[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djtyres:
Last week I got the i727r from my work and was wondering if I have to be careful which roms I use. I am not on the rogers network but have unlocked it and using it with another network currently.

Am I ok installing at&t based roms in this case or do I have to be picky on what I install.

I have previous experience with rooting and installing roms, but seems like there might be some hickups.

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roughneckboren:
From what I understand by reading the rogers based roms usually play nice with att but I don't know about the carrier your using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lart2150:
There are some minor differences make sure the rom says it will work with the rogers version of the phone.

If it's a work supplied phone you most likely should not be flashing roms on it as if you ever need to fall back to odin or if you brick it then that's not cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djtyres:
It's not I work phone I just work for a dealer so it's unlocked working with my current provider. I had no problems getting root working and tried a few roms just nothing seems to satisfy my geek yet for the i727.

Seems like most of the roms are debloated versions of the stock rom, but the stock rom works so well I am not unhappy with it.

I do understand the risks of rooting and roming I have been doing it since the HTC G1 (Oldschool android lol) just my first Samsung experience all I can say is WOW!

Thanks for the advice and the answers!

Keep the community rocking

If you flash att roms youll need to change your apn settings. And should flash red sonja rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3rdcoast:
Debloated rogers rom is fine for now. I'm running the Go launcher with ICS theme and Roboto font and it is nice. We'll have to wait for new official roms to get some better 3rd party roms and that includes that Red rom.

Which ROMs are recommended for a SGHi727r? I have recently acquired the cell (and love it) but the guy in the store says its sooo much more capable when it isn't stock. (with stock settings, the cell would last only half a day... until I got JuiceDefender, now it lasts a full day hehe)

I was wondering which ROMs you more experienced guys would suggest. (and that would be ROMs that do not increment the flash counter of course, still not sure of how this works, however I do know how to verify it) My phone was rooted by using SuperOneClick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] doditz:
Be carefull

just be really careful what roms you are using i almost brick my phone twice using a i727 rom not really compatible with the i727R

so if you are not good with computer and dont know how to restore kernel, original roms and cwm to do hard reset and clean cache (cause sometime the ok button in android 3e recovery is not working at all ) with odin you will be ****ed !

im still looking for a stable version so if anyone have a good one please keep us inform :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nrm5110:
You will never brick flashing any 727 roms as far as use they should all work with proper setup pay attention to what your doing and bam problem solved

I have tried almost every rom on here, and have only had problems with certain MIUI due to the recovery i use. For Battery i found Alien ICS had the best battery it can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608088

If you want to stay on ginger bread then i would recommend TPC found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357506

Now I know your not on rogers but if you need name display and want to use ICS you will have have to use an UCLE2 ROM/Modem. The best way is to read a lot i did and make your own decisions and just remember as long as you can get into Download mode you can use Odin to go back to stock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I have been using the CM9 ROM's since they came out, and they are fast, no buggier than any others, and I can get quite literally 24 hours on a charge with over 2 hours of screen time. Right now I have been on battery for 2.5 hours and I am still at 96%.

I personally don't think you can go wrong with CM9, but that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about those...

Royal Bank APP

Hey guys.

Just wondering is there a solution for downloading apps which are made for canadian based roms but i am use Sky ICS.

Basically it says that the software is not supported for this device. Is there a way to change the ID in the phone software so Google Play sees the device as a I727R (rogers).

Be nice if rogers would get their act together and release their rom so the community can start creating custom roms with it.

Thanks.

Glad to report I got my prime! I was a little worried when I noticed some pretty bad scratches and dents on the outside of the box but turns out there's Little or no problems, there may be a minor wifi problem but nothing to serious. No dead pixels no screen bleeds as far as I can tell and gps works fine :) Don't listen to everyone who bags on this device, runs smoother than every other android tab. Super light and thin :) she's a beauty. Only problem that I have with it is they shouldve put two speakers on it not one :P but the one that's on there is louder than the two speakers on the tf101 combined! And nice bass, great quality :)

glad you like it your one of the few i am too im not going to sit here and complain about the device when its a beast some people just like to pick at issues!

but if you think its loud download volume+ use the settings good quality volume +7 bass +5 and then you will hear some serious speaker volume

Update* Jan 1 2012

An update from this Project is that I found out that Google doesn't use XMPP for the chatting, but only for authentication. I did some stuff to the Google+ *cough* apk, and saw some interesting code. They have implementations of their project "protobuf", and some private client called "Bunch". Also if you guys don't know yet, Huddle will be available for devices other than Android or iOS through SMS. Google you fail when you know that XMPP already a Group Chat. Oh well, what ever the reasons are the project continues, and will be out as soon as possible.

Initial description* Dec 31 2011

Awhile ago I had posted a thread asking for help and stopped development of this project. I decided to finish this and start all over. I had some help from a another friend coder and RustyGrom as well for his finding of his XMPP string. I'm coding this in C# and I'm writing the client from scratch, no libraries or anything. Here's my current progress and picture of the testing client:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jekyoo_style:
I'm surprised no one has really reviewed the Verizon screen protectors for the Galaxy Nexus. Usually I wouldn't get a screen protector from a carrier but I was in desperate need of one and didn't want to wait a couple days for it to be shipped to me. I was gonna pick up the anti glare since I hate fingerprints but I didn't want to ruin the display. I usually get anti glare but I made an exception with the galaxy nexus.

After installing it, I can say I underestimated how nice these screen protectors are. This is my first galaxy nexus screen protector but I've had SGP screen protectors for my iPhone and I can say the quality and fit of the Verizon screen protector is the as good if not identical.

The cutouts are spot on with the ear speaker and camera. There is an elongated cutout for the ear speaker and proximity sensor and individual cutout for the ffc.

The screen protector does not cover the whole bezel of the screen. There is a gap around the phone. All dry application screen protectors for the GN are like this. This is because of the curved glass design. The edges will bubble if it went all the way to the bezel. The only fix to this is getting a wet application screen protector.

Installation varies depending on your experience with install dry screen protectors. I've installed over dozens so it took no more than 5 mins and I was able to put it on lint free. With the screen protector on, you can hardly tell that it's on. The crystal clear doesn't effect the quality of the screen at all.

Gliding your finger across the screen is smooth and not rubbery like wet applied screen protectors. Like all crystal clears, it smudges easily but a simple wipe on your jeans or shirt will clear it.

Overall, I give the screen protector a 8/10.

Pros:

Considerably cheap since it comes in a packet of 3 for $12.99 -- I am sure eBay has cheaper screen protectors but I had 0 experience with those so I can't compare.

Good quality and fit that rivals SGP and other top brands

Cons:

smudges easily (a given for crystal clear screen protectors)

To me, there isn't a perfect screen protector. There's always a give and take when you pick a crystal clear or an anti-glare. Basically down to choice on what you're willing to sacrifice. I've had the SGP oleophobic (for the iPhone) before and it was an upgrade from the crystal clear but not by much. I was wiping my phone less but only by 2-3 times a day. It possibly is the middle man of the anti-glare and crystal clear (more towards crystal clear though).

Hope this helps anyone on the fence of getting the Verizon screen protector. Also if you don't like it, you can always return it to Verizon. :) I usually blow my money on getting an SGP but I think I shall keep this one on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phiquantu:
Welp....I already had a thread about this. I can't believe why so many people have to dig online searching for the "perfect" screen protector (even wet ones) while they have an excellent option available at their local stores. I know that the Verizon one is not edge-to-edge, but this provides some "forgiveness" when applying it. Plus, with any case on the gap between screen protector and the screen's edge will be completely un-noticeable. With Verizon's clear protector, I cannot tell the difference from stock with both the screen ON and OFF.

I guess the search for screen protector online is more of a "bling" factor than "quality".....people like to be different and have a "rare" screen protector than a decent one that everyone can conveniently buys at stores :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netninja:
Will this fit the HSPA Galaxy nexus?

I got these this morning and i can say these are pretty good for their value.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akanatrix:
The Verizon clear screen protectors are pretty good. My only complaint is the amount of smudging and oils it accumulates. The oleophobic one I used on my Thunderbolt was better in that respect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
I got these as well just now, pretty good IMO. I had zagg earlier and these are way better. I couldn't stand the rubbery feel on the zagg.

thanks to this post I purchased it today for $10 and holey hell its amazing. Like its the clearest I have ever seen period and it feels so slick no bubbles lawdy lawdy lawd thank u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
I bought them because I wanted something to put on them ASAP for resale with the intention of replacing them shortly. However, I'm very satisfied. My only gripe is sometimes if oil is smeared the wrong way, it will rainbow and my speaker cut outs were a little too close. Besides that, I'm very satisfied for $13. I installed wet, but that's only my preference because dry installations are a mess for me. Overall, a great buy with 100% success rate.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SouthernEvo:
I just went and got a pack of the Crystal clear ones from Verizon . I bought the accessory package and they came with the antiglare screen guards . The Antiglare will seriously reduce the image clarity of this phone without a doubt . I took what remaining screen protectors I had of the antiglare and they swapped them out for the Crystal Clear ones . First I installed them myself didnt take long just make sure the screen is very clean before install . I got one speck of lint but even the clears seem to mask that rather well since its only a small piece and up out of the screen viewing area . Very nice you have to look to see they are on the phone . Touch of it reminds me of the bare screen of the Nexus . Also the Crystals arent showing bubbling like the antiglares did . Seems like on the antiglares the piece around the earpiece never settled down right . Overall if you get the accessory package (holster/case , Charger , screen protectos) request they remove the antiglares and put crystal ones in the box instead . You wont regret it .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BillLee3:
How did you apply them wet?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SouthernEvo:
I applied them dry , I refuse to put water on my devices. I take a microfiber cloth and clean the screen of any major debris . Then go over the screen with a superfine microfiber cloth . The fine ones are usually included with the screen protectors but I used one I had from a Zag screen protector I had on my EVO 4G when it first came out . Its big enough to cover the whole screen once I am done cleaning it to prevent any dust from falling on the screen . With the fine microfiber on the screen I get the screen protector out , get it ready for application . With these I I get the tab primmed up so the second I pull the cloth off the screen and give it slight shot of air (No I aint saying blowing) the screen is spotless and I lay down the SP . Smooth out the air bubbles with the card that comes in the package and peel up the top piece leaving a clean spotless screen protector . I usually end up doing friends phones since they always get bubbles lint and who the hell knows whatelse stuck in them ROFL .

SIDENOTE: Make sure you dont have any ceiling fans or anything running that might stir up dust and lint particles in the air .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tim k:
I agree with most people's experience with the Verizon screen protectors. I was going to order a 3rd party version but didn't want to leave the screen unprotected while awaiting shipment. With my corp discount they were under $10 for 3 so I just grabbed a pack at the Verizon store when I got my phone. I must say, I am pleased. Very clear, smooth surface, no problems. Initially I was annoyed that it didn't cover edge to edge but I figured there was probably a good reason (and recall protectors on other devices always seeming to come up at the edge).

Overall, for $3 each I can't think of any reason to buy more expensive protectors at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Using water or solution isn't bad. For the normal dry protectors, I usually run it under water, then flick it a few times to get more of the water off. Get a paper towel ready then slap it down. Dab the paper towel around the edges as you apply it.

If you flick the SP a few times, all you have are very very small droplets. This also prevents dust from sticking due to static.

A few years ago, I ordered a SP from china and this was the instructions. It worked so well that I do it every time now.

Can someone tell me if the full Ebay site works on the GT 8.9 including the built-in photo editor and ability to change font colors and sizes as if you were using a desktop or laptop? I do a lot of Ebay auction stuff and need a tab that can be used to start auctions just as if I were on a laptop. So far I have not had any luck finding any info.

Just got my Champagne model, and have a Gray as well. Going to choose which one to keep.

So far, everything works on the Champagne, EXCEPT the haptic feedback. It pretty much just makes a noise, although every now and then it does actually vibrate the device.

The Gray has a bit of light bleed, and GPS won't get a lock. And haptic feedback on it, although not noisy as with the Champagne, is very weak.

So, I turned it off on the Champagne and am considering keeping it. It's awesome otherwise. Problem is, it still tries to do haptic feedback when manipulating things on the home screens and app launcher (like moving icons, etc.), as well as in the Gallery when selecting images for deletion).

Grrr.
