[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] k-dogg:
I received the OTA message late this evening. I've had the phone for almost 2 weeks and battery has been not so great. I want to remove Tmobile bloatware but still be on factory ROM and give the new one a chance with the bug fixes, but from reading around, it looks like the only way is to root and freeze or uninstall apps.

Does anyone know if (or have been able to use with this latest one) rooting, performing uninstalls, then applying the OTA will work so I'm back on the stock TouchWiz and receive future updates? Seems like everyone has been doing it manually and I wasn't sure if anyone used the OTA.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghettoc401:
Did you copy the file to the root of your SD card? I just downloaded the file myself and it is the version that you flash through clockwork.

The only way to remove T-Mobile bloatware is to root the device. Since you want to remain stock, you can accept the OTA update, root it, and then remove the bloat. There are tools to unroot the device so you can receive future OTA updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
This new update does have significantly better battery life.

I removed nearly all of the bloatware except for the stuff I need/use like my account, Name ID, Zilo and etc. but I had 2 hours and 43 minutes of screen on time, 1 hour and 36 minutes of talk time, was listening to MOG in my car(app does not let the phone sleep), ran some speedtests, played SimCity (huge processor drain) and all of that good ****, got a total of 7 hours and 46 minutes out of this charge with 5% left. VERY good IMO.

Ya I see the other zip files but not that one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghettoc401:
If you don't see the zip file then that means it may be in the wrong place, or the extension is not .zip. That may be the issue.

Just update it and reroot it again work great for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] escrowdog:
Getting confused by all the confusion!

So why is everyone hung up on getting their OTA update with a rooted phone?? Flashing back to stock, etc. Am I missing something or can we not just use the ROM posted by Whitehawkx here... http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11909-romstock-deodexed-kl1-with-wifi-calling-team-kang12142011/

I'm just rooted and installed Jugg 3.7 last week...so obviously I'm new. Just trying to understand. I REALLY need wifi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Can anybody that got the new update upload the zip for me? Please.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] protegemini:
got the update flashed last night. just realized something. before, when connected to wifi, i couldn't download the image from picture messages unless i toggle the wifi off and use the data. now, after the update, my phone downloaded the picture message while i was connected to wifi.

awesome fix! the phone is alot snappier too. gonna try to use the phone moderately today and check up on the battery life
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
I just wish someone would post the link or the update.zip and then I will be one happy camper. (I know the ROM is already in the development section but I want to see if the latter works... I can say I was barred from doing the update.zip/link method on the myTouch 4G Slide.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] budjb:
I did the update via Odin using the leaked official image. The flash worked great.

However, now Kies says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies." Is this because Kies thinks I have a custom rom (the phone in download mode says it's not custom and it's a samsung official rom), or is it because Kies is simply not aware of the update yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I'd like the zip too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tluv11:
Are there any ROMs out there that have this or where the Devs are looking to add it in right now? I have EaglesBlood but I think the Dev has either moved on to the GNex or something else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
T-Mobiles fw poilcy is ****. You should be able to click the software link, it checks the server, grabs the latest and allows install. Mine still says no fw. :mad:

And I see nobody here is kind enough to upload the actual zip. :(

And don't refer me to the thread with the whole firmware please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manolodf:
Hey guys, what would you recommend. Update via Odin to leaked image then root, or do the deodexed and rooted build http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11909-romstock-deodexed-kl1-with-wifi-calling-team-kang12142011/ without bloatware and then manually update baseband via odin?

I am fairly new to this and Odin, I currently have stock that's rooted so no OTA for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
Everyone on this forum seems to think that Odin is the start all end all for this update. Looks like we are outta luck til one of us get the notification...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Would you newbies like a video on how to update via odin. My first video ever so dont hate. Its uploadig to youtube now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
I am not a newbie. I used Odin countless times when i had a Vibrant. However, i prefer to receive my updates (while on a stock ROM) in more official ways. Furthermore, Odin is more stressful on internal components when it rewrites your system. I do not care to raise my flash counter until a nice stable ICS ROM comes into existence.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
Dude just go to rootzwiki and flash the new modem whitehawkx made Now flash the deodexed rom whitehawkx made up have to flash modem and rom separate cuz flashing just the rom won't achieve the new modem. Now after that's all said and done you are good to go also the new modem (baseband) will always stay in tact even when flashing new roms unless of course you flash the older modem back via Odin. Newer modem is nice though I used to only get 3 to 4 mbps around my way sometimes 5 now I get an average of 10 or 11. And if u just simply want the new zip (rom) and don't care about Odin just wipe everything and flash the rom. But I would strongly suggest the modem too:) so I would wipe what you're on currently flash the deodexed rom then flash the modem second
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Nah, I'm good.

I just want the zip so I have the "official". And I want to grab the browser apk from it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
What do u mean it as official as it gets.... And Odin is way better then fota

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

It doesn't raise your counter. It's an official samsung rom. It only does that with non samsung roms and kernels. Also anything based on samsung source usually doesn't raise the counter.. my counter didn't move.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I just installed the latest rom and modem.

Modem install went fine via odin.

Installed the rom via CWM and everything seems fine so far EXCEPT the browser is totally useless. Things seem snapier than before.

Why is the browser all messed up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I want the one that comes from t-mobile. This one may be official, but somethings wrong. There's no reason the browser should be unusable. I know how and can easily do the odin version (thanks chib1panda). I still want the zip. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
I'm curious, what problem are you having with the stock browser? It works flawlessly for me.

[Q] 12-15-2011 T-mobile update? how to deal with it?

Hello,

I looked around the forums on what to do with today's T-mobile update and I am confused on what to do. I currently have my phone uprooted running Bombaridier V.3.5 Synergized.

Is there a link or advice anyone can give to get rid of it or update?

Thank you for any help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
Browser? Dude my browser seems smoother it is fine.... Who's wasn't usable? Lol Dude I'm telling us the one from Odin and tmobile are the same
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markatl84:
Is Kies mini different from the Kies version for our phone that connects over wifi? My Kies doesn't show updates available. I have a stock non rooted phone and want to update without waiting for OTA. Can this be done with Kies or like how I did it on the nexus by downloading the zip and copying it to the phone? Or am I just outta luck if I don't wanna root?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I wasnt calling everyone newbies. Its meant for those who hace no idea what do to. Doesnt raise counter on official. Also no browser issues here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
The browser has a lag problem. It's discussed in the other thread.

-> Browser lag link <-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OriginalMemnock:
You need to go back to stock rom to apply the update. Your phone will unroot after applying the update so you will need to root again.

Alternately, you can wait a few days until Bomb or another Rom incorporates the update and flash that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DensoYamaha41:
Thank you for the reply. That make sense. I think I will wait until a dev releases the update.

Question though - does anybody know how to get rid of the notification. I select delay for a day but it keeps popping up.

Thanks

x2. I just installed Whitehawkx ROM. Coming from Juggernaut 3.7. I did NOT wipe! Everything works GREAT so far and wifi calling and texting is perfect from my house now (typically 0 bars to maybe 1 occasionally). I just downloaded the Dolphin HD browser...better browser and works perfectly. BUT my stock browser does have the bad lag for whatever reason.

Have to add that I HOPE Whitehawkx gives us a new Jugg update with wifi incorporated! I'm already jones'n for my reboot menu, battery meter and CRT off!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
Aaah, after using it a bit more I do see what you're talking about. Personally I've always used opera on android, it's far and away the best browser in my opinion. If you hadn't mentioned something, I probably wouldn't even have noticed this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
Yeah I use Opera Mobile and it rocks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Just started using the dolphin browser as well. i had always used the stock browser but man dolphin is way better. im sure firefox and opera are also much better than using the stock one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coocookuhchoo:
I'm confused. If I want to go completely by the book, is the update OTA or done over kies? Do I just wait to get notified of receiving the update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
Kies and OTA will be by the book, technically.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coocookuhchoo:
That's what I'm confused about. Are kies and ota two separate ways of getting it? Is this update actually over the air, or do we need to use kies mini to get it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Both, but ota takes a while to get to you since they send them out randomly. Kies is just like if you flash in cwm, right away manually pretty much.. Just use Odin, quick too

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joking:
I waited till 10 am this morning and still no FOTA notification. So I connect to the computer and open Kies. It notify me right away there is a update available to my phone. The whole update took about 10 minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnmb:
I didn't want to go the odin route, so I downloaded Kies, and then was prompted right away to update Kies again. Thought that was strange.

Anyway, after Kies finished updating (and rebooting my PC), it took it a good 30 minutes to update the drivers for my phone. Once that was done, Kies finally recognized my device, and I was prompted to update the phone's firmware... only for it to say my phone needed to be charged more. lol

So I'm just waiting for my phone to finish charging before I can install the update. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
Yeah I just unplugged my phone then plugged it back in when it said that charging message
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnmb:
mine finished charging and Kies did the update without a hitch. took about 10-15 minutes for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonnythrice:
are you guys using Kies or Kies Mini? Does anyone have a link for Kies please?

Also, dont I have to go to my.tmobile.com account and actviate wifi calling? I cant seem to find that option online. I have a family plan, I'm not the main account holder if that makes a difference. I have logged in with my wife's account (main account holder), and I chose "Change Services" and chose my phone...dont see Wifi Calling anywhere ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnmb:
this.

On another note, I just noticed that when you go to paste text, there is a clipboard option to select which text you want to paste. I don't think we had that before this update.

I assume the clipboard a touchwiz feature?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joking:
You'll need to call or chat to have them add the free wifi calling service to your account. Did mine via chat yesterday, took about an hour to show up in your account.

sigh... okay lets make a list

Ubuntu

Pros

never need to bother with drivers

can read all file formats

no viruses? (who gets these anyway lol)

connects to a new wifi the first time, without the need to reset computer 2-3 times

picture gallery has built in .GIF support

loads way faster

Cons

no where near as much support

hard to find stuff for

if you have a problem, nobody irl even knows what it is

all of your favorite programs dont exist for it

youve used windows your whole life, and can pretty much fix everything yourself
[Off-topic] AllGamer:
PROS

ubuntu is singled handedly the most supported open source OS with the largest community

Easy to find your favourite Apps alternative (you will never find the same, else they will be paid and not open source)

no need to worry about licensing

CONS

not as much popular Apps development available as Android

just browse or post some question in the ubuntu forums, you'll get answer pretty quickly

most games i play in Ubuntu using Wine or VM session

very few games i need to boot back to Win7 to play

and Ubuntu keeps assimilating most of the nice features found in Android

[Motorola Atrix 2] ItsaRaid:
Hello, Im hoping I can find someone who can help. I am into a Atrix for about 2 months now, It started off great and has turned into a nightmare. I am not getting any real help on Moto's Forum, actually Im getting Jacked around.

The Phone has started to lag badly, it loses touch abilities on the display it freezes or quits working, Apps are dissapearing, Moto says take it off the SD Card, the phone is acting like a Moto POS.

Moto is tight lipped about any patches or fixes, the Camera sucks it takes horrible pictures, and I cant get anywher with them or AT&T

What about ICS or Android 4, does anyone know the likelyhood hat Atrix 2 will get it and when if so.?

Someone said, trash the A2 get a Nexus LTE your troublles will be over, is that true? Why not just put ICS on the A2, it got a beautiful display

I hope some one can guide me with this mess, Motorola Is ot interested in helping people wit A2's, their busy with the Putzonic and Wayzor Droiddie, they forgot about us little fish.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
What have you done to your A2 so far? There is also a sticky about ICS so yeah until ICS pushed to other phones you wouldn't hear anything. A2 is actually not a little fish ^_^ but yeah back to the question. What have you done to your A2? rooted? any adb push? I had disappearing apps to but realized I froze them lol well yeah an Indepth detail of the problem would help. this post sounds like a rant to me ^_^v
[Motorola Atrix 2] kirkgbr:
I got my A2 Nov 11 and have had 2 freezes. Nothing a battery pull couldn't revive though.

Several threads(not just on these forums) about apps disappearing if they are stored on the SD card. If you are putting your apps on the SD card, have you tried moving them to internal storage?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ItsaRaid:
To clear up some of the questions: The Atrix2 I have is absolutely Motorola Stock, I have some 15 apps on it, no games,. No Root, No Nothing.

I went to load XDA on the Phone, it started to load, gave me the first page, and I tried to scroll down to a different page, it moved about a 1/2 page and got "Stuck" stayed that way for about 2 minutes and then began to operate normal.

Whats the big deal about saying the Phone will get ICS? Understandable it takes time to get it all prepared, but say something. They (Motorola User Forum) are blowing the A2 off on the Forum, Nothing has been said about patches or fixes, the phone isnt even listed on the Motorola Update Page- (MB865)

They finally acknowledged there is a issue with the SD Card and suggested we move all Apps off the SD Card- I did so, but there has been no dialog as to whats wrong and when a fix can be expected. Im tired of "Toilet Bowl Excuses" given from Motorola, and their Techs are a absolute Joke, their better equipped to pick Bananas from Coconut Trees,(Everything goes to the Phillipines) than offer solutions of help for the Atrix2.

I have no experience with rooting or such, and if you mention XDA "Anything" on the forum, youll get threats of "Banned from Forum" (A Bunch of BS), also honestly, I really dont want to lose my warranty, and they (Motorola) have made it very clear that if you Mod the Phone in any way, (Including AT&T) you will violate the warranty. I really dont want to lose the warranty on the phone.
