[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cr1130:
Forgive me if this has been already answered as I was unable to locate an answer for this specific phone. Is there any way on our T-Mobile Galaxy S2s to have a different tone for each notification? I tried to change indivudually under each of the repective settings but no dice. 1 notification tone for all. Really? I hope there is a work around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
there's an App for that...

I use Rings Extended + RingDroid + Zedge, you can find them in the market free

then you can choose from a wide variety of alerts, music, mp3, or even make your own! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Flash23:
I got a similar question... How can I set my messages to vibrate only? I only get it to vibrate with a tone but I don't want that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
set vibrate to always? (in settings > sound)

also you can do it independently for each App that you use, like SMS, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Gmail etc

each of them has their own separate settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cr1130:
Ok cool. I have zedge already so i gotta get the other 2 I presume? Thank you much kind sir. Will hit the thanks button as soon as i hit my pc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] camf3xu:
just go into messages, hit your menu button and go to settings, then down to ringtones. is that what ur asking?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cr1130:
Thanks all. I was able to change the tones on email and sms. Just a little green to the Sammy phones. Forgive my noobage.
[Thrive General] Zesty01:
I know alot of people are looking around wondering if there are roms, hacks, etc. well the people over at www.thriveforums.org have all of the latest intel on all of that. Customs roms, hacks, apps and anything about the thrive in general. we need to convince them to move their efforts to XDA. that way, everyone will have all of the same information all at once.
[Thrive General] klbjr:
Be careful about posting links to other sites that require registration. Even if there is no info on this site to be had. Only say because I got a very stern warning when I tried to help someone out by directing them elsewhere.
[Thrive General] dalepl:
Same here. I also got a warning. I only come here to help people with answers, but I do all my development at ThrivesForum.org. No links here, just the site name. So far, I have not gotten amonished for that.
[Thrive General] Zesty01:
oh, i actually didnt know that. just trying to help out my fellow XDA guys. Paul i would really like to help out with whatever needs helping with. Beta testing, fixes, ideas, brainstorming, PM me if you are interested and ill give you a little bit of my background.
[Thrive General] Peahnuts:
Back in late September I felt bad for buying a tablet that had little development, but then I realised that it was all done on thrive forums lol. It's actually really nice having a dedicated website with people like Dalepl. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elhippo:
Does anyone else's sgs2 have a noticeable gap between the touchscreen glass and the aluminum bezel? Mine has a very noticeable one on the entire left side and bottom. The top and right sides are flush with the bezel. It looks like the glass wasn't cut to spec.

I want to get an idea of how widespread this is. Best buy didn't want to exchange it, and I could probably live with it if I can find a way to keep the dust out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
this is the first of this problem that I've heard. My bezel is flush against the glass. Pesonally, I wouldn't live with it. I would try to exchange it. Even if that means calling AT&T directly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Mine is flush... If you have a moment, please stop in at any AT&T store and see the unit(s) on the display rack mine and my two colleagues here at work have their unit's GLASS flush with Bezel... No visible nor noticable gap...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 026TB4U:
Mine isn't uniform all the way around. The gap at the top of my phone increases going from left to right, looking at the phone.

It's a small difference, but I do see it capturing dust in the short time I've had it, about 3 weeks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elhippo:
Thanks for the quick replies. I'm a little hesitant on exchanging because there is always the risk of getting a phone with even more defects.

But at least now I know it's not normal so I don't feel bad when trying to persuade Best buy to let me exchange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NascarFastcar:
Mine seems flush. If it isnt that much of a hassle would you post a picture of the gap? Im really interested to see it lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Same here on my end.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elhippo:
Attached are pictures of my bezel-to-glass gap. As you can see, it's collecting a lot of dust in the 3 weeks I've had it. And this is with a case too.

I'm about to head out to Best Buy. Wish me luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Good luck!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elhippo:
No luck. They wouldn't let me exchange because it was functionally okay. Oh well, at least I tried.

At this point I can live with it. The Atrix had many more build quality issues than this phone anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] avengeryarr:
Seeing as you're within your 30 day return policy, why don't you just return it then rebuy it? bit of a pain in the ass but might be worth it if it bothers you enough.

Sent from my ATT GS2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justabrake:
if it bothers him he just said it's collecting dust :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Check in the i9100 threads for this issue and see if they found HOW TO RETURN IT. I know I read the same issues in there a long time ago.

Sent From My KICKASS CM7 AT&T SGS2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
One of my many Infuses had this. It was horrific. The AT&T manager gave me hell and claimed he couldn't see it but I pressed and he eventually caved and exchanged it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justabrake:
Hell take it right to samsung, I would bring it right to them if no one else gives a replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
There are several issues. The one most people notice is that by design there is a 1 mm gap between the screen and the bezel. This was designed this way as with many phones because the screen expands and contracts in the heat, so there has to be a little play for it to move. It's normal. Some phones it's more noticeable, and the material they use seems to collect dust a bit more than other phones. I have 2 SGSII ATT versions and 1 SGSII International and all 3 seem to be dust magnets above the earpiece and on the left and right sides in the 1mm gap.

This is completely normal though. If you want a phone without a bezel, get an iPhone, hehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Sorry to hear that mate
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgotti107:
Mines is exact same way...I've noticed the dust build up and I tried to deal with it thinking it was a flaw on all the devices...now u got me peekin out of it every few mins
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MakAttak:
Don't use that as an excuse.. If they wont take it back Samsung will.. Just call the Samsung 800 number and get a RMA - explain there is a problem in the case integrity, If they say NO, then you have a free shot when it does screw up for any reason. Just make themPUT IT IN WRITING in an email and explain why they are denying the RMA. Once in writing, you have them by the ... if anything does happen to the display at all..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Hehe so aggressive... its such a small issue and they all have the issue, some people just exaggerate the seriousness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
Some devices are a lot worse than others though and do actually have an issue. The Infuse I returned had a much larger gap on the bottom than other Infuses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
based on that picture you posted, the gap doesnt looks that bad. I barely noticed it and thats a close up shot. I'm not saying you should live with it but if you leave a case on it (like you probably were going to, anyway) not much dust will get in it anyway and you wont see it because its covered by the case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shanker702:
I have an Epic Touch 4G, and I rooted it and then flashed the Midnight Rom as I had a lot of luck with it on my old Epic 4g, but now I cannot get visual voicemail to work at all. How can I get back to stock everything, rom and kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Flash this in Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
Go to development there's thread by acs that guides you to going back to stock using Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] knifeproz:
Hey guys so Im sorry if this is a known problem or something, but my girlfriend let me hold on to her phone during the school day. I do it everyday and nothings wrong. Today when she asked for the phone back, it was turned off, it would not turn on. I hold the power button and nothing comes on, made sure the battery is plugged in etc but its just powered down the whole time.

Is it bricked? or is the battery just dead? She won't be back home for a few hours so she has no way to charge it to see if it's just dead. Anyone? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
It's probably just dead. A device doesn't just brick out of no where.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] knifeproz:
I don't own this phone, I own an HD2 so I'm kinda clueless...if the phone dies does it even turn on for a few seconds and then dies, or not at all?

My phone turns on even when on 0 percent, gets to the lock screen then dies, that's why I'm wondering if it's a brick...but the phone may just be different.

EDIT: PHONES WORKING (: was just dead.

Can't wait till it gets ported over to our epic touch, especially since the nexus is most likely a Verizon exclusive for now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks for the review.

Is that really considered good battery life for that phone? I would hate to see it on a bad day.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
I said it was good battery life because of what I was using it for.. I literally did all the worst battery draining stuff... I used data like crazy on 3g, was downloading, playing games, listening to music.... Usually the Nexus gets 16 hours with moderate to heavy use. That was just really heavy use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I guess it just shows how good the SGS2 is on battery. Right now I have been unplugged for 8 hours with 4G on the whole time, downloaded games, played games, searched the web, texts, calls, and have 1 hour and 30 minutes of on screen time and I am at 47% battery left. This has got to be the best Android device I have used so far when it comes to battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tonydib:
I get notifications that there are updates for some of my apps. When I go to look I don't see anything that says which apps they are. I've disabled Automatic Updates for everything that will let me so I can decide if I want to update, so maybe these notifications are for the ones still left on AU.

But even then, how can I tell which apps received updates? The dates never seem to correspond to the notification date.

BTW...not rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: UPDATES

Any apps whether you manually updated or downladed them or

if the auto update updated them would show up on your pull down

notification screen.................
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tonydib:
When the notification comes in, I pull down the screen and it will say something like 2 apps updated. If I tap the notification, it takes me directly to my apps but nothing in there indicates which 2 were updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: updates

I don't know which custom rom you are using but when I manually do

any updates or if google auto updates any apps it shows the application

names and tells me if the update was successfully installed.

The only time the notification does not tell me app names is when

it only notifies me that there are updates to be downloaded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroIsntTheHero:
If the applications have already updated it won't show you because the are already up to date. It only shows you if the application needs to be updated.

Like he said though, if it already updated, then it should show you what was updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I also have automatic updates turned off and when I see a notification that any updates are available, I simply go into the Market, click Menu and select 'My Apps' and will see what updates are available at the top of the list.

You should see this as well if updates are indeed set to be manually installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fooldog01:
I'm experiencing the same behavior. Says updates are available. Go to my apps in the Market... no updates available. I'm pretty sure this is a bug. Not to worried about it though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: Market

Try this,

Go to settings>applications>manage applications then click

the "ALL" tab and click on "market" and click on "Clear Data".

Then reboot the phone and see if the issue is gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tonydib:
To answer your earlier question, I'm not rooted.

But your clear data/reboot suggestion worked perfectly! There are 5 apps waiting for updates to be applied.

Thanks!

Could you remind me when SPB Shell 3D is therr for free??? Lol thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
If you are serious about getting SPB the cheapest place I have found to get it is off Handster. If you pay using your mobile (it just puts the charge on your phone bill) it is only $9.99. Unfortunately you won't get alerted to updates but it is pretty easy to go and get the newest version when it comes out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
damn i missed the office pro!!! today is ghost radar...blah
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Just curious. If you pull the apk from your phone, can you install it on another one? Or does it check the day it was installed to verify you got it for free? I am just wondering what would happen if you wiped your phone and then tried to reinstall it??
[Motorola Photon 4G] onree:
The app gets associated to your account and then will be available from your Amazon Appstore account all the time.

It was uber gay, it wouldn't let me download it. Kept giving me an error. I have 174 free apps and probably have 4 of them installed. There is an appstore reminder app that reminds me every morning @ 730 to download the app of the day. I love it.

I don't think you can unless you mod the APK because it is associated with that 1 account

Yes, I have the same problem, when using an Exchange server and downloading email to a PC client using POP. New emails are downloaded OK to phone but when they are deleted via POP from the Exchange server this is not reflected on the phone.

Hello.

As the title says, I want a android rom that is stable, fast and holds the battery pretty good =) I work 8 hours every day, and most of them is filled with spotify, so battery is needed. :) Tested different roms for a while now, but non have been what i wanted :(

Anyone who knows any good roms i can test? =)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Almost all non GB-Sense ROMs are 100% functional and good for daily use. GB Sense ROMs are also supposedly good for daily use but I personally find them quite glitchy and slow (try them anyway, you may be able to tolerate this). I use Typhoon CM7 as it's fast, efficient, and regularly updated with the latest features.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] k3nmill3r:
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.7.3[2.3.7][A2SD][tytung r12.4v3]

I have been using these for my daily since around 2.4.something and love it, quick updates, fast as anything performance with pretty decent battery. I have everything turned on and am on one WiFi connection or another pretty much all day. Use it moderately for browsing, texting, phone, and gps and it lasts pretty much all day for me. Give it a shot, I bet you will be happy.

Oh yeah, I am sure you would be able to tell from the thread but there is no Sense or anything, pretty standard CM7 interface with ADWLauncher
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr_Grip:
I've tried many different ROMs over the last few weeks and finally arrived with TyphooN as well.

What I found more important is that from my experience, tytung's 12.3 (and newer) kernels are the only ones that have no or close to no audio quality issues, so I'd definitely opt for a ROM with tytung's kernel.

I have used TyphooN_CM7 and Desire HD Ace, these two roms on my hd2.

one is original android and one is with sense...

I think you can try these two roms,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Droski:
Any flavor of Hyperdroid is tight. My best recommendation is try a few different roms out and seeing if you like one. If using it intensively is a big issue for you I would suggest that you don't install system heavy apps, i.e. Live wallpapers, crazy widgets that use system resources like weather or GPS. Keeping GPS and WIFI off until you need to access those services and changing the display brightness down a tad. There are plenty of threads on these issues and keep in mind that Android itself is a huge battery abuser, but it's so worth it. I use the above mentioned apps and still get a full day out of my phone as long as I don't spend hours at a time accessing them. Keeping a charger on hand at work also helps as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EpicEric:
The day the gs2 was released I called every AT&T store in the area looking for "regular" screen protectors. They kept trying to up sell me on the re-usable anti-glare screen protectors that cost $15-$20 more. Five stores later I tried to order them. It wasn’t until then that I was told that AT&T wasn't stocking regular screen protectors, only the anti-glare ones. Went to the mall and found some at a cell phone kiosk for $10.

Screw you AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lopman:
In my country they cost around 20$

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GTTG_Atomik:
All AT&T stores sell Moshi Screen Protectors. They are actually really good, durable, anti glare and anti fingerprint screen protectors. Not like the regular screen protectors that come in a pack of 3. Those peel at the edge, and after they do, you have to take them off an apply a new one on them. They scratch real easily and are very thin. The Moshi you are referring to are far from the cheap screen protectors. Not only are they 2-3 times as thick, but are 100 times a lot easier to install. They also won't peel up on you. You get what you pay for. I'm very satisfied with my Moshi Screen Protectors. A month in, no scratches, no bubbles, no peeling. Overall, a very high quality product worth every penny. Highly recommended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
The cheap eBay ones will most likely scratch easier than the $10-$20 range screen protectors, meaning you will have to replace the screen protector often if you want it to look clean/clear.

Best Skins Ever

Just thought I would share my experiences.. I am new to the Android community, as this is my first phone after having several iPhone models.. So far so good, loving it! Anyways, I have always used the skins from bestskinsever.com and they have always done what they need to do.. Easy to apply (as long as you don't get any air bubbles), and protect the phone very well.. I was following the site and just today noticed they finally have up skins for the AT&T model, and they are always perfectly cut to fit precisely! So thought I'd share, as it isn't a pricey option at all.. Cheers!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtracrispy:
Hey has anyone ever contemplated the impact of how much white we have on our homescreens vs. battery live?

People are undervolting their CPUs by ~50mv to save power, but that's really only ~5% difference.

Looking at my logs, display accounts for over 70% of drain. So if we light up less pixels with a mega-black screen, shouldn't that account for more savings than any undervolting can?
