[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
Yeah, I've got to say that I am pretty surprised at how easily the bezel scratches. The phone fell out of my coat pocket as I was hanging it on the back of a wood chair. As it was falling it barely grazed the wood leg on the chair before hitting the carpet. I picked it up and looked and sure enough, there is a scuff on the bezel that refuses to rub off.

Luckily my case should be here in a day or two to cover it. But it does have me thinking, I don't think it's the actual metal that is showing the scratch. I think the bezel has some clear coating on it that is showing marks very easily. I bet there is a way to wipe the coating off or at least buff out any marks with some sort of solution and a microfiber towel.

hm...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rpolito73:
The bezel is not metal. It is plastic. Thats why it scratches so easily and will not rub out....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rodolfo7171:
I'm pretty sure that its made of metal. coming from the original vibrant which is made of plastic. it feels noticeably different.

also all the other variants of the gs2 are made of plastic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daddymatt:
Just to confirm its plastic. I take these apart for a living... IV had just about every Galaxy phone apart too.... the ones that look and feel like metal have a "metal like" coating (that scratches super easy) but from underneath once its removed you can see its plastic.... as a matter of fact, Sammy doesn't use hardly anything BUT plastic in there devices... the vibrant, GS4G, i9100, AT&T and T-Mobile versions... all plastic. They have a frame in the middle that's made out of that material they use in laptops... maybe coated aluminum? Its tan or silver in the phones but very strong and very light, and if you snap it in half, it almost looks like cast iron... anyway, bezels are plastic, just coated to look and feel metal like.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rodolfo7171:
Yea realized that now that I dropped it.such a huge disappointment
[Focus General] CingZack:
Is there a way to tether/create hotspot on the focus with the Mango update? I did see something in another thread about how it may be carrier specific(this is for At&t)

Any insight would be appreciated
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
If you are unlocked (developer/chevron), you can.

AT&T will not provide you the tethering ability, but some other carriers will.

However not now and certainly not for first generation phones (Omnia7, Focus, HD7 etc).
[Galaxy Tab General] kolor9:
I didnt reflash galaxy tab, was probably installing some software from the market. Now the battery has died, i restarted it and it keeps restarting after the logo... help, i dont know any recovery options :S Kies has nothing
[Galaxy Tab General] ddamours:
I'm having the same issue. It sounds like a fastboot -w is required to wipe out userdata and cache.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get my PC to recognize my tablet in fastboot mode. I might have to send my tablet back to Samsung to get reflashed.
[Galaxy Tab General] texasreb:
That has happened to me when I was having battery issues. I was able to keep connecting and disconnecting the charger cable until I got my tab to work again.
[Galaxy Tab General] kolor9:
yeah might be that as well, i noticed strange behavior for last weeks, suddenly it started draining battery very fast or shutting down in the middle of the battery. running very slow and freezing.

when connected to pc it always goes: connect/disconnect/connect/... (hearing windows sounds for that)

i fully charged that yesterday, will try to boot today.

HOWEVER i was able to get into recovery menu, wipe/delete cache, sdcard, factory reset, etc.

might be that firmware/rom/bootstrap has been fuked up when battery died suddenly?

sharing experience

Hi guys

I didn't install new apps, no updates, no battery weak problem, no connect/disconnect problem, had DiP7's 2.3.3 rom since 10th July, very stable & solid. Not a single problem.

But my SGT GSM suddenly reboot-loop. I was just reading emails, reviewing photos.

Solutions: -

Enter recovery mode, Wipe date/Factory reset without wiping dalvik/battery stats etc. It just works and could run Titanium Backup to restore if I needed.

But ............................. Alternatives??? (New Life???): -

Tried HC_RC1, was good, but not daily driver yet, finally jumped to BOCA's 2.3.7, still playing around.
[Galaxy Tab General] texasreb:
You may need to open up your tab and do the battery disconnect procedure. I finally had enough with my tab and opened it up. So far I am happy again.
[Galaxy Tab General] ceperz:
i have some issue to :(

anyone can resolve it?

always reboot , and if i want to open keyboard, it restarting again :(
[Galaxy Tab General] recondo1202:
Thanks for the suggestion but it did not work for me...I experienced same problem you mentioned below except I had gone on vacation and my tab battery died and when I was able to recharge it, it just recycles through the Samsung logo!

Tried all the suggestions on this site and no luck so far...I'm guessing it might be time to take it in to Tmobile and see what they have to say, probably not much!

I'm not ever going to get a Samsung tablet again...Asus from here on out!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] ronak.super:
if its gsm go to overcome restocking method
[Galaxy Tab General] fabricatedhero:
Just go into recovery mode by holding volume down+power button.

Wipe everything then do a hard reset in recover screen.

If not do this.

Go here and download gbsafe_v5. Zip. It has everything you need including drivers and odin files

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317384

Also download overcome-kernel_4. 0.tar file as well.

Once you downloaded these two files plug in your tab to usb and wait for that phone and pc screen or download mode screen.

Go here and follow steps up to 10.

magrathearoms.weebly.com/install.html

Your phone is now stock'ish GB with OC'ed kernel including custom clockwork recovery. This version also comes with phone capabilities unlocked so you can use it like a real phone. All you have to do is load tmobile. Modem file. If not then use as wifi only.
[Galaxy Tab General] cx5:
It's been few days since ur post. But I'll give it a shot for trying to suggest.

Try holding power button for 8 seconds to properly power off. Then charge it for a good hour before starting the unit.

Else just keep charging it. Standard times are 4 hours to get zero to 100%.

Once my power used till zero and no response what so ever even after charge 5 mins. Finally let it charge 1 good hour & it came back to life.

Good luck.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnitte:
I currently have CM 7.1 (i believe yesterdays nightly, though clockwork seems to not be picking up update.zip or even gapps.zip) installed and wifi only seems to work after a reboot (or three), but once wifi cuts out its unable to connect to any wifi again (turning it off/on doesnt help).

On top of this, google services framework keeps force closing and so does any app I try to open after this (and google seems to crash whenever the wifi is acting up).

ON TOP OF THAT.... almost everything in the market shows up as "incompatible", even with a modified build.prop (even after wiping data/cache for market and google services)

[HD7 General] gloves085:
Please delet if double posted.

Sorry, Only got a minute to come here and say HD7 has a firmware update out now via Zune. I am downloading as we speak. Don't know yet if it is Zune fix or Wi-fi tether, will try to report back later.

I am using unbranded HD7 in UK.

Update: Doesn't appear to be an obvious option for tethering, am playing a known problem album now to see if phone resets. If it plays the whole album I will assume that is fixed and report back.

I t would seem the Zune crash is fixed, I had a guaranteed fail at a certain point in an album and have played past that. Only time will tell if this is a full fix but all good so far. xD
[HD7 General] Snow Monkey:
Hey gloves, can you post the firmware details etc after update?

[HD7 General] Snow Monkey:
Thanks gloves. What's odd is that Zune isn't finding this update for me? I had been wondering if my update to Mango was complete and the lack of this update for me may prove it!

[HD7 General] wheresmybeaver:
Anybody on O2 in the UK or Ireland getting firmware updates?

There was the regular firmware update shortly after the Mango update a few weeks ago that enabled the compass etc for Marketplace mango apps.

There is now supposed to be a firmware update that enables Internet Connection Sharing as O2 allows ICS without additional data plans; of course their support team have no idea what I'm talking about when I ask them when the ICS firmware update is due for my HD7.

USB tethering is working fine for now but it's a bit inconvenient having to constantly reboot between tethering and Zune mode.

[HD7 General] Magpir:
I have updated it , few days ago,

Good - update seems to fix battery problems on asia phones. Battery saver was not working before update, now its working. Battery indicator is more accurate after sleep mode. Charging the phone seems to really charge it and not give a false reading . Power consumption during sleep mode is lesser

Bad- phone cid /mid changed so cant revert back to nodo, flash earlier stock rom and of course cant be used with DFT for installing custom roms.

[HD7 General] wheresmybeaver:
Actually just connected with Zune and got my update, I have internet sharing now on my HD7 on O2 Ireland. I've been reading on wmpoweruser that an O2 UK user has got the same update with internet sharing too, so practically everyone Europe-wide is getting the update simultaneously.

I'm on Bootloader 5.10 now, so there's definitely no flashing to be done in the short term. Radio is 5.71.09.02a if that means anything to anyone.

[HD7 General] dougolupski:
I got mine flashed yesterday, so far it has seemed to fix the zune player locking issue and at least on mine I had some mango slow down which is now gone. The phone is snappy again.

Also one other thing I have noticed is the radio performs better with data and I can now consistently connect over wifi. I was having issues downloading over wifi networks from day one on the phone but all seems well now. 12 hours of music listening and no lockups, YES!

Hope it stays like that and the rest notice the same.

[HD7 General] NachoNut:
Wait are you saying that was the issue with having wifi on and it still using your 3G signal? I had that issue forever and would have to shut off my 3G to make sure it was using wifi...
[HD7 General] dougolupski:
That is correct, I have had the same issue but even when I turned the radio off I had issues with wifi. It would show a connection but the speed would be terrible and it got worse one I got the Mango update. I downloaded four albums from the zune market place yesterday, radio was on connected to work wifi. I looked at the usage on t-mo site and it shows only 12 megs of data used. YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!! IT F'ING WORKS, at least for now.

Like I said it's to early to tell but my phone has now made me fall back in love with it. 5 hours of all song shuffle with zune player and no lock ups. I couldn't even get that with Mango days.

Gameloft has been using its own game engine. It was supposed to switch to Unreal 3 starting with March of Heroes, but MoH was canceled. But look for future GL games to be using the new game engine.

BTW, Shadowgun uses the Unity engine, which has a free Windows version for would-be game devs. The non-pro Android add-in costs $400, which is still peanuts relatively speaking.
