[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
not using the dns settings on remote vpn server.. thus name resolution not working.. same vpn and settings work fine on my sgs jpy..

anyone else have any thoughts.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudbynight:
Hopefully someone can help me with this.

I ordered a Galaxy S II with O2 on Wednesday. At the time I ordered they had a promotion on the website.

I got 600 minutes + texts + data for £32 per month. I also got a bonus 200mins a month for ordering online. At the time there was a promotion on a number of handsets and I was surprised to see this included the Galaxy S II.

These 200 minutes have not been added to my account and the promotion isn't on the website. O2 are now denying it ever existed.

Did anyone else get this extra 200mins for ordering online. I am looking for some sort of evidence to show to O2 to substantiate what I ordered.

I still haven't received an order confirmation
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottishlad80:
I never seen this when I placed my order
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudbynight:
It's gone now and been replaced with a Take That offer. It was on the website on Wednesday when I ordered.

Just flashed Incredibly Re-Engineered 2.4 on my DINC and love it!!! However, I am having one problem.

After I flashed (yes, wiped, everything! except /system which CWM doesn't let me do.) on first boot, I got an error msg to the effect that it can't "auto detect my country" or something.

So, I went to SETTINGS -> CALL -> NBPCD and try to select a country. There are no countries in the drop-down so tried adding "United States", "1", "011" by adding a new country. I get the msg,

"The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I saw similar issues on http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-791835-p-1.html and tried the step by getting a copy of the file phone_preferences.xml from Titanium Backup (from back when I had stock) and still no joy.

I also ran fix permission from ROM Mgr.

Because of this issue, I can't dial outside my area code! Please help!!!

Thanks!

Another Radio?

Hi, thanks. I did wonder if this might be my radio that's causing the problem. I noticed that all the files in /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_pref are owned by "radio" and belong to the group "radio".

Do you know where I can find older radios?

Thanks!

hello everyone, just got my sgs2, its totally awesome. im using my sgs2 and sgs1 side by side, first i did a speedtest.net test, my sgs1 got 6.5mbps, my sgs2 got 300kb. then i was like ew speedtest.net is being weird, lemme try the app, similar results, so i was like speedtest server is whack, lemme download a 1080p video from youtube.. and thats where i started to realize, side by side the two phones downloading the exact same 164mb video, the sgs1 finished 2 minutes ago, but the sgs2 is still at 41% ... the speed they downloaded the video was sgs1: 9300kbps sgs2: 1200kbps..

why is my sgs2 downloads so much slower than my sgs1?
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Does having a EU phone in USA might be part of the problem?
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
both my sgs1 and sgs2 are from europe, and both have the same bands
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
this is interesting, and hopefully not characteristic

did you try upgrading to latest fw via kies?

did you try swapping the SIM cards between sgs1 and sgs2 and testing that way?
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Ok...

If I was in this kind of situation, I would probably do the following (out of desperation) and see, if any help:

1) Swap sim cards between phones and see if it makes a difference,

2) Hard reset the phone,

3) Flash newer/same firmware using ODIN...

If this does not help, I (out of even bigger desperation) would start swearing and wait for others to come up with better ideas :)
[Galaxy S II General] samnada:
You are on ATT and not TMO, right? You don't mention anything about signal strength or whether you're getting H on the S2. Are they both set to Auto? Try setting the S2 to WCDMA only. I hope the signal strength on the S2 isn't so much lower that it's kicking down to GSM, with the S1 running 3G.

(sorry, just saw your ATT logo. ignore first ?) :)
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
yes both phones are AT&T

both phones are full bars of H, i live 8 houses down from the AT&T so my signal is as ideal as it could possibly be, normally my mobile ap is faster than my DSL, so signal isnt the problem..

ive set my S2 to WCDMA only, im going to do some speed tests now, will post updates in a few minutes

thank you all for helping me, i really hope this can be easily fixed <3 xda members

edit: well my speedtest.net results say 1.73 dl speed .21 upload, and 514 ping..

i passed my s1 down to my roommate, who has taken it off to work with her, so i cant switch sims..

im on the original firmware, do you think this matters?
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
Wait, you got 6.5mb on your SGS1? Is this the original SGS, or the new SGS 4G? I don't believe the SGS1 could actually go that fast - at least, mine never did...

I'm getting about 4-5mb on H+ (not H) on my SGS2 now, so there is no 1mb limit on the SGS2 or anything.
[Galaxy S II General] samnada:
That ping time is absurd. Try changing speedtest servers. You may have been accessing two diff speedtest servers on the two phones. But the movie DL speeds are so different that's not likely the whole story.

(In Speedtest you can choose "Settings" then "Change Server" to select one near you. Can make a big difference.)
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
that is a good point! did you enable GPS? Maybe the phone and speedtest app still think you are in the UK and speedtest is pulling data from there :)
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
yes with the sg1 hehe, the i9000 one, i live in a really prime location, i mean i could take a picture from my porch and you would see a big AT&T sign, with 5 dozen AT&T vans parked out in front. as far as 3g in the US, my speeds will beat anyones, just not on my s2 =[

and i love this firmware, it has so many languages built into the keyboard, vietnamese, AND japanese, two languages ive previously had to download additional keyboards for. will these still exist in the newer firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] ice_coffee:
I regularly got 4 mbps on Vodafone in the UK with my SGS 1, the phone was supposedly capable of 14.4 Mbps, but that was network dependant and UK networks did not support that speed.
[Galaxy S II General] Papi4baby:
If swapping the sim cards does not help, try calling ATT see if they can help you trouble shoot it, maybe it needs some provisioning tweaks to get just right.

Congrats by the way, I am holding onto my iPhone 3GS waiting on this phone. I might pick up the infuse see if I like it.
[Galaxy S II General] caffeinated chris:
my vibrant just about hits that.

as far as i know, the US versions of the SGS max out at 7.2mbps.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
definitely check the server. My SGS2 was running the speed test from a kansas server and i'm in nyc.

In terms of speed, it's very similar to my sgs1 except i've hit 4mbps+ a few times with sgs1 and i haven't with sgs2
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:

These include some of U.S. Cellular's leading markets such as Milwaukee, Madison and Racine, Wis.; Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, Iowa; Portland and Bangor, Maine; and Greenville, N.C."

I'm stoked about being part of the build out crew in a v1 market! Lots of work and training ahead, but man the payoff looks sweet!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
HAWT. I can get 4G in my current city, and when I visit my folks. :D

Have the gone into how it'll work if you're outside an LTE service area---just go back to 3G or something? Or will that really be by-device?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Probably what you will see at launch will be 3 devices: 1 phone, 1 tab, and 1 aircard. The phone will hopefully/probably be a 3 technology device, utilizing lte, evdo, and 1x. Don't quote me on any of that, but I can't imagine that there will be a whole lot more than that right away.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
My excitement for this is being dwindle by the horrible 3g speeds I've gotten the last few days. It's been so bad that even the Market times out before I can open my apps to check for updates. Last few Speedtest results have been 0.01 mbs. Pretty sure dial up was faster. Maybe with LTE I'll get 3g speeds?
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
damn right,,, cedar rapids for the win baby!!!

US Cellular just hsowed themselves as one of the smartest companies ever.

they install LTE in markets where no one else would.

i guarentee you... guarentee! that the USCC user base will EXPLODE once they get it deployed.

i am completely shocked that Verizon and Sprint never did anything in Des Moines, or even Omaha or lincoln.

but Cedar rapids, Des Moines and Davenport.. yeah baby.. yeah!!!

Verizon did announce a while back they are bringing LTE to Iowa City though.

I live in STL and we still don't have 3G. Glad to see they don't care. Needless to say I'm not holding my breath on 4G.
[Samsung Mesmerize] rrockstar.kidd:
I am hoping this also. 3g speed seems to get worse and worse the more people who join in. I thought maybe it was just me.

I see more dead phones in our future...we need a better battery power source if we don't start looking now were gonna be screwed

But all this comes with LTE and faster speeds
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
My tech had mentioned this to me a few months ago. I saw in teamuscellulars site that USCC has been testing the Motorola Atrix.

I have been eligible for an upgrade since last month, so I guess I will have to check the atrix forum and see if I really want to leave my mez and go that way.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
Dont forget the LTE phones will revert back to 3G/EVDO and 1X so they will still work in all markets, but not at LTE speeds. The upshot of this is that they will be selling LTE capable phones in ALL markets when they are available, however stock priority will go to the LTE Markets first.

The Rest of the markets will roll out next year and this is EXACTLY the same as we did for our 3G roll out a few years ago.

No matter what the naysayers say, the Atrix is in testing... right now...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
Theres some licencing issue in St Louis that is preventing USCC rolling out 3G there with the FCC.. it has nothing to do with USCC but the FCC and competing carriers.

Was told this on a training last week why it was still not 3G over there.

Sorry guys. Perhaps a letter to the congressman to push for it to be sorted??? You know how the Feds are, they will take forever until someone makes some noise..
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I hope they have other options cause Motorola does not excite me at all.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
I've had Motorola phones before and they were great, but not smartphones. I hear they have a lot of bloat in them and are a pain to mess with.

I'm sure I have plenty of time to research and see how they compare. My luck I will wait and finally break down and get it, then the next month they will release a better phone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
Motorola tend to be better in signal strength. All of the other Androids USCC has currently really suck for signal compared to my trusty old Blackberry Tour.

TBH I am more excited by the specs of the Atrix, Dual Core nVidia Tegra powered, the slew of accessories for it (The Laptop Dock is one I like). I just hope developers do jump on it and get it rooted though, as like has been already said, they put huge bloat on thier phones.

I will personally hold off till I see it (and that could be REAL soon as we have a meeting to go to so we can get some hands on with the new devices) and actually get to play with it. we have 24 devices coming between now and the end of the year and I only know of a handful right now. Im sure some of those 24 will be feature (standard) phones, and I am also sure some will not as well.

[Hero CDMA General] jxr94:
Lmao ok maybe that came off a little ignorant. What I was getting at is that I wanted to know if porting something would be easier if screen resolutions match. The obvious answer to that is yes. My ulterior motive was to put an idea in someones head if it wasn't already there. And in response to the first reply, no I don't follow the development section of this forum. As a senior member I should've searched. But if your going to ask a question (sarcastic or not) at least leave a question mark at the end. As for the second guy.... the wild fire port the first time had issues with resizing everything and the new wildfire s has the same resoulution of the hero so your comparison is stupid and incorrect.

Several input bugs I've found, maybe if this annoys anyone else some clever dev can fix them as they don't seem that major.

I'm on an HTC 7 Pro with the 7392 update.

I appreciate that WP7 autocorrects certain contractions. However, WP7 only corrects im to I'm when it is at the beginning of a sentence. If I type im on my hardware keyboard mid sentence it does not turn into I'm. Can this be fixed by a a dev or do I need to complain to Microsoft and HTC. I also don't know if this bug is specific to my HTC 7 Pro or to all WP7 phones. In the HTC 7 Pro forum somebody mentioned this bug isn't present in his Arrive.

Bug for text messaging in keyboard slid out mode

If I am in another application or just at the homescreen with the keyboard already slid out and I receive a toast notifaction of a new text message when I press the toast notification the cursor is not flashing in the send a new text message box, why would have the keyboard slid out if I'm not prepared to use it? This is annoying and is reminiscent of old WM problems. Obviously if I have the keyboard open and I begin typing it should automatically go in the text box.

A similar problem occurs if I am just at the home screen with the keyboard slid out and I receive a new message. This time I do not press the toast notification and instead click the messaging tile. When I hit the messaging tile after it shows '1' while still in keyboard slid out mode I again do not see the cursor blinking in the reply text box. Again this is annoying and hinders efficiency.
