Run with this one. You need to Flash with RSDLite. Put your phone in RSD mode and connect to your computer after you've installed run RSDlite. Choose the sbf file that you've unzipped from the download and begin flasing it. Make sure you are fully charged and have the usb in the back of the computer. This'll put you on 45.3.7!

Best,

Or, despite the lower pixel density, some people actually think the GNex has a better screen.

[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
does it really?..jeez, i thought it would have been a lil better than the qHD...but i guess not!!!
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
Doesn't the Galaxy S II have a better screen?

Galaxy S II

= Super AMOLED Plus

Galaxy Nexus

= Super AMOLED .... No "Plus".

Hmmm...
[HTC Rezound] TheKenAnthony:
Thought galaxy nexus had super amoled hd..??
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
That's cool. People can totally have preferences. I love both, i've seen both. To say one is factually better is ridiculous though. I hate blanket statements like "betters it," especially when on paper, it doesn't.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
Apparently, "HD" - yes... Although thanks to the upgraded RES/DPI, they had to downgrade from the Plus' "Real Stripe" RGB display back to Pentile.

The next generation phones, after the Galaxy Nexus will then have a true upgrade to Super AMOLED HD Plus which will maintain the high RES/DPI as well a have RGB support again.

Ohh ohh! Don't forget the blue tinge! Also don't forget the banding, the grainy look, the pixelation and the whites that look like plaque/fabric yellow!
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
hahaha yes!

I think we need a list of things that we can make factual comparisons.. you know, take the opinions out. you cant debate facts, they are what they are.

does the screen have banding - yes - fact

is the screen pixelated - yes - fact

s there a grainy look - I think this is an opinion

Whites look yellow - yes - Fact

We need more True/False things to use for comparisons

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Aldieri:
I've been trying to get Droidcam (and other apps like it to work) but it seems that my phone is "invisible" on my wifi... I can't ping my phone from my computer it says host isn't available, even though I'm successfully connected to my wifi..

Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Though this is not a long-term fix, you can test whether pinging helps by opening adb shell (if you have the Android SDK installed) and issuing this command:

echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all

That will allow pings. That probably gets reset at reboot, though, so if you want to fix it long term I would have to look into where that gets set up or you'd have to put it in a startup script.

I rebooted my phone after doing this and it seems the setting stayed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cogit0:
Hi all!

Just got my Skyrocket (almost say skyrim every damn time :P), and it's been okay so far, aside from having to do a factory reset to fix battery issues.

I would like to unlock this phone so I can use pre-paid SIM cards while traveling in Europe over the next few weeks. I've been hearing that the ZergRush root mod works great, but have been hearing mixed responses from people that have tried various SIM unlocking mechanisms.

Calling AT&T a few times, they have said that this phone cannot be unlocked until July 2012 due to carrier restrictions.

Any ideas on how to get around this? Or should I go to the store and swap this phone for the SGS2 non-skyrocket, just so I can use it abroad?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Semseddin:
Zergrush's is just root method to get S2 unlock tool working for the S2 international i9100 variant. I think you'll have to buy from online sellers. The question is what is the cheapest price for the i727 unlock code ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] planoman:
I used cellunlocker.net

to unlock my Skyrocket. Took a few hours and cost 28. I tested it with a tmobile sim and it works on 2G and voice just fine.

I've had mine for about a week now (came from and EVO) I have no complaints whats so ever........... Your mileage may vary.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mship:
Its a good device coming from the Evo. Its has a few issues like the Loss of service, but I did experience that until I rooted the device so I dont blame it on the phone.

The one problem that I do have is that it wont play most games for more than 10 to 15 minutes. But I use it for reading more than anything else and sprint and samsung are suppose to be releasing a patch next month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I would say stop calling it the SGS2 (which, I know, it is) and get used to ET4G. If for nothing else than to know that if something is labeled SGS2 that you should. not. flash. it.

As far as QWERTY goes? Pffft. I was so worried when I got my Evo that I was going to miss QWERTY. I didn't have the Hero long enough to get used to it, then I got the Moment and got used to it (that keyboard sucked anway)....but the transition took, oh, a week or two. That was a year and a half ago and I've never regretted ditching the real keyboard. There are hundreds of 'em. Find one you like. I go back and forth between Swype and SwiftkeyX and can haul major ass on both....especially Swype. SwiftKeyX is totally worth whatever it costs. If you let it read your texts, emails and Facebook posts it's prediction is simply amazing. You barely even have to try being precise.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Marcthegeek:
I got it last Tuesday and love the phone and size. Im using the "Go Launcher" and LOVE IT, amazing how easily it is to make your beautiful looking and functional. The only problem Im having is LOS. And battery life is not that good either but , what can you expect from a dual Core phone with a big ass screen. You can tweak it with SetCpu. But Im still trying to find the best configuration so i can have a optimal battery life.

But i must say the phone is amazing and also it also lets you uninstall a lot of the preloaded apps without rooting, something other phones and carriers wont permit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crazy_dragonlady:
I am also getting this phone... just ordered it tonight.. should be here no later than Wed!

I've had it for about 4 days now. I was skeptical about the los issues. Its been smooth sailing though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mship:
If you are coming from the Moment you will love this device. I had the moment for 6 months but I had to get rid of it because I hated it. I went to the and loved that until my charger port broke. Got this as a replacement. This is better than the Evo, considering the screen is excellent. Also it is so much lighter and thinner than the Evo and Touchwiz is not as bad as people make it out to be.

The only problem with it that I have had is the sound bug which causes some games to just quit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monotune:
thank you, I was not aware of this thread

thanks :)

well, to be honest. I am pretty used to Sprint's loss of service lately. as sad as that is to say :/

I hate the fact that the phone is technically the GS2 ET4G, like... wtf? why so many names? lol. and I am very much against flashing my phones. I've had nothing but bad experiences with it. so I will not be doing it to my new phone. thanks for the info :D

but just because you can go landscape mode, doesn't mean it's the same as a full qwerty :(

did they tell you how soon you would have to replace the battery? b/c when I got my Epic 4G, they said about after a year I should get a new battery. J/W, thanks :)

welcome to XDA! :D

also, please come back when you get the phone and let us know, k? :)

I hope you're right, lol :P

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
I'm selling my epic if any of you are interested.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rmgill:
Here's a little devil's advocate.

I bought the ET4G on a whim after seeing it on Craigslist for an attractive price. After using it for a week, it's going back on Craigslist and I am using my OG Epic again w/ the new Gingerbread release (and physical keyboard fixes!).

While the ET4G certainly offers a snappier Android experience and a better camera than the OG Epic, I didn't find the boost in speed or extra screen real estate to be worth the $325 I paid for the device. I think the only speed boost worth writing home about was the speed of the ET4G's stock browser. Lastly, the audio quality of SGSII is inferior to SGSI and in all honesty not worthy of a high end smartphone - this was the deal breaker for me.

Considering that you already have the OG Epic, I'd wait until the middle of next year so you can get a killer future-proof 720p LTE phone at a fully discounted price. All that said, the ET4G is still a great device!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monotune:
well my GS2 is here and I really like it. but I do miss my keyboard

and I have 2 lines, so I can still always wait lol

ps. is it just my phone or does the homescreen not rotate? :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] InkPouchMan:
That's one reason I haven't taken the plunge (though I tried once, and the guy at the store said he couldn't mess with my plan). When I played with it at the store, it wouldn't rotate. Meanwhile, some of the apps (especially the camera app) would go landscape and not go back. Anyone else have that problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have a very slight lag (probably intentional) when I rotate the phone when using camera but I have never had it stick.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:
Hey everyone!

Ok so heres the issue im in...i bought an htc to repair. the guy said the issue is he couldnt get it to turn on it turned on fine with me, but the touch wasnt working. Bootloader said Touchpanel- Fail. so i assumed this means its an LCD or digitizer problem! well i ended up getting another horrible HTC Evo, but one with a motherboard that works, just with broken usb. anyway, when i did this switch, surprisingly enough it worked, the touch was excellent, all ran perfectly!

So i guess the issue was neither LCD nor digitizer, so now it brings up a seperate question; software issue or motherboard issue?

if software i hold out hope that somehow id be able to fix it, expect the phone isnt rooted, so its with s-on and i cant so much as unlock the screen, and there is no custom recovery.

if motherboard, just let me know so i can give up.

Any and all help and advice appreciated!

Thanks!

but see even ruus don't work, it errors out and says to get the right ruu, and on phone it says main is older....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riz3n:
It could be a bad motherboard it also could have been that the flex cables coming from the TSP/LCD were not fully connected, that being the issue you could see touch screen failure or a black screen when the device comes on. But from the sounds of it I think it might be bad software. Even though you've probably already thought about this I would suggest trying to do a full wipe and hard reset it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:

alright so i figured that part out thanks, i wiped and...nothing different...is it possible to flash an older update.zip or something to try and fix it? cause this just does factory restore, but if the drivers are messed up or something, restore wont do, reflash is needed...if i understand correctly..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riz3n:
Yes you can try and flash a different update zip from the recovery just put it in on your SD card and then apply update from zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:

I have a samsung epic. I got the prompt to update GB. I've read that I have to unroot my epic first and I tried to get the guy that rooted it to unroot it and he wont (we no longer work together). So the stupid update thing popped up and I accidentally hit the thing for it to install thinking I actually ignored it.

My phone shut down and came on with this:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0

-reboot system now

-apply sdcard:update.zip

-wipe data/factory seset

-wipe cache partition

-install zip from sdcard

-backup and restore

-mounts and storage

-advanced

-+++++Go Back+++++

What do I do?!?! I'd like to unroot and go back to the standard so I can update to GB as I don't do the things that I would need a rooted phone for. The guy did it trying to get the hotspot to work w/o me having to pay for it, but we never got it to work. All in all I at least want my phone to work. I've searched the forums, but my ignorance renders me helpless!

I'm just trying to get back do a working machine. I've successfully done Paul's procedure before. I've also successfully reverted back to Gingerbread. I made the mistake of trying to do the HC method using PG41IMG -- I should have left well enough alone. Actually I don't think it can be MDSUM since it is the same error when I used the full HC zip or when I tried the recovery rom.zip.

For some reason 7zip won't give me checksum, I'll need to find another method. Probably go to linux and do it.
