Well, isn't that interesting. They show the model number as SHW-M250S which is the same as the Korean version. I wonder if that's for real or just a typo.
[Galaxy S II General] 2fastkuztoms:
here is part of the press release in spanish...

Claro, la Red 4G más poderosa, y Samsung Electronics, líder mundial en comunicaciones, anuncian la llegada a Puerto Rico del Samsung GALAXY S II, un ultra delgado (8.49mm) y ligero Smartphone 4G de doble núcleo que ha sido equipado con la nueva pantalla cristalina Súper AMOLED Plus de Samsung, la más avanzada pantalla móvil de visualización con colores brillantes e intensos.

“El Galaxy S II ha tenido una acogida explosiva en los mercados donde ha sido presentado y nos complace traerlo a Puerto Rico. Sabemos que hay muchos esperando su llegada y estará disponible en nuestras tiendas a partir de mañana. No me queda la menor duda que este increíble Smartphone 4G con sistema operativo Android Gingerbread 2.3, procesador de 1.2 GHz de doble núcleo y pantalla Super AMOLED Plus tendrá un desempeño extraordinario en la poderosa red 4G – de costa a costa – de Claro”, expresó Enrique Ortiz de Montellano, Presidente de Claro.

I think is a typo.... on the product description reads 1.4ghz cpu, so another typo...

I'm going tomorrow to check in stores, not going to buy it because I dont like Claro, but at least I play with it and hold on to the sprint version...
[Galaxy S II General] Odia:
You have to ask yourself why do Samsung make a point of writing 1.2Ghz under the logo on the current SGS2 boxes, its there for a reason :p
[Galaxy S II General] boondoc:
is there a way to order from Claro off contract over the web? i looked around their site and didn't see anything. would i have to have someone in P.R. buy it then ship it? i asked all of my rican friends (all 2 of them) if they had family that would do that and the universal answer i got was "not that i'd trust"

hi there

i hope any one can help me or can get me a Arabic Room for the Infuse 4G Phone
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gtg465x:
You might be able to find it here.

Lulz, I kid. It's not that easy to add languages to a ROM man. You have to add it to each apk. Maybe if you buy me like a sea turtle or something I'll work on it.

Me thinks you should have bought an international phone and not the Infuse if you need Arabic support.

hey all

i bought nexus S yesterday and its showing there is a update for 2.3.3

i just wanted to know how to backup my current version i.e 2.3.2 so if i dont like 2.3.3 i can switch back .. its a new phone not rooted one
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
If you're rooted, you can do a nandroid backup from recovery. (You will most likely have to re-root after the update.)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ancilary:
nope its not rooted

everything is stock
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
I'm think you're out of luck, then.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Wrong. Download a nandroid backup of 2.3.2 (or flash a 2.3.2 FULL ROM from Google itself) and flash that.

Either of those will get you back to 2.3.2.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Touche.

(You would still need to root (or at least unlock) to flash them though, right?)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No, you just flash stock ota updates that directly come from google. Just has to be renamed to update.zip and flashed through stock recover. And if that was a reference from the other thread then, no comment.

Absolutely not.

Btw, I'm just trying to learn - by reading, trying stuff, and asking questions. Even though my tone was confrontational, I was asking because I really want to know.
[Nook Color General] yangguo1991:
I just installed nightly 105. Because I had some battery problem, I wiped dalvik cache and then I found that my password to unlock the screen does work anymore. I've installed nightly for many times and this is the first time I wiped dalvik cache. Is there a default password for the lock screen? Or is there a way to bypass the lock screen? Thanks a lot in advance.

Update: after I rebooted a couple of times, suddenly the old pin worked again. Not sure why.

Is learning the technology of cell phones a must just to unlock my phone.I want to give my desire telus phone to my daughter but she has rogers sim card.I paid online for a code but got this reply that they cannot.

Unlock Status:

We have been unable to obtain an unlock code for your phone using the imei number supplied. Although this model is generally un-lockable, there are instances where codes cannot be generated. This is due to unique phone variables and cannot be predicted in our preliminary report.

As an apology for this, we would like to offer you a full refund and a free unlock code for your phone as soon as one becomes available on our database. Alternatively you can use this for a different phone.

We would like to offer you a full refund for this and we offer our apologies for the inconvenience. Refunds are usually processed within 48 hours, however please allow up to seven days for funds to reflect in your account.

We have offered some further advise below on possible options you now have.

They gave me 5 other options.And now I am here.

For a couple days now Ive read and did searches and read some more. I am very knowledgable around hardware and software on computers but I dont seem to be getting the drift on unlocking this desire. Making goldcards and rooting and soon as I think ill try AlphaRev or what have you,I find I must be rooted and that opens more technology I must learn.Before I spend more days of reading and learning can this phone even be unlocked. I just dont want to brick this cell because of a stupid mistake on my part if all I really need is a SIM Network unlock pin.

I just sold a spare Fascinate that I had to one of the guys that runs http://www.mydroidworld.com/ He has a leaked copy of the official samsung gingerbread build for the fascinate.

[Fascinate General] joshriccio:
It was my girlfriends phone. She likes her iphone better so I tried to get what I could for this. He ended up paying 175, I wanted 200 originally.
[Fascinate General] lordnikko:

[Fascinate General] bratliff:
is that p3droid? He said he was looking for a fascinate.. He was hoping to only pay 100. I volunteered to test but I guess he decided to buy a phone. I used his stuff on my droid x. Very smart dev. I hope this works out in our favor. TBH would be good to have supporting the fascinate.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
I don't mean to sound negative with this statement. But even if this does actually happen, I just have this strange inclination that this leak will have absolutely no benefit or bearing on the development of CM7 or GB MIUI or anything else that our devs are cooking up. Official froyo brought nothing as far as added functionality to the roms of that time and I just don't see a GB leak doing it either. Samsung's proprietary code SUCKS so bad that we can't hardly do anything with it. Even if it's a fully functioning GB leak, it will be TouchWiz. I mean at best we are looking at some custom TouchWiz GB roms. I would rather have AOSP froyo than GB TouchWiz. I just don't want us to set ourselves up for disappointment. Anything we get out of this leak will probably be a couple steps behind where we already are.
[Fascinate General] joshriccio:
I don't dev, so I really have no clue, but wouldnt a gingerbread leak at least help get mms, sensors, and gps? and possibly lead to a more stable build?
[Fascinate General] Dread This Day:
Not in terms of AOSP builds, no.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
How is that a bad thing? For people like me who need everything to work (MMS, etc), our ROM choices are already all TouchWiz-based. So I'd much rather have fully-functional, debloated TouchWiz GB ROMs (a la KB/EF) than no fully-functional GB at all.

It seems to me you're basically saying that because any official GB leak would be TouchWiz, it's worthless, which simply isn't true. A lot of us would be very happy with a Gingerbread KB or EF.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Just my opinion. I hate touchwiz and after tasting CM7/MIUI and other AOSP goodness, it is pure suffering to go back to touchwiz. All I am saying is this doesn't excite me. We are trying to cut the cord of dependance from samsung/verizon for support by getting official support from Teamhacksung and Cyanogenmod and this leak probably won't help in the advancement of that. That is why I am not excited, but maybe and happily, I'll be proven wrong. :)
[Fascinate General] zas311:
I am one of them. I would prefer the TW GB over AOSP roms.
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
Yea, sorry, I'm with kidserious. If I had a choice between AOSP now and TouchWiz, I would never go back to TouchWiz unless MMS never became functional on AOSP. I'm just loving my phone's performance... knowing how Sammy did TW Froyo just makes me leery of any GB they have going on.

I have more faith in the devs here than I do in Samsung.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
But that's my point -- some of us need MMS to work now, not just potentially in the future, so we don't have a choice yet. If we're stuck with TouchWiz, it would at least be nice to have the latest version of the OS, whether or not it helps AOSP developement.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
well said and a very good point. TW is an atrocity. I understand the functionality argument and the need for it in the workplace but IMO TouchWiz itself, even fully functional, isn't functional because it's trash. I think anyone who has spent a halfway decent amount of time on AOSP and can stand a few things that don't work would agree with me. But again this is just my opinion and I don't mean to offend anyone. I'm not trying to get the next generation updated touchwiz, I'm hoping to do away with TW altogether with official Cyanogenmod/Teamhacksung support. I mean, with fully functioning AOSP, who would want/need TW?
[Fascinate General] TtWEAK:
The question I have is whether or not it is TW4. I'd give it a chance if it was. Still I'd ditch it for MIUI or CM7 once they are functional.
[Fascinate General] gkirby11:
A majority of us would jump ship for an AOSP 2.2 over TW 2.3. Plus in the end as soon as it drops there will be countless threads about Ice Cream Sandwich and when it is coming.

Most casual users are just concerned with what is shiny and new, evidence is in every UKB release.

I agree with Kid, in the end it is still going to be TW and the hype machine should not take this with to much hope.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
I totally agree about cutting down on unrealistic hype, so let me ask this:

What, specifically, are the end-user (not developer) differences between running the latest Voodoo'd version of UKB and the latest version of jt's CM7 that lead you to say that a TouchWiz-based rom like UKB is a nonfunctional piece of trash?
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
P3 doesn't have gb. Just another froyo build (apparently some folks don't know how to read a build.prop lol).

A gb leak would help to fix sensors on aosp roms at the very least, so it would be nice to get ahold of one.
[Fascinate General] ckirkp79:
Although hearing a poss leak for gb sounds great and all... I'm not really missing mms much with miui. My phone has speed now and looks pretty sexy with miui gb.

I just have people email pix to my gmail instead because one day mms will work on this and cm7 just gotta have faith and some patience :-)
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
we get it, you dont like touchwiz...some of us enjoy a stripped down version of it, modded out...on phones with 100 percent functional aosp from vanilla/cm7/miui/omgb etc many folks still use oem skin based roms....just look in the droid inc forums

that being said, i like aosp a lot and would like to see it up and running as good as it will get before i (and pretty much everyone who does anything for this phone) jumps to the sgs2...but i digress

and if you really want an aosp phone so bad...go to sprint/tmobile and get a nexus..this wasnt meant to flame you at all...but just my .02

and there...reason enough to want a leak :cool:
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Ok, I stand corrected. If it will help in anyway with what jt/andmer are doing then I'm down for it. I'm going to stop speaking out against touchwiz so much, sometimes I shoot off my big mouth and people don't like it. And I have to say justin, I put UKB 2.0 on my friends fascinate and very nice job with it. I like the theming. So, my bad y'all. Maybe I shouldn't type everything that I think. lol
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
All is quiet on mydroidworld.

I'm kinda curious what they actually have even if it isn't GB. I'll feel bad for the OP if it turns out to be an Odin of ED04 or something like that =(
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
I didn't say UKB 2.0 was trash. They did an unbelievable job in making TW bearable in my opinion. I am actually impressed with what TSM did with TW. But, it is still samsung code, with which I want as little to do with as possible. And the differences between CM7/GB MIUI and anything TW are like night and day. Speed, Smoothness, customization, theming, overall performance with the exception of the things that don't work. Nitsuj17, Sbrissen, Adrynalyne, and all others who had any part in COM ROM, let me say If in any way you took what I said as downing your work, please forgive me. It is a great rom and well put together for what y'all had to work with.

No baseband = No care. Anyone can modify the build to read whatever they want it to read.

That didn't even look like anything other than a modded Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:
I like the built-in task manager in Touchwiz, the video player, and Media Hub. I like a lot of things about AOSP also, such as the calendar, the flexibility to customize, and the speed, so I use AOSP sometimes, even without all the functionality. I use CM7 nightlies on my deactivated Captivate, for example (though Captivatemtd is more functional due to a couple of Captivate GB leaks).

I also look forward to a GB leak, not only for the AOSP functionality, but also to run Netflix on a Touchwiz-based GB ROM. I hope this leak comes out before y'all jump ship to the SGS2. By the time I'm upgrade eligible, the SGS3 (or even the 4) will be out (late 2012). I guess I'll have to learn how to build my own ROMs after all, as it looks like I'll be all alone in the Fascinate forum in a few months :'( :(

Instead, he's just acting like a douche with his "MAN I SO AWESUM I LEAKED STUFF".

He's not the only dev in the world.
[Fascinate General] piiman:
Who cares if it TW? Just install a different launcher if you hate TW. I think some of you just trash any launcher that the manufacturer uses just to trash it. There is nothing wrong with TW per say (unless your Apple or hate the iPhone look) and the froyo version had some fairly nice features. A GB version could come with tW 4 which also looks nice. Personally I haven't seen anything special about AOSP and most of them , no all or them, are not fully working. My favorite ROM's have been made from fully working official ROM's and not AOSP. But to each his own but I'm sure there are many that would want a TW GB ROM. Heck GB turned Blur into a usable launcher so who knows what it might do to TW.

BTW who is Teamhacksung? Never heard of them or seen anything they've done.

Also, I noticed that Adryn and Nitro have new phones but still contribute to this one (I even noticed that SOS3 is working on Blackhole 4.5 for the fasc even though he already devs for the Vibrant and the Tbolt). But if these guys add the SGS2 when they already dev for the Tbolt (and the Charge in Nitro's case), that might be stretching it too far to work on 3 phones - they can't all be SOS3 ;)
