[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dinot:
I know Sammy had to make this model because of some hardware compatability issues with T-Mobile's 3G network, and I've head that the standard international S2 (i9100) won't work with T-Mobile's 3G. If I buy the T-Mobile version, will I be able to use this in Asia? (specifically Thailand).

Right now I'm debating whether to get this or the Sensation. I'd rather get this phone, but I'm moving to Thailand next year, so I just want to make sure everything will work. I've searched everywhere and I haven't found an answer to this question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it will depend which network frequency you are planing to use it on, but the answer is likely yes
[Continuum General] asellite:
Feels like every 30 seconds or so my 3G up/down arrows are replaced with a nasty looking red D? Have I missed a fix for this, or is its just that I'm unaware of a fault of the Continuum. Droid never did this. Even searching through the xda forums my 3G drops like nobodies business. If you guys know what I'm talking about let me know. Seriously, just switched from my Droid days ago and been in all the same places. Never had this problem.

EDIT:

2.2.1

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Baseband: S:i400.0.6V.DL17

Build: SCH-I400.EC03
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
Ur radio is old build. Flash eco7. Tar
[Continuum General] Bierce22:
also make sure your prl is updated open your dialer and dial *228 then itll ask u to activate press 1 or update your roaming capabilities press 2 make sure you press 2 wait for it to finish then reboot.
[Continuum General] asellite:
Great guys thanks for the help, running MUCH better now!
[Continuum General] asellite:
Flashed to EC07 clean and everything is working but the radio is still responding like crap. Every 30 seconds it goes back to D mode and I lose my connection. It's not the area I'm in. I'm on campus at Kent State University... can anyone else think of what might be causing this issue?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Did you update the base band then, or did you just do the prl update?
[Continuum General] asellite:
Here are some details Trailblazer.

Still running EC07_clean.

BUMP: Can anyone diagnose radio discrepancies from the data I've provided?
[Continuum General] asellite:
*bump* pretty much asking if my radio is outdated here guys...
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
Everything but prl. Dial *228
[Continuum General] Bierce22:
newest prl should be 52599 i just updated mine a couple days ago also try running a speed test it could just be verizon has bad data coverage in your area or its really bogged down.

i get around 1.4mbs down from verizon at my house but if you live in a city were a lot of people are using the same cell site youll probably be looking at speeds in the 400-800kbps range
[Defy General] scrannel:
I was reading a thread discussing T-mo customers not being able to get their wifi-calling app to register on the network at all... T-mo tech not sorting it etc. Well, the solution was that customers had to go onto their T-mo profile and register an address for 911 calls. The thread claimed you had to be sure to use an address that was "known". So, if you're sort of remote, you might chose the address of a nearby business. My address is on a private road, so I used a nearby Starbuck's which has T-mo wifi. (My profile originally showed no address listed under 911 BTW). So, cutting to the chase, preliminary test calls this morning have been perfect.

Apparently it's something the FCC is now requiring for ALL voice call applications over wifi.

Have not tested enough to be sure of in-coming calls, but the few out-going have been great for the first time since I had the phone. So, thought I'd toss this out there and see if others would give it a try and compare results?

Here's the thread I got the idea from: http://support.t-mobile.com/message/31679
[Defy General] scrannel:
FWIW, and as a test, here's the changes of my "911 address" with results.

1) Originally never had a 911 address registered: Wifi service worked but was not great.

2) Registered a "known" 911 address near me (concerned mine was not "known" because it was on a private road): Suddenly excellent wifi calling quality.

3) For a test, I then changed my 911 address to my real address: now my wifi app would not even register. Apparently not a "known" address as I presumed.

4) Changed 911 address back to "known" nearby address: Back to great service again.

All these changes were followed by restarts.

On the nvflash 1 click method it says we can uswe this nvflash recovery for backups and just in case and it says we can flash rom manager clockwork for flashing Rome and stuff like that

Is it safe
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
It is safe, nvflash is used to replace the stock recovery with custom recovery (cwm) used to flash roms. You cannot do backups with nvflash you need to flash cwm to do backups.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Once you use the NVFlasher... power down your phone. While off hold down vol-/power to get into the new recovery.

In there you'll see an option for backup/restore. Backup your stock rom before flashing a custom one... just for kicks in case of later issues or warranty exchanges.

http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-800-press-shots-leaked/

It has been awhile since I've seen a phone with that outstanding a general appeal based on hardware aesthetics and running windows phone 7, I don't care if it's one of nokia's low-mid range devices. I have to have one. Your thoughts on this beautiful mesh of hardware and software?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Gugus38:
I think it sucks.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
perhaps I'll get my one-year old one too then. Honestly though, the "Nokia is dead" comment made me laugh a bit, gg.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
It looks pretty cool actually, it reminds me a little of the old ipod nano somehow hehe...the only thing i'm not totally convinced about are those sharp corners, they may feel annoying in the hand.
[Nokia Lumia 800] undercover:
Oh, you are just a perfect example of fanboyism. You are everywhere with wp7 posts.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Gugus38:
Okay, Nokia is not dead, but it would never ever come to my mind to buy a Nokia... its so far behind other brands!
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
Gusgus, howso?

Tinky1, I love how you all ignore your own fanboyism and call anyone who doesn't like android a fanboy. I offer no brand loyalty, if android offered a better UX or iOS offered a better UI/larger screen I'd jump ship in a second.

Vnvman, I agree, the corners might look unpleasant but that was the last form factor I enjoyed for ipods. I hope it's a nice aluminum or something unibody. Real iPhone quality with better software.
[Nokia Lumia 800] upichie:
You are the biggest WP7 fanboy on this entire forum. Please...
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
point proven.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Illicit Hero:
Can't wait although I'm hoping for a 4" to 4.3" screen version. Nokia Ace?
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
They're really pulling some iPhone like secrecy with the ace, the rumor is a 4 inch amoled though.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
People keep saying Nokia is dead and all that jazz. Actually that's just stupid. The latest Nokia meego/symbian/whatever phones kinda suck in terms of internals and software, but they bring some decent build quality to the table. Sure Htc and Samsung don't make bad phones (not even considering LG and Motorola here), but they have their flaws: Htc ones tend to use amazing materials but are generally badly assembled (dust under the screen and such), while Samsung ones are put together very well but i'm not a great fan of plastic, no matter how much "high grade" they call it, plastic will always be/feel CHEAP. I really hope that Nokia steps up the competition with the next WP7 phones, possibly also using up to date internals. If they do that and ICS doesn't improve the situation in the right way, then next year i'll be totally sold.
[Nokia Lumia 800] undercover:
Trust me, while I love Android I don't go shouting all over XDA how good it is. I respect other opinions but hate them being shoved down my throat.

I am not a fanboy of any os whatsoever, Android just suits me most atm, but I have a feeling wp7 will catch up with especially in regards to synching multiple services and devices.

So please, please, stop trying to convince people wp is Da Best and let people decide for themselves.

I'm really sorry for going ot, i'm quite curious regarding how nokia and wp alliance is going to work out myself.
[Nokia Lumia 800] undercover:
Nokia is a very good and trusted brand. I'd love to see them come back. Problem they face is hw. There is no need for octa core tb ram phone to run wp, and while its a good thing, it's not very good for marketing when you compare components with HTC /samsung?.
[Nokia Lumia 800] voyager_s:
The design looks real nice. I especially like the blue version.

Hmmmm...WP7 been tempting me a lot lately. Gonna wait and see how it goes for a while. The OS definitely got a lot of potential i think.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
there's no reason for most computers to run octa-core let alone phone, sadly hardware is android's selling point. I think as long as Nokia continues to put out the most aesthetically pleasing phones out there with the best cameras and outstanding battery life they're known for they'll remain relevant and boost wp7 to new heights.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Illicit Hero:
4 inch is perfect! Less than a week to go.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xaccers:
Last decent Nokia I had was a 6310i

Assuming the pics are genuine and not cgi fakes that really is an uninspiring design.

Did Nokia's designers leave a few years ago or what?
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
I simply post my experiences as any user does. I'm certainly not one to post "wp is da best" there's enough of that in androids favor in every "google vs. ..." thread. My experiences and posts are reasonable and people tend to rage because my opinion does not match theirs. This thread is, however, about the only really aesthetically pleasing device I've seen in some time. The thinness and the shape that does resemble an old iPod nano is a refreshing change from Sammy's plasticky thick toy look and HTC's great parts haphazardly tossed together. I just enjoy the physical aspect, all OS matters aside. Even things like the nexus prime just don't look high quality hardware-wise despite internals.
[Nokia Lumia 800] cobraboy85:
windows 7 phones suck donkey balls. seriously. terrible OS, terrible, software, terrible idea to put that garbage on a phone. if windows 7 phones were the last phones on the planet i would revert to writing letters and sending telegrams because they have a more effective end result.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
I would expect much more intelligent posts in a developer community, sad really. I hope that rage subsides for you though or else puberty is going to suck for you.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xaccers:
Exactly what was unintelligent about his post?

He made a concise and accurate statement regarding his opinion of WP7 devices, an opinion in line with those of the vast majority of the market.

So justify your response, especially as you have resorted to attacking the poster and not the post.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
concise and accurate only from someone who hasn't tried it, you know, Australia is a terrible continent, such donkey balls (I felt like a 12 year old just saying that) and I'd rather live in Rwanda as a Tutse than live there. The economy may be better, the quality of people may be better, hell everything may be better but I'm going to bash something I clearly know too little about to make a valid point.

Xaccers, you and I could both be considered trolls, the only difference is that I'm thoroughly educated on both platforms while you're grasping straws from biased news sources for your anti-WP7 remarks.
[Nokia Lumia 800] harriisnotinabox:
i could of sworn that these forums aren't a place for silly arguments and bias statements.

aside from that, i really like the look of this phone. Nokia has been going through a rough patch in the last 2 years, but recently they seem to have stepped up their game.

Although, it would be nice to see some android devices instead of their symbian devices, symbian is out-dated and lacks a vast majority of apps which is why many people avoid it these days.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
that's windows phone 7, they won't be adopting android. Thank you for your opinion though, the aesthetics on that phone really are awesome though. Glad to see Nokia adopting an OS that isn't outdated, Symbian and meego were funny.
[Nokia Lumia 800] spirikitik:
Respond to the post not the poster and attacking him like he hooked up with your mom, most people here are really dump, always argue and fight everyone.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xaccers:
I can't vouch for Cobra, no idea if he's had the misfortune of using WP7 or not, but I certainly have used it which is why I have to agree with Cobra's statement. Had I not used it my comments would be in regard to it's poorly designed interface and lack of required features.

Having used it I can genuinely say it is the worst smartphone OS I've ever used.

I don't rely on misinformation or biased websites such as those you have been exposed as frequenting, and I try where ever possible to read original articles rather than a rehashed version, again as you have been found to re-quote.

I also don't make flamebait posts about an OS in threads which have nothing whatsoever to do with said OS, the same cannot he said about you.

As for you being thoroughly educated on both platforms many of your previous comments regarding android have shown a surprising lack of knowledge which has led some of us to question your claim of being an android user let alone a developer.

The 800 reminds me of a flattened pipe.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
When a post reflects one's intellect and said intellect is shown to be... Less than satisfactory any psychotherapist could tell you that that type of person will respond best to ridicule. It's the same foundation as the teacher who catches the kid sleeping through class and calls him up to solve the equation he slept through. When a post has no valid point and is strictly flaming little is offered to respond to. I could have sunk to his level, completely belittling myself and called him a half-functional moderately illiterate ****tard and told him that the intelligent part of him must have run down his mother's leg but I chose to approach the matter in a much more reasonable way because this is not a forum for flaming or trolling. It's a developer community that I've been a part of for some time now and have watched slowly degrade. I'm pretty sure the longest run-on sentence ever is in there somewhere. I'm walking ACU and not really paying attention to what I'm typing.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
you've stated in the past that your android device is smoother and more responsive than WP7 so that claim is out the window. You don't even have a particularly good android device based on your signature.

Edit: previous signature.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xaccers:
I don't recall ever listing my devices in my signature...

Zee, WP7 has finally addled your brain, time for you to put the phone down and seek help ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
Ah, perhaps you just mentioned it. I don't recall exactly what it was, too many people randomly trolling my posts but you'll always have a special place in my heart. :-p
[Nokia Lumia 800] xaccers:
I just pick you up on the misinformation you commonly spout Zee, that is not trolling.

Likewise if I said my android phone made the perfect cup of tea it wouldn't be trolling if someone pointed out I was talking bollocks.

Likewise, I don't recall saying any of my android devices were smoother than the WP7 devices I've used.

PS love you too man
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
You've stated that android was smoother than wp7 and that we hide it in animations, alas I'm not in the mood to post-dive. Android seemed smooth enough but after WP7 it's tough to look at. That will always be my biggest complaint, those FPS really start to register.
[Nokia Lumia 800] cobraboy85:
z33dev,

Don't be ignorant. I have not used windows 7? Really? Pretty sure I am running it on my laptop, right alongside Ubuntu. And guess what? I HATE windows. I can't imagine having the garbage on a slower device that I would be forced to interact with on a day to day basis. And for the record, I have indeed had the unfortunate pleasure of using a windows 7 phone. And I still hated it even on a phone that all I did was browse the web and text message on. Putting windows 7 on ANY phone is a waste of hardware because windows 7 is terribly inefficient and not self managing in the way android is. When you have a device that is up and running for weeks straight, you cannot rely on anything other than Unix/Linux in my opinion.

I love how you assume I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about, however, and still spout about your ridiculous obsession with windows 7 phones simply based on the UI. I hope you have fun with your boring OS... what are you going to do with that phone running licensed and copyrighted software? Flash a custom rom? Enable wireless tethering? Customize it to your liking and personality? No. You won't.

I just don't see the infatuation with the OS. What are you going to do write a report in microsoft word on your phone? Get real dude.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
oh man, its coming up on 5 am and I was almost asleep but the level of stupidity in this post made me laugh myself awake. Man, that was terrible. My stomach actually hurts.
[Nokia Lumia 800] cobraboy85:
lol dude you are beyond dumb.

do you actually have your phone notify you when somebody responds to one of your posts? that's sad. i will play along and keep you awake since i have to be up anyways.

your phone sucks by the way. (i will resort to your method of counter argument)

And to address your "iphones are laggy/slow" comments that pollute the forum, you should probably get a decent job and stop working at mcdonald's so you can afford something other than a samsung intercept

EDIT**** somewhere in your rambling i saw something about awesome office integration... what good is a phone for compiling huge reports and spread sheets? seriously, that is retarded. the first thing you will do if you need to type something up is get your lap top out. phones are good for compiling documents that have already been put together, or viewing them. that's it. don't even sit there and try to tell me you actually use microsoft office on your w7 phone. if you do, you are pretty dumb.

and don't try to say you need a windows 7 phone to view documents either because i can view any document on my evo... excel, word, .pdf, power point.. whatever. but i have a lap for other office tasks.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
Ok, you have to be trolling because everything you've said thus far is wrong. I mean initially it could be blamed on misconception or ignorance but given the most recent statement, you can't be anything more than a mere troll.
[Nokia Lumia 800] cobraboy85:
oh yeah of course. i am just a troll which is why people have thanked me for some kind of useful information on average 1 out of every 5 of my posts based on post count.

while you on the other hand... have been around here for 3 years... and based on your numbers, people find you say something useful every 1 out of ~20 posts.

based on those numbers, i am 4 times more useful/relevant around here than you are (and that's not even my opinion, that is strictly other people's opinion... ) and have been here a fraction of the time (august)

but i am a troll? lol.

DIAF
[Nokia Lumia 800] wendellc:
Probably gonna get this as my intro into WP7. When is this going to be released?
[Nokia Lumia 800] xsacha:
Well the device looks exactly the same as the N9 (which is out now). Just different OS.
[Nokia Lumia 800] cobraboy85:
z33 where did you go? did i just ruin your night by proving to you your existence here on xda is worthless? (again not even my opinion, but apparently others)

you should think before you post next time. you TROLL

night douche.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
Maybe you're not trolling on a daily basis, but right now you are. You keep confusing WP7 and Win7 proving you don't have a clue: in some of your posts i see you talking about things like "putting windows 7 on a phone" and other plain raging nonsense. Nice argument really: you say Win7 is slow on your laptop so WP7 (which is a completely different platform) will be even slower on phones? Omg man, now you MUST be trolling...cause if you're not you'd better fully wipe your brain, dalvik included...
[Nokia Lumia 800] cobraboy85:
^hahahaha... oh shiiiit

well, z33 is still retarded

EDIIITT**** never mind, i was KINDA correct. not windows 7, but still windows, on a phone.... so i stick to my previous arguments that windows does not belong on a phone. terrible. O. S.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vikas776:
The day u gonna remove mr official galaxy s hater from ur signature that day most of people sure take ur comment as a option.

u hate galaxy or android phones and i love galaxy and android phones

but there is no need to justify each other.

i love wp7 same goes to u also i guess

hell even i just bought nokia n9 and yes it also impressed me

stop replying to every opinion or troll post if u think it is

Learn to ignore things buddy :)

sorry for my bad eng.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
Well cobraboy, I see that someone else took care of the comedy after I fell asleep and kindly explained to you that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The funny thing is that you continue to blindly stand by your point out of sheer stupidity and over the name "windows" rather than anything pertaining to the OS itself. I suppose if they'd called it the Xphone (relating to the Xbox) that you'd be praising it's speed and fluidity, how about integration? Nope, you're a fanboy, the blindest I've witnessed firsthand at that. It's much easier to get "thanks" as an android fan in a forum that is predominately android. I actually saw 4 thanks on a post that said something along the lines of "android is best better den apple" because there are other blind loyalists like yourself so your argument is rendered invalid.

Vikas, the day they stop overhyping underwhelming phones I'll get right on there. The captivate and vibrant were absolutely horrid.

And they will be announcing the release dates in a week :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] PoisonWolf:
I hope for your sake that the 85 in your nick doesn't represent your birth year.

I've never seen such a belligerent and ignorant statement. There is nothing wrong with Microsoft products in general, be it desktops or phones.

This is coming from someone who uses both Windows 7, Mac OSX, Android, and Windows Phone 7, and Windows 8 DAILY. The point I'm trying to make here? Every single platform has its benefits and weakness. I believe that diversity is advantageous.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Gusar321:
His post is actually pretty much the same as your posts regarding Android.

Also, on the one hand you're so against people saying even a tiny bit against your person, but here you engage in full-on ad-hominems. There's a word for such behavior.

Of course now comes a predictable retort how very wrong I am, and how you're "just stating opinions" and such.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
given his statements since, I'd say my replies were at least decently accurate, if not spot-on. The difference between my android posts and his WP7 posts is that I'm educated in android. He thought my phone, which he said was the Samsung intercept (low-end android device I believe?) ran the desktop OS, windows 7. To utilize a quote I saw in a recent YouTube video by an android fan watching ICS, "My brain just pooped."
