[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skeakz:
Bought a rooted phone off craigslist today......(doh)

Im extremely noob to anything on this website and was wondering if anyone could walk me through possibly resetting this phone or if anyone lives in the dfw i could pay you to reset this phone.

ive seen on here the tutorials to do this, but i will almost 100% break the phone...

need help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
Don't be scared. Go to the developememt thread...then find konanes return to stock thread. It will have all the things needed to get ur phone back to the out the box state. No worries just READ the thread and follow the directions. U will be good.

I'm in fort worth, and would be happy to help you out if you still need assistance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SacTilt:
Since you bought the phone from someone else, and it was already rooted, there is a CHANCE that they have tracking software also loaded that would survive a hard reset (i.e. TheftAware/Avast).

I would definitely recommend the previous recommendation of returning it to stock by the method described and then re-root later if/when desired.

See screenshots... woke up my sgs2 to find an unbefore-seen set of up-and-down arrows in the upper left of my notification bar. Slide down and selecting it does nothing. Reboot the phone and it comes back. I can find it in running apps and force stop, but can't clear the notification. Anyone have any ideas?

Isn't that the update alert?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hchxoom:
Don't know - I've been rooted since the day I bought it. On SHOstock ROM right now,so wouldn't think I've see updates. Can anyone confirm?

Yeah the device management is the app for ota updates, I always freeze it with titanium backup.

Am I the only one who misses it on the NS4g? is it possible to put back on?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Pull the apk from any sprint based rom and install it through root explorer. It works just fine. I grabbed it from the epic 4g rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donsh00tmesanta:
That's the only way to push it? Can't install like normal?

[Verizon Droid Charge] mixin313:
I just recently rooted my DROID CHARGE with the Infinity ROM and I like alot of the features but the main reason I wanted to root was I was told my battery life would triple and it hasn't improved at all in my opinion. I downloaded Battery Calibration and JuiceDefender (free version). Is there a better ROM out there for battery life or a better app to try to help with my battery life?

Also another thing I cannot find which I miss is the Verizon VISUAL VOICEMAIL. Does anyone know where I can find that app to put back on my phone?

Thanks,

Mixin313
[Verizon Droid Charge] ezas:
A minimal ROM (few and/or dark colors) will most likely give you the best battery life since most of the battery life goes to the display. But i would look at other ways to maximize battery life and run the ROM you like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Golf Nut:
Wife just upgraded from an LG flip phone, so this is her first smartphone. She has used it for a week now, and we have a few questions.

1. The device did not come with a micro SD card when my wife bought it from the Sprint store. I would have thought it would have come with one, even if it wasn't the biggest or fastest. Is this normal?

2. The phone takes a full 2 seconds for the screen to wake up when you take the phone away from your ear to hit the end call button. Seems like way too long. On my EVO 3D it takes less then 1 second for the screen to wake up. Is a 2 second lag time for the screen to wake up normal?

3. The camera is set up to take full Rez pictures, but when she sends me one in a text message, it is really small on my EVO 3D screen. I realize that the text messenger may not be able to handle a full rez 8MP picture, but why doesn't it down rez it to a size that still fills my EVO 3D screen?

4. Will Sprint and Google allow app purchases in the market to be billed to her Sprint account instead of adding a credit card to her Google account?

Sorry if these are newb questions - I tried searching but could not find anything. I suck at searching I guess.

Thanks in advance.

Jason
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Android300ZX:
I believe there is an option to bill to the account once you go and purchase an app.

I would do a master reset on her phone to see if that fixes the proximity sensor delay.

I believe my phone didnt come with an SD card. I bought a Class 4 16GB from Radioshack for $20.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Well. I can tell you for a fact that you can't bill your account with sprint anymore. I was able to for the first week I had my phone but then one day I couldn't and called them. They said they were ending that ability.

Mine didn't come with an SD card. I don't think they do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
1. Does not come with one! Has 16gb storage.

2. Did you put a sd Card in her phone? This is usually the case if a sd card has been inserted it takes a little while longer to wake the phone up. This is normal

3. This is due to the stock mms compressing pics to make the file size smaller. Get an app like handcent from the market.

4. sprint stopped all in app billing. Must use a credit card.

any other questions just ask.

No such thing as a stupid question

Now you need to get one and sell your evo3d!!! LOL j/k.

Happy Holidays.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Yes.. Have her use handcent. She can theme it and make it look really pretty.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
YOU most certainly cant still bill to your account, if your on a corporate discounted account. I do not mean an account that the company pays for (they might but mine does not) basically it is a 20% discount unlimited corporate family yada yada yada for multiple lines. Maybe your credit needs to be good?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geterdone18:
If the skyrocket is rooted can you still get ota updates? If so How? I am new to this. And also what is the current OTA update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XAviierG:
If its just rooted yes and it'll remove your root if you are on a custom ROM then it'll tell you you have one but it wont download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] futureshock25:
If your phone is rooted when an OTA update is released, you won't be able to download it. Unfortunately one have to be on stock to be able to download it, with bloat included and everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geterdone18:
It told me I had a update but said server was down then I went back to it today and it says my phone is up to date
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
From what I understand if you are rooted with stock recovery you can take the ota update. If you are rooted with cwm recovery than you cannot take the ota. The beautiful thing I think is than even if you are rooted with cwm, and an ota releases (that you for some wild reason can't wait to have) its easy as pie to flash back to stock. At that point you should be able to take the ota. Heck maybe even just flashing the stock recovery itself would do the trick.....I dunno

As for current ota, most of us seem to have gotten stuck with 2.3.5. But there were quite a few folks who received the 2.3.6 update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
cdshepherd is correct. I was on stock 2.3.5 with stock 3e recovery... and was fully rooted. I was able to take the ATT OTA 2.3.6 update and kept superuser root access.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
+1. I got 2.3.6 and kept root access, too. I'm also on stock recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MakAttak:
If you are not SO interrested in OTA

cdshepherd is correct, but, when 2.3.6 came out a few weeks ago, several folks were able to get it posted somewhere as a RAR file. you might look around if you are just dying to have it.. I think it was back around 11/21/2011 when I saw it the first time. About 290mb if I recall correctly.

Good luck!

:)

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CXENTE:
I was rooted and still allowed the OTA update 2.3.6.. and still have root access
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Ok people heres the deal. To take an ota update you can be rooted but . You need to have stock recovery, and all bloatware intact. It can be frozen but not deleted. And no one knows yet if the 4.0 ota will remove root. 2.3.6 ota did not. So we can hope.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackdragon79:

[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I happened to walk into Verizon today and got the OEM extended batter for $32 after taxes! I was taking my girlfriend to look at phones again and asked the rep if they had any in, he said yes, as a matter of fact we have a special going right now for them! Couldn't pass it up!

And, FYI I hate extended batteries, but this phone is a monster and we all know it needs the power! I am very pleased! I would suggest everyone try if they don't already have one! :D
[HTC Rezound] Tikerz:
Yep, I picked one up today also. They're 50% off.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
They actually argued with me today. Told the guy to scan it and see, and then he's like, oh I guess they are on sale. Swear sometimes that verizon didn't want my money...
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I had no idea they were on sale, the rep handed it off to another rep and after my Military discount told me a different price. I told him the first dude said it was $29, he went to check and sure enough. Good thing the first guy mentioned it, otherwise I would probably have paid full price.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
is it worth it? i'd have to cut one of my TPU cases to get it to fit lol
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I picked it up earlier around 2pm I put it in the phone to drain it(45% upon installing), and even with 4G outtage and LTE antenna on I am still at 12%... lol. It is now 11:11.

Edit: Another thing I like, the antenna contacts are metal rather than that paper like crap in the stock back. Also, this battery doesn't seem to get as hot.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Great news. I'll have to buy online now. Thanks

Can't find it online. I guess I'll have to stop in a store.

paper? mine are metal i think lol
[HTC Rezound] Tikerz:
I got mine tonight from the Verizon corporate store at the Promenade in Scottsdale. It wasn't on the floor. They had to get it from the back.
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
They have been 50% since launch of Rezound, when I bought my stock Rezound battery for my Thunderbolt they were both on sale and have been since. You can get them online as well, if you get a work discount. Don't log in just go to check out.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
theyre not on their website at all... they took it down after the fiasco where people were getting them for like 5 dollars
[HTC Rezound] Comicazy:
I would think this goes in the accessories sub forum. Just saying. And I got my battery around $30 when I picked up my phone on Nov 18. Definitely gives the phone a more solid feel. They sell cases that fit with the extended battery. And a holster also.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
This wasn't an accessory discussion, this was a heads up to folks that they are on sale if they hadn't already known. Notice the broad general discussion? Weren't you threatening to block me? lol, get out of my thread troll.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
yeah, sucks that they won't give me the sale price and my 25% accessory discount...

Anyways, I have 2 of them now which means I should never have to plug my phone in at work again (or anywhere else for that matter).
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Eventually you WILL have to recharge your batteries, right? :D

Bought mine on Amazon when I bought my Rez, and I think I paid almost full price. Should have gone to a VZW store...
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
External battery chargers, now I never have to be plugged in.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
My phone was pretty good on the stock battery, now I will keep it charged and in my truck for that off chance that my extended battery might die.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Thank for the info I also get 25% off of anything I buy so it should be pretty good deal then.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
They don't stack the discounts. You get the better of the 2 offers. I get an accessory discount too, but they couldn't apply it.
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
you can get just the battery for $15 from htcpedia. i got one case/battery and an extra battery so it's great
[HTC Rezound] rockingondrums:
Hm, this is very tempting. My rezound will be waiting at my door when I get home today, thank you Amazon Wireless.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Your waiting on a Rebound lol i was so pumped for mine and ups didn't come till about 8pm, oh i was so impatient lol. But it came and was worth it.
[HTC Rezound] Comicazy:
Who's trolling? I shared a thought or opinion, then added to the conversation by stating my experience. Was I rude or belligerent about it? No. Extended battery=accessory. Thread about extended batteries=thread about accessories. The logic is sound. BTW you are the only one mentioning blocking.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
sucks you have to buy the back cover seperately lol...so it's the same price as going toa verizon store..actually a couple more dollars

acutally

http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-rezound-extended-battery.html

i think they're giving you Tbolt extended batts tho. no difference, right?
[HTC Rezound] DadamsJR:
Where are you guys getting the cases
[HTC Rezound] cableguy1:
How funny. I just tried doing that last night. I have a fascinate w/ extended battery and I thought I'd try cutting the TPU case so it would just go around the edge and provide grip. Fail! I messed it up, it went right to the trash.

Can't wait to get my Rezound. I get to upgrade next month. I did already buy the extended batt for 50% off, though. So I'm fully committed to the rezound now.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Just bought mine, thanks. You saved me $30!

Sent from my newly unlocked Rezound.. Thank you HTC.
[HTC Incredible S] matrx10503:
Is it possible to take a Verizon Incredible 2 with Bad ESN...unlock it/flash, and use it on AT&T?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It may be possible. Since the Bad ESN means that the CDMA ESN has been reported as lost or stolen to Verizon, Verizon will not activate this phone on their CDMA network. However, if you can SIM unlock the GSM side, then you could use it on a GSM network without regard to the CDMA ESN. The final question is whether the SIM unlock will accept a AT&T SIM card. I remember seeing several discussion thread in the Inc2 forums about using a North American SIM in the phone once it has been unlocked. I just can't recall off the top of my head if you can or not.
[HTC Incredible S] matrx10503:
In conclusion, answer to my question is: Yes, I can.

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Curly21029:
Two things that were holding me back from getting a Vivid:

-Operation speed (laggy compared to Skyrocket/Atrix 2)

-Speaker volume (poor, especially compared to Skyrocket/Atrix 2)

Now that it's unlocked, (thanks for doing the right thing, HTC!) the first quibble will be moot. The question is how likely will the second be corrected by built-in ROM fixes? I already seen one that features "extended volume." Does this mean increased speaker output? Is this a common feature? (new to ROMs) For past Inspire owners, did the ROMs for it commonly feature increased speaker volume? (owned it briefly, same complaint)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] idanoclo:
I have the htc inspire and i had the low volume output when it was stock but with root and custom rom volume was not an issue anymore. Looking to get the vivid shortly and and with root and custom rom it should fix volume issue as well i hope.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Curly21029:
Thank you! I figured that current/past Inspire owners would have input on the subject!

I know the average user probably doesn't use the speaker as much as I do so I didn't know how much of a concern it was for the dev community. It doesn't have to be great quality but it does have to be audible, something that I've found HTC phones (and others) lack. Samsung and Motorola seem to have their stuff together in this department. In fact, I like or am tolerant to everything about the Skyrocket/GSII except for that horrible AMOLED display... but that's a huge feature to consider a downside. I also enjoyed using the Atrix 2 quite a bit as it seemingly doesn't do anything wrong but its display certainly lacks the "wow" factor of the Vivid's and it lacks features that I like such as quick settings in the notification bar. Worse yet, I'm reading about software bugs that, for me, would be maddening. Since it's locked down for the foreseeable future with what's seemingly minimal dev interest at the moment it seems like any complaints would be there at least for a while.

As it stands, I think the only lackluster caveat that the Vivid will ultimately be stuck with will be mic quality during video recording. (sounds horrible in camera tests and is constantly bashed in reviews) I take pics but don't do much with video so I'm fine with this. Ultimately, it's that beautiful screen and solid build quality/heft that's attracting me to the handset. The only other screen that has impressed me as much belongs to the Rezound. However, while the Rezound's extra resolution is no doubt the catalyst for its slight increase in clarity over the Vivid's, color saturation/contrast is a dead heat to my eyes while the latter's white balance seems to be more neutral. After spending more time with the Rezound, it almost looks like a bit of blue was added to HTC's typically neutral grayscale no doubt because the masses perceive it as "brighter" or more "vibrant." Of course this could have just represented the normal variation from handset to handset, but I hope this doesn't begin a trend for HTC as, to me, their displays have always been fairly videophile friendly.
[Focus General] CdTDroiD:
Hi guys, new to WP7 just got me one of these as a daily driver while i hack up my Android devices.. Anyone know how to get 7740 on here? Running 7720 at the moment, its a AT&T device but im NZ so obviously wouldn't apply

Thanks
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
AT&T hasn't released 7740 yet for revision 1.4, just for 1.3, afaik

Do you know the revision of the phone and if it is unlocked/developer?
[Focus General] nicholas32:
Hi

I'm in NZ too and just updated mine to 7740. If you can edit your registry, then just open it up to HKLM (Local Machine)\System\platform. Change the mobile operator to ROG-CA, save and press the windows key. Then hook it up to your computer and let it find the update. Once it has updated change it back.

Boom - 7740
[HTC Rezound] lejason:
I have a Rezound on Verizon and I want to get rid of Sense/Verizon crapware (blockbuster app that I can't delete? realy!?) and instead install plain-jane

stock Android 4.0.

In addition to the stock UI,

I want to be able to Tether

like I used to on my Nexus One without paying an extra $20 per month or whatever.

I know very little about the unlocking/rooting process (are these asks even possible?) but I have been following these forums for a few weeks and I read they just opened up the boot loader and I am wondering what that means for me.

Could anyone give me a quick yes/no to those question and if yes, post a few links to how I might I do it? (I saw the "how-to" for using the HTCDev tool they put out today if that is what I am supposed to do...)

ps: Of course I tried to find an answer before posting and I noticed on similar questions everyone responded saying to get cyanogen ROMs but I would really prefer just going totally pure on this and with stock Google just like you get on a Nexus; is that even possible or am I misunderstanding how the UI layer works?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
This will be possible within the next couple months. When HTC releases the official ICS update for the phone then the accompanying kernel source that will happen.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
First off, thank you for being the first newb ever to correctly create a thread on XDA. Not only that, but in the correct place! I will actually take the time to answer your questions without being pissed off, lol. :D

We don't have ICS yet, but when you unlock your BL and root you might want to consider getting ADW Launcher or ADW EX. Others might recommend another launcher, but ADW has a tone of ICS options. We can remove bloat with the Clean Tool once you are rooted.
