Stock about phone info for tmobile's galaxy s2 ?

Hi I just bought a T-Mobile galaxy s2 off Craigslist and I don't know if the person I bought it from tampered with any of the software in the phone so I'm asking what's the stock kernel version, build number, baseband version, and android version for T-Mobile version of the galaxy s2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Android Version -2.3.5

Baseband -KID or KL1

Build -Gingerbread

Kernel -2.6.35.14

Powered by the SGSII....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atmk4shh:
My android version is 2.3.5

my baseband version is T989uvkid

My kernel version is 2.6.35.11

my build number is gingerbread.uvkid

Is all of this the right stock info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Yeah, that's stock. You're good.

Why were you concern?

Powered by the SGSII....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atmk4shh:
I didn't want to end up sending in my phone for repair then be charged for it being almost unrooted. Lol I bought a android from Craigslist before and the guy unrooted it but it wasn't a stock rom on it so I'm guessing he got scared or lazy but lucky I was already a root/unroot king so it was no problem fixing it

Is it possible to have those Android or ios onscreen keyboards for wp7?

I prefer the iPhone keyboard though as it's less narrower than wp7 keyboard .

or in the very least , can we alter the size of individual keys?

Just updated my Nexus S to ICS yesterday. I found that the Security settings Automatically Lock affect the Android OS keep awake. If I set to Immediate or a few seconds, the keep awake is relatively similar. If I increase to 10 minutes or more, it will spike up.

I've done some testing and you can see the results here.

Initial set to "Immediate"

After 30 min of standby, the keep awake about the same. Then set to 10 Minutes

After 30 min of standby, the keep awake spike up

Can that be the culprit for high Android OS usage? But I not sure if it affect the battery life. To new to judge.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
I guess this is specific to Nexus S?

In Galaxy Nexus, I cannot find "Automatically Lock" thing in the Security Settings.

Do you mean "Sleep" setting in the "Display"?

So, please show me how do you set this.

PS: I own Nexus S as well, but still on GB.
[Nexus S General] challl88:
You can try switch off "autorotation" function in "Display settings" - you´ll see difference :)

BTW. no funkcion as Automatically Lock under "Security..." here on my NXS 9023

Edit: OK, after setup pattern lock its shows up :)
[Nexus S General] willbeh:
If you enable Security eg pattern, should be able to see the Automatically Lock. That's on Nexus S. Not sure about Galaxy Nexus

Hey all, I know that this might be the wrong place but oh well, I have an ifunse 4g and although it's an awesome phone im looking to upgrade, it seems like like sgs2 is the target but the issue is do I the the att i777 or the international i9100, the i9100 seems to get alot more developmental lovin' than att version and that to me seems like a good reason to go for the i9100, then again that might cost me a little more and would the i9100 even work well on atts network. And opinions/ideas on a better path would be nice.
[General Questions and Answers] Ryanscool:
If your willing to spen a heck of a lot more but save an upgrade go with the international. Also go with the inter. If you want the awesome home button ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Skv012a:
Depends how much each will run you. If you can upgrade, I'd say get ATT, root/unlock, sell, get Int. version.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eagle132:
So, I keep my wifi on mostly at all times. But I've found that when I leave my home, and get outside my wifi range, instead of naturally switching back to 3G (I usually have 4G disabled for battery purposes, unless I need speed), my 3G and bars icon will be all greyed out, and I will have no incoming data. I otherwise have a great signal here in Boston. Sometimes it will eventually start working, but other times I will need to reboot in order to have a working data connection.

Is this an issue anyone else has? It seems the transition from wifi to mobile data is glitchy?
[Kindle Fire General] AndrewTL:
See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402440

Sorry - don't have enough posts to reply directly in the dev tree, but it would seem to me that if all the updates are just zip files, couldn't they be modified to include root? Then the normal update system would handle the installation? You wouldn't need root then.. Just dump it into the "kindleupdates" folder and let it do its thing. It would just install it.

It looks like the install is just running a script.. one of the first things it does is wipe the system folder.. doesn't mean you can't include additional files and copy them in afterwards with the script does it?
[Kindle Fire General] jlocohustler:
You need to go through all the lines of code for that and I believe some of them are binary files as well. Possible but will take much time. For now we must wait until someone finds a better solution.
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
signature issues.
[Kindle Fire General] AndrewTL:
6.2.1 experiment?

Maybe I don't follow the process.. but I'm guessing no signatures..

not a signed bootloader.. no signatures required...

Get beyond compare and look at the differences between the OTA updates and the zip that Eldarerathis put together.

The ".bin" files are just ".zip" files renamed.

Look at

META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in the bin files they release.

It is just a script.

And to do the things that it is doing, it has to be getting root permissions while it is running.

I don't know how to recover if it doesn't work, but I half wonder if you were to take the zip that fellow created, change the extension to ".bin" and just dump it into the update folder if the fire would install it for you?

He took out the image files from the script. He's just updating the system tree directly. He doesn't update the bootloader, recovery or backup trees.

For that matter if those contained something nasty, they could probably be pulled from an earlier update.

== cut ===

package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery");

show_progress(0.100000, 10);

package_extract_file("u-boot.bin", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/bootloader");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/backup");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/backup", "/backup");

package_extract_file("backup_userdata.zip", "/backup/backup_userdata.zip");

== cut ===

Please nobody try this idea that doesn't know enough to recover if it doesn't work, because I've not a clue how.

But could someone explain why wouldn't it work?

Worst case the rev might need to be manually edited to bump it one for the script.

Seems like it might be an easy way to get around headaches with OTA updates.
[Kindle Fire General] wyhteagle:
Andrew,

Are you having issues with getting into recovery so that you can test this? The Devolopers have a copy of TWRP 2 working perfectly on the device so you can get a clean backup of the OS before you test.

You sound like you may know what to do to fix the issue and I just want to help you get a good recovery in case it doesn't pan out or for testing.

~enjoy.
[Kindle Fire General] AndrewTL:
Actually I'm just afraid of messing up what I have working now.

I've got TWRP 2 running with the 6.2.1 image.

I'm setting these up as gifts. I spent a good 12 hours yesterday fighting the darn things. Guess I'm getting gun shy. Had a lot of issues with adb. Kudos to the new utility and setting the second ports up. I'm learning.

The OTA install wipes the system directory. It's in the script.

I was tempted to just comment that line out and see if it would leave the rest alone.

If I brick the thing its going to be painful for me to sort out.

I also didn't want to risk losing root. I also haven't tried loading an older OTA version.

At the time, I couldn't ask the fellow that developed the rooted 6.2.1 zip the question in his thread as I didn't have enough posts.

I'm going to be out of pocket for quite some time. I'm not going to have time to spend like this again for at least a few days.

But I was checking the zip he made versus the .bin/.zip files that the OTA releases using beyond compare. I wanted to see what files had actually changed.

That's when I found that script. It is manipulating permissions directly. It has to be running at a root level. I don't see anything like a signature on it, so why couldn't their own update system be used to tweak their own updates to allow for root?

hi i need some help on my evo 3d i resonantly rooted my evo and it is working fine i installed a synergy rom but i had to use quick boot in order to go to recovery menu because i cant access menu with power button+volume down . when i try to do it nothing happens.. any idea ? how to fix it?

Quick story:

I just unlocked and rooted my phone yesterday,

and I installed Rom Mananger to flash clockwork recovery and i noticed that I have to flash it every single time for it to work... As in every time when I try to reboot into recovery without reflashing it, it gives me an android with red error sign in the middle?

Please help me with this!

Thanks! :)

Yes I'm a newb :p

I am in the same boat! I hope one of the experts offers some help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zachberger:
Have you tried renaming or deleting the 'recover-from-boot.p' file in /system? That fixed it for me, I renamed it to recover-from-boot.p.bak using root explorer, reflashed the recovery and all is well now.

[EVO Shift 4G General] CreepyE:
Hi everyone I been an android user since the days of the OG droid and have been in love with this site and its devs and supporters since i found it. I feel its time i try to give back. Currently I have an HTC G2 and the wife has a MyTouch 4G. A while back we were both on Sprint and we had 2 Evo Shifts. One day our 1 yo son grabs ahold of the wifes Evo shift and gives it a bath in the toilet. We immediately dried it and put it in a bowl of rice for 2 days. Seems the digitizer fried so end of that one. Then a few weeks later I take mine out of my pockets to check the time and the screen wouldnt turn on. backlights and sound were fine but I didnt bother replacing it since i didnt like Sprints network.

Long story short I'd like to donate these 2 phones to a dev in the community. All i ask is for them to pay shipping and to be an existing dev in this community. Mailing me a prepaid shipping slip would be fine. Either PM me or email me @ creeye90@gmail.com. BTW zip is 92570

Keep in mind they both have bad ESNs and neither one will include the batteries as i use them as backups for my G2

Thx for reading my rambling post

I notice after I connect my NT to my home wifi, it says "connected, testing...", instead of just "connected".

Has anybody else seen this? I just wonder if it drains battery if wifi is constantly testing the network. Is there a way to decipher this?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
I had it happen a few times a few weeks back, yep. Turned out I had a loose/iffy cable on my wifi router, so check that first. Then reboot the wifi router and make sure it's functional on another device (does that show as fully connected?).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djxpress:
I have TB Pro and I've frozen a few apps such as the AT&T Code Scanner and Media Hub. I've also detached their links from the Market so they don't show up in my update list. However, every once in a while, when I go to the Market, I see these apps reappear in my update list. I go back to TB, long press the app and get the option to Detach from Market, so I have to do the process over again.

Anyone have an idea why they keep having to be detached?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] J-Wall:
The only way I have stopped the Market from seeing them is to completely delete the app. You should back them up first just in case you need them again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rogcontact:
Try MyBackup Pro, that has the ability to disconnect an application from the market, and the ability to freeze a system application on the phone.

It seems Apple is in the lead of this whole patent war nonsense winning against HTC for patents of things like clicking numbers and maps from a message, although HTC has pledged to modify their devices to remove any sort of infringement things just aren't looking good, I mean the iPhone is a nice device and everything but I can't imagine being trapped in that box Apple puts people in, Although HTC makes a great deal of Android powered phones its obvious the main Target is Android itself, The way things are going Im just wondering will there be a future with the Android we all know and love

[Android General] Skv012a:
Funny enough, I still don't fully feel that (at least Samsung phones) Android has that true comfortable multi-tasking. Holding home, for instance, bring up a recently used menu rather than currently running. Going to main screen, then to task manager, then to an open app of choice is a little clunky IMO.

So IMO, Android needs to adapt that true alt-tab style way to browse actually running apps. Nokia had this for ages.
[Android General] gielsgaard:
If the Android is so much better than all the others ,then why even care about them ??

Honeycomb and ICS changed this ...there's a app switching button
[Android General] player911:
Yea the app switching/task killer is fantastic in ICS. I use it all the time. Great for quick multitasking. You swipe to close kinda ala PalmPre style (they swipe up). Notifications can be removed one at a time CM7 style (swipe to remote).

Apple iOS doesn't hold a candle to Android functionality. You can start to see this when the last Apple update stole most of it from Android. Split keyboard, pfft. Notification Center, pfft.

IMO, let them keep pulling the best ideas from one another until they are both the same great product.

Next iOS update = iWidgets
[Android General] alex2792:
The future of Android is 3rd pace behind WP8(or whatever the next version will be called) and iOS unless Google can solve the performance and update problems plaguing Android. Android fans can cry all they want about Apple and MS suing various Android OEMs, but fact is Android infringes on a million patents and "open" buzzword isn't a valid defense in the court of law. Android was originally designed to mimic Blackberry until Schmidt realized that iPhone was the future and now Google is working on ripping off WP7 people hub features so I wouldn't be surprised if more lawsuits are ahead once ICS becomes more popular.
[Android General] relldroid:
iWidgets lol, but I wish Google had a patent for the notification bar Apple clearly ripped it off of android all while they claim vise versa, as for the wp8 comment I think the real argument deals with apple, seeing how wp7 was never really popular, well from what I know, people seem to favor what they know over then what they don't, so IMO wp8 would be number 3

Hey, has anyone tried any SIP clients on any of these builds? None of them seem to work -

SIPdroid - I know this worked prior to the 3.0 kernels. My roomie is running it just fine on V26, but since I updated to V40, no dice.

3CXPhone - No dice, won't even register.

CSipSimple - Registers, but doesn't make called

Built in ICS Sip Accounts - Not really sure, I entered my info and it says "Dialing" but never actually rings

Is this a problem with ICS where something changed? I'm no dev, but I've troubleshot the best I can, can anyone confirm if their Pbxes accounts work or not?

I used Sipdroid to link my Google Voice with my pbxes account.

I'm running oICS V40 with Glados 2.1. I never update over a previous version, I full wipe for every rom. Everything else works wonderfully :)

However, if you root and load TWRP... you can then save the image you are using and if you want, you can reload the 6.2 image which will be back like stock without root.

I don't think Android was meant to be a multi-user system, even though it is based off of linux, which is. Doing what you want to do might be possible, but I doubt anyone has written an app for it.
