Finally get off Sprints lies of 4G.. I was there from the beginning when they promised me Wimax would be everywhere..

Realizing the HSPA with T-mobile is definitely different then at&t's HSPA.. Its very fast in my area..

So I'm doing it!!!

I plan to root it first thing.. Then put on the newest Juggernaut Rom..

It seems very stable from what many are saying..

I assume there are themes and such for this Rom as well?

Any other tips or tricks you guys can recommend that would be great..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iloveandroid16:
Noo try Macnut... support for juggs is pretty much dead...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Ive been using touchless and its been quite good with the darkside kernel...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] donm76:
Congrats on the phone. I'm still running juggernaut 3.7. I haven't really felt the need to try another Rom. I have looked at the macnut. It seems like it's still jugs with little changes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
Same here man, I left Sprint after being a customer since 2006...

I was pleasantly shocked at my coverage with T-Mobile and the HSPA+ speeds here, everything is so much better than Sprint. Congrats on the move, I got out because of a material change in the contract. ;)

I recommend reading up on the rooting guides as well as watching this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfA1KKzXkFU. This video is pretty much is fool-proof and if you're a veteran to rooting, then this phone is EZ PZ.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
Wow.. thanks all.. Thanks for the heads up on the rom..

This Macnut rom.. It's super stable? Sense rom I assume?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grawkiller73:
First of all..

First of all, you must root and install a custom ROM if possible. Definitely makes the experience more enjoyable
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
The most up to date roms in our forum are macnut and darkside.

Also, they use touchwiz... Sense is for htc phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
heheh.. ok... Touchwiz it is.. :)

I'm gonna put Macnut as it seems the most popular..

Anything else?

Whats some other goodies I should know about?

Camera tricks?

themes I assume are all included in the rom topic post ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
if you want something that will have everything working, even have apps work that sometimes somehow it doesnt in other roms. Just root and stock :) and if you want something that doesnt update a lot, root and stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] deathknellx:
Yeah I was reading that some custom roms use up a lot of battery when using Bluetooth. So I have been reading a great deal before I actually do anything. I can deal with the bloatware for now till I get a good grasp of everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
stock and root, then remove bloatwares.. thats all you need. all custom rom add is the 14 toggle statusbar, maybe custom kernel... to support BLN or however ( top of of my head ) seen it around but doesnt phase me... other than that, its just themes.. everything is based on 2.3.6 + themes, especially eugenes rom, it seems nothing but theme and LG hack... same ol same.... and people gave him money for a " theme ROM" from him.. wow... give me 350, we will have AOSP them.. with tweaks... :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spovik:
Wife got her SGS2 yesterday and I rooted it with Juggernaut. As a rom, it was fairly disappointing at first as it looked nearly exactly stock, but it did have some good UI tweaks built in as well as an app to toggle bloat on and off. Using titanium to get rid of some of the extra bloat, and launcher pro to ditch TouchWiz UI it's running pretty smooth.

Today is the first day of real use and I have high hopes for it. :)

Try a few roms, You'll spend more time waiting for them to download than to install and configure with all the upload sites now, but at least you can get a feel for what's out there.

Then just bookmark and stalk the forums for a AOSP ICS build. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
The modded versions of 2.3.6 are much better than stock. try macnut or darkside warfare. those are currently the most up to date roms available for our phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
I tried darkside's ROM; and honestly I don't like touchwiz and I wasn't impressed by the rom because it still had samsung and T-mobile crap on it. Don't get me wrong its a great job with the kernel and I can tell that a lot of hard work went into it, but I'm not looking for just no bloat and system customization. I guess I'm spoiled coming from latest support and development for Cyanogenmod on my Nexus phones, but I loaded the abandoned CM7 mod and Da_G's kernel for the Skyrocket S2 as some other people have used. Some issues...but its expected since it was abandoned in its alpha stage. I'll just be patiently waiting until CM9 rolls around :).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
Who said CM9 is coming to this phone?

I got the phone today.. And all I can say is WOW!!

It's unreal!!

Whats touchwiz exactly ??

I rooted the phone first thing, but as of now, I'm not putting a rom into it.. I will just play with it as it is now..

I hate the fact though I cannot change the drawer task bar... The bottom buttons...

I don't use the stock messaging program (I use handcet) and I cannot remove it..

Sucks..

as for the speed..

Holy ****!!!

I cannot believe this glorified 3g system is this fast.. I guess it doesn't matter LTE, Wimax or what.. I'm getting download speeds of 20 down and 3-4 up..

Average.. lowest I've seen 5 down so far.

This thing is awesome!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
Touchwiz is the launcher. If you want to change your drawer apps go to your apps menu and hit the menu button them edit. Then just drag whatever you want to change in your dock.

And not to bust your bubbles, have you checked your display on low brightness in a dark room and noticed the blobs and vertical lines on your phone.? I'm pretty sure you'll begin to notice it very soon. Thought id give you a heads up. This is am overall bad ass phone except for that flaw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mixedguy:
You know you can just add the flag -notw to the Darkside file name and that will get rid of TouchWiz and most of the T-mobile/Samsung apps right? I'm guessing you didn't read the "flags" area in the first post of the DARKSIDE DIGITAL WARFARE thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
Went with my dad to get these phones today..

I went through about 3 of them, before I found two that had ZERO lines or issues..

I checked the best I could.. Went into the back room, which was dark and opened a bunch of dark pictures from the web..

I saw some lines on 3 of them.. before I found the next two that didn't look like they had them..

so if it does have them, its so minor, you will never be able to tell..

At least not enough that I have to TRY and see them..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] novanosis85:
Just picked up 2 of these babies!

I was afraid to switch from HTC but i love it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
Glad to hear you checked before getting it. There have been a majority that have been unlucky with finding a good one including myself. Went through 3 sgs2 before I found one that wasnt as bad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
Yep... Even if I see it later down the road.. I've learned to deal with small things like this..

don't get me wrong.. IT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN..

but if its hard to notice, only us fanatics will.. lol

Ok..

down to business..

Don't tell me, my old Evo has notification led's and this phone doesn't..

whats up? lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
I installed Rom manager..

I don't see anyone talking about this here, do people use it for this phone?

It works and I can reboot into recovery, which is nice..

But can I flash the RA version recovery?

Or flash even clockwork with it?

I'm already rooted, not sure what recovery this is right now, its the one I got from the video.. The video everyone recommends to root this phone??

Anyway, I rebooted into recovery and went to backup/restore and selected backup..

It seems to be doing it now, but not sure if this is considered a nandroid back up..

??

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
Nope no led notification..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thcnme956:
I jusy got mine today. Rooted, flashed cwm touch recovery (f'n awesome), flashed jug, then ultimate ics theme. Lovin it so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
instead of LED we have the soft key notification... im sure you heard people talk about it.. its BLN.. you need a supported kernel which is usually in the title BLN... go to the market and dl BLN app

for camera... get the miui camera in the theme and apps section.. its somewhere in there... its better for macro and night shots compared to the stock crappy camera software... camcorder does not work yet for miui camera... i think eugene is working on that.

i think i read somewhere that someone can't get rid of the stock messaging??? really? download titanium backup and remove it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] dub123:
Hi,

I am currently using Samsung Focus Flash on AT&T network. It shows I have used 45 mbs in just over 3 days and most of them like yesterdays nights 12:48AM 21mbs are at odd times when I am at home and on wifi. I previously used Blackberry Bold 9000 and never exceeded 100mbs of usage per month. Before that I had iPhone and it too stood around 120-140mbs per month.

I mainly use it for mails and hardly any multimedia. One thing I suspect is when downloading podcasts its not considering Wifi, as other then that I can not think of any other reason as I do not use it for any video streaming like intensive activities.

I came across few threads but all from early 2011 like on engadget etc. Few suggested it has something to with Yahoo mail. I have one yahoo mail account.

To debug this for now I have turned off cellular data as will be home over the weekend. Please suggest. :confused:

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] 66stang351:
If you don't have it plugged in, you aren't on WIFI. WIFI turns off when the screen goes off unless the phone is plugged in to power.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dub123:
Please ignore will monitor and update if still an issue
[Windows Phone 7 General] Krissrock:
how are you able to tell when the data is being used?

I did notice that this month, my past bill was pretty high on usage. I usually don't ever use more than ~200 mb...this bill, i hit over a gig...don't know how
[Windows Phone 7 General] dub123:
I can check minutes and data used from AT&T website as well as their mobile apps.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
It might be AT$T cheating u on ur data. I have Tmo and I don't notice any leaked data usage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dub123:
Thanks, I have done complete reset of phone and started with minimal settings to narrow down to leak if possible. Does any one of you download podcast directly to phone ? As that is only thing which would have bandwidth, but when downloading I was always connected to Wifi so should not have been charged to Cellular data.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
Yea there is a setting that will make it only download podcasts over WiFi.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Garrickus:
Downloading Podcasts

I download a lot of podcasts to my phone, using several different Apps including "Bringcast", "Podcasts Pro", and "Podceiver". As someone else pointed out, if your phone is not plugged into usb or wall charger and receiving a charge, as soon as your screen turns off, the download will revert to cellular data and stop using your Wifi.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Krissrock:
I think i know what was my jump in data...that damn game Fragger. I remember the install was 85 MB's and it wasn't coming down correctly. I kept having to retry the download and it was telling me to get on wifi,,which I was. I bet those hiccups caused the jump for me last month
[Windows Phone 7 General] dub123:
After rest usage went down but still between 12-1 in morning I see few mbs used. I have connected phone to fiddler2 to monitor the network usage, and shut down cellular data. Will update my findings if anything serious.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
Sorry if this has been ask but I'm on the phone and not coming up with much through the search. I've only had this phone for a little more then a day.

I've found this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16198978

But it hasn't been updated in a while and I'm just wondering if that is the only and or the best eng hboot available.

I'm on a CDMA Evo 3D rooted with revolutionary I had hboot 1.30 but after root I now have 1.40 s-off.

I do a lot of flashing and just want to be able to fully use fastboot in case I need it so any help would be great.

Also while I'm posting in here does anyone have any recommendations on radios I'm on the ones that came with the phone 0.97.00.0518 and from looking at the radio thread they seem to be a little old.

TIA for any help or replies.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:

The ENG hboot in that thread is the one I'd think you want to use. As far as the radios go, I'm not super sure. I'm on the same as you, and haven't upgraded nor seen a need to update at this point. My signal and speeds are great, so I figure just leave well enough alone. If you do decide to update to the latest radios, don't flash just the radio. You need to find an all in one zip by xHausx or freeza to flash all the necessary firmware. There may be even more all in one zip's floating around, but I know those two definitely have one. Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
Thanks

Do you know of a thread for hboots? I know the evo 4g had one.
[HTC EVO 3D] twister99403:
hey I remember you from my OG EVO :) i'm s-off 1.4 hboot and for radios's I used freeza's all in one, worked like a charm. Loving viperROM if you want a suggestion :p

[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
That looks like a whole ROM. Is there a PG86IMG.zip of just all the radios?

Thanks again for the reply.

Oh as for the hboot I found what I was looking for.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
The one he linked you is the only one I know of. Has the Eng Hboot and 1.40 in it. There may be other threads, haven't seen them though.
[HTC EVO 3D] twister99403:
it's not a whole rom lol when you download it the file is a pg186img.zip or whatever it's called. this is everything that was updated with the recent OTA, firmware, radios etc...won't relock your phone either...
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
LOL I didn't notice the link at first but I found it thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
Oh I got it , I was confused by the title of the thread but I noticed it was posted within a thread.

Thanks again for the help sorry I'm all out of thanks for the day.

Oh and thanks for the ROM suggestion I've already downloaded it but I'm trying out mikrunny atm and thats next on my list.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
I keep having the data to drop off completely most of the time the only way to regain it is to reboot. It seems to be worse when I'm in a 3g area,more frequent. I am rooted I have tried several different Roms from Aosp to sense flashed a couple different radios but still have these annoying data drops. Has anyone else encountered this and is there some way to make this phone more stable?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
Solved. well sort of.

On after reading a ton of post thru out the web and trying different things nothing helped. Still had constant data drops. So I tried the. Bamf_forever_1.10 rom. I have been on this rom now for 2 days so far zero data drops. I have not changed anything else just flashed this Rom. So I guess the question is what makes this rom so different that it holds the signal so much better?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Classicmm:
Good to c you got it working, mine took a phone replacement. Maybe you found the right combo of ROM/radio.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
Yes maybe. But too bad I may be limited to a single Rom. At least this one is very impressive to say the least.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Classicmm:
Make a nandroid, make note of the radios n keep flashing/experimenting. Maybe your phone likes sense 3.0?? Yeah, forever 1.10 is one of my go to's on my sd card, good ROM

when I got it, there was none under it.. two weeks later, there's a speck of noticeable something (dust?) under the screen now. It wasn't there prior to this. how the hell does it get there?

Sent from my HTC EVO View Tablet
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mohitster:
any photos?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dictionary:
Through the open ports on any device. Headphone, charging port, etc. Some devices are built a bit more stuffed inside, so harder for dust to get very far inside. Others have a bit more wiggle room, so dust finds its way to the screen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jayochs:


see that white speck that's not in line with those other dots that are part of the screen? that's it. that really sucks, because now it annoys the living hell out of me. why is HTC so bad with getting dust under the screen?!

So after 3 weeks of having an Amaze that went sour (that turned out to have a fraudulent IMEI) I'm back to the Sensation. Didn't realize how much I miss this phone!

BTW - The Amaze I had got a little dust under the screen. Not a lot, but like 2 particles. Just saying so because everyone has said the Amaze is dust-free.

Also the Sensation forums are just, well, nicer. Glad to be back. Feels like home.:)

[HTC Sensation] dislplin01:
Glad to have you back
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
whats a fradulent imei?
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I bought what I thought was a good/new Amaze off eBay. Worked fine for 3 weeks then refused to get a signal. After talking to T-Mobile support they determined that the IMEI on the Amaze was blacklisted due to a report of that being stolen. So they had turned that phone off from getting a signal. I emailed the seller on eBay and right away he told he would refund me the money and I'd send him back the Amaze.

Lesson learned.
[HTC Sensation] caloyzter:
Good thing that the seller refunded your money. :)
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Yeah, thankfully I would have eBay and PayPal on my side also if needed.

But truly I'm just glad to be back to a phone where development and the community thrives as well.

[Nexus One General] Rody2k6:
I joined this forum actually to get some android help from ya'll you see well I live in Brazil and my parents in the USA, so I dropped my iPhone 3G (yes 3G not 3GS) and the touch screen cracked, so I would like to know from you guys that have more experience with Android if the Nexus One is a good phone still - compared that I only had a iPhone 3G which is not that great nowadays lol. So like the title of the topic says, is the nexus one still a good phone to this day compared at least to my old phone?

The community is also very active with updating it to the latest android it seems, and besides all I do with my phone is send SMS, read e-books and play Angry Birds and other games of that type, and a better camera would be welcome also.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] Theshawty:
Yes, the Nexus One is an awesome today still, but something that's a tad annoying is the power button. It might start to fail relatively early or just completely die and a replacement costs as much as a used Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] ShadowCodeGaming:
No, the n1 is crap compared to new phones, buy the desire hd much better processor (1.5 ghz), Hd camera's, 1gb internal memory, etc etc.
[Nexus One General] Rody2k6:
I read online that if you root your phone, you can use the trackball to power it on and other methods, does it still apply to the latest version of android that N1 runs?

and is not about newer or such it is more about cost and as I am in Brazil, the phones here are expensive and I don't have much to work with anyways, so the N1 is a good and very affordable option and already comes unlock, well I could root the Desire HD but hey, the N1 already comes unblocked lol
[Nexus One General] Theshawty:
To be able to unlock your screen with either the volume buttons or the trackball itself, you would need to flash a custom ROM.
[Nexus One General] Rody2k6:
That would be where cyanogenmod would come in right?
[Nexus One General] Theshawty:
You learn fast ^^

I would recommend partitioning your sdcard (512mb-1gb ext4, no swap, no secondary ext) through 4ext recovery and then install this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416894

First wipe everything three times (just to be sure)

[Nexus One General] Estimated Prophet Hawk:
I don't know what planet you live on, but it's not the planet called "Reality." I have a SGSII and it has all of these great specs, but quite honestly, it's an inferior phone to the Nexus One. The Galaxy nexus and the Nexus S just blow it away.

There are so many things you can do with native android that you either can't do or are just a plain old pain in the ass compared to my nexus one.

The only things the Galaxy S II has on the N1 are internet speed (only in certain areas), camera and screen size/brightness.

Get the N1 and don't listen to spec hounds. Specs don't mean crap.
