[Galaxy S II General] ShallowJam:
I live in a city of over 500,000 people and we have one Virgin Store - a mall kiosk.

Fortunately for us, both our cities have additional Futureshop/Bestbuys selling the devices.
[Galaxy S II General] AndroAndo:
I'm not banking on Futureshop having any here. There is also just one, and no Best Buy. I might drive to Orangeville, Brampton or Mississauga though.
[Galaxy S II General] androidjes:
Hmm so I've heard alot of people claiming that Bell won't sell one of these come Thursday without an activation. What if you're already a Bell customer with a current contract and want to buy the phone out right to activate on your own plan? I just sold my Atrix in anticipation of this phone.

Also does anyone know any location in Victoria BC that is taking pre-orders/reservations to secure a phone with a deposit?
[Galaxy S II General] chaoszero112:
Bell (and virgin) will only sell it off contract if you currently have a line with them and the phone is activated in store. Have to go to a big box store if you want to buy it out.
[Galaxy S II General] metalman75:
no 30 days activations, even if you already have a line with bell. thats the rule for sensation, i guess it will be the same for SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] RSD66:
Was at a Bell store a few days ago. Rep told me current bell customers on contract can buy at full price and $20 will be charged on the next bill (activation charge maybe).

Had a friend with Bell call customer support as well and he was told the same info.

Maybe it depends on the individual store and what they want to do.
[Galaxy S II General] metalman75:
safe way to get the phone is to first tell them you are not with bell and wanna get this phone, after they show you the real phone, tell them you are with bell and wanna buy it. dont give them the chance to say no or they are out of stock.
[Galaxy S II General] AndroAndo:
Apparently Costco is selling the Virgin model off contract.

This is from Astroboi on RedFlagDeals forum:

"Just stopped by Costco in Brampton. They have 6 SGS2 handsets available immediately. If you sign a 3-year contract, they'll throw in $75 in Costco cash and a 3-in-1 charger.

They will also sell you the phone outright (no contract) for just the cost of the phone plus tax (no activation or 1 month contract, etc.)."

Also, Virgin IS launching the phone tomorrow confirmed by Virgin employees, they are not short stocked (3-10 was a figure mentioned yesterday) they have twice as many as usual launch day phones. They are handling it like the iPhone launch, and will not sell out in most locations. Anyone that tells you otherwise is just hyping purposely. Refer to the "eyePhone" episode of Futurama they say they "might have one left" meanwhile there are hundreds in the back. That's something that most carriers incourage to sell more phones on contract.

The phone WILL be launched tomorrow, it WILL NOT be short stocked anywhere and you WILL be able to find one somewhere from BOTH Virgin and Bell. And you CAN buy the phone off contract from Virgin, probably not Bell though.

So, if you have work tomorrow and are paranoid about the phone selling out, don't show up to work late or play hooky just to grab this thing. It was pushed back so that it has very little opportunity to sell out. Futureshop, Bestbuy, Bell and Virgin are sitting on loads of them. Even if some of them want to play coy like they don't know if they've got enough for everyone.

Attached photo on email from Virgin with following caption:

"Hey there!

Thanks for signing up to be the first to know when the hot new Samsung Galaxy S II 4G would be up for grabs.

Since you're on our list, you can buy the phone online a day before anyone else. Plus when you buy it online from

July 20 – 25, 2011, we'll throw in a $25 value gift card and free shipping to say thanks!

Heads-up! This offer is good while quantities last, for new activations only on the Virgin Mobile SuperTab or a 3-year agreement."

Follow the link and it allows you to buy it 30 day new activation, so you can buy it $599 + $40 Android Super Social plan and unlock cancel subscription for Wind, Telus and Rogers.

PS. Shipping and activation take 3-5 days, so buying it early is only significant to those that can wait or are paranoid about it selling out, which it won't.
[Galaxy S II General] androidjes:
Thanks for the message. It's taken a lot of stress off my mind.. Seems like every place I ask here in Victoria either only has 5 units , are only selling them on a new contract or had to ship them back for software updates and wont have them for tomorrow.

My brother and I will be hitting the malls tomorrow when they open to ensure we get one. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermult:
Hi!

I was on Miui 1.7.8 when my home button stopped working. At first it was not always responding but now it stopped working at all. I flashed VillainRom 2.0 via Rom Manager to sort any software issues out, but i forgot to wipe the data partition. So now i have a messed up phone with the /system from the fresh VillainRom and the /data partition from Miui, which causes lots of problems. I get lots fc´s and don´t have root.

What should i do now?

I can´t access download mode or recovery mode because my home button doesn´t work. I am pretty sure its a hardware issue.

I ordered a usb jig adapter from ebay to get back to the download mode and flash the original rom to take it back to the store..

Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
get a usb jig which forces download mode, flash a full stock rom and send it in for service. with the jig the counter gets reset as well, so you won't be facing issues with the warranty.
[HD2 Accessories] moav:
Hello,

I'm looking for a stand like this one only made out of plastic and that could be folded. If you seen something like this or you know there's none for sure please let me know. I might model one in Pro/E (modeling software) and try to find someone who can make it.

Thanks,

Moav
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
A nice find :)

Sadly its the first i have ever seen, you could shape one from wire, but it won't be foldable

The Scan Dock version (on the website) looks better and is collaspible, have a closer look, it might fit your needs, simple as well to fabricate this from ply. plastic or almuminum would be very simple :)
[HD2 Accessories] moav:
Couple of reason why it won't fit my needs. First, I'd need to fabricate it myself, and the one in the picture looks fragile enough, so my handy-work won't be so tough. And the other thing is I really want something that folds so I won't have to build it every time.

Do you think a plastic folding stand such as this but professionally made would sell ? As a student I find myself copying quite allot with the camera to a PDF, and if it could be folded nicely in the bag it would be ideal. As a Mechanical Eng. student I could quite easily model such a thing but I'd need to manufacture allot for it to be cheap.
[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
Mmm not too hard to fabricate, I am a mechanical engineer & could do this quite easily from plastic or alloy as a flat packing design.

Do not need one myself but as a Mech Eng student it would be a good little project if you do have some practical skill & workshop resources. Have a go ...
[HD2 Accessories] moav:
Update :

Another option for the scanner on the travel is the "Kickstart". You can find all the info here
[HD2 Accessories] Tigermoto:
Alternatively, if you run Android on your HD2, download Camscanner from the market.

It reshapes and resizes almost perfect every time, and converts to PDF for sending saving etc

Looks like a driver problem, kies is installed (and not running) but odin connects to a port and then when start is clicked it doesn't progress any further. I presume its a driver problem so was wondering if anyone could link me a set of drivers that are known to work.

might be worth a mention that kies doesn't connect to my phone either,

I found some, but they wouldn't install over what I had, and then when i uninstalled everything and started fresh, they installed and then windows updated over them.

I have a problem with my N1. It happened while flashing a custom rom - what caused it, I don't exactly know. The problem is, that now, my N1 wont boot. When i turn it on it is just stuck at the 4-colored X. I can boot into recovery and everything, but it can't mount my sd card from here, all i get when trying to do anything related to the card is this message:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /sdcard

[Desire HD General] Mr_Cookie:
For those who are on versions 2.37+ - I've managed to be able to root my 2.43.661.1 and know someone else who rooted a 2.50 DHD.

Of course, this may not work on all but it is definitely worth a shot.

1. Download a 1.32 Stock RUU

2. Create a Goldcard (any guide will tell you how)

3. Install HTC Sync and run the RUU so it flashes the phone.

4. Follow a normal DHD rooting guide.

I don't know if would work on all DHD's above 2.37 but can't see why not. I just rooted two phones with a friend and all seems to run fine.

So if you've been waiting, give it a try. It won't hurt if it fails, but I can tell you it has had success.

(Phone was a branded TELUS - 2.43.661.1)

madmaxx, what version were you running before using that method. My understanding is this wont work with 2.4+ versions.
[Desire HD General] NeoS:
This is understandable, you don't have S-OFF.

Please stop posting "guides" like this, unless you've actually CONFIRMED it works with screenshots and everything. Flashing unknown stuff BRICKS DEVICES! I can't stress that enough.

I had read a little about rooting, but the downgrade part always sort of put me off to the whole thing as it seemed very hard. I did have the latest upgrade, so it seemed it wasn't possible. I stumbled on to a guide here pretty much like this and I finally managed to downgrade, root and install MIUI, then I went a step further and installed the latest LeeDrOID kernel.

I can say that it has pretty much effectively doubled my battery life. It's amazing, and I now have complete control over my phone. I love this place! =P
[Desire HD General] rakig:
fuzzbeans: You're lucky you were on a 2.37 or lower version. Anyone running 2.4* versions cannot root/downgrade unless they were already s-offed before hand.

Anyone on the east coast of Canada with a XTC clip?

The first post should be edited to say any 2.4+ version needs s-off for this to work. If not, you're out of luck.
[Desire HD General] Mr. Droid:
Any word if 2.46 will ever be rootable? i would love to root my device !!

From my (basic) understanding, they need to find a new way to s-off the device so you can flash custom roms and perm-root the device.

hello

i have idea for great idea !

if u jailbreak iPhone u will get cydia

if u root android u will get superuser

why android dosen't have app like cydia ?? cydia is awsome

on android if any developer have idea just he added on his rom..if we have app like cydia the developer will put his idea on android cydia :)

u can slide any notification to remove it on CM7 (if we have cydia this advantage will be in android cydia)

there are many script and tweeks in this formus and other forums..Hopes to see the script and tweeks in one application :)
[Android Software Development] FloatingFatMan:
What?

Cydia isn't an app as such, it's essentially an alternate marketplace for apps that Apple wouldn't allow on their store, and quite a few pirated ones too.

Google already has several alternate marketplaces, and you DON'T even have to root your device to use them, so really, what the hell are you on about?
[Android Software Development] theo80:
You know why it cydia works like that? Because it only has to support ONE handset. Android however, have MANY handsets in different configuration (touchscreen, hardware keyboard, etc.), different processors, different GPU, different display hardware, different resolutions and a lot more different from handset to handset. One program that works in one handset does not mean it will work in another. One rooting program in Android does not work on all handsets running android. Your request is impossible at best.

Cydia is a repository of apps that aren't permitted for AppStore. Market isn't so restrictive, so there is no need for "underground" Market.
