I also have a Bell version of this phone. Perhaps what is affecting your battery life is the "wifi-sharing" bug. It definitely is a problem on my phone. When you view your battery graph, do you see the process "Wifi-Sharing"? If you do, then the bug has affected you as well. It seems like the problem occurs when toggling wifi on/off. The aberant process "Wifi-Sharing" will start on it's own and eat through your battery. Because of this, I have been avoiding wifi, but when I have to use it, I make sure I kill that task after disabling Wifi. I hope this is fixed in 2.3.4.

Do you have issues with your phone locking on to a GPS signal? My phone takes like 10 minutes!

I think bell really gave us a poor version of the MUGK2 software.

I have a SGS1

Bell

GT-I9000M,

Firmware 2.2

Baseband I9000UGKC1

Kernel 2.6.32.9

If I try to upgrade to 2.3.4 on my phone, will I brick it?

Has anyone successfully upgraded from my type of phone to 2.3.4?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advanced!

That is the million dollar question my friend...

So we are really in there hands...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I highly doubt there will be any real difference on the kernel level with a international vs Canadian sgs2, i could see there being an advantage to using a region specific radio and csc(for apn etc settings, but you might allrdy be covered by the international ones) but not kernel.

And isn't the i9100m basically the same hardware etc? Cos I know people have flashed I9100 roms and all its done is change the model number with no ill effects
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rovah:
I've upgraded to 2.3.4 no problem. Running the latest VillainRom at the moment.

As far as switching out the firmware goes, all I've noticed is a drop in GPS accuracy. I read somewhere on the forums that this is due (probably) to the stock Bell/Virgin modem being outfitted with regional data making it easier to locate itself in Canada (or something to that effect). I was getting 5-7 meter accuracy before but now it just jumps all over the place in my general vicinity. Other than that, H+ is as good as ever and so is cell signal.

In hindsight, I wish I would have waited for the Bell firmware to come out before rooting as I was hoping to use my SGS2 as a GPS when driving.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Try using the GPS status app from the market to download the agps data.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaritimeGamer:
That would be a problem for me seeing as i " do" use my phone as a GPS when in driving... Looks like I'm defiantly going to wait. Thanks for that info!

I'm using Lite'ning rom 5.0 and everything is working fine including the gps and google maps navigation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rovah:
I have tried it. It took forever to get a proper satelite lock even after resetting the GPS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImWarped:
For the record, the GPS works fine after rooting and flashing other ROMs. The A-GPS is what has issues (has problems with WiFi location and tower location but only initially, once you use it the first time, and give it a few minutes to lock in, it works fine)

The regular GPS works quite well, google maps has me centered to within 3m in about 3 seconds when I open the app, compass works fine after "calibrating" as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
I think you're confused. The A-GPS is what's locking in within 3 seconds. The few minutes is the regular GPS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerds2You:
I am using a Bell SGS2 (on Rogers), running Villian 2.3.4 ROM and have no issues at all with GPS, I get fast accurate locks. The first time I did need to download gps data using GPS status and now get an even faster fix after installing "faster fix" from the market. I use my phone for navigation as well as run Trapster daily and am perfectly happy with it.

I originally just rooted using cf-root and the GPS worked perfectly with that also.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcfcyl:
Just for future reference the Bell Modem is now available, someone extracted it on another forum so just search that up and you can have a rooted Bell SGS2 with everything stock.

Here is my post from another thread on the same topic:

I picked up an anti-glare one made for the xoom from handhelditems.com (store brand). Cost <$7 shipped. Had to cut a hole for the camera and trim it a little, but for the price, I am happy.

Pixelation is noticable, but you get used to it. Haven't had to wipe fingerprints since.

A tip for install: Make sure it is CLEAN first (obvious), but if a little something gets under,peel it back up and use scotch tape to get it off the sticky. Using this trick, my protector went on perfect.

http://www.amazon.com/POSRUS-Antigl...6OCU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1311784803&sr=8-2

I'll let you know how it is when I get it.
[Acer Iconia A500] dcorrea:
This is a great product. The screen protector fits great, and there is a cutout for the camera. The screen protector reduces glare and fingerprint smudges alot.

I also found it easy to install, and the best thing was that I was able to salvage the install when I initially installed it crooked.

I normally use SGP protectors, but if you jack up one of those and try to peel it back to fix it, you might as well throw it away.

With this i just used scotch tape to peel it back, and reapplied. No bubbles or dust particles. It looks great and it gives the tab a very nice smooth feel.
[Acer Iconia A500] billy_rud10:
I have to agree with everything you just said about this product. Just got mine yesterday, by far one of the best and easiest to install screen protectors I've ever used.
[Acer Iconia A500] fincan:
I am also another happy camper with that. I did not like the feeling of the original screen (it did not glide well?), with the protector it is a lot better. Althoug it reduces the screen sharpness a bit, which is true for all anti-glare protectors.
[Acer Iconia A500] jinharry:
Screen Protector - Anti-glare

I just installed the screen protector from POSRUS (Available on Amazon.com). Works great to kill the glare. The Zagg protector is not really anti-glare.
[Acer Iconia A500] gustavo.rocha:
I have this one too and it really is a great product, except for a little pixelation that I'm not used to yet...

There's another great brand where I often buy screen protectors from: www.brando.com.
[Acer Iconia A500] corpdecker:
I agree with the rest, the POSRus protector is very nice. It's elimated probably 85% of the glare and made the surface a little nicer on the fingertips, they seem to glide across it better. Another good thing is that it goes in dry, some of the others I saw on amazon were like window tint, requiring soapy water on the screen. These are much more forgiving when applying. Just be diligent in getting -all- the dust and hair off the screen right before you put it on and only peel back as much off the red tab layer as you need while applying from corner to corner.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rpatton:
Ok so I have been on the phone all afternoon with verizon tech support and HTC support and i have gotten no where I apologize if this problem has been solved b4 i did extensive searches with no luck so here goes.

MY Stock Unrooted Thunderbolt is losing site of the apps that have been moved to my sd card on boot. So basically i have a majority of my apps on my tbolt saved to sd card to save space on the actual phone. Some of the apps were moved manually through the applications and others were moved using ZDbox as they were installed and moved. My phone has been this way for sometime with no problem. Now about 3 days ago my phone was acting really slow and just not working properly showing signs it needed to be rebooted so i rebooted it and once done booting i went to my apps and found several of the apps missing from my app drawer as well as the shortcuts on home screens. So verizon referred me to HTC who is blaming it on ZDbox they claim zdbox corrupted the app files somehow when it moved it to the sd card and if i uninstalled that they claim the problem should be solved. However I cant remove ZDBox due to my sd card not showing up that program seems to still be on the phone its self so it should be able to uninstall it but it just locks up when i try

now i could go on and on and on with what i have done but i was hopeing someone here maybe had a similar situation or knew of a way to fix this problem. I have the SD card backed up and all the app files are showing in the location they are suppose to be in but i just cant understand what would cause his problem.

ANY help would be great and i hope im not coming off as a noob i have been troubleshooting this for several days and do consider my self to be knowledgeable in this area but i have surpassed my experience with no luck and I am here hoeping someone out there has an idea !!!!

thanks again in advance

oh ya almost forgot verizon claimed a htc rep told them its a known problem and to just keep powercycling the phone and eventually it will see the apps but i never got them to say that to me they wanted to point straight to the third party app zdbox even after i told them not all the apps were moved by that app.

I was having a similar problem with my stock vzw galaxy tab I factory reset it and reinstalled only a select applications and seemed to solve it but i dont think i have that many apps on my tbolt (i had over 150 on my tab)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
sounds like you have corruption on your sd card. I would pull it out of the phone, connect it to a pc and run a scandisk on it and let it correct any errors. Then I would back it up to the pc. After this I would put it back into the phone and see if the apps show up. If not, I would hound verizon or htc for a new sd card or new phone, their choice.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
A friend of mine had the same issue and the only solution was to get rid of zdbox. The issue is:

The phone is not rooted and apps that get moved to the memory card that do not allow it natively will not show up (usually after a reboot) because the original location is not available when the phone or app looks for it.

To move them properly even most apps not meant to move, you have to root.

He also wound up having to reformat the sd card.

I would say to try the suggestion above and maybe you will have luck that way but my friend had to just leave the apps that dont move to sd on the phone. He still wont root even after he sees my phone and loves the things I can do with it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Not sure why people are obsessed with moving Apps to the SD card. I put games on there but otherwise all the rest of my 100+ Apps are on the phone and I still have 1.7gb of free phone space.

have you tried doing an sd card rescan?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bero.sdrescan
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreemanB:
So if you are moving all of your apps to your SD card, what are you actually using your internal storage space for? I think doing that on a phone like the Thunderbolt isn't usually worth it. Combined with the problems moving the apps can cause, there really isn't much point to it.

I am sure some of you will be making changes as well, but I wanted to say thanks either way, hopefully will see you on the other side. :)

Did you get a replacement over the phone? Mailed out to you? Verizon said I can get replacement mailed to me when in stock.

If vzw considers that to be a valid excuse to send me a new device, count me in. Like I said, I've got another year with this phone. I can't afford to miss calls from my wife who is at home with our special needs child, or the facilities that I manage.

what about someone who just waits it out, and has the issue 3 months down the road, at which time they have issued a software update which resolved "most" of the issues, but no longer offer replacements because they feel they have "resolved it to the best of their ability"?

those people would be screwed....because they we afraid of offending the "honorable intention gods"

me personally, when the Verizon rep told me "there is a known issue with those handsets" told me that the RIGHT thing for Verizon to do is issue a recall (or perhaps Samsung through Verizon) on them and replace every one of them for known product failures or the propensity for those devices to fail in the relatively near future. I had absolutely no problem accepting the replacement whether or not my phone had shown the issue yet or not.
