[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sledutah:
Picked my phone up Monday morning. As soon as I got to the car I hit the Maps to see if it could find me. Damn, it was off by 5 blocks. I was about to head back into the att shop. Then I noticed the GPS wasn't turned on............... :o

Turned it on and this things rocks. I tracked it while driving around and it stays in my lane.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Does the GSII have an lbstestmode application or something equivalent. If so, how to access it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kelavine:
For me the GPS in the GS2 is 100 times better than my experience with my Captivate.

I was always able to get a GPS lock with my Captivate, but it could take 5 to 10 minutes. However my Captivate could be very flaky when in a Nav app or GPS status app.

With the GS2, it is getting a GPS lock in less than one minute. Once in a Nav app it has held lock and been very accurate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nycbjr:
Listen to me as "i'm only going to say this once"

Coming from the Iconia tab's infamous GPS issues.. this is 1 million times better..

GPS Status (from the market) gets me a lock in under (no joke here) 30 seconds!, this is WITHOUT wireless assist enabled...

on my iconia I'm lucky to EVER get a lock..

Good job samsung, my next tab will likely be one of yours!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dr Triffid:
When my Captivate always showed me about a half-mile away from my actual location. The GSII is spot on in locking, navigation and location for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Mine locks on even faster than that. Literally seconds....best I've ever experienced.....very impressive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dross50:
I had problems with both getting and keeping a lock on my captivate. I would RARELY ever get a lock and if I did and moved the phone more than a few inches I'd lose the lock. Now I'm keeping a 10 satellite lock even with the phone in the passenger seat while driving.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] daverod:
Exactly. Abandoned Samsung because of this. Thinking about coming back.

Wow. With new Vibrants or something else? Did it take a month of arguing back and forth?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] id10terrordfw:
Same here. Loving it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shammyh:
Just got my AT&T Galaxy S2 yesterday, and of course, coming from a Captivate, one of the first things I did was load up a few GPS testing programs...

Happy to report the GPS does indeed work very well. First lock took maybe 5-6 seconds outside? And even inside I can get a fairly strong lock as well.

Haven't used it for navigation yet, but seems like the fancy new SirfStar IV chip in there is really doing what it's supposed to! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
Damn now I really cannot wait, my captivate would sometimes never lock and when it did lock, would not stay locked for very long. After the gps fixes that have come along, the initial lock would be as soon as 15 seconds up to 1.5 minuets and then drop the lock rather quickly. And if my sgs2 that is coming, this phone sounds like it will be a hell of a lot better and I am finally excited to get something with accurate gps for navigation purposes..

You guys stop now! No need to remind me the nightmare with my Captivate! That's the sole reason I sold my Captivate even before I bought my GS2.

Stop it!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fafik90:
I want to get the Galaxy SII but my phone is not due for an upgrade till next year. There is a phone on my family plan that is upgradable right now. Now I know I can go to the AT&T store and they will let me use that upgrade for my phone but can I do the same from other places as in Costco, Walmart or even online places?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shad0wf0x:
i've done it several times, at different stores including best buy, i've also cancelled the data plan on the phone after buying it by calling at&t. Keep in mind if you don't have a 4g data plan on the line you are going to use it on you may need to call them to switch it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kidsavior:
I used my Wife's upgrade to get my Captivate. We just told the guys at Best Buy we had an upgrade for line x, but we are using it for line y. was not a problem. Plus when you buy the phone and put the sim for your phone in it AT&T will detect the IMIE of a smartphone and put a data plan on your line. My Wife's line wasn't even bothered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
Yeah. It's called a cross-ugrade. They'll process the upgrade on eligible line, then reverse that line to it's original IMEI and do an IMEI change on your line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shaxs:
Yes, as others have stated this is a cross upgrade. Just did this at Radio Shack. Just waiting on the my phone to be transferred from one store to another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fanfare6:
Yeah, we've done this several times on our plan too.

Strange though, at best buy, we upgraded one line from a captivate to a note and they made the upgraded line (not the new note) change to the new 4g sim card...no harm done but it was just odd. I wonder if they would have done the same thing at the att store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kristikaty:
I just got my brand new GS2 from Sam's Club online with upgrade/ extension for $49, they didn't even ask for proof of membership. You can get it from anywhere that works with the cell companies. I actually encourage you to shop around, you can get a better deal that way. :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] johnf440:
I also did the same thing at Walmart. You will love this phone for 49 bucks.
[Defy General] Pekempy:
Hello everyone,

I'm currently a T-Mobile Pulse Mini owner, and I desperately need to upgrade my phone.

I am looking at the Motorola DEFY on T-Mobile but I am concerned about the speaker issue. I don't really want to have to send it away within a week of getting it.

Has the issue been fixed in the manufacturing process? Is there a way I can check for the "Blue Dot" or whatever (and is this a 100% sure method of checking) whilst in the shop?

Thanks,

Pete

(No, I'm not trying to get around the "10 post" thing, I just want to be sure before I buy this phone)
[Defy General] labsin:
Check this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10540192&postcount=34

If that's available, chances are very low you will have troubles. If not, there is an real chance you will have to wait for it 3 weeks when it's in repair.
[Defy General] Pekempy:
Alright. I'll check for those when I'm in the T-Mobile shop. Thanks, much appreciated. :)
[Defy General] Dabrinho:
That's what happend to me. I bought defy,in few days my display died and I was like 30 days without my defy. I got it back and now after few months my speaker died and today I'm sending it again :(
[Defy General] Pekempy:
I went into my local T-Mobile shop and asked about the speakers.

They said "The ones we have in stock have all been fixed, but if you do find a problem, we'll send it off free of charge and have it back within the week"

Yay good news =) Should be buying one when this damn bursary gets in...
[HTC EVO 3D] stryke504:
I have created a bootanimation of this video by LSU from the 1:01 minute mark until the 1:16 minute mark with a few changes made in there. It works as it should on the computer with this bootanimation previewer.

If anyone can try it out and let me know if it works for them that would be awesome. Or If anyone can take a look and tell me if I did something wrong that would be great too.

The file is roughly about 11MB

Thanks!

Also make sure you do nandroid just in case. Although if it doesn't work you just will see a blank screen when it boots up.

Installation should work as follows:

Root Explorer method:

1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation

2. Put it on your SD card

3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation

4. Reboot your phone

ADB method:

1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk

2. Put android sdk in C:\

3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.

4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

5. Open cmd

6. Type in order:

-adb remount

-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

-adb reboot
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
ok you had a few problems.

1) you had the desc files named Part 1 and it should be Part1(no space)=fixed

2)you needed to remove the boarder from the images=fixed

3)i resized the images and turned the last 3 in jpegs and in one copy turned all images 180 degrees(landscape) which in turn made the whole file smaller(your 10.92mb --mine 6.58mb

4)i made them flashable and added the LSU fight song(remix)

not trying to take over your bootanimations just easier to fix and then let you see the changes.
[HTC EVO 3D] stryke504:
I greatly appreciate it. Very new at it, and just trying to see what I can do. Thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
no problem.

just rip one open to see the changes i made to them and you can use one as a template to help on your next one.
[HTC EVO 3D] kcb2627:
This is awesome guys thanks! I live in baton rouge and I've been looking for anything with Lsu.

cool, i'm sure the op will be glad to hear you like it. give him a little tap on the thanks button
[HTC EVO 3D] pharpe:
Is there any way to port this to the Galaxy Nexus. I tried the zip but it did not work. If it matters I'm running AOKP 20.

Never mind. Figured out myself. Just used working zip and put your boot animation in it.
[HTC EVO 3D] stryke504:
I'll see what I can do. I'm sure it's just a resizing issue along with the proper paths. The zip is for the sense paths not AOSP paths.

If not I'm sure dased can assist.

i love this app and i love your rom :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] myth999:
I can only help without a logcat its a wierd issue, other users reported that its working...i will have to download gingerdx for checking i guess :x

EDIT: hey btw did you already have a home.apk in your system/app folder before you flashed this??? some roms do have it and its a sony launcher so please make sure, maybe that could have caused this?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] destiny007:
that would be very nice

i love stelios rom because its a wunderful rom (without the issues from gingerdx 16 und 17 ;-) )

and this launcher it would make perfect

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

if i have a home.apk i must delete this before or what ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] myth999:
Yes if your rom already had a home.apk.

1. See which app it was, uninstall it using titanium backup.

2. Then Flash iida launcher remover zip.

3. Boot your phone check with root explorer if home.apk still exists.

4. If not then flash launchers installer zip.

"SOME ONE WITH A MINI PLEASE TEST USING THIS SAME PROCEDURE"

hmmm i had no home.apk

bad ... i hope this was the solution ;-)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NeuroticallyYou:
i managed to run this launcher on my HTC glacier, i have to say its going to be awesome once it gets out of Alpha/Beta releases.

i couldn't install this via CWM as it wasn't installing on my phone so i pushed the apk to /system/app then proceed to fix permissions, then after after i proceeded to install the apps i pushed via adb to /system/ with root explorer then it worked.

problems so far

1)launcher fails to add picture widgets

2)can't add the time widget to my home screen

3)i don't have to swipe to the right as it is on the original infobar A01 once the phone reboots the launcher just appears right away.

4)system apps like messaging and phone can't be added to the home screen

other than that is very stable ,not for a daily use but it is stable regardless.

i shoould mention that i have an AU ONE account so i technically should be able to use their market the only problem is that i don't have the infobar so i could copy the build.prop information over my glacier.

good job in porting thislauncher, i have the deodexed files but those didn't work with my phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] destiny007:
sooo i tested the launcher on x10 mini and minicm7

its works good... scine 1 hour without laggs... very cool launcher... :-)

in gingerdx17 the launcher doesn´t work!!!

thanks!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] myth999:
@Neurotic

I too downloaded the entire dump and deodexed most apps, some apps have problem deodexing...btw can you tell me what you meant by:

1. You cant add images to home screen? I am able to do it, placing images amidst apps...

2. Which time widget you are trying to add? I am able to add the widget i use

3. Third problem i couldnt figure out actually what you meant friend :(
