[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KBS720:
Don't forget to back up your original void.fstab file.

I personally use this kind of phone on my previous phone (galaxy SL). It had only 4gb internal (around 1.5 useable). But on this phone I don't think this really a necessity. HD games and other memory consuming apps can be saved with a lot of excess space.

Update us if it works.

Hi,

I just got my TF101 and rooted it with Razorclaw. Now the tablet working perfect but I still get the notifcation to update firmware. If I clik update....I suppose that I will loose my root. Someone told me to do this:

¨You should be able to use the app "OTA Rootkeeper" to back up your root privileges and then do a firmware update and then restore root privileges after updating with the same tool.¨

If I understand correctly I can install OTA Rootkeeper and after I can update firmware without unrooting and get back my root privilege with OTA Rootkeeper.

Am I right?

Thanks !
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
OTA Rootkeeper will save your root files. You will loose root when you update but use OTA Rootkeeper

to restore your root.

If that fail you can use NachoRoot.

Thanks ! I ve done it with your advice and I was able to get my root back

Sound Quality Sucks

Now this was in a recent course which was 2 weeks of use. Had one briefly during launch and traded it because of the demand. Saw development picking up so I got one back and gave it a longer try/go.

The Galaxy Nexus is awesome don't get me wrong its just that it seems like they put more into the interface looking pretty than basic elements running smoothly. It has cool features which will definitely be a upgrade to people that haven't tried it but some of your favorite apps may not work and if your someone that likes to use your device day in and day out be prepared to bring a charger with you. The only 3 things that amazed me about the phone was the face unlock,the screen resolution and the softkey mods. Battery life was lacking and those three features weren't enough to make me want to keep this device. Tried everything from rom, radio, baseband combos and it just didn't make it better. Some other people may disagree. I don't buy phones to have them sit on a desk so showing me screenshots with 75% display(meaning standby/lack of use) won't convince me otherwise.

Now when it comes to the T989 I feel like it's a overall better device. Even though we are on GB we will have a ICS rom soon whether if it's OTA or Leaked. Better battery life with rom and kernel combos that actually show improvement, great storage for pack rats, and development from both sides of the fence. Not to mention we have a new addition to the Devs :-) I feel like the Sgs2/T989 is a strong enough device to hold me or anyone over till the Sgs3, but I'm sure I will try out the Blaze as well.

2 Galaxy Nexus owned/traded and I don't feel like I'm missing out by coming back to the Sgs2. In my eyes they both have strengths and weaknesses but it's far from a slaughter.

:-D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
I feel like the Skyrocket is a better device too, it's the reason why I haven't grabbed the GNexus.

And with the CPU/GPU thing, the S3 just about destroys the OMAP4460.

Adreno 220 is much faster then the SGX540, and even though the OMAP has the same tech as the Exynos, it just doesn't seem nearly as fast, and the Snapdragon feels much quicker.

Also, on the GNexus, could you still see pixels because of the PenTile display? On my friends GNexus, I have no problem noticing the pixels, but I can't see them on my Skyrocket.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
From every angle the display was crisp. Didn't notice any pixels. Watching movies on it was AMAZING.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
Hmm, guess it's just my eyesight then, or it's his screen, because I could EASILY see pixels without a problem.

And I agree, I watched a movie on it, looked ****ing AMAZING.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Good decision, the gs2 battery life is no joke. And especially now that TDJ has his hands on a device, expect greater things to come. Eugene, not sure how great he is, but other people can vouch for him, so i can't wait! But RK and TDJ is an amazing combo, they finished strong at the mt4g dev section. Made it imho the best single core device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mkarps:
I love the Nexus. Battery life has been the biggest surprise for me....though I came from a charge....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
If you think your battery life is good, ask us Skyrocket's and T-Mo SGS II users.

Thanks to the GSM/LTE combo in the Skyrocket, I use battery at the same rate as they do, so there's no battery drain.

I do 12-14 hours on a charge with heavy usage (I mean, constant texting, web browsing, gaming, listening to music).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
I use my phone constantly. On the Nexus I was getting 4-5 hrs. I don't see how that is acceptable. In time I'm sure a kernel will give it more juice. The phone has only been on the market for 2 months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
Hmm.. while i agree with some, most of them i don't, and the unlocking fee is not applicable in the equation

firstable what do you mean by Graining/Blobbing? :confused:

Voodoo is not applicable to our device

ICS is guaranteed so the GB part is only partially applicable until we get 4.0

the Plastic Feel is subjective to each person feel, to me the T989 is one of the better quality Samsung has ever build to date

the Galaxy Nexus actually feels more plasticky, i like our back cover more than the one that came with the i9250
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
I included the unlocking fee because i buy my phones for full price and i have to have them unlocked which most of the time it cost me money since none of the unlocker apps work and tmobile wont give them to me. I travel alot and being as though the nexus comes factory unlocked i figured i would list it as a con on the sgs2 side and a pro on the GN for myself.

The Graining/Blobbing is from a thread i read which most people have been experiencing which runs more in the category of lines running vertical in some screens. I experienced some but its not a big issue. That was in comparison to the 720p screen of the GN which i found no screen issues viewed from any angles.

I know Voodoo isnt functional with our device but i saw several people mention it and i was one of the people that miss it. Just from back in the Vibrant days. I think it is or was more effective than Volume+.

ICS is coming we all know that, but trying out ICS and than coming back to GB to me is a downgrade. Not just based on the OS #, but because ICS has more cooked in, and it will be great once we have it officially on the Sgs2. It was listed as a con for me because we have to wait on it for some time. May not be a biggie to other people.

The feel of the GN felt more nice is the hand to me with or without a case. The sgs2 in the color black feels nice in the hand maybe more so because of the door material , but the white model feels more cheap. I have a white on the way as im selling my black because I like the full look of the white but i know i have to add a white body glove to it to get a better feel of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
very interesting regarding the white vs black model of the T989 i didn't know the back cover was different on the white

i was under the impression it was just the color.

re: unlocking fee, well in that case i do agree if you compare it as the total Cost of the phone, but that being said, the i9250 is still more expensive even with that included into the total of a T989

i'm indifferent about the Graining/Blobbing as it happens on both devices, actually all new AMOLED devices seems to be suffering from the same thing from what i've read across devices (Nokia, G Note, G Nexus, T989, i727, the new HD version of skyrocket, etc)

it'a factory production thing... not much we can do

that being said, i don't see the problem when using it normally, it only shows up when you have brightness all the way to Zero, otherwise is not noticeable

any brightness setting of 20% of more will just make it go away
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
Ive read that as well, but i only noticed it so much on the devices i had.

The door on the black t989 is more so like a carbon feel sort of with more grip, and the white t989 is more glossy/slippery.

Also thanks for editing my OP. I was mobile at the moment of post.

I wonder why all these GN vs GS2 threads are here? No need to justify your purchases. We all like and want different things. I can appreciate a new POV, but in essence its all the same. I can find thousands of people who can say the GNs pros outway the cons. To all their own I say.

Sorry, if it feels like I am targeting you, it's just these threads just seem like people trying to convince themselves more than anyone else that their phone is better than the GN...which is very subjective.

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ymcmbforever:
I seen the gn and hated it its so ugly the missing buttons r ugly too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Well this thread is more reasonable than the others because at least he listed a whole list of pros and cons. While the other ops are like "gs2 ftw" or something along those lines. He's not necessarily bashing either phones. he's listing some things that will help others decide if the cons outweigh the pros for either phone. Like if you're a battery user, immediately you would want to stick with the gs2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tspx23:
I agree with your points.

I just traded my white gs2 for a galaxy nexus and I plugged it into my computer and couldn't even transfer files to the sd card -.-. After installing drivers I can do it through MTP but I feel like out of the box internal sd card support was one of the major advantages of having an android device.

I might be interested in trading back for a gs2 but.... the screen is just... AMAZING on the nexus. I can't notice any pixels like someone else stated earlier but the screen quality is great. I had a sensation and was complaining about the ppi when I moved to the gs2. It would be hard to readjust to the galaxy s 2 if I do decide to go back to it.

Another point is the camera quality on the galaxy s 2... it completely blows away the nexus. I don't think the nexus is horrendous but for a 700 dollar phone you would think they could make some improvements. I also think that a better camera app would help, the native camera app in ICS isn't that much of an improvement from AOSP gingerbread.

The last and final point that would make it difficult for me to move back to the gs2 would be the operating system. Ice cream sandwich took a bit to get used to but after playing with it, its definitely a more fluid experience than the galaxy s2. Even if the gs2 gets the update.... I find it hard to believe that the update would be as anywhere as stable as the nexus. There are major bugs in the CM7 build from a couple months ago.... I just wonder how long would it take to get a stable ICS one. Also I would assume that the ics update for the t989 would come with touchwiz. Touchwiz sort of kills the beauty of ICS for me, I tried it out on the i9100 and it wasn't very impressive--it didn't add many pros over the gingerbread build.

I think its a toss up... if camera/internal hardware/specs is important def go with the t989

If updates/support/screen quality is important then go with the nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
I'm back with the nexus but i want a att note now that it can get tmobile 4G.

:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
The only two points I dont agree with are the unlocking fee and the face unlock. Tmo unlocked my phone for free and the face unlock is irelevent it would be diff if the gn was the only phone with it but its an ics thing. Hell my g2x had face unlock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tspx23:
Yeah I thought you were getting a white nexus, how is it? I would totally get one but the black front kind of ruins the white look for me.

And really I'm guessing you can just flash a t-mobile radio then? I had the note but its just wayy too massive to hold. I couldn't even get used to the gs2 when I first had it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
The unlock code is only if you haven't requested one before. If you already got one they won't provide you with another for another 90 days. Other than that they are $25. Also my list was made on the 17th of January. ICS just came out for the g2x, and it still isn't stable. But I get your points. I also agree with the face unlock being pointless. There is a way around it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CB620:
Sold my white nexus locally for $700 using my original one now. They flashed a tmobile radio on the note and its functional. A couple bugs but a custom rom should fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
AWS 3G on the Note?
