________

Long story short, AT&T messed up their tax charge calculation... how can EST. TAX be $48.12???? :mad: Called a sales Rep only to be flogged off to call back later when the phone arrives with the billing note to confirm the charges and seek a credit.

-10 for AT&T Customer services! As unhelpful as always.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] agent4678:
I believe that they charge tax based upon the full retail price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] likeitnot:
I picked up on this deal last week and just got mine today. BEAUTIFUL phone. The transition from my iPhone 4 doesn't seem to even be an issue at this point. (I've had Android before so I'm fairly familiar...well, really familiar, with it so that might help). I figured 90 days is okay and mine line has insurance so that helps extend it as well correct? I'm content. Love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
Wow! Meanwhile @ Bestbuys in NYC... Skyrocket is $250?! S2 is $200. Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phoenix84118:
I just picked this up for $10 too (didn't know it was a penny before).

I'm coming from a Nexus One (I LOVE it, but the lack of memory is getting to me, plus no official ICS).

My wife's Desire Z happened to JUST die on Friday, so I quickly got a captivate from a coworker who just upgraded to an iPhone 4S. I do love the SGS though (never considered Samsung for phones before, but I love their monitors).

She loves the keyboard though, and I already have a buyer for the SGS, so I'm going to sell the N1 and get the SGSII and Captivate Glide (for her) with those funds.

I also have the unlimited data plan (BB personal). I called the 800 number provided and spoke to someone there. They said that I can pick any plan, then just call back after I activate the phone and request the unlimited to be put back on. They said since I already have an unlimited plan they can look that up in my account.

They also said that the unlimited is 'deprecated', so they can't do it automatically, but instead have to open a ticket so the right department can make the adjustments.

One thing I noticed yesterday, the $6.99 "Mobile insurance" was an option until about 6pm PST. I started the process at work, but restarted it at home, and the option was gone. Only the $9.99 "Mobile protection Plan". I'm going to call them about that too.

The SGS II is bigger than I'd like (the SGS is the PERFECT size, plus it fits in my BB holster), but at $10 (+tax), it's a steal.

I'm hesitant about the refurb, but if it was just a return/cancelled order I feel better about it. I've had NOTHING but bad luck with refurbs in the past.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n2dp:
My wife liked my SGSII, so I grabbed her one of the 9.99 refurbs. When it came in today, the battery was completely shot. I put my battery in and it seemed to work just fine. I will exchange it at a local AT&T store tomorrow, per C/S. I am a "fan" of refurbs because they have usually been gone over pretty well during the process. Unlike new products that only have a percentage "inspected". First issue I have ever had with one and it was a battery issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NascarFastcar:
Btw more refrubs are basically new. I have had 8 captivate refurbs from warranty and they were all cosmetically flawless. Alot of the refurbishment units are ones that didnt pass the final quality test and were fixed and passed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
AT&T Premier says they are out of Stock, yet AT&T says they have some. Since the Premier website says out of stock, theres no getting around that, so I called and instantly get shipped over to Premier call center where they assure me that they are out. :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmbradd:
Was dealing with the same issue trying to get one for my wife. Tried for two days then today around 12:30pm pacific time they were in stock so I ordered one. Keep checking back! Infact they are in stock right now. Was so frustrated because the premier store was out of stock but normal store had them in stock. In what sense then is it a premier store?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xandr115:
darn missed out... have to keep checking back now i suppose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yushen1989:
omg, missed it. just a week ago... pool:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kristikaty:
Thank you. Finally an answer to my question, glad to hear it is not just me. Been dealing with this all day, but no one could tell me why or if I would ever be able to get one. Now I know that if I'm patient and keep checking, I will get one. Thank you. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ashhong:
Wasn't a NEW S2 only 10$ with contract like last month? In fact it may still be that price, I don't know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kristikaty:
That's just it, not showing up for me as premier. I wasn't due for upgrade until A[ril 1st and now because of the great promotion they had on them, they are sold out I guess. Or that is what I was told on the phone, but it is not even showing up as an option at all. Doesn't even say sold out, it is just not there. But if I go in as a new customer, it is there. Actually, as of late last night, that was not an option either. Must truly be sold out.

[HTC Wildfire S] kvasnevsky:
Hi All

Does anybody else got Wildfire S almost unusable after update to 2.3.5? UI is extremely laggy, animations (especially when using clocks with weather) are fragmented and you can see some rectangular overlays instead of pictures, keyboard blinks, so you can hardly type anything, etc., etc.

Factory reset doesn't solve the problem.
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
How did you install the update? Ruu or ota?

try this

factory reset

Download The ruu from shipped rom's thread

Then install through your PC.

If this is how you installed it already it may have just been an unlucky/bad flash, in which case try again.
[HTC Wildfire S] kvasnevsky:
It was OTA. But now it doesn't connect to PC - not in Sync or Drive modes...

Looks like HTC service is the only answer.
[HTC Wildfire S] abhikickass:
how to know which ruu we have to download..???

saw the FOOTBALL shipped rom'd...

but they got no explaination which rom we have to download and update...

just downloaded one(randon) and it says error 131...update not for your phone...help!
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
Depends on region and language required.

If you want English or European languages download the latest euro 2.13.*** it will remove operator bloatware too. But you will have to create a goldcard or you'll get error.

Check the stickies for tutorials.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
If you have a HTC Wildfire S A510e (GSM) try to download the file with this name: RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H

It's on football's thread.

If you have error 131 while updating you need to create a goldcard in order to install that RUU.

This subject is more than covered in many threads.

If you want instructions on how to create a goldcard try to go here:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/305672-creating-a-goldcard/

Try to do some research first before picking a ROM at random.

There's lots of info here. Sometimes people are just too lazy to search... ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] gocom:
Hi. I have rooted my Wildfire S and cannot get it to upgrade to 2.3.5 using the Phone-update. It shows a triangle with exclamation mark inside and hangs forever. Can only get out of hang by remove battery. Have asked HTC (not told root) but they can only tell me to format SD-card and factory reset. I will now try via PC and GoldCard made by my XTC-Clip.

[HTC Wildfire S] acemo:
I tried to update my phone from 1.33.401.2 to 2.13.401.2 with RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe

I kept getting error 170.

Turned out i had to exit htc sync from the sys tray.
[HTC Wildfire S] Kavashaki:
Hey dude, I registered just to help you out because I had a similar situation with my WFS.

After unlocking the bootloader through htcdev and rooting my phone I had the exact same problems - laggy menus, stuttering animations - all-around-crappy-phone-syndrome. But after I applied some android tweaks to the build.prop file, specifically tweaks from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227269), my WFS was smooth as butter.

I applied the following:

debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150

You can find the build.prop file in the /system folder. Gotta be rooted to edit it though.

Let me know if it worked for you.
[HTC Wildfire S] nephertiti:
Anyone getting exclamatory point in triangle after you click install update and reset phone? If you know whats problem please help.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

btw my device is S-Off phone downloaded update automaticly. i tried more then once ,always same error.
[HTC Wildfire S] friendly12345:
Hi,

I have the same problem, too. As I read through a lot of post. Look like the install package need to be read by the stock recovery. the CWD recovery can't not extract the install package. That's why it stuck there.

I'm currently looking for the stock recovery to do the job.

But I still not find any.

If you have any news on working this out. please let me know.

Thanks,

Yuan Chen
[HTC Wildfire S] edanslomo:
I have the same issue as the above. However, I tried unlocking the bootloader but was unsuccessful (Image not supported). Now I installed the OTA update and my phone's unusable.
[HTC Wildfire S] kvasnevsky:
Actually I gave it to support, so they uploaded "right" ROM (interesting why I got "wrong" one through OTA? Maybe because I bought it through internet shop and phone origin is some Polish operator, so maybe it was tweaked somewhere on the road? Hard to say...)

Now I'm thinking if next OTA should be tried or old one is just good enough...

Sorry with ICS they decided there was no need for navigation, so no new phones will have it. You'll have to buy an iPhone if you want navigation and buy an app that's over $9000.

google navigation for nexus s in unsupported countries

Hi! Im trying to find out if there is a way to get google navigation on my nexus running ics here in the philippines without rooting. The fix that i read from other threads requires rooting and i dont really want to do that. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jojoost:
Or jailbreak your iphone ;)

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] glennkaonang:
You could take a look at this thread here: [APP MOD] Google Maps 6.4.0 ownhere/Brut.all- NAVIGATION all roads.

There are 3 installation methods there.

From what I read, one method requires no root access, so you could give it a try.

Anyway, I used the third method using Root Explorer (replacing the apk & setting permissions).

Navigation works fine now in Indonesia.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mattia.b89:
also i confirm Sygic works, CM9 alpha

not perfect (app crashed one time over three usage) but works smoothly

I wanted to scan an .apk from my computer before I transfered it to my Droid. I was finding this impossible. But Netqin Online Virus Scan specifically says,

"NetQin Online Virus Scan is a free service to scan software packet for Mobile OS, such as Symbian S60, Android, KJava, and Windows Mobile (for “.sisx”, “.sis”, “ .apk”, “.jar” and “.cab” formats)."

Anyone know of other online scanners that work on .apk?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronis_BR:
Hi fellows!

Can anyone tell me if motorola droid RAZR has a gyroscope?

If not, the AR apps, such as star chart, will not work, will it?

Thanks,

Ronan
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
Yes the keyboard/screen flips with movement. If that's what you're wondering.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abw1987:
I believe that's the accelerometer. A gyroscope performs a different function.

A quick google search reveals that the RAZR does have a gyroscope, as far as I can tell.

Why do you ask?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garlick2:
Well, I just did some reading, and while the accelerometer can work similar to a gyroscope, it's not nearly as precise.

The RAZR does have one, according to the tear down that was done before it was released, and it works faster and more accurately than an accelerometer at determining screen position in relation to phone angle.

Interesting that they've tasked accelerometers this way in phones previously.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronis_BR:
I asked because some websites are saying that RAZR has the sensor but it isn't activated. Can anyone test with elixir please?

Thanks,

Ronan
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brunoerre:
Just did. It says info on the gyroscope is "not available".

Can't tell though if it's because elixir can't access/find gyroscope, or it isn't there, or like you said, is not activated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronis_BR:
Yes, definitively the Motorola Razr doesn't have a gyrometer. However, if you use Elixir 2, you will see that it provides orientation. I'm not sure, but I guess it maybe fuse accelerometers and magnetometer measurements to obtain the orientation estimates. Thus AR software can be used correctly, I tried Google Sky and it works perfectly. Additionally, the orientation estimate SEEMS to be much smoother than the one in Galaxy Tab P1000.

Thanks,

Ronan

hello I like to develop my own stock rom modified for stock kernel and lock botloader.

Someone can help me? which software do I need? I was programming. greetings and thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
I am also on stock kernel with .42 firmware and locked BL.

I'd love that somebody create some ROMs, which are also for BL.

At the moment there is only one ROM for locked BL.

The only thing I can say you could use SE Extreme Tweaker.

It can install CWM for locked BL, which is great so you can also flash themes/mods/etc.

There is also a APK Manager included. That would maybe idea to customize system apps.

Otherwise you could edit some system files like build.prop.

I noticed in the developement forum (I haven't posted enough to post there and hopefully I'm not too late), regarding an issue with the latest build and Kindle. I had the same issue. I simply went to Amazon Appstore and if I recall correctly is showed as an "update" under my apps (which will often do if you first downloaded an app from Market). I updated from the Appstore and it worked. Either that or I downloaded it from the Appstore, again it was a few days ago. In either case my Kindle is now working. Just thought I would share somewhere...By the way I absolutely love CM7 XRON, brilliant. No issues. Thank you Leo!!!! (if you see this).
[TouchPad General] askat1988:
Same thing worked for me.
[TouchPad General] cdmcfud:
That worked for until I rebooted.
[TouchPad General] pmknking:
What worked for me was to uninstall with Titanium Backup and then download from Market.

I've rebooted a number of times and it's working just fine.
[TouchPad General] Leoisright:
Next release this will be fixed out on the flash along with Facebook and others. Testing stuff now.
[TouchPad General] askat1988:
Thanks Leo!

Thanks Leo I use the kindle app alot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] benwiggin2:
So...I had some issues yesterday which caused me to unroot (Pete's), and restore via power and volume button(s). Everything is back up and running very smooth today except...I use handcent, which is fine. Problem is I am now recieving dual notification. So, I need to disable notification on the stock messaging app, but It is nowhere to be found (by me). Wondering if there is any way to reinstall stock messaging app? Is there an .apk for that? If no, how can I locate it? Through root explorer? Titanium Backup? It's disabled because I haven't re-rooted, and I don't know If I care to.

Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
The BIOIC uses some really weird things, and in terms of message for SMS, look under the letter M for messages or U for Universal inbox (which will then open the messaging app).

I'll have another look. Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] benwiggin2:

Problem is, that since you're not rooted, you cannot install the app to the /system folder, which is where all the system apps go, so....

Hey John, I did re root. And I have the gingerbread mms. apk. Where exactly does it go? I have tried to install it but I guess I am trying from the wrong location?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
What's the full name of the .apk?

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

Wait, you're saying you have an MMS.apk from another ROM? If your BIONIC is stock (except being rooted of course) that probably will not do you any good, b/c I have no ms.apk on my phone...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] benwiggin2:
well...perhaps. I read of the same problem someone had on a forum- they lost their native messaging app. There was a link for the gingerbread (not bionic, this I know) mms.apk. I dropped it into my sd, and it will not install. So, the bionic mms.apk would probably or no doubt be unique I take it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terri M:
I have a deodexed messaging app that is similar to the OG Droid messaging. I was able to pull it from a ROM about 3 ago (I cannot even remember WHICH ROM I tried! LOL) This is the only.messaging app I have ever used on all of my DROIDX. Send me a PM with your email address if you would like it. Oh yeah, you can also "install" it like any other apk.

Remember to hit the "Thanks" button when someone helps you!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] benwiggin2:
Hey John, were you able to find anything?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Sorry, I didn't go looking until I heard back from you.

In my current BIONIC, there is both messaging.apk and messaging.odex.

In the system dump I have of the BIONIC software, I have the same files. The system dump is the 5.5.886 files, though.

if you're at 100% stock (other than being rooted) then PM me and I'll send you a .ZIP of both files.

Hi there,

I am considering buying the Galaxy Note, I have had a HTC HD2 for 2 years and think this maybe the new phone for me,

I'm not worried by size as it seems in scale for me.

I have used HTC for along time and have upgraded roms etc and kept upto date!

can i have some advice? How good is this Phone and anybody else moved from a htc hd2?

thank you
