hey, I cracked my screen (digitizer) today and everything still works. However, when i try to unlock or touch ANYTHING on the screen, nothing registers. I was wondering if the reason my touchscreen doesnt work is because of my broken digitizer? I thought the touchscreen still works although you have a broken screen, does it not?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Sometimes it does. Apparently not in your case. The digitizer is the part of your screen that handles touch input, so it makes sense. Get another one on ebay and switch em out.

Ok, I know that has been asked a zillion times, but after three hours (or even more, I don't know anymore) of searching and reading I couldn't find solution.

I'm running Gingerreal 2.0 with b84 kernel, freshly installed. Previously used Infinity ROM, but due to instability and FC problems I went back to stock-based rom.

Tried amplifying through Audacity, not much difference, tried DSP - crashes, tried Volume+, but it amplifies all volumes, and I need only notification.

Is there any work around, app, cwm flashable zip, anything?

And yeah, bar is maxed out in settings/sound menu.

Cheers!

There you have it gentlemen. It is all about $$$$$$$$

AT&T Looks To Drive Revenue With Higher-Priced Data Plans

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--AT&T Inc. (T) is raising the ante again on data.

When customers sign up for a new plan starting Sunday, they will have to pay as much as 33% more each month, part of a strategy by the telecommunications giant to compensate for the 40% annual increase in wireless data use on its networks and to capitalize on consumers' tastes for data-hungry devices like the Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhone.

AT&T noted under its new pricing structure, consumers will be able to use more data; however, they also will have to pay a higher bill, a continuing trend in the wireless industry. Since 2007, when the wildly popular iPhone debuted, AT&T has more than doubled average monthly data revenue per user to $25.14 in last year's third quarter from $12.01.

The wireless carrier has relied heavily on data to boost profits in recent years, as the market for new customers dries up. Data accounted for 39% of AT&T's revenue from wireless customers through the third quarter, up from just 20% in 2007.

AT&T and others have argued they need to carefully manage usage on their networks in the face of a coming shortage of available wireless airwaves, known as spectrum. The carrier is on the hunt for more spectrum following its failed $39 billion bid for T-Mobile, which it had said would bolster its network and ease capacity constraints.

Under the new plans, users will pay $5 more per month, though their monthly data allotment will rise. The least-expensive smartphone data plan, for instance, will jump to $20 for 300 megabytes of data--about an hour and a half of streaming video--from $15 for 200 megabytes.

"It seems like they are going to just keep raising prices; and for what?" said Kamille Cooper, 22, an iPhone 4 user who has maintained her $30 unlimited AT&T data plan for about four years. "It makes you wonder when they are going to come after the people like me." she doesn't know:cool:

AT&T introduced the first data caps in 2010, arguing consumers who traded down to lower-priced plans could save money. :D:D:D

"We think it made sense to give customers more data upfront and to give them more value," an AT&T spokesman said. "Data usage continues to increase."

New AT&T smartphone and tablet customers needing more data will pay $30 for three gigabytes of data, up from $25 for two gigabytes, and $50 for five gigabytes, from $45 for four gigabytes. That compares with Verizon Wireless's two-gigabyte and five-gigabyte plans for $30 and $50 per month, respectively.

They throttle because data is expensive to transmit and they want to make profit /thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nerdydesi:
I remember reading an interview with a Verizon Wireless executive a few months ago. He stated that since killing off their unlimited $30 data plan last July, they want customers to move from the new $30/2gb plans to their higher $50/5gb and $80/10gb plans, thanks to data intensive applications like YouTube and NetFlix. They want to increase their ARPU. At least he was honest that he wants to squeeze more out of customers to increase their bottom lines. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
You can stay on the 2GB plan, they aren't forcing you off it. In reality, its cheaper for these new plans. If you went over on the 2GB plan, another gig is $10, the new plan is 3GB for $30, $5 cheaper. Good for people who go over often.

Same with the 5GB plan, its $5 also, and includes no deep packet inspection from att. Honestly. I'm glad to see them raise data limits, at least they are offering more data. I'll stick to my $30 for unlimited though. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dxtra:
2gb or even 5gb of data won't be enough for users the way things are going, HD videos, HD apps, video chat ect. Prepare to pay minimum $150 for one line in a couple of years from now. The carriers are in control pretty much from here on. The funny thing is a pay $30 for my internet at home and is fast and unlimited. Carriers - data is expensive to deliver wireless, I say BS excuses to raise our phone bill
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
The consensus from a few customers i have in the industry is that it costs them roughly 3 cents per MB used...why should the guy using more not be charged more. I of course view it the same way as you..innevitibly it "should" eventually go back to unlimited just as home service and talk time did. Here is where it gets just plain stupid...their issue is not the data we use but the traffic we generate on sites, which in turn creates advertising monies. Where is that money going? They (carriers) can't touch it.

The solution. Charge the user.

You bottom line is if a company does not make money they don't stay a company long. if you figure up what 1 mega byte is on the old plans compared to the new ones I think you will find the new is a better deal. None the less what allot of you folks don't understand is there is allot of cost you don't think about for instance out goes all the way down the line, raises for the execs down to the assholes who climb the towers to install strobe lights on them or how much money it cost to install the lte in all the new places.

Since I saw A request of a teardown (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443139) I decided to do one at my work and since i own the TMO SGS2, I wanted to share.

And i must say this phone is all housing, compared to the Skyrocket and way different than the Skyrocket on the inside. (People had been saying they are similar or the same)

PLEASE THIS IS NOT A GUIDE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS FOR DISSASEMBLY OR ANY WAY TO FIX YOUR DEVICE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE IF YOU ATTEMPTED IT.

I work doing this and I've been almost a year and a half working in repairing and Programming androids:D. (and Blackberry:mad:)

Yes the Phone I used had liquid damage

And Finally the s2 (Top) and Skyrocket (bottom) SIM reader, Camera, USB port, ear speaker etc are different (you obviously can see it)

I didnt Separated the LCD/ Digitizer from frame because the risk of breaking lcd/Digitizer is VERY HIGH! I just wanted to show the phone on the inside!

Hope this Contributes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:

How many screws, and types of screws, did you have to remove?

How difficult is it to replace the screen assembly? Does the entire phone have to be disassembled to get to it? Can you provide a few pictures?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilizblack:
Just the six you see on the back. Once you pop the back the board feels almost loose. I had to be careful cause when poping the back the board almost went with it. the screen alone with the frame felt rather flimsy I guess taking that screen of can be compare between the hassle with the Evo 4g and the Inspire (which I find the Inspire to be one of the stressing phones out for screen replacement.) Due to the fact you can damage the frame in the process. You have to dig the screen out. Unlike the i9100 which came out fast with a little heat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilizblack:
But still its a risk I mean replacing it its not cheap at all! Almost $230 for the screen assembly. I am still trying to handle these screens (at least i was able to separate the i9100 screen from the frame with out causing further damage than it had, so I guess thats a start.)

If i get a phone for screen replacement Ill surely take pics.

While the technology is capable of being applied to flexible media the amoled displays in our phones are applied to hard glass media and in fact are more likely to break than the gorilla glass leaving the amoled display shattered behind the gorilla glass.

Since nobody answered my question above, let me tell you what I did...

I applied 'Arctic Silver Ceramique' on ALL the chips I've seen on

the MB, just to make sure I don't miss the important one.

I applied a thin layer and put the phone back together.

When I was using it intensely before, the heat was very intense

on the top half of the phone.

It looks like now, the heat is spread evenly across the back of the

phone from top to bottom and cools down in a few seconds, not

minutes like before.

Other than that I can't tell you, coz' I'm a n00b when it comes to

phones.

All in all it is a good experience for me.

My sister's s2 has one crack across the screen and no display, but the phone still boots up and it still reads my touch. I know this because when I hold down the lock button and tap the screen where the "power off" option would be, the phone powers off.

What do you think this means? Gotta replace the screen? or is something just loose? The phone wasn't dropped but was slammed between a door.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shnn2011:
You will find or if you open it. But if your don't find any loose connection then you most likely need a new screen.

I'm toold the screen and digitizer are glued together and that pulling them apart would sisterly you're phone screen.

Question for the OP:

Is there a legitimate reason for the little hump on the back of the T989? If not, does it look like we could install a i727 back cover onto the back of a T989 so that us T989 owners could have more options for cases?

I do understand there are differences between the back covers, I'm just putting the idea out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shnn2011:

Hey OP! Question for you (or anyone that knows). I'm currently having constant issues with my bluetooth which include not turning on (staying on gray icon), having to turn off the phone several times for it to finally turn on, disconnecting after it's connected, not reconnecting after device gets disconnected (in this case my car's bluetooth). This happens with every and any ROM. Do you think this is a hardware issue? If yes, is there any part I can replace or fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shnn2011:
If it is your antenna then you can fix it. If not you may need a new motherboard you can salvage from a cracked 989.

I don't think he had it anymore. I posted that a long time ago. There is no feasible way to change the digitizer class on the S2; there is too much glue. You will most likely end up ripping the amoled screen.
