You might have more issues with AT&T than the phone. Overall its a great phone with lots of dev support. there's a reason why AT&T is always at the bottom of the Lissy when out comes to customer services.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Most of the issues can be found by searching.

Hardware issues: Some people have had issues with the USB port breaking. Not common, but it seems that 90% of hardware failures are this.

The AP Mobile widget in UCKH7 will eat your data. If you're here I assume you'll be rooting - so not a problem for you. Kill it with fire and you're good.

The OTA update (UCKK6) sucks infected donkey balls. Lots of battery issues. Again - easy to avoid if you're here.

You wouldn't happen to be a member of the facebook page "android task force" would you? That profile picture looks really familiar
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] _MetalHead_:
Ha! I post there from time to time! I was one of the Android Source admins before it merged with Android Task Force. Haven't used this profile pic on FB for a while now so you've got some good memory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
Hardware = USB problems with the connection port. Blotchy screen on dark blacks in a dark room. Not noticeable until then. It's a side-effect of SAMOLED screens. Burn-in most I can figure. These two problems are fairly rare (on this forum, I'd say 1 out of maybe 15 people complain of one or the other hardware issues).

Software: let's face it - 2.3.6 sucks. The update broke bluetooth HID devices, meaning no bluetooth keyboard or mouse. Occasional reports of wifi breaking, but that's due to the retards who never read and flash willy nilly from our sister forum and phone, the international GS2 without using the development tool Hellraiser. So, be educated man. If you don't read, you will end up ****ing your phone over, and then if you whine about it (which inevitably happens every time someone who doesn't read screws their phone up), prepare to be flamed. At that point you piss everyone who's seen your same thread or situation a hundred times from people who didn't search and read.

There are reports of battery drain issues due to 2.3.6 as well. Some of these are from programs, but if you're an Android user already, you know to kill and save RAM. I've had occasional reboots from when I pushed my phone hard, but nothing of diminishing value.

AT&T Service: Customer service sucks, so I hear. But they've always worked with me. I got them to unlock multiple phones in the past, I was grandfathered in to unlimited, and they've let me skirt waiting periods on my next update. I suppose if you're a new customer it might be different. I wouldn't know. Their service as far as phone calls and data? It ain't the best. To be honest, I don't get many dropped calls per week, but I know I get enough to remember that I get dropped calls weekly. Data can be spotty at times, but overall, in Orlando, it's fast.

My Review: moving from any other phone to this one is like being born again. You believe in technology again. Alright, so it ain't that much of a spiritual experience, but lemme tell you - this phone is fast. Yet, if you want the latest and greatest from Android, specifically 4.0.3, I'd pass on this phone. We will probably get it. Maybe. Our devs will work to make it happen, but sadly I doubt it will be an official update.

If you want solid hardware and a reliable phone however and don't mind gingerbread, this is the phone for you. It is fast, well-built, and has good battery life from my experience. I use it heavily for everything, and i get nearly 14-18 hours of heavy use (phone calls, texts, music, videos, downloads, web-surfing).

4.5 out of 5 stars for this phone from me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] _MetalHead_:
Thanks for taking the time to type all that out autonomous, thats the type of response I was looking for. I am coming from Sprint's SGS2 variant so I'm well aware of how badass these phones are. I could care less about ICS, I had the Galaxy Nexus for a few weeks and returned it because I like the SGS2 + 2.3 + TouchWiz better. I'm probably gonna go to Costco over the weekend and pick it up to try it out and see how AT&Ts service in my are is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
Sprint and AT&T are in the same family with their Exynos chipset, which I'm sure you're aware of. The difference is that we are closer in relation to international. No WiMax chipset in ours, so easier porting.

AT&T is a fairly good provider. Service is decent, even out in the country, but it doesn't make you say "Man, Ma Bell is great about their connectivity everywhere."

While I told you we probably won't get an official Ice Cream update we WILL get one in one shape or form. 2.3.6 problems can be avoided by Hellraising a 2.3.4, 2.3.7 or 2.3.5 ROM. So if you want to avoid battery drain issues and use your bluetooth keyboard or mouse, you have your choices.

Bottom line brother, is with this phone you have options. We have devs, and tools that give you many options. If you're asking me if you should make the jump, I'd have to ask why, because WiMax with Exynos seems like a good setup, but if it's for a sensible reason, you could do worse than Ma Bell. If it's assurance you want, yes, this is and will be a good phone for quite a while. Yes, AT&T is decent, and yes, you will be fairly satisfied.

As a disclaimer, every experience is different, so I suggest you either look around this forum and make your mind that way, or bite the bullet and don't look back by moving to AT&T blindly, and go for the shortest contract you can.

My first I777 overheated while charging. And now my second one has a buzzing in the earpiece. Good specs and I love the TouchWiz UI. Maybe Im just unlucky but it seems the hardware in this phone has issues.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Incorrect, it has nothing to do with 2.3.6, there's no 2.3.7 Samsung roms either. It's at&t's UCKK6 build, international 2.3.6 roms aren't plagued by the issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] autonomous-inc:
I've heard it both ways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Well whoever told you it was 2.3.6 was incorrect, I'm running ICScrewD which is based on KL1(2.3.6) and there are no issues with it at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] _MetalHead_:
Damn, my secret online identity has been blown lol

Yeah, I'm running 2.3.6 on my Epic Touch and it;s beautiful. Battery lasts forever, no glitches or bugs. Must be the specific AT&T build.

You guys get samfirmware leaks all the time like we do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tennockey:
love it

coming from an iphone 4 most recently, I dont particularly think you'll care about the screen clarity. It's way better looking in the color department, and I don't see the blue hue most people talk about on the white pages.

In the last 6 months i've owned an iphone 4, atrix 4g, inspire 4g, htc surround, samsung captivate, iphone 3gs, and this gs2. It's the best phone i've ever had by far. I tend to swap phones every few months as a hobby to play around with, but I'm probably going to keep this one for a long time.

Using Unnamed at the moment, great ROM that's mostly stock, cause I love the touchwiz fluidity

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mkalter:
i've packed it in a .rar file, so you have to unzip it and than you'll see the files: the rom is ICSGS2.zip, you'll have to flash all the files in there, but there's an other folder called:SGS2 APPS(INSTALL BY YOURSELF). If the installation is finised you'll have to use the file manager to go to their and install the ALL apps inside. then it's finised and you could use the rom!!

TIP: first install all.zip files except for ics setting.zip(otherwise status bar is strange) after you booted it for the first time, you'll have to reboot into recovery and install ics settings.zip

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackinglife:
I have a [rooted] novo 7 Basic (running android 3.2) that I need to reverse tether to an ubuntu machine - through USB

Because this tablet (and other tablets) are not 'phones' - they don't have a native tethering option (which is required for most of the reverse tethering examples that are out there)

I can work with the device through adb - tried setting up a tunnel but I can't get any usb interface to show up with ifconfig

Any thoughts? Maybe there is a way to just do it through abd with some ubuntu network configuration?

Many Thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thebotnet:
I have a very unique situation.

I dropped my phone in the trash at work(IT Company), accidentally one day, and a small amount of disturbingly gross liquid managed to make it's way into my phone.

I wiped it down, made sure it didn't smell like crap - etc.

Everything worked FINE at first, I said ah, good. Apparently it was not not good.

Now, the phone gets stuck in a loop where it thinks to itself it's charging for a second, then it's not, keeping the screen on and flashing the charging notification repetitively until it decides to stop for an hour, then come back.

Radioshack screwed me over BIG TIME on my phone insurance, I filed a ripoff report etc, and given I need my phone for work related issues I really cannot afford to have any downtime having it be sent in and repaired. NO, I cannot receive an immediate replacement, and NO, I cannot afford another phone.

So, therefore I come to you, my great friends at XDA.

I've a fairly decent background in programming, I understand the just of it. I've taken classes in ASM(Microcomputer Architecture and Programming), C/Java and Python.

And no, I'm not a college-fed programmer, I've been programming in VB, C/C++, PERL etc. since I was 13(22 now.)

So, to the specifics:

My phone is a Samsung Transform Ultra, Android 2.3, rooted and running a "ROM" if you could call it that, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference(just installed it to get rid of CIQ)

Now, I've never wrote a mobile app before but I have the android SDK (1.6-4.0), and I'm fairly certain I could get a hello world going in a matter of minutes.

I'm willing to do the research myself, I just need some good pointers and some people who might be able to answer a few questions along my journey, and when the app is done I will be releasing it in full, yes, to you XDA.

Programming costs time, replacing the phone costs money. I have more time than money.

Best regards!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hatcyl:
One maybe possible solution maybe... (free app) (need root)

Hardware Disabler

The though is, in order to stop that you are going to have to disable the actual USB port. You are going to have to play around and find out what driver corresponds to that USB port ... good luck, let me know if it helped.

[HTC Sensation] IMarks:
I have being busy in the begin of the release of ICS to put ice cream sandwich on my htc sensation with the first leaked rom, at that moment spotify didnt work.

I have being searching for the answer if this fixed but couldn't find any recent replies.

Can anyone please tell me if there is a ICS rom, with htc sense 3.0 unskinned (meaning no, to my opinion, ugly black/dark blue layer over htc sense, but just the standard sense look) where spotify works on.

Or any work around, or better that is works on all ICS roms with htc sense 3.0.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
The Thunderbolt is supposed to support BT Phone Book Access Profile (BT PBAP) per Verizon and HTC web sites.

Using the Verizon 2.11.605.9, and even older firmewares, I can't get my car's BT system to access my TB's phone book, even when I allow the request, and check the box for always allow.

Why do I want this? So that I can hit a button on my car to show the TB's phone book on the car screen, and be able to scroll/select who I want to call. It would also mean the Name of the caller also appears on the screen for incoming calls, rather than just the phone number.

Interestingly, while trying the leaked OpenMobile ROM, its BT PBAP DOES work properly. Unforuntately, none of the Verizon apps work, and it lacks Verizon's Visual Voicemail support.

So now for my question...

Is there a way to get BT PBAP working on 2.11.605.9? maybe use some of the BT files from the OpenMobile rom on the VZW firmware?

Any thoughts how to do this? or does anyone have any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outsid0r:
not sure why but for me it does work, i do use an aftermarket BT stereo... but what is your deck thats not working?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
Pairing and Connecting the TB to car's stereo works (for BT Hands Free audio/BT Headset profiles). After pairing, the car kit tries to access the TB's phone book, I see prompt on phone, I select ALLOW on the TB's screen. The PB is then not an option on the car's screen. I can "digit dial" or view a list of incoming/outgoing calls for this BT session via the car's screen, but the on screen button to bring up the TB's phone book isn't there, and the names don't show on the screen for incoming calls.

Using my Bionic, BB 9780, or the TB with the OpenMobile rom on it, the car's kit CAN access the phone book, the onscreen button for it is there, and I can scroll through the names/pick via the car's screen, and it shows me the incoming caller's names.

I'd just use the leaked OpenMobile firmware if it supported the My Verizon app, Verizon's Visual Voice Mail, and the "Verizon specific" apps like NFL Mobile, etc.

I'm using stock, but rooted 2.11.605.9 on my TB. Its not DeOdexed. I don't know if its possible to pull the APK and ODEX files from the original OpenMobile RUU, or not. The version I flashed, was rooted, deodexed, etc.

I guess at this point, I could try finding a de-odexed version of 2.11.605.9, flashing my phone, and pulling the files from Openmobile, and dropping them onto my phone (overwriting the existing) and see what happens?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr. Monkey:
All of my friends have iPhones and they like to do the group message with iMessage that sends out a mms text to everyone but keeps the text organized into one simple conversation thread. It works great for them, but for Android it sends me a MMS from each of them every time someone replies to the group message but it sends them as individual texts and not group texts.

I have tried both GoSMS and Handcent as well as the stock messaging app and nothing seems to work. Even if I create a group of contacts called Friends and I text something to Friends it will send them each a message, but it wont keep the responds together. I know there are apps in the market that will do this, but I don't want to download something. I know the new Droid RAZR will do group messaging perfectly. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe I could pull the RAZR messaging apk and try that?
