I live in nyc and the coverage seems good. I can't get a sprint signal in my apt but my friend has 5 bars with tmobile. Also 4G on sprint is an absolute joke since I barely get to use it and when on the battery drains. With tmobile I will be able to save at least $40 a month and that's a lot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hazard99:
I bought this phone after having played with both the amaze and the sgs2 . I was stuck on the amaze. But i decided to go with the sgs2 because i felt sense would kill off the need for some of my widgets.

By this phone root and rom it . Done !!!!!??

mkv is my favorites video format and it'ssupported by default even in the stock ROM

Along with DIVX, AVI among others
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
This^

I use handbrake to encode dvd to mkv. Movies look stunning on this using that encoding software and mkv format. Even with dice player and other so called mkv apps, my sensation didn't look this good.

I would definitely recommend it if your headed to T-Mobile. Minor issues with the screen but they are definitely not notable unless I'm using the phone in the dark, and for me the graininess is preferable to the bleed through on the Amaze. Other than that the phone has Web perfect. Fast, smooth and bright!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] snowglyder:
I just upgraded from the Vibrant and got the gs2 yesterday. I love this phone. I have to say I did notice the screen lines and discoloration when I was reading at night with the brightness set at auto. During the day it's fine. I was set on waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to come for tmo, but there still hasn't been an announcement and besides the 720p and ics, the gs2 seems to beat it specs wise.

I switched from Sprint a few months ago because of lack of 4G and diminishing 3G speeds (200k). I was pulling 5mbps on the vibrant and now I'm getting 11-15mbps consistently with the gs2. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rasstar:
I got the galaxy s II and the Amaze for the other line. I feel the Amaze has a much better quality screen and although smaller you can see more of a webpage with it. The galaxy s has some huge text and looks like it is zoomed in. The screen also looks bluish.

The t-mobile service is so far much better than I had with sprint. I can all bars in my home unlike sprint where I got none and the network is so much faster. My bill is also cut b $40.00 or more so I couldn't be happier.

I didn't realize the galaxy has no notification light unlike the amaze and the dedicated camera buttons would have been nice. I wonder if i can return it for an exchange?

Edit. Exchanged it for the HTC Amaze. Much happier with this phone with the notification light, dedicated camera buttons and the screen looks much better. Thanks for the help.

TGP vs. SGP vs. Otterbox Impact

I couldn't get any good pics of black cases.

Cutouts for speaker/mic/etc.

They were all perfect, except the SGP's speaker cutout was a little on the small side. Though it did not affect how loud my speaker got.

The SGP also cuts out part of one of the shoulders to ensure GPS connection is not effected (my assumption).

SGP had better packaging and comes with a screen protector that gets decent reviews:

SGP $22 and buy it here:

SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Ultra Capsule Series - GALAXY S2 - Samsung - Cell Phones

TPU $9 and buy it here:

Login : TPU-CASES.COM, - All TPU Cases Shipped Free in the USA

Both arrived within 3-4 days.

I'm really digging the SGP. It just looks like an extremely well made case. It's hardly there. It fits the shape of the phone and is waaay less bulky than the Impact, which really wasn't bad. If I can get over the sparkles and my buddies don't revoke my man-card, then I'm keeping it!!!

The TGP would have been awesome if I didn't get the SGP also. Both are great cases.

The Impact has a purpose but I didn't like it all that much.

Nice review thanks.

Which case is thinner, SGP or TPU?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
TPU is thinner by a small margin.

Both are about the same weight.

Put the two of them together and you'll find they are similar in weight to a single Impact.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] discothan:
I just wanted to add that the TPU/Diztronic case does come in a matte black. Its better at fighting against fingerprints than the gloss.

For under $10 before shipping, its tough to not get one!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atrixn00b:
Hey guys. My Wi-Fi doesn't work on my phone and it just says error and my phone crashes and restarts. The last time I ever used it was when I used the hotspots feature but now it doesn't work I've flashed different kernels and Rome and made sure I wiped everything (data,delvik cache and partition cache and still nothing I was on alien#4 with faux123 enhanced 1ghz kernel and that seemed to work fine. Butitd be cool if someone could help me on this. It's not that big of a deal but its nice to have a faster interwebz haha thanks in advance if anyone's able to help me out. I'm on bell carrier an on cynanogen mod and faux123 1.45 kernel atm
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maulich:
try not using the faux 1.45 kernel and try the stock cm7 one maybe....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atrixn00b:
I did and that didn't work. Like the kernel that cm7 comes with? It still showed error so i tried the 1.30 ghz and got into a bootloop then 1.45ghz and my phone occasionally shuts off which I think that's the reason but i have it uc'd to 800 mhz...if it isn't one thing it's another with this phone lol
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwlanky:
Ive got a simlar problem with wifi disconnecting. ive tried cm7 stable and nigthlies im too using faux123 1.45, but just downgraded to 1.0 and still no luck :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickriego:
mine also..tried every current cm release as well as every kernal..literally..i dont know wut to try now but i need it working!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Start over doing a complete wipe as follows:

reboot to recovery

wipe dalvik

wipe cache

reboot to fastboot

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot (to recovery)

flash ROM

wipe cache

reboot

Make sure you wait and give the phone time to boot into the OS properly. Many problems are caused by thinking you have waited too long and pulling the battery before the initial boot is complete. (This can take 10-15 minutes). After the phone has booted to the OS let it sit for 10 minutes to build system files, then reboot again.

Sometimes you just have to go back to the beginning and do it all over.

Just unroot after you are happy with your 'tweaks'. I unrooted after making updates to add Google Apps, Market fix, and other apps requiring SU to install.

If no active Auto APN use of this method:

1-with root explorer delete file (/system/etc/customer/apns-conf.xml or /system/etc/apns-conf.xml) (If exist)

2-connect device with usb charge only (adb previously installed please)

3-down this and extract rar file and run install.bat

u change it to friend now yea...hehehe :D:D:D

NWY, tried this but its not working for me,

can't find folder (sytem/etc/customer)..

so just skip it n proced with install.bat,check setting still no apn,

found out,apns-conf.xml was push to (system/etc/apns-conf.xml),then i delete system/etc/apns-conf.xml n reinstall it again,but still nothing on apn..

something wrong with i did??:confused::confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] essi_baba:
install

If you only do :

1-with root explorer delete file (/system/etc/customer/apns-conf.xml or /system/etc/apns-conf.xml) (If exist)

2-connect device with usb charge only (adb previously installed please)

3-down this and extract rar file and run install.bat

4-on settings > wireless & networks >mobile network >access Point Name > press menu key and press reset to default

5-enjoy
[HD2 Android NAND Development] oroo708:
done it but still nothing..

is it my rom or what??i'm using NDT ginger..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ayyu3m:
Works for me. Thankx.

One more thing. If you actually have root explorer, there is no need to use adb commands. Just replace the apns-conf.xml file in /system/etc/ and reset permissions as rw-r-r and reboot device.

Once rebooted, go to APN and press menu, then press Reset APN to default. Worked for me.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cbernardo13:
I think once you get used to it, you'll really like it. I love this rom, between this one and Supreme Sense. If I'm in a sense mood, I flash back to Supreme. If I'm in the mood for AOSP, I go with Xplod.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] db56319:
Yeah I just need to figure out the Timescape thing. I like the clean look to it and I am going to run this for a few days to give it a true test drive. Do you have any tips or tricks for this ROM? They would be appreciated :)

#19:

does it have any bug?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cbernardo13:
We're still working on the Timescape widget. It is not flawless yet. What you gotta do is select the first option on the widget, then actually going into the options by selecting the middle icon, then choosing which feature you want displayed, i.e. Facebook, Gmail, etc. Then i'd suggest going in to the system tuner app and tweak it that way. We're still trying to work out the flaws and increase the response. We're still in alpha build, so just hang with us while we work everything out. I'll keep everyone posted with updates. But in the meantime, enjoy, and let me know what you think.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

I'm glad you like it YoungCorruption. I really think its an excellent alternative to our aosp roms that we're used to. Hope you enjoy, and we should be posting some updates real soon.

Very few. Again, this is still the alpha build, so we're working on getting all the kinks out. I've made a mental note of what needs to be fixed, and I will start posting them, but please let us know. So far, I know about the timescape widget, and the little lag it has.

This rom isn't posted on Rom manager, And i don't recommend using that to flash any rom as it does not wipe properly.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] -somebody-:
i know this, i was replying to the person above me. i dont flash through ROM Manager myself, id rather wipe my files myself before flashing something. i was just stating that downloads in general DO work for me through ROM Manager.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeatl:
I couldn't resist so I went ahead and flashed this one. At first it was a little rough and was acting a bit sluggish but I guess it just needed a little time to get used to my phone. It's pretty smooth for an alpha now and all the new stuff takes a bit of getting used to. Looking forward to some 3d implemented in this rom as i see some compiz-like animation going on.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] notsointeresting:
I (personally) don't think they will add any "3D" into this rom. I believe there using software from Sony Erricson android devices. So unless Sony magically updates there software with some super cool 3d animations and they decide to use it, Team-Nocturnal probably isn't going to take a huge amount of time and code it in there.

All my opinion though, they could put some amazing animations and UI tweaks and make me look like a dumbass lol.

Great ROM anyway really enjoying everything. Great job guys
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cbernardo13:
In agreement to Notsointeresting, though this is an amazing rom, we will not adding any 3d animations. He is correct, this is a port from 3 different sony roms. We are working on a few tweaks to get everything working, and to speed up the responsiveness. Also, more to come from Team Nocturnal. Glad everyone is enjoying
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I don't think it was pointed out but the torch only works when i put it on high brightness but that's not a big deal for me, thought i'd just throw it out there :)

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cbernardo13:
I wish I could. I'm sorry. Like -somebody- said, the person who gave it to me was nice enough to let me try it out. I'm hoping that I will be able to provide something comparable in the next build or at least a flashable one. Sorry
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeatl:
All good. Did you guys try scary stable and suv?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cbernardo13:
