[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iunlock:
v3.0 User Update

Update 11/19/11: Just added new Quadrant score 3060. (See attached)

Update 11/19/11: I guess the Battery Spy app will do for now as for having a percentage number.

Update 11/19/11: I'm trying to drain the battery but it's so darn good it barely budges! BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING!

Update 11/19/11: Excellent reception! I used to NEVER get reception inside of my elevator, but I just noticed that it stays connected from the 1st to the top floor! I would make people jealous the next time I'm on a phone call and talking all the way through while inside the elevator because everyone's phone gets disconnected all the time guaranteed. Well usually until now. HAHA! Next time I'm about to walk into an elevator packed with people, I'll make a call for giggles. If you don't believe me, I'll call one of y'alls LOL. I was also in an underground parking garage today where you'll never get reception, EVER, yet although it showed no bars the 4G icon was still there so I decided to send a text to check if it would go through and it did! Then when I went in the building where I do get reception, it connected instantly! Literally like a split second later it was connected at full bars...no other phones I've ever owned was that quick to connect. Pretty freakin' amazing.

Update 11/21/11: INSANE Battery Life. After a fresh batt stats wipe in recovery in the morning, I used the phone all day and kept brightness on full for most of the time, gps on, wifi on, games, browsing, text, phone calls etc...I stayed up until 2AM watching a movie waiting for the batt to drain completely, but the battery was still at 7-8% so while watching YouTube I feel a sleep and forgot to plug the charger in the phone. I woke up this morning and it was at 5%! I'm thinking WTH? Seriously? This is insane! I'm at 22hrs and it's still alive after heavy use from the day before. By far hands down the best rom and kernel I've ever experienced. Simply incredible.

v3.0 User UPDATE

Fast Boot Up

Butter Smooth like the previous versions

I'm trying to drain the battery but it's so darn good it barely budges! BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING!

Everything works great

No issues with Market App (purchased downloads)

I notice that when (off auto bright) you can still slide your finger across the top (left to right) to adjust the brightness.

Below are some benchmark test I did right after booting up.

This is also the first time I've ever seen RAM numbers this low at 178MB. (See below attachment).

Change suggestions:

The icon colors in Settings -> (instead of it being all green, is there a way to change it back to the colors? It has more character with the colors IMO.

It would be neat to have the reception bars being 5 bars or more than just 4 bars. I always thought it looked cooler.

Is there a way to put a percentage number inside the battery icon? I guess the Battery Spy app will do for now as for having a percentage number. Thx TricH for the suggestion of the app, Battery Spy.

Would you be able to add the gingerbread (keyboard from Android 2.3) by Steven Lin into your next updates? IMO it's the best keyboard for accuracy, touch and it's the most practical.

Nevermind this suggestion, it's best that the user picks their own keyboard based on their taste. Gingerbread Keyboard for Android 2.3 and Go Keyboard are the best IMO so far.

My 2cents

Not sure if it's just me, but I'm noticing that my reception is a little lower than norm? Usually I'm at full bars at my place, but when it first booted up after v3.0 flash there were no bars and after a while there's 3 bars. Could the rom have an effect on the reception?

Correction, this is not relevant anymore. After a while for some unknown reason I have full bars and better reception than ever before. I guess the phone just needed time to warm up with the new rom like a cold car on a winter day. Reception is SPECTACULAR! (See update above.)

TricH you're awesome! Keep up the good work!

You should add a paypal donation to your signature...hint hint. I'm sure there are a lot of folks on here that wouldn't mind making some donations...:D

(Decided to change all the updates to Blue instead of Red. Red tends to be a negative color.)
