[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
@Misterjunky Lol. Calm down.

Save money only in the sense of getting the phone. If you use a smart phone on att YOU WILL HAVE TO pay for smart phone internet. (unless you know how to alter the imei number so it reports back to att as a non smart phone) That's another story and the moral of it is not that it's illegal, I looked it up, IT IS ILLEGAL. It's that it can be very hard to do and not worth it especially in the first year of your phone with it still being covered by the manufacturer's warranty. All it takes is one slip during the process and you're screwed royally, as in crazy legal fines and potentially banned from the carrier.

$45 extra per month only if you want tethering. Which is not needed with tweaking just a few things on the rom. The other plans are 200mb for $15 and 2gb for $25.

So no matter where you buy your phone, if used on att, you will have a smart phone internet plan added on no matter what.

This is just talking about the normal monthly plans.

Obviously going with the gophone plan would save more money, but it comes with its own difficulties.

There's two separate issues here.

One is the normal monthly plans and the other is the gophone plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Correct. You only need pay $25/mo for 2GB plan, not 4GB tethering plan. No one in their right minds pay the $45 plan.

Also, don't forget international version of the GS2 doesn't have any warranty at all. With a Samsung phone, and if you flash ROM at all, you are more than likely need the warranty.

I'm pretty sure the minute you turn on your GS2 using a GoPhone unlimited plan, AT&T will terminate you. They are pretty good at that. The $50 unlimited plan is only good for non-smartphones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
@foxbat121 You are right that at some point att will do something. But so far they haven't been doing much. Seems they're too busy to check up on gophone users, for the time being.

That's part of the difficulty that comes with the gophone plan. As long as you keep your data low and don't make them notice you you're usually fine. But the nice part is you're not under a contract. So all the can do is stop your plan.

From there you can say, 'Well that was a nice run, guess I'll go the normal monthly payment route now.' No worse for the wear. Same phone same company.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
What do you mean "no matter what" on AT&T I would have a smart phone

internet plan added?

I thought you said that with the $50 a month gophone deal we get

everything unlimited including data ?

That's the way I was comparing contract prices with the gophone

monthly prices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
The GoPhone Unlimited $50 does include data but it is designed for AT&T released Go Phones (dumb phones). It is not fair to compare that to the Smartphone data plan. For $10/m, you can get unlimited data too for a non-smartphone on contract. So, Apple to apple, $50 isn't that much a saving. Of course, if you're using a $10 plan with AT&T smartphone, they can catch you right away. So is a GoPhone plan if AT&T wants to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
@Misterjunky

Gophone is not normal att monthly plans.

Two separate plans.

Gophone unlimited for $50

Att normal where you choose your monthly minutes, texting options, ect. Cost depending on what you pick. But if you have a smart phone you will get smart phone internet added on if you want it or not.

I'm going to take a guess and say you're not attempt @Misterjunky?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
@foxbat121

Well said.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
Honestly, I would go with Sprint's variant of the Galaxy S II due to Unlimited Data. You wouldn't imagine how fast I burn through data on HSPA+. I can go through 200MB of data in 3 hours of browsing and downloading. 2GB for $30/month is a rip off on AT&T's network.

But, in your situation, I would go ahead and get the AT&T variant if you can afford the contract.

Good luck!

I can recall a time when I had my LG VU (first phone I ever had) with the $10/month unlimited data plan. I "hacked" it and figured out how to tether the connection to my laptop. One time I was forced to stay at my grandma's, who only had Dial-Up. I got a very good 3G signal in her window and I burned through about 20GB of data. AT&T never said anything. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
@Colton127 Ahh the good ol days.

Just depends on usage. I don't normally download files on mine. But I do regularly not use wifi, listen to Pandora, remote connect to desktops, and have auto sync enabled. All in 4g.

It's not very often I go over 1gb.

Listening to Pandora now, the lazy song by Bruno Mars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
So the LG Thrive, and even the Pantec Crossover as well as now the Samsung Captivate are available as go phones, so the $ 50 unlimited plan would work. According to att's website. Which if I ever left att and then wanted to go back, I probably would do the unlimited for $ 50 a month because I would not want to be on a tiered data plan.

HTH,

Wonder what had gone wrong.

Oh well.
[Captivate General] BloodSkin:
was trying to flash one of the new gb betas from one of the not quite as new betas without doing the wipes. now i have the random colored pixel of death screen. probably doesnt help that i was below 15% either. im charging then gonna try a 2.1 or 2.2 odin restore.

let this be a learning experience for those who are trying to flash. make sure your battery is at least 50% (doesnt take but 20 or 30 minutes to get there from nothing) and make sure you wipe your cache/dalv before anything else. the options are within recovery mode. if you dont know how to do it, do enough research to make sure you know how to do it in your sleep.
[Captivate General] BloodSkin:
well, after a 10 minute charge, i tried again, flashing jf6. i can now get into 2e. gonna let it charge for a half hour or so from the wall then try again with the latest beta.
[Captivate General] b-eock:
Charging had nothing to do with it, you didn't flash GB bootloaders with the ROM.
[Captivate General] BloodSkin:
nope, of corse i didnt, because i already had the i897 att gb boot loaders from kh3. no need to take that extra risk when i already have them. but i never clarified that so my bad.

running I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 (odin 1 click) twice fixed everything.

there are other cases on these forums though of the same issue, all suggesting that the lack of charge was the issue.
[Captivate General] b-eock:
FYI: Any leak after KF1 doesn't have the full BL's in it. So unless you are on a previous leak of GB for the Captivate, you have to flash BL's again!

That puts you back on stock eclair BL, you will need to flash KF1 bootloaders(the AT&T GB BL) and then your Preferred ROM.
[Captivate General] b-eock:
The charge doesn't have the pixel effect you had, that was all due to having incompatible BL's
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Well, since you flashed jf6 (twice), you sure don't have GB bootloaders now. Use either cezar's one click bootloader package, or the full Odin version in my sig.
[Captivate General] yohannrjm:
This has happened to me once - when I tried flashing the latest (as of two days ago) Platypus kernel over a Miui 1.10 installation.

My protocol to overcome this has been standard since I started playing around with ROMs:

1) 1-click restore using Odin (thank heaven I have one computer still running Windows).

2) Flash to GB bootloaders using the procedure described on the Serendipity VII site.

3) Re-flash the ROM.

Hasn't failed so far.
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
why do people still flash jf6? thats retarded.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
What would you suggest in place of jf6?
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
Something with up to date bootloaders, like any of the gingerbread leaks. Flashing old bootloaders only forces you to flash new bootloaders again... flashing bootloaders is the most dangerous part of flashing. Why not try and avoid flashing them as much as possible?

[Legend General] ranger4740:
Here's what I have discovered, on froyo and above you have the abillity to do app2sd which puts part of the apps data to sd card, this is not available for all apps either, this is great if you are stock rom (NO EXT) limited internal space and upto 32GB of SD disk space.

While playing around and learning about rooted phones, I have just started using darktremors a2sd, this extends/tricks the phone into thinking its got more internal storage.

The apps2sd is different to a2sd, if you use apps2sd then you will use more sd space, you have already partitioned a space for a2sd (ext) which is using sd space, when you install apps they go into ext partition or inernal space if ext is full, but if you do apps2sd it uses the ext plus the sd drive section aswell, IMHO waisting space.
[Legend General] JoniKickAHoleInTheSky:
Your lucky that either of yours works. Mine stopped. I called HTC and Bell. Nothing they can do. That's bad product support.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
Hi.

I would like to know what is the latest Radio for T-Mobile HD2 users out der !

I ask because I have heard some of the RADIOs can brick the HD2 upon flashing. I am also using Android on my HD2 with MAGLDR 1.13 so please tell me latest radios compatible with it.

THanks
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The latest or should I say the last radio to be released for the HD2 is the 2.15.50.14 radio version you can download it form the The HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread.

Now you are correct the wrong radio flashed to the TMOUS HD2 will instantly brick it. You do not want to flash any radio that has a 51 in it such as the following example radio version does.

2.07.51.22 Notice the 51 and the placement of the 51.

You also do not want to flash any 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx radio versions as they were the radio versions that were run on the TMOUS test tom devices and are actually meant to be run on EU HD2s. And just to be safe I would recommend not flashing any 2.06.50.xx radio version too as I have read of at least one instance where a radio version such as that bricked a TMOUS HD2 as well.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
Thanks for the info. I am already on the latest one. I thought may be there was a new one...i was wrong.:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
So I try sense 3 roms and see a task manager in them. Sense 1 roms don't have it.

Thing I notice is the number in the app is always around 99 free or so but the running apps place in settings doesn't match.

Then my quesion becomes... Is the sense 1 Rom less ram heavy? What would the task app say for sense 1?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
The available ram differs from phone to phone, since each person will have their own unique set of apps installed. But generally, Sense 1 is much less ram intensive compared to 2.1 and up. AOSP uses even less.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyuubi08:
if your worried about ram, you could always try a memory manager, such as autokiller memory, or use a script to fix it such as the v6 supercharger
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
+1 for autokiller memory optimizer.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
Not really worried about ram usage. Just curious for an apples to apples comparison. Sense 2.1 and up have the memory amount in the notification bar under quick settings and sense 1.0 doesnt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Royalfox:
Is there a way to have 2 ROMs installed and get to choose which one you want to boot up everytime? I flashed Deck's 1.3 but I'd like to give MIUI a try, I'm too lazy to re-flash ROM, kernel, scripts, etc... If I don't prefer MIUI.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
You could always backup your current ROM and flash MIUI, and after checking it out (for however long) just restore your setup if you're not feeling it. Or there is this;

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager

I hear it takes up sizable space, but you might find it worth it. I tend to have a backup of CM7 and MIUI, just in case I want jump back for a bit or check something else out.

Bootmanager = AWESOME.

You need to have some patience setting everything up, but once you get everything working it takes 2minutes to boot into a different ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I took Boot Manager for a test drive last week. It was nice and all....but one thing I found to be very irritating was that my SD card wouldn't mount when I had it plugged into my computer. I also received errors, while in my SD ROMs, and the boot.img for my phone ROM failed to load. As did the boot.img for ALL of my other ROMs except the one I was in. Unfortunately. the one I was in was not a ROM that impressed me at all. But I couldn't go back to my default ROM so I ended up having to reflash the whole damn thing. Really irritating for me and it was a total deal breaker. I can't take a chance of Boot Manager doing that during an extremely critical time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
Ok, first mistake you made was flashing roms while plugged into a computer. That is why the boot.img were not created properly.

Second, anytime there is an issue with booting into slots or back to phonerom, boot into recovery, select install zips from sd, then select bootmanager directory, then select phonerom directory, then flash the update.zip, then reboot.

All fixed and back to original rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9erfansonly:
Boot Manager is a good app...lets you install 4 additional ROMs plus your phone rom.

you should check it out, some of the roms dont work, but you can google which ones do work. Lets you Nandroid to SD as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
Wrong. I was at a hospital when my boot.img decided it wanted to not work. I'm not a noob when it comes to this stuff. ROMs were loaded onto my SD card, phone removed from computer, installed into Boot Manager. I could switch between the ROMs just fine for the first day or two. Then they just randomly decided they didn't want to load the boot.img files at all. The issue with my phone being attached to my computer was a completely separate issue. Whenever I did attach my phone to the computer while I was using Boot Manager it would not allow my computer to see it. Deal breaker for me even if I could reflash the phone rom. I'm not saying it isn't a useful app. But the spontaneity of the bugs is something I can't risk.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giga502:
So today I was running my Galaxy 2 like any other regular phone. I had pulled it out of my pocket and was listening to some music whilst playing some game that I recently downloaded from the Android Market. Before I started playing it I recall my battery was at 18%.

Then all of a sudden.

My screen turned off.

I thought hmm. Maybe it just turned off. Attempted to turn it back on. Nothing.

I started to worry.

So I tried to boot my device in download mode or recovery mode.

Nothing

Even more worringly I attempted to charge my phone to see if the charging thing would pop up.

Nothing at all.

So I'm wondering if my GalaxyS2 has died?

At the time I was running CM7.1 Nightly 81 with Siyahs 2.0 beta 6.

any chance of claiming it on warranty as they can't check the actual phone for flashes, or a possible solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Hey, sounds ugly.

Did you leave the phone plugged in for some time? because I think the phone needs some juice, when it was down to zero battery, before it will show anything on the screen.

For your warranty, You know I would first try everything to get it back by yourself and if nothing is going to work then I would guess the sammy guys can't do much either. So if you send it back then and you get a new one be happy, if not yeah you know hope that it will not cost too much. Good luck dude.

[TouchPad General] rooter65:
Hi guys, first post!

I really need help as I think I've tried everything.

I installed CM7 but it was low on battery while installing. Midway through the install process the screen said I need to plug into the charger that came with my device. Then it instantly went to the screen with an exclamation point and says

www dot palm dot com/ROM

Power+Center just gets it back to the same screen.

WebOS always fails at 1% and says it could not be reset.

I've tried ClockworkMod but it is unable to reinstall the .zip files.

I ran WebOS through command prompt and it said the required files were locked by an unknown file.

PLEASE HELP, my touchpad is useless now and I don't fully know what to do in ClockworkMod, which seems to be the only thing that works right now.
[TouchPad General] Trickman2:
Here is what I Did

This is what worked for me....good luck

I would recommend you hard power it off by power and center buttton for 15 seconds.

Make sure you have charged it

Then Run the webOSdoctor program.

For me I rebooted the tablet and held the volume up button until the USB symbol popped on the screen...then the WEBOS Doctor found the tablet and we where on the road to recovery.

Give it a shot and let us know if this helps. You won't be the first or the last to get this issue.
