I came from Atrix to i9100. stock motoblur was garbage but after BL unlock and flashing some 2.3.4 ROMs it actually ran pretty nice! I liked that you could define long press behaviour (ie long press of home opened SMS app) - that's about the only thing I miss.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonxm05:
Hi guys

Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question but I’m a bit confused with connection between ROMs and Modems.

I have flashed a few custom ROMs to my SGS2 and have found that some of the cooks have included modems in their ROMs.

To my understanding Modems are specific per country and not all modems work well in all countries. I am located in Israel and the official Samsung ROM from the mobile provider is I9100TJIKG1

After flashing a custom ROM (SensatioN by CRYSIS) using CWM I found that I no longer have HSPA and my maximum connection speed is Edge.I tried dong a restore from CWM this restored my ROM but not the modem. I then flashed back to my original ROM via Odin (was able to find a copy) but this does full flash.

My questions are as follows

Is there a way to flash just the modem via CWM or Odin? (preferably CWM)

Does the Modem have to be compatible with the ROM?

If I find a custom ROM I like can change just the Modem?

How do I choose a modem? Is there any logic in the naming of the modems that can help me identify if the modem is compatible prior to flashing?

Thanks

Jonx

Hello!

I have problems with my X10 Mini,

I upgraded android software from 1.6 to 2.1, Sony Ericsson official.

The problem is that I can receive SMS, my operator tells me to fix SMS Center, which is not found in version 2.1 of Android (Eclair).

In version 1.6, is found in Settings> Wireless and Networks> Mobile Networks> SMS Center

But it does not appear in 2.1.

The grateful if you help me fix it!

It's very overwhelming to work all on the phone, and can not receive messages.

PD: I'm from Argentina and my carrier is Claro.

Original Language:

Thanks so much!! :D :D :D

Dial this number: *#*#4636#*#*

This will take you to the service menu, select Phone Infomation, then scroll down to where there is an input box for SMSC (short message service centre), enter the number of the SMS centre of your operator, click 'Update'.

I know this is not entirely related to the topic.

Could you let me know any other such codes, for various other purposes.

I know one other: *#06# for IMEI code (This is for all phones, of course)

Do you have a notification in your phone about "Low Memory Space" or something like that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kyhassen:
I have done my research on both the products, but one thing i didnt notice mentioned alot is if you drop the phone a lot. I tend to get bumped into a lot while holding my phone in my hand and i always end up with a spider cracked screen. happened on my palm pre, and evo shift a couple of times. but when i get this phone i want to get a good case but not mega bulky. if i was to have the commuter and i dropped it, would it be ok still or would the defender be a better choice?

but i heard the commuter has a crappy silicon part on the top, is that something to worry about?

plus i never usually buy cases for phones so this will be the first time buying a case for a phone.

sry for another otterbox post.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Thatoneguy.:
Ive had both. I broke two commuters before moving to a defender. Dropped, kicked, and thrown and not	single scratch. Highly recommend
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
I have a Commuter that I'm happy with, but I'm not prone to dropping.

The Commuter is a 'nicer' case that provides protection against average manhandling while the Defender is an indestructible brick and better for high-risk users.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kyhassen:
ok thank you guys, that helps :-) I did hear that a skydiver had the defender one day and drop it at he jumped out of the plain (not on purpous, was an accident), but when he landed he went to find his phone thanks to gps finder on it, landed on in a grassy patch only thing happened was spider cracked the screen but he could still make calls with it. i was impressed by the story i almost dont believe it lol.

Tried at fitting of the defender with Photon at Radio shack. OMG, that thing was a tank, thought i warped back to the 80's cell era.

I am in the construction field but still couldn't stoop to that big of a case although defender is protective and looks like it would do its job well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jamesdwalters:
I had the defender but bought dock for at work. Since i couldn't use it with the case i put on a zagg invisible shield and am loving it.

screen protector required?

If I buy the otterbox defender will I still need a screen guard?

otterbox defender is available for around $30 on eBay.whereas it is out of stock on otterbox.com. is it original?

Nope defender has built in screen protector
[Motorola Photon 4G] noefects:
I love the commuter, I work at a desk all day long so its safe in a corner for most of the day, also bought a cheap window mount and cut the protruding bit of the smaller support arm off so i can keep it in its case when pop it in the window mount, works so well i drive a crappy old truck with NO shocks left and it has yet to pop out of the mount.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Had my Defender for a couple of months now and think it's very good. I do take the phone out now and again then I see the screen how it should be, was tempted to keep it out but then the screen got a little scratch so it's back in the Defender on a permanent basis. But it's a man's case for sure :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kyhassen:
i changed my plans due to the size of the screen and faster processor. i have had the E4GT for a week now and im loving it. best choice i have done :-D
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
Support sucks for that phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] JonandRoid:
yeah i got the defender off some overstock website that usually sells boat parts...weird right. well i was a little skeptical at first but when i got it, seemed legit. think it was about 28 with shipping or close to that. the defender is massive...but as some of the other guys were saying, i also have huge hands so its not a problem. the case does come with a screen protector built in, and also a camera hole cover which is stupid because the case is pretty deep where the camera hole is and once dirt gets down in there its almost impossible to get it out.. so i took the little camera hole protector off and now take the case off to clean it and the camera area on my phone..otherwise the case is awesome and the belt clip comes in handy since im a commercial plumber and keep my phone on my side all day. it is a breath of fresh air sometimes to take it out of the case (to clean or put in my pocket on the weekends) and see truly how thin this phone is and realize, "hey, this is a dual core phone and has extremely good battery life" (compared to the droid 2)...i love this phone and have truly enjoyed the 4g speeds in which i have downloaded several files (torrents lol) up to 3.x gb in size in less that an hour or 2...amazing...i love it and if you want to protect your phone to the max, get this..but if you dont think you will be throwing or dropping or work as a construction worker or something that involves physical labor, id get the commuter so you can still fit it in your pocket. you may be able to fit it in your pocket but the rubber gets caught on the inside of your pocket and makes it hard to get it in and when you get it out its also a pain...so take the advise or try it out for yourselves
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:

[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:

Qudstion for the community ? Can anyone verifya 3500 seidio batt will fit in a defender case without the stock batt door and just use the case to secure the batt.. mainly wondering on dimensions here 3500 is thick batt but the defender.case is thick too so the difference may be the same
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Well said!! I just got Defender yesterday. I really did not know what to say, but damm. I had 3 chicks last night at bar that loved the case but were playing Paper Plane. My brother loves it. My daughter loves it. Bartender gave me free drink.

I think I just found everyone Christmas Present! Shannon has iPhone4. Jason has Evo Slide. His wife has BB. Marla has HTC Inspire. Derrick has iPhone too. Mr. Lipscomb is rocking Photon with me. Mari and her husband have Evo's (actually her husband has my old Evo). Dennis had Inspire.

I figure, $30.00 off Amazon, $270.00 and Christmas is a done deal!

[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
From what I have read/heard, updates are far and few and they usually break more than they actually fix! (and thats all Samsung phones. Even my Swedish, UK, and Austrialian. Kenji from Japan dissed his!)

I got the Defender off Amazon for $34.XX and it qualified for free Shipping. Upgraded to that Amazon Access for free and they shipped 2-day?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xisaacbx:
well everyone is entitled to there own opinion. =P I just couldn't stand how laggtastic the photon was, plus the pintile display bugged me to much. As for support from Samsung I really don't care. I know our devs are hard at work bringing us an ics and miui rom. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kbrn:
There's no other case like Otterbox Cases Period!!

I bought a commuter case since the first day I got my Mopho (about a month ago)

I broke my case by accident when I tried to connect the mini usb cable, I emailed otterbox and they replaced the case for free.

their customer service is just cool!

They are expensive but worth every single penny.

[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
That's true with anything made by Samsung that needs firmware updates.

The Pintile display doesn't bother me at all. Much sharper display than my LG Optimus S was.

Also, I want to get me an Otterbox Defender. I drop this phone easily, its so slippery. Also, since I work around construction equipment (City Street Department), I want it so I won't break the glass.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Herk_FE:
The difference for me is that I need a hip case as I don't keep my phone in my pocket. The commuter while slimmer can only go in a pocket. The defender at lest has a belt clip and holster.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Good point. That is why I own the Defender™ Series.

[Motorola Photon 4G] VegasRooted:
Commuter Case on Photon (and notes on the Epic 4G Touch)

I have the Commuter on my Photon and love it; I don't use a screen protector with it, since I keep it in my front pocket all by itself with the screen facing inward.

Also, just a note: I sold my Photon and bought a Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch about a month ago, used it for about three weeks, and then dumped it and bought a Photon again...

The E4GT is a "pretty" phone that is fast & thin, the Amoled display is very nice, but you can't beat the Photon for it's vastly superior radio & data connectivity, better voice & speakerphone quality, much better GPS lock and accuracy, etc...basically, everything that (to me) makes a smartphone a smartphone.

A few side-by-side examples of what I consider to be critical differences between the Photon & the E4GT:

Data Connectivity

I stream audio every day on my 50 minute (round trip) commute to work using 3G, taking the same route every time; with the Photon I average perhaps one lost connection (rebuffering) every three trips, but the E4GT lost connection (on average) 2-3 times EVERY trip, and not necessarily in the same locations.

Voice Connectivity/Reception

Over the course of about three months with my first Photon, I dropped calls MAYBE four times. With the E4GT, I dropped that many calls in the first week alone... (and it continued to have spotty reception after that...if you ask anyone who has owned both phones, they will tell you how much better the Photon performs in this regard...and that is AFTER the latest Samsung OTA update was applied)

GPS

GPS lock and accuracy on the E4GT was almost comical for me coming from the Photon; even after using software and programming menu tweaks to clear GPS cache, calibrate GPS receiver, etc... By contrast, the Photon's GPS lock and accuracy are spot-on, right out of the box.

If the Epic Touch kept it's Amoled screen but packed the insides of the Photon, I would take it...but until that happens, the Photon is absolutely the best phone I have ever owned...If you are itching to leave the Photon for the E4GT, I recommend that you DO NOT sell your Photon until AFTER you have used the E4GT for at least a few weeks...

Cheers! :)

Oh yeah, the commuter would be perfect if you don't want something bulky. Although the defender is substantially more rugged if you're looking to protect your screen from its imminent doom.

I'm looking to get rid of a photon defender otterbox, if anyone is looking for one ;)....
[Motorola Photon 4G] AGiLiT:
I too like a hip case and got the Platinum case, which seemed to be the best option at BestBuy when I bought my phone last week. I was happy to find the case was actually made by Seidio, but after a week, I was still a little concerned that it was a little too thin to offer much protection against dropping, which is what happened to me at least once a day with my last case/holster combination I got from Sprint for my EVO Shift (it just kept popping off my hip.) Thankfully, the case was really strong and I never had a single scratch or problem with the phone.

Even though I hadn't had a drop yet, I went to look at Otter cases last night and thought the Defender was just too bulky for my needs. I got the Commuter case and for grins and giggles, tried it in the Platinum holster. Lo and behold - a perfect fit!

Now this is a very expensive way to get to this solution, but if anyone already has a holster and a case they're not happy with, check out whether the Commuter will fit in your holster.

Hello everyone,

I am using a Samsung Captivate with MIUI ROM 2.3.5(1.10.7) and really like it. Congratulations to the developers.

I have google voice installed and its configuration gives an option to make calls from GV, but when I chose 'Ask me everytime' and make a call, it would not give me the option to choose and always use AT&T and not GV. Is there anything I am missing? Have anyone else tried this and got it working?

Thanks:confused:

are you sure you've assigned yourself a phone number via google voice online? the default phone number google assigns you only works for outgoing browser based calls. you have to change it to unlock texting and get full calling capabilities

Thanks for your replies.

Yes, I have a google assigned number. I can use it to send and receive texts. Problem is with making voice calls.

For voice mail also, I am using the same GV number and it works. Also the calls to my GV number get forwarded to the mobile. All these works except outbound calls from my mobile made using GV. It is going out through GSM and not thru data.

Thanks again
