I just switched to att $10 unlimited last night using my SIM in my HD2 and telling them my IMIE number (which att's system didnt recognize) I told them I was using a t-mo dumbphone becuase my focus broke (lie) and they switched me over no problem. I'm going to use my HD2 for a little bit then go back to my focus and see what happens

On a side note you can get a gophone from walmart for like $10 its a samsung a107 then toss your sim in that call them up with the IMIE num and they will move you over to a dumbphone plan as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lucasryan:
Yes the system reads the IMEI when connecting, but i think it will also work for gophones also. I dont know what the rates are for those plans but i dont think it will catch it unless the done a manual audit on it, witch they have no reason to do so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lucasryan:
All i did was just call in and tell them i was switching phones to my old LG-Vu and went to unlimited plan, i never even took out my sim from my focus, then they did test call to make sure all was working, i answered call from focus as again i never took my sim out lol and they didnt notice it so it ALL GOOD:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] lucasryan:
How about your bill? How much AT&T charges for unlim? $30/m as it was before?[/QUOTE]

Its 15 for the unlimited data, but i have the Media Max Unlimited plan for $35. The $15 plan mentioned is for the Media Net unlimited. That gives you unlimited data access only, but i need sms unlimited also cause there are alot of my friends that can only txt.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lucasryan:
Dail *3282# then send and see what it says on your txt mess that it sends ya?
[Windows Phone 7 General] adiliyo:
they have a $50 unlimited talk, text, & data for dumbphones, which is what i'm hoping will work on my focus without the need for a seperate data plan because of the imei mixup that is in their system... :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
It says my old data was deactivated and i have used xxmb of unlimited. Im still using my HD2 and haven't switched back to my focus yet.

EDIT: Why did your data plan switch back over?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lucasryan:
I called them and had it switched, told them i broke my focus and was going back to my LG-Vu and its not a smart phone so i got the unlimited data, but never even took my sim out of my focus, just gave the EMEI number and had it switched over. Everything seams to be fine and undetected!!

Put your sim in your focus and call the 3282 and i promise you it will tell you same thing. Its deactivated...
[Motorola Droid 3] Dad23Boys77:
So, I've been looking at installing some different ROM's on my rooted D3 and have seen reference to the following bootstrappers on different forum posts and websites.

I've seen:

"Droid 3 Safestrap" Bootstrap

Koush's Bootstrap

hashcodes modified bootstrap

My question(s) are:

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using one of the above over another?

I currently have the Droid 3 Bootstrapper installed on my phone, is there a anyway for me to determine if the bootstrapper that I have is anyone of the above?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Koush's bootstrap is the "normal" bootstrap. It has a bunch of red in the image and some.crazy looking android dude. The modded says [tweaked] on the lower portion of the screen but otherwise looks the same as the aforementioned . I've never used the safestrap as its more meant for flashing ROMs and my device has no ROMs but I believe it looks much different

I was thinking about getting a back-up battery soon and I always had 3 1900 mah batteries for my iphones with an extension cable to plug in

I'm not sure what kind of battery i'm going to buy because of case's and screen protectors, I'd like to go with just replacement battery but if I have to take the case off all the time and maybe disturb the screen protector that wouldn't be good so I was thinking about doing the same as with my iphones with a cable

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Goto monoprice. They have 2800 mah batteries. Works great.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
i prefer the 4200 mAh solar powered from Deal Extreme ;) (with optional wall/usb port re-charging in case you need it in a hurry)

it works everywhere

it's great when you work outdoors and no power outlets nearby
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
back ordered
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
I definitely want to buy from that site but that 4200 mAh Solar I think is a little over kill for me I'm never in the sun to have that work LOL I think just a good high capacity battery will do as long as it's flat

great site

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
If you can hold out it worth it for the price. Just need to find a good female/male micro usb cable. The only one i could find so far is motorola's one, but its too short. But it is better than having that battery directly plugged in.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alex0409:
why not try anker astro, looks far more well made, if you look at both picture carefully, you may figure it out the anker one have a higher capacity but with, smaller size. i don't trust those cheap, made in china batteries. i have one of anker astro, see my attachment. already used 2 weeks, very handy. i take it long with me all the day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sweerts:
What I don't understand is that until this day all the various sites told me tha the battery in the GN is 1750 mAh. But: http://www.google.com/nexus/#/tech-specs tells us that ther is a 1850 mAh battery in the GN.

Can I say cheers to the extra 100 mAh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
I thought I heard somewhere that the 1850 is the LTE version. Not sure why Google doesn't differentiate it like they do the other LTE-specific specs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sweerts:
Thanks! That would explain the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
I'd really like a large external battery with solar power. I bought one from eBay and it was terrible. Never charged my phone past 20%

Any suggestions? I dont care how much it costs, I just want the best, most powerful unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Monoprice has a 2800 mah battery for ~$15. Then find you a cable witg female micro usb and male micro usb on the other. Its not solar but a decent alternative.

I invented cyberspace. You're trespassing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dystropian:
true, the UMTS version does have the 1750one.. however would it still be possible to put the 1850 batt into the UMTS-GN..?!

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] psbear532:
Hello everybody! I have a lot of android apps on my pc and I want to transfer them to my nook, but I don't know if it is possible. If it is, which folder do I drop them off in? I tried to find where the other apps are installed in my nook that I directly download from the android market, but I can't find their location. Please help me out, I really need some of the apps I have and I can't even find them or can't download them directly. Thank you for your time! :)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ros87:
Use adb

adb install myapp.apk
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] psbear532:
Thanks for taking your time to help me I really appreciate it. I've run into a problem though. when I try to set up adb it wont find my device in the cmd prompt. I am following these instructions to set up adb: search in youtube "ANDROID SDK Tools (How-To Install)" first video. I get stuck at the part at 6:23 it just says "list of devices attached" and doesn't list anything. I don't know what am doing wrong :confused:.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
psbear532,

You can use a file explorer program (astro, es explorer, etc), and choose the apk on sd and install it. Just remember to use nookcolortools and de-select and re-select the non-market app box.

I guess it would be easier - I haven't had luck with adb so far...
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ros87:
Assuming you've successfully rooted your NST:

1: Enable wifi on your NST and make a note of the IP address assigned to it.

2: Tell adb to connect to that IP

adb connect 10.0.0.2

That's it, if adb was able to connect you can now adb push or adb install all you want :)

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

Why?, apart from having to download and install the Android SDK, using adb should be straightforward unless you're trying to get it to connect to the NST trough usb.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
Ros87,

Maybe that was my mistake. I've always tried using USB :S
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ros87:
Getting adb to work over USB on the NST is a pain in the a** :mad:

Some people have reported getting it to work with the Google drivers, but none of them worked for me in W7. Also I'm unable to try it in Ubuntu as I'm running that trough VMware Player and I cannot redirect the USB port properly.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] psbear532:
Thank you both so much:D! Ros87 I got it to work over wifi which I think is even better since now I don't even have to deal with the wire. apeine I didn't try your method since adb worked, but thanks for your time anyway.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] cceerrtt:
So why don't you install linux on a separate partition?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] brendan10211:
How does one do this without an SD card? I will be getting one soon, but for now, can I just create a temporary folder on the home directory and install it from there? Does it automatically install to the apps directory?

Thanks!

EDIT: I just figured out how much you can browse with the computer. So...
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Wiltuz:
The simplest method is to just copy the apps to an SD card, insert the card,browse to the .apk location,tap on the .apk file, you will be prompted with an screen asking if you want to proceed to install or just use the adb over wifi method as explained above
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] denhib:
I use and app names Airdroid. It allows you to install apps remotely from your computer via wifi.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] judasBenHur:
I have an "apk" folder in my UbuntuOne account, Dropbox should work too.

then i have the app for the service installed.

it works fine for me
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magpir:
I seem to notice that keeping the GPS off seems to drain the barttery faster in mango

Anyone here can replicate the problem?

I think some kind of process looping going on draining the battery because the phone maybe trying to access the gps
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snake.:
Again? No, I´ m not having the problem, you need to get a new battery after those expirements of yours.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayxGee1:
^^ he may be right. For me, turning off GPS improves battery life.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirk999:
where is the switch ON/OFF for GPS?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayxGee1:
GPS would be be the same as Location Services. Disable that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
I'm coming from a Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S I) that's currently on CM7 and has been on Froyo prior to that.

On both CM7 and Froyo, the Vibrant is FAR smoother in scrolling than the new T-Mobile Galaxy S2. I have no idea why. On the same settings using 3 launchers (Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, ADW), the Vibrant ALWAYS wins. And it's not even close.

The Galaxy SII appears to be microstuttering as it's scrolling. I tried all ROMS here. Literally spent 6 hours trying them all today and all of them have this issue. Is it the Samsung base ROM which has a big flaw? I can't imagine a dual core phone can't handle something that a single phone does easily.

Any comments on this? Am I doing something wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fatboy547:
u got a lemon. also had the vibrant. this phone is allot faster even on stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
Umm. I'm not saying it's not fast. It's a very fast phone with everything.

I'm saying scrolling just is very choppy.

PS: I benched a 3400 Quadrant and all other benchmarks "seem" normal for scores.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
did you enable the setting for smooth transition?

also let the launcher cache the icons first
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
im using Zeam launcher and i dont see the choppyness and i also had a vibrant running cm7. dbl check everything on ur phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eleeo037037:
I have this issue too. I notice it quick lags sometimes also.

I had a G2X before this .

Not sure what it might be but maybe once we get a kernel for the phone it might fix that issue

I'm using adw ex and I see zero lag in scrolling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billydroid:
Im also using adw ex and it is like butter
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
Well...it isn't lag per say. It scrolls just fine.

But it's not smooth. On my old Vibrant, it would be BUTTER smooth, like it was running at 100fps (in reality it was 60fps). Here I have the feeling it barely runs at 20-25fps.

What is interesting...NO matter how demanding of a live wallpaper or simple static picture wallpaper I use, smoothness doesn't improve or worsen. Hence, it's not that the phone can't cope with it. It's that it just refuses to render at a smooth 60fps.

Perhaps the smoothest I got was using a VERY demanding live wallpaper and Go Launcher. For some reason that made the phone go relatively OK in smoothness. I also used dsexton702's Universal Shot XIX which seemed to improve scrolling...still not up to par though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookitzjohnny:
im using Awd ex and i see some stutters when opening app drawer, im using the 4d setting but this phone should be able to handle it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
I've noticed the same. I suspect people who haven't aren't as sensitive to this sort of thing. Wonder if it is maybe a framerate cap thing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] will6316:
Same here I think it's the video CPU. Movies R also a bit choppy. I had the vibrant also sold it for this. Qualcomm always had BS gpu. The gpu needs To be optimized for the choppiness to go away. The gPU in the vibrant is probably better than gpu in the gs2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kennyp987:
Have to agree the hummingbird gpu was absolutely amazing and the exynos is even better ....my friends ATT sgs2 has that immediate reaction to touch and extreme smoothness that I missed from my vibrant......this phone is fast as hell no doubt but it's not as.......urgent lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
Actually no.

But I do suspect it may be something with the 2D acceleration. Quadrant is reporting HALF the 2D score of my Vibrant on this phone....350 usually. That's terrible. Usually low-end phones like the LG Optimus One get that score.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billydroid:
Like i said before, im using adw ex. Under (settings-ui-drawer) there is an option for "snap scroll". if you uncheck that box, it makes scrolling much smoother. i havent used go launcher, but both tw and launcher2 are smooth.

Edit: i just tried launcher pro and i agree its is choppy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] will6316:
Don't base anything on Quadrant. It's the iphone of benchmarks (most popular but not the best) Iran Quadrant 3 times straight and the score is inconsistent to say the least. The tmo gs2 is fast but not buttery smooth. TMo went with this processor for internet speeds. Trying to market the so called 42mbps speed. Who the hell needs that much speed on a mobile device anyway. unless youre tethering. The speed will bottleneck on the phone because of the high ping usually around 500-800ms. To get smoothness on this phone. We need to optimized roms for gpu if thats possible with the crappy GPU. Other than that. We will only get the fast not the butter. BTW i got scores of 900-1100 on Vibrant 2300-3300 on gs2. the gs2 was faster. But the vibrant did everything smootherand played h.264 movies smoother
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
Im very sensative to lag and the fact only time I see it is when I go home and that has been fixed with a custom rom.

Also im using touchwiz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
Which one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
I partially figured it out. Using adw solves the choppiness. Adw is optimized for dual core. That's the reason i think. Still don't get why a single core can't handle other launchers though.

Then again, Qudrant 2D benchmark is extremely low compared to other phones. There's something up that GPU which isn't working right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ap77:
Correct. It's non-optimized junk. Samsung just threw the SoC in there and called it a day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Adw ,Adw Ex, and Go launcher ex are the only launchers that were optimized since gingerbread had its recent updates. It isn't the gpu its the launchers majority of them weren't optimized. Launcher pro hasn't been update in ages. Honestly i stop using it since it was causing me problems on this phone and my single core. You could try some of the new launchers in the market. They should work relatively smoother as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 3r0k:
Give the v6 supercharger a try as well.

Really makes the phone snappy.

No lag on any launcher here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KLR Rico:
When you say scrolling, are you specifically talking about scrolling through text and menus and what not?

If that's the case, I've noticed that too.. Like here with tapatalk, or long lists like going through the contacts, it's fast and responsive, but it's not quite visually smooth... not slide-show stuttering, just barely enough to ruin the illusion of motion.

I sure hope there's a fix coming sometime down the line.

I can understand the 3d not being optimized, but this basic 2d stuff? On one hand, I wouldn't have wanted to wait any longer for my SGS2, but the feeling of "incompleteness" is a bit annoying...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zaventh:
I've noticed this too.. ADW doesn't help either. I have V6 and Adrenaline tweaks and running a 1.83ghz on OC kernel. Still when I scroll down the list of my apps in any launcher it "micro-stutters"... wtf.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheD_R_E:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
Someone should honestly look into the 2D acceleration. Samsung rushed this through and I fear it is just BROKEN. GPU should be doing 2D acceleration. It's not working right.

That's where the micro-stuttering on scrolling is coming from. Now if only a dev could figure it out, this phone would fly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] will6316:
When the att skyrocket comes out we should take notice to that phone. Since it has the same bull**** ass processor and gpu. If that phone runs smooth then Houston we got a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
A lot of debugging in the source code. The Telus drivers have less of that debugging in the newer drivers. We can probably use the At&t skyrocket drivers as well if we have enough in common with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knickfan5745:
I prefer the internet speed over a superior GPU. I like having fast internet for my laptop ANYWHERE. But maybe that's because I'm on the road a lot. I really have no use for a strong GPU. The T-mob SII runs my Game-Boy Advance emulator fine. GBA games are 100x better than stupid games like Angry Birds....

Also, the latency I get is 60 to 150 ms. Not sure why you're getting 500-800....

As ive seen it rich icons in custom themes usually let this choppyness come through. Scrolling in the stock Web browser is choppy at times. At the end of the day it really comes down to a combination of which rom/applications(memory they use either active or background)/image processing it has to do. As for my configurations Ive used malice/easy does it/ Darkside(all on darkside kernel) without issues. Recommended launchers: zeam/gingerbread launcher/nemus/ss launcher which ive not seen any issues atleast with the scrolling

Its the crap Qualcomm processors. Really hope s3 has the quad exynos. Just load digital warfare rom and launcher pro and I have zero launcher lag, but still have some here and there like in email app and some others. They used Qualcomm in order to reach full 42mb on modem but seriously does anyone even get that on hspa+, doubt it. Decision was for marketing.

Ill say I have seen the shutter on the launcher. But no more than I have seen on anyother device I used. It was really bad on the Nexus so I passed over it. My sister inlaw has an SGS 2 (not the Skyrocket) from att and its the same. Maybe its twiz?

I also came from a vibrant and I say this device stomps of all day long.
