[HTC Sensation] Uqbar:
I mean, I come from desire experience.

There I have SPL, HBOOT, Recovery, Radio and the ROM itself.

Now, why for example Insertcoin is asking me to "upgrade the firmware" with that PG58IMG.ZIP file?

The content seems to be ... scary: hboot, radio, recovery ...

What's the explanation for it?

Shouldn't it be better to say: you need to have this radio and that hboot in order to have this ROM working?

TIA.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You need to have this radio and that hboot in order to make this ROM work.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Uqbar:
I'm really dumb, sorry and still don't understand.

I have those 10 binary IMG files into a 20+ MB PG58IMG.zip (37+ MB uncompressed) "just to have the right environment to run his ROM?

How am I supposed to "undo" such a heavy replacement?

He's replacing both the HBOOT and the recovery! And possibly also the SPL!
[HTC Sensation] trx182:
The newest InsertCoin is based on ICS, so you need the new Firmware (3.24) in order to make it work.

d/l the PG58IMG.zip from the thread linked in the InsertCoin thread, flash it, then flash the ROM and you are good to go. Just check _before_ that your CID and MID is in the list when flashing the new Firmware.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

You are seriously changing out the guts of your phone.

But if you want ICS, and no one is forcing you to do this, then you need all these changes.

You are stepping up your firmware, radio , hboot etc.

In order to have ICS you must do this.

But you can step back .

Nothing else will work with firmware 3.24

So, you can step down easily to firmware 3.12

GB will work with this.

Although, once you try ICS, you will probably stay with it.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ar4l:
The firmware for ICS roms not only updates hboot and radio it also modifies the partitions on your system. That's why the phone boot loops if you flash an ICS rom onto a gingerbread firmware, the rom looks for data in a partition that doesn't exist.

How can rooting be made illegal when its not like jailbreaking ios, it can never be illegal to enhance (or root) an open source operating system because the thing your rooting is not owned by a company who says you can't do it. Its free and you can legally do what you like to it.

Jailbreaking is different as ios is owned by apple and unlike android is not open.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shorty1993:
Some instances of altering game consoles for pirate gaming could be understandable cause it does hurt the companies (not that they are in pain) but I don't know off hand of anything or anybody that is hurt by my phone being rooted. HTC is aware its being done and aside from voiding the warranty they have not started any criminal procedure that I know of. I don't see this happening but I doubt they could enforce it. Hell an American developer would only have to post thru a foreign board member. Seriously let's focus our legal money/manpower on real issues.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Method320:
Considering how many people use the internet, SOPA almost passed.

If this bill is real, there's a good chance it could get passed. Sure, lots of people root their phones, but in the grand scheme of things, considering how many people do -not- root their phones, the number of people who do is pretty minuscule.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Kinda like marijuana or alcohol. If it's legal, people are gonna do it legally. If they make it illegal, they'll do it illegally.

BTW, Apple tried this a few years back, it failed miserably.

If you are a developer and I have not included your work on this list, please let me know. If I have incorrectly credited your work, please let me know. It's very important to me that I be accurate as possible about who is doing what. If you know of a port or ROM I have not included on this list from any other source, please let me know.

Hi guys, I'm new to the phone, but I was browsing around on the internet and I saw someone post an idea that might help Nexus S users in Canada on the WIND/MOBILICITY carriers connect faster.

The idea was that it would be faster if you disabled the other frequency bands, only leaving the ones that your carrier uses.

Just wondering if it's possible on the nexus s?

hey guys. After having the sensation for about three months i got pretty much sick and tired of the battery life and so i searched up and found an anker 1900 mah battery, do you guys think that it is actually worth buying it? I also heard from a friend that it reduces the overheating issue that the phone has, can anybody confirm this to be true?

so far after reading the reviews anker battery has got lots of positive reviews but unfortunately the price of the battery in malaysia is double so i opt for sunglobal 1850mah... http://www.sunglobal.com.my/enlarge.asp?id=93.... so far works fine for me for around 15 to 25 hours..
[HTC Sensation] biggunsv:
This is an interesting topic for me too. There are several brands offering batteries with extended capacity. Do you think that they are all the same, or Anker is the best?
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Will rreplacig my stock sensation battery for the anker 1900 one reduce overheating
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
No. The battery is only part of the issue, your processor generates more heat.

For those thinking the Anker solves temperature issues, it doesn't have a temperature sensor included so always reports 25c no matter how hot or cold it gets.
[HTC Sensation] tblade2:
Anker is 1900 mAh, and I saw another aftermarket batt on eBay listing 2450 mAh capacity.

Its easy to print a label with a higher capacity rating, so my question is has anyone tried it - feedback?
[HTC Sensation] apatch:
I got 2 Anker 1900 mAh batteries with external usb/plug recharger, I just swap them when one is discharged.

Now my phone works a lot longer but the greatest difference occoured when I stopped using Superpower app with it's 2G/3G switching scripts (2G preferred) and turn on airplane mode in the night when I sleep.

Now my phone works even 3 days when is lighlty used. :)
[HTC Sensation] Skarpur:
My Anker battery offered a great improvement at first, however six months down the line I'm not so sure its lasting as long as it used to - can't say I'm using my phone any more than I was, but I always seem to be in power saving mode now before I stick it on charge at the end of the day. Hopefully in another six months it won't have gotten any worse!

WTF??? A quick Google of SPH-D700 shows that to be the Samsung Epic 4G, which is a Sprint phone. The I9100 is a GSM phone. Sprint is a CDMA network. I hope you're planning on changing carriers if you hope to use the I9100.

Unless you're just confused, and actually ordered a Sprint variant of the Galaxy SII, which is the SPH-D710, or as they call it, the Epic 4G Touch.

Just so I'm clear, the I9100 will NOT work on Sprint's network.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] essjayar:
It's so popular it's one of those phones - like Desire HD - that's known inside and out :D Been out in europe for ages, but the US had better carrier specific devices, faster CPUs, etc. At it's core the same device mind.

I was in no rush for ICS but tried WanamLite and all was fine, although the launcher freezes now and then which I put down to a full phone, and an early rom.

This used the CM9 trebuchet launcher. I've got to say almost everything about ICS is cleaner, faster, smoother than previous roms - custom or not. Easy task control, nice display, and little things I still keep discovering like when you connect via USB you get a choice of media device or camera (with the usual USB development option off).

I've had this thing months and must have flashed 50+ roms lol. In the end I stuck with Leomars then the combined Leomar/Checkrom HD because of the kitchen app for easy addons and upgrades.

If youve never used a samsung dont worry, its usually a simple app that will root it and install a recovery console <- very important, cause after that you can flash anything, and as long as you get back to recovery youll be fine. Backup often - complete rom via the recovery (power on, vol down) and a data/app backup with Titanium.

I don't think you need worry about ADB or odin anymore, but if you do just follow instructions on this site...

Your reward? the best phone around esp if the rom you use adds neat things like Jkays extensions, modded apps, kitchens, good theme engine, etc. For pure Android go for AOSP roms, otherwise they're a mish mash of parts.

Change the boot anim if you want, you might get a yellow warning triangle because the sammy knows the roms "illegitimate" but its easily removed.

Finally, should you need to, the stock roms and kernels and modems are here too if you need to get everything back to default, best get them quick as the download sites are dissapearing, or rip yours first before you burn another...

Have fun! You couldn't pick a better handset right now :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Just FYI. Bold/Italic/Underlined part is not exactly true. Some of the US carrier specific models have completely different hardware, and have faster clock speeds because they use inferior CPUs.
