Hmm I did not know that. I thought the Nexus S had it. I knew the N1 didn't but I thought the Nexus S would. Interesting... I already made the leap over to the GS2. Now i'm gearing up to sell my senation

Ill also be keeping my sgs2. I'd have to pay full price for an unlocked LR retail version since I used my upgrade and the minimal differences don't make it worth it for me. If I couldn't load different roms it'd be a different story

I've owned four different iPhones and after the iPhone 4 went to the Galaxy S. I loved my iPhone honestly it is a very polished product, I just hate iTunes, **** sucks straight up. Most people I know hate iTunes too, even people at the apple store hate iTunes, so it's pretty much the only reason I left Apple products. I fell in love with Android the first time I rooted my Galaxy S, it let me do so much with the phone.

I've had jailbroken iPhones since the first one came out, Jailbroken I can say from an end user like myself is not as customizable as a rooted Android device. I don't do IT work and know a lot less about computers in general than everyone here, but I have used the crap out of phones and have had jailbroken iPhones and had a ton of different roms.

What I can't take away from Apple is they pioneered the industry for smartphones. That's my .02 which like people say probably isn't worth .02. lol

Let's just hate on iTunes. haha

Its laughable to say a camera is better just because the MPs are higher. Its like saying this car is better than that because it has more horsepower...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jjesusfreak01:
True, but practically, it doesn't make a difference. The Atrix doesn't have a full size hdmi port, so you have to carry the hdmi cable with you if you want to use it somewhere, as you'll need to carry the mhl adapter with you for the sgs2 or nexus.

Well, at least this phone should run ICS significantly faster than the Galaxy Nexus when it eventually gets it. Our faster GPU and much lower res screen will make this phone scream on ICS. Don't think I'll be getting a Galaxy Nexus.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TechSilver13:
I had an iPhone 3g, 3GS, 4, and 4s. I now have a GSII. I use to think a jailbroken iPhone WAS better than an android phone until I used an android phone (first was infuse now GSII). An Android phone OUT OF THE BOX is better than a jailbroken iPhone, the ONLY thing an iPhone that's jailbroken has over a rooted Android is THEMES! Hands down iPhones have amazing themers BUT it takes a LONG time to get an iOS firmware jailbroken, Android has updated ROMs with the newer versions of the OS BEFORE the damn OS even OFFICIALLY comes out...now thats impressive!! O MIUI is actually better IMO now than a themed iPhone! I will probably never own an iPhone again, next year I hope I will have a 4.5" 720p 1.5gb of ram QUAD core 2ghz ANDROID! It WILL happen!

I have not been the route that you have... 3GS to SGS2 but I have to say that now that I have dipped my toe into the Android waters I also will never go back to IOS.

It is amazing how many issues that one may have are already discovered and resolved here (not to mention issues that I have not even seen yet already resolved)!

This is a great community and all I can say is that I am not leaving my SGS2 for QUITE some time... Maybe the SGS4 or 5 when I am again upgrade eligible ! LoL

any help would be appreciated.

thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Flash CF-Root of choice (from your firmware info) > flash stock kernel (to get rid of the yellow triangle) > then extract the CF-Root you flashed earlier (it should be extracted to a zImage) and open the cwm manager and select flash kernel then choose the zImage file..

Edit: dial *#1234# to know your phone info..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
You need to flash KH1.zip to root. If you extract the .zip then you will get .tar file, which you should flash in Odin under PDA option. If you extract that .tar further then you will get the a zImage, which you need to flash via CWM which is already installed on your device with the option Flash Kernel.

i have been having problems with my phone and tried updating it to the GB RUU. It still had problems so i sent in for a new one and i came in the mail today. The problem is that it is still S-off and i was wondering if it could be madse S-on while not rooted and if not is there a way to root it since it is S-off
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
To get s-on you would need a custom recovery installed and the stock froyo radio 2.15.00.07.28 then flash the s-on patch on the unrevoked site. Since your s-off all you need to do is flash clockwork recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. Then flash the stock froyo radio also as a PB31IMG.zip. Then flash the s-on patch thru recovery. After that just run an ruu and your phone will be complete stock again. You can find all the files you need here http://pvillecomp.com/, except the s-on patch wich you can get on the unrevoked forever site here http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever .

I purchased an unlocked P925 from Ebay (says P925 on label behind the battery)...I loaded up the V21a_00.kdz file with Gingerbread. It now shows on the phone software as P920. Not a problem. Everything is working perfectly...email, mms, web, 3D apps, etc... Just like a newly purchased phone...just on T-Mobile service.

I'm using the phone on T-Mobile and my connection shows "H" in metro areas and "3G" in other areas. My "H" gets 9.7mb download and 1.9mb upload speeds (using speedtest).
[LG Thrill 4G] eastbayarb:
Can you tell me where you got the files (and perhaps tutorial) to load the P925 with that file and gingerbread? Also, did you have to change any of the APN settings?

wow and you got 3/4g working with tmo too. that is impressive

on other note, the model number =lgp920 under your setting, i think its just the rom base for o3d. with editor and root, it can be changed to anything.

plus we can tether straight from setting
[LG Thrill 4G] boringkajj:
You are correct....the LG-P920 displayed in the software settings is just from the ROM. Everything works 100%...tethering, mms, sms, 3d camera, regular camera, etc... I don't see how getting it working on T-Mo was anything special...I just did loaded the .kdz, put in the apn settings for T-Mo, and it works groovy from there on out.
[LG Thrill 4G] anduios:
your phone as you say is u.s att p925. it does not have 1700 band (hardware) radio in it. Without that band, you could theoretically get only edge on tmo. but somehow you got 3/4g without it and it seems little strange. technically p925 not suppose to get 3/4g on tmo.

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_thrill_4g-3886.php

as you can see it lacks 1700mhz

i am happy for you and hope others on tmo would get it working

to wipe your internal memory (which should wipe your settings, passwords, etc), wipe data/factory reset.

to wipe the sdcard (which holds your notes, pictures, etc), you can format it (if you are using clockworkmod, there is an option under "mounts and storage" that allows you to format the sdcard. if you are using another recovery such as amonra, i am not exactly sure if there is such an option; if there isnt an option for this, you can just partition your sdcard into two partitions, and repartition back to one partition).
