Please do share, any improvements noted? Also, how is the battery performance when this is disabled?
[Galaxy S II General] susteki:
Has anyone tried the 2.3.4 firmware on their SC-02C? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1174161 Looks like there are many big improvements coming (Battery life). Any idea as to when the official 2.3.4 will be release by DOCOMO?
[Galaxy S II General] dprodge:
Oh my God, 37,5 KB/sec... it's like going back to the old modems... lol

Yes, with MP I mean PM, sorry xD

I used softbank one time with a prepaid phone, but just for calls.
[Galaxy S II General] chrono1g:
hi everyone,

i have a gs2 from docomo (unlocked). i am currently in los angeles, trying to use my phone with my at&t simcard. i can connect to the internet, but i only get EDGE speeds. is the docomo 3g band compatible with at&t?

thanks.

ps.

it is currently set to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) <---- *#*#4636*#*#

and

GSM/3G (auto mode) <--- in the wireless settings
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
*#2263# and see the band that is supported by sc-02c

No idea how to add more bands there, maybe it's the modem.bin...
[Galaxy S II General] chrono1g:
AT&T uses GSM 850 + 1900.

docomo gs2 supports GSM 850+900 and PCS 1900. what is pcs? is this the reason why i cannot get 3g? no 1900 gsm?
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
type *#2263#

and then select wcdma, then select 1900, open menu and back, and then select 850 as well.

hope it could help..
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I believe that the 1900 MHz band is disabled by default. There is a post a couple pages back on how to enable it. It is disabled by default because Japan doesn't use it.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Wow the list of fixes is pretty amazing I can't wait.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
My battery life has been much worse but I think it might be because I have been streaming a lot of music. Ill need to further test with the music cached.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Note that 850MHz WCDMA Band VI is not the same as the 850MHz band that AT&T uses (Band V iirc). The SC-02C is a WCDMA Band I/II/VI phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
850Mhz is V , VI is 800Mhz.

http://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-CDMA
[Galaxy S II General] chrono1g:
i'm still trying to figure out how to get 3G to work with my docomo SG2 on AT&T....

Which bands should i click on exactly? when i click on the WCDMA 1900Mhz II, it seems to uncheck everything else that was checked before. i am unable to check both 850mhz gsm and 1900 II WCDMA. do i click on the "automatic" or "combi"?

i also dont know what to set my preferred network type to. right now it is at "GSM?CDMA auto (PRL)
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
Did you read my post for you?

check WCDMA 1900 then touch menu key so that you can back to the previous screen, and then check 850 as well.

[edit/ps]

I don't know that AT&T uses gsm band, but.. well I think there's no problem to check WCDM only.

I'm not so aure though. cuz I've never used a phone under ATT network

And you'd better.. well, MUST use a certain APN for your data plan.

There's must be someone using SGS2 under AT&T on this forum. Maybe you should ask them.

It doesn't matter if they use I9100.

Because, both of their sgs2 and yours are now sim free phone. :)
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
well I tried this and is a bit confusing

try this

click Auomatic

hit menu and then back

click ombi bands

click [6] Wcdma 1900

hit menu then back

hit menu then back again

click [2] wcdma bands

verify that [3] wcdma 1900 has [*]

hit menu then END

And if u want to use 3g make sure u are connected with w-cdma and not gsm. so change network from gsm/wcdma to wcdma only.

set apn aswell to correct one.

to use 850Mhz u prolly need to burn at&t modem.bin, not sure on that. u might ask in other thread.

[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
800/850 have historically been used interchangably when talking about these two bands range, it creates a lot of confusion but unless you talk about the band designation (the roman numeral) you can never be sure which one a particular person is referring to. (In addition band VI, which is only used in Japan, is not very well known)
[Galaxy S II General] Devowa:
Does't matter. I don't care the history as well as the band number.

People here who is asking about the band just wants to know which one they can use.

And I am sure about it and I know what I'm taking about.

youre the one who needs to read the wiki link which I post.

Just stop confusing people with the stupid band. show off your unnecessary infos.

Yes, maybe you have lotta knowledges. I respect you about that. But just don't confuse people.

People need a simple answer.

Otherwise, he/she would be like

'"Tri band phone", wth this is nerd talking about? I just wanted to know about WCDMA band which I should select"'
[Galaxy S II General] R3wt3d:
u should post english link and not Japanese...

Sent from my SC-02C
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
FYI, I've built two recovery packages this weekend.

#1 is for people who have just been running rooted but need to go back to factory standard for service. It does not touch baseband, sbl or pbl but does set kernel and system to factory standard and wipes data.

#2 is a bit more dangerous. It will reflash everything except PBL and is intended for the person who has really screwed things up but can still get into download mode.

At this point I haven't tested them yet as my SC-02C is my only docomo handset and I have to be traveling for most of the next two weeks and don't have a docomo-branded backup that I can swap my sim into in case I screw up (don't really care to pay the higher data charge for 2 months using an unbranded handset).

If anyone is really motivated to try them before I get a chance I can upload them, but I'm really hesitant to do so unless you both have a jig and know how to recover from anything short of a bootloader-bricked phone. I should have them tested by second week of august in any case.

I've been looking at my images and it looks like my backup SBL (0p3) is still blank. I'm probably going to flash a copy of 0p2 into it before trying these images just in case.

(Now watch docomo release an update this week and make all this work pointless)
[Galaxy S II General] JuNyA8971:
Nice work! I would love to test them for you but like you I have only one SGS2. This would be nice to have.
[Galaxy S II General] robotsapiens:
Since I'm not Docomo, I was wondering... did they release anything?

Besides the OS from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, do you think they will update the kernel and modem to KG2 or KG3?

Lastly, if they change to KG2 or KG3, would it be possible for any of you to make one of those modem.bin files to flash on my non-docomo SC-02C? Im softbank:p Tadatomo!
[Galaxy S II General] dejanet:
I can test both of them if you like I have two Galaxy II's and a jig so I'm almost bullet prof.

RESOLVED: Battery drain issue

Spent over two hours with Docomo recently trying to resolve my issues and finally go it fixed. BAD SIM CARD.

Docomo swapped out my unit for me right on the spot and I was still having connectivity issues. Then we setup a brand new FOMA (SIM card) for the device with all of my info, plugged it in and BAM - working like a charm now. Now I can see how fast this thing really is.
[Galaxy S II General] Abused.employee:
Hi,

I just got my SC-02C from Docomo.

Can anyone tell me if there is additional charges for tethering/portable hotspot?
[Galaxy S II General] mrsamo:
Hi Guys, I signed up specifically to find out if I can buy the SGIIs and use it under Softbank's network.

I live in Japan and have the option of buying outright as a second hand (there's a couple near where I live) or via Docomo. I have more friends on Softbank so the free softbank to softbank calling appeals to me greatly (SMS is also free). Plus I want to use the internet on the move. Can anyone advice what would be the best option for me in this case? I really want to use the Softbank network even though the reception may not be as good, I'll take free SB calls anyday. I heard there is BPlan (?), which offers unlimted internet(and I can use Skype on this as well), does the SGIIs take 2 SIM cards?

Thanks for all your suggestions.
[Galaxy S II General] ManInCamo:
They'll bump you up to the 10,000 yen data plan. That's what they did to me at least.

Now that I'm rooted I'm not sure if they can differentiate the data type.
[Galaxy S II General] ManInCamo:
The phone should work, I've used quadband phones with softbank prepaid SIM before, but I haven't tested the GS2 to verify -- wait for someone smarted on the GSM bands to come along and verify. I'm sure you'll need to change the APN information, but that's available available at softbanksucks.blogspot.com.

that said, no the SG2 does not take 2 SIM cards.
[Galaxy S II General] kamandor:
Nevermind figured this out.
[Galaxy S II General] robotsapiens:
mrsamo, I can assure you that it works with Softbank. I bought a SC-02C at Rakuten, with SIM lock 1 month ago. Then, unlocked at NTT shop for 3150 en (you only need identification) and plugged my Softbank card and it is already possible to make phonecalls and send/receive SMS. I rooted and installed Litening ROM afterwards (which looks very nice with Special Theme Green!)

For MMS (S!Mail) and internet plans, you will have to search the web (or ask me when you need it), cause depending on your plan it is better to use some specific APNs (basically, smartphones use one APN with 3G, called andglobal, and normal phones use HSDPA, called opensoftbank, and they have different settings).

The important is that you can trust this forum to help you solve your problems.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
What rom are you guys using?
[Galaxy S II General] gaikokujin:
screen burn

Hi! I bought my GS2 with Docomo the day it was launched and I have been enjoying it. One little problem, after using the Widget Locker application, I noticed a round circle near the lower right side of the screen, excactle the same shape and position as one of the circular shortcut from Wideget Locker. I uninstalled and waited a few days but it was still there, although barely visible. I went to the docomo shop today and the lady was as surprised as embarrassed and even checked her own GS2 to look for screen burns. Interestingly enough the demonstration model has a permanent screen burn of the dock bar (probably since the screen is always turned on).

Anyway, they agreed to change it for free. Before I do that, any application to backup it up on my SD card? Will the default back up app also save my accounts, settings and passwords? Any advice on how to avoid screen burns once I get my new handset?
[Galaxy S II General] mrsamo:
Now you've given me hope! I've just about given up on the SGIIs because it just seemed impossible to use softbank services unless I use a prepaid card. There is a second hand store near me that is selling the SGIIs, can I really use Softbank network with it? (ie. 980 white plan + 4400 yen full internet access?).

I'd like to know how this is done because the Softbank representative tells me this is impossible.
[Galaxy S II General] mrsamo:
I have a current Softbank prepaid card (3000 yen) working on my old Samsung Omnia HD phone, but I can't send messages or browse the internet (and phone calls are ridiculously expensive).
[Galaxy S II General] devilangellus:
Hi,

I tryied to change my rom and i installed few of them. but all result to the same problem.

spmode disapear so i cannot use my data connection.

Anybody got the same pb?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
You will need to manually add the apn to your list since the other roms don't have it by default

[Galaxy S II General] devilangellus:

[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I think you should just be able to add a APN with the name "spモード" and set the APN setting to "spmode.ne.jp" the other settings I have set on mine are

MMC

440

MNC

10

APN type

internet

everything else is listed as not set.
[Galaxy S II General] devilangellus:
thx zaphod,

found the solution on the nttdocomo website: http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/support/trouble/smart_phone/so01b/operation/sp_access/

HI, me again ^^;

I want to know which rom everybody using on their sc-02c?

I tried few rom but I'm not allow to install nttdocomo appli like sp-mode mail or else...

even i can paid through docomo keitai account.

i'm sure the reason is that my s2 is not recognize as sc-02c but as samsung I9100.

Any advice?

APN for Softbank

Changing the APN settings for Softbank. For the Silver card (assuming that your previous phone was not a smartphone. If not, what will happen is that you will use a very slow internet), the setting would be:

name : mms open

APN: open.softbank.ne.jp

ユーザー名: opensoftbank

パスワード: ebMNuX1FIHg9d3DA

MMSC: http://mms/

MMSプロキシ: mmsopen.softbank.ne.jp

MMSポート: 8080

MCC: 440

MNC: 20

APNタイプ: internet + mms

Technically internet is working right away (activate by pressing power button and then "Data Network mode", activating it). For the e-mail, softbank has its own program for MMS, called jp.softbank.mb.mail.apk v1.5, and this "bad boy" can be found here (http://www.mediafire.com/?b9991c9jh97qq8q).

Pay attention to the icon 3G that shows up, as he is going to change for H to download msgs or access the internet. A very important thing is also to go to softbank homepage and CHECK YOUR USAGE! If this setting is not right for you, you will notice the monthly amount going up quickly.

If the easiest and shortest way didnt work:confused: and you already checked if you typed the password right:eek:,(which is case SENSITIVE, by the way!!) reply here saying what happened... there is something else, which I believe is the problem (happened to me), but I will only post here if it happens again with somebody else.

We have an update ... Downloading right now
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Confirmed here. It is supposed to address the blurry one-seg problem that has been mentioned earlier on this thread.

It shows up on checkfus too:

Model: SC-02C

Product Code: SGH-N033LKNDCM

Modified: 2011-07-16

HIDSWVER: SC02COMKG5/SC02CDCMKG5/SC02COMKG5/SC02COMKG5

Filename: SC-02C_DCM_1_20110716115359.zip.enc2

Most important thing is that we now have an official "fall-back" image and can pretty much hack around with roms with impunity so long as we don't brick beyond what the jig can recover.
[Galaxy S II General] susteki:
Nice! Any noted differences?
[Galaxy S II General] susteki:
Evildave,

Can you make this zip downloadable from somewhere? I'm unable to download the update from my phone.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I'll grab the image tonight. I'm at work and my PC here not capable of running checkfus downloader (.net framework issues on an XP machine). I already put in a request to have it posted on the carrier branded image thread in official development section.

The official way of updating is through Kies. There's no OTA for this.
[Galaxy S II General] susteki:
Understood, I'll also try to install this on my PC once back at the office later.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I may be wrong on the OTA thing. Just noticed

showed up on my OTA today, but I'm not about to apply it right now.
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
Nothing that dramatic right now other then I lose root..
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Its confirmed on http://armalitexyz.jp/ that rooting using the same method as KF2 (odin this kernel then extract stock kernel from the official image and dd it to 0p5) works fine.
[Galaxy S II General] tianqi:
I am attaching the original kg5 kernel, I used the jp kg2 kernel in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Doesn't really matter, but if you flashed the JP_XSG CF-Root kernel thinking it was for Japan, its not.

JP is Samsung's code for unbranded phones in the middle eastern market.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
What is in this new update?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
From the docomo page:

[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
You'll need to re-root afterwards.

I just installed by OTA and I _KEPT ROOT_.

First time to ever receive an OTA update on a Samsung phone for me, and I've had 3 (Galaxy 5, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S II) now.

You guys seen this ROM at http://armalitexyz.jp/?

seems to be r3wt3d kernel.

no. probably different. perhaps a directory listing of block devices would reveal something intuitive? Let me check mine and try to dd them to SD and see what the sizes are.

They are, in fact, not the same.

[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
yeah, there is an antenna. 1seg App won't even attempt to tune. It's totally different behavior in the app after flashing a kernel with root.

the gs2 is my first android and I would like to root it but after reading your posts it is freaking me out.

How do I rip my system and make a total baseband back up? is the basic back up app enough?

I was thinking of using lite ning rom, do you think it would be safe for the SC02?

Thanks
