[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Cool glad you spotted it.

You don't need the stock kernel really. Once you're rooted with a cfroot kernel you're good to go.

If you want to send in for repair, flash back to original firmware, root will be gone, then grab a USB jig to reset the flash counter.

Jig will also get rid of the yellow triangle if it annoys you

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oja1:
I'm now on version 2.3.5, pda xw-kj2, phone xx-ki4, csc xef-kj1 and all looks good - except when I have a weak GPS signal (eg. inside) Google Maps shows me as being in China! Walk outside (good GPS signal) and it swings back to by actual location (Adelaide, Australia).

It wasn't doing this with the original firmware. Maybe the 2.3.5 firmware from XDA (pda XWKJ2, phone XXKI4, XEF/France) that I flashed has a Chinese GPS.conf file? If that's the issue then is there an additional file for an Odin flash to revert the GPS.conf?

You are not totally bricked.

Repeat the instruction for GTG Unbrick on a different PC. I had the same issue and simply re-ran GTG on my Laptop. The " Phone/PC " screen showed a progress bar as I did the unbrick.

I was wondering if someone could tell me where the menu choice is to assign a ringtone to my incoming gmail mails? I don't see it where I normally do. I have assigned custom ringtones to my text messages, Google Voice, RINGTONE, calendar events and email without a problem -- I just don't see the same setting choice in Gmail. I'm problably looking right at it and missing it, but... if someone could help, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
I don't think there is an option for a custom ringtone. Not in my version of Gmail anyways. I think it falls under the Notification Ringtone in the Sound settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jmares214:
You can change it by going into your Gmail then click on menu/more/settings/"youremail" then scroll down to " Labels to notify" choose "Inbox" you will see Ringtone - My Gmail then you can choose what ever ringtone you like.. Hope that helps

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wingmann:
Your directions were perfect, jmares! Thank you so much for the info. I knew it was there somewhere, but I guess I didn't click further into that particular box's setting. I now have a custom ringtone for gmail again. It was much easier to get to/change when I used gmail on my HD2! Anyway, I hope this helps others, too!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elvensbane:
I rooted my incredible 2, and now I don't know what to do with it. I swapped radios and removed all the useless Verizon bloatware. And now I don't know what to do :p, i have been enjoying the slightly longer battery life with the bloatware gone, but i'm sorta bored. can anyone suggest me stuff? Like cool root only apps / tricks & hacks & mods (not roms)? please and thank you <3.

Also in an unrelated question, is it possible to remove that stupid Verizon column from the app draw? like 100% removed, not hidden?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
What your talking about limits you a ton. Why not flash a custom rom and kernal. Your'll notice a difference right away. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you rooted/ S-OFF your phone. Kind of pointless then.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chattguy:
I'm inclined to agree this statement.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
I'd recommend titanium backup, and then any aosp roms to really unleash your potential.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] elvensbane:
^ i'll be sure to check that out ^^ and i don't want any roms, i enjoy my stock rom, i've always had ALOT of trouble with custom roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
If you are happy with the "stripped" stock ROM with bloatware gone after rooting, then don't mess around with custom ROM and unfamiliar steps that you are not comfortable with, or else you could (soft) brick it .... (if it ain't broke, don't fix it or change anything) and end up in the twilight zone, LOL.

Read & just follow some of the discussions, roms & mods, and read about other's (mis)steps. Generally speaking, learn & do proper Backup & Restore first from Recovery, and, the basics in Titanium Backup - it's the foundation for going beyond ....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ubuntunerd:
in case you haven't yet I suggest rom manager if you dont like going into recovery to make a current back up of your stock rom since you're rooted this will come in handy in case you do decide to try something new

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedmannn:
I used to run Synergy on my Evo, and I just switched over to Fresh. Is there any way to install the quick settings in the task bar on this ROM? That was one of my favorite parts of the old one, and I'd really love to have it again!

The thing I'm talking about is when you drag down the notifications menu, it shows two tabs on the bottom, "Notifications" and "Settings", and you just tapped settings and it brought you to a huge list of different toggles.

Thanks in advance everyone! I really appreciate all the help I can get :)

~Scott
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTTKDKing:
The other Rom you were using (Synergy) is based on Sense 2.1 and 3.x. Fresh is based on the Evo stock rom which uses Sense 1.x. There are some apps that will replicate this functionality, but you wont get the notification toggles in anything with Sense 1.x stock.

I believe you can use something like Widgetsoid (from the market) and create a notification toggle with that, but I've never done it myself. Search for notification toggles in the market though. I'm sure you can find something.

[General Questions and Answers] ejatds:
i've recently noticed this annoying bug when creating a new application shortcut and wasm wondering if anyone else experienced this issue as well...

whenever i create a new application shortcut on the homescreen (by dragging and dropping), the icon simply disappears when i let go of my finger... this happens 100% of the time. when i restarted my phone, all the new shortcuts i created that seemingly disappeared ended up in a folder that i made to store all my games. (ie: i tried to put a youtube shortcut on a homescreen 5x, and when i restarted, all 5 shortcuts ended up in my games folder on a completely different screen.)

when i tried to take them out of the folder, i'd still get the same issue.

i tried deleting the folder and then restarting the phone, and my issues seem to be solved. my games don't all fit on one screen though so it kind of sucks not having that folder.

is there something wrong with my phone or does everyone experience this bug?

its a nexus s i9020A running the latest 2.3.6.

$649 for the 16GB off contract. Ouch. It's $399 (after rebate) with a two-year contract with 2GB of data at $39.99. It appears only to come in white. VZW's 16GB is $529 on contract but it's LTE and 2GB of data in $10 less. The $399 seems aggressive but you'll end up paying $960 for data over two years. Getting a UK 3G and using it on AT&T still works out much cheaper.

do you have an ODIN ROM that you would recommend? CWM seems to work fine but I need the T-Mobile stock Kernel back. So if someone with a t-mobile 10.1 tab could install CWM... make a nandroid backup... and send it to me... that would help me out a LOT.

[Milestone 2 General] skygunner:
Hi,

Boot looping problem with my m2.

Was flashed

20111012-0056-Nightly-v1.0

(previously was on MIUI 1.10.8, before that was the MS2Ginger rc).

With that version of CM7, the phone will drop call while the battery low dialog pops up sometime. Maybe the cpu vel is too low.

Also when last time this happened, the phone shutdown itself and now it's boot looping.

Some time it can boot over the bootmenu (can see the blue/green led), but after that stuck at the boot logo or boot into black screen.

few time it can boot into Android.

Most of the time it can't even boot over bootmenu, just stuck at the boot logo.

Reflashed and wiped everything and it doesn't help.

Reflashed MIUI on to it and same problem.

Tried to get the logcat running but it only says waiting for device,

though I plugged the phone but got nothing on the command line.

//===update

using RSD Lite to flash the phone will fail because

"error getting subscriber unit"

or "error erasing subscriber unit"

Any suggestion?

Regards,
[Milestone 2 General] c0nvict:
Have you tried flashing the stock .sbf via RSD Lite?
[Milestone 2 General] skygunner:

[General Questions and Answers] Clambake12:
alright I am completely overwhelmed after reading the modem thread. I am running Serendipity 7 on my captivate. Kernel version 4.1 and running the stock modem that this rom comes with (JV6 i believe). I am on WCDMA 1900 Band 2. I can flash roms and what have you, but when it comes to all this modem talk I am a noob.

My question to you guys is, how do i know if i should update my modem. I seem to be getting signal strengths between -80 and -90. I did a speed test and results are 2.55mbps up/1.65mbps down. Numbers seems good. GPS has never worked for me no matter what rom i am running. Since location seems to be a big thing in modem selection, I am located on the east coast in PA.

I love this rom and want to maximize my phones capabilities, only reason i am looking into this modem thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fbueller:
So my T-Mobile account uses T-Zones for data, and it's only $5.99 a month unlimited on the grandfathered plan. I had an iPhone 4 unlocked to Tmo, and it worked great. I just bought a T-Mo Galaxy SII, and using the SIM in that phone gets me no data. Voice works great, but no data at all. When putting a different active SIM in the SII it gets data fine. And I'm using a brand new 4G SIM so I know that's not the issue.

The question is - how can I continue on my current plan and use the SII with T-zones for my data? Will a custom ROM work? Do they use EIN to determine if you need the Android data plan? I'm rooted but on stock right now. I really really want to keep my current data plan because it's unlimited and cheapo.

Anyone know the answer to this one? Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

I had the same plan as you on my Nokia N82 and after upgrading to Samsung Vibrant, I found out there is no way to use tzones with android phones except Nexus one. Now I pay for the android data plan, hopefully you have better luck.

I've tried all the APNs out there for Tmo and none work. I'll call retentions tomorrow (I'm out of contract so they should take good care of me) and let you know what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
T-Zones is a grandfathered plan and it only works with phones that uses 2G, which are only the basic phones. The SGS2 requires the Android data plan/Smartphone data plan which if you call retention, they should offer you for 20$.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fbueller:
Yeah, but that'd be 2GB before throttle, correct? And 5GB for $30? Sucky. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DyingBlade:
Yeah, if you've been a long time customer with T-Mobile, they should be able to offer you the 5GB 20$ plan.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I got. 5GB plan for $20 and $10 off each month for two years. It's basically $2 more a month than I was paying before, I can live with that. 2 year contract required.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anduios:
on a side note, tzone won't work with phones that have tmobile logo on them because tmo scan the

The only Android phone I ever go to work on $5 and $10 unlimited internet was my HD2 which wasn't technically an Android phone :P. Was pretty pissed when I had to switch to the EM+ $20 5GB plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] glenelgstudio:
Any phone thats not branded tmobile will work. I would never get rid of that plan. If you get the galaxy s2 from telus it will work fine. For some reason the htc tmobile mytouch slide will work also just popped my sim in one and it's been working for over a month and other android phones on tmobile stop working right away. Data is data that android plan stuff from tmobile is a scam if they dont have your imei listed in there logs the phone will work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goonx:
Yep.... It's IMEI locked and not according to some fallacies that some people threw out there (only works with 2g/3g, older phones). It WILL work with new smartphones just not ones purchased from T-mobile. The European Sensation works with T-zones. The Telus SGS2 will work with T-Zones. The upcoming Galaxy Nexus will work with T-zones (if bought elsewhere BUT t-mobile) Do your own research before listening to other people's advice.

Never get rid of that plan. It's truly 100% unlimited and unthrottled. If you got rid of it because of people here, i feel sorry for you man. If I were you, I would return the phone, get the T-zone option back and purchase the Telus SGS2. It's more expensive but worth it in the long run ($15 savings every month). Alternatively, just wait for the penta-band GSM HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus from ATT, Sprint and directly from google.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
The only set back with keeping the tzone plan and with the phones that would work on the plan are the download speed. With this phone, I can get 10mb easy, but with my N1, using tzone, the max I ever got was 3mb (average of around 1.6-2.0). If you get a unsubsidized phone for say $500, you'll need 2 years or so just to break even (assuming you get the tmobile version for $200. you can get it for way less now).

The only good thing about tzones are the real unlimited usuage, but not many ppl uses 5gb every month. I know cause I was using the N1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] goonx:
Not sure about the speeds.. but i don't know enough/read enough to see if they put you on a different speed profile. They talked a lot of T-zones on Howardforums and that's where i picked up the IMEI restriction. Probably a lot more info there if people want to check it out.

But the N1 vs. the GSG2 radios are way different. Perhaps it's just the phone. A fair comparison would be the telus vs. t-mo version. But i doubt anyone has both to compare.

Up to the OP, depends on his/her usage and what they're willing to pay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anduios:
from my understanding as far as speeds are concern, sg2 and htc amaze are the only fist ones that have 42mb data chipset build in. most other ones are either 14.4 or 21mb chip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zmanfarlee:
Yep. I got the telus sgs2x.... amazing. The highest I ever got was only 10mbps though. But that might change with tmobile getting free crap from AT&T :).
