[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Okay, after much hemmin' and hawin', my girlfriend has decided that she wants an Android phone to replace her aging Crackberry Tour. The phone has served she and I rather reliably for almost 3 years, but she played with her friend's Fascinate, she got wet for the Sammy. For some reason she hates my Evo and thinks it is too big. So it is down to the Epic 4G (because she wants a bloody keyboard). I am trying to talk her into either the Shift or the NS4G but that may be difficult. If I gotta get her the Epic, I will. I liked the phone when I had it for 2 weeks as a demo, but I know the support for it from both the Dev standpoint and the Android standpoint blows.

Either way she goes, the phone is getting rooted. Too bad she likes iOS, er Touchwiz.
[EVO 4G General] Art2Fly:
Have you shown her miui?
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Not yet. I may do that after I root it. If she doesn't like it, I will get her back to TW.
[EVO 4G General] trindy:
My son insisted on a keyboard too. I got him the Shift and he loves it.
[EVO 4G General] Sry0fcr:
The Evo is pretty damn big but my GF got one after her Epic had so many problems stock. I say avoid and get the Shift.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Just leave her phone stock. She could care less if its rooted, and it will save you the headache of dealing with her complaining when something goes wrong.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
You say, "stock"? I guess it wasn't rooted?

As for the shift, I asked her about it and she hates my phone and that is just a smaller version of my phone with a keyboard.

Actually, she works in IT and she wants me to root it for her. She can TS her own issues once she has it and I show her a few things. I am not worried about her complaining. She is fed up with the Crackberry and the hybrids that she had loaded on it.

[EVO 4G General] mazook98:
My wife has a shift as well, so I rooted, etc for her. But, using that thing after using, and being used to, both the ogevo and Evo3D is a nightmare for me, lol. The buttons are NOT where my fingers think they 'should be', and every time I have to use her Shift, I just want to throw it through the nearest window. It IS fast, and it DOES run smoothly, however.

[EVO 4G General] trsix:
i have a shift use it mostly for movies videos and shows. when the wife uses it she types away on the keyboard and likes it. good battery life also. ( after rooting and adjustments.)
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Have her feel both phones one after the other. The shift feels just so much better.

[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Yeah, I tried that in the Sprint store, but still no dice. Oh well, we have 30 days. :-)
[EVO 4G General] Sry0fcr:
Right out of the box, nothing done to it at all. It didn't make it through the 30 day return policy. It was more like 2 weeks.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Well, I gave her the phone last night and she loves it. It helps that it's rooted with the latest GB update.

I had forgotten how much nicer the Galaxy S screens were than the Evo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlee102:
I own a GT-I9020t (tmobile) and just moved to south korea. I think I've read that the phone should still work by swapping SIM cards with a Korean carrier (like KT). Just wondering if it is possible or not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
Phone comes unlocked. You can put any sim card and you wont face any problems :-)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidance:
So if I take my T-Mobile GSM Nexus S to say Korea, it will work by simply swapping to a Korean SIM Card? Like 3G and phone all works?

I thought there were some regulations like getting permission from the government to use foreign phones (like some Koreans had to do that pre-iPhone era).

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
I dunno about 3g, you should check mobile network frequencies in Korea. But yeah, you can use any unlocked GSM phone with any sim card. I live in the middle east, my phone is 9020t which I bought from the states. Never had problems with it even when swapping sim cards during my trips to Europe.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidance:
As long as radio frequencies are same, it should work right? So if I go to Korea and Korean mobile provider has these frequencies, it should work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhalwis:
T mobile uses 850-900-1800-2100 for 2g and 900-1700-2100 for 3g. You shouldn't worry about voice since its a quad band and works in every country around the world. If any mobile network provider has the same numbers above for 3g, then you're ok
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilgue:
It should work fine in Korea. It's just a matter of acquiring the local sim (or USIM as they call it)or registering the phone and I'm not sure how easy it is to do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duggyb:
Well after the WOW effect wore off my phone, i am starting to HATE the flaws.

I bought this phone outright for a hefty $600 and hoping i did not waste my money switching over from blackberry.

MY problems

Bluetooth disconnects every 15 minutes, plus sounds like garbage, i did some reading on this and its a common problem yet appears to not be addressed yet? i am using a Jawbone Icon by the way and its dual connected to my work BB

Data(HSPDA) randomly disconnects at least once every 2 days and requires me to pull the battery to get it back going.

Battery drain is beyond crazy, i cant get 5 hours out of the phone with moderate use.

This thing heats up like crazy!!!

I know the last two things are software related, and people say upgrade to KG2, well my phone had 2.3.3 and KG2 and this is what it shipped with, so what should i go to?

Or can i just solve all of these issue by rooting the phone? if so, i will go that route.

Thanks.

Dustin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennizz86:
if you want to go that way(rooting,FLashing Roms)

Think twice, the SGS2 has a binary counter that counts how many times you flashed unofficial software on the phone,

if you brick it or something happens, screen breaks etc, you might ran into some problems @ samsung if they check the counter ;)

you can reset it yourself by buying a JIG, google it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rshall:
I've had no issues with my bluetooth headset (logitech freepluse). i'd guess it doesnt like being dual connected

I've had no issues with losing my data connection (i did on galaxy s though). how strong is your signal before you lose it?

as for the battery drain, make sure you're exiting your apps + all the usual other stuff (turn off sync, wifi, bt, set to autobrightness). 2.3.3 does have the drainage issue for some people. i'm on villainrom 2.3.4 and have no drainage issues

rooting won't help you out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenPixel:
HSDPA disconnects? if you have H always on that means you are either downloading or uploading something most of the time, H only turns on when there is data being pulled or sent, you should see the 3G icon MOST of the time, if you are streaming music/video then you'll see the H kicking in.

I have a Jawbone Cruiser and have no issues whatsoever I have 2 devices paired to it but only 1 at a time, A2DP works flawless and it even sounds better than the original Galaxy S.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meranto:
Rooting will not solve these issues, but I can maybe enable you to start solving it.

However, before you start messing with kernels and firmwares I would really try to find out if some of the problems might be hardware related or not. If so, you could use your warranty to get a new one or get it fixed. Once you start messing with custom software you're never sure if they will grant you the warranty or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duggyb:
not sure where you get that from? i actually hate apple and take that post as quite an insult, one and only thing i ever owned from them was a ipod way back, and it got stolen 2 mths after i bought it and i never replaced it.

that aside, i came from a Blackberry Curve 8330, although it sucked, it did have good bluetooth connectivity,decent battery life, and did not heat up, keep in mind it was a CDMA phone.

so i know i have some changes to expect with a new network, but it appears lots of these have been fixed by people and i am just trying to understand the software and device, KG2 KY this,etc is all new to me, so i have been reading lots but find it confusing since its so vast.

needless to say it will be kind of disappointing if i cant connect 2 devices to my jawbone icon at the same time and work flawless, as this is huge for me.

Also i NEVER see 3G data show up on my phone, its always the H with up and down arrows, should i see 3G? im up in Canada(Saskatchewan to be exact)

It appears i should update from KG2, yet KIES shows no update, i have not dove into Odin to try that out, maybe i should?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Rooting doesn't solve anything, just gives you access to hidden files. You need to flash a newer rom(kh3 or kh5) and hope it fixes those issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
I agree with the above poster, I've been using android since inception and I don't believe in rooting a phone to mask the issues you are having, upgrade the software, there are many roms to choose from, get the device running well before you think about rooting.

People are giving new android users the impression that rooting is the answer for phone issues, it is not.

Rooting is for advanced users who want the extra access to explore the power of android.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
I don't understand why everyone seems to be pushing the USB JIG, it's like there are people making and selling them here or something.

@BrokenPixel, H or H+ doesn't drop to 3G as fast, if your Telco doesn't support Fast Dormancy, or you have Fast Dormancy disabled.

I like Blackberries, it is lacking as a end-user smartphone, however for companies, I still like the privacy with point to point encryption. Android does not have that unless you purchase a 3rd party application which means both parties have to have it as well. Again, it really depends on what you are using the phone for. I still recommend using the right tools for the right job.

@Gustopher, calling Blackberries a "second cousin of a minor demon..." is like calling a screwdriver the bane of our existence, or a hammer "the killer of thumbs..."

peachpuff is correct, instead of rooting your phone, perhaps you should try changing the modem to something else instead, try KH3, KG6, KF4, KE4. Perhaps in the mentioned order. It really covers most regions, since we don't know where you are at!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duggyb:
Thank you for actually being informative.

I am in Canada by the way(Saskatchewan) and i am running on the Sasktel network(Bell essentially)

I always thought i had to root in order to install something different then KG2?

i am not sure what my network supports, but i have NEVER seen 3g since the day i bought it.

i have turned off some of the recommended things to save battery life, it seems to be helping, we will see what i get
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meranto:
If your problems are related to your settings, flashing newer firmware (KG5 for example, works fine with me) will only really help if you do a complete wipe/factory reset. See the guides for that.

That would be done best by rooting with CF-root, going into CWM-recovery, doing a backup there, do all "wipes", reboot straight into download mode and flash the fresh firmware via Odin. The guides are all there.

Just make sure to play with some settings like gsm/wcdma in your network settings first.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickroller:
Have you never heard of BB's? He came from a Curve..basically a glorified pager. He could probably go 3 days on that thing with a single charge. Kind of like going from a Commodore 64 to a high end laptop.

One thing I haven't heard mentioned about rooting is the fact with root you can install Titanium Backup..and with the Pro version..freeze apps (instead of deleting) which allows you to fiddle with perhaps some rogue apps that are draining your battery.

As usual with most Androids..make sure you don't have FB or Twitter syncing crazily (and if you're running multiple tweet or FB programs..be sure they aren't syncing as well). I'm not familiar with Touchwiz..but if they have their own "social networking" apps that you don't use (and you use the actual apps themselves instead) be sure to check those and make sure they arent sync'ing either (and better yet freeze them with TiBu).

I will not go to a custom rom until my warranty expiries.

It voids the warranty.

Get a task killer to kill extra crap that kills your battery when you are not using it.a lot of junk runs on the factory rom that I don't use they restart themselves from time to time.

So all my apps and settings are still the same. phone just runs faster now.

Also, if you run wireless tether. in settings, set profile device to Samsung fascinate. Then set, setup-Method to Softap for Samsung (master). Thats what i did to set up an reg tether connection and not an adhoc connection. Things work great.
