No, it just goes to the web2go site saying I don't have data service. My old phone was just a simple one and couldn't access the web.

I've actually turned off "Use packet data" since I don't use it anyway. I figure it may save a little bit of battery by not trying to connect to 4G/Edge when I'm out, and I won't get surprised if they actually start allowing it but charge a big price.

So far as battery goes, i find the t679 way way better than my android phones qith the same amount of use. With my mytouch 4g and g2x, i only get 6-8hrs and hd2 about 10hrs max.

Volume warning with headphones

I don't see my answer anywhere so hopefully someone knows... When I'm listening to music with headphones or mainly when I use an AUX cable to my car stereo I have a warning saying if I turn the volume any louder I could cause hearing damage. After a few seconds it turns the volume down on its own. I can't believe they didn't think about the people plugging into stereos and not using headphones?! I need that extra volume for my car stereo!

Peach Sunrise V1.2

Peach Sunrise is the first custom ROM for the Samsung Exhibit II. It's Touchwiz-based, deodexed, zipaligned, rooted, very lightly themed and uses a custom kernel. The support files for Carrier IQ have been removed. ClockworkMod and Odin are supported for installation.

ADW Launcher is default. This launcher is highly themable, with many hundreds of themes (including ICS) downloadable from the Market. It also happens to be the default for CyanogenMod, so Peach is in good company :)

Titanium Backup & Quickboot (free versions) are included in the ROM.

The kernel (true of the stock kernel also) is underclock capable, so the Voltage Control app is included. Underclocking may help lengthen your battery life. Overclocking is not (yet) supported.

If you're a techie, extra features (that don't get in the way if you're not) include busybox, bash shell, init.d support, rc.local support, remount script and two modes of wireless access (ssh & adb wireless). Additionally, adb now supports root access, allowing you to do things from your command line that were not previously possible.

Additionally, the stock WallpaperChooser has been modified exposing 30 new Wallpapers from Samsung, previously hidden in the source code!

Peach Sunrise V1.2 is available HERE

Rooted kernel for Exhibit II

Linked below is a rooted kernel, the easy method to root your Samsung Exhibit II 4g!

Simply copy a zip file to your internal or external sdcard and reboot into recovery. Choose install zip from the menu and when it completes, you are rooted! Also installed are Busybox, Superuser.apk and su. Additionally, when finished you will have ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 installed as well.

This kernel is suitable for any stock (or stockish) Samsung Exhibit II 4g.

So what's up wit miui kem

via my exhibit II GREATEST AWESOMENESS
[General Questions and Answers] KemikalElite:
I was busy today flashing my friend's HTC Mytouch 4G with Android 2.3/Sense 3.5.

I've never seen someone get so excited over a stock Sense ROM in my life.

Anyway, DarthJonathan over there on the SGW has made significant progress porting an alpha stage build of MIUI for their Galaxy W. Doesn't bpear have some sort of experimental whatchamacallit that converts SGW ROMs into exhibit II ROMs? If I could use that on their ROM to get the alpha build running on the exhibit ii and then all I would need to do is fix a force close error with two apps: the Theme Manager app and the Settings app. Then we might just have a stable ROM. However, the bad side is that there is a lack of interest which means nobody is getting much support from real devs. I still don't blame the devs for that.

I don't really like MIUI that much either. For one, there honestly isn't anyone in the world who can pronounce the name right the same way there's no one that can spell my username right either. Second, It's Android but its design is way too far from the basic design of standard Android.it is a good example of how modifiable it is. it's like the Kindle fire. I thought I was gonna be sick when I saw how much of the Android OS Amazon had changed. The only things that were the same were the settings icon and the unknown sources option. But that's just my opinion and the a ROM's a ROM.

Sorry for my bad worse than normal punctuation. I composed half of that with voice input. its pretty accurate.

VoIP for receiving calls

I got this phone with the $30 prepaid 4g unlimited data/text and 100 mins. a month through Walmart, fantastic deal and support all around. I've installed skype, google voice and Groove IP for VoIP. I got a phone number on google voice and I have successfully managed to make calls on Groove IP with good quality.

My question is, is there any way to receive VoIP calls on this $30 Walmart prepaid plan ? The catch with google voice call forwarding from my google voice number is that when I try to activate forwarding to my actual phone number, google voice reminds me : 'Note: This feature does not work with T-Mobile prepaid phone plans.'

Has anybody found a way around this or have an alternative solution to receive VoIP calls with this phone and plan ?

btw, I have tried using skype to make calls over 4g with my skype account credit, worked for the first few days with good results, then, every time I tried calling somebody with it (through the integrated skype call option in dialer), it would just hang up every time after connecting !!?) Anybody else experience this ? When I disengaged my 4g mobile data plan and switched onto my local wifi, then skype calls from worked no problem, strange...
[General Questions and Answers] stab244:
If you go to the Google Voice site, there's an option to let you forward to your Google Talk. If you do that it'll ring the GrooveIP number if anyone calls your Google Voice number. The only issue with that though is that you might get 2 phone calls at the same time if you have it set to ring both your phone and Google Talk.

I have it setup to ring on both the phone and groove IP. This gives me the choice to answer on my t Mobile account using minutes (I do this when I need to have a perfectly clear connection with no echoes, crackling voices, delays etc), to answer on groove (if I am in a very strong wifi zone, even though this is not always reliable) or to let it go to g voice mail. If I reject the Tmobile call and also reject the groove call the voice mail message is picked up by google voice and I don't have to use minutes to listen to it, or gets transcribed, which is even

[General Questions and Answers] pojo:
@stab244 and akashvani : thanks for the suggestions guys, upon trying both of your methods, I still can't seem to receive calls through Groove IP. Also, after making some more calls through Groove IP, the receiver found the quality very poor, delayed and with lots of echo, despite my 4G signal in NYC.

At this point, I would prefer to use skype as the means to make calls since the quality seemed to be much better when it DID work. As I mentioned in my previous post, I can make skype phone calls using my skype credit only if I am connected to a Wi-Fi, not if I am connected using my 4G plan. Has anybody else experienced this ? Is there any workaround ?
[General Questions and Answers] jwsm:
For me, GrooveIP has been nothing but a real PITA. Could never get it to work as advertised. If you're looking for alternatives, try Talkatone for Android(currently in beta so a bit unstable), Skype(not free), or Vonage Mobile(currently free w/3000 min), all of which offer better call quality and are more reliable than GrooveIP IMO.
[General Questions and Answers] Pinan:
This a known issue with voice over 3/4 G. Wifi is very solid with me. The only adjustments I've made is to turn down the mic a bit, to help stop voice loop (echo) to the person I'm calling.

GV itself can introduce echo and lag. In such a case, GrooVeIP is not the culprit.
[General Questions and Answers] SurgeRush:
I also had nothing but problems no matter how much I played with the settings, didn't matter if I was on 4G or wifi. Others have great success, but everyone I spoke to had horrible echo no matter what I did. I had the same problem with Talkatone, I think I'm going to try Skype next possibly.
[General Questions and Answers] jocala:
Skype's app sucks. I had to recompile it just to change to a ringtone I could hear! The call quality is great though. I wonder how being part of Microsoft will play in down the road, as far as Android support goes.

[General Questions and Answers] jocala:
With Skype, I think the phone number for incoming @ $7.00/mo plus the $3.00/mo for unlimited are not too bad, and the call quality is generally excellent both on Wifi & 4G. Featureless app though...I mean, having the ringtone hard-coded???

Why don't you try it and report back?
[General Questions and Answers] adv99:
Well, I've had this phone about a week and I'm ready to return it. I see two major problems, and can't find any solution for them.

1. When I come home after being on the 3G/4G network and my phone connnects to my WPA2 secured router, the Web app doesn't work. All links are dead. It usually starts working 5-10 minutes after the Wifi connection is established. All other apps that require internet seem to work fine over Wifi, immediately, including Speedtest.net's app, and the market. There's no real reason for this problem, but I note that I experienced the same problem with the cheaper Samsung Dart, as well. I also own several other Android phones (several LG Optimus One's and a Motorola Defy) and none have this problem.

I've read from other users that this problem is related to the level of encryption on your Wifi network and that if you go to WPA, WEP, or no encryption, the problem does not occur. However, I'm not interested in reducing my level of security over Wifi.

2. I simply cannot get Wireless Tether for Root Users to work. It sets up fine behaves as expected, but when I attempt to connect using my laptop, the connection is never completed. The laptop has no trouble connecting to any of my other phones running Wireless Tether.

I've also tried using Titanium Backup to uninstall Tethering Manager 2.09.21. That does work, but it is impossible to change any of the defaults, i.e. I cannot change the AP name or implement security. The changes will be inputting, but will be ignored. When I exit and reenter the tethering app, the defaults return.

Has anyone found a solution to either of these problems?

My understanding is that it uses the mobile number that you already have. Outgoing calls using the app use VOIP and will not use mobile minutes. For incoming calls, only app-to-app calls are VOIP otherwise they will be routed just like normal calls through your mobile carrier's network and will eat up minutes.
