[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
With the ISGS2 you get:

- No carrier-added bloatware

- Unrestricted tethering

- Updates directly from Samsung

- No carrier mandated s/w & h/w changes

- Two year warranty if bought in the UK or from Expansys-USA

- You can use the data for non-Smartphones plan and get fake-4G for $10 a month

With the ASGS2 you get:

- Insurance and warranty support from AT&T

- Hobbled tethering

- NFC (but nothing to do with it)

- Four capacitive buttons vs. the Samsung multi-function hardware home key

- Screen display mode has been removed

- Dive (phone tracking) has been removed

- No FM radio

- Dependency on AT&T for updates if you don't root and they've been known to suck

If you're buying the phone outright they're almost the same price now. The only reason to get one from AT&T is if you're concerned about insurance and/or warranty service. If the ISGS2 breaks you'll be without for a few weeks while it's repaired overseas.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:
I wont be using the phone in USA, I will be using it in Canada. So I guess International version is better?

I dont need NFC, and looks like AT&T removed alot of features/softwares and made the phone limited....?

Can someone tell me is this SGS2 exact same as International version: http://www.bell.ca/shopping/Samsung...MOB_shophmpg_BAN_GalaxySII_mass_071911_TM_ALL ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Any carrier phone is going to have modifications made to it by the carrier. Although, the Canadian carriers don't seem to molest them as much as the U.S. carriers. A phone purchased from a carrier is locked to that carrier. Some provide unlock codes for phones purchased outright, others don't. You can also get an unlock code from an online service - do a search. I don't know if Bell provides warranty support for phones purchased from them and used on other carriers. It's something you should investigate.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aznne0:
I bought a Brand new still Sealed SG II Epic 4G touch for sprint from a guy on craigslist.

Tried to activate it this morning and sprint said it was already activated. As a reuslt, i couldn't the phone. I contacted the seller and he said that he works for sprint and all he has to do is meet up with me and reprogram the phone. This sounds kind of sketchy to me because i can't see how he can reprogram the phone and deactivate the account from the phone?

But the thing is.. i'm not meeting him at the sprint store.

Any experts out there can help me out?

Use the Theme Chooser App on your phone to change the Theme to 'System'. Icons should all be stock Android.

I am always willing to listen and if things are bothering you or you have ideas for improvement then pm me also i have ideas of my own that can be implicated once i have looked around.:)

Lets try and keep your forums tidy guys , be a good place to be and most of all have fun.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
Newest version added. Stock Icons, 50% Transparency. If you would like something different, 50% transparency with the other icon set or something like that, let me know and I'll get it done.

Grab the GW_STOCK_50_TRANS.zip and flash through recovery :)

*************************************************************************************************

Update: ICS Version Added...

Nothing new, just themed the version from the ICS port that's running around out there, just a new version number. I think that some of the colors from the tabs and stuff is a little different, but maybe not. Anyhow, grab GenieWidget(ICS).zip. The old ones for Gingerbread will work with ICS as well :)

*************************************************************************************************

Like many others, I've made GenieWidget News and Weather transparent - but, I've switched the icons, so it looks a little better. The app itself is not transparent, but the widgets are.... flash in recovery... blah, blah, blah.

Oh, and I'm not responsible for anything - ever - that might happen to your phone, your life, your family, anyone or anything that may or may not be connected to you as a result of flashing this zip. Enjoy!

You can grab the Muisc app from Ice Cream Sandwich that I made transparent here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18528649#post18528649

**EDIT**

If you're running a white or light colored background, I've added a new zip for that. white_geniewidget.zip. No other changes, just black text where it was white. Enjoy!

**EDIT**

Now with original icons. Just grab the transparentgeniewidget_orig.zip. Enjoy!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mustangboy88:
I tried pushing it through root explorer and tried the zip through recovery and both times the widget looked like this.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
So I flashed CyanogenMOD and then flashed the geniewidget zip. The image below is what I get. I'm running Nexus S 4G as well, so now I'm really stumped. Unless it has to do with the theme? How does the original GenieWidget look on your screen? If you'd like, you can upload it and I'll make that one transparent.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Braneless:
Theme Chooser themes sometimes effect transparent genie widgets. I've had that issue using a different version of trans genie with certain themes.

Currently running what's in my sig and everything is just fine.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Fidel Cashflow:
Thanks for this and the music widget they're both great my only question is would it be possible to have a clear version with the stock icons? I don't care about the widget but I like the cartoon ones in the app.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mustangboy88:
That's probably what it is. I am running matted blues from the theme chooser. Man that sucks. I like having my news headlines on my homescreen. Oh well. Good job on the theming and keep it up. The community appreciates it.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] generalagony:
I get installation aborted when trying to flash through recovery. Any ideas? These widgets looks great and I really want them on my phone :)

***update*** Ignore. Just had bad downloads. Re-downloading now :) Thanks for the great widgets.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] denverg:
That sucks... Do you have Root Explorer or something similar? You can just pull the APK from the zip file and copy it to your SD card. Then use Explorer to copy the APK to the system/app folder. You'll need to fix the permissions and reboot the phone, but it should work after that.

In Root Explorer, long press the GenieWidget.APK after you copy it to system/app and pick Permissions. You want Read access for Owner, Group, and Others and then Write access to Owner. All other checkboxes should be unchecked.

Let me know if that is an option for you and if it worked, otherwise I may look at the ZIP and see if I can change it?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] civicdrivr:
Thanks for the zip! Im running the ICS theme though so its not transparent for me (its transparent in the Cyanbread theme) :(

Maybe we could talk sonnysekhon to keeping the Genie Widget out of the theme:

Maybe he stole it from the sprint store? Call sprint, check the esn, etc. There's nothing he can do that sprint cant themselves
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
This

Call sprint and check the ESN to make sure it isn't lost or stolen.

If its not lost/stolen but currently activated to an account, its possible someone used the phone as a donor phone to clone ESN
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol man, hope its not stolen.. alwasy check the ESN before you buy any phone off a site like craigslist! and make sure you check it from the phone itself, sometimes the stickers on the box/back of phone are wrong! trust me, i work for U.S. Cellular and we have a lot of stickers that are wrong..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aznne0:
I called sprint and they said it was recently activated on OCT and it was not reported Stolen or Lost..

Is this a good sign?

The rep even gave me the name of the person it's under and the actual phone number it's currently activated as.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol some customer privacy! they just give it out.. if you cant make/receive calls from the device then that means the esn was used with another device..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrystal0925:
When u activate on the website it tells u to reprogram the phone and gives u a code

That's one thing I miss about GSM phones you can use any phone even if someone stole it. Not that I support buying stolen things but it helps against scams
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
If you turn it on can you make calls?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aznne0:
I didn't try making a call.. but It asks me to activate.. and i can tell there's reception with a 3G icon that popped up.

Is that a good sign? lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aznne0:
I tried to activate it on the sprint website.. but when i type in the DEC number... it says that it's already been activated on another account.

So i can't proceed any further...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
What looks like had happened is he bought the phone online to sell using his full upgrade. Since he used his upgrade to get it, the device would be activated on his account. The phone itself may not be activated yet, but the ESN is. You need to get ahold of the guy again and have him remove the ESN from his line by swapping the devices. Now if he says that it is already off of the account, and Sprint is reporting otherwise, then he probably did steal the phone from someone else, or never did what he said he did.

Hey has anyone experienced installing magldr in hd2 and when you boot to the bootloader menu everything is blank under the "by Cotulla 2011" below the line....

still de blank menu

after 1min it vibrate's 7 time's
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
For you I would advise trying to download a new copy of MAGLDR. Then run Task 29 then HSPL 2.08 then MAGLDR.

As for the restarting and vibrating 7 times that is a little concerning. That is normally the sign of CPU thermal damage. However it could be your phone heating up because of the bad flash of MAGLDR.

To install Recovery with no hassle, download either the twrp or cwm version & flash with the Nexus Root Toolkit. Faster and less hassle with more working options than the suggested "one click root & Recovery tool for pantech breakout" that was apparently designed for the device.

I've used Google Voice with T-Mobile and Verizon.

I LOVE Sprint since it has a flat rate and I don't have to worry too much about other non-sense like internet speed punishment (T-Mobile), or Verizon's plans per GB. Verizon is cool, fast, but they have cheap ass phones, I guess it's a good profit for them.

I was using Motorola Droid Bionic, returned it as soon as I could (cheap screen). Anyway, Verizon has 2000 minutes for family, and then the 3000 minutes was destroyed, and the unlimited is just $69 more than the 2000 minutes, so it's too expensive

Anyway, I really like Sprint so far. WiMax is NOT 4G LTE, but it's better than cheap T-Mobile.

I like the cool phones (HTC Evo, HTC Evo 4G, HTC Evo 3D, iPhone 4GS, Samsung Galaxy S II...)

So, anybody here uses Sprint + Google Voice?

I've already rooted the phone, now the ONLY thing that I want/need is Sprint to be able to work with Google Voice

I really need to make calls with Google Voice, so far that option is not even installed, and it sucks

Any help will be much appreciated, thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Yea, download google voice from the market, then download sipdroid from the market.. in sipdroid on the bottom first time you run it is a button that says link to google voice, then you will be able to make free/unltd nationwide calls using your google voice number, and still use your sprint number to make calls if you want :-)
