Only problem so far is finding a screenshot app that can see I really an rooted anyone using thorV12 using a screen shot app and it works?
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
That's a very basic overclocking setup, can only change min. /Max. Clock speeds and governor. I use the actual setcpu app so I can use profiles on screen off, charging and different battery levels. Thankfully Thor allowed the ability to enable or disable the built in overclocker.

Same here, was using screenshot ER and now its no longer working. Thor, if you're still around can you recommend one?
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
rom has build in screenshot feature.... check settings-> display

[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
so complete newb when loading custom roms on anything android. rooted my dx way back when, but lost it with the GB update. Anyway, flashed back to 3.0.1, rooted, installed V12 and the new kernel, and i'm loving it so far. Only thing is, and I didn't have much time to play with it before I had to leave for work, WiFi doesn't seem to want to turn on. It's been stuck on "Turning on..." for over an hour. Don't have wifi at work, but i assume that's not the reason for this.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

didn't wipe caches before first install. just wiped all and did a fresh install. same problem of wifi stuck at "turning on..."
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
First off thors v12 comes with newest kernel

Secondly I'd recommend to factory rest and wipe your caches then reflash rom see if that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
Tried that, will try again just to make sure.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

also, when I try to go into storage under settings (to mount/unmount sd card/usb) I get a fc and this message: The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped blah blah blah)

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

all seems to be working as it should now. wiped everything again and installed just the rom (w/o reinstalling the kernal). apparently that's what the problem was. Also, noticed "system" was unmounted, so remounted it and the sd card is working again too.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
So is everything working now?

U can pm me for any additional help
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
Everything appears to be working now, even BT tethering. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] runeblade:
I love his Rom's. They are fast as hell, but one major issue forced me back to acer based roms. USB support. No matter what I did I could not get USB keyboards or USB gamepads to work. The kernal was recognizing it, because i could pull it up in terminal, but the rom was missing the drivers to actually utilize it. Given that I use both a lot it killed it for me. I talked with him about it, and the consensus was that it was because ASUS doesn't have the full size usb port.
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
For me, personally, I don't really get the need for a keyboard. If I have something that's typing intensive, I generally have my macbook close by. I thought about getting the touchpad bt keyboard since it was on sale, but thought better of it. Maybe I'm just not understanding what exactly can be done w/ the keyboard paired w/ the tablet...:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] runeblade:
In my case I use One Note extensively and have it synced with my tablet. I use it all the time for documentation and note taking. It's easier for me to just grab one of the keyboards off the shelf at work, and use that than lug around a Bluetooth keyboard all of the time. My tablet has essentially replaced my laptop for day to day operations out in the field. I can do anywork I need to the cisco router with the usb to serial adapter. I also use the fullsize port for plugging in thumbdrives all the time as well. My point was to get to a point where I am not lugging around a laptop as well, and I have succeeded.
[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:
hdmi out issue

I am going back and forth between Thor's v 13 and stock 3.1 because I can't use my HP hdmi to VGA converter with Thor's rom. The rom recognizes hdmi is plugged in, but does not display on the monitor or projector. Other than that, Thor's rom is spectacular in performance and stability.

is there a way to resolve this issue or to reset by the labtop or even to remove the battary as trial.

please help me as my tap is totally black now
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Dare I ask...is your battery charged?

Next questions would be what version did you flash, which boot loader are you on, what happened exactly...
[Acer Iconia A500] mnainr:
dear,

the ver is 14.2 and i download it from below link,

Sorru i could not post the link but it is from this site tegraowners.com,

it was working perfect but it just suudenly turned of as blck screen, and i tried to keep it charging for long time and i made the hard reset from the sidebutton but no effect,

is there a way to reset it from labtop connection like the I-PAD or the I-phone
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Generally, we request you post your issues related with TegraOwners Roms at the TegraOwners site.

However, it sounds like 1 or 2 issues.

1. You have what we call "SOD" (sleep of death). This can usually be fixed by simply holding down the PWR button for 7 seconds, wait a couple seconds, then pressing PWR button again and the tab should boot normally.

2. You are stuck in APX mode. For this, you will probably have to visit the DEV thread, and look at the guides for getting unstuck from APX mode. If you are, generally your display will be black, and the PWR button is white.

Pressing the reset pinhole does nothing, unless you know the proper sequence.

You really didn't provide a lot of information about this. For example, which version Bootloader did you have (HC, Stock ICS, or the Unlocked Bootloader from Skirlax_CZ)

The rom you installed, is an HC based rom. This would mean it can only run from an HC Bootloader.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
Feedback based on Stock Tmo ROM

PROS

after spending more than 12 hours straight doing all kind of stuff to this phone, which would have normally killed it in the old Nexus S, the T989 has by far surpassed all the expectations i had with it.

super fluid, i can do more than 10 things at once without crashing, hanging, or freezing, and simply rebooting like it did on the Nexus S.

i can be copying things around withing the phone while doing or running other apps, or installing things, without feeling a bit of lag

those simple operations would have easily frozen the Nexus S until whatever was holding it is done doing whatever it was doing.

The network speed is amazing, areas where i had poor download speed, less than 1 Mbps, now i can get 3 Mbps, areas where it maxed out at 5 Mbps i can get 8~9 Mbps (these are all indoors tests), and this is all in the broadware riddle stock ROM from Tmo

Eager to run some outdoor test to see how much higher the speed goes :D

speed coping pasting stuff to and from the SD card to PC or SD card to from internal memory is super fast

screen is simply amazing, it's working properly as designed, it was expected of a SAMOLED+ display, no where near as bad as it was presented on the worry topics.

camera is great, and very responsive, no shooter lag at all, unlike the Nexus S

flash works fine

the build quality is the highest i've seen from Samsung

CONS

the only thing that does worry me is the back cover...

i'm afraid after a while those teeth that keeps the cover locked to the side might simply wear out after frequent usage, like changing battery packs, changing SD cards, etc.

the speaker volume for speaker phone/ring tone is kinda low, compared to the Nexus S

screen default auto brightness is waaaaaaay too low, lets just say it stays at Zero or 5% most of the time. (work around, disable auto, and manually adjust to your liking), this will get better once CM7 or 3rd party apps becomes available to auto adjust screen brightness level as we set it to the level we want.

hmm... i can't think of anything else at the moment

still too excited and having too much fun, flashing things, restoring backup, migrating stuff from old phone to new phone, and installing more crap load of stuff to my 32GB class 10 Adata, soon to be replaced with the sandisk 64GB when it arrives by mail :D so i'll be installing even more stuff, until the phone slows down to a crawl, then i'll hold back :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NICEGYPT:
I really want to go ahead and get it. I sold my sensation to get Galaxy nexus. But I am not going to pay over 600$ for a phone if it doesn't come to tmobile. I really liked the galaxy s 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josemedina1983:
I'm not a big fan of the GSII looks are pretty standard build quality seems good but not premium. but where things change is once you hold the device and use it you get this damn rock solid device in every aspect. Camera looks Great more settings than stock 2.3, Screen looks great with vivid colors, performance is just blazing even after so many MEH reviews of not having a Exynos this thing flies. Made me say damn your not my favorite but you really know how to keep me happy LOL. for someone to say this phone is garbage or bad they must be out of their mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
What are your thoughts on the radio? Do you lose signal often?

I wholeheartedly agree with your review of the GS2! AMAZING phone! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i've not noticed anything weird on the radio, made several phone calls conversation walking/driving around just fine

i use 3G data a lot, and did not lose signal, unless i'm inside the elevator, or places deep inside the buildings like toilet, and basement places

the radio reception is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the Nexus S

i still need to test inside Cotsco and Walmart super centres

those places i used to lose signal on the Nexus S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bhowanidin:
Coming from a Vibrant and G2x, I absolutely love this phone. The Vibrant was really what opened me up to Android while the G2x paved the way for rooting, recovery, and ROMs.

They both had their quirks and I feel like the SGSII is THE best phone out there. I see myself with this phone for a long time because of the great development and involvement of the Android community.

Sent from my EagleBlood-infused SGSII or my GTab 10.1 now "In Paris"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pekoso1:
I have to be honest guys, initially I did not like the thought of having a 4.5" display on my hands, I went and got the HTC AMAZE the same night was experiencing a horrible screen bleed, then found out the battery only last around 4-5hrs, it was a horrible 24hr experience... So, I decided to give the Galaxy SII a chance... OMG!!!... The GSII is the best phone I have ever had, battery is awesome I've been using the phone like there is no tomorrow, Web, YouTube, Text msg, Talking for hours, I mean constant use all day long, and I still have 30% left the battery, love it!!!... The screen, the colors, the camera its great... Definitely a way better build phone than other phones out there... Enjoy!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:
I had a vibrant a while back and that phone just doesn't compare. The back cover on the GSII is flimsy but at least it feels premium while on the phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ryan562:
I too came from the Nexus S and share the same opinion on this phone as you. I also am quite happy with the current rom devs for this phone. I am running EagleBlood rom and am getting some crazy good battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
I have both the nexus s and the gs2. My gs2 spends more time in the box than it does being used. Don't get me wrong the phone is amazing but I like aosp(CM7). As soon as CM7 comes to the gs2 I wont look back. Gs2 ftw
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
I was gunna make a post to see who was actually happy with the phone but you have done it for me.

I Love this phone its the bestest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] galaxys2noobs:
i came from iphone and the battery life is nothing compare to iphone. my expectations for this phone was off the charts, but now im just ehh.

Welcome to SGS2 Club AllGamer! Yes this phone is a Beast! Glad you finally got it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Loving my SGS2, don't really have any complaints. I also love all the devs that are popping out of nowhere to develop for this phone, not to mention Team Whiskey is also working on something.

If they made my Vibrant go from a POS to an awesome phone, I wonder what they are gonna do with this one. Can't wait!

Hercules Hercules!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] galaxys2noobs:
other than the battery, this phones features are crazy. and there are a lot of devs doing nice stuff to improve it too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I am a flashing maniac as well as a guy who gets bored with phones in a few weeks. I have had all the top devices, and the SGS2 has honestly exceeded all of my expectations X100!!! I don't even have the urge to Root it and flash ROMs because I am actually happy with it bone stock (a first for me). I think I have finally found my dream phone. When people show me their new iPhones I just giggle and smile. I want to marry this *****!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] barondebxl:
This phone is definitely amazing, exynos or not. I actually love touchwiz 4.0, something I thought I would never say. HUGE improvement over previous versions of touchwiz. No wonder why all tech reviews give this phone lots of praises.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
same here, of all the phones i've ever had, i was never happy with the stock ROM

this is a first, never seen such a snappier stock ROM ever

the crapware from Tmo are easy enough to remove once rooted.

now, if i flash ROM is just out of curiosity to check out what cool features the guys are adding

otherwise if i want a stable ROM, i'll just flash back to stock :D

i actually have a copy of the stock ROM in my SD card ready to be flash back, just in case any of the ROMs becomes unstable ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] punchemcface:
I love this damn thing. Stock rom surprised the hell out of me with the features/responsiveness.

The only gripes I have are the lines at low brightness, the insane amount of bloatware, and no notification light.

Other than that, wow. I really can't believe how much I adore this phone. And the fact that I love to mod my phones (nexus one, g1 and hd2) says a lot for this one when I say I don't have any desire to root. Besides the bloat, but at least the app drawer lets me hide it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juntjoo:
Ok, I'm using eagleblood with go launcher... I'm in a constant love fest with the phone. Was that too overboard? Inappropriate? Awkward? I don't care. Well I came from a Droid Eris, so my ecstasy should be understandable. The Go Launcher is really solid BTW(tried a couple others that performed really sketchy) and I got it to get the desktop in landscape mode(whenever needed).and yeah, it's solid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jaekidd1012:
Just picked up an SGS2 last night and the only reason I don't share your enthusiasms yet is because I haven't had a chance to play with this thing as much yet but I doubt my expectations will be nothing less than exceeded BY FAR! I've seen my 1.2GHz OC'ed Xoom get bested, if not totally pwned, in Smartbench 2011 by GSIIs in productivity and slightly beaten in games. Like others have mentioned, I'm not totally interested in rooting this thing yet which is usually the first thing I wanna do with any Android device I own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Beast phone is major beast.

This phone has great battery life and has great features. When you turn on Bluetooth it asks what device you want to connect to (major plus). It has excellent GPS and the rest of the phone is crazy too. Did I mention its beast? XD

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jaekidd1012:
Can't help but be curious as to why Samsung and T-Mo opted for the Qualcomm APQ8060 over the Exynos 4210 for this version. Not that it matters much day-to-day but still...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
For the data speed. It helps our version with better/faster GPS lock too. And battery life is better from the qualcomm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
drolling...

i'm so in love!!! with this phone :p

Gosh, i've never seen Titanium Backup run that fast ever before :eek:

it's so much fun to flash things and restore backup, without spending hours restoring/backing up stuff (500+ apps & games)

now with the 1.8 kernels and BLN this phone is even more complete than ever bfeore :D:D:D:D:D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian6685:
The only thing on this phone that's slower then my nexus s is nandroid... But probably because of my 16gb class -3 sd card :/ this phone is awesome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Yea, im still in love with it too. The apps I've found make this phone so good. I don't even know if I can leave Samsung for a different phone maker if they keep the quality and standards this good.

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
everything runs so fast, that i actually can't believe it's true

many of the "loading" messages that i used to see in the other phones, it just flashes by in the T989 so quickly that i miss the messages sometimes when i'm working/looking at something else and then i look back, i wont even know it was done already, so many times i've end up running the same task again just to be sure it really was done that fast LOL :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
^ That's one thing about this phone as compared to phones like the sensation. I never get a loading msg for os related tasks. The sensation was riddled with loading screens, even on the home screen.

I'm surprised the sensation doesn't "load" phone calls. "Incoming call - Loading" :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SoMuch2S@y:
I have to completely agree with everyone here, I LOVE this phone. I have had my baby for less than a week and I can't stop touching it!

I watched a tips/tricks vid I found online that blew my mind with little things that can be done (adjust screen brightness by holding notification bar and sliding right or left for up/down) that make me love it more and more.

I wasn't really sure I would like the huge size of it (I am a girl with small hands) but I look at my old G2 (that I handed off to my husband) and laugh everytime I see that tiny screen. It really is a solid, beautiful phone.

Most surprising is how much I like the stock ROM, I am a ROM switching addict and the G2 gave me so many options. But I have never been so satisfied with stock until now! TouchWiz is really cool!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jaekidd1012:
Oh, okay. I saw in the Phonedog review on YouTube that Samsung and T-Mobile had compatibility issues with the Exynos processor which is why they went with the Qualcomm chip. Not sure about that. Either way, this phone is great!

Well said All Gamer. I could not agree more. GET THIS PHONE!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
the boot/reboot time of this phone is sooooooooo fast

it takes less than 5 sec to go from total off to ready to use in the launcher screen :eek: :D

totally sweet

the list of apps in Titanium Backup loads up immediately, without having to wait, and i got crap load of apps and games

on my old nexus S the same amount of apps will make TB takes at least a full minute + 1/2 to load up completely
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sl___:
Honestly, coming from a Blackberry Curve 8330, this step-up is almost too surreal. This phone is amazing.

I'm glad I've been exposed to Android, learning more about rooting etc. etc.

I am a pretty heavy user and I am surprised this phone can handle it considering it's connected to 4G..

Nothing but good things to say about this phone.

I hate to be a "me-too" but I LOVED my Google Nexus S the past year, it was in my opinion light years ahead of any competition, including my GF's iPhone 4.

I thought it was the best phone one could carry aroud.

But, the Nexus S2 - as with AllGamer - has surpassed my expectations. I have only good things to say. Agree with all points AllGamer makes. Dim screen, concerned about back cover, crappy speaker, and I really cn't find a good predictive text setting -- the Nexus S had what I would call PERFECT prediction, where (maybe it's just too new and still learning?) the GS2 is pretty irritating with its predictive words (the Nexus S had only predictive spelling, at least the way I had it set up). Add one, the Nexus S had a curved screen and when I dropped it, it saved the screen beautifully. This GS2 will need a little help since its screen is flat.

Everyone that looks at it, says it is too big to be portable ... until they hold it. It fits all my pockets, is thinner than the Nexus S, and a LOT faster. If you haven't tried Asphalt 6, YOU HAVE TO SEE IT! I was taken aback at the 3D effect and speedy GPU.

Lastly, cases.... they suck right now, and along those lines, the fact that the T-Mo model is slightly different from other GS2's i dimension as well as rooting methodology etc, concerns me just a little.

Oh btw ... I went to Ghost Armour yesterday locally, and they 1) do not offer a clear backing -- duh, the guys said that's because the "carbon fiber protects better" ... um no. That plastic is just plastic, made to look woven, and protects no better than clear ... HOWEVER of course this got me thinking, the textured back panel will make it a real challenge to stick anything to it. Hmmmm. Also, GA basically offer you a sticker for the front at $20+; one for the back at another 20 smackers, and included with the back is a set of strips that are a) too thin to make a difference and b) not going to cover the important bits.

So we're stuck with a hard(er) full case Blah.

All that said, the 2 phones side-by-side, there is no comparison, the NS looks like 2 generations ago sitting next to the GS2. LOVE the phone. It's like carrying a 4G tablet but without the too-bigness.
