1-3 mbps is quite nice if you can get that on AT&T. But I disagree with GPS useless part. I routinely use my GS2 for GPS navigation. And it has no problem when travel through some areas that are 2G only. In fact, with Google Nav, once the route is caculated, you can turn the data off and your navigation still works because the map data along the route is pre-cached.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Go phone or pre-paid plans are heavily throttled by AT&T. You won't be able to get the full speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Interesting about the GPS. I did not know that, but thats a good thing. Sorry I just think 1-3 is a joke for a smart phone. I regularly get 8-12 with my h+ on my skyrocket and have seen 50+ on LTE with the skyrocket. Some may say you don't need it but its certainly nice to have when pulling up web pages and downloading stuff. Streaming is also seamless, where I had problems with my i4 streaming pandora
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrDSL:
Well this is what I get all the time with Sprint. So almost anything could beat that and my gps works fine...At home and work im on wifi anyway but those speeds arent hard to beat really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Yikes lol

That was at my house which doesn't get the best reception in the world. I guess if you're coming from those speeds with sprint you'll be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrDSL:
Changes things doesn't? LoL

I'm so tired of these speeds!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Yes that certainly changes things lol I would post your question in the int note section, as most of us on this forum will be getting the ATT one and not using a prepaid plan (I assume)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drpal181:
I dont see why gophone is heavily throttled. You use what you pay for and if you go over, the line gets cut until you reload your account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrDSL:
I did but it got moved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
I dont think that its necesarily heavily throttled its just that the data plan you are using is one that is not capable of good speeds. The data plan for the phone the OP linked is not even 3g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
IIRC, there is unlimited data plan for GoPhone.

The throttle part is from posts here by an AT&T employee. And I believe him because for the limited bandwidth AT&T has so far, GoPhone should be on the lowest prority for bandwidth allocation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Yes you could do this. If certain conditions are met. First, the Note must be an unlocked version that can be used anywhere. 2nd, and this is the biggest one, AT&T allows the phone to be used on a pre-paid plan.

The reason for this comment is simple. AT&T knows what phones attached to which SIM Cards. I can bet you the cost of a plan that AT&T will notify you that you can not use a Smart Phone on the GoPhone SIM and Plan. AT&T has no GoPhone's that are Smart Phones. So once they see that you have a Smart Phone, especially one like the Note, attached to a GoPhone SIM, they will throw a fit. They will want their money from that Data Plan.

Not to mention, the GoPhone Plans suck. The amount of money you will spend will equal out to what it will cost you on a contract plan. Especially if you are a heavy texter/data user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
First, the international notes imei is not in ATTs system so they would have no idea what phone is on the plan. Second, all you do is activate the go phone with unlimited nonsmartphone data plan on the gophone with supplied sim, swap some into note and configure correct apn settings so that the note can get on ATTs data network. Third and unrelated, there are gophone smartphones like the thrive and new one which I forget the real name but model is the frog. All the instructions on using gophone plans with international notes are in the other forum
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jgonzo432:
Hi, new member here looking to get a GNote soon...

I found this service today straighttalksim(dot)com

It uses AT&T's network and you can use any unlocked phone you want. Just throwing it out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] giantenemybird:
There are go phones that are smart phones, but they require seperate, and really expensive, data plans on top of the go phone minutes. Not that it really counters your main point, but it's more of an FYI.
[HTC Desire S] mike989e:
I have been using a number of ROM's on here for awhile, and decided to revert back to stock, so i followed the Revert to Stock thread on here. when i did this, the RRU install crashed and i was left with an Android phone that has Fastboot on it and that it, no android OS, just fastboot.

Now i litterally have a S-ON Phone with Fastboot and nothing else.

I cannot run the RUU install, as it says Bootloader version error.

any idea's?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I'm not sure how HTC-Dev works but could you unlock the bootloader through HTC-Dev? At least this will give you an unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Desire S] mike989e:
Unfortunately not, as i believe to use adb you need to be able to boot into android OS, which i cannot, as i don't have one. Literally i only have Fastboot on my phone.

Good idea though.

If anyone can correct me on that (adb only works in Android OS)

[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
In this situation you need a Vodafone RUU with the same or higher version - impossible at this point (there is no such as far as I know).

So you can create a Goldcard and try with European unbranded 2.10.401.9 RUU

It is a higher version compared to the one you currently have and will debrand your phone also on success.

There is a guide somewhere around how to create a Goldcard without a device (I think it was for WinMobile, but the procedure is the same for Android)

This is your only option I am afraid (with fastboot and S-ON)

Good luck
[HTC Desire S] mike989e:
Can i create a Goldcard on another Desire S and use it in this one? as i have two
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
If you don't get the goldcard to work, enjoy your new brick. ;-)

I warned the idiot who created that thread that this would happen, did he listen? plain and simply, no.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Yes it should work (I haven't tried this myself but there were a guy who did)
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Also worth noting certain microSD cards are rather temperamental with being converted into a GoldCard.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
This is true.

But to be sure he can also search for the thread I was referring to in my first post here. There is an open source app that can do this (actually the Goldcard trick depends on the SDcard cid so it should work on any device, but I cannot verify this info from my personal experience. Actually I have never created a Goldcard myself but used to guide people and they did it sucessfully)
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
How to make GoldCard

GoldCard Tool v0.0.5

Requirements:

Latest HTC Sync software installed (www.htc.com)

Spare microSD card

Windows PC (Tested on Windows7 x64,Vista x86)

.Net Framework 2.0

Step by step instructions:

Format the microSD card to FAT32 format.

Put the microSD card in your device and boot it.

Launch GoldCard Tool (Right Click and run as Admin if needed)

Connect Android device to USB (USB Debugging must be enabled on the device)

Click 'Get CID' (If MMC1 fails try MMC0)

Click the link to open revskills.de, enter the CID number from Goldcard Tool and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.

Enable USB Mass Storage on the device.

Click 'Refresh' and select your microSD card in the drop down menu.

Click 'Load GoldCard.img' and open the .img file you got by email.

Click 'Patch MMC'

You now have a goldcard!

[Notes]

HTC Sync is required for drivers only

Android SDK is not required

[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@zeekiz

Its also worth nothing that..... The guide you suggested uses mmc0/1 *the app only supports those) and not mmc2

Sooooo, at OP...

Download the app "Goldcard Helper" to ger you CID, USE the mmc2 one (the otheris your phones internal memory).

If you rather use adb here's the code

but remember you'll need to reverse that and add the leading zeros........ So rather use the helper....

Then follow on rom here;
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
hey guys he cannot download from Market, use adb or toggle USB storage, remember?

This was the guide I was referring to.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@amidabuddha

He said he has two phones, so he can use the other phone. Thats why I suggested goldcard tool.
[HTC Desire S] nenad_l:
You can create goldcard in any htc device (i used one i created in htc tattoo)

RUU can be installed from fastboot, you just need to find one that will work for you...

read my posts in this thread, i had similar problems yesterday, maybe you will solve your situation in same way as i did...

Stock rom maybe does not have that many fancy eye candy (but still is very pretty) and not that many settings and features, but everything works as it should, update works, battery life is longer and we nevertheless get ICS in couple of months...
[HTC Desire S] x24:
I've been there to mate. So, from my experience, here's how I solved it.

First thing fist, if your stock rom / cid is not europe (as stated in your getvar), you need a gold card. You need to have your sdcard's cid for this. I used my old 2GB sandisk microsd. You're lucky to have other android device (it's even the same type). Just put the microsd card you're going to use as a goldcard (formatted as FAT32) in your working android device. Install goldcard helper from market, run it, and get the mmc2 cid written down / send via email for easier copy paste in computer. Turn off the device, take the microsd and put it in your computer. use goldcard tool 0.0.5 posted on previous page to create goldcard using the microsd. There are many threads that talk about this in details.

As you have "INFOversion-main: 12.10.401.5", you cannot use RUU. I've checked and tried all european RUU i can find, and they have 2.10.xxx.x as main version.

You have to flash bootloader 2.00.0002 from an OTA file 2.10.401.5 or above, because the OTA files have version higher than 12. You can find the link for OTA 2.10.401.8 in this thread. After that, you have to unlock using htcdev, because you cannot downgrade / use exploit without adb (someone please CMIIW).

After you have unlocked using htcdev, you can flash custom recovery, change your misc version, downgrade to stock ruu, s-off, etc.

There are so many very useful threads here, mostly you can find solution for your problem searching through them.

My Desire S current state is

ROM = Saga3D

Android version = 2.3.5

Radio version = 3805.04.02.01_M

Build number = 2.10.401.9 CL156318

HBoot version = 6.98.1002

City/Country = Yangon/Myanmar, Asia

Please kindly advice me that

-Can I use this 3822.09.08.20_M radio to flash?

-Do I need to change my Ship S-off to Eng S-Off to flash new radio?

Hi! My Defy is running WajkIUI (MIUI). It played h.264@30fps lag no matter bitrate is high or low. But it played h.264@24fps quite smooth regardless bitrate. but if I interrupt my device by touching the screen or whatever, the playback will become a litte lag then continue to playback smoothly.

Does it happens on other rom like CM7/Official Gingerbread Rom with ginger bread kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
ok, let me chime in here before you get flamed and the thread gets locked. Dont create a thread asking for the best rom. Every phone is different and will respond to ROM's differently. What works for me, may not work for you.

the same suggestion applies to everyone creating a thread like this -- try all the roms and determine which works best for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rav4kar:
I am sure you are going to be yelled at by many for asking this question :) ! See, it depends on what your requirement is, some like heavily themed ROM (firmware), some like very light weight ( just better battery, minimal force closures,etc).

why don't you start with something stock like UnNamed, SHOstock ROMs if you don't like and you want more 'customization' then try TASK650's ICS'd and ICScrewD these are themed and a little heavier and have more options to play around!

Give each ROM couple of days and see how it works for your daily use, and choose your final one, also learn how to take Nandroid backup using CWM and take backup before try new one one.

Ones I pointed are here for long and stable.

Good luck!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
AFAIK, there is absolutely no BEST ROM as it might be BEST and suitable for you but not for others.

Keep reading through, most of the time when new ROM update released, a first few pages, people keep giving thumbs up and 5 or 6 stars but down the road, they start reporting issue, oh, I can't do this, I can't do that after update.

Expect to pull your hair, scratch your head a few times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Best rom is whichever one gives u the options u want and does what u need it to do. If you're asking which are more popular and basing your idea off these, just peruse the development section. Usually more popular Roms are at the top or have been around a while and have been thoroughly tested by the user base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:

Maybe it might have saved you from starting this redundant and useless thread, maybe not. No one ROM is THE BEST because no one uses their phone the same way or has the same needs/expectations. The only way to find which one is best for you is to try them. To figure that out you should read the various ROM's threads in Dev and see what problems/benefits it has and decide for yourself what you can live with. THERE IS NO BEST ROM!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
We dont allow "best rom" threads. Each person is different looking for different featuers. Try some yourself and see which one fits you.
