[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I think you are talking about something different then the rest. You flashed an aosp ics build for the sgs2, no? You, as other people are assuming, didn't odin the sgs2 Sammy ics tar.

:My attempt to save some phones for the day:

Odin'ing a tar for the sgs2 = brick

Flashing a rooted zip rom with system+kernel only from sgs2 = recoverable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
I flashed it via CWM. I never said I flashed it via Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
You'd figure that there'd be a leak at some point for our device if they were working on it. Then again from what I've seen lately there probably has; it's just been kept quiet to ensure that either A) The release of our rooted ICS here is good quality [Which it is, It's damn good for an alpha] or B) To ensure that certain people get credit for it.

You'd figure that with android being open source that there would be more openness.

Instead you have situations where devs are forced to work in secret to avoid their work being stolen. Who cares who did it? We aren't HTC, Samsung or Motorola.

We shouldn't give a **** about what the name is attached to the ROM, We should care about what version of android it is, how well it runs, if it is a skinned ROM and what it has over AOSP.

I couldn't care less who made it; I'm not their employer, I am not paying them by their effort. They can take how long they need to put out a functional ROM and all I can expect is for them to know and obey the GPL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I never said that you said that. If you look at every response to what you were talking about , EVERYONE ELSE is confused as to what you're talking about. I wasn't correcting you, you see, I was making it clear what you were talking about, what they THOUGT you were talking about , and the difference.

Because this thread is about sammy ice cream and not about a developer build on the sgs2 from the aosp branch, I thought I should clarify.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Yeah, there will probably be something CM9 related available way before we see anything from Sprint/Samsung. Touchwiz doesn't bother me that much, not as much as Sense did. The CM# Kangs and official ROMs always seem to have one or two quirky things that don't work in them.

I've been on Sprint since the Mogul (PPC 6800) came out. I've gone through a pretty wide iteration of phones on Sprint since then (Diamond, Pre, Hero, Epic 4g, Evo 4g, Epic Touch).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
This is directed to OP.

Fukin A right, Watch what you say about a int sgs2 fkash not brickin your ****. There are enough dumb plp who have done it already. Hell just the statement ya made back a couple posts. Will be the reason for another influx of HELP I FLASH THE WRONG **** threads.lol.

Most would not get so defensive on the questions you were asked. Thats why plp were calling BS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Yeah because they haven't released any updates for the Evo or Epic over a year after their launch.

:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Pretty sure I wasn't getting defensive?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
To someone who doesn't have a dog in this fight; it does appear that you are being defensive. I don't think they were just trying to call BS on you, it just seems they wanted you to clarify EXACTLY what you flashed and how. I was a bit confused at first when I read what you said. Just thought I would try and help settle this...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiekan:
No, not everyone. I understood it perfectly fine. agentfazexx flashed (through CMW) the AOSP build that was being worked on for the international SGS2 a while back. It booted fine. Everything worked except the radios. Pretty straight forward.

Going to the site he linked to (sgs2ics.com) would clear that up pretty much immediately.

He did NOT flash the leaked ICS tar (for the international SGS2) that Samfirmwares put out that everyone has been bricking their phones on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Yep, I don't know why there's any confusion.

Anyway back on topic. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Sigh.. Okay, here, I will spell it out.. He even stated that he flashed a leak build throughout this quote session ;D

Implied that the ICS coming FROM samsung already runs fine [the intl ver.] because that is what this post is about and agent was saying that because of this SGS2 OFFICIAL release we will have a kernel. This has nothing to do with the CURRENT aosp ics build on the sgs2.

This person was likely confused.

This could be bad for the confused ones. Remember, this post was started on the topic of the Samsung Galaxy S2 official ICS release.

Playya was thinking the sammobile build..

This could cause problems for those confused.

We are now talking about sammobile releases.. and this is said..

Confirmed that an ICS *leak* was flashed, on the topic of sammobile releases, when in fact, agent DID NOT flash an ICS *leak*, he flashed an ICS build built from the aosp branch. [remember, people like to skim..]

And we continue down the path.. =P

This is what I'm talkin about, I was doing nothing more then clarifying for these above posters who were clearly confused. That is all. I hate to see people ruin their phones because they misinterpreted comments, or because information was posted that wasn't 100% accurate. That is all here guys, I'm not trying to argue. Jeez louise. =P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Don't do it!!! Edit....don't flash the international version ICS leak that is...only something labelled for Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
This thread made me dizzy. I'm gonna go lie down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You would be the only person I know that was able to save your phone... I tried EVERYTHING for someone...Kies drivers installed, searched and downloaded multiple I9100 drivers, the phone boots to stock ICS recovery, doesn't recognize SD card, vibrations randomly, no Wi-Fi, nothing. All you can see is the Touchwiz overlay on ICS but nothing works..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Case in point. haha

He was talking about the SGS2 aosp ICS build. Not the leak. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
I dunno, I did pretty simple recovery tasks. Not sure what they did wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Sigh ... okay.

#1 - AOSP ICS build that was developed for the International SGS2

#2 - Official ICS build for the International SGS2 TAR leaked by Samfirmware

agentfazexx flashed (in CWM), and recovered from #1. Flashing #2 (the Odin TAR) will brick the **** out of your E4GT.

They flashed #2 in Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
=P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I guess what was simple to you was simple to others as well just unfortunately it destroyed their phones. Glad we cleared all this up so that no one else tries anything crazy. Lord knows we don't need another 100 I flashed the intl version threads what do I dodo....lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
This is honestly the first I heard of people bricking their phones from the international version. Chances are, they flashed the tar, not the zip through CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
What you flashed was an AOSP build of ICS that was (and may still be for whatever reason) being worked on by developers for the International SGS2. It did not flash your bootloader which was likely the main reason you were able to recover.

What the other people flashed was the first one of THESE official International Samsung Galaxy SII ICS build leaks. Flashing one of these WILL change your bootloader, brick your phone and cause an automatic charge from JTAG on your credit card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Yes sir! We were just concerned for you and others. Just wanted to make sure the madness did not start again...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Thet did not read or comprehend what they read. Derp.Lol.

If they cant even see the error of being in the complete wrong forum when thet flashed int.ICS.. This thread would for sure blow there minds. If not clarified early.

Ok sorry back on topic. Carry on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
People love to blame this on Sprint, but in reality the Epic is the first (and only) original GS1 to get gingerbread officially. Others were more popular phones that were closer to the international version so they got AOSP builds, bit the epic got official 2.3 first. So the statements about Sprint dragging it out aren't accurate in relation to the other carriers, at least.
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
I have just had this recommendation form Samsung - don't take your phone outside if it is going to rain.

Thankfully there is not a problem with my phone.

A friend used their phone once in the rain and a coupe of months later after a nightly recharge the phone would not switch on (it was left on the previous night). The phone prior to this would take a couple of attempts to switch on, but when it was on it did everything fine and the phone hardly ever got switched off - so no real reason to return it for servicing. Servicing reported traces of water and thus invalided the warranty.

To say that we should never take our phone out in the rain is an appalling attitude to a device by it's very nature is meant to be taken with us outside.
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
My USB port had been playing up for a while and I sent it off to the service centre, it got the exact same diagnosis. I didn't even take it near my bathroom as I was worried about condensation but I do remember changing a song when it was drizzling a couple of times so guess that did it.
[Galaxy S II General] aagobbo:
Buy a Defy.

It's waterproof...
[Galaxy S II General] bionemesis:
Although certainly not waterproof, I believe my Otterbox Commuter case helps with water resistance. But yeah, I wouldn't even think of using my phone in the rain. That said though, I have used my phone while it's snowing .. probably similar amount of risk.
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
I think they meant not to take it out of your pocket or use it in the rain. I doubt they meant leave it at home.

Anyway, like all past phones, my S2 stays sheltered until I'm out if the rain.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newg:
I'm having a weird problem on my stock unrooted note.

Whenever I try to use public wifi hotspots that require a login on a webpage I'm having trouble.

The note connects to the network, but the browser will never redirect me to the login page of that network, so essentially I'm connected to a wifi network I can't use, which is irritating, as whenever it connects, the phone turns off the 3G/HSPA connection, meaning everything I try to do is going through the non-working wifi connection.

does anyone have any idea why i'm not being redirected to the login pages?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
tried a different browser? might be an issue with the wifi you are connecting to
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newg:
it's the stock browser I'm using, but I'll install a third party browser and give it a try. surely it should work on stock? I've tried multiple bt openzone wi-fi hotspots, and several 'the cloud' spots, as well as my college's wifi
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It works for me. Is the wifi hotspot that redirects your attempts when you use the dns, not the note itself. Try loading a random page if you have a blank start page.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newg:
Yeah I've been doing that. It worked on my old hd2 and on my gfs htc salsa. Also doesn't work with dolphin browser. Bizarre.

Hopefully whenever the UK gets an update to la4/ ics it will be fixed.

Anyone have any other ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] RussianMenace:
So, I've been riding this promo (essentially getting unlimited data for 9.99) for a while now and now that I'm eligible for an upgrade I was going to switch to a D4 (miss my QWERTY). Before upgrading I decided to call Verizon CS and make sure it wouldn't interfere with the promo, which it apparently won't. However, she did say that the promo would expire December of this year (12 months after contract expiration).

I could have sworn there was no end date on the promo? Has anyone heard anything about this?
[General Questions and Answers] antispiral:
Mmm so you get free texting and counting that as -20 for data or do you get $-20 specifically for the data?
[General Questions and Answers] RussianMenace:
It was a promotion back in the day to get people to pick up a data package. If you had talk (any number of minutes) and an UNLIMITED txt plan and added data to it you got a $20 discount on your bill, essentially giving you unlimited data for $9.99 as long as you maintain the first two criteria.
[General Questions and Answers] antispiral:
If your contract has expired they can essentially change your plan however they please..but I also get this same discount for all 4 lines on my plan and I have not heard of this happening. I guess your best bet would be to renew now and lock it in so even if they do change it, which they probably won't, you can get out of contract without ETF.
[General Questions and Answers] hilong08:
no you wont. Upgrade 3 of my lines with the plan and we have yet to lose the discount. UPGRADE FROM VZW ONLY THO. do not go to third party stores
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Utopia73:
I've had no luck finding a power control widget that has a theme like ics. I am not really that good a theming myself, does anyone know if a widget with such options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
i can't tell you i know of a widget but there im using a custom ROM called GummyNex and it has power controls in the status bar, so if you cant find one there are always custom ROMs, plus it stable in all around performance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You could give Widgetsoid a try. I'm back to using it because I like to have a WiFi AP toggle and a sound toggle. This is all stock widgetsoid with no custom colors. Just unticked "rounded corners" and set the indicator color to "cyan" (although you can put in custom colors if you want to match it exactly). As you can see the color is just a tad lighter and not uniform (like a light is shining on the top middle) but its darn close.

You can customize the buttons and add more than 5 also (somewhere around 8-9 toggles in total if you want). They also have 2x1 and 3x1 widgets, or 1x3, 1x4, and 1x5.

Here's a screenshot of them, widgetsoid on top and stock power control on bottom. Hope this helps.

After a few downloads from samsung appsstore i got the message "out of memory".

the is no telephone memory.

but the mobile tells me, that i have 1.6gb internal memory free, 3.3gb sd card free memory and usb space 1.12gb free.

So, i can´t find any reason fro the message.

Is there a partition (cahe or so) which can be out of space?

I was wondering if we there was an app that allows us to listen to the radio(not the internet radio.....the real radio) ......I know there is spirit FM but for some reason it ain't working on mine......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
The G2x p999 does have a radio chip inside, but it is not connected. It will never work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
So can't we connect it manually.....Any hack or something....I know a hack for NFC but the radio thing is killing me!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Nope, it'll never ever work. Period.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Not without knowing the pinning. CANNOT be done without opening the G2x and solder the pins with wire. But again knowing what pins to solder where. This has been asked and answered many times in the past.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] userno69:
Why would they put the chip in and not connect it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Blazing angel:
Just cause:mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
lol, that was my reaction: "because they can"

It's likely something dumb like they can't get licensing in the US to allow it to function because it produces too much EMI and it's cheaper to just stick it there than rewrite the installation process (of course there is the factor of it needing o be soldered in which does fit). If you really want to know, try asking LG. And if you, post the conversation here.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stephenju:
Use the force... I mean duct tape, which has a light side and a dark side and hold everything in the universe together.

Yeah right :D......The touch screen would be rendered useless....:P.......Any other Hack which doesn't involve Duct tape???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes:
I really don't know what you looking 4 but if you want fm radio download tunein app on the market. It give me all the local radio stations in my area. It's a good app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
Yeah but I am talking about real FM not internet radio....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stephenju:
If you still haven't got the hint from all the replies, then here is the definite answer:

NO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
Remember That there is always a way.....if the devs would have the attitude then we would get CM7 also by now!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
We already have CM7??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stephenju:
Let me be a bit clearer: There is NO hardware in the phone to make it work. A ROM or any piece of software won't magically make the missing hardware appear.

If you still don't understand this, well, good luck. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Magic my friends, magic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
Dude listen we have the radio inside our phones already but it has not been connected that's why we cannot use the spirit FM but if we found a way how to attach the radio then we can get it working!!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Just go buy one, they are like 15$... why go through all the trouble and possibly have to tear the phone apart and solder things and end up screwing things up real bad?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stephenju:
Again. Good luck finding out where and how to "connect" them. It's a smart phone with SoC and ICs on multi-layer boards, not a bread board like you see in some cute high school electrical labs.

I don't think you have any idea what you are asking. But good luck anyways.

BTW Even if you do get it wired in properly, I would imagine you would still need to write a rom that could utilize it. So good luck on that one as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yuhfhrh:
He could probably just use the optimus 2x radio apk. I remember people doing that awhile back and the g2x was able to scan and pick up radio stations, just no audio would come through
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
Yeah.....I realized about this right before I was going to solder but it seems that the radio files has to be change within the rom which is not easy as putting an apk in the rom.....so I will rewrite CM9 to make it work with this device.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Biker1bob:
Why has no one mentioned that the Canadian wind version stock rom has working FM radio app in it??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
Can you upload the apk?????
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Biker1bob:
I would have to reload the stock rom and I am not sure how to extract the apk from the rom. There was one listed on the optimus forum but it was a megaupload link and they are dead.

I think the wind version is just the T-Mobile version with the radio connected because in all other things I use T-Mobile stuff.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sc2ascend:
As others have said the hardware just isn't there. TuneIn is the best radio app and has a very large catalogue of stations or if you happen to live in Canada Rogers Radio has many local stations from around the country.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Biker1bob:
Why would you say that when the wind version has radio and I have used it and listened to it?? It has the hardware just like the euro optimus gx2 has ..but uses the bands like the T-Mobile ..its in there I have listened to it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kuhla:
I listen to radio often and in my area there are

some
