I've got two D-INC std 1500 batteries that are used( 6mo, 2mo) and a back cover for one too. I was just wondering if people are still willing to buy the original batteries rather than going for the higher end ones that are out now? I just have no use for them myself as i've upgraded to a D-INC II and no longer have the D-INC handset it self due to it being sent back to big V for repair/trade for the II.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] bbeelzebub:
If your battery has an STD, you might take it to the clinic. I'm pretty sure they can clear that up.

Hate to revive but what did you mean by clinic? And really I'd be selling both for like 20ish, back cover possibly included if you need/want it.

fyi, stock batteries are 1300 mah... and $20 is ripping us off cause i got a 1500 for ~$5 last year when i got my phone, and just bought a seidio extended batt and cover for $12.

If you wanna help someone out, you could offer it to a friend who has a Dinc or an EVO 4g(works on this too).

No nv_data.bin

So after doing some searching; online and in the phone.

all the "free" app unlock will NOT work on the Skyrocket. Like the TSGS2, it DOESN'T have the NV_DATA.BIN to modify.

For now, the only way to unlock is to wait out for your 15-30days + a good standing with AT&T to ask for an unlock codes.

There *might* be some dealers out there offering unlock codes for SkyRocket.

Hell... exclusive my arse...

call them back and tell them that T-Mobile offers the EXACT phone and they are releasing unlock codes. If they don't give you one, you take your business to the competitors
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CobaltCowboy:
I called them asking WTF about that. Other companies were selling the phone unlocked online, and I gave them URL's. I told them T-Mobile has the same phone for sale, so their legal department's "exclusive" excuse is BS.

I wasn't pissed or using obscene language towards the operator, because it wasn't his & her fault (called twice), but they did put note in their records about my complaint and my request to forward it to their manager, along with the URL's for other companies selling it unlocked and the URL for T-Mobile's version of this phone.

So what did I end up doing? I paid $20 to have it unlocked from an online service. Apparently the phone that can't be unlocked has now been unlocked.

I really think this will be my absolute last AT&T phone. Their business practices have gone to sh*t over the years (ie: the T-Mobile attempted buyout and their illogical reasoning). Every time they bought a company, prices have gone up and customer service has gone down.

Plus, T-Mobile's no contract offerings are rather attractive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PeterGuru:
Who did you use to unlock the phone? There are so many out there, I'd prefer to deal with someone who has an actual unlock code, and if it worked for you, it will work for others.

I don't have the AT&T version. I'm with Rogers in Canada, and the model number is pretty-much the same (the only exception being an "R" at the end to indicate that it's Canadian) ... SGH-i727R.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:
are you trying to root your phone?

if it hangs at "daemon started successfully" then chances are your computer can't see your phone correctly... find adb and type "adb devices" and see if it can identify your device.

install KIES to get your computer to see the device:

have you actually TRY another sim card from another carrier to see it actually works?

Because I can tell you right now, it's NOT going to work. Because the Skyrocket doesn't have nv_data.bin that it's trying to modify. (if you actually go to your SDcard you'll see the nv_data.bin it made a back of is 0kb, which means it couldn't find it)

If you read my post earlier... I already try to look for it. it doesn't exists

My Unlock Process and a Question...

I went through cellunlocker (paid $28.99) and got the list of unlock codes for my 'Rocket. It only took about an hour to get the codes via e-mail. I inserted a SIM card from a Motorola Photon 4G (Sprint) and got the dialog where you enter the code. I entered the network code (8 digits) and the phone returned "Unlock Successful" or the like. The status bar then showed a circle with diagonal line through it (no network icon) but I think this is normal since the Sprint SIM is not activated.

The usual keycode of *#7465625# (*#SIMLOCK#) causes process com.android.phone to stop and a force close is necessary to clear the message. I know this keycode is not supported on all handsets.

Does anyone know of a way to view the various lock mechanisms (Network, Provider, Subprovider, Defreeze) similar to what *#SIMLOCK# returns on the OG GSII?

Edit: "network" was "provider"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jubjubbird:
Have you tried a working SIM card from another carrier yet? Did it work?

I, too, ordered unlock codes for the Skyrocket from cellunlocker.net. They sent several: network code, provider code, subprovider code and unfreeze code. I haven't tried unlocking yet because I am unsure which code to enter when prompted. Out of curiosity, why did you try the provider code instead of the network code? Anyway, if this doesn't work, I think I am going to trade in for the SGSII which is apparently unlockable via software...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phil9000:

Cellunlocker works and yes I did test a t mobile SIM and it works

I did the same thing (cellunlocker) and received a code(s) very quickly. Once you enter a different SIM (I used my wife T mobile SIM) and once prompted for the unlock code enter the first code: Network code. Restart the phone.

It takes a little longer (several minutes) than usual but the T mobile network does come up and it is EDGE for data. I made several phone calls to test and it works on voice fine, even called myself from T mobile and left myself a message which I checked using VVM once I put my ATT SIM back in. I wanted to unlock for travel overseas.

i would gladly pay $10 for an app that unlocks, $15 if it did so instantly. I tried cellunlock . net. they had a unlock offer for ANY att phone. I payed (and was charged), but later they sent an apology email with no code OR refund. after they refused to refund my payment for 8 days, I had to dispute (and escalate) through paypal, before they sent my refund.

3 lessons learned:

1- Paypal protects buyers.

2- Unlock sites are gray to say the least.

3- apps are more trustworthy.

After hours on the phone with numerous AT&T managers, I was unable to get any information on getting the phone unlocked. They even provided me with a fake number to their device support center which apparently doesn't exist. I am convinced no one in the standard tech suppot centers have any method of retrieving the code. I even got the number for the Samsung device support center which "doesn't even have a method of unlocking the device or an unprovisioned version of the software they can give me since the Skyrocket is 'exclusive'". This is extremely frustrating (especially since the sales rep told me ATT WOULD unlock the phone for me for my travels to Europe).

I'm looking into figuring out how to unlock this phone, but I am not sure where to start. I'm new to the Skyrocket community so if someone would point me to whatever devs or irc channel exist that would be great. I'll see what I can do and I can even package the solution into an app if we find one. I just refuse to pay money to unlock my phone and hate to see others have to pay a fee.

How much does it cost... and it's almost certainly Devs that come up with the codes. In the end you're paying for their time.

I do see where you're coming from, but I'd rather pay for the work that the Devs do, than the gouging that we get from the carriers.

Hey all, I'm going to be switching to Verizon in the next couple months, I am getting tired of sprint's 3g "dial-up" speeds. The problem obviously is verizon's data plans. I normally use about 3gb of data, and I am trying to get it down to under 2gb so I can get that plan with verizon. I have been using 3g Watchdog Pro for the last few days to monitor my data usage.

I use Google Music Beta a few times a day, but I see it's using WAY more data than it should. I cleared out the data usage from 3g watchdog pro, and then opened Music Beta, and streamed 2 songs that were each about 3 minutes long. After streaming those two files, 3g watchdog shows Music Beta used 80MB of data. I don't know how that is possible since those songs are each about 4mb big.

Anyone else who uses Music Beta and 3g Watchdog notice this?

And it's interesting how Verizon calculates their data as well.

I have an aircard through them which is still under an unlimited cap (don't ask), but they do send me automated messages when the card gets up over 5GB/mo..

During the data period, I think they also count some internal packet overhead. In checking the logs for my use on both the card and the server I connect to, they bill out a little more than 1k for every k you actually send and receive. YMMV

Google Music downloads stuff even when not using the application

I have noticed that Google Music is constantly downloading things at random times. Sometimes LOTS of things. I had it somehow download 250MB in the middle of the night when I wasn't using my phone a few times, and the application was not running ( at least not as far as my task manager knew ). What is it doing? I have gone through all of the applications' settings, and I don't see anything that stands out as an option. I ran through my 2GB data plan in 5 days. This is my first experience using Google Music, but let me tell you, I am very close to removing it, and going back to sync'ing music to the SD card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MakeMeFibonacci:
Any sort of streaming service (Pandora, Crackle, Netflix, Hulu Plus, et cetera) is not really ideal for plans with bandwidth caps. I'm sorry, dude, but you are going to be paying through the nose unless regardless unless you only stream over wifi. I know it sucks, but there's nothing you can do about it.

If you stay with Sprint, though, you can do this, which may solve your speed issues. However, you will not be able to get unlimited Any Mobile calling (if you have the 450 minutes plan). I would do that first and see if it works. If it doesn't, then consider switching to Verizon.

I hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pimpinonline:
I totally understand the part about streaming services not being ideal for mobile service plans that are capped, but I guess I only expect for the streaming application ( in this case Google Music which is more like on demand than "streaming" - like Pandora ) to consume data while I am actively using it.

In the example I'm trying to make, it appears that the application is using large amounts of data when I'm not using it. That's the question I was hoping to have answered here.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemo Aeternamn:
google is meant to cache... and it downloads the files in a pretty big block... so after it's done downloading for the moment... you can skip... five or more songs... and it will pick back up... so unlike pandora... google actually caches.. and instead of only streaming one song at a time.. so it uses even more data then pandora does because of that...

the only thing i can really say to help has pretty much been mentioned... have it set to only stream/download over wifi... download a sizable playlist... and go from there

So no one has any other solution to getting Google Music to stop downloading so much data?

my slacker.com account - which I used much more during the holidays only used 35mb. That is over 37x the data usage!
