1. Go to the dialer and type the following:

*#*#4636#*#*

2. Tap on 'Phone Information'

3. Scroll down.

4. The top box is a drop down menu, it should say 'WCDMA Preferred' right now. Tap on the arrow on the right side of the top box.

5. Select the option you want.

Does anybody know or experienced if an unlocked Skyrocket works on European cell carriers with data and voice?

Our 3g here in Belgium is on 2100 mhz and I seen that the Skyrocket has the 2100 mhz radio, but heard it only works if you have an AT&T sim.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Treatcon:
Got my SkyRocket (AT&T, unlocked version) and it works flawlessly in Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands so far. No problems at all connecting to voice, voice mail, data on Edge, 3G and HSPA+. GPS and Google Maps works great. Very nice phone!! :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Good to know. I have a customer her that wants to use his over there. Now I just have to help him unlock it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Treatcon:
Flash or use Odin and install the Rogers stock radio(XKJ7), it works best for me here. More dependable when it comes to locking onto cell signals and less battery is used when it's searching for data networks. I'm also running Jugg v4.1 from the Tmobile dev forums. It's based off of Rogers as well with no CIQ. Also faux kernel from Tmobile for extreme smoothness and lag free phone use.

Just throwing this out there and hope it helps somebody along the line. I travel mostly between Germany, The Netherlands, France, Luxemburg and live in Belgium. This setup has proven to work flawless for me. Bluetooth in my truck as I travel, wifi as needed, data network the entire time I travel and I always have cell signal. While on the road traveling my battery can last anywhere between 18-22 hours :cool:

Hi

Do you mean that you flash the T989 rom to our T727 phone ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marcosxd:
Hi Guys, I am planning to buy this phone, I am from Mexico and before I make the purchase I have a few questions and since I have been around with the HD2 for about a year now, I don't know anything related this one.

- Is there as much development for this specific model as the vanilla S2 one?

- I saw in a sticky thread that there is a way to unlock a S2 with an app, is it possible with this model?

- Since I will be using it in Mexico (Telcel carrier, GSM) I won't receive the ICS update right? but I guess I will be able to root it and then upgrade it following a guide in the Android development subforum?

- Does anyone tested the MHL (HDMI adapter) with this specific model or at least with the vanilla S2? How is it working so far?

- What are your thoughts overall about this phone?

Thanks guys, I posted this as a thread with no luck but I would like to know your opinion
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Treatcon:
No clue, sorry.

Yes the hardware is the same, it also works in reverse. It's an I727 not T ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] athris:
i think this phone will work pretty much anywhere in this world as long as there's umts. I think it has 850,1900,2100 and also i believe it works on 1700 too.

Although we don't have that many development compare to internation s2, we still have some great development ongoing here.

for the ICS update, you can just flash it from here as long as it arrives.

Also you can flash the tmobile version rom to our phone too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] paradogz:
I'm using the Skyrocket fine in Sydney, Australia.

My 3G frequency is also 2100 MHz. We don't have LTE here yet but the HSPA+ speeds are amazing on this phone. On my old HD2 I was averaging about 3.5 Mbps. On the Skyrocket my average is about 7-8 Mbps with my highest test being 12.77 Mbps.

Not sure what the "agps fast fix issue" is but I've had no issues with the GPS. I'm using GPS Status to download the data file. My average lock speeds are between 5-7 seconds.

The only complaint I have about the phone is the whine/hissing sound I get from the audio at low volume when playing music. Other than that I'm loving the new phone: the impressive responsiveness, faster than ADSL2+ data speeds, very bright screen I can use outside in the sun and the sexy white case with the 'HID' back lit capacitive keys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] justbenice:
All the rom for i727 or T989 all work with i727 . The best radio is : T989UVKL1 .

BTW , compare to my all Samsung GAlaxy S2 i9100 , the i9100 have better singal .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pulverizer:
I think skyrocket does not match our korea 2100 mHz network.

Data disconnection often appear, poor signal bar, can't establish call in some area.(like bed room)

I also flashed i727r, T989, T989D radio, but all problems are same.

So i decided my phone changed to T989 hercules.

Is it a good idea?

I'm confused... specs states that I727R works on HSPA 2100 but I can't find WCDMA 2100 on *#2263#. so I can't disregard is a hardware issue.

I hope that the solution be only software.... maybe update BASEBAND....

Pls help me. I oc my sga with ketut kernel and frill on . How to I see or confirm it??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
If the settings are available it means you have it.

If you need to confirm try CPUspy app from market.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
Settings-CyanogenMod Settings-Performance-CPU Settings-Max Frequency

There you will find the settings for OC'ing your CPU. I suggest not clicking the "Set on Boot" option until you have found a value that works for you, as the phone will shut off if you pick one that is too high. You don't want it booting into an unstable value or you'll have a lot of trouble changing it back!

Good luck, and don't cook your phone :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Hi guys I had been extremely interested in the gnex for the past 2 months...buying it is on my top of list.

I wanted to get it from amazon /newegg since they have the full international warranty.beccause I am out of the country frequently for 2-3 months,in Asia,Europe,china,India,etc. My question here would be,people who got the phone from handbag/clove/negri,did u guys get international warranty n stuff recognized by Samsung?does your papers clearly mention international warranty? I have never bought from these sellers lol....in case of a problem,if I just send it in to the service center in the country,that's enuf right?I don't want a seller warranty,but a true manufacturer warranty.

sent from my tablet,NOT AN IPAD!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
bump... pls help out som1?? ne1 with a nexus, can u pls confirm the international warranty status?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
I ordered from Negri. To my knowledge Samsung UK wont warranty imported GalNex directly.

Negri's policy:

I would guess the other importers are similar. The device is covered under warranty, but needs to be shipped back to the importer you purchased from and from there back to Samsung UK. At least thats the impression I get, could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
I believe Samsung does not have international warranty atleast for this phone. If it was released in a particular country, you need to send ti to their repair center in that country for service.

If you buy it from expansys-usa, then you send the phone to them and they will send it to samsung uk for repairs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
warranty is what is definitely keeping me on the sidelines.

i'll wait for the release of the verizon version first and see if any announcements are made regarding a GSM release in the US.

Most likely i'll end up ordering sometime next week. :-)

i hope BB sells the GSM unlocked version soon. i'd rather go through them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung's policy on grey market electronics is very strict and clear. In order to receive warranty repairs on a covered device it must be:

1) Purchased in its country of intended sale.

2) Purchased from an authorized Samsung reseller.

No international GN purchased in the U.S. has a warranty no matter what the reseller tells you. That includes Negri and Expansys-USA. However, both Negri and Expansys will ship the phone overseas to one of their international affiliates for service on behalf of their U.S. customers. The GSM GN is not sold in the U.S. and, if it is, it's considered by Samsung to be a grey market device. Anyone buying from either Handtec or Clove are covered for two-years since the device would have been purchased in the UK even though it was imported to the U.S.

If an imported GN needs service, you have to ship it to a Samsung repair centre in the UK. Before warranty work is provided they'll ask for a receipt and/or credit card statement showing the purchase from an authorized reseller in GBP. They also maintain a database of serial numbers so they know which devices were sold through which resellers. They've denied claims on plenty of international SGS2's because the above conditions weren't met.

OP, Amazon and NewEgg are your least preferred options as the phone has no warranty what so ever. You can however get a SquareTrade warranty for it because they cover grey market devices. It's about $100 for two-years of coverage with ADH when they have a 30% sale going on.

Your comment:

i would like to purchase a galaxy nexus in the US that is being sold by companies like expansys, negri electronics etc.....

my questions is:

even though the galaxy nexus (GSM version) isn't officially being sold in the US, if i purchase from the aforementioned companies, can i still get a valid plan with square trade?

***the GSM galaxy nexus is currently being imported by negri electronics and expansys and sold in the US, so it is currently considered a gray market phone. *** "

bummer. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Listen,amazon and newegg have something called international versions of gs2 and gs and nexus s with full international warranty,n I know for a fact that these warranties were honored internationally. And when amazon n newegg say international warranty,it basically means everywhere except US. That's fine by me,actually. Well,I mean I would prefer if US was included obviously...but I can do without it. Anyways, speculations aside,can any actual nexus owner provide details about his or her papers? Someone from Europe that purchased from handtec or clove? I asked both handtec n clove yesterday,waiting for an answer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Show of hands:

How many people have actually used their warranty? Seriously?

I mean, it's nice as a comforting thing, but in 10 years I have never needed a warranty.

Most things that go wrong aren't warranty issues anyway (dead battery, physical/water damage, etc).

It just seems like people are leveraging this as a reason not to buy.

Once you root, it's done with anyway (any warranty, that is).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpalo:
I don't think you're done with warranty if you root. Or has anyone actually heard not getting support or service because of root? You can also always revert to stock, but I'm thinking if not to although I'm soon sending mine for inspection due to screen issues.

I was instructed by Samsung UK to contact local Samsung for support, but that can be because of all the neat customer rights things here in EU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarryH_GEG:
From the T&C of my warranties for my UK i9100 and G-Tab:

If the manufacturer refuses to honor their warranty because they consider your item grey market or not purchased from an authorized retailer, we will still cover you.

If your item is used, or doesn't have a US manufacturer's warranty of at least 90 days ("Other"), then the Service Agreement begins on the 61st day after item purchase and lasts for the number of years of coverage you specify at purchase time.

Also, after you purchase the warranty, you can send in your receipt for verification and to expedite claims processing. They accepted both my UK receipts without question.

You can view the full T&C on their website.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

Huh? There's only one warranty. The one provided by Samsung which is based on the country of intended sale. Samsung doesn't sell the GSM GN in the U.S. Any reseller that's selling it here is importing it from overseas. That makes it grey market which means Samsung won't cover it. Samsung USA won't repair it because it's not a product sold here. Samsung UK won't repair it because the Amazon receipt shows it was purchased outside the UK, its intended country of sale. You'll notice that if Amazon is the merchant, all their imported phones say "no warranty." But go ahead, purchase other than from Expansys, Negri, or the UK and see what happens if you need service. A lot of SGS2 owners spun the wheel and learned the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
as i said, theres something called international warranty that gives u warranty everywhere except US in amazon phones. esp galaxy s and s2. i dont know how that works. stupid dilemma. Then again, i dont want to buy the buy the phone then find out that it has a damaged screen/yellowish screen, non-responsive buttons and crap and have to live with that for the next 2 years. no sir. Ah well, my next assignment is in India in March, maybe I will buy it there, they provide full international warranty. But i so dont want to wait till March. :(

ps, heres the reply from clove-

Thanks for your email. We cannot guarantee that the warranty is truly international. We do find in most cases that the service centres in different countries will accept the handset for repair, but not always. It does come with a 2 year UK warranty, but as you mentioned, this may not be suitable for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarryH_GEG:
You're reading something made up by a third-party reseller listing on Amazon. The below link is for a SGS2 fulfilled by Amazon. You'll notice it says "no warranty" in the product title. There's no such thing as an "international warranty." The warranty is what's offered by Samsung which varies based on where the phone is sold.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QTBQ2C/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

I don't know what Samsung's warranty policy is for products sold in India. But you better check where an Indian purchased phone can be repaired otherwise, if it's the same policy as the rest of the world, that's where you'll be sending it should it need repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstyle88:
I know Samsung USA will not honor international devices however will they repair it for you for a charge if you send it to them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarryH_GEG:
Someone with an ISGS2 that needed a new display got all the way through the process to the point of it being received by the Samsung repair center in TX. When they got it, they sent it back. Samsung, more than any other manufacturer, does everything they can to make grey market imports distasteful. They are the only phone maker that belongs to AGMA.

Has anyone ever needed to use warranty on their phones? like, are certain defects so common that you need to use the warranty? I am looking to buy the phone from UK for use in new zealand and am worried about the warranty for GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
I bought two Galaxy Nexus units and discovered that one has a defective speaker.

Anyone know if I can mail it directly to Samsung in the UK and they will mail it back to me here in Canada? I don't mind paying the postage to the UK and get it faster rather than having it forwarded to Samsung through unlocked-mobiles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
I used my warranty on both my Nexus One and Nexus S. I got a replacement N1 from HTC and a new PCBA in my NS from Samsung, both free of charge. Both phones were rooted but re-locked before sending them in.

So what's the consensus on the best option for US buyers? One of the official UK sellers? Canadian?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BarryH_GEG:
The SGS2's weak link is the way the USB port is mounted. It can come loose and get pushed up in to the phone. It happened to a couple of people. It's too early to tell if the GN has a common failing. For warranty work, you ship the phone to Samsung in the UK and they repair it and pay shipping back.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

If you buy from Expansys-USA or Negri you ship the phone to them in the U.S. and they forward it on to their affiliates overseas for repair. It'll cost less for shipping but will take longer. The warranty is intact if you buy it from the UK.

As for Canada, that's a good question. The phone's not being sold directly there it's being offered via the carriers. If the carrier handles the repairs I don't know what happens when you're not a subscriber and don't have an account with them. I don't know if Samsung Canada will directly repair a carrier branded phone. If they will, Canada's a lot faster and cheaper if the phone needs repair.
[Windows Phone 7 General] omohat:
So I've noticed that the core OS and native Microsoft apps all run butter-y smooth because of the UI GPU acceleration. However third party apps are much less consistent.

I've been trying to find out but haven't been able to do so - do 3rd party apps also have access to GPU UI acceleration? If so is this by default or does the developer need to specifically enable this feature?

I'm asking as I'm trying to work out why some apps are so laggy (WhatsApp & TVShows to name two) but others seem to be almost as smooth as the native apps (e.g. NextGen Reader & Simple Paper). Is it down to lack of UI acceleration or do they just need more optimisation (in respect to the code).
