I use my spare n1 as a mini web server... works great actually. Uses pretty much 0 power and is perfect for hosting files you may need while put and about.
[Nexus One General] mrhohoha:
The jumpstart method takes a while for me, and doesn't really work by removing/inserting before charging LED comes back on. One (possible) method to the madness I've seen is rapidly inserting and removing the battery, till eventually, the alternate green/orange blinker is blinking regardless of whether the battery is inserted or not. Removing and reinserting quickly once this happens powers it back on.

However, even if you are out of warranty, I recommend you return to the service center. Self-replacement of the I/O board costs about the same ~$35 for the board, so you might as well pay for professional service. Will GREATLY enhance your resale value too!

I had to have out of country service (I'm based in India), and all they charged me were the 'out-of-country' charges, and even though the N1 was never sold in India, they keep the part here. Mine was fixed within 18hrs from submitting it to the official service center here. Cost me Rs. 1350 (out of country device charges in India).
[Nexus One General] Phateless:
I have noticed that you can adb reboot a phone while it's charging.

Try it.
[Nexus One General] mrhohoha:
Nope, doesn't work on the N1 (not mine, at least). Neither does fastboot. Believe me, if that worked, I wouldn't have bothered getting the power button replaced! :P It was a terrible ordeal, having no power button and a VERY unstable ICS ROM. Every time it powered off/froze, I spent 20 minutes willing it to turn on!
[Nexus One General] Phateless:
Lol that sounds terrible! Maybe it's just the newer phones like my glacier and sensation that actually charge in recovery mode.

I just know that when powered off they respond to adb. Did you try it already, just to humor me?
[Nexus One General] mrhohoha:
I had tried a while ago, when my power button died on me. I did again, after reading your post. :P No go. The N1 is well and truly OFF when it's powered off! Checked adb devices and fastboot devices just to be sure. Nope, nothing. Device doesn't show up. Not even in recovery mode.
[Nexus One General] Phateless:
Bummer. I wonder why the newer devices charge in recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChromeShark:
I somehow managed to get a paint scratch on my Galaxy Nexus, in the titanium colored plastic around the top.

It doesn't look deep so I was thinking I could paint over it, can anyone recommend a brand and color of paint I could use that would give a finish exactly like the original?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
I think you're better off just leaving it be. You'll probably get more scratches in the future anyways.

You're the candidate to custom paint your whole phone. You could be. The only person in the world with a yellow nexus.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmayrhofer:
Hello guys :)

A few days ago I tried to update my I9000 from Gingerbread to ICS (this version if you want to know it exactly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363593 ^^)

Everything worked out fine till I got a bootloop through a (today) known bug. But now to my real problem: I tried to flash a stock-rom to my phone to solve the problem, but suddenly the process was interrupted by a blue screen!! It was a bit like going into the test menu through typing the code into the dialer, but it was during the flashing-process!

I haven´t found anything about this problem (I have only found a bug were the display is a bit bluish, but this is caused by the kernel. And I found something were the PC got a bluescreen, but I have found nothing about a blue screen on the phone.)

Fortunatelly the download mode was still working and I could flash another rom with ODIN, but does anybody know what kind of bug this is? :confused:

Thanks

Hey guys i bought the Samsung Galaxy S II from T-Mobile thinking that has HSPA+ bands I, IV and V.. like the box and website says.

Here we use HSPA+ band V (850) so, i inserted my sim card but i only pick 3G bands ( HSDPA )

Checking the bands that the phone has using *#2263# i noticed that i have WCDMA, GSM but also i have LTE bands ...

I never heard that T-Mobile Galaxy S II has LTE bands..

Any ideas why it says LTE instead of HSPA+?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
YES, I WAS RIGHT! Samsung was to lazy to change the modem between the skyrocket and the T-Mo SGSII, so if you flashed one of our modems, you'd technically have a functional LTE radio.

Wow, this is crazy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twolfekc:
Does this mean we can put an att sim in are phone and use lte?!?! WIN!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
You'd have to flash a Skyrocket radio, because when I was using a T-Mobile radio, it wouldn't connect to LTE.

But that means, if I'm right, the Skyrocket and T-Mo SGS II have support for 850, 900, 1700, 1900, and 2100 HSPA+.... that's a pentaband phone.

****. YES.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
Go ahead and try it folks.

Sent from my Hercules with xda Premium.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
Now I'm intrigued... does the roaming agreement between the 2 carriers say anything about LTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Your talking about the post merger agreement right? It just may... and those of us on T-Mobile may be able to hijack Lte once the agreements are in place lol.

Its cool how there are so many similarities between the two phones. They are almost identical which is great for developement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
Yeah, but I don't think AT&T would allow another carrier to roam on a very new LTE network, especially when they don't even have 10% of their own customers on the network.

And it's really cool, because they are the same phone. xD

Although, I don't know why our accelerometer is flipped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Maybe that is the only stipulation AT&T put out there between both phones?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audi_on_u:
Hey guys..if it helps I have T-Mobile galaxy s2 and skyrocket from att ..would like to test out and see if this may work. Not to sure if there's any lte support in Connecticut area..but this would be a niffty find...thanks op
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
Could be, but with the short amount of time between release of the 2 phones, Samsung must have developed 2 phones, same hardware, flipped the accelerometer in one, and branded one AT&T, and the other T-Mobile.

Gotta say, that's a great way to save with development. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marcopolo1:
maybe you are right. i just bought this phone so, its probably the new version.. however.. here in peru where i am at, we use HSPA+ 850 but i cant pick that signal .. only 3G ( HSDPA ).. so means, TMO SGS II is penta 3G band but only One band HSPA+ ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
No, try this.

Go to the skyrocket forums, find the radio thread, and flash one of those modems.

If I'm right, it should kick on the 850MHz portion of the radio
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marcopolo1:
i cant test it.. i am in peru and we dont have LTE so far, just HSPA+ 850..

hope someone in USA will test this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audi_on_u:
Give me info on how to test and will report back...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minhajmsd:
Even if u have hspa+ it will say 3g on this phone because ur carrier may only be supporting 21mbps and not 42. You probably are getting hspa+ speeds but ur phone just shows it as 3g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeremyritzmann:
Theoretically it should work. Lol, an ode to the original vibrant, sometimes their laziness pays off! I've noticed the sensation has LTE mentioned also. Haven't dug if it but I wonder if it actuall does support LTE ? If I'm not mistaken LTE uses AWS protocol right?

yeah im looking for the telus radio now. using the rogers version on bell, but bell supports 42mbps rogers doesn't.

Hoping a telus radio will help out (no LTE with bell where I live, but close)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] y2whisper:
The main thing you could do there is check out the custom roms in the dev thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marcopolo1:
That is not true.. I have my captivate and does not show lte bands menu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I flashed the rogers skyrocket modem and select LTE ALL: the radio starts, it informs me i have lost any usable signal. and according to the radio debug log it just cannot capture any signal on any lte bands as there are none in my area for telus.

If i have the telus modem flashed, selecting LTE does nothing.

if i could further my tests there i would.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
It will work. Flash the ATT skyrocket modem or the Rogers skyrocket modem.

would have been a disaster if you flashed it on a i9100, probably.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
AT&T isnt giving us the code, because apparently its an exclusive device, or Samsung hasn't given them codes yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marcopolo1:
Buy the code from Ebay.. Or Google blowfish unlock codes. I unlock my T989 using that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
Thank you!!!!!!!! Ugh, no modem support, no antenna support, nothing. The LTE menu is just sloppiness/laziness from Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quest4fire:
If that is the case then why is the AT&T Skyrocket an LTE device? That phone is exactly the same as ours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marcopolo1:
for me is enough to know if changing the modem i can change the HSPA+ from 1700/20100 AWS to 850/1900 (hspa+)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
When you compile c code, it normally leaves some instances of the source path you compiled in. For example when i compile my kernel, if i open the zimage in a hex editor i can find the directory patch to soem of the C files used to compile it embedded right into the compiled binary. with that said...

If you open the modem from the skyrocket and the sgsII tmobile and telus modems you will find like this for examople

"offset_request: %d not found in tx scripts rfa\rf\rfc\mdm9x00_rfc8853_a\src\rfc_mdm9x00_8853_a_gsm"

So lets see here, all 3 devices modems are compiled from mdm9x00 source trees

So this means that the MDM chipset for all 4 devices skyrockets and sgsII's alike MUST be MDM9200.

So there you have it folks.

Lazy engineers and programmers dont play with source tree folder names it could make for a costly mistake in production, so the only feasable option for this source tree showing up int the mdm.bin is the fact that its in fact the MDM9200 that these devices all use.

Further more flashing a MDM 8220 modem to a 9x00 chipset would result in the radio NOT functioning at all as they are a different chipset and the assembly code for them would not be the same. Assembly code for those of you who don't know id hardware specific programming code used to write binaries for embedded devices among other things.

thats where the amss.bin that our modems get flash comes in. thats part of the radio it goes hand in hand to drive the modem hard ware with the mdm.bin

Does any one want to give me a high five for doing more research?

And this post is meant to be as least confrontational as possible, but ive already had another user act like they knew what they were talking about in here AND was rude about it to boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kikiodead:
Soooo it'll work? or it won't. Im fricking confused here. I think youre sayin it should.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Im saying the Skyrocket and the Telus/Tmobile SGS II 4g have the EXACT same modem hardware.

Skyrocket is lte.

So common sense says we have the same hardware. So It is highly likely it will work. People need to test still to confirm, but its looking promising.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
The t-mo and telus sgs2 used mdm9200 as well, read up i proved it with about 5 min of investigation into the actual modem binaries. and if this were the case cross flashing these modems would result in the modem not starting/functioning at all. And this is not the case we have users cross flashing modems across devices for testing already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
my only interest in this very intriguing finding is if it's true then we have more shopping options ;)

unlock it and flash whatever we want

it'll be a one hell of a kind phone that works every where :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
all 4 (5 if you include the DoCoMo device) share the exact same chipset for cpu and modem.

The only difference is what bands and freq support they chose to enable or disable at compiling time in the modem source tree for the carrier, and the carriers android os customizations.

Next time im in Buffalo, if they have LTE i'll see if they will let me try a sim at a store to test. But i assume some one else will get to testing before i get to Buffalo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Source of pictures

And users are already cross flashing these modems its not bricking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kikiodead:
Good especially since ATT's LTE just launched here in phoenix and I'm going to see how this all works when I'm in town.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I'm still waiting for him to source me these tear downs and explain why the modems for all the 5 devices are built from the mdm9x00 source tree and not the mdm8220 source tree for the non skyrocket variants.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Sure if the hardware isnt there, but the fact that the mdm9x00 source wasu sed to build the radio binaries suggests the chipset is. So explain to me why a mdm8220 would be running mdm9200 binaries and how that is supposed ot even work? Cool thing abotu source is as far as i have ever seen its always organized properly, compile a kernel for the msm8660, your source tree is going to build objects from the msm8x60 tree. Pretty straight forward.

Secondly, i am searching, i am not finding these tear downs you are referencing as proof of your claims, so do us all a favor and post the links os every one can see how right you are, source your facts. I am giving you the benefit of at least sourcing where i make my claims from, your dispute is you saw a picture of a main board that is from a tear down with msm8220 silkscreened on a bga package.

So lets see it.

Now the fact of the matter is smasung probably (and i only say probably because i'm waiting to be proved wrong by these pictures) used the mdm9200 across the board on all the devices because thats what they had, and it is possible that some of the t989 carriers were truly expecting to offer a software update for when the lte networks launched.

Another possibility is samsung used these mdm9200 modem across the board but just did not include the antenna array for lte on the t989 series. this also may account for what the tmobile is called the t989 and the telus one is the t989d, it could be a small difference in the antenna array since it has been rumored that telus will be enabling lte on the t989d when the lte network launches this year. Telus has a list of 3 devices on the site that say 4g ready. even though they have more then that labeled as 4g for 42mbps for sale like the Fascinate 4g and what not. But only the HTC Amaze, the T989D and a rocket hub are listed as up and coming 4g read. So it looks liek this may be a possibility.

Just as a note the International SGS2 is using the mdm8220
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
After reading his last post, I think he's way too far gone. Nothing's going in. Not only did he really just say the international GS2 with the Exynos processor uses a Qualcomm DC-HSPA modem (are you KIDDING me... the whole reason why the T-Mobile GS2 has a Qualcomm processor is because the MDM8220 is NOT compatible with the Exynos processor..), he's also now started his own rumors that the T989D will have LTE enabled and that Telus lists the Fascinate 4G (Galaxy S 4G) as a dual carrier/cell HSPA+ capable phone.. Further, he's claimed that "dual cell" HSPA+ is referred to by carriers as, dual cellular networks and not just dual carrier HSPA+

I think folks are either getting trolled HARD or he really is this stupid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
I agreed that its possible that the chip-set was used but the hardware to connect to lte was missing as possibility, i also said its also possible that its all there and its just software disabled as some carriers may want to enable it.

Sure messy code is possible, but that still doesn't explain why they work cross flashing. they shouldn't.

Some one needs to actually try to get LTE in a known working area. Untill then The possibility is open. Sure is a lot of LTE stuff in these modem binaries for being compiled for a chipset that does not support LTE at all.

I'm still waiting for the pictures you took then. Have any of the DoCoMo as well and the T989D.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
The person who wants to see these pictures you keep talking about, this is why i keep asking.

Just open the modems in a simple hex editor. Look at the source patchs they are using, hell just do a sting search for LTE. why would they include the source paths for the lte frequencies?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4714/why-i-believe-tmobiles-galaxy-s-ii-uses-a-qualcomm-soc

this may be the article he's talking about

but since the modem works, and the article is just early speculation, im guessing samsung did put a mdm9x00 in here after all

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

in either case, it seems wikipedia thinks our phone uses a APQ8060, but we seem to actually have a MSM8660_surf(rezound has this processor, and it uses the MDM9600 modem)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
Smasung will shove in what ever works, they have at the time, and is cheapest for them to do so. so like i said its possible they used the 9200 and just didn't include all the rest of the lte stuff for it. or maybe they included it and disabled it in software.

THe LTE firmware files and everything are present in our radios, so who knows. But the fact that LTE is even in the product identification when you plug it into your pc and that the skyrocket modems work with it, is enough to see if LTE actually works, so hopefully some one can test this.

Wikipedia is at best of times a reference to be taken with a grain of salt. a lot of the INTERNET is. for the fact that a loto f people have the right to opinions and speculation.

there are alot of wrong phone specs out there. We see it all the time. I am still unable to find pictures of an open t989, t989d and a docomo t989 to look at and see the writing on the wall, so im still going to assume this may have lte until we test it physically and its proven one way or another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
dude, im not going against you here, i said maybe they did put one in after all -.-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kikiodead:
How do we test this because the LTE is here in phoenix and id like to test. pm me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Mr. X-:
i know man, im just stating my opinion here

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

First i'd probably keep your stock modem on, put in an at&t sim thats activated on an LTE plan and test. That failing id then move on to flashing one of the skyrocket modems if you wish to test further and be more adventurous, and test again.

I don't know if the Rogers modem works with AT&T but id assume it does as rogers uses them as a roaming partner.

If that fails my last test would be to flash a full skyrocket rom and radio and test. aside from the orientation sensor being backwards I have read they boot fine.

then let us know.
