I spoke with Sprint customer service today and asked about the SGS2 release date and was told that she knew nothing about the phone. However, she said that they normally don't know anything about new releases until about 2 days before they come out.

Does Apple even develop anymore or is it all just lawsuits and stealing?

And nobody give me the "all tech companies sue" bull****.

Apple has been on the offensive of more lawsuits this year than some companies in their lifetime.
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
I work for sprint, and this isn't true. We know about the phones roughly a month before they drop, and that's only if we don't do ANY digging online, and only rely on sprint. We just can't tell you about the phones until the official press release.

[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
Definitely love my Evo 4G, but the 3D just does not excite me that much, reviews have been mediocre so far. Can't see getting a Samsung product after the whole FroYo debacle for the Epic. The Photon seems like it might have some potential though.

Don't be scared of dev support, samsung sent a handful of galaxy s2 to cyanogenmod devs
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
As a phone lover to phone lover, should I get the 3D? Seems you might know something I don't. I need a new phone before Aug 12, if the sgs2 isn't around I can just get the evo now. I won't spread this info around, this is for my own personal knowledge.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
I just returned my E3D hours ago....

1.) The reviews are done by idiots and pretty much ignorable

2.) The screen is amazing. Accurate colors, fantastic resolution.

3.) The screen sucks. Coming from a 15:9 Evo4G the E3D looks skinny and annoying. I have big hands, that pissed me off.

4.) The 3D is a gimmick...a very cool gimick. I made fun of it until I got it, and it's the only feature I miss.

5.) The stock battery life is comperable to a highly tuned E4G with custom kernel and a knowledgeable user setting it up...

6.) The camera is both much better and much worse. (much better pictures, much worse low-light use...flash makes everything green)

7.) The 4G Radio is roughly the same, the 3G radio is weaker than a Samsung (even the NS4G)

8.) Camera button is awesome, but camera response time is awful.

9.) If you don't like the "3d gimmick" then you don't have to use it. It has nothing to do with anything but games/media. Ignore 3d -- Poof -- now you have a Sensation with 256mb more ram.

...that said, I returned it after missing a couple business calls today. That's simply unacceptable. The performance is fantastic, but, barely any smoother or faster than a souped up E4G...basically, it is faster but won't save you any time.

Since I could cope with its pitiful 3G radio for 2 weeks I think I could cope with a Samsung 3G radio...the NS4G being notoriously weak was still getting a stronger signal...I'm sure the SGS2 will be at least as good if not better.

...and that's to say nothing of the bootloader debacle...

In September you can come back to this thread and hit the thank you button......
[EVO 4G General] chris.erhard@gmail.com:
I had the pleasure of owning a Samsung Captivate for a year. I ended up switching to Sprint and bought the EVO 4G. I love my Evo and cant wait till I can upgrade to the 3-D! I would assume the S2 will be even better then the Galaxy S phones and can't wait to try one out! The amount of customizations available for the Galaxy S phones are amazing!

My advice, just try it out and I'm sure you wont be disappointed, unless Samsung ever decides to Encrypt the boot loader :-(
[EVO 4G General] mquinn24:
Sprint might wait for the SGS2+. It's suppose to be released when the iPhone5 comes out in September
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
As a former Evo3d owner, the SGS2 is a phone with near-feature-parity (lets not waste our time on meaningless benchmarks..sures, sgs2 is "faster", but in actual use I dare you to notice...I digress)....I can honestly say (regarding the 2 month wait): Big deal.

The Evo4g is still way more than capable and has only dropped $50 in price....sure, the E3D was awesome and I'm sure the SGS2 will be awesome....who gets the big dedicated dev community is still up for grabs--and that's entirely in HTC and Sprint's hands at this point....HTC will take it if they come quick with the unlock, or lose it if they don't and Samsung drops this earlier than September--the 'potential' for dual core phones won't be realized until some time next year...and by then I expect to have a Nexus Prime....and the E4G will *still* be kicking hard.

Wait it out. Since the E3D doesn't have any development (beyond rooting/s-off search) going on, and won't until both are found, you aren't missing anything...in fact, aside from the crappy radio performance pissing me off, I was bored to death with a stock phone with no options....

SGS2 comes out in september? big effin' deal....nexus prime comes out in november? big effin deal...none of these phones will even be close to performing how they should by then anyway and the E4G will still be very capable...

I jumped quick again. My launch-day purchase of the E4G being a brilliant idea was a fluke and will never be duplicated again. This is a much different ecosystem now. I snapped up the E3D, and well, was disappointed....so, wait it out, we've got plenty of time.

Is there any way to change invert the function of the volume rocker when in landscape mode? It's counter-intuitive to push to the left to get the volume to go up. It seems like it'd be easy to just flip the switch function when the phone goes to landscape, but then again I'm no dev.

I googled and the only thing I found was a post asking the same question for a different device which had no response.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
Currently its due for september.

seriously though, its released when its ready. No sooner.

And if the devs have to take the time to answer questions like this, then it will further delay the release.

Overcome 2.01 crashes after upgrade from Overcome 1.6

Hi, I am new to the forum so please bear with me.

I had previously installed Overcome 1.6 on a Telstra Galaxy tab; I ran it for around 2 month with no hiccups. I recently updated to Overcome 2.01 to have video on skype; however ever since the upgrade the Tab is really unstable. It crashes every time I try to look for directions from google maps while on the road.

The crash is so severe that it won’t go past the overcome boot logo after restart. I reinstalled a couple of times with the same result. I also tried following the guide to step 6 and see if it also happened on the “factory fresh gingerbread” form; and this time it crashed as soon as I used the browser over wi-fi. The crash is as severe, the tablet shows a lot of pop up errors after boot and then it boots itself again.

Can I revert back to Overcome 1.6 while the new version (Android 2.3.4) is released; or I can’t go back from gingerbread to froyo?

Thank you for advising.

Cheers,
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
U can go back to froyo

Gingerbread is 2.3.3

Oercome 2.01 Hermes crashing

Hi There,

I indeed followed the instructions to the line the 3 times and the result is always the same.

I did notice that on the last step when loading the rom itself, the screen flickers a few times and during the "loading kernel" line a few blue lines appear; the process still finishes normally.

Should I use the Telstra modem file instead of the one on the JK3 folder?

Cheers,
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michadreyer:
hi carludo

crash while jusing wifi maybe the wrong modem. you are from australia?

is it a euro or asian tab? so look for the right modem. many times flash

the same maybe wrong.

best wishes to downunder.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carludo:
Hi There,

Correct, it is a Telstra Galaxy tab, I used the modem file in the JK3 folder as per the instructions; I will give it another try and use hte modem file from that Testra restock thread and see if it makes a difference.

I will let you know later tonight how it goes.

Cheers from sunny Sydney
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epuleda:
one thing need to be highlighted here:

overcome hermes --> dont use the backup/recovery mode in cwd

will cause yr tab unable to boot and also unable to go to cwd.

a few cases happen including me.

once happen need to restock.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carludo:
Hello,

I am not familiar with the CWD acronym; do you mean that I wont be able to go back to Overcome 1.6 in the meantime?

Do I have to restock the original Telstra firmware before being able to try Hermes again?

If i roll back, do I need to install the bootloader patch again?

I am having a hard time finding specific instructions on how to restock; the Telstra original firmware I got from the Telstra thread did not have a PIT file with it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I found that if I flashed to gingerbread with the original Chainfire gingerbread I had less hassles... - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073854

It has the pit file I have been using. Just remember theres 1 more step after flashing gingerbread, thats to reflash the adbdata.tar file making sure to unselect partition. As said, I used overcomes "safe" rom but still had little niggly problems...

I always use the jj3 (telstra) modem.bin file as there was a difference in the connection. You should be able to find it on this site with a search for "telstra rom galaxy tab".

I don't know if others had these problems, mine was a gpt-p1000t, but I did. I find that our devices are difficult sometimes, accepting one rom but not another, might be due to hardware or how I set it up this time but I have two and each prefer different methods... Strange but true...

Use the pit file from chainfire's thread, then use ODIN to restock, you know where everything goes... Easy, now you're back to stock....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carludo:
Hello Ultramag,

Thank you for your message; I will give it a try and install the bootloader version of CHainfire 2.3.3 along with the JJ3 modem from Telstra.

Like he said, don't forget the dbdata file.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carludo:
Hi Guys,

I read a few dozen poages on the chainfire thread and could not find an specific instruction to a query I have with their instructions; when it says:

- Flash the firmware tar as PDA, repartition enabled, use the attached PIT

- After flash immediately boot into download mode again

How immediate is this; after i flash with odin and shut it down, turn it on again in download mode straight away, or let it boot once first?

Also, can I add the telstra modem file along with step 1 when the firmware is being flashed, similar to overcome?

Thank you for your comments.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
How immediate is "immediately"? Kind of confusing . . .

But if you really are asking what to do if you forgot to do that step, don't worry. Hold down power for 20 or so seconds to be sure it's off, put the baby into download mode, connect to pc, and flash the dbdata.rfs file. Then your tab will stop boot-looping.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carludo:
Hi Ranger,

Sorry for the confusion, what I wanted to check is if after I upload the firmware the in download mode, do I power it off and then turn it on again in download mode straigt away?

Or should i let it run a boot cycle in between?

Thank you for your support; great community here.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Either way. I've done it the second I saw pass, and other times I've had a dumb attack, saw pass, let it try to boot, then when it was stuck I realized my mistake and did the step.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I generally let it boot, never had the bootloop, it has always booted to Gingerbread but there were errors as it loaded the system. I've then shut it down and loaded the dbdata.tar file.

And yes, afterwards, when flashing the dbdata file I tend to load the Telstra modem.bin file then.... Works fine... :D

Just remember to untick "Repartition".

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to report that the tab is now working with the Chainfire 2.3.3 ROM.

I had issues during the flashing, and had to use the samsfirmware csc file to fix it. Perhaps that was affecting my overcome install? Too lazy to flash again and see if it was the case.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] krazy_about_technology:
If you are using Windows 7, you can use a hidden feature called HostedNetwork which essentially does the required thing, Creating a virtual wifi router. This functionality is in Windows 7 half baked, there is no UI for this but it works very nicely. To enable it:

1. Go to an Administrative command line window and run the following command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<AnyName> key=<Any 8 character Password>

2. Configure Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

- Press Win Key+R, type ncpa.cpl in the Run dialog and hit enter.

- Select the interface that currently has Internet connection (like your Ethernet or normal wifi). Go to its properties, go to Sharing tab and then enable the sharing. Choose the special “hosted” interface (sometimes called a Virtual Wifi Miniport) in the drop down. Close the dialog by hitting OK.

3. Start the hosted interface by typing in this command on command line:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

4. Connect to the internet using the dialer if you have one of those USB internet dongles.

Thats it, search for the Wifi network you created from your phone and connect to it. You're done!

Sometime, if you get an error while starting up the HostedInterface try doing this :

First, try rebuilding your tcp ip stack by doing the following:

1. Start an elevated/administrative command prompt window.

4: Type the command :

netsh int ip reset

in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.

5: Restart the computer.

If this doesn't help, then disable internet sharing. After that disable the HostedNetwork by using command:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow

After that restart your computer and set up the connections again.

By default when you share a internet connection it will automatically make the wifi mini port a DHCP server, however some phones may have an issue with this so you could also try setting a static IP address on the phone that is in the same class and subnet as your Virtual Miniport connection.

As a sub note when you set this up make sure you only have one wifi device available (i mean one physical device) if you have two wifi cards on your computer unplug one of them or disable it when you first setup the wifi mini port (the steps in my original post).

Hope this post be helpful to you. Good luck! :)

2)reverse tether by bridging connections and then dhcp eth0 method (here this doesnt work because it only shows tiwlan0 and 'dhcpcd tiwlan0' doesnt work)

3)softwares like connectify , mhotspot etc do not work for me either.
