cause that to happen. What browser are you using? the stock one?
I believe it's a function under the motion settings
Sent from my VS920 4G using xda app-developers app
Yes i am using the stock browser. I did not see anything in the motion settings that revolves around what is happening. I also did not see anything in the browser settings that enables/disables it either.
The edge zooms in and out while touching the middle scrolls up and down. Tapping the screen also zooms in and out.

I dl the official jellybean update when it officially came out from vzw. I was not rooted then and i did not notice this at all. I only noticed it today after i was rooted. It is really annoying as my fingers mostly scroll along the edges of the screen. I use pinch to zoom and double tap. Is there a way to take it off? It is driving me nuts.
No you can't take it off as you can not change how an app uses a smartphone's touch functions. If its that big of a deal breaker for you then I don't know what to tell you as all apps have a set way to utilize the touch screen and not one of them have a way to alter the touch screen only the app itself. Also with all mobile phones there is no touch screen setting so if you want to drag your fingers up and down on the edge of the screen to scroll a website you will have to find a browser that utilizes that function.

But it didn't do it before i got rooted. He installed jellybean build 8 i believe and took it off cause the photos in the camera didn't work just the videos showed. I believe the build had a choice for the note 2 camera wich was chosen. None the less he brought it back to stock but kept it rooted.
Just talked to a friend on non rooted official jellybean release from verizon. His browser does NOT do this.

I think you're the only person that find it annoying as most don't see it as a big deal. That is mostly because a whole lot worse can happen to your phone and that isn't one of them. I have had signal issues,Wi-Fi issues,boot loops,sim card issues and even soft bricked my phone 3 times while rooting and flashing my phone. If you find your issue annoying then I can only imagine how you feel if you experience any of the problems I just mentioned. Your phone is functional as your friend did a good job rooting your phone you should checking for more serious problems with your phone.

Well in interest of this getting back on track have you tried to simply clear the app data for browser? Also check your phone status to make sure you ate on the official build and upper friend didn't just put another stock ROM on it to replace build 8, I'm assuming it was beans build 8

Cleared all app data and nothing. still doing it. Device status says modified...Build number jro03l.i535vrbli5 yes it was beans build 8.
Got the phone yesterday, and playing with it today, I'm noticing some issues with the phone that I hope can be corrected, because I'm kind of regretting the purchase.
First off, auto brightness turns itself off constantly. Every few minutes. Browsing facebook, twitter, etc and going nowhere near the controls, all of a sudden my screen with double the brightness for no reason, and when I check, auto brightness is unchecked in the pulldown menu. VERY annoying.
Opening links in Hangouts or Google Messenger to Chrome occasionally lags the phone out completely, or the click registers and does nothing.
I'm hoping that this is either a defective phone I can have replaced, or something fixed with a quick software update, but it's aggravating to deal with. Jumping from the Nexus 5 to a non-AOSP phone has me hesitate enough, and this isn't helping.
Edit: Just remembered, I turned off Samsung's keyboard and I'm using Google's official keyboard, and the Samsung keyboard keeps enabling itself! It's not actually switching to the Samsung keyboard, but I'm literally sliding the switch to "off", and it's sliding back to the on position on it's own accord.
Can confirm, auto brightness turns off automatically.

Do a hard reset. Chances are that all of the issues will be fixed.
Touch wiz lag is awful after installing all of my apps. I'm also wondering why I have to swipe to unlock even when it's set for just fingerprint.
Couldn't say anything about Touchwiz, as I'm using Nova Launcher. Only get lag when I'm clicking links, as mentioned. Going to do a factory reset and see what happens. I REALLY hate doing this without Titanium Backup, and Helium was buggy as all hell. For the initial setup, I ended up manually installing all the apps I had on my Nexus 5, which was a pain in my god damned ass.

I'm not rooting until they either confirm tripping knox won't affect Samsung Pay, or there's a way to root without tripping it at all.
So I just did a hard reset, and of COURSE there's no way to keep your storage intact when you reset (**** you Samsung), the device switcher won't work with the Nexus 5 (Again, **** you Samsung), and I had to redownload every app by hand. As much as we ALL hate Apple, iTunes backup & restore is SORELY needed on Android.

I'm not seeing much lag if at all, but I WAS seeing the issue with the Auto-Brightness, until I did a hard reset.
Battery issues are pretty bad, but it seems to just need a software update, or an updated radio. The Cell Standby drain is strong with this phone.
Of the lag I did see, my phone actually froze up, gave a snowy image on half the screen, then crashed. Only happened once, so I'm not worried (yet).
One thing that's annoying the hell out of my though: Swiping the notification shade down takes a few tries, and sometimes clicks dont register. I never experienced this before on other phones, but I've noticed it happens more when I hit things with the sides of my thumb vs touching it flat. very odd.

ONE person mentioned lag. ONE. Most people in that thread said they didn't see lag. but there you go saying "OH NO, Samsung has done it again!"
Again, it's not even released yet, the phone has bugs. RELAX and let this work itself out.
For the past three weeks or so I was torn between the M9 and the S6 (G4 is too big for my tastes), but in the end I upgraded to the S6 on T-Mobile this past Saturday from my trusty M8, thinking that the reported RAM and lag issues were minor.
After installing everything I previously had on my M8, I've already started to experience the horrible performance issues others have experienced.
Reading these forums, it seems like many people don't believe the lag issue exists (because theirs doesn't lag), but I'm sure it's dependent on your own smartphone usage. I usually have BT on, connected to BT earphones, my Fitbit Flex, and occasionally a Moto 360. Google Play Music is almost always playing music.
A common use case for myself is this: when I go for a run, I put on my BT earphones, play my favourite playlist, and track my run in my Fitbit app. My M8 handled this scenario well, albeit with some minor stuttering, but overall it was highly usable.
Fast forward to my brand new S6. The same scenario CRIPPLES it.
Here's a video demonstration of what happens.
This is only one common use case among several, in which I've experienced terrible lag or force closures. How Samsung can get away with this is infuriating. It's also mind boggling how not a single media outlet experienced/reported this issue in their reviews.
At this point, I'm deeply considering exchanging this with the M9. Luckily, I'm still within my return window with T-Mobile. I'm incredibly disappointed, since otherwise this would have been a fantastic device.
By the way, I'm running stock T-Mobile, which is on 5.1.1.
Try clearing cache with cache cleaner app. Or flash 5.1.1 via odin.
Try installing the newest android system webview.
It's newer than the play store, once I installed, all my lag problems disappeared.

And then you are complaining there is lag?
Perhaps you could remove all of the stuff you loaded, then start from the beginning testing as you go to see what it is you loaded that caused the lag.
Just because you used it on the M8, doesn't mean it will function the same on the S6.
Making a bunch of changes and then discovering you are having issues makes it pretty hard to figure out what caused the issues.
Wow! If you had not posted the video, I wouldn't have believed it. Crazy lag.
Can anyone else replicate this lag dng the same as on video?I wonder if it's just your phone that's behaving this way....
Never had lag like this even when streaming music through Bluetooth and playing GBA emulators at the same time. And I'm still on 5.0.2. I suggest a factory reset. And then as you install apps, one at a time, see if certain ones are bogging down the device.

Perhaps you could remove all of the stuff you loaded, then start from the beginning testing as you go to see what it is you loaded that caused the lag.
Just because you used it on the M8, doesn't mean it will function the same on the S6.
Making a bunch of changes and then discovering you are having issues makes it pretty hard to figure out what caused the issues.

Funny, that is exactly what I expect. In fact, I expected it to perform even better because of the spec bump.
I don't actually have that many apps, and the apps that I do have are not many. I will try a factory reset later, but having to test this out one app at a time is incredibly time consuming and should not be necessary. I've never had such a problem with any of my previous devices. My Note 3 is actually running really well still.

Try installing the newest android system webview.
It's newer than the play store, once I installed, all my lag problems disappeared.

Thanks it's like chrome and Flipboard just came out of hibernation since I tried this [emoji106]

He has MANY apps running and not clearing them will lag up the phone, ignore the troll guys.

That's actually offensive. I didn't spend over $800 on this phone so I can complain about it being laggy. I spent this amount because it was supposed to be the most powerful, and hence should not have this problem.
Constantly ending apps every time you want to use your phone for something is ridiculous. The phone should be able to manage this properly, like many other phones can. I can deal with slight lag or stuttering, but to be rendered completely unresponsive is unacceptable.
By the way, I just removed all apps and reran the same scenario, with the same result.

Honestly I never experienced this lag and im sure neither have 60% of the members here. Take it back to where you bought it and ask for a new one... you might of got a defective batch.
God damn this is hilarious... It has absolutely nothing to do with the phone but how many freaking apps you have open and running in the background, your battery life probably sucks balls too. Try Greenify from the play store and go look at the DHA Tweaks in the original development forum.
edit: if that doesn't work, your phones defective.
Obviously there's something wrong with your phone. No one's using their phone with this kind of lag, and just shrugs it off.
Get it replaced... Why make a thread just crying about it.
@djbutter okay I tested for myself using the fitbit app to track my run and streaming music from Google play music and there IS LAG. The fitbit app seems to use an ungodly amount of RAM on this phone when the fitbit tracking is going on and it will slow the phone to a crawl with the more apps you use/open. I've experienced no lag otherwise.
Sorry if my previous post came off as harsh. IMO this needs to be fixed by fitbit as the app uses too many resources on the S6.

This is actually great news, because it implies that it's app-specific, and I don't have a defective unit which others have suggested (not-so-politely). Thanks for testing it out.
I also feel like Google Play Music, Hangouts, and/or Bluetooth are messing with my phone's performance.
It's not that my phone is consistently lagging, it just seems to take a huge performance hit when I'm suddenly doing multiple things at once.

Google play music hasn't been so bad for me, but I've disabled a lot of other Google apps because they can be resource hungry. Chrome is particularly bad.

There are several threads about this already. Samsung really dropped the ball making the jump to arm64. Apps that shouldn't use much memory are, and Google apps are the biggest issue. I have had issues with Swiftkey since I got the S6, so much so that I've stopped using it. I get the impression you're not into rooting really, forgive me if I'm wrong, but there are bandaid solutions for some of these issues floating around. I've personally been messing with the memory management on this phone for months and while we haven't found a real fix, depending on your useage some of the things can help. Recently I realized the reason the phone comes to a screeching halt like you're showing is because the swap is full. Once the swap gets full it hammers performance. I've been making swap bigger which really seems to help in conjunction with other various tweaks. Like I said, no fix but definitely helps.
