I have an Infuse at the moment and a SGSII.

The infuse clocks in with much lower pings and much faster downloads.

What is everyone else getting for AT&T speed tests?

I can't seem to get under 150ms ping (in a "4G" area) with the SGSII but the atrix and infuse do that just fine.

Should I check my APNS?
[Galaxy S II General] rohitgarewal:
I just got back from Boston. Was able to get 4.9mb down and 1.4mb up near Logan Airport. I was on H+ almost my entire time in the city this long weekend.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Care to compare the download stats? It'll be interesting as they're both Samsung phones with the SGS2 being the higher spec'd of the two. As for pings, the SGS2 automatically disables data and drops to 3G when there's no data trafffic dedected. The time it takes to kick back in probably isn't helping its ping numbers.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Do you remember your pings?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The fasted download I've gotten so far is 4MB. That was with one of my longest pings (253ms). My shortest ping was 88ms with a download speed of 3MB. I don't know if there's a direct correlation.

-
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Here at work (I get much better service than at home) I don't go over 100ms on ping with the atrix or the infuse.

Downloads are anywhere from 3-8 (8 was the highest i've seen with the infuse.)

The SGSII so far has yet to go under 140ms on ping and downloads are around 2.5-3.5.

Same location. I don't have the infuse with me to check today but it's something i've noticed here.

131ms ping on this test I just ran with 2.8 Mbps down.
[Galaxy S II General] cdd543:
Never hit 3 mbps on mine even after apn tweak. Highest I've ever gotten is 2.8 on H+.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
There are some people that have posted downloads consistently in the 7s and 8s with the SGS2. I don't remember where they tested. There seems to be a lot of SGS2s in NYC and they average mid-2s and 3s. Someone in Florida posted scores in the low teens so the phone appears to be capable. The ping times concern me less than the D/L speed - espcially with the funky power saving data management feature. Are the APN/networks settings the same in both the SGS2 and Infuse?
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
i cant imagine ATT would preferred speeds to the Infuse over the SGS2, perhaps its just coincidince? i know my n1 sees about 160 ms but highest i saw last week was 100ms in NJ. and that is a non-ATT phone.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
But the Infuse is a carrier phone which means it ships with settings optimized for AT&T's network. It also probably has a different hardware radio. That's what intrigues me about a side-by-side comparison.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
From my understanding the two have the same radio. Thats why I was confused, when I get home i'll check the APNs and compare.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Well, I cut my Pings in half by changing the APN settings.

Make a new APN with the following:

Name: ATT PHONE

APN: Phone

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

[Galaxy S II General] rwj5279955:
Its too bad we couldn't flash modems from the original SGS.

What about the Infuse? Is the radio the same?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I read somewhere that the Infuse/Hecules are extensions of the original Galaxy HW and that the SGS2 is a new hardware platform for Samsung. It would make sense since to get the Hercules up to dual-core they're using a Qualcomm chip. If the hardware were the same you'd think they'd use a chip that already exists for the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
Hmmm. Everything else was left blank??
[Galaxy S II General] sgupta1:
Was there any confirmation that these APN setting changes would actually improve data speeds in NYC?
[Galaxy S II General] ronj1986:
Changing the APN to match the Infuse's helped me achieve faster download times, but I actually erased the APN that I created to mimic the Infuse's:-( I'm going to ATT store today to copy the exact APN settings again.
[Galaxy S II General] 10nisman94:
Are you using a smartphone data plan, or the medianet plan? If you're using a smartphone plan, see if the AT&T rep can change it to the "4g smartphone" plan to see if it increases your speeds. The infuse and gs2 should get near identical results from tethered speedtests.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
I posted all of the settings. Everything else remains untouched.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSopranos16:
This my friends was the problem. I was coming from the Captivate and my smartphone plan did NOT include 4G. I called and told them I got a new phone but it wasn't that simple. When I gave my IMEI, AT&T's systems didn't recognize the phone and they don't have the GS2 in their systems. If they don't have you on record as having a 4G phone, they aren't able to switch you to the new plan. So, at this point I was screwed (I had them create a trouble ticket for this b/c this shouldn't be the case). For me, I resolved the issue by giving them the IMEI from my friend's Inspire 4G. Since they were just inputting it into a billing system, it really doesn't matter that I'm using his number (the rep said it wouldn't affect his service). So, I'm now switched to the 4G plan, and so far I notice a speed increase. Went from around 1000 kbps to 2500 kbps where I am now. Thats not lightning fast but its a clear and noticeable improvement. Hopefully in area's with even better coverage, I'll be over 5000k. We shall see...
[Galaxy S II General] sgupta1:
Does anyone have an IMEI from the Infuse 4G that I could try using? Also, does anyone have the exact Infuse APN settings, or are they the ones previously posted?
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
The settings i posted were straight from my infuse.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The last few posts don't make any sense. A few SGS2 users were on the 4G data plan and changed to the dumb-phone data plan and saw no speed difference between the two. Same location, same phone. I think that would be a pretty good test as to whether there's a speed difference between the different AT&T data plans. Also, I'm on the dumb-phone plan and pulled 6MB down when passing through DFW two days ago which, sad to say, appears about as good as AT&T's 4G gets regardless of plan.
[Galaxy S II General] jeremy81:
I'm on the standard smartphone plan. I tried to get the rep to give me a 4G plan but he said it wasn't needed. I live in a small town and have been getting downloads of up to 4.5mbps and uploads 1.3mbps. The upload speed is very consistant but downloads can get down to 1.5mbps on occasion. My pings are normally around 115ms depending on the time of day. A family member just received the HTC Inspire yesterday with the 4G plan and I've tested them side by side at the same time and it consistently test at about half what my S2 does. I should also note I tried the APN settings posted here but my phone's data connection would not function with those settings.
[Galaxy S II General] mattism78:
Somewhat on the same topic. Does it matter if the phone has a 4G sim card or not? I just read on another forum that you have to have a 4G card in order to experience the higher speeds. It's the first I've read in regards to this. I find it hard to believe since AT&T's current "4G" is more like 3G+.
[Galaxy S II General] sgupta1:
I've just noticed in NYC the past couple days downloads have been <1 MBps and uploads averaging about .10 MBps.... way slower than the 3-4/1-2 I was getting previously... I guess its just NYC's heavy traffic or something.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I moved to AT&T when I got the SGS2. The Premier rep signed me up for the dumb-phone data plan and sent me a SIM. I'm getting 4G speeds with that SIM (where they're available). There were a ton of people posting their U.S. experiences a couple of weeks ago and there was nothing to indicate that AT&T data has any state other than "off" or "on" no matter what plan you're on. There was also a bunch of posts that would indicate AT&T's been pretty active upgrading the back haul for 4G all over the country. People were experiencing really crappy download speeds for days.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
It's the same for me. I did swing by the att store to inquire about the 4g sim and the cs rep told me that att has been doing some work to the network. He didnt specify what or where but I havent hit anything over 3mbps in last few days
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Hey Ph00ny, NYC's supposed to be getting LTE this month. That might be why things are screwed up. It may take a while but as people in NYC migrate to LTE it'll free up some 4G bandwidth. If the next iPhone's LTE it'll free up a ton of bandwidth. I'm not anxious to get a LTE phone because from everything I've read it's a battery nightmare and the SGS2 is nothing more than acceptable as it is.

Any DVR pro's out there that can help regarding DVR and Go Launcher?

Question I have is that I have folders for games, etc, and would like to naturally use DVR to enlarge the icon for these folders. I have them maxed out using the standard Go Launcher system.

Is it possible to use DVR to enlarge the folder Icon on Go Launcer as I have done with everything else, and if so, how?

I have tried this method, but nothing:

Long press - Widget - DVR (1x1) - light press new icon - select action - Other (no choice for folders)

Of course, pressing on Launch Action only gives me programs or other applications that I can run seperatly.

Hope I can do this!

hi guys!

i'm running ginger yoshi 1.1 on my htc magic 32b - it's by far the best rom i've ever used! there is only one very tiny issue which seems to be related to this specific version: whenever i try to connect my phone via bluetooth to my hands-free car kit a conversation is built up and the display (of the car kit) "behaves" as if being connected?! however there is no build-up on the phone itself - the "dummy" call can't be ended - neither from the car kit nor from the phone - so while being connected via bt I can't even use my stereo...

i have not had this problem with previous versions.

what i tried so far is the following:

disconnect phone, delete pairing from phone and from car kit, reconnect

restore bluetooth settings from titanium backup

full wipe and reinstall (twice, once with redownloaded rom)

tried it with two other cars - same problem :-(

any help is appreciated very much - this is driving me nuts

again, apart from this issue ginger yoshi is the perfect rom - now even with amazing battery life! thx a lot yoshi & friends!!

Hi zyxeu,

I have the same Chilean Entel firmware. Have you managed to update the firmware to KE2 or KE7? and if so did you use Odin?

On other post you mention upgrading the firmware through Kies using "Check Fus Downloader"

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxeu:
Hi mguel,

Yes, I changed my Chilean Entel PCS SG2 to XE7 generic XEU and it works.

I did not change the CSC to the Chilean one.

I upgraded the firmware using the Intratech way with his instructions, tools(Odin), and firmware, which he provides in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

In my case after the first firmware download using Odin the device got stuck with an endless Samsung logo boot. This happened to me twice or thrice during firmware downloading. To get around this I always used the following method from post #7 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104515

This three firmware download always got the device back to working state!

The order that I have used to update, root, simunlock:

1.) Updated to XWKE7 XEU generic (http://www.multiupload.com/IBRBHDUDXI)

2.) Had to fix the endless loop with the "3 file" method then I did the step 1.) again and it worked

3.) Removed SD and SIM card and then did a full reset *2767*3855# to reset the internal CSC to XEU

4.) Did step 1.) again as recommended to ensure CSC setting really gets changed and everything is in sync

5.) Rooted the device using Chainfire's CF-Root 3.5 KE7 kernel from his thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

6.) Back up your /efs folder as mentioned in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show...&highlight=efs

7.) Unlocked the simlock using Chainfire's unlock app and from android market that uses Odia's method, a Movistar/Claro SIM, and had to do it like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106496

So far everything went well and if a problem occured I just used step 2.) to go back to a working system and did all the steps again.

If you are using Chainfire's CF-Root 3.5 KE7 kernel and plan to use a corporate Exchange Activesync account this thread will interest you to fix the boot endless loop that results: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107457

Basically you overwrite Chainfire's CF-Root 3.5 KE7 kernel with a KE7 stock kernel. Root and Busybox are still working afterwards but I do not recommend the use of CWM, because I do not know how far it is anchored with Chainfire's kernel.

I recommend you to download all files mentioned above beforehand (and the Chilean UHKE1 files just in case).

NEVER USE PIT OR REPARTITION IN ODIN!

As long as you can get in the "firmware download" mode your device can be saved and is not bricked.

There is a way to reset the custom firmware download counter and remove the yellow "!" with a micro USB connector and some resistors (look at intratech's ROOT AND ROM GUIDE thread).

And finally if you need your original Chilean firmware for warranty issues (Claro/Movistar/Entel) check post #10 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098738

The efs backup is necessary, e.g. if you end up with a bad IMEI and/or ProductCode, which seems to be fixeable: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881162
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mguel:
Wow, thanks a lot for the detailed answer!!

Although I rooted and flashed my previous androids, the infinite loop you got 2 or 3 times scares me a bit... so I'll study thoroughly the method before, wainting if entel releases a firmware update in the meanwhile... but as I read somewhere entel is not too active in releasing updates :/, and I like to test different ROMs. Although with the hardware aceleration features of the Samsung firmwares and the fact that I like how it work in general (hated motoblur on my previous phone), I'm not sure if I will test many ROMs but certainly I like to keep my phone updated.

I think I have had bad luck and got problems, because I tend to reset to factory settings when upgrading the device.

So you can see that even if there are problems, like in my case, you can bypass them and get everything working. That is what makes me really happy and confident about the SGS2.

So I'll be able to install Titanium Backup!! I was missing it (3 days without it :P)

Now I'll add Entel's APN, add google account, reinstall apps... etc (with frequent CWM backups)

Edit: strange... the APNs are there... the same that where set when just bought the phone: bam.entelpcs.cl. OT: do you know the difference between using the bam.entelpcs.cl or the imovil.entelpcs.cl (with my previous phones I use the imovil.

The bug has to do with the "Factory Reset problem"... so if I'm not planning to do another factory reset (at least before updating to a new firmware to come)... is there a need to flash the same firmware version?... do the bug causes any other problem?
