[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lonewolf69:
I was 1 week away from my 30-day return on my AT&T SG2 (SGH-I777) when the Skyrocket and Vivid were announced. I too live in NY work in NYC and live on Long Island. I was debating back and forth for days deciding on staying or switching over to Skyrocket/Vivid with LTE.

But in the end, I *RECALLED* vividly how AT&T treated 3G when it was finally rolled out the NYC... :(

Only NYC first and then slowly after 18 months (longer?) 3G network started to trickle in the outer suburbs and Long Island. Now AT&T are going to intoduce a new LTE phone (2 of them) with no plans for LTE in writing for NY? That sealed the deal for me... I'm not going to *WAIT* around for AT&T to come to their senses for LTE service to finally delivery the service to NY. I'll keep my SGSII and wait the 18 months for LTE to finally arrive and enjoy the SGSII as is...

I have one friend who actually has the phone, and I played with it at the Corporate store for a bit of time and it's a pretty decent phone... good luck to you all... I truly *HOPE* I'm wrong and that LTE service quickly expands to SF, NYC and LA so that you early adaptors can really enjoy your phone to it's fullest capacity...! :)

Try VIDEO streaming you'll need much faster speeds than 1MBPS if you want to watch videos nice and smooth without any choppiness... Yes, I do stream from both Netflix and my DLNA enabled home media server using SKIFTA and enjoy it very much over WIFI network running 10+ MBPS, but the moment it drops below 7 MBPS it SKIFTA drops Netflix struggles a bit but eventually plays but it's choppy at 1~3 MBPS...

For normal internet and quick web browsing it's more that adequate at these speeds but if that's all I was doing, I wouldn't have purchased the high end Galaxy SII, I would have stuck with my crappy iphone 3G.

I'm sorry you don't find FASTER network throughput that *IMPORTANT* to you but I'll bet there are plenty others that might feel a *BIT* differently about the fastest speed, but ultimately if it wasn't for the 4.5" screen and LTE why else would one shell out the $150+ for the skyrocket? Sorta like buying a Porsche only to be told that sorry, the roads too bumpy to drive faster than 65mph, but that shouldn't matter, WHY would you want to drive faster than 65mph...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mariol90:
where are you getting "a year" from? even de la Vega said in 2-3 years they'll be caught up.

http://articles.cnn.com/2011-06-02/..._ralph-de-la-vega-new-cell-site-4g?_s=PM:TECH

also can't you buy a SR anywhere? so based off what you said, every area of the US should be getting LTE "implemented shortly".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lonewolf69:
Hi Barry can I quote you on that??!? :)

Both HTC Vivid and Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket has been been released here in NY. So accordingly, AT&T should be release LTE for NY soon right! :)

Quote - "...AT&T's not stupid enough to go on a marketing crusade pushing LTE in markets that are months away from go-live..."

I'll give them until first quarter 2012 to release LTE in the NY market, if they do, I'll eat crow and sell my SGSII to buy the Vivid or Skyrocket...

I'm betting we won't see LTE in NY until 2nd half of 2012... Just my two cents...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shansmi:
LOL, the "bars" commercial has been gone for a while. Pay attention. If service was bad in NYC, we would be on the news constantly. Since that is not the case there is another issue.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Nobody that knows the launch dates will be stupid enough to come here and post them. Doing something like that would get them barred from the entire industry. If someone in that position is wishing for a career change, there are easier ways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milan03:
AT&T is constantly on the NYC news, and blogs, it's a known fact that their service is notorious for dropped calls and crawling speeds in Manhattan during the business hours.

Also nobody is asking here the exact launch dates, we are simply observing accordingly, using our past experiences with AT&T. I have 'till december 6th to return my Skyrocket, love the phone, but as someone said earlier, dislike the service. I might have to fallback to my Infuse since I'll be getting the same exact network performance. Maybe wait for GS2 HD LTE sometimes during the Q2 2012.

Hi Shansmi,

"...Nobody that knows the launch dates will be stupid enough to come here and post them. Doing something like that would get them barred from the entire industry. If someone in that position is wishing for a career change, there are easier ways...."

I think you took my text out of quote... :) My post was directed at Barry, because he said AT&T is not *stupid* enough to release an LTE product without LTE service being provided shortly... I beg to differ, I believe that AT&T is really ***THAT*** stupid!

I've been an AT&T customer for years and I've witnessed their 3G rollout first hand when it was originally promised in NYC. It them over 18 months to finally get it rolled out from NYC (Manhattan) all the way out to the suburbs (Queens, Long Island) after it was publically announced, maybe even longer...

Judging by previous track record I don't think AT&T will be able to provide LTE service within MONTHS of their newly released LTE handsets HTC Vivid or Samsung's Skyrocket... I was just making a little *friendly* wager with Barry, as I don't know the actual LTE rollout in NYC but I'm ***BETTING*** it's going to happen later, MUCH later, rather than earlier as Barry has predicted...

[Nook Color General] eungholee2:
Hey all, I know for certain that my headset (altec lansing backbeat 903s) support mic input. I've tested it on my phone... so why not on the nook color? Last time I tried (on cm7 7.1 stable) it froze/rebooted my nc...

And I think I read something about there not being a bluetooth profile on the nc... anyone get bt working? instructions?
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
There are no audio input drivers for the Nook.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color General] eungholee2:
Could you elaborate? Does that mean no audio input is possible at all, or is it a simple matter of getting a driver running to allow input?
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
It is not possible right now and will most likely never be. There would have to be drivers created to support it and there doesn't seem to be much interest in getting it done.

Hey guys, i'm receiving official firmware update(i think because it's called samsung update) via zune just right now. I didn't even expect it!

updating................

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mirolg:
you are on Mango relase, correct? .... maybe InternetSharing update

Normaly before ZUNE install the update, the make a Backup to restore the pre relase.

If yo unsure, try this backup solution here

[APP] simply 100% BACKUP your phone - to 100% RESTORE over ZUNE

and try this update ......
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] DJBlaster-303:
finished, rebooted, then downloading another update, when rebooted the 1st time remained at least 2 minutes stuck at samsung omnia7 boot logo, if you are scared go have a walk in other rooms of your house, do your bed, clean up the mess, it worked for me

Updating my phone right now !! Unbranded, dev/intertop unlocked omnia 7. will post updates shortly.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] DJBlaster-303:
yes mirolg, i'm on mango, and i hope it is

and yes, zune did a backup before proceding! no worries, I hope i'm safe

thanks

and for the others, yes, i'm waiting it to finish to see what happens and post here the chnges

thanks for replies and happy updating
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] DJBlaster-303:
ok, done but no internet sharing, no option in settings

firmware is 2424.11.9.2 and before i was 11.8.5

hardware 3.15.0.4

radio software 2424.11.9.1

hardware radio 0.0.0.800

bootloader 5.9.0.6 i think it changed this also

SOC 0.36.2.0

that's it guys!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mirolg:
very confused over this update practice

I have ever thought a un-braded ROM are the better choice ....

My Omnia 7 is a t-mobile "light" branded device. before come the officially MANGO i have it flash it with a un-branded ROM. But it had a older firmware + no InternetSharing.

so i have few weeks ago my device flash with the t-mobile ROM. I`M now pleased with it and happy over the InternetSharing function ...

I have few WiFi only (tablet) devices and wouldn be without this great future .......
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] johnny.g:
yes the T-mobile ROM KH2 posted on mobiletechworld will persuade Zune to upgrade it to

radio 242.11.9.1

firm 242.11.9.4

bootloader 5.9.3.0

internet sharing & compass works perfectly now !

I had issues with the Data connection on Orange UK , but used the Samsung app "network profiles" to switch from T-mob de and it's all good.

I think the reason that the non-branded ones are lacking is, that not all carriers want internet sharing enabled.. so the generic one doesn't get it.. also I suppose the cost of testing it has to be paid by someone.. T mobile in this case :p
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mirolg:
hi :), i have the same relase as you, but i have no good working compass :confused:

which compass you use?

cheers, miro

and btw if you really need internet sharing you could enable it using diagnosis on a unbranded phone

just follow this guide on mobiletechworld and keep in mind you have to revert to zune sync when you want to use zune again

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] mrkillah:
Hmm well, my Omnia 7 differs from all of yours.

Seems like you are struck without Internet Sharing and on Mango 7720.

Ever though about flashing the firmware to a newer version? Or using a ROM from another carrier?

Mine is a Omnia 7 with T-Mobile Germany Branding and I had received Internet Sharing together with Mango 15 days ago.

I even received a few hours ago another new update, which changed the OS version to Mango 7.10.7740.16.

I already announced it on forums here (screenshot and version numbers there):

I successfully set up connection from my laptop with my unbranded omnia7 and found a little error on mobiletechworld guide using it

so here's step by step for my case: samsung gt-i8700 and wind ITA carrier with windows7 home premium x64

phone version:

PDA: I8700XXKI2

PHONE: I8700XXKI1

CSC: I8700ITVKI2

1:dial ##634# and press call to enable diagnosis menu

2: in diagnosis menu dial*#7284# and select the middle option: Modem, Tethered Call, and reboot phone as asked

3: Download and install http://www.multiupload.com/GH391NDSY1 and don't mind the Verizon branding on install wizard

4: connect the phone with usb cable to the laptop and wait for driver install, and check in device manager; you should see Samsung mobile modem

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

you could also double click and go in properties --> diagnostics --> and press query modem to se if replies correctly

5: now go to http://www.2shared.com/file/_Ty7WFZ7/WINDEasyConnect_20100111.html and download wind easy connect and install; be sure to not select any drivers during installation

6:wind easy connect then will detect the omnia7 and asks if he should use it, say yes and voilà, you can now use the auto-configurable dialer to connect with omnia7 and surf happily :D

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

be sure to check if you have a data plan that permits the use of cell phone as a modem(i asked call center) i'm not responsible if you don't check and have then to pay a lot of phone bill

and remember that omnia7 is not officially supported by wind ita

sorry for my bad english :)

Just received the update. Developer unlocked, unbranded Omnia 7. No internet tethering :-?? I don't see any improvements either.

i noticed that battery now lasts longer, and phone seems smoother and quicker, not bad!!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] hisokajp:
Hey, I tried the above after striking out with my Omnia 7 and "adding a dial up" connection since GiffGaff only provide "giffgaff.com" as their APN connection point and no phone number...

After finding the software, I got the below error message:

I am guessing it's because the software only allow connection through the provider own phone/SIM? Is there another way to get tethering on my Omnia 7 since my carrier isn't pushing the update but allow tethering on other phones? (No flashing with other ROM if possible and my phone isn't dev unlocked).

thanks!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] DJBlaster-303:
yes you are right, unfortunately the connection manager is only for my carrier and it's meant for use with usb internet dongles

You could try to call your carrier support and ask if they help you in some way

or you could create a connection with windows 7 but you can't specify apn,

before i had the idea to try that connection manager I succesfully connected with windows 7 dialup just specifying *99# as number but had some warning messages in the browser about connection

not configured correctly

good luck
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] DJBlaster-303:
I confirm that this thing still works after 8107 regular update
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ghepardo:
Sorry but this is not internet sharing, it is just using the phone as a modem, and then it could happen that your carrier charges you because it detects this kind of call.

Internet sharing is having the phone connected to the internet and share this connection with your pc (teethering).
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] DJBlaster-303:
I said it's a different method via usb cable... what's the prob :confused:

no additional charges by the carrier (I asked them), and you can surf the internet with your computer, that's what you want to do, isn't it??? :D
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ghepardo:
sorry, I was not blaming you at all.unfortunately in my is, I have wind Italy, when I use this method a webpage from my carrier comes out asking me to activate a special data plan, even if I have already one for my phone.

If I use the sim on an android phone,I can share internet without problems.

Any suggestion?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] DJBlaster-303:
what data plan you have?? Post also a screenshot of the webpage, please

[Epic 4G General] Migital Warfare:
I've tried just about everything I can think of to get wifi working on my phone, and I just can't get it to be reliable. I turn on wifi, it "turns on", but doesn't do anything at all (and sometimes will ask to force quit). I turn it off, and on again, and this time it finds networks, but does nothing other than searches for networks. I turn it off, and on again, and this time it connects, but then drops a full signal network in a matter of minutes.

The extent that I've gone to sort this out is re-downloading the 10/22 release (I've done this twice now), flash the new download (3 times over just to make damn sure it's in there), and checked wifi before applying anything else. No matter what I do, I can't get it to stay connected for more than a few minutes, and I can only after going through the entire process above.

Is there some fix that the search function of this site can't seem to find for me?

By the way, wifi has worked perfectly fine on other ROMs, and I've flashed back to stock to make sure during this whole process. There's nothing wrong with the hardware.

CM 7 thread for the Epic

I haven't used this rom, so I can't be of much help other than sharing the above from the OP of that thread.
[Epic 4G General] chrisott9628:
Which modem are you using with it? I had CM7 installed a couple of weeks ago with the EH17 modem and wifi worked fairly well. I'm by no means an expert on this stuff though so maybe the modem doesn't even have anything to do with the issue.
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
Nikon is right on the money. Be sure to carefully read the OP notes to any ROMs you try out, especially if they are test builds, alphas, betas, RCs, etc. Pay special attention to the "Changelog" and "Buglist" sections,

especially

when you're having issues.

The WiFi instability is a very well known bug and not only is it listed in the Buglist of the CM7 OP, it's discussed and brought up repeatedly in the CM7 Topic. Currently there are no perfect fixes or workarounds, though some people say that it stabilizes if you go into the [Advanced] menu and set the Sleep Policy to "Never." As a user of CM7, I haven't found anything to work particularly well, you just have to repeatedly toggle it on/off/on/off until it temporarily stabilizes.

Decad3nce recently posted about some WiFi updates they've made, but I'm not sure if it fixes the majority of the stability issues or not.

Read the CM7 thread, or at least check the OP every so often! You'll stay much better informed.

EDIT: While the modem may be related, that is not the root of the issue. Many folks have tried different modems and there are still WiFi issues. If a certain modem cured the problem we would have heard of it by now.
[Epic 4G General] kobby2k6:
my wifi is pretty stable on cm7 and i have been running the rom from three works...i always turn on the wifi from wifi settings (not the powerwidgets or status bar, it seems to scan forever when you do that)..and also turn it from the wifi settings..and it works flawlessly for me when i need it (i used it from some videos for an hour or so and it didn't drop once)..

p.s. settings>wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings (not Wi-fi) and turn it on from there..
