[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sportsinger75:
Honestly, I'd really love to root and what not, but I really effed up my Continuum on Verizon using ODIN so I'm real scared to use it again. I wish you could just use Gingerbreak or something easy like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
I rooted to remove bloat and to install TB, adblocker, terminal and cwm. I'm still on stock and don't see a need to flash roms now cuz everything working great. I'm holding out for ICS which you will need root for if you want it early.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sportsinger75:
That seems like a good idea. I honestly can't complain with stock right now and would like to wait until something besides an ODIN root comes out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mastajest:
Seemed pretty easy and straightforward to me. Much easier than rooting my G2. Had a little hiccup trying to put it in d/l mode since this was my first time using odin, but figured it out fast enough. Just turn off your phone, plug in your usb, and then turn it on while holding vol up and vol down at the same time. Should go into d/l mode instead of recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joselarajan87:
after rooting it you can delete the thethering manager app.apk from the sytem/app so you can use your built in wifi thether for free yo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
I would do it for the ability to fully use titanium backup and to have full access to your phone.

I did it for those reasons alone. Im not a rom jumper and I stick to stock and unless a rom way different than stock comes, I'll stick to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ryan562:
Of all the T-Mobile phones I've used this seems to have the most bloatware....rooting definitely helps getting rid of all of it. Dev support also seems to be growing. I have the latest EaglesBlood Rom and could not be happier. now getting better battery life and overall greater speed and smoothness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] le14:
I have a Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S2 and a mac so as of now I can't really root the phone because its windows only for the root. I'm waiting for a mac abled one click root.

Other then that, this is my first Android (came from the iPhone 4) and wanted to know how do you guys decide which rom to use? Also, how hard is it to flash to different roms? I can do it after I root correct and if I do change rom's I would not have to reroot would I?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
once rooted it's fairly simple with CWR manager

the alternative to Odin is to use Heimdall, which is cross platform compatible
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] le14:
would there be a tutorial for rooting with a mac using heimdall? this would be my first time rooting an android and I don't want to brick anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bighulk666:
I personally only root to get rid off the bloat and custom battery mods. Stock ROM, for me, is fine. Maybe

if there will be a stock UV kernel, I'd flash it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] azsl1326:
I just got a replacement GSII and after a call I was prompted to order NameID, some sort of caller ID. WTF is that??? It's crap like this that I root so that I can disable this intrusive bloatware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdlorinser:
LOL that's funny! The same damn thing happened to me yesterday. Its just caller id. I told them Hell No!

[HTC EVO 3D] Painkiller006:
So i notice i had an update, i figured it was the Adfree app since its constantly being upated so i go ahead and click it. Next thing i know, the screen goes black and says downloading and installing system update. (it didn't look like any of the HTC updates which promps you to choose between wifi) At this point i was like wth is being updated since it gave no log or any details about what the update does, i try to pull the battery but the update finishes before i could remove it. Now i have no idea what just got updated :( Has anyone gotten an update like that? If so, any ideas what it does?
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
How would anyone here know unless they were looking over your shoulder :)? Just go to settings-about phone-software info. If it says 2.08.621.3, it was the HTC Sprint update. I don't know if the GSM update has a different version, but you can probably find out what the update for that is as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
I had that too, i had quickly clicked cancel though, dunno what's up

I'm running 2.08.651.2
[HTC EVO 3D] idub81:
I just received the same update but no clue on what was updated
[HTC EVO 3D] Painkiller006:
I have 2.08.621.3. It didn't look like any previous update since no change log or any details about what was being update was shown. It was just a black screen and nothing else, didn't give me an option to cancel either.
[HTC EVO 3D] Painkiller006:
Weird, i wonder what it was:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] davec1234:
I caught it and hit cancel.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Same here, I took my phone out of my pocket & the deed was done..... Automatically.

WTH was it? ?(
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Wired. I'm on .3 here and just did a manual check and got nothing. Not typical for updates to push out to start this late though either.

Checked HTC hub too and nothing.
[HTC EVO 3D] davec1234:
I found the auto update box checked for htc. I unchecked it, curious if it happens again.
[HTC EVO 3D] superrio2:
I got the update too but I cancelled it before it installed
[HTC EVO 3D] shiftr182:
I just did a nand restore of a rom based off Zone's that is using bcblends kernel. I let the phone sit for about five minutes after it booted, then checked it and it said "service update complete" in a bubble over my homescreen. My build is still 2.08.651.2.
[HTC EVO 3D] idub81:
Yeah everything seems the same at the moment and like others have said it wasn't a typical update it never asked if I wanted to update or not the screen went black and a box appeared and said system update then 3 minutes later said update complete and nothing else after that no change log or anything
[HTC EVO 3D] pantherdaddy:
Yea I dis the same thing. It is the watch app it scared the u know what out of me

From my tricked out 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Got me too....
[HTC EVO 3D] jagox5:
Yep automatically updated me!! Wtf? What's going on?
[HTC EVO 3D] awakener777:
Very strange. No information released they just push these updates?? Luckily I caught it and canceled immediately. Please don't come back!
[HTC EVO 3D] AdRock02gt:
Same thing with me. My phone was sitting on the counter after I got off a call. 2 hours later I pick it up and it says update complete. I'm on ViperRom and haven't noticed anything wacky going on so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] awakener777:
Dying to know what this is about. The only reason I knew is my sister texted me telling me her phone updated (same phone). I told her that was weird and she shouldn't have accepted. Then a moment later mine tried to and I canceled. Ugh. I hate not having explanations.
[HTC EVO 3D] ranger61878:
Add one to the auto update. Running Warm, auto update unchecked as always, was on a call with screen off and when I hung up had the popup saying update will now be applied. Still have root so no worries.

Go to sprints Web site they have ask the info on it. It was actually released a couple days ago. I hate sprint I'm so done with them. Their updates such my phone has been on the fritz sense the hboot1.5 update, I regret not rooting when I had the chance.

How do o turn of auto update? I've never had this issue before
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Luckily for me, I turned off the ability to receive OTA updates, since we ARE on custom ROMs......astonishing that so many ROMs have this still enabled.
[HTC EVO 3D] awakener777:
It was pushed. I have auto update unchecked a will. It'll still happen. I called sprint and they said HTC was pushing it for security...and then I bashed turn for ridding premier customer perks.
[HTC EVO 3D] smoley:
Anyone wanna be a guinea pig and see if a new prl pushed
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
I checked PRL and it said "PRL update complete. Click ok to continue." Clicked ok and nothing else happened. I'm on eternity ROM if that makes any difference.

[HTC EVO 3D] :
Updating your prl is always fine... It's not going to mess anything up as far as root or ROM goes...signal possibly, but not root. Update your prl at will. That said, there was not a prl update.

This update that pushed also does not break anything. So everyone can stop worrying. As long as updates are not firmware related, you should be fine, and this one was not firmware. ;)

-- Sent from my 3D Shooter --
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
its not an OTA software update its a actual service update. people running different roms gotten the messege to. nothing to be scared about as there was no DL box like with a reg OTA software upgrade. this was pure service related.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Didn't effect my speeds at all. Peak hour 3G still looks bleh.

My 4G is normal.
[HTC EVO 3D] jerofld:
Heh, I had updater.apk locked down and never got the update. I wonder if I should let it up for air just to get the security update, as it appears to be fine.

Or is there a link to the zip somewhere?
[HTC EVO 3D] willfck4beer:
Wow - cool! How did you lock down updater.apk? I'm on Myn Warm Nightly... and it hit me as well. I gather it's not an OTA, but still, I don't like their hand in my pocket.

Unilateral updates with no veto power on my part piss me off! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dannytill:
This is NOT a security update. It is a service update that affects how your phone communicates with the network. It is not dangerous and will be applied automatically. I've noticed increased 3G speeds but that my not happen for everyone.
[HTC EVO 3D] kc_exactly:
Where is everyone who got this update? I am in Kansas City. And I have looked online and it doesn't appear any other make of phone got this.
[HTC EVO 3D] bronxknight28:
As many people stated, its not a update firmware wise, it was just a service update. As in, it only dealt with your service (Voice,Data,Text). it wont destroy your phone, i can bet it wont harm you in a negative way. <joke> Unless it was a hacker that hacked into Sprint and pushed malware in a service update :eek:</joke>
[HTC EVO 3D] jerofld:
I have DroidWall installed (can be found on the market). It's a firewall. You can allow or disable apps from accessing the internet. The app defaults to everything as off, so it's a pita to set up initially (make sure you enable logging so you know why your favorite apps don't work). If Updater.apk can't access the net, it can't check for new software.

LBE Privacy guard does a similar function, but it defaults everything to on (but can block IMEI, GPS, etc requests). It's also in the market. LBE is more feature laden, but I like how DroidWall defaults all apps to off.

I use both, DW locks down the 'net to only the things I want, and LBE keeps Facebook from trying to access my contact list 4 times a day.

Yep. Update was automatically applied on my phone. Didn't hit the ok button after the pop up came on (I hit the home button and ended all tasks) but it looks like it applies anyway. Speedtest show drastically improved 3g speed for me... From around 0.4Mbps to 1.3-1. 9Mbps. Hope this is permanent.
[HTC EVO 3D] kc_exactly:
Ok, just talked to sprint

The only network thing the tech saw was a 3G fix to the system last night that went into effect at 11:10. He said this was in KANSAS CITY. So, I not sure if this was a nationwide thing. But, there was some network upgrading and repair. It is confirmed.

In other news, Sprint if upgrading the T1 lines on their towers. I know this because I am a firefighter. The band that Sprint and Nextel had were mixed in the Public Safety band. Sprint and Nextel moved there bands to allow less interference. Now, they are on each side of the spectrum with Public Safety in the middle.

They will be updating T1 lines that will make there towers 4x as powerful too. This is a separate issue but since our command vehicles and some of our phone system is on the Sprint Network the higher ups in Public Safety learn some neat stuff. So, over the next few months the whole country will be getting faster towers.

It was explained like this. The straw is to thin to suck enough juice through. So, they are giving us all wider straws.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] y0sup:
I saw earlier that people were saying that rooting the epic touch 4g may NOT be the cause of LoS. But I'm here to tell you that I only got the LoS after I rooted. All I did was root and install honeycomb battery + crt animation. The LoS was getting ridiculous, so I went back to the stock kernel and I'm LoS free. Just letting you guys know, this IS a root issue and it should be stated clearly for those who are considering rooting. I think it will just cuase a lot of grief for users if they are not properly warned, so please do so guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
its not confirmed unless you have thousands of independent tests
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ralexand:
Just a warning, you're about to get flamed for posting this in the development section. With that said, I too never received an LoS until the day after rooting the phone (had it for two weeks with no issues). Installing the LoS kernel has helped a ton, though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
i can also confirm that rooting caused my phone to experience an endless onslaught of LoS occurances. I had the phone for a month without any LoS issues, only ****ty battery life (losing 6-8%/hr idling over night). The day I rooted the phone, i experienced LoS three times. Installing the lostkernel helped and I only got one in three days, but I ended up switching to the EVO 3D since I coudl not stand the battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LudoGris:
I have never once had LoS, on either stock put root. I am one of the lucky ones. However in have read there are people out there that have LoS without routing, so I am not sure your confirmation is 100%.

Sent from the EPIC Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andygallo:
Unless you can explain why my COMPLETELY STOCK phone got struck with the LOS bug, then no, rooting is not the cause. It may TRIGGER the LOS bug, but it is NOT THE CAUSE.

Please try to do a data profile clear/update, that's what fixed my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wawa144st:
sorry before hand but whats los? loss of service??????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I experienced LoS before and after root. Now I know what it means when I read "your milage may vary ".

Now to another issue, just because your phone is showing reception or 1 bar doesn't mean you haven't LoS... lol, only way to find out is by placing a call...

Samsung is very good with destroying its reputation... Before it was their lazy late updates, now defective devices... I was 100% set to get Galaxy Nexus, then I heard Samsung... Hmmm makes me think three times and looking to alternatives, definitely will wait atleast few weeks before getting Nexus.

I would compare samsung to a sexy sl*t lol

[HTC Sensation] PensFan66:
I have my sensation in my car with a modified dock and its working great but I have a Pioneer LCD in my car and would love to output my sensation to the screen - So, my question - Is there a dock that will give me power and HDMI at the same time?

If I connect the MHL connector to the back of the dock, I get power but it will not output HDMI - it may be as easy as modifying the connector - but I dont have the information needed to know what needs to be done...

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] willumpie82:
The connector from the car dock is probably not fully wired (eg not all 5pins connected)

Inside the cardock there is a resitor connected to the phone's ID-pin, this pin should be wired to the usb output instead of the resistor.

Even if you manage to mod the cardock to connect the ID-pin, i don't think the wires inside the dock will let you output the HDMI without problems.

HDMI uses 4pairs of LVDS serial lines to stream video, MHL does that with only one pair (usb +/-) so the datarate must be very high (4x HDMI) to support the 720P resolution. bad cables and bad sheilding will decrease the maximum datarate, and therefor a smooth picture
[EVO 4G General] shaun0207:
What is Sense 1.0 and why are alot of the roms running it? is this a older version of sense?
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
This is the original release of Sense ported to the Evo. People just like minimalistic and simple things I guess.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well its sense 1.0 the first, the original. A lot of roms run it because they were done on froyo which had sense 1.0. A lot of the newer roms are running 2.1 +, with 3.5 being the newest
[EVO 4G General] shaun0207:
I Like all the added extras since Sense 1.0. So I will tick with 2.0 and above roms. Wish alot of the devs would put which version of Sense they are using in the changelogs.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
They always put that in the OP.

Anyway, sense 2.1 and above make very eye catching ROMS, but kill battery battery life.
[EVO 4G General] shaun0207:
There were a couple I was looking at in the evo forum the other day and everyone kept asking were they Sense 1.0 roms. I think the OP may have Forgotten. I see it on alot of roms in the 3D forum.
[EVO 4G General] King_Louie:
Try tommytomatoe's Evo Classic rom... it runs on sense 1.0. It's very quick, smooth, terrific battery life, and loads of room for apps.

I used sense 2.1, 3.0, and 3.5 but those killed the battery and made my evo run a tad sluggish.

I have a problem with the Notification LED in Xperia Neo, i don't know if it by the Custom Kernel or MIUI ROM, but i wanna change the brightness, i show you a image, maybe you can Help Me...

Top image. Charging with my phone turned on

Bottom. Charging with my phone turned off

On stock i don't have this problem too, i guess this is a bug in kernel (because i use Blend MIUI)
