go to your market and just download super user and after that download fom manager for free and once you open the first thing you see will be the flash recovery option which comes with the latest recovery. but you do need to be rooted in order to have custom recovery

-Da Reaper
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niteh@wk:
I don't know of a way to root or flash a custom recovery without USB. Have you tried using a different USB cable? Maybe the cable you're using has gone bad as far as transmitting data.

Another way I just thought of is if someone can package up an update to the stock 2.3.3 ROM with root/superuser as update.zip that you can just download, place it the root of the sdcard, and use the stock recovery to update.

So I'm new to Android.. I use an iPhone everyday...

What keyboard would you suggest? the stock one is Meh and the predictive text seems to fail me several times a day... Any Suggestions?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I use Keyboard Manager to switch automatically between Swype in portrait and the stock Gingerbread keyboard in landscape. I have a buddy who swears by Swift Key, so give that a try as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] upcboy:
I've looked a Swift but wasn't sure if it was worth 3 dollars lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Oh, I think I got it for free at some point a the Amazon app of the day. Give Swipe a go, I really like it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] C64assembly:
swype beta is free

Swype beta is free and is a very quick way to input text. As an added bonus i have been able to use voice input via the fire key. The voice recognition works with both the stock Ron and cm7. However it is very technical to install on stock rom because you have to side load app, and then make sure you are rooted and then use file explorer to cut the swype app from the Data/app folder and paste to system/app folder. Next you have to long press on the swype app you pasted into system/app and change permissions to read and write (all checkboxes). Also remember to copy the library files over. Cm7 is so much easier...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] upcboy:
Found an old version of swift... installed it.. and it felt out of place... i just want the original with a better Prediction lol

Thumb Keyboard is easily better than any other I'm aware of for a tablet. I use Smart keyboard pro on my phone.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TRS-80:
+1 on Keyboard Manager + Swype + another keyboard (in my case, I use Hacker Keyboard in landscape). But the key is getting that Keyboard Manager to do the switching, thanks for turning me on to that!

In another thread I found a way to Copy and Paste on Nook Tablet! by switching between Swype and the Hacker Keyboard. Well, this little trick makes it even easier to do that. So thanks, again! :)

What are some of the best premium headphones for the s2? I'm looking to spend between $100 - $200. I actually don't care if they are headphones or earbuds just as long as they fit in my pocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Beats earbuds .. sound very nice! :D

$150

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shadow12347:
I am a headphone junky... (I couldn't possibly name all the ones I've ever had haha) but all I can say is beats are overpriced for what they are. If you want a truly good pair of headphones, get the ultrasone hfi 580's. The sound is absolutely amazing!! Has a lot of bass but is is very tight, and not muddy (like the beats are). Also there is no lack in the highs and midrange. Of all the headphones I have used, there is nothing that comes close in my opinion. They are about $140 so they also fall in your range.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:

I can't see that ever being worth it. I got some sennheiser cx200s (I think) recently on sale for 15 and they're awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Klipsch, Sennheiser, Shure - all well respected high-end brands

Skullcandy is well below the price range you state but they offer good "bang for your buck", especially if you buy a set of Comply foam eartips for their earbuds.

Bose and Beats are massively overpriced crap.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DeXel55:
I am using Ultimate Ears 600 with my SGS 2, got for $78 from Amazon during Christmas sale. You can find it around $80 on amazon from time to time; however, you will probably want to buy 600vi, it has mic and controls and as much as I know everything but volume control works there. These are armature headphones and renewed superfi 5, so if you listen bass and not music, I would not recommend though. Klipsch S4 are also good from what I heard, but according to this and this theme, UI has better build quality quality, but S4i sounds better.... but I cannot personally comment how they differ. One thing, I am happy with UI 600.

Also just noticed that superfi 10 on sale again. This are one of the best IEM on the market. There is also vi version, with mic and so on, but I never saw it to go on sale, and you can buy replacement cable with mic for superfi 10 from logitech website anyway.

And yes, should agree about beats, as overpriced crap made and sold my same company who sells overpriced cables.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
Don't get Beats.. They're overpriced useless things. Quality of sound and build is nothing compared to better companies such as Bose and Sennheiser. I'd suggest getting a pair of those. I have CX 400's and they're very good. Of course you can get higher-priced pairs. They really do make a difference in sound. For people who say otherwise, try a pair of 200 dollar headphones/earbuds and then try a pair of 10 dollar JVCs... It's night and day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
150 is nothing lol my throw around everyday ear buds are shure scl4's which were like $399 when I got them and my other pair is a pair of shure se 535's which are like $499 (I only use them on stage as in ear monitors and when I cant find my other ear buds and I'm in a rush) lately for my phone I've been using the Monster mobile jamz because it has the control talk mic and the sound quality is decent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Firepac:
I would also like to add that it should have a mic as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
To each his own i guess.. The earbuds sound awesome.. Deep bass and very very clear. For everyone that says they don't- well that's just stupid. They could be a little over priced but the sound quality is the best I've heard coming out of ANY earbuds. Even uses Monster cable.. (high-end stereo/speaker wire).. Depends who you are.. Someone like me is't gonna spend any less than $100 bucks anyway, regardless of what kind of headphones i get and when you get up in that price range (unless your spending $3/$400), your selection greatly gets narrowed down.. I landed on beats and they sound fweekin great..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yomama84:

Then you may not have heard Klipsch Image S4's. For $70-$80 they're pretty hard to beat in terms of earbuds. Tight bass, clear highs and mids, you'll be hearing sounds in your music you never

even knew was there :)

Regarding Monster cable use in Beats.......could be the reason why they are overpriced ;) Monster cable being overpriced is another topic all together...lol

I have had a pair of Bose in ear headphones for a while and I love them. about 89$ so not to expensive. They don't have a mic but just for something that is nice in quality and isn't going to break the bank. Bose

I take it you didn't see/read this post :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gorcorps:
Agreed 100 fold. Beats are for people who don't know anything about balanced sound and just want muddy thumping. They don't even have as much of a kick as they should for what they're going after.

I personally have Phonak Audeo PFEs. I bought them for use with an mp3 player and not a phone so I'm not sure how they'd work out there. I am one who with always tune my equalizer to get the sound I want, and the PFEs are great in that regard. They have a very balanced sound which lets me EQ to my hearts content without getting any sort of distortion. The low end is a bit lacking compared to other headphones I've had (like Hippo VBs and CX300s) but they have better mid and high range to compensate.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gorcorps:
*shrugs* Everybody's ears are different so not everything will sound the same to everybody else. But most audio-focused folks who have had a lot of experience with other brands seem to agree that the Beats in particular are overpriced and not well balanced. However it's incredibly subjective and every person has a different level of hearing loss, different musical tastes, and different opinions on what part of the music should be emphasized.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Southrice:
I don't know, I'm not an audio enthusiasts but I love music and i have to say beats audio is pretty impressive. I think the reason for all the ambiguity against beats headphones is because not many people have the willingness to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of headphones.

I mean most people I know wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars on cars or computers, but I do...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] anikeeet:
I think it's more that people who are actually willing to drop that much money on headphones are looking for a pair that is more balanced rather than bass heavy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rawb123456:
S4a for sure. Beats are good but klipsch is awesome. They sell a premium pair of headphones for 350$ if you want to spend the cash. But the S4a's are legit. My daily drivers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] threed82:
Do you notice issues with the s4a's if the control app is installed and enabled? I noticed it would randomly increase volume to max, but keeps pressing the volume up sound and making that sound... and all i tried to do was end a phone call..

I have to keep the app uninstalled or this kind of thing happens.

Also, do you talk on the phone using the mic on the headphones at all? do people complain they cant hear you very well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] arctia:
I'm a headphone enthusiast. I've listened to pretty much headphones of all (reasonable) ranges, from the $2 buds to the thousand dollar flagships. I personally own Senn's current flagship headphone with numerous others in the $50-200 range. My two observations:

1. Bose = style and comfort, not sound quality. Pretty much any decent headphone manufacturer, Audio Technica, Denon, Ultrasone, etc have produced at least one headphone in any of the Bose's price range, and outright beat Bose in sound quality. Bose's QC line has pretty good noise cancellation. But if you are in need of noise cancellation, then your sound quality is already degraded, why spend $150 for degraded sound quality?

2. The sound output out of our Galaxy S2 is terrible. As any sound enthusiast will tell you, if your sound source sucks, it doesn't matter how good your headphones/speakers are. Why spent so much money pairing it with a sucky music player? The price is justified if you have a real music player that is not the Galaxy S2.

skullcrushers

definitely skullcandy skullcrushers. they aren't too expensive and they deliver huge bass (go figure...with built-in subs). pretty good combo and not too many other headphones ive seen offer bass control.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
I've been using the Skullcandy Heavy Medal and am rather impressed. Very good headphones and notably better build quality. Sound is amazing, very crisp bass, good mids and clean highs. I don't listen to very "bassy" songs so I can't comment if it's the "brain rattling" bass their description makes it out to be, so far it's not over the top. I really like them though. Very comfortable too despite the weird shape.

I tried the Heavy Medal with Puscifers D is for Dubby, the only really bassy songs I could think of and it will absolutely rattle your brain around. I tried them against my Skullcandy 50/50 and noticed the 50/50 had a "louder" bass but it wasn't as clear. You can differentia the notes much more with the Heavy Medals and it's not as much of an annoying - not sure if that's the right word for it - bass. They definitely have a cleaner bass compared to the 50/50, but the 50/50 are really great headphones for the price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Padillla:
I got ATH-M20 from Audio Technica, the best headphones for a $30 steal. Amazon

If you use Voodoo Louder for like 3 bucks, you will have AWESOME sound, high volume and a delicious sensation that you didn't lost 150 bucks in that piece of expensive fashion sh!t named Beats.

Or you can get $150 ATH-M50, which are really good headphones. Hats off.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
Just because they don't have some audiophile brand doesn't make them not premium. Side by side Skullcandy is worlds better than Beats which no one seems to have a problem dubbing "premium". Sure the budget side of Skullcandy will never compete with other brands, hell some are even worse than the $5 jvc buds. And whoever came up with Smokin Buds should be fired and then shot.

Most of the guys over there are real audiophiles though. They will tell you beats and scullcandy are overpriced crap. However I believe if you are looking for style points and love rap they could be just right for you.

The Klipsch S4a's. They were mentioned earlier in the thread as well, but I also own a pair and can attest that their sound quality. Its on par of that of phones twice their price. It has plenty of bass, but don't expect it to be like Beats by Dr. Ripuoff. Its not overpowering, and also has crisp highs and strong mids. You know, to better reproduce the actual music.:P

I'd highly recommend them. Best pair of in-ear headphones I've ever owned.

Earlier today I was reading an ebook when my phone rebooted.

After a few minutes everything seemed normal.

I was running WC's 3.5.

When I got home I decided to flash back to bananacakes HoliRaider V 1.5.

I flashed the boot.img with no problem. I then pulled the sd card to rename the PH39IMG.zip so that I could reload CWM via H-Boot.

As soon as I insert the battery the screen turns on and the display is very dim.

Pressing the power button on/off has no effect.

Ideas / comments?

I pulled battery and let the phone set for over 30 minutes.

Inserted battery and screen remained off.

Flashed CWM and I'm back up.
