For sure it will have better battery life, edge connectivity uses less battery life, in addition, it won't have to ever switch back and forth.

I thought so... I also noticed speeds are faster on edge when I have full bars which is 80% of the time. Thanks :)

[Thunderbolt General] Asmodeus6:
Is there a way to disable the volume key on the thunderbolt?

I got my hands on one (legitimately) that has had a pretty tough life. Must have been dropped on the volume key. Problem is... it's the down key... so now you get stuck at H-boot on every power up. So I S-off'd it and rooted it. (took many tries) But when I got it to boot via CWM recovery - it boots into safe mode. After poking around a bit - and the volume down key no longer working. (I think it's stuck "down". Or malfunctioning in some way that makes the phone think it's down during boot.)

I'm stuck with a stock phone that I can't even run apps on.

Which is one step further than earlier today when I couldn't get past H-boot.

:p

Now I can ninja my way into it booting via recovery but I can't run a darn thing on it. Everything else seems fine. Aside from the scuffs and bumps.

I completely disassembled the phone to check everything I could. I can't find a cause for the volume key issue. Didn't appear to have a major water damage issue I can see. Although the indicator near the charging port was ever so slightly tinted. So there may have been a moisture issue at some point near the other side of the phone. I plucked at the tiny volume actuator under the buttons - even tried booting the phone out of it's casing to be sure the rocker was not deformed and pressing the key in any way. Same deal, got stuck at H-boot.

I planned on using it as a test mule for roms, and general douchebaggery. But is there a way to disable the physical keys in some way so I can use it? I don't plan on USING it as a phone, just as a toy. So not having a volume down key would be no big deal.

I'd hate to use an otherwise working phone as spare parts. But that's it's not so distant future if I can't get a work around for this volume key thing.

Might try loading a rom on it to see if 'safe mode' is disabled in one of them. I just tried booting my phone with CM7.1 on it with the volume key down and it didn't safe mode me. So maybe I'll load that and see what happens.

Any thoughts?

Not every day you walk into a beater TB for $0.

:D
[Thunderbolt General] Asmodeus6:
Yeah that totally worked. Wiped everything loaded CM7.1 and I have a working phone.

Still no working volume key. Oh well!

Yay!

I just got my S II and when on calls it has a buzzing or static sound during calls at times when the person I am talking to gets louder. I have turned the volume down to almost silent and it still does it. I am using Unnamed ROM, but it did it before the new ROM was loaded. Does anyone know if this is a physical problem with the phone or a software issue, and does anyone know anyway to fix it?

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] faithofgod:
I am using Unnamed v. 1.3.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shadowskorch:
Probably just a hardware issue. I haven't seen similar problems from friends or online. If it was a software problem, it would be patched probably.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] faithofgod:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] faithofgod:
I called AT & T and worked through all their troubleshooting, which included a factory data reset, and nothing worked. So Amazon is sending a replacement phone out. It must be rare, because I could not find other S II owners mentioning this issue before.

Just found out MyPhoneExplorer while searching on net. I think it is an excellet app and hence wanted to share.

It involves installation of client software on phone, search for MyPhoneExplorer in Market. Then download the software from http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php and install. It can be installed as portable version also.

Just open the client side app on phone and start software, set settings to AutoDetect. I connected through WiFi and was able to successfully sync and edit contacts and SMS and sync back to phone. Somehow alarms were not read, doesn't matter.

Just played asphalt 6 and dang it's fun! My phone is running the latest unnamed rom, entropy512's 1212011 kernel @1.2ghz max, wifi on (though looks like juicedefender shut it off during the game, could account for the game crashing) , not plugged in. Game ended up crashing while running the kernel on conservative. Changed it to ondemand and had no issues.

Before starting the game my phone was at 29°c

View attachment 808051

Played one race with the mini cooper. Immediately exited and phone was running at 36°c

View attachment 808055

Not too hot, but a definite jump. As good as the game looks and as smooth as the gameplay is, I'm sure the temperature will need to be watched as with most high end games. I'll report back if I see any temperature spikes.

Update: played 5 races in a row and got warm, but not too warm, 41°c

Final thoughts:

Buy this game!

And xda app gave me two choices for quality on the screenshots I posted but wouldn't let the higher quality one upload. Said incorrect extention.

Mine has been getting hot lately too. I haven't identified any battery drainers as the cause, but when my phone gets down to around 25% batter lice the phone starts to heat up. Like today, I pulled the battery at around 20-30% because it was getting warm, waited about 10min for everything to cool down, put the battery back in and it was down to 3%. Either something we're running is causing this or there are battery issues starting to develop.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] electroau:
Use cpu spy. My phone does the same thing. Occasionally it gets stuck on 1.2 ghz, and really heats up.

Pulling the battery resets it.

I haven't been able to figure out what does it.
[HTC Sensation] javolin13:
So this is probably a big issue with most people is how fast the battery drains.

I'll get right to the point. I swap roms like I change my underwear... every couple of weeks... ( that was a joke...) basically every day. What I've noticed is what happens to my battery after swapping roms it tends to read the battery life incorrect. EVEN after a battery stat wipe.

I charge my phone to 100%. Let it drain until it gives me a battery warning. (which is usually below 15%) then I remove the back cover and just yank the battery ( I know there are risks of doing this but I've done it a TON and never had any issues)

Funny thing is though, right after I pull the battery and then replace and reboot the phone, my 15% battery life left... is now a crazy 25%-30% left!

So android is reading the battery level incorrect. (even after a battery stat wipe)

Anyways after putting the battery back in, i'll charge it to 100%, then use the phone as needed from then on I have NO issue with battery life and it usually lasts me 15+ Hours with moderate to heavy usage IE: games, browsing, music, Facebook, etc.

Let me know if this drastically improves or at least improves your battery AT ALL like it does for me...
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
Pretty common in most 1st posts for rom threads and a general calibration method. Thanks for sharing anyway :)
[HTC Sensation] javolin13:
Well according to the 10+ battery issue threads I highly doubt its "common" for people to actually do it. So for those who are looking for something other than stupid apps that claim to "re-calibrate" your battery, or battery stats which claim to "reset" your battery which in my experience really doesn't solve anything, its just one more thing to add to the "hell, lets see if it'll work" option.

:)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Errrrmm... This is not the fix. Battery reading jumps up after reboot, as reported by hundreds of users (including me) and then depletes rather quickly to real value. :)

I also tried the Samsung app network profile and it only gives me the ATT option. Any other options for me to get this working?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
Hi everyone, in an older thread here I saw that other people were not able to get their bluetooth headset to initiate a voice dial. This feature has worked fine with my old iPhone 3gs and my Plantronics Voyager Pro but when I long-press the headset button when the headset is paired with my skyrocket, nothing happens.

In the previous thread someone mentioned installing voice2go on his skyrocket and getting this voice dial to work? I googled this and all I could find was a really old windows mobile 6.0 application written by that name.

Could someone point me in the right direction for getting voice dialing initiated from bluetooth to work? Thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dxtra:
Go over to original At&t SG2 forum, grab the apk from one of those custom roms there or a system dump.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
I've tried both the old Voice2Go apk and Cyberon Voice Commander from the market. Cyberon is much better for voice dialing from your BT. Voice2Go is reasonably accurate, but does not confirm Before dialing. Cyberon confirms prior to dialing. Me: "Call Joanne at Mobile." Cyberon: "Call Joanne at Mobile, is that correct?". Me: "yes." Cyberon: "Dialing." If you don't care whethor or not you occasionally call the wrong person, Voice2go is great. But for $5, Cyberon Voice Commander is a great app.

I find the Skyrocket to be VERY picky as to the BT headset you use. The Motorola HX550 works very well with the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
So if I get the Cyberon Voice Commander will I be able to initiate a voice dial from the button on my voyager pro or is this a deeper issue with an incompatibility between the stock ROM and my headset? Sorry I'm a complete noob with android I just switched from iPhone 4 days ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
No worries. :D If your Voyager Pro works fine with all other functions, then I would think initiating Voice dialing from it would work fine. The Headsets I've tried didn't work worth a darn period, except for the HX550. The jawbone and the Blueant worked, but the voice confirmations were so quiet in comaparison to conversations, that they were worthless for voice dialing. (You could not hear the confirmation.)

I've not tried a plantronics. I've tried the motorola H17 and HX1, the Bluant Q2 and the Jawbone ERA. The only one I've tried that works worth a darn with the Skyrocket is the Motorola HX550. That works pretty darn well, although occasionally the Skyrocket doesn't re-connect unless I hit the headset button.

It's best to leave Cyberon Voice Commander running, don't kill it with the task manager. The first time you use it after re-boot it can take a couple of trys to get it going. Leave it running and it's fine from then on though.

Just so you know, there is no voice dialing app on the Skyrocket in the stock ROM. You have to add it yourself.

ALSO, there are two Cyberon apps, Voice commander and Voice Speed dial. Voice Speed Dial is one you train, and has no confirmation. Voice Commander does not need to be trained, and confirms before dialing. Voice Commander is worth the extra $2... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Here's the Voice2Go apk if you want it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
Thanks so much Nakel this is greatly appreciated. I'm going to give the voice2go a shot first and if it doesn't work out ill buy the voice commander. Ill be sure to report back here with my findings!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
OK so as was already stated in the previous thread this isn't exactly what I was looking for. AFAIK this is just the Vlingo app you can get for free in the android market.

It's a decent app I guess but you will NOT be able to initiate a voice dial from your bluetooth headset by pushing the normal buttons.

I can't believe in 2011 Samsung omitted this key feature on a 250 dollar flagship phone. Even the original Moto RAZR from 5+ years ago was able to initiate voice dialing from bluetooth headsets.

This is super inconvenient while driving (and not to mention unsafe!) to have to look down at your phone in order to look up a contact and dial their number. Hopefully this post helps someone thinking about buying the SR but needing this feature!

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to thank Nakel again for posting the attachment though. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Yeah, VERY picky. That's the worst thing about the Skyrocket. If I hadn't found a headset I like that worked well with Voice Commander, I would have returned the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
Yeah this sucks though considering I just shelled out nearly 300 bucks (including tax and upgrade fee) and now I have to spend 50+ bucks on a bt headset just to voice dial when I already have a nice one that works just fine....
