[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEDGENINJAX:
To get Instagram (iPhone app) on my SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anisbombaywala:
According to a comment on MakeUseOf.com:

In general iPhone Apps will not work on anything but iOS.

If you developed the App yourself [and have the Source Code] it depends on the tools you have used.

If you used Xcode all the way the App would be in Objective-C [which is hardly supported outside the Apple world] with Cocoa APIs [which are Apple only].

This means you would have to re-write the entire App.

If you used some other base (Java, C++) and some porting platform there might be a chance that there are tools to port it to other mobile platforms as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
i think the answer the OP is looking for is a yes or no :p

as far as im aware its not available on android yet. Cant recommend an alternative as i dont really know what instagram does.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Bought a locked Motorola Atrix 2 on ebay. Unlocked the phone and got the unlock sucessful screen. No when i boot the phone, it directly goes into the emergency dialer screen. I can`t even go into the android setup screen. Is there a hard reset option for the Atrix 2?
[Motorola Atrix 2] halfevildruid:
You mean sim unlock?????

Hold both ends of volume rocker and power to get your menu with recovery as an option.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Yes, it`s SIM unlocked. Did the hard reset on the phone. Still it goes directly into the emergency dialer screen. I can`t even go into the home screen. Has the seller sent me a IMEI blocked phone?
[Motorola Atrix 2] athris:
when u saw the green android screen, press vol up/down together then u should be able to see the recovery option.
[Motorola Atrix 2] halfevildruid:
Dont have an answer for that. It seems i read somewhere att wouldnt allow any unlocking until spring 2012 but who knows. Who are you trying to use the phone with?
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
I am trying to use it in India. My service provider is called Airtel. It`s a GSM network.

Even without the sim card, It goes into the dialer screen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] halfevildruid:
With your airtel sim in it should prompt you for the subsidy code or unlock code. If it isnt working you may not have the correct code.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
It did not prompt me. I had to type #073887* to get the unlocking screen. I did enter a code bought off ebay. It did say unlock sucessful. But, instead of rebooting it seems to be stuck in the dialer screen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athris:
what about get into recovery mode and do a factory reset?
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Have done a hard reset. Still it goes into the emergency dialer screen even without the SIM card
[Motorola Atrix 2] kojitabe:
Mine is sim unlock and i can use any simcard here in my country,has no problem with phone,but i'm affraid to do hard reset that it will lock again the simcard.

I'm from Indonesia.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
But, i have not loaded the SIM card. Still it would not boot into the android screen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athris:
did u try to put the sim card in it?

(factory reset wont lock the sim card again, once ur phone is unlocked)
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Tried with and without the SIM card. It does go into the Android home screen for a flash and then is stuck on the Emergency dialer screen.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dilwaala:
Hmmm that's interesting. I recently moved over to an Atrix 2. My old Atrix 4g was unlocked as well and I went back to it yesterday and it's behaving exactly the way your Atrix 2 is behaving. On the Emergency Screen with or without a SIM card.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Sorted the problem. Turns out, i was using a 32bit sim card. Thanks for all the replies.
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:
came here to say that, although dont you mean 32k?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimiyarb:
Unlock code

I tried to get the NCK code from AT&T today and they also told me it can't be unlocked until after June of next year. Where did you get your code? :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
What's that all about? I'm courrently looking for an Atrix 2, do I need to pay attention to this? If yes how do I find out whether my SIM card is compatible or not...?
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Sorry for the typo. Meant to say 32K.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Got it off ebay. Look for a seller called unlock_fusion. Cost $16 and got it in about 2-3 working days.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Clarification. Turns out the SIM originally used was not 3G compatible. Got a 3G compatible SIM and phone works ok.
[Motorola Atrix 2] benlaohu:
I have the same problem. It seems I must change to another operator with 3G wireless.. What a pity.

I wonder if there is any limitation on at&t atrix 2 to lock the 2G wireless sim card?
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Some SIM cards do not work on my Atrix 2. Is that a problem with the SIM slot? The same SIM card works on my friend`s Atrix 2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] benlaohu:
After got the Atrix 2, I have changed three SIM card from my operator. The last one works for me but not stable, always show message "No SIM Card".. After reboot sometimes it works again..

The same SIM card can work perfect on my Milestone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Sounds to me like some old sim cards. This phone def needs the newer HSPA+ cards whether you live in a area that supports it or not. I had 2 older sim cards and neither would work in mine as well. Went to AT&T and got a new one and have yet to have another problem.
[Motorola Atrix 2] benlaohu:
I don't think so... now with my sim card the notification bar shows "4G". But still the phone always show me the No SIM card information or Invalid SIM card. What I can do is to reboot after the message appear..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
What is your carrier? If you order the phone from AT&T it will ship with a new sim card that you can bring to an AT&T store to copy over contacts from the old simcard. I had this happen to me when I went to the Philippines with my unlocked nokia. I popped the Sim card and it says invalid sim card. I tried another simcard from another company and it worked fine.
[Motorola Atrix 2] slightee:
Only works with certain cards. Popped in a brand new Vodafone 3G card. No go. Works with Airtel 3G cards though. Can`t really isolate the problem.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
So I've been thinking about purchasing a fascinate to use for a while, I want to get the galaxy nexus (like everyone else and their brother) but I'm likely gonna just wait until my upgrade is available in July. I currently have the droid incredible, which I do love, but the fascinate appeals to me due to the hardware (GPU, DAC, SAMOLED) and, possibly, development (part of why I'm here to ask your guys' help/opinions).

I use MIUI currently and would pretty much need to have it on whichever is my next device. I see you guys have MIUI builds and from what I can tell, they are pretty bug-free. Curious to hear if there are any issues that I should know about?

I've heard reports of GPS issues with the fascinate, how is it working for you guys on AOSP roms?

Obviously hacking/modding a Samsung is different than what I'm used to with HTC, but am I correct in assuming that you guys have a lot of options when it comes to tweaking kernels, etc? I guess I'm thinking of things like voodoo sound, and display calibration (things you can't do with HTC phones) but I need to do more reading to figure out what they do and how the work on this device...

I see a lot of references to odin and kies. Are either (or both) necessary for rooting and flashing roms, and are they mac compatible? (Researching this now, google should be able to help me with this)

Since the fascinate's hardware shares similarities with the galaxy nexus, it looks like you guys have one of the most functional ICS roms currently available. With ICS source being released and the similarity to the nexus, do you guys think development will continue to flourish on the fascinate? (At least for another 6-8 months)

Finally, looking around on ebay, it looks like a used fascinate can be had for around $90-$120, does that seem like a fair price?

Thanks in advance for any help, I look forward to hearing your insights and opinions! :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Im currently running ics v3 on my fassy and I cant see upgrading my device for a long time. Development is still going fairly strong, people here are very helpful for the most part. I would say its definately worth getting a fascinate if you can score one for a 100 bucks. We also have the most lulz than any other section on xda. I know odin wont work with mac, so I cant help you there...but there are a few threads around here with folks using macs with the fassy. Take some time and read up a bit more...can already tell you have done some lurking. Hope to see ya around here more if you end up getting a i500.o

*oh and gps works really well now with some of the latest rom/kenel combos. On cm7 nighlty 112 w/ glitch kenel I was getting a lock in 10sec & 5ft accuracy. Ics v3 is not quite that good but close.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynet11:
I can't speak to the price, but the development here is excellent despite the phone's age. We have an excellent selection of both TouchWiz-based ROMs and AOSP MTD ROMs. As for kernels, we have at least 3 in each category between here in XDA and Rootzwiki (many of the AOSP ROMs and kernels can also be downloaded from ROM Manager if you don't want to go to Rootzwiki.

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Thanks and thanks!

I feel like I'm probably a little spoiled already since the dev support behind the incredible is pretty strong, but from what I've seen, there's a lot of active development going on here too. Also, most of the activity in the inc dev section is related to sense roms, which I couldn't be less interested in anyway.

The big thing for me is the ICS development going forward, I just see a lot more happening with the fascinate as opposed to the incredible. Basically, us incredible users aren't going to get a fully functional ICS build until a similar HTC device gets upgraded or Qualcomm updates the drivers for our old hardware (probably not gonna happen). I am skeptical as to how quickly HTC will be upgrading their devices to 4.0, and even when that does happen, it will only be newer models meaning, our devs will have to do some driver/EGL hacking and backporting to get HW acceleration working (as I understand, at least). So bottom line, it's just not looking that great for ICS on the incredible, at least for a while, but since the fascinate's GPU is the same as the galaxy nexus', you already have HW accelerated ICS, which is amazing!

I do have some other things I'm curious about with the fascinate, more so hacking Samsungs in general, but I'm pretty sure some searching should yield results, I don't wanna be asking things that have already been gone over! Thanks again, and I'd love to hear more input/opinions/advice, or if anyone could point me in the direction of some good rooting/ROM FAQs. I've looked around here but some of the stickies are either old or have broken links, still gotta check out the fascinate section at rootz though.

EDIT: droidstyle - just saw your guide over at rootzwiki, awesome.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:

Welcome :D

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
and a hearty welcome to you good sir. Seriously I would say that that this is one of the easiest devices to get up and running on custom goodies.

ODIN is absolutlely indespensible and a necessity along with updated Samsung drivers. After that all you need to do is ODIN the appropriate CWM Recovery and flash your Rom of choice :D

Of course read up first so get the right stuff downloaded but that is the gist of it, couldn't get much simpler lol

"I didn't say that...my Fascinate has a tiny troll inside it."
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Hey, thanks guys! Really looking forward to getting my feet wet in the Samsung realm. I'm not seeing many options as far as running Odin on mac (aside from running in a VM, which can be wonky), but fortunately I have access to a windows machine. I'll probably be using the guide droidstyle put up on root wiki for rooting and flashing my first couple rooms, but if anyone is aware of some other good guides, I'd love to check em out.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
Heimdall is an open source alternative to odin. Its available in osx, linux, and windows. I personally prefer it.sure to its greater granularity.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
This device is one of the hardest devices to brick also. Odin usually fixes all.. And if you're smoking crack while flashing and find that you have tried to flash ios or wp7 while in your mind jelly state. The fascinate has the unbrickable mod. But really unless your flashing roms for other devices or force feeding it pastrami sandwiches through the battery cover you won't need it
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Haha, that's good to head since I do like to spark myself up a crack rock whilst flashing rooms :) But really, I'm pretty good with fully reading and following directions so I've never been too worried about a brick but it's nice to know that the phone is resilient like that.

I'm gonna have to do some research on this heimdall tool, sounds like that could be what I need if I don't wanna mess around with drivers and windows nonsense.

Also, it looks like I was wrong about the incredible and ICS, our devs are working on getting HW acceleration fully working as we speak. Oh well, I already ordered the fassy still has some distinct advantages like the DAC, GPU, and screen, things that simply can't be improved on the incredible with software. Only thing I'm a little worried about is the GPS issues that seem to be more hardware related with the galaxy s phones, I'll just have to see how it goes.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enyo.:
You will really like it from the incredible. So much of an upgrade. Its like a mini galaxy nexus (get it?) And its gpu is, however, pleasing.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
As far as i can see GPS is only an issue with TouchWiz based Roms, and even then there are "fixes" in place that improve performance.

I've never had an issue on any of the AOSP Roms. Thr first cold lock takes time but after that it is fine. You can also grab an app from the market called GPSAids, it is made specifically for Galaxy S devices and if nothing else is a good way to check satalites in view/in use and such.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I feel like it's sort of a galaxy nexus "lite", which sounds intriguing to me. I'd definitely like to spend a little time with a Samsung device before upgrading to the nexus later on, I'm looking forward to it!

Thank you, that is good to know as I don't plan on running anything but AOSP roms anyway. It's just an issue I've seen brought up in multiple reviews, but since they're reviewing stock software, that would make sense.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
Yes. Jt1134 "changed permissions" for the gps. aosp gps locks in seconds while indoors now..

Can't believe Samsung fails so bad at coding. But hey they keep making bleeding edge phones, and jt1134 keeps buying Samsung. Then Samsung is the only phones I'll be using. Thanks jt

I agree that Jt1134 is doing great thing with this phone, we can't lose with the potential growth that he has already made available.

PS my daughter (almost 16) is ready for ICS and just need the camera to work for it to be perfect, otherwise how can a teenager live without a camera?)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
The camera has been working on Jt's ICS for awhile now.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
My GPS concerns were definitely put to rest after flashing an AOSP rom (MIUI in my case), I'm getting just as good, if not better, GPS performance as I was with my previous device. There are a couple lingering issues: data either going out entirely or being unusably slow, phantom soft button presses, and non-functional BLN.

But all in all, I like this device way more than the incredible, the amount of control you have with voodoo sound/color & voltage control paired with glitch is amazing. And I haven't even gotten around to trying ICS yet!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
Phantom button presses are the norm for this device, I think everyone gets them for the most part. As far as slow data, are you refering to how slow the theme browser is on MIUI or just in general. I know the theme browser is painfully slow but i never had issue with anything else. What modem are you using? On AOSP Roms EC09 seems to be a fan favorite so to speak and has always been the best for me. Also if data drops out toggle airplane mode on then off, should bring it back.

For BLN do you have BLN Control or Blinky installed from the market? It will not work without one of those installed. Blinky is free but I think BLN Control (the paid version) is well worth it since it has more options to fiddle with.

Hope this helps lol

Camera works fine but the video camera has flaws. Also the sending of pics via text. I'm sure they are important to any teen-ager. Lol but I have no doubt jt will have a fix in no time!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsupersonic:
I also am in the same boat - own an Incredible, but just bought a Fascinate to hold me over till my upgrade period. My Incredible is going strong, and the dev. support is great, but it is time for something new. Can't wait to get my phone. I'll probably end up using CM7, as that's what I'm using on the Incredible.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Actually the data issues I experienced weren't with the theme manager, that's always been slow across the devices I've had, but they've been greatly improved with the updated 12.2.11 MIUI build RickS put out yesterday to adress the data issues. Oh and I believe I'm on the EH03 modem by the way, it seems like others have had good things to say about it, but it can't hurt to try something different just to see how it works. As far as phantom presses, yes, I see I'm far from alone but I'm encouraged to see the progress that it looks like is being made by the glitch team, I'm optimistic that they may make some headway on that bug.

For BLN, I've tried BLN control and it does work..for one flash of the button lights, it won't continue to flash past that first initial time. I've still gotta try out blinky to see if I get better results with it. But yeah, thanks for the info and suggestions, and confirming that the issues I've run across are normal.

That's exactly how I felt too, the AOSP roms on the incredible work perfectly and the dev support is good, but I really like the hardware of this phone, and the amount of tweaking you can do with things like voodoo control and voltage control are just awesome. Coming from the incredible I was surprised as to how much smoother things are on my preferred rom (MIUI), I used them side by side on the same exact rom and the fascinate was just buttery in comparison. The display is also another significant upgrade (AMOLED to SAMOLED & 3.7" to 4"), as well as the lighter weight and thinner frame, and side lock switch, which I'm really liking. Oh and the Wolfson DAC, music sounds amazing! Considering I was able to sell my incredible for what I bought the fascinate for, I couldn't really be any happier. Should be enough to tide my over to the galaxy nexus. :)

I had the same problem ages ago, accidentally yanked the cord when flashing back to stock and was met with a rainbow/black pixel screen and after using Gtg's odin encountered the failed factory.fs message.

Try THIS return to stock method instead. Once you get to the thread, find

IMO this method is easier to use and you can flash to a rooted+3e froyo.
